Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"King, there's a message from Colonel Hawley!"

After a while, news came from Hawley.

"Take it over!"

The blue light flickered, and the bust of Holly suddenly appeared in front of Li Meng.

"What did you find?"

Hawley saluted the sky eagle and reported: "The destination is an asteroid field. Buildings similar to shipyards have been found and all have been destroyed."

What Holly found was not unexpected to Li Meng.

The battle moon of the Orcs is transformed from an asteroid.

It's easy to think of shipyards and asteroid belts.

"Don't be in a hurry to come back, lead the fleet to search all the asteroid belts in the star system, and don't let a fish slip through the net."

Holly: "Yes!"

To deal with the Ork barbarian species, they can only be exterminated.

There can be no mercy.

Be kind to the orcs, those green-skinned orcs will just think you're a big fool.

Given the chance, they will mercilessly uncover your skull.

Two hours later...

In the dark universe, the expedition fleet slowly entered the orbit of "Shatuo Star".

As it gets closer, observing "Shatuo Star" at close range is different.

It is no longer yellow, and the green dots can still be seen in the yellow of the main body.

Occasionally, a large green can be seen, and even a lake can be seen in the oasis.

At the same time, on the surface of the planet, in various oases.

All the green-skinned orcs roared to the sky.

They saw the shadow of the ship in the sky.

That's the enemy, that's the prey.

In an oasis of houses that look like a pile of metal trash,

Giant torpedoes were erected by Grit.

They bounced and roared, and ignited the torpedoes at the urging of the bosses.

A thunderous roar resounded through the heavens and the earth immediately.

Just below the surface of the planet under the imperial fleet, in dozens of oases.

Tens of thousands of giant torpedoes rose into the sky, soaring into the sky with long trails.

This scene was very shocking.

"Warning, a large number of flying vehicles have been detected on the surface of the planet. They are orbital defense weapons and giant missiles!"

Almost at the same time, piercing sirens sounded from all ships in the fleet.

Standing in front of the window, Li Meng also saw the giant missile roaring towards the planet's atmosphere.

They drag long white tail flames, which are very eye-catching.

If there is only one, it is difficult to be seen.

When tens of thousands of missiles strike, they are quite eye-catching.

The defense, while primitive, is useful.

After all, saturation strike is a very difficult problem in any era.

No matter how strong the void shield is, it can reach the bombardment of more than a dozen giant missiles, but it cannot withstand the bombardment of dozens or hundreds of giant missiles.

Turning around, Li Meng ordered: "Notify the whole ship, leave the orbit of the planet immediately!"

Following Li Meng's order, the ships of the fleet that had just entered the orbit of the planet sprayed out long tail flames.

Under the powerful thrust, the speed of the slow-moving fleet suddenly accelerated.

Just as the fleet left the orbit of the planet, a large number of giant missiles followed.

The battleship Void Shield at the rear of the fleet suddenly rippled.

All giant torpedoes that touch the void shield are teleported into the warp.

As a product of subspace technology, the strength of the void shield is beyond doubt.

The near-anti-aircraft guns with shooting angles on all ships of the fleet are firing.

The dense bullet marks formed a rain of fire and attacked the giant missile group attacking from behind.

A large number of giant missiles were blown up in the air.

"boom!"

The void shields of several warships were destroyed.

Before the void shield energy storage was deployed again, multiple missiles hit the hull.

I saw the balls of fire bursting, and the huge power directly tore the armor of the hull.

The tail hull of a Cobra destroyer was directly blasted to pieces.

The cobra destroyer that lost its power was captured by the planet's gravity and gradually flew towards Shatuo planet.

Soon, it will enter planetary orbit.

Then fly around the planet, and soon after, it will fall into the atmosphere.

One battleship was lucky, and the friendly warship took the initiative to block behind it, using the void shield to resist the incoming missiles.

"It has broken away from the planet's orbital defense firepower network!"

It was not until the fleet moved away from "Shatuo Star" that there were no more missiles launched from the surface of the planet.

Fleet flagship, on the bridge.

Sitting in the spacious captain's seat, Li Meng frowned slightly.

If it weren't for protecting the ecological environment of "Shatuo Star".

He had long ordered the fleet to forcibly break into low-Earth orbit to carry out orbital strikes on the surface of the planet.

Although it will cause certain losses to the fleet, it can completely destroy the orbital defense firepower points on the planet.

In interstellar wars, the battle for planets is often the most tragic.

Because every livable planet is a hedgehog, a planet-level fortress.

Not only planet-level shield protection, but also a large number of orbital defense weapons.

Its firepower is not comparable to that of the fleet.

Because of this, interstellar wars often turn into wars of attrition for both sides.

It is difficult for the offensive side to push the enemy horizontally in waves.

It can only devour the opponent's territory bit by bit, weakening the opponent's industrial capabilities and vitality.

Sometimes an interstellar war lasts for thousands of years.

Take Apocalypse, the home planet of the Apocalypse Clan, as an example.

Even if the four great empires formed a large-scale coalition, it would be extremely difficult to break through Apocalypse within a short period of time.

Because he was very close to Eveli, Li Meng was once fortunate to have seen the orbital defense system of Apocalypse.

Planetary shields are the most basic things.

A slightly stronger interstellar civilization has planetary shields on its colonial planets.

In addition to planetary shields, each province of Apokolips has its own city-level shield.

There are no less than a million giant blast energy turrets hidden underground, and there is one giant blast energy turret on an average of ten kilometers on the surface of the world.

There are also a large number of laser silos and sublight missiles.

It can be said that Apocalypse is a planet-level fortress.

You can't see it on weekdays, but once it comes to wartime, it will show its terrifying fangs.

Although the fleet in the universe has the initiative.

But if you want to occupy a fortress-level planet, without a fleet of a certain size, you will never return.

Even if it is successfully occupied, its own losses will not be small.

Although the orbital defense firepower of "Shatuo Star" is not as exaggerated as that of Apocalypse Star.

After all, the Ork barbarians are not a race that likes to guard their homes.

But the strength of the Imperial fleet has not yet reached the point where it can ignore the Ork barbarian orbital weapons.

After all, the technology of the Orc barbarians is quite weird.

The weapons used may seem primitive, but they are incredibly powerful.

As far as the missile is concerned, the burning tail flame is obviously chemical propulsion.

But its flight speed is not only amazing, but also has a super long range.

Launched from the surface of the planet, it can chase beyond the orbit of the planet.

You must know that the process of launching a missile from the surface of the planet to the orbit of the planet is extremely fuel-consuming.

And the giant cannon on the Battle Moon, which fires shells traveling at more than 20% the speed of light.

This speed has far exceeded the magnetic acceleration cannon of the former UNSC of the Pan-Galaxy United States.

Is this normal?

Of course it's not normal, because the cannons of the Orc barbarians also use chemical propulsion.

It can be seen from the flames ejected from the muzzle.
