In the last 15 minutes of the countdown, the onboard radar re-captured the traces of the three missiles.

Last two minutes.

The missiles ignited one after another and underwent final terminal acceleration.

They made minor adjustments to their course, but the top attack Dolap feared didn't come. Instead, the three missiles each flew in a straight line, crashing into the protective barrier at the front of the fleet.

The intense flash illuminated every corner of the flagship's navigation bridge, and the glass of the observation windows automatically reduced its transparency after detecting excessive brightness.

Because there is no medium to transmit shock waves in space, the power of a nuclear explosion is mainly reflected in thermal radiation and gamma rays, in addition to the kinetic impact of the direct contact surface.

The protective barrier vibrated under the impact of kinetic energy, thermal energy and high-energy particles, and for a moment its brightness dimmed.

But in just a moment, the barrier generator automatically increased the output at the corresponding position, and the entire barrier was like an impenetrable wall.

Between the nuclear explosion and the fleet's ships.

The strong interference environment temporarily ineffective the fleet's means of detecting the external environment.

After the power of the nuclear explosion faded slightly, the second wave of attacks followed.

The second round of attack was launched by the mechas that were originally ambushed behind the asteroid.

They used their handheld 30mm machine guns to continuously fire at the fleet, and some of them also had a 120mm smoothbore gun mounted on their backs.

A mixture of the two types of shells flew towards the search fleet.

Dolapuli ignored this.

The first wave of attacks had proven that these mechas were nothing more than mere decoration. He had no idea what kind of bizarre civilization the other side was, that they could actually create giant robots that had no practical value other than being pretty.

"Old Li! Find a way to catch him alive for me."

He suddenly shouted.

"Okay!"

The person who responded was another green-skinned, big-eyed guy. He was 1.75 meters tall, which was very tall from the perspective of a Lalong person. Most people's door frames were not that high.

Lao Li is the weapons officer on the spacecraft, responsible for managing the marines on the spacecraft. He is a retired member of the Lalon Special Forces and has extensive experience in CQB and urban combat.

After systematic training, he brought his urban combat skills into space.

He tinkered with a lot of strange capture devices that could easily capture and paralyze their targets without causing too much harm to the members inside.

It's a magical tool for catching tongues.

"The fleet advances 500km!"

Micro-control master Lao Li took over part of the command power.

"After this round of attack, immediately shut down the protective barrier and throw some lit hydrogen barrels out from the side."

Then he changed the channel again.

"Teams one and two are on standby in the hangar, bring anti-armor weapons."

Dolap was a little confused about what he was trying to do, but out of trust in his long-time partner, he did not try to stop him.

The fleet advanced towards the enemy's fire, and after the last red dot on the radar hit the protective barrier and exploded, the entire barrier was actively shut down.

Then, two huge high-pressure drums filled with hydrogen-oxygen mixture were thrown out from the airlock on the front side of the flagship.

These rollers were manually detonated very close to the surface of the spacecraft. The explosion was not very powerful, but the sound was very intimidating.

Because some of the gas had already leaked out, the explosion looked like a fake gasoline barrel in a Hollywood movie.

When it burns, it turns into a huge fireball. Although it does not quite match the state of real explosives, it does have a great visual impact.

…

In the asteroid belt on the other side of the fleet.

More than a dozen mechas were lying behind several asteroids.

These asteroids are the waste left over from the initial formation of this galaxy. These wastes should have been blown farther away from the galaxy by stellar winds, but they are now pushed here artificially.

Most of these mechas are white, with only one having a bright blue paint job.

The configuration of this mecha is visibly more luxurious than its companions, and some joints have significantly thicker armor protection.

"Captain Dawn calling Deep Space One. All the second round of attacks have hit the target, and the target barrier has disappeared."

The radio signal was sent from the lead aircraft and arrived at the three deep space bases one after another after a delay of about half a minute.

These bases are the three locations where nuclear bombs were previously launched to attack patrol ships.

After making a brief report, the captain was about to lead everyone to evacuate, but at this moment, her optical sensor captured a faint fire.

Because the distance between the two sides is very far, the fire is actually not easy to be discovered.

Except for the captain's mecha, the other mechas were not aware of the situation. They were just preparing to evacuate according to the captain's instructions.

In their eyes, their saturation attack, combined with the nuclear weapons of the deep space base, had defeated the enemy's strange barrier, which was already a great achievement.

But the captain immediately gave the order to stop the retreat.

"There is fire, and the target is damaged."

It was obvious that the captain had been fooled by Lao Li. She mistook the artificially detonated hydrogen cylinder for an explosion caused by the damage to the alien fleet.

And Lao Li on the fleet side was also very cooperative.

He ordered the flagship's bow to be pushed down, making it appear as if the spacecraft was out of control, and then continuously threw hydrogen barrels out from various angles and detonated them.

To make it more realistic, he also ordered the hangar crew to dismantle some old drones, chop up the pieces, and throw them out of the airlock.

The other party obviously had primitive radar equipment with fairly good performance, and they could easily detect these fragments on the radar screen.

Lao Li's scam worked again.

The alien mecha troops were immediately confused by the fragments, and the captain asked the deep space base for pursuit.

But the base's response was just to wait and see.

Seeing that the other party had not retreated, Lao Li felt that his plan was half successful.

In order to lure the enemy out of its hole, Lao Li ordered the spacecraft that was originally hiding behind the flagship to be moved to both sides of the flagship, and at the same time asked them to release some small shuttles to pretend that they were rescuing the trapped people.

At the same time, in order to make it more credible, he also found several intense movie lines and randomly played them on the local radio public channel.

Anyway, there was a language barrier and the other party couldn't understand what he was saying. He just needed to make the other party feel that his side was in complete chaos.
