All the fleet's dreadnought flagships, plus nearly four hundred Phantom-class battlecruisers, fired a salvo at the same time at a distance of nine hundred thousand kilometers.
In an instant, eight hundred dazzling beams of light suddenly streaked across the chaotic starry sky.
“Boom!!”
In just a few seconds, the violent main gun bombarded the void shield of Xilinzuo's Sky Fortress.
Even though there was a void shield between them, the violent attack still caused a violent roar to erupt from inside the Sky Fortress.
Under this kind of attack, the defensive energy of the Sky Fortress's thick void shield was being rapidly consumed.
Duncan stood up suddenly and asked loudly: "What's going on!?"
"How can the enemy's range be so far?"
"Report shield loss!"
A series of numbers were reported by the responsible department.
Hearing this number, Duncan and Clive's faces looked a little ugly.
Even with such a terrifying attack, the main body of the Sky Fortress still needed to be 300,000 kilometers away to hit the enemy.
With this kind of fighting posture, there's no point in fighting.
Clive slammed the handrail beside him and said in shock, "How can there be so many? How can it be so far away!"
Even though they already knew that Galaxy Defense had main battleships with ultra-long range, these battleships had not been demonstrated in the previous battles.
This made Clive and Duncan relax their vigilance.
But what they didn't know was that the vast majority of the Mirage-class battlecruisers were in the Dreadnought Defense Strike Group under Li Xin's command, and had not been deployed in the subsequent battles.
The firepower strike capability of a Mirage-class battlecruiser is equivalent to that of several ordinary battleships.
The Galaxy Defense Group already has an advantage in main gun firepower, and now the advantage is even more obvious.
This is because the combat distance is far now, and Li Xin has no intention of sending his own fleet forward to withstand the attack of the Sky Fortress.
Otherwise, if the battleships in the fleet fired at the same time, Xilin's Sky Fortress would be in trouble.
The continuous salvos from the Phantom-class battlecruisers made the enemies of Xilin's Sky Fortress feel numb.
Looking at the reports of void shield damage, Clive felt a little itchy and tingling.
He said, "This isn't right. This isn't right. If this continues, how can we continue to fight?"
The enemy was far beyond the range of the fortress, and their shooting from a distance left the defenders helpless.
The main guns of the Sky Fortress cannot fire that far, and the main guns of the fleet are the same, they cannot fire that far either.
Duncan said, "If we want to rely on the Sky Fortress for defense, we can only do so by destroying these enemy warships that are firing at high speeds from a distance."
"Otherwise, they are out of range and we have no means of response."
Clive said angrily: "Nonsense, of course I know!"
"But how?!"
"We've been beaten down to the point of relying on the Sky Fortress's defenses. How can we launch an assault?"
Now, the other ships of the Galaxy Defense Group have no intention of entering the shooting range of the Sky Fortress.
All of them are waiting at a distance of six or seven hundred thousand kilometers.
Even the front line of frigate defense is at least 650,000 kilometers away.
At this distance, the Sky Fortress and the fleet behind it have no way to deal with these warships.
The Galaxy Defense Group has more fleets and stronger combat capabilities. How can we fight under the current circumstances?
Clive couldn't think of a good solution.
He said: "Now we either have to attack and decapitate them, destroying this fleet, or we have to evacuate Xilin directly."
Duncan was anxious: "Retreat!?"
"Where to retreat?"
"If Xilin can't hold it, the planets behind it will surrender, and we won't have a suitable stronghold like this anymore."
Then, he took a step back in a daze, muttering, "You want to retreat to the Oort Cloud United Hegemony?"
Clive did not answer the question directly.
He said, "I will organize an assault now. Let your fleet charge in the front. All carrier-based aircraft and mecha units, including the mechas and carrier-based aircraft units in the Sky Fortress, will be dispatched!"
"Charge directly at the enemy fleet, and deploy the A-class psykers!"
"It's a matter of life and death. Don't think about saving strength. If we don't destroy these ships, Xilin will not be able to bear it."
Clive said coldly to Duncan, "As for the unbearable price, you just said it. I hope you understand."
"I still have a way to retreat, but you... don't."
"Go prepare, I'll be there for this battle too!"
Clive summoned his power armor, put it on, looked towards Li Xin's position in the starry sky, and said coldly:
"I've heard that the Grand Marshal of the Galaxy Defense Group is an Alpha-class Psychic. I'm going to give it a try and see what kind of power a newly promoted Alpha-class Psychic has!"
Soon, the assault fleet was assembled, and the huge fleet of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony formed an assault force and headed straight for the Phantom-class battlecruiser.
Attacking even faster than them were the carrier-based aircraft units and mecha units that swarmed out from countless large warships, from the Sky Fortress, and from each weapon station.
These troops rushed at a faster speed, and the mechas under Duncan and Clive jumped out of the subspace first.
Heading straight for the several frigate defense lines on the periphery.
The mecha units in each fleet responded quickly, and one mecha after another jumped out of the hangar and fought with the enemy's mecha units.
In the previous rounds of battles, the Oort Cloud United Hegemony had the advantage.
Using more numbers to fight against the Galaxy Defense Group, now it is finally the turn of the Galaxy Defense Group to take control.
For the first time in several battles, the Galaxy Defense Group gained a numerical advantage.
More, stronger and more experienced mechas rushed towards the enemy, and the mecha troops of both sides directly entered into a white-hot state of combat.
There is an even larger number of carrier-based aircraft forces behind it.
From battleships, cruisers, and even light aircraft carriers, huge clusters of carrier-based aircraft engaged in fierce space combat with enemy carrier-based aircraft forces between the frigates' defense lines.
A large number of carrier-based aircraft did not choose to carry anti-ship attack systems, heavy space missiles and space torpedoes,
It is not yet time for them to start destroying enemy ships. As long as they can break through the defense line and stop the enemy's attack, it will be a great achievement.
One after another, Class A mechas, accompanied by a large number of mecha troops, suddenly appeared in the battle line of the Phantom-class battlecruisers.
They could no longer wait for the carrier-based aircraft to rush in, and could only rely on the mecha troops to carry out decapitation operations.
Clive's mecha charged forward with furious force, charging straight at a Phantom-class battlecruiser unit.
"kill!"
