The Covenant's fleet, led by the HMS Dreadnought, advanced in an offensive formation towards the Allied defense line. Under the powerful fire suppression, the Covenant's initial advance seemed unusually smooth.
However, this smooth progress did not last long as they encountered frantic resistance from the Allied fleet. Taking advantage of the terrain, the Allied forces, under the command of Zheng Gan, harassed the Covenant fleet in a spearhead formation from the side.
Although this harassment was of little practical use, it effectively interfered with the vision of the Covenant's instruments, making them unaware of what was happening in front of them.
The coalition forces' strenuous resistance did not allow the Covenant's prophets to notice anything unusual. Once the interstellar battle entered this kind of large-scale corps combat, it would not be so easy to escape simply.
And in the absence of a crushing gap in technology, the number of fleets, the caliber of weapons, and the range of rays are still the most intuitive truths.
In the eyes of the Star Alliance, it is only a matter of time to eliminate the last resistance of mankind. These heretics will be their first gift to the great father.
However, this blind confidence gradually deviated as the battle progressed.
After advancing to a certain distance, the Covenant found that no matter how hard they attacked, they could not advance any further.
What made them feel even more incredible was that the coalition forces actually dared to divide their forces to encircle their fleet that had penetrated deep into their territory. This extremely attention-grabbing style of play seemed so incredible.
Just when the Covenant thought the commander of the human side had gone crazy, behind the coalition position and right under their noses, a huge uninhabited planet was erected with densely packed huge facilities.
These facilities are a bit like the planetary engines on the wandering Earth, but they are much larger and do not spew out blue energy. They are more like huge turrets.
For a cannon of this size, the energy released by each shot is enough to destroy a Titan ship, and there are at least hundreds of such cannons on this planet.
If this thing were to break into the Covenant fleet, the scene would be so beautiful that it would be unimaginable.
After making sure that all the huge cannons had been fully charged, the coalition forces, which had been engaged in a fight with the Covenant fleet, deliberately exposed a flaw and began to retreat backwards.
Seeing that the position that had been difficult to capture for a long time was finally about to be taken, the Star Alliance also accelerated the pace of attack. Without the advantage of the field, the coalition forces, which were already at a disadvantage, would become fish on the chopping board and be at the mercy of others.
The retreating coalition forces kept a distance from the Covenant fleet and engaged in a fight.
Finally, in an unfamiliar star field, the coalition fleet that had originally turned around and fled suddenly turned around and fought with the Covenant pursuers.
This abnormal behavior immediately attracted the attention of the top leaders of the Star Alliance. Everyone still had a basic judgment of the situation on the battlefield. It was obvious that the human side was not at the end of its rope. There must be something fishy about such an obvious turn around and fight to the death.
In order to avoid being ambushed by humans for no apparent reason, the commander of the Star Alliance cautiously chose not to engage in a fight with the coalition fleet and instead went to the nearby space to observe the situation.
It would not have mattered if I had not observed it, but once I did, I found that another fleet had appeared behind me at some point, and the detector could not clearly see that there was another fleet heading towards the location where I was just now.
The Covenant fleet, having discovered the human ambush, immediately chose another route and prepared to join forces with the Covenant fleets in other directions to launch a counter-encirclement of the human fleet. Then they were surprised to find themselves trapped in a new encirclement.
This kind of nesting doll-like thousand-layer routine directly explains to the outside world what it means that tactics will never go out of style.
Before the Dreadnought could react, an exaggerated starlight suddenly lit up in the star region where they were.
Hundreds of giant ion cannon beams that penetrated the sky and earth shot straight towards the Covenant fleet led by the Dreadnought.
Under the horrified gaze of several prophets, they saw the source of the light beam, which was an uninhabited planet. They also saw the row of huge cannons erected on the surface of the planet.
After launching this attack, the huge energy generated by hundreds of cannons directly caused the supporting planet to collapse. The shattered planetary fragments showed them how exaggerated the attack launched before was.
If hit by this level of radiation at close range, even the Covenant's proud Dreadnought would be scattered and disintegrated in the barrage of artillery fire.
It was only at this point that the members of the Star Alliance realized why the previous human coalition had been so strange.
From the very beginning, their purpose was very clear, which was to attract the attention of the Star Alliance so that they could not detect the backup plan buried here, and even mislead them through psychology to ignore the real encirclement. The range of this jump was selected by themselves.
All of this was a setup, the purpose of which was to inflict heavy damage on the Covenant fleet through this one-time high-intensity firepower!
It has to be said that this plan was quite successful. The giant ion cannon modified from the planetary engine showed its due power.
The recoil of activating the giant cannon alone directly destroyed the planet that served as their foundation, so how powerful would the energy that was officially released be?
The outer part of the Covenant fleet, which was in a state of panic, melted away immediately after touching any of the beams. This exaggerated power could directly ensure that even the Dreadnought would be scrapped instantly if it was hit by a few shots.
And everything went as planned, these giant plasma cannons all targeted the HMS Dreadnought, the Covenant's capital battleship.
Having just completed a jump, the Dreadnought could not effectively avoid this long-planned attack. In desperation, the three prophets could only let the surrounding fleets act as human shields in front of the Dreadnought, using their interconnected energy shields and high hull value to block this fatal blow for the Dreadnought.
This includes a super aircraft carrier, Star Infinity, and numerous fleets of the Star Alliance.
"Surround them quickly! We can't let them get away!"
The prey has been caught, and Zheng Gan naturally cannot let them escape so easily. After being hit by such a shot, the Star Alliance fleet will suffer heavy casualties and will certainly be seriously damaged.
If we don't take the opportunity to kick a drowning man now, do we have to wait until he regroups his forces?
Before the Alliance's support fleet arrived, these were all naked military exploits!
