"General, those trains are coming."
On the high tower of Star Port No. 2, the personal guards were trembling with fear and couldn't help but remind Beto who was still in high spirits.
Beto pushed the beauty away, stood up and walked to the temporary control console, from where he could see the entire battlefield, making it easier for him to command the overall situation.
"185 trains, six of which are of the highest order. How can we defend against them?"
Beto knew from the beginning that this place could not be defended, but the emperor's order was to hold on to the death, so he had to actively deploy defenses and use all means.
In order to increase cannon fodder, he even hollowed out the planet of Levi and recruited all men, women, and children into the army.
As for the money promised by the emperor, he simply put it into his pocket.
The guard whispered, "The escape fleet is always waiting. We can leave at any time."
Beto's face turned stern. "Don't disrupt the morale of the troops. This general swears to live and die with the defense line."
He then lowered his head and whispered, "Prepare the substitute and replace him at any time."
"Don't worry, General. Everything is fine."
Beto was very satisfied. He looked up at the images sent back to the front line. The train was only 20 million kilometers away from the defense line.
"Your Majesty's orders are that the train must not be damaged. This means the soldiers will be used as cannon fodder. How heartless! Pass on my orders. Open fire when the train is a million kilometers from the defense line."
Three major star ports, ten major fortresses, and forty million troops forming thousands of fleets are all the forces on the defense line.
This force can traverse the starry sky, but it is somewhat powerless when facing a train.
When the front train came into range, the entire defense line outside the system opened fire simultaneously.
In an instant, a large number of laser beams pierced the dark and silent starry sky, forming a light curtain that covered the train.
The vehicles in the front row were all four-star vehicles, and they immediately activated their electromagnetic shields to block the oncoming light curtain.
These lasers do not cause any harm to the train except affecting its speed.
“Fight back!”
More powerful laser beams were shot back densely, destroying the warships on the defense line one by one.
Battleships don't have the same defenses as trains, and can be destroyed with just one shot.
As the front row withstood the pressure, the train at the rear unfolded its light wings on both sides, and more lasers launched indiscriminate attacks on the defense line. In just one minute, the defense line was riddled with holes, and countless people were killed and injured.
On top of the tower, Beto no longer had the relaxed expression he had before.
He knew the train was strong, but he didn't expect it to be this strong.
"Ordinary weapons are ineffective against trains. It seems only the Spiral Supernatural Cannon is useful. Pass my order, all fortresses, move forward, activate the Supernatural Cannon, and intercept the train's charge."
Judging from the current situation, the train will break through the defense line and there is no way to stop it.
During the time he issued the order, the outer line of defense had completely collapsed.
"General, we don't have time to activate the Spiral Super Cannon." The front-line general raised the question.
Beto: “There’s time.”
He ordered an all-out attack, and countless warships launched suicide attacks on the train from all directions, which indeed slowed down the train's speed.
…
In the star network, the train conductors were puzzled by the enemy's actions.
"What do they want to do? Send themselves to die in vain?"
"Although the bugs are small, they are annoying."
"There are tens of thousands of warships charging at us. Even though we don't care, we still have to destroy them."
"Perhaps this is the Empire's method, forcibly using the lives of its soldiers to consume us. But the problem is, our energy can be replenished at any time, so we are not afraid of consumption at all."
A train conductor laughed and said, "Is it to prevent our weapons from overheating?"
It was just a joke, but it hit the point.
Chen An said: "This possibility is very high. The laser cannon cannot fire continuously and will overheat. We should be careful and space out the fire as much as possible to maintain maximum lethality."
Tiejian: "It doesn't matter if the train's firepower is all on cooldown. I can smash it into pieces even if I just ram it with the train."
The train conductors continued to watch the battlefield scenes. The densely packed warships were like an ant colony, being destroyed layer by layer under the lasers without causing much waves.
Some people find it funny, while others find it sad.
Life is sometimes so powerless and insignificant in war.
Chen An drank half a cup of tea and on a whim asked Luo Yu to make a prediction.
"The prophecy involves a train, and the duration is half an hour."
Luo Yu immediately began to predict and gave the result half a minute later.
"In twelve minutes, a supernatural beam of light will be coming. We will activate the full-power electromagnetic shield to resist it."
"Thirty minutes later, the train broke through the defenses and completely destroyed the fortress."
"Fifty minutes later, the train destroyed the starport. Our train is collecting resources near the wreckage of the starport."
Chen An was quite satisfied: "The results seem to be going smoothly, but where did the extraordinary light column come from?"
"I don't know. It was shot from those fortresses."
Chen An’s first reaction was to make the information public on the Star Domain Network, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
The purpose of this war is to test the firepower of the empire, so there is no need to stop it in advance.
Because if he made the information public, the train would definitely attack the fortress in advance.
"It can force us to activate the full-power electromagnetic shield, which means it is at least a level three supernatural cannon."
Chen An opened the war map and checked the location of his people.
Fortunately, the position is not very forward, so it will not be hit immediately.
In the next ten minutes or so, the imperial warships rushed forward fearlessly and did not retreat.
Fei Yi was puzzled: "Knowing that they would die, why did they still dare to charge?"
Chen An operated the screen with both hands to bring up the interior image of the warship.
You can see that the soldiers inside have red eyes and are in a state of extreme excitement.
"According to Fuyao's analysis, these soldiers have taken some kind of psychotropic drug in advance. They are not afraid of death and will perfectly execute the commander's orders."
Fei Yi exclaimed: "This is too terrifying."
As he spoke, Fuyao gave a reminder.
[A sudden increase in super-energy fluctuations has been detected. It is recommended to activate the electromagnetic shield.]
"Turn it on! Full power!"
The images kept scrolling on the screen and finally froze.
The screen showed ten beams of light shooting out from the fortress, each directed towards the ten trains in front.
Although the light beam was fast, the train conductor was able to react because there was enough distance.
Layer upon layer of shields were opened, showing enough respect to the extraordinary beam of light.
[The train is about to be struck, the light beam energy is approximately equal to level three]
Two seconds after the reminder ended, the beam of light hit the side of the train.
Fortunately, thanks to the electromagnetic shield, the train only experienced some large vibrations, and there were no other problems.
The other nine trains were also hit. The four-star trains were fine, but the three-star trains had their defenses broken because their shield levels were too low, and they had to retreat temporarily.
Chen An became alert.
"Using weapons equivalent to third-level cannons here shows that the Empire has even more powerful cards. This war is not as simple as imagined."
He entered the star domain network, which was very lively.
"Level 3 cannon? The Empire can actually manufacture level 3 cannons?"
"If there's a level three, there's a level four. Why don't we just run away?"
The Samsung train conductor was scared.
