The Tianyi Mercenary Group only accepts commissions from the United Army and is responsible for transportation and logistics protection. They basically do not accept combat commissions from the Dion Imperial Army.

While escorting resources, the Tianyi Mercenary Group's fleet will send an advance force to conduct long-range reconnaissance.

Moreover, the war correspondents who were following the scene once discovered that when the advance troops of the Tianyi Mercenary Group discovered the battleship fleet of the Dion Imperial Army, they would immediately enter level one combat readiness.

The advance troops also took out some unprecedented weapons in preparation for battle.

The Dion Imperial Army seemed to be a little hesitant and did not dare to take action.

The troops escorting the resources went to the destination to deliver the goods under the cover of the advance troops.

This situation has occurred several times, and many people analyzed that perhaps this was because the Dion Empire had some concerns about the Tianyi Mercenary Group.

The Tianyi Mercenary Group was unwilling to accept the United Army's commission to fight against the Dion Imperial Army, probably because of the same concerns.

Some reporters also discovered that when the Tianyi Mercenary Group was conducting a simulated battle between the Red Army and the Blue Army, they found that their Blue Army was using the Dion Imperial Army as its imaginary enemy.

It seems that the Tianyi Mercenary Group wants to be prepared for future battlefields.

Then, the intelligence departments of several superpowers discovered that the Tianyi Mercenary Group had developed a giant battleship similar to the Dion Imperial Army.

The electromagnetic accelerator cannon of the shield-breaking destroyer can attack targets with complete accuracy at a distance of 900 kilometers. Even if the target is protected by an energy shield, it can still be penetrated with one shot.

Then the shield-breaking destroyer also has a more advanced energy weapon, the plasma cannon. The tested plasma cannon can easily burn through the most advanced and most defensive A-class composite titanium steel alloy armor of the current warship.

This scene shocked the authorities of several superpowers.

Afterwards, the intelligence department received information that the Skywing Mercenary Group was developing several giant battleships and that their current La Kairam and Archangel had been redesigned, improved and increased in size.

Moreover, the media also discovered that the elite special forces of the Tianyi Mercenary Group have been replaced with a new type of Ms.

Jegan and Murasame continue to serve in the regular troops.

The leaders of the authorities of various countries estimated that once the Tianyi Mercenary Group was able to use the newly developed weapons with ease, the Tianyi Mercenary Group would definitely join the war.

In July of the 122nd year of the Universe Year, a brigade-level transport fleet, escorted by a brigade-level fleet of Skywing mercenaries, headed for the 42nd colonial satellite of the Anrusa Democratic Republic.

As the war progressed, Colony Satellite No. 42 had become one of the front lines of the battlefield.

Another regimental-level fleet of the Skywing mercenary vanguard, while conducting reconnaissance in the distance, discovered a fleet of the Dion Imperial Army with the size of a regimental-level fleet.

The advance troops immediately notified the escort troops in the rear and were ready to fight at any time.

The advance troops are also ready for all combat operations.

The two fleets were about 1,000 kilometers apart.

The Dion Empire Fleet did not stay in place and monitor the advance troops as usual, but instead rushed directly towards the advance troops.

The advance troops immediately notified the escort troops in the rear to be on alert and prepare for battle.

The Dion Empire's fleet did not have rocket battleships, so it could only rush within the effective range.

The Dion Imperial Army fleet launched beam cannon attacks at the advance troops.

The advance troops also launch a wave of missiles before the enemy launches an attack.

The moment the beam cannon hit the missile, the beam exploded like a water ball and scattered around, turning into a beam with no lethality.

The dense anti-beam particles prevented the Dion Imperial Army fleet from firing energy weapons at the target.

The advance force then launched another wave of missile attacks to retaliate.

The Dion Imperial Army fleet decided to launch a missile beam, but the prerequisite was that they had to reach the range. First, they activated the anti-missile system and used energy weapons to shoot down the missile group that passed through the anti-beam particles.

The missiles launched by the advance Tianyi mercenary fleet are a newly developed mobile drill missile, which can automatically float or move during the flight, changing the position of the flight trajectory, allowing those anti-missile energy weapon systems to reduce the locking rate.

The mobile drill missile is not a guided missile, but a relatively low-end AI chip control. After the target command is issued, it will lock the attack target, use its own maneuverability to dodge all attacks, and change the flight trajectory at its own discretion.

The Dion Imperial Army immediately activated the anti-missile energy system, determined to shoot down all the mobile drill missile groups.

The mobile drill missile has been floating and moving during the flight, which greatly reduces the hit rate of the anti-missile energy system.

Although the hit rate of the defense energy system was reduced, it still shot down 40% of the nearly 1,000 mobile drill missiles at a distance of about 300 kilometers.

At a distance of about 200 kilometers, more than half of the remaining 600 mobile drill missiles were shot down.

At a distance of about 100 kilometers, there were 150 mobile drill missiles left. The warhead and the body of the missile were separated. The warhead, shaped like a spiral drill bit, rotated at a very high speed, rushing towards the target group at a speed of more than Mach 30.

This extremely fast speed temporarily reduced the hit rate of the anti-missile energy system. At a distance of 50 kilometers, there were still 120 mobile drill missiles attacking the Dion Imperial Army fleet.

All the warships of the Dion Empire immediately activated their energy shield systems when they were less than 30 kilometers away from the missiles.

On average, four mobile drill missiles attack one target warship.

The four mobile drill missiles just pushed the threshold of the energy shield system beyond its endurance, causing the energy shield to collapse directly.

To restore the energy shield to normal, it must be charged for ten minutes before it can be turned on again.

Shortly after the advance troops launched the first wave of mobile drill missiles, they immediately launched the second wave of mobile drill missiles.

The results obtained from the first wave of mobile drill missile swarms were similar to those obtained in countless simulated battles, so the second wave of mobile drill missile swarms was launched, and the number of mobile drill missile swarms in the second wave was nearly twice that of the first wave.

The commander of the Dion Imperial Army fleet looked at the second wave of mobile drill missiles attacking them, but the target fleet had not yet entered the effective range of the beam missiles.

The commander immediately dispatched the Ms troops to shoot down the missiles together with the battleship group.

Although the Ms troops helped improve the defense capabilities this time, the second wave of missiles was more than the first wave.

Still, more than a dozen mobile drill missiles broke through the defense line and hit several giant frigates.

Although the mobile drill missile could not completely penetrate the target warship, it still caused great damage to the giant frigate.

What's more, a giant frigate was severely damaged, and the entire warship was paralyzed, so it could basically be abandoned.
