Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 985: Enemy Fleet

TL: GoldenLung

Beside it, there were about a dozen warships of different sizes, with the smallest being the size of a meteor-class reconnaissance vessel, and the largest being three hundred meters in length.

These dozen warships formed a unit and flew together. Beside them were another type of warship, which were roughly the same size, around 150 meters in length, with a wide, flat front end like a hammerhead and honeycomb-shaped exhaust ports on top. The rear was narrow, with engines arranged on both sides of the waist.

In the center of the enemy fleet, there were two types of warships that were the most numerous, with both exceeding two hundred vessels. One type was silver-white throughout, shaped like a shuttle, and relatively closer in appearance to a human warship, resembling a War God-class warship, but smaller in size by a third. They were also of varying sizes, but overall their shapes were similar.

Another type of warship was presented in a fan shape, with the curved side facing forward and all propulsion systems on the back flat surface. What could be seen was the curved side, which surprisingly had a sharp feeling and emitted a light similar to a blade.

Similarly, there were ships of varying sizes, with the largest one being over two hundred meters wide and exuding a somewhat fierce feeling.

Opposite them were fleets of various sizes, totaling over a thousand ships. In terms of quantity, they far surpassed the Seventh Fleet. However, as Yan Xinghe had said, this was a ragtag army. There were more than ten types of warships, clearly not under the same direction, each with their own area.

Despite this, the fleet, with such a massive number of ships, still looked like it covered the sky and the earth from afar, in a semi-encirclement towards the direction of the Seventh Fleet.

Yan Xinghe's expression was not the least bit serious. He said to Lan Xuanyu, "Did you see that? They are fighting with quantity rather than quality. In terms of combat power, their warships are far inferior, but the Dragon Horse Galaxy is rich in resources and they can build warships quickly. However, their combat power has never been able to reach the same level as us. But compared to the last time we confronted them, their numbers have increased. The longer the war lasts, the more it becomes a battle of attrition. That's why I have always believed that the earlier the war against the Dragon Horse Galaxy starts, the better."

The fleets of both sides came to a standstill in the sky, facing each other, without launching an assault at the first moment. The huge flagship of the Seventh Fleet emitted a faint halo, and a faint blue light condensed on its surface. It was clear to see that countless huge gun barrels opened up, and for a moment, it was even impossible to count how many gun barrels were on the flagship.

All federal warships had their weapon systems and protective shields fully activated. The leading mothership and four Dragon King-class escort ships were arranged horizontally, followed by the warships.

As Lan Xuanyu watched the densely packed enemy ships ahead, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. It was his first time facing such a large-scale interstellar war! In the face of such a massive space battle, individual strength seemed so insignificant.

He was now like a staff officer, following closely beside Yan Xinghe and listening to his analysis and explanation of the battlefield.

In this scale of space warfare, the most important thing was firepower. Large-scale space battles usually took place in open terrain, especially for the stronger side, which would choose this way. If it were complex terrain such as an asteroid belt, the opponent might have a chance, but in open terrain, the two sides were almost competing in firepower. At least that was the case at the beginning of the collision. In the face of powerful firepower, all techniques were in vain. It was all about whose energy intensity was stronger and whose weapons were more advanced.

"If complex terrain appeared, the first thing to do would be to clear the terrain, even if a small asteroid blocked the way, it must be destroyed first."

Yan Xinghe spoke calmly, but from his words, one could hear how confident he was in the strength of the space fleet.

“Currently, based on the comparison of the fleets, the total strength of the Dragon Horse Galaxy's space fleet was roughly equal to the combined strength of three Federation fleets. They also had to divide their defenses. The reason why the Federation had not launched a full-scale attack was because they were afraid of a sneak attack by the top-level experts from the Dragon Horse Galaxy, whose destructive power was too strong. If they penetrated an administrative planet, even a single person had the potential to destroy it single handedly. Even if our warships could kill them, it would almost come at the cost of the planet. This is something we cannot afford. Therefore, up to now, we have never really launched a full-scale attack on the Dragon Horse Galaxy. The Dragon Horse Galaxy also knows this. If their top experts attacked our planet, our mother ships' firepower would definitely rain down on their main planet. It was equivalent to both sides having their own ace in the hole, and neither dared to overturn the other easily.

Within the Federation, including your Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, as well as the War God Temple and Spirit Pagoda, all concentrated various resources hoping to cultivate Super God-level experts. However, reaching that level was too difficult. Even our mother planet seemed to lack the energy level required, and thus no Super God-level experts have been born. If we could have a few Super God-level experts to suppress the top experts of the Dragon Horse Galaxy, we would have launched a full-scale attack on them long ago."

As he listened to the captain's words, Lan Xuanyu sensed that he was hinting at something. He understood that the captain probably already knew about Uncle Lei's breakthrough to the Super God-level. After all, it happened right under the Seventh Fleet's nose.

"It's about to begin. Believe it or not, the other side won't confront us head-on. They'll just make some gestures and retreat, harassing us and dragging out our attack time," Yan Xinghe said with a smile.

Lan Xuanyu nodded slightly, "Is it because they can't withstand our firepower head-on?"

"That's right, they cannot. Even if we only had one fleet, we can't win against so many warships in a head-on fight. But they can't break through our defense, and we can hold on until reinforcements arrive. And our firepower can shred their defenses and constantly whittle down their numbers."

"All fleets, prepare." The red lights turned on, and the entire command module turned red.

Yan Xinghe didn't give any orders, but instead turned to Lan Xuanyu and said, "All fleets operate together, and all commands are unified by the command center. Until we give the order for free operation, all warships above the level of warships act together. The red light indicates that the flagship has taken control of our warships."

Lan Xuanyu suddenly realized that it was no wonder he had seen it in a video before: when the massive fleet launched a full-scale attack in Star Wars, the firepower was so unified, it turned out to be the result of the mother ship's simultaneous control.

"Captain, is this kind of control easy to be stolen by the enemy?" Lan Xuanyu asked.

Yan Xinghe smiled and said, "No, at least not with the current known technology in the universe. Because remote control of other warships requires not only electronic waves but also memory through biological waves. The two are combined. Simply put, it is the combination of divine consciousness and electronic waves to control. On the mother ship's side, if they want to control us on this side, first they need our electronic password, which is constantly changing. Secondly, they need a god-rank powerhouse as a bridge using divine consciousness, combining electronic waves and divine consciousness through special conductive devices for unique communication. Moreover, when conducting internal communication and control, our protective shield is fully activated, shielding all external electronic waves. Therefore, it is completely impossible to steal our control."

Lan Xuanyu nodded slightly.

Just then, Yan Xinghe's gaze turned towards the large screen, and he said in a deep voice, "It's starting."

As expected, aDragon-class escort suddenly shook, and then Lan Xuanyu saw that the porthole became covered by a burst of light. For a moment, the space outside the porthole was completely obscured by the light, leaving only a radiance flooding in.
