The situation in the Tiancang Five Star System is different from other star systems; there is still a large amount of debris disk, countless small celestial bodies flying in the debris disk. As such, planets here frequently experience asteroid impacts, preventing the emergence of life. After the Blue Star Civilization occupied this area, they began cleaning the star system’s debris disk and developing several planets here. "We need to exit warp travel to avoid crashing into small celestial bodies." The shipborne system requested a change in navigation mode. Warp travel involves a warp bubble that distorts space, which is also affected by obstacles in the space ahead. Advanced warships have subspace detectors capable of vaporizing obstacles with warp weapons in advance, but their ships did not have this capability. "Engage sub-light speed flight mode," Dong Zhen said. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs Novᴇl_Fire(.)net Once the ship exited warp travel, it was exposed to the vacuum. A few days later, reconnaissance satellites of Tiancang Five detected them. "Warning, unidentified fleet detected!" When the commander Xue Lei of the Tiancang Five Star System received the warning, the opponents were already very close; within a week, they could reach the planet being developed. "They have warp speed battleships!" The reconnaissance satellites had already gathered some intelligence. "Having warp speed battleships, they couldn’t possibly be unaware of our development here!" Xue Lei analyzed, "Most likely, they are enemies, perhaps a fleet from the Maoshi Star Union." "Since they dare to launch an attack, they must be confident. Recall all ships in the Tiancang Five region, communicate with the opponents first, and send a reconnaissance ship to probe them." "Understood!" Within the Tiancang Five Star System, whether warships, mining ships, or engineering ships, all operations were temporarily suspended, heading to the Tiancang Five outpost. Their reconnaissance satellites attempted to contact the opponents, who did not refuse. "This is the Tiancang Five Star System, one of the star systems under the jurisdiction of the Blue Star Civilization. You have entered without permission, please leave immediately, or we will take necessary action!" Xue Lei warned the opponents. Dong Zhen laughed, "Then go ahead and take action!" A commander from the Sirius Civilization scolded, "Our Sky Wolf civilization explored Tiancang Five hundreds of years ago, each planet here has our reconnaissance stations. This should be our territory!" In the universe, when seizing territory, there is no such thing as first-come, first-served; the stronger the power, the rightful owner. So Xue Lei did not argue with them, saying, "We do not wish to engage in war with you, please consider carefully." "We’ve thought it through, have you? Decide whether to surrender or die in battle?" Dong Zhen mocked. Their strength was immense, so they spoke without reservation. With the conversation reaching this point, it seemed that fighting was inevitable to resolve the issue. Xue Lei first reported the intelligence to the Blue Star Alliance Command Headquarters, then assembled forces to attack the opponents. Tiancang Five had two warp speed warships and several sub-light speed warships. In the debris disk of Tiancang Five, it was difficult for warships to travel at warp speed, so sub-light speed warships could perform nearly as effectively as warp speed warships. Two sub-light speed warships launched the first attack, hiding behind a dwarf planet, conducting beyond-visual-range strikes. They both fired antimatter cannons, with the core of the shells loaded with a certain mass of antimatter. Upon contact with a target, the antimatter magnetic trap would automatically destroy, releasing energy thousands, even tens of thousands, times more powerful than a hydrogen bomb! As expected, the two antimatter shells were intercepted by the opponent’s weapon interception system and destroyed in the vacuum before approaching the target. "Continue advancing!" Such attacks were ineffectual, and the Maoshi Star Union fleet continued advancing at high speed. "The enemy has entered the attack range!" The planets of Tiancang Five had all come within their attack range. The reconnaissance ships could see various structures built on these planets and in outer space near the planets. Such as planetary mines, space ports, space cities, and the like. "Destroy all targets!" Dong Zhen showed no mercy, launching a large number of antimatter shells from their warp speed warships to attack the targets. The Blue Star Civilization’s warships were also intercepting; once they began intercepting, they’d expose their positions. A sub-light speed warship came into Dong Zhen’s view. "Destroy it! Let them witness the power of the Maoshi Star Union!" Dong Zheng gritted his teeth. The main gun from his command ship rapidly deployed, targeting the sub-light speed warship. "Warning, we have entered the enemy’s attack range!" The human commander on the sub-light speed warship also realized the looming crisis. "Maximize the energy shield!" Around the warship, the energy shield was activated to its maximum. The enemy’s attack followed, an "invisible" beam, converging countless antimatter together, forming a ray-like strike. It was what He Xingzhou named the Destruction Death Light, unlike the Blue Star Civilization warship’s Destruction Death Light, its attack range and antimatter mass were hundreds of times greater! In terms of weapon principles, it was not more advanced than the Blue Star Civilization’s antimatter weapons. But it was just stronger! This warp speed warship was of a higher grade, capable of controlling more antimatter, powerful and straightforward! In front of this enhanced Destruction Death Light, the energy shield of the sub-light speed warship was pierced instantly, the ship body armor, and the warship itself, were annihilated by antimatter. The captain and crew inside didn’t even have a chance to become space dust; with matter-antimatter annihilation, everything returned to nothingness! This was a brutal death without even remnants or ashes remaining!
