The JF-17 fleet, which was originally sailing at a constant speed, suddenly slowed down and eventually came to a stop.

They formed a triangular defensive position at their location!

"Report: The entire Xiaolong Legion fleet has ceased navigation and is stationed in place," the adjutant reported to Qin Longcheng.

Qin Longcheng squinted at the interstellar sand table: "Have any of the Xiaolong Legion's interstellar warships entered our attack range?"

“Only a small fraction of the forward-deployed interstellar warships have entered our attack range,” the adjutant said.

Qin Longcheng saw through the Xiaolong Legion's plan and sneered, "The Xiaolong Lord is trying to use someone else to do his dirty work."

But this knife is a double-edged sword, so isn't he afraid of hurting himself?

"Pass on my order: all interstellar warships shall remain in place and await further orders!"

"yes!"

"Show me footage taken by a deep-space telescope."

"yes."

Images captured by deep-space telescopes from multiple locations were presented to Qin Longcheng.

You can see the deployment of the JF-17 Legion, and even the 'black clouds' that are faintly visible behind the JF-17 Legion fleet.

That's right!

It was just a 'dark cloud'.

The Xiaolong Legion fleet was like a small boat on a giant wave, and the black wave was about to crash heavily onto the small boat.

Tick-tock

Tick-tock

Time passed little by little.

Soon, the vanguard of this black giant wave 'crashed' into the small boat of the Dragon Legion fleet.

Qin Longcheng could see through the video footage that the Xiaolong Legion's position was being overwhelmed by tens of millions of mutated insectoids, until this small boat was gradually submerged under the black giant waves.

At this moment, apart from swarms of mutated insectoids, nothing else can be seen in the video footage.

Qin Longcheng immediately shut down the video feeds and looked at the radar screen next to him.

The video doesn't show the situation of the surrounded JF-17 Thunder Legion, but radar footage does.

As you can see in the radar image, there are three colors of cursors.

One is black.

This represents the mutated insectoid race.

One color is red, representing the JF-17 Thunder Legion.

The last one is naturally blue, representing the fleet on Qinlong City's side.

At this moment, the small red dots form a triangular defensive position, which is surrounded by black, but this can be seen when zoomed in.

Although the red triangular defensive position was completely surrounded, it remained as solid as a rock, showing no signs of being breached.

"Did the Dragon Legion use interstellar missiles to intercept the mutated Zerg?" Qin Longcheng asked.

The adjutant shook his head: "Our monitoring department did not detect any energy fluctuations from the interstellar missile explosion."

Qin Longcheng frowned. He naturally did not believe that the Xiaolong Legion would be wiped out in the first wave of mutated insectoid attacks, but he originally thought that the Xiaolong Legion would rely on interstellar missiles to resist the mutated insectoids.

Unexpectedly, the JF-17 Legion has not used any interstellar missiles so far.

"Marshal, the mutated Zerg have begun to bypass the Dragon Legion and are attacking us!"

"We expect them to threaten our position within ten minutes!" the adjutant reported nervously.

"What's there to be afraid of! They're just a bunch of mutated insects."

This marshal can create them, and he can slaughter them.

"All interstellar warships, prepare for battle!" Qin Longcheng commanded.

But at that moment, the man on the other side, who was in the midst of the swarm, also gave an order with a smile on his face.

"Xiaolong First Legion, aim at the direction of Qinlong City and unleash full firepower!"

"Bai Xue, in 100 seconds, fire at the designated strike area we just set up!" Zhao Chen gave the order.

Wolf Girl Bai Xue was stunned as she looked at the dark mass of mutated insectoids attacking the defensive line.

With these mutated Zerg blocking her attack trajectory, her interstellar missiles will be significantly less effective.

The very next second, all the interstellar warships of the First Legion of the Falcon Dragon, which had been preparing for a long time, opened fire in unison in one direction.

At this point, it doesn't matter if it's a star frigate, star destroyer, star cruiser, or whatever kind of starship.

As long as their own ship's guns could reach them, they were all firing wildly right now.

Even the T4 Gorgon-class heavy interstellar gunship made an appearance, clearing attack routes for friendly forces with its dense barrage.

Finally, under the cover of fire from the First Legion of the JF-17 Thunder,

The wolf girl, Snow White, was surprised to find that the attack trajectory she had set had actually been cleared!

She could see the Qin Longcheng fleet opposite them, which was ready to engage the mutated insectoid race.

Bai Xue's lips curled up, revealing her wolf fangs.

One hundred seconds passed at that moment.

"Execute the attack order! All interstellar missiles, launch!"

Three hundred T3 Judgement-class heavy interplanetary missile ships and one T4 Hells Angel-class heavy interplanetary missile ship opened fire simultaneously.

An unparalleled scene unfolded before the commanders and soldiers of both fleets.

From Zhao Chen's perspective, he saw millions of interstellar missiles being launched like a meteor shower from the gap that the First Legion of the JF-17 had just torn open.

"It's truly spectacular," Zhao Chen remarked. This was the first time he had witnessed the JF-17 interstellar missile ship special forces fleet operating at full firepower.

Chu Xuan was also dumbfounded, muttering to herself, "If only our Chu family's army fleet had one too..."

Lilith, on the other hand, remained calm. She nudged Chu Xuan's shoulder with her own and said teasingly, "Isn't it pretty?"

Eighty-seven billion star coins per round—you too can have it.

"Cough cough cough..." Chu Xuan coughed violently. She had seen the launch scenes of these interstellar missile ships before, but she did not know the cost data behind them.

87 billion Star Coins?

My goodness.

This is equivalent to a month's worth of output in just a few minutes!

"Lilith, don't bring up sad things when you're happy," Zhao Chen chimed in from the side. His good mood had been instantly dampened by Lilith's words.

Lilith crossed her arms, looking every bit the wronged woman: "So far, Snow White's special forces fleet has used three rounds."

Two hundred and sixty billion Star Coins have already been consumed.

Also, I should remind you, Commander, that our stockpile of interstellar missiles is only enough for Snow White to have two more rounds of fun.

Zhao Chen smiled bitterly. So this is what it feels like to bleed.

It hurts.

On the other side, Qin Longcheng was also in pain, because he saw his frontline interstellar warships being covered by incoming interstellar missiles one by one.

Although he had prepared interstellar escort ship positions to intercept interstellar missiles, the enemy's interstellar missiles were simply too numerous!

An unimaginable number!

The simultaneous firing of millions of interstellar missiles was something that no one in Qinlong City, or even in the entire history of the Galactic Alliance, had ever used before.

There's no way to stop them!

This single round of interstellar missile bombardment caused heavy losses to Qin Longcheng's fleet. Most importantly, he clearly realized that danger was yet to come.

Those are the mutated Zerg!

The defensive line, which was originally intended to intercept and block the mutated Zerg, has been ruined and rendered useless due to the interstellar missile attack.

This allows those mutated insectoids to directly threaten Qinlong City's rear fleet!

The chaotic battle has officially begun!
