Chapter 1287 Meteor Airborne, Assault Landing Battle (1)

October 1390, 3 of the Starry Era.

This will be a day that goes down in history.

After several jumps, the fleet of the Xuanshui Federation arrived at the edge of the star system. Going further, that is the star gate they once lost.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of Operation Meteor, the Xuanshui Federation drew out 5 fleets, totaling nearly 4000 combat ships of various types, not counting the transport and supply ships in the rear.

And this is just the strength that is displayed on the surface.

Since the beginning of the war, the Xuanshui Federation has been on the defensive, and its 22 fleets have not been effectively mobilized. For a long time, these fleets have been scattered across the vast star territory of the Xuanshui Federation, fighting with the fleets of the Red Maple Republic.

Now, fleets in other directions deliberately gave up unimportant star systems, freeing up their hands to advance towards the star system where the star gate is located from all directions.

If the Red Maple Republic's fleet that seized the star gate was like a dagger stuck in the chest of the Whirlwater Federation, then now, the Whirlwater Federation's fleet was like a hand, grabbing the blade and trying to pull the dagger out.

Retaking the Star Gate does not mean winning the war, but it does mean that the Xuanshui Federation has completely turned from defense to offense. It can be expected that this will be an extremely important turning point in the war.

The Red Maple Republic is of course aware of the importance of this. The existence of the star gate is like a bulge that can lead directly to the capital of the Whirlpool Federation.

As mentioned before, the movement of the large fleet cannot be hidden. The Xuanshui Federation launched the Meteor Operation Plan, and the Red Maple Republic also sent a large number of reinforcements to the star gate.

The Swan now followed the fleet to the edge of the star system. At this distance, the star gate was just a pixel and could not be seen at all.

The only thing that could be seen was the habitable planet that the Swan had previously visited and returned to.

Its official name is Standum, which means "a place like home". It was named so because it has a large ocean area and is very similar to the capital planet of the Swirling Water Federation.

Likewise, this is the goal of the Swan.

At this moment, a crackling sound was heard in the bridge, followed by the fleet commander's voice:
"Everyone, I believe you are aware of the importance of this battle, and also the difficulty of this battle, but I want to say that there is nothing in this world that we cannot solve."

The commander's voice echoed throughout all the ships of the fleet:

"The invaders from the Red Maple Republic destroyed our homeland. We were almost defeated at one point, but we stood up. We will fight back, drive the invaders out, and make them pay the price!"

Although sound cannot be transmitted in the void, at that moment it seemed as if the entire fleet could be heard roaring.

"This battle is not the end, it's just the beginning. Don't fight with the mentality of a martyr. I, we need you to step on the land of the Red Maple Republic together. Let's meet at the celebration banquet after the war. I declare that Operation Meteor has officially begun!"

Almost as soon as the words fell, a huge fleet consisting of nearly 4000 warships began to move, and the Swan was no exception.

"Received the route map and is adjusting the ship's attitude."

"The reactor is operating normally and the system self-check is complete."

"Energy transfer complete, the entire ship enters level one combat status, everyone take their positions."

Alyssa stared at the cosmic background in front of the bridge and gave an order:

"Prepare for pulse flight!"

"Understood. Pulse flight will start in fifteen seconds."

For such a large fleet to take action, the requirements for command and coordination are very, very high. Each ship will receive a route map when it starts to move, and each warship will start to move according to this route map. When the countdown ended, the Swan, which was sailing normally, suddenly straightened up. The huge acceleration made everyone pressed firmly on the backrest. The starlight seen from the bridge began to shift, like a distorted line.

"The pulse flight has ended and we have entered the designated star field."

At this time, Swan broke away from the pulse flight and was no longer at the edge of the star system.

Looking forward, you can see the planet called Standum more clearly, and even the star gate farther away. If you use optical observation equipment, you can also see some clues.

But more conspicuous than these is the engine light.

In the direction of the star gate, the densely packed engine lights looked like someone had sprinkled a handful of sesame seeds on the glass. You had no way of counting how many there were. The density of the engine lights even overshadowed the starlight farther away, like a terrifying galaxy, stretching before everyone's eyes.

It was pure, mortal violence. Mortals' most advanced technology, greatest creations, and most cunning wisdom were all serving to destroy each other.

"Engine lights confirmed, radar tracking maintained, not yet within firing range."

"No high-threat targets were found."

"Friendly combat code received, identification friend or foe signal is good."

Everyone in the bridge was very nervous. In fact, it was not just the bridge, everyone on the Swan was picking their feet nervously.

Alyssa was of course no exception. As a recycler, she had experienced countless ship battles since she was a child, but she had never had experience in such a large-scale fleet battle.

Facing the dense array of engine lights, Alyssa felt an indescribable shudder in her heart. It was no exaggeration to say that the Swan was more fragile than a baby in swaddling clothes and could be killed more easily. On a battlefield of this scale, the power of an individual was extremely small.

She held her trembling left hand with her right hand and took a deep breath:

"Cooperate with friendly forces, sail according to the direction indicated by the route map, and cruise at speed!"

"Understood, cruising speed."

The Swan was not leading the way, there were still many friendly forces around. Thinking of this, Alyssa felt a little relieved.

After all, humans are animals that like to live in groups, and they feel safer when there are many people around.

If you zoom out and look at the star map, the Swan and its friendly forces are like a hand separating from the fleet, bypassing the front of the battlefield.

This is a very standard method of using cruisers and mobile carriers, relying on mobility for flanking harassment.

There seemed to be nothing new in tactics. The main fleet also stopped pulse flight at the same time, adjusted its formation, and adopted an artillery array.

The Red Maple Republic's intercepting fleet was similarly adjusting its formation. The two sides continued to approach each other until they were within firing range, and then they really started fighting.

Although the planet called Standum is right in front of us, visual observation in the void is the least accurate data. In fact, the distance is still very far, and it is far from the level where we can start orbital landing.

The reason...

"The radar signal confirms that the enemy patrol fleet has broken away from pulse flight and is about to enter the visual range of our fleet."

That's because someone will come and stop you.
