Chapter 1480: Crimson Galaxy Suppression Operation (7)

Currently, there is only one known way to close the crystal gap.

Send a fleet to blast away the crystalline life forms that keep pouring out, and use the torpedo tubes on the battleships to launch special closing devices.

Because the Crystal Gap is essentially a natural portal, it can be closed using the same principle as closing a portal.

This device emits special magical waves, like a stone thrown into a pond, making the portal unstable, after which it will naturally close.

The number of launch-closing devices varies depending on the size of the Crystal Gap.

This time, the Red Maple Republic was probably worried about bringing disaster upon itself. The scale of the Crystal Gap was not large, much smaller than the last time Alyssa encountered it, and it was relatively easy to close.

Under the command of Alyssa, the Fifth Fleet's cruiser formation did its best to cover friendly forces as they passed through the raging waves formed by purple-red crystals. The friendly forces did live up to expectations, and several cruisers fired several special "torpedoes" at the crystal gaps that were like giant eyes in deep space.

The Crystalline Gap, also known as a natural disaster, began to fluctuate about a minute after the torpedo was fired, and collapsed as it could no longer maintain its existence.

As long as they don't run out continuously, the participating crystalline life forms will be cleared out quickly, and they complete the clearing of the star field before the anti-aircraft guns overheat.

And what was cleared out was not just the crystalline life forms.

As mentioned before, the Xuanshui Federation has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength in the Crimson Galaxy. The four fleets combined have more than 3,000 warships while the Red Maple Republic has less than 2,000. The advantage is indeed in our hands.

After the Crystal Gap was closed, the main fleet dispatched about one hundred reinforcement ships to cooperate with the cruiser formation to encircle and suppress the planetary defense force.

The battle lasted for about forty minutes, and the planetary defense force's warships either turned around and fled or turned into space junk.

After all, although they are numerous, their quality is completely poor.

Afterwards, the more than one hundred warships returned to the main fleet and redeployed their troops.

The cruise ship continued to move towards the habitable planet, opening a path for the landing troops that were about to arrive.

"Flash confirmed, it's a high-energy anti-ship ion beam."

"Evasion navigation, they are already at the end of their strength."

The planetary defense fleet's warships were scattered in the previous battle and are now reorganizing in the synchronous orbit of the habitable planet, firing in an attempt to prevent the cruiser formation from approaching.

Their numbers have been greatly reduced, and they are rebuilding their lines here because the spaceport on the habitable planet has high-energy anti-ship ion beams that are much more powerful than those of cruise ships.

Its power was not as strong as that of a fortress gun, but a single hit would be enough to destroy a cruiser.

When the Swan was being chased by the Red Maple Republic in the sky above Standumo, it was the spaceport that launched an anti-ship ion beam to rescue the Swan.

Now the situation has changed, and it is the Red Maple Republic that is jumping up and down, while the Swan has become the target of anti-ship ion beam attack.

The Swan led the fleet in a zigzag evasive sailing. During the process, three warships were hit, one of which was damaged and temporarily withdrew from the battle sequence, and two were directly destroyed.

After paying these costs, the cruise ship formation finally approached within the firing range.

The planetary defense force had few warships, and the sparse artillery and ion beams posed a low threat. The Swan led the cruiser formations of the third and fifth fleets, with a total of around three hundred ships.

There is no suspense at all. Even if we use a dog to command, we will not lose.

The Swan was the first to activate the Light Lance main gun. Thanks to Long's superb shooting skills, the main gun hit the high-power anti-ship ion beam above the spaceport with the second shot, successfully silencing it temporarily.

The rest of the friendly warships also opened fire, and the barrage of bullets was like a glowing rain, covering their heads.

The remaining warships were quickly exploded into space fireworks under the saturation attack. The spaceport activated the shield, trying to protect itself and the remaining warships, but it could only protect them for a while.

The volume of a spaceport is much smaller than that of a space station, and the shields and self-defense firepower that can be installed are much weaker. Its function is only to facilitate the exchange of materials between the earth and space.

"Signal the landing forces that they can move forward, and the others are ready to start maneuvering and clear all enemy forces in orbit." "Friendly forces seem to have not yet ceased fire, should we issue a cease-fire order?"

At this time, the spaceport had completely lost its ability to fight back and was just holding on with its shield turned on. When Villania asked the question, the shield could no longer withstand the firepower of more than 300 warships and had begun to collapse.

Alyssa glanced at the spaceport:

"No need, just let them fight."

The Xuanshui Federation, whether it is the military or civilians, have waited for this moment for too long.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Inside the Swan's cabin, the lights turned red and the ship's broadcast notified everyone to secure themselves as quickly as possible as the Swan was about to carry out a descending mission.

It was not necessary for the Swan to go down for this landing operation, but if the Swan went down to help, it could greatly relieve the pressure on the landing troops.

In the battle plan that Vice Admiral Ken gave to Alyssa, the descending part was left to Alyssa to judge on her own. If the situation in orbit was severe, the Swan would not descend and would continue to lead the fleet to clear out the enemy. If the situation in orbit was good, the Swan would descend to support friendly forces.

Now, it happens to be the latter situation.

"Fasten your seatbelts, what are you waiting for?"

The gun position next to Dui happened to be Cao Wei. Seeing Dui staring blankly outside, she casually reminded him.

"I……"

Dui found his throat was dry, he cleared it, and said while fastening his seat belt:

"Why hasn't the shelling stopped?"

"Why stop?"

"But the spaceport has stopped resisting. It has sent out a light signal of surrender."

When Cao Wei heard Du Yi say this, she looked at him strangely:
“They deserve this.”

“But this does not conform to the rules of engagement.”

"Nerd, when the Maple Republic invaded us, they didn't follow the rules of engagement. Have you forgotten the tragic situation of Stantumme?"

Dui opened his mouth, sighed and said nothing.

Both the military and civilians in the Xuanshui Federation have been waiting for this moment of revenge for too long. In order to inspire patriotic enthusiasm, the Xuanshui Federal Government also used propaganda methods that would arouse hatred.

For the Xuanshui Federation, paying blood debt with blood is not enough to satisfy them, they want the Red Maple Republic to pay ten times the amount!
The spaceport is legally a civilian facility, and once it surrenders, it cannot be attacked any further.

But laws need people to enforce them. When no one cares about the so-called rules of engagement, the rules are just a piece of waste paper.

The Swan was gradually approaching the exosphere. Dui could clearly see that the spaceport was beginning to catch fire and was unable to control its orbital altitude under the bombardment of ion beams and cannons.

He was in the gun position and saw very clearly the spaceport fall into the atmosphere.

Air friction cannot completely burn the spaceport, it will definitely fall on the surface of the planet. If it falls on a densely populated area, it will be a horrific disaster.

But this is exactly what the Avengers of the Whirlpool Federation want to see.

An idea suddenly popped into Dui's mind.

I'm afraid this war has begun to get out of control...
