Warhammer, I really didn't intend to form a second empire!

"Full fleet, Shatter Star main cannons, now begin charging, prepare to launch a targeted strike on the core area of ​​the alien formation."

After the command was issued, each formation in the array began to adjust its course according to the predetermined plan.

The First Fleet on the northern flank cut into the edge of the alien fleet at high speed in column formation, severing the connection between some of the alien ships that were trying to turn and the main fleet.

The Second Fleet on the southern flank maintained fire suppression while advancing in sync, its artillery fire precisely hitting the outer edge of the alien formation, forcing ships attempting to break out from that direction to slow down and turn.

The Ironborn fleet continued to apply fire from the front, their macro cannons and light spears firing alternately at a steady frequency, gradually weakening the alien formation's forward line.

Under continuous attacks, the alien ships began to adjust their formation, moving damaged ships to the rear while replenishing the front line with new ships from the inside.

Yue Fei noticed a detail.

While their formation adjustments maintain a superficial consistency, their relocation speed is gradually slowing down, and the number of ships available to fill gaps at the front is also decreasing.

After confirming this change, he ordered all fleets to maintain their current firepower density, continue to maintain pressure, and not to rush to tighten the encirclement, but to wait for the enemy to show a greater weakness.

After completing their initial charging, all the fleet's main cannons remained in a ready-to-fire state and were not immediately released.

Yue Fei ordered the main gun array to continue charging, awaiting further instructions before firing simultaneously.

After the third round of conventional fire coverage was completed, a small gap appeared in the forward line of the alien formation.

Yue Fei saw the gap. Although it was not wide, it was enough for some ships to break through the enemy's forward defenses and launch a short-range attack on the core area behind.

He ordered the Second Fleet to accelerate its advance from the southern flank, maneuvering in a dispersed formation toward the gap, taking advantage of the time window before the enemy's forward lines regrouped, to establish fire positions on the edge of the core area, thus opening a passage for the following fleet.

Upon receiving orders, the Second Fleet turned and cut in. They advanced rapidly and successfully reached their designated positions before the enemy could complete their formation.

After the Second Fleet arrived, the core area of ​​the alien fleet began to be exposed to the effective range of the Shattering Star Cannon. After confirming the window, Yue Fei issued the order to fire the Shattering Star Cannon.

Upon receiving the order, all the main cannons of the entire fleet simultaneously released beams, dozens of high-energy beams shooting from different directions toward the core area of ​​the alien fleet, covering those ships that were still adjusting their formation.

Most of the alien ships were pierced by the beam, and after the energy shields shattered, the hull began to disintegrate.

The core area of ​​the alien fleet was severely damaged, and the central formation suffered extensive damage. Damaged ships shattered radially under the beam of light, with debris scattered in the surrounding space.

Yue Fei noticed that the enemy's formation was in obvious disarray, with signs of collisions and interference between ships. Some ships attempted to break away from the formation from the side, but were quickly suppressed by the Second Fleet's firepower.

He ordered the Ironborn fleet to advance from the front, squeezing the remaining ships of the alien formation towards the compressed direction, while sending several ships equipped with the Starshatter main guns to maneuver to the side to continue looking for the opportunity for the next salvo.

Over the next few hours, the remaining alien fleet was compressed layer by layer, the space becoming smaller and smaller. Under pressure from multiple directions, they were gradually compressed into a limited area.

Those ships that had attempted to break away from the side were intercepted by the Second Fleet's firepower and lost their mobility. Their wreckage floated in the shadows where the stars could not reach, and they lost their signal.

After suppressing the alien fleet, Yue Fei turned his attention to the planet's surface.

Images sent back by the reconnaissance squadron showed that the bio-titans on the alien planet were moving toward the landing point of the Imperial Dragon Legion.

There were approximately forty bio-titans, their surfaces covered in dark organic bio-armor, ranging in size from twenty-five to thirty-five meters, and all moving in a unified direction.

After confirming the location and direction of movement of the bio-titans, he ordered the fleet to adjust the light lances of some ships to low-power mode, preparing to carry out precision strikes on the surface.

When the bio-titan swarm entered the designated strike range, the light spear released several beams in low-power mode, generating two rounds of directional impacts in the densest area of ​​the swarm.

In the ground forces, no matter what, the Titan is the absolute strongest main force. Even a Primarch, unless it is someone like Zhao Zheng or Puff Horus, is absolutely no Primarch who can rival a Titan on the battlefield.

Even the smallest warhound could never match the original.

However, being invincible in ground warfare does not mean they are truly invincible. For example, at this moment, with just two rounds of light spears at the lowest power, only ten of the dozens of bio-titans remain.

"Ground troops quickly followed up, with Stormbird, Thunderhawk, and Banshee fighters rapidly entering the battlefield to provide air support, and Odin, Thor, and Golia mechs immediately airdropped to advance the ground battlefield."

At this time, some aliens also began to emerge from the arsenals on the surface, but those aliens were very strange.

They are strange, but somewhat humanoid, though their appearances are vastly different, and they generally have a physique comparable to some Space Marines.

However, it is clear that these aliens are still far inferior to Yue Fei's Emperor Dragon Legion, whose entire force is clad in Xuanwu-type heavy armor, and their "good brothers" auxiliary troops in raider armor.

In particular, Odin and the Thor mechs annihilated the bio-titans with lightning speed, and then rapidly advanced the battle line on the ground, with armored units following suit.

To be honest, these aliens are not weak. Judging from what the apothecaries examined in the flesh and blood tissue that had been shattered by the bombs, their physical strength is definitely not much inferior to those "good brothers," and they are even comparable to Space Marines.

What kind of alien is this? It's so outrageous!

How can there be so many aliens that they can be compared to Space Marines?

But it doesn't matter anymore. This alien species will be wiped out today. There are so many outrageous aliens in the Great Expedition, and the Qin Dynasty and the Empire have wiped out more than just one or two of them.

The ground advance was very rapid.

While the aliens were individually quite strong, and their physical strength and reaction speed in close-quarters combat were indeed close to those of Space Marines, their tactical organization was relatively primitive, and they were accustomed to relying on numerical superiority to suppress the enemy head-on.

When faced with the Emperor Dragon Legion's systematic heavy firepower coverage and coordinated advance of armored forces, their fearless assaults were quickly dismantled layer by layer.

Odin and the Thor mechs maintained a steady pace of advance at the forefront, with their twin-barreled rapid-fire machine guns and plasma cannons firing alternately, flattening swathes of the alien formations that were trying to assemble ahead.

The Golia mechs deployed in a defensive formation on both sides, using precise crossfire to block the alien squads attempting to flank them.

Heavy armored tank formations followed closely behind, their fire covering the areas traversed by the mech formations, ensuring that no remaining aliens could regroup from the rear.

Yue Fei stood on the bridge of the Wu Mu ship, watching the live footage sent back by the ground troops. The alien figures fell one after another amidst the flashes of explosives and heat. Their numbers were steadily decreasing, and the intensity of their resistance was also decreasing in tandem.

However, his attention was actually focused on the planets occupied by aliens.

The industrial facilities on those planets are quite complete, with a high degree of automation in iron ore refineries and alloy casting workshops.

There were also a large number of biotechnology devices that Zhao Zheng had never seen before, and the shapes of those devices presented an organic style that was completely different from the imperial industrial style.

In the images sent back by Yue Fei, the structure of those devices visually presented a blurred form that was somewhere between mechanical and biological.

Although at first glance it seems to follow the same style as the Alien, some traces of human industrial design can be vaguely discerned from the device's interface specifications and remaining symbols.

Moreover, they even have extremely large shipyards, which are not used for building ships, but instead have begun to construct huge gun emplacements and buildings.

These heavy devices look somewhat similar to fragments of the Greenskins' Warstone, but it's clear that these are more technologically advanced and not as crudely made as the Greenskins'.

If these aliens can even build war-making megaliths, what are they?

This discovery gave Yue Fei some new ideas about the origin of this alien.

After clearing the surface aliens and disarming the industrial facilities, he immediately ordered the technical team to conduct a preliminary inspection of the most intact facilities, and then had the pharmacists sample and record the equipment.

The main structure of those devices showed a high degree of consistency, as if they were mass-produced from the same standardized template, without any trace of chaotic modification common in Warhammer games.

After a preliminary inspection, Song Ci and Yuwen Kai compiled the data from those facilities into a brief assessment report and sent it back to Qiankun Star via an encrypted channel.

The report was quite restrained in its wording, but one passage is worth noting.

"The industrial base of this alien species is highly uniform, and the equipment specifications partially overlap with Imperial standards."

"We cannot rule out the possibility that it is a descendant of a branch of humans from the Golden Age. We recommend conducting more in-depth genetic analysis on the sample to confirm its origin."

Zhao Zheng was reading the report aboard the Lishan while drinking a steaming cup of tea.

Upon seeing the report and the alien samples sent back from the front lines, some long-neglected memories finally surfaced in his mind.

Zhao Zheng stood up instantly, looking at the report and documents.

I knew it! How could these aliens possibly give me such a familiar feeling?

That's Ran Dan, isn't she?!
