Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053

Time flew by, and as the defensive line was being fervently built, the opposing forces in the sky finally arrived.

They had just arrived, and we had already received the news. "They really value me, sending so many."

At the temporary command center, Du You was observing the screen and data. The number of enemies this time had reached five hundred, and that was just the number of warships, all of which were rated tier four. These weren’t mere escort ships but full-fledged warships designed for normal combat.

Even a single tier-four warship, if fighting one-on-one against a normal tier-four intruder, would generally be stronger. Because warships are so large and their firepower is more fierce, without special measures, it is very difficult for manpower to contend with these products of technology.

This time, a total of five hundred had come, and even with Du You’s strength, facing them head-on would certainly be a fight to the death.

If the main guns concentrated their fire, Du You did not believe his defenses could hold. "Destruction Flames" at full strength might be able to wipe them out in one swoop, but Du You did not trust that the enemy would give him enough time to use his skills.

It seemed that even he would have to take them on one by one.

"Their first wave of attack has arrived, consisting of transport ships. The "Energy Gathering Cannon" will cease firing, only the "Satellite Orbital Cannons" will intercept, and prepare for ground combat," commanded the busy personnel in the command center.

Du You did not know how to command this kind of war, so he did not say a word, merely watching with a cool detachment.

On the other hand, Sera was quite lively, bustling about and asking questions tirelessly. Perhaps because Sera was exceedingly attractive, nobody she questioned could bear not to answer, and they did so with diligence and effort.

In these days, Sera had learned much, thanks to her powerful ability to learn.

Du You could see that Sera was progressing toward becoming a true commander, and this brought him comfort.

Continuing to watch the screen, the "Satellite Orbital Cannons" now orbiting the planet had arrived. The first ships to arrive weren’t regular warships, but troop carriers, a tactic commonly used by the "Blood-colored Empire". Follow current novels on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽

"The troop carriers of the ’Blood-colored Empire’ usually have no other advantages aside from defense and space; they are used for early destruction. They release a vast number of biological weapons to cover an area, depleting the enemy’s ammunition. So, we just need to prevent these things from directly hitting the airspace above our territory, and let them land elsewhere,"

explained a person tasked with briefing the situation nearby.

Du You knew that these individuals were part of the student union from the academy, specifically from the technology branch. Previously, due to differences in their fields of study, he seldom had any dealings with them, so it was normal not to see them often.

These people were more solemn than other student union members. The air about them was intense; at a glance, they all seemed like soldiers. No wonder it was said that the students from the military branch had the best discipline in the academy—Du You was now witnessing it for himself.

Out in space, the "Satellite Orbital Cannons" had begun their assault. Some Professionals with longer-range attacks were now casting their "Magic" into outer space to assist the "Satellite Orbital Cannons". Beams of light struck the incoming behemoths. The hulls of these massive ships were extremely hard, often requiring several strikes to break their "Defensive Barriers".

Then, a few more hits were needed to shatter the exteriors. As a result, the "Satellite Orbital Cannons" couldn’t intercept all of them and could only take out a portion, allowing at least three-quarters of the ships to penetrate the interior of Harry Asteroid.

"Cease firing, ’Satellite Orbital Cannons’ continue defending the outer area," came the next order. The "Satellite Orbital Cannons" that had been about to rotate to fire on the ground suddenly halted.

"Hitting them now is pointless, the biological weapons are too weak individually once released."

The energy reserves of the "Satellite Orbital Cannons" were limited, relying on solar energy for recovery, hence they would be incapable of continuing the assault if their energy was depleted. Du You nodded and continued to observe without offering any comments.

On the screen, the doors of the ships had opened, revealing a plethora of biological weapons. There were creatures like giant bees and "Bloody War Dogs" that Du You was familiar with, as well as various beings he didn’t recognize and some bizarre, grotesque things.

"How come there are people?" Du You pointed to the screen, speaking for the first time.

"Those are ’Cyborgs,’ crafted through ’Biological Technology’ by transforming some criminals or ’Biochemical Men’. They aren’t very strong in combat but are quite agile; you could consider it a kind of punishment. This kind of transformation technology is taboo in the ’Star Ring Alliance’."

Du You now understood that those guys could indeed actually be humans.

As the biological weapons gradually entered the range of the base, the "Machine Gun Towers" finally began to operate. These towers were not the tall types, actually measuring just over one meter in height.

At the back, the largest fixture was a huge "Air Compression Chamber," which had already started working, acting like a giant piston, constantly moving up and down to extract and compress large amounts of air.

Without waiting for the firing order, the "Air Machine Gun Towers" opened fire as soon as the biological weapons came into range.

There were no sparks, only the nearly invisible "Air Compression Bullets". They were very fast, but with limited range, and any target they hit was left with a hole. Once the kinetic energy of the "Air Compression Bullets" was spent, the compressed air would explode, like a grenade causing further damage to the target.

In close-quarters situations with a high number of targets, the machine gun towers automatically activated "Scatter Shot" mode, sacrificing accuracy for increased firing speed. At the front lines, all one could see was blood and flesh flying everywhere; blood blossoms littered the scene.

For many Professionals and other helpers unaccustomed to such scenes, the sight was profoundly disturbing. But for those Professionals who thrived in such an environment, they shouted zealously, seeking their own targets to strike.

This environment might seem brutal, but it was actually very safe, with both sides under control. As long as one did not foolishly run into the enemy lines, there was no risk to life. For those of the first or second tier, this environment could bring them a substantial income. Whether it was "Crystal Coins" or possibly loot drops.

Some technology-type Professionals were already piloting their "Mecha" or other weapons onto the battlefield. However, these individuals were hardly noticeable when compared to the entire battle, like a single grain of sand in the Ganges.

"Why are there so many? It looks like they’re never-ending," Du You noticed that the number of biological weapons seemed too high.

"Because their transport holds come equipped with embryos that can hatch a mass of biological weapons in a short span. Unless the troop carriers are destroyed, the total number of biological weapons they release will be at least ten times the original amount they carry."
