Chapter 1054: Chapter 1054

Du You now understood that those troop carriers were not just for transportation, but also served as production factories. The only reason the Blood-colored Empire didn’t care about them was that the facilities were quite rudimentary and were only capable of semi-production.

Facing such an overwhelming attack, if one’s strength was insufficient, it was very easy to be overwhelmed in one fell swoop.

However, the commanders on the scene didn’t care at all; in fact, the performance of the Air Machine Gun Towers proved to be extremely effective, much more so than those with solid bullet machine gun towers, though they consumed a bit more energy.

However, Du You’s territory had a special power plant that could continuously generate and provide energy, so there was no need to worry about an energy shortage. Such consumption was almost negligible for a territory.

Thanks to the territory’s special abilities, as long as the machine gun towers weren’t destroyed, they suffered very little wear and tear from their own attacks and could even self-repair. Some of the territory’s special abilities seemed like cheating in reality.

At this moment, Du You also spotted a new deficiency in his territory: the lack of long-range firepower against ground targets. If it were any other mature territory, they would have already started destroying the troop carriers with artillery fire by now. But never mind, he let them continue, for Du You had already assessed the situation.

"This territory is indeed weak; although they’ve spent a lot of money acquiring advanced weapons, their commanders lack experience," one person remarked.

"I agree. They don’t even attack our troop carriers, instead they keep engaging with the cannon fodder," another added.

"I fear it’s not that simple; they probably just don’t have that kind of weaponry prepared, so they can only keep burning through resources. They’re still holding back their Satellite Orbital Cannons, using them defensively—I wonder how much ammo they have prepped," commented another.

Within the fleet of the Blood-colored Empire deep in outer space, some were also holding a video conference.

Although this wave of attack seemed fierce, it was also a probing maneuver. They were concerned that this location might be a trap set by the enemy, which could be dangerous if they fell into it.

The Star Ring Alliance had often tricked them, and they had done the same in return. During space battles, one must be extremely cautious because the destructive power of these weapons was immense, yet their effects were too singular—any carelessness could lead to complete annihilation.

This battle wouldn’t end in a short time as the troop carriers continued to release biological weapons for a full three days. Throughout these three days, the base took advantage of its defenses to continuously slaughter the attackers.

Since the construction on Harry Asteroid had just begun, almost all the buildings and personnel were within the range of the territory. After the battle started, a large number of territory personnel were also recalled, packing the territory to the brim.

Outsiders didn’t understand why there were so many civilians here, but they had nothing to be suspicious about.

All of this was covered up with the help of the Professionals Association. This wasn’t the first time they had done this. For three days, the troop ships exhausted all their embryo supply, and all the biological weapons turned into blood and tissue scattered on the ground. It seemed that after this battle, the land on Harry Asteroid would be very fertile, though it could also potentially trigger a widespread Plague.

In the interstellar era, plagues were of limited harm to people and didn’t warrant too much concern.

"It’s been three days, and they’ve been constantly attacking. Our biological weapons haven’t advanced an inch. I bet their reserve energy and ammunition consumption is huge; we can’t give them time to recover," stated one of the attackers.

"Exactly, we need to act quickly. Considering their support capacity, reinforcement should arrive within a day if they had called for it," another agreed.

What they didn’t realize was that Du You had not made any move to call for reinforcements. In fact, Du You’s worst-case scenario was to engage in guerrilla warfare. By constantly wearing them down over time, he was certain to exhaust them eventually.

At worst, all buildings in the territory would be destroyed, and he would have to rebuild from scratch. Although the loss would be significant, as long as he remained and at least one building in the territory stood, the territory would persist. For origınal chapters go to 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍

But now it seemed that this battle was much easier than he had anticipated.

"Quick, look, they’re moving. All Satellite Orbital Cannons, prepare. Energy Gathering Cannons, get ready."

Another flurry of activity ensued as the colossal fleet began to approach Harry Asteroid. Previously, they had stayed at a distance, but now they started their all-out assault.

"They must be concerned about our reinforcements arriving by now, considering the time frame. If we had called for help earlier, the support should almost be here," someone quipped, bringing to light why the enemy stopped probing.

Five hundred ships faced off against one hundred Satellite Orbital Cannons. Due to their simplicity, the cannons had a slightly longer range. Under the command of the controllers, the Satellite Orbital Cannons fired without hesitation.

Beams of light shot out, with barriers around the warships blocking them. But under concentrated fire, the beams finally shattered the barriers, penetrating right through and shattering a warship.

The battle had just begun and already ten warships had fallen. However, the Satellite Orbital Cannons also entered the range of the warships’ attacks. Then, the warships and the Satellite Orbital Cannons fired almost simultaneously, both with precise accuracy.

Another twenty warships exploded, but the Satellite Orbital Cannons in the sky were all destroyed. With that, Harry Asteroid’s outer space defenses were effectively gone.

"Space warfare is indeed decisive; a single attack can achieve the objective," said Du You with a nod, acknowledging the accuracy of the concentrated strikes and noting that it made sense given the high offensive power of technological weapons, which far surpassed defense, especially when they were long-range and precise, giving the side with superior firepower an easy victory.

"The enemy has lost thirty warships, leaving four hundred and seventy remaining. The loss is minor and won’t prevent them from continuing to approach."

"Within firing range, Energy Gathering Cannons request permission to attack."

Upon receiving an order, it was immediately approved from above, and fifty Energy Gathering Cannons began to unleash their attacks into the skies. These were far more powerful than the Satellite Orbital Cannons.

One volley later, nearly twenty warships were brought down, exploding midair. However, the responding warships were relentless, releasing their attacks and systematically bombarding the Energy Gathering Cannons into destruction.

Then the warships opened their hatches, releasing swarms of warplanes and mechas. The distinctly featured Flesh and Blood Fighters and Flesh and Blood Mechas, along with their red energy weapons, appeared on the battlefield.

"Full-scale war, release all our combat power, and obscure their line of sight. Everyone else who wants to fight can start now." The last statement was directed at Du You.
