Chapter 264: Wait until they reveal their weaknesses, then we’ll launch a counterattack!

The battle is about to break out and the interstellar situation is changing rapidly.

Sterkar stared at the position of the Terra Empire fleet displayed on the holographic screen.

His hands tightly grasped the edge of the command console, his mind racing as he thought about how to deal with this sudden interstellar battle.

In the world of Warhammer 40K, every battle is decisive, and the battle in front of us will obviously affect the progress of the entire dungeon.

Leo’s voice sounded again, with a little tension in his tone: “Sir, the enemy fleet has entered the range and may open fire at any time.

Do we need to strike first?"

Sterkar frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and quickly ordered: "Don't be anxious, hold steady first, we can't easily reveal our flaws.

Let them make the first move and find out their background.

Stay on the defensive, and wait for them to reveal their weaknesses, then we can launch a counterattack!"

"Understood!" Leo immediately conveyed the order, and the fleet remained in a state of tense alert. All energy shields and firepower systems were on standby at all times.

A moment later, the enemy fleet's formation began to move, with the Terra Empire's flagship in the center of the fleet, and the densely packed escort ships around it formed a solid line of defense, gradually approaching the direction of the attacker planet.

Suddenly, the main guns of the Terra Empire fleet emitted a dazzling light, and several energy beams instantly penetrated the interstellar space and headed straight for Sterkar's fleet.

"Enemy ships open fire!" Leo shouted.

"Defend with all your strength!" Stekar gave the order calmly.

The energy shield of the attacker civilization lit up instantly, and almost at the moment when the enemy ship's light beam arrived, the shield withstood the impact, but there were violent energy fluctuations flashing on the surface of the shield, and it was obvious that the power of this attack was extraordinary.

Leo reported through the communication: "Sir, the shield withstood the first wave of attacks, but the energy fluctuations are strong. We can't continue to be attacked like this, otherwise the shield will collapse!"

"Very good, the shield held up!" Stekar smiled coldly: "Let the enemy fire a few more times, and we'll see how long they can hold on!"

The enemy ship obviously did not give up, and another wave of energy beams attacked, but this time, Sterkar's defense system had been adjusted to the best state, and the shield almost perfectly absorbed the enemy's firepower.

At the same time, Sterkar's fleet began to slightly adjust its formation, looking for the weak points of the enemy fleet.

Leo's voice came again: "Sir, we found that the enemy's left wing escort ship formation is a bit loose, it seems that there is a problem with the command and coordination over there.

Should we concentrate our firepower and take advantage of the opportunity to hit their left flank?"

Stekar smiled and gave a decisive order: "Okay! All ships concentrate their firepower and attack their left wing! Make a breakthrough for me!"

Leo immediately responded: "Understood! All fleets, listen up and focus on attacking the left wing!"

Under Leo's command, Sterkar's fleet quickly changed the direction of its firepower. All the energy turrets and missile systems opened fire at full force. In an instant, intensive firepower attacked the left wing of the Terra Empire fleet.

The enemy's escort ships were instantly overwhelmed by firepower, and several escort ships exploded one after another, turning into wreckage in the universe.

The collapse of the left wing threw the Terra Empire fleet's formation into disarray, and the flagship had to readjust its position.

"The enemy's left wing has collapsed and the formation is beginning to become chaotic!" There was obvious excitement in Leo's voice.

Sterkar remained calm and quickly commanded: "Don't relax! Keep increasing the firepower and make sure to completely defeat their left wing and force them to retreat!"

Sterkar's fleet attacked with all its might, completely breaking through the enemy fleet's left wing defenses, and the flagship of the Terra Empire also began to be affected.

Leo seized the opportunity and quickly commanded the fleet to advance further, intending to force the Terra Empire's fleet back completely.

However, at this moment, the flagship of the Terra Empire suddenly emitted a strong energy wave.

Sterkar noticed this immediately, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Be careful, they may have a backup plan!"

Sure enough, the next moment, the Terra Empire flagship released an extremely powerful energy shock wave, which spread instantly, and all the surrounding ships were shaken to the point of collapse.

Although Sterkar's shield system was still functioning, the strong energy fluctuations caused the shield to fluctuate violently.

Leo urgently reported: "Sir, the energy shock wave released by the enemy has affected our shield system, and the shield is rapidly weakening!"

Sterkar's face darkened and he said coldly: "Adjust the shield frequency and counterattack immediately! Don't let them have a chance to breathe!"

Leo quickly gave orders, the fleet's energy shield was adjusted to the optimal state, and the shield regained stability.

At the same time, Sterkar's fleet once again concentrated its firepower and attacked the enemy's flagship.

The flagship of the Terra Empire also began to turn around and tried to retreat, but under the fierce firepower of the Stekar fleet, its shield gradually collapsed and cracks began to appear in the hull.

"The enemy's flagship has been severely damaged!" Leo reported excitedly.

Sterkar looked at the holographic screen calmly and said in a deep voice: "No matter what tricks they have, we have already gained the upper hand in this battle.

Keep attacking until they retreat completely!"

The fleet continued its fierce attack, and finally, under the suppression of Sterkar's firepower, the shield of the Terra Empire's flagship completely collapsed, and the hull was torn into countless pieces.

With the destruction of the flagship, the Terra Empire's fleet finally began to retreat, and the remaining warships gradually withdrew from the battle and quickly withdrew to the distant interstellar space.

Leo reported loudly: "Sir, the Terra Empire's fleet is retreating! We won!"

Sterkar watched the enemy ships gradually go away and said coldly: “It’s just a temporary victory.

Don't let your guard down, stay alert.

We will repair them after they have completely left our star region!"

Leo nodded and replied, "Yes, sir!"

As the battle came to an end, Sterkar's fleet began to clean up the battlefield while also counting its own losses.

Although the battle was won, he knew it was only the beginning.

The forces of the Terra Empire will never give up easily, and he must be more fully prepared.

At the same time, the live broadcast room's bullet screen exploded again -

[Fuck! It was a head-on clash! Lord Sterkar is so powerful that he actually blew up the flagship of the Terra Empire! ]

[Haha, this battle is so exciting. The adults are really well prepared! ]

[But the Terra Empire will definitely not give up, and it is estimated that there will be bigger movements next! ] [Designer Azure Star 009's arrangement is really wonderful. The battle for the ruins broke out so quickly, which really caught people off guard! ]

[My Lord, please be careful. Although the Terra Empire's fleet has retreated, this is definitely not the final confrontation! ]

[This is so exciting! You must strengthen the defense and study the ruins next! I look forward to the subsequent developments! ]

Stekar ignored the cheers from the barrage, his eyes still fixed on the holographic screen.

Although the battle has come to a temporary end, he knows that a greater crisis is yet to come.

He clenched his fists, his eyes were firm, and his tone was filled with unshakable determination: “Terra Empire, it’s not that easy for you to seize control of this star field.

Next, I will let you know that the Raider civilization will not be easily shaken!"

Just as Sterkar was thinking, Tomoko's voice rang in his mind: "Sir, the reconnaissance team has conducted a deeper exploration of the ruins.

We discovered more technological equipment and energy sources.

There is also a special area that seems to be the core of the ruins, but we don’t have the authority to fully unlock it yet! ”

Stekar nodded slightly: "Core area? What kind of authority is hindering us?"

Tomoko replied: “The core area has a very complex energy barrier that combines a variety of unknown technologies.

Our technological level is not yet able to crack it, but we can gradually find a way to break through by studying peripheral equipment and data!"

Sterkar whispered, “It seems that this relic is more than just dark matter energy.

You continue to send scientific research teams to conduct in-depth research in the core area and find a way to break the barrier as soon as possible.

We must master all the secrets of this relic as soon as possible!"

"Understood, sir. I have begun to deploy more scientific researchers and equipment to speed up the process!" Tomoko's voice remained calm and efficient.

At this moment, Elena's communication suddenly interrupted, her voice full of excitement: "Sir! We have just completed the preliminary analysis of dark matter energy. This energy does have amazing potential.

We have successfully applied it in a small experimental device, and the results show that it can significantly improve our energy conversion efficiency!"

"Oh?" Sterkar's eyes lit up: "What kind of improvement is it?"

Elena said excitedly: "Sir, our preliminary experiments show that dark matter energy can increase the firepower output of our ships by at least three times while keeping the energy consumption unchanged! Not only that, it can also significantly enhance the strength of the shield and can even be used in space jump technology to shorten the time of interstellar travel!"

Sterkar nodded with satisfaction: “This is really good news, Elena.

What you need to do next is to quickly apply these technologies to our current combat equipment and fleet.

The Terra Empire won't give us much time, we must improve our combat effectiveness before they act again!"

Elena responded firmly: "Don't worry, sir. I have arranged a team to carry out engineering development, and it is expected that these technologies will be applied to actual combat soon!"

Stekar sat down slowly, thinking about his next plan.

At this time, Holden's communication also interrupted, with a hint of anxiety in his tone: "Sir, I just got the news from the Resource Allocation Department. Although our energy reserves are sufficient, if we continue to fight in this high-intensity consumption mode, there may be shortages in the next few battles!"

Sterkar frowned: "Energy shortage? This is not good news.

Holden, where can we improve energy access?"

Holden pondered for a moment and said quickly: “Sir, we can consider speeding up the mining of resources in the surrounding asteroid belt. Although the mineral reserves there are not large, they are enough for us to survive the current crisis.

In addition, if Elena's dark matter energy technology can be applied as soon as possible, it may also alleviate the pressure of energy consumption to a certain extent! "

"Okay, then I'll do as you suggest.

Immediately speed up the progress of resource extraction, and give priority to solving any problems of insufficient manpower!" Sterkar ordered decisively.

Holden quickly responded, “Yes, sir! I will speed up this matter!”

Sterkar's thoughts turned to the upcoming situation.

Although the battle has come to a temporary end, he knows that the Terra Empire will not let go of this relic easily, and more challenges are still to come.

Sterkar must ensure that every step he takes is steady and seize the initiative before the Terra Empire takes any bigger action.

At this moment, Savile's communication also joined in, his voice low and cautious: "My lord, my intelligence network has recently captured some unusual movements.

The intelligence department of the Terran Empire seems to be stepping up its investigation of our planet. I suspect they may send spies or infiltration teams to try to obtain our research results on the ruins!"

Sterkar frowned, "Spies? Are they still unwilling to use this method to make small moves?"

Savile said calmly: "The intelligence department of the Terra Empire has always been known for its cunning. Their infiltration operations are usually very secretive. Once they succeed, the consequences will be disastrous.

I have strengthened the security measures in various departments, but I still recommend that you remain highly vigilant, especially around the scientific research team! "

Sterkar nodded: "Okay, you continue to strengthen your defenses and prevent their espionage activities at all costs.

Report any suspicious persons or activities to me immediately! "

"Yes, sir!" replied Savile.

As a series of instructions were issued, Sterkar gradually felt that the operation of the entire Raider Planet began to become more intense and efficient.

Scientific research, military, defense, intelligence, all aspects were rapidly advancing under his careful command.

The threat from the Terra Empire is like a sword hanging over his head, but he knows that only by constantly improving the strength of his own civilization can he remain invincible in this interstellar battlefield.

At this time, the live broadcast room's bullet screen was refreshed crazily again—

[Your Excellency's operation is solid! Scientific research and combat are carried out simultaneously. This is what a true interstellar ruler should be like! ]

[Wow, the dark matter energy was actually analyzed successfully. This will make the fleet's combat effectiveness soar! ]

[But the energy problem is indeed a big problem. It feels like the Terra Empire may launch another wave of attacks at any time. Lord Stekar needs to hurry up! ]

[Espionage? Wow, the Terra Empire is really treacherous. They are playing dirty tricks when they can't defeat them! My Lord, you must be careful!]

[Designer Blue Star 009 has made the difficulty of this dungeon higher and higher. The enemies are not only powerful, but also so cunning that it is hard to guard against them! ]
