Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 463 - 453 Unprecedented Star Battle (2)
As soon as the Enslavers Fleet emerged from their warp bubble, the Great Emperor of Teizene and his staff immediately began extensive intelligence gathering. Within a planetary system, the amount of useful intelligence that could be obtained increased. With the help of the illumination of stellar light and the reflection from celestial bodies, by calculating the variations in gravitational forces of different celestial bodies, the Great Emperor of Teizene was able to deduce a relative distribution of forces.
And the map depicting the enemy’s distribution was also produced by the Enslavers side.
"Great Emperor of Teizene, didn’t you say that the Star Alliance had transferred all their main battle forces to Lingge Star? Why are there still so many Star Alliance warships near Taoran Star?" The message from Da Ci En contained fury. Unlike the combat-loving and battle-thriving Lizard People, the Enslavers preferred bullying over fighting, and upon discovering that the scale of the Star Alliance warships was still massive, they became somewhat tense.
The Great Emperor of Teizene was not so fixated on this and simply responded indifferently, "They used the same trick as us, since they hadn’t managed to successfully draw away their main force. Let’s fight a fair fight right here."
From the time the Great Emperor led the main forces of the Empire into this war, he had already developed a full understanding and positioning of himself and the enemy. The Star Alliance might appear fragile, but they undoubtedly came from a High Level Civilization. They possessed not only advanced technological levels but were also a formidable and respectable military opponent. The Great Emperor of Teizene had analyzed every detail of the wars his two sons were involved in and fully affirmed that the Universe Army of the Star Alliance was a military organization with full mobilization, solid discipline, high morale, and excellent tactics, a match for the opponent.
Perhaps the Teizene Empire was heading towards insignificance, but to fight against a powerful enemy was also something that could console him in life.
"Stay calm, Da Ci En. The enemy ultimately has far fewer forces than us, and since they have their fleet distributed at various positions, their defense of Taoran Star is limited. We also don’t need to worry about them detonating Taoran Star directly, causing our mission to fail," he assured.
Da Ci En himself couldn’t possibly lead this war, so he asked, "Great Emperor of Teizene, what’s your plan? Are you going to engage with the Star Alliance fleets one by one?"
The Great Emperor of Teizene shook his head. "That’s not a good idea. Our warships are on average of lower quality, so we need to concentrate our numbers to form a firepower advantage."
"Then what’s your target?"
"By tearing open a rift in the Star Alliance’s defense line, creating a situation advantageous for us, we will then move to seize Taoran Star after fully defeating the enemy," said the Great Emperor of Teizene as he relaxed his claws, seeming without any pressure.
The entire massive Enslavers Fleet densely covered the vastness of space. The mere space occupied by this fleet was enough to blot out the sky, and on tens of thousands of square kilometers, there were Enslavers Warships. Such a formation of warfare wasn’t standard, but it was sufficient to quickly adjust into a better firing position when the battle commenced, delivering strikes to the enemy.

After Xu Lanzhou got hold of the enemy’s movements, she was slightly regretful that they hadn’t blundered into the trap the Universe Army of the Star Alliance had set. She immediately ordered the sixth Strategic Fleet to launch their attack. This fleet of more than four hundred warships would take the initiative to attack the enemy from the rear of the Enslavers Fleet.
Lv Zhinian looked at Xu Lanzhou and asked, "Are you planning to lure the enemy deeper?"
Xu Lanzhou nodded, not denying it. Her thoughts were straightforward. The entire galaxy was filled with defense weapons set up by the Star Alliance, from minefields in space to defensive platforms, all sufficient to give the enemy a hard time. The current position of the enemy wasn’t great, but if they pursued the sixth Fleet and penetrated deeper into the defensive line, then Xu Lanzhou could organize a larger force to encircle and attack the enemy.
Pulling the enemy fleet and finding an opportunity amidst maneuvering was also a quintessentially Iridium Star-like combat goal.
However, Lv Zhinian wasn’t optimistic, commenting, "The enemy might not move."
Several battleships, supported by Battleship Cruisers and Heavy Cruisers, made up the sixth Fleet, specializing in long-range firepower strikes and missile attacks. They were the fleet group closest to the Enslavers Fleet, and Xu Lanzhou had pushed them to confront the enemy as soon as they appeared.
"Fire!" Xu Lanzhou gave the order.
The main guns of the sixth Fleet had impressive range, with the essence of Iridium Star technology in their elite weaponry, they commenced a fierce assault on the enemy as soon as they entered effective firing range.
Most kinetic weapons in the universe, given the effect of celestial mass and complex astronomical factors, had continuity in speed, but that did not imply their range was infinite. In the firing tables set up by the Iridium Star, any range beyond that capable of effective hits didn’t count as range.
The simultaneous broadside from more than four hundred warships was impressive, but the Great Emperor of Teizene didn’t frown (actually, he didn’t have eyebrows).
"Have each ship conduct autonomous interception, raise the fleet’s defense shields, and move the fleet towards the first set coordinates," he commanded.
One by one, the Enslavers Warships raised their own shields, and their self-defense weapons stood tall, rapidly firing to intercept the ammunition being shot by Star Alliance warships. Ammunition fired from longer distances was highly likely to be intercepted, even the high-speed kinetic weapons, not to mention the slower missiles.
Despite this, quite a few rounds still hit the Enslavers Warships. Tiny details exploded in splashes across the vast fleet, but that was about it.
The Great Emperor of Teizene pushed the fleet forward, gradually moving out of the effective striking range of the sixth Fleet.
Observing this situation, Lv Zhinian said to Xu Lanzhou, "This indicates that the enemy doesn’t want to dance to our tune. They have their own methods and are deeply aware of the traps we’ve laid everywhere, so they dare not make any rash moves."
Xu Lanzhou’s face was stern as she said, "Very cautious, is it? All right, if they want to drag this out with us in the Taoran Galaxy, we have plenty of time to wear them down. Move to the second set of battle plans, all fleet groups execute defensive line-based cover operations. Let’s see what these guys ultimately plan to do in the galaxy."
Xu Lanzhou’s approach was actually one of waiting—home field advantage combined with technological superiority allowed her to wait for the enemy to make a move. Then she would respond, and her response would clearly be more targeted. The Great Emperor of Teizene couldn’t afford to make a mistake now, as any serious error on their part could likely be seized upon by Xu Lanzhou, leading to substantial losses.
