The fleets of the three major groups were still speculating when six small aircraft rapidly approached them.
When they were less than a hundred kilometers from the fleet, the six tiny aircraft suddenly expanded. In barely a second, they grew from half a meter in size into large Aerospace Planes more than forty meters long.
"This..."
Such a shocking sight left everyone in the fleet stunned—it was no longer mere shock. They simply could not imagine such a maneuver was possible. This was beyond the syllabus.
At a distance of one hundred kilometers, given the relative speed of both sides, they only had three seconds.
The Aerospace Planes took one second to "decompress," and the fleet spent another second staring blankly. By the time they reacted, the collision had already happened.
The six Aerospace Planes suddenly erupted with dazzling radiance. Light flowed across their surfaces, and then, at a relative speed exceeding thirty kilometers per second, they slammed into the spacecraft ahead.
Six aircraft struck two spacecraft.
The defensive shields on the spacecraft were pierced straight through—they did not even have time to collapse. The aircraft then crashed into the spacecraft like Flying Swords. In the blink of an eye, they passed through the ships and burst out their backs.
The spacecraft were pierced through as easily as hot knives cutting butter.
The six Aerospace Planes slowed considerably, dropping from their maximum speed of sixteen kilometers per second to around seven or eight kilometers per second, then crashed toward the spacecraft behind them.
In space, two spacecraft could be separated by dozens or even hundreds of kilometers. The ships in the rear had finally reacted and begun to respond.
Or rather, the fleet's commander-in-chief and overall commander had reacted.
"They're too fast. They need us to help them decelerate. Have
