The war erupted with astonishing speed. The Sauron Alliance's War Department had only just begun mobilizing and had not even fully assembled before the fighting began.
Black Hawk's trademark surprise assault gave the Sauron Alliance no time to react. The first battle was over before they knew it. Tempered by Lan over the years, Black Hawk, whose style centered on speed, had long become a venomous blade, bringing speed, precision, and ruthlessness to perfection.
With a surprise attack, they could wipe out an unprepared enemy base in one stroke, then flee thousands of miles away.
In a single battle, they easily destroyed bases across ten Star Systems of the Sauron Alliance.
Although none of them were particularly important bases, once the swift blade was drawn and secured a resounding victory, it was enough to place immense pressure on the Sauron Alliance.
Black Hawk's raid was a signal. On the other side, Xiao Li also began his battle plan.
Defenses along the borders of star regions involved sealing off individual Star Systems and even galaxies, then constructing Space-Based Weapons within them as war fortresses. Their positions and arrangements were entirely beyond comparison with warfare on planets.
The defenses here covered all eight quadrants. Any one of them could become a target of attack.
That was the difficulty of deploying defenses in space.
Likewise, wars in space were not fought one by one, but in groups. In a large-scale war, they might attack dozens or even hundreds of enemy Star Fortresses at the same time.
The scene was like butterflies weaving through flowers. The moment the outcome at any Star Fortress emerged, they had to immediately calculate how its victory or defeat would affect the other nearby stellar battlefields.
Would the enemy emerge from that battlefield and head to other Star Fortress
