Outside the Cecil Star System, Vite entrance to Star Path, fleet formations are densely lined up one after another.

Basically, each phalanx has at least 100,000 warships, but the most eye-catching one is one of the small phalanxes, which has only 10,000 warships.

Don't underestimate these 10,000 battleships. They are all composed of Battlecruiser and battleships!

In addition, the entire ship is equipped with Energy Shield, and its combat effectiveness is definitely comparable to an ordinary fleet of 100,000 warships.

This is what gave Faris the confidence to attack Vite Star System again, and was named Vanguard Fleet by him!

"The entire fleet is setting off one after another as planned!"

Following Faris's order, Vanguard Fleet first entered Star Path, and then one fleet after another followed!

In the end, it took more than 6 hours to send the entire 2 million fleet into Star Path.

"Faris, it should be stable this time, right?"

"Hamid Commander, please rest assured, I am 99% sure to win Vite Star System this time, and I won't pay too much loss!"

"Okay!"

The distance between Vite Star System and Cecil Star System is very close, only 1.2 light-years.

It takes more than four months to arrive via Star Path, which is a fairly short journey compared to Level 3 Civilization.

At this time, Kabart's 2 million army was about to arrive at Vite, but Vite's defenders did not realize that the crisis was coming.

On Star Path's defense line, the number of regular defenders is 100,000, and other warships are docked in the surrounding fortress groups. After all, you can't keep a fleet of more than 1 million people in the highest combat readiness state for decades, right?

Furthermore, Star Path is not big. Basically, 50,000 warships passing through every ten minutes is the limit. When these warships come out, they will face a defense line composed of 100,000 warships.

Moreover, when your follow-up fleet comes out, other fleets from the defenders have also arrived.

Therefore, it does not make much sense to deploy too many troops on the Star Path defense line.

Even if you deploy it, there are not that many places for you to fire. After all, the passage of Star Path is so big that it can only accommodate hundreds of warships passing through at the same time. 100,000 warships have already filled the defensive position.

Kabart More than thirty years ago, two attacks here had to be aborted because of too many casualties!

According to post-war calculations, the battle loss ratio between the two sides reached a terrifying 1:12. It can be seen that the defensive side of Star Path has the advantage, and the Star Path between Vite and Cecil is particularly narrow, which further expands the defender's advantage.

Just when the Oakes Empire garrison was ushering in a new boring day, alarms suddenly sounded throughout all the battleships and star ports in the entire galaxy.

Kabart Empire attacks again after thirty-two years!

A large number of warships began to sail out of the Star Path. To the surprise of the Oakes commander on the defense line, these vanguard warships were all battleships and Battlecruiser.

In response, the commander on the Oakes Empire defense line was frowning.

Could it be that Kabart gathered the battleships together as the vanguard and wanted to quickly break through the defense line?

But the opponent's commander shouldn't be that stupid. Even if the battleships are gathered together, they will have to kneel down when faced with a number far greater than their own and with crossfire from multiple directions!

Although he always felt a little weird, he didn't have time to think about it and immediately ordered the battleship to start firing!

On the other side, more than 5,000 Vanguard Fleet warships had just sailed out from Star Path, and they immediately formed an assault formation while firing at the defenders on the defense line.

More than 5,000 battleships and Battlecruiser gathered together and opened fire at the same time. This firepower density was simply mind-numbing!

You must know that although there are more than 10,000 battleships and Battlecruiser among the 100,000 battleships of the Oakes defenders, they are scattered throughout the entire fleet.

The first wave of attacks from both sides passed by each other, and more than 1,000 warships on the Oakes Empire defense line were immediately destroyed, and more than 1,000 ships were injured!

The caliber of artillery fire between the battleship and Battlecruiser is not comparable to that of the escort cruiser. If it is hit by Main Cannon, it will explode or be disabled!

On the other hand, Kabart Empire Vanguard Fleet was completely unscathed. A transparent blue Energy Shield lit up on each battleship. The commander of the Oakes Empire shrank his eyes and immediately realized something was wrong.

After all, in the first round of attacks, the commander of the Oakes Empire was not able to focus fire, so no warship was focused by a large number of battleships at the same time. At most, it was hit by 2 or 3 main guns. The rest were secondary guns and artillery fire from non-main ship types, such as frigates, destroyers, and cruisers.

After two rounds of shelling, the commander of the Oakes Empire realized that the opponent was indeed Energy Shield, and ordered all warships to start a concentrated fire attack.

However, at this time, Kabart Empire's Vanguard Fleet 10,000 warships had all arrived, and the warships that had withstood multiple main guns also moved inside the array, and the entire fleet began a full-speed assault towards the defense line!

At the same time, the Kabart Empire ordinary fleet behind also began to sail out of Star Path

Although the commander of the Oakes Empire quickly made the right decision and started a concentrated fire attack, he still could not stop the advance of Vanguard Fleet.

In the end, about 500 warships were destroyed and they crashed into their own defense lines.

This collision was over, and the defensive line turned into a melee, but it was uncomfortable for the Oakes Empire.

When the enemy and our warships are mixed together, it is impossible to use cluster coverage shooting, and the main guns do not dare to be used easily, and can only attack with the secondary guns.

And what about Vanguard Fleet? Then just let go of the fight. Anyway, even if you accidentally attack one of your own, there is still a shield, and one shot of the main gun can't kill anyone!

How can this battle continue? The commander of the Oakes Empire is now very depressed. This is a crushing attack on equipment and there is nothing he can do about it.

He really wanted the fleet to retreat, but he couldn't. The warships in the star port were coming over and it would take a few minutes.

Furthermore, the second line of defense is not fully ready, and it will take at least half an hour.

How can I withdraw from this? If he retreats, it is very likely that the entire front will begin to collapse!

The commander of the Oakes Empire had no choice but to continue the melee with a casualty ratio of more than 1:30.

It wouldn't be a problem to persist like this for another half an hour, but the problem is that the follow-up ordinary fleet of the Kabart Empire has already come out of the channel, about 50,000 people, and joined the offensive ranks, and Star Path is still coming out in a steady stream.

After a large number of follow-up fleets pounced on him, how could he hold on for half an hour?

The next moment something made him even more flustered. Kabart's Vanguard Fleet didn't bother with him.

After handing over the first line of defense to the follow-up fleet, they passed directly through the first line of defense! Pounce towards the second line of defense, the Oakes Empire fleet that is gathering!
