The Downs, Guanwana-class MS Carriers, Factory Battleships, and various other warships numbered over two hundred in total. They stood before Mars, safeguarding its security as the Guardian Fleet.
Some Sky Wing Army soldiers, formerly citizens of the Dion Empire, felt intense resentment when they learned that Dikla intended to use meteorites to strike Mars, because their families were all on Mars.
They all felt Dikla had gone insane, showing no regard whatsoever for his former compatriots. Compared to his grandfather, he was far inferior.
Those former Dion Empire citizens who had originally remained neutral or merely watched from the sidelines decided to join their fellow citizens of the Skywing Empire in defending Mars.
The more than one hundred meteorite chunks were now less than one million kilometers from Mars.
The battery systems in the meteorite chunks had long since run out of power. They were now relying on backup power systems.
The meteorite chunk carrying Dikla was at the very front.
The Guardian Fleet launched a barrage of Mobile Drill Missiles and Minov Particle Missiles, mixed with several anti-Neutron Interference Missiles, at the Meteorite Cluster.
Using their backup power systems, the Meteorite Cluster opened secret missile silos and fired missiles. Their missile barrage also contained their strongest weapon: Super Nuclear Explosion Missiles.
Both sides' missile barrages also included anti-beam particle missiles and Tactical Nuclear Missiles.
The missiles from both sides crossed paths or collided, erupting into clusters of fiery explosions.
The Super Nuclear Explosion Missiles detonated a step before the anti-Neutron Interference Missiles. The rippling shockwaves from their explosions caused the other missiles in their path to explode one after another.
Although the anti-Neutron Interference Missiles detonated immediately afterward, their interference waves affected the spreading shockwaves of the Super Nuclear Explosion Missiles.
The shockwaves were suppressed within a certain range,
