Less than a minute after the communication ended.
In the distant void.
Countless points of light suddenly appeared.
They were the Free Star Alliance's warships.
Emerging from warp jumps.
Two thousand warships.
Formed a dense formation.
And charged toward the Eternal Fortress.
The Eternal Fortress's alarms.
Immediately rang out.
"Alert! Alert!"
"Large numbers of hostile targets detected!"
"All warships, deploy immediately!"
Five thousand Consortium warships.
Rose from around the fortress.
And moved to meet the Free Star Alliance's warships.
The two sides met in the void.
Battle.
Erupted in an instant.
Boom, boom, boom-
Countless energy beams.
Crisscrossed the void.
Forming a vast net of light.
Missiles trailed fiery wakes.
As they darted between the warships.
The flames of explosions.
Lit up the entire Interstitial Space.
Warship wreckage.
Kept falling from above.
Some belonged to the Free Star Alliance.
Some belonged to the Consortium.
But the Consortium had more warships.
And fiercer firepower.
The Free Star Alliance's warships.
Began suffering casualties.
One ship, two ships, three ships.
Warships kept being destroyed.
Turning into fireballs.
And exploding in the void.
"The Free Star Alliance won't hold out much longer."
Su Li watched the battlefield.
Her expression grave.
"I know."
Lin Feng said.
"That's why I have to hurry."
He turned and walked toward the airlock.
"Wait here."
Lin Feng said.
"I'll be right back."
"Be careful."
Su Li said.
Lin Feng nodded.
He stepped outside.
Onto the ship's hull.
Then leaped.
And flew toward the Eternal Fortress.
Around the fortress at that moment.
All the warships had already deployed.
Only the fortress itself remained.
Along with a few defensive systems.
Lin Feng accelerated.
Before long.
He drew close to the fortress.
The defensive systems on the fortress's surface.
Immediately locked onto him.
More than a dozen energy cannons.
Aimed at Lin
