The Sky Fell

New America Star was invaded so suddenly that it caught everyone completely off guard, without the slightest warning.

The envoys from the two countries had still been discussing the establishment of a bank with New America Star. Yet before those envoys had even departed, the invading fleet had already warped in!

The Fourth-Tier Civilization's Warp Interference Device had not yet become widespread, which had allowed this long-brewing operation to retain its suddenness.

New America Star's warships were exceptionally advanced. With black technology surpassing their own civilization's level, they had already mastered warp attack technology.

The fired physical warheads could warp while locking onto their targets. In space, their attack speed was far greater than that of the electromagnetic and laser weapons most commonly used at their current level.

Yet when they were ambushed by an advance warp attack, this greatest advantage of striking first had failed to manifest.

The first enemy fleet to warp over had all sent signals and registered in advance under the guise of commercial cargo ships.

It was currently the "honeymoon period" of the three-way meeting, and with news of the imminent establishment of the Joint Bank, a sudden increase in the number of cargo ships was entirely understandable.

But no one had expected the first wave to consist entirely of warships with the same specifications as cargo ships!

After being caught completely off guard by this first wave, they had been unable to effectively strike the reinforcements that warped in afterward.

Otherwise, by gaining the initiative in detecting the enemy, they could have used the warp fluctuations to launch a fatal attack the instant the enemy warships appeared.

As a result, all their initiative and all their advantages had vanished.

The greatest advantages of defensive warfare and superior warship quality had both failed to come
