The Titan Ship Radiance cruised slowly at sublight speed, its Star Shield already deployed. A pale-yellow curtain of light completely enveloped the entire warship.
"Report: High-energy reactions detected at the Planet Fortress in the target area. Suspected cannon charging!" a radar operator quickly reported.
"It looks like the Tyranids are fully prepared~" Chief of Staff Gu Yue said, watching the several stars gradually brighten on the Holographic Projection. The Planet Fortress was charging its weapons. He couldn't help sighing, "Even a Starship would probably be picked apart if it charged headlong into this fortress system!"
Everyone present was an aristocrat from the Empire's upper echelons. Of course, none of them thought having a Starship meant everything would be fine. Even though the Tyran Empire's technology was far inferior to the Empire's, it still had weapons capable of threatening them.
"Bzzzt~"
As they spoke, beams of Star Annihilation fire suddenly shot toward them, pounding the Star Shield.
The shield, which had been shining brilliantly, rippled in layers under the Star Annihilation Beams.
The damage was negligible to the Star Shield. Once the beams faded, the shield's energy quickly recovered.
That was the Planet Fortress's defensive firepower. Its range was even greater than a Starship's, and as the distance between them closed, the fortress's accuracy would rapidly improve.
Major Qin Shaofeng quietly monitored the Starship's shield level. As soon as the first volley ended, a second followed. Having made its initial corrections, the second volley was even more accurate—a fact evident from the rate at which the shield level was dropping.
"The biggest problem posed by the Planet Fortresses isn't their defensive firepower. It's that the Starship will have to disperse its Warp Bubble and travel at sublight speed before it even enters the enemy's range," Chief of Staff Gu Yue said
