"Observation team reporting: Twin Stars forces have begun moving. An attack is imminent!"
"All units, disengage weapon safeties. Charge main cannons and target coordinates xxx, xxx!"
"Weapon launch channels cleared. Ready to launch at any time!"
"Combat personnel roster finalized. Weapon platforms 1-20 ready for battle!"
"..."
Under Codename's coordination, reports began pouring in. Three minutes later, a pitch-black vortex suddenly appeared in the void on the Solar System's side.
The Twin Stars offensive... had officially begun!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Twin Stars drones streamed out of the wormhole in a densely packed column. Once through, their tight formation of five abreast immediately fanned out like a flaring trumpet, with all the precision of an aerial display.
With almost no gaps between them, countless drones farther back continued streaming through the wormhole, spreading out in every direction!
"Open fire!"
The Earth Army's prepared weapons platforms opened fire one after another. The dense beams almost formed several solid corridors of light, all aimed straight at the wormhole!
Boom, boom, boom... A string of violent explosions carved a brilliant trail through the Twin Stars formation.
Within several kilometers of the wormhole, the drones were blasted to pieces by the dense barrage almost as soon as they appeared in the Solar System. Even those that escaped the danger zone were not entirely safe. Countless concealed mines formed a blockade, and unlucky drones struck them from time to time, becoming stars that shone for a fleeting instant.
Ignoring their enormous losses, the Twin Stars drones doggedly spread outward to cover their allies at the wormhole entrance behind them, while firing laser scattershots and explosive decoys ahead to clear as many concealed mines from their path as possible.
Small craft like these drones had no shields, and even massing together could do nothing to stop bombardment
