In the void, two fleets were locked in a fight to the death. One belonged to the Inari Radiant Empire, while the other belonged to the New Empire.
The Inari Radiant Empire fleet was at a disadvantage. Much of its combat capability relied on illusions, and if its enemies were unaffected by those illusions, its fighting strength would be severely diminished.
Unfortunately, the New Empire was no slouch when it came to radar detection. Even if the Inari Radiant Empire could deceive detection across ordinary radar bands, the New Empire fleet could simply switch to other electromagnetic bands—infrarred, ultraviolet, even gamma-ray bands. At worst, they could use gravitational waves.
To obscure every band and maintain it for a prolonged period required an enormous amount of energy. A mere Inari Radiant Empire fleet could not afford such reimbursement to the Spirit Realm. Even sacrificing the entire fleet would be nowhere near enough.
"Don't let them get away!"
"Stay on them!"
Inside the flagship bridge, the New Empire fleet commander issued orders to every ship. Large numbers of autonomous vessels raced around the gate's entrance and exit, sealing off the enemy's escape routes, while the other ships used gamma-ray cannons to strike the Inari Radiant Empire fleet at light speed.
This could be called the most satisfying battle the New Empire fleet had ever fought. Although the Inari Radiant Empire could also teleport, it did not have many mechs. Half its combat strength mainly came from the cannons mounted on its warships.
At the same time, they were staunch supporters of massive ships and massive guns. Their cannons had enormous calibers, and their warships were enormous as well. Although part of their interiors consisted of wooden structures, their overall size had expanded to rival Imperial battleships.
However, large warships meant a higher
