After receiving the Defense Force's report, Magras, who was leading the operation, contacted Dorak again. "Captain Dorak, we have taken control of all the weapons bays in the spaceports."
"Excellent! Well done."
Dorak looked over the Defense Force and Space Marines. Working together, they had completely secured both spaceports in just one hour. He was highly satisfied with their efficiency.
Dorak gave his orders in a deep voice. "I'll send you the coordinates that need to be bombarded. Have the spaceports bombard those locations!"
Magras looked at the coordinates Dorak had sent over and replied respectfully:
"Yes, Captain. I will commence bombardment of those positions immediately."
Now that they had successfully gained air superiority over the entire Provence System, they could bombard the three hive worlds at will.
They could first concentrate their firepower and mercilessly bombard the defensive positions on all three planets, causing the enemy's lines to collapse at once.
After such a fierce assault, sending down landing forces to mop up the remaining enemy troops would be effortless.
The three hive worlds within the Provence System were covered in countless defensive positions. These impregnable fortifications had all been carefully designed and jointly constructed by Seth, who had been in office at the time, and the senior leadership of the Planetary Defence Force.
The purpose was obvious: to resist a possible invasion by the Star Army.
Yet things had not gone as planned. At that moment, nearly every former high-ranking figure in the Provanse capital was imprisoned within the Inquisition, unable to escape.
The system's elite Planetary Defence Force soldiers had also marched out with the Imperial Combined Fleet to attack the Star Army. Unfortunately, they had ultimately left their precious lives behind in those twenty star systems.
For safety reasons, large warships would not approach planetary orbit.
