The Nuclear Torpedo streaked toward the flank of the battlefield, trailing a long, ghostly blue flame.
Once it had adjusted its course, it would shut down its main engine and coast toward its target.
This was the optimal approach Zero had calculated.
The reasons were simple.
First, there were too many sources of interference on the main battlefield.
Their scarcity meant they could only be used for decapitation strikes!
On the perilous main battlefield, this precious Nuclear Torpedo might well be intercepted by an Electromagnetic Cannon Projectile or a high-energy laser beam.
That was an outcome Lü Yongchang could not accept.
Second, it would conceal itself better.
During their war with the human fleet, the Proxima Centauri Civilization had developed the habit of focusing only on the main battlefield.
After all, electromagnetic cannons, laser beams, and even Ion Cannons-none of these conventional heavy weapons could turn.
With its main engine shut down, the Nuclear Torpedo's reflective cross section was even smaller than that of an Electromagnetic Cannon Projectile.
And with it approaching from the flank...
Lü Yongchang believed this Nuclear Torpedo would achieve results beyond anything they could imagine!
As the Nuclear Torpedo launched, the human fleet stepped up its firepower once more.
The Proxima Centauri fleet's Circumplanetary Defense Network and the interception screen formed by more than 5,000 starships were clearly no pushovers.
Although their "software" might have had a few flaws, their numerical advantage allowed them to intercept almost every Electromagnetic Cannon Projectile fired by the human fleet.
Only a handful of rounds slipped through the defensive network, inflicting negligible damage on the enemy homeworld or its starships.
Even so, the human fleet did not let up its torrent of steel!
One Glutton Supply Reserve Ship after another rapidly replenished the Third and Fourth Fleets' ammunition, ensuring that
