The intense radiation unleashed by massive amounts of matter-antimatter annihilation swept across the Enrojet Alliance's Border Defense Line like a tsunami.
The warships of the first echelon bore the brunt of it.
As the first ships tasked with resisting the enemy's assault, the first echelon of the Border Defense Line had a simple defining trait-high defense, low offense.
They were just like the Black Tortoise [Frigates] of the Human Fleet.
They had the thickest physical armor in the entire fleet, along with the most advanced and highest-powered Composite Shield generation systems.
In the simplest terms, they were pure damage sponges.
Under normal circumstances, they could provide excellent protection for the warships behind them-Laser Weapons struggled to penetrate their physical armor, while Antimatter Cannons and other weapons struggled to breach their high-powered Composite Shields.
The same went for radiation.
They could easily withstand the radiation damage caused by Antimatter Cannon blasts near their hulls, and could resist the intense radiation from Micro Black Holes to a certain extent.
But the current situation clearly went far beyond anything normal.
This was not a matter of one or two cannon blasts.
This was every Antimatter Cannon across the entire Border Defense Line detonating at once!
Like sharp arrows, the unimaginably powerful radiation pierced straight through the Radiation Shielding Layers of every warship in the first echelon!
Fortunately, with the first echelon acting as a buffer, the warships of the second echelon behind them did not suffer particularly severe radiation damage, preserving as much of the Enrojet Alliance's fighting strength as possible.
Unfortunately...
Even before the first head-on clash, the Enrojet Alliance's defensive forces had already suffered devastating losses.
At that moment, everyone in the Enrojet Command Center felt equally heavyhearted.
Every one of them gazed expectantly at the display ahead, ablaze with brilliant
