"My lord!"
Ching-Lin strode into the main hall and bowed respectfully to report.
"Intelligence from the outpost monitoring fleet indicates that the new supreme commander of the Nova Empire has assembled and reorganized a large revenge fleet, which is heading towards Xandar and is expected to arrive in two days!"
Wenwu remained calm and composed, issuing the order, "I will not participate in this battle. You and Razor Fist will take full command of the engagement."
"Yes, sir!"
Ching-Lin's eyes were sharp, and his face was full of confident dignified air.
In the past month, the Ten Rings have completely taken control of the captured Nova Star Fleet and completed some major modifications and upgrades.
Coupled with the exclusive fleet of the Ten Rings, the Iron Legion, and the extraordinary super-powered warriors, their combat power crushes other interstellar forces of the same level!
Even without the intervention of the experts from the Tianshu Bureau, he and Razor Fist were confident that they could defeat the Nova Revenge Fleet head-on!
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Beyond the vast and boundless Xandar, an endless golden light suddenly appeared at the horizon!
A massive and menacing Nova Revenge Fleet has crossed the starry sky and is pressing in!
The warships stretched out in dense rows, layer upon layer, for tens of thousands of miles in the deep sky. All the cannons were fully charged and gleamed with a cold light, a chilling and awe-inspiring sight!
The immense fleet's imposing presence loomed over the entire starry sky; war was about to erupt!
Inside the bridge of the Nova mothership, the commander, high above, delivered a chilling warning that echoed across the public interstellar channel, reverberating throughout the entire Xandar:
"Invaders from beyond our borders! Surrender immediately, or our fleet will unleash its full firepower and crush you!"
However, what he received in return was the relentless bombardment of the Ten Rings Empire!
Buzz--!
In an instant, countless modified unmanned combat aircraft soared into the sky above the Xandar system!
Tens of thousands of brightly colored, highly concentrated beams of energy pierced the dark universe, crashing down on the Nova Revenge Fleet like a torrential downpour!
"Damn it! Counterattack! Tear them to shreds!"
The commander of the Nova Fleet flew into a rage and roared!
In an instant, thousands of main cannons of the Nova Fleet simultaneously erupted in dazzling fire!
A dense swarm of manned fighter jets surged forth like a swarm of bees emerging from the sea, overwhelming everything in their path!
The two fleets clashed, instantly turning the entire deep space into a hellish battlefield!
Endless artillery fire crisscrossed the sky, and massive explosions rose and fell in waves, constantly bursting across the starry heavens!
Flames soared into the sky, debris rained down, and shockwaves swept across the vast expanse of starry heavens—a scene of immense grandeur and awe-inspiring power!
Countless interstellar civilizations, hidden in the distant starry sky and watching the battle from afar, were all shaken to their core and filled with horror!
Everyone could clearly see that the mysterious force that had taken the initiative on the battlefield had deployed only unmanned combat aircraft!
They were all fearless and undaunted!
In contrast, the established top-tier Nova Empire still rely on traditional manned fighter jets!
Inside the Xandar Ten Rings Combat Command Center.
Wenwu looked at the Ten Rings unmanned combat aircraft on the battlefield through the all-domain monitoring screen and a faint smile appeared on his face.
The Ten Rings Empire values its population, and every warrior is an elite, never to be sacrificed as cannon fodder.
While remote control of unmanned combat aircraft has slight delays and its on-the-spot response is slightly inferior to that of humans, its advantage lies in zero loss and the ability to sustain high-intensity combat. Even if the aircraft is damaged, as long as the operator is safe and sound, it is a sure win!
At this moment, the surface of Xandar is peaceful, calm, and orderly.
Even as the outer reaches of space are engulfed in flames and fierce battles rage, the entire planet remains unharmed.
That transparent, dark purple defensive shield firmly enveloped the planet, isolating it from all interstellar fire and explosive shockwaves, remaining completely still and as stable as a rock!
"Find the enemy fleet's defensive weaknesses! Singularity Missile units, prepare! Break through the enemy capital ship's shields!"
Inside the command hall, Razor Fist's eyes were sharp as he gave a deep and decisive order!
Compared to six years ago, he has grown a lot. He is no longer the reckless man he once was. After becoming an imperial general, he has become extremely composed and studies very diligently.
On the battlefield in space, dozens of Vibranium fighters, having received orders, instantly accelerated, tore through the battle lines, and penetrated deep into the enemy fleet!
The fuselage bomb bay opened, and one after another, pitch-black Singularity Missile shot out into the air!
This is an interstellar weapon of mass destruction derived from the principle of Black Hole Grenade; once launched, it possesses an extremely strong autonomous gravitational field.
Once enemy intercepting beams and defensive artillery fire get close, they are all distorted and deflected by gravity, making it impossible for them to hit the projectile for interception!
Boom boom boom--!
Several deep, resounding booms echoed through the deep sky!
The first Singularity Missile accurately hit the defensive shield of the Nova capital ship!
The miniature black hole instantly exploded and took shape, its terrifying devouring power tearing through the shield barrier and blasting out a hideous hole with a diameter of fifteen meters!
The Singularity Missile followed closely behind, slamming heavily into the thick alloy hull of the ship!
The incredibly sturdy interstellar hull was instantly torn apart and pierced through, and the pitch-black black hole devoured the hull structure, onboard equipment, and nearby soldiers!
Then came the third, then the fourth, and this massive capital ship was instantly destroyed and crashed!
The piercing alarm and desperate screams instantly echoed through the Nova Mothership's communication channels!
"Dark matter weapons!! They've actually mastered mature dark matter weapon technology!!"
The Nova Fleet commander's pupils dilated in shock, and he screamed in disbelief and terror!
Although the Nova Empire also possesses dark matter extraction technology, the capture process is extremely difficult, resource-intensive, and highly dangerous, making it not worthwhile. Therefore, it has long abandoned its military applications.
To their utter surprise, these mysterious invaders had actually used the extremely expensive dark matter technology to mass-produce conventional interstellar missiles!
"All fighter jets, full speed ahead! Block the defensive line! We cannot allow them to advance again!"
The commander frantically shouted attempts to salvage the situation.
But it was all too late!
Razor Fist had already given the order: the entire elite fighter force, forged from Vibranium and Secondary Adamantium, was to be deployed!
Its extremely tough alloy body ignored conventional artillery fire and tore through the Nova Fleet's layers of blockade defenses!
Countless capital ships had their shields torn apart, hulls destroyed, and engines rendered useless by Singularity Missile!
A chain of explosions instantly engulfed the entire Nova Fleet formation!
One after another, massive capital ships exploded and crashed in mid-air!
In a mere moment, a full fifty Nova medium-sized capital ships were destroyed!
The Nova Fleet suffered a complete collapse, retreating in disarray, its formation utterly broken, and its morale utterly destroyed!
The tide has turned!
In desperation, the Nova Commander could only lead his remaining five wrecked capital ships, hastily change course, and flee the Xandar system at full speed in a panicked escape!
"We won! We won big!"
Inside the Ten Rings Command Center, all the generals stood up and cheered, their morale soaring and their blood boiling!
In this battle, they did not deploy any Iron Warriors, Super Soldiers, or members of the Tianshu Bureau. Relying solely on their fleet and unmanned combat aircraft, they directly crushed and routed the main revenge fleet of a top interstellar civilization!
A surge of immense confidence welled up within everyone.
So-called top-tier interstellar civilizations in the universe have combat capabilities that are nothing special!
Wenwu watched the interstellar battlefield come to an end and smiled calmly.
The interstellar civilizations in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, despite their impressive reputations and dominance over galaxies, actually have limited conventional combat capabilities.
If compared to the top-tier civilizations in the Star Wars universe who frequently destroy planets or annihilate across star systems, these so-called cosmic civilizations are still worlds apart.
This battle was merely the beginning of the Ten Rings Empire's conquest of the universe and its expansion across the stars.
