The mechanical voice was, of course, Jin Shan. At this moment, the six ships were in a linked state, meaning they were operating as a unified command. Naturally, this capability was present in the flagship, the Seagull-Class Space Battleship, but with Jin Shan's assistance, this early warning function had been significantly enhanced.
The linking of the six ships meant that all early warning information could be shared among them. In an instant, a variety of information gathered on the three-dimensional display screen in front of Ye Yu.
The vanguard forces of the Wavebreaker Legion were already within striking distance. Ye Yu dared not delay for even a moment, swiftly operating the controls on the three-dimensional display. The screen rapidly switched between various data, dazzling to behold.
Suddenly, Ye Yu waved his hand, and the virtual three-dimensional screen vanished. Touchscreen buttons appeared on the control panel before him.
"Wasp One! Fire missiles at the three o'clock position!"
"Wasp-Class Support Ship! Fire missiles at nine o'clock!"
"Swift-Class Support Craft, three units, immediately ascend and attack straight ahead at one o'clock!"
Ye Yu's commands were rapid, almost instantaneous. Just as he finished his second command, Wasp One had already launched its missiles, five bright red trails cutting through the dark starry sky.
As an Interstellar Missile, its greatest advantage lay in its ability to move erratically at high speed. Thus, even though Laser Beams traveled nearly at the speed of light, they could not easily intercept such missiles!
Just as Ye Yu paused his actions, twenty more missiles followed closely behind, shooting toward the target ship. In space, without air resistance, the missiles accelerated rapidly and transformed into irregular trajectories aimed at the target group in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded inside Ye Yu's ship. At the same time, the mechanical early warning voice echoed: "Locked on by enemy Laser Beam. Activate energy shield!"
"Buzz—"
Just as the warning echoed in the air, Ye Yu and his crew's spaceship suddenly rippled, sending waves outward like sound waves. Soon, a series of differently colored energy shields enveloped their ship, resembling an eggshell protecting the egg inside.
"Zzzzz—"
At that moment, as the energy shield successfully covered their ship, dozens of Laser Beams crossed an unknown number of miles and struck the energy shield!
In an instant, the energy shield shook violently, appearing as fragile as leaves swaying in the wind, despite its seemingly solid form.
The primary function of the energy shield was to deflect incoming Laser Beam attacks; however, it simultaneously consumed a significant amount of its own energy. This was why battleships typically refrained from activating their energy shields before engaging in combat, aiming to conserve the energy stored within. Although the density of Energy Crystals was already quite high, it still could not meet the consumption rate!
Suddenly, Ye Yu noticed a flash in front of him, followed by several dazzling sparks flickering not far away. It was the explosion of Interstellar Missiles; however, this was not due to them hitting the Wavebreaker Legion's ships. Instead, it was because several missiles had been intercepted under the barrage of Laser Beams from the enemy! The remaining missiles were still maneuvering erratically, attempting to close in on those Wavebreaker Legion ships.
"Boom boom boom—" In space, sound does not travel, but Ye Yu seemed to hear the explosions. In the blink of an eye, several more missiles were destroyed by the enemy's Laser Beams! As a result, out of twenty-five missiles launched, more than half had been intercepted!
A hint of panic flashed across Ye Yu's face. Each starship in this type carried only twenty missiles, and his had slightly more at thirty. Just moments ago, apart from Ye Yu himself who had fired five missiles, the results were minimal—this was definitely not a good outcome!
"Their formation is breaking; you can take this opportunity to eliminate a few battleships!" At that moment, Ye Yu heard Jin Shan's voice in his left ear. This was a dedicated communication channel for Ye Yu from Jin Shan that others aboard their battleships could not hear.
Ye Yu waved his hands, and a massive Star Map immediately appeared before him. He could see that the originally orderly and imposing Wavebreaker Legion battleships had become somewhat disorganized due to his recent missile attack. After all, the trajectories of those missiles were quite tricky; these battleships had no choice but to break formation to avoid being hit.
Fighters are fleeting; only a few seconds had passed since then, yet almost all of those missiles had been intercepted—only one missile managed to strike an enemy ship!
"Increase speed!" Ye Yu thought resolutely. Regardless of the danger, control of the ship was currently in Jin Shan's hands; Ye Yu was primarily responsible for issuing commands.
As Ye Yu's voice fell, an immense force materialized from nowhere, causing him to stagger and nearly fall. If it weren't for his quick reflexes, he would have truly embarrassed himself.
"Wasp 1, form a dual formation with the Wasp-Class Support Ship, with both acting as lead ships!"
"Three Swift-Class Support Crafts, immediately form a tri-formation, with Swallow 1 as the lead ship!"
Ye Yu swiftly issued commands; he needed to intercept the enemy's offensive as quickly as possible. If the enemy got too close to the Withered Source Star, it would undoubtedly be in grave danger. After all, high-altitude attacks held a significant advantage.
"Captain..." At that moment, a voice rang in Ye Yu's ear; it sounded like Liu Qi's. Ye Yu recalled that he was piloting Wasp 1!
"Follow orders!"
Ye Yu dared not show any hesitation and charged forward. When facing the enemy's superior forces, one had to strike first; otherwise, once the enemy gained momentum, the weaker side would have little chance of recovery.
The speed of the Seagull-Class Spaceship was under Jin Shan's perfect control. Just after accelerating, the ship began racing toward the enemy at an even faster pace. In mere moments, they were already close to the opposing formation. At this moment, data from the Power Cabin flashed rapidly before Ye Yu's eyes; he knew these were flight parameters from the Power Cabin. However, he had no time to react; even the ship's built-in System couldn't guarantee absolute precision.
Suddenly, Ye Yu felt a blur before his eyes as over a dozen Wavebreaker Legion Battleships hovered around him. He had now reached the center of the enemy formation! Death loomed at any moment!
