Inside the Pangu warship, the people in charge of several combat units were still in a virtual battle conference with Lin Yu, maintaining contact at all times.
"The three Dark Star Battleships are moving. They're opening hyperspace windows … They've left!"
Hearing Watson's report, Lin Yu's eyes lit up.
It was time!
"Now, I order the second phase of the battle to begin. Su Yan!"
"Understood, Commander!"
"Remember, you may only have 385 seconds!"
Lin Yu nodded his head and reminded him again.
This time was calculated by Lin Yu. It was the shortest time needed for the three Dark Star Battleships to realize that they had been tricked and return. It was not absolute time. It could be 500 seconds, 1,000 seconds, or even not return at all!
In short, they were safe within the 385 seconds range. Once they exceeded this time, they would be in constant danger.
Su Yan's mission was to break through the outpost and take control of the Neutron Warstar within 380 seconds!
Su Yan led very few Dark Star Battleships, only ten.
After all, Dark Star Battleships were not very useful in this battle. They mainly relied on mechas and Universe Knights.
Moreover, one of the Dark Star Battleships was unmanned!
"Zero Battleship has locked onto the predetermined coordinates. Activating hyperspace engine … Activation successful. Entering hyperspace!"
Less than three light-years away from the Neutron Warstar, ten Dark Star Battleships were lurking there, as if they had become one with space.
One of the Dark Star Battleships did not have a single crew member on it. It was completely controlled by other Dark Star Battleships!
Although it could not carry out detailed and comprehensive combat operations, some simple mechanical operations were not a problem at all.
At this moment, the unmanned Dark Star Battleship suddenly moved and opened a hyperspace window. Then, it quickly flew into it.
More than ten seconds later, the outpost where the Neutron Warstar was located suddenly changed!
A vortex-shaped hyperspace window appeared out of thin air, even including a small area at the edge of the outpost.
Suddenly, as the hyperspace window opened, the area at the edge of the outpost that was touched instantly turned into nothingness, as if a bite had been bitten off, revealing the passage inside.
Then, a Federation Battleship quickly flew out of the hyperspace window and arrived at the outpost.
"Report, the entrance has been successfully opened. It did not affect the gravitational barrier at the center of the base. It's safe!"
Three light-years away, in the bridge of the assault formation's No.1 ship, the adjutant was excitedly reporting to Su Yan.
This was also the reason why an unmanned warship was needed!
After all, neither Lin Yu nor Li Lizi knew the internal structure of this outpost. Although they could use the hyperspace window to accurately open a gap in the enemy's outpost, it was impossible.
However, no one could guarantee that after destroying a part of its structure, the gravitational barrier in the center would not be damaged.
If the gravity barrier was gone, then the entire assault squad would be instantly destroyed by the super gravity of the neutron star.
Therefore, the warships that went out first to open the landing port on the enemy's outpost had to be unmanned. Only after confirming that it was safe would the rest of the warships move forward and launch the real assault!
If there were any special defenses on this outpost, the Zero Spaceship would not be able to open the landing port, or the opening of the landing port would cause problems with the outpost's gravitational barrier.
Then, the entire battle would be stopped!
"Alright, ships one to nine will depart immediately. Hurry!"
After confirming that it was safe, Su Yan immediately gave the order to depart.
It should be known that in the entire second phase of the battle plan, the safe time was less than 380 seconds. Now, there were only 362 seconds left. Not a single second could be wasted!
At this time, the entire outpost was in a mess!
"What's going on? Report the situation immediately!"
Bai Yu quickly walked into the control room of the outpost and yelled.
"Commander Bai Yu, an unknown warship suddenly appeared. It seems to have collided with the outpost, causing serious damage to area E61!"
"Impossible, we have this spatial shield active all day long. You're telling me that it was hit and that it was seriously damaged?"
Originally, this outpost was not equipped with a defensive shield. It only had a large gravitational barrier generator and a medium-sized gravitational barrier generator.
Among them, the medium-sized generator was located in the center of the outpost and was used to isolate the neutron star's berth.
The large generator was used to envelop the entire outpost to prevent the neutron star from attacking or returning and causing damage to the outpost before it entered the berth.
As for the spatial shield that Bai Yu mentioned, it was something that the Fire Empire had created on their own. It was not a defensive measure that came with this outpost.
Now, Bai Yu felt that it was ridiculous. If you told me that we were attacked by a fleet and then broke the spatial shield, I would have believed you.
But now you're telling me that we were hit by a warship?
Did you really think that the spatial shield was made of paper?
"Show me the image of the collision location!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Soon, the image of the collision location was displayed.
"Hiss …"
Bai Yu looked at the image and sucked in a breath of cold air.
He saw a warship standing there motionless, but from the outside, there were no traces of the collision.
At the edge of the outpost, which was the area E61 in the report, a large piece had disappeared. It was as if someone had used a spoon to dig out a piece of ice cream.
Wait, the broken area was too flat. How could a collision cause such an effect?
"Commander, another nine unknown warships have appeared … Not good, they're releasing combat vehicles and are heading straight for the gap in area E61."
He stared at his subordinate and was about to give him a good scolding when the real bad news came!
"Not good, they're here to steal the neutron star!"
Bai Yu immediately understood what was going on. What was this about a lost battleship colliding with the outpost? Clearly, the enemy had used some unknown method to break through the Spatial Shield and opened a hole in the outpost's wall. Now, they had even sent an assault team to attack the outpost!
No, nothing must happen to the neutron star!
"Order all the guards in the outpost to immediately meet the enemy. Also, have the command team of the neutron warship meet me at the entrance of the battle star!"
"Yes, Commander!"
After giving the order, Bai Yu turned around and quickly ran out of the control room, heading toward the berth of the neutron star.
At this time, Bai Yu had thought it through very clearly.
As long as he entered the seeded battle star,no matter how much trouble the enemy caused, they would still be able to take down the entire outpost.
It would be useless!
