Chapter 1943: Solar rays
"The goods have been confirmed."
This batch of supplies is being transported to the battlefield of the JF-17 Thunder 015.
They're pressing hard; arrange the equipment and prepare to deliver it!
"Hurry up, can the ones in front hurry up a bit?"
We need to clear the airspace as soon as possible.
"I'm about to have 30,000 starships jump over here!"
On a spaceship, a soldier on leave sat in front of the mess hall, looking out at the unchanging scenery.
When you look at the universe, most of the time the picture looks the same.
But this is one of the few forms of entertainment they have now.
"Is this the thirteenth white hole today?"
This exceeds the previous average number of deliveries per day.
"I've heard that this will greatly increase operating costs." A soldier with a smoking straw in his mouth drew an extra horizontal line on the paper in front of him.
This is one of his pleasures; during his rest days, he stays here to record the number of times he travels to and from the white hole.
Of course, this is not as simple as just recording.
"Let's do it one more time, and I'll win our bet." The soldier grinned as he watched a few people playing a card game nearby.
This is a game of civilization in this world, and it's quite interesting.
Their conqueror civilization itself rarely had games, probably due to their war culture.
Therefore, most entertainment options originated from other civilizations.
These invaders had a hobby: collecting local games on each trip.
This card game is the game of this universe.
It's quite fun.
Everyone's been playing around these days.
However, he didn't really like this kind of game. Although you could place bets, it was too fast.
He likes slow-paced games.
It can take several hours.
It felt like waiting for a gift to unfold little by little.
His bet was how many batches of people would be stationed at the white hole each day.
Then everyone will also bet a little.
"Holy crap."
We're going to lose again.
I thought I had done well by betting five more times than before.
"I didn't expect there to be even more." someone shouted.
The man chuckled and said, "This isn't based on guessing."
What we need is data.
Recently, the higher authorities have been investing heavily in the battlefields of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire's home universe.
Each White Hole camp left only the necessary defensive forces.
This shows that the commanders are ready for a decisive battle.
Naturally, the number of times this white hole operates will also increase.
After all, this time our opponent is not the kind of person who would wave the white flag and surrender to us after a few fights.
It has to be said.
This Dragon Star Empire is really something else.
I've heard that Commander Black personally returned to our universe because of this.
They only received this batch of reinforcements after making a pledge to the God of Destruction.
If this battle plan fails, those commanders will be finished.
"We have no say in what happens above."
We're already pretty lucky to have gotten this task of guarding the rear.
We're just taking it one day at a time.
I know that the casualty rate on the front lines is quite high right now.
We should just stay here quietly.
"I won again, give me the money!" In the other card game, someone finished playing his cards and was laughing as he collected his winnings.
The others kept cursing and swearing.
I wonder how much of my salary I lost this time.
Another downside to this game is that you lose too quickly.
Some people might lose all their newly received salary within a few days.
"Hehehe, that's great."
This time when I go back, I can finally enjoy myself for a while longer.
"I wonder if we should go to Planet Hamia or the Pink Castle?" The winner was already fantasizing about the wonderful life they would have back home.
The places he mentioned were all dens of illicit spending.
After going inside, the money disappeared without me even realizing it.
I've heard that you can find beautiful women of all races there.
Oh no, I should say that both men and women can find it.
Many of them were still slaves. The space civilizations they conquered during those wars were won for nothing.
"But I wonder when we'll be able to go back."
At this moment, some people couldn't help but sigh.
Just then, the alarm suddenly went off.
The soldiers who had been eating, drinking, and playing around in the restaurant were stunned for a moment before they quickly dressed and ran to their posts.
Although they are on a shift system.
However, once the alarm is sounded, everyone must get into combat positions as quickly as possible.
"Damn it! What's going on? Why did the alarm go off at this time?!"
"Idiot, you're setting off the alarm now."
At this level of alert, the only possibility is an enemy attack.
"Enemy attack?"
This is our rear area.
How could there possibly be an enemy attack?
And does the enemy still have that many fleet groups they can mobilize?
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
At this point, they ran through a long corridor and could see the outside scenery.
They saw that the bubble defense matrix had been activated.
Upon seeing this defensive matrix, everyone knew that this was undoubtedly a surprise attack.
Because once this defense matrix is activated, the energy consumption is enormous.
Therefore, it will not be activated unless it is absolutely necessary.
In the distance beyond the bubble, one can see an overwhelming array of interstellar missiles and cannonballs from interstellar heavy artillery.
It fell like a meteor shower.
Fortunately, the bubble matrix provided defense, and only halos appeared on the surface of the bubbles.
They were all defended against.
After all, this is the defense of the White Hole Base; it's just for show.
"Damn it! What is that?"
Just then, someone with sharp eyes noticed something was wrong.
Among the opposing interstellar fleet, about ten enormous interstellar warships appeared. Their sheer size, combined with the glow of their engines, was striking.
At first glance, it looks like a planet with rings.
But have you ever seen a planet shining with the light of a star?
Now they have seen it.
Ten stars, like rays of light, converge at the front of these ten 'planet's'.
Anyone who isn't an idiot can tell what this is.
However, they are inside the bubble matrix, so there shouldn't be any problems.
The next second.
Ten beams of light, like solar rays, gave them the answer.
Their prized bubble matrix defense, with its layers of barriers, was pierced through in an instant by those ten golden beams of light.
The bubble matrix is still there, but now there are ten holes connected by ten lines at ten locations.
It looked as if it had been corroded by high temperature.
And the interstellar warships on this path are doomed.
As luck would have it, they were one of them!
