Chapter 152: Moro Fleet Destroyed!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“This is space!!”

...

“It’s my first time in the universe!”

On the transport ships, people crowded around the windows, peeking into the cosmos, and let out gasps of amazement.

In just four hours, over ten thousand transport ships brought nearly four billion people into space.

Approximately half of the population, either unwilling to come or unable to make it in time, remained on Blue Star.

Colonel Chu, aboard a shuttle, was continually coordinating, moving some people from one transport ship to another, to free up space for more pickups.

On the other hand, the last seven warships led by Seth had reached the second defense line.

Faced with the densely-packed enemy positions, Seth’s heart sank.

“They’ve set up another defense line…”

“Are we going to lose?!”

“No!”

Seth’s face contorted with determination, “We’ve put in so much effort, we can’t fail now!”

“Shuttle 5, full speed ahead, make a hole in this defense line…”

“Cruiser 8, return the way you came, eliminate all pursuers…”

“The rest of the warships, follow me, withdraw to a safe distance, wait for the defense line to break, that will be our moment of glory…”

At this point, Seth no longer cared about casualties, even harboring thoughts of self-sacrifice.

Even if everyone died here, as long as the mission was accomplished, he would be satisfied!

With that, Seth and four other warships quickly retreated to a safe distance, while Shuttle 5 and Cruiser 8 began their assigned tasks.

Shuttle 5, the fastest, reached the 30,000-kilometer boundary of the second defense line in no time.

“Captain, we can fire now. If we go any further, our chances of getting hit will be at its highest…”

“We can’t fire yet. Check how far away the command ship is…”

“250,000 kilometers…”

“Still within the blast range…”

“Wait a little longer and detonate when the command ship is 500,000 kilometers away!” Captain of Shuttle 5 commanded.

“Yes!”

In space, the first to unleash fireworks was Cruiser 8, sending over a thousand enemy warships to their doom.

For a moment, the entire cosmos was filled with the explosions of these ships. 500,000 kilometers is a significant distance on Earth, but in the vastness of space, it’s not much.

This dazzling spectacle of destruction didn’t lack an audience.

The bustling crowd aboard the ten thousand transport ships suddenly fell silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the spectacle of destruction so close.

“Are we going to die?!”

Someone asked with a bitter expression.

“I don’t know…”

“Mom, I’m afraid…”

Children, being particularly sensitive, were disturbed by the atmosphere, and cries rang out.

At this moment, everyone understood that humanity was teetering on the brink of annihilation.

Conspiracy theories, insurmountable past obstacles, none of that mattered now.

The only important thing was: Can we survive?!

“Don’t panic, everyone! Apart from the Martian defense line, there’s a second defense line 700,000 kilometers from Earth…”

“Do you see those flashing white lights?”

“That’s our laser defense system, targeting the enemy. Victory is ours!”

In this moment of crisis, Senator Zhou and others were continually comforting the public.

“Boom—!”

Just as people started to relax…

The second defense line, firing at the enemy, was abruptly torn apart.

“It’s over…”

Panic surged among the people once more.

“Success!”

Seth forced a smile and commanded, “All ships, follow me into battle!”

The remaining five warships charged into the gap in the second defense line.

When they nearly reached the defense line, thousands of enemy warships appeared, blocking their way.

“Commander, what do we do?!”

Seth fell silent.

After a moment, he ordered, “Battleship 6, you destroy them, the rest follow me and retreat!”

The plan was repeated.

Four warships retreated, leaving one to charge in.

Two minutes and twenty-three seconds later, another spectacular explosion annihilated Battleship 6 along with nearly five thousand enemy warships.

“Our ships… over five thousand destroyed…”

“What do we do?!”

On the transport ships, all of humanity was watching the frontline battlefield. Seeing so many of their warships destroyed, panic surged once again.

In the vastness of space, human eyes could see stars millions of light-years away, let alone a battlefield merely 800,000 kilometers away?

“Don’t panic, everyone! This war is being commanded by the Pangu people stationed on the moon. They have extensive experience in space combat and can definitely handle this…”

Once again, when Seth and the remaining three warships returned to the defense line, a despairing sight greeted them.

At the breach, another five thousand enemy warships had appeared.

It seemed like the enemy had an endless supply of warships.

Even more despairing was the appearance of enemy warships from all sides.

“We’re surrounded…”

At such close range, Zhao Yu had noticed Seth and wouldn’t allow the enemy to attack.

When the enemy repeated the same plan a second time, he ordered his remaining ships to depart and surround the enemy.

Thanks to large-scale electromagnetic interference from both sides, reconnaissance equipment was virtually useless. They had to rely on the naked eye. This allowed the encircling maneuver to be executed successfully.

Seeing enemy warships slowly closing in from all directions, Seth felt a chill in his heart and issued his final command.

“Everyone, charge!”

The four remaining warships, without fearing death, charged towards the sky-blocking fleet.

On Zhao Yu’s side, naturally, they wouldn’t let them come closer. Five thousand warships opened fire without any reservation, continuously attacking.

“Energy shield down to 50%…”

“Energy shield down to 30%…”

“Warning, energy shield down to 10%… Please replenish energy in time…”

The electronic voice kept echoing in their ears, but Seth just turned a deaf ear. If his command ship was in such a state, what about the other warships? “Boom!”

At that moment, the warship charging at the forefront couldn’t stand it anymore. It was hit by an attack like lightning and shattered instantly. “Keep charging!”

In a mere thousand kilometers, another warship was destroyed.

Before they died, none of them pressed that red button.

Everyone put their hopes on the command ship.

“Boom!”

The last warship shielding the command ship from a great amount of damage exploded.

“Warning, energy shield remaining at 1%, please abandon ship and escape…” “Beep beep beep—!”

The computer had already locked on an attack. According to calculations, when that attack hit the spaceship, it would be the moment of the command ship’s destruction.

“How far are we from the Earth now?!” Seth turned around and asked.

“780,000 kilometers…”

“We failed…”

Seth murmured to himself, watching that final screaming attack come in, and he slapped the red button.

“Boom-!”

Tens of thousands of besieging warships, at this moment, all became

sacrifices. Together with the Moro fleet, they turned into ashes.

At this point, except for the mothership, all the spaceships of the Moro fleet were destroyed.

(End of the second volume.)

Curl Tail concluded:

There are too many cosmic laws restricting us. It’s hard to write an exciting storyline. Even with my usual speed of updating 20,000 words a day, 1 could only manage 4,000 to 6,000 words a day for this book, which is somewhat disappointing.

In the third volume, ‘Defending the Solar System’, I will try to make the plot more exciting while staying within the bounds of reason.

Thank you for the support from all the reader friends.

I wish all the readers here good health, all the best, and may all your wishes

come true..
