The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2017. It’s hard to escape even if you have wings.

Admiral Ive had no idea how he spent these 10 minutes, or maybe he was so sluggish the whole time that he didn't even know what happened in these 10 minutes.

2,000 fighter jets, this is not 2,000 flying insects. No, even if there are 2,000 flying insects flying around, they won't all be killed within 10 minutes, right?

However, this is what happened within these 10 minutes.

Countless drones flew out of the blood-red battleship, Wuyang Wuyang, and with super high efficiency, the battle was resolved in just 10 minutes. 2,000 fighter jets, all destroyed!

"This is impossible! Why are they able to do such a thing?" Admiral Ive gritted his teeth. He suddenly turned back and yelled at the adjutant, "Tell me, how on earth did they do it?!"

That's right, most of the 2,000 fighter pilots are elites, and their driving skills are top-notch. Faced with a huge number of drones, they can take advantage of the speed and firepower of fighter jets, slowly circle away from each other, and launch close-explosion high-explosive missiles to deal with these drones one by one.

The adjutant was also sweating profusely at this moment, and said quickly: "The detector has produced results, and the opponent's drones are too many! The number has reached... 100,000!"

"Such a small drone that is more than one meter long has no possibility of shaking the shield of our fighter jets! And how do they control so many drones!?" General Ive shouted.

What he said was very accurate. It was indeed these two questions.

What can this one-meter-long drone be equipped with to break the shield of the 21-meter-long fighter jet they are equipped with? Laser? The one-meter-long drone is not called a laser, it is called a water gun.

So launch a missile? How do you use the fire control radar to lock and guide a drone that is over one meter long? If the missile is guided by itself, how big of a missile can it be guided by itself and can it be launched by a drone of more than one meter? If we rely purely on warships for guidance, then why do we need your drone?

Finally, the most critical question. How are these 100,000 drones controlled? If it were remote control, 100,000 remote control signals would be crowded in the same airspace and would interfere with each other. At least half of the drones would be unable to move.

So what if it is remote control in groups, for example, 1,000 aircraft are grouped together for collective action? But the problem is that these 100,000 drones are so unified and coordinated in just 10 minutes, shooting down 2,000 fighter jets. How can it be a collective action of a large formation?

"We analyzed the sensor images... and confirmed that the opponent's drone used laser weapons, not missiles." The adjutant replied while checking the data.

10 minutes is too short. They don't know much about what happened on the battlefield.

"Asshole... 100,000 drones..." Admiral Ive was also sweating. He realized that if the other party could freely control these 100,000 drones without problems in control and communication, and at the same time, this kind of micro drones actually had weapons and equipment that could damage the fighter shields, then this would It can no longer be described by generation difference.

This is simply a technological gap between two different levels!

"Retreat. Get out of here." The voice of Senior Coordinator Gixtus came from his mind.

"Yes, my lord." Admiral Yves responded immediately. He said to the adjutant; "Let the heavy armored cruiser in front of me entangle the red battleship! The other battleships, prepare to retreat immediately!"

"yes!"

However, it was already a step too late... The 100,000 drones had already rushed over like locusts. There is no end in sight!

Countless plasma rays were shot at those 140 heavily armored cruisers. Even if the power of a single shot was limited, after dozens, hundreds, or thousands of irradiations, the shield capacity of those cruisers was visible to the naked eye. The speed decreases.

What's even more frightening is that even though the anti-aircraft firepower is unleashing a barrage, the drones don't care at all. They shuttled through countless explosions and hails of bullets, and then continued to attack.

These drones had obviously noticed that Gixtus wanted to run away. They did not waste too much time on the heavily armored cruisers. Instead, after firing a few lasers along the way, they headed directly towards the 230 warships behind them. Come flying.

Although Gixtus ordered a retreat, don't forget that before that, he ordered the entire army to attack! These 230 warships are currently divided into four groups, advancing at full speed into an attack formation, firing with all their strength, preparing to sink the blood-red warship in one fell swoop.

Under such circumstances, you ask them to start retreating? Then it must first turn with a very wide radius, and then wait for an opportunity to leave the battlefield. The most basic question is, to start a hyperspace jump, first of all, should your warship be oriented in the direction of the hyperspace channel? You start jumping in the direction of the planet. Are you planning to plunge into the projection of the planet's mass in hyperspace?

So the Grisk Hegemony's main fleet, which was turning hastily, ran into the incoming swarm of drones!

Countless plasma lasers immediately shot out like raindrops. Each of their battleships was surrounded by countless tiny laser beams. They looked extremely gorgeous, but were full of the aura of death.

"Those drone attacks are reducing our shields! The attack is effective!" the adjutant exclaimed loudly.

"Fire with full force from the close-in defense artillery! Get rid of them!!" Admiral Ive roared, "Hurry up and calculate, how long can our shield last?"

"This ship's shield can last for about 10 hours." The adjutant said, but his face was still livid, "But the shields of our other warships can only last for one hour at most."

The battleship they were on was a large 1,500-meter-long battleship, and as a flagship built specifically for the Grisk people, it naturally incorporated a large amount of the most advanced technology. You can't be shaken by these tiny drones, that's for sure.

But that's all, because there is only one flagship!

"Then don't worry about the other battleships! This ship retreats as soon as possible, and we must ensure the safety of Lord Gixtus no matter what!" Admiral Ive said loudly, "One hour... Fortunately, maybe other battleships will also have a chance to escape."

But will it be that simple?

At this time, the radar department shouted, "We are locked by the fire control system!! It is the Eternal super aircraft carrier in the distance, and they are targeting us again!"

"Hurry up and avoid it! Where is the high-speed battleship? Let them entangle the Eternal, and don't let it aim at will!" the adjutant said loudly.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw an extremely dazzling light flashing through, shooting directly through the three cruisers next to him!
