Modular warships have many advantages. Flying together saves more energy and is easier to configure flexibly during combat. However, the requirements for the materials and craftsmanship of the warships are very high.
After conducting research, the Douluo Federation finally rejected the research and development direction of combined battleships because the cost of combined battleships was too high. With the same materials, it would be more efficient to use them to build mothership-class battleships.
The warships of the Tianhe tribe are actually this kind of expensive combined warships. No wonder their warships are all unified, it turns out that they can be split into small warships.
The hundreds of warships that were split off were smaller than the Meteor-class attack ships, but much larger than the reconnaissance ships. They quickly dispersed and spread across the surrounding star fields, guarding the hundreds of Tianhe warships in the center that had obviously shrunk in size. This was clearly playing the role of outer protection.
The next moment, the front of the Tianhe warship began to slowly split open, and inside the cracked triangular tip, a huge gun muzzle was revealed. In the muzzle, a blue-white light was faintly visible, and the muzzles of five of the warships became noticeably brighter.
Oh boy, the main gun is charging!
Lan Xuanyu and his men ran faster. Use warships to attack the Crimson Realm directly. Can the Crimson Realm absorb this level of energy
At this time, the Crimson Domain in Tianhe Star also seemed to feel the threat from space. The shuttle-shaped Crimson Domain began to deform rapidly and shrank inwards. Its volume was one-third smaller than before. At the same time, the shuttle shape turned into a shield shape, and the surface was dark. It no longer continued to spew out Crimson Domain creatures. The Crimson Domain creatures that had been spewed out did not return, but continued to attack in all directions. However, those Crimson Domain strongmen had quickly returned to the interior of the Crimson Domain and disappeared inside.
“Buzz——”
The space shook violently. In space, five blue-white beams of light fell from the sky, piercing through the atmosphere in an instant, descending quickly, and blasting towards the Crimson Realm.
Everyone was looking at the scene in front of them. Using warships to bombard a planet is a very rare situation in the universe, especially bombarding one's own planet. It is conceivable how angry the top leaders of Tianhe Star are at this moment.
The imperial palace that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years was destroyed, with heavy casualties. The planet's life energy was being devoured by the enemy, so they launched a bombardment of their own planet at all costs.
“Boom——” On the surface of the crimson domain, large crimson ripples bloomed. The five huge blue-white light pillars, each with a diameter of more than 100 meters, slammed into the crimson domain, bursting out with dazzling light.
Everyone watching this scene held their breath. Whether the battleship's attack could cause damage and damage to the Crimson Realm was crucial to this war.
The shield-shaped crimson domain obviously shrank a bit, and the next moment, a depression appeared on the surface of the crimson domain. These depressions turned into vortices, madly devouring the energy of the blue-white artillery fire, and the crimson domain became brighter.
The whole process lasted for several seconds. The earth shook, the space was trembling, and the power of the Tianhe battleship's main gun gradually dissipated.
The Crimson Domain returned to calm, and there was no movement. However, if one used divine sense to sense, one would find that the dark red air currents on the ground of Tianhe Star stopped spreading at this moment. And inside the Crimson Domain, it seemed that something was moving, and the energy fluctuations became obviously more intense.
Indigestion? This was the first word that came to Lan Xuanyu's mind. Judging from the energy intensity, the power of the Tianhe battleship's main gun was extremely terrifying, and it was definitely not inferior to the power of the Douluo Federation battleship's main gun. With such explosive energy, even the Crimson Realm could not swallow it up instantly.
Looking down from space, it is natural to judge that the Crimson Domain has stopped expanding. In other words, the attack just now has a certain effect.
The next moment, in space, the main guns of the ten Tianhe warships began to charge, and the second round of doubled attack was about to follow.
However, at this moment, a red light suddenly burst out from inside the Crimson Realm, and then huge dark red light beams shot out and headed straight into space.
Fight back
The Tianhe fleet reacted very quickly, and it was obviously a well-trained fleet. The small Tianhe warships on the periphery quickly ejected blue light, which intertwined into a huge light net in the air, blocking the front of the Tianhe warships.
The dark red light column that rushed into space was stopped when it hit the light net.
However, these dark red lights did not dissipate after colliding with the light net. Instead, they turned into giant beasts over a thousand meters long, which fiercely tore the light net apart.
These giant beasts looked extremely ferocious and terrifying, with huge bodies, like giant centipedes. The most terrifying thing was the pair of mouthparts in front, which were hundreds of meters long and extremely sharp, and could even bite off the light nets transformed by energy.
These centipede beasts were still spewing thick dark red mist, which actually had the effect of corrosive energy. More than thirty centipede beasts were instantly sprayed into space, and they were biting frantically, and the light net of the eye defense could no longer block it.
Of course, the Tianhe Fleet would not watch the enemy attack them. A series of blue and white artillery fire burst out, attacking the centipede monster.
But these centipede monsters are very cunning and have a strong predictive ability. They split their backs, spread out their six pairs of wings, and flew quickly in space, avoiding most attacks and continuously attacking the Tianhe fleet from the periphery.
This kind of centipede monster has never appeared in previous wars. It is undoubtedly a new creature from the Crimson Realm.
This is something comparable to a battleship. From Lan Xuanyu's perspective, this is simply an ecological battleship, and one with autonomous consciousness.
However, in terms of numbers, Tianhe had more warships. Hundreds of warships had been mobilized, some fighting the centipede monsters, while others fired fiercely downwards, continuing to attack the Crimson Realm.
Suddenly, the sky was filled with gunfire. The terrifying energy fluctuations caused the surface of Tianhe Star to vibrate violently, and the Crimson Realm felt a little stretched for the first time.
Soon it was discovered that the Crimson Domain did not devour all the artillery fire that fell from the sky. Some of it was devoured, while some was blocked by itself, causing a large amount of energy fluctuations. Obviously, even the Crimson Domain could not completely devour this explosive energy, at least not in a short period of time.
The giant centipede beasts in space are quite powerful, but most importantly, they are extremely flexible. The dark red mist they spew out can refract light, preventing the Tianhe warships' artillery fire from hitting them.
However, the strength displayed by the Tianhe warships has greatly surpassed those of the Longma Federation in the past. The Tianhe fleet is definitely the strongest fleet of the Longma Federation at present. Its powerful firepower has temporarily suppressed the Crimson Domain. Although those centipede beasts have not been destroyed for the time being, they cannot rush into the defense circle of the Tianhe fleet. For a while, the two sides fell into a stalemate.
Lan Xuanyu and his men had already retreated far away. They could clearly see the situation at the moment. They were deeply impressed by the strength of the Tianhe Fleet. For such a fleet, the Douluo Federation would need to send at least two space fleets to contain it, and three space fleets to have a greater chance of defeating it. However, it would be difficult to completely annihilate the opponent, and this was still under the suppression of the mothership.
