Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 468 - 458 Unparalleled Star Battle (7)

The Star Alliance Fleet, clearly moving faster than the Enslavers’ United Fleet, heeded Xu Lanzhou’s command and swiftly maneuvered to the right flank. Within a short period, all eight Strategic Fleet groups had repositioned behind the Enslavers’ United Fleet.

Great Emperor of Teizene, upon witnessing the movement of the Star Alliance Fleet, understood the opponent’s intentions. However, he realized this was a contest of endurance. The Enslavers would suffer heavy losses, yet without losses, there were no opportunities for victory.

Thus, an eerie scene unfolded on the battlefield. The Enslavers’ fleet furiously assaulted a few hundred vessels of the Star Alliance, while behind them, four thousand Star Alliance warships bombarded the Enslavers with relentless firepower.

It wasn’t just bombardment. At this time, the Star Alliance Universe Army also deployed a large number of Aviation Squadrons. In such a fighting environment, carrier-based aircraft were an extremely uneconomical method of combat, as dense fire could easily shoot them down. The loss would be immeasurable if they were piloted by humans.

But, it was undeniable that agile carrier-based aircraft could deliver weapons capable of damaging enemy shields in a more effective manner, as well as counter enemy fighters effectively.

While exposed to four thousand Star Alliance warships, Great Emperor of Teizene spared no effort in deploying about fifty thousand carrier-based planes, launching a surprise attack on the Star Alliance warships.

Xu Lanzhou lucidly stated, "The enemy intends to use these small carrier-based planes to draw our fire. To intercept them, we must commit secondary artillery and smaller firepower which could be used to effectively attack the enemy and inflict casualties. But if we are distracted with anti-air defense, the enemy fleet’s survival chances will increase."

Xu Lanzhou held nothing back either, sending all about 36,000 fighters from his Aviation Squadrons into the fray. Traditionally speaking, Iridium Star leaned more heavily towards this tactic, with Teizene primarily playing a supporting role, and the Benefactors barely even equipped with many carrier-based aircraft at all.

The Star Alliance fighters were mainly unmanned combat drones because at this juncture, Xu Lanzhou still didn’t want to lose too many valuable pilots. A small number of pilots could command dozens of fighters within an Aviation Squadron through the combat system, providing excellent cover for themselves amidst such a large number of enemy aircraft.

Taschwe piloted a sleek, silver-finished J-20Mega "Decisive Weilong" fighter, which was also the largest manned interstellar fighter in active service. Evolving from C country’s fifth-generation fighters to the EVO version of Iridium Star’s aerospace fighters, and now to the Mega version of interstellar fighters, the J-20 chassis was favored for its magical capacity for robust modifications and ultimately became the "Decisive Weilong."

Compared to the larger original Banshee Fighters, the "Decisive Weilong" J-20Mega was smaller, yet it boasted a more powerful energy core and two larger-caliber Gauss Railguns.

Taschwe, piloting the "Decisive Weilong," was like a sprite dashing through space, dazzlingly adjusting direction and posture amidst the dense artillery fire. With the help of advanced AI, the "Decisive Weilong’s" ability to dodge attacks was nearly at the pinnacle of its skill tree.

"Diane, let’s see who the real ace of the Universe Army is this time," Taschwe declared, knocking down two enemy aircraft as soon as he entered the fray and simultaneously challenging a handsome silver-haired Iridium Star pilot named Diane.

Diane didn’t take the brash Taschwe seriously, simply saying, "Among Iridium Star pilots, I’ve always been at the bottom. I was nearly discharged from the aviation force, so what if you can defeat me?"

Taschwe never believed Diane’s claim, feeling that the guy was deliberately talking up the pilots of Iridium Star to slap his own face.

"Hmph, no matter how many experts there are, challenges must be taken on one by one. At least within the Star Alliance Universe Army, the title of top ace will definitely be mine!" Taschwe looked at the dashboard of his cockpit where a photo of his daughter clutching a small dog was hanging, his heart brimming with fighting spirit.

"My daughter, your father will make you proud!"

Apart from his own competitive spirit, Taschwe was well aware that his daughter might not have the best impression of him, possibly due to the influence of her mother, but he still strived with all his might, hoping to do his best and make his daughter proud and excited to have one of the Star Alliance’s most outstanding pilots as her father.

Diane was still piloting a Banshee Fighter, rising from the tail end of the flight force to the most eye-catching ace in the Star Alliance Universe Army’s Aviation Troops; the effort he put forth was enormous. His flying style was like a carefree dancer, his flight trajectory like an elegant calligraphic painting, freeing any dare to approach the Beiluoshimen from the threat, only to be shot down directly by him.

Even now, Diane wasn’t like most pilots who are all-around tech experts. This ace had glaring weaknesses. He was skilled in aerial combat but not adept in attack and far from proficient in commanding aerial battles—areas where Taschwe excelled instead.

Diane, looking at the Beiluoshimen firing fiercely at enemy warships, could vaguely envision Commander Xu Lanzhou’s silhouette before his eyes. Having followed this female general, whom he admired and longed for, for so long, Diane, like Taschwe, had his own commitments.

"I won’t let any danger come your way!" Diane silently pledged in his heart.

Sometimes, a man’s affection is not about possession but about silently protecting the other without their ever noticing.

These two unparalleled geniuses of pilots performed a heart-stirring slaughter. When a large number of Teizene fighters attempted to bypass the defense line and attack the Star Alliance warships, the superior performance of Star Alliance fighters emerged, shooting them down outright.

Taschwe, controlling the Weilong in decisive battles, struck left and right, and enemy planes fell like flies. In aerial warfare, the immense disparity in systems became even more apparent.

Although the Teizene fighters had formations and tactics, compared to the Star Alliance fighters, which benefited from massive AI calculations to obtain optimal deployment schemes and excellent cooperative combat abilities, the Star Alliance Aviation Soldiers often played a much larger role.

Before even entering firing range, a massive number of fighters had already been shot down by the Star Alliance Aviation Troops under the leadership of Taschwe and Diane. Scattered ones that slipped through were either intercepted a second time or plucked from the sky by the fleet’s light weapons.

The Great Emperor of Teizene was also astonished; he hadn’t expected that these fifty thousand fighters would not tie down much of the Star Alliance warships’ firepower. The Universe Army and Silver Feather Army concentrated firepower from eight Strategic Fleets at an even more alarming rate, reducing the scale of the enslavers’ fleet.
