So, as long as all the Proto Dragon Crystals were running normally and releasing energy, it wouldn't arouse suspicion from the Celestial Dragons. That was why this method was chosen. At the same time, by using the energy filtering conduction system, the energy inside the dragon crystals could be separated and used without waste. The energy that was separated was pure energy, and the Celestial Dragons' spiritual power depended on the existence of the dragon crystals.
Therefore, during this period of time, the Federation had been doing this all along. The energy of the dragon crystals was still being used, and even the mining of the Dragon Source Star had not stopped. Instead, it had increased. However, after the mining, the dragon crystals were transported to a resource star for energy separation and filtering, forming a pure energy storage.
Therefore, although it had been more than two months since the war was first discovered, the Douluo Federation had been preparing intensively during these past two months.
But they couldn't wait too long, for fear of being discovered by the Celestial Dragons, so they chose to launch the attack at this time.
The third, fifth, and seventh cosmic fleets simultaneously launched, and the Source Crystal Plan was officially launched.
At this time, not only was the seventh fleet in a state of remote siege, but the situations of the third and fifth fleets were also the same.
Everyone was waiting, and the Dragon Horse galaxy was also waiting for an opportunity to enact their plan.
What Lan Xuanyu didn't know was that for this war, the War G.o.d Temple spared no effort, and Shrek Academy, the Spirit PaG.o.da, and the Tang Sect also mobilized a large number of powerful people to secretly infiltrate the three major fleets and guard every metal room storing Dragon Source Crystals.
The determination of the Douluo Federation to launch this war far exceeded the expectations of the Dragon Horse galaxy.
Yan Xinghe's smile had disappeared from his face at this moment, becoming very serious. He held a communicator in his hand and put it to his ear, waiting quietly.
As time pa.s.sed, half an hour had already gone by. The artillery fire from both sides was only occasional, and the war had not yet fully unfolded.
Just then, Yan Xinghe's face changed, and he suddenly shouted loudly, "Turn off the thrusters, turn off the predetermined energy release. Close the protective s.h.i.+eld by 70 percent. Turn off the predetermined lighting system and only maintain the holographic projection."
Suddenly, the entire command center dimmed, and the Dragon Three wars.h.i.+p shook slightly and began to slow down. From the holographic image, one could see that the propulsion thrusters behind the wars.h.i.+p suddenly dimmed, and only some parts of the wars.h.i.+p's surface still had energy release, with flickering lights.
Moreover, through the holographic projection, it could be seen that the entire Seventh Fleet suddenly became chaotic. Many of the main thrusters on the wars.h.i.+ps were shut down, but some were still functioning. For a moment, the s.h.i.+ps could no longer form a neat formation, and some even collided with each other.
The overall protective s.h.i.+eld's glow diminished. For a moment, everything fell into chaos.
Inside the crystal storage rooms of each wars.h.i.+p, almost all of the dragon crystals lost their light and stopped emitting energy at the same time. The guardians who were protecting the crystal storage rooms all stared firmly at the dragon crystals in front of them, sensing their changes.
As the fleet fell into disarray, the nearby fleet from the Dragon Horse Galaxy rushed over from all directions.
The Crystal Plan was officially enacted.
This was the crystal plan belonging to the Dragon Horse Galaxy, and it was also the crystal plan belonging to the Douluo Federation.
As the enemy wars.h.i.+ps approached closer and closer, on those wars.h.i.+ps belonging to the Dragon Horse galaxy, the light around the main gun barrels grew increasingly intense, clearly charging up. Lan Xuanyu couldn't help but say to Captain Yan Xinghe, "Captain, isn't this kind of baiting too risky? Our defense may not have enough time to activate! Even if we can launch soul cannons, if our protection isn't raised in time, we may both suffer heavy losses." Charging the s.h.i.+eld required time, and only with enough time could it be activated to its maximum capacity and produce the strongest protective effect.
Yan Xinghe glanced at him and a strange smile appeared on his face. "You underestimate our conspiracy too much."
They drew closer and closer, and it was clear that the wars.h.i.+ps from the Dragon Horse galaxy were about to enter attack range.
At that moment, a burst of fire suddenly lit up on the holographic projection, yes, a burst of fire. An enemy wars.h.i.+p that was charging towards them and was relatively close suddenly exploded without any reason. The explosion of fire was like a fuse, and in the next instant, a brilliant fireworks display, like a s.p.a.ce halo, suddenly burst open. R
The terrifying explosion almost instantaneously enveloped a large number of the Dragon Horse Galaxy's wars.h.i.+ps. From the holographic projection, it could be seen that, with the Seventh Fleet's wars.h.i.+p group at the center, a brilliant halo exploded around the Seventh Fleet, just within the range of the maximum firepower attack.
The terrifying explosion instantly engulfed a large number of the Dragon Horse Galaxy's wars.h.i.+ps. The explosion was too violent, and for a while, it was impossible to see how much damage the Dragon Horse Galaxy's wars.h.i.+ps had suffered.
"Destroy the Dragon Source Crystal. Open all protective s.h.i.+elds and full thrust." Yan Xinghe immediately ordered.
Meanwhile, General Bai Ling's face appeared again on the communication screen. "All troops, engage in free combat."
"Dragon Three, roger. Dragon Three, move out." From the holographic screen, it could be seen that four Dragon King-cla.s.s escort s.h.i.+ps were the first to take action. The previously extinguished tail flames were all activated, and the protective s.h.i.+elds were re-ignited. The Dragon King-cla.s.s escort s.h.i.+ps were accompanied by their three War G.o.d-cla.s.s wars.h.i.+ps, as well as a large number of Meteor-cla.s.s a.s.sault s.h.i.+ps and Meteor-cla.s.s reconnaissance s.h.i.+ps, flying in one direction. The four escort s.h.i.+ps flew towards four different directions, while the flags.h.i.+p remained motionless, sitting in the center.
Lan Xuanyu finally saw the main cannon of the flags.h.i.+p. At the front end of the flags.h.i.+p, a huge gap slowly opened up. It was a flat-shaped cannon with a width of over three hundred meters. The giant sphere on the flags.h.i.+p lit up. Countless light converged at the main cannon, displaying white, then yellow, gradually turning into orange.
A deep sense of fear arose from the bottom of their hearts. And at the defensive line where the main cannon was aimed, there were no wars.h.i.+ps from the Seventh Fleet flying.
"Take a look at the strongest weapon in our federation, capable of destroying a planet. With the current situation, it only needs to exert 30% of its power at most. There's no need to charge it for too long."
Just as Yan Xinghe was explaining to Lan Xuanyu, a bright orange light burst out, and the flat light instantly covered the area, then the flags.h.i.+p slowly swept across. One third of the range within the encirclement was swept away by it. Within that range, whether it was the previously exploding artillery or the wars.h.i.+ps of the Dragon Horse galaxy, after being swept by the orange light, they seemed to have never appeared before, and their aura was extinguished in an instant by one third.
Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt suffocated, and he understood why Yan Xinghe had said that 30% power was enough, because 30% power was enough to annihilate all enemy wars.h.i.+ps in this direction. At this time, the four fleets led by escort s.h.i.+ps had already rushed towards the other four directions.
Countless sh.e.l.ls began to pour out.
From the previous big explosion, combined with the firing of the main guns, in this short period of time, nearly half of the thousands of wars.h.i.+ps in the Dragon Horse Galaxy were destroyed.
There was no doubt that the odds of the battle had already tilted in their favour.
Lan Xuanyu was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Yan Xinghe's eyes became even brighter, "This is a great gift we are giving to the Dragon Horse Galaxy. Not only on our side, but also on the third and fifth fleets. They gave us Dragon Source Crystal, and we will give them a Source Crystal plan. Xuanyu, do you want to know what happened earlier?"
Yan Xinghe was visibly excited at this moment, even for him, it was an unprecedented victory. Lan Xuanyu quickly nodded in agreement.
