Chapter 348 339 Battle with Gigite (1)
Gigite Star, this pale blue planet was already on high alert. The Order Association had issued a warning to the Gigite civilization, and the Gigite civilization had gathered all its ships capable of engaging in battle. Yet, the number of ships that could truly be considered warships still did not exceed 300.
In the local bubble of this Great Star Zone, the small number of civilizations meant that many faced a lower risk of invasion. Civilizations like the Gigite, with no grand ambitions, simply did not maintain a particularly large military fleet.
The battle ships of the Gigite people had to have more than one-third of their area dedicated to aquatic zones to support the normal life of the Gigite people. This was clearly very adverse for the spatial design of the warships, as other civilizations could design various weapons, whereas the Gigite people had to allocate space for aquatic zones to sustain life.
Thus, the battle ships of the Gigite tended to have weak firepower and poor resistance capabilities.
Suddenly, a large number of Warp Bubbles appeared. This was the fleet of the Order Association, which, having hurried slowly, had finally arrived in the outer space of Gigite Star before the Teizene Fleet's arrival.
Many Gigite people, upon seeing the fleet of the Order Association arrive, were greatly exhilarated. In the eyes of the Gigite people, the Order Association symbolized justice in the Galaxy.
However, Caesar did not relax in the slightest at this time; instead, he grew more agitated.
The upright gorilla general continually scratched his fur, even though he wasn't actually itchy. He watched various previous battle reports of the Teizene on a liquid crystal screen, hoping to find some way to achieve victory.
"If there were anti-warp devices set up around the orbit of Gigite Star, we could at least move the battlefield outside the nearby space of Gigite Star, lessening the loss facing Gigite Star," thought Caesar, but this thought wasn't very helpful. Among the whole Order Association, only the Ape Planet Civilization had some research on anti-warp devices. But clearly, the Ape Planet Civilization would not place such high-tech products in an ally's home. Even if they were willing, it was too late now.
Commander Samalou, a capybara who had obviously grown somewhat gaunt, looked somewhat weary as he approached Caesar.
"General Caesar, I entrust everything to you. We Gigite people are not adept at fighting, but this is a war to defend our own planet. Even if it costs us our lives, the Gigite people will fight this battle to win!"
Haiwins, still not wearing Battle Armor but a silk robe, was not an outstanding military commander; thus, he would delegate the battle entirely to his trusted vassal general.
Sitting in the ecological room, Haiwins read a book and drank tea, completely unaware of the imminent battle, almost as if it were just an ordinary afternoon. He was enjoying a favorite book under artificial sunshine, and then preparing to cheat a poor creature, relishing a delightful afternoon tea.
General Caesar struck first; his fleet had been waiting for a long time, palms sweaty with anticipation, for those species that had sweat glands.
Dozens of different weapons from diverse civilizations were fired at the Teizene Fleet under a unified command.
The experienced Commander Aolans of the Teizene Fleet immediately gave the order, "Activate the Shield Array!"
No matter what, Shield Sharing Technology remained the Teizene Fleet's trump card. Very few civilizations could comprehend its essentials, and most cultures could do nothing but desperately cry when faced with the enormous Shield Array shared among over two thousand warships.
Although activating the Shield Array took some time, a barrage of shells hit the Teizene Warships, shaking some of their Shields and even shattering the shields of an unfortunate Escort Ship that had taken a direct hit from the main cannon of the Order Association Main Battle Ship. But within just over a dozen minutes, the Teizene's Shield Array had formed.
During this time, two smaller Escort Ships had been sunk by the Order Association Fleet, but once the Shield Array was fully raised, the attacks of the Order Association were completely ineffective.
From Aolans' order to the raising of the Shield Array, Caesar was unclear what the Teizenes had done. But he could clearly perceive that the shields of the Teizene Warships seemed to have strengthened, even making those weaker small ships impervious to their attacks.
"Charge!" Caesar bellowed, leading his flagship to charge first toward the Teizene formation.
But then, the Teizene Warships retaliated. Tons of ammunition and gunfire poured down like a torrential wave, pummeling the head of Caesar's flagship and immediately stopping its momentum.@@@@
