178: Chapter 178 The Prince is Enraged! He Orders a Full-Scale Attack!

Star Calendar Year 3728, on the border of the Human Star Domain, the void was completely ignited by fury and murderous intent.

Crown Prince Canglan Yao had personally sent his entire vanguard formation to their graves; twenty warships turned into stardust, and thousands of warriors had their souls return to the sea of stars. This extreme humiliation completely shattered his last shred of reason. Inside the command cabin of the wrath of canglan, shattered jade cups, overturned command consoles, and twisted metal panels all testified to the madness of this Crown Prince. Clad in gilded battle armor, his eyes blood-red, the violent aura emanating from his body nearly solidified. Every soldier in the three-thousand-strong Main Fleet could feel his hysterical rage through the command channel.

"Emperor Chen Fan! Dawn Empire! I will have you... wiped from existence!"

Crown Prince Canglan Yao's roar was like a thunderclap, exploding across the entire starry sky. He suddenly raised his hand, pointing at the core position of the Dawn Defense Line, his fingertips turning white from excessive force, and issued the kill order for the entire Cang Lan Fleet to swarm out: "All forces, listen up! All-out attack! Spare no cost, ignore formation, fire all main batteries on all warships, and crush everything before me!"

"I want to see the Dawn Fleet's shields shatter!"

"I want to see those nine Star Destroyers turned into scrap metal!"

"I want to see Odin Planet turned into a purgatory!"

"Those who disobey, retreat, or hesitate—execute them without mercy!"

"By your command, Your Highness!!!"

Three thousand Cang Lan interstellar warships erupted with violent engine roars simultaneously. Dark purple energy exhaust trails merged into a sea of death. The previously orderly battle formation completely collapsed, transforming into a boundless tide of aggression that swept over the Dawn Defense Line. Bow main batteries, secondary batteries, and ship-borne missiles were all activated. Dark purple energy light obscured billions of kilometers of starry sky. The density of the artillery fire, the ferocity of its power, and the sheer momentum were the greatest in the Canglan Empire's century of expeditions.

This was not a tactical offensive; it was a frenzied crushing under the weight of rage.

This was not a military confrontation; it was a barbaric massacre relying on sheer scale.

Crown Prince Canglan Yao stood on the command tower, watching the fleet rushing out like a tsunami, a sinister smile curling on his lips: "Emperor Chen Fan, so what if you wiped out my vanguard? I have three thousand warships and five hundred thousand warriors. Even if each of them spat once, they could drown your barbaric little nation! Under an all-out attack, your defense line, your Star Destroyers, and your soldiers will all turn into cosmic dust!"

He intended to wash away the shame of his vanguard being annihilated in the most brutal, direct, and violent way possible, fulfilling his arrogant claim of "destroying Emperor Chen Fan in a month."

In an instant, boundless dark purple artillery fire fell like a torrential downpour, carrying the momentum to tear through the void, slamming fiercely into the Dawn Empire's first defense line. An energy storm swept through the starry sky, stardust was vaporized instantly, and space rippled, as if the entire star domain were trembling under this barrage.

In the Dawn Fleet's command hub, the atmosphere was heavy to the extreme, yet there was no panic.

Commander Lei Meng, clad in gilded heavy armor, sat steadily at the command station, his eyes fixed on the violent artillery fire approaching on the light screen, his expression as firm as iron. He heard Crown Prince Canglan Yao's roar and saw the enemy's madness, but he still followed Emperor Chen Fan's orders, issuing commands with unwavering composure: "Main Fleet, all personnel deploy! Block all shipping lanes, space stations, and strongholds in the Dead Zone from the front, cut off the enemy's retreat, and implement a full-scale crushing! Maximize shield power, form a joint shield array, and take the enemy's first wave of fire head-on!"

A thousand Dawn capital ships closed in simultaneously. Silver-blue shields merged into a towering wall of light. Nine Flagship Star Destroyers took their place at the center of the formation, supporting the core Annihilation Shield, protecting the entire defense line within. This was the Dawn Empire's strongest defense system, the crystallization of human technology and the power of Star Warriors; even the violent volley of three thousand warships could not easily pierce it.

"Commander Ling Ye, flank and harass the enemy; do not engage head-on." Emperor Chen Fan's calm voice was transmitted to the Shadow Fleet.

Commander Ling Ye's figure completely vanished into the shadows of the stars. Dozens of stealth ships detached from the main formation like ghosts, avoiding the brunt of the enemy's fire, and infiltrated toward the flanks and rear of the Cang Lan Fleet: "Shadow Fleet, execute the harassment plan! Stealth infiltration, prioritize beheading the enemy leaders, command hubs, and anti-aircraft positions, open gaps, and disrupt their formation!"

Old Hu sat in the ground fortress, five million ground troops and one hundred thousand Stone Armor Race warriors stood ready. The fortress main batteries were all aimed at the starry sky, his voice resounding like a bell across the defense line: "Ground Legion, provide fire support! The skills we use for planetary landings, ground clearing, mining planet reclamation, and permanent occupation will be used to defend the nation today! Full coverage with long-range artillery, intercept enemy fire, and support the fleet! Every inch of land is worth an inch of blood; we swear to live and die with our homeland!"

Countless ground artillery shells rose into the sky, colliding with the Cang Lan Fleet's fire, exploding into a sky full of energy flames, relieving immense pressure from the fleet's defense line.

Commander Su Qingyue sat in the Flagship, the Research Center's battlefield scanning system, energy interference system, and information command system running at full speed. Her fingertips danced rapidly across the light screen, analyzing enemy firing trajectories, jamming enemy command signals, and synchronizing our battlefield data every second: "Emperor! The enemy's all-out attack has no tactics to speak of; their command chain is long and chaotic, and their formation is loose and full of flaws! The Research Center will provide full-process battlefield scanning, energy interference, and mothership support. We firmly hold the information superiority! The Star Destroyer formation's shields are stable and can withstand more than three full volleys!"

Aila held the Star Sea Myriad Races Seal, the logistics support hub running at full speed. The anti-matter ore, life crystals, and refined gold resources mined by the Grey Race were continuously sent to the front lines via interstellar transport ships. The energy and ammunition for every warship and every mecha were being replenished in real-time: "Emperor! The Grey Race is responsible for resource inventory, mining planet sealing, and logistics support. Front-line supplies are secure, and continuous combat capability is maxed out, ensuring our military can win when we fight, and hold when we win!"

Commander Ling Shuang piloted her war god mecha, hovering above the deck of the Star Destroyer. Sixty thousand Dawn Mecha stood by in synchronization, particle blades flashing with cold light, and the pressure of the war god swept across the battlefield: "Emperor, the mecha brigade is ready to assault the entire area at any time, tearing open the enemy's offensive tide and opening a breakthrough for the fleet!"

All generals performed their duties, all soldiers fought to the death, and all systems operated at full capacity.

Facing the Canglan Empire's all-out attack with three times the scale, the Dawn Empire did not retreat, did not fear, and met them head-on with the might of unification, the courage of an iron army, and the sharpness of Star Destroyers!

Boom—!!!

The violent dark purple artillery fire collided with the silver-blue joint shield!

Billions of kilometers of starry sky were swallowed by blinding light. The shockwave of the energy explosion spread in all directions. Stars trembled, nebulae collapsed. This was a collision capable of destroying civilizations; it was a power confrontation at the interstellar level!

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The artillery fire dissipated, and the light faded.

The Dawn Empire's joint shield array remained firm!

It had only dimmed slightly; the hulls were unscathed, and the formation was not in the slightest disorder!

Taking the first volley of three thousand warships head-on, zero damage!

This scene, transmitted to the command cabin of the wrath of canglan via real-time feed, caused the grimace on Crown Prince Canglan Yao's face to instantly freeze!

"Impossible!!!" He let out an incredulous roar, "Three thousand warships firing in a volley, and they couldn't even break the shields of a bunch of barbaric ants?! What kind of monsters are those nine Star Destroyers?!"

Anger, shock, and disbelief intertwined in his heart, making him even more insane: "Continue the attack! Don't stop the main batteries! Don't stop the volleys! I don't believe I can't shatter them! All-out attack! Keep attacking for me!"

The Cang Lan Fleet's artillery fire became increasingly violent, like a never-ending rainstorm, continuously slamming into the Dawn Defense Line.

But the Dawn Fleet remained steady, rotating shields, counter-attacking with artillery, keeping mechas on standby, and maneuvering the Shadow Fleet. Like a rock in a stormy sea, no matter how crazy the enemy was, they remained standing.

Emperor Chen Fan sat on the highest command throne of the dawn of light, clad in black robes with gold, his Star Warrior spiritual power enveloping the entire battlefield. He watched Crown Prince Canglan Yao's madness, watched the enemy's disorganized all-out attack, and watched his own iron army as stable as Mount Tai, a faint smile curling on his lips.

Crown Prince Canglan Yao's fury was, in his eyes, nothing but a cornered beast fighting.

The violent attack of three thousand warships was, in his eyes, nothing but a waste of energy.

The momentum of the all-out attack was, in his eyes, nothing but bluffing.

"All-out attack?" Emperor Chen Fan whispered to himself, his eyes gradually becoming as sharp as knives, "Crown Prince Canglan Yao, you're done attacking; it's my turn now."

He slowly stood up, his black robes rustling, the galaxy halo around him surging, and the space power of a Star Warrior began to condense at his fingertips.

This was a power that transcended interstellar warship technology, a trump card capable of turning the tide of battle.

Commander Lei Meng sensed the Emperor's aura, his desire for battle surging in his eyes: "Emperor! Please give the order! Our army is ready to counter-attack at any time!"

Commander Ling Shuang: "Mecha brigade, standing by for assault!"

Commander Ling Ye: "Shadow Fleet, in position!"

Commander Su Qingyue: "Battlefield lock-on complete, ready to launch the general offensive at any time!"

Emperor Chen Fan looked up, his star-like eyes locking onto the airspace behind the Cang Lan Fleet, his voice falling like a thunderclap:

"All forces, prepare to counter-attack."

"I will do it myself."

"Space Jump, flank and raid!"

With the order, the power of the Star Warrior swept across the starry sky!

The void tore open, space twisted, and the elite forces of the Dawn Fleet were about to cross billions of kilometers of starry sky, appearing at the enemy's most vulnerable rear!

The end of the Cang Lan Fleet had officially arrived!
