Chapter 1423: Shadowhunters in action!
A port that swallowed up Wenming Star
In a dilapidated corridor.
A Devouring Fleet soldier who had just recovered from a coma shook his head and struggled to his feet.
He felt a pain in his arm and looked down at it.
His arm was completely bent.
He recalled that before he lost consciousness, there was a sudden, violent explosion, and the surrounding walls began to collapse and twist.
Unfortunately, he was hit in the arm by a falling heavy object and then lost consciousness.
It seems he's been quite lucky.
Although he was injured, at least he's still alive.
But given the current situation, if the wound isn't treated promptly, he will eventually die from blood loss.
And he also needs to figure out exactly what happened.
Was the explosion caused by a departmental error?
Or did a starship lose control and crash into the surface of the starport?
Because his department is mainly responsible for storing the resources transported here by interstellar transport ships.
Then, depending on the needs, supplies are directly provided to the interstellar warships.
Alternatively, they could be transferred to interstellar supply ships, which would then travel to the front lines to resupply the interstellar warships.
During this process, some careless captains and staff may cause accidents due to their mistakes.
I never expected that I would encounter such bad luck.
He took a few slow steps to make sure his movements were not affected.
He looked around.
Although the corridor has collapsed in some places, it is still not a problem to walk through it.
Several bodies, crushed to death, can be seen on the ground.
The lights were also flickering, indicating a problem with the wiring.
"Hello, hello, this is section B61. There has been an explosion here."
He immediately tried to report the incident using the Starport communications network.
But there was only a busy signal and no response.
He called out several more times, but there was still no response.
He then tried contacting some acquaintances in his department, but received no response.
Strange, could it be that this explosion has also affected the communication network?
Or is it that your communication equipment is broken?
Filled with confusion.
He began to stagger forward. Since he couldn't contact anyone here, he would have to go out and search on his own.
But as he walked step by step toward other cabins.
He became increasingly aware that something was wrong.
Because this doesn't seem to be the result of an explosion.
It seems like... it has been attacked in some way.
He even saw a huge crater that had blasted through the walls of at least several compartments!
Fortunately, his individual spacesuit was still functional.
His head was covered by a crystal bubble, and this individual spacesuit allowed him to survive in space for twelve hours.
He stared in horror at the ruins before him.
This order is the mark left after the battle.
But how could there possibly be a battle here?
By this point, he already had a guess in his mind.
But he simply refused to believe that possibility.
He tried to see through the large pit to get a clear view of what was happening outside, but it was all black fog and he couldn't see anything at all.
He seemed to have thought of something.
He headed in another direction, and his pace quickened involuntarily.
He even fell several times during this time, but each time he forced himself to get up and keep walking.
He longed for an answer to alleviate his worry and anxiety.
Finally, he saw the cabin markings on the wall, and his pupils widened slightly.
The place I need to go is just ahead.
There, I suppose I can finally reveal my inner anxieties.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the relatively intact hatch.
This suggests that, at least, the opposite compartment is most likely undamaged.
He walked through the cabin door and was greeted by a long corridor with huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
And outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the view of the Star Harbor.
During their breaks, several colleagues would come here to relax, enjoy the interstellar scenery, and reminisce about their own past dreams of interstellar travel and adventure.
At that moment, his pupils dilated as he stared in disbelief at the floor-to-ceiling window covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
He saw the flames outside, the broken wreckage of the starport, and those unfamiliar interstellar warships.
And the interstellar torpedoes and interstellar bombs being launched from those interstellar warships.
These interstellar torpedoes and interstellar bombs were all deployed on this starport.
Boom boom boom
He could even faintly hear the sound of the explosion himself.
The ground beneath our feet was shaking continuously.
The hulls of those attacking interstellar warships bore a fleet emblem that was both strange and familiar.
It felt unfamiliar because he had never seen it before.
He was familiar with it because he had heard of the dragon emblem.
It was the fleet emblem of the Dragon Empire's interstellar fleet that they had invaded this time.
But why are these JF-17 interstellar warships here?
He didn't know the answer.
And he may never know why.
Because he saw several interstellar torpedoes heading towards his location.
...
This scene unfolded in various locations across the frontline battlefield bases of the Devouring Civilization.
The hardest hit areas were undoubtedly the interstellar transport ships and interstellar supply ships.
Because places like Starport and Soul Altar are protected by fleets.
Interstellar transport ships and interstellar supply ships are not so lucky. In addition, interstellar transport ships and interstellar supply ships are also quite large, often requiring a large interstellar fleet to protect them.
Moreover, they themselves do not possess the ability to defend themselves.
Often, just a few stealth bombers can destroy hundreds of interstellar transport ships.
It's like a sheep among wolves.
If left unchecked, it would be a complete massacre!
And in fact, that is exactly the situation right now.
Because everything happened so suddenly.
There was no preparation.
Those interstellar stealth bombers launched surprise attacks from very close range to target locations such as starports, soul altars, interstellar transport ships, and interstellar supply ships.
The sudden influx of interstellar torpedoes, interstellar bombs, and other weapons caught the enemy completely off guard.
It's now highly unlikely that we can stop those attacks.
They could only watch helplessly as their own interstellar warships were attacked.
In some battlefields, they didn't even notice the attackers' presence immediately.
It wasn't until they used their rarely used anti-stealth equipment that they discovered the interstellar warship, which had remained stealthy even during the attack phase, under the radar display of the anti-stealth equipment.
That is the most advanced interstellar stealth bomber in the Dragon Empire!
T6 Shadow Ghost-class Medium Stealth Interstellar Bomber!
This is the first time this interstellar warship has made its debut.
Its first appearance was a great gift to the Devouring Civilization.
In a completely empty space, three black beams of light appeared out of thin air and directly targeted an interstellar transport ship carrying a level-six soul altar.
Since it is carrying a level 6 soul altar, the security level is naturally the highest.
First, there is a ring of interstellar escort ships on the outer perimeter, forming a defensive force field that protects the T6 interstellar transport ship in the middle 24 hours a day.
At the same time, the T6 interstellar transport ship activated its star shield, which enveloped the ship's hull.
In addition, a defensive field surrounds the Level 6 Soul Altar placed on the semi-open warehouse deck.
That was specifically designed for it.
Therefore, for this level six soul altar, the defensive force field alone has three layers.
This shows its importance.
The three black beams that shot out were now striking the outermost defensive field formed by the interstellar frigates.
After a brief pause, the defensive force field formed by the interstellar frigates was breached in less than ten seconds.
Next, of course, is the defensive shield of the interstellar transport ship.
This layer was quickly shattered as well.
At this point, only the last defensive shield remained protecting the level six soul altar.
Once this last shield is breached, the Soul Altar will be completely powerless and destroyed instantly!
"Quick! Quick! Intercept these attacks!" The troll king also noticed this scene.
This level six soul altar was prepared specifically for this attack.
He didn't care about the previously destroyed level four and level five soul altars.
However, the Level 6 Soul Altar is extremely important to them!
But things didn't go as planned.
Soon, the Troll King witnessed the destruction of the T6 interstellar transport ship along with the level 6 soul altar!
Only a single exploding fireball remained.
"Who...who did this?!" The troll king roared in fury.
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate might know," the subordinate officer beside him said tremblingly. "We had some intelligence before this."
The Dragon Empire may possess a T6-class interstellar stealth bomber.
Based on the fact that the T5 Ghost Wolf King-class medium-sized interstellar stealth bomber possessed the ability to stealth attack for a short period of time, we speculate that the T6-class interstellar stealth bomber may have the ability to remain stealthy for a long period of time while also being capable of attack and combat.
However, this interstellar warship had never appeared on the battlefield before.
There is no relevant intelligence information.
Therefore, we have no way of knowing the specifics of this interstellar warship.
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the troll king's expression turned icy cold, devoid of any color.
He whispered, like a demon from the abyss, "I don't care what happens now."
I have only one request.
All the Dragon Empire interstellar warships that appear here.
A ship...
Don't let a single one escape!
"Annihilate them all here!"
"Yes...yes!" the subordinate replied immediately.
On the other side...
Zhao Wan'er witnessed the successful completion of one of her combat missions, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected of the T6 interstellar stealth bomber that my older brother prepared for me, its performance is really quite good.
Especially the extra bow gun.
She finally understood what it meant when Xue Xiaoxiao kept boasting that interstellar battleships were the strongest.
T6 Shadow Ghost-class Medium Stealth Interstellar Bomber!
Zhao Wan'er's flagship was the No. 1 ship.
Meanwhile, the Shadow Hunter Ace Fleet currently has thirty of these T6 interstellar warships in active service.
If it weren't for time constraints, there would be even more of these interstellar warships.
These T6 Shadow Ghost-class medium-sized stealth bombers are currently carrying out their main combat missions in various small battlefields.
Zhao Wan'er looked through the bridge window at the bow cannon slowly closing.
She recalled the brief introduction of the starship she had seen when she received it.

3,000 optical mimicry missiles
3,000 electromagnetic interference missiles
3,000 thermal decoy missiles
3,000 smoke decoy missiles
Special Feature: Ghostly Stealth Core (can remain in stealth mode indefinitely)
Aside from the usual performance upgrades from T5 to T6.
It also has two more performance features.
The first option is permanent concealment.
Unless the enemy possesses full-map anti-stealth equipment, their anti-stealth radar can pinpoint the location of this interstellar warship.
Alternatively, this feature may be unusable when the starship's energy level is below 30%.
Furthermore, enemy attacks could cause certain critical modules of the starship to malfunction, leading to this performance failure.
Another additional performance feature.
It's 【the bow gun of a Shadow-class dark matter heavy pulse ship】.
Prior to this, the JF-17 series of interstellar stealth bombers emphasized blitzkrieg warfare, so they would not be equipped with this bow gun weapon.
They typically use rapid-launch, incredibly powerful weapons such as interstellar torpedoes, interstellar bombs, and interstellar missiles.
However, this bow gun is different; firstly, its use will not affect the stealth performance itself at all.
Furthermore, it can be pre-charged so that its location will not be revealed until an event occurs.
Furthermore, its power is comparable to the bow gun of a T6-class starship.
The only drawback is that it makes it easier to reveal your position when firing.
But this is something that can't be helped.
There is no perfect interstellar warship in the world.
This property is very useful for attacking heavily fortified spirit altars.
It is difficult to destroy the energy shield and the soul altar in a short time using conventional weapons alone.
But this bow gun is sufficient.
This also helped Zhao Wan'er achieve her goal of destroying the level six soul altar!
