Chapter 477

Chapter 477. The Second Tanhoizer Siege Battle. (2)

Right from the start, we lost the Fortress Main Gun, but in return, we didn’t have to deal with the damn Titan Arum and the rest of the ships’ spear attacks, so maybe it was worth it.

-[LOLOLOL the Fortress Main Gun tanked it]

-[LET’S GOOOOOO]

-[Now’s the time!!!]

-[I thought we’d be the ones tanking, but the base took the hit instead]

-[LOLOLOL WTF]

—————————————–

The users, who were betting on which fleet would be the first to head to the afterlife, started the battle against the Punishment Fleet advancing on my depression.

And the ensuing battle, as always, was just a situation filled with truly profound eye-candy.

Massive and beautiful beam cannons fired wildly, while Destroyers and smaller ships charged at the advancing enemy fleet.

Tens of millions of missiles fired by both fleets, including Arsenal Ships, crossed paths, jamming and exploding left and right.

Missiles and shells flew across the vast battlefield, with some colliding mid-air and getting intercepted.

Inside that chaos, even a Dreadnought wouldn’t last more than a few minutes, as both fleets exchanged relentless firepower…

-[Spread out the fleet firepower, don’t let it concentrate]

-[Ah crap, my Battleship]

-[If it’s not a gacha ship or a high-tier Battleship, it can’t handle concentrated firepower, just think of it as cannon fodder]

-[Their fleet’s getting wiped out in an instant, wow]

-[We’re getting wiped out too!!!]

—————————————–

Given the scale of both sides, it was insane.

Battleships were exploding at a rate of “one per second,” showing just how crazy the fleet losses were.

And with Battleships exploding every second, there was no way lower-tier ships could last long in such intense firepower.

After just under an hour of both sides going all out in an artillery duel…

—————————————–

[Tanhoizer Allied Forces Exclusive Chat Room]

-[WTF, all the regular ships are gone, even the gacha ships are heavily damaged, I’m retreating]

-[Me too]

-[No need to retreat, if you reach the carrier line, mining ships are waiting]

-[Oh]

-[Wait, Particle Lances are flying this way!]

-[It’s too far to hit, don’t panic]

-[I’m really done, only Superhumans are left, I’m retreating]

-[Use long-range Superhumans to at least harass them]

-[Wait, it’s only been an hour and already 10% are gone]

-[2,000 people already lost their entire fleet?]

—————————————–

10% of the users who were in formation had their fleets practically annihilated, forcing them to retreat—no, make an emergency withdrawal to the base.

The Allied Forces were suffering devastating losses.

And the real problem wasn’t just the frontline artillery duel…

—————————————–

[Tanhoizer Allied Forces Exclusive Chat Room]

-[The frontline is super dangerous]

-[Carriers, do your job!]

-[Let’s go!]

-[It’s time to show off our insane teleport power]

-[For real LOL]

—————————————–

Some users, using the recently distributed (?) Rafflesia-Class, planned to launch a surprise attack on the enemy fleet’s rear.

But when a few hundred users who owned Rafflesia-Class gathered and activated their teleporters to send their aircraft to the enemy’s rear while forming a defensive escort formation…

—————————————–

[Tanhoizer Allied Forces Exclusive Chat Room]

-[Oh WTF]

-[Wait up up up up up]

-[WTF, teleport incoming!]

-[What’s the anti-air doing!]

-[Hey, escort fleet, do your job WTF]

-[Noooooooooo]

—————————————–

The insane Punishment Fleet command, as soon as the users’ large-scale teleport attack began, used their own Rafflesia II-Class to immediately launch a massive surprise airstrike right above the users’ Rafflesia cluster.

The users’ Rafflesia-Class, relying solely on their escort fleet, made a split-second misjudgment.

In just 20 minutes, hundreds of ships exploded one after another, in a truly…

The results were shocking.

But then, the Rafflesia-Class ships exploded in a surprise attack.

It was true that the absolute number of ships was lacking, so even if both sides lost the same number, the user side suffered proportionally more damage.

However, the Punishment Fleet couldn’t exactly push the users hard either.

===========

-“All forces, advance for the Empire!”

-“Show those lowly beings true power!”

In the first firefight, a significant number of the enemy’s main ships were destroyed.

Countering the teleport assault, hundreds of aircraft carriers in the rear were wiped out.

Despite using every means at their disposal to inflict massive damage on the user coalition.

-Boom! Crash!

-“Aaaah!!”

-“The enemy’s firepower isn’t weakening!”

-“Why isn’t their firepower decreasing?!”

The ‘Punishment Fleet,’ advancing under the orders of the Xenobia Empire’s emperor, was struggling against the unexpectedly strong firepower of the ‘Commanders.’

Naturally, the Punishment Fleet’s command, despite clearly having the numerical advantage in ships, had to accept that their fleet’s firepower was only on par with the enemy.

They couldn’t help but wonder what was going on.

But that was only for a moment.

-“Wait, hold on, high-energy reactions detected ahead!”

-“Superhumans have been spotted among the enemy fleet! They’re firing!”

-“Superhumans? There can’t be that many, right?”

-“No, there are almost 50,000 of them.”

-“Oh.”

Surprisingly, far exceeding the Punishment Fleet’s expectations, a staggering 50,000 ‘long-range superhumans’ were supplementing the fleet’s firepower.

From the Punishment Fleet’s perspective, it was as if an additional 50,000 shots from battleships or Dreadnought-Class ships were raining down.

Watching the fleet’s damage escalate beyond imagination, they were left utterly dumbfounded.

===========

And the gallery users, watching these scenes in real-time through the ‘reporter,’ found the battle situation, aside from its overwhelming scale, to be quite monotonous.

They were showing a rather mixed reaction.

Of course, realistically, most users shared the sentiment that ‘there’s nothing we can do about it.’

Title: The Tanhoizer Siege is Hilarious

This is a full-scale battle involving nearly a million main ships, something even the Humanity Revolution rarely saw, right?

But maybe because this is the first time we’ve experienced such a single battle, both as users and as a faction.

Neither side can flip the situation with unconventional strategies lol

Like when the user side tried using hundreds of Rafflesia-Class ships, only to get countered and wiped out.

Or when the faction sniped and destroyed the fortress cannons first.

On the flip side, the aircraft from those exploded Rafflesia-Class ships successfully teleported.

So those guys managed to take down a Titan Arum-Class while desperately fighting.

But whether that happens or not, it doesn’t change the current situation at all.

So right now, it’s just an unlimited firepower battle, a chicken game to see whose firepower falters first.

Comments:

-[For real, it’s way tougher than expected but also way more monotonous.]

-[The scale is just too big for any fancy maneuvers.]

-[I can’t believe I’m seeing a line battle like the Galactic Empire Legends in this game.]

-[Why can’t they flank? Can’t they just pull some forces aside and do it?]

-˪[If they pull forces for a flank, the front line will break.]

-˪[Right now, users have to mobilize even long-range superhumans just to hold their ground against the Punishment Fleet lol]

—————————————–

In summary, it was all about ‘the scale is too big to pull off any tricks!’

So most users in the gallery and other areas agreed to just enjoy the spectacle of a no-holds-barred line battle.
