Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1333: The Battle of Pudolard
The flagship of the Podolad civilization, the Podolad, disappeared completely. Due to arrogance and the fact that the Lyra was moving too fast, the Podolad people on it were unable to even inform the civilization headquarters of their situation before being hit.

However, the headquarters of their civilization was not stupid. Because of quantum entanglement communication, they discovered that the Podolad had lost contact not long after it disappeared. But as a civilization that roamed the starry sea, their first reaction was disbelief.

Until he saw a fleet appear under the scan of his detector.

The fleet had a very regular appearance, with an estimated number of only about 1.7 billion or 1.8 billion, and did not seem to have much combat power.

The fleet left behind at the headquarters of the Pudolard civilization has much more warships than this. The number of warships left behind and the new warships produced later has reached more than 11 billion, almost six times the number of the new ones.

With the flagship losing contact, command naturally fell into the hands of the fleet's highest commander.

Facing a fleet of only 1.7 to 1.8 billion people, the commander was not afraid. He was very confident in the combat effectiveness of his fleet. Of course, he also knew that the enemy was not well-intentioned.

Therefore, after discovering that the fleet was heading towards the main body of his civilization, the commander did not waste any words and directly gave an order to teach the fleet a lesson before questioning them.

Years of long-distance sailing experience taught him that if he wanted to make such a suddenly appearing fleet answer questions honestly, he had to hit them first. Only when they were hurt would they behave themselves.

The Pudolard civilization has always been able to fight with a small number of troops against a large number, but now they suddenly have the opportunity to fight with a large number of troops against a small number, which makes the commander feel differently. He even wants to feel the feeling of having the advantage in numbers.

As he thought, the battle was about to begin.

But the result of the battle was a little different from what he had imagined. He originally thought that the enemy would start firing as soon as they entered the three-light-year range, but he didn't expect that not a single battleship of the enemy opened fire. It was as if they had no main guns installed, and they actually rushed straight towards his fleet like a novice in war.

"The captains of these rectangular warships are crazy, what do they want to do? Seek death?" The commander of the Pudolard fleet was also stunned when he saw this situation. This was the first time he saw a fleet act like this since he embarked on the great voyage.

"Commander Kosonnier, do you want to fight?"

While he was stunned, the squadron commander's command consultation came from the communication channel.

The fleet commander named Kosonnier thought for 0.1 seconds and replied, "No hurry, just play with these ignorant guys. Anyway, the power of the main gun will be greatly reduced at this distance. The other side should think so too, so let's get closer and shoot."

"Roger that!"

"understand!"

"understood!"

One squadron after another responded actively. In their opinion, this group of rectangular warships had no chance at a long distance, and even less chance at a close distance. In the group battle of warship clusters, the Pudolard civilization was invincible, and this had been the case since the beginning of the great voyage.

As a result, the two fleets, which were supposed to engage in combat as soon as they entered the firing range, actually maintained a rare tacit understanding of not opening fire, which puzzled the awakeners on the rectangular battleship. They were all prepared to face all kinds of artillery fire from the Pdorade civilization fleet, but who would have thought that the other side would not open fire.

The leader of this operation, the Awakener, said in a hallucination: "Don't pay attention to them, let's keep moving forward. According to intelligence, the ordinary warships of the Pudolard civilization are very powerful. For us, the main thing is their shield system. That three-dimensional multi-layer modular shield is difficult to break at a long distance, so we should get as close as possible, preferably within 10 AU."

The Awakener Huan was not worried about the Awakeners being hit. What he was worried about was that the Awakeners he led would not be able to break through the opponent's shield.

Thinking of this, the Awakener Huan sighed again. He felt that the attack means of the Awakener civilization were still too weak. After this battle, he must obtain the weapon system of the Pudolard civilization.

With this in mind, he also instructed the awakeners to fight well and show the power of the awakener civilization, and never let the Falcon civilization and the Divine Principle civilization look down on them. Because before the departure, these two civilizations showed their doubts about the attack power of the awakeners without giving them face. They thought that the awakeners' weapons could not break the shields of the conventional warships of the Pdorade, and that the Neutron Battle Star and the Falcon should go.

The awakener Huan naturally refused. It was just an ordinary fleet of the Pudolade civilization. The awakener did not need help. As for the Neutron Battle Star and the Falcon, they went to another star field. The target was the hidden microcosm of the Black Shadow Alliance. There was also a fleet of the Pudolade civilization there. The conventional civilizations could not defeat it, so they let the two flagships go by themselves.

After the Galactic Center Civilization called for help, everyone had already assigned tasks. Because the Lyra also went out alone to rescue the Galaxy, the consciousness-linked fleet of human civilization was assigned the task of guarding the home.

As for the Star Defender, he was not assigned any tasks originally, because several technological civilizations felt that he was of little use in team battles, but he finally assigned himself a task, which was to act together with the Awakener.

Needless to say, the Daya civilization had its flagship taken away by the Pudolard. Now they are worried about designing a new flagship and choosing a new leader!
On the starry battlefield, watching the Awakeners still charging forward, the chief commander of the Pudolard Civilization Fleet finally couldn't help but say, "Hey, these rectangular warships really don't know how to write the word death. All fleets listen to my orders and crush them."

The distance between the two sides was only more than 3,000 astronomical units, but the other side was still charging forward. The commander felt that there might be a trap.

At the command, thousands of cannons fired.

The Pdorade fleet, which had already locked onto the enemy, launched a salvo of Void Strike at the target in combat teams. At such a close distance, they were confident that even if they did not fire in salvo, they would be able to penetrate the opponent's shield with one shot, but in order to increase the probability of hitting, they still chose to fire in salvo.

The void strike was followed by a massive salvo of tachyon beams, and warp missiles and gravity bombs were also thrown madly towards the enemy.

The warships equipped with large space-cutting weapons also shot out black lines into the void.

In an instant, the originally quiet void suddenly boiled over, and the prelude to a large-scale group battle was sounded on both the visible and invisible battlefields.

However, the people of Pudolard who had completed the volley felt a little strange, because they found that after such a fierce volley, there was not a single hit feedback.

"What's going on? I can't aim at a certain point, but I don't know how to use advance force. I don't know how to use large-scale strikes? Why can't I hit the target even when I'm close?"

Faced with the commander's hysterical shouting, the Pudolards on the warships worked more attentively. They adjusted various parameters and, with the cooperation of the onboard computers of each ship, launched a second round of salvos.

Yet the result remains the same.

The Podolades refused to believe it and fired several more salvos in a row, but the result was still the same. So they thought it was the salvos that caused the problem and let each ship fire freely.

But the result was still the same, all weapons missed, but this time they finally realized the problem. Those rectangular warships seemed to have predictive ability. Before they shot, they made certain movements seemingly unintentionally, and these movements just happened to avoid their attacks.

A single occurrence might be a coincidence, but the fact that it happens to almost all warships is not a coincidence.

"Specialized technology? Impossible. How could the Silver Heart Civilization have other special technologies? No, this style of warship did not seem to appear in the group of civilizations led by the Silver Heart Civilization. Could it be another different civilization?"

The commander was puzzled, but he felt that something was very wrong. He could not contact the flagship, and now there was a fleet like this that directly found the main body of his civilization.

Just when he was puzzled, a message came from the hidden microcosm of the Black Shadow Alliance. It was a message from the fleet located in that star field.

The content of the message was very short, only saying that a flagship-class battleship and a neutron star were discovered and appeared in the detector's field of view.
