From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 566 The Threat of Proton Annihilation Bomb (Jin Jie is Alive!)

The sea of ​​stars is like a vast, deep, mysterious painting, and at this moment in the space near Rubion V, the war is spreading like a raging storm.

In this dark, cold, and lonely space, the fleets of the Atlas Group and the Federal Navy were like two groups of ferocious bees that were completely enraged. They attacked and bit each other frantically. Both sides had a rock-hard determination and vowed to completely devour the other without leaving any room for survival.

The sheer size of the Federation's fleet astounded all combatants - especially the new recruits who were participating in a space fleet battle of this magnitude for the first time.

Thousands of warships are like a vast ocean made of steel. The mighty warships always maintain their current formation under the fine-tuning of the shipboard control personality. The majestic momentum seems to be able to suppress everything.

The Atlas Group's unmanned fleet was like emotionless cold machines or reefs that stood firm under the impact of huge waves. It fearlessly faced the enemy's fierce attack like a surging tide.

The cold metal shell flashed a cold and dangerous light under the bright starlight, which was daunting.

This extremely fierce battle has lasted for nearly two hours from the time the Federal Navy fired the first shot.

After receiving reinforcements from the 14th Fleet, the Federal Navy's fleet became increasingly violent and ferocious, like a group of completely enraged prehistoric beasts. Their goal was clear and single, which was to completely annihilate the Atlas Group's fleet and not allow any enemy ship to continue to exist in this vast universe.

As for the Atlas Group's unmanned fleet, under the command of 'holding firm' issued by Amber before the war, there was no concept of fear, no hesitation, only cold logic and extremely precise calculations in their hearts.

They are like the most ruthless steel warriors on the battlefield, tirelessly executing combat orders and responding to the enemy's fierce attacks with powerful firepower.

Scenes like what happened to Captain Stark of the Atlas Group's 'Avengers' squadron are constantly happening in this universe, and not just on the Atlas side. There are also many such heroic squadrons on the Federation Navy side.

Although the number is not large, there are indeed such soldiers.

Courage and responsibility - qualities that are rarely seen in most humans in this era, are like fuel that continues to burn in this war-torn universe, allowing this battle, in which both sides have reasons not to lose, to continue.

At present, the straight-line distance between the Federal Fleet and Atlas' two unmanned fleets and the Third Task Force has reached 4000 kilometers. The HCP cluster of the Federal Navy's full-deck attack has now approached the Atlas fleet from both flanks.

However, with the elite troops led by Murat and Jacob, and the desperate fighting style of Captain Stark, coupled with the unmanned fleet's highly accurate and efficient anti-aircraft firepower, the Federation's HCP, although launching wave after wave of attacks, has not yet been able to achieve a breakthrough.

But in the absence of other variables, it is only a matter of time before the unmanned fleet's air defense network is breached.

After all, the HCP cluster on the Federation Navy's side is much larger in scale. Even ants can kill elephants, not to mention these steel demons armed to the teeth.
On the other side, the Atlas First Combat Fleet led by Amber finally reached the edge of 1 kilometers away from the Federal Fleet after a vertical maneuver on the ecliptic plane that required extremely strict control of the ship's posture.

The Fifth Fleet, which served as the 'trump card' of the Federal Navy, also completed its merger with the Grand Fleet during this period of time, becoming the new left-wing attack fleet and rushing towards Randall and his men.

The Federal Navy had no intention of hiding their intentions, and all the commanders of both sides were very clear about the Federal Navy's intention, which was to ignore the Atlas First Fleet that was attacking the "Nadir" and rely on the absolute numerical advantage to destroy the enemy in the front. In the view of Rear Admiral Stoner, the commander of the Grand Fleet, if Atlas did not split up its forces at the beginning, but instead joined forces to confront them head-on, the risk of the Federal Navy launching a frontal attack under the command of two super flagships would actually be quite high.

But now the enemy took the initiative to divide its forces in order to complete the raid in other directions, which made Major General Stoner realize that he could divide and attack them like countless classic battles in history.
However, the combat effectiveness and resilience of the Atlas combat fleet far exceeded the expectations of these federal naval commanders, including Major General Stoner.

To be honest, they couldn't even guarantee that their fleet's determination to fight would not waver in the face of the current huge disadvantage in manpower.

Even they themselves were not sure whether they could make up their minds to command the fleet to fight when faced with the situation facing the enemy.

Under such circumstances, Major General Stoner found that his tactical goal of quickly destroying part of the enemy's forces seemed impossible to achieve.

And if the battle is allowed to drag on, and the enemy forces at the bottom of the nadir position rush up and join the melee, then even if the battle is won, the casualty ratio may be quite ugly.

Thinking of this, Major General Stoner quickly convinced himself in his heart, and then placed his hand on the biometric authenticator on the armrest of the captain's seat.

A green light representing "identity confirmation" flashed, and then a long authorization code was entered into the combat command system under his authorization.

Soon, the virtual images of the other three commanders who received the copy of the order lit up near Major General Stoner.

"Are you sure you want to use this thing?" The first person to ask was Major General Benelli, who had previously partnered with Stoner. "Do you think the situation has become so unfavorable?"

"No, the situation is not as bad as you want to say. Besides, who says that proton annihilation bombs can only be used when the situation is extremely unfavorable?"

Major General Stoner raised his eyebrows and continued:

"The marshal authorized us to use it so that we can win the battle, not as a talisman to 'turn the tables' in critical moments, so what's the problem with me using it now? As long as we can use it to annihilate the Atlas battle fleet in one fell swoop, then this strategic weapon will have achieved its original purpose of being created."

“I think what you said makes sense, but there is still a problem.”

Major General Mueller, who spoke this time, obviously had no problem with Major General Stoner's plan, but directly thought about the use of this strategic weapon.

"Where do you want to use this proton annihilation bomb?"
