Starting with God's perspective, how to lose an interstellar war?

"commander!

Urgent report from the front!

The communications officer's voice was filled with unprecedented panic, and it even cracked.

"Pioneer Reconnaissance Ship Reporting!"

A large-scale gravitational response has been detected in front of the minefield exit, in the direction of Neva Star!

It's a starship!

Number... at least thirty!

No, it's still increasing!

Forty...fifty...they...

They were already waiting there!

As if to confirm this report.

The flagship "Abyssal Fangs" finally managed to penetrate the weak interference at the edge of the minefield and capture a clear signal with its remote sensor array, which had just been partially repaired.

Right in front of that narrow escape route, bought with the lives of countless imperial soldiers.

The sky that should have led to the "safe" planet Neva was now filled with the outlines of countless starships slowly emerging from the planet's shadow, like cold, already-opened animal traps.

The light from the main guns was silently gathering at the bows of those ships.

The mocking smile on Jenkins' face froze instantly, then crumbled like a shattered mask.

He lunged at the tactical screen, staring intently at the enemy markers that had suddenly appeared, blocking their last escape route, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints.

So it turns out... the other party didn't forget to block the door.

They had already welded the door shut and patiently watched him perform a "survival in dire straits" act from inside the door, thinking he was being clever.

Qin Beiwang... never intended to just chase after the minefield.

What he wanted was to complete the final encirclement in front of the minefield.

In the suffocating shadow of the fleet ahead, a blinding light suddenly shone, then expanded and stretched, transforming into a death torrent that tore through space!

It was the main gun of the "Kunlunshan"! It was blocking the exit of the minefield and opened fire without hesitation!

A thick, pale white heavy particle beam, like a spear of judgment, shot straight through the narrow passage carved out by the Megalodon fleet with their lives!

The beam first engulfed the flagship of the "Black Shark" fleet at the very front of the passage, which had just been thrown into a panic upon discovering the enemy.

The battleship's shields evaporated like dewdrops in the sunlight, its hull was pierced through to the core, and it was broken in two by the flames of the secondary explosion.

The beam of light continued its relentless plowing backward.

The destroyers and reconnaissance ships that blocked the trajectory of the ballistic missile were instantly vaporized, leaving no trace.

Immediately afterwards, the flagship of the "Tiger Shark" fleet on the flank attempted to maneuver to evade, but was grazed by the edge of the beam, half of the ship was neatly sheared off, and the internal flames engulfed the remaining part.

This beam of destruction, like a red-hot branding iron, left a shocking trail of death—a trail of shattered hulls and raging flames—on the remaining ranks of the Megalodon fleet.

It finally crashed hard into the bow of the flagship "Abyssal Fang," which was at the front of the formation!

The Abyss Teeth's thick composite armor withstood a deadly test.

A blinding light erupted, the ship shook violently, and its structure groaned under the strain.

The terrifying stream of particles relentlessly eroded the armor, melting deep pits into its surface and scorching it red-hot, but...

It didn't penetrate completely!

"The bow armor has a 65% damage rate!"

The structure remains intact!

We...we held on!

The damage control officer's report, choked with tears, contained a hint of elation at having narrowly escaped death.

Jenkins was also shaken and staggered, his ears ringing, but upon hearing the report, a fierce glint suddenly flashed in his bloodshot eyes.

We held on! Just a little more time, just a little more…

This idea had not yet taken shape—

The piercing alarm sounded again throughout the ship, this time from the rear!

"rear!

Behind the minefield!

High-energy reaction!

It's...it's another "Kunlun Mountain"!

It's behind us!

What?!

Jenkins turned his head abruptly and saw on the tactical screen another equally terrifying signal source flashing, representing the direction of Pluto's main fleet outside the minefield.

Furthermore, two thinner but still deadly pale white beams of light had already pierced through the void.

They fired precisely from behind along the deadly path through the minefield that they had just "marked" with ships and corpses!

"Kunlun Mountain - Modified"!

Qin Beiwang's flagship!

Instead of trying to bypass the minefield, it ruthlessly used the "path" that the Imperial Fleet had earned with their own lives to launch a sniping attack from behind!

The two beams of light penetrated from the rear into the crowded formation of the Megalodon fleet, which had not yet recovered from the attack from the front.

A battleship at the end of the column, preparing to release more tripwires, was the first to be hit.

The beam of light shot in from the tail engine cluster, piercing forward and causing explosions in its path, destroying thrusters, power lines, and ammunition depots before finally exiting from the bow.

This transformed the colossal ship into a death torch that spewed flames from bow to stern.

Another beam of light grazed the array at an angle, slicing a cruiser in half as it attempted to dodge.

With its momentum still intact, it rammed into the side of another battleship next to it, carving a terrifying crater several meters in diameter into its thick armor, with molten metal flowing along its edges, triggering a violent secondary explosion inside.

Just two shots, coming from behind, caused a more terrifying chain reaction of damage and psychological shock than the first shot, due to the narrow passage and the dense formation.

After the main guns of "Kunlun Mountain" from both the front and rear completed their fatal strikes, a brief silence followed, followed by a complete storm of destruction.

The Pluto fleet's main ships, which had already completed calibration, locked their targets firmly on the Imperial starships that were crammed together and riddled with damage in the minefield passage.

volley!

Battleships' heavy plasma main guns, heavy cruisers' high-speed railguns, destroyers' missile salvos...

Countless beams of light, projectiles, and missiles, as if attracted by a magnet, converged into a destructive torrent from both ends of the passage and even from the sides of the sparsely populated minefield, pouring into that narrow airspace!

The remaining ships of the Megalodon fleet have now become live targets trapped in transparent coffins.

A battleship attempted to retaliate with its remaining broadside fire, but was simultaneously hit by at least five main gun beams from different directions.

The overloaded shields exploded into shimmering debris, the hull was pierced in multiple places, and a series of internal explosions tore it into several burning pieces.

Another Imperial cruiser frantically swerved to the side, trying to find a gap in the gunfire, but crashed into the edge of a minefield that had not been completely cleared.

The intelligent trip mine sensed the metallic mass and detonated instantly. A dazzling burst of fire erupted from beneath the ship's hull, shattering its keel and sending it drifting away in two pieces.

More cruisers and destroyers, under intense crossfire, had their shields overloaded and shattered, their armor torn apart, and their engines destroyed, turning into silent, expanding fireballs or wrecked ships trailing thick smoke and debris.

The flashes of explosions rose and fell in succession, illuminating almost the entire minefield passage, as if a cruel and grand steel funeral was taking place.
