In the next instant, the hatches on the left and right sides of two thousand olive-shaped Ard Ships simultaneously opened, launching a total of eight thousand conical Flying Devices about three hundred ters in length.
At the tail ends of these Flying Devices, a very fine azure plasma flow was being emitted rearward.
This is the QS-22 super long-range stealth nuclear fusion Missile prototype, rging the First-Generation Qian Missile model with Supercritical High-speed Low-temperature Plasma Flow Injection Vector Engine Technology shared by the Royal Academy of Sciences.
The reason it can be invisible relies on the Invisible Coating from a fourth-class Mother Empress Ship—a unique product of the Source Star humans that diminishes with use.
In the command room, one battle report after another from the Long-range Missile Operations Departnt continued to sound.
"Thruster One activated."
"Acceleration stable."
"Invisible coating activated."
"Information flow reflectivity is one-three-hundredth of the conventional radar benchmark, successful invisibility."
"Directional radio wave communications established, full speed activated."
"Entering autonomous guidance phase."
"Begin coordinated steering. Target, Storm Assault Fleet."
The slightly cold voice of the commander of the Missile Operations Departnt finally paused in reporting.
Afterward, these eight thousand QS-22 Missiles, which are undetectable by its own information flow radar, would gradually accelerate to 0.27 tis the speed of light, arriving seven days later at the Storm Assault Fleet, which was continually approaching the Ard rchant Fleet.
The mont these Stealth Missiles launched marked the beginning of an undeclared war by the Source Star humans against the Storm Pirate Group with three thousand years of history.
A formation of eighty thousand Eye Ships began to synchronously and silently contract.
The Ard rchant Fleet continued to act unaware, advancing steadily at 0.15 tis the speed of light in a harmless manner.
Five days later, with Ren Zhong’s command, all Eye Ships simultaneously activated a continual stable information flow interference device developed based on the principle of the Enlightener special unit’s "Disorder" core organ.
Strong interference between band waves ford one invisible spherical space after another, connecting in layers.
At the sa ti, a lurking force composed of ten Shuttle Ships appeared resolutely behind many Reconnaissance Ships of the Storm Pirate Group, simultaneously firing energy beam cannons and high-speed micro tri-phase fusion Missiles.
The Reconnaissance Ships imdiately detected they were under attack, trying to escape the artillery lock-on while frantically sending out alarms using information flow carriers.
A step too late.
There was an absolute generational tech gap, with the Source Star side holding the comprehensive advantage of calculating against an unaware foe.
No single piece of information was sent out.
The five hundred claws extended by the Storm Pirate Group were quietly extinguished, like salt grains dissolving into the sea, not stirring even the slightest ripple.
Deep in the flagship of the Assault Fleet, three middle-aged n sat around a round table, known as the Storm Trio.
One is burly and muscular, with a face full of fleshy contours, and brown short hair. This man is Kali Claudie. It is said his ancestors had hereditary baronship but lost nobility due to a significant error in war, demoted to commoners. Later, seeing the unfavorable situation, his ancestors left the fief in the Nanxiang Star Cluster and fled to the Shattered Star Ring to beco bandits, building the Storm Pirate Group’s predecessor—the Gale Base.
Another has a thin face, sharp eagle-like gaze, long narrow eyes with shoulder-length hair. This man is Wu Moyou, once a boss of a small trading company within the Star Cluster possessing two small rchant ships. After being plundered by Kali Claudie years ago, he not only survived but persuaded Kali Claudie with his eloquence to join the pirate group, becoming the strategist and external affairs manager, effectively the second-in-command.
The third man has an average physique, with a beard and ordinary looks, with not an ounce of excess fat, showing excellent bodily control in his gestures. This man is Hou Sheng, once the notorious leader of the Rainstorm Pirate Group, persuaded by Wu Moyou and recruited by Kali Claudie centuries ago, blending Rainstorm Pirate Group into Gale Base, forming the complete Storm Pirate Group. Hou Sheng possesses strong ability, already a High Rank chanical Warrior a thousand years ago, holding a modified Imperial Officer Armor about ten ters high, offering extra enhancent in lee combat; his achievents are illustrious. In public opinion, Hou Sheng is considered one of the top ten pirates in the Shattered Star Ring. Kali Claudie recruited him sincerely at that ti to compensate for a shortage in high-resilience single-unit combat power despite having wealth and strategy.
