Legacy of the Void Fleet

The moment Alked fell silent at the end of his report, Daemen immediately spoke while shaking his head.

”You need to further expand upon the defensive weapon systems. They are far too few! Our enemy is stronger than us in terms of firepower, so we must do everything possible to compensate for that through sheer numbers. After all, it is those Dark Angels who are our main targets, not those humans or their main ships!”

”Yes, Lord Daemen.” Alked solemnly responded with a nod.

”Legion Commander Phalanx, I want you to take charge.” Daemen continued giving orders, assigning various responsibilities to his subordinates, who immediately began taking action.

Beside the Holy Flame Star Defence Super Fortress, the other fortresses also began moving and organising themselves into different formations.

At the same time, large space-based weapon systems, Plasma Annihilation Systems shaped like massive futuristic weapons, were towed into position and deployed across various defensive lines throughout the star system.

Across the defence line, multiple Rugged Head Mechs (a Tier 2 mech) moved around, carrying various equipment and large crates in their hands as land-based weapon systems began taking shape.

At the same time, at the higher-level fortress, just one level below the Holy Flame Star Defence Super Fortress, the Holy Azure Fortress, Phalanx, Gaia, and the other Legion Commanders took control of the medium-sized fortresses under their command across the Netherholy Star Defence Sector!

They were further reinforced with additional mech troops and weapon grids, while all the planets across the star system immediately entered a state of high war readiness.

This was one of the strongest military buildups carried out by the White Holy Angel Theocracy throughout the entire month that the war had been going on!

Not too far away, within the Blotto Star System, the Grand Battle Fleet of the Celestial Void Empire, led by Ryan, appeared in full force.

Along with her came over 10,000 Generation Two ships (quasi-Tier 5), followed by more than 50,000 warships.

Of these, over 70% were made up of Dark Angel Kingdom forces led by the Dark Archangel Lilith, who was also the Princess of the Kingdom and King Lucifer’s only sister and close relative.

The remaining 30% of the forces were made up of the Dark Sun Empire’s fleet, led by their Legion Commander, Mura.

Among these 50,000 warships, over 28,000 were Tier 3 vessels, consisting exclusively of Destroyers and higher-class warships. There were even four Super Battleships, with the rest of the fleet comprising Tier 2 vessels.

Three of these Super Battleships were fielded by the Dark Angel Kingdom, while the remaining one was provided by the Dark Sun Empire’s Legion.

Along with them, there were approximately 4,000 additional battleships, divided equally between the two parties, while the rest consisted of Cruisers and Destroyers.

As for the true higher-level firepower, there were five additional fortresses.

One of them belonged to the Dark Angel Order, which had recently been built by the Dark Angel Kingdom itself. It was a Super Fortress with an overall diameter reaching 2,258 km, constructed specifically to match and overpower the Super Fortresses built by the White Angel Theocracy.

It was equipped with a Super Annihilation Weapon that possessed enough firepower to theoretically challenge even the fortress shields and hull of its opponents!

Following it were two more higher-level fortresses, along with two additional higher-level fortresses provided and operated by the Dark Sun Empire.

Together, these formed the strategic backbone of their firepower and represented their only major advantage over the Angel Theocracy, not including Grand Admiral Ryan’s own forces.

As for their mech forces, there were as many as 6–7 million of them. Most were Tier 3-class mechs, with fewer than 20% consisting of Tier 2 models!

Main Command Bridge

Grand Admiral Ryan sat in her command chair with a neutral expression on her beautiful face as she listened to her subordinates’ reports about the massive forces that both the Dark Angel Kingdom and the Dark Sun Empire had invested in this battle.

”Based on our intelligence, Grand Admiral, we are lacking significantly in terms of numerical strength! The only areas, excluding our own forces, where the two allied forces hold an advantage are the strategic advantages provided by their fortresses and their mech armies.”

”Hmm. Numbers were never the concern, were they, Admiral Jasmine?” Ryan spoke calmly, not at all concerned by the numerical gap, as numbers had never been her primary concern.

”Anyway, are there any additional forces currently en route here, or is this all?” Ryan quickly changed the topic and asked another question.

”As far as I know...” Admiral Jasmine said thoughtfully, shaking her head. ”There are no additional forces en route here! These are all the forces we have for this operation, Grand Admiral.”

Ryan seemed to ponder something for a moment before speaking directly. ”Then there’s no need to wait. We will attack first! Have everyone prepare for battle immediately!”

”Yes, Grand Admiral!”Admiral Jasmine nodded her head.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared beside Grand Admiral Ryan and whispered a few things into her ear.

”Heh! So they really went through with it? Indeed, we were right to pay attention to them from the very beginning. These Outer Demons and Gods have really planned things out, haven’t they?” Grand Admiral Ryan suddenly sneered as she spoke aloud.

”Grand Admiral Kael should already be aware of this, shouldn’t he?” she asked the Shadow Guard.

”That he is, Grand Admiral!”

”Hmm.” Ryan nodded her head before speaking. ”Tell him to deal with those people without any hesitation.”

”Yes, Grand Admiral!”

”One more thing. Present all our findings regarding those groups to Lucifer so that he doesn’t misunderstand the situation. We don’t want him thinking this is something else.”

”Hmm... Also, have our propaganda team release this information on the public platforms of the Dark Angel people. Whether Lucifer understands it or not is another matter. What matters most is that his people understand!”

”As you command, Grand Admiral.”

The Shadow Guard replied and disappeared from his position just as suddenly as he had appeared.

Dark Halo Star System

Fifth Planet – Dark City

On its streets, citizens of the Dark Angel race, each with a single pair of wings on their backs, could be seen walking along the walkways. Occasionally, even those with four pairs of wings could be spotted, though such individuals were a rare sight.

”Huhhh? What is that?”

Suddenly, a commotion broke out, catching the attention of one citizen, followed by several others.

The 3D holographic boards spread throughout the walkways, which had moments ago been displaying the achievements of the Kingdom’s naval forces alongside various advertisements, suddenly paused.

The insignia of the Dark Angel Kingdom’s fastest-growing and currently most popular news channel appeared on the screens.

Celestial Void News Network

CVNN

In less than a month, CVNN had already become a well-known and prestigious broadcasting network throughout the Dark Angel Kingdom.

For the ordinary citizens of the Kingdom, the network had already established itself as a professional news organisation. Its backing from the Human Celestial Void Empire also gave it an authoritative aura, earning it considerable recognition and trust throughout the Kingdom.

The reason was quite obvious. The very existence of their Kingdom was inseparable from the support of the Celestial Void Empire. And the improved lives they were now experiencing, with each passing day bringing something better than the previous one, would never have been possible without that support.

Because of this realisation, the trust people placed in the news broadcast by the Celestial Void Network was overwhelmingly high.

On the holographic screens, the Chief News Anchor, Astralis, appeared and solemnly began her report.

”Citizens of the Dark Angel Kingdom!

”Just now, we received a rather concerning report, which we have successfully confirmed.

”The Vorrath and Kaelth families, the very founding families of our Kingdom, have been found to have much deeper connections with the Outer Gods, Demon Clans, and even the White Angel Empire than previously suspected!

”They have betrayed our race, betrayed our Kingdom, and betrayed every one of you!

”As I speak, our loyal partners are already heading towards the reinforcements that the Vorrath and Kaelth families secretly summoned to invade our territory and disturb our peace!

”The Kingdom and the King treated these people with respect. They were given titles, power, and authority. And this is how they repay the Kingdom, the King, and their own people!”

BANG!

Suddenly, Astralis slammed her hands against the table, her face filled with anger.

”They are already our enemies, and we shall never show them any mercy! They no longer deserve it!”

As soon as these words fell, people across various worlds, not only in the Dark Halo Star System but throughout the vast territories of the Dark Angel Kingdom, which was still rapidly expanding, felt their blood rush to their heads.

”Kill the traitors!”

”Destroy the White Angel Theocracy!”

”NO MERCY FOR THE TRAITORS!”

”These scum! They dare betray their own people! They have already abandoned their own identity while colluding with those Outer Aliens! We must not show them any mercy!”

”DOGS!!”
