Chapter 156: T5 Knight-Class Interstellar Annihilation Ship

Feng Mo finally understood what true firepower meant. The brown energy beam cut through the swarm of insectoid mother ships without discrimination, obliterating everything in its path. As long as the Yunshan kept supplying energy, the beam from the T5-class cluster annihilation cannon would keep advancing, carving a path of destruction through the swarm.

This was an absolutely terrifying weapon, and Feng Mo had no doubt that a single shot from this T5-class cluster annihilation cannon could turn Baiyu Star in the Storm System into a wasteland. A few more blasts, and even the Storm System's main planet wouldn't stand a chance.

The continuous explosions and fiery blasts illuminated the once-dark cosmos. As the brown beam advanced further, it left a massive gap through the swarm of mother ships, completely penetrating the entire formation.

This is what a true superweapon looks like, Feng Mo thought, realizing that everything he had seen before now paled in comparison. Just then, he overheard one of the fleet commanders say:

"Alright, everyone, stop holding back. Let's finish this up and head back to celebrate."

Taking his cue, Feng Mo gave his own command to the Hurricane: "Activate the targeting system. Use the Yunshan's radar to prioritize T3 and higher insectoid mother ships. Aim the quasi-T5 annihilation cannon at T4 mother ships and fire at will without waiting for confirmation."

After setting up the Hurricane, Feng Mo refocused on the holographic video generated by the radar. These thirteen fleet commanders were the elite of the Federation's military leadership, and Feng Mo was eager to learn from their coordination.

In general, when a fleet had overwhelming strength, a saturation attack could be used—covering the enemy in firepower to make escape impossible. But in cases where the enemy's strength was on par with your own, tactical precision and real-time adjustments were critical.

Feng Mo knew he had come this far primarily thanks to the advanced ships provided by the Flame Spark system, which allowed him to overpower opponents. He didn't consider his own command abilities exceptional—he even believed Ai Er had a better grasp on tactics than he did, let alone these thirteen elite T5 fleet commanders.

So he watched closely, fully absorbed. The commanders coordinated seamlessly, starting with a pincer movement to slightly extend the battle lines without overextending, as the insectoid mother ships' numbers could be dangerous if spread too thin.

In space, tactics and weapon deployment were three-dimensional. Torpedoes could launch from below the ship, interstellar missiles from vertical launch silos, while lasers fired in a straight line. This created a vast range of strategic possibilities and tactical flexibility.

The thirteen T5 fleets split into two groups, encircling the front and rear of the insectoid swarm. In the center, a defensive formation of escort ships and destroyers held off the swarm's direct assaults.

At the ends of the formation, they unleashed a powerful weapon: the T5-class interstellar missile carrier. With 2,000 launch silos, the Federation only had five of these behemoths, three of which were in action here.

The sight of 6,000 T5-class interstellar missiles launching in unison was awe-inspiring. Feng Mo watched as they soared toward the swarm, with a few intercepted by T5-class mother ships' bio-plasma cannons, but the majority landed within the swarm. A massive explosion ensued, clearing an entire section of space and consuming everything in a blaze of destruction.

This was the true extent of Federation power, and Feng Mo couldn't help but feel a vast gap between his ambitions of building a kingdom and the Federation's capabilities. It wasn't just a minor difference—it was a chasm. These superweapons, which the Federation could deploy at will, were far beyond his reach for now.

After a single round of missile fire from the T5 missile carriers, an entire region of the swarm was wiped out. Before the explosions had even subsided, the center of the swarm erupted in a new round of blasts. Feng Mo zoomed in on the radar feed to see dozens of T5-class stealth bombers launching waves of torpedoes and missiles into the densest parts of the insectoid formation.

In open space, there was no true "air superiority," but these stealth bombers functioned much like stealth fighters, with lethal precision and an almost guaranteed success rate for surprise attacks. And then, Feng Mo noticed something even more incredible: the T5 Knight-Class Interstellar Annihilation Ship.

This ship was a dream come true for Feng Mo; the Hurricane paled in comparison. It wasn't that Feng Mo was fickle—this ship was simply too enticing.

Its dimensions were formidable at 7 km by 1.5 km by 1.3 km. Its outer armor boasted a thickness of 3,000 units, and it was equipped with four T5-class annihilation cannons, twelve neutron main guns, twenty-four laser secondary guns, over a hundred missile launch silos, and two hundred close-range rapid-fire guns.

The ship's arsenal was comprehensive and incredibly powerful. Such an interstellar annihilation ship could truly "annihilate stars." Even the Yunshan appeared somewhat dim in comparison to this T5 Knight-Class Interstellar Annihilation Ship.

However, this Knight-Class ship wasn't owned by any single empire—it belonged directly to the Federation and was merely on temporary loan to the united fleet for this mission.

Earlier, it had been mentioned that there were only five T5-class missile carriers in the entire Federation. That referred to the ones under the control of the major empires. What set the Federation's Council above the seventeen major empires was its unmatched military dominance.

The Federation's Council controlled two fleets that answered solely to it, carrying out its orders without involving themselves in empire conflicts or border wars.

These fleets were formidable, and no T5 fleet from any empire could claim to be their equal. They were home to numerous specialized starships, each developed by the Federation's Starship Technology Department.

The Knight-Class Interstellar Annihilation Ship charged all four of its T5 cluster annihilation cannons, unleashing four colossal brown beams that swept through the insectoid mother ship swarm. It then opened every single one of its missile silos, sending a hundred T5 missiles hurtling into the swarm.

And there were still the twelve T5-class neutron main guns. Second only to annihilation cannons, these weapons were a required fixture on T5-class ships. Each shot from these neutron main guns tore apart a T5-class insectoid mother ship, with twelve in total targeting twelve mother ships and annihilating them instantly.

The entire central battlefield was dominated by this T5 Knight-Class Interstellar Annihilation Ship. Meanwhile, the insectoid swarm, though enduring devastating losses, continuously sought openings to counterattack.

However, their limited attack methods posed minimal threat to the T5 fleets. But sheer numbers had their own advantages, and, as the swarm intensified, even the T5 fleets began to feel the pressure. The escort fleets, especially the quasi-T5 class, were the first to bear the brunt.

Bioplasma cannons struck numerous escort ships, rapidly depleting their shield energy, particularly for those stationed in the center. Though they could endure for a while, they struggled against

the onslaught of tens of thousands of bio-plasma attacks.
