Chapter 1391: 459. Laying out in the dark

Three screens provided by Magic Vision floated in front of Noland Lee.

The first screen displayed a unique Star Gate.

It was a massive wreath, adorned with white blossoms and green leaves, entwined with vines.

Countless Little Elves danced around the wreath, moving back and forth, constructing branches or nurturing the flowers.

This was a Star Gate created by magic, a genuine product of magical creation.

It could teleport 1000 battleships across star domains simultaneously.

...

Whenever the teleportation began, the white flowers on the Star Gate would bloom and spray a misty white fog towards the center of the Star Gate.

The Little Elves on the Star Gate would also cease their work and instead take out various musical instruments, playing background music for the opening of the Star Gate.

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.

But the music played by the Little Elves affected the passengers more in their hearts.

It could ignore the barriers of a vacuum, presenting a rousing and lively march in the hearts of every player passing through the Star Gate, encouraging them to proceed.

Theoretically, this was Noland Lee’s first public presentation of magic in the field of teleportation before the players.

To ensure the smooth progress of this event, he had specially applied to the United Bureau for special passage rights, so that the Magic Stargate would not be mistaken by the Security Guard of the United Bureau as an Illegal Star Gate.

The response elicited by the Magic Stargate speaks for itself.

Almost every player arriving by ship was attracted to the Magic Stargate with its natural style, and could not help but exclaim in amazement.

The second Magic Vision displayed the teleportation destination of the Magic Stargate.

That place was on the edge of the Samimi Star Field, very close to the Fenir Star Domain where Angel’s Voice Space Station was located.

The players would gather there for the first time, building a temporary Forward Base, and, with the help of Magic Elves, constructing Secondary Stargates, Docks, fixed guard posts, and Warehouses.

The Secondary Stargate would teleport the players near Angel’s Voice Space Station.

This kind of interstellar domain deployment was extremely dangerous and crucial.

Because the Secondary Stargate must teleport a sufficiently large number of player ships at once to ensure that they could break through the defences near Angel’s Voice Space Station.

This required the Secondary Stargate to have an extremely large throughput and a very high speed of operation.

From Noland Lee’s observations of Angel’s Voice over many days, it would take a one-time teleportation of 30,000 player ships to have an eighty percent chance of allowing the vanguard to firmly hold their ground at the frontlines of the battlefield.

This was only taking into account the possibility of the Alliance being unprepared and its reinforcements to the space station being delayed.

If the Alliance were already on alert and had ambushes set up near Angel’s Voice Space Station, then even more player ships would need to be committed.

This related to the third Magic Vision before Noland.

In this Magic Vision, Angel’s Voice Space Station was the protagonist.

It was the space station where the headquarters of the Archangel Group was located, inherently heavily fortified with numerous self-defense mechanisms.

In face of unmanned drones, missiles, and other small targets from the players, the space station would deploy fully automatic high-speed projectile turrets.

Facing player’s small, high-speed targets like Assault Escort Ships and Assault Cruisers, which had the capability to penetrate defensive lines, the space station would activate a jamming field, reducing the mobility of these targets and focusing fire to annihilate them.

In facing the players’ Main Warships, namely the Battle Cruisers and Battleships, the space station’s method was more straightforward and brutal—firepower coverage and saturation bombardment.

Normally, a player’s Battle Cruiser appearing on the battlefield would simultaneously be attacked by at least five fixed heavy-duty guard posts.

Five, fixed, heavy-duty guard posts targeting one ship.

This level of firepower suppression could be described as ferocious.

Even if the guard posts’ firing accuracy was lacking, the players’ Battleships would have their shields and armor shredded by the torrent of steel within one minute, ultimately bursting into splendid fireworks across the starry sky.

If the Battleships couldn’t withstand the space station’s firepower, could the Raider ships produced by the United Bureau manage?

Unfortunately, they couldn’t either.

Raider ships were mainly used for skirmishes, not for trench or assault wars.

Using them to hit and run was absolutely fine, but employing them to directly confront a heavily armed space station was hopeless.

Confronted by the space station, as prickly as a hedgehog and hard to grapple with, the United Bureau suggested to Noland Lee that Titan Ships be deployed.

In siege battles, Titan Ships played a role similar to that of siege hammers in ancient terrestrial warfare.

Siege hammers used their sturdy bodies and impact force to tear through the Great Gates of cities. noveldrama

Similarly, Titan Ships relied on gravity distortion and their highly intimidating siege engines.

With just thirty percent of its power, a Titan Ship could, through its own gravity alone, paralyze most facilities within the space station.

When it activated its siege engine at full power, intensifying its own gravity, the space station would have its outer layer directly ripped apart.

At that point, all automated high-speed projectile turrets and fixed heavy-duty guard posts would vanish amidst the severely distorted gravity environment.

Deploying Titan Ships could definitely settle the matter with one strike, yet Noland Lee politely declined the suggestion from the United Bureau.

Firstly, renting Titan Ships from the United Bureau was costly, and Noland Lee would also have to bear the battle damage of the Titan Ships.

Secondly, Noland Lee felt it unnecessary to deploy Titan Ships.

His magic, along with the high-spirited players, would be sufficient to tear through the space station’s defenses.

In the third Magic Vision, the area near the space station was heavily fortified with numerous Artificial Angels and firepower facilities, seemingly impregnable.
