Chapter 467: Undercurrents Beneath Peace and a New Mission
Under Lin Yu's and the fleet's protection, the universe enjoyed a brief period of peace. Trade between star systems became frequent, cultural exchanges grew closer, the cosmic alliance continued to expand, and new member civilizations joined one after another, all working together to maintain harmony in this vast universe.
Lin Yu and his team became heroes in the universe, their stories told on every planet. But Lin Yu did not let his guard down. He knew that beneath the surface of peace often lurked undercurrents. At a high-level meeting of the Cosmic Alliance, Lin Yu stated, "Although we have achieved temporary victory, the dark forces have not completely disappeared. They are likely secretly accumulating strength. We must remain vigilant and strengthen our defenses at all times."
The alliance leaders nodded in agreement, and the meeting decided to increase investment in the cosmic security monitoring system, deploying more advanced monitoring equipment in key star systems to ensure the timely detection of any potential threats. At the same time, they would strengthen military training and technical support for newly joined member civilizations to enhance the overall alliance's defense capabilities.
However, just as everything seemed to be developing peacefully and orderly, the headquarters of the Cosmic Alliance received a distress signal from a distant galaxy. The signal was very weak and intermittent. After difficult analysis by technicians, they learned that a place called the Loya Galaxy had been attacked by an unknown force, and the local civilization was in grave danger.
Upon learning the news, Lin Yu immediately volunteered to go to the rescue. He led the fleet swiftly toward the Loya system. Along the way, Lin Yu and his team carefully analyzed the limited intelligence, trying to deduce the attackers' identities and motives.
"Judging from the signals, the attackers' weapons and tactics are quite unique, unlike any dark forces we've encountered before," Ellie said while operating the data analysis equipment.
Lin Yu frowned slightly: "No matter who the other party is, we cannot sit idly by. The civilization of the Loya Galaxy needs our help; this is our responsibility as guardians of the universe."
After a long voyage, the fleet finally arrived at the Loya system. The scene before them shocked them greatly; the once prosperous planet was now devastated, cities were destroyed, and various debris floated in space orbit.
"What...what's going on?" a team member exclaimed in surprise. Lin Yu's expression turned grave. He ordered the fleet to enter combat readiness and dispatched reconnaissance teams to search the surrounding area, attempting to find traces of the attackers and any survivors.
The reconnaissance team quickly sent back a message: a huge warship had been spotted in orbit around a remote planet. The warship had a strange shape and emitted an eerie glow. It was this warship that had launched the attack on the Loya system.
Lin Yu led his fleet to quickly approach the warship. When they were close enough, the warship suddenly fired beams of energy at the fleet. Lin Yu quickly directed his fleet to dodge the attack while simultaneously ordering a counterattack.
A battle was about to erupt between the two sides. Lin Yu discovered that this warship possessed formidable defensive and offensive capabilities, making it difficult for their conventional weapons to inflict effective damage. Moreover, the warship's energy shield seemed to have a self-repairing ability, rapidly recovering after each attack.
“This won’t do; we have to find its weaknesses,” Lin Yu said. Ellie immediately began a full-scale scan of the enemy warship, trying to find a breakthrough from the data.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Ellie finally discovered a crucial piece of information: the enemy warship's energy core experiences brief energy fluctuations each time it launches an attack, and these fluctuations reduce the shield's defensive capabilities.
"Lin Yu, I've found its weakness! We can concentrate our firepower on the energy core the moment it launches its attack!" Ellie shouted excitedly.
Lin Yu immediately adjusted tactics, directing the fleet to engage the enemy warships and wait for the optimal moment to attack. When the enemy warships launched another attack, Lin Yu seized the opportunity and shouted, "Attention all crew! Concentrate fire on the energy core! Open fire!"
The fleet's weapon systems instantly went into overdrive, unleashing powerful beams of energy towards the enemy warship's energy core. Under the intense barrage, cracks finally appeared in the enemy warship's shields, and its energy core suffered severe damage.
With a deafening roar, the enemy warship exploded violently, gradually disintegrating into fragments in space. Lin Yu and his fleet successfully repelled the attackers, but they knew this was only the beginning of a new crisis. What secrets lie behind the disaster in the Loya system? Does this unknown force have other accomplices? What challenges will Lin Yu and his fleet face next?
