Chapter 561: The Destruction of the Glassian Planet (I)

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Both side’s technological differences weren’t big. As for targeting the light-speed target such as the Reactionless Drive vessel, there were no specialized weapons to fight against it. Just like during the previous war when Mankind was suddenly faced with supersonic missiles, besides using anti-aircraft gun shooting at the sky blindly and trying their luck, there’s no option.

The dangers of the energy ray had spread throughout the fleet’s expedition route as if it was a road to death. Each step taken was a step towards their possible doom.

Three hours later, another war vessel had just left the Curvature Flight and drifted along in the darkness of space.

Quickly following after that vessel was another war vessel.

All the human warship flight crews had a stern look on their faces, not a single one of them was afraid. No one knew who would be the next, but all of them had fully prepared mentally. As the first wave and spearhead of the Reactionless Drive vessel fleet, they were the ones who would be facing the most dangerous task in this expedition. All of them had realized the high probability of death before departing for the mission.

”Distance from the first target, 3 light days remaining!”

The reminder from the A.I. made the warship’s commander, Hou Shuwen tightly clench his fist. He estimated that there were 12 hours before their first contact with the Glassians. But this was also the most dangerous 12 hours.

.....

Compared with the Humans, the Glassian society had gone into total chaos. Within the flourishing city, where there were originally peace and order, terror and chaos ran rampant. The entire Glassian society was a mess.

”The Aliens are coming!”

”We are doomed!!”

Within the two years of emergency war status, the Glassian Government had portrayed Mankind as a force of evil and not a target to be reckoned; to unify all their people. The consequence suffered when their government had announced the emergency warning, requesting all their people enter the underground fortification, was that it sent the whole society into fear.

The spaceport was located near the Residential Planet. A vast number of airships ignored the prohibition order and abandon their planet in all sorts of directions, trying to escape from the potential war zone.

Most of the airship owners were commoners and the guards that were stationed at the Space Port hesitating for a moment, not preventing the people from escaping. All of a sudden, a surge of airships had joined the deserting fleets.

The long sustained peace had long diminished the Glassians' fighting spirit. When faced with a weak opponent, they were able to stand tall and proud and fight back. Now, when faced with death and terror, none of them had a peace of mind.

There were worse situations, the Reactionless Drive fleet that was stationed near the residential planet awaiting commands couldn’t stand the stress and pressure. Resulting in those ships that were not far away from the residential planet to initiate their curvature engines and join the deserters. The spatial disruption by the warships had caused a huge disaster on the nearby planet, half of the planet’s gadgets and electronics had turned into scrap metal in a blink of an eye. Most of the nearby space defense weaponry and equipment were sabotaged. No doubt that this had put the Glassian in a very bad situation.

Even before the arrival of the human’s war fleet, the Glassian society had quickly crumbled.

An old Glassian, covered in wrinkled skin, quietly looked at the spatial wavelength source from the holographic screen in the office of the Glassian head of capital. Strings of bad news and the loss of order on society caused him to lose hope.

Originally, when faced with a crisis that would threaten the Glassian Civilisation, they should have been united as one. But now, all he could feel was that he had slowly lost control over the country.

When he had finally received the news of the mass desertion at the Spaceport in which the 3 vessels of the Reactionless Drive battle fleet had also joined the desertion, the incident had already happened half an hour ago.

When he had finally heard what had happened, he felt that his world was spinning and almost fainted. When he had finally gained a grip on himself, he yelled in anger, ”This is treason! THIS IS TREASON!!! Destroy the invaders! Also….. let the troops mandatory summon and control their respective airships.”

These airships were the Glassians' last hope. Although it couldn’t carry all the Glassians, at least it would save the Glassian from extinction.

As for the destruction of over half a planets amount of defensive weaponry brought by the Reactionless Drive War Fleets, he had already ignored those incidents.

”It’s over, over…. The Glassian are doomed.”

His heart had filled up with despair and hatred, despair against humanity's strength and hatred towards the colleagues who had restricted him and his geographical influence. Finally, it filled with hatred towards those businessmen who were not cooperative.

The Glassian weren’t even supposed to fall into such a desperate situation. If they were to band together and show their true strength, it would be more than enough to last through this crisis. Even if they discovered the danger, the Glassian society still wouldn’t be able to change their nature and they can’t completely enter total wartime status.

Not even 1% of the Glassians' true strength was displayed, as for the commitment for military matters. There were absolutely no efforts in committing to military matters.

The Glassian were loosely ruled over, their jurisdiction was not centralized. There’s also limited central constraints and local authority had most of the governing power. If the effect was not great during the time of peace. When it came to the time of war, such a scattered governing body would not be able to respond to the matter accordingly.

However, as to hating these matter, he hated his previous predecessor even more. That idiot who couldn’t do anything at all, if not for the long gone predecessor that had ordered the expedition on earth, the Glassian wouldn’t be facing such threat now.
