As the capital of the Kepler Star Sector, half of the Star Sector's fleets were stationed at Kepler all year round, numbering as many as five billion. However …
It was hard to say what their actual combat strength was.
Just like now …
In the monitoring station on Raby's orbit.
The three personnel on duty were bragging and did not take their important job seriously at all. Even when the alarm in the monitoring station sounded, the three of them did not turn their heads to look in the direction of the console.
After all, they were already used to this kind of alarm!
One had to know that the Empire's fleets had a friend or foe identification system, and because of this system, the Empire's warships could not attack each other.
Then, there was a problem.
If they could not attack each other, how were these noble young masters going to carry out the so-called "live-fire exercise"?
The answer was simple, turn off the IFF (Friend or Foe identification device) and it was over!
Therefore, every time these young masters carried out a "live-fire exercise", they would turn off the IFF, and then the alarm in the orbital monitoring station would ring!
In addition, the Star System Kepler, where the administrative planet Raby was located, had a total of five billion Empire's warships stationed there. The Weiss Star System had long been unified and there were no foreign enemies at all.
Moreover, even if all the pirate groups in the entire Pirate Alliance were added together, they would only have a little more than a billion warships. They did not dare and did not have the strength to target Raby.
Therefore, in their logic, the alarm would not ring at all unless the group of noble young masters had started a "live-fire exercise" again.
This was the reason why the three people on duty in the monitoring station did not pay attention to the alarm.
On average, it would come once every two to three days. After thousands of years, anyone would have become numb to it …
However, they did not know that …
Today, the group of noble young masters did not arrange a "live-fire exercise" to liven things up.
A total of 2.8 billion warships exited hyperspace and came to a place only five AU away from Raby.
"Report the situation!"
"Leader, the Empire's fleet stationed in Kepler did not react at all. It's as if … they did not notice us."
The deputy reported to Lance with a strange expression.
"No reaction?"
'What's going on?
'I have a total of 28 warships, and they are warships that are not recorded in the Empire's database!
Anyone who saw this would be nervous and immediately order the stationed fleet to attack and enter combat mode, right?
'No matter how rotten the nobles are, they should not have no reaction …'
To be honest, Lance was a little confused.
"Um … Leader, may I know why?"
On the side, a staff officer spoke with a hint of awkwardness.
"Hmm? Wayne, I remember that you were originally working on Planet Rabi, right? "
Looking at the staff officer, Lance remembered that Wayne had been serving on Planet Rabi and had responded to his call to come to Planet Sela.
Then, he would indeed know the situation here.
"Yes, I've been serving on Planet Rabi as the leader of the orbital monitoring station. In fact …"
Soon, after hearing Wayne's narration, everyone in the bridge widened their eyes in disbelief.
When Lance heard about the so-called "live-fire exercise", his eyes almost burst into flames.
What did these guys take the lives of the empire's soldiers for?
However, this was also a good thing. After all, most of the Empire's soldiers were civilians, and it was best to avoid fighting if possible.
Since the other party still didn't know that he was here, he might as well capture the leader first!
"Order Al to lead a Rank-7 fleet to Rabi, remove all the defense facilities in orbit, and complete the orbital space battle on the surface. Take down all the nobles, especially Ausar!"
"Tell him, as long as one of them escapes, he will go back to being a soldier again!"
"Yes, Leader!"
"As for the other fleets, immediately form an encirclement formation and surround the starport group where the garrison fleet is located. Any warship that leaves the starport will be destroyed!"
"Yes, Leader!"
The huge fleet immediately acted and split into two groups.
In the orbital space station, the three people on duty were still bragging, ignoring the sirens that were still ringing non-stop.
"I say, can't you guys turn off the sirens, it's so annoying!"
"That's true, wait a moment, I'll turn it off!"
With that, the man got up and returned to the console, ready to turn off the sirens.
However, just as he was about to operate it, he looked at the content displayed on the interface and was suddenly stunned.
"Damn it, what are you doing, don't tell me you forgot how to operate it?"
"Stop messing around, I'm annoyed by this sirens, hurry up and turn it off!"
When the other two saw it, they could not help but complain loudly.
However, at the next moment, the person in front of the console did something that the two of them did not expect!
They saw him pick up a device from the console, operate it a few times, and then shouted with a frightened voice …
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!! "
However, it was all too late!
An attack accurately hit the orbital monitoring station, turning it into cosmic dust in an instant.
This was not the end.
More attacks continued to arrive, destroying the unprepared defense platforms, fortresses, and so on on the orbit one by one, until …
Only wreckage was left in the orbit of Rabi Star …
On the other side, the starport group where the fleet was stationed in the capital was completely surrounded by the 2.7 billion warships commanded by Lance.
The cannons of all the warships had been fully charged and were ready to fire at any time.
"Notify all the imperial fleets stationed here that you have been surrounded."
"From this moment on, any warship that leaves the starport or shows any signs of resistance will be destroyed immediately!"
"Do not make any futile resistance, surrender immediately!"
Lance's voice was transmitted to all the imperial warships through the star broadcast.
Dumbfounded!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
We're surrounded?
Are you kidding me? We have five billion warships here. Where did these pirates come from?
"Get to the bottom of this! What the hell is going on?"
In the largest and most gorgeous starport, James, the commander of the Kepler Starfield fleet, roared angrily!
"Commander, we have detected a large number of warships surrounding our entire starport group, and their cannons are fully charged and ready to attack at any time."
"How is that possible? Why didn't the orbital monitoring station give any warning?"
"The orbital space station has been destroyed. Currently, a fleet has surrounded Rabi Star and is conducting an orbital airborne landing!"
"Boom …"
James felt as if his head had been hammered.
Rabi Star was not an ordinary administrative planet. It was the capital of the entire Kepler Starfield. Almost 90% of the high-ranking nobles in the Starfield lived here.
If something went wrong, he would definitely be finished!
"Damn it, when did the Pirate Alliance have such powerful combat power?"
Even at this time, James still thought that the fleet outside was a pirate fleet.
However, he did not expect the entire Pirate Alliance to act together.
Moreover, the size of this fleet was twice as large as what he knew!
"Commander, this … doesn't seem to be a pirate fleet!"
