Just like the Central State, the entire Great Shang was armed and ready, awaiting the enemy's arrival.
...
In the pitch-black starry sky, a giant metal crawler several kilometers long writhed as it slowly approached Blue Star.
Gravity seemed to have no effect on it, unable to influence its trajectory in the slightest.
Following behind the colossal creature were several more of the same size, an immense fleet heading straight for Blue Star.
"Activate defense mechanisms!"
Having detected the enemy, the satellite defense system immediately activated. Several laser beams shot toward the massive lead crawler.
HISS! HISS!
The lasers struck the giant crawler's body, burning a bright spot that quickly vanished into the void of space.
The satellites had limited energy and couldn't maintain continuous fire. A beam of that intensity was less than a tickle.
