Because of the higher number of cities, Wang Dong spent two hours on the second habitable planet, using 21 rounds of main cannon ammo and 56 rounds of secondary ammo, earning 352 Source Points.
Main cannon ammo remaining: 85
Secondary cannon ammo remaining: 1920
Total Source Points: 736
The extra Source Points came from the continuing spread of the fire and flood disasters on the first habitable planet, which kept causing casualties.
At this point, the Battleships of the Yatai Star System had been mobilized and began forming defensive positions above the three habitable planets.
It was only when the first planet came under attack that the Yatai Civilization finally detected the presence of the uninvited guest—the Battle Axe.
However, deploying and positioning their Battleships took time.
Moreover, the Battleships of the Yatai Civilization, as a Level 1 Interstellar Civilization, were only capable of space operations and couldn't perform planetary descent combat.
They could only react passively.
Wang Dong paid them no mind. It wasn't easy to trap the Battle Axe.
Wang Dong had already visited two of the three habitable planets in the Yatai Star System. The last remaining planet had a completed Battleship defense grid.
But a planet's surface was vast. A few hundred Battleships couldn't possibly form a seamless net.
Without hesitation, Wang Dong used his speed advantage and the protection of the Energy Shield to break through a gap in the defense and descended onto the final habitable planet to wreak havoc.
The third planet had three megacities with over 100 million people and ten cities with populations between 70 and 100 million. In one and a half hours, Wang Dong used 18 main cannon shells and 78 secondary shells, earning 344 Source Points.
Main cannon ammo remaining: 67
Secondary cannon ammo remaining: 1842
Total Source Points: 1133
Wang Dong's first goal had been achieved.
But the slaughter would not stop.
The Yatai Civilization's fleets had completed their defense over all three habitable planets.
But it was useless!
Each planet had only around 700 Battleships in orbit—far from enough to stop the Battle Axe's sharp and agile strikes.
Using the main cannon to lead the assault, and with the help of the Shipboard AI Core and Sky-Survey Radar for targeting, Wang Dong destroyed 10 Battleships in 10 shots within ten minutes. Using 120 secondary rounds, he sank 21 more.
Without Mikowski Particles—those battlefield game-changers—the Battle Axe could achieve an extremely high hit rate.
The Yatai Civilization's fire control systems were far inferior to those of the Battle Axe. At long range, their hit rate was laughably low.
On rare occasions when they did score a hit, it merely caused a ripple on the Battle Axe's Energy Shield and depleted a bit of durability.
Which, of course, continuously regenerated.
After breaking through the thin defense perimeter, Wang Dong had the Battle Axe circle back and return to the first planet for a second wave.
The first round of attacks by the Battle Axe had focused on creating disasters.
Disasters caused ongoing damage and casualties—so the sooner they started, the better.
He had now gone through all three planets once.
Now it was time to kick them while they were down.
The main objective was to accelerate the spread of any disasters that had shown signs of slowing.
After one hour of follow-up attacks, using 17 main cannon shells and 90 secondary rounds, Wang Dong earned an additional 145 Source Points.
Main cannon ammo remaining: 50
Secondary cannon ammo remaining: 1752
Total Source Points: 1338
As the disasters expanded, Wang Dong's Source Points continued to grow.
Once the Battle Axe broke through the defenses and descended, the Yatai Civilization's space-based Battleships couldn't follow it to the surface. The planets' own defensive forces stood no chance of stopping the Battle Axe's destruction.
Missiles fired by planetary fighter jets couldn't even scratch the Battle Axe's armor. The ship simply bulldozed through the interference with overwhelming momentum.
Once enough resistance had gathered in one spot, Wang Dong would fire a round of secondary cannon blasts—clearing the area instantly.
Then, using the same tactics, Wang Dong relied on the Energy Shield and broke into the second planet once again.
In an hour—including the 31 Battleships destroyed while breaking through the defense grid—he used 27 main shells and 201 secondary shells, gaining 191 Source Points.
Main cannon ammo remaining: 23
Secondary cannon ammo remaining: 1551
Total Source Points: 1595
Then came the third planet.
Again spending an hour, and destroying 25 Battleships while breaching defenses, Wang Dong used 20 main shells and 239 secondary shells, earning 151 Source Points.
Main cannon ammo remaining: 3
Secondary cannon ammo remaining: 1312
Total Source Points: 1806
After that, Wang Dong had to stop.
He had only 3 main cannon rounds left—no longer safe to squander.
He stared at the three habitable planets, still teeming with population, and at the dozens of remaining enemy Battleships, his heart itching—but he could not act.
The main cannon was nearly out, and the secondary ammo was also running low.
He couldn't afford to use up all his ammunition. Without it, the Battle Axe would be nothing but a target.
Besides, he could already see that the populations on those planets had begun to evacuate. Forcing a breakthrough now would yield diminishing returns.
The cities that had been heavily damaged were now under organized rescue operations. Fires were under control, and casualties were dropping sharply.
