The words fell—
A barrage of huge cannon shells shot towards the starships in the sky, like a sudden burst of fireworks. As the dust settled—
Only clusters of flames could be seen erupting in the air!
Just like a fleeting meteor shower.
Within just a few seconds, the imposing fleet of starships that had arrived to collect their spoils of war was annihilated in the high sky. The main gun of the largest starship hadn't even finished charging when faced with this sudden attack.
Attacked, exploded, vaporized.
All at once.
When the smoke cleared, all that remained was a haze that hid the sky. Not a single fragment of a starship or a corpse could be seen.
The battle was over.
This was not an equal war. For a highly advanced society and civilization, a war could be over in an instant.
Ninety percent of casualties in wars were not caused by soldiers. Fully armed soldiers mostly played a supporting role, and mass-destruction weapons were the main source of damage in wars.
