The space of tens of thousands of kilometers wide between the Empire and the Red Pirates fleet was filled with interceptors and bombers with mechanical sect colors. Their reaction was like a group of angry insects. Although there were fighter aircraft formations on the Red Pirates' side, the number of just a few hundred was completely negligible in front of this vast fleet of aircraft.
"I've seen a ghost..."
From the moment he became a Space Marine, Kylekus had never seen so many fighters, and he didn't look down on these little things in the past.
After all, although fighter jets are fast and agile, they cannot survive under the pressure of huge firepower on them.
But today it seems that the situation is a little different. The pilots of the red fighter jets are not afraid of life and death, and they are desperate to attack the Red Pirates' air defense formation. Even if thousands of aircraft are destroyed, thousands will immediately surge up.
The air defense firepower of those small warships has begun to no longer be able to support them.
"Spine turret array charges, waiting for my order."
"Affect the order."
Kylkus looked at the holographic tactics. From the picture, the entire fleet was filled with hostile signs, and groups of red gathered around the ships, and these armored glasses could also be seen through the observation window.
He realized that they should not choose this place as a battlefield. Although they were far away from the firepower of the planetary orbit station, Angustorm's huge escort aircraft group was not counted in it at all. At this time, he supported the idea of ​​the fleet commander and war leader Mogaro Kale. At this time, the best way to break the situation was to send landing troops to Liuli 3 and destroy the enemy's hangar and star fort, so that they would take the initiative in fighting or retreating in the future.
The command deck was filled with whispering inquiries and reports from stupid servants, mixed with the brief and efficient combat conversations of Chaos Space Marines.
"Sir, the spine turret array is fully charged, do you want to order the fire?"
Kylkus glanced at the fleet's firepower distribution plan, sat in the command seat, leaned forward, massaged his hands on the seat armrest to make the metal gloves squeak, and then said:
"The target is locked in the enemy's imperial battleship alloy truth."
"Locked up!"
"Open fire!"
The long-range artillery of the retribution class poured out deadly firepower towards the alloy truth, causing the opponent's shield to flash. Then the Emperor-class battleship, which was providing a transit for the frontline fighter jets, began to turn, trying to escape from the hunting range of the Red Pirates' main battleship. At the same time, a volley was fired from the Eternal Loyal, hitting the Desperate Prayer, allowing Kelkus to feel the pressure of the shield.
"Shield energy is eliminated by 67%!"
"Shield coverage is reduced to 51%!"
“Start the emergency charging plan!”
Just as the ship's void shield was severely weakened and several huge gaps appeared, the ringtone rang, and the air defense detective was chirping and groaning with the alarm.
“There are multiple small target formations approaching from the third quadrant.”
Kylekus wanted to stand up but stopped immediately, and he had to remain calm, at least on the bridge.
"More enemy formations approached, interceptors and bombers! They came quickly, contacted 20 seconds later, 19, 18..."
"Alarm, alarm."
Kylekus quickly stood up from his seat and said loudly:
"All fighter jet formations are back to defense!"
"Sir! The fighter jet formation has been completely lost!"
Kylcus was stunned for a moment. It took only ten minutes for him to send an interceptor unit. The more than 60 fighter jets were gone now?
"The bombers approached! They fired torpedoes and missiles!"
Accompanied by the constant alarm, a group of red fury interceptors soared on the ridge of the Desperate Prayer, chasing the glowing tracer bullet flow, and using missiles and cannons to remove the small anti-aircraft turrets.
After a while, the ship began to shake, and dozens of Star Eagle bombers whizzed through the air. Even under the dense anti-intercept fire of the battleship, they dropped the bombs and missiles desperately, and then they were broken down by the anti-aircraft fire into luminous clouds of debris.
Kylkus heard it very clearly, and it was mixed with the muffled sound of a hot melt bomb piercing the armor.
“Damage situation.”
"Report! 5 places were broken down on the upper main deck, 3 places were broken down on the secondary armor belt, and the transmission of the main turret of No. 3 of the spine was damaged, and it is being repaired urgently!"
The damage is not serious, but Kylekus is really not easy at all because there are not many enemies.
"Void shield recovery situation?"
"91% recovered! All layers are within the limits of the best."
"Sir, the new enemy aircraft formation is approaching."
Kylekus glanced at the tactical display, and the dense spots of light were like stinging bees flying in the sky.
"The main gun continues to attack the Truth of Alloy and sends new launch schemes to all gun groups to destroy enemy aircraft before they get close to them."
The beam of light spear burst out in space, and the huge caliber secondary guns also roared, spreading high-speed foil strips around the spacecraft, forming a razor-like net that trapped the red fighter jets and tore them into pieces.
At this time, an unyielding light cruiser blocked the cannon line of Alloy Truth.
“Destroy it.”
When the port side cannon sounded, the ship began to shake. After 20 seconds, the cruiser trembled in the artillery fire. The void shield ruptured and the hull exploded from the crack. The flashing energy and flames crawled on the armor for a while, and then shattered into pieces.
"Sir, there are enemy fighter jets everywhere, and the gun crew can no longer completely intercept them!"
Kylekus stared at the tactical instrument, and various omens data were being entered into its computing center.
Soon, the new enemy became active, dazzling red, forming a huge net surrounding his ship.
"Don't let them get close to the stern and concentrate anti-intercepting fire to attack the abdomen, or they will tear us to pieces!"
Kylekus stood up from his seat, his connecting cable tugging at his nerves.
Then, the charge mode shell flashed across the port side like ripples, and the sparkling ammunition flew quickly through the air-
"Assault wing, carry out precise strikes on grid 1-1-9."
The voice of the commander of the Angustom fighter jet company spread throughout the communication.
"Missile disengagement, missile disengagement!"
When the missile was launched, the enemy's intercepting firepower arrived later, and dozens of furious aircraft were smashed to pieces.
But the rockets launched successfully opened the gap in the weak part of the Void Shield, and the larger Star Eagle joined the attack, released a series of revenge missiles, filling the void in front of them with explosive and spinning shrapnel.
Although such a barrage attack will never cause more significant damage to such a huge warship, it can reduce the enemy's speed when attacking the enemy's engine
With this opportunity, the assault wings entered one after another, continued to attack the tail of the enemy warship, and flew towards the Alloy Maru after all the ammunition was dropped.
At this time, there are only 21 fighter jets left in the entire formation. They will quickly replenish ammunition in the hangar of the Metal Truth, and then form a new formation with the remaining fighter jets of other formations to launch another attack. After using the ammunition for the second time, they will go straight back to Liuli No. 3, and perform rapid repairs and fuel replenishment there, and reorganize again, and conduct a new round of attacks.
