From the beginning when the other party came to him, Huron did not really want to hand over the Black Stone Fortress to the other party. No matter what it was, after all, there are not many things in the Galaxy now. Perhaps it is the key capital for him to compete with Abaddon in the future.
How can you hand over such things without life and death?
So if we can defeat Soshiyan without using Blackstone Fortress, then there is still a saying about the ownership of Blackstone Fortress. The conditions we talked with the other party at the beginning actually meant that the war was over. As long as it did not end, then—
Huron's confidence did not come for no reason. He believed that his existing power and death map would definitely catch Soshiyan off guard.
Soshiyang was indeed a little surprised by the second mysterious waste ship that suddenly appeared. However, after looking at the power at hand, he felt that the problem was not that big. After all, he also had his own trump card.
After several divisions, the central fleet he led still had 68 main battleships!
This huge fleet includes 2 Oberon-class battleships, 1 Emperor-class battleship, 1 Apocalypse-class battleship, 1 Jupiter-class battleship, 4 Revenge-class large cruisers, 3 Dictator-class cruisers and 5 Moon-class cruisers, a total of 17 main battleships, and there are more than 20 combat barges in each battle group. Among them, the Minotao Group alone has 3 combat barges, and they are all transformed from battleships. At the same time, they also have 8 strike cruisers, which are the most powerful fleet among the dozen participating battle groups.
The second is the Knight of the Star Realm, which has 1 battle barge (Soul Messenger), 3 large cruisers (Eternal Loyalty, Unbound Soul, Silver Redemption - the former Red Pirate Executioner-class large cruiser Blood Glory. He was injured and captured in the first Angstrom naval battle. He basically completed the restoration work before the final battle. He left Angstrom dock and joined the combat sequence), 2 moon-class cruisers, 6 strike cruisers (only 2 left after the Second Angstrom naval battle, Reza added 2, Ulanhuda added 2), and then there is the White Temple, which has 9 main battleships. The battle group in the future is basically 2-4 main battleships, and there are also some battleships of the Mechanical Cult.
There are 110 small and medium-sized warships.
In terms of absolute quantity, it is less than Huron, but in terms of firepower and quality, it is definitely a crushing Huron, but that huge waste ship is a big trouble. The Red Pirates can use its cover to drag the front line to a distance of enough to launch the Jue Gang. At this time, the empire's great disadvantage in military strength will be reflected. The number of space warriors that Soshiyang can command is not enough to defend each main battleship, not to mention those small and medium-sized warships, once they are Jue Gang, they will soon lose their combat effectiveness.
Therefore, just looking at the fleet's strength can easily make people blindly optimistic, but the actual situation is actually very serious.
However, the Red Pirates' fleet also has some serious problems. First of all, the space waste ship is not fast. It is obvious that it is difficult to get up quickly if it is fast. The Red Pirates use it as the support point and will inevitably move around it, so the activity space of the entire fleet is greatly limited.
Secondly, the Red Pirates' warships were not well prepared, and many of them had not been completely repaired after the Second Battle of Angustom, and some were activated from ships sealed by New Badab. The commanders and crew were not completely familiar with each other, which led to a great difference in speeds of the Red Pirates' ships. Once they acted or were hit suddenly, the formation would easily be loosened.
The biggest advantage of the Imperial Fleet is its good combat readiness. The state of each ship has been adjusted to its peak before the war. Moreover, Soshiyan believes that every order he has been ordered unconditionally.
Under such judgment, Soshiyan then formulated a "very classical" tactic and ordered the Minotao fleet at the end of the team to launch an assault from one side to the side of the Red Pirates fleet, while the main fleet turned from the Red Pirates to the right in a single column.
If someone who doesn't know the inside story probably thinks that Soshiyan is going to kill someone with a knife. Although he does hate these guys, in fact, only they can perform this tactic, because Minotao has the three fastest and thickest combat barges in the fleet, and they are also the best team to be at this group assault tactic.
Astraion had no comment or reply to Soshiyan's order, but their fleet quickly left the main fleet and used its speed advantage to maneuver to one side quickly.
At this time, the two sides had already begun to exchange fire. The Apocalypse-class battleship, the farthest-range in the Imperial Fleet, took the lead in firing. This type of battleship is equipped with the most powerful tracking and firing sensors and special energy processing devices, which can briefly double the range of the light spear array on its side.
The dazzling red beam penetrated the darkness and hit the huge space waste ship, but was blocked by the black energy shield.
Then more battleships and large cruisers fired, creating a dazzling light show in space. In response, the main battleships in the Red Pirates also fired and fought back, but because many of them were hiding behind or on the side or even below the scrap ship, their shooting world was disturbed to a certain extent.
The fierce shelling of both sides quickly slowed down the speed of the space waste ship. Some fire-penetrating shields hit its twisted shell. Whether it was the brass pyramid or the crystal tower, they were directly erased. The crazy demons were strangled in the physical universe without any means, and finally returned to sub-space to wait for evil again.
However, this is not enough to eliminate this huge tumor.
The fire exchange in less than twenty minutes caused both sides to start to suffer losses. Two moon-class cruisers on one side of the Imperial Fleet were sunk, one large Revenge-class cruiser was sunk, the combat barge from the Wretchers was damaged and one third of the deck was in a fire and had to withdraw from combat. There were 11 small and medium-sized ships sunk or withdraw from combat. One large cruiser on the Red Pirate side was sunk, three cruisers were sunk and seriously injured. The Pastor was severely damaged and the upper deck was caught in a fire. The speed of more than twenty small and medium-sized warships and demon warships were sunk.
Judging from the war loss, the Empire suffered a little loss, but if you look at the hull of the abandoned ship that had been beaten to the smoke, you will know that it absorbed most of the firepower released by the Imperial single-row array.
