"Obviously, Huron plans to leave the battlefield here and go to join the part of the forces that are fighting against the Salamander Team fleet, because it is the weakest part of our defense. If Huron can concentrate his efforts to break through the blockade of Salamander and other battle groups, then they can attack the Dark Angels from the rear, and then he will be able to rescue his troops who are deeply trapped in the battlefield of Destruction Moon..."
On the bridge of the Eternal Loyalty, Soshiyan, who had just returned from the space waste, had no time to rest and immediately began to pursue and deploy the pursuit. The team command layer surrounded him, and his images and sounds also spread to the bridges of most of the main battleships after communication was restored.
"If this is the case, then Huron will not be a complete defeat. Even if we destroy the new Badabu in the future, he still has the possibility of a comeback. After all, he almost escaped from Badabu at the beginning, and he cannot underestimate this person's ability."
He now wants to use the shortest time and the most concise explanation to everyone why he didn't chase the Huron flagship but another cruiser. After all, Okam's affairs are shameless. If he turns silently, others will always be confused.
"And the current direction of Huron's flagship Destruction Ghost and most of the main ships is the battlefield where Kosaro Khan blocks Zhu Fu. This is extremely abnormal. Zhu Fu is a member of the Black Legion. He only has a threat to Huron at the moment. Huron has no reason to go in that direction. Then we can make a judgment that Huron has already left the flagship in order to escape, and he is now on this marked murder-class cruiser!"
After making such a conclusion, Soshiyang immediately made arrangements to form a pursuit fleet with three ships closest to the target, the Unbound Soul, Eternal Loyalty and Soul Messenger, as the core, and at the same time, he ordered the Minotao fleet to intercept the opponent from one side.
The Mantis Warriors and the Meat-Tearer were too far away to carry out this mission because they pursued the Destruction Ghost. Although Soshiyan was actually willing to give up the credit for killing Huron to others, but things have developed so they could only give up. They also ordered the ships chasing the Destruction Ghost not to chase too far, otherwise they might be killed by the other party if they escaped from the main cover.
Anyway, as long as Huron is killed, the war will be over, and some fish that have escaped will not cause any storm.
It seems that in order to confirm Soshiyang's judgment, many Red Pirate ships began to move closer to Huron's real "flagship". Originally it was just a small team, but now it has become a large team of more than a dozen ships.
However, there were no main ships inside, so Soshiyang was not worried.
Soon, three ships formed a commando formation and swept over the edge of the decomposed waste ship, the engine burned with maximum efficiency, the Eternal Loyal took the central command position, and two other ships formed a loose triangular formation on the combat plane, adjusting the angle to expand the main fire perforation to the widest.
Since there was no damage before, the three ships were in the best condition. With the full output of the engine, the gap between the fleets narrowed, and the fleeing Red Pirate formation remained unchanged. They were not as messy as before, but maintained at a stable speed and united to form a classic lattice formation.
This made Soshyan firmly convinced that it was Huron who was in charge.
In the empire, every student who entered the Naval Academy will always learn the first lesson from the teachers - in the void war, formation is everything. In the open void, the defense of a fleet depends entirely on its overlapping formation, and the attack of a fleet also depends entirely on the combination of each other's firepower level. In the process of a fleet's transfer or retreat, a formation that can cover each other is also the most important.
The Red Pirates' escape formation clearly implements the characteristic of "covering each other".
Although it seems that he is fleeing in a hurry, each warship protects the sides of other warships, leaving no opportunity for attackers to take advantage of.
Unfortunately, after a long battle, the Red Pirates' ships were already very poor in both quantity and condition. Due to the extremely threatening attack direction of the Minotao fleet, the fleeing fleet had to spend more time on roundabout maneuvers.
So, all that remains is the competition between speed and short-range strategies.
At the same time, many destroyers and frigates were also slowing down the speed of the Red Pirates fleet. They bravely avoided the incoming artillery fire, maintained a chain formation, and constantly attacked the ships at the tail and side of the Red Pirates with their own not-so-powerful weapons.
After more than ten minutes of chasing, the three main battleships of the Astral Knights began to fight Huron's escape fleet.
The three fierce battleships were unstoppable among a bunch of plundering ships and light cruisers, as if tigers had entered a flock, but Soshyan ordered that the small ships were not specifically concerned. The three battleships fired together, cleared the narrow tunnel, and fired another torpedo salvo, followed by dense macro cannons and light spears on the side.
Such fierce firepower shattered the Void Shield and bent the gold armor. Two speeding Red Pirate destroyers disappeared into the disaster-like explosion, and several ships were paralyzed or destroyed in the flames, including a massacre-class cruiser.
But this is not the main target of the raid.
When the three chasing battleships approached the target, the hangar door of each warship opened with hissing, blew of oxygen into the void.
Immediately after waves of boarding torpedoes rushed out of the launch tube, gathering and dispersing until they locked the target of attack.
At the same time, although the warships are still at the attack speed, the gunboat formation, which is the second wave of attack, is launched into a battlefield full of wreckage and laser fire. These small attack boats aim at the giant beasts in front of them and roar towards the target. All the soldiers inside are excited because the victory of this expedition will be witnessed by them.
The torpedo boarded the ship and other similar species passed through the combat ball area, spinning through the explosive clouds, and the contemplators inside quickly made trillions of calculations, trying to deliver them to their targets.
Soshiyan also boarded a stormbird. After all, Huron is a tycoon of the Great Vortex. His final struggle should not be underestimated. The ship may also carry his most elite force. He must solve this battle himself, otherwise the casualties may be very large.
After approaching the target, the Stormbird fired a series of bombardment and rushed into the torso of the ship amid the cracking of the armor plate. The buffer made a harsh scream like a banshee, and then stopped creakingly as the tangled molten iron was squeaking.
