Chapter 1782 We are just humble hounds
The Pilgrimage, which almost caused another tragedy just now, ignored the more than 300 large and small imperial warships behind it, and just turned around and sailed towards the starry sky on the other side. The dragon ship that should have belonged to the empire was just like that.
Even his movements when leaving were so mighty, domineering and handsome.
Watching this scene, Lieutenant General Midbexi only felt lingering fear in his heart, and his two limbs were fighting. He felt that he was not a qualified imperial general at all, but more like a sheep that escaped from the dragon's mouth and ascended to heaven.
Of course, this is no longer important. What is important is that he survived and did not follow in the footsteps of his old classmate Karaman. I promised the spirit of the universe that one of them is a young man from a noble family, and the other is a problem solver from an ordinary citizen family.
, they were enemies when they were students. But even so, Lieutenant General Midbexi really didn't want his old classmate whom he had known for thirty years to disappear. As for going down to accompany him or something, he would not be grateful.
When the Preview completely entered the gravity well and disappeared from the other side of the sky, Lieutenant General Midbesh finally withdrew his panic-filled eyes, squeezed out a dry smile, and ordered the adjutant: "Count the losses immediately."
The adjutant finally calmed down from his panic, nodded to the commander, then staggered away and conveyed his order. However, even when he repeated the commander's order,
There was a tremor in his voice, and he had not recovered from the shock just now.
However, this cannot be blamed on him. In fact, most of the officers and soldiers on the bridge of the Golden Skull were like this.
An hour ago, when the giant dragon carried the man across the sky, the spear formed by the light beam roared towards him, but it was blocked by a brave destroyer, who turned his body into a shield.
It is no longer important whether this destroyer is really brave and brave enough to serve as a shield for the flagship, or whether it is unlucky and has become a human shield.
The important thing is that they survived, but some died.
The battle damage report was soon tallied up: in addition to the sinking of the destroyer Zephyr 118, which acted as a human shield, two light cruisers were sunk. In addition, a heavy cruiser was seriously damaged. Overall, it is still within an acceptable range.
within.
Of course, this is while ignoring the damage to the flagship.
"The flagship Golden Skull was injured. The anti-matter torpedoes were concentrated on the starboard side, the No. 4 armor belt was completely damaged, and cabins D4 to D8 were broken."
Lieutenant General Midbexi first covered his chest and then touched his throat. Now he really wanted to sigh, "Is my head here?" However, what worried him even more was that he had just given his beloved ship justice.
What was stabbed in the back was not the ultimate anti-ship move of "The Dragon That Must Not Be Named", but an ordinary and mediocre fighter. This was actually a scene that was even more difficult for the Lieutenant General to accept.
The battle began at 3:25 a.m. on June 3.
Before the main force of the Imperial fleet prepared to jump out of Earl I Star Gap, their deep space probes also completed the most comprehensive reconnaissance. It was basically confirmed that the only enemy ship waiting at the entrance of the Star Gap ahead was the Dragon Ship Patrol.
The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army did not feel that they had been underestimated, nor did they even feel that they could bully the smaller ones. However, they were completely intimidated by the boldness of their swordsmanship.
Of course, they are more suspicious of what kind of trap this is.
After all, the opponent is that person, so one cannot be too careful.
However, after all, this is a whole fleet. If it is really blocked by a ship from the other side, the big guys of the Privy Council in Tianyu will really eat people.
Therefore, after a brief consideration, Lieutenant General Midbech decided to move forward. Of course, it must be based on the pre-arranged tactics. The entire army will use the battleship as the leader, the main guns will be warmed up in advance, and fighter planes will also take off at the same time.
Expand the protection of the escort class battleship.
All in all, it is necessary to highlight everything that is watertight.
The imperial fleet sailed out of Earl Star Gap with such a firm and tragic attitude, as if it was about to start a cruel fortress attack.
Of course, Lieutenant General Midbexi also felt the low loss of all the soldiers in the army, so he encouraged him: "Everyone, hold your heads high! Remember what His Royal Highness the Sand King said? He is still a mortal after all! He can do it
The one who was killed! The switch of the heavy cannon in your hands is the blade that can kill dragons and extraordinary things! Hold on to it!"
Well, no matter how much you shout about it, it is really not exciting, and the ingredients are still a bit complicated when it comes to detail. But no matter what, after all, Lieutenant General Midbesh can be regarded as leading by example, and it still provides a certain amount of motivation.
It works. Probably...
Therefore, this time, the entire process of the Midberg fleet, from the jump, to the formation, and finally to the bombardment, was much more efficient than ever before.
If they had shown today's qualities in all the past battles, Midbexi might already be a general.
The ferocious wave of firepower rippled in the air, forming a burning wall that was far stronger than armor and force field shields, as if it was about to ignite this dead universe.
After all, the enemy only has one person and one ship. Although he is a dragon, if we treat him as an enemy fortress and focus our main artillery fire, how will we deal with it?
Later, they sadly realized that the combination of Dragon Knight and new fighter aircraft seemed to work very well.
The dragon, which was more agile than any fighter plane, easily avoided the interception of the main gun on the front, accelerated towards the left wing, and immediately launched a charge. After giving the light cruiser on the flank two fierce blows, it retreated again to avoid it.
Received the concentrated fire of the Titanium Blade fighter.
At this time, the Earth fighter flying the light wing had already broken through the blockade of the Titanium Blade fighter, and headed straight for the gap created by the destruction of the cruiser.
They burrow into the cracks of armor like poisonous needles.
The empire's capital ships were even a little flustered for a while, and had to quickly switch to air defense mode. But even so, they were still pushed to a safe distance by the fighters and encountered lightning strikes.
Unfortunately, the flagship and a heavy cruiser were struck by mines.
Fortunately, they only gave the Earthlings a chance to be struck by lightning. Afterwards, three of the bright red-painted enemy planes were shot down, and the rest were driven away by intensive protective firepower and the escort fighters that came back.
What is even more gratifying is that this time the Earthling was unable to float to the side of the battleship like a ghost before launching an attack like last time. He was intercepted by his own artillery fire outside a safe gathering, and the "
"Long Night Meteor" also failed to hit its target, but only took down a destroyer that served as a scapegoat.
This may be because that destroyer is very heroic (unfortunate), brave (too) loyal, sincere, and unlucky, but more importantly, the "magic dragon whose name must not be mentioned" is blocked at a safe distance after all.
outside.
See? He's not omnipotent, never has been.
Of course, the Imperial Army could only comfort itself in this way.
Lieutenant General Midbech calmed down a little and concluded with his staff: "So, the summary of experience is that the firepower is not strong enough. If there is another dreadnought or three to four battle cruisers,
It is enough to use the main gun to compress his assault space, but you must pay attention to the enemy's new fighter aircraft. If you double the force, you will have the possibility of destroying it in one fell swoop, and it will also make harassing the enemy's new fighter aircraft useless.
And return."
"It would be even better if we could have our dragon knights to cooperate with us."
"But the empire can't afford to lose the dragon ship, right?"
"Then there must be a knight grandpa, right? A formal powerful person. Now the charge captains in our fleet are all knights! They don't even dare to take off their protective suits when they go out of space. Do they deserve to be psykers?
"
"Sure enough, it's because we don't have many masters in this fleet, so we have to be pushed out by the big masters as a scapegoat?"
"It's so ugly! This is persecution!"
Seeing that the discussion was going awry and becoming more and more dangerous, Lieutenant General Midbexi quickly spoke to bring the topic back on track.
"Anyway, let's send today's battle situation to the friendly fleets in the rear. Let them come over quickly to meet. Also, we need to find out why there is only one patrol ship. Where is the main force of the remaining fleet?"
"Could it be that the troops have been divided?" the chief of staff asked doubtfully.
"Split the troops? 600 warships and one ship, each leading the way?" Lieutenant General Midbeschi felt that this was unreasonable.
"Is there any problem with this?" The chief of staff thought there was no problem.
Well, it seems that there is indeed no problem. After all, that person can defeat an entire fleet by himself.
The lieutenant general asked casually: "Is there any news from the Lucknar Corridor?"
"The Tuosen fleet is still standing still. It is certain that it will wait until the Sobek fleet meets with him before continuing to move forward. However, the enemy patrol fleet that attacked him previously has already left."
"Hehehe, that old man doesn't show respect to Brother Sobaek. He is clearly slapping King Sand in the face! I have never heard that he is such a tough type!"
"There is also a rebellion in the Grand Duchy of Letalin." The Chief of Staff said quietly, his tone sounding like he was telling a ghost story.
Rebellion again? Lieutenant General Midbesh was silent for a few seconds, but then said: "What a sad news... But what does this have to do with us?"
"It doesn't matter. We are just ordinary imperial soldiers." said the chief of staff.
"Yes, let's talk about the next step of action. If we want to continue to pursue the Preview, we should at least wait until the other admirals arrive and take joint actions to ensure nothing goes wrong."
"That's what I mean."
"But, what if they really divide their forces according to your wishes? What should we do? If we really gather most of our forces to chase the Preview, where will the main force of the rest of the fleet be?"
"Perhaps they have already reached the Lucknar Corridor. The Tossen Fleet and the Sobek Fleet are in an embarrassing situation." The Chief of Staff looked like he saw the excitement of the friendly forces and did not think it was a big deal.
"Our situation is also very embarrassing." However, Lieutenant General Midbexi was filled with low pressure, and he just shrugged with a self-defeating look: "But, fortunately, we are not the ones who need to be responsible anyway."
"It's not us. Whether it's planning or decision-making, it has nothing to do with us." The chief of staff echoed: "We are just hounds, waiting for the master's whistle... As for who to hunt, it is not up to the hounds to decide.
