Chapter 173 Temporary retreat
Over time, a small number of starfish people who have divergent their minds have a bold guess in their minds - whether the Ether Dragon has left.
But thoughts are just thoughts after all, and they are just thoughts that occasionally have divergent thoughts. Even those who think so quickly forget about them, let alone others.
Until this time, a fleet of starfish players chased Liu Xinwu's fleet to this galaxy. Originally, he thought that Liu Xinwu would not chase after him and let him die. However, a player in the fleet suddenly mentioned that he saw scattered human players coming out of the galaxy from time to time.
The fleet commander's heart moved and suddenly thought about entering the famous Ether Dragon Galaxy, so he chased after him.
When they passed through the hyperspace channel with a nervous mood in their arms and saw the fleet ambushing outside the wormhole, they were not surprised but happy. An unbelievable thought came to everyone's mind, and they didn't care much about even if they started a battle with a flagship light aircraft carrier that was sunk.
At this time, this Starfish Fleet, from the commander to the ordinary captain, had long left the pursuit of the enemy behind. In Fang Ning's opinion, the Starfish Fleet seemed to be attacking in full swing. In fact, they didn't think so at all. They just wanted to get close to the center of the galaxy to confirm one of their speculations.
So at this time, in Fang Ning's eyes, the enemy's full attack was actually just blocking the other party's way.
One wanted to enter the center of the galaxy from the edge of the gravitational well, while the other thought that the enemy wanted to attack the colony directly, so he naturally had to resist with all his strength. The battle situation quickly entered a state of intense heat, and the damage to the war suddenly became exaggerated.
Battleships were hit by artillery fire, and the thick shields were wiped out. When the shields were exhausted, the thick external armor was exposed to the void, and thick energy beams hit the hull. Large pieces of armor were torn apart by powerful energy, and they flew into the void.
Moth-like space fighter jets flew out from the two heavy voyages and the remaining four light voyages, lined up like swarms and passed through the gaps of the warships, leaping through the dense artillery and beams between the two fleets, and pounced on the frigate group of territory.
A light aircraft carrier is about five kilometers long, and a heavy aircraft carrier is about eight kilometers long. Compared with the slender body of the warship, the aircraft carrier has thicker shields, higher armor, and more bloated hulls. Except for a small number of small and medium-sized and P-type point-trough weapons, the aircraft carrier is not equipped with any large weapons, and some are thousands of space fighters.
Generally speaking, a light aircraft is equipped with about 3,000 space fighter jets, and a heavy aircraft is equipped with more than 8,000 fighter jets. With an appropriate number of escort fleets, an aircraft carrier can be used as a small fleet.
This is also the origin of the aircraft carrier being called a flagship, either with super firepower like a dreadnought or a Titan, or with an aircraft carrier itself as a fleet.
The specifications of space fighters are generally not large, generally about ten meters long and are similar to moths, but their wings are not very wide, so they minimize space occupation on aircraft carriers and have extremely fast flight speed and flexibility. The weapons they are equipped with are generally small laser cannons and kinetic artillery dedicated to fighter aircraft. If you perform bombing tasks, such as orbital bombing on planets, you can replace them with explosive weapons such as missiles.
Two heavy and four light-aircraft ships, more than 20,000 small space fighters were attacking overwhelmingly, and the threat to them in that moment exceeded the battle artillery array on the opposite side.
The ultra-high speed and flexibility of fighter jets are difficult to hit, and they usually rely on P slot points to prevent close-range strafing.
This is the absolute restraint of troops and weapons. Even if the full matrix will of the servant of Light can accurately calculate even if the space fighter's trajectory is added to a hundred times, the normal naval gun will lose its aiming and cannot be locked at all.
In fact, P slot point defense does not have an absolute locking function. The reason why this weapon can restrain missiles and space fighters is its super fast firing rate, with a speed of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of rounds per minute, and tens of thousands of bullets swept through at one breath. The space fighter is so flexibly facing this all-round barrage coverage.
Tens of thousands of space fighters rushed to the face, and in an instant, countless bullet links and flames cut through the void. A large number of space fighters volleyed, but more of them rushed in through the barrage, and rushed into the group with the warship shields like wasps and circled around the warships, constantly shooting out small lasers or kinetic shells.
The weapons of space fighter jets are quite powerful. One ship is equipped with two laser cannons or kinetic artillery, which is equivalent to a small slot of S. In other words, in terms of firepower, it is equivalent to a frigate, but its defense is far less than that of a frigate.
If frigates are cannon fodders in space naval battles, space fighters are cannon fodders among cannon fodders, so space tactics are generally drones, and even if they are lost, there will be no personnel losses.
Fang Ning stood in front of the bridge like a mirror with his waist. Through the huge protection of his mind in front of the flagship, he could see the chaotic battlefield full of flexible figures of space fighter jets, most of which belong to the enemy. On their side, Liu Xinwu had a light flight. The stock of fighter jets lost most of their previous escapes, and now he dared not fight against enemy aircraft.
A space fighter rushed from the front of the bridge, and a escort ship lit up somewhere in the hull in the distance. A light belt formed by tens of thousands of bullets shot from a P-trough cannon swept across, directly knocking the fighter into two pieces, ramming the thick shield in front of the bridge with flames, exploding a huge spark.
In the distance, fighter planes are constantly being exploded, and occasionally you can see unmanned fighter planes directly hitting the warship and causing death.
Hundreds of space fighters were rotating back and forth around a cruiser. A large arc beam broke through the cruiser's shield in the distance. Hundreds of space fighters around rushed up like flies that smelled fishy. The dense artillery fire tore the thick armor of the warship and the hull to pieces, and large balls of flames spewed out from the cracks in the hull.
"boom!"
A dazzling light column with a diameter of more than twenty meters penetrated the battlefield. One gun pierced a huge hole in the hull of an escort ship and disintegrated it into a huge fireball. The remaining force hit the shield of a battle cruiser behind the escort ship. The heart-wrenching terrifying power directly tore the energy shield of the battle cruiser, and smashed the hull on the right side of the battle cruiser to pieces on the spot.
This is an energy beam fired from the T-trough main gun of a Starfisher Dreadnought. The target of the attack was probably a huge battle cruiser, but an escort ship blocked the gun.
The T-trough main gun of the Dreadnought is not as powerful as the Titan Light Spear dedicated to the Titan Super Flag, but it is not something that a warship can withstand. If there is no escort ship to block the gun, one shot can directly explode a battle patrol that is dissatisfied with state.
Fortunately, the cooling time for this thing to fire is as high as ten minutes, and it takes several minutes to charge, and even if it is continuously fired, it takes about fifteen minutes to fire.
The servant of Light has long noticed its existence. Every time the opponent fires a cannon fodder, he will send a gun to block the gun. From the start of the war, the two dreadnoughts on the opposite side have fired eight guns, sinking a total of six battleships and an escort ship.
Any T-slot main gun attacking the flagship below is basically considered to be a flash kill, but the super long standby time seriously restricts its combat effectiveness, so the main function of super flags such as the Dreadnought or Titan is not to let it fight, but to rely on its powerful main gun to deter and decapitate.
After all, it is too powerful. It is completely crushed when facing an opponent without a super flag. If you take your command ship with one shot, you will be a big fuck.
Because there are dreadnoughts opposite, Fang Ning's flagship and Liu Xinwu's light voyage have been hiding at the end since the war started, with numerous warships in front blocking them and not showing up at all.
"It won't work if this continues!"
Although a war will not last for a few days, it is no problem for a few hours. The other party will stare at valuable warships such as your battleships. Two dreadnoughts can sink eight ships in an hour, and forty ships in five hours. The loss is not too great, but it is still very annoying that you can't fight back when you are beaten.
He rubbed his chin with his hands, thinking about whether to do some small movements quietly.
But at this moment, the Starfish Fleet suddenly slowed down its offensive. Fang Ning frowned, God's perspective unfolded, and his consciousness instantly covered the entire galaxy. The first wave was not discovered. The second scan noticed several unmanned detectors in the void that were not far from the battlefield and the ring world, which had been roughly scanned before and thought were fragments of wreckage. I don't know when they secretly released it. Anyway, it is now certain that they discovered the space station and colony in the center of the ring world.
Starfish man on a fearless flagship bridge, several starfish man gathered around a virtual sand table and watched the scene sent by the unmanned detector. Everyone was very excited. One of the starfish man with dark red skin waved his tentacles and shouted excitedly:
"I didn't expect that Leviathan had left."
Another starfish man held his tentacles into a ball and smashed hard on the edge of the virtual sand table:
"This ring world belongs to us, and humans do not deserve it."
The third starfish man turned around and strode to the command seat and waved his tentacles:
"Prepare to withdraw the YO106 galaxy and join the Second Fleet to defeat human resistance in one fell swoop."
The order was issued layer by layer. In Fang Ning's eyes, after the enemy used a large number of space fighters to cushion, the fleet began to evacuate in an orderly manner.
Li Wan seized the opportunity to eat up a large number of space fighters, but there was no way for the evacuated fleet. The enemy retreated in an orderly manner when they had the advantage. They had no way to intercept them. At most, the opponent gave up a small number of fleets behind the palace to cover the main force to evacuate.
Fang Ning stood on the bridge and watched them evacuate without taking action. Looking at the existing functions of the universe in his palm, the means of capturing them all in one go are earth-shaking and not suitable for use in front of others.
You should know that more than just the players in the territory are paying attention to this battle. Now there are players who are already broadcasting live on the forum. He dare not use those earth-shaking ultimate moves.
"We have to think of a new and effective method!"
Seeing these aliens coming and leaving as soon as they want, Fang Ning was a little annoyed.
After the battle, a frigate was sent to clean the battlefield and salvage the wreckage of the sinking ship, especially the light aircraft carrier, which would have good things on the wreckage.
Let the fleet defend around the wormhole on the spot to prevent the starfish from jumping over again. At the same time, put some unmanned detectors through the wormhole to see what the starfish are doing on the other side. Fang Ning connected Liu Xinwu's communication and said to him directly:
"In the past, this galaxy had a top Leviathan etherozo, so the Starfish people have always regarded it as a forbidden place, and I can develop it secretly, but now they have discovered that we have colonized this galaxy, and I can also guess what I will face next. If there is any internal strife, it will only be cheaper for foreign races."
He paused for a moment and asked Liu Xinwu to digest this sentence well.
Liu Xinwu looked at each other with the staff and assistants on the side, and turned around and asked:
"What do you mean? Do you want to annex my fleet? You know, my fleet is the third battle group of the Snowshenshan Legion, and is affiliated with the Five-Star Snowshenshan Legion. If you want to annex my fleet, I agree that the legion will not agree."
Fang Ning shook his head:
"I have no interest in your fleet, but after all, your strength is not weak and it poses a great threat to me. If it weren't, you wouldn't feel at ease to let a fleet that threatens you stay at home, so I have an idea here, you can refer to it."
"Please say it."
"You are an old player, probably know that the territory established by players will have territorial affiliated legions, and Xiaoyezi just happened to have established the Divine Rabbit Guild here,"
Speaking of this, Fang Ning waved to the side. Xiaoyezi, who had been obediently staying beside the side during the war, had a big ears, glared at the big ears of the rabbit, grabbed the big ears of the rabbit, pointed at himself. He nodded, and she quickly stood up and trotted over and asked:
"Is there anything wrong with Brother Fang?"
"A little thing."
He touched her little head, looked up and said to Liu Xinwu:
"Didn't you come here just by orders to obey your lady's orders? Xiao Yezi just happened to have a part of my territory. I set up the Shentu Guild as a territory affiliated guild. You join the Shentu Guild, so that everyone is their own people, and I can also feel at ease to let you stay in the galaxy. How about it?"
He looked at the opposite side with a bright look, and he wanted to see what would be the choice between the opposite side.
He didn't care what their purpose was before, but wanted the other party to express their opinions and determine whether they were enemies or friends.
If he agrees to join the Shentu Guild, he doesn't mind giving them some preferential treatment, but if he doesn't agree, it's the enemy. Even if there is a large army of aliens, he has to clear out the internal uneasiness first.
Liu Xinwu certainly understood what Fang Ning meant, and he thought for a while and said:
"I need to contact the Legion Commander."
"No problem, you have an hour to contact."
After saying that, he closed the communication and the light curtain disappeared. Liu Xinwu, the staff officer and the assistant looked at each other and could see the other's bitter smile. He spread his hands and said:
"What else can I see? Contact the Legion Commander."
As he said that, he gradually became illusory and he went offline.
The commander on the left side of the fleet shrugged and leaned back. Liu Xinwu's assistant asked:
"What would you decide if the Legion Commander decide? To be honest, after the battle just now, I don't think our remaining fleet can beat them."
Chapter completed!
