The Neptune defense fleet was completely destroyed, and the Garmillas fleet on the Pluto space was not much better.
Because the battle between the Earth Fleet and the Garmillas Fleet was still a battle line-style naval gun exchange, after entering the battlefield, Discovery directly blocked the front of the Earth Fleet, and then threw Garmillas with broadside anti-aircraft fire.
The fleet launched its attack.
Discovery's attack could hardly be called violent. It even did not use the macro cannon and light spear as its main weapons, because it was too much for the cannon to fight mosquitoes.
You must know that the Discovery is a standard strike cruiser of the Empire. The ten-kilometer-long hull has only four macrocannons on the sides. The diameter of each cannon port is almost as large as that of a Garmillas battleship.
It is really unnecessary to use this thing to hit the hundreds of meters long warships of the Gamilas people. Even if they are directly hit with cannonballs, several of them can be sunk.
In fact, even anti-aircraft firepower would be a disaster for the Garmillas fleet.
These defensive weapons, originally used to attack warships of the same tonnage as the Discovery, are used to attack things that are not even transport ships in the Warhammer world. They can almost be described as one shot at a time.
Coupled with the huge size of the Discovery itself, it can be equipped with an outrageous firepower density. It can almost be said to be a replica of the Neptune Defense Fleet. After several rounds of attacks by the Discovery, almost all of the Garmillas fleet has been destroyed.
Sunk.
At this time, the remaining battleships of the Earth Fleet also stopped fighting. Everyone looked at the super giant ship in front of them with extremely shocked eyes, which almost blocked all their sight.
On the flagship Kirishima, even if he was as calm as Okita Juzo, looking at the macrogun barrel that was huge enough for the Kirishima to drive directly into, he could not convince himself that it was not a weapon, but a carrier of the battleship.
Machine launch port.
"This is really terrifying! How did they build such a big battleship! This is simply a moving city!" Okita Shisan's adjutant made an embarrassing sound, but no one was in the mood to blame him at this time.
There was no way, the battleship in front of them was too big, and the baroque-style decoration on it and the huge church at the rear of the battleship that occupied almost one-third of the entire ship also made everyone almost lose their ability to speak.
At this time, although the Earth was still in a fight with Garmillas, before Garmillas invaded, humans had already begun to colonize and transform Mars. The Earth fleet even fought a civil war. What about battleships?
In theory, the development is pretty good.
But even if there is no need to consider air resistance in space, and the shape of the battleship can be said to be an expression of freedom, the earth has never thought of such an outrageous idea as installing an engine in a church.
"Why did they build such a big church on the battleship? Does it have any meaning? Or is this a religious symbol?" The adjutant looked at the huge church on the Discovery and the golden spire decorated by the church, and said to Okita Shisan
I had my own doubts.
At this time, he instinctively wanted to gain confidence from the fleet commander Okita Juzo.
And this is the most important role of the fleet commander besides commanding the troops. It is also the most important role of the captain of a warship since the age of sail, which is to give confidence to the crew and subordinates.
As a captain, you can know nothing and know nothing, but you must never let your subordinates lose confidence.
You can teach your subordinates to do the tasks you don't know how to do. If you don't understand, you can ask your subordinates who understand. The only thing you must do is make your subordinates have enough confidence in you and believe that you can lead them to overcome all difficulties no matter what the situation is.
Once a captain loses the trust of his crew, the outcome is often disastrous.
In the age of sailing, such captains usually ended up being exiled by their subordinates. Those who were lucky would have a pistol loaded with a bullet, while those who were unlucky might have to experience the earliest high platform diving event in mankind - walking on the springboard.
Originally, Okita Juzo, as the fleet commander and an old captain, was quite trusted by his subordinates.
He remains calm and composed no matter what difficulties he encounters. He has always been trusted by the crew and subordinates. He is also the reason and source of morale for the entire First Fleet to follow him to death.
But at this moment, even after Okita Shisan felt the shock brought by Discovery at close range, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and his heart was filled with shock.
How was this built? How many people did it take to operate such a huge warship? Are they really human? Why do they want to help the earth?
Questions and doubts were rolling in Okita Shisan's mind, but he knew in his heart that he had to make a decision immediately at this time. The crew and subordinates were waiting for his order. Even a wrong decision was better than doing nothing.
The more everyone loses their bearings, the more they need someone to lead them, and the fleet commander is the one who does his job.
So Okita Shisan quickly calmed down, took off the military cap on his head and held it in his hand. It seemed that he was adjusting the hat, but just looking at his slightly trembling hands, you knew that he was taking advantage of this.
Conceal your nervousness.
There is no way, even a veteran like Okita Juzo with decades of military experience has never seen such a scene.
But his voice was as steady as ever, and he still issued the order calmly: "Send a communication request to the other party, thank them for their assistance to the Earth Fleet, and express our hope to talk and meet with them! Do everything possible to express our support
Be friendly! No one is allowed to fire without orders!"
Thinking of what happened when humans and Gamilas first came into contact, Okita Shisan could only stress as much as possible not to open fire.
After all, the battleship in front of us is so huge. Even Gamilas, which was invincible to humans just now, was almost wiped out in several rounds of attacks by the opponent. The Earth's fleet has no ability to withstand the opponent's offensive.
To put it harshly, even if the other party just turns the bow of the ship and collides with it, it can completely annihilate the remaining fleet of mankind.
Okita Juzo really didn't want an incident like a gunfire to happen. The earth really didn't have any capital or ability to face such a terrifying enemy after the invasion of Garmillas.
In particular, the other party seems to have good intentions towards human beings.
However, there was still no response to the communication sent out. The adjutant, who could not hold his breath, was sweating profusely and breathing rapidly due to nervousness.
At this time, Okita Shisan's hands holding his military cap also had veins popping out, but he still took a deep breath and shouted: "Show the light signal! Let them know our goodwill, and hit the church!"
