Deep in the void, Qianye and Song Zining stood on the deck of the battle patrol, looking at the battle situation in the distance. This huge beast was quietly hiding in the darkness of the void, waiting for the moment to attack.
It is difficult to send out scouts in the void. Most of the so-called reconnaissance machines use the principles of force feedback and space transmission to receive one-way information within a certain range, or actively scan continuously to remove interference from the received information, and then analyze and restore it.
However, the void environment is complex, and the accuracy of this kind of reconnaissance results has always been an extremely jumping number. Therefore, only the vision distance of the strong is the most reliable.
The position Qianye designated to stay was the maximum distance of his extraordinary vision. Supplemented by the real field of vision, he could have a panoramic view of the situation on the battlefield ahead, and would basically not be disturbed by the void fluctuations caused by the impact of the Force.
Song Zining did not have such a long sight distance, but when he looked into the distance, he held a faint halo of light on his right palm. If he looked carefully, he saw that the continuously rolling light actually formed an image of an air battle.
Qianye was a little curious, "It doesn't look like the magic of heaven. Could it be that the prosperity of the world can still reflect reality?"
Song Zining said inexplicably and profoundly: "The world is prosperous, the world is prosperous, and what is manifested is of course reality."
Just as Qianye was about to say something, his expression suddenly condensed and he moved slightly. He saw the battleship fighting in the center of the Evernight Fleet. The flagships of the Imperial Fleet all have special markings, the huge and clear blue-gold sky on the hull.
The snake symbol means that this battleship belongs to the Guards Fleet and is the flagship of the entire fleet.
Qianye suddenly said: "Tell me, will the Right Prime Minister be on that battleship?"
"Yes." Song Zining answered without hesitation.
"What is he doing? Is he going to die?"
"If his flagship is not shot down, then this is the fastest way to defeat the Evernight Fleet at the minimum cost. However, the price is also high. Even if he wins the entire battle, he will probably die in battle."
"This doesn't seem to be like his behavior. Aren't all of these high-ranking officials afraid of death?" Qianye asked.
songs
It is the last item on the list. So once they think clearly and feel that death is the price that must be paid, they will not be afraid of death, let alone death in battle."
Qianye tasted it carefully and felt that it made sense. However, it was inconsistent with the rumors he had heard, and he always felt a little awkward.
Song Zining knew what he was thinking, and added: "Perhaps there are many people in the court who have been in high positions for a long time and have forgotten their original intention of striving for progress, but that is definitely not the right minister. As far as I know, this person is extremely self-disciplined and his daily life is unusually simple.
, almost all
It’s so shabby. Even if there is some ostentation and enjoyment, it is just to maintain the dignity of the right prime minister. Such a person must seek something great, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal. So no matter who is said to be afraid of death, it is not
he!"
After Qianye heard this, he only commented in one word: "Madman."
"He is a madman, in a sense. But if we measure it by the same standards, how can we not be madmen?" Song Zining said.
Qianye pointed to the battlefield ahead and said, "What should we do now? Will the whole army attack? Should we use the Hall of Heroes?"
Song Zining shook his head, "The Hall of Heroes is your last trump card, don't use it unless absolutely necessary..."
Before he finished speaking, a scorching fireball suddenly lit up in the void ahead. It could be seen at this distance without any auxiliary equipment. It was an imperial frigate on the edge of the battlefield that was hit. The opponent's main gun was too powerful.
It was so big that the entire battleship exploded directly, even the burning process was avoided.
After a while, the huge ship under Qianye and Song Zining's feet shook slightly. It was the force storm generated by the explosion. They were so far apart, and the most advanced stable flight system of a ship as big as a battle cruiser was affected by the impact.
There was a shaking sensation, which showed how violent the explosion was. Needless to say, no one on the ship could escape.
Immediately afterwards, two more fireballs appeared, and two Imperial frigates were destroyed again.
The charge of the imperial fleet was so fierce that it disrupted its opponents and its own position, so that some small, fast and flexible frigates accelerated too much and rushed to the front of the battle formation. Although three battleships exploded,
However, the momentum of the imperial fleet continued to rise, and the impact became more violent. All the crewmen had red eyes and desperately poured artillery fire on the enemy.
"Attack!" Qianye gave the order.
Song Zining was taken aback and said, "Now is not the time!"
"Then when is the right time?" Qianye raised his voice in a rare voice.
"Yongye's side may have backup to ambush, at least we have to make sure they have no other backup before we can attack." Song Zining frowned involuntarily, "And we don't know the right prime minister's plans yet. If he is really on the flagship...
"
"Actually, we just wait until the Empire and Yongye consume each other to a certain extent before we appear again, right?" Qianye revealed Song Zining's original intention.
Song Zining did not deny it and said in a deep voice: "Qianye, war is not a battle, it is just like this. If we don't try our best to strive for the most favorable environment, we will lose."
"Attack!" Qianye repeated the order, and the voice was heard very clearly into the command room behind him. The captain of Dark Fire did not dare to disobey, and immediately began to make arrangements, ordering the warship to speed up and approach the battlefield.
Song Zining let out a sigh of relief and made no further attempts to stop him.
The battle became more intense. Battleships from both sides began to explode continuously, and burning battleships were everywhere. During the melee, the Prime Minister's flagship miraculously held up, and broke through the Evernight Front to join the Imperial fleet.
At this moment, its hull is covered with fire, and the crew members who are not afraid of death can be seen running on the outer wall wearing simple protection, trying to put out the fire in some vital parts. The flagship has no intention of withdrawing from the battle, and is still firing continuously.
From the bridge, red and blue lights flashed alternately. It was a universal lighting command for the Imperial fleet: Fight to the end!
Behind the Yongye Fleet, a huge, elegant and swift battleship quietly appeared, quickly occupying a favorable position. Those left behind were either small boats or particularly important large ships. When they discovered that an Imperial battle cruiser suddenly appeared behind them
, they were all in a panic, trying to turn around in a hurry.
Qianye and Song Zining have already stepped onto the bridge, and everyone below is busy, sending out instructions one after another, and receiving information from everywhere.
Qianye whispered: "I'm sorry, I really can't watch the soldiers die in battle like this. The right minister is one thing, but these soldiers who are the cornerstone of the army are another."
Before he finished speaking, the entire battleship shook violently, and a ball of fire was thrown towards the Yongye Fleet in the distance, hitting a destroyer and blowing off half of its tail.
Song Zining just remained silent.
After the main gun roared, the entire battle cruiser began to turn, aiming its broadside at the Yongye Fleet. This time, more than ten small streams of fire flew out. The battle cruiser continued to rotate, then the main gun at the stern, and then the auxiliary gun on the other side.
gun.
The entire battleship continued to rotate and change its position, while the firepower continued continuously. This was a tactic that only this cutting-edge battlecruiser could use. Other battleships were not stable enough. They moved and fired, and their accuracy was already wrong.
In one round of bombardment, the battle patrol directly killed a destroyer, disrupting the formation of Yongye's rear team, and many shells fell on a Grand Duke-class ship. However, the defense of that ship was extremely strong, and it was hit by
After firing several rounds of ballistae, there were only two or three small flames, which were almost extinguished.
The Dark Race Archduke-class battleship is larger than the Imperial battleship and is comparable to a war mother ship. It is nearly twice as big as the battle cruiser Qianye is on. If the two confront each other head-on, the battle cruiser will have no choice but to escape.
prey.
Of course, Captain Darkfire will not attack the battle position where the Archduke-class battleship is located. After releasing its full firepower, the battle cruiser will use its agility to draw a graceful arc before accelerating away from the tangent line.
Unexpectedly, the scattered Yongye Fleet on the opposite side not only did not close up, but spread even further, leaving a large space. The Dark Archduke battleship in front was seen slowly turning around.
Song Zining's face changed slightly, he jumped down from the working area, pushed away the captain, and personally maneuvered the ship, while continuously issuing a series of orders. The speed of the battle cruiser suddenly accelerated, and it circled the rear of the Grand Duke's ship with unparalleled flexibility, firing gunfire
The hit rate has skyrocketed.
However, the firepower of the battle patrol still seemed weak in front of the Grand Duke's ship. The bombardment from the secondary guns was neither painful nor itchy. Only the main guns could blast out wounds, but it was not to the extent of breaking muscles and bones. If there is a fight, we still don't know.
How long will it take to sink this Grand Duke's ship? However, as long as it is hit by the opponent's main gun, the battle cruiser will be seriously injured.
War patrols are mainly hunting, emphasizing both attack power and speed, and are not good at frontal combat. Song Zining was forced to do this. Yong Yefang did not seem to underestimate their small fleet of sneak attacks, which was just a war patrol.
Several frigates were patrolling, but the opponent actually did not organize some warships to counterattack first to test their firepower, but directly let the Archduke-class battleships press forward.
However, Dark Fire withstood the pressure, and the situation of the Empire on the battlefield began to reverse. One Grand Duke-class ship of the Eternal Night Fleet was entangled, and the other was engaged in a fierce battle with two Imperial battleships. The Eternal Night Fleet suddenly became at a disadvantage.
, battleships continued to be destroyed.
However, under Yong Ye's desperate counterattack, the imperial fleet also suffered heavy losses for a while.
Qianye suddenly left the bridge and flew into the void. Everyone was shocked. Rushing into the void at this time was like seeking death. However, Qianye moved extremely fast, and the two flickers flickered, and no one was visible.
Song Zining was about to speak but stopped, and finally did not make a sound.
The battle was still fierce, and battleships were on fire every minute. Although Yongye's side was showing signs of decline, they still fought to the death. The two Grand Duke's ships were even more ferocious, rushing across the battlefield, almost invincible.
Song Zining tried his best, but still couldn't hold back the Grand Duke's ship in front of him. After it entered the main battlefield, it destroyed three imperial warships with only the secondary battery on the other side.
The battle patrol shuttled through the sky full of artillery fire, and had to avoid the main guns of the Grand Duke's ship. At the same time, it also had to dodge the artillery fire of other enemies, as well as stray bullets everywhere. Even though Song Zining had cultivated himself to be prosperous in the world, he was careful and thought like lightning, and he could cope with it.
Even though they tried their best, they could only barely maintain it, but they had no power to turn the tide of the war.
Seeing that there was still a heavy price to pay to destroy the two Grand Duke ships, and based on Song Zining's understanding of the Eternal Night Council, if a big shot of this level refused to retreat, it meant that they probably had something to rely on, and reinforcements from the dark race might appear at any time.
The so-called main fleet of the empire is still at the rear, and its strength is far inferior to the forward fleet led by the right minister.
The Prime Minister's flagship was now billowing with thick smoke, almost covering the entire hull. Although the open flames had been extinguished, the damage was shocking. There were six or seven large holes several meters in diameter on the hull. This warship has not exploded so far.
It can be said to be a medium-sized miracle. However, it can be seen that its power has been damaged, the main gun has been blown away, and the secondary gun cannot be used much. It has lost its combat effectiveness and can only retreat slowly at a slow speed.
At this point, no one can say anything wrong about the right prime minister.
At this moment, a little light suddenly lit up in the far distance of the void. It was only equivalent to a weak star at first, but in the blink of an eye, its brightness increased a lot, and it flickered regularly. That extremely penetrating bright yellow
and lavender, which are the special communication lights of the Evernight Fleet.
The reinforcements of the dark race have arrived!
On the battleships where the empire was still fighting, almost all the captains roared unwillingly, punched the command platform, or kicked the seats next to them away.
Falling short of success is what everyone thinks.
As long as half an hour more, no, even twenty minutes, two Grand Duke ships can be destroyed or at least severely damaged. Yong Ye, the combined fleet that combines the two Grand Duke class fleets and has been strengthened, is equivalent to being wiped out.
.
The great situation was actually hard-won. If the Right Prime Minister hadn't taken the lead, launched a desperate attack, and disrupted the deployment of the Yongye Fleet, the Imperial Fleet would not have gained the absolute upper hand so easily. But now, with the arrival of the Yongye reinforcements
, the war situation that the Right Prime Minister risked his life will be in vain.
The light in the distance became clearer at this moment, and the other party did not hide its whereabouts, clearly showing that it was the combined fleet formed by the merger of the three Grand Duke fleets, and its strength was still higher than that of the Evernight Fleet in the fierce battle.
However, the empire's so-called main fleet is only equivalent to half of the Evernight reinforcements. Even if they can arrive on the battlefield in time, they will not be able to save the situation.
The Imperial fleet had no choice but to spit out the big fish in its throat and retreat from the battlefield.
Lin Shuai's plan did not go smoothly from the beginning.
