Chapter 591 This is the responsibility of the interstellar frigate
Blue Crystal Starport
"Report, our combat resources remain at 30%, and the star battleship battle damage rate exceeds 50%. Only 10,000 star battleships are in good combat condition, and the rest of the star battleships are somewhat damaged."
"The Xiaolong Legion is still fighting fiercely with the Zerg fleet, according to our current observation.
The number of interstellar battleships damaged by the Xiaolong Legion has exceeded 300!
The number of Hive Motherships destroyed was 30,000, including a T4 Hive Mothership.
There are currently more than 60,000 hive motherships left!
So far, the Xiaolong Legion has not had any T4-class star battleships fall." His subordinates reported various combat situations to Commander Zhao Ruyue.
Zhao Ruyue stared at the battle situation on the interstellar sand table.
The battle between the Xiaolong Legion has lasted for more than five hours.
The Xiaolong Legion's defense formation has changed from one-way defense to four-sided defense.
Because the huge Zerg fleet has formed an encirclement structure against the Xiaolong Legion's defense formation.
However, if you carefully observe the battles over the past few hours, you will find that the Xiaolong Legion has been in a state of moving while fighting.
At an average speed of 100 knots, the star battleship formation circled the Blue Crystal Starport and had now traveled almost half a circle.
Zhao Ruyue quickly understood the meaning of this fighting style.
Mainly for several reasons.
First: It can avoid the excessive number of Zerg Motherships, Zerg corpses and the wreckage of star warships on the battlefield forming bunkers that threaten the attack of the Xiaolong Legion. This situation can naturally be avoided through mobile operations.
Second: During the movement, some interstellar warships on the periphery can be withdrawn into the formation if the hull condition is not good, and other friendly ships can take over their combat positions.
Third: Naturally, it is to prevent the Zerg fleet from forming an unbreakable encirclement.
Although the Xiaolong Legion seems to be surrounded at present, the intensity of the encirclement is actually uneven. Most of the Zerg Hive Fleets are in one direction, while the number of Zerg Fleets on the other side is sparse.
The reason for this is also that the Xiaolong Legion is constantly moving.
"But if we continue to fight like this, combat resources will be consumed to a certain extent, and no matter how strong the Xiaolong Legion is, it will suffer major battle losses.
There are too many insect swarms..." Zhao Ruyue said worriedly.
One hundred thousand hive motherships, this is an extremely huge number.
Although it is currently impossible to eliminate the Xiaolong Legion, as the firepower of the Xiaolong Legion's interstellar battleships continues to weaken, the balance of this battle will naturally tilt.
In addition, Zhao Ruyue also felt very uneasy.
Because she felt that the Zerg fleet in front of her was deliberately conducting this attrition-style battle, as if it was waiting for something.
This made Zhao Ruyue uneasy.
Time passed little by little.
Zhao Ruyue was very worried about the situation of Xiaolong Legion, but now she was a little too busy to take care of herself.
"Warning! Warning! Warning! A powerful energy wave has been detected in the distance!" Suddenly, the person in charge of the Starport Radar shouted in horror.
Due to the appearance of the Xiaolong Legion, the blockade of the Blue Crystal Starport has been weakened a lot, and the range of the starport radar detection has returned to normal levels.
This is far beyond the radar equipment carried by star battleships, and can detect farther ranges.
Zhao Ruyue immediately adjusted the picture window to her eyes. At the edge of the image scanned by the radar equipment in front of her, a huge light spot appeared, and at the same time, the light spot was moving at an alarming speed.
That direction is the Xiaolong Legion that is currently fighting a bitter battle with the Zerg fleet!
At the same time that she informed the news, the Xiaolong Legion also discovered something strange.
A huge green 'comet' was shot from a distance. On the attack route, some hive motherships and Zerg units that had no time to evade were even 'melted' by this 'comet'.
This green 'comet' is obviously coming towards the interstellar missile ship position in the middle of the Xiaolong Legion's formation.
The Paladin-class heavy-duty interstellar missile frigate No. 022, which was defending this area, immediately made an emergency response plan.
"This is the Paladin Ship No. 022. I am the captain Wu Chun'er. I am executing an emergency defense plan. Please cooperate with the surrounding warships!"
"Launch all interstellar missiles to intercept and consume enemy attacks on the way!"
The thirty T4 Paladin-class heavy interstellar missile frigates currently in service of the Xiaolong First Legion opened the Paladin Star Shield Matrix module at this time, and a huge light curtain enveloped the surroundings of the Xiaolong First Legion.
Originally, this defense mode would not be used when dealing with Zerg because it was not cost-effective.
But now the emergency situation is just what is needed.
Except for the Paladin 022 ship, all the surrounding interstellar frigates that could escape were trying their best to assist in the defense at this time.
Attacks from interstellar missiles and close-in defense guns all hit the incoming green 'comet'.
The explosion of these interstellar missiles can reduce the intensity of enemy attacks to a certain extent.
Bang!
Wu Chun'er felt the vibration of the ship below her body. Although the attack was still some distance away from the star battleship and only hit the star shield, the huge impact still affected the Paladin 022 ship she was on.
"Warning! The enemy's attack is extremely penetrating. Our star shield matrix may not be able to intercept it and is about to be penetrated!" the crew member responsible for observing the star shield matrix reported nervously.
Wu Chun'er looked at the simulated data graphics of the Star Shield Matrix and could see a small red dot on the circular sky. The energy of the Star Shield in that area was very unstable.
Exactly where the green 'comet' hit.
"After 60 seconds, the star shield energy in this area will be penetrated, and enemy attacks will hit our ship! But now we still have time to evade it!" the crew member said.
Wu Chun'er was silent for a moment, and then she gave the order: "Change the direction of the ship and attack towards the incoming attack!"
What?
When hearing this order, many crew members on the bridge were dumbfounded.
This means that they have to take the initiative to withstand this attack.
"Send my order to start the abandonment procedure! All crew members in non-essential positions will use escape hatches to abandon the ship immediately!" Wu Chun'er said.
"Captain..." The crew member was stunned.
The old crew member next to him held down the crew member and pointed at the attack route of the green 'comet' on the interstellar sand table.
"If we avoid it.
This attack will bypass us and directly attack the interstellar missile ship behind us!
Therefore, the captain must use our starship to resist the attack!" said the old crew member.
The crew member understood what this meant, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked at the old crew member.
Because veteran crew members are a necessary position and belong to those crew members who must stay on the star battleship until the last moment.
"Go to the escape cabin quickly. It's too late if you don't go." the old crew member urged.
The crew members endured their grief, performed a military salute at the backs of the old crew members and Wu Chun'er, and then entered the escape cabin.
"This is the duty of our interstellar frigate." Wu Chun'er held her head high and stared at the growing green 'comet' outside the distant porthole.
…
"Report, the Paladin 022 ship was destroyed, the captain died, and 20% of the crew members on the ship died. The remaining personnel abandoned the ship in time and escaped, and the interstellar medical ship is under rescue." Lilith Hui reported.
Zhao Chen remained silent, staring at a window, which was the farthest T3 Silver Rat-class light interstellar stealth reconnaissance ship, which captured the image of the attacker.
That's a huge scary creature!
Even the T4 Blue Eyes White Dragon class heavy interstellar armored battleship looks very small in front of it.
