King Thoraine looked at the star map and saw that the shipboard AI had projected the predicted movement trajectory of the Earthling fleet onto the screen. Therefore, he could intuitively see clearly at a glance, if the two sides still maintained the current fleet movement
In this state, it is indeed easy to be cut to the side and attacked by the enemy's superior firepower.
At that time, even if our own side can turn to attack under the desperate cover of the guard ship, it will definitely suffer heavy losses.
What's more important is...
"The enemy fleet, the enemy fleet has always maintained a charging speed. Is it possible that it is preparing to join the gang?" The chief of staff's voice was not loud, but his words were very clear, perfectly conveying his current doubts. This is of course an experienced elite officer.
However, I was working with the same experienced generals, and it was my first time to serve as an assistant to the elected emperor. I was really worried that this young His Highness would really show a dragon-like moodiness.
Fortunately, the young emperor selected once again showed stability, composure, and courage far beyond his peers: "The entire fleet is wearing armor, and please bring my heraldic machine. We..."
As a professionally trained elected emperor, he naturally felt that only the strongest battleships should carry out the task of breaking off the rear. Then he should do it himself.
Anyway, there are more than 70,000 crew members on the Xiaolong, including three brigades of elite armored grenadiers, as well as new types of garrison robots. In addition, including himself and the navigator, there are also six psykers.
Even if someone jumps from his side, he can still fight and retreat until reinforcements arrive.
Speaking of which, the rest of the fleet is also moving closer to our own side after receiving the report. The nearest Sobek fleet is only less than half an hour away.
However, the chief of staff put forward a different opinion: "Your Highness, the Fuxi ship has been dispatched in person. I think that person should be on the ship."
"so what?"
"When the official just thought of the alien transformation plan, he personally went out and took advantage of the occult channel we set up to board the Natural Crest." The chief of staff's voice sounded quite heavy.
As a result, the Natural Crest became the first Titan ship captured by the Galactic Empire in two centuries. This was a great humiliation that had not been suffered during the Seventh Galactic War.
Of course, the second half of this sentence was not said in too much detail, but King Thoren himself certainly understood what the other party meant, and there was an obvious struggle flashing across his young and handsome but resolute face.
Although he always imagined that he could capture the "Dragon of Dawn" with his own hands and become the starting point of his achievements in this life, but he also knew that if that person really appeared in front of him with all his strength and tenacity, it would be difficult for him to have the courage to continue fighting.
Very doubtful.
Although that man is already the commander-in-chief of an army, he can really do things like jump into a gang and charge into battle to kill people. With his ability, once he boarded the Xiaolong, with 70,000 crew members, three
How long would it take for the brigade's Panzergrenadiers, six psykers including himself, to reach him?
Is half an hour really enough? But even if reinforcements do arrive, can they stop him? How long did the Natural Heraldry last?
The young emperor-elect suddenly realized that he had made a huge mistake. Ever since Duke Xia Ming returned to China to "debrief his duties," he had been on the frontline battlefield and found that his side actually lacked a high-end psychic combat force that could compete with the opponent.
...The majestic Holy Galactic Empire is actually at an absolute disadvantage in the field of high-end psykers. Who would believe this?
King Solane misses his cousin Duke Xia Ming very much now. Although there was a little discord between the two because of the fight for the throne, if the duchess can arrive early, he will definitely be willing to treat her as his own aunt.
Come and serve.
No matter what, King Thoraine cannot tolerate the Xiaolong falling into the hands of the opponent. Any serious commander will feel a huge sense of humiliation if his flagship is taken away from him.
"So, we..." There was a pause on King Solain's face again. The following lines did put great pressure on him. However, after struggling for a few seconds, he still ordered: "Command Nightmare"
The Shan-class guard ship formation stayed behind. The rest of the fleet formations were all disbanded. All warships followed the orders of their respective captains and retreated to a safe range. This ship immediately turned 180 degrees and moved towards Fortress Zero."
The chief of staff was quite impressed. He had already prepared himself to be the bad guy. After all, taking the blame for the Dragon King was an opportunity that no one else could ask for. But now, King Thoraine
However, he still gave the order to disband the formation and retreat, which meant that all arsenal ships and guard ships would become the prey of the opponent's main force.
As a result, tens of thousands of sailors were placed on the altar. And every one of them, every family, would have a reason to hate King Solane in the future.
However, the young Emperor Chosen still did so.
The huge Xiaolong opened its shield to the extreme, and faced the continuous bombardment of the Earth Fleet, it made a 180-degree U-turn on the spot. This maneuver actually violated military taboos.
During the process, the battleship was almost defenseless when being bombarded by the enemy.
Now, King Thoraine relies on his Titan ship's rough skin, thick flesh, and strong shields to be able to perform such atypical tactical maneuvers.
Fortunately, in this real world, what produces the greatest consequences are not actions that theoretically should not be carried out, but indecisive behaviors. The Imperial Army officers and soldiers on the Xiaolong should be grateful.
The person who made their decision was a very decisive young man.
As a result, the youngest Titan ship in the empire was hit by three spear cannons, two ion cannons, and a rail gun, as well as at least ten missiles (one of which carried an anti-matter warhead).
After clearing it, it still completed the turn calmly and started to accelerate.
Her whole body started to catch fire, and she looked very embarrassed, but the ship showed no sign of wavering, and still calmly completed the smooth acceleration, and immediately and decisively opened the distance between herself and the pursuers.
At that moment, Xiaolong was like a general who was awarded armor. Although he was stabbed by arrows like a hedgehog, he still firmly rode on his horse and bravely marched toward the end of the sky in the setting sun... Well,
Retreat bravely.
We don't care whether she is moving forward or backward, just say whether her upright and firm posture is stable or not.
This scene, of course, all fell in the eyes of Yu Lian on the bridge of the Fuxi. Now he just felt that his opponent was indeed a decent person who made prompt decisions. This performance of coming and going when he was called was magnificent.
Absolutely, even the gesture of escaping revealed a certain degree of majesty.
"I heard that the king of Thoren, Yount, on the Xiaolong has just turned twenty," Feifei said.
It is true that young people in their twenties are the easiest to get enthusiastic, but this one behaved too steadily. Similarly, it is also different from the setting of the Chenxi Royal Family that went crazy.
Chief of Staff Mkawa said: "Could it be that other experienced imperial officers made the decision for him?"
"The twenty-year-old Dragon King is also a Dragon King. I have never seen a Dragon King who would let his subordinates make decisions for him." Yu Lian thought of Grand Duke Yount who became a model of border development lord in his previous life, but he was not too surprised: "
The Dragon of Dawn has always been full of heroes throughout the ages, but there is something seriously wrong with the family's genes."
Serious, serious illness? Shouldn't it be a sacred bloodline blessed by the spirit of the universe? Chief of Staff Mkawa once again expressed his astonishing admiration for his parents' treason, and asked sideways: "Then, are you ready to pursue?"
"Forget it. The Xiaolong class is equipped with eight particle reactor superchargers. Its performance in running a marathon at sub-light speed may not be as good as the neutrino engine on our Lord God class, but the explosive power generated in an instant is still better.
After all, they have successfully accelerated and it is almost impossible for us to intercept them."
"As for the enemy's Fortress No. 0, the Thor has also begun to take action." Feifei added.
In other words, if we continue to pursue Xiaolong, it is very likely that the enemy ship will not be blocked and will run into the imperial army group coming to help.
Yu Lian gave up the plan of chasing the enemy with difficulty but decisively, and then ordered the fleet to turn its direction again and attack with all its strength those guard ships that had begun to leave behind.
To be honest, with the protective power of the several guard ships in Nightmare Mountain, really deploying the domain deflection shield is like pulling out a wall of sighs in the universe. Even with the destructive power of the Lord God and Yinglong, trying to destroy it
It will take some time to completely destroy it. But the problem is that the thunder strike ship has already started charging in advance, and it can completely break the shield physically and disrupt the formation. All the battleships that follow later need to do is naturally
Hunting time.
But even so, the Nightmare Mountains spread out their queues in a resolute manner, and instead charged in the direction of the Fuxi.
They were like infantrymen launching a countercharge against the charging cavalry, tragic and decisive, but it seemed to have no effect.
Then, the New Gris guard ship was smashed on the spot by the anti-matter torpedo of the lightning strike ship. Since it was struck by lightning at close range, her proud four-layer armor and deflection shield did not even have time to react.
The newly rebuilt Rogue Squadron's lightning strike ships began to massacre in a swaggering manner. Before the bombardment of the battleships arrived, they had already disrupted the formation of guard ships that were ten thousand times their own mass.
Therefore, after the Imperial Guard ships paid a heavy price for six ships being sunk within five minutes, a certain Imperial Army Commodore in charge of the formation concluded that the subsequent mission could no longer be accomplished, and after issuing an order to disband the entire fleet, he swallowed the gun
suicide.
Before that, the Praise Arsenal ships were already retreating.
"Let the captains attack freely. Those Praise-class ships will be counted as dead if they can kill them." Yu Lian ordered.
To be honest, although military theorists from various countries believe that arsenal ships and guard ships are to be eliminated, Yu Lian, as the instigator, has certain doubts. After all, in his previous life, these two ships were
This type of warship is still very active on certain battlefields.
For example, the Tribute-class arsenal ship that played a major role in the Condemnation War, to put it bluntly, is a super-large cannon with an engine. In a sense, it can be regarded as a miniature version of the Colossus, which can be used when attacking fortresses.
The threat should still be great.
Putting it this way, Xiaolong's design seems to be a bit like a giant gun with an engine. However, while ensuring firepower, it also ensures secondary guns, protection and speed. This is not so much a victory of the design, but rather of the overall design.
The victory of engineering and technical reserves.
So, why does the Galactic Empire always like to engage in such extreme shooting?
"The Yeager Soback fleet is coming, it's only half an hour away from us." Chief of Staff Mkawa said.
"Will he arrive as scheduled?" Yu Lian asked.
"this……"
"Hahaha, I mean, half an hour is enough. Our formation remains intact, so we don't have to worry about one or two returning squadrons."
Now that Yu Lian has made a decision, everyone just has to work hard to implement it. As for the subsequent development, it is a real nightmare for the fleet of the Galactic Empire.
The soldiers of the Community poured their full fighting will and determination for revenge into artillery shells, missiles and beams, and vented their attacks on the lost formations and the Imperial fleet.
The high-temperature energy and shock waves intertwined into a giant web of death, turning the imperial warships in a dilemma like flying insects caught in a tight web. They flapped their engine wings in vain, but the scorching giant web continued to shrink and tear
Give them all the space they can move around.
The explosion ignited the ship hull that was torn apart by the shock wave, flickering in the gaps between the giant nets, adding a rather dreamy embellishment to the death.
The arsenal ships that were being hunted once again sent out a wide-area distress signal to the surrounding area. Of course, this was not because the imperial officers and soldiers on these arsenal ships were frightened, but they were just following the prescribed combat procedures.
This is part of the well-honed tactical maneuvers of the Imperial Space Fleet.
Of course, Yeager Sobak, who was on the Royal Rabbit, could also see this scene. In the distance, the horrific scene of his comrades being buried in a sea of fire and reduced to nothing, the projection on the screen became increasingly clear.
.
Of course, he also received the distress signal from his own warship. Through those noisy electromagnetic sounds, Soback even felt that he heard the screams and wails of his comrades.
However, what can he do? He is also in despair now! Leaving aside the soy sauce auxiliary, he only has a battle cruiser and an aircraft carrier that can be regarded as battleships. How can he be those Yinglong
opponent, let alone the main god.
...No, even those menacing lightning strike ships are enough to defeat me, right?
"So, what are you doing? Your Highness King Suo! It's just that you fell into the trap. Why am I the one closest to you?" However, even such a rebellious slander is of little help to reality. As the commander of the fleet,
Soback, a decision must be made.
However, even if you are really a fierce general, it is indeed very difficult to make similar decisions. You know, even the most upright Miss Serlu would definitely say in the past, "We cannot just watch our comrades die!"
The viscountess who said this also fell into silence now.
Even if you think about it on your knees, you know that even if the Soback fleet were to attack, they wouldn't be able to hold on for ten more minutes.
The smartest approach is, of course, to wait until all the scattered squadrons nearby have arrived and reunited with our own side before considering the next move.
However, he had to obey the orders of His Highness the Emperor.
Just when Soback was thinking that even if he was disobeying orders, he had to save his life first and prepare to escape, the order from the Shikisami came.
"Sobek Fleet, stay still."
This was an order personally issued by Marshal Ikenluojia. Sobek didn't think about anything now. He only thought about building a shrine for the Marshal and his old man in the future.
He had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to make arrangements for the so-called alert matters when he heard the latest news reported by Captain Peggese.
"There is a strong mass reaction in the direction of gravity well No. 1, in the domestic direction...it is a Titan ship!"
"The fourth Titan ship? Has it arrived on the battlefield?"
