The first ones to enter Gibraltar β were indeed not the empire's small and medium-sized warships.
When this menacing silver oval UFO roared out from the core of the silver vortex of the Star Gate, the defenders were really frightened. Even the experienced and knowledgeable foreigners
The veterans of the Ring Fleet couldn't help but express that they had never seen such an abstract thing.
"So, what the hell is this?"
"Cannonball?"
"What kind of track can bounce such a big cannonball? Can we lay a track as long as the Miracle Ring?"
"Or is it an oversized assault landing craft?"
"The reconnaissance team said this thing was towed over by a transport ship?"
"So those engines are off-the-shelf? Is this the Empire's style?"
"Yeah, it's too predatory, right?"
"There must be a conspiracy! Since it is the operation of the imperial devils, the conspiracy is certain!"
The above-mentioned conversations full of doubts and surprises were circulating in the communication channel. Marshal Bonaparte also felt that the situation was full of evil, but he still suppressed the surprise in his heart and gave the order to fire.
In an instant, the surging beam of destruction set off a stormy sea, instantly submerging the giant silver object still swaying in the starry sky into the violent torrent of energy.
However, in the strong light, the outline of the strange flying object was still stable, still moving forward, still expanding, and even becoming clearer and clearer.
Facing the storm caused by the shelling of the outer fleet, it never wavered in the slightest.
This aircraft, glowing with silver light and whose entire body seemed to be made of a giant lump of metal, withstood the intense fire from the arsenal ship and turrets and strutted through the star gate.
"What kind of monster is this?"
"Are all the Empire's assault landing craft monsters?"
"Idiot, do you still think this is some kind of assault landing craft?"
"Fire! Fire! Force it to stop!"
"It's still moving forward!"
The officers and soldiers of the Outer Rim Fleet felt that they were clearly using small-power, small-caliber security ray guns to chip away at the iceberg. However, if the iceberg could hit them at sub-light speed, the scene would immediately become terrifying.
stand up.
However, after all, it is the only group in the entire community that can be regarded as a "strong army". Even if a large number of veterans have been added to the Said side, there are still a lot of talents left. Soon, there will be a technical department, Ren
With the shock in his heart, he accurately analyzed the advance trajectory of this huge fortress and quickly reported it to Marshal Bonaparte.
"So, are you coming for the Fortress of Gibraltar?" Marshal Bonaparte asked.
"You can be sure! If this UFO keeps moving forward at its current speed, it will definitely hit this fortress in about 40 minutes. Moreover, with our current bombardment power, we cannot prevent it." Technology.
The staff brought up their own analysis chart, with a hint of fear in their voice, but overall they were calm and articulate.
"This thing may be solid." Another staff officer replied: "Based on the force field data of the churning when it passed through the star gate just now... this thing must be at least 1,000 megatons."
The staff officer's voice was filled with disbelief, but after all, this was the result of testing more than five times with various instruments, so he couldn't help but not believe it.
Since it is solid and is a super lump of iron exceeding a megaton, it is completely understandable that it cannot be broken for a while.
You know, before the war broke out, Gibraltar Fortress was the only space fortress in the entire community that could be regarded as the Sky Castle level. Even now, it has been expanded for several rounds, but no one thinks that our side
Shields and armor can withstand a collision of this magnitude.
As for the possibility of killing him with a fortress cannon if he got close enough, no one dared to gamble.
All the veterans said that they have traveled across the galaxy all their lives, but they have never seen such a large solid iron lump. What kind of material it is made of, how hard it is, and what its temperature resistance is, they cannot tell at all.
"Solid, that is to say, no cockpit found?" asked the chief of staff.
"We are searching, but judging from the trajectory, it looks more like autonomous driving." The observation department quickly responded.
Marshal Bonaparte pondered for a moment, and then he discovered a problem: "In other words, this thing should have been launched from behind the Star Gate. The Imperial Army had already determined the location of the fortress before passing through the Star Gate."
The chief of staff sighed: "Before the war broke out, there were scientific research stations from the Empire and the Alliance on both sides of the Star Gate. However, who can guarantee that they were only inspecting the Star Gate?"
This is a problem left over from history, and it is still a problem that the military cannot control. Even if Marshal Bonaparte really wanted to get angry, he didn't know where to start, so he just sighed silently.
"This reminds me of Lieutenant General Yang Xiyi's tactics in the Battle of Devil's Throat." The chief of staff added: "However, compared with the battle situation at that time, it is completely different."
The marshal nodded: "Check the power source of this thing immediately! If it is confirmed that there is an engine, we will prioritize the artillery attack!"
There are indeed many differences between the Battle of Nantianmen and the Battle of Devil's Throat.
In the battle that decided the fate of the Predator's "New World Empire", the Earthlings, under the cover of the coalition fleet, brought Leviathan's worm shell very close to the Demon's Throat Fortress, and then suddenly started the engine.
Those who launched the attack naturally caught the predators off guard.
In Gibraltar, the straight-line distance between the star gate and the fortress is nearly half an astronomical unit. As a result, the empire's "rush" is pulled a considerable distance away from its intended target.
This, of course, gave the defending community soldiers a chance to regain their composure and fight back.
Soon, the high-power turrets and arsenal ships arranged near the star gate also began to launch thunderous bombardments. The target began to branch out from the polished arc body on the front of the "rush car" along the middle section toward the rear and tail.
.
In fact, until this time, the community defenders had not had time to find the location of the opponent's engine, but as long as the rate of fire and impact point were balanced, they would definitely be able to hit it.
As a result, in just one minute, one of the engines that was the first to be hit by the twenty-gun gun finally developed very obvious cracks. The composite armor shell covering the engine quickly developed cracks, and then
It only took a second to tear into a shocking wound.
Immediately afterwards, before the second round of salvos came, behind the cracks in the shell, the out-of-control energy turned into a igniting explosion, spreading from behind the cracks, adding a bit of evil aura to the whole silver oval.
The red light of blood.
Therefore, when the first engine is completely extinguished, it will not be too far away from the collapse of the second to third engines.
The soldiers of the community did not notice that any of the opponent's engines was actually hit. However, this demonic but terrifying aircraft did stop moving forward.
It even lost its balance on the spot and spun around in circles.
But soon, it regained its balance again, shortened its trajectory, and headed straight for the turret group closest to it, gritting its teeth and charging straight through.
In fact, before the "Charge" was launched, the Imperial Army had indeed calculated the charging angle and trajectory, trying to crash the Gibraltar Fortress in one go. However, Marshal Farrell also knew that a quarter of a
In standard astronomical units, there are too many variables in a flight time of more than half an hour.
They have always been the most successful war race in the universe, and it is impossible for them to pin all the possibilities of victory on such an extreme combat strategy.
After losing three engines and two cockpits being destroyed by stray bullets, the other kamikazes also reacted and quickly manually extinguished several engines under gunfire, restoring calm to the whole place. They adjusted the angle
, found a new target - a group of high-power forts only 100,000 kilometers away from them at this time, and there was a row of arsenal ships beside them.
Seeing the giant ship that was as majestic and unshakable as a monster colliding towards him, a group of bulky arsenal ships and guard ships, as if they had seen the quail of natural enemies, fled in all directions, but their movements still seemed a bit clumsy.
However, the arsenal ship can be said to be clumsy, and it cannot even do this if the fort is left in place.
If the engine is damaged and cannot hit the Gibraltar Fortress, then just find the nearest valuable target, adjust the course, and hit it directly.
The above is what the Imperial Army calls Plan B.
Of course, even if Plan B fails, there is still the so-called Plan C.
Just as the "car crash" crashed into the turret, causing the Earth soldiers on the scene to panic, the majestic Imperial warship also poked its head out from behind the star gate vortex.
If Marshal Bonaparte's original plan was followed, at this time, he could launch thousands of artillery fire and hit the opponent head-on. Even the thick-skinned Imperial Titan ship would be destroyed by such an impact.
It is inevitable that there will be heavy losses.
His arrangements were also prepared to gather the battleships of the Fire Empire.
But again, he was only half right after all. When the first thing that appeared in Gibraltar was the "space rush car", his carefully arranged defense line had lost its greatest significance.
When the emblem of the Vulcan Airan was completely exposed on the monitor screen of the people on earth, it was already too late. This majestic Titan ship had already raised its head like a beast entering the hunting ground.
