Not everyone agreed with Warlord Sazaka's approach to dividing the main fleet. For example, the human technical advisors he hired with a large sum of money raised objections.
"Isn't our goal to do our best to destroy the main force of the Earthlings' New World Fleet and all the military facilities in the new Lushun Military Port? This is what you said. When we divide our forces at this time, will there be a possibility of losing the big for the small?"
The troll sergeants on the bridge of the Blood War did not dare to breathe, and were in awe of the only human on the ship.
You know, although Warlord Sazaka claims to be a very rare intellectual among the Myhandar warlords, he always looks gentle and elegant on the surface. In order to achieve such a persona, he even got a pair of special glasses.
In front of the Great Khan of the Ero people, he even put on a "wise general" look. But in fact, he is still a typical troll at heart, or in other words, his methods are more cruel and cruel than ordinary trolls.
The various military leaders under his command have tighter control.
This is actually quite understandable. A boss who has a violent temper and is often violent just looks scary, but as long as you understand the temperament of such a person, he is actually very easy to get along with, and even the socially awkward person can find a way to get through.
Lots of benefits.
Often it is the boss who smiles gently while hacking you to death in an understatement, who is the most terrifying.
As a result, almost no one on the Bloody Valor dared to raise objections to Sazaka's decision. The only exception was this human being who had only been on the ship for more than a month.
Probably because they are all "intellectuals". Sazaka was still very polite to this technical expert: "Dr. Warren, I didn't know you had any research on military science."
"I have also served in the alliance army. Moreover, any serious man with a higher education has the heart of a marshal." The human technical advisor said seriously: "General, I am sent by the Great Khan to assist you.
I want to be worthy of both her and your consulting fees."
The troll general nodded and said: "I understand what you mean. Are you worried that after we divide our forces, we will not be able to defeat the enemy fleet in front?"
Dr. Warren said: "Didn't we already see the combat effectiveness of the Earthling fleet yesterday? This is not an easy opponent to deal with. Even if we have drones and that giant beast to help us fight, it's hard to say. And, to be honest, these
The relics left by the enlightened ones are not very obedient."
In front of Dr. Warren is a data terminal console, which looks very much like the Alliance's latest model. However, a long strip of unknown material is inserted into one of the sockets of the console, and there are about two pieces of it.
It is one finger wide and one finger long, and the whole body is silvery white, but there is also a hint of red light.
That thing looks a lot like a USB flash drive, but the complicated patterns on it are extremely elegant and beautiful. Generally speaking, even if the empire likes to do flowery things, it is almost impossible to make flower carvings on a USB flash drive.
On the projection screen of the data terminal, icons of fifteen spherical drones appeared side by side, as well as a variety of constantly changing data and characters.
Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that Dr. Warren is using this strange "USB flash drive" to control the sight of those mining drones.
Sazaka lowered his voice and said: "I understand. But in fact, you also know that our real tactical goal is to eliminate all the mobile forces of the earth before the galactic native support army arrives in the New World... and then, go Take that from Xinyumen. Only by destroying all the mobility of the people on earth will we have a greater chance of success. However, if we let go of the ship, it will be completely impossible to achieve the effect we want."
"Oh?" Dr. Warren said he still didn't quite understand.
"I know that ship very well. It is the flagship that Brother Huitan spent a lot of money to renovate. Although it looks ugly, it has strong survivability and maneuverability. If we can't keep that ship, let her Escaped. It will definitely become a huge hidden danger. As long as the ship is still alive, there is no way to annihilate the mobility of the people on earth here." Sazaka also pushed up his huge special glasses and spoke calmly. There was a hint of ruthlessness in it: "Now, she is obviously preparing to contain the star-devouring insect. This is our chance to encircle and annihilate her."
Dr. Warren felt that what the other party said was quite reasonable, but he added: ...But, don’t you really want to seize that ship for your own use?”
Warlord Sazaka did not answer directly, but just said: "Furthermore, if the Earthlings fight like this, I don't know if there are any tactics that can deal with the Star Eater. As long as this big guy still exists, even if the Earthlings' native fleet is now Arriving there will also take up most of their energy and buy time for the Khan. There is no room for loss."
Having said this, the troll general couldn't help but touch a crystal that looked like an insect chrysalis hanging on his chest with a pendant.
"Don't worry, even if we divide our forces, with these drones, our combat advantage cannot be shaken."
It certainly makes sense for the Troll General to have such confidence in these drones. In fact, when the last galaxy was attacked by the Earth's high-speed fleet, it was the peripheral defense network formed by the drones that detected it in advance. On the other side, we only lost two warships that were exploring the way at the outpost.
As for the two lost warships, they were both old and decrepit and had been in service for almost a century. They relied on various repairs to survive. Most of the crew members on board were slaves used as cannon fodder.
In short, although it hurts to die, it is limited. As long as these drones exist and the Leviathan beast is given as much space as possible to run wild, our victory will not be shaken.
So, at 7:34, after the triangular drone broke through the array of drone turrets on the second floor, it encountered a head-on attack from the Eleanor fleet. These ancient civilian machines of the last civilized generation , it is clear that the continuous artillery fire and dense missiles coming towards the face are regarded as the harsh environment of some mining operations. Even if friendly aircraft are constantly being shot down around them, they are still very energetic.
At 7:45, they finally brought the opposing Earth fleet within range and began to fight back with long-range wave cannons.
Eleanor on the Aurora felt as if she was in an earthquake for the first time, and even felt a little dizzy for a moment. She knew that this was the shield reaction caused by the wave cannon. But even if the shield blocked the opponent's
The energy spreads, but the kinetic energy generated by the attack still breaks through the shield and acts directly on the ship body.
If she hadn't already had a taste of this weapon when she carried out the "elastic defense" policy before, I'm afraid the average member on the bridge would have fallen.
Now, everyone is sitting in their chairs and fastening their safety measures. Even Eleanor, who always likes to walk around on the bridge, is no exception.
"Is this thing really used for mining?" Eleanor bared her teeth.
She also saw that the main guns of her own ship and surrounding friendly ships began a new round of salvo fire. Among them, the ion main gun of the Corsica beside her clearly hit a drone head-on.
This thing is actually only the size of an assault ship or an assault landing craft. A small boat of this size, even the latest model produced by the Empire and the Alliance, will definitely die if it is hit by the main gun of a light cruiser.
But the triangular drone opposite, even though half of the triangle facing the front was melted away, and it was still on fire, it continued to move forward, and even rushed very close and started cutting with a mining laser.
own hull.
It wasn't until the nearby close-in defense artillery fired a burst of fire, using nearly twice as much firepower as normal, that the thing was finally torn to pieces.
"It's so tough! Is this really a civilian aircraft?"
"You cannot use common sense to estimate the legacy of the Enlightened One," said Commander Remius, the captain of the Aurora. He was supposed to be the first mate, but Captain Kong Qingyu had been transferred to the Scarlet Throne, so he directly
Become acting captain of the flagship.
"It's because it's the legacy of the Enlightened One." Eleanor murmured: "If it were Yuri, he would definitely want to take these things apart and take a look, right?"
Captain Remius had no choice but to pretend he didn't hear anything.
Of course, because Eleanor had already fought against the opponent in the previous outpost battle, she was well prepared for its defense and had a more complete fleet formation from the beginning.
At this moment, the fleet's artillery fire was set up in a very organized manner, and the firepower network formed was dense and layered. Although the drones on the opposite side were so powerful that it was beyond common sense, after all, their size limited their armor and firepower, so it was difficult to cause damage in a short period of time.
threaten.
However, this was only temporary. At this time, the raider fleet led by the Bloody Brave finally caught up.
The leading Spitfire also joined the artillery battle. However, the space between the two fleets was already filled with drones from the Predator side, which quite affected their bombardment efficiency.
"Let the fighter jets out first, the landing craft..."
"You can let the stormtroopers wait first." Dr. Warren suggested: "We can let our fighter planes cooperate with drones to tear apart the opponent's defense line, and then let the stormtroopers attack."
He thought for a moment and then said: "In addition, after the fighter planes leave the cabin, at least two-thirds of them must be on standby near the fleet. We must prevent people on earth from circling the aircraft carrier fleet."
The troll general agreed with the other party's opinion. In fact, in addition to being his technical advisor, Dr. Warren also played the role of chief of staff during this period.
However, before the Marauder fighter jets swarmed out, the Aurora had already received orders from the new Lushun headquarters.
"Sir, your Excellency the Commander called and asked us to continue retreating until we reach the Earth-Moon orbit of New Lushun," the adjutant said.
To be fair, Eleanor did not want to do this. Because this means that her side has fallen into a disadvantage in the fleet battle, and must rely on the fire support of the star port and the surface to carry out defensive counterattacks. More importantly, such a
Come on, the surface of New Lushun is actually in danger of being orbitally bombarded by predators.
Although all citizens have been evacuated into shelters, the built city will definitely suffer disaster. The next time we want to recover, we don’t know when it will take.
However, she issued the order to the entire ship without any hesitation. As a result, all the warships used small auxiliary thrusters installed on the sides and front of the ship to push the hull back slowly, while continuing to maintain the main position directly ahead.
Artillery bombardment.
Needless to say, Eleanor's Aurora is still the last ship.
In this era where everyone is addicted to the evil way of fighting the enemy with the bow of the ship, such fleet movements are very dangerous, and the formation can easily be disrupted by the opponent's accelerated charge. And we all know that the Predator is not good at stretching the formation to carry out long-distance operations.
In distance artillery battles, he is good at disruptive battles after assault.
Once the rhythm of chaos is entered, it will be the home field of the Marauder Stormtroopers who have become conditioned reflexes.
However, the timing of Yang Xiyi's order was very precise and decisive.
Because at this moment, the aircraft carrier strike fleet arrived at the 4 o'clock position of the Predator fleet and had already released all its fighter planes.
It is actually a very difficult operation for an aircraft carrier to launch fighter jets while cruising at sublight speed. It places extremely high demands on the crew and pilots.
Fortunately, the backbone pilots of the Thirteenth Fleet are all elites directly pulled from the most elite outer ring fleet of the community. In addition, as the real fleet commander, Mr. Marklov has always thought that he is just an overly lucky pilot.
Although he is a veteran officer of the Outer Rim Fleet after all, he has inherited the glorious tradition of Marshal Paris, "Moon, Moon, Fire, Water, Wood, Metal," and his training work has never been relaxed.
In other words, because the Thirteenth Fleet has always been the size of a local patrol fleet and its personnel composition is relatively simple, it is possible to carry out relatively strict training orders.
In addition, the New World branch of a certain zao nian (fan) club probably also made a small and insignificant contribution.
...Although the chairman of a "club" who is not doing his job has not held a branch representative meeting since he arrived in the New World, the subjective initiative of his friends is indeed quite strong.
All in all, the two large armored aircraft carriers and three light carriers, while continuing to maintain high-speed endurance, launched 90% of the fighters in the hangar in just twenty minutes.
Fortunately, most of the Predator's fighter planes were still on standby near the fleet and quickly rushed to meet them.
"Someone told me that the Earthling fleet in the New World has only been established for less than two years. It is the so-called local garrison fleet?" Sazaka sneered: "But look at their performance, ten years ago, when we went to the Alliance to hunt
, the alliance’s home fleet is at this level!”
"That's why the Great Khan asked us to recruit pirates to join us. They have been operating here for a long time and know the enemy's combat effectiveness best." At this point, Dr. Warren also sighed. So far, the pirate group has not made any movement.
There is no news about the ship that contacted the pirate group. It is likely that it has been killed by the enemy first.
"Fortunately, you are mature and prudent. Doctor, my good friend, I now feel that my consulting fee is a great deal."
At this time, Warlord Sazaka was very glad that he listened to Dr. Warren's advice and was not caught off guard by the extreme operations of the Earthlings.
"We clearly have the advantage in terms of military strength, but it's already embarrassing to fight like this." Warren shook his head.
"It's shameful." Warlord Sazaka didn't care: "As long as we achieve our strategic goals, it's not a big deal even if we kill them all. The Great Khan will not treat me badly."
Dr. Warren thought to himself, a loyal non-Eroan warlord like you is really a strange flower in the original meaning of the word.
However, if you think about it carefully, there are actually quite a few long-bearded monsters and troll soldiers like Sazaka who are loyal to the Great Khan Tomiteli. This is why this two-million-light-year expedition
, the reason why the Aero people are actually only 70%.
This is why I, a human being, am very optimistic about the ideal blueprint of the Great Khan.
At this time, Warlord Sazaka said: "In other words, if it is really destroyed, the Great Khan will think more highly of me."
No one is stupid! Dr. Warren was immediately in awe.
