Full of holes and wounds, but like a hedgehog covered with ferocious firepower, this typical output enemy ship will of course be eliminated first by any pragmatic commander. No,
As a pragmatist, Colonel Campbell suddenly became excited when he saw the burning enemy ship that lit up half of the starry sky like a torch.
"Right 15, advance 4!" He shouted loudly.
Barbarossa switched to the fourth charge speed and once again avoided the opponent's main gun by turning sideways. The dense anti-aircraft firepower on one side of the ship intertwined a firepower network that was impossible to start in the night sky, constantly smashing the predators over.
It is also impossible for the missile to crash.
Of course, in the battleship duel where the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, since the attack is given to the opponent, it is impossible to be completely unharmed. Therefore, more than ten thermonuclear missiles still passed through the firepower
The interception net exploded at close range.
The energy shield on Barbarossa's side was finally neutralized after successive explosions. As a result, the fiery shock wave began to bombard the side of the hull, bringing with it the flames of the explosion. However, this was probably due to the painting of the battleship itself.
It was red, but it did not leave any visible scars on the hull.
However, although the red dreadnought suffered a little damage, it still maintained a high-speed charge with its head held high. Its huge body was still as agile as a fluttering fire phoenix, lightly drawing an elegant curve in front of them.
arc, and started the next round of main gun salvo again.
For the Predators, this was a scene that frightened them. Of course, they didn't expect to sink a dreadnought so easily, but they felt that if they continued to use these outputs a few times, they would have to cause some structural damage. But.
From the looks of it, the opponent's mobility, speed, and even firepower were not affected in any way.
More importantly, by this time, the opponent is closer to us and the accuracy will be higher.
Colonel Campbell watched with satisfaction as his own main gun fired a volley, swamping another enemy "sideship". In this warship, which is generally weak in attack and defense, such a thin-skinned enemy is really rare.
Already.
Some of the officers and soldiers on the bridge could not help but cheer loudly. You must know that everyone had just escaped from the illusion of gray fog. The giant planet ship that almost covered half of the starry sky seemed to be able to blow away the star with its jet nozzle.
Our own people and ships were completely devoured. Under this close-range shock, everyone's sanity dropped a lot.
Now encountering an enemy like this that can be blasted to death with a cannon is simply a leisure chapter given to everyone by the spirit of the universe!
Of course, Colonel Campbell was not really dazzled by the results of the victory. Amidst the excitement of the officers and soldiers on the bridge, and his own feelings of satisfaction and relief, he still kept a clear head and ordered the battleship to start the next step in an orderly manner.
action.
Therefore, Barbarossa once again let go of most of the main gun firepower of the opposite Marauder Dreadnought. At the cost of minor damage to the side of the rear cabin, Barbarossa cut the front of the ship to the right front of the opponent, and started another round.
The main gun fired a salvo.
More than a third of the densely packed main gun ports on the front side of the dreadnought were immediately knocked off. The raging fire continued and did not go out for the next half hour.
Of course, the protection of this Predator Dreadnought is visually much stronger than that of my two thin-skinned and large-sized wing ships, and it has returned to the mainstream design of attacking the weak and defending the strong.
But at this level, the showdown between giant ships has actually decided the winner, but it will take time to produce results.
Of course, since the Barbarossa had just arrived and immediately jumped into the battle, it didn't even have time to conduct a preliminary wide-area exploration of the galaxy, so it temporarily didn't notice the dense and chaotic other side of the asteroid belt.
energy signal.
Therefore, until now, Miss Giafel still dare not rule out the possibility of a trap.
"So, where did those drones go?"
"So, again, what have I done to attract so much hatred? Why are these drones coming at me? Who am I? Why are they targeting me? Why? Why? Why?
?”
Jaeger Soback still felt like crying.
The enemy dreadnought that suddenly stood in front of it was indeed very martial. It ignored this harmless little cruiser and went straight to find trouble for the Barbarossa.
Well, dreadnoughts should find opponents with dreadnought specifications, so that they can have a sense of honor as warriors!
Although this is true, it cannot completely change the current situation of himself and the Snowstorm.
Those ancient unmanned ships like triangular spears, and the Marauder warships that had targeted the Blizzard from the beginning, still did not give up their plan to completely bury this hatred-filled Imperial warship.
More importantly, the mothership that appeared just now has not completely left. Although she is still more than a million kilometers away from the Buran, she has been hovering next to an asteroid without moving. However, Sobai knew
, if she continues to flee forward without hesitation, she will soon enter the strike range of an aircraft carrier. She can throw out hundreds of fighter planes to intercept her. At that time, there will be wolves in front of her and behind her.
With the tiger, the Snowstorm would not be able to survive even if it gave birth to a baby with three heads and six arms.
In short, we can no longer keep our heads forward in silence.
Fortunately, there is a very dense area of asteroids next to the Buran, which is very similar to an astronomical phenomenon formed by the recent disintegration of a dwarf planet. Of course, now is not the time to engage in scientific exploration, so Soback ordered everyone to
He quickly moved the ship over and let the thousand-meter-long hull swim directly into this dense star belt, just like a ship plunging into a reef zone.
Immediately afterwards, the Buran's tail threw two more antimatter mines equipped with timing devices. They slowly landed at the entrance of the asteroid belt through which the cruiser passed, and threw out the gravitational anchor to fix themselves.
The Predators have suffered losses from this new imperial weapon more than once. They also know that this thing is actually a highly intelligent guided drone, and it also has a space generator. With the Predators' current technology,
There's really no way to prevent it.
The pursuing warships did hesitate, stopped one after another, and began to try to drive the Blizzard out with shelling.
And those stubborn drones were even more sharp than the predators, and they stopped early. They were hanging in the void, constantly receiving external signals, and their surfaces were still flickering.
The light is just like the green eyes of those hungry wild wolves in the wilderness at night.
But no matter what, the Storm blocked the passage with the help of two mines, and finally stabilized the situation a little bit.
Facts have proved that Soback is indeed very talented when it comes to escaping and saving his life. This is a fact that has been proven in another timeline.
At this time, he himself couldn't help but take a deep breath and began to think about his next move.
Tsk, if it weren't for the sudden chaos of a few more large ships, I would have run away long ago. Well, maybe they all went to the gravity well and jumped back.
Soback looked at the Predator aircraft carrier a million kilometers away from him and gritted his teeth with hatred. He had forgotten that if he really abandoned all the friendly ships and fled back, there was a high probability that he would be killed by Suliuka.
The king is dead.
...But, having said that, the mothership has not made any next move since it set sail, as if it was undecided and could only stay in a daze. Why is this?
While Soback was still thinking, he heard Miss Marquis Serlu ask: "Your Excellency, our task of involving the enemy's forces has been completed. Should we turn back to the Zephyr King and join them, or should we go to support the Barbarossa?"
As expected of the daughter of the Marquis family, she is such a good girl with high emotional intelligence! She can talk about escaping so grandly, but, having said that, when did I want to do this Lao Shizi's task of involving the enemy's troops?
Soback felt that he should not ask too detailed questions, so he nodded slightly with a poker face and said: "I think that whether it is the peace with the Zephyr King or the support of the Barbarossa, there are actually
Risky.”
At this time, Soback felt that since the battle was going like this anyway, it was actually a way to use the asteroid belt as a cover to wait for help. What's more, those predator warships and drones did not dare to rush over for a while.
, they only dare to shoot at each other across the stars... Haha, there is nothing to be afraid of. Although they have a numerical advantage, whether it is archery, gunnery, artillery performance, or the strength of the armor and shield of the hull, the advantage
It's all on me!
Well, we should stick to it and wait for reinforcements! Although Soback wanted to give the order, but thinking that he was second-hand in command, he still asked humbly: "What do you think?"
"Indeed, the Wind King is fighting with the enemy. It is not wise for us to go there at this time and still have to pass through the blockade of the enemy fleet. As for the Barbarossa, her advantage cannot be shaken. We
It didn’t have much effect in the past, and we were suspected of attacking with our comrades. If we stand by here, maybe it can work wonders!"
Well, that's what makes an assistant who is well-informed and well-informed about the logic of upper class society very good. No matter what the decision is, he can always give very reasonable reasons.
This girl really... Sobek almost wanted to cry to death.
"However, I think there must be something fishy here!" As she spoke, she opened the holographic star map, clicked on a dwarf planet that had just been included in the database by the automatic detector, and zoomed in on the area there.
Soback discovered that this location was more than 200,000 kilometers away from his current location and 190,000 kilometers away from the enemy mothership that was in a daze. It was located in the inner circle of the asteroid belt orbit close to the star.
"What, what do you mean?"
"When the giant ships of the Predator appeared just now, there was a very dense high-energy signal reaction here." Serlu said: "This is what the first mate, Lieutenant Colonel Gutbi, told me just now."
After all, Yeager Soback has received professional training, so of course he understands what this means.
"How about we..." Miss Serlu showed an expectant look.
You're just a talkative kid, aren't you? Soback couldn't help but glare at the first mate, but the middle-aged Sumi crew member suddenly showed a knowing smile, with his head held high and his face full of pride, as if
It's like being reviewed by the top leadership.
Soback looked at the daughter of the Marquis family with a headache. Of course he understood what the other party meant.
This kind of place with high-energy signal response, even if it is not the enemy's headquarters, must be a very important facility. What's more, it is so close to me. As an astral knight who values martial arts more than his life, he will not rush towards it.
He is no longer worthy of wearing the Astrolabe Holy Spear Emblem.
"I think..." he began to form words.
At this time, the first mate suddenly said: "Your Excellency, the enemy mothership has moved! According to the forward direction..." He couldn't help but glance at Miss Serlu: "It's right here."
Soback almost slapped himself on the forehead, wanting to make himself faint at any moment.
"Indeed, there is a high possibility that the enemy's important strategic facilities or even headquarters are located over there. But don't forget that we are now surrounded by the enemy. If we act rashly, we will not only fail to kill the enemy and make achievements, but will only lose money.
The lives of soldiers and battleships!" When Soback said this, he couldn't help but glared at Serlu again: "I think a real knight should fulfill his duties, but not just fulfill his duties. First of all, we cannot treat life as something we can do at will.
The discarded consumables, whether they are the lives of the soldiers under your command, or yours. You can't just think about your personal achievements. Being kind and careless and wasting the lives of the soldiers are completely different things."
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
The noble daughter of a Marquis family actually bowed her head and apologized sincerely, which made Soback immediately start to feel flattered.
He suddenly felt that what he just said might be a bit harsh, so he quickly laughed and said: "Mainly because those ancient drones are too tricky. They have high speed and maneuverability, and although the beam weapons they carry have a short range, they are very powerful.
We have also seen it. If we break away from the cover of the asteroid belt, we will most likely be strangled before running halfway. Hahaha, if those triangular heads are all destroyed at this time, we can try to rush."
"Indeed, it is indeed the case..." Miss Serlu had to admit that the other party did consider her comprehensively and acted more steadily and reliably. Moreover, although his character and style were different from those of traditional nobles, when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to be more
Nobility and compassion, aren't they more worthy of respect?
"Then, I..."
Soback was just about to say something like "hold on firmly and there will be a way" to everyone, but he heard Lieutenant Colonel Gutbi loudly say again: "Your Excellency, there is a situation. It's those drones!"
You're done, aren't you? Soback was furious. He was about to explode, but he clearly saw that the drones in his field of vision that posed a huge threat to him suddenly self-destructed. They seemed to be attacked by
Invisible high-voltage electricity passed through several times, and the high-heat fire suddenly tore the armor from the inside of the machine body, forming a blazing white light.
There were even several Marauder warships nearby that were unable to dodge and got caught up in them.
Soback and all the friends around him were stunned and even forgot to continue firing back.
Of course, the Predator battleship that was shooting at the Buran must have also fallen into this state, and also lost its fire.
This awkward confrontation lasted for nearly another minute. It was not until the explosions stopped that Soback realized. He took a closer look and found that less than one-third of the drones had self-destructed, but even the remaining ones were
Although they were not destroyed by the self-destruction of their companions, they seemed to have lost their power and were floating in place like space junk.
"Sir, we can!" Serlu grabbed Sobek's hand, her bright eyes filled with embarrassment.
Can you please be gentle? Don’t you know that you are wearing a heraldry machine? Yeager Soback forced out a rather stiff smile.
