Chapter 398： Dilar encounter (middle)

"This is... Byron's Headless Horseman?" Tang Fang suddenly recalled how the three of Byron, Aros, and Howson were chatting and spanking on Planet 5.

"It's mine!" Aros hadn't forgotten the bet between the two.

As soon as Zhou Ai heard this, he couldn't help but "chuck" and laughed: "According to the situation in front of him, not only did Byron take the throne of the leader, but even the car became the opponent's ride."

Tang Fang gave her a slanted look: "Well, yes, things to ride...riding position..." This kid seemed to echo his voice, but in fact the word "riding" was extremely heavy.

"Kleiya?" Zhou Ai glared.

The girl took advantage of the trend and stuffed a piece of peeled green grape into Tang Fang's mouth without saying anything: "You guy who runs the train with his mouth full, Tang Yun is still down there."

"Uh..." Tang Fang was speechless for a while, subconsciously straightened his neck and looked down. Howson and Churchill are eyeing again, hello and me, are full of love, soap is high. In front of Xiao Nizi looked at the meter readings on the navigation platform without paying attention to the undisciplined incident on the second floor.

"Fortunately..." Tang Fang looked at Claire with gratitude.

"Captain." At this moment, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, the blushing naval officer Yuffi turned his head and looked at the crowd: "The enemy fleet sent 2 destroyers and 3 frigates towards us."

Nehemiah, Grant and others all looked at him together: "What to do? To fight or not to fight?"

"Huh." Tang Fang squinted his eyes and scanned the five pirate warships that were approaching straight ahead: "Expand the star ring and rush to me."

The reason why I did not leave "Jakartapur" immediately to rush to "Babylon" was to find Byron and then set up the "Morning Star Casting".

Johnny said that he lacked hands and had no confidant. There is no basis, no background, no background. Such all kinds. How can you not think of it if you are careful?

Byron, Zhou Ai, Aros, Howson, and Eva were the people he brought out from Planet 5. Without him, several people would have died in the hands of the Monya government, and there is no doubt about their loyalty.

Among them, Byron is even the leader of the Apollo Pirates. If you find him, are you worried about lack of manpower? In fact, "Morning Star Casting" is just a tool for him to hide his strength and confuse the sights of the Star Alliance and other forces. The core secret is only known to high-level officials such as Byron and Zhou Ai. As for whether the subordinate pirates really had one mind with him, Tang Fang had no thoughts and had no time to test them. He only asked that these people are obedient and obedient, otherwise...Killing a pirate, Master Captain will not feel guilty.

In this way, the manpower is available, the base... Then I can only wronged Albert for moving his gold-plated butt. Of course, this move will certainly offend some people or forces, but he doesn't care. By his friendship with Byron. Both the emotion and the reason should help to pretend, force, and commit the "Cyclops" to take back the position of the head of the Apollo Pirates.

In addition, he has another consideration, to know that "Apollo" is a large pirate group. When Byron was in power, he must have had contacts with senior figures in the Star Alliance government. As long as he helped him regain control of "Apollo", the backstage and background would not be solved by the edge?

Half a month ago, why did he make such a big disturbance in "Jakartapur", even playing tricks and tricks with politicians whom he always resented. One is forced by the situation, and the other is paving the way for "Morning Star Casting".

When I first arrived in "Jakartapur". He thought about finding the pirates to kill the chickens, so that Walton could do things easily. It was only afterwards that the situation took a turn for the worse, and Clement and Junichi Fukui dared to make small moves against the Morningstar. While this made Tang Fang annoyed, he also saw the hateful faces of the politicians turning their hands over and over.

Since then, he will use his plan to use the problem to play another game of "killing the chicken and the monkey". This time, it is not the pirate group who is attacking, but the senior members of the Star League. The entire "Jakartapur" was turned upside down by one's own strength. No matter who wants to move such a force, he must weigh his own weight.

Of course, these are not enough for him who wants to form "Morning Star Casting". Once the "Rover Technology Consortium" knows that it will start anew, God knows how it will react. Therefore, he must find another backstage. In this regard, he already has a candidate, Terry Ferdinand, the backstage boss of the "Apollo" Pirates when Byron was in power.

He wasn't afraid of the old foxes in the parliament, but he was too lazy to make trouble for himself. If in the future there is any decision in the parliament that is unfavorable to the "Morning Star Casting", with a figure like Terry Ferdinand in the system, wouldn't he save a lot of things?

His idea is very simple, how do you like to wrangling, how to restrain your elbow, as long as you don't bother me. It's your luck that you can't pass Terry Ferdinand's level. If you pass it carelessly, it will really provoke him, hum... Master Captain is never a good talker. It's really going to be a big mess, he doesn't mind letting the Star Alliance government play the game, adding another stronghold to the intricate Tianchao star area.

Of course, these are things to follow. The first task now is to rescue Byron and repel the pirate fleet.

"Expand the star ring, switch the plasma mode, the countdown to the shield system starts, 10, 9, 8..."

The Morningstar moved forward quickly, the 2 destroyers and 3 frigates on the opposite side did not say hello, and it stopped at 60 kilometers. The main gun of the ship's string was fine-tuned to firmly lock the fast approaching target on the opposite side.

At the same time, the morning star's star ring unfolded, and a large amount of silver-white plasma jets spouted from the star ring fissure, and then quickly stretched under the action of the force field, forming a spindle shield like an "Aurora".

From the outside, the plasma shield is blue and white, not as dazzling and colorful as the "Aurora". But even so, it was a great shock to the low-level pirates like "Apollo" who had never seen the world.

The five battleships paused for a while, and it took about 10 seconds before the gunners pressed the fire button amid the roar of the captain.

The water splashed out by dozens of-projectiles is generally poured on the plasma shield outside the Morningstar. The silver-blue light waves flow around, and a large amount of plasma gathers on the bow under the action of the star ring sensing components to form a high-density plasma stream. .

The projectile hits the dense plasma stream, and the kinetic energy it carries is absorbed by the colloidal plasma, and then squeezed out of the shield. It can't cause any damage to the hull at all.

5vs1, the first round of attacks failed, and the bridge staff of the 5 warships on the opposite side were all dumbfounded. This level of attack can be replaced by a general destroyer. Even considering that the bow of the ship had the thickest armor and was not sunk by chance, it might have damaged the main structure and greatly reduced its combat effectiveness, but the guy on the opposite side would be better, as if it were a okay person.

What is the thick silver-blue shield outside it?

Since the kinetic bomb has no results, what about the heat exchange bomb? Wei Wei was overwhelmed by surprise, and the interception team launched several flying thunders.

At this time the distance between the two has been shortened to 40k. Large and small flying thunders whizzed past, and went straight to the opposite target. This time, they learned the lessons of the previous attack and launched an all-round three-dimensional bombing.

Fragmentation warheads, high-explosive warheads, ep impact warheads, radioactive warheads, and even small-yield nuclear-charged bombs...sequentially exploded on the surface of the spindle-shaped plasma shield.

Heat energy, explosive energy, powerful fragments, pulse waves, high-energy rays, etc., complicated attacks instantly envelop the entire ship hull, the silver-blue shield oscillated rapidly, and bright lights flowed through the surface. Under the adjustment of the stellar ring induction device, the plasma output of the ship's belly storage bin increased sharply. The porthole reflected the violent changes of the shield, shining like sparkling waves floating on the surface of the sea.

Tang Fang sat in the captain's seat. Looking at the nuclear energy readings consumed by the starring, he frowned slightly. Sure enough, the plasma shield does not have a strong energy supply, and it will show the defect of insufficient battery life. Especially in the face of kinetic energy and explosive energy attacks, the load on the system is relatively large, but it is effective in defending against energy and ray-type attacks.

It seems... the plasma mode is really not comparable to the zero element mode.

But even so, with only 5 small and medium warships, it is absolutely impossible to break the plasma shield. The distance of 40k seems to be constant. But in the starry sky of the universe, there is only a drop in the ocean. Braving the cannonball rain, the Morningstar rushed to the opposite interception team at its maximum speed.

The captains of the five pirate warships were stunned by the scene. Seeing the Morningstar rushing straight forward, the two destroyers in the middle subconsciously dispersed to the left and right. At the same time, with wisps of smoke, the Morningstar headed unchanged, and the bow and the 2nd destroyer "passed by".

Of course, the metaphor of "passing by shoulders" may be a bit inaccurate, but referring to the size of the universe, a distance of a few hundred meters is nothing to say.

Finally, the two-string main artillery of the Morningstar moved, and the six magnetic rail guns quickly turned, shooting a row of lightning projectiles towards the two destroyers that were passing by, and the plum blossom-shaped rapid gun array at the bottom of the ship disappeared along the plasma shield. Rows of light rain swept out the pores.

There were also dark deep-space torpedoes, which popped out of the launch tube at the bottom of the ship's belly silently, causing the two destroyers to pass by, and the fast course of sight was blocked, and the three frigates were unable to react.

In the blink of an eye, the fire surged, fragments were thrown away, and the high-explosive armor-piercing shells of the swift gun left a long scar on the side strings of the two pirate destroyers. The projectiles fired by the six magnetic rail guns directly smashed the weapon system, the ship island, and even penetrated the additional armor in the battle.

In the short span of a passing moment, when the enemy ship was caught off guard, three rounds of attacks before and after, as if breaking through, sent two pirate destroyers to a dead end. As for the other three frigates, the tricky deep-space torpedoes were protected by the pirate destroyer and evaded the on-board radar, hitting the frigate hull one after another, turning into a turbulent wreck.

The five warships behind were burning with raging flames and rolled to the left and right, the morningstar shield streamer flashed, and the silver and blue moved from the bow to the stern. From the beginning to the end, the speed was not reduced, and they rushed straight toward the main pirate fleet.

Charman was taken aback. When the intelligence agent reported to him that the interception squad had been annihilated, the first reaction of the new deputy commander was that this was impossible and must be mistaken. 2 destroyers plus 3 frigates, according to common sense, the combat power ratio exceeds 3:1, can this advantage be defeated? Not to mention that the whole army was wiped out, and why these guys who were engaged in intelligence didn't wake up? This kind of unthinkable result, think about it with your ass, and know that it will never appear.

However, when the intelligence agent tremblingly transferred a picture to the bridge No. 2 large screen, Charman and the staff were completely stunned. What a joke!

In the picture, a battleship bathed in silver-blue light quickly approached the main force fleet. Behind its tail, there was a volley of volleys that exploded more and more far.

"Hi..." Everyone gasped.

"Captain, it's not good. There was a large number of low-thermal energy reactions on the left wing of'Christier'. Estimated number...260."

As soon as the voice fell, it followed. The person's voice suddenly increased by 80 decibels: "The right...the right wing also detected a thermal response, with a high energy level. The number...150!"

"What?" Charman finally couldn't sit still, and with a strong effort, he lifted his **** from the tiger leather chair, and said nervously: "Is it Steven Sue?"

"No...no." The intelligence officer took a closer look at the results of the shipboard quantum radar analysis, and shook his head: "They are all small ships."

"Small ship?" Charlman was puzzled. Why did the small ship join in the fun? 260+150, a total of 410, if it is the same as yours. Composed of a combination of frigates, destroyers, cruisers, and battleships, with the current pirate force of less than 300, it is impossible to pack up and go home.

If the opponent is just a few small ships, the result is another matter. Your own giant ship artillery can slaughter the 400 small ships clean in minutes, which is simply death!

"Since it's not Stephen Sue, nor can it be Ruskin Eddie, who would it be?" Charlman curled his eyebrows.

At this time. Receiving orders from higher authorities, the reconnaissance ships that went to the two wings to investigate sent back some image data, and the intelligence officer hurriedly transferred the latest information to the main bridge monitor.

Left wing. With the fine adjustment of the operating parameters of the high-power optical lens of the reconnaissance ship’s sensor system, the picture gradually became clearer, and one after another hideous and terrifying star beasts flew out from the shadow area of ​​"Christier". The left wing outflanked the "Apollo" battleship group.

The low-calorie unit in the intelligence officer's mouth is actually... a group of big bugs, big bugs that can traverse the void alone!

Charman really wanted to spit out: "God, are you kidding me?", however. The image on the right wing gave him another blow.

Unlike the big bugs on the left wing, the flying units on the right wing consist of aerospace fighters and milky white transport aircraft. And a mechanical battle group composed of dazzling aircraft.

What's going on? Charman and the deputy captain looked at each other, and the scene before them subverted their perceptions. Flying units with completely different systems enter in disorder? There is also a lone ranger behind the ass. The three included the "Apollo" fleet.

"Order the two-wing destroyers and frigates to change their formations, and the battleship and cruiser formations will suspend their fire suppression on the ground. First, let me wipe out this group of unopened intruders." Charman clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

For the first time leading the expedition, can't he let "Christier" be removed easily? What happened to these weird combinations?

Where did the biological warship come from? Where did the mechanical battle group come from? There is also the modified Lightning Python-class destroyer that rushes straight towards the Headless Horseman with a shot into the soul from behind. Where did they all emerge from?

Charlemagne had never experienced the Battle of Rector, so naturally he didn’t know where these messy and weird flying units came from, and he didn’t even know that there were not only two factions of aircraft coming from afar to the pirate battleship group, but also another kind. , Unfortunately he couldn't see it.

In accordance with the instructions of the deputy commander, the frigates and destroyers on standby on both wings of the fleet quickly turned and spread out to the left and right. The formations of cruisers and battleships behind were raised or lowered to form a standard cruciform battle formation.

Although the identity is a pirate, from the point of view of the rapid change of formation, he must practice regularly.

The attacking formation that was originally restrained against the "Christier" star split into two sets of cross battle formations in a short time. Charlemagne's "Headless Horseman", and its immediate escort, turned around and turned on the long-range weapons to meet the gradually slowing down of the Morningstar, and ejected one kinetic energy projectile after another.

Putting a fighting posture in the air, in order to weaken the pressure of "Christier" land-based weapons on air units The Pirate Landing Force has moved from the original passive offensive to full-line advancement, maintaining fire suppression on the defense lines around the park .

Finally, a great battle began. The two sides did not negotiate and did not speak. The pirates tried to solve these unknowingly intruders in a short time. However, Tang Fang was determined to completely defeat the Apollo Pirates fleet to weaken Albert's forces and pave the way for Byron to retake "Apollo".

Light, continuous flashes were fired from the main and auxiliary battery of various battleships, and the massive missiles roared away like a hot stream from the crater of a volcano, carrying thick clouds of smoke.

On the space battlefield with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, the light rain is like weaving, and the projectiles are like meteorites from outside the sky with raging fire, spanning hundreds of kilometers, and splashing on the camps of the human and insects.

With the help of reconnaissance ships, combat support ships, and ship-based fire control radars, the accuracy of the projectiles of the magnetic track cannon is extremely high. The small units of the human and insect races do not have shields, and the units flying in the front are struck straight.

However, what is horrifying is that the projectile with extremely high kinetic energy penetrates the target body so easily, without explosion, no flash, and no flesh and blood flying horizontally, only causing light patterns in the void, and the picture is distorted. (To be continued)
