Chapter 39: The Hunter and the Prey
The flag of the goddess Clara fluttered in the wind, and an elite fleet of more than two thousand people appeared in front of Angel's eyes, and the other party approached him in a half-moon shape, apparently discovering himself as well. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"It's Lehu!" Xuefeng called out, and Anqi also noticed that the commander of the opposite fleet was his "old acquaintance" Lehu! There was contact between the two sides very early on, of course, the kind of contact that fought each other.
More than a year ago, he was defeated in that big battle, and it was the fleet led by Lehu who attacked him, and almost threw himself into a situation from which he could never recover.
"Looks like you're doing a good job!" The fleet of more than 2,000 people is already a lot of money, and the other party may not have brought out all the belongings like himself.
"Retreat!" Angel was not immersed in the anger of the other party stepping on his superiority, and calmly gave the order. As a decoy, the most important thing is to successfully lure the enemy over, and the opponent's strength is much stronger than himself, so there is no chance of winning.
"Island Master, that's Angel's fleet." On the flagship of Clara's Goddess fleet, Le Hu and his deputy were also observing Anqi's fleet, and both sides discovered each other almost at the same time.
"Turn around, pursue!" Seeing that Angel was about to escape, Lehu's first reaction was to chase!
"Owner, will you deviate from your goal?" The deputy reminded Le Hu that the purpose of the trip was not for Anqi's fleet.
It's not that enemies don't get together, Lehu and Anqi are old rivals, and this expedition, the tasks of the two sides are not much different, they are all bait. That's right, this fleet led by Lehu is also a bait, but this bait is too big to swallow.
Since the beginning of the battle more than a year ago, Clara's men have been actively attacking, and the power of Elle, who has been guarding in seclusion, has been much underestimated. Although the upper echelons of Clara's forces are still vigilant against Elle's forces, the middle and lower class island owners and soldiers have a general contemptuous attitude, which has a lot to do with the successive battles and victories in these days, as well as the retreat of Elle.
Just like Lehu, if he met Anqi more than a year ago, he would have been cautious and would not dare to be sloppy. And now, relying on the powerful fleet behind him, he directly launched a pursuit of Anqi!
"The energy cannon is activated, and the long-range fire suppression is carried out!" Lehu is also used as a decoy, but the fleet is not equipped with high-speed ships like Anqi. In Lehu's fleet, there are main ships equipped with multiple energy cannons!
A dull thunder sounded, faster than the thunder, a dozen scorching streamers, smashing towards Anqi's fleet. Anqi's fleet was not equipped with firepower facilities, and on this basis, both speed and dodge ability were greatly improved. In the first round of attacks, most of them missed.
One of the streamers, which just flew towards Angel's flagship Love You, couldn't avoid the blow despite the evasion. The streamer was already very close, and Angel could even feel the scorching breath of the streamer, but there was no panic, even if according to the trajectory of the streamer, it would smash into Angel's side.
A barrier appeared, right in front of Angel's eyes. The streamer produced a violent explosion, and the core of the explosion even produced a spatial distortion, and the surrounding waves set off dozens of meters high, and the sea water at the center of the explosion was directly evaporated!
All the power was blocked from that barrier, and Angel watched quietly, without the slightest fluctuation in her emotions. Since being brought by his predecessors many years ago to see the power of the energy cannon, it has become commonplace, and there is nothing surprising about it. Even Angel's flagship is a ship that has abandoned firepower and protection to enhance speed and evasion capabilities. The barrier was not a ship's own defense. It's the ability of your own soldiers, and every ship has soldiers on it who can cast an energy shield to protect the ship.
And those soldiers who can cast the energy shield, except for some gifted existences, are all strong people who have reached more than fifty percent of their power release. It's just that every time you resist an artillery bombardment, it consumes a lot of energy.
Le Hu didn't think about what the first round of attacks could achieve, and even the shelling was just to slow down the speed of the Angel fleet. As the bait, Lehu, although equipped with several main ships, is not particularly strong in terms of firepower, which Lehu is very clear.
"The shelling continues, the stormtroopers prepare!" The soldiers were completely free from the boats, and even for a while, most of them were faster than the ships. Long-range artillery shelling is just harassment, pinning down the speed of the enemy fleet. If you want to really intercept the enemy, you have to rely on the attack of the stormtroopers.
Scattered streamers have been exploding around Angel's fleet, with occasional streamers about to hit ships, and soldiers blocking them with energy shields. The shelling was just a trivial matter, but Angel and Xuefeng's faces sank.
More than 300 people, the first wave of the enemy's stormtrooper, there were more than 300 people! You must know that being able to serve as a member of the stormtrooper is an elite existence! In particular, the members of the first wave of stormtroopers are generally soldiers who have released more than 50% of their strength!
More than 300 people came out of the half-moon-shaped fleet, quickly formed a triangular charging formation, and flew towards Anqi's fleet at a constant speed. This speed is already much greater than the speed of the Angel fleet, although it can be faster, but for the sake of formation and defense, this speed is enough. It was only ten minutes before the stormtroopers arrived.
A scene of pursuit was staged on the sea, and both sides were moving at high speeds, and the fleet in the rear barely managed to lose the fleet in front. From a distance, the first wave of stormtroopers had already crossed half the distance and approached Angel's fleet. At this time, the second wave of stormtroopers was ready, and the number was still more than 300 people, ready to go.
Veteran owners are stronger than rookie owners, especially in terms of soul power. However, there is also a big difference between the veteran owners, and the gap is much larger than that of the rookie period. Angel and Lehu, who can serve as bait tasks, are both first-class existences among senior island owners. If you compare the degree, ordinary senior island owners are only several times more than Han Lie and other rookie island owners, and more than ten times more soul power. But the words of Angel and Le Hu are at least a hundred times more, and as for a big man like Aisha, it is even more unpredictable.
Angel and Le Hu's soul grid easily covered the entire battlefield, and the first wave of stormtroopers had been blessed by Le Hu's soul power, and at this moment, it was only three minutes away from Angel's fleet!
"Ready!" Naturally, Angel would not be indifferent to watching the other party come over, this is not as easy to dispel as the streamer of shelling. The side of the fleet close to the enemy, already full of ranged soldiers, just waiting for the enemy to come into range.
The arrows and spells in the sky were struck towards the stormtroopers, and the distance between the two sides was already very close, and it took less than two minutes to make contact, and finally entered the range of the ranged soldiers. Each ranged attack is no longer a separate one, every ranged soldier will cooperate with each other to form a chain attack, each attack has its own meaning of existence, such as covering for the next attack, or blocking the position, or concentrating on the power to carry out a killing blow.
After years of training and actual combat, this kind of cooperation has been integrated into the bones, and the cooperation between gestures has become natural. The reason why the stormtroopers suppressed their speed was to prevent the opponent's attack. A layer of barrier appeared in front of the stormtroopers, and Angel guessed right, the strength of these soldiers was released to more than fifty percent! The barrier is jointly cast, more tenacious, less expensive, and completely withstands the fire of ranged soldiers.
Angel's brows furrowed, knowing that things were not going to be easy, the soldiers on both sides were approaching, the ranged soldiers had retreated, and the melee soldiers rushed to the front.
The barrier of the stormtrooper union disappeared, and although all ranged attacks were blocked, the continuous firepower and energy consumption were also huge. The good thing is that the second wave of stormtroopers is already on the way, and faster than the first!
"Kill!" The soldiers on both sides began to fight, and Angel blessed her own soldiers in the soul grid and tried to block Lehu's soul grid. At the level of a senior island owner, the soul grid can not only increase one's own side, but also weaken the opponent. Although there is not much difference in the soul power of the two sides, the battle is right in front of An Qi's eyes, and it is not impossible for An Qi to try to block the influence of Le Hu.
"Bang" Yukikaze knocks down an enemy trying to get close to Angel and holds the island's side.
"It's close." Angel is not talking about the second wave of stormtroopers that are already approaching, but about approaching his own large army!
"Perhaps, successive victories have blinded you? You've become contemptuous, too, Lehu. Angel quietly looked at the enemy fleet that was still chasing her, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Owner, maybe it's time for us to evacuate." Lehu's deputy knew that it was a bit inappropriate to say such things now, but at that time, Lehu's fleet was getting farther and farther away from the large forces in the rear, because of the need to pursue the Anqi fleet, the speed was increased a lot, and it was difficult for the large forces in the rear to accelerate suddenly.
"I see." At this time, Lehu had calmed down, and when he first met his old opponent Anqi, he had the strength to crush the opponent on his side, so he immediately ordered to pursue. "When you kill Angel, or do enough damage to her, evacuate immediately."
Angel's fleet had slowed down due to the fact that it was already engaged with the stormtroopers, and Lehu did not send a third wave of stormtroopers. In fact, there are very few soldiers in the second wave of stormtroopers who have released more than 50% of their strength, on the one hand, there is no way to organize the third wave, and on the other hand, because there is no need for it.
Lehu's fleet has caught up with Anqi's fleet, and the two sides are already about to make contact. Le Hu felt that something was wrong, because the contact was too fast, and according to his expectations, it would be a few minutes before he could catch up.
This was done by Angel on purpose, she reduced the speed of the ship to a very low level, not only because of the influence of the stormtroopers, but more importantly, because she wanted to entangle Lehu.
"Island master, it's not good, a large number of enemies have been found ahead." Le Hu's deputy reported to the owner in a panic that he had just seen a strong alarm from the enemy-seeking equipment, and patches of red areas appeared on the equipment, which represented countless enemies!
