79. Hope
After the carrier-based aircraft cluster had an excellent commander, it suddenly broke out with An Tong's unexpected strong combat effectiveness, so that his guy, who always talked about the aircraft carrier not being suitable for this version, had a good understanding of the art of air combat, only to see that the carrier-based aircraft in the sky maintained a seemingly chaotic but in fact orderly formation and quickly eliminated the enemy aircraft, and An Tong's worries were finally put down a lot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The enemy's planes immediately chose to retreat to their own air defense circle after they no longer had the advantage in air combat, but the losses suffered in the process had made them completely lose the battle for air supremacy, and the human fleet was finally able to continue firing at the opposite side without distraction, and the human fleet equipped with the latest fire control, powerful shells, and various new main guns, even if it was numerically inferior, but if it was just such an artillery battle, it was not difficult to delay enough time.
So in this way, the ships on the human side cooperated with the carrier-based aircraft in the sky to forcibly maintain the defense line at a distance of about 20,000 meters, and the deep fog side was hindered by the deterrent power of the super weapon of the black hole, and never dared to organize the cluster charge that they were best at, which gave the human side the opportunity to continue to maintain the situation.
This is undoubtedly the ideal outcome, and finally the situation on the battlefield enters a planned stalemate, and now it is a question of how long the transmission nodes can hold out.
At this time, the deep fog also seemed to realize something, and began to gradually strengthen the attack on the transmission node, the two sides have been engaged in fierce battles at several nodes, and several of them are even precarious because of the addition of many high-level deep fog such as thunder-class battleships, and they are about to fall.
But at this critical moment, several white pillars of light suddenly descended from the sky like the light of judgment from heaven, accurately shining on the heads of those high-grade deep fog, these high-purity pure energy beams are more effective weapons than anything else against the deep fog, under the irradiation of this beam, Rao is thunder-class battleship with outstanding defensive performance did not last long, and the devouring energy on the body was quickly purified and turned back into a crystal clear core. At the same time, such a purifying light fell from many areas of intense fighting on the entire battlefield, which almost instantly helped the ships defending the transmission node to stabilize the situation.
This is the space-based weapon mentioned by the 16th Town Guard, which directly projects high-intensity net energy rays from the attack satellite in low earth orbit to attack the enemy, this accurate weapon that can cover the entire battlefield is undoubtedly a sharp weapon for battlefield support! And this conceptual weapon, which originally only existed in the imagination, finally really entered the battlefield after being directly supplied with energy from the net energy reactor, and achieved excellent results at the beginning.
The only regret is that the large-scale use of such support will slow down the charging speed on the side of the portal, although it is not as exaggerated as the black hole, but it can't be used indiscriminately, and An Tong also used it once when he saw which node was about to be unable to hold on, helping them delay for a longer time.
According to the original plan, these nodes would need to hold out for at least 2 hours before they consider giving up strategically, and before that, they must hold on.
In addition to the direct support of space-based weapons, the remaining reserve combat power on his hand is basically put into it, either to assist the ship girls there to continue to defend, or to replace those who are too damaged to ship girls, in short, to play the cards at hand as soon as possible.
Because the entire charge had been going on for two hours at this time, and the progress was already halfway through, he naturally wanted to continue to maintain such a high efficiency situation.
However, the deep fog seems to really realize the importance of these nodes, at the same time that An Tong threw out all the hole cards, they were also frantically sending additional troops to the nodes, and soon, the first fallen node appeared, even if An Tong had invested a considerable degree of reserve force to defend it, but the enemy suddenly didn't know where to suddenly mobilize three huge warships Qi Ji to come over, and directly destroyed the transmission crystal with ultra-high-intensity firepower...
The transmission crystal, which has been specially reinforced and defended, is covered by high-intensity artillery fire, and it is also a weaker weakness than the ship's mother...
"Fortunately, the first fall point was much later than planned." An Tong looked at the situation displayed on the light curtain, and hesitated whether to continue to invest troops in this area to re-establish the node, but after some weighing, he still ordered to give up, and asked those ships in charge of defense to quickly evacuate through the temporary folding force field projected by the satellite, and at the same time, the defenders of a series of nodes related to this node also withdrew one after another, and then rested as a reserve force, and he was assigned to other areas where the battle was scorched.
As for the reactor that could not be charged because of the disconnection of the node, it was specially supplied with energy to the space-based weapon system in the air to ensure the support of the battlefield.
At this time, the ancestor Higra, who was standing behind him, asked, "Is there a missing energy source?" ”
"Strategic abandonment." An Tong replied.
"In this way, the estimated time will be extended by at least 30 minutes." After a brief calculation, Ancestor Higra said, "If the situation allows, don't lose any more nodes." ”
"I do my best." An Tong took a deep breath, and then ordered his own ships equipped with cutting-edge external weapons to retreat back, the current situation on the side of the final defense line is quite optimistic, and he plans to send these elite forces on hand as support.
"Thank you for your hard work." He said this to the girls who had disappeared into the Transcendence Force Field, and then continued to focus on the follow-up command.
At this time, the deep fog has completely fallen into madness, not only in the Pacific Theater, but even those deep fog scattered in other areas seem to have received some order, and begin to frantically search for the transmission nodes arranged in the nearby seas, and if they can't find it, they will start to attack the human coastline, and even have a tendency to directly attack the net energy reactor.
And because most of the forces are deployed in the Pacific Ocean, the combat power responsible for defense at this time is not enough after all, for a while, many important ports or cities around the world have been attacked by deep fog, and alarms and distress signals are heard everywhere, as if the end of the world has come.
The main combat force responsible for defense, the Fire Demon Hand Legion from Calais took on extremely severe pressure, and several admirals who were close to An Tong were also involved, Su Wanwan looked at the red dots flickering everywhere on the light curtain, and her face was no longer optimistic and cheerful, and she held Yuli's hand beside her with some concern, and asked, "Sister Yuli, can the stupid side really win?" ”
"Yes, teacher, he never let us down, did he?" Yuri smiled reluctantly and replied.
Admiral Deis, who was sitting next to him with that terrible and strange face, couldn't help but say after hearing the conversation between the two girls: "All we can do now is do our best and trust him, isn't it?" ”
There are actually many people who think the same way as him, such as Kaga who is directing carrier-based aircraft to fight the enemy, Angela who stays at home and prays silently, like Summer who faces the battlefield with her eyes closed...
Everyone's hopes have been pinned on him alone, and at this moment, whether he wants to or not, he has truly become a savior who bears all the hopes of mankind...
And his performance has never disappointed, by the time the battle is 3 hours into the battle, the charge is 80% complete, and people can already vaguely see the dawn of victory...
However, at this time, there are only 6 transmission nodes left...
By the time the battle had been going on for 5 hours, only the last 5% of the charge remained, but there was only one last charge node left that was still in operation, the last remaining transmission route, starting from Africa and all the way across the Asian continent to the Pacific Ocean.
An Tong didn't expect that this last hope would come from the place where he first came...
But this last node has also reached a precarious state, even if An Tong has invested all his extra combat power to defend there, it is still forcibly cut off under the almost suicidal attack of countless deep fogs.
The last white light that accumulated on the giant crystal was finally cut off before the charge was completed, and the final charge progress was also frozen at the last 95%.
"Is this the end of it?" An Tong looked at the numbers that would not change, and for the first time in his heart, a feeling called despair appeared.
"No, we're winning." Ancestor Higra replied, and glanced back at An Tong, and a smile actually bloomed on his face, as beautiful as a goddess of victory who had descended into the world.
With that, she slowly stretched out her little white hand and touched the giant crystal, and a dazzling white light suddenly burst out from her whole body.
In the light that seemed to illuminate all the darkness, Antong only saw the incomparably attached eyes she left for her last...
"Higra!" An Tong shouted, stepping on the surface of the sea and quickly pounced on her, but even if he ran as hard as he could, what he finally reached out to save was only a light blue core crystal...
At this moment, the portal's charging progress has finally reached 100%, and this girl named Higra, the girl who brought hope to Antong, filled the last gap with her body, and sprinkled hope all over the world.
