Chapter 1040: Battlefield Duel
After a months-long stalemate, the Mondello Expeditionary Force finally could not hold back and launched a large-scale offensive against the Incathian Empire's defenses under the command of Marshal Terrence.
The meteorite belt near the combat area was swept away by a large number of antimatter bombs in a very short period of time, clearing a large area of clean void area, so that both sides had no chance to use the special terrain environment to make a fuss, and could only rely on their own hard power to fight.
Against the backdrop of the vast starry sky, thousands of mobile interstellar fortresses and millions of warships lined up in a mighty formation in the void, slowly maneuvering to approach each other, and occasionally a wave of tentative attacks was issued, thousands of pillars of destruction of different thicknesses were shot out, bursting into flames at the edge of each other's ship formations, and from a distance, it looked like two galaxies about to collide like never before.
At the edge of the vast ship array, from time to time, there were battleships that exploded and disintegrated because they were unfortunately in the area of the opponent's concentrated fire attack and the collapse of the energy shield, and the void bloomed one after another brilliant fire clouds, and there was no one in ten who could survive. Immersive, that kind of terrible pressure from the spiritual level is enough to crush the life of a life with insufficient psychological quality.
The dots of white light scattered and flew in all directions, and when you got closer, you could see that it was a spherical life-saving pod that was ejected by luck, with a different number of figures inside, this is the ordinary officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to escape, compared with those Polestar warriors, their strength is limited, and they can't survive in a vacuum for a long time, so they can only wait silently in the life-saving pod, until the curtain of this battle ends, and then they can wait for rescue.
Some of the more advanced survival pods will have power propulsion, but they are slower, so the chances of escaping the battlefield area are not great.
Wars in the interstellar era are frequent, and some conventional tacit understandings have also been formed within the camp of human civilization, for such officers and soldiers who have lost their combat capability, the warring parties usually do not continue to pursue and attack, and when the battle is decided, they will dispatch rescue fleets to rescue them one by one.
It's just that when the battle is fierce, accidental injuries are inevitable, and those rescue capsules that happen to be on the fire salvo strike route of the Grand Fleet, the only result is that they are evaporated and vaporized into interstellar dust by the terrifying high temperature and high heat, and no trace will be left!
The officers and men who were fortunate enough to live and wait for the rescue to come were basically only a small minority. Based on the calculation of a few dozen or several hundred people in each warship, it is common for a major war to lose more than 100,000 warships and kill millions or tens of millions of people.
This is war!
Qin Feng was at the rear edge of the left flank of the ship formation at the moment, in a mobile interstellar fortress, where the entire Holy Shadow Dragon Mecha Legion was stationed, and once the battle situation reached the stage of hand-to-hand combat, it was the moment when the Mecha Legion and the Polar Star Warrior Order appeared.
In the No. 9 Airport in the fortress, tens of thousands of mechs are already on standby.
"When you go to the battlefield, you will follow me, remember to cooperate with each other, take care of each other, don't be greedy, everyone is an old man from the United Prison, I don't want you to lose here at will."
Qin Feng instructed Mandal, Moredley, Xu Gangyan, Ni Qingye and others in front of him that after he was promoted, these people were now his direct team, so they naturally had to take necessary care.
"Understood, sir!"
Everyone agreed solemnly, the battlefield is not a child's game, life and death are staged anytime and anywhere, no one has a second life, and the consequences of willful chaos are only a dead end.
And after getting along these days, Qin Feng's combat exploits and personal ability and talent have completely convinced them, and no one doubts his ability anymore, so he is extraordinarily cooperative.
After the explanation, everyone entered their respective mechs and stood by, and they could take off at any time after receiving the order to attack.
Although the location of this interstellar fortress is at the rear of the battlefield, no one can say whether it will be attacked by the enemy, and once the fortress is damaged, it depends on luck whether everyone inside can escape. With the protection of the mecha, the chances of survival will naturally be greater.
After inspecting again and confirming that no problems were found, Qin Feng also entered his mecha, as the hatch was closed, the protective armor outside was closed, the energy shield was opened, and then the clear light belonging to the Taiqing Liangyi Bell was filled out, protecting the small control room tightly. In this way, even if the peak Polar Star God will personally attack, he will not want to break through the defense of this platinum mecha.
Ling Yihua, as the commander of the legion, is currently participating in a pre-war military intelligence meeting with other leaders of the mecha legion on the network, and it is not over yet.
Qin Feng's divine thoughts silently extended outward, and in an instant, the entire battlefield situation was displayed in great detail in his mind, and the coordinates and directions of the reserve forces and logistics support fleet in the rear were clearly visible.
"Don't just look around,"
Ship Spirit Yu Lan warned: "Among the top powerhouses on both sides, there are characters with extremely keen perception, and there are some special technical means that may exist, and the probability of being detected by them does exist. ”
"Then it's up to you."
"The panoramic map scanning mode is turned on, which can carry out real-time insight and monitoring of the airspace within a radius of 30,000 light seconds, and consumes 100 million units of origin essence every hour, is it on?"
"Turn on!"
Qin Feng said, with the recovery degree embodied in the starship, after completely analyzing the law system in this time and space, it is no longer a problem to hide the perception ability of those Pole Star Martial Gods.
After a few seconds, a clearer star map appeared in his mind, and it was meticulous down to the movement trajectory of each battleship and each rescue pod, and even the charging speed and firing coordinates of the main guns of all warships and star-fortresses, as long as he wanted, he could perceive it.
"Well, the command and combat level of the large fleets of the two sides is close, and Ling Shuai is slightly superior, but the Mondello Imperial fleet on the opposite side has a better degree of cooperation, and the technical performance of the main battleship is higher, and it also has a slight advantage in numbers, so the result of this important duel is ...... It's hard to say. ”
Qin Feng silently analyzed, when the duel of the Grand Fleet entered the stalemate stage, it was the moment when the strong men of the two sides appeared, and the advantages of the Mondello Empire in this regard were relatively obvious, and the outcome of the victory and defeat could be predicted without major mistakes in command.
If you analyze and compare from the perspective of luck, the Incathian Empire has been in decline, and the Mondello Empire is a period of great national fortune and momentum, combined with the actual situation of the two legions, unless there are major variables, otherwise even if Ling Shuai is lucky enough to win this battle, it can only be regarded as a narrow victory, and the results will not be too big.
"Do you have any suitable suggestions?"
Qin Feng thought about it and asked, standing in his current position, he naturally didn't want Ling Shuai to lose the battle.
"Then let your avatar go out quietly, intervene at some key nodes, you can accumulate advantages for the fleet of the Ingatil Empire, and gradually achieve the effect of affecting the general situation of the battlefield, but the cost is relatively large, maybe your avatar will not be able to come back in the end." Ship Spirit Yu replied.
"It's okay, it's decided."
Qin Feng said disapprenously, he could be reborn after the incarnation fell, it was nothing more than consuming some more origin essence, and he could fully afford it now.
After a few breaths, except for the incarnation that was still pretending to be the identity of Feng Silent Yuan on the opposite side, the remaining eight seemingly nonexistent figures flew out of the interstellar fortress and quietly merged into the void and disappeared.
The Battle of the Grand Fleet in the Void was still in full swing, and a moment later, a detachment of the Mondello Empire, after completing a volley of fire, began to retreat according to the instructions of the superior commander to evade the counterattack fire of the Ingetyrian Imperial fleet, while the main guns of all the warships began to recharge in preparation for the next wave of concentrated fire.
It's just that their reaction was somehow slow for a moment, and the counterattack of the Ingatil Imperial fleet soon came, and tens of thousands of thick death beams poured down, and all the Mondello Imperial warships that were hit by the beams were distorted and collapsed under the fierce attack, and then the hull of the ship silently caught fire and disintegrated, and was reduced to pieces in the explosion.
By the time the strike was over, the 3,000-ship squadron, with nearly one-third of its warships, had been reduced to space junk, and milky white rescue pods could be seen everywhere, floating feebly in the void.
The lieutenant general of the Mondro Empire, who was in charge of this area, frowned slightly, and then ordered the reserve fleet to go up to ensure the integrity of the attack formation, such a mistake was not uncommon in the rapidly changing battlefield, so he was not suspicious.
In a short time, in another area, a certain detachment of the Mondello Empire somehow deviated a little distance when firing a salvo at the intended attack coordinates, so that an Incathian Empire detachment that should have been covered by firepower was lucky to escape, only a few dozen warships were hit, and most of the artillery fire poured from the opposite side fell in the air.
"Phew, you're in luck this time! But there's no next time! ”
The commander of the detachment on the side of the Mondello Empire cursed and began to issue orders.
In areas that are difficult for ordinary people to see, the eight avatars each used the cover of Hongmeng's innate treasure to hide in the depths of the void and silently affect the course of the battle.
This small change did not immediately attract the attention of the command center of the Mondello Empire, but with the accumulation of small variables, the situation on the battlefield began to change subtly.
Nearly an hour later, Marshal Terrence, who was in the core area of the Grand Fleet and was heavily guarded, finally received a report from the team of Heavenly Wise Artists.
"Your Excellency, the situation is not good,"
An old man with a slightly clumsy figure and pale hair frowned and said: "In the past hour, we have destroyed a few warships, and the battle loss ratio with the opposite side has actually reached a gap of two to one, and our losses are still tending to further expand, if we do not take measures to intervene quickly." ”
Marshal Terrence looked grim: "What is the reason?" Do you see the clues? ”
