It was a group of more than forty large and small ships, which could be regarded as quite a large military in this distant nebula. It's just that, like almost all pirate groups, their ships are all covered with uneven modifications, and the ship type, firepower, protection, and speed are very inconsistent, so it is naturally impossible to eliminate any too strict and strong queues.

In addition, we all know that pirates have always been designed to rob rather than sink, and their armament has always adhered to the classic combination of gold balm. The speed must be fast, otherwise the navy will not be able to catch up with the prey, but the pirates will not be able to get the best military engine, so they will have to find a way to modify it randomly. The firepower can't be too strong, and if you accidentally sink the prey, you'll be in vain. A real man who can jump to fight hand-to-hand combat also has to bring enough, after all, when you have to rob, you need manpower. In addition, warehouses must also be prepared, and some warehouses are even designed to be more professional than cargo ships. After all, there's no guarantee that you won't grab some of the most expensive loot that needs to be served.

In short, purely in terms of combat effectiveness, pirate ships are typical and sparse.

Of course, there may be exceptions to this. For example, the flagship of this pirate fleet is a very sinister ship, more than a lap larger than the Thirteenth Fleet's largest Ranger. The livery is pure black, and the bow of the ship has sixteen main gun muzzles, which looks quite bold.

However, if you look closely, the hull of that ship is a bit thin, and it always looks top-heavy. Yu Lian even suspected that once the sixteen main guns fired a salvo, the hull would fall apart.

"It should have been converted from the Alliance's Icewind Dale-class large armed merchant ships." Akinayama Hachiman looked at the image of the ship that had been sent, and then pointed to the sign of a triangular skeleton on the side of the ship: "It's confirmed, it's the main fleet of Moda!" ”

"This is here for revenge, right?" Ina muttered.

Eleanor sneered and said, "If he gathers in Kerna City, I still have a little headache." ”

Senior Sister's strength should only be one-third of the other party's, but she didn't find it tricky at all, and even felt lucky. Glad that the other party came to the door to deliver the head.

The pirates of the Nebula on the far shore are really incomparable to those of the New World! Senpai thought.

The pirates of the Far Shore Nebula can't be compared with the Abyssal Nebula and the Spiral Nebula! Yu Lian thought.

There are a lot of ships on the other side, but no matter how you look at it, they are all a bunch of rabble, which is really unmotivating.

"Colonel Bonaparte, old rules, the command is handed over to you. You can use the old man as an aircraft carrier captain. Brigadier General Maklov sent a message, still surprisingly free.

However, before disconnecting the communication, he added: "Don't be underestimated!" ”

Prudence and steadiness are probably the nature of the elderly. However, his reminder was not completely useless, at least Eleanor was a minute ahead of her and began to give orders in an orderly manner: "According to the original plan, start the battle formation!" Analyze the dynamics of the enemy fleet! ”

This time, the fleet, with Corsica and Luoyang as the main attackers, began to advance. The destroyers spread out on either side of them, opening the exit for torpedoes and missiles. The assault ships opened up the line of arrows and made preparations to outflank the assault.

The Fog and Venice remain on standby. Of course, all the fighters in the Fog were ready to attack, but the commander of the fleet was not prepared to let the "stormtroopers" in the Venice go out this time.

Isn't it just a pirate, if you are really forced to the point where you have to fight and fight, then Eleanor's command is on the wrong hand.

The fleets of the two sides are still approaching, and in the starry sky, there is a little taste of a narrow road encounter. It's just that compared to the well-organized Thirteenth Fleet, the pirates over there are always a bit chaotic.

There is no way, the pirates have always been in groups of three or five like hunting hyenas, walking around the corners of the nebula, and basically have no experience in the battle of the Grand Fleet.

However, since it was an artillery battle formation, the other side did not let the flagship, which was quite fierce at a glance, come to the front line, but let seven or eight battleships that were very solid at a glance be lined up, putting on a defensive counterattack.

"Tsk, coward!" The senior sister, who always likes to rush to the front row, expressed full disdain for this behavior.

"It's understandable, too. The boss of the pirate group is not a general who orders and prohibits, nor does he bring well-trained regular soldiers, but more like the leader of an alliance of outlaws. His ship, his die-hard strength, is the basis for whether he can gather mountains and forests. Yu Lian said: "In addition, with the quality of a pirate, it is already good to be able to put on a defensive counterattack formation." It cannot be expected that they will really have the ability to engage us head-on. ”

Senior Sister nodded, then felt that something was wrong, and said loudly: "...... Period, expectation, I didn't look forward to it! Yuli, don't tarnish people's innocence out of thin air! ”

She probably wanted to sneer at each other a few times, but she heard a cough behind her, and then vaguely felt that the camera of the automatic drone had been aimed at her back, and suddenly coughed seriously: "Orbital main gun charging state?" ”

"In good condition!" Ina replied aloud with a roll of her eyes. Anyway, her little face is facing the dashboard now, and no one can see the expression.

"Then, the old rule, after entering the maximum tactical range, start shooting at the enemy's No. 1 ship! Don't wait for my orders! ”

The high-powered railgun equipped on the two Rangers is far superior in power and effective range to the pirate fleet, and it is destined to have an advantage in the artillery battle stage. After three shelling shots, they accurately hit the so-called "enemy ship No. 1" for the fourth time.

The fat-headed, big-eared armoured merchant ship was not particularly badly damaged, but it seemed to have been struck by lightning and stopped on the spot.

Immediately afterward, Ina fired another shot, this time indeed penetrating the enemy ship's armor and entering its interior.

The pirate ship was like a stray dog that had been kicked in the stomach, and it turned around and left the battlefield directly.

And until this time, the fleet on the side of the pirates had not even completed the shelling.

"Moda's men don't have much fighting spirit!" Akinayama Hachiman said, "You can try to be a little more proactive." ”

The senior sister continued to be good, and even when she ordered to change the formation.

The Fog and Venice began to move forward. These two ships are strengthened with hangars and protection, but after all, they are multipurpose cruisers, and at least the main guns are also available. The four cruisers were arranged in a standard artillery formation, taking turns firing a salvo, which on the one hand increased the fire projection against the enemy fleet, and on the other hand, it was also a kind of fire cover.

The target of cover, naturally, is the destroyers.

Without any hesitation, the five destroyers went straight to the charge speed. The soldiers on board have been so brave lately that they have even rushed past the Imperial warships, and now they are not afraid of the fire of the pirates.

Moreover, Akinayama Hachiman's judgment was also correct. Although the size of this pirate fleet was large, the fighting spirit was really not very good, and the firepower used for counterattacks always seemed a little careless, and when the destroyers were pressing, there was even obvious confusion. As a result, the only two destroyers of the 13th Fleet were swept by the beam and suffered a little minor damage, but they finally succeeded in smashing the dense group of missiles and torpedoes into the enemy ship group.

One of the pirates had an enemy ship directly hit three torpedoes and five missiles, and it didn't work on the spot. At the same time, at least four enemy ships were confirmed to have been hit and received considerable damage.

They clearly did not have a unified command, or rather, they were not willing to follow Moda's orders at all. Some ships wanted to fight back, some wanted to retreat, and some even wanted to escape.

As a result, for five minutes, the pirate fleet did not give a single effective shot to the Community fleet, which had already come into their range. The current shelling was not so much a counterattack as the pirates felt that "it would be very shameless if they didn't fire the cannons", so they simply went about their routine.

"It's not just that there is no fighting spirit, it's just friendship standing on the street!" Yu Lian thought.

He knew the pirates' mentality too well, and he quickly guessed the current situation.

The people sent out by Moda were wiped out in the Runa system, and at the same time, they also received the news that the empire they worked closely with had suffered a big loss, and their main customers, the Lumina rebels, were basically dead.

If Moda, a great pirate, does not show some courage to take revenge, he will definitely be treated as a soft persimmon by his half-hearted men. However, the most combative are also the pirate leaders at both ends of this group of snakes and rats.

They only know that the Thirteenth Fleet has beaten even the Empire, and beating them up is not just a sprinkling of water?

I have to say, it's really hard to get a moda. Therefore, being the boss is actually a technical job, and you really can't force it casually if you don't have the level of this aspect.

Of course, at this juncture, even the oldest and most serious Brigadier General Maklov will know that at this stage of the war, his own victory is unshakable.

"Your Excellency, you can prepare the fighter plane to take off."

"What about the assault landing craft on the Venice?"

"There's no need to take any chances." Eleanor replied.

Brigadier General Maklov nodded with an approving look and vomited.

In the next three minutes, the cruisers of the Thirteenth Fleet had several rounds of artillery bombardment, and after sinking two large pirate warships again, the rest of the small and medium-sized ships were immediately in a state of rout, and then they were blocked by the rushing assault ships, driving them to the center of the pirate fleet, forcing them into an even more chaotic state.

In fact, in this battle, Moda's only chance is to win this battle with his core diehards as the main force. It's a pity, pirates are pirates, destined to be a bunch of forgetful and lifeless masters.

There was nothing to see in this battle, and Yu Lian decided to apply to the senior sister to leave the bridge and go to sleep. He estimated that after this battle, it should be the siege of the Kerna fortress, and he should still recuperate.

However, at this moment, the pirate warship on the opposite side, which had not participated in the battle, suddenly started and began to move forward. After all, its size is there, and once it runs, it really has a few imposing flavors.

Oh oh oh, are you finally going to do it yourself? Yu Lian was immediately impressed by Moda. Although this guy was very crotch-pulling just now, at least, at the moment of crisis, he still showed a little bit of the courage of a great pirate.

Just as the bloated pirate ship was about to enter the range, a string of light signals suddenly sounded on the ship, and then a pure white light curtain with an astonishing area was opened.

"Oh, the French flag!" Yu Lian was amazed.

Eleanor glared at Yu Lian viciously, squinted and read the light signal from the other party, and was a little incredulous for a while: "Surrendered?" ”

"Yes, it's a surrender signal." Yawata nudged his eyes.

"Sir, the enemy ship has sent a communication application, it is blue, and it is indeed a surrender signal." The Communications Officer also spoke loudly.

It's not easy! They were waving the "white flag" and the "flag language" and sending communications, as if they were afraid that we would send them away with a single shot.

Yu Lian was still in awe of Mr. Moda. He had always felt that a great pirate who had done all the bad things could now kneel so openly, in a sense, more courageous than him fighting to the death.

He really wanted to see how sacred the other party was. A Lumina who "resettled" has become a great pirate, and he is still one of the underworld chieftains of the distant nebula, and he really shouldn't be a simple person.

However, it was not Moda who connected to the communication, but a middle-aged human male.

"Don't fire! Ms. General, your own people! The human waved his hand loudly.

He then bent down again, and in the eyes of everyone, he picked up the head of a bloody triangular lumina: "Moda's words have already killed him below." He sincerely took refuge in the government. ”
