Chapter 686: Armor-Piercing Bullet
"Double! Child! Star! ”
Even if he expected it, seeing the enemies appear in front of him and behind him at the same time, Kloros's face was still a little ugly.
The pirates and the twin stars have joined forces, which is undoubtedly the most unfavorable situation for the Locke consortium.
This means that no matter which side he attacks, he may be constrained by the other, just as his own fleet is now in a disadvantageous position with the enemy on its back......
"Abandon the line of defense, the fleet immediately turns around and withdraws from the flank!" He was also decisive, knowing that he couldn't do anything, and immediately gave up his plan to defend the wormhole.
After giving the order, he quickly looked at the ghost fleet ahead.
"Prepare the Crypt Lord for me!"
……
Kloros's fleet abandoned its entrenched position and began to turn to accelerate, cutting diagonally from the flank of the Ghost Pirates at an angle of 45°.
Seeing that the other party wanted to run, Ishar and Nie Yun tacitly adjusted the fleet formation, always maintaining a flanking attack on Klorus, and at the same time, both sides also sent a large number of carrier-based mechs to begin to clear the wormhole fortifications of the Locke Consortium.
Abandoned by Klorus and attacked from both sides, these extremely threatening semi-permanent fortifications began to be destroyed one after another, and a line of fire ignited in the universe.
Nie Yun and Ishar's goal is clear, that is, to clear these fortifications first!
Without these fortifications, if Klorus wants to make a comeback and regain control of the wormhole, he must re-establish a solid line of defense against the fire of the Gemini.
This is not something that can be done by sending a small fleet.
On the battlefield, the mech units ejected in advance by the Ghost Pirates have begun to engage the enemy's hand-to-hand combat.
However, the Ghost Pirates, who clearly had the advantage in numbers, met an equal opponent this time......
"Khooth!" Blocking a powerful blow from the opposite side, and throwing out an energy blade to temporarily force the enemy back, Spartak's face was solemn.
After only a few encounters, he found that the mecha unit on the opposite side was not easy to deal with.
In the Hammer of Doom mecha regiment, all of them are experienced pilots, but the elite under this Klos team is not an ordinary person, but its combat effectiveness is just as good.
Among them, there are nearly 100 powerful mechs belonging to the Klorus Guard, which brings great pressure to the Ryan warriors.
The Guard, who was currently fighting Spartak, was armed with a dark red mech and wielded a long-handled blade.
This mecha is agile and its armor is extremely thick, and his attributes are obviously a notch stronger than the bronze mecha of the big road.
In addition, the pilots who operate the mecha are also the elite of the Kloros Guard, so one-on-one, Spartak has no upper hand in a short period of time.
But fortunately, your equipment is not as good as others, and you still have an advantage in numbers.
"Lancelot, Tactic Three!"
"Roger! Followme! ”
Lancelot, who was in charge of the response next to him, replied excitedly, and drove the shield to the maximum and rushed forward, followed by Spartacus.
That's right, Spartak's new wingman at this time was none other than Lancelot in the Knights of the Twelve Round Table.
As for the last wingman candidate...... After the death, I was still waiting in line for the seat......
For the sake of fairness, the selection of the Ghost Knights' reserves and the matching of the corresponding comrades are done automatically in strict accordance with the process and related formulas designed by Zhi Brain.
More than 1 billion mech enthusiasts from hundreds of countries around the world, including professional soldiers of the Earth Defense Force, must first achieve impressive results in the virtual battlefield "Civilization Front" before they can earn the title of "Ghost Knights Reserve" and be eligible to participate in the new map-related battles.
For players who have participated in the previous foreign wars and have meritorious deeds, the system will increase the corresponding screening coefficient according to the specific merit points to increase the probability of being "shortlisted".
After joining a campaign, the system will also downgrade or promote it based on the specific performance of each campaign and the specific evaluation of the Lane allies.
As a result, players who don't perform well will end up being matched with low-level fighters as comrades, or even eliminated.
And those who perform well will be able to match stronger Ryan warriors and even officers in the next battle, and get more resource tilt.
Of course, if you look at each other and cooperate with a pair that is indeed quite tacit, with the consent of both parties, you can also apply to the system for "righteousness", that is, to form a fixed comrade-in-arms and enter the palace of happiness of good friends together......
Under this screening mechanism, Lancelot, who has a very high level of pilots and has won a lot of feats in the previous battles, was lucky to match Spartacus, a "gold-level NPC", in this battle.
The Knights of the Round Table naturally attached great importance to this opportunity, and spared no expense to give Lancelot's mecha a lot of kryptonite, and added a lot of powerful plug-ins.
On the battlefield at this moment, Lancelot is holding a giant alloy shield in front, and Spartak is close behind, like a hidden sword ready to attack!
The two are like figure skaters dancing together, dodging oncoming attacks while quickly approaching the opposing enemy.
At the moment when the two sides were about to collide, the opponent's eyes were blurred, but the two figures were suddenly separated.
Taking advantage of the moment when the other party was stunned, Spartak and Lancelot stabbed at the enemy with two sharply angled attacks, one left and one right.
The enemy plane was obviously invincible with two fists and four hands, so it could only choose to raise its blade to block Spartak's slash.
However, as Lancelot excitedly watched as his attack got closer and closer......
"Bang!" With a bang, the muzzle of the enemy's blade flashed violently, and a reddish fighting bullet suddenly shot at Lancelot.
The strengthened force field shield was only a moment's stalemate before being pierced by this special bullet that was spinning at high speed.
The castration of the projectile hits instantly.
In a daze, Lancelot, who only had time to twist his body slightly, suddenly blasted out a large hole in his left arm holding the shield, and the mecha parts flew in all directions, leaving his entire arm!
"Not good! It's an 'armor-piercing' bomb! Lancelot and Spartak exclaimed at the same time.
The "armor-piercing" bullet is one of the high-end scientific and technological achievements of the Woolf Empire.
For example, Gemini's high-end mecha "Sea Storm Class", which is equipped with a giant "Ship Chopper", has applied the armor-piercing technology of Gemini's research.
And the Woolf Empire has undoubtedly taken another solid step on the road to the miniaturization of armor-piercing weapons, and has applied it to the scale of physical projectiles.
If Flint's legendary mecha "Dark Magic" uses highly compressed energy projectiles to cause a penetrating effect by breaking the surface, then this armor-piercing projectile counteracts the defensive force field through a special force field generated by high-speed rotation, so as to achieve the purpose of breaking defense.
It's just that the biggest disadvantage of this special bullet is that it ...... "precious"!
Expensive, which means that it is made of special materials and is extremely difficult to manufacture, resulting in high costs and inability to equip conventional armies on a large scale.
Fine, refers to the fact that the bullet has a rather delicate and complex energy circuit, so it is quite squeamish and cannot be fired with an electromagnetic weapon at all.
Because of the powerful instantaneous electromagnetic field, it will destroy the armor-piercing effect of the projectile in an instant.
Therefore, this kind of armor-piercing bullet can only be fired in the traditional way of chemical energy, such as the blade used by the opponent.
On a cosmic scale, projectiles fired by traditional chemical energy are not even medium-range weapons, and they are extremely slow, at most they can only be used as short-range combat bullets.
In terms of range, rate of fire, and power, it is far from being comparable to the crystallized energy projectile fired by the "Black Devil".
However, even if there are shortcomings of one kind or another, they cannot hide the power of this weapon.
For example, the opponent's sudden combat bullets shot during hand-to-hand combat are extremely threatening, and there is a sense of déjà vu in some gun fighting.
An arm was broken by a sudden armor-piercing attack, and seeing that the opponent's mouth was aimed at Spartak again, intentionally or unintentionally, Lancelot's heart suddenly panicked!
If this guy dies, I'm afraid that his merits will have to be deducted as a negative number?
He didn't have time to think about it, he instinctively ravaged up, and while his right arm blade was blocked, he barely used his body to block the opponent's trajectory.
The enemy pilot was stunned for a moment.
This mecha shield has been broken by an armor-piercing bullet, and taking the initiative to meet it at this time is no different from sending it to death.
The spirit of sacrifice was admirable, but he did not hesitate to do so.
"Snort~" Lancelot's expected armor-piercing bullet did not arrive, but instead a cold light flashed, and his mecha's right arm flew high again.
In the eyes of the enemy pilots, this mech has been reduced to a human stick, and even if it has not been destroyed, it has completely lost its threat, and it is not worth wasting a precious armor-piercing bullet.
Although Spartak wanted to take advantage of the previous opportunity to attack, the experienced enemy pilot always locked the blade faintly on him, and there was no flaw at all.
A few painless ranged attacks only dimmed the opponent's shield a little.
He could only cover Lancelot temporarily out of the opponent's attack range by means of non-stop attacks.
Spartacus's face was extremely solemn at this time.
Is this the top elite of the Locke Consortium?
All along, he was either facing the weaker Gemini Star or the Spartacus who was abusive among the Shattered Star Pirates, and it was only at this moment that he finally understood the strength of the Woolf Empire.
At the same time, I also understood the old patriarch's sigh of "you don't understand" at that time.
However, there was not much time left for Spartak to sigh, and the opponent's mecha was already rushing towards him.
The two sides soon started a new round of hand-to-hand combat, but the blade that did not fire always brought Spartak a strong sense of oppression, so that he was restrained in the fight and quickly fell into disadvantage.
Lancelot on the side was in a hurry, but he was powerless to intervene in the battle above him with even the loss of his weapon.
"Damn! Fortunately, the head of the regiment prepared a killer plan for me in advance! ”
Seeing that Spartak was about to lose, Lancelot's eyes turned fierce, and the mecha core on his chest began to glow red!
Spartakus, who was in the middle of a battle, suddenly heard a loud shout in his ears.
"Dude, get out of the way!"
Spartak's heart jumped, and he immediately fought hard to get away from the enemy plane.
Before the other pilot's understanding of what was happening, there was an alarm on the radar behind him, and he quickly turned around and waved his arms!
"Whew!" The blade entered the body, and Lancelot's entire mecha was directly strung on the blade.
However, Lancelot, who was completely scrapped by the mecha, sneered, "Hey! Take away an elite monster, this wave is not a loss! ”
"Boom!"
The next moment, a huge ball of bright fire appeared on the battlefield.
Spartak's body shield flickered, and it was blown out hundreds of meters by the energy storm before it could stabilize its body.
Looking at the center of the explosion, where there was nothing left, Spartak couldn't help but be speechless.
This equivalent ...... Damage overflowed ......
