Chapter 1543: Celtic (2)

Whether it's the sudden appearance of the Apostle drone and the construction of a gravity field to imprison the Loki, or the humiliating behavior of the Seraph's talents, these are all used by the enemy to lure them into the ambush circle.

A warship of this size like the three-headed dog-class pirate capital ship, if it is in motion, will inevitably not be perfectly stealthy, and will definitely show its feet, and will be caught by the reconnaissance ships of the Celtic Guard.

Seemingly...... That kid had expected that they would do something to the Storm Battleship, and deliberately dug a pit for them to jump into.

Since there are pits on the side of the assault fleet, what about the Celtic ships in charge of pinning down the Minotaur-class battlecruisers and Valkyrie frigates on the flank battlefield?

………………

Just as the commander of the assault fleet feared, when the three-headed dog-class pirate capital ship formation broke out of stealth and turned into an attack posture, the flank battlefield was also facing changes.

The Minotaur-class battlecruisers and Valkyrie frigates have been clearing the vicinity of the theater of operations with mines and scattered space-based defenses to expand the attack lanes, providing a suitable combat environment for the full deployment of interstellar system flight units, and providing flanking protection for the storm battleships.

The Celtic Guard dispatched about 1,200 warships, flanking the Stormship's Minotaur-class battlecruisers, Valkyrie frigates, Iron Raven II, Wraiths, and Vikings...... Such a combination of Terran flying units suppresses the entire line, shrinking their range of movement.

1,200 battleships lined up on the opposite side, moving at a considerable speed. Thunder Blade and Thunder Wing air and space fighters from the Cloud Whale class supercarrier and some unmanned fighters travel through the rain of bullets and light.

Terran combat units, led by Minotaur-class battlecruisers, ceased to sweep enemy military installations in the nearby airspace and began to retreat to the rear. This will undoubtedly make the Dreadnought-class Bastion ship even more isolated, exposing the flanks of the Storm Battleship faction.

The deputy commander of the Celtic Guard, Nursdan, did not expect things to go so smoothly until bad news came from the side of the assault fleet.

And then...... He and his soldiers saw the golden battleships that had crossed the retreating Terran flying units to the battlefield. They have a longer size than the Golden Battleship with the Ring hull next to them, and have more elaborate ornaments. In particular, the two battleships flying in the front are longer in size than the warships of the same style in the back, and the workmanship is also higher.

Nursdan didn't know what kind of title these two battleships had, how they differed from the golden battleships in the rear, it was certain that they were not easy to mess with...... It's very hard to mess with.

In the process of pressing forward in the ship formation, the Cloud Whale-class supercarrier released almost all the carrier-based aircraft, like an overwhelming locust surging forward.

This shocking picture did not last long, as the ejection bay of the golden battleship that had just arrived flew out one golden brilliance after another, and the shocking picture constructed by the many Thunder Wings series aerospace fighters rushing to the front line was shattered by the visible force.

Compared to the 18M-level Thunder Wings and Thunder Blade Sky Fighters, these golden drones, which are only a few meters in size, are the real locusts...... No, they are much more flexible than locusts, like a wave of rolling up and down star sand, crossing the battlefield of the two armies, trembling with the full range of Thunder Wings air and space fighters released by the Cloud Whale-class supercarrier and the Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier.

Their speed is too fast, much better than the explosive power of the Viking fighters, and more flexible than the Wraith fighters, the front two interceptors left two lines of silver-white light arrows in the air, pulling upwards, avoiding the Thunder Wings and Thunder Blade Aerospace Fighter formations, and the back two interceptors rotated and flew, shooting out two lines of silver-white light arrows and shifting to the side at the same time, like peeling a banana in the Thunder Blade Aerospace Fighter Formation to create a cluster of explosions, and one after another the Thunder Blade Aerospace Fighters turned into metal fragments, all the way far.

Faced with this situation, Nursdan had to order the Aerospace Fighter Group to abandon the plan to hunt the Minotaur-class battlecruisers and Valkyrie missile frigates, and ordered them to form a formation and engage in a fight with the enemy interceptors.

Compared with the Thunder Wings Aerospace Fighter, the Thunder Blade Aerospace Fighter has a certain degree of flight speed, and the stealth effect is also slightly better. If it is a confrontation between the naval fleets of sovereign countries, there is no doubt that they will have a considerable advantage, but when facing the Star Spirit Aircraft Carrier combat units, these advantages are not visible.

Nursdan stood on the bridge of the Troll, looking at the sparks that were constantly blooming in front of him through the panoramic projection bulkhead, his face gloomy. Because every spark, every flash, means that a Thunderblade Sky Fighter is destroyed by the enemy's light arrows. Those parallel or interlaced silver brilliance, like special effects shots in a movie, are extremely shocking.

Of course, this is not a movie, it is a fact, and Nursdan and the staff below are definitely not in the mood to look at the flashes of light in front of them with appreciative eyes.

With as many as 2 Cloud Whale-class supercarriers and 12 Blue Whale-class carriers, you can imagine how terrifying the number of carrier-based aircraft in the Thunder Wings series is. As the deputy commander of the Celtic Guard, Nursdan is mainly a specialized person who studies and is responsible for the combat plan of aircraft carrier-level warships.

However, at this moment, the carrier-based aircraft cluster that he relied on as an official and was proud of was constantly losing ground like the ebb tide of the sea, and was destroyed by the Star Spirit interceptors surging from the opposite side.

As the Astral Interceptor continued to regain lost ground, the range of movement advanced, and the Minotaur-class battlecruisers, Valkyrie missile frigates, Viking fighters, Ghost fighters, Iron Raven II, Griffin fighters and other Terran combat units followed. In addition, the Phoenix fighter and the Phantom fighter have also entered the battle sequence one after another.

Before, it was advancing on all fronts, but now it is a rout on all fronts.

The entire Thunder Wings series of fighters is constantly shrinking the battle line, and large and medium-sized warships such as the Dragon King Whale-class battleship and the sword-kissing shark-class cruiser cannot form an actual threat to small points like interceptors, and can only make an appearance in the rear front, causing some small troubles that are not on the table for the Star Spirit aircraft carrier and the Minotaur-class battlecruiser in front.

I don't know why, every shelling of a large ship, the enemy always reacts positively, as if predicted, making those powerful weapons useless. Staff officers suspect that the interceptors are equipped with special sensing equipment that can detect energy fluctuations within a certain range.

Nursdan attempts to detonate EMP mines in the nearby airspace, intending to use them to interfere with the Starspirit Interceptor. It is a pity that it has no effect at all, and the front should be routed and defeated, and it should be shrunk and shrunk.

As the interceptors tore apart the battle lines made by the Thunder Wings series fighters, the Mirage fighters, Viking fighters, and Phoenix fighters ...... These opposing warplanes have already come into contact with reconnaissance ships and frigates that are responsible for capturing and transmitting battlefield information in the front, resulting in conflicts and confrontations.

Some Elven Shark-class frigates and Cyclops-class destroyers desperately protected non-combat ships such as hammerhead shark-class command ships from the rear, paying a considerable price for this, and the scars on the hull continued to accumulate, followed by anchor and destruction.

The ship's explosion unleashed an even more dazzling fire, blooming on the panoramic projection wall, illuminating the face of Admiral Nursdan on the Troll's bridge, which looked like a beast on the edge of rage and madness from a certain angle.

He didn't expect that the previous high-flying advance would turn into a rout on all fronts so quickly, and the enemy chose to drive back the military forces under his command in a hard-fought way, making him completely lose his temper.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the Minotaur-class battlecruisers, Valkyrie-class missile frigates, Viking fighters and other Terran military forces use a step-by-step approach to sweep the space-based defense facilities around the theater, otherwise they can use the jump positioning probe to help the Ghost Shark-class special service ships perform short-distance jumps and carry out attack and harass operations against the alien aircraft carriers in front.

Come to think of it, even if the alien ships on the other side have a higher level of technology than the Empire, they can't get rid of the shortcomings of aircraft carrier-level combat units that are not conducive to close combat. Taking a step back, even if the Ghost Shark-class special service fleet is unable to resist the escort forces around the alien aircraft carrier, it can still give its own battleships and cruiser-class warships time to react and calmly deal with the immediate crisis.

Now it's good, counting the storm battleships, the other side has less than a hundred alien warships, but it has brought back nearly 2,000 warships of the Celtic Guard, including the Cloud Whale class supercarrier, which is really ...... It's a shame.

Nursdan didn't know what to do, so he could only passively shrink the defensive line, while trying to connect with Fastford Stewart to discuss the situation in front of him in order to solve the problem.

The connection was in the process of being connected, and he noticed a special situation. Behind those golden aircraft carriers, a glimmer of blue loomed. In terms of hull appearance, they are in the same vein as the Golden Aircraft Carriers, but they are not seen firing from the beginning to the end, and they are only hidden in the rear line of the Minotaur-class battlecruisers and the Golden Aircraft Carrier.

"These blue battleships...... What is it again? ”

As soon as this thought was generated in his mind, a blinding red light crossed the air, and the pilot of the Troll steered the battleship to sink urgently, avoiding the beam of light from the opposite side. However, the Cyclops-class destroyer behind was not so lucky, the starboard side was completely penetrated, blowing out a shocking hole, and the lights behind the portholes were replaced by the flames from the explosion, and destruction was not far off.

Nursdan looked at the airspace ahead with a gloomy face.

The source of the ray was not the fierce Minotaur-class battlecruiser, but one of the two unique aircraft carriers. It's hard to imagine at such a distance...... Not even the Storm Battleship could threaten the Troll's distance, and the unique carrier ahead nearly hit his flagship.

Not to mention whether the Troll will be destroyed by the opponent with a single blow, the range alone makes people fear and tremble. Fortunately, as a relic warship, the Troll is not comparable to ordinary warships in terms of speed and steering ability, and the pilot is a veteran of a hundred battles, and his reaction speed is extremely fast, otherwise the beam would have hit the hull of the ship.

The Troll is a rare commandship-class relic warship, and if it is wounded by enemy fire like this, it will be a big loss for the Celtic Guard.

He looked up at the golden bulkhead that was slowly closing on the other side of the big screen, wrapping the ring track that shot out the beam of destruction in the middle, like an upside-down image of a flower, and a trace of cold sweat slid down his sideburns.

Nursdan looked at the Star Spirit Aircraft Carrier Flagship opposite, and Thrandis in the Star Spirit Aircraft Carrier Flagship was also looking at the Troll on the opposite side, and was a little disappointed when he saw that the other party had just missed a shot.

The Troll was fine, and the Cyclops-class destroyer was destroyed in a single blow, which was no different from missing the target for Thrandis. Of course she was not satisfied, of course she was very unhappy.

As the commander of the Golden Fleet, not even a mere human warship was hit, which can be said to be a humiliation in her military career.

Tassadar's face appeared on the surface of the crystal, and a low admonition sounded along with it: "Don't forget Tang Fang's instructions, you must not take it lightly just because the other party's technology level is low...... I have a hunch that this battle won't end so soon. ”

Thrandis has a tsundere personality, as evidenced by his conversation with Jim Reynolds during the Battle of Wings of Freedom. It's just that...... Her tsundere is divided into objects. Not against Tannis, and even less so against Tassadar.

She withdrew her sharp gaze and said in a humble tone, "Thank you for the reminder, I see." ”

Even if she didn't think much of Tang Fang's entrustment, she didn't dare to go wild in front of Tassadar.

Sarandis's flagship did not continue to pursue the Troll, choosing to wait for the rear aircraft carrier, and slowly pressed forward in a step-by-step manner.

………………

On the left hand side of the Storm Battleship and Dreadnought Commander class fortress ship is a battle formation made of human and god flying units, and on the right hand side and above and below is the stage of the insects.

A large number of flying insects flocked to Celtic orbit, most of them originating from Behemoth, not far from the Storm Battleship faction.

The people who will direct the swarm to launch the tidal offensive will certainly not be Izsha, Zagara, and Abashar. It's Claire.

The reason why she chose Behemoth, which lacked offense, was that Behemoth was larger than the Leviathan and could store more combat units in her body.

In fact, she was not alone in Behemoth's "bridge", and to her right stood the infectious hero Alexei Stukov. Due to various considerations, the Tang side did not have the idea of letting the Alexander and Jörmungad join the battlefield for the time being.

Behind Alexei Stukov, half of the body of Lord Jager Claw was shrunk under the flesh and blood, half of his body was exposed, his eyes were directly looking at the battle picture displayed by the membranous body in front of him, and from time to time he spit out one or two sparks from excitement, but he quickly sucked them back into his mouth, and seemed to be very afraid of Claire.

To be exact, it's not Claire who it fears, it's the Queen of Blades.

At the edge of the solution pool, not far from Jager's Claw, there was a very strange thing, like a mossy crust, with milky white vesicles embedded in it, which kept wriggling over time, like insect cocoons.
