Chapter 1537: Luring the Enemy Deeper

Now the question they face is whether to move forward and fight the Fire Glass in close quarters, or give up attacking the Fire Glass and return fire to the Morning Star Forge battleship cluster led by the Andromeda-class battleship in front. In any case, the three patrol fleets were already encircling the enemy ships.

Soon after such thoughts were formed in my mind, that shallow sense of superiority was replaced by horror.

At some point, strange warships appeared behind the butts of the two fleets, and they cut in at a tricky angle under the leadership of a kind of battleship in the style of a Minotaur-class battlecruiser, and launched a fierce attack on their own warships.

At the same time, the Andromeda-class battleships, led by ships, turned their guns and opened a line against the enemy behind them. Not to mention the patrol fleet that was half-crippled in front of it, just to say that the two fleets that flanked the Fire Glass were still hunters one moment, and they became prey the next.

At this point, they also understood that the Fire Glass was not at all a bare-bones commander lacking frigates, but a bait used to lure prey to the bait.

The generals of the military department wanted to encircle the enemy and implement the operational concept of shooting people first and horses first, and capturing thieves and capturing kings first. As a result, in the end, it was himself who was trapped. That's a ...... Loading X is not the opposite**.

On the three-headed dog-class pirate capital ship of the Bag Jacket Patrol, Krisugad stood in front of the command podium with his arms crossed, looking at the enemy ships that were constantly burning and exploding under his own artillery fire with some gloomy eyes, and there was not much joy on his face.

He is such a gloomy person, and the staff below have long been used to it.

Directly opposite, in another fleet of Lyra-class battleships and three-headed dog-class pirate capital ships, Grandini stared at the big screen with a flushed face, and constantly instructed his men to shoot at the targets in front of him.

He's completely different from Krisugad, he's excited, he's excited.

If you think about it, it's no wonder he behaved like this, how many years the Garcia rebels have waited for this day, how many years they have worked hard, and now the goal is close at hand, Colclough I, the butcher, is sitting on the black throne in Celtic Klimt Palace, today is a very special day for any Garcia rebel leader.

The Coloradi-Princes patrol faces the Pyrolia, but is powerless to break through the shield, and is sniped from the Lyra-class special service ship and the three-headed dog-class pirate capital ship.

The exploding hull set fire in the airspace near the Flame Glass, and the Monya Navymen scurried around like headless flies, not knowing what to do to change their situation.

In front of the group of ships led by the Andromeda-class battleship, the commander of another patrol fleet who was crippled stared blankly at the cruel scene ahead, the attack of the battleship under his command was so weak, and the tail flame shot from the propellers of the Kirin-class frigate and the Perseus-class destroyer was like the saliva of the devil, laughing at their incompetence.

Finished...... Nearly 300 warships were pushed into the abyss of destruction by an enemy force of less than half their own.

In fact, the combination of Kudelia, Tang Lin, Krisugad, and Grandini is just one of the many warzone protagonists of the Celtic star system's first warp interception network.

In another piece of airspace tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Fire Glass, on the bridge of the Hades-class aircraft carrier, Ruskin and Yasin Nicholas stood in front of the electronic sand table, quietly watching the situation change.

The Hades-class aircraft carrier faces the warp speed interception net, and the hull of the ship is neatly arranged with a very thin looking diamond crystal shield, resisting all kinds of projectiles and rays from space-based defense platforms.

While defending, laser cannons and projectile batteries scattered throughout the hull constantly fired light and fire, sniping at air and space fighters trying to get close to the hull.

On the opposite side of the Hades-class aircraft carrier, in addition to the space-based facilities covered by the flames of war, there is also a Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier that is difficult to see, and those space-based fighters that have been inserted in the seams originate from this.

The diamond crystal shield of the Hades-class aircraft carrier seems to be thin, but in fact it is very resistant, and the frigate group that accompanied the Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier to the battlefield just now tried to rush up and sink the reckless mothership that used itself as a shield to protect the rear carrier-based ships in a concentrated manner, but at this moment they have been dismembered into pieces of metal wreckage by the Pluto-class destroyers and Cerberus-class missile frigates, and disappeared into the dark and cold cosmic void with the traces of war.

It was against this background that the Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier withdrew to the rear of the battle formation to act as a shrinking turtle, relying on the artillery fire of air-space fighters and space-based defense platforms to contain the Hades-class aircraft carrier and make every effort to maintain the current situation.

It's a pity that no matter how much it insisted, no matter how hard the lieutenant admiral on the bridge roared, it couldn't stop the rapid attrition of the air and space fighters, and it was powerless to slow down the collapse of the front, let alone turn the tide and rewrite the situation.

It was an aircraft carrier and its escort group, and it was gone, less than an hour.

Flanked by 18 bat-class destroyers, the Rhomboid shield creates a polyhedral energy barrier around the hull, and attacks from enemy units cannot deal substantial damage.

The Moth-class aerospace fighters they carried were entangled in the void with the aerospace fighters from the Blue Whale-class aircraft carriers, and the honeycomb laser emitters were constantly rotating, bursting out with dazzling brilliance.

The air and space fighters of the Mengya Empire continued to explode, and the flames continued to expand, like boiling water, gurgling and gurgling.

The Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier under the command of Prince Coloradi's regiment is naturally not comparable to the Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier of the local lord's fleet, and its carrying capacity is 20% more than the ordinary Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier.

Fang Cai's warships have rapidly decreased, and now the number of air-space fighters and space-based defense platforms has decreased sharply.

Behind the Hades-class aircraft carrier, the missile launch system carried by the Cerberus-class missile frigate was raging, and one after another Jumbo missiles left the missile bay and pounced on the front line where the warp interception equipment was located with extremely faint firelight.

A faint flash does not mean that the missile has little thrust and is slow, but rather fast...... At least it's much faster than the missile launchers fired by the Celtic star system's defenses. Low-energy radiation means less chance of being detected by enemy radar and is more threatening.

The Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier began to retreat, because the fast-pressing Stygian Bat-class destroyer had almost destroyed the front-line defenses, and it could only be destroyed if it stayed any longer.

The captain underestimated the explosive power of the Jumbo missiles, and when they crossed the defense line constructed by the remnants of space-based facilities, the originally faint fireworks suddenly erupted, and in the blinding blue light, the Jumbo missiles rushed through the gaps in the wreckage.

The remaining high-speed turrets captured the energy radiation of the Jumbo missile, and rained down patches of light under the guidance of the computer. These extremely penetrating arrows cannot bring devastating damage to the Big Mac missile, because like the Hades-class aircraft carrier and the Pluto-class destroyer, the surface shield launcher of the Big Mac missile is activated, and a miniature version of the diamond crystal shield is formed, like a rain of projectiles are all blocked, only creating dark spots.

The bridge of the Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier was already filled with red light, and the faces of the generals had different expressions, but they were mostly fearful.

With the speed and reaction power of aircraft carrier-class units, of course, it is impossible to be faster than missiles.

They watched as the pitch-black warheads wrapped in a diamond-shaped energy barrier got closer and closer, growing larger and larger in the big screen and pupils, and finally turned into black shadows and disappeared, followed by dazzling light and fire and turbulent hulls.

The Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier is nearly 700 meters long, and the Jumbo missile, as a heavy missile, cannot be destroyed in one hit. However, when the continuous sparks bloomed on the ship's strings, large clouds of debris were thrown outside, and the severely deformed ship's interior continued to flicker, and flames rose outward from the hole.

The wreckage of the Thunder Wings II Aerospace Fighter distorted by the force of the explosion rolled outward with the rain of fragments, and the flames converged and surged in the portholes for a while, and the light shone in all directions.

No one escaped, from the engine room maintenance workers to the bridge commanders, who were either consumed by the flames from the explosion or became frozen corpses in the void.

The flames from the tail thrusters of the Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier faded away, drifting in the opposite direction of the rain of debris like floating garbage, and occasionally the flickering fire swelled in the combustible facilities, becoming a little bit of light in the void.

No one knew that the general on the bridge of the Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier had laughed in the turmoil and darkness for a short time, and then his body was torn apart by the explosion that tore through the ship's hull, turning him into pieces of broken flesh.

It was not a tragic smile in the face of death, nor a bitter smile in love, it was a smile with relief and relief.

The Hades-class aircraft carrier and its Stygian-class destroyers and Cerberus-class missile frigates focused their attention on the battle line where the interception equipment was located, first defeating the escort ships of the Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier, and then clearing the air and space fighters in the theater of operations, and then destroying the Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier.

The successive victories dazzled the people of the Morning Star Forge, who only noticed the front line and the enemy combat units around them, and did not expect that several drones would bypass the battlefield and detour to the rear area of the Hades-class aircraft carrier to become something similar to a warp probe.

Of course, it wasn't a warp probe, in fact it was a jump positioning system.

As the Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier sank into the void, one warship after another appeared behind the Hades-class aircraft carrier and the Cerberus-class missile frigate group. It was a fleet of reinforcements from the Prince of Colorady's regiment.

The ships used in this fleet are different from the Sword-Kissed Shark-class cruisers, one-eyed shark-class destroyers, and Elven shark-class frigates that are installed in the patrol fleet, but are modified Ghost Shark-class special service ships. The surface of the hull is lined with eye-like parts that help them pinpoint the location of the signal source, allowing them to make short and precise jumps.

In the past, this kind of ability only appeared on relic battleship-level battleships such as the Rubik's Cube Battleship and the Fallen Angel. But the Rapid Reaction Guard under the command of Prince Colorady can do something similar with the help of positioning drones...... This kind of positioning UAV is widely distributed in some large ships of the Celtic Star System Navy, and has a very powerful stealth ability to guide the rapid reaction guard to carry out accurate cluster jumps, and then form a strategic advantage, seize the enemy's loopholes in deployment and arrangement, and complete its work in one battle, and cooperate with front-line combat units to defeat the enemy.

The Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier made its final contribution before its destruction------ opening a shortcut to victory for the Rapid Reaction Guard. Have them appear in the Underworld-class aircraft carrier near zone.

Whether it is a Cerberus-class missile frigate or an Hades-class aircraft carrier, from the beginning of the battle to the present, the shield on one side of the hull is activated to resist various projectiles and rays fired from the opposite side.

This inevitably gave the Monya Imperial Navy the illusion that the Hades-class aircraft carriers and Cerberus-class frigates were limited by the performance of their hulls and could only activate one side of the shield, and could not construct a fully enclosed shield covering the hull like the Hades-class destroyers.

With the Stygian Bat-class destroyers located on both flanks of the battle formation, as long as the rapid reaction guards appear in the near area of the core of the enemy formation, it is conceivable what will happen next.

That's what the people at the command center of the first warp interception network thought...... Judging from the intelligence gathered at the scene, it is understandable to have such thoughts. Cerberus-class missile frigates really have no way to construct a fully enclosed shield, and they will inevitably be caught off guard by the enemy who suddenly appears in the near zone.

The generals of the Monya Empire thought that this would deal a heavy blow to the Hades-class aircraft carriers and their battle groups, but like the battle in the area where the Fire Glass was located, they were greeted with another resounding slap in the face, but they did not fall into the trap of the Morning Star Forge combatants again.

Ruskin and Arsene Nicholas really didn't expect the Prince of Colorady to have such a rapid reaction force capable of performing precision jumps, at least in this respect, comparable to the Epsilon Relic Battleship, whose appearance posed a serious threat to the Cerberus-class missile frigates.

When the artillery fire from the Ghost Shark-class special service ship caused a cosmic impact on the side of the Cerberus-class missile frigate, shattering the energy barrier that had just changed its position, the energy system of the Hades-class aircraft carrier also began to alarm, because the time was urgent, and the shield facing the rear was attacked by the enemy before it was properly constructed, which put a lot of pressure on the battleship.

The situation outside can be said to be very urgent, but Ruskin's face is very strange.

Arsene Nicholas glanced at him and said something inexplicable: "That gentleman...... It's late. ”

"I thought scientists were rigorous and calm people," Ruskin said. ”

Arsene Nicholas said: "That's the right job! ”

Ruskin said, "Isn't it work now? ”

"It's different, just like for you and me this war is work, for Nehemiah and Grant and others it's feelings...... No, the word feelings is a bit thin, and it should be more appropriate to describe it as ideal. ”

At this time, Stephen Sue's face appeared on the big screen, squeezing out a battle image: "What are you two waiting for?" If this continues, the enemy will inflict substantial damage on the fleet. ”

Stephen Sue wasn't on the bridge of the Hades-class carrier, it was flanking a Stygian-class destroyer. In the words of the deputy head of the regiment, he is a true hero who takes the lead, not a sissy who hides behind and is used to pointing.
