July 5, morning.

Near Neptune's orbit.

The detachments of the Graceful Gentlemen's Legion began to engage the Reaper Empress fleet one after another.

The Artemisian fleet was the first of the seven detachments to engage the battle.

Fleet commander Artemisia, in the history of the fortress island world, she was the commander of the navy of the Persian kingdom, and she was the main culprit who instigated Xerxes, the king of the kings of Persia, to send troops to attack Greece. Known for his ruthlessness and ruthlessness.

The last time Dylan's Legion of Elegant Gentlemen was on an urgent mission, the fleet commander who was killed by the Iron Maiden's raid was Artemisia, and she desperately needed a victory to prove herself.

Artemisia has her own perspective on space fleet warfare, she always treats spherical space fighters as arrows that can be consumed, and her tactics always revolve around space warships of all sizes. In her eyes, as long as all the enemy's space warships are killed, then the enemy's remaining space fighters will fall apart like rootless trees in an instant.

If Li Yi knew her thoughts, he would definitely teach her a good lesson with mobile armor. Let her know not to take bean bags for dry food, and if the carrier-based aircraft is used well, it can also make the space battleship an iron coffin.

Dylan's Legion of Elegant Gentlemen has completely absorbed the technology of the White Ball Civilization, and has a complete Level 3 Civilization Energy Weapon Technology, with a weapon range several times that of the Reaper Civilization.

As soon as the battle began, Artemisia made a posture of forcing a breakthrough with the entire fleet of arrows, intending to directly destroy the Reaper Empress's mothership.

She gathered five 100-kilometer-level spherical cosmic fortresses together as arrows, and 50 50-kilometer-level ellipsoidal cosmic carriers were distributed on both sides of the array as arrow blades, wrapping all the kilometer-level ellipsoidal cosmic battleships and ten-meter-level spherical cosmic fighters forward, regardless of the reaper queen mothership.

The spherical cosmic fortress's giant and large main-cannon-grade laser weapon turrets are the first to fire, beams of high-energy lasers creating various explosions in the Reaper Empress fleet array.

As for the oncoming Reaper swarm, Artemisia never took these flies into his eyes, and the medium and small sub-class laser weapon turrets in the fleet naturally dealt with them.

After the ellipsoidal mothership at the edge of the arrow came into range, it also began to project gun-level firepower to the Reaper Empress fleet array surrounding on both sides.

Under the orders of the Reaper Empress, the Reaper Empress fleet array withstood huge casualties and continued to approach the front arrow formation of the Artemisian fleet.

After the two fleets came into close contact, the Reaper Empress fleet array was finally able to smash the plasma energy ball towards the Artemisian fleet.

The spherical cosmic fortress and the ellipsoidal cosmic mothership rotated forward, and circles of green energy ripples continued to spread in different positions of the energy shield, making it impossible for the Reaper Empress fleet's attacks to gather fire and penetrate the energy shield with a single click.

The ellipsoidal mothership's energy shield did not reach the thickness of a spherical cosmic fortress, and even if the damage was shared by rotation, it was not long before the ellipsoidal mothership was injured by the breakdown of the energy shield.

At this time, the thousand-meter-level ellipsoid space battleship hiding in the blade array will go out without hesitation to block the damage of the ellipsoid space carrier's energy shield.

Before the ellipsoidal spaceship does not repair the energy shield, these thousand-meter-level ellipsoidal spaceships that block guns will definitely not take a step back, and they will use their lives to buy time for the repair of the energy shield.

Dylan rubbed his temples as he watched the battle, "Artemisia, why are you doing this?" "It's not that he feels sorry for the destroyed battleship, he just doesn't want his women to put too much pressure.

Chief Peng and Minister Qi whispered to each other analyzing the battle situation, and they finally understood why many space warships were designed to be spherical or ellipsoidal, and this method of relying on rotation to distribute damage to the energy shield was indeed worth learning from Shenzhou. However, the two also questioned the use of Artemisia's spherical space fighter, which was completely a waste of using aircraft carriers to fight battleship-level artillery battles during the Earth Naval War.

Artemisia accidentally let a "Destroyer"-class space battleship fly out of the array, buying time for the shield repair of the nearby ellipsoid space carrier.

When she found out that the sky-high price of 6 billion war coins was being set on fire by a nearby Reaper battleship, she had already sentenced the destroyer to death in her heart. She gave up her plan to transfer the sky-high ship back to the array, and continued to command the other ellipsoid warships to go out of battle to buy time for the ellipsoid spaceship to repair the shield.

When she noticed the battle situation here again, she found that this "Destroyer"-class space battleship had actually survived the repair time of the ellipsoidal space mothership's energy shield. And it also opened full firepower, sweeping away the nearby Reaper fighters besieging it, not to mention, the nearby Reaper warships were also smashed to pieces by it in turn.

She temporarily handed over command to her lieutenant, and spent some time focusing on the Destroyer's shield status. Finally discovered the characteristics of the thick shield of the "Destroyer"-class space battleship, so the 5 "Destroyer"-class space battleships under her command were all sent out to buy time for the shield repair of the ellipsoidal space mothership, becoming 5 independent firepower points outside the front arrow array.

Artemisia was in a good mood and sent the combat video of the "Destroyer"-class space battleship to the other six sisters who were going to engage in the battle, "Sisters, the new 'Destroyer'-class space battleship is very useful. Several other detachment commanders replied to her one after another, "Roger, thank you." ”

The Artemisian fleet's front line continued to advance, quickly cutting the Reaper fleet array in two.

The Reaper Empress, who was playing against her, was forced to make her Empress's mothership brake to a halt and began to retreat slowly. She had to reduce the number of defending fleets inside the mothership, sending reinforcements to support the front.

Artemisia has achieved its tactical goal, and the internal defenses of the Reaper Queen Mothership have been emptied.

Dylan's message came: "Artemisia, come back safely. ”

Artemisia looked at the information and raised the corners of her mouth, and began to adjust the direction of the Blade Array, and re-blocked in front of the Reaper Empress fleet array. Then unfold the array and release all the spherical space fighters, and engage in a fleet artillery battle with the Reaper Empress fleet one by one, dragging the tide of battle into garbage time in line to be shot.

Whenever the Reaper Empress wanted to gather forces to strengthen the internal defenses, she would gather the array again and assume a front-line charge, and the frightened Reaper Empress had to accompany her to fight for attrition.

The Mera Fleet was the second of the seven detachments to engage the Reaper Empress fleet.

Fleet Commander Mera, as the princess of Zebel's kingdom, her tactics are typical of Atlantis, which is quite pleasing to the eye.

After Mera suppressed the fleet array with 5 spherical cosmic fortresses, 50 ellipsoidal space motherships were the core, supplemented by ellipsoidal space warships and spherical space fighters, and 10 attack waves were formed. On the entire battle map, the offensive of the Mera fleet is like a continuous wave.

The wave formation of the Mera fleet is different from the pig rush charge of the foot basin chicken, and the wave of attack is like a constantly rolling track. After each attack wave is rained down in an orderly manner with gun-level firepower, it moves down to give up the firing position to the next attack wave, and then quickly retires.

The spherical space fighter turned into a spray on the waves, and after extinguishing the attack of the Reaper fighter group, it retreated into the fleet array, never leaving the cover of the fleet's fire.

The various waves of the wave array have not been engaged for a long time, and while the constant change of formation consumes the reaper's combat power, the space warships in the formation are also rotating to disperse the damage received. Occasionally, a Space Battleship will be repaired and fully restored after being damaged by a broken Energy Shield.

Although the equipment level of the Shenzhou Space Force has reached the level of third-level civilization, the various strategies and tactics are still at the level of second-level civilization, Minister Qi looked at the wave array of the Mera fleet with some surprise.

Just now, the front arrow formation of the Artemisian fleet has forced a halt to the Reaper Empress fleet. But it wasn't as amazing as Minister Qi, it was just a victory in the psychological and tactical game, and to put it simply, the Reaper Empress was cowardly in front of Artemisia. It was the wave array of the Mera fleet that really subverted Minister Qi's cognition.

For thousands of years, warfare has been limited to a two-dimensional plane, and even the advent of the Air Force cannot change the fact that large-scale mobile operations of the Army are still two-dimensional. In the cognition of all generals, this linear array formation is basically a decisive charge formation with no return. Only the seabed and the universe, which can move in all directions, can make each wave retreat without affecting the next wave of attacks, and can further develop the wave array to the extreme.

After watching the video of the battle sent by Artemisia, Mera had a new idea. She gathered the five "Destroyer"-class space warships that had changed positions with the formation and arranged them above the wave formation as independent firepower points to cover the entire formation.

The cost of 1 "Destroyer"-class space battleship is equivalent to 100 ellipsoidal space ships, and she originally thought that Dylan had specially bought it to deal with the main god system team.

But after the actual measurement, it was found that the "Destroyer" class space battleship is worthy of being a high-end toy of 6 billion war coins, although it is only a kilometer-level space battleship, but the structure of the ship is compact, and almost every weight is for combat. Compared with the ellipsoidal space battleship that is also a kilometer, not only is the double shield extremely resistant to beating, but also the firepower is more powerful, and there are more Gnaku carrier-based aircraft. In addition to the must-hit attribute of the magic energy cannon, the combat efficiency is actually comparable to that of the 50-kilometer-level ellipsoid space carrier. The only drawback is that the range and cost of the main gun-level firepower do not match at all, and long-range fire cover is required, which can be regarded as a melee gunboat with carrier-based aircraft.

The Reaper Empress, who was fighting against Mera, was also forced to continuously strengthen the frontline forces and reduce the number of defensive fleets inside the Empress's mothership.

The Mera Fleet was the second of the seven detachments to successfully halt the Reaper Queen's Mothership.
