317 Demonstrate strength3
"General, general...... Look at it! But the captain of the flagship was not so calm, his voice was a little frightened, and his expression was a little surprised.
"......" General Angus put the images collected by the sensors on the virtual screen, and at this time, the autonomous drone also launched a counterattack, and was firing at the nearest gray-black battleship. If it continues like this, it won't take a minute for the autonomous drone to be burned into real tatters by the cruiser-level laser energy beam, but the general sees a different scene.
The laser beams fired by its three cruisers didn't hit it with much success, most of them were neutralized by the energy shield, and even if a few beams broke through the energy shield, hitting the dark gray shell would not do much damage, and even the glow of the melted metal could not be seen.
Although the energy beam emitted by the opponent is thinner, the destructive power is even greater. A black hole had already appeared in the hull of the cruiser that was shooting at it, and even if the surrounding alloy armor desperately flashed blue light to reunite, the speed still couldn't keep up with the destruction.
The main reason is that the self-discipline drone has a fast rate of fire, and three energy beams of different colors are constantly hitting the same position in turn, seeing that the gray-black cruiser is almost unable to carry it, even if it also has a layer of energy shield, it doesn't seem to play much of a defensive role.
Just when General Angus was puzzled, the tide of the battle changed dramatically. The autonomous drone's attack suddenly paused for two or three seconds, and then a black cylinder shot out of its tail and rushed at high speed to the cruiser's hole, and drilled into it accurately. In an instant, a pale blue light illuminated all the nearby ships, blasting the gray-black cruiser into a huge gap.
"Nope! It's not a self-disciplined drone, by no means! "Even if you don't like these gray-black battleships of unknown origin and strange appearance, but everyone is an ally, and seeing that one of them was destroyed in less than twenty seconds, General Angus couldn't help but blurt out.
He had fought dozens of times with autonomous drones, and he had never found those mechanical monsters using energy shields, let alone that they could also fire space torpedoes. Not to mention that self-disciplined UAVs do not have such means of attack, and even cruisers of various countries will not be equipped with such large weapons.
Its power increases with its size, but just now that tiny cylinder blew up the cruiser in one fell swoop, and it was not a space torpedo. Such a small space torpedo...... It's hopeless to think about.
"Toot toot toot...... "As if he understood ......the general's roar, the flagship mastermind suddenly let out a piercing chirp, and a large small shadow appeared on the virtual screen, which was rushing from another direction at a very fast speed.
Because the speed was too fast and the size was too small, several cruisers in the outer layer of the formation had already broken through the last defensive distance by them before they could lock on to the target. Once this level is reached, most of the weapons on the battleship will not be able to catch up with the high-speed moving target due to their tracking speed, but will only be used to passively take action.
"Republic...... No, isn't it...... Can anyone tell me what they really are! "General Angus is no stranger to the high-speed approach trembling tactic, and the Republic warships like to do it the most.
Due to technological reasons, they could not make significant progress in the defense of their warships, so they simply partially abandoned their defenses and desperately accelerated their speed advantage. As long as they are approached to within 5,000 meters by the Republic's warships, the balance of victory and defeat will often favor them.
But then the general denied his own judgment, even the fastest frigate of the Republic could not reach this speed, otherwise it would have hit the capital of the empire a long time ago. And they are so small that they can barely accommodate an escape pod.
"Stop scattering, get closer, move closer to the center!" Seeing that more and more warships were entangled in those high-speed flying objects, General Angus had to give orders that were diametrically opposed to the previous ones. At this point, it was obviously too late to disperse, and he keenly felt that the danger was not from the autonomous drone that appeared first, but from these little guys.
There is only one way to deal with them, shrink the formation to launch space bombs, and destroy them first with indiscriminate damage, even if you suffer some losses for this, it is much more active than just being beaten and not being able to fight back.
It's a pity that this correct decision was late, and most of the battleships didn't seem to have received orders from the flagship, and still maintained a state of dispersion at high speed, and some of the battleships immediately shrank to the middle, but this helped the self-discipline drones.
It used its size and speed to constantly drill between several ships, using them as cover to minimize the damage it takes, while not forgetting to keep an eye on the second gray-black cruiser to attack.
The method is the same as just now, concentrate on one part, as long as the shell is damaged, immediately launch a small space torpedo, and then there is a dazzling blue light.
"General...... Is it time to ......" The flagship captain has also been trying to command his subordinates to adjust the formation, but the effect is also not great. The warships in some formations did not seem to receive new orders, and they were still spreading out to the periphery no matter how they shouted, while there were only four warships close to the center of the flagship.
Seeing that the situation was very bad, he couldn't help but retreat. If you can't prevent it and can't adjust it, you can't adjust it, and if you persist any longer, the end will be even worse, so it's better to jump away with the rest of the battleships.
"Concentrate on the fight against self-disciplined drones!" General Angus gritted his teeth and rejected his men's rationalization proposals, and immediately issued a new order.
Now the flagship is relatively far away from the two remaining gray-black battleships, and can play to the advantage of firepower. As an emperor, abandoning his comrades on the battlefield is the most despicable act, and honor tells him that he can't do this, even if he sacrifices his life for this, this is also the fate of a soldier.
Suddenly increased the fire suppression of four warships, even if the self-discipline drone is fast, no matter how strong the defense is, it is a little unbearable, and after the outer energy shield is neutralized, it will be hit one after another before it has time to recover, and the inner alloy armor finally saw a scene full of sparks.
If it goes on like this, a few more direct hits will be able to damage the internal structure, as long as this autonomous drone is knocked out, those gadgets who don't know what it is will be easy to do, so far they don't seem to have shown much attack power, more like a group of electronic jamming devices.
Just when General Angus felt that the situation on the battlefield had improved, the two family destroyers suddenly stopped firing. When dealing with high-speed small targets, destroyers are equipped with light and medium weapons that are most effective, as they have a fast rate of fire and a fast tracking speed. Although the large and medium-sized weapons on his battlecruiser are powerful, the rate of fire and tracking speed are slow, and it is difficult to hit the target.
"Captain Pedro! Captain Pedro! Captain Archie! Captain Archie! Why don't you keep shooting, whatever the reason, I order you to continue to follow the flagship to attack the target! I ......"
But no matter how they called, the two destroyers did not respond, and before General Angus could find out what the problem was, the flagship's control room suddenly flashed dark and bright, and the power system was malfunctioning!
"Sonny, what are you doing? This is going to a court-martial! "Seeing that the fleeting hope is about to be dashed again, General Angus is really about to run away. As one of the most refined fleets of the Adesapor family, how could his own subordinates make such a low-level mistake.
“…… General, it seems that the main brain of the spaceship has been severely disturbed and cannot maintain normal power distribution! It's those little things that are extremely fast, they can actually affect the main brain, what should I do now? ”
The captain looked at his commander and felt a bitter cry, it was really not a lack of training on weekdays, let alone a command error, the master of the spaceship did not accept the order, and it was useless for anyone to come.
"Sonny, I should have listened to you, don't blame me, pray to God......" Seeing another cloud of blue light coming from the constantly flickering virtual screen, General Angus lowered his head and let his body float in the escape pod. With his knowledge, skills, and experience, he can no longer continue to command, and he can't think of a counterattack at all, and now even evacuation has become a problem, so leave it to fate.
