Chapter 107
Moon didn't say a word at this time, his eyes were firmly fixed on the front, his lips were biting unconsciously, and his hands were already white.
The war is really coming, this is the first time that a few of us guys have been on the battlefield, maybe it will be the last time, should I leave a few words as a will? It is said that all soldiers are required to leave a suicide note before going to war, whether they can return or not, which is an unwritten rule. Do I want to keep some now? Who should I leave to? What to say?
Suddenly, these thoughts popped up in my mind, and my heart calmed down, without nervousness, anxiety, and a series of negative emotions, and it was just a trip out, just like going downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes and coming back on weekdays, I felt very normal.
I looked at Trist and Annie, and the two guys were also calm, at least on the surface.
Anne may not have understood the meaning of war, after all, she was still young, only a child, all this was too far away for her, and she had probably never heard of the cruelty of war.
And Trist is a pure big heart, his rich life experience and casino grinding have long been his current big nerves, and even I think he still has some excited feelings, because the expression on his face is different from usual, and his eyes look bright, this kind of he I have never seen since I met him.
I'm not nervous, I'm not excited, really! I know the cruelty of war, but I just don't have any unusual emotions as usual. I also want to motivate myself and try to get myself excited or whatever, like an athlete has to get himself excited before he goes on the pitch to have a better performance.
As the ship flew out, I saw what was going on outside, just like when we first returned to Earth, the only difference was that the ship was missing the huge inverted pyramid-like spaceship.
"That's not right!" As soon as I saw this, I immediately said.
"What's wrong?" Moon asked me back.
"Too many!" I didn't have a clue to say that.
"Too much?" Trist frowned thoughtfully when he heard this, and with a flick of his hand, a few cards appeared in his hand, constantly appearing and disappearing, which was a sign of his thinking.
If they had the forces to attack from the rear, there wouldn't be as many ships in the sky right now, and that's where I wondered.
Perhaps their strength is far beyond our realization, and there is also a possibility that the ship in front of them is just a suspicious formation, with only a simple pilot on the spaceship, and more troops are attacking underground.
Does that mean that there is a lot of hope that we will attack from the front?
I briefly told the two of them what I thought, and Trist put away the cards in his hand, "You're very likely to say that." Moon, let's attack first and remove the invisibility! ”
"Okay! I've wanted to bomb them for a long time. Moon's eyes were red, and he said with some fanaticism.
With that, he pressed the button and our ship was visible to everyone. Suddenly, a spaceship that did not belong to them appeared in the sky, which immediately attracted their attention.
Suddenly, hundreds of ships turned around and aimed their guns at us.
"Come on! Sea bugs! Moon had red eyes, gritted his teeth, and fired a few shots!
I didn't have time to see if it hit, so I hurriedly maneuvered the spacecraft to avoid it.
The ship on the opposite side had already opened fire, and hundreds of gun ports were fired together, which was no joke.
"It's okay, I activated the energy shield, and I can block it for a while." Moon said, maneuvering the ship without hurry.
Rao opened the energy shield and drove the spaceship to evade and try his best to dodge, but he couldn't withstand the opponent's numerous artillery fire, and it was fierce, dodging most of the artillery fire, but there were still a few accurate hits on our spaceship.
There was a violent shaking, and I was able to hold on to the table to stabilize my body, while Anne held my thighs without falling. Trist, who was on the side, was not so lucky, and had fallen to the side, and never saw the hat he had taken off also fall to the side.
"Everyone's alright, right?" Moon asked, looking back.
"It's fine." Trist got up, picked up his hat, and said as he looked back.
"How long does the energy shield last now?"
This is the big question that has a stake in our lives.
"I'll see. Strangely, although the bombardment just now was violent, it had almost no effect on the energy shield......" Moon replied after checking it.
"No effect? Is that shaking fake? "I didn't have the heart to say.
"That's the weird part...... Moon said, scratching his head. I don't know what's going on, but it stands to reason that such a violent shaking will at least lose half of the energy shield. ”
"Do it again?" I touched my nose and said.
"You can try." Trist also came over at this time, and this time he was much more careful, and grabbed the bridge tightly.
"Well, everybody's holding on. One more time! Moon looked excited, and couldn't help but raise his voice as he said this.
The spaceship deftly turned its head in the air, pulled up again, and shot upward! Who let us come out of the ground, the Atlantean ships have been waiting in the air for a long time, and they can only attack from the back.
A shell shot was fired with a roar, drawing a white light in the air, and quickly pierced into the middle of the pile of ships, this time Moon did not manipulate the ship to evade, just stopped there with a big grin, and I also had a chance to see the effect of the bombardment.
The white light flashed, and it accurately hit a spaceship, and a blue light flashed around the spaceship a few times, and the spaceship shook violently in the air, and then regained its calm.
"It seems that they have also activated the shield, and the protection of this shield is no worse than ours." Moon said.
"Isn't this your masterpiece?" I asked.
"Of course not, we've got shields, but it's not the same as what you see now. How to explain it, judging from the current situation, it seems that there are two different ways, one is suction and the other is rebound. Moon tried to explain the difference between the two in a simple way.
Of course I'm confused, I still don't understand. Even though it's a science subject, this seems to me to be a bit advanced, just like a high school science student who wants to complete a proof of string theory.
"It seems that they have a lot of things to hide, and they just deceived us by asking us to make a spaceship. They had the ability to build their own ships, and they had opened up a different way. Moon touched his bare chin in thought.
At this time, the other party's artillery fire also came, and Moon still did not dodge, just straightened up and let the bombardment occur.
This time the shaking was more violent and lasted longer than the last, and at least I could clearly feel no less than thirty bombardments, and many more of them hit our ship at the same time. Just like the lyrics of Drunken Boxing say, upside down is like a wave, swaying and refusing to fall...... Although it was an intensive bombardment, Moon's report was that the spaceship's energy shield was still not damaged!
This is too weird, as the saying goes, ants bite an elephant to death, and a person can drown a person with a mouthful of spit. But such a dense bombardment on our spaceship, which is not outstanding in terms of protection, actually caused a violent shaking?
"Aim at the ship just now, and do it again."
"Okay!" Moon rubbed his hands together and replied.
Another accurate hit, or the other party has no intention of evading at all, still stopping in place, just waiting to be beaten.
This time, its protective shield could not continue to protect it, and the moment it hit it, the blue light flashed, but it was much darker than the last time. Then, like broken glass, a mesh crack appeared.
"Go on!" Trist said.
Without Trismet's orders, Moon had already launched again.
The ship that lost its shield was accurately hit, and then a brilliant firework was seen in the sky, and the ship was destroyed! I saw countless random collapses everywhere and fell! Successfully shoot down a spaceship!
This is our first victory since the start of the war, right? Although it is inconsequential or even insignificant to the overall situation of the war, do you think that one less spaceship in the million-dollar army will affect the direction of the entire battle? A nail leads to the destruction of a country, this kind of story can only exist in the chicken soup article, for reality, this is really a trivial matter. It's like a gray hair being pulled off by a single hair, and it doesn't affect anything.
But this process seems a little weirder, have you ever seen someone who has been beaten and doesn't fight back? It's just a matter of not fighting back, and you don't even do basic dodging? It's counterintuitive, even if they're Atlanteans!
I don't need to speak, they all thought about this problem, but I didn't expect it to be abnormal, right?
"Did you find ......," Moon said with a dash, completely delighted in shooting down a ship.
"Of course!" Trist had a few more cards in his hand, indicating that he was thinking again.
"Am I blind, can I not see such a big spaceship shot down?" I gave him a look of contempt for him to comprehend.
"What should I do?" I'm a little blindfolded now.
"It's all in the cards!" Trist uttered his classic line, but the cards in his hand spun faster and faster.
"Okay, stop pretending to be a magic stick, I know you don't know how to tell fortunes!"
"Not necessarily!" With a dashing wave of his hand, Trist disappeared with all the cards.
"Why are you going?" I saw him turn around and seem to be about to go.
"I'm going to verify it! Wait for me a moment. Trist didn't look back, just raised his hand, and a card flew lightly.
I took it, and it was an ordinary card, but with a strange pattern on it, and I knew that he had made a unique mark, which could be located by this card and quickly return to the ship.
Seeing this, I didn't say more, knowing that his trip must be safe and worry-free, but I don't know what his purpose is?
A moment later he gave us the answer! Trist flew out in his Fate mech.
This is his special mecha, and it has also been specially modified according to his requirements, and the original weapon system has been changed to a functional existence similar to a boomerang under his request, but it is still required by him to be made into a rectangular card. This weapon with magnetic shocks can oscillate at high speed after flying, and although it looks a little heavy, it can slice through the strongest metal on earth!
This time, he flew the card in the mecha's hand, and without encountering any obstacles, he passed through the protective shield, and then a brilliant flower bloomed in the air again, and another spaceship was destroyed!
That's too easy, right? The other ships immediately launched a counterattack, and several artillery fires were fired in a concentrated manner, converging in front of the Fate to form a huge beam, and then the Fate was shrouded in a bright light.
No! Moon and I shouted out in unison, and our relaxed state of mind suddenly lifted. Why don't you see him and take refuge?
The air in front of him twisted slightly, and Trist's figure revealed.
Great, safe and sound! As for mechas, who cares, the most precious thing is people! As long as people are fine, what is a mecha?
We hurriedly gathered around, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I activated my special ability before they launched, and it won't hurt me." Trist said, pushing away our hands that were trying to touch his body.
It's okay!
"Look at my fate. Just because I left it out doesn't mean I want to abandon it. The corners of Trist's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an evil smile.
Could it be that there is something strange about it? That's what he says needs to be verified?
There was a huge figure standing in the place where the light flashed just now, it was Trist's Fate mecha!
What's going on? The protection ability of this mecha is a few grades lower than that of the spaceship, and it is all right?
"My guess is right!" Trist conjured up a few cards again in his hand and said leisurely.
"Alright, don't sell it." Moon said impatiently.
"I've found out a few times before, they didn't really attack! That's why our ship will be safe and sound, just a shaking. Trist said.
"Didn't launch a real attack?" Moon and I looked at each other, and we saw the same puzzle in each other's eyes.
"Yes! Didn't they feel that they couldn't have so many troops before? And after a few attacks, I had this idea, they didn't really attack, it's not that they didn't want to, but they couldn't! Because what is in front of us is nothing but a fake that has deceived us! Trist spat out.
"You're saying these aren't real ships?" Moon exclaimed.
"Yes, they used certain technical means, visually, like a spaceship, and as for the shield that the attack hit, that's all. It's just a matter of oiling its shape. Some projectors equipped with shields and simulated attack cannons, they are fixed and hovering in the air, so they will not move at all, and they will naturally be easily hit by us, and similarly, because they are just appearances, they will not pose any decent threat to our spaceship, at most they will shake twice, and there will be no actual damage. I went out just now to verify this guess, my mech has been modified according to my request, and it can collect some data when it is attacked, and this data helps me confirm this guess. Trist stopped the cards in his hand and said seriously.
"No wonder your mech is fine." Moon said suddenly. "Wouldn't we be able to destroy them all?"
"Don't rejoice too soon! Have you ever wondered why they did this? Trist asked.
