Chapter 582: Broadside Combat
Old Federation destroyer ships? He was mindful that after ten years of encirclement, the notorious Itong pirates were almost extinct, and even before that, the Skeletons and Ghost Riders could not have had such a big hand. Now the only possibility is that the gang of Kezmian refugees who fled from Zoroaster, but after the loss of Rahaman. After Fakhl is the backbone, do these unfashionable rats really dare to declare war on the Silver Alliance Navy?
"17 destroyers, densely cut into formation, with an estimated arrival time of 50 seconds." The war officer reported.
"What about defense mechanisms? Why hasn't there been any movement yet? Cliff frowned and looked at his assistant.
"Your Excellency, there seems to be a problem with the automatic weapon control system!" Major Mancheni kept his fingers on the tactical table, and he had to hesitate to answer in the face of Cliff's questioning.
"At this time?" Cliff was furious. "What the hell is going on?" He said angrily.
"I don't know, Commander, the system refuses to carry out the command ......to fire," Mancheni replied truthfully, still trying to figure out why.
"Yah, God is above! You ......," Cliff felt a dull ache in the vein of his head. "Then the battery personnel should be in place, right?" He had no choice but to ask.
"It's all in place, Your Excellency." The assistant hurriedly replied. "But the target was too close and was within the blind spot of the firing limit to shoot." He added.
"Damn bastard!" Cliff finally cursed at this moment.
"Then please tell me what else we have to use at the moment?!" He yelled at his assistant.
"Shield, Your Excellency, Shield." Major Mancheni reminded him. "They can't break through the shield and engage in broadside combat."
As soon as he finished saying this, the red light trembled, and the command cabin, which was in a combat state, suddenly fell into darkness.
"What the hell is going on!" Cliff roared, and he couldn't help but feel that all the bad luck in his life was concentrated in this moment.
But apparently that's not all.
"Cliff...... Your Excellency ...... Commander," Mancheni called out his superior's name, his eyes looking ahead in horror.
"What's wrong again?" Cliff turned around angrily, and in the direction of his assistant's gaze, he saw a sea change outside the porthole.
The blue light and shadow are melting in front of your eyes, from crystal moist to thin as cicada wings, like pieces of burning paper.
Outside of the 'Sky Castle', the energy force field shield with the reputation of 'absolute defense' is rapidly collapsing!
At this moment, close to the side of the longitudinal axis of the battleship, a dense group of destroyers was rapidly approaching, and they suddenly arrived, slowly revealing their figures in the brake flames spewed from the bow of the ship.
At this moment, except for the City in the Clouds which was unable to attack due to the failure of the ship's weapon system, the remaining 9 escort ships of the Four Seasons Cruises were firing on these uninvited guests in full force. Their pouring fire was blocked by the destroyers' shields, and some of the 17 destroyers began to adjust their hulls to return fire on the escorts, while others moved their engines in unison toward the City in the Clouds and the Four Seasons cruise ships.
……
Never set foot on the surface, put an end to all extravagance and greed, self-sufficient, purified, bloomed, and maintained pure beauty in a vacuum.
The supreme, all-powerful, compassionate feathered god is about to descend on earth.
Then all suffering will be gone, and God will lead His true followers on their way home, to the Promised Land of all creation.

……
Outside, the fire was raging, but the room was silent, and the glare was flashing, and the harsh sparks were accompanied by the twisted whimper of metal.
The thick acetinol bulkhead can resist the attack of the battleship's guns and laser weapons, but it is vulnerable to the fusion polymer cutting equipment. Soon, the heavy hatch toppled after losing the last shred of support, and the clanging sound seemed to sound the starting pistol for the defenders in the cabin.
Gunfire rang out, beams of light flew sideways, and the Silver Alliance soldiers hidden in the empty flight hangar suddenly tore off the veil of silence, and in the passage, in the hall, the marines hidden behind the equipment box and ion grating opened fire fiercely towards the hatch.
Seeing that the rain of bullets did not meet the response of the other party outside the hatch, a Marine captain stood up in a stealth place and repeatedly gestured to turn off the fire. The gunfire gradually stopped, but the air became more and more filled with a strong battlefield atmosphere.
"Be hidden, be hidden!" The captain shouted. His words alerted some of the experienced soldiers, who clung to their guns and pressed their bodies against the covering.
At this time, the huge hatch full of bullet marks was unusually quiet, and the corridor of the black hole seemed silent, without any attack or charge, and the other party seemed to be waiting for something, which made the crew in the cabin even more nervous.
While~
With a crisp thud, a metal ball no larger than the size of a fist was thrown out of the shadows outside the door, rolling on the metal floor, glowing green in the texture of the sphere.
When~When~
Then two more were thrown in.
"It's a bomb?!" Someone shouted in the cabin, which caused the soldiers who were trying to observe the probe to quickly re-hide.
But nothing happened after that, and the three metal balls seemed to be unremarkable, finally standing still after tumbling and tumbling.
"What the hell are they doing?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
As if in reply to his question, a vision abruptly appeared at the hatch, a crisp sound like a raindrop, and a large number of metal balls were thrown in from outside the hangar, and they were scattered on the ground and rolled all over the ground.
"Be careful~" A voice shouted in the hangar, and at this moment, those small metal balls suddenly burst into green light, and everyone only felt a tingling pain in their ears, and a sharp and piercing sound instantly swept through the entire hangar hall.
"Sonic ...... Sonic bombs! Someone among the Marines was screaming hysterically, and his voice was now indistinguishable even from himself.
The huge high-frequency sound wave caused all the Silver Alliance soldiers in the hangar to be in extreme pain, and some of them squatted on the ground with their ears clutched, but the pervasive sound wave continued to attack unhindered, and they only felt that the maddening noise seemed to come from their heads.
The battle was over in just a few minutes, and by the time Ying Feng Hina walked slowly into the hangar with her men armed with guns, the crew and marines of the City in the Clouds had completely lost their combat capabilities. Some of them were limp on the ground, some were vomiting, and some of them had already fainted.
