Chapter 387: Suicide Charge
As the data link on the drone was activated, the supercomputer on the Crescent began to go on a rampage.
After a short calculation, all drones were assigned separate tasks to prevent too many attacks from being concentrated together and causing unnecessary waste.
The drone swarm that was originally gathered together instantly split into tens of thousands of small groups, rushing towards their respective goals.
Seeing the "dark clouds" that surrounded them, the battleships of the Davis Expansion Committee began to fire wildly.
However, the attack beam, which is very thin to concentrate energy, does very little damage to the swarm of drones that are overwhelming like locusts.
Coupled with the drone's flexible maneuverability, a single attack by tens of thousands of Expansion Council warships will take out less than a thousand drones.
And at this time, the expansion committee has lost the opportunity, and the drone swarm is already very close to their fleet!
"Target those battleships that release drones, as long as we take out these motherships, those hateful "bugs" will naturally lose their command! In the bridge of the flagship of the Expansion Committee fleet, an officer ordered in a deep voice.
The Expansion Council warships, which decided to use the decapitation tactic, began to accelerate and rush towards the fleet of drone carriers hiding outside the battlefield.
"Attack now!" Li Mingze, who saw the intention of the expansion committee's warship, ordered decisively.
Countless drones sped up one by one, but to their surprise, they didn't attack with cannons or missiles, as the Expansion Committee had hoped, but instead crashed into their ships one after another.
"Ridiculous, you think you can shatter our protector by ramming...", the commander of the Expansion Council's fleet could finish his voice as the first drone exploded after hitting the shield of the Expansion Council battleship.
A small sun appeared in front of the Expansion Committee fleet commander, and at this time he realized that something was wrong, these were not drones at all, but nuclear torpedoes that could act autonomously!
In fact, these drones are also equipped with cannons, but these cannons are only aimed at enemy fighters and drones, and in the face of a strong enemy such as the Expansion Committee fleet, these drones have only one way to self-detonate.
It was too late for him to realize that something was wrong, and a strategic mistake had allowed most of the drones to enter their defensive circle.
Bursts of explosions began to appear in the expansion council fleet, and suicide attacks with tens of millions of explosions per second covered the entire starry sky with the blinding light of the explosions.
The entire starry sky seemed to be bathed in a sea of light, and Eva's fleet, relying on optical sensors, had stopped attacking after losing the ability to hunt the enemy, waiting for the light from the explosion to dissipate.
The super-serial explosion lasted for nearly thirty seconds, and in the space of half a minute, two billion drones all crashed into the shields of the Expansion Council warship.
The combined destruction of two billion nuclear torpedoes easily shattered the shields of the Expansion Council's tens of thousands of warships.
Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Eva, who was always keeping an eye on the battlefield, seized this favorable moment and decisively ordered her remaining less than 70 million mechanical warships to rush towards the expansion committee's fleet.
Davis's Council fleet reacted in shock, following Eva's mechic fleet towards the Expansion Council's fleet.
At this time, the four fleets of the Empire quietly retreated around the drone hive fleet, on the grounds that the defense of the hive fleet would be able to produce more drones and completely defeat the fleet of the expansion committee!
In fact, only Li Mingze knows that the nutrient solution carried in the drone carrier has been exhausted, and not only that, but the dual-purpose reactors that can self-detonate and provide energy for the empire have all been exhausted.
Although drone carriers can be manufactured with the help of material transmission, the speed of manufacturing is really a drop in the bucket for the number of drones that can easily reach hundreds of millions.
"Your Majesty, our transport ship carrying the nutrient solution and the ordinary reactor is already on its way." Tianyi came to Li Mingze's side and said softly.
"When they arrive, start resupplying the drone carrier immediately!" Li Mingze nodded.
Now they quietly wait for the battle to end, conserving their strength.
Half an hour later, a supply fleet consisting of tens of thousands of small transport ships arrived on the battlefield through the wormhole high-speed channel.
Seeing that the enemy had reinforcements arriving, the commander of the Davis Expansion Committee was in a hurry.
"Don't get entangled with these warships anymore, go all out and kill those drone carriers!" The Expansion Committee saw that its ships were disappearing under the fire of Eva's ships and Davis's Council ships, and hurriedly adjusted their strategy.
"Sir, the enemy is constantly retreating, and we can't catch up at all!" One soldier hesitated and said stiffly.
"Then activate the main cannon!" The commander of the Expansion Committee gritted his teeth and unlocked the main guns of all the ships.
Due to the excessive amount of energy required by these main guns, and the fact that they can only be fired at a single target, they are not activated when fighting Eva's fleet.
However, now the main cannon can only be used to deal with enemies who are far away from the range of the secondary cannon.
With the unlocking of permissions, six flying wings began to unfold outwards on the golden battleships of all the expansion committees, and six rays of light shot out from the tips of the flying wings, converging in the air into a golden pillar of light and flying towards the Imperial fleet in the distance.
"Urgent evasion!" Li Mingze felt that something was wrong when he saw that these golden battleships were beginning to deform, but fortunately, he noticed it early, and most of the imperial warships turned sideways to avoid this fatal blow.
However, some of the drone carriers and supply ships that are being resupplied are not so lucky.
Thousands of golden pillars of light pierced thousands of drone carriers in an instant.
Where the golden beam passed, all objects vanished, and the battleships exploded into splinters after being carved out of a large transparent hole.
The Empire's proud new shields and energy-absorbing tissues did not stand in the slightest in front of this golden pillar of light, and were shattered in the blink of an eye.
However, when the Expansion Council's fleet fired the main guns, the secondary guns could no longer be used, and Eva seized the opportunity to order the Mech Fleet to rush into the Expansion Council's fleet for a broadside battle.
Ship-grabbing landing bays were launched from the sides of Eva's mechanical battleship onto the Expansion Council's ships.
As the landing silos burrowed into the council's battleship, robots crawled out of the landing silos and crawled towards the bridge of the golden battleship.
But Eva miscalculated! Like the Empire's Man-Ship Plan, the Golden Battleship has only one pilot in each battleship, and this pilot is protected by heavy metal, so you can't do anything with any robots.
