Chapter Twenty-Nine: In the Silence of the Starry Sky

As Rin Tsukichi had guessed, David wasn't completely sure that even if he had planned the operation.

Because all this depended on but a guess on his part.

That is, the purpose of the Sakura Association's trip is entirely for the cargo in the core warehouse area, and in order to ensure the integrity of the goods, it is inevitable that the Icarus will not still be killed when it has completely taken the victory, so as not to implicate the Icarus in the explosion and disintegration.

In the final analysis, this is a gamble, a huge gamble that will cost the lives of the Icarus and even everyone on it, including David himself!

The bet is on the purpose of the Sakura Association, and even, the bet is on the psychology of the masterminds behind the scenes.

From the moment the enemy ships stopped shelling, David knew that he had won half the battle.

And the remaining half is whether the other party can react during this time.

It's a pity that Tsukichi Rin, who is the person in charge of the scenes, did spot the strangeness with his intuition, and in a short period of time, he speculated about David's plan.

But according to her calculations, if David wants to organize a counterattack, he will wait for the Icarus's radiant energy load to naturally dissipate below 30% before he can do it, after all, under the limitation of the existence of such a thing as a radiant safety valve, it will not be able to support Icarus to output full firepower without waiting for this value.

However, she missed a point, the spoke-energy safety valve was originally designed to ensure the stability of the warship and avoid the sudden overclocking of the radial energy load to cause serious hidden dangers to the ship's hull.

And she never imagined that there would be such an unconventional existence as Danli on this ship, risking that the energy supply channel of the Icarus might explode at any time, and frantically rewrote the code directly from the core system level of Icarus, and forcibly lifted this safety valve, just to snatch the remaining 20% of the radiant energy dissipation time.

This miscalculation means that the balance of victory is completely tilted in the opposite direction!

As David's order was given, in the eyes of everyone's dumbfounded eyes, the Icarus, which was already like a salted fish on a chopping board, all the remaining guns on the hull were lifted out of the structure in unison, and then turned in unison, aimed at the imperial warship blocking the front, and began to bombard.

Like a sleeping beast, it slowly opened its eyes, revealing its hideous fangs, and began to let out a dull roar like thunder!

Although the Icarus, which has only been partially remodeled, is inferior in firepower to the battleships that are actually going to the front line, compared to the light warships that Sakura Kai has remodeled from merchant ships in order to disguise themselves, it is completely crushed in the case of one-on-one firepower.

At least for David and Lily, who have so many similar combat experiences, because few people can make all the guns on a ship look like an arm, concentrate the firepower in a certain area in the fastest time, and maintain terrifying accuracy.

After the Icarus almost attacked and fired at full power at the first time, the future flagship of the Sakura Society also activated the force field shield at the first time.

But! They're so close!

And the opening of the force field shield also takes time.

If the Force Field Shield had been able to take effect immediately without any delay, the Icarus would not have been able to land successfully by the Sakura Society's phase ship in the first place.

As a result, the forces of the Sakura Association could only watch as the furious firepower instantly penetrated the force field shield that had not yet fully unfolded and took effect, and bombarded the flagship head-on, sending out a violent explosion.

When the force field shield finally began to take effect, the accumulation of forty-seven graviton laser cannons and the explosion of the inside and outside caused the locally concentrated radiation load on its ship to climb wildly.

Almost in a matter of seconds, such a saturated and dense bombardment overloaded the flagship of the Sakura Society.

Countless violent, demonic energies began to roam the flagship like electric snakes, and the force field shield that had just taken effect also crashed down instantly due to the loss of energy supply, losing any means of resistance.

The ensuing Federo shells and other live-ammunition weapons instantly pierced its modest armor, revealing the most fragile structure within.

It's like an enemy who has lost any ability to resist because of the defeat of the struggle, has been picked off with weapons, stripped of armor, and even torn flesh and bones, revealing the fragile heart that is beating slowly inside... Just wait for the final fatal blow.

The final blow was carried out by the six CNCSV short-spear torpedo capsules, which had all been launched.

A total of 472 CNCSV short-spear torpedoes!

Without the interference of force field shields, any single hit can instantly destroy a CNCSV short spear torpedo of a small assault ship.

These delicate and fragile torpedo groups, which were extremely easy to intercept by self-defense small defensive weapons, poured into the breach of the flagship without any hindrance.

In the next moment, a violent cluster explosion almost instantly destroyed a tenth of the structure, including the bridge of the enemy ship, and then the energy supply pipeline also began to explode in a chain, until the energy reversed and rushed back into the power furnace...

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Originally, the explosions inside and outside the battleship came one after another, the high-temperature flames burned the thin space, and the tongue of fire spit out of the cabin, and suddenly converged, all of them rolled back, and then burst out violently.

The flagship disintegrated almost instantly, and the detonation of the power furnace from the inside caused a terrible chain reaction.

The radius of the flagship turned into a small stellar purgatory in an instant, and the violent heat radiation and shock waves swept across the field like a storm, causing some of the hapless sampan ships around to be killed in unison.

It's like a grand fireworks in the starry sky.

Even the other two light warships of the same class were also slightly affected at the same time, the side armor was scorched red by the heat radiation, and many of the ship's weapons were melted down, so they could only speed up and leave the constantly divergent energy source.

The Icarus suddenly burst into full fire, and then the enemy flagship was suddenly overloaded until it was hit by a group of torpedoes and turned into a dazzling fireball, in less than thirteen seconds.

Even the enemy commander failed to react in time, or perhaps reacted in time but did not achieve any effect, and even the order to counterattack was not given.

So after the flagship was directly detonated by the furious firepower, the battleship group of the Sakura Society, which seemed to be a little chaotic because of the loss of the flagship's command, fell into an eerie silence for a while...

Coincidentally, the commanders who were already in despair saw this big reversal from beginning to end in the bridge of the Icarus, including Zhou Yuehong, fell into the same silence...

Only the paracerebral system, which seemed to be forever conscious, reported in an emotionless voice:

"Enemy flagship, the signal is silent..."
