Chapter 21: Under the Fame!
As David had predicted, the shrill sirens were ringing in the Icarus bridge at this moment.
Looking at the captain Zhou Yuehong, who was completely in a state of crimson collapse on the hologram of the battleship, he finally couldn't hide the paleness on his face and the despair in his eyes.
And on one of the monitoring screens showing the engine power area, Rin Tsukiike, who had met with David once, turned his back to the engine compartment that was emitting thick smoke, facing the direction of monitoring, or showed a charming smile to the captain Zhou Yuehong, handed out a flying kiss, and opened and closed his mouth as if to say something.
βGOOD LUCK!β
Anyone who knows a little lip language and the mother tongue of the earth knows what she said, and Zhou Yuehong is obviously one of them.
"Ah!!h
Under this extremely heavy and fatal blow, Zhou Yuehong finally couldn't hide the despair in her heart, and slammed her fist on the command platform, blood splattered, and dripped down the ground of the broken answer.
It didn't take long for the Icarus, which had lost the power of its main engine, to be quickly caught up by the enemy ship group, and on the holographic map, countless dense red signal sources representing enemy ships were swarming.
The entire bridge hall seemed to be infected by this suffocating atmosphere, and completely fell into a dead silence, and in the eyes of everyone, there was the deepest humiliation and despair.
They didn't die on the most glorious battlefield, but today it seems that they are destined to die on the knife stabbed in the back of the Sakura Association, and what makes it even more difficult for them to accept is that once today's action fails, they will follow in the footsteps of those moon spirit people back then, and they will be nailed to the pillar of shame by their descendants, and they will never be able to turn over!
In the end, it was Zhou Yuehong, who was the captain of the ship, who was the first to stabilize her emotions.
She clenched her fists, turned around slowly, her eyes swept over the faces of the crew members without any emotion, closed her eyes, was silent for a while, and ordered to the whole channel:
"All the crews obeyed the order, and the reserve artillery regiment was immediately in position."
"Give up the pursuit of the target, immediately enter the E-12, V13, N-T4, C32 area to assist in the defense, and prepare for the upcoming broadside battle!"
The holographic picture flashed, and the middle-aged officer's tired but unwilling face appeared, "But we have seriously injured her in the previous battle, and more importantly, the phantom crystal armor-piercing bullet in her hand is suspected to be exhausted, if you give up now!" β
Zhou Yuehong did not blame the soldier, but showed a complicated smile, like regret and self-deprecation, "It's useless, her goal has been achieved, even if she kills her immediately, it can't change the established facts!" β
Immediately, her face became more serious than ever, "And our most important task now is to hold the Icarus until the reinforcements arrive!" And that's the last thing we can do. β
βYES! MY LORD!β
No sooner had she turned off the transponder than the ship's brain heard a shrill siren again.
"Alert, energy overflow fluctuations detected, the Icarus is locked by energy weapons! Locked in by remote energy! β
"It's a phase ship! Perform tactical evasion and activate the force field shield! Fast! β
Even Zhou Yuehong, who had already been mentally prepared for this result, did not expect the other party's movements to be so fast, and ordered.
"Perform tactical evasion and activate the force field shield!"
As the adjutant shouted with nervousness, the personnel in the command hall began to make an emergency operation.
The Icarus's intact auxiliary engines were fully opened, and the massive hull began to fine-tune in subtle increments, while a layer of shields glowing with blue light began to take shape around the ship, but it was still half a step late.
In the direction of the left rear tail of the Icarus, a small assault ship with a strange appearance suddenly appeared out of thin air, and the muzzle of the gun that had already been shielded with energy was lit up with dozens of bright lights, and four silent fish and hundreds of space landing modules were launched at the same time.
Even though the Icarus made a tactical evasion, the highly compressed column of energy was wiped out as it broke through the half-formed force field shield, but it briefly created a gap in the force field, allowing two of the ghostly fish to rush in.
The third auxiliary engine on the right wing of the battleship and the rear side of the battleship was shot!
After a violent tremor, the hull erupted with a loud bang!
One of them was at the door of the landing module, and a terrifying gap immediately appeared, and the more than ten space landing modules were like poppies in full bloom halfway, and the six hatches unfolded and fell off from behind the module, revealing several rows of space marines in chemical protection suits and mixed troops in power armor, which were actually mixed with some space mechs like giants.
At the same time, a counterattack from the Icarus began.
Three thousand four hundred and sixty-three Fiedro escort guns began to roar silently, but the landing force had already ejected from the landing module as soon as the first barrage of bullets hit, spreading out as much as possible, and making a dash towards the gap where the Icarus had been blasted.
In the context of the universe, these assault troops are as small as a group of clownfish chasing giant whales, but for the Icarus, which has already been baptized by the frenzy of infected bodies and gravity, which has caused an unprecedented emptiness, these seemingly small space landing forces at the moment are also deadly poisonous insects.
Once too many troops landed on the Icarus, coupled with the local stalwarts fleet that could catch up at any time, the consequences were unimaginable.
Under the superimposed blows of Federo's artillery, raiders constantly turned into a spot of light in space, and then turned into interstellar dust.
But even so, the remaining troops still flew towards the gap like marching ants that did not stop until they reached their goal.
So after four minutes and thirty-one seconds of this stalemate, the Icarus troops, who had been waiting at the gap, began a head-to-head exchange with the first group of landed enemy troops.
And the predictable and even worse news came at this time.
"Detected the approach of the local main fleet!"
"Enter Visual Sight!"
"Access the signal, increase the resolution!"
As the adjutant carried out the emergency operation, the star map of the meeting in the command hall was converted into a visual image.
The next moment, the officers in the command hall saw a picture that made them extremely cold, and the interior of the battleship fell into a deathly silence again.
I saw three swarthy main frigates, like ghosts slowly crawling out of the dark hell, silently blocking the direction of the Icarus.
Around them, small ships as intricate as swarms of bees.
Although these three frigates obviously do not belong to the same specification, or even belong to the same forces, and are even likely to be looted, those small ships scattered around are even more miscellaneous, and some are as ridiculous as small sampans, as if they can be sunk with a random shot.
But at this moment, no one in the bridge could laugh.
Because although they have not fought against the forces of the Sakura Society, the name of the Sakura Society has already resounded in the entire sea of stars for dozens of thousands of years...
