The fleet's defense line was in danger, but on the flagship, Vice Admiral Yang and Leona were busy with other things, and they didn't seem to be paying much attention to the attack that was in full swing outside......

If you look closely at the diamond-shaped fleet, you will find that although the fleet was indeed "badly" beaten by the raiding group of fighters, no battleship was really hit into the air! Even if the pirate's dreadnoughts fired six times, they had already guided the six cruisers of the Star Union to withdraw from the battle. However, relying on the "A+" formation conversion, no battleship has been completely removed, and even the diamond-shaped battle formation is still intact.

In other words, the battle damage of the Star Alliance fleet is actually far less severe than it seems! What's more, from beginning to end, the diamond-shaped battle formation still maintains a salvo rate of once every half second, and has never stopped the pace of naming the pirate cruisers - now there are not many pirate cruisers left, and the cruisers equipped with main guns have all been *lost!

Dreadnoughts are the main force that will only go out in a decisive battle. In normal times, cruisers are the heart of the fleet - in this sense, in fact, the pirate fleet has been uprooted and will not be able to recover for decades!

"Did you find out?" Seeing Leona go and return, Lieutenant General Yang asked a little nervously.

"That's right! It's the card number! Leona replied excitedly, "The identification code has been confirmed, and that is one of Batarui's two flagships!" ”

"Damn it! That's it! Let's go, Leona. "Lieutenant General Yang immediately gave the order." Go and give it a heavy blow! Now, we have to beat the Batarui people for ten years and can't turn over! Hurry up, the interferers may be there in the next minute, and we don't have much time left......"

Leona saluted vigorously and turned to leave! It didn't take long for the release of fighters carried on various cruisers. These sparse fighter jets, compared to the number of pirates' fleet of fighters that still cover the sky, make people think of a drop in the bucket - it seems that the Star Alliance has run out of mountains and rivers, and the skills of donkeys are exhausted.

In interstellar combat, it is usually a heavily guarded aircraft carrier that is responsible for carrying fighters into the battlefield and releasing them. However, because the release and recovery of fighters in space does not require space-consuming equipment such as runways, only simple catapult devices, so dreadnoughts, cruisers, and even frigates can carry a small number of fighters.

Cruisers, in particular, often need to be sent to complex areas to carry out unknown types of missions, whether it is air patrol or ground operations, they need to be prepared in advance. Therefore, in general, each cruiser is equipped with twin fighters and dual vehicles, or all are replaced with shuttles.

Now the cruiser has released these fighters, which the pirates had expected. Less than fifty fighters were released, and the small scale was pitiful...... These fighters bravely charged at the pirate group, like Don Quixote challenging a windmill. But they only splashed a little wave, and then retreated urgently, leaving only many destroyed planes and escape pods on the battlefield, and the ridicule of the pirates......

Twenty minutes have passed since the battle began with the bombardment of meteorite swarms by the fleet. According to the sensitive procedures of this area, when the battle officially broke out, I don't know how many eyes were involved! The Citadel, in particular, must have gotten the news...... At this moment, it is estimated that there are countless political forces calculating gains and losses, and weighing whether to intervene.

However, once the Dreadnought-class "Kas" is attacked, the first to appear must be the Bataari! All they have is two dreadnoughts, I don't believe they dare not save them!

At this moment, the pirate fighter group that has been unable to attack the ship formation for a long time has found that the situation is not good. Those smart people are already mixed in behind, ready to slip away at any time. This situation, in fact, can be seen more clearly on that Kashirt dreadnought!

There are not many cruisers left in the central airspace, and the frigates have been defeated! In fact, the passage of the Star Alliance battleship group to the dreadnought has actually been opened, if it weren't for the Star Alliance battleship group still being frantically entangled by the pirate's three-plate axe, I'm afraid it has already begun to accelerate the assault!

If you don't leave now, when will you stay? Just as the Kashirt was looking for an opportunity to turn and retreat, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.

"The whole army has it, and it is transferred to the second stage!" Lieutenant General Yang commanded loudly into the communication array.

Following his order, the frigate group of the Star Alliance immediately abandoned the target they were pestering and turned around and rushed towards the dreadnought in the distance! The diamond-shaped battle formation completely abandoned the remaining cruisers and began to strike at the Kashirt dreadnoughts at a long distance.

At this time, even the stupidest pirates can see that the tide is turning! But at this time, the roar of the pirate commander sounded in their communication channel! "I command you, kill those cruisers at once! Don't be afraid, the Imperial Navy is coming soon! Victory is ours in the end! ”

The pirates looked at each other, and then, with most of the fighters and shuttles, regrouped and swooped down on the cruisers! In any case, at least on the battlefield here, the pirates still have the advantage!

But in the next moment, the laser cannon controlled by the GARDIAN system of the diamond-shaped battle array suddenly exploded! The orange-red light, which was several times more numerous, suddenly lit up, as if the entire fleet was emitting endless light outward!

*****

A month ago, when these old cruisers gathered near Pluto, they were engaged in a coordinated offensive and defensive drill with the personnel they had deployed. After seeing Mu Xing, who was passing by occasionally (the Gagarin space station is also in the orbit of Pluto), he casually asked someone, "Why are these ships still using the GARDIAN type?" ”

Of course, those who heard it would carefully explain to the little princess of the Star Alliance, "This batch is all old warships waiting to be decommissioned, and according to the division of 60 years, it just happened to catch up with the GARDIAN II system. ”

"Assembled for training like this, it's for a combat mission, right? Why not upgrade your defenses? ”

"This ...... Because they are all old warships that are about to be decommissioned, is there still a need to upgrade? ”

"The GARDIAN system is designed to increase the survival rate of the battleship, that is, the survival rate of the crew. UPGRADING THE GARDIAN SYSTEM COSTS MONEY, BUT EACH SOLDIER'S LIFE IS ALSO WORTH A LOT OF MONEY. ”

"Well, you're right, I'll apply." Mu Xing's opinion was naïve, but that person didn't want to argue with Mu Xing about such a trivial matter at all, so he gave in after a little resistance.

But Mu Xing thought about it for a while, and then continued. "It just so happens that I have some modifications to the GARDIAN system of the Navy, so I will call it the GARDIAN Type III. Just use this battle to test ......"

So that's it - the old cruisers were supposed to be installed with the GARDIAN 1 (firing an orange laser beam that deals continuous burn damage); However, on the eve of retirement, he was ready to spend a lot of money to replace it with GARDIAN Type 2 (emitting milky white droplet-shaped light balls and compound damage); Immediately it became Muxing's test product and was replaced with GARDIAN Type 3!

Mu Xing seems to be intent on creating some kind of misunderstanding, and Type 3 also fires an orange laser beam, but it does compound damage. And not only that, but wireless power transmission, heat-absorbing tiles, new lens materials, and so on...... With the use of a large number of new technologies, the power of the Type 3 GARDIAN system seems to be beyond imagination?!

It is precisely because of the safety that the navy is willing to allocate twice as many personnel to each warship......

Every cruiser, whether it was on the periphery of the diamond-shaped battle formation, or the one that had been "damaged" before, dragging it behind and dying, all set up 24 guards laser cannons at this moment, firing at the target frantically, damn it! The computer of the GARDIAN system took over the manual operation and immediately burst out with maximum power! The orange-red pillar of light emitted from the lens was not interrupted at all, and when it penetrated through one plane, it just dragged it to the side, and then "chopped" the other shuttle into two with ease!

This doesn't look like a laser cannon at all, this Nima is obviously a "laser sword" that is dozens of kilometers long! Countless slender orange blades snaked across the sky, leaving behind countless exploding fireworks and beautiful laser remnants.

Looking at this scene outside the window, General Yang on the flagship couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Small fighter tactics...... Since then, it has become history. ”

It is not difficult to imagine that when the GARDIAN III system is popularized, when the defensive artillery fire of the battleship has super explosiveness and extremely accurate hits, I am afraid that there will be no future when the tactics of using the flexibility and small target of the small fighter can be used to restrain the tactics of the big battleship!

In the future, heavy ablative armor will inevitably become the mainstream of defense along with kinetic barriers. R1152
