Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Bunch of Cunning Bastards

The universe is deep, silent and frozen.

Huge gray-white planets, wrapped in a wide belt of meteorites, are quietly suspended in the universe. Five thousand kilometers to its left, it flies silently and looks at the satellite in the distance, like an ant next to an elephant, so small that it is almost invisible.

However, it is this ant that maintains the longbow local fleet, everyone's hope!

The satellite's microthrusters eject tiny streams of ionic light that act like a suspended firefly in the night sky. The fingernail-sized central processing unit faithfully receives and executes every finger sent out by the battleship. The footage, which is constantly adjusted according to the commands, gives you an unobstructed view of the entire space battlefield.

If the officers were a great surprise at the first sight of an attack on the pirate fleet, now they could only sigh of disappointment when the full picture of the fleet was displayed on the virtual screen

The Longbow Local Fleet is stationed in the Longbow Domain, and there are countless warships of all kinds that travel between the Longbow and the surrounding waterways. Friendly warships, enemy warships, smugglers, adventurers, merchant convoys, corporate fleets, but everyone has never seen such a bad warship!

A sub-shot of the telescopic satellite zoomed in to the hull of the battleship that led it.

The mottled hull, the broken armor, the rusty turret, and the almost ridiculously sharp ramming angles of the bow - the whole battleship is like crossing from the medieval ocean of ancient Earth to space, with a twisted black humor.

And behind this high-speed charging battleship, there are two equally dilapidated armed merchant ships and four even more dilapidated frigates God forbid, such a battleship can sail in dangerous space, it is a miracle!

Compared with these broken copper and iron, those battleships displayed in the museum are completely new and new from the factory!

What fool would count on such a fleet to save himself?

screen. The tattered fleet advanced at high speed, preparing for a second salvo.

In the control room, the Salga officers all sighed. Judging from their military qualities, the direction in which this fleet appeared, the timing of the cannon fire, and the direction in which they were now advancing can only be described as suicidal!

This fleet originally had the advantage of being caught off guard, but this was the most important advantage. By the time these rookies finished their jump, they were gone.

The distance between them and the pirate fleet was already too close. Artillery fire, but one more round. As long as the pirates survive this round of attacks, they will be able to divide their forces and maneuver. Sweep this battered fleet out of the game.

In terms of modern warfare command principles, no matter what the purpose of the commander of this tattered fleet is, they should keep their distance, wander to the edge of the battlefield, use their decent firepower, try their best to harass them, and use the powerful Brave as a cover. Stretch out the space to roam and create opportunities.

It's a pity that the fleet commander is obviously a fool who knows nothing about the art of war command.

The officers were distraught. The abominable fate blew up a colorful bubble, wrapped everyone in the bubble, ascended to heaven, and punctured this bubble between the heels, leaving everyone's hearts at will. Constantly sinking.

It's just a vicious joke.

Fang Xiang looked at the virtual screen quietly. I can't make waves in my heart. Even she herself was amazed at her calmness. No matter who the fleet appeared in front of her, she didn't think that the Salga Longbow fleet would have any friends at this moment.

To the wolves of the free world, the longbow fleet, which has no ability to resist, is like a fat lamb. Everyone wants to pounce on it and take a bite! It is weak and foolish to have expectations for a fleet of unknown origin.

Moreover. The commander of this fleet. It's so stupid. Now, the only thing Fang Xiang is looking forward to. It was this tattered fleet that could turn the tide of battle in the Brave's favor before it was destroyed.

The tattered fleet continued their assault. The rusty hull of the ship trembled in the void, and it seemed that it would disintegrate at any moment.

Another salvo, unsurprisingly burst into the picture.

White, red light filled the entire screen, and the violent flash made people dare not force their eyes.

Dozens of energy cannon lights, streaked across the black starry sky, and plunged headlong into the group of pirate fleet ships, two torpedo boats, a frigate and an armed merchant ship, were accurately hit. The explosions and fires are very clear and dazzling in the universe.

This was supposed to be the last attack of this tattered fleet, and the officers on the battleship sighed. They were amazed and admired by the intensity of the fleet's firepower, and they hated the stupidity of the fleet commander - space battles were not just rushes and pounds. A penetrating central breakthrough must be built on superior forces. Otherwise, it will evolve into a self-trapping net.

The mistakes made by this tattered fleet can even be written into military school textbooks.

First, they don't have the ability to make a central breakthrough. And their course, speed, is undoubtedly trying to kill the pirate fleet.

Second, even if they wanted to break through, the timing of their two salvos was not appropriate. Especially this last time, given their speed and distance from the enemy ships, they should keep the energy cannon fully loaded and cast it at close range, destroying the enemy ships that have completed their rotation and posed a threat to them.

Not to mention the other mistakes, these two mistakes alone are fatal enough.

Now, the pirate fleet has suffered some losses, but it has not reached the point of collapse! Not to mention that this tattered fleet is unable to break through the pirates' formation, and even if they do, they don't have enough strength to divide and annihilate. Once they lose their mobility and become entangled by pirates, it is a dead end.

In the midst of everyone's complicated gaze, the pirate fleet unsurprisingly shrank in formation. And the tattered fleet is still rigidly continuing to advance according to the original trajectory.

3,000 km, 2,000 km, 1,000 km, 850 km, 600 km

In the silence, suddenly, a radar soldier shouted: "Oh my God, they are speeding up!" ”

Yes, without being reminded by the radar soldiers, everyone can see it.

At that moment, with seven ions of light, it suddenly lit up. The tattered fleet in the rush was as if it had been pushed violently, and its speed suddenly increased!

Time, as if it has frozen.

Everyone stared blankly at the seven off-string arrows that shot out. Shocked, puzzled, shocked, speechless, all kinds of expressions froze on the face.

And the most frightened people were naturally the Devil's Eye Pirate Regiment located directly in front of the route of the tattered fleet.

Stillman was desperately punished by Cooper to lead the fleet back to the base.

This is where he is rooted. There is no room for error! Therefore, regardless of Tailiu's situation at this moment, he led the fleet on a rapid march, and in the middle of the battle, a short but fierce battle broke out with the entangled redbeard pirate group. Lost an armed merchant ship. Two torpedo boats and two plunderboats.

However, all this troubles turned into ecstasy when he saw the lone longbow heavy cruiser.

Stillman wanted to get the cruiser, and the Polar-star cruiser he was riding on kept his eyes on the Longbow-class heavy cruisers. Be at the forefront of the attack formation. When that tattered fleet suddenly attacked, Stillman. I had almost clenched the longbow in the palm of my hand.

At that time, Stillman's heart had already risen to his throat. He thought that the place where the attack was launched was the fleet ambushed by the opponent, and you must know that although the armed merchant ships of the Demon Eye were not military equipment, it was impossible for the fleet of the Free World, equipped with hybrid cannons, to destroy an armed merchant ship with such powerful and accurate firepower.

If it was an accomplice to that longbow, Stillman's only choice was there. It's to abandon the base and run away.

But. When he saw the appearance of the sneak attack fleet, he almost blew his lungs.

Sneaking up on himself turned out to be a few rags that should have stayed in the scrap metal workshop! It's just a matter of not knowing whether to live or die! The most ridiculous thing is that these seven battleships actually tried to get close to their own fleet. I don't know if I want to fight at close range or rush into the formation to strangle!

Either way, in Stillman's view, it's all about looking for death!

The second salvo of the tattered fleet. Let Stillman at the same time as his heart aches. I have made up my mind! He wants to make this group of rookies understand that just by relying on the energy cannon that he didn't know where to find. You can't cross the universe!

He quickly gave the order to shrink in the middle of the wings, and then he stood there trembling, mouth wide open, eyes bulging, and a ridiculous expression expressing his horror.

"What do they want to do?" Looking at the seven tattered battleships that were speeding towards his fleet, Stillman roared in a pitched manner, hysterical.

No one could answer him, it was a question common to all.

"What do they want to do?"

Everyone on the Napoleon-class battleship was stunned by what was happening in front of them and a thought that suddenly came to mind. They held their breath. I felt my heart beating uncontrollably, faster and faster, pounding.

The images transmitted by the satellite appeared simultaneously on every virtual screen in every corner of the battleship. Whether it is the main control room of the bridge, or the corridor, the rest cabin, the engine room, the elevator, and the torpedo room are all dead silent. The sound of prayers, choked voices, sighs, all kinds of sounds, has stopped. Only the virtual screen flickered and changed the light, silently reflected on the metal walls, on the machinery and equipment, on the beds, and on the faces of the officers and soldiers, flickering and dimming.

Between the stones, fire, and lightning, the tattered fleet, already in full view of everyone, crashed headlong into the group of pirate ships.

"My God!"

"Oh my!"

"These crazy people!" Listening to all kinds of exclamations erupting in his ears, Fang Xiang covered his mouth tightly.

She saw that the picture on the virtual screen suddenly froze. Immediately, the last few warships lined up in the pirate fleet were shattered under the hideous crashing corners of the tattered fleet.

Some were knocked into the barrage, and the huge crack broke the battleship in two. Yes, they were hit in the tail, and the energy of the thrusters caused an explosion, which pushed the battleship diagonally away with ferocious inertia and crashed into the battleship next to it. There were also several frigates and torpedo boats. Directly smashed to pieces!

In the zoomed-in picture, large and small hulls, armor, and human bodies rolled and scattered in all directions, quickly disappearing into the edge of the screen.

It's a disaster!

And the culprit who created this catastrophe is safe and sound!

At this time, looking at these tattered battleships, everyone's faces and eyes changed. Their tattered hulls did not change in the slightest, and they swooped through the pirate ship group in high spirits. Their energy cannons are pouring ferocious firepower. They, like a pack of wolves that have broken into the sheepfold, are firing indiscriminately!

Fang Xiang pursed her lips tightly, those tattered battleships. Fired right in front of her eyes. Secondary guns, rotating turrets, torpedoes, missiles, and bow guns! How is this possible, now, since their last salvo of main guns. It's less than a minute!

Fang Xiang couldn't believe her eyes.

What does this mean? This means that this damn fleet not only has a speed far beyond the mainstream destroyers of Salga, has an incomparably strong hull, a terrifying and effective alternative combat method, but also has advanced rapid charging technology and a group of elite crews.

They were premeditated, from the timing of their appearance, the shape of the ships, the timing of the firing of the cannons, the route of the assault and the speed of everything. It's all premeditated!

This group of crooks deceived everyone! The obscenity of the behavior. Make somebody's blood boil! Even with a hostile stance against the pirate fleet, Fang Xiang couldn't adjust his angry emotions - the flower of the Salga Navy actually believed all this honestly!

Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger! This is a bunch of extremely cunning bastards!

In the anger, Fang Xiang was a little frightened. She couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if she met this kind of opponent for the first time. These guys after the defeat of the pirates. What will happen to the Brave?

"Send a message to the Brave and try to stay as close to the pirate base as possible. If the pirate fleet gets entangled, find a way out of the battle and capture the base first! Fang Xiang suddenly ordered. She has never forgotten her duty, and she is constantly analyzing as she watches the battle footage.

She couldn't expect good people in this tattered fleet. She was on her own.

And now, it's a good opportunity.

Judging by the picture, the tattered fleet has now completely gained the upper hand. They rushed directly into the tail of the pirate fleet to strangle, and the pirate fleet, at this time, did not have a single battleship that could complete the turn. At least for a few minutes, the battered battleship was unstoppable.

However, Fang Xiang keenly observed that the pirate fleet had not completely lost its ability to resist! Because, the Polar star cruiser and three armed merchant ships, which were at the forefront of the formation, did not suffer any losses. Now, Polaris is turning around under the escort of armed merchant ships, and they have abandoned their attack on the Brave in favor of trying to rescue the ships behind them. And their attention also shifted to the leading tattered battleship.

As long as the Brave shows its intention to break away from the battle at this time, then the battle situation is likely to be a situation where two dogs bite each other's tails.

This is the only chance for the Longbow Fleet not to put its hope on others!

I have to say that Fang Xiang's conducting art has extremely high attainments. In an instant, she grasped the key to the battle. And the battle situation is also evolving in the direction she deduced.

The bandit fleet and the Demon's Eye are twisted together.

Except for the Arctic cruiser at the front of the formation, three armed merchant ships, and one plundering ship, most of the other pirate warships have been destroyed. A small number of intact ones are in chaos, and they cannot escape the fate of being destroyed.

The bandit warships bombarded the pirate warships beside them one after another, as if they were in a no-man's land. Civilian ships equipped only with armor and paper-thin energy shields could not resist the close reach of the bandit fleet.

Time passed minute by minute, and the warships of the pirate regiment also turned into floating wreckage in space one by one. This killing continued until, under the cover of other warships, the Polar Star cruiser completed its turn.

Looking at the North Star, who had already aimed his main gun at the broken cruiser, Fang Xiang's heart didn't know whether it was smug or bitter.

Although these tattered warships actually saved the Fenyong, Fang Xiang did not dare to take risks.

In her opinion, fate must be in her own hands!

"Sister Xiang, look!" The exclamation of a female staff officer rang in Fang Xiang's ears.

Fang Xiang turned her head, and the screaming person was a man named Cecilia. Pasque's round-faced girl. is also Fang Xiang's usual friend. At this moment, Cecilia's crescent-shaped eyes were already wide.

Fang Xiang followed her gaze and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling porthole on the left side of the bridge.

A reconnaissance ship with a round belly and like a rugby ball had appeared not far from the battleship at some point.

"I have energy!" It flashed a simple light signal and flew around outside.

Fang Xiang was stunned all of a sudden.

"I have energy!"

"I have a lot of energy!"

Damn scout ships, coquettishly stringing up and down, jumping up and down, Sundays and Sundays, some people get married, some people have a big birthday. This chapter was rushed out at night.
