In the depths of the starry sky, the Swan and the White Feather entered the high orbit of a brown planet one after the other. The planet's surface is very barren, the atmosphere is extremely thin, the temperature difference is huge, there is no life at all, and there are no minerals worth mining. But there are faint signals on the planet, shooting into space intermittently.

The White Feather in the rear was responsible for guarding and monitoring the surrounding environment, and when it first received the signal, Zhao Jingsi felt very incredible, because this was a communication signal that was often sent by the surface base of the Tang Dynasty.

He immediately connected to Lin Xi's communication: "Colonel, how come we also have a ground base on this planet?

"There's no base up there, just a few signal generators. ”

"Signal generator?"

"Well, I put it. Calculate the time, the Federation should also come, if the guy who comes is not so powerful, it can just be a battle. ”

The two starships hovered in high orbit, turned off all external signals, and waited quietly. Lin Xi was very patient and let the fleet follow the planet, so that the day passed quickly.

They didn't have to wait long for a Federation hunting fleet to appear in the system, unscrupulously turning on the active search mode, constantly scanning the interior of the system.

By the time the Federation fleet appeared, Lin Xi had already taken refuge on the far side of the planet.

The Federation's hunting fleet consisted of one light cruiser and two destroyers, supported by three frigates. They swaggered into the planet's orbit, and one destroyer directly entered the planet with three frigates, searching the surface for a flight, looking for a planetary base. Only the light cruiser and another destroyer were left in the orbit to guard it.

When the Swan appeared with the rotation of the planet, several thick high-energy beams erupted and bombarded the Federation's light cruisers!

The captain of the Federation light cruiser was not surprised, and said loudly: "I have finally caught you! The whole ship turns and meets them head-on! Notify the planetary search force to return and copy their back path!"

After a series of battle orders, the captain looked at the high-energy beam that was shooting from the opposite side, and frowned slightly. The opponent's firepower was really too fierce, and its shield value dropped rapidly. The dynasty was not known for its beam weapons, but the light cruiser on the other side was very maverick, neither firing particle cannons nor launching missile torpedoes, but a beam cannon of water.

The captain of the Federation ship was experienced, and he immediately judged that the firepower on the opposite side was still above him, and it was much stronger. At this moment, the destroyer was being bitten by the opposing frigate, and it was not free to support the flagship.

However, the captain of the Federation was not afraid at all, and sneered: "With their little energy, they dare to play with the beam cannon?

The crew suddenly realized and laughed. The Ninth Fleet's predicament is well known, and it is said that there is so much power that the air conditioning is not turned on. The beam cannon is an absolute energy guster, and even the Federation starship doesn't dare to play like the other side. The Federation's heavy firepower ships are also equipped with two beam main guns, and the starship of the Tang Dynasty on the opposite side actually piled up three main guns in one go!

The two light cruisers pressed against each other's high-energy beams, quickly closing the distance, just like warriors in ancient times, you and I hurt each other with one sword.

On the Swan, Lin Xi sneered slightly, the other party had completely fallen into her trap. If there is anything that the Federation Starship Commander has in common, it is that he is completely intolerant of others using beam cannons to provoke him, which is after all the domain of the Federation that is unique to the galaxy.

In fact, the Swan's beam cannon is a generation behind the Federation's, and the power of a single cannon is only 80% of that of the opponent, so despite having three cannons, the total damage is actually only 20% higher than the opponent's. Lin Xi's real killer move is the shield.

The two sides exchanged bombardments for a full ten minutes, and the shields had bottomed out, even the energy reserves of the Federation Light Patrol were insufficient to support shield regeneration. Shields come and go, and when there is no shield, you can only rely on the hull to resist.

Sheng Tang was relatively ahead in the field of shield and armor technology, and there was still a little bit of shield left on the Swan at this time. This was also expected by the Federation Captain, who was waiting for the sudden collapse of the Swan.

By this time, 10 energy capsules had been used up on the Swan, which was equivalent to more than half of the energy reserves of the light patrol with full energy.

The White Feather actually fought back and forth with the destroyer on the opposite side, and the White Feather, which had strengthened its firepower to the limit, was already close to the opponent. However, although Zhao Jingsi is also considered to have experienced a hundred battles, his palms are full of sweat at this moment. This feeling of wanton squandering energy was unprecedented, and he was very unaccustomed to thinking about even firing the secondary cannon.

Eventually, the shields on the Swan suddenly disappeared, allowing the opponent's high-energy beams to begin slicing through the hull at will. The Federation Captain suddenly perked up and shouted, "Come closer! It's running out of energy, don't let it run!"

At this moment, inside the Swan, the crew of the energy chamber was struggling to push the rows of new energy capsules onto the card slot, and then snapped to death. Surge of energy rushes out!

The slender hull of the Swan lit up with a hazy light, and it actually raised its shield again against the opponent's beam cannon!

"How is that possible?!, it has more energy than us?" the Federation Captain's face changed drastically.

However, at this time, the battle has come to an end, and the distance between the two ships is only a dozen kilometers, and even if you want to run at this moment, it is too late. And the fleet below is still struggling to get rid of the planet's gravity, and it will take ten minutes to rush to the rescue.

Three minutes later, the hull of the Federation light cruiser was finally pierced, and a raging fire erupted from the inside out, and the flames spewed out hundreds of meters. The Swan brushed shoulders with its opponent and emerges from the flames like a phoenix bathing in flames.

The destroyer that was entangled with the White Feather saw that the situation was not good, turned around and ran, and even the flagship could not be cared for.

The flagship is obviously hopeless, the exploration fleet in the planet can't come back for a while, the destroyer is not a light cruiser, and I'm afraid it won't be able to hold out for even ten minutes under the super strike fire of the Swan.

As soon as the destroyer fled, it immediately put the exploration fleet below in a dilemma. With only one destroyer and three frigates, they also came to deliver food to the Swan. No one knows how much energy the Swan still has, but in any case, the destroyer is not willing to try it on its own.

The planetary exploration fleet below then turned around and fled into the depths of space.

The change came too suddenly, Zhao Jingsi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered to ask, "Chase?"

"Forget it. Lin Xi shook his head. The speed of the two sides is almost the same, although the Swan has a bit of an advantage, but it is also limited, I am afraid that it will have to chase outside the galaxy to catch up.

This battle destroyed the opponent's flagship in one fell swoop, and it was already a great achievement, so there was no need to take any more risks at this time.

Lin Xi sent a coordinate to Zhao Jingsi and said, "This is the next navigation point." ”

"There's another battle there?"

"No, there's a bunch of energy out there. ”
