The remaining sixteen starships of the "Shanfeng" squadron once again flew out of a distance of hundreds of millions of kilometers in a rapid rush, while the fleet of the Mars Alliance was always tightly behind, and the distance was only a million kilometers.

In the midst of such pursuits, the two sides were still constantly firing artillery fire, and the sky was filled with energy beams that filled the space of the fleet's millions of kilometers. Although Lin Feng only had a mere seventeen starships on his side, the ultra-high launch frequency kept them from being at a disadvantage. However, at such a long distance, even if it has been completely locked on, the probability of hitting is very low, after all, as long as there is a slight deviation in the angle of the shot, it will be the result of a difference of a millimeter, and besides, after a million kilometers of attenuation, such an energy impact cannot have much impact on the starship.

"Attention all! Immediately adjust the starship attitude and arrange it in a zigzag pattern! Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Feng issued an order towards the fleet. In such a situation, it is impossible for the fleet to reduce its speed to fight, and once the speed is reduced, the distance between the two sides will be reduced to a dangerous level in a very short time. Lin Feng didn't want the tragedy of the Rome to happen again, and at the same time, the low speed was also easy to make it very likely that the starship would be involved in the spatial disorder zone when the annihilation cannon was fired.

The fleet's long-term training really showed its effect at this time, and as soon as Lin Feng's order was issued, all the starships adjusted their distances very tacitly. According to the determination of the killing range of small annihilation cannons, the spatial disturbance zone formed by it is about ten kilometers in diameter, and the range of its influence reaches hundreds of kilometers. Perhaps this distance seems so insignificant in the vast universe, but if you take into account the difficulties in steering and subtle adjustment of flight attitude caused by the opponent's sailing speed, as well as the almost undetectable trajectory of the annihilation cannon, you can know what a terrible blow the dozens of annihilation cannons in the stern of these seventeen-star ships will inflict on the other party.

Through the monitoring system, seeing that his fleet had been neatly lined up, Lin Feng coldly ordered: "All attention, activate the aft annihilation cannon locking system!" ”

Seconds later, reports of the completion of the lock came from each ship. Lin Fengcai continued to order: "The speed of the ship remains the same!" The firing frequency of the shaped cannon remains the same! Attention to the annihilation positions! Launch all! ”

At the moment the order was given, the seventeen starships let out a slight tremor at the same time, and immediately, hundreds of energy beams silently shot out, heading straight for the huge fleet. And among these hundreds of energy beams, there are dozens of them that seem very subtle, and there is no dangerous aura at all. But it was precisely these few dozens of energy beams that made the other party thoroughly realize the horror of the "Mountain Peak" squadron.

The nearly eight hundred starships of the Martian Alliance are still persistently chasing the small fleet ahead. In their eyes, these dozen or so starships are already meat on their boards, as long as they can catch up, they have absolutely no chance of survival, although their own side will definitely have huge losses, but as long as they can destroy them, no matter how big the loss is, it is worth it.

"Commander, they've fired the Shaped Cannon again!"

The commander said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of? How much damage can that thin firepower do us? Keep chasing! I said that I want to bury them in the sea of stars, let them become space garbage! I'm going to avenge my brothers on those dozens of starships! ”

The commander's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, but in fact, he saw his situation very clearly. Now he is just riding a tiger, and he has to do so. Those old guys in the Mars Alliance are all a bunch of ruthless, mercenary hypocrites. If he returns triumphantly, he will naturally be warmly welcomed by them, and even rewarded him with countless great wealth. But the current situation is that a huge fleet of nearly a thousand starships, after a round of fighting, actually destroyed the opponent with only a suicidal impact! And their own side paid a heavy price of nearly a hundred starships! Those old guys will never accept such a result! And if he returns here, he can imagine how miserable the end he will face will be! Therefore, he must not show cowardice at this time, he can only arouse everyone's hatred of the enemy, lead the fleet to pursue desperately, and then fight with it! As long as he can completely destroy the other party, even if all the starships under his command are all handed over to the battlefield, he can still get a slightly better result!

The fleet commander's voice was still echoing in people's ears, and that wave of energy beams had already reached the target. For this painless attack, all the people turned a blind eye, and did not even make the slightest evasive action.

But soon, they realize that something is wrong! Because, in the fleet, there are dozens of starships that suddenly and inexplicably appear on the hulls of a shining beam, which looks so striking in the dark universe. The light is obviously transmitted from the hull of the ship, but the question is, the hull of the starship is completely enclosed, how can there be a beam? Starships that rely on pulsed wave detection and navigation don't need such primitive searchlights!

When people were amazed at this strange phenomenon, they were even more shocked. The beams of those starships are getting thicker and thicker, and with the beam as the center, the entire hull is rapidly disappearing! Yes, it's disappearing! The huge starship seemed to be swallowed by something, and in just ten or so seconds, it disappeared without a trace! There's not even a hint of their existence!

"This ......" Everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded, and their brains couldn't react at all. What happened to these starships, how could they have disappeared so eerily? Could it be that this is the secret weapon of the small fleet in front of you? If that were the case, it would be terrifying to be able to make such a huge starship disappear so cleanly in an instant, leaving not even a single residue behind!

Of course, if this assumption is true, then many questions can be figured out, for example, the other party only has twenty starships, and dares to challenge a fleet fifty times their own number, if it is not for some support, would they dare to take such a risk? Unless the commander of the opposing fleet is a completely brain-dead person!

Of course, this is only hypothetical, and until it is confirmed, the game of this chase will have to continue.

With just one round of attacks, this huge starship battle group suddenly became much thinner. The fact that nearly forty starships were lost again inexplicably also made the fleet commander fall into extreme shock, if the loss continues, the eight hundred or so starships led by himself are very likely to be wiped out! What to do? If you continue to pursue, you will undoubtedly go to death! But if he returns to Mars like this, those in power in the alliance will definitely not let him go! At that time, there is still no escape from the end of death!

After thinking about it, since the pursuit is death, and the return voyage is also death, it is better to fight a way out in the mortal situation! He gritted his teeth, relentlessly, and continued to pursue, as long as he could get close to the other party, he could repeat the old trick, desperately losing hundreds of starships, and he could also crash these hateful opponents!

However, this commander is not an ordinary person, and being able to be entrusted with important tasks shows that his command ability is also very good in the Mars Alliance. After a little thought, he decisively ordered: "All climb a thousand kilometers!" Increase your speed to 20% of the maximum speed limit! In his opinion, the opponent's secret weapon should also belong to the type of energy weapon, and its trajectory must be a straight line, as long as these trajectory is avoided, the loss can be reduced. And such a powerful weapon, its charging time will inevitably be very long, take advantage of the opponent's charging time, try to shorten the distance between the two sides, use their numerical advantage, maximize their strength, of course, it is more ideal to be able to destroy some more.

The starships that received the order quickly climbed to their respective positions. But what made them even more frightened was that in the process of climbing, the fleet lost eleven starships again. It turned out that these starships had just hit the chaotic zone formed by the annihilation cannon in the air! In front of the space disorder zone with the power to destroy everything, even the strongest starship materials became like tofu, and some of them were even split in half in an instant! All the people and things in the ship didn't escape even a bit, they were swept into the chaotic space and quickly disappeared!

All those who witnessed this scene could not help but feel a feeling of extreme despair, and they sat there as if they had been transformed into a stone statue. No one thought that the process of the battle, which was originally in the hands of victory, would be so tragic and the scene would be so weird. More than 100 starships, with hundreds of millions of officers and soldiers on board, disappeared out of thin air, and no trace was found!

Suddenly, one of the captains let out a hysterical roar: "Quick, return!" I'm going back! I'm not going to fight the devil anymore! I'm going back! The voice is full of fear and helplessness!

This roar woke up the other captains who were still in a sluggish state, as if they had suddenly come to their senses, and almost all of them let out the same roar in the communication system.

"Commander, look ......" A staff officer next to him also came back to his senses, his face was full of fear, and he looked at the commander beside him, with a trace of expectation in his eyes. How he longed for the commander to give the order to return immediately! After all, being strangled by the power of space into the most primitive state of matter is definitely not the destination that anyone wants.

The fleet commander didn't want to return immediately, but could he do so? He shuddered at the thought of the cruel punishment used by the high rulers of the alliance against the defeated generals. Perhaps, just dying in battle like this is also a kind of happiness!

He glared at a pair of eyes, his eyes fierce and gloomy, "If you don't want to endure the inhuman torture methods of the Alliance, if you still want your wife and children to live in peace, instead of being confiscated of all your property and driven out of the city to mine in that hellish mining area, then keep fighting!" Even if all the starships are destroyed and all the people here are dead, as long as your loved ones can live well, it will be enough! ”

It was only at the point of the fleet commander that everyone came to their senses. For hundreds of years, these planets have been under the absolute control of the family, and although they still maintain the political system of the Earth Federation, in fact, the constitution of the Federation has long been shelved by them, and the so-called equality and freedom are only available to a very small number of people. Of course, the practices of these families seem to be understandable, as in many stages of human history, on these planets, property is the most important factor in determining a person's social status and living environment. If you want to live in a safe and comfortable city, you must have enough money to buy a house, pay all kinds of taxes, and buy all the necessities of life...... However, because of the shortage of resources, all of which require a lot of money, so the people who can live in the city can be said to have unique conditions and are the elite of human society. But if you have a fortune and become destitute, there are only two ways to go, either simply cut yourself off and avoid more suffering, or declare bankruptcy and forgive all debts. But the bankrupt and their family members have to leave the city and move into the most difficult mining areas on the planet. The so-called mining areas are actually all mines left over from the exploitation of resources, there are no safety protection facilities, no clean water sources, no basic health and medical institutions, no educational institutions, all the things that modern society should have, there is no there! Because there is no basic order, these mining areas are plagued with epidemics and violence, and all the ugliest phenomena of human beings can be seen here. It can be said that the mining area on the planet is the slum of the interstellar age, a hell that exists on earth!

At the thought of this, everyone shuddered, if they returned like this, the punishment of the alliance was undoubtedly terrible. They will lose their jobs and the basic breadwinners of their families. As a result, they will soon go bankrupt and their families will be forced to leave the wonderful city to live in the mines. And in the mines, how long can they survive? The final outcome is a corpse on the street! And if they all die on the battlefield, they will be the heroes of the Alliance, and their families will receive a generous pension, which is enough for a family to live in the city for decades!

All the people are sober. Now is never the time to retreat, and retreat means a catastrophe more terrible than death! In their eyes, the fear has disappeared, replaced by indomitable determination, the courage to die!

"Is there anything else you want to return? If not, then give me a desperate fight! Even if it's the last one, don't stop your engine! The fleet commander said coldly.

The crowd was silent. But it was not a silent silence of fear, but a fearless silence in the face of death.

"Good! Now that we have all decided to fight to the death, let's use our lives to pave a path to victory! Now, listen to my orders, the fleet is reorganized in formation, with the flagship as the center, the square formation, and all the ships are marching in unison! Take turns attacking and make sure our attacks don't stop! ”

"Remember, this is a decisive charge, and we will not stop our charge for the loss of any starship! So pray for your good luck in surviving! ”

"Now, immediately increase your speed to 130 percent of the maximum speed limit! Catch up! Destroy them! ”

The fleet commander issued a series of orders in a deep voice. After several losses, nearly 700 starships quickly adjusted their formation, forming a huge square attack formation, and then, all of them raised their speed to the limit of what their engines could withstand at the same time, and rushed towards the small fleet millions of kilometers away at a speed close to light.

At the same time, each starship began to attack the enemy in front of it at a rate of one round per second, according to the numbering of the shaped cannons. Although the number of shelling per round was greatly reduced, it ensured the continuation of the attack and largely suppressed the already sparse artillery fire of the "Peak" squadron.

And on the Atlantis, Lin Feng also felt a little pressure on the change of the opponent's tactics. If you can't effectively reduce the number of the opponent's starships before the opponent's full line approaches, once you enter the close-range entanglement again, it will definitely be a big trouble for your small fleet of only seventeen starships!

"Instantly strengthen the Energy Shield! Increase the rate of fire of the Annihilation Cannon! Be sure to suppress the opponent's attack! Although Lin Feng was a little nervous, he didn't have the slightest fear, as long as he didn't let them enter within 100,000 kilometers, there would be no danger to his starship.

Both sides seem to know that this battle has reached the most critical moment, and whoever can let the opponent's momentum be suppressed will be able to hold on to the end. Therefore, the commanders of both sides are trying their best to perfect their tactics and strive to inflict maximum damage on the other side.

In this space, which is not very far away from the solar system, two human starfleets began a desperate fight, this fight, on the surface, is just the ultimate collision of two regimes, two forces, and two ideas, and from a deeper level, it is actually about the future fate and future of mankind. If the side with the numerical advantage wins, it will mean that humanity has a high chance of being extinct by the invading alien creatures in the near future! To defeat them, we must rely on more advanced technology and the sincere cooperation of all mankind, so Lin Feng must persevere, and he must win the final victory! (To be continued.) )
