Chapter 462: Panic
Receiving the news, Yang Yi was also taken aback.
Ten Shadow Ships launched an attack, and it was a successful success, destroying a total of seventeen transport ships and severely damaging six of them, killing at least three legions of Lei Ling officers and soldiers. It's just that what happened next was completely unexpected.
Whether it was Otis who didn't make it clear when he gave the order, or those female warriors on the Shadow Ship were mistaken, after successfully attacking the Lei Ling Clan's transport fleet, the ten Shadow Ships did not evacuate at full speed, but lured out the warships in the Lei Ling Clan's fleet, and stopped retreating after the enemy ships caught up, and turned to engage the enemy ships, and the battle site was only millions of kilometers away from the Lei Ling Clan's fleet.
On the battlefield of space, this distance is definitely not too far.
Ten Shadow Ships against the Thunderling Clan's fleet, which had hundreds of warships, and the transport fleet with hundreds of escort ships, several of which were capital ships.
Isn't that a joke?
It's just that when Yang Yi received the news, the battle had already started.
Although in front of the small warships of the Lei Ling Clan, the ten Shadow Ships did not fall behind, but this situation obviously could not be maintained for a long time. No matter how advanced the Shadow Ship is, the Thunder Ling Clan's warships are not bad, and they will definitely be able to win with a huge numerical advantage in the end.
What's more, as long as the battle continues, the enemy will be able to recognize the Shadow Ship.
What kind of impact it will have, Yang Yi is not clear, and he has not thought about it.
Only one thing is certain, after discovering that it was the Shadow Ship that launched the attack, the relationship between the Lei Ling Clan and the Weaver Star Clan came to an end.
Of course, that's not all.
The Wanluo War Emperor has already joined forces with Kutum, even if he doesn't tear his face now, after the Weaver Clan Legion reaches the North Fourth District, it will cause the two top civilizations to turn their faces.
The key thing is that when Wanluo Zhanhuang received the news. Will there be an order to destroy Slag Star?
You must know that there are hundreds of Lei Ling Clan's warships outside the Slag Star, and there are several capital ships among them, as long as the Wanluo War Emperor gives an order, any one of the capital ships can destroy the Slag Star. At that time, even if Yang Yi ordered a retreat. It may not be possible to get out safely.
To put it bluntly, revealing one's identity now will do more harm than good.
It's just that Yang Yi can't care so much.
Ten Shadow Ships launched an attack, successfully diverting the enemy's attention, at least for the time being, without worrying about the Thunderling fleet.
After receiving the news, Yang Yi asked Carlson to stop the communication interference, to be precise, to open the communication channel between the legion and the fleet headquarters.
As soon as the message is received that the fleet is under attack and there are enemy warships nearby. The Fourth Army Corps outside the barracks command center would stop attacking. At least some time will be spent preparing for the attack from the enemy ships, and all Yang Yi needs now is time.
It's a pity that the development of the battle situation is not the same as Yang Yi's expectations.
On the space battlefield, the battle is becoming more and more intense.
Although the difference in performance made it difficult for the small warships of the Lei Ling clan to be helpless against ten Shadow ships, with a huge numerical advantage, especially after the arrival of the second batch of small warships, the Lei Ling fleet quickly blocked the entire combat area. Surrounded ten Shadow Ships.
Besieged by more than two hundred small warships, ten Shadow Ships would definitely not take advantage.
To know. These are the warships of the Lei Ling Clan.
Even if the performance of these warships is far inferior to that of the Shadow Ship, it will not be much worse, and it can be regarded as the most advanced small warship in the Galactic Alliance. If the ten Shadow Ships retreat in advance, there would be no problem in getting rid of these enemy ships, but after being surrounded by enemy ships, it would not be so easy to get out. What's more. The captains of the ten Shadow Ships, the ten female warriors arranged by Otis, did not even think of retreating.
It's not that Otis didn't make it clear when she gave the order, but that they would be wrong.
According to their understanding, the attack on the Lei Ling Clan fleet was to divert the enemy's attention. It is also necessary to find a way to hold back the enemy's forces and leave the enemy to take care of himself. As a result, after the successful sneak attack, the ten Shadow Ships did not retreat, but deliberately lured the enemy ships out. Even after being besieged by enemy ships, the ten female samurai did not think of retreating, but decided to fight the enemy ships to hold back the enemy's forces.
Soon, one of the Shadow ships was hit.
Although the damage is not serious and can be completely ignored, it means that in the following battle, the performance advantage of the Shadow Ship has been offset by the enemy's superiority in strength.
With the second Shadow Ship shot, the tide of battle begins to turn.
It must be admitted that the officers and men of the fleet of those Lei Ling clans, especially the captains, are not of a bad breed, not only are they bold, but they are also proficient in the tactics of warship combat.
From the beginning to the end, only fifty small warships were engaged in the exchange of fire with the Shadow Ships, maintaining the advantage of five to one, while the other small warships all remained outside the battlefield, some in rotation, others slowly but surely compressing the engagement space by searching the encirclement. As the space for engagement shrinks, the Shadow Ship's maneuverability advantage is difficult to exploit, and it will be attacked by several small warships at almost any time.
Obviously, this is the best way to give full play to the superiority of forces.
Not to mention that the Shadow Ship is only a small warship, even if it is the capital ship of the Weaver Clan, it is difficult to use it when it is besieged by many small warships.
In just ten minutes, ten Shadow Ships were shot and damaged.
At this time, the third group of small warships of the Lei Ling clan had already arrived and immediately joined the battle.
Obviously, the Thunder Ling Clan's fleet officer who was in command of the battle felt that the time was ripe for the final blow, and with thirty times the enemy's superiority in strength, it was enough to take out ten Shadow Ships in one fell swoop.
It's just that this guy ignores a problem.
This is a Shadow Ship, not an ordinary small warship.
Don't forget, the Shadow Ship is a battleship of the Female Samurai Guard, and only the Female Samurai can control the Shadow Ship, while the Female Samurai have their own space fighters.
With no other choice, ten female samurai used their last move.
Ten space fighters, even if they can't change the balance of forces between the two sides, are enough to delay for a while.
In fact, in this case, that is, hundreds of small warships are gathered on a small battlefield, and there is not enough space for any one battleship to maneuver. It's the ideal battlefield to make space fighters useful, because they are not only much smaller than warships, but also more flexible.
What's more, the space fighters of the female warriors are extraordinary.
The ten space fighters that suddenly appeared almost penetrated the encirclement of the Lei Ling fleet.
Seeing this scene, Nethan was dumbfounded.
Although as early as hundreds of years ago. Nethan took the position of fleet commander and no longer fought on the front lines, but before that he was a pilot of space fighters, and he flew space fighters to fight the enemy many times in the Fifth Greenwich War, and he also knew space fighters very well.
Nethan recognized it at a glance, it was the space fighter of the Weaver Clan's female warrior guards.
This space fighter is conspicuous, most notably because it has a separate core drive system that can be powered directly by the samurai who pilots it.
It is also this core drive system. This space fighter is endowed with super combat effectiveness.
It can be said that as long as the pilot is strong, this space fighter is as powerful as possible. If the pilot has an SSS-class small Origin Converter, the combat power of this space fighter is equivalent to that of an SSS-class capital ship, and the attack power that bursts out in certain environments is even higher than that of an SSS-class capital ship.
The point is, this is a space fighter that belongs to the female samurai guard, and only a female samurai can control it.
Now, Nethan has nothing to doubt. It was indeed the Weaver Clan's Shadow Ship that launched the attack. And it's helmed by a female samurai.
Of course, Nethan immediately thought of the Star Soul Empress.
Before making a decision. Nethan did an extremely important thing, that is, to report this discovery to the Wanluo War Emperor. It's just that in the battle report sent out, Nethan said one more sentence, that is, he concluded that the main fleet of the Weaver Clan, that is, the fleet commanded by the Star Soul Empress, had arrived at Slag Star.
The female samurai guard appears near Slag Star. And all ten Shadow Ships appeared, so would the Star Soul Empress be somewhere else?
At least as far as Nethan knew, there were only ten Shadow Ships in the Female Samurai Guard.
Although there were only ten female samurai piloting the space fighters to participate in the battle, the female samurai guards only had the Shadow Ship, so Nethan concluded that the entire female samurai guard was here. Other female warriors did not enter the battle. Maybe it's just not necessary for the time being, after all, ten space fighters are strong enough.
Since the female warrior guards are all here, the Star Soul Empress must be nearby.
As for the main fleet of the Weaver Clan, it obviously won't be anywhere else.
Immediately afterward, a message from a small battleship fighting on the front line came back, confirming Nethan's speculation.
"What is this? Wait, rewind the image. Stop, this is it, zoom in on this area, when did this space fighter appear? ”
Nethan asked several questions in a row, which made the staff staff scramble.
It's just that as soon as the image was enlarged, and it became clear, the staff officer's eyes widened.
It was a space fighter that had just appeared on the battlefield, and it had destroyed a warship in a devastating manner. What's more, this space fighter is completely different from the ten that appeared before, not only has a big difference in appearance, but also shows a stronger attack power.
"Here, zoom in on this area."
Under Neson's guidance, the staff officer locked his attention to the fuselage of the space fighter.
Seeing the badge displayed, Nethan gasped.
The staff officer didn't react immediately, but Nethan recognized it at a glance. It was the Empress's badge of the Star Soul, a status symbol that only the Empress could use.
It's a space fighter that belongs to the Star Soul Empress!
At this time, the flagship's optical brain also completed the analysis and gave the analysis results.
As Nethan speculated, it was indeed a space fighter belonging to the Star Soul Empress, and although it was a spare fighter, it was not important.
The Empress's fighter planes can only be piloted by the Empress, and only the Empress is qualified to use them.
That's the Star Soul Empress, definitely the Star Soul Empress!
"Send out the battle report immediately, quickly, immediately!"
Nesen dared to hesitate and immediately gave an order. The Wanluo War Emperor must be told immediately, and as for whether to retreat or not, that is still a secondary issue.
At this moment, a blinding light shot towards Nethan's flagship, and it was a deadly beam. (To be continued.) )
