Chapter 18 The big fish is unhooked

In the depths of the void, Qianye and Song Zining stood on the deck of the battle patrol, looking at the battle situation in the distance. The behemoth lurked silently in the darkness of the void, waiting for the moment of attack.

It is difficult to send scouts in the void, and most of the so-called reconnaissance machines use the principle of force feedback and space transmission to receive one-way information within a certain range, or uninterrupted active scanning, to remove interference from the received information, and then analyze and restore it. However, the Void environment is complex, and the accuracy of this kind of reconnaissance result has always been an extremely jumpy number. Therefore, only the visual distance of the strong is the most reliable.

The location where Qianye designated to stay was the maximum distance of his extraordinary vision, supplemented by his true vision, and the situation on the battlefield in front of him was in full view, and he was basically not disturbed by the void fluctuations caused by the impact of the Force.

Song Zining didn't have such a far visual distance, but he looked into the distance, but there was a faint halo on the palm of his right hand, and when he looked closely, the constantly rolling light actually formed an image of air combat.

Qianye was a little curious, "You don't look like a heavenly machine, can the prosperity of the world still refract reality?"

Song Zining said incomprehensibly: "The world is prosperous, the world is prosperous, and what is embodied is of course true." ”

Qianye was just about to say something, but suddenly his expression froze, and he was slightly moved, and he saw the battleship fighting in the center of the Eternal Night Fleet. The flagships of the Imperial fleet all have special emblems, and the huge and clear blue-gold snake logo on the hull means that the battleship belongs to the Praetorian Fleet, and is the flagship of the entire fleet.

Qianye suddenly said: "You say, will the right minister be on that battleship?"

"Yes. Song Zining replied without hesitation.

"What is he doing here, sending him to death?"

"If his flagship hadn't been down, then this would be the fastest way to defeat the Eternal Night Fleet at the lowest cost. However, the price is also high, and even if he wins the entire battle, he is likely to die in battle. ”

"It doesn't seem quite like his style. Aren't all of these senior officials of the DPRK and Central Committee very afraid of death?" asked Qianye.

Song Zining grasped his fist on his right, and the light overflowed from his fingers, "Who can climb to this position, who will be incompetent? They may have many things to fear, death is of course one of them, but it may be the last item in the list." So once they think clearly and feel that death is the price that must be paid, then they will not be afraid of death, let alone death in battle. ”

Qianye savored it and felt that it made sense. It's just that this doesn't match the rumors he usually hears, and he always feels a little awkward.

Song Zining knew what he was thinking, and said: "Maybe there are many people in the court who have been in high positions for a long time and have forgotten their original intention of striving for progress back then, but that is definitely not the right minister. As far as I know, this person is extremely self-disciplined, and his ordinary life is unusually simple, and he is simply a little shabby. It's just some pomp and circumstance, and it's just to maintain the dignity of the right phase. Such a person will seek great things, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends. So whoever says that he is afraid of death, it will not be him!"

After hearing this, Qianye only used one word to evaluate: "Crazy." ”

"He's crazy, in a sense. But if we measure by the same standard, how can you and I not be crazy?" Song Zining said.

Qianye pointed to the battlefield in front of him and said, "What now? Do you want to use Valhalla?"

Song Zining shook his head, "Valhalla is your last hole card, don't use it until you have to......"

Before he could finish his sentence, a scorching fireball suddenly lit up in the void in front of him, which could be seen from this distance without any auxiliary equipment. It was an imperial frigate on the edge of the battlefield that was hit, and the opponent's main gun was so powerful that the entire battleship exploded directly, and even the burning process was avoided.

A moment later, the huge hull under the feet of Qianye and Song Zining shook slightly, and it was the Force storm generated by the explosion that had arrived. With such a distance, the huge hull of the battle cruiser and the most advanced stable flight system were all shocked and shaken, which shows the fierceness of the explosion. Needless to say, none of the people on the ship could escape.

Two more fireballs appeared, and two Imperial frigates were blown up again.

The charge of the Imperial fleet was so fierce that it disrupted its opponents as well as its own position, so that some of the small, fast-moving frigates overaccelerated and rushed to the front of the battle formation. Although three battleships exploded, the momentum of the Imperial fleet continued to rise, and the impact became more violent, and all the crew members were red-eyed, desperately pouring artillery fire on the enemy's heads.

"Attack!" Chiya ordered.

Song Zining was taken aback and said, "Now is not the time!"

"When is that right?" Chiya raised her voice rarely.

"There may be backup ambushes on the side of the Eternal Night, at least we have to make sure they have no other back-up before we can attack. Song Zining couldn't help frowning, "And we don't know about the plot of the right prime minister yet, if he really ...... on the flagship"

"Actually, it's just that when the empire and the eternal night consume each other to a certain extent, we will appear again, right?" Qianye said to Song Zining's original intention.

Song Zining did not deny it, and said in a deep voice: "Qianye, war is not a battle, it is like this. If we don't try our best to fight for the most favorable environment, we will lose. ”

"Attack!" Chiya repeated the order, and his voice was heard in the command room behind him. The captain of the dark fire did not dare to disobey, and immediately began to dispatch, ordering the battleship to speed up and approach the battlefield.

Song Zining let out a sigh of relief and didn't try to stop it again.

The battle intensified, and warships began to explode on both sides, and burning battleships were everywhere. In the melee, the flagship of the right phase miraculously supported itself and broke through the Eternal Night Front, where it joined the Imperial fleet.

At this moment, its hull is full of fire, and the crew who are not afraid of death can be seen running on the outer wall wearing improvised protection, trying to extinguish the fire in some vital parts. The flagship had no intention of withdrawing from the battle and was still firing constantly.

From the bridge, red and blue lights flashed alternately, which was a common light command of the Imperial fleet: Fight to the end!

Behind the Eternal Night Fleet, an elegant and swift huge battleship quietly appeared, quickly occupying a favorable position. What remained in the rear were either small ships or, of particular importance, large ships. When they found out that an Imperial Warpatrol suddenly appeared behind them, they were all in a panic and scrambled to turn around.

Qianye and Song Zining had already walked onto the bridge, and everyone below was busy, sending out orders one after another, and information was collected from everywhere.

Qianye whispered, "I'm sorry, I really can't watch the soldiers die like this. It's one thing to be right, it's another thing to be the cornerstone of the army. ”

Before he could finish speaking, the entire battleship shook violently, and a ball of fire was thrown at the Eternal Night Fleet in the distance, smashing on a destroyer, and instantly blowing half of its tail away.

Song Zining was just silent.

After the roar of the main guns, the entire battle patrol began to turn, aiming its side at the Eternal Night Fleet, and this time more than a dozen small streams of fire flew out. The battle cruiser continued to rotate, then the stern main gun, and then the secondary gun on the other side.

The entire ship rotated, changing positions while the fire continued. This is a tactic that can only be used by this kind of cutting-edge battle cruisers, and other warships are not stable enough, move and fire, and the accuracy has long been in the sky.

In a round of bombardment, the battle patrol directly killed a destroyer, distorted the formation of the rear team of the eternal night, and many shells landed on a Grand Duke-class ship. However, the ship was extremely well defended, and it had been hit by several ballistas, and only two or three small fires had started, and it was almost extinguished.

The Grand Duke of the Dark Race-class battleship is larger than the Imperial battleship and comparable to the Mother Warship. It's nearly twice as big as the battle patrol where Thousand Nights is. If the two go head-to-head, the Battle Patrol becomes the only fleeing prey.

Of course, the Dark Fire Captain will not attack the battle position where the Grand Duke class battleship is located, and after the full firepower is released, the battle patrol will draw a beautiful arc with agility, and it will accelerate away from the tangent.

Unexpectedly, instead of closing in, the scattered Eternal Night Fleet on the opposite side spread even more, giving up a large area of space. I saw that the dark Grand Duke battleship in front of me began to slowly turn around.

Song Zining's face changed slightly, jumped off the operation area, pushed away the captain, and operated the ship in person, while constantly issuing a series of orders. The speed of the battle patrol suddenly increased, and with unparalleled agility it circled around the tail of the Grand Duke Ship, and the hit rate of the cannon fire sent out directly soared.

However, the firepower of the battle patrol was still weak in front of the Grand Duke ship. The bombardment of the secondary artillery was not painful or itchy, and only the main artillery could blast out the wound, but it was not to the extent of hurting the muscles and bones. If it is a struggle, I don't know how long it will take to sink this Grand Duke ship. However, as long as it hits the opponent's main gun, the battle patrol will be seriously injured.

The Battle Patrol is mainly a safari, emphasizing both attack power and speed, and is not good at frontal combat. Song Zining was also forced to be helpless in doing so. The Eternal Night side didn't seem to despise their small fleet of sneak attacks at all, it was just a battle cruiser and a few frigates, and the other party actually didn't organize a local battleship counterattack first to test their firepower, but directly let the Dagong-class battleship press up.

However, the Dark Fire was under pressure, and the situation of the empire on the battlefield began to reverse. One Grand Duke ship of the Eternal Night Fleet was entangled, and the other was engaged in fierce battles with two battleships of the Empire, and the Eternal Night Fleet suddenly became a disadvantage, and warships were constantly destroyed.

However, under the desperate counterattack of the eternal night, the imperial fleet also suffered heavy losses for a while.

Qianye suddenly left the bridge and flew into the void. Everyone was taken aback, and rushing into the void at this time was like looking for death. But Qianye moved extremely fast, two flickered, and there was no one in sight.

Song Zining wanted to speak and stopped, but finally did not make a sound.

The battle was still raging, and every minute the battleship was on fire. Although the Eternal Night side has shown its decline, it still fights to the death, and the two Grand Duke's ships are even more ferocious, rampaging on the battlefield, almost invincible. Song Zining tried his best, but he still couldn't drag the big duke ship in front of him, and after it cut into the main battlefield, it only used the secondary gun on the other side to blow up three imperial warships.

The Warranger weaves through the sky under fire, and must avoid the main guns of the Grand Duke, as well as dodge other enemy fire and stray bullets everywhere. Even if Song Zining cultivated to the prosperity of the world, his mind was cautious, and his thoughts were like electricity, he did his best to deal with it, and he could only barely maintain it, and he really had no power to turn the tide of the war.

Seeing that it would take a heavy price to destroy the two Grand Duke ships, and with Song Zining's understanding of the Eternal Night Council, if the big men of this level did not retreat, it meant that most of them had something to rely on, and reinforcements from the dark race could appear at any time. The so-called main fleet of the empire is still in the rear, and its strength is far inferior to the forward fleet led by the right minister.

The flagship of the right phase was now in thick smoke, almost obscuring the entire hull. Although the open flames had been extinguished, the damage was shocking, and there were six or seven large holes in the hull with a diameter of several meters alone. The fact that the battleship has not exploded so far is a miracle. But it can be seen that its power has been damaged, the main gun has been blown away, and the secondary gun can not be used much, and it has lost its combat effectiveness, so it can only slowly retreat at a slow speed.

At this point, no one can say that the right phase is not.

At this moment, a little light suddenly lit up in the extreme distance of the void. It was only a faint star at first, but in the blink of an eye it became much brighter and flickered regularly. The penetrating bright yellow and lilac are the teleportation lights for the Eternal Night Fleet.

Reinforcements from the dark race have arrived!

Almost all of the captains of the Empire's battleships let out unwilling roars, either slamming their fists on the command platform or kicking off the seats next to them.

Falling short, that's what everyone thinks.

In just half an hour, no, even twenty minutes, it would be possible to destroy or at least severely damage two Grand Duke ships, and the combined fleet of Eternal Night, which was composed of two Grand Duke fleets and strengthened, would be wiped out.

The good situation is actually not easy to come by. If it weren't for the right minister taking the lead, desperately assaulting, and disrupting the deployment of the Eternal Night Fleet in one fell swoop, the Imperial Fleet would not have had the absolute upper hand so easily. But now, with the arrival of the Eternal Night reinforcements, the battle situation that the right minister risked his life in exchange for is about to be in vain.

The light in the distance became clearer at this moment, and the other party did not hide its whereabouts, clearly showing that it was a combined fleet formed by the merger of the three Grand Duke's fleets, and its strength was still above this Eternal Night Fleet in the fierce battle.

However, the Empire's so-called main fleet is only half of the reinforcements of the Eternal Night, and even if they can reach the battlefield in time, they are powerless to save the situation.

The Imperial fleet had no choice but to spit out the big fish that had been swallowed in its throat and withdraw from the battlefield.

Lin Shuai's plan was not smooth from the beginning.
