Chapter XXXVIII
Sister Pao's fate was miserable.
The huge wealth that was about to arrive overwhelmed her mind, and she didn't have the slightest defense against Qi Yiming's black hand on her.
When Qi Yiming approached the Heavy Artillery, he ordered the Xuefeng and the Redemption to fire at the Heavy Artillery.
Sister Cannon didn't have time to send any distress signal before she was sunk by the dense barrage of two destroyers.
She herself was vaporized by a burst laser from the Snowpeak, which pierced through the bridge's obscuring armor.
Looking at the wreckage of the heavy artillery, Qi Yiming shook his head and ordered the gun commander of the Xuefeng: "As long as the lifeboat is fired from the heavy artillery, it will be destroyed." ”
Qi Yiming knew that this was not the time for compassion to overflow, and a tail would be left if it was not handled cleanly.
Maybe it will bring him endless trouble in the future, so Qi Yiming can only be cold-blooded.
After dealing with the tail, Qi Yiming ordered the Xuefeng to approach the Redemption and prepare for the combination of the two warships.
"Warning...... A large number of fleets broke away from the jump...... "Xuefeng's shipboard intelligence brain suddenly shouted a loud warning.
Qi Yiming stood in the bridge and saw that more than 30 warships suddenly appeared 500,000 KM away from the Xuefeng.
The commander of the battleship on the opposite side listened...... You're already surrounded...... Ahhh......h ”
After discovering the appearance of the Imperial Fleet, Qi Yiming knew that it was impossible for this matter to end so easily today.
Ignoring the warning of the commander of the Imperial fleet, Qi Yiming directly initiated the combination procedure with the Redemption.
After receiving the combined command, the two warships quickly approached.
"Please select a combination mode ......"
"Two-ship formation mode ......"
After Qi Yiming proposed the mode selection in the shipboard intelligent brain, he did not choose to let the Xuefeng directly combine with the Salvation.
"Chen Cheng, you and Hao Chenqi go to the Guardian and bring enough energy blocks...... When the Guardian and the Redemption are combined, you are the temporary captain of the combination, and the new combination will still be called the Redemption. ”
The two were ordered to leave quickly.
A few minutes later, the Snow Peak disintegrated.
The Guardian and the Explorer were out of combo mode at the same time.
The Scout did not fly far after leaving its original position.
Instead, it moved to the underside of the Inazuma under the towing beam fired by the Inazumum, and the secondary guns on the hull were restored to two triple main guns.
One flies back to the Defender, while the other flies to the bow gun of the Inazuma with the towing beam, and recombines with the bow gun to form a front and rear knapsack gun.
The main gun in the stern of the Exploration also landed in the position of the main gun in the stern of the Lightning, which was also a front and rear knapsack main gun.
Immediately afterward, the Probe was firmly embedded in the armored cavity that had been specially formed for her in the Inazuma's abdomen.
The Snow Peak was once again transformed, becoming a destroyer with 12 secondary guns and two front and rear knapsack triple guns.
At the same time, the Guardian and the Redemption completed the combination in the same way.
It's just that the main gun in the bow of the new Salvation, the upper part is the special main gun used to fire nanobots and transmit energy, and the lower part is the triple main gun, and her secondary gun has been increased from the original 16 to 22.
The two battleships quickly formed a two-ship formation after completing the combination, with the Redemption in the rear, in a state of being protected by the Snow Peak.
When the captains of the Imperial fleet saw this scene in front of them, they all made a lot of noise in the fleet channel.
"This is a battleship that can be combined at will?"
"Is this a showmanship? What about combinations? How effective it is not yet ......"
"Don't make any noise." Dorant stopped everyone's quarrel in time: "Attention ships, the two cruisers maneuver to the enemy ship plane, and go up in order according to the rank of the battleship, forming a trapezoidal array. ”
Although in the face of the strange changes of the Snow Peak and the Redemption, the Imperial fleet still acted quickly, completing the reorganization of the front in a few minutes, and slowly approaching Qi Yiming's two-ship formation.
"Redemption...... The secondary guns fired at full force to provide fire support for the ship, and the main guns fired at will. Qi Yiming was not panicked, he could single-handedly pick up a cruiser-level full fleet when he didn't have the Redemption, and now with the help of the Redemption, he could take out this imperial fleet.
After entering a distance of 450,000 km, the imperial fleet launched a series of missiles, and the number was as high as thousands.
Qi Yiming roughly calculated that the number of missiles had exceeded the upper limit of what Xuefeng and Salvation could intercept.
"The Redemption locks on the ship and turns on the remote maintenance system." Qi Yiming decisively ordered.
Although the Guardian has lost the powerful energy support of the Inazumum, the Redemption has enough energy blocks on it, and the energy consumption of the remote maintenance unit has been optimized, and the durability of the repair is greatly enhanced.
When the Empire's missile rain came into range of the secondary guns of the Snow Peak formation, the two battleships opened fire with full force.
The Snow Peak has turned on all the power furnaces in the ship, continuously providing abundant energy for the secondary guns.
The dense rain of missiles was instantly hit head-on.
Each laser beam can burn two or three missiles in an instant, but the firepower projected by the Imperial fleet at one time is too dense, and the Snow Peak can only intercept most of the missiles even with the help of the Redemption.
The missiles that passed through the defense network swooped directly at Qi Yiming's two battleships.
In order to protect the Redemption, the Snow Peak had to block the missile's flight trajectory under the command of Qi Yiming.
"26% armor damage, 7% structural damage......" The ship's intelligent brain faithfully reported the damage to the battleship, and the Xuefeng suffered heavy damage in just one round of attacks.
"I wipe ...... Why is it so violent? Qi Yiming burst into a foul mouth.
Then he came to his senses.
What businessman in the world is the most black-hearted? Arms dealers, of course......
The Xuanwu galaxy is a broken place where you want nothing, you can't assemble a battleship yourself, you can only buy it everywhere.
The arms dealers were afraid of being eaten up by the battleships they sold, so it was natural that they sold the monkey version of the battleships.
Against Qi Yiming's Xuefeng, he didn't have an advantage, and coupled with the generation difference, it was difficult for Qi Yiming to lose.
And today he is facing an empire with a complete arms production line, and the combat effectiveness is certainly not the same.
"The monkey version of the battleship kills people......" Qi Yiming couldn't help but wail.
But even so, Qi Yiming's heart is not false. Behind the Snow Peak is the Salvation Number, which is known as the wet nurse.
As soon as the Snow Peak was attacked, the Salvation activated the remote maintenance system.
Qi Yiming could clearly see the Xuefeng's injury information panel, and the value of armor integrity was rapidly recovering at a rate of 2% per second.
In other words, by the time the next round of attacks from the Imperial fleet arrived, the Snowpeak would have almost recovered as before.
Of course, Qi Yiming couldn't just be beaten and not fight back.
The longer the battle lasts, the more advantageous it is for the two sides to align themselves with each other.
