The glow of countless main guns illuminated the command module of the Homeland as if it were daylight.

Cao Xingyu had already left the observation window, firstly, because the strong light outside was too strong and dense, and secondly, his heartbeat was too fast—he must admit that the feeling of seeing the close main cannon skimming his eyelids was no less than a bullet flying in front of his nose.

It can be said that several times, he can smell death.

Of course, since he dared to come here, he was naturally not afraid of death, but he was "intimidated" so continuously...... No one can stand it.

Standing back in front of the projection star map, Cao Xingyu judged the current situation at a glance.

After the battle began, the enemy they were pursuing, with more than 500 warships, had completed their turn, and together with the support fleet of the enemy's base camp, they were rapidly encircling the Homeland's current position.

Even though...... Under the intensive fire of the Ursa Minor, the Blue Star, the Silvermoon Kingdom, and the Canis fleet, the enemy's warships had been reduced by a third.

At this time, even a fool can see that the enemy is determined to kill the Homeland.

Pursing his lips, Cao Xingyu clenched his fists hard, he remained silent, just staring at Helco who was standing opposite him.

The supreme commander of this ship, as well as the more than fifty warships left in the current Blue Star fleet, is only one person, and that is Helko.

"Maneuver to the left, turn, secondary artillery activates."

"Pay attention to evading the enemy's main artillery."

"Activate the shield in five seconds."

At this time, Helko no longer had any expression on his face, but he was still giving orders in an orderly manner.

A moment later, the energy commander's voice came: "Roger, the shield energy will last for twenty seconds." ”

Hearing this voice, Helko's eyes finally froze for a moment.

But soon, he immediately decided: "Just open it!" Hasten! ”

Hearing Helko's order to open the shield to avoid the enemy's dense attacks, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace......

Then, Yang Wenzhi's voice also sounded quickly: "Lao Hai, the enemy's target is you...... You can evacuate. ”

"Understood, I was about to slip away." Helco smiled lightly: "But it's hard to say whether you can slip away." ”

As Helko's voice fell, the light curtain in front of him began to rise for a 20-second countdown.

- Since the enemy has placed the main target on the Homeland, all the firepower of the enemy ships has been concentrated on the Homeland.

Even though the robot connected to Aita was helping to control the attitude of the spaceship, there was a delay in the robot, and second, it was ...... The enemy's firepower was so dense that the Homeland often had to rely on advance shields to withstand the attack.

However, the shield needs energy after all.

20 seconds is the current "invincible" limit time of the Homeland.

"Hold on, the artificial jump generator is about to finish assembling, hold on for two more minutes, and Mars will enter the battlefield, and then you will have less pressure."

"Good!" Helko didn't say much, and quickly pressed the control button for shield termination.

Since there are still a few minutes, the shield must be spared.

However...... At the moment when the shield was terminated, a bright light rose again.

There was a violent tremor throughout the ship, and the sirens sounded mournfully.

At this moment, Helko's pupils instantly shrank to the extreme! He grabbed the armrest of the chair sharply, quickly straightened up, and immediately shouted, "Report the damage!" ”

Soon, a nervous and trembling voice sounded: "Lord Reiji, the eighth stage of the main armor has been destroyed, and the signal has been interrupted!" ”

Helco immediately looked at Cao Xingyu.

In fact, without waiting for Helke's command, Cao Xingyu regained his foothold at the first time.

Without thinking, he reflexively summoned the exterior modeling of the battleship that Aita had drawn based on the group's optical detectors, and then projected the image to the command hall.

In the stereoscopic projection, the incomparably huge Homeland, in the rear section of the two-thirds of the base point of the main control cabin at the head, a huge hole with a diameter of nearly one meter appeared near the top of the ship with a trace of firelight.

Compared to the huge Homeland, this small hole looks extremely inconspicuous, but it is extraordinarily eye-catching.

The light of the main cannon again swept through the viewing window.

After a second of silence, Helco took a deep breath.

"The various departments of the Homeland, the escape ship is prepared, and the rest of the rules are carried out as usual."

After finishing speaking, Helke's eyes looked at Cao Xingyu.

"Xingyu ......"

"I refuse."

Just a little stunned, Cao Xingyu shook his head firmly.

Helko exhaled slowly, then dropped his helmet and put on his military cap, which symbolized his war ceremony, and returned to the captain's seat.

"Get ready, fasten your seatbelts, put on your respirators, and get ready for the G-Force."

"Front Command, prepare to take command of the Sword of Vengeance fleet."

After giving the order, Helko looked at the small observation window in front of him, as if he could see with the naked eye that enemy ships were constantly burning and exploding under the combined attack of his own fleet and friendly fleets.

After a moment, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Fire!"

……

……

Ella Star, Base 31.

All the executives were already on their feet by this time.

When the battle is fought to this extent, everyone knows that the loss will definitely be lost - as of now, if the number of the enemy's main flagships is counted, then the enemy has eight hundred-ship fleets in the Sophie system.

Now, eight enemy fleets remain, eight flagships remain, and in terms of overall numbers, the number of warships on both sides has equalized.

Even, as the battle continues, the human warship ...... It will gradually gain the upper hand until it ...... They won the eventual victory.

But none of this matters anymore.

It is important that they destroy at least one enemy flagship.

"Fire, keep shooting! Can't let it run away! ”

"Aim for the head and tail to hit!"

Hall supported the conference table with his hands, and his whole body was like a mad man, and he was full of pride, as if he himself had become a peerless hero in the classics who rushed into the enemy line single-handedly and would take the head of the enemy general.

Although the enemy's flagship had not yet caught fire, and the engines were still spewing material at an accelerated pace, everyone knew that the ship had been hit at least four times before.

And being hit four times still has the ability to act, which is enough to show how safe and important the design of this ship is.

So...... There must be someone up there!

Thinking of this, Hall roared again: "Hit its main control cabin, hit its engine!" Blow it up for Lao Tzu! ”

"Hall, spot the enemy ship jumping!"

"Jump is jump, no matter!" Hall didn't even lift his eyelids, and continued to yell, "Fuck it! ”

"But...... The goal is big. Decca's voice was slightly frightened.

In the next second, he placed the target that had recently jumped on the projection light screen.

I saw a huge fortress like a mountain appear out of thin air in the vast starry sky.

In front of it, the well-known human warships are like children's toys in comparison.

Hall's pupils shrank to the extreme in an instant!

He clenched his fists, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably!

Orbiter! The enemy also has an orbital ship!

Enemy...... How is it possible to have such a huge orbital ship in just a few years?!

In this instant, Hall's mind went blank.

At this moment, Chao's voice sounded calmly.

"Hall, bite the current target first, then turn around and hit the orbiter, now I'll let the support ship accelerate and crash over."

"Good!" Hall instantly sobered up, slammed heavily on the conference table, and roared again: "Kill that flagship first, then turn around!" ”

A moment later, numerous main guns were activated again.

Finally, a dazzling fire rose from the engine section of the enemy's flagship.

At the same time, the human orbital ship also emitted a thousand rays of light.

……

……

On the Mercury, Aita's voice continued to sound with a heart-wrenching murmur.

"Warning, the main engine is damaged, the backup power supply has been activated."

"Warning, the main gun energy source has been cut off, and the warhead has been rolled off the assembly line."

"Warning, the escape pod is damaged."

"Warning ......"

Listening to Aita's prompt, everyone was silent.

Aita's hint was, of course, not from Mercury, but from the Homeland.

Quietly looking at the white noise in front of him, Ye Ming's face was gloomy, and his fists were clenched tightly.

He knew that Aita's ability to send reports was already the limit of communication.

But...... That doesn't mean there can still be living people.

Under the almost frenzied, illogical, and even desperate onslaught of the enemy, not to mention the Homeland, any battleship...... can't avoid the fate of being hit.

Even because of the safety and redundancy design of the Homeland, it can resist for a longer time.

Until...... Its main engine was hit.

Even if he wasn't on the Homeland, Ye Ming could imagine the consequences of a warship suddenly being blown up when it was flying at an accelerated speed of nearly 1,000 meters per second at three thousandths of a thousandth.

This universe is about science.

No one can withstand the G-force impact of such a drastic change in acceleration.

In the silence, the commanders present took off their military hats one after another, and then slowly bowed their heads.
