The approaching firepower of the eleven green-skinned ships made it very difficult for Wang Jiarong's fleet to resist.

And their counterattack appeared weak.

Their bow rushing out is not conducive to firepower projection, not to mention, when the enemy's weapon system is online, the close-range interception capability is also online. Whether it was a laser cannon or a macro cannon shell, some of them were locked in mid-air and intercepted by enemy fire in the void.

Of course, the interception system in the caravan ships also came into play. The 'defending' kinetic rapid-fire cannon and the 'reflector' interceptor laser cannon are all doing similar work.

But overall, they are undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

Before they could get a full distance, they were about to be overwhelmed by the greenskinned orcs' firepower.

And what's worse is that their speed is ...... It doesn't seem to be as fast as the greenskins.

The engine system of the orc ship, after it began to accelerate at full force at this moment, was obviously late, but in a short period of time, the speed was actually increased to a very fast degree. It is estimated that their first-mover advantage will be wiped out in a short time.

When the speed gap between the two sides is also eliminated, the closer and closer distance will allow the firepower advantage of the Green Fleet to be further exerted.

Not to mention, the Greenskin Fleet has a special preference in the process of naval battles: gang jumping.

They're pretty much the second favorite guy in the universe to jump in naval battles - the first favorite is the Space Marines.

Landing capsules, landing ships and even short-haul jumps...... These are all things that Greenskin can come up with. Once the distance reaches a dangerous level, they will use these methods.

The small landing capsule and landing ship are close to the target with a large amount of artillery fire, and there is a considerable degree of camouflage on them to deceive the interception system of the target ship. Upon approaching the target ship, these landing pods and landing ships will sail at a low speed, making the Void Shield unable to produce defensive effects, and thus approaching the ship.

Some of the otherwise innocuous breaches in the hull of ships that have been punched out in naval battles will become the entrance to the invasion; If there is no such entrance, all kinds of high-performance bombs and cutting devices that come with the gang will find the relatively weak position on the ship and cut the opening.

These openings pose little threat to the ship itself, equivalent to an adult being bitten by a mosquito. But the scary thing is the 'venom' that comes with this bite. A considerable number of soldiers will enter the ship and engage in fierce battles inside the ship.

On ships, there is no particularly open area that is particularly suitable for heavy firepower. The vast majority of combat environments are cramped, closed, and face-to-face.

So who can compete with the green-skinned orcs in this environment?

The elite greenskins will go on a killing spree inside the ship. Even if it can't directly destroy and kill all the people in the entire starship, every time it causes a certain amount of damage, it will make the combat ability of the battleship drop a lot.

When you kill the weapon system, you can dumb off a part of the firepower, that is, you earn; When it comes to the Ponderor Array, it can paralyze the ship's automation system and greatly reduce the coordination of the ship's various departments; Kill the engine hangar, which may detonate from the inside of a high-performance bomb that can disable an entire ship. In case of another killing, the captain's room......

Gang-jumping operations are, of course, high-risk and high-loss operations, and even in most cases, the landing capsule and landing ship will be destroyed by interceptive fire in the process of building ships close to the target. But as long as there is a small success, it is a disturbance; If you succeed in a big success, you can simply take the ship.

Green-skinned and not afraid of death.

In fact, there were already some small drop pods flying along with the shells.

It's just that so far, there has not been an airdrop capsule that can pass through the fire interception net, and it is estimated that there are one or two hundred green-skinned boys who have died in the sea of stars.

However, Wang Jiarong's face was still pale.

The fact that the green-skinned Marines have not landed on the starship is of course good news, but the good news is too insignificant.

Seeing that the Void Shield had turned purple, she could already feel the vibration when she saw that some cannonballs had passed through the Void Shield and hit the hull of the starship.

The Void Shield is an energy protection system that can intercept physical cannonballs, energy cannons, and missile weapons, especially objects and energy that are approaching at high speed. But what flies through at low speed, the blocking effect is not good.

The Void Shield in its full state, that is, when it is blue, has the best resistance effect; However, if the attack exceeds a certain limit and turns purple, it will fail to block it, and there will be a certain probability that the cannonballs and energy rays will leak in.

At first, it was okay, even if it leaked in, the blow weakened by the Void Shield, and the sturdy physical armor on the starship could generally resist it.

But when the carrying capacity of the Void Shield reaches its limit, that is, when it turns red, the probability of missing the cannonball will increase significantly, and the weakening effect on the attack will also become weaker.

Although the current condition of the Void Shield is still in the process of changing to purple, the starship armor is still quite powerful, and the occasional attack through the Void Shield has not caused much harm.

However, this is all extremely bad news.

From the time Greenskins began to launch a counterattack, things were rapidly deteriorating.

What's more, Wang Jiarong completely thought that there was no way to change the status quo.

"Gu Hang, Gu Hang! You really killed me this time! I shouldn't have come to this backwood......"

She muttered in her heart, and her face was pale.

And at this moment, the Star Whisperer suddenly reported a message: "Captain! We have received a communication signal from the quintet! ”

Wang Jiarong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly rejoiced: "Come in!" ”

The next moment, Yelicia's voice rang out throughout the bridge: "I am Commodore of the Imperial Navy's Pegasus fleet, captain of the quintet, Elicia Fofana. ”

Her clear voice sounded to the ears of everyone on the 'Beautiful Girl', like a savior.

"Elixia! Thank God! Finally got in touch! Help us! ”

Wang Jiarong was so happy that she was about to cry.

"I'm right next to it." "Now, you're going to turn your fleet around and fire at the greenskins with all your might. We're going to be here, before they can get up to speed, and annihilate them completely! ”

Wang Jiarong was slightly stunned.

What do you mean by 'right next to you'?

Could it be that Elicia had expected to run into the Greenskin Fleet here, so she set up an ambush here? The reason why the Starwhisperers contacted but did not hear back was because the 'Quintet' was in a state of silent lurking?

But why? How did she get the news in advance?

Wang Jiarong's head was confused, but these thoughts only turned in her mind for a short while, and she didn't think much about it soon.

Following Elixia's instructions is the only chance to survive.

At that moment, the four ships of the beautiful maiden caravan, according to Yelicia's request, began to turn sideways and bombard each other with all their might.

If there is no external help, this is looking for death.

The side side is quite dangerous for the enemy.

This allows the full firepower of the ship to be fully utilized, but the area of damage is also the largest; When the two sides are separated by more than 100,000 or 150,000 kilometers, the firepower they receive is almost the same as if they are facing each other sideways, but their own firepower projection capability may be 30 percent worse.

But again, in a sideways state, it is certainly impossible for the ship to stand still. Ships moving sideways are also more likely to evade artillery fire.

Overall, it's a balanced offensive tactic.

And the greenskin fleet that is charging at this moment is, of course, an out-and-out aggressive offensive tactic. Closing the distance will greatly increase the power and accuracy of the artillery on both sides, and they are even willing to sacrifice 20-30% of their firepower for this.

But despite this, the Greenskins still have a much more firepower advantage than the Beautiful Girl.

They didn't know why these shrimp ships suddenly looked like they were going to fight them, but it obviously made them even more excited.

Not to mention that the fire became more intense, and they also released more landing caps.

However, at this moment, in the distance, in a dark void with nothing, hundreds of missiles suddenly flew out.

These missiles are heading towards a greenskin destroyer.

And the next moment, two huge cannon shells slashed through the void and smashed its energy shield.

The two heavy guns that arrived at the same time, Ana, were starships, and they also had great destructive power.

The energy shield around the green-skinned destroyer that was being targeted suddenly changed from calm blue to purple light, which symbolized danger. Then, of the hundreds of missiles, seventy flew past the Void Shield and hit the destroyer.

Seventy explosive points suddenly erupted on the hull of the greenskin destroyer, and the ship was immediately severely damaged.

The energy shield generators may have been affected by the explosion, and the Void Shield, which was still purple, disappeared for a moment in an instant.

If they are given a little time, not long, a few minutes, it will be enough to restart the energy generator on the Greenskin, or activate the backup energy.

However, there is no such opportunity.

Ten smaller rounds followed, six of which hit and slammed into him. The damage caused by these six cannons was even more terrifying than the seventy missiles in front of them, directly turning the greenskin battleship into a huge fireball.

A valuable destroyer was completely destroyed in this way.

And this inexplicable firepower, the results are not only that.

There were also ten macro cannons, which bombarded a greenskin frigate, and four of them hit, and the energy shield on it suddenly turned red.

The strength of the shield on the frigate is much weaker than that of the destroyer.

……

On the bridge of the 'Quintet', after confirming the results of the battle through the battle footage faithfully transmitted through the Ponderor Array, Yelicia did not cheer, it was too unstable to be like the work of a captain.

But she still couldn't hold back, and swung her fist hard.

This smashed green-skinned battleship is actually the first actual naval battle achievement in her captain's career.

And this feat, it is enough to surpass the careers of many captains in the Pegasus Star Zone.

Since the establishment of the Pegasus Fleet, there has not been much experience of being used by the Imperial Navy as a support force and mobilized into a larger fleet to fight. In addition to the old captains who went out to form a temporary combined fleet, the other younger and less experienced ones, that is, within the scope of the star sector, at most multiple surrounding star sectors, exterminate some interstellar pirates.

What can those interstellar pirates do? It would be quite good to kill a corsair at the level of a frigate, and there were even many of them who took ordinary spaceships to rob and rob, and at most dared to touch some ultra-small caravans.

In the past, Yelicia had never even achieved this kind of extermination of the little pirates, which was one of the reasons why she was sneered at in private.

But from now on, no one will want to laugh at her.

Even if he was transferred to other high-intensity theaters and had seen a big scene, not every veteran captain had a record of destroying an enemy destroyer.

Being able to get an assist is something that can be bragged about for many years when you come back.

And today, she, who has always been said to be a brigadier general with a relationship and a soaring military rank, has completed it.

Not only is it not an assist, but it is the only main force.

What happened to the sneak attack?

It's called tactics!

However, after the initial excitement, Elicia immediately regained her composure.

The destruction of one of the enemy's three destroyers would certainly be a heavy blow to the entire fleet of the greenskins, but there were many ships and a large amount of capital remained.

This battle still has to be fought.

Especially now that the advantage of the first sneak attack is gone, and without the advantage of the surprise attack, the next round of firepower will not be so easy to achieve the results just now.

The orc fleet has already discovered their tracks, so they won't be unsuspected. Advance ship maneuvers will make more artillery miss; Short-range anti-aircraft fire is full of vigilance, and some macro artillery will be intercepted or deflected halfway.

Of course, as a main cruiser, the 'Quintet' is fully armed, especially the two L-class 'Loyal Heir's Fury' cannons, which are devastating for ships of the frigate level.

As long as it hits, the energy shields of those frigates will be directly overloaded.

The slaves and technicians on the quintet were already working at great speed, loading the shells for the next round of artillery fire; The Ponder Array struggled to observe, latch onto the targets of ships that were actually moving rapidly.

A fire strike requires preparation time.

Before that, the quintet had to come under enemy fire.

The 'Defend' rapid-fire cannon and the 'Reflector' interceptor lasers were all in operation to withstand the fire of the orc ships, and at the same time, large areas of blue light were glowing around the cruiser.

It was the scene when the Void Shield was in effect when the ship was attacked.

At this point, the naval battle entered a white-hot stage.

The previous results of destroying a destroyer and overloading a frigate's energy shield are now less important.

At this time, Yelicia couldn't help it, and turned her head to look at the man standing not far behind her.

She sighed and said, "Gu Hang, if you are defeated, you will really kill me miserably." ”

Gu Hang smiled: "If you win, then this is the starting point of your glorious path." ”
