Chapter 160, Brilliant Explosion
Hearing the so-called 'starting point of the road of glory', Yelicia snorted coldly, as if she was very disdainful, she didn't want to deal with Gu Hang, turned her head and continued to get busy.
She constantly gives orders, constantly listens to the news reports of various departments, and makes corresponding reactions and judgments to form orders to be conveyed.
She seemed a little nervous, trying to stay focused. It is true that she is not an experienced naval veteran, and she does not even have serious combat experience, but she has excellent grades in the Naval Academy, but she is not a fake. If you don't really have very good grades, even if you have this family background, how can you become a captain? She is not alone in the younger generation of the Fofana family.
Her mind was full of the tactical ethics she had learned at the Naval Academy, and then combined with the real-time situation on the battlefield, she responded and gave orders in a standard way.
It's a little dull, but it's not easy to make mistakes.
When Elicia used to go to school, she had a lot of strange naval tactics in her head, but after practical experience, she realized that the whimsy of her early years was purely self-congratulatory. A few are serious and useful, and even seem to be able to work wonders in the current war situation.
But she didn't dare to use it.
A method that has not been proven in actual combat, who knows if it will work wonders or give it in vain?
In the current situation, the most important thing she needs to do is not to make mistakes, and take advantage of the strong firepower and strong defensive capabilities of the cruiser "Quintet".
I'd rather play rigidly.
Gu Hang looked at Yelicia's serious expression, a smile appeared on his face, and his mood relaxed a little.
How to alleviate the relationship with this female brigadier general in the future, that's a later story, let's talk about the current difficulties first.
There was a conflict between the two of them just now, and even almost broke out into a conflict.
After Gu Hang boarded the starship with almost 20,000 soldiers, the 'Quintet' drove to the transition point of the No. 1 tunnel of the Raging Owl Galaxy.
Before that, Yelicia tried to ask the star whisperers on the starship to send a message to the 'Beautiful Girl' to remind Wang Jiarong to prepare in advance. But the message failed, presumably because the other party was walking through the astral tunnel. In this state, it is difficult for the Star Whisperer to locate the target of the message and deliver the message.
At this point, they also gave up the summons, and let the ship rest quietly in the void.
Silence all communications, and turn off most of the engine's power except for the necessary energy supply......
The starship floated silently in the void, like a speck of dust on an observation scale of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of kilometers at every turn. Even if an enemy starts scanning the surrounding environment immediately after passing through the Astral Tunnel, it will be difficult to spot the trail.
Elicia strictly followed her previous thoughts, and she crouched here, waiting for things to happen.
If you can, you can fight, and if you can't, you can slip.
And after seeing the green fleet chasing the beautiful girl caravan out, Elisia fell into a bit of a dilemma.
Those frigates aside, a bunch of small-sized weapons, it is very difficult to penetrate the defense system on the main cruiser.
But those four destroyers can't be ignored, and the medium-sized firepower loaded on them can really pose a threat.
But if you really want to talk about it, it's not that there is no chance of winning. The beautiful maiden caravan still has four ships, and together with them, there is still a chance of victory, even quite large, sixty percent, or even seventy percent.
However, six or seven percent of the winning rate was not enough for Elicia to gamble.
If you lose the bet and have nothing, it is better to retreat a wave, go back and shake people, gather the entire Pegasus fleet, and destroy this batch of green skins.
As for the safety of the Raging Owl?
Forget it, a planet with an annual fixed amount of five million tax coins, what is there to save.
The cost of a frigate is 500 million cheap, and the angry star has to pay a hundred years of tax to afford a frigate.
But for Gu Hang, the concept is completely different.
It's okay for Evericia to withdraw, and the Raging Owl is over.
He strongly demanded that Yelicia participate in the battle.
This is how the contradiction between the two arises.
Yelicia was not too reluctant, and between the arguments, Gu Hang did not say it explicitly, but vaguely mentioned that there were 20,000 of his soldiers on the starship.
Elixia's face suddenly darkened.
Even if you don't say it explicitly, it's a threat.
She had hoped that Gu Hang would come up with troops, just in case. Greenskin's penchant for jumping gang tactics in space naval battles is written in the Navy's teaching ethics. Although there were already marines on the starship, with 20,000 more soldiers, it would definitely be more secure.
However, who knew that at this time, it had become a sharp weapon for Gu Hang to threaten her?
Once civil strife breaks out on the starship, not to mention whether her marines can suppress the 20,000 soldiers under Gu Hang's command, there is no doubt that it will take a long time.
And the internal strife of the ship will bring a fatal threat to the safety of the 'Quintet'.
Gu Hang could see that Yelicia was framed.
He didn't continue to talk about it, and continued to insist on it.
It's really a lose-lose situation, and that's what makes the greenskins on the other side laugh.
Then, he softened his tone, and said a few words about defending the empire, protecting the caravan, and destroying the alien strong enemy, and drew another sentence If this time really succeeded in destroying the greenskin fleet, then Elicia would undoubtedly have made a great contribution.
A cruiser, fighting independently, annihilating a whole greenskin fleet composed of four destroyers and eight frigates, this combat feat is extremely brilliant, not to mention in the Pegasus fleet, if you look at it in the entire Imperial Navy, it can also be said.
Even, with such a record as a foundation, coupled with enough family background to support her, her military rank may be able to move up in a short period of time.
The rank of brigadier general and the rank of major general have a huge threshold in the middle. Generally, a brigadier general would not be called a general, but a major general would be a serious general, and no one would question it.
If she did, she would probably be the youngest general in the entire Pegasus Sector, and no one would dare to say anything about her ascension through the shadow of her family.
Her fame will spread widely beyond the Pegasus Star Region, so that it will become famous in the entire Dragon Eagle Star Domain, and even in the entire Eastern Celestial Domain, and the name Yelicia will shine in the entire Star Sea and become a new general rising in the Imperial Navy.
These words made Elixia's heart pound.
It's not that she can't think of it, but it's just that she feels different when she is pointed out and scratches the center.
After the combination of the two, Elithia finally gritted her teeth and ordered the ship to leave the silence, prepare to fire with all her might, and contact the Beautiful Maiden.
That's where things get to where they are now.
Gu Hang has contributed to the current situation, and what will happen in the future, he can influence it very limitedly.
Ship command is not his ability.
He could only be a bystander for the time being.
It's weird that it's good-looking.
In this entire starry sky, there are a total of more than a dozen space giants on both sides, projecting fierce firepower on each other, the lights of different colors, points of light, cannonballs, the various flashes of light that light up when the void shield and energy shield are hit, and the fire that explodes after the cannon fire hits the ship......
At least on the scale that Gu Hang could observe, on the bridge of the Quintet, on the strike effect from the Contemplative Array, and on the schematic diagram of the battle picture, it could be clearly seen.
The starry sky became lively.
It's just that these beautiful brilliance all contain terrifying power and fatal damage.
However, when Gu Hang was a bystander, he didn't just watch the excitement. He carefully observed Yelicia, combined with the current situation of the battlefield, combined with the various orders issued by Yelicia, and worked hard to absorb and learn all kinds of knowledge about space naval warfare.
He didn't quite understand many of the situations that happened and the brigadier general's response, but that didn't stop him from trying to write them down. If you have the opportunity to go back and send some theoretical study books, you may be able to grow.
Now that he is learning these things, it is really useless, but Gu Hang has deeply realized how important space power is in this interstellar era.
This is the decisive force.
In the future, if there is a condition, he, of course, will also form his own navy.
Maybe he'll be lucky enough to pull out the Navy's technology soon?
Belch...... It's still goodbye, and I can't afford to pull it out. Starship is a top-level manufacturing industry that can only be touched after the planet's productivity is highly developed.
While thinking about it, he realized that the confrontation between the two fleets had reached a white-hot stage.
It didn't take long for the green-skinned frigate, which had been hit by the quintet's macro cannon and had been overloaded with energy shields, to also explode in the air.
It was the fire of the Beautiful Girl and two other frigates.
In this caravan led by Gu Hang's cousin, there were also experienced battleship commanders. It keenly captured the impact of the 'Quintet's fire, and delivered the fatal blow.
This is the second ship that has exploded since the beginning of the naval battle to its current position.
With two ships missing, the Greenskins flotilla's firepower was reduced by almost a quarter.
The quintet's success from the ambush was enough to tip the scales of victory in their favor by ten percentage points again.
If the greenskin fleet on the other side is replaced by a sane human host, the best choice at this moment may be to run away quickly.
Unfortunately, that's not the greenskin.
They continued to rush upwards under the fire of human ships.
At the cost of the explosion of one destroyer and two frigates, they blew up one of the caravan's frigates, and also successfully put the other two on board.
The ship, which had been logged in, soon had weakened firepower and exploded inside.
It remains to be seen if they will eventually be able to expel the logged greenskins, but for now, at least the help they can provide in naval battles has dropped by at least half.
The pressure of the battle is getting bigger and bigger.
As the greenskins approached, they lost five ships, but their firepower increased - due to the closer distance between the two sides.
The quintet was indeed strong, and four of the five greenskins in front of it were destroyed. The L-class large-sized naval cannon is extremely powerful.
However, when the Greenskins separated some ships and reached a distance of 50,000 kilometers from the 'Quintet', the accuracy of the Greenskin's super-sized firepower was greatly improved, and the Quintet also felt that it was difficult to defeat the four hands with two fists.
The most direct manifestation is that the Void Shield has turned purple, and even has a tendency to change even more to red, and the green-skinned heavy artillery has also begun to have shells that can pass through the shield and hit the ship's armor.
Gu Hang was on the bridge and felt a large vibration up and down the hull several times.
None of the hull stabilization devices can completely dissipate the large vibrations, which probably caused the exact damage to the ship. Even if it's not big, it's a lot of money to go back and repair the ship.
However, correspondingly, in order to achieve such an effect, the orc fleet lost another frigate.
Now, they have only two destroyers and four frigates left.
In Gu Hang's cognition, the battle situation has come to the final critical stage.
He was deeply impressed by the greenskin's fierce and fierce fighting to the end.
For the human side, victory is almost at hand.
But the remaining question is at what cost.
Although so far, the human side has only exploded one frigate, but the remaining three ships of the beautiful girl caravan, the Void Shield has all been overloaded, and two of them have been invaded by the jumping gang, which is in danger; Even if it's a quintet, the Void Shield is almost red.
If it is really fought to the end, the Greenskin fleet will be completely annihilated, but the Beautiful Maiden Caravan will be completely destroyed and the quintet will suffer heavy losses, this result will be quite uncomfortable.
The additional political consequences can also be a bit severe.
Gu Hang also heard Martins sigh beside him.
"If only the strength of our warband was still there, we could jump over one or two hundred people, and with a certain number of mortal auxiliaries, it would be enough to conquer an entire ship."
Listening to what this war leader meant, they hadn't done this kind of thing before.
Gu Hang patted him on the shoulder, and was about to say something, but he saw that there were many indicator lights on the bridge, which suddenly turned red.
This is a sign of danger.
The Array of Contemplatives relayed the message: "Warning! There are multiple invasions in our hull! The greenskin landing ships deceived the interception system through some unknown energy technology, and we only knocked down 70% of the landing ships, which also included a large number of decoy bays. At present, it is estimated that seventeen landing modules have successfully landed, and more than 2,000 green-skinned orcs have entered the ship's interior! The Marines have engaged in an exchange of fire with it, but are currently at a disadvantage. ”
Yelicia suddenly looked at Gu Hang.
"It's time for you to make a difference."
Gu Hang didn't say a word, turned around and left.
It's really time for him to pay, so there's nothing to say, just go on.
