Chapter 288: Powerful Arc

"I have an idea."

As Quaron pondered how to implement the decapitation tactic, Adam's voice reached his ears.

Qualun on the communications video raised an eyebrow at Adam, wanting to hear his idea.

"An orbital defense platform is widely used in the Tyrone Star Sector."

"This defensive platform is just like our warship, with energy shields and particle light spears...... On top of that, their shields can be linked. ”

"A large device is responsible for deploying the shield energy of each defense platform, and when the shield of one platform is damaged, the other platforms will transfer the shield energy to it."

Quarren first wondered why Adam was bringing up the matter of the orbital defense platform at this time, but then he understood.

"You want to lay a defensive platform outside the hive fleet?" Quarlen asked.

"Yes." Adam nodded, his eyes fixed on the Hive Fleet, which ignored what his own fleet should do.

Those biological warships are out of sight, and regardless of their quality, their sheer number is enough to induce fear in those who see them.

"The only thing we can use is the decapitation tactic, approach the biological mothership, and take it out."

"But there are so many biowarships that we can be destroyed in the process of getting close to the mothership, but it is not the same with the help of orbital defense platforms."

"So my plan is to set up a defensive platform during the advance, so that I can get close to the mothership steadily."

Adam continued.

"Repair the fortifications while you are building...... Void Positional Warfare? Qualun's eyes lit up, but then he felt unreliable, "The question is how long will it take for you to build a defensive platform?" ”

"Soon." Adam only said two words.

If someone else said this, Quaron wouldn't believe it, but if it was Adam of the Tyrone fleet, it would still have credibility, and he wouldn't say nonsense.

Quaron decided to use this tactic, and then began to think about more detailed things, such as the formation of the fleet during the advancement.

In the face of the Hive Fleet, all warships should act in unison, rather than scattering and fighting separately during the battle.

Act in unison, just as the Chaos fleet was assembled during the Battle of Cadia and headed straight for the Celestial Engine.

Quarram was more experienced than Adam in these details, and he passed down the order when he thought it through.

The Empire merged with the Tyrone fleet, with small frigates and cruisers around the perimeter of the fleet, and large battleships and orbital dockyards arranged in the center of the fleet.

In addition, Quarren sent a group of warships to form a reserve, which would replace or support the warships in any part of the perimeter when they were attacked with unbearable onslaught.

All ships in the fleet quickly adjust their positions and orientations, and then slowly approach the hive fleet.

The Hive Fleet doesn't want to pay attention to these few human ships, and wants to keep the biomass to recreate the swarm to attack Baal, but it is impossible for them to sit back and wait to be attacked when the human ships approach on their own initiative.

The mothership and the other creatures gathered and headed straight for the human ship.

When he saw the giant insects covered with tentacles and fangs and claws, he missed all the opponents he had encountered before, except for the Zerg.

Neither a traitor nor an alien fleet will be as uniform as the Hive fleet.

As they progressed, the ships of the Tyrone fleet adjusted the Particle Light Spear to a long-range mode, attacking the Hive Fleet first with weak attack power and long range.

Slender spears of light slashed around Quarron's heavy cruiser.

For the time being, the damage effect is not visible, because the distance is too far, there are too many biological warships, and only a dense mass of giant insects can be seen on the bridge.

Adam could see more clearly, his brain connected directly to the battleship, and he could see the hive fleet more closely through the observer on the hull.

He found that the Hive Fleet didn't have any shields, but their chitin carapace was enough to intercept the long-range, low-power Particle Light Spear.

The information in the database shows that the carapace of the biological warships was at least thirty meters thick.

This was not what Adam expected, and he didn't expect to be able to slaughter a large number of biological warships in a long-range firefight, and arc weapons were the best use when facing a large number of enemies.

Chitin carapace insulation, but the carapace of a biowarship is not seamless.

"The defense platform is printed and ready to be delivered." Communications personnel report to Adam the information reported from the Orbital Dockyard.

Adam nodded silently, watching as the fleet approached the hive fleet.

After the two fleets had sailed towards each other for half a solar hour, the hive fleet also attacked.

Clouds of green pus are ejected by a creature ship with cannon-like organs, intercepted by a Void Shield or Energy Shield.

Then small bugs like carrier-based aircraft fly out of the interior of the biological ship, shuttle between light spears or macro cannon shells to the side of the human fleet, and bombard the ship with various shell-like bugs.

Close defense weapons of the Imperial and Tyrone frigates opened fire to intercept.

There are also carrier-based aircraft on the human side, but neither Adam nor Quarlen want to use carrier-based aircraft, because the agility of the bugs is simply amazing, they can even turn 180 degrees in place, and the carrier-based aircraft will be slaughtered quickly if they fight them.

Besides, close defense weapons can still deal with these little bugs.

The hive fleet soon approached within range of arc weapons, and cruisers and heavy cruisers and battleships in Tyrone's fleet began to fire arcs.

A little smaller than the Arc Sea during the Battle of Khadia, but still deadly, the Hive Fleet's heroic frigates at the vanguard were instantly emptied as long as they were within the firing range.

However, these arcs did not wipe out any cruiser-class biological ships, as the hive fleet deliberately tested the attack capabilities of human ships and deliberately sent a group of Xiongfeng to their deaths.

The results of the test were acceptable, and the cruiser-class biological ships approached the human fleet at a much faster pace.

"Let the arc array on the orbital dockyard fire." Adam ordered, "This is the only chance to fire before the melee." ”

The order was immediately communicated.

The Orbital Dockyard begins to rotate and move, gradually moving directly above the fleet, then turning the side loaded with the arc array towards the Hive Fleet.

A dazzling golden glow illuminated half of the galaxy, and the Arc Sea formed above the fleet and spread towards the swarm.

Nearly a thousand bio-ships have been gathered within the firing range, and among these bio-ships are the Majestic Peak and the Devourer...... As the arc sea rushes past them, these bio-ships are instantly paralyzed, turning into space junk floating in the universe.

The orbital dock descends back to the center of the fleet, and the arc array begins to recharge in preparation for the next fire.
