Battleship Showdown!!
Chapter 1623 Battleship Showdown!!
"All shots hit! All shots hit!!"
Reports from Ram, the weapons control officer, echoed continuously from the bridge of the MACROSS Quarter.
Apart from the main guns of the three MACROSS-class capital ships, which were not used, all weapons, including those of the convoy fleet, were deployed in this salvo, and without exception, all of them achieved a perfect hit.
"Wow! What an exaggerated scene!"
Bobby covered his mouth in surprise.
Although this was not the fleet's strongest attack, and even the two galactic divas on stage had not yet begun to sing, the scene of hundreds of spaceships firing simultaneously was still grand and magnificent enough.
"Don't let your guard down! The enemy isn't so easily defeated!"
Jeffrey Wilder reminded him in a deep voice.
At the same time, he also saw the communication screen on his right—He Ming, who had ascended to Cheng Ying·Lie Kong, was also online, watching the possible consequences of this magnificent volley.
"All ships, remain alert! The enemy has not been destroyed!"
The moment He Ming's voice rang out in the communications center, shouts of surprise and decisive, swift commands erupted from the bridges of all the warships.
"All ships, maximum speed! Spread out and take cover!"
In just a moment, all the warships turned and accelerated away, leaving only three MACROSS-class main warships advancing in a triangular formation of one in front and two behind.
As the surging flames continued to erupt, scattering thick smoke into the void, the spaceship, which should have been destroyed by this salvo, tore through the sea of fire, appearing before everyone's eyes with a speckled appearance resembling noise.
"Have they finally given themselves away?"
The moment Cheng Ying·Lie Kong swept overhead, a GN particle cannon, composed of three large Lie Yu flying feathers, delivered a powerful blow to the warship, which was enveloped in countless flashing, noisy specks.
"boom!!!"
The beam of particle light, like a colossal pillar supporting the sky, instantly shattered the flickering noise on the warship and struck its main body.
The intense light continuously drove away the flickering noise and engulfed the warship that had withstood the salvo from the entire fleet.
But He Ming felt no joy at having succeeded.
Neither he nor Xiaoying, who was assisting him, felt the target being blown up on the spot.
On the contrary, the other party seems to have abandoned certain shackles.
"boom!!!"
The energy from the violent collision suddenly erupted, not only scattering the noise, flames, and thick smoke, but also revealing the true form of the warship disguised as Musai.
In the dimming light, a strange warship, 240 meters long with a straight hull like a coffin lid, was rapidly unfolding its bow armor, revealing its main guns encased in numerous thick armor plates.
The moment the terrifying energy reaction triggered a strong high-energy warning, the Kongo decisively accelerated forward and fully deployed its Klein Field to provide cover for the Quarter and Frontier behind it.
"Bobby!"
At the critical moment, Jeffrey Wilder and the captain of the Frontier did not hesitate to give the order to spread out to the left and right and flank the enemy from both sides.
"Yes, Boss!"
Bobby's eyes gleamed, and he shouted with great enthusiasm.
Under its control, the much smaller and more agile MACROSS Quarter, much smaller than the Frontier, was the first to break away from the enemy ship's firing axis and witnessed the moment the enemy launched its attack.
"boom!!!"
The full-force attack unleashed by a mere 240-meter-tall spaceship was comparable to, and possibly even slightly superior to, the MACROSS Cannon possessed by the MACROSS Quarter.
In the blink of an eye, this attack, capable of evaporating a large warship and sweeping across a local battlefield, clashed with the Klein force field deployed by the Kongo, creating a spear-and-shield confrontation.
The brilliance of their clash was as dazzling as the sun, causing all the fleet ships facing the moment to activate their shielding mechanisms to protect their bridges from the direct rays of light.
“There’s a little trick!”
Kongo stood on the bridge, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes. The information interface he saw showed that the output of the Klein force field was steadily decreasing.
In the blink of an eye, this all-out attack from the enemy reduced the output power of the Klein Force Field by 30%, and it continued to decline.
"King Kong!"
Lin Mingmei called softly.
"No. No need! This level of emergency isn't serious enough to warrant your involvement."
A burst of light flashed in King Kong's eyes, and the output power of the Klein Force Field suddenly increased, returning to 90%, like a rock in a torrent, allowing the opponent to attack.
She didn't believe that the other side's spaceship, which was only 240 meters long, could have a power source that surpassed her Kongo.
Even the most dazzling light eventually dims.
Amidst the flashes of intense, high-energy reactions in the surrounding void, the fleet, taking advantage of the lull in the battle between spear and shield, once again took up attack positions and unleashed a volley.
Led by the MACROSS Quarter and Frontier, thousands of beams of light and missiles once again enveloped the enemy ship from all directions.
This time, however, the magnificent scene of the rolling sea of fire sweeping across the void did not occur. Instead, the beams of light and missiles were all blocked by a light curtain flashing with purple-red light.
"Trace abyssal reactions detected! It is speculated that the enemy ship's force field utilizes some abyssal technology, capable of neutralizing a portion of the power of energy weapons!"
However, even so, the power exerted by this enemy ship was not as strong or as resilient as the Klein field of the Kongo.
A single salvo was enough to make the force field teeter on the brink of collapse.
"Damn it!! If this continues, even my warship probably won't last much longer!"
Mr. P looked at the numerous real-time data displayed by the AI with resentment, already understanding in his heart that if things continued like this, death would inevitably await him.
Unless he can escape!
But wasn't the trap the other side had laid meant to kill him?
"We need to find a chance to escape!"
"They're trying to escape!"
The Shadow Rift, hovering above the enemy ships, sent a signal to all the warships involved in the battle.
In this space-wide region covered by GN particles, no emotion of the enemy can escape Heming's perception.
The moment Mr. P began to consider resigning, He Ming knew that his opportunity had arrived!
If pushed too far, these cunning and resourceful ghost-faced gang members might have other hidden tricks up their sleeves.
For example, detonating Axis to create an escape opportunity or other extreme measures!
Suddenly, the fleet that was bombarding the enemy seemed to have a slight opening, and the Kongo, which had taken a hit from MR.P, also showed signs of stopping.
"Chance!!"
Mr. P's heart suddenly started pounding.
Could it be that the continuous salvo caused a gap in the fleet's coordination, or even signs of energy depletion?
"AI! No! I'll do it myself!"
MR.P originally wanted the AI to calculate the retreat route, but recalling how that damned AI had been hacked without anyone noticing, MR.P decided to trust only his own judgment.
"AI! Deploy Lords Gremy and Rakan onto Axis! Then, we'll withdraw from this battlefield!"
"understand!"
MR.P. reclaimed most of the authority and ordered the warship to launch a full-scale attack, displaying an attitude of fighting to the death. He also pretended to be forced to retreat by the fleet's attack and to hold on desperately, trying to deceive the fleet's warships and find an opportunity to break through the encirclement.
"This is quite a show!"
The hovering above, Cheng Ying·Lie Kong locked onto the two dark figures that shot out from below the enemy ship amidst the barrage of artillery fire, falling rapidly onto Axis like meteors.
That was the airdrop pod where Gremi Toto and Lakan Bakara were located!
