The heavy-duty railgun tungsten alloy projectiles that hit at high speed automatically triggered the defense system of the battleship, and immediately dense and powerful close-in defense guns poured out to intercept the tungsten alloy projectiles.

Coupled with the advantage of high configuration as a medium-sized battleship, the aftermath did not cause any impact.

However, when encountering such a thing suddenly, Mesti absolutely couldn't bear it.

Originally, after the battleship rushed out of the Kuiper belt, it only encountered two non-threatening detectors.

And there were no accidents when traveling to Jupiter.

This has convinced him of the words of his subordinate Uzi.

The civilization in this star system has been wiped out, and at most there are only brains still in operation.

There is simply no way to stop the warships of the Herald Empire.

He even began to imagine successfully occupying this galaxy in the future, turning the living planet inside into a new residence of pioneer civilization, and allowing himself to show his face among the members of the royal family.

After all, the scope of the Milky Way is so vast, and without a space channel stargate, it is not easy to find civilizations like human beings that are not counted by the Milky Way system.

But never expected.

Seeing that this matter was about to be accomplished, his battleship was suddenly attacked.

And from the perspective of power, it can stimulate the battleship's automatic defense, indicating that the enemy is likely to be a star warship.

According to the information provided by Uzi, the civilization in this star system has just reached level one.

Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to have a space force like a warship.

It's just that the most important thing to do right now is to find and eliminate the enemies, so as to show the strength of the pioneer empire.

So Mesti has no time to question Uzi for the time being.

With extreme anger in his heart, he stretched out all four arms subconsciously, and issued a counterattack command to the ordinary pioneer who specifically controlled the battleship in front.

"Lock the opponent's position for me."

"Whether he is a civilization in this galaxy or not, he must perish."

"It's the bishop." The ordinary pioneers with four arms moving quickly on the operation screen replied in unison.

As for Uzi at this time, he was naturally in a panic.

The previous UFO incident had already made him lose trust in front of Bishop Mesti.

Although temporarily using the brain to explain the past.

But cracks have already formed.

No matter how hard you try to fix it, it will always be there.

The middle class of the main pioneer empire is very strict, and members of the royal family can easily control all ordinary pioneers by relying on the fusiform crown on their heads.

So from the establishment of the pioneer empire to the present, the following crimes have never occurred.

Although Uzi is currently an ambassador-level pioneer, it is nothing in Mesti's eyes.

As long as Mesti is dissatisfied with this, I am afraid there will be no chance to return to the pioneer empire.

It would be better to conceal the situation of this galaxy if we knew this earlier.

Let Mesti find out on her own.

But it's useless to say that now.

of course.

Uzi must not be reconciled to just sitting around like this.

He must try to save himself.

"The intelligent life in this galaxy is obviously all carbon-based life forms, and it is absolutely impossible to survive in the face of the special elemental substances of the empire."

"Could it be that they destroyed Pluto?"

"According to the information I got earlier, humans shouldn't be able to do this."

While Mesti didn't notice him for the time being, various thoughts flashed through Uzi's mind at this moment.

Wanted to try and figure out why.

But these ideas were eventually rejected by him.

But in the next second, Uzi seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly walked towards the side of the battleship's console.

Butt intends to use the function of the battleship to determine something.

Because at this time, including Mesti, everyone's attention was on the enemy attacking the battleship, and they didn't care about this little move made by Uzi.

Anyway, if you stay in the battleship, you can't escape if you want to escape.

It can only be said that the battleship manufactured by the Herald Empire is worthy of being a high-end existence among medium-sized interstellar warships. With the flight trajectory exposed by the heavy rail gun tungsten alloy shell, the specific coordinates of the Shenzhou were quickly determined.

"Report to the Bishop."

"The location of the enemy has been locked, do you want to strike?"

The pioneer empire is a civilization that relies on continuous invasion of other galaxies to maintain technological development. For the army of this civilization, it doesn't care about the life and death of other civilizations.

What's more, Mesti is still in a rage.

After getting the answer from his subordinates, without any hesitation, he immediately gave the order to attack with all his might.

"Activate the neutral particle cannon, the main weapon of the battleship, and completely destroy them."

"It's the bishop." The ordinary pioneer in charge of the battleship control decisively pressed the launch button after receiving the order.

Compared with the heavy railguns of small battleships like Hammer Cruisers, the main weapon of medium battleships is the more powerful neutral particle cannon.

And the range attack speed has an absolute advantage.

Facing the attack of this kind of weapon, there is absolutely no possibility for the Shenzhou to escape safely.

……

……

The line of sight came to the side of the Shenzhou.

Xu Lei knew very well that whoever launches this attack first will attract the enemy's firepower.

All have to withstand the fierce counterattack of the enemy ship.

Because only in this way can we win opportunities for other warships.

Create an opportunity to break through the defense system of the enemy warship.

Otherwise, if the frontal attack alone is used, no matter how long the battle lasts, the enemy warship cannot be destroyed.

And the reason for choosing Shenzhou.

Naturally, it does not mean that Xu Lei wants to be the savior, willing to sacrifice himself in exchange for the continuation of the entire human civilization.

He never thought he was that great.

Mainly for the Shenzhou, he had already made preparations in advance. Except for him and Xingtong, most of the core members of the space force on the battleship were temporarily arranged on other battleships.

It can be said that the current Shenzhou is equivalent to an empty shell.

Specifically designed to attract enemy fire.

In addition, they are all real mechanical life forms, and their physical strength is unknown how many times stronger than ordinary humans.

Even if they are blown into space, they will not die directly like humans.

Although after the amorphous alloy mechanical body is completely shattered, the consciousness fused inside will gradually dissipate, but it is not easy to achieve this level.

Even if the body is torn apart, as long as the head is intact, there is still a chance of healing and recovery.

Xu Lei was sure that nothing would happen to him, so he chose to let the Shenzhou attack first.

After all, after entering the overclocking state, he can calculate various possible results in a short period of time, and he is quite sure about this safety probability.

Almost at the same time as the heavy railgun was fired, Xu Lei immediately issued an order: "Order everyone to move to the head of the Shenzhou, and the battleship turns [-] degrees to meet the enemy's attack with the side armor of the battleship."

At this moment, the total number of crew members on board the Shenzhou is less than a hundred.

Move naturally and quickly.

As the order was issued, everyone immediately moved.

Dare not have any hesitation.

In interstellar wars, the first attack direction is basically the engine part.

In this way, as long as the engine of the battleship is destroyed, the battleship will completely lose power and can no longer move.

A warship that loses its power will be easily surrounded by other warships until it is completely destroyed.

More importantly, in the other party's space radar, the engine part is also the most easily detected position.

Basically, the coordinates are locked by the energy fluctuations emitted by the engine.

Shenzhou's engine is at the tail.

Turning the direction of the battleship to face the enemy's battleship sideways, even if the battleship encounters an attack, the head can basically be guaranteed to be intact, and it will not cause damage to Xu Lei Xingtong and the others.

It is also worth mentioning that when everyone arrived at the predetermined position on the head of the battleship.

They also immediately activated the energy in their bodies one after another, making their bodies enter a defensive state and prepare for the impact of the attack.

It can be said that if you touch Xu Lei Xingtong's body at this time, you will find that the skin and muscles have become very hard.

In addition to effectively resisting powerful attacks, high-temperature corrosion is difficult to affect the body.

And this is the strength of special amorphous alloys.

"Incoming attack detected, 2 minutes remaining until contact."

"Be prepared for shocks."

Soon, as the traditional red alarm flashed inside the battleship, when the system broadcast sound appeared, everyone present couldn't help but tense up.

But there was no trace of fear on his face.

Because in a sense, they are people who have died once.

Still having the opportunity to exist in the form of a mechanical life form is completely a blessing in misfortune.

And the culprit of all this is the enemy he is facing right now.

How could they be afraid in this situation.

More importantly, everything they are doing now is still protecting their children.

Only by completely eradicating these invaders of extraterrestrial civilization can the continued development of human civilization be guaranteed.

Speaking of Xu Lei, he was not surprised that the attack came so quickly.

After all, the extraterrestrial civilizations use medium-sized warships, which are naturally more powerful than heavy hammer cruisers. It is normal to determine their position coordinates and attack in a very short time.

The key depends on whether the Shenzhou can hold on.

"Everyone, prepare for the impact, the enemy's attack is coming!"

Seeing that the warning time of the battleship system was about to arrive, Xu Lei immediately repeated a sentence, and slowly closed his eyes after saying this sentence.

As Xu Lei expected.

The enemy's attack target is indeed the engine at the tail of the battleship.

But unlike the heavy railguns with armor-piercing effects, the battleships made by the Herald Empire are equipped with neutral particle cannons as their main weapons.

The moment the two came into contact, the entire Shenzhou immediately lost most of its body.

Less than a third of the head remained.

Even fly a long distance.

As for the close-in defense guns of the Shenzhou, it was too late to make any response.

Not to mention the interception of enemy attack attempts.

It can only be said that the performance gap between warships is extremely obvious, and it is difficult to win by relying solely on numerical advantages.

-

"Are you all okay?"

When the aftermath of the attack gradually disappeared and the flying speed of the remaining battleships began to slow down, Xu Lei, who was the first to react, immediately asked about the physical condition of the surrounding crew members to ensure that everyone was not harmed.

Fortunately, the response obtained is a good result.

"Don't worry, Captain, you won't die yet."

Hearing the answer from the crew beside him, Xu Lei's original choice was finally temporarily let go.

But after seeing the situation in front of him, there was still a wry smile on his face: "It seems that I still underestimated the power of the enemy's warship weapons."

Looking around at this moment, they were equivalent to being completely in space, relying on some of the wreckage of the Shenzhou to continue flying forward.

It has to be said that Xu Lei really did not expect that the weapons of the warships on which the extraterrestrial civilizations were aboard would be so powerful.

Fortunately, the main target of the enemy's attack was the engine power system at the tail of the Shenzhou, which barely preserved some space in the head of the battleship. Otherwise, even if they directly attacked the middle of the battleship, the Shenzhou would definitely be completely destroyed.

Because relying on the Shenzhou's own hull materials and armor is simply not enough to withstand the enemy's attack.

And moved his eyes to look at the other people beside him.

Although most people were not affected too much and successfully relied on the defense of the non-gold alloy mechanical body to resist, there are also many nano-skin-like materials sprayed on the surface of the human body that have disappeared, revealing the original silver amorphous alloy machinery inside. body.

Looked very embarrassed.

But as long as the body and head are not too damaged, it still has the ability to fight.

From this point alone, one can intuitively see the powerful advantages of mechanical life forms over ordinary humans.

For example, in the current situation, the body has been completely exposed to space and is still moving. If ordinary human beings are placed in this environment, there is absolutely only one dead end.

After all, oxygen alone can't solve it.

But now they are still facing an embarrassing situation, that is, under the impact of the enemy's powerful attack, the only remaining wreckage of the warship is still in a flying state.

Since the engine power system of the current battleship has been completely destroyed, it is not easy to stop the wreckage of the battleship without the braking ability. , it is very likely to collide with meteorites or other celestial bodies in space.

Once everyone is dispersed by then, the situation will be even more dangerous.

You must know that the battle with extraterrestrial civilizations has just begun.

No one knows what will happen next.

Therefore, Xu Lei also needs to return to the battleship as soon as possible to control the overall situation of the battle in a timely manner.

Of course, Xu Lei is not the only one who is worried about this matter at the moment.

Soon, some crew members asked questions in the channel: "Captain, what should we do now?"

Perhaps it was because this sentence spoke out the voices of everyone, followed by more and more voices from other people.

"Our situation is not very good now. If it has been locked by the enemy's weapon, it is no different from a live target."

"I'm worried that this piece of wreckage won't last long, and I must find a place to stabilize my body as soon as possible."

"I don't know what's going on with the other warships now?"

"Don't worry everyone, there will be no problem with the captain here."

……

Compared with other people's worries, Xingtong, who was always standing beside Xu Lei, was very calm.

The reason is because she has absolute trust in her boss.

Xu Lei listened to everyone's remarks in his heart, and he also understood that everyone was still worried about the situation on the other side of the battle.

After all, there was no difference in configuration between the rest of the warships and the Shenzhou. Since the warships of extraterrestrial civilizations could easily destroy the Shenzhou, it was no problem to deal with other warships.

And you must know that the other warships are not prepared to be attacked in advance like the Shenzhou. Almost every warship has about [-] crew members. The Alliance Fleet inflicted severe damage.

Currently in space, the only battleships that humans can compete with extraterrestrial civilizations are the warships of the alliance fleet. Therefore, in order to ensure that the advantage of the situation can be dumped in the direction of the alliance, Xu Lei must re-enter the battle command as soon as possible.

In this way, with the help of his overclocking state, he can display [-]% of the excellent performance of the battleship.

Maybe it can increase the alliance's chances of winning.

Fortunately, when Xu Lei decided to use the Shenzhou to launch an attack on the warships of extraterrestrial civilizations, the current situation happened to exist in the calculation results under the overclocking state.

So he also made preparations for the situation.

"Everyone is waiting patiently, someone should come to support us soon."

As soon as this word comes out.

Although the atmosphere has been eased for the time being, everyone is unavoidably worried.

The main thing is that everyone is very clear that the remaining heavy hammer cruisers have already participated in the battle, and are engaged in fierce battles with the medium-sized warships of extraterrestrial civilization.

How can there be energy to support them at this time.

But because of the trust in Xu Lei, and there is really no better way to save himself at present, so he can only wait patiently and anxiously.

Facts have proved that Xu Lei never said anything he was not sure about.

Just when everyone's patience was gradually exhausted, they saw two flying devices flying towards them in the distance. After the distance was shortened to a certain extent, they could be found to be two landing ships.

As for the way of rescue is also very special.

When the flying speeds of the two landing ships and the wreckage of the battleship Shenzhou were consistent, four cables were directly shot from the landing ships, so that the landing ship and the wreckage of the battleship were firmly bound together.

Then the two landing ships pulled Xu Lei and the others to fly.

Lei Zhan Zhang Jing and the heavy hammer cruiser they were in charge of had no way to spare their energy to support them at this time, but apart from the eight heavy hammer cruisers that were all engaged in the battle, there was also a transport ship Tiankun that did not participate in the battle.

According to Xu Lei's original decision, he planned to arrange for the Tiankun to temporarily retreat to the orbit of Mars to stand by.

After further confirming the strength of the warships of extraterrestrial civilization with the help of deep space probes and attackers, Xu Lei understood that it might not be easy to win this victory with only eight heavy-duty cruisers.

Therefore, the Tiankun was temporarily arranged to provide support.

For this reason, Xu Lei also specially mobilized the landing ships in the side compartments of other warships, which were just in time to come in handy.

As long as he successfully returned to the Tiankun, he could still command the battle.

What Xu Lei didn't expect was that the entire battle situation was not too tragic at this moment, and even the warships of the alliance had a faint tendency to have the upper hand.

According to the original plan.

After the Shenzhou launched its first attack on the enemy warship, the rest of the warships must immediately launch the most violent attack on the warships of the extraterrestrial civilization, and they must not worry about any weapons and ammunition.

Because Xu Lei knew very well that facing such a powerful enemy with unequal strength, at the cost of sacrificing the Shenzhou, he could only get this chance.

If it is unable to cause effective damage to the warships of the extraterrestrial civilization and destroy the opponent's weapon system, then the situation will be reversed in a very short time.

It is not easy to find such an attack opportunity.

So you must have the determination to put all your eggs in one basket.

Lei Zhan, Zhang Jingtong, and the other captains of the battleship will undoubtedly not have any doubts about Xu Lei's order, so it can be said to be very well executed. The remaining seven heavy hammer cruisers around began to attack violently.

In addition to using the main weapon's heavy railgun, even the front space torpedo launcher also came in handy.

In addition, some newly manufactured warships were also equipped with special offensive weapons such as attackers, and they were all launched together at this time.

All in all no reservations.

And this method also brought a very big surprise to extraterrestrial civilization.

Originally, Mesti was just happy to see the Shenzhou being destroyed by the neutral particle cannon of his own battleship, but the alarm sounded suddenly from the battleship's defense system, which made his face look down instantly.

"alarm!"

"alarm!"

"Several attacks detected."

"The defense system is overloaded..."

Compared with the attack just now, the number of attacks this time is larger, and from the space radar of the battleship, the attacks still come from all directions.

This puts a huge burden on the close defense system of the battleship.

Unable to intercept in time.

At the same time, this situation also made Mesti sure that there is definitely a civilization in this star system, and it is not at the first level of civilization as Uzi said.

With so many powerful warships, I am afraid that they are about to enter the second level of civilization.

Thinking of this, the anger in Mesti's heart suddenly increased a lot.

Can't wait to kill Uzi now.

"With so many interstellar warships, and they can pose a threat to our battleships, this is a civilization that has just entered the first level!?"

He yelled such a sentence exuding coldness all over his body, and then quickly commanded the battleship to deal with it.

"Lock the coordinates of these battleships, activate all weapons and destroy them for me."

He came here a few light years away to occupy this star system and make it a new territory of the Herald Empire, to prove his ability as a member of the royal family.

If the car accidentally overturns here, if this incident is reported to the empire, I am afraid it will become a joke among other members of the royal family, and he, Mesti, will never allow this to happen.

As for Uzi, who was still operating the battleship function not far away, his body trembled violently after hearing this sentence, and the speed of his hand couldn't help but increased a lot.

Although Mesti was surprised by the current situation, she wasn't worried much.

From the perspective of attack methods, the strength of the battleships in this galaxy is a lot lower than his battleships. Even if the opponent has a numerical advantage, it is only a matter of time before the battleship's neutral particle cannon and several orbital guns are used to destroy the opponent.

But the following sentence from his subordinate made his face freeze: "Report to the bishop, it will take time for the neutral particle cannon to fire again."
