Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 204 The Falling Sky Fortress

When the enemy's fighter planes came over in a swarm, Qin Xu's fighters also rushed here.

Portman's fighter plane was much faster, making Qin Xu instantly locked on by the fire control radars of countless fighter jets.

Countless floating cannons behind the Assault were ejected, confronting the enemy's fighter planes.

Portman's fighter pilot quickly locked onto the target with the assistance of the computer, and the gamma rays from the fighter jet rained down on the Assault mecha.

The Assault quickly drew out its beam saber and cut in at an incredible speed and angle. At the same time, six gamma rays fired at him were reflected.

The reflected gamma rays flew around in disorder, blowing up one of the Portman fighter jets that were rushing towards him.

Facing a fatal blow, everyone in Portman believed that this salvo could destroy the Strike Force, because so far gamma rays were invincible.

But he didn't expect that the opponent could block their attacks with such a slender beam sword.

His thoughts were shaken, but the attack did not stop at all, countless gamma rays rushed towards the huge Strike.

Even if Qin Xu can predict all laser ballistics, once the dense barrage reaches a limit, the machine body will inevitably be hit.

When there was really no other way, Qin Xu let the less important parts of the body to fight hard.

Moreover, the Assault is equipped with a medium-sized energy shield. It is very difficult for the "small laser" equipped on these fighters to break through his defense with one or two shots.

After the first wave of attacks was overturned, Qin Xu could control the floating cannons all over the sky to attack the enemy.

A floating gun is six meters long and is only equipped with propellers and weapons. At this moment, they are flying randomly in the sky, and each laser shot can take away a fighter plane.

If it weren't for the fact that Qin Xu couldn't directly connect the floating cannon with his consciousness like Portman, then he, who controlled hundreds or thousands of floating cannons, could dominate the entire sky battlefield no matter how many fighters came from the opponent.

When watching the enemy's small green dot on the battlefield information radar map disappear faster than when it came into contact with the enemy's fighter formation, the commander finally ordered the fortress to fire on the mobile suit in the distance.

However, when the huge laser beam hit, Qin Xu dodged it in advance as if he was always predicting the future.

The densely packed fortress weapons hit it, but they didn't touch it. On the contrary, they shot down many of their own fighter planes.

Immediately afterwards, the human fighters finally arrived.

At this time, the number of fighters has reached more than 3000, and Portman's record is only about 1000. The battlefield is completely overwhelmed.

The commanders in the fortress watched this scene and saw friendly fighter aircraft information disappearing on the screen. They all knew that the war was lost.

The Sky Fortress only has an advantage when it has control of the air. At this moment, the air control will soon fall into the hands of the opponent.

This sky fortress is like a giant space station built in every galaxy.

On paper, the combat effectiveness is very strong, but when it comes to actually facing the enemy fleet, it will only be kited.

Portman's original war idea was to seize air supremacy through a powerful air force, and then use the Sky Fortress to wipe out all resistance on the ground, forcing the Quillak government to surrender.

At this moment, the aerial fortress, which does not have an advantage in air combat, has basically no power to resist when facing the enemy's fighter group.

"Commanders, it's time for us to go. Once we fall into each other's hands, Portman will be pressured to make more compromises. Isn't it time, generals, that the government removes you from their Are you ready to redeem it?"

Unlike the other officers who were still roaring and preparing for a desperate struggle, Makarov was the first to see the situation clearly and the first to let them go.After a moment of hysteria, Portman's officers prepared to let the Flying Fortress continue to resist and allow Portman's fighter planes to continue to tangle with the opponent.

But after hearing Makarov's calm words, he calmed down.

There is no doubt that the human side will definitely try to capture them alive in exchange for the Portman government's compromise and gain a diplomatic advantage.

The status of these people present is not low, so no matter what the purpose is, the government will find a way to get them back.

Although the officers wanted to continue to resist and fight like a soldier until the last moment.

But as Makarov's hand reached his leg and grasped the pistol, all the generals present gave up this idea.

They had no doubt that once they said they decided to stay, the other party would shoot them all to death.

Rather than fall into the hands of the other party and then have the government redeem it, it is better to kill it from the beginning.

One after another, Portman's fighter planes flew out of the fortress and flew into the distance at a speed of more than ten Mach.

Although the human side and Quilla's various sides have detected it, they are really powerless against the speed of more than ten Mach.

The key is that the enemy fighter's stealth performance is still strong. It's fine when it's close, but when it's far away, the radar can't detect it at all.

In the underground command post, Blade could only watch as Portman's important personnel flew away in a fighter plane.

He slammed the table, but there was nothing he could do.

"Lord Archon, they are not that important. What is important is that we have won this war, and we have actually won it."

Quillak Army Commander Scott said with some excitement.

With all important personnel evacuated, the soldiers on the flying fortress did not put up much resistance.

Some flew away in fighter planes, and some who couldn't leave stopped shooting.

When the opponent's fortress stopped shooting and the fighter planes kept flying away, Qin Xu originally wanted to control the mecha and fly directly over to occupy the fortress.

After all, judging from the current situation, the opponent has given up resistance, so the people on the fortress should not attack him again.

It's just that he thought about it in his mind, and the body that was about to rush forward stopped again.

Seeing that the other side had stopped attacking, the human fighter planes rushed towards the fortress, but were quickly stopped by Qin Xu and asked all planes to retreat.

Just when no one knew what happened.

Suddenly there was a loud noise from the direction of the Sky Fortress, followed by a ball of fire that engulfed the entire fortress.

When the generals left, they also activated the self-destruction program of the fortress.

The huge fire completely engulfed a hundred miles in radius. When the thick fog dissipated, everyone saw that only a burnt skeleton of the originally huge and thick aerial fortress fell from the sky.

Also lost were the lives of thousands of Portman soldiers in the fortress.
