Gods: The Swarm

In the void over the squadron, the two fleets were already in a melee.

The scale of the battle was very small, with only a few hundred warships on both sides, but the battle was extremely fierce.

The magic array engraved on the bow of the Zerg cruiser, which was more than a kilometer long, kept lighting up.

A series of azure blue lightning rays streaked across the void and bombarded the enemy frigate moving at high speed.

This large attack array was the only shipborne weapon equipped on the Zerg warship.

In essence, this thing can only be regarded as a magic compression array.

It was originally a conventional array set up in the Mage Tower by Liu Dan's core followers.

Han Fei thought that this thing was low-cost and powerful, so he simply spent a lot of blood and equipped the bow of each Zerg warship with this attack magic array.

In fact, under normal circumstances, even transport ships would be equipped with certain shipborne weapons.

Especially for armed transport ships, not only should they be equipped with air defense arrays, but also some secondary guns will often be installed on the ships as defensive weapons.

Otherwise, when encountering enemy warships, they will really be beaten without any self-defense ability.

When Han Fei asked Dandan to build ships, it was because of this consideration that he did not hesitate to increase the shipbuilding budget and equipped the existing ships with a large attack array.

Before the design of the new Zerg unit was completed, the Thunder Dragon, the main combat unit of the Zerg, had an effective range of only more than ten kilometers.

Fighting in the inner circle of the resource well, warships often bombarded each other from a distance.

Is it possible that when encountering an enemy fleet, before closing the distance, all the Thunder Dragons on board should be released in advance to carry out face-to-face tactics, what if they are kited?

Of course, another major reason is that it is not expensive to equip this kind of magic array.

The biggest cost is the type crystal core as the center of the array, and the magic conduction material in the smelting array pattern.

In general, this thing is much cheaper than the cost of the divine power cannon.

Not to mention that the divine power cannon consumes a lot of divine power as ammunition every time it roars.

Unlike this magic array, the Thunder Dragon can directly supply magic power to charge the crystal core of the center of the array, and the cost of ammunition is almost zero.

This made Han Fei bear the pain and make up his mind to pay the cost of the construction.

But that's all. The entire ship's weapon system, except for this magic main gun, has no anti-aircraft array or secondary guns.

Han Fei's shipbuilding concept pursues cost-effectiveness and saves as much as possible.

As long as it doesn't suffer too much loss in the ultra-long-range bombardment with the enemy fleet, when the distance is shortened, the Void Zerg will have room to display.

Although the Zerg warships look out of place, their actual combat effectiveness is still very good.

The main reason is that these transport ships are very confusing, and they are like playing the pig to eat the tiger.

The enemy fleet fighting against them at this time misjudged the performance of the Zerg warships.

This scout composed of hundreds of magma frigates was horrified when it first encountered the Zerg fleet.

Nearly 10,000 large warships are comparable to the size of their main fleet.

Walker, the commander of the scout fleet, immediately reported to his superiors and prepared for a quick evacuation.

After careful observation, it was found that these peculiarly shaped cruisers did not have magma ships patrolling around and escorting them.

There were no void fighters or combat mechas to drive them away.

As a fleet commander for so many years, Walker had never encountered such a situation.

Looking at these cruisers, they look like melons, with a thick layer of purple fungal blanket on the surface.

If it weren't for the golden flames spraying from the stern, it could be confirmed that they were equipped with a super-powerful divine engine, and I would have guessed that the other party was a plant warship of the tree people.

Faced with this unexpected situation, Walker tried to let his warships approach cautiously for reconnaissance.

Unexpectedly, the other party immediately showed its cowardice.

In addition to sending nearly a thousand warships to intercept, most of the warships suddenly accelerated to escape.

Even the fragment of the ownerless divine domain that was originally towed by the tractor beam was decisively abandoned by the other party.

This made the experienced Walker's eyes brighten, and he felt that he had caught a big fish.

"From the other party's reaction, these are not all transport ships, right?"

Such a large transport fleet, and it is still in a hurry to escape from the battle, who knows how many valuable goods are carried in it.

After Walker had this guess, he immediately reported the enemy's situation and his own speculation to his superiors in more detail.

Not long after, he received an order from the fleet commander himself.

He was asked to hold on to the enemy as much as possible and buy more time for the main fleet that was rushing at full speed.

Walker, who was excited, knew that it was time for him to make a contribution.

Without any hesitation, he divided the hundreds of frigates under his command into two formations.

One continued to fight with the enemy's rearguard, while the other accelerated at full speed to lock on the enemy's main fleet.

In his opinion, these clumsy large transport ships could not get rid of the pursuit of high-speed frigates in a short time.
