Him and their stars

At this moment, only the space torpedo filled with anti-matter material through a special pipeline on the Imperial cruiser was slowly sliding out of the bomb bay.

They are not the same as the imaginary long proton torpedoes, more like a large metal barracuda, but closer to the armored airships used in the atmosphere, even the size is very similar.

They were separated by the thick ice crystal planet group, and the space bubble generator also began to operate, just like the bubbles spit out by a barracuda, and soon they were completely wrapped in it. At this moment, inside that large bubble, it seemed that an independent universe had condensed.

The torpedoes adjusted their angle and began to accelerate slowly.

After all, it is a so-called experimental weapon. The compatibility between the space generator and the propulsion device of the torpedo itself is not yet optimal, and it takes time to start.

However, this does not affect its power at all.

The empire has already conducted tests in this area. When attacking a fixed target, a space torpedo, if it can hit the vital point, can even completely destroy a million-ton battle cruiser.

As for the small sampan of the people on Earth opposite, it is even more of a sledgehammer.

However, Marquis Odegaard's purpose is to kill all the Earth's battleships here, so he must use this sharp knife.

Marquis Odegar secretly clenched his fists. He knew that when these four torpedoes broke into the enemy's formation, all that was left was waiting for the light of explosion and the scream of death.

Almost at this time, the technical officer's analysis results were fed back to the Corsica's bridge.

"Preliminary analysis shows that it is a space bubble reaction..."

The reason why this is a preliminary analysis is that the space bubble concept is currently just a theory. Whether it can be used in military applications is actually still being discussed by various countries, and no consensus has really been formed. Ordinary technical officers would probably not think in that direction without someone's reminder.

By that time, it will really be too late.

Eleanor sighed subconsciously, with a hint of joy, but seemed to be suppressing some excitement.

The Corsica was retreating for the first time since the battle began. At the same moment, the Luoyang driven by Lieutenant Colonel Kong Qingyu had already filled in and occupied the previous position.

"Lieutenant Vayali! It's up to you!" the old captain said to the young officer sitting on one of the gun emplacements.

Simon Vayali suddenly felt that he should not have chosen to embark on the path of "Star Hunting" in the first place. Not only do you have to be a sniper on the battlefield, but you also have to be a long-range DPS in extraordinary battles, and you also have to be a gunner in space battleship battles, but you only get one salary. How can you explain this?

His current organizational relationship is indeed with the Community Guard, and he really only receives one salary. The nature of the operation with the Thirteenth Fleet is "temporary overseas deployment", and the only allowances received are part of it.

The lieutenant gritted his teeth, and then calmed down his emotions. He directly said to the gunnery officer on the ship in a commanding tone: "Give me the authority for the orbital secondary guns on the front deck No. 6 to 12! Let them provide space bombs." Load it!"

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to the reactions of the others. He concentrated on it without saying a word, his face was ferocious, and his whole person suddenly exuded an aura that was inaccessible to strangers.

It's not that he has never done anything more difficult than this before, but he still doesn't dare to relax at all.

It only took less than half a minute for the Corsica and the Luoyang to complete the position switch. This kind of tactical action can be regarded as above average. Of course, this cannot be concealed from the fact that No. 24 was tried behind the asteroid "wall". On the bridge, Marquis Odegaard looked at the movements of the enemy warships on the holographic projection. He thought for a moment, and suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart. He quickly opened the communication: "Lenon, are you still in the hangar?"

"Still here, Your Excellency, the preparations are basically completed!"

As a retainer of the Marquis of Odegaard, Lennon's main job is not actually his lord's adjutant, but only an occasional guest appearance. He is a Kyeyang Sky Knight who is naturally good at operation and control, so he is also responsible for commanding an entire squadron of escort fighters on the 24th.

These fighters are the famous X-17 Phantom multi-purpose fighters, which are good at both air combat escort and interception and bombing. Of course, different purposes require different equipment. Marquis Odegaard's original plan was to use torpedoes to destroy the opponent's fleet, and then release them to hunt down and annihilate the enemy.

However, due to some strange combination of circumstances, he changed his mind and issued another order: "...Lenon, re-equip yourself and change into air superiority escort equipment."

The Sky Knight behind the communication was slightly startled, but he quickly replied: "Understood!"

The Marquis is still very confident in his retainers and the maintenance team led by the imperial officers in the battleship. Even if the equipment is replaced immediately, it should not take much time.

"Where is my heraldic machine?" He then ordered the unnamed adjutant behind him: "Send my heraldic machine to the bridge!"

Marquis Odegaard did not show any impatience, everything was calm as if it was just going through the motions. The other officers and soldiers on the bridge didn't have much suspicion. Most of their attention was still on the few torpedoes that streaked out of space.

The Imperials and Bakvi people witnessed the torpedo with the space bubble. After accelerating for nearly a minute, it suddenly flashed and covered a light track. It could no longer be seen clearly, and it just hit it head-on. Barrier of icy asteroids.

According to common sense, if an aircraft of this mass collides with a dense asteroid belt at sub-light speed, it is certainly possible that these ice blocks that have been solidified for billions of years will be directly smashed into pieces, but it will basically not It would be different.

But in fact, the moment the transparent film like a soap bubble came into contact with the asteroid, it was like a red-hot sharp knife spraying butter, dragging the entire torpedo directly and submerging it into the huge ice... No, this metaphor is not appropriate. If it were really butter, the whole thing would begin to melt and deform, but the giant iceberg in front of it did not change at all, as if it did not belong to the same dimension as the advancing torpedo.

In fact, this is exactly the case. Once the space bubble is opened, the mobile torpedo will indeed cut itself into a subspace field and will only move forward according to the established trajectory. The material concepts in the main world will not pose any obstacle to these deadly weapons like giant barracudas.

Therefore, on the battlefield, they can choose the shortest attack distance, head straight to A, and continue to attack no matter what obstacles they encounter in a round.

Theoretically, even the professional close-defense weapons used on most battleships cannot interfere with their forward path, let alone shoot them down.

Then, he bumps into the target, disarms the air cannon, and lets the antimatter materials pour out. Then he just enjoys the laboratory scene of matter canceling out annihilation and finally violently exploding.

The imperial officers on the 24th even felt it was a pity... Such a great new weapon, the prey used to sacrifice the flag should be the Alliance's dreadnoughts or even Titans! It turns out to be a small sampan of the community. It’s really a sword covered in dust. I just hope it won’t be blunted.

However, at this moment, a very violent shaking reaction suddenly came from behind the planetary belt.

Marquis Odegaard felt that it was definitely not the reaction of hitting the target. He closed his eyes silently and let his spiritual sense begin to develop. The universe with a radius of one million kilometers is constructed into a huge spherical space. The Marquis' soul itself is at the center of this space, and all the subtle reactions that occur in the space have entered his perception.

This is the powerful ability called "Star Space Consciousness". It is a spiritual skill that can only be mastered by saint-level "explorers" above the sixth ring. It is a kind of power that even the most sophisticated space instruments cannot match. It is naturally spatial recognition and capture capabilities.

However, Marquis Odegaard is not "exploring", and he is far from reaching the sixth ring. The reason why he was able to do this was because he carried a noble phantom passed down from the family of Marquis Odegaard.

However, this Noble Phantasm did not last long, only less than a minute.

Of course, even if most "explorers" reach the sixth-ring saint level, their bodies are (relatively) very weak. This Noble Phantasm lasted much longer than they did.

Marquis Odegaard could feel that the torpedo wrapped in a space bubble passed smoothly through the asteroid belt of ice crystals, and in an instant it was in front of the Earth Fleet. At this distance, even if the captain and helmsman on the opposite side each have Count Karendis, the emperor's ship captain's driving ability cannot be avoided.

However, at this moment, the torpedo seemed to have encountered an invisible obstacle and stopped moving forward. The membrane state of the space bubble is fluctuating, as if it has really transformed into a bubble in the wind.

Marquis Odegaard's ability can only last so long. He let out a breath, roughly guessing what happened, but instead he fell into an indescribable daze.

At this time, the empire's technocrats also quickly concluded that the torpedo encountered the same abnormal space reaction. The space bubble is being neutralized, and the generating device automatically begins to overload, which also affects the propulsion device. This is the reason why the space torpedo's forward speed suddenly slowed down.

"...Fuck Slaanesh!" Marquis Odegaard cursed a classic imperial curse in a low voice.

Rhea, the Wolfgang first mate, heard this and suddenly showed a miserable expression. But he also knew that now was not the time to advise His Excellency the Marquis to pay attention to etiquette and decency: "Your Excellency, this is..."

"The people on earth have been prepared for a long time! They know that we will use space torpedoes!" The Marquis gritted his teeth.

"Then...this, but shouldn't this be done? This is a military secret!"

"...Maybe it was that guy Kolmo who leaked it! He is a reserve astral knight and has the authority to consult military internal references!" Marquis Odegaard said solemnly.

In fact, the military internal reference that ordinary knights and reserve knights can see at most mentions "a breakthrough in space bubble technology." Under normal circumstances, no one would think of space torpedoes. But apart from this, Marquis Odegaard really couldn't think of any other reason.

"But, with such a new weapon...even if the people on earth knew about it in advance, how would they counterattack?"

Before Chief Rhea finished speaking, he suddenly saw a series of lights behind the ice crystal asteroid. This is a far more brilliant and bright halo than ordinary aircraft explosions, or even nuclear fission. It passes through bits and pieces of ice crystals, spreading out countless dreamlike colors.

However, facing such dreamy scenery, Marquis Odegaard and First Officer Rhea had no room to appreciate it.

They know that it is the reaction when antimatter fuel explodes.
