Him and their stars

It was a fleet composed of more than forty large and small ships. In this far shore nebula, it could be regarded as a quite large military force. However, like almost all pirate groups, each of their ships is full of random modifications, and the ship type, firepower, protection, and speed are all very inconsistent. Naturally, it is impossible to rule out something too strict. Awesome queue.

In addition, we all know that the purpose of pirates has always been to rob rather than sink, and their weapons have naturally always adhered to the classic combination of snake oil. The speed must be fast, otherwise it cannot outrun the navy and catch up with its prey. However, pirates cannot get the best military engines, so they can only find ways to modify them randomly. The firepower cannot be too strong. If you accidentally sink the prey, it will be in vain. You also need to bring enough real men who can join gangs and fight hand-to-hand. After all, you need manpower when you have to rob. In addition, warehouses must be prepared, and some warehouses are even more professionally designed than cargo ships. After all, no one can guarantee that they won’t grab some precious trophies that need special attention.

In short, purely in terms of combat effectiveness, the pirate ship is a typical example of everything being sparse and ordinary.

Of course, there may be exceptions to this. For example, the flagship of this pirate fleet is a very evil giant ship, which is more than one circle larger than the largest ranger class of the Thirteenth Fleet. The painting is pure black, and the bow of the ship has sixteen main gun ports, which looks quite powerful.

However, taking a closer look, the hull of the ship is a bit thin, and it always looks top-heavy. Yu Lian even suspected that once the sixteen main guns fired a salvo, the hull would fall apart.

"It should be modified from the Alliance's Icewind Dale class large armed merchant ship." Akinayama Hachiman looked at the image of the ship sent over, and then pointed to a triangular skull logo on the side of the ship: "I'm sure, it's Moda's Main fleet!"

"Are you here for revenge?" Ina muttered.

Eleanor sneered and said: "If he gathers in Kerna City, I will still have a headache."

The senior's strength should be only one-third of the opponent's, but she didn't find it difficult at all, and even felt lucky. Fortunately, the other party came to kill him himself.

The pirates in the Far Shore Nebula are really incomparable to those in the New World! The senior thought.

The pirates in the Far Shore Nebula are really incomparable to those in the Abyss Nebula and the Spiral Nebula! Yu Lian thought.

There are many ships on the other side, but no matter how you look at them, they are just a bunch of mobs, which really makes people lose their fighting spirit.

"Colonel Bonaparte, as usual, the command is handed over to you. Just use me as an aircraft carrier captain." Commodore Marklov sent the communication, still astonishingly free and easy.

However, before disconnecting the communication, he added: "Don't underestimate the enemy!"

It is probably the nature of the elderly to be cautious and steady. However, his reminder was not completely useless. At least Eleanor cheered up a minute in advance and began to issue orders in an orderly manner: "According to the original plan, develop the battle formation! Analyze the dynamics of the enemy fleet!"

This time, the fleet with Corsica and Luoyang as the main attack fleet began to advance. The destroyers spread out on either side of them, opening exits for torpedoes and missiles. The assault ship opened up the front line and made preparations for an outflank assault.

The Fog and the Venetian remained on standby. Of course, all the fighter planes in the Fog are ready to attack, but the fleet commander is not ready to let the "stormtroopers" in the Venetian go out this time.

They are just pirates. If they are really forced to fight gang wars, then Eleanor's command is wrong.

The fleets of both sides continued to approach, and in the vast starry sky, it suddenly felt like they were meeting on a narrow road. However, compared to the well-organized Thirteenth Fleet, the pirates over there are always a bit chaotic.

There was no way around it. The pirates always lived in small groups, like a pack of hunting hyenas, walking in every corner of the nebula. They basically had no experience in large fleet battles.

However, since it was an artillery battle formation, the opponent did not let the flagship, which looked very fierce at first glance, come to the front. Instead, it had seven or eight warships that looked very strong at first sight lined up in a defensive counterattack. look.

"Tsk, coward!" The senior who always likes to rush to the front row expressed her full disdain for this behavior.

"This is understandable. The boss of the pirate group is not a general who enforces orders and prohibitions, nor does he lead well-trained regular soldiers. He is more like the leader of an alliance of outlaws. His ship, his loyal power, That is the basis for whether he can roar into the mountains and forests." Yu Liandao: "In addition, with the quality of the pirates, it is already good to be able to form a defensive and counterattack formation. We cannot expect them to really have the ability to engage in a head-on artillery battle with us."

The senior sister nodded, and then she felt something was wrong, and said loudly: "...Expectation, expectation, I have no expectation! Yuri, don't taint someone's innocence out of thin air!"

She probably wanted to cross her lips (qing) and sneer (qiao) a few times, but she heard a cough behind her, and then she vaguely felt that the camera of the automatic drone was pointed at her. Back, he immediately coughed seriously: "The charging status of the orbital main gun?"

"In good condition!" Ina replied loudly, rolling her eyes. Anyway, her little face is facing the dashboard now, so no one can see her expression.

"Then, as usual, after entering the maximum tactical range, start shooting at the enemy's No. 1 ship! No need to wait for my order!"

The high-power orbital main guns equipped on the two rangers were far more powerful and effective (non-theoretical range) than the pirate fleet. They were destined to have the upper hand during the artillery battle. After three artillery strikes, they accurately hit the so-called "Enemy No. 1 Ship" for the fourth time.

The damage to this fat, armored merchant ship was not particularly serious, but it stopped on the spot as if it had been struck by lightning.

Immediately afterwards, Ina fired another shot, and this time it indeed penetrated the enemy ship's armor and entered its interior.

The pirate ship turned around and left the battlefield like a stray dog ​​that had been kicked in the stomach.

Until this time, the pirate fleet had not even completed the bombardment.

"Moda's men don't have much fighting spirit!" Akinayama Hachiman said: "You can try to be a little more proactive."

The senior sister continued to follow the good advice and immediately ordered a change of formation.

The Fog and the Venetian began to move forward. These two ships have enhanced hangars and protection, but they are multi-purpose cruisers after all, and they also have at least main guns. The four cruisers were arranged in a standard artillery formation, taking turns to fire salvos. On the one hand, they increased the firepower projection against the enemy fleet, and on the other hand, they also served as a fire cover.

The targets of cover are naturally the destroyers.

The five destroyers did not hesitate and went directly to charging speed. The soldiers on the ship have become so courageous recently that they have even rushed past imperial warships, and now they are no longer afraid of the firepower of mere pirates.

Moreover, Akinayama Hachiman’s judgment was also correct. Although this pirate fleet is large in size, its fighting spirit is indeed not very good. The firepower used to counterattack always seems a bit careless. When the destroyers are forced to move forward, there is even obvious chaos. As a result, the only two destroyers of the Thirteenth Fleet were hit by the beam and suffered a few minor injuries, but they finally succeeded in hitting the enemy ship group with dense missiles and torpedoes.

One of the enemy ships of the pirates was directly hit by three torpedoes and five missiles, and it died on the spot. At the same time, at least four enemy ships were definitely hit and suffered considerable damage.

They obviously did not have unified command, or in other words, they were simply unwilling to obey Moda's instructions. Some ships want to fight back, some want to retreat, and some even want to escape.

As a result, for five minutes, the pirate fleet did not fire a single effective shot at the Community fleet that had entered their range. The current shelling is not so much a counterattack as it is that the pirates feel that "it would be very shameful if they don't fire the cannons", so they simply do it as a routine.

"This is not just a lack of fighting spirit, this is basically just standing on the sidelines of friendship!" Yu Lian thought.

He really understood the pirates' mentality very well, and he quickly roughly guessed the current situation.

The people sent by Moda were all wiped out in the Luna system. At the same time, they also suffered a big loss from the empire that they worked closely with. Their main customers, the Rumina rebels, were basically all dead. Got the news.

If Moda, a big pirate, doesn't show some courage to take revenge and go back, he will definitely be regarded as a soft persimmon by his half-hearted subordinates. However, the ones who have the least fighting spirit are also the big and small pirate leaders on both ends of this group of snakes and rats.

All they knew was that the Thirteenth Fleet had even beaten up the Empire. Isn't beating them up as a group of pirates just a waste of water?

I have to say, Moda is really difficult. Therefore, being a gangster and being a boss is actually a technical job. If you don't have the skills in this area, you really can't force it casually.

Of course, at this juncture, even the oldest and most solemn Brigadier General Marklov will know that at this stage of the war, one's own victory can no longer be shaken.

"Your Excellency, you can prepare the fighter planes to take off."

"Where's the assault landing craft on the Venetian?"

"There is no need to take any chances," replied Eleanor.

Brigadier General Marklov nodded with approval.

In the next three minutes, the cruisers of the Thirteenth Fleet launched several rounds of shelling. After sinking two large pirate warships again, the remaining small and medium-sized ships suddenly fell into a state of rout, and were immediately attacked by the assault fleet. It was blocked and driven towards the center of the pirate fleet, forcing it into an even more chaotic state.

In fact, Moda's only chance in this battle is to win this battle with his core loyalists as the main force. It's a pity that pirates are pirates, and they are destined to be a group of forgetful and life-saving masters.

There was nothing to watch in this battle, so Yu Lian decided to apply to his senior sister to leave the bridge and take a nap. He estimated that after this battle, it would be time to attack the Kerna Fortress, and he should recharge his batteries.

However, at this moment, the pirate warship opposite, which had never participated in the battle, suddenly started to move forward. After all, its size is there, and once it starts running, it really looks a bit menacing.

Oh oh oh, are you finally going to do it in person? Yu Lian immediately looked at Moda with admiration. Although this guy was very arrogant just now, at least at the critical moment, he still showed some spirit of a big pirate.

Just when the bloated pirate ship was about to enter the shooting range, a string of light signals suddenly sounded on the ship, and then a pure white light curtain with an astonishing area was opened.

"Oh, the French flag!" Yu Lian exclaimed.

Eleanor glared at Yu Lian fiercely, squinting her eyes to read the light signal sent by the other party, and felt a little unbelievable for a moment: "Surrender?"

"Yes, it's a surrender signal." Hachiman rolled his eyes.

"Sir, the enemy ship sent a communication request. It is on the blue frequency. It is indeed a surrender signal." The communication officer also said loudly.

It’s not easy! They were flying "white flags" and "semaphores" and sending communications, as if they were afraid that we would send them away with one shot.

Yu Lian was still in awe of Mr. Moda. He had always felt that a great pirate who had done so many bad things could kneel down so openly. In a sense, he was more courageous than him fighting to the death.

He really wanted to see who the other party was. A Rumina man who "relocated" became a great pirate and one of the underworld chieftains in the Far Shore Nebula. He really shouldn't be a simple person.

However, the person who connected to the communication was not Moda, but a middle-aged human male.

"Don't fire! Madam General, one of our own!" The human waved loudly.

He then bent down again, and in front of everyone's inexplicable sight, he held up a bloody triangular Lumina head: "Moda said, I have already killed him. I sincerely surrendered to the government."
