The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

Manoline Santiago wiped the sweat from her forehead with lingering fear.

This meow is really scary.

Originally, this ship followed the order to continue collecting information nearby, but God knows why, suddenly one ship after another jumped into this deserted galaxy.This frightened Manoline to immediately order Moby Dick to find a deep space point to hide, press the cloaking device, and hold the button to light up the induction force field in her hand. See.

She thought she must have been discovered...

There's a reason why Deep Space Point was chosen - because there's nothing there.

Experienced commanders know where a ship usually goes when it disappears on their scan monitors—the asteroid belt, the backside of a planet, all good places.It is a normal operation to use natural celestial bodies to hide one's own shape, radar response and gravitational response.Therefore, as long as the opponent's ship is found to be missing, the commander will immediately send scouts to search the planets and asteroid belts.

There is no way for conventional ships to hide there. For ships with stealthy operations, the empty places between planetary orbits are safer... The lower the density of matter, the safer it is, which is just the opposite of conventional ships.

Under Manoline's command, Moby Dick crouched down in a place trembling, and then found out that the boat jumped in and started fighting for no reason.It was a small, but quite tragic battle.

Rushing up against the cannon to forcibly join the board... This operation is simply like the close-combat neuropathy of the wrath group.

During the observation process, Manoline quickly understood why the warship with the skeleton bow dared to do this - the enemy's bombardment could hardly cause wounds on her body, even if there were so many damages, it would still Self-healing is completed in a short time.She must have a built-in power furnace and armor repairer with amazing performance, and the output of the internal force field stabilization system must also be quite amazing.

It's like condensing the performance of a flagship level on a warship less than 500 meters long.

The last time I saw such an exaggerated ship was the space battleship Yamato built by the League of Nations after inheriting the technology of the fallen empire Iskandar...

In addition to the battleship of the Gaia Sanctions Committee and the battleship Arcadia, there are at least two spaceships belonging to different forces in the local area. Judging from the response of the detectors, they are all cruiser-level (Tartaros standard) ) battleships.She didn't know if the Gaia Sanctions Committee and Harlock had discovered these bystanders, but apparently neither of them responded to it.

After snatching the Tiad-class battleship, the Arcadia entered the transition state without any regrets, disappeared in place in the black mist and red lightning, and disappeared into the subspace channel.As if waiting for her to leave, as soon as she left, the cruiser behind immediately jumped into the battlefield just now and began to rescue the survivors on the Tiad-class battleship.

One of the ships has a beautiful red livery, the skull and the shamisen emblem painted on the hull, and the three characters 'Bentenmaru' written in Chinese characters indicate that this is a privateer active in this area.The other ship is similar to Bentenmaru, but it is painted in blue.

That's the Barbarossa.

"This is the Moby Dick, we found the Arcadia, an unidentified Gaia Sanctions Committee warship, the privateer Bentenmaru, the privateer Barbarossa, the ship data has been entered and uploaded to Combat in the database."

War Scythe, who received the news from the rear, showed a surprised expression. He carefully looked at the image that had been uploaded to the database—it should be the Arcadia, but it gave people the feeling that there was no atmosphere of a hero protecting the earth. , on the contrary... like a ghost ship...

A ship that has been sunk for many years, barnacles and seaweed climbed onto the rusted and decayed hull, the captain and sailors were cursed with immortality, wandering in the sea forever, driven by resentment to move, constantly attacking the living ghost ship.

Isn't the Arcadia supposed to be like this? (think)

And the privateer next to rescue the attacked Tiad-class battleship is quite pleasing... But the painting is too pleasing, right?I always feel that the captain must not be a serious person-probably either a female high school student, or a fancy pirate like the one in Neptune. (far eye)

He rubbed his temples, and didn't ask Moby Dick to contact any of them—the risk was too great, and a communication he didn't know suddenly came from the battlefield where the battle had just ended, which would make people who were already nervous What's more, the Arcadia may be nearby before she goes far, and it will be troublesome if she is alarmed and attacked.

After all, the behavior of this ship is completely different from the Harlock I remember, God knows what will happen here.

[Stay vigilant and continue to follow.Look for opportunities that can be contacted - specific self-judgment, but you must be cautious, and you must give priority to your own safety and concealment. 】After much deliberation, War Scythe issued such an order【Record the communication codes of the two privateers, maybe it will be useful sometime. 】

Is it involved in the battle between Harlock and the Gaia Sanctions Committee?

To be honest, from the current point of view, this question does not seem so necessary-after all, Harlock is just a character that Oregana and I particularly liked before, and the Gaia Sanctions Committee is a party of this Pirate Galaxy Overlord...but that's all.

What should be done now is to cultivate Casla's company according to the previous decision, and use this company to make the appearance of the Integration Department and Pirate Galaxy to achieve communication and trade. This is enough.As for the Gaia Sanctions Committee and Hallock, it doesn’t matter—as long as the Gaia Sanctions Committee doesn’t jump out to ‘sanction’ this [foreign-funded] company, and Hallock doesn’t stare at the company’s ship and grab it, then They are just background panels with very little intersection.

Although there are obviously a lot of secrets on the Arcadia ship, from the perspective of thinking that more things are worse than less things, it is better not to wade into the water.

Compared with Hallock, he is more willing to deal with those privateers.

To make a very inappropriate analogy - if you travel to the seventeenth century and do business with the locals, should you focus on those East India companies, or on the flying that only appears in the Cape of Good Hope on stormy days? On the Dutchman?

Although the latter is more romantic. (far eye)

In the same way, the Arcadia, which only appeared around the solar system and confronted the Gaia Sanctions Committee, is actually not that important to the overall situation.

At this point in time, Warscythe thinks so.It's not that he doesn't want to figure out the corrupted black technology hidden on that ship, but that he puts the importance of the task at this stage above the black technology.

"I see." Manoline replied, "Also... Arcadia seems to be looking for something."

[Looking for what? 】

"It seems that she... scanned the transition response of the Very Leopard before. We mobilized the previous space response and deduced the previous jump path of the Arcadia - she chased the Very Leopard all the way here. The surrounding galaxies There are also a lot of jumping reactions in it... all coming to this galaxy, I think it is the reinforcements of the Gaia Sanctions Committee, they are chasing the Arcadia."

【What? ! 】

Is this awkward?

Hallock must have never seen the Uncommon Leopard directly, so why did he chase this ship?Was there something about the ship that attracted him?

Could it be that he left the area of ​​the solar system and came to Ceteus... because of the very Leopard?

It can't be that the space response caused by the jump engine is different from that of the local ship, which aroused his interest. You can check the space response of a hammer a few light years away...

There was not enough intelligence to analyze Harlock's motives, but Harlock was still on the trail of the Uncommon Leopard anyway.Then, within a very short period of time—perhaps as long as a few weeks or a few days—he would find the very Leopard's current berth, which was the newly acquired pirate base.

And following Arcadia, there is also a mobile fleet of the Gaia Sanctions Committee...

Sometimes it's like this, you don't want to make trouble, but trouble wants to come to you... (covers face)

The only thing is that I don't want to make initial contact with a certain force in this kind of situation!I just want to start a company to do business!You pirates don't come near me!

Fortunately, there is only one Tartarus-made battleship, the Very Leopard, in this base, and not much other things have been moved in. It is actually quite easy to retreat.

He grabbed the communicator:

"Inform everyone on board that the Very Leopard will set sail within 10 minutes."

【Eh?so suddenly?Is something wrong? 】

"Pirates are coming to us with a whole naval fleet in tow."

【! ! 】

The entire base suddenly became chaotic, and the emergency order ordered everyone to put down what they were doing and quickly rushed to the dock to gather.But fortunately, now the base is mainly composed of elite anger group members, and they are used to emergency assembly.

"Is everyone here?"

"Everyone is here except the legion commander who is returning to New Eden now."

The scythe of war nodded, and ordered:

"Then set sail immediately! We have to get out of here - first create a false impression of continuous tactical jumps in the local area, and then jump to the 'black area'."

The Arcadia is chasing the entire fleet of the Gaia Sanctions Committee, so her actions must be fast without any delay—in this case, she may not be able to spend a lot of time tracking down the local ships. The space distortion caused by massive tactical jumps forced the interruption of tracking to avoid the following fleet.

If he was extremely confident in his combat power and just stood still and swept, then the large-scale entry of the fleet and the outbreak of battles would also turn the local space distortion signal into an unrecognizable mess.

After fighting for such a long time, this is all accumulated experience... Last time, the remnants of Nascatron used this method to run away with civilian ships, and the pursuit fleet could not find them.Then replace it with a black hidden special service ship with better maneuverability, and the effect will definitely be better.

As long as it can be persuaded to quit. (nod)

"clear."

Because Liu Lizi had to take care of the Panther, on the night when she accompanied the boss to New Eden, she came back first and waited on the ship, and Oregana would not come back until she finished handling the matter and explained it clearly. Unexpectedly, there would be an emergency on the way.She looked at the scythe of war with a gloomy face, and said:

"Then, let's go!"

"I'm still a bit reluctant to give up this base..."

"After Harlock leaves, we can come back. After all, his range of activities is not here." Someone said, "If we can't find it, maybe we will go back."

"It's not that simple. I still haven't figured out why Harlock is chasing this ship, and I haven't figured out how he knew about this ship. I don't know if he will give up." The Tin Woodman shook his head." I don't think it's over yet."

"Yeah..." War Scythe sighed, "I'm passive this time. If it's just an Arcadia, we can talk about it, but..."

"But there are people behind, no matter who you talk to, there will be trouble."

"Hey... If there is enough information, maybe there will be a better solution."

But the information cannot be sufficient... In this universe, Harlock has very little information.I am afraid that apart from the Gaia Sanctions Committee, few people know what kind of person Hallock is.As for the Arcadia, probably only Harlock knew the details of it.In this case, no matter who comes, there is no way to get enough information.

The Very Leopard unlocked the lock, the tail thrusters emitted an orange light, and the whole ship slowly drove out of the dock.Various systems went online one by one, and after driving out of the dock, a translucent oval shield was deployed around the hull to prevent the hull from being hit by gravel when passing through the gravel belt in front of the base.

"Start jumping for the first time after passing the gravel belt!" The light on the port on the back of Liu Lizi's neck changed from red to blue, "Start adding..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the sensor suddenly beeped.

"Space Distortion Reaction Directly Ahead?!"

"what?!"

In front of everyone's eyes, a cloud of black mist emerged from the void with a violent space distortion reaction, and red arcs twisted on the black mist like snakes.Immediately afterwards, a huge skull rushed out of the black mist, and a crazy and depraved red light flashed in the empty eye sockets——

"It's Arcadia!" Liu Lizi turned pale with shock, "It's straight ahead! The distance is twelve thousand!"

"What the hell..." The Scythe of War also froze on the spot. Arcadia's maneuvering speed is absolutely abnormal. How can you arrive within an hour of these light-years?He knows that ships in this world rely on jumps for short distances, and travel through subspace corridors for long distances, but can the speed of traveling through subspace corridors be so fast?

"Tsk... the invisible system..."

"It's too late!!" Liu Lizi yelled loudly, and at the same time increased the power of the shield generator. "It's locked, the high-energy reaction ahead is bombardment!!"

"!!"

In the distance, the Arcadia turned its turret to shoot at the front. The main gun of the front hemisphere aimed at the Very Leopard that had just sailed out of the port, and fired at this huge ship whose long axis was more than twice its own. A majestic salvo...

PS3: There is another chapter tonight 0w0

Chapter 762 Chapter 689: let's battle! (update yesterday's update)

The salvo of the pirate ship Arcadia was quite breathtaking——

A total of twelve triple-mounted beam main guns are mounted on three slide rails in the middle of the ship, so that they can shoot without dead ends in the front hemisphere.And facing the front, it can realize the fierce shooting of 36 main guns firing at the same time.

The scythe of war has not been done at all, why the other party has the guts to install this design on a battleship for actual combat.Indeed, with the slide rail design, the turret can be easily moved around the hull, and the firepower can be easily concentrated.But in the course of the battle, once the slide rail is shot, it may cause the turret turning mechanism to be stuck, and a large amount of firepower will be lost in an instant-one slide rail is damaged, which will cause the four main turrets to be affected, and the slide rail The location of the arrangement is also the easiest place to be hit in battle...

Anyway, I would definitely not dare to do this kind of design.

But regardless of reliability, the first round of salvo has already fallen on the shield of the Very Leopard. Eighteen of the thirty-six beams sent ripples and sparks across the shields, while other shells grazed the sides, shattering the floating rubble and chipping away at the protective walls of the pirate base behind. Large and small holes, flames and debris spewed out from those holes.

"Fire from the other side!"

"Fuck! He must be sick!"

Even without a report, everyone understands what happened-no, what the hell can this understand.

Inexplicably, this pirate ship followed the wake of the jump, and launched an extremely decisive attack the moment they met.Old Pigeon, you've never seen this kind of boat, have you?What kind of mentality is it to directly attack a warship that I have never seen before?
