The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

But with the idea of ​​making the best use of everything, Kruse still tries to make this thing useful.He used fourteen gravitational traps to set up a standard fire trap area. Under normal circumstances, the opponent would enter the preset battlefield because the gravitational traps interfered with the navigation system, making the lock error, and there were empty mines waiting for them. and anchored turrets.

But this time, there was no anchored turret, only empty mines.Because it is impossible to be sure whether the other party will really be deceived, it is just arranged like this with the attitude of giving it a try.The notice to the Gaia Sanctions Committee is that if the mobile fortress really comes, then aim and shoot him directly.

The relevant person in charge of the Gaia Sanctions Committee really prepared with great enthusiasm, but the result was not satisfactory...

"Buoy No. 45 was destroyed by a space shock!" The observer's report was the clarion call for the battle to begin. "The target appeared! Jumping at Jupiter!!"

"Didn't the final decisive weapon come in handy after all..." Speaking of it, ZAFT has built so many Genesis, it seems that it has not been used at all until now... However, if it is used, it means that some bugs have rushed to the solar system , Sure enough, it is better not to use the ones over there.Kruzer touched the mask and connected to the command link, "Dreadnought Fleet, start the leap, and the Direct Guard Fleet will follow to carry out air defense! Qian Zhengling enters the second interception position, and uses the 'Rainbow Sword' to nail it to death after it is in place!"

【learn! 】

At this moment, on the other side of the battlefield...

"The long-lost solar system...where it begins and ends."

The hull vibrates slightly, which is the unique feeling when jumping out of the subspace, even the inertial stabilization system with good enough performance cannot completely offset this weak vibration.

Last time, everyone left the solar system with confusion and regret... No, that's not called leaving, that's called fleeing in a hurry.Destroyed the earth and destroyed the only hometown of mankind. Since then, the crew of this ship have been burdened with sins that cannot be washed away no matter how much pain they endure.But today, Arcadia has returned to the battlefield where he fled. Today, everyone will cleanse themselves of the guilt they bear and let everything start from scratch.

Mimi felt her hands trembling slightly, she had never been so happy in hundreds of years.For a long time, she has endured everything alone, no one can say, and no one can say.As long as you close your eyes, you can see the beautiful and prosperous picture of that year, but when you open your eyes, there is only loneliness, and the ruins and relics that remain to this day.

I can finally be free today.

"The hyperspace voyage is coming to an end... five, four, three, two, one...jump out!"

Accompanied by the bright light, the familiar solar system appeared in front of us...

"..."

"what……"

"?!?!"

Familiar with a hammer Oh!This is how the solar system looks like! ?

What appeared in everyone's eyes was not only the familiar solar system, but also the familiar fleet of the Gaia Sanctions Committee... Less than two seconds after jumping out, a large leaping light swished in front of them, and the radar The map was suddenly filled with a large number of identification signals that had never been seen before.

That's a whole fleet plus something that clearly goes beyond battleships...

【My God... this is...】

"Don't stand still! The attack is on!" Harlock grabbed the communicator and yelled at the people staying behind in the monitoring station, "Today, no matter what, we must rush in!"

On the opposite fortress, Commander Cyrus Layard looked at the behemoth that jumped in, and couldn't help wiping his sweat——

This thing is simply beyond my imagination... It is a circle larger than Qian Zhengling, and its energy response is already close to the larger iron wall, so it must not be a simple thing.The scanner cannot determine where the opponent's turret is installed and what attack method it has, which makes past experience completely useless for this fortress.

But anyway... execute the order first.

"Rainbow Sword is charging, the target is the enemy's fortress." He said loudly, "The iron cavalry attack aircraft formation is coming! Keep a distance from the enemy's fortress, find the enemy's target and attack by yourself, don't let the warship go to Jupiter's side !"

【learn!Attack aircraft depart!The launch tube is on! 】

The graviton rays above and below the fort began to charge, blue light flashed in the muzzle.At the same time, the airport gates behind the fort opened one after another, and in addition to the formation of carrier-based aircraft, there were also a plurality of small interceptor ships rushing out of it one after another.After they completed their formation, they approached the enemy fortress under the leadership of the squad commander.

These small machines did not attack from the front, not because the pilots did not have the courage to go straight to the fortress, but because they wanted to reserve space for the next attack.

"The energy is filled to 98%, and the barrel pressure is stable!"

"emission!"

Hearing Commander Cyrus' order, the fire controller repeated:

"Launch! Rainbow Sky Sword—Activate!"

In an instant, two blue cannon beams exploded at the muzzle, and at the same moment, the cannon cluster above the opponent's fortress shone brightly, and green energy sparks converged directly in front of the fortress, and then fired the same majestic cannon beam——

The rays of light criss-crossed in the void of the universe, each passing a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, like a knight in plate armor confronting each other head-on, stabbing the spear in his hand fiercely at the opponent.

The Rainbow Sky Sword split open the opponent's shield, and the graviton beam that looked like a solid solid broke through the protection of the armor. The high-strength alloy, crystalline fiber, and stabilizing force field finally failed after resisting it for a few seconds.The light beam pierced through the outer wall, pierced through the interior with the momentum of tearing everything apart, twisted and shredded everything in its path, and the terrible roar exploded in multiple cabins at the same time, and the space seemed to be on fire.

And the power of that green light was not under Hongtian Sword, it hit Qian Zhengling's shield like a war hammer swung by a giant.The shield trembled violently, seemingly blocking the blow - but in fact it didn't!The terrifying energy lightning exploded downward at the hit site, cutting through the complete armor that should have been protected by the shield like a welding torch.At the hit site, small white light bubbles quickly emerged, and one hole after another was pierced through the thick armor, and the vibration accompanied by loud bangs shook the entire Mobile Fortress.

"Commander! Areas No. 70 to 77 are damaged! We lost four groups of missile launchers, and the energy supply of the sixth artillery group has been slightly affected!" The voice of the communicator seemed a little excited, after all, such fist-to-body fights are not common, This made everyone in the main control room feel extra excited.

"Call the damage control team and let them restore the energy supply of the sixth artillery group immediately!" The commander stood and gave the order, and he said loudly, "After the gun body is cooled down, the Rainbow Sword will continue to charge! The other artillery guns will start firing! Give me Hit, hit until the cannon is hot!!"

"understand!"

It seems that the enemy's defenses are not very strong - if this continues, even if the Titan ship on standby does not use doomsday weapons, this fortress can be taken down with just a thousand expeditions.

For a moment, Commander Cyrus really thought so.

----------------

After seeing the opponent's firepower, Duojilang's face was ashen:

"Continuing like this, the two sides can only die together."

Now, the conventional artillery of the two sides is going back and forth, and large and small explosions are constantly exploding on the shield-but the firepower of the other side is obviously much stronger.Those tower-like warships with strange appearances used unreasonably large caliber heavy artillery to continuously fire from a long distance, bombing the fortress at a distance obviously beyond the effective range.

Why is it clearly beyond the effective range?

Because the opponent is obviously covering the shooting - after the shells fly over, the positions of the impact points are all random, and there is a deviation of tens of kilometers between the first round and the second round. If it is a fleet battle , This kind of hit rate can't hit anyone.However, the mobile fortress can still hit a lot of hits. After all, the size of the mobile fortress is here, even if it deviates by tens of kilometers, it is still on the big plate.

"It's not that we all died together, but that the other party won." Hallock said calmly, "Mimi, I'm leaving the control of the fort to you, and then release the unmanned ship to buy us time."

"Do you want to directly attack the earth?"

"It's not that easy - judging from this posture, the sensor shows that the opponent has deployed troops on the other side of the earth, and we have to lure a little more."

"But before the introduction, the fortress was..."

"It's okay, I've already mastered the opponent's attack pattern." Mimi shook her head lightly, "Then I just need to make some fine-tuning..."

She lightly touched the operation panel that only she could see with her hands in the empty air, and then, the shape of the fortress changed—the four structures that were originally gathered on the ring belt outside the fortress unfolded, The structure composed of a large number of folding structures, when unfolded, is dexterous like a creature, which is reminiscent of a plant with leaves stretched under a slow-motion camera.

Afterwards, Duojilang noticed that the space readings had changed.When he looked up, he was surprised to find that the artillery beams fired by the enemy, when they were about to hit the fortress, twisted in an extremely abnormal manner, drew a strange arc around the fortress, and then went far away. flew into the universe and disappeared.But this doesn't work for every shell, there are still a small number of shells that will hit the target, competing with the shield, but once the hit rate drops, the blow that the fortress will suffer will be different.

"This is... what's going on?" He never knew that this space station, which had been inhabited for a long time, had such a function.

"If you can make your projection in the space smaller, then it won't be so easy to be hit," Mimi exhaled slightly seeing that the ancient system was working normally, "Also on Arcadia. This set of equipment is installed, but it cannot be used at will due to energy consumption, and the fortress can be used for a longer period of time.”

In this regard, Duo Jilang couldn't say a word.

As a technician who has been assisting Harlock, he feels as if he has been kept in the dark—whether it is Harlock, Mimi, the monitoring station or Arcadia, it has become so strange.

In a trance, he didn't seem to know what he was doing, the fire outside, the vibration and all kinds of data became ambiguous.When his eyes drifted to Harlock, he seemed to see that Mimi seemed to be connected with Harlock, and her upper body seemed to grow out of Harlock's waist, which was creepy to watch.

He couldn't help but close his eyes and shook his head, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that Mimi was just standing next to Harlock.

How is this going? !Are you tired?

You can't do that in battle!He urged himself to cheer up, focus on the radar chart and the ship, and try his best to pay attention to all kinds of details that might be overlooked by the captain.This is especially important for winning battles.

"Okay, let's do it." Harlock held the tiller. "Next, it depends on whether they come or not. Arcadia, let's go!"

The gates at the back of the fort opened one after another, and the universe outside filled the entire line of sight in an instant.Arcadia and six unmanned warships that looked like manta rays sailed into the universe. The light warships that had already surrounded the vicinity certainly would not miss this opportunity. They approached like hyenas the moment the gate opened. Fire a ton of missiles at Arcadia in the middle, but the manta won't let them do so.

Those green electric arcs continuously jumped between the missiles and the light warships, sharply destroying the missiles, and the fragile attack aircraft did not have much difference in front of the missiles in front of the electric arcs.Under the protection of these manta rays, Arcadia quickly rushed out of the encirclement net - on the way, it tried to shoot at the towers equipped with giant cannons, but regretfully noticed its own shelling He couldn't even break through the shields of those giant towers, so he stopped staying and quickly fled.

"Captain Kruse, the ghost ship has left, and now the Gaia fleet is chasing it—" the commander reported, "It seems that a strange thing has been opened on the other side's fort—I don't know how it did it, but this The signal radius of the fortress on the sensor has become surprisingly small, as if turning on the miniature jump thruster in reverse, expanding the space around him..."

[If the ghost ship comes to the earth, leave it to us, and the final defense line has been deployed, don't worry. 】Kruse's answer is firm and powerful 【That kind of defense system consumes a lot of energy, it cannot be used for a lifetime.Your job is to get him stuck in there - watch him move, report as soon as the defenses go down, the Axis will fire the doomsday weapon, understand? 】

"Understood!" Cyrus saluted the screen, but at this moment, the radar officer suddenly said:

"Commander, the detection buoy found something in the subspace, the error value is very large..."

"What? Is it reinforcements?"

He connected to the system, read the data, and the expression on his face became strange—it wasn't reinforcements at all. If it was reinforcements, he could more or less read some energy responses unique to activated battleships or fortresses.But the thing detected by the buoy now has only a slight residual energy, like a space hulk that has been out of control for a long time.

This kind of thing drifts with the current in the subspace at best, wherever it goes, the reason why it floats here now seems to be because of the continuous space fluctuations here, as well as a large number of distortions and changes, it just slowly attracts it. here we go.

Judging from the trajectory...

"This angle...won't it hit the green fortress opposite?"

"I think it's very possible..."

--------------

"Arcadia coming this way! Shoot!"

On the outskirts of Jupiter, the Gaia fleet fired a brilliant salvo at the galloping pirates, but this round of shooting did not cause any damage—a manta ray blocked Arcadia's front and was shot by thousands of beams. It was smashed to pieces, and its high-tech shell did not allow it to survive for a long time in the face of absolute material, and it was smashed to death by the equivalent.

But then, the situation seemed to be reversed - green arcs and orange beams were fired one after another, the pirates roared and tore through the Gaia fleet's defenses, firing in all directions, turning everything they could see into a sea of ​​flames.The sluggish Gaia fleet can't keep up with their rhythm. In the final analysis, the design of the capital ship of the Gaia fleet is to face the bombardment head-on and take advantage of firepower to defeat the enemy. It was almost impossible to play out.

"Are reinforcements coming?"

"The two Gaia fleets in Earth orbit are accelerating, and those from other places are also coming! The unknown fleet has not moved for the time being, and they seem to decide to stick to it."

"It doesn't matter, wait until they are concentrated on Jupiter's orbit, and trap them with unmanned ships. That unknown fleet is indeed powerful, but they are too close to the earth. Even if we are destroyed at that distance, there is still a way to destroy them." Drop the space shock warhead." There seemed to be a trace of relief on Harlock's face, he turned the steering gear and shouted loudly, "Concentrate the firepower on the port side! Target! Jupiter acceleration ring! Shoot!!"

Under the horrified eyes of the soldiers of the Gaia fleet, the Arcadia, which broke through the defense, fired at the acceleration ring that was ready for battle. A rift, molten debris spewing out of the rift accompanied by flames, like a volcanic eruption.In the seconds that followed, the outermost ring snapped off in a series of explosions, and the lost traction debris drifted slowly toward the surface of Jupiter, smashing another ring on the way.

All of this is too fast for people to react. The Gaia fleet has not even completed its turn yet. It can only bombard Arcadia with the rear secondary artillery, but neither the hit rate nor the damage is satisfactory. .

After destroying the acceleration ring, Harlock let out a sigh of relief - in this way, the opponent would not be able to bombard the fortress with super weapons.But now is not the time to relax... In the blink of an eye, the surrounding area was once again illuminated by the light of the jump engine, and the Gaia fleet appeared thousands of kilometers away in a gesture of encirclement.

"There are quite a lot of miscellaneous soldiers." He glanced around and couldn't help but spit.The miscellaneous soldiers are not worth fearing, but the huge number of miscellaneous soldiers is enough to be called a threat "It's time to leave, Yami, order the unmanned ship..."

But at this moment, the gunner yelled in panic:

"Captain! Starboard!"

"Starboard?"

Before he had time to look over, a red light flashed in front of his eyes, and a strong explosion occurred on the starboard side, and the violent vibration caused the entire bridge to shake.

There is no doubt that this is a powerful sense of shock that only naval gun shooting can bring.

When Harlock saw the warship that had the guts to end the transition at such a distance and bombarded him at close range, his expression froze.

It was a dark green painting, equipped with triple beam turrets, and a large battleship decorated with skeletons.Like Arcadia, her stern also has a poop-like structure imitating the old-style Galen sailing ship. The black skull flag is unfolded on the mast at the stern, and the empty eye sockets seem to be staring at herself.

And the optical equipment easily captured the appearance of the opponent's bridge——

A man (big man) was standing on the bridge, holding an old-fashioned roulette steering gear in his hand. He was wearing a black pirate suit with a long cloak hanging behind him.He seemed to say something to his subordinates, and then looked back to his side.

Through the camera, Harlock felt that he and the other person met each other's eyes, and the familiar feeling made him feel breathless.Familiar blindfolds, familiar scars, everything on that face was extremely familiar to him—because it was his own face.

"Who are you?"
