The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

After losing the heavy anti-aircraft guns, the ground forces cannot withstand the direct attack from the battleship, the effect of this air attack is far more than that of any bomber.The Star Alliance was defeated. They retreated in pieces or died on the ground. The armored troops advanced smoothly on the trembling ground. Allied troops.The raid so far went very well.

Seeing that they are about to enter the area covered by the last mask, but everyone is aware of a problem——

There are no Covenant warships in the sky... None of the SDV-class heavy frigates that used to show off in the surrounding area are there at this moment.

————————————————————

Luo Bratmi stared at the screen in the bridge, and he watched with satisfaction those golden, towering god machines that were burning the earth—there was no doubt that it was the creation of the forerunners, and its graceful steps , the sacred and majestic posture, the powerful firepower and the almost indestructible shield all prove this, and the blue eyes on the head also give this feeling.

So majestic and holy... nothing could be more profane than it should fall into human hands.After winning this war and finding all the relics here, he must burn all the humans here to ashes in order to clear up their blasphemy.

"Enemy forces are entering the landing field," a Sangheili reported. "We are shrinking our forces to bring humans in. Enemy frigates are within range."

He nodded, raised his right hand high——

"The whole ship is ready for battle! Lock on the human frigate."

"The fire control system is online, and the secondary gun is charged."

A series of instructions made the entire Long Night come alive. When she appeared in front of everyone, it represented only one thing, that is, the end is approaching—there is no large-scale evacuation operation on this planet, which makes Luo Bratmi is very happy, because this way he has a lot less things to do.Such as chasing the ships carrying the escaped criminals and sinking them all.

But when Luo Bratmi was thinking about his victory, the voice of the navigator suddenly broke the stable atmosphere in the bridge——

"Wait! Commander! There is a space reaction directly above us!"

"Ok?"

————————————————————

A squad leader of the [-]th Company of the Fists of Tartaros, the Owl-class space mobile cruiser jumped into the battlefield when the Covenant Army began to rout. They looked like UNSC warships, even painted UNSC on the hull. Text.They turned on the cloaking device immediately after finishing the jump, and from the perspective of the detection satellite, these warships only flickered on the screen and disappeared without a trace.

The team commander Aweiyi turned on the sensor, quickly entered a series of auxiliary commands on the operation panel next to the seat with his fingers, and then said in the communication:

"Keep a distance from each other, pay attention to the distance between the jump range and the atmosphere!"

【clear! 】

[The second ship moves 1 kilometers in the direction of B[-], and maintains a relative distance of [-] kilometers from the fourth ship! 】

[Moving. 】

The battle below was fierce, but looking down from the ship's scanner, there was almost nothing to be seen within the mask-it was no wonder that things had developed to this extent.Even the special ships of Tartarus can't easily see through the mask, how can the UNSC's monitoring satellites see through it?

Right now, this team is above the atmosphere, keeping a suitable distance from each other, creating a jump area with a radius of more than six hundred kilometers.This is the 'possible area' calculated based on the near-ground strike data of an Apocalypse-class dreadnought. If you want to deploy a flagship-class warship to attack the ground in a low-orbit area, then this is the most suitable location. .

Once the enemy jumped into this area, it was like a pigeon under the bamboo dustpan, and a few boats could pick her up and take her away in a single jump.But until now, the enemy super flagship that was predicted to appear has not yet shown signs of appearing.

This kind of waiting is the most uncomfortable, as if a balloon may explode at any time in front of you.Aweiyi swallowed her saliva, she adjusted the data of the sensor again, and scanned the battlefield—this was the only thing she could do now.

However, during the fourth scan, a strange energy reaction suddenly appeared on the scan list.Before she could realize what happened, a purple light bomb suddenly appeared out of thin air. It broke through the gravity of the planet and rose with terrifying momentum, passed through the area where the Aviyi team was located, and exploded hundreds of kilometers away. The plasma spreads into the surrounding tens of kilometers of the universe.

Three more rounds followed, and the shells exploded around. The nearest one almost reached the No. [-] ship on the outermost edge.The waves of energy swayed in the cosmic space, shaking the mobile squad waiting in that area.

"?!"

[Bombardment detected!Definitely an air attack! 】Squad member Ayigu Ur panicked and shouted 【We have been discovered! ! 】

[High energy response!The energy mode is the shipboard energy cannon! !But the sensors don't detect a boat here! 】

In an instant, the experienced Aweiyi realized something. She gritted her teeth and made an evasive action, recalibrated the sensor, and at the same time recorded the trajectory of the shelling, and performed a high-intensity scan of the launch area——

"Inside the mask... Gravity sensor parameter correction... Target discovery! Super flagship... No! Fortress level! How can this kind of thing be hidden?!"

That behemoth appeared on the scanner, and its huge size made people feel breathless—even though everyone was soaked in the hydrostatic cabin, the feeling of suffocation was still hallucinating.

The Concord does not have a warship of this size - its long axis of nearly 29 kilometers makes her more like a battle fortress than a super flagship.But this is indeed a battleship, she floats above the clouds, even the entire atmosphere, overlooking the battlefield and beating all beings.Even a titan ship would feel dwarfed by this stalwart body.

She is fully capable of burning down entire planets with a single ship, and at the same time, her terrifying concealment ability surprised everyone.

[In low orbit!Gravitational reactions and the planet's gravity stacked on top of everything!There's also the concealment field provided by the shelter tower, so we didn't find it! ] Ella Matthew also reacted immediately [Captain!We are too tall! 】

The opponent's position is not in the pre-estimated orbital bombing area, but in a lower place, that is, the top of the atmosphere.There's only one reason she's in that position, and that's where she can use the pre-placed mask to hide herself - The Long Night didn't intend to jump into the fray at all, because she was already there in the first place!

As long as she starts to attack the ground, the battle below will end immediately, and the matter has reached an extremely critical juncture.But why didn't she show up sooner?

Is it for undisturbed investigation of the Forerunner ruins?Afraid that humans will use the ruins as a base to fight a war of attrition?Or do you plan to lead all the troops here and kill them in a wave?

Avey has no time to think, she must complete the task——

"Lower the altitude immediately! Prepare to jump!"

[The opponent is at the top of the atmosphere!If you dance in that place, it will have an unknown impact on the local climate! 】

The risk of forcibly jumping at the top of the atmosphere is very high. The gravity of the planet will greatly interfere with the accuracy of the jump. In the vacuum area calculated in kilometers, the surrounding gas will quickly pour in under the influence of negative pressure in order to fill this space, disrupting the atmospheric circulation in the entire area.

Because there is no perennial meteorological data on Reach, no one knows what extreme weather and climate anomalies will be caused in the future, but——

[No matter how big the impact is, it is smaller than burning the entire planet into glass!Descent immediately to perform the jump! !Heavy Interceptor Cruisers and Strike Cruisers go into battle!The first flagship attack team warms up the engine and enters the field immediately after receiving the signal! ! 】

Oregana's serious voice appeared in the communication channel—even in battle, she was rarely so serious, and the transmission location of this communication was surprisingly the chief flagship Tiamat.

"start execution!"

No one asked any more questions.The fleet immediately began to evade, lowering the altitude almost simultaneously.The enemy probably detected the landing of the fleet through the space response, and because of invisibility, they couldn't find the location accurately, so they could only use this kind of wide-area attack to try to find the target.This shows that the opponent has a very good space detection ability, so the difficulty of the whole mission is the last six seconds.

It takes six seconds for the jump force field generator to actually jump, and the battleship will definitely be sniped during those six seconds.Can it be done?

She suppressed her uneasiness in her heart, and lowered her altitude under the aimless anti-aircraft fire——

"The second team releases the bait! The first team! Disarm the cloaking device - activate the jump force field generator!!"

Chapter 1017 Chapter 56: The roar of silence

The UNSC Grafton continued to advance, and the soldiers watched with joy as she swept the Covenant from the ground on Reach.The Star Alliance collapsed thousands of miles under the blow of powerful firepower, and fled to the rear one after another. The super electromagnetic acceleration turret located at the high altitude of the orbit was ready.Once the Covenant wants to pick up these routs with their warships, they're slapped to the floor like flies from top to bottom with heavy shelling.

It would be a great victory, and humanity overthrew the Covenant on the ground at a much smaller cost than before, not even destroying the battleship.

It was only at this time that Commander Stamforth, who was coordinating the overall situation, suddenly received a communication from the Coordination Department——

The Covenant super flagship was found 130 kilometers above the battlefield, and the troops were immediately ordered to evacuate.When the Tartarus military officer who was in charge of communication between the two sides in the space station reported to Stanfors anxiously, every word of this man revealed a tense atmosphere.It felt like the blade of a knife was scraping against a tight rope, and the boulder hanging below was directly above his head.

When hearing this news, no one in the headquarters panicked, and many people even thought it was a mistake—the absence of any transition response meant that a super flagship had been floating above the planet for several days. It's unbelievable.But soon, reports from monitoring stations proved it:

Covenant artillery fire suddenly appeared in the low-orbit area. It was impossible to determine its launch point, but it was possible to visually see the artillery beam across the universe, exploding in the air like fireworks.

The difference between the Tartarus side and the UNSC orbital station realizing this was at most ten seconds, and it was reported to the UNSC headquarters, and it took dozens of seconds for the headquarters to respond.Delays in the chain of command allowed the UNSC to miss the initial reaction time while Tartarus' space mobile cruiser formation was plummeting under the gunfire.

At the same time, the aristocratic squad that had just completed their assault on the ground was retreating. They cleared up several anti-aircraft emplacements and opened up a path for the frigate to advance.The captain of the Grafton also fulfilled the order given by the UNSC command a few minutes ago - to bombard the Covenant's shielding tower with a low-efficiency MAC cannon in the atmosphere, because its huge size and structural strength make it difficult to be attacked by ground firepower. destroyed.

On the Falcon helicopter, Noble VI watched the Grafton lower its bow through the helmet, and the arc was jumping beside the giant cannon of amazing size.The companions exclaimed:

"Using the MAC cannon in an atmospheric environment?"

Before he could finish his sentence, accompanied by a thunderous roar, the heavy projectile galloped on the acceleration trajectory that was half the length of the hull, splitting the air.When this powerful shell was fired, the shock wave that spread to the surroundings shook the surrounding air, and the air wave formed even made the Falcon helicopter trembled hundreds of meters away.Amid the cheers and curses of the soldiers, the shells smashed into the giant body of the shelter tower, and the giant tower, which was close to 200 meters, was blown up in the middle, and purple plasma flames gushed out from the breach, devouring those metal components frantically.

The shielding field flickered twice and then disappeared, and the communication and sensors returned to normal in an instant.At this moment, a flash of white light appeared out of nowhere, Noble Six instinctively covered his eyes with an arm.Even if it only passed through the eyepiece with good light-blocking performance, the light still almost blinded his eyes.

When he regained his vision, he felt the hairs on his arms wrapped in shock-absorbing gel stand on end.

The Grafton is going down.

The flash of light just penetrated the center of her hull, easily burned through the armor made of A-type titanium alloy, and destroyed all the capacitors at the end of the MAC cannon, the energy transmission system, and the structurally fragile middle section.The astonishingly high temperature rushed along the channel, burning everything that passed by. The melted hull could not bear its own stress, twisted and broke in the terrible creaking sound, like a bird with its wings broken, slow but irreversible fell to the ground.

"Oh, God……"

Someone moaned softly, and the voice was full of puzzlement and fear.

In the upper sky, a Covenant warship that has never been seen before is hovering there.It was like a cloud, a city, a nightmare from the long past, with an unparalleled sense of oppression, weighing heavily on everyone's hearts.

The anxious shout of the correspondent of the headquarters came from the communication——

[Grafton!Grafton!answer quickly! 】

"The Grafton has been sunk!" Emile-A239 calmed down first, and he received a communication report, "A Covenant warship appeared in the sky! It's very big!"

Now they have to evacuate no matter what, staying here can only become a target for the Covenant warships, and even...maybe all the people here will die in the next moment, just like the entire crew of the Grafton.

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the communication, and those few seconds of silence seemed as long as a century in the eyes of Emil.Even a Spartan would feel helpless in such a situation.He desperately hoped that his superior could say something and issue an order that could change the status quo and save these soldiers—but reason and years of experience told him that everything was irreversible.

Generosity is just now... But being blown to death by a battleship's guns is not a good way to die. As a Spartan soldier, he is not afraid of death, but Emil prefers to die in a more valuable and manipulable place. During the battle...

After a long time, but really only a few seconds, the correspondent suddenly broadcast a broadcast to all combatants on all channels.That was not an immediate retreat, and of course it was not a surrender, but a strange order that sounded unbelievable and incomprehensible——

[Attention everyone in the battle area, grab the things you have fixed on the ground, and execute it immediately! 】

What does it mean?

Grab what's on hand?And it's fixed on the ground?

"I can't understand what they are saying." Kate-B320 seemed very impatient, but she still grabbed the handrail next to the door of the Falcon helicopter with her mechanical arm. "Why do you have to hold on?"

"Hey, Kate," Emil pointed to her right hand. "The order from above is 'grab something fixed on the ground'. I think we'd better land right now."

"But what does it mean?"

"How do I know." He knocked on the bulkhead of the Falcon, and said to the pilot, "Look for a place to land, preferably by the edge of the woods. Later we have to go down and find a tree to hug. Like those who practice climbing Like a new recruit."

[Sounds like I'll have to do the same... Finding a tree to cuddle with right when the Covenant bombardment is coming is crazy. 】

The driver whispered something that was obviously not good for morale, but no one cared about morale at the moment—when an enemy warship tens of kilometers long was floating above his head, the average soldier would not There would be no such thing as morale.He lowered the height obediently. Of course, there were no woods or other places beside him, but there was a bridge not far away. Although the bridge itself had been blown up in the previous battle, the remaining structure was still fixed on the ground.

But before the Falcon helicopter landed, the terrible dizziness suddenly hit everyone on the helicopter without warning.Noble Six realized that he was floating in the air, and he immediately opened the armor lock to prepare for the impact.The helicopter wobbled in the air, as if being shaken by an invisible hand. The pilot tried desperately to stabilize the fuselage, but even with his best efforts, the Falcon helicopter still crashed crookedly in the end. to the ground.

————————————————————————

The hull was shaking violently.

Aweiyi focused on controlling the descent of the battleship. She kept the orbit as stable as possible, but it was not easy-the enemy's firepower was getting denser and denser. It would be fine if this kind of range damage was in a pure universe, but This is not a vacuum universe.

This altitude has already entered the ionosphere, and the waves of the upper atmosphere are blown by the exploding plasma bombs, pounding the shield of the space mobile cruiser in bursts.Warning messages are constantly popping up on the panel of the stealth system, which means that the system has been pushed to the limit. If the disturbance is stronger, the stealth system will fail.

If it fails here, it will face the firepower of the super flagship at a distance of a buried battle.No cruiser can withstand all of this. Once it becomes like that, it indicates that the entire mission has failed, and all troops on the ground will be wiped out.Her sweat disappeared into the buffer as soon as she broke out, all her attention was on the tactical view and ship operation.

The third ship took shape under the blow of a near-miss, her shields glowing conspicuously under the fierce blowing of scorching plasma.After realizing that he could no longer hide, the driver decisively activated the afterburner and began to maneuver, launching all the decoys that had already been loaded into all the launchers at the fastest speed.

It wasn't something as simple as shards or hot baits—those baits swelled up quickly after being activated.The memory metal film unfolded according to the preset specifications, and quickly expanded into the appearance of a battleship, and on the radar scanning picture, they were no different from a battleship.The built-in rocket motors were also activated simultaneously, and these frightening 'battleships' with low density rushed out at an extremely fast speed.

Within a few seconds, there were more than forty decoys wandering randomly in the surrounding area, which immediately attracted the attention of the Covenant fire control computer.In an instant, purple light bullets flew up like hail, chasing those 'battleships' and the exposed space mobile cruisers.The inside of the bait is empty, and there is nothing except the rocket motor at the tail. The plasma cannon penetrated the outer shell, pierced through the other side, and pierced the bait, but this did not affect the bait to continue to run around. Traits allow them to draw more firepower.The No. [-] ship took advantage of this opportunity and continued to release the next round of bait, and then the next round.
