The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

But soon, a plasma cannon hit the side of the third ship, and the plasma beam fired by the Long Night pierced through the cruiser's thermally enhanced shield without any effort.Even with the right resistance equipment, it is useless. The flagship-level output can easily tear through the cruiser's defense, and the Caldari-type warships rely too much on shields, so their structural strength is not very reliable.At that moment, the terrifying ray pierced through the hull, leaking out from the other side, the armor and internal partitions were roasted and evaporated in an instant, and the interior of the hull turned into a sea of ​​flames.

The internal force field stabilization system was working, but with little effect. The warship tremblingly fired the last round of bait, and then lost control, spinning and falling towards the Long Night.Immediately after she was hit again, the volley exploded into countless fragments.

[The third ship was sunk!The number of remaining baits is 130 three! 】

On the tactical view, the range of the warp force field generator has reached the Long Night, and Awey ignored the part submerged in the high-density atmosphere as much as possible, and controlled the hull to move towards the predetermined position——

This is not a gamble.

After the Covenant battleships sank the third ship, they still bombarded the decoys with all their strength, which showed that they were still unable to distinguish these things from the battleships.It's hard to say whether they were in a panic or couldn't be identified because of technical reasons, but no matter what the reason is, it shows one thing, that is, the gunners of the Star Alliance have a high probability of not stopping what they want to do next Ability.

"Release the invisibility of all members, release the bait with all their strength, and turn on the leap force field generator!"

【learn! 】

The warship lifted its invisibility, flipped its hull, and then shot out a large number of baits like a goddess scattering flowers, increasing the number of baits in the air to more than [-] in one go.The attacking firepower did suddenly increase, but at this time Aweiyi's mentality had calmed down.She stared at the countdown of the warp force field generator, the numbers on it jumped one after another, as if to echo the countdown, one after another plasma balls exploded around, this scene reminded her of the past The day I went on a ground attack mission over Crandorf.

Another cruiser was hit, the plasma blast scorching her side armor and thrusters at close range, and the explosion nearly tore her in three.The air was littered with scattered debris and wreckage.Aweiyi watched the fiery death beams rushing into his fleet time and time again with a blank face, and the countdown finally went to zero.

A huge transition force field was instantly formed, and the space of the entire area formed a whole, and then it was stripped from the material universe and pressed hard into the back of the world.Under the induction of the jump engine, the whole area rides the subspace tide like an iceberg falling from a glacier, being squeezed and galloping forward.

"Successful launch! Strike cruiser ready!"

For Reach Star, the result of this large-scale jump is not simply the stripping of the surface atmosphere.The unprecedented huge shock hit the atmosphere, and its shock wave collided with the atmosphere that rushed to fill the vacancy. The sound waves generated by the impact swept across the earth, and many soldiers' eardrums ruptured. The glass was shattered, many civilians were injured twice in the chaos, and the city fell into chaos due to the violent roar.But it doesn't stop there--

Space operations in close orbits will inevitably affect the gravitational system of the planet itself. In a few seconds, the force of space collapse sweeps across the surface of the planet. The first to bear the brunt are the soldiers on the battlefield. They feel a strong sense of weightlessness. , and even someone and the vehicle 'fall' a certain distance into the air, and then fell to the ground.The sea water pulled up hundreds of kilometers away formed a violent tide. They rushed up the dam, threw several fishing boats moored there and many net cages for breeding into the street, and then receded violently, leaving only a mess .

Extreme weather was rapidly formed over the Vieri area, clouds gathered in the sky, and then lightning and thunder, violent rain fell to the ground with the strong wind, as if to plan a layer of the ground.A large number of soldiers who could not hear their voices struggled to stand up in the mud and rescued their companions with difficulty, but they soon realized the status quo.

That is, the Covenant giant ship floating overhead is no longer there.

Chapter 1018 Chapter 57: When is the long night?

As the battle progressed to the present, Super Commander Luo Bratmi had already realized that many things were wrong.

Humans are equipped with many stealth warships. Their main job is to remain hidden on the edge of the battlefield to monitor and collect fleet movements and various information on both sides. Therefore, almost every large naval battle group will be equipped with a certain number of stealth warships according to the situation and fleet level. .In the early days of the war, the active optical camouflage system used by humans was inferior to the equivalent products of the Star Alliance. The battleship optical camouflage device of the Alliance Stealth System.

Judging from the information we know now, human stealth warships can remain invisible on the battlefield for quite a long time.But they almost never join the fight, as they are almost guaranteed to be detected by Covenant sensors whenever they enter a combat zone.Therefore, these warships basically find a suitable location to hide on the edge of the noisy battlefield - such as near natural celestial bodies or near the wreckage of the warship, and at the same time release a large number of drones to form a detection network to obtain intelligence without exposing themselves .

Some stealth warships will be equipped with powerful nuclear mines for space blockade work. In the past, these ships have secretly deployed nuclear warheads in orbit more than once in the invisible force field, waiting for an opportunity to kill the approaching Covenant warships.Luo Bratmi felt that they wanted to do the same this time, and there were a lot of doubts in it. For example, the position of this space jump was too precise with human technology, and after the stealth system was activated, it was almost completely invisible. any trace...

During the battle during this period, the humans on this planet showed a completely different fighting power from other places.A small amount of new equipment was used in small-scale troops, but the combat effectiveness of those equipment was amazing.In the previous battles, some tall and armored special soldiers occasionally appeared in the human army. Although they were extremely rare in number, every time they appeared, they would cause huge losses to the Star Alliance troops. Here, they became With the emergence of the establishment, the frontline troops report at least 800 to [-] people...

Scary! !

Where did it come from?Is this a training base for super fighters?

Humans must be conducting research and development of new technologies and research on the remains of the forerunners, and this is the core of it—as long as this place is captured, humans will lose most of their research capabilities and achievements, and this long war will soon come to an end .

And first of all, it is to catch those invisible guys before the nuclear warhead falls on his head.He issued an attack instruction to launch a wide-area strike directly above. Even if he couldn't hit it, he could still drive those cowards away from this area.

But soon, the other party's actions made him stunned.

After the first battleship was captured, it projected a large number of projectiles, and then placed a large number of decoys in the entire area.Before the gunners reacted, more decoys were deployed, and at the same time, all the warships that had been invisible before were released from stealth, and the number of decoys was increased here, while the sensors were flooded with alarms generated by the abnormal gravitational area.

At this moment, Luo Bratmi found himself in a trap——

"Hurry up! Shoot them all down!"

"Full shot! Shoot!"

Plasma beams and explosions filled the entire sky in an instant. Luo Bratmi nervously watched these things being destroyed one by one, and felt a little relieved, but as if to mock his stupidity, a sense of weightlessness suddenly swept over The entire bridge.The shell of the battleship made a loud rumbling sound—Ro Bratmi floated slightly into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground after the gravity system resumed operation. If he was not an excellent fighter, he might be acting in a very inappropriate manner right now. The posture is lying on the ground, right?Just like the grunts rolling everywhere now.

What just happened? !

"Report the situation!" He roared loudly, his voice whipping like a whip, and the rickety crew members immediately went to work. "Keep attacking! Don't..."

Luo Bratmi just wanted to continue talking, but the picture captured by the external viewfinder made him stunned - the human planet shrunk, it only occupied a small area on the screen, surrounded by only In the dark universe and countless stars, everything on the planet is not clear because of the distance.

"Why are we in this position?! What happened?!"

No one could answer his question, and Monk Zhang Er was at a loss for anyone at the moment.

Unlike Tartarus, who would place tech bulls in the headquarters of the attacking force, and let them take turns to ensure that the entire mission phase has a tech bull on standby to start working at any time, the Covenant's attack Although the troops will carry technicians, most of the technicians are 'engineers' (referring to the name of the race) responsible for maintaining the hull, and the work is basically after the battle. They will collect computers and other equipment from the abandoned UNSC ships. Network components, and then think about the technology inside, and use it for yourself.As Dr. Halsey said, the science of the Covenant is not so much discovery and creation as imitation or even plagiarism.

The technicians of the Covenant cannot work simultaneously with the commanders and combatants—of course, this is actually quite normal—which means that it is difficult for them to deal with unexpected problems encountered in battle.

Navigators rely on experience to quickly figure out what happened:

"A jump! We've been dragged into a short jump!"

Luo Bratmi was stunned, and he murmured:

"how is this possible……"

The Covenant's technology on the Slipspace propulsion system is a universe first, their engines create a gap between conventional space and Slipspace and expand it with surgical precision, which allows them to perform more precise and faster 'slides' ’, even in the atmosphere of a planet.But even so, forcibly dragging another warship into one's own jump is unheard of, and the Covenant has absolutely no technology in this area, and has never even thought about it... because there is not even such a need.

The other party can move the largest warship of the Covenant, which means that they are fully capable of posing an unprecedented threat to the Covenant fleet.

Also, what's the point of dragging a battleship away from a planet?Is it just to avoid bombing ground troops from high altitude?

No, not like that.Luo Bratmi narrowed his eyes. He knew that humans knew very well that with the jumping ability of the Star Alliance, such a small distance would not be of any use to stop the bombing. It would only take a few seconds for the warship to return to its original location. , It is impossible for the troops below to evacuate to a safe place in just a few seconds - they can't even run 100 meters, and the Long Night came back again.

The other party must have a backup, and the target is not someone else, it can only be this Long Night.

The battle has already begun.

So what should be done now?retreat?Or go back to the track and continue the original plan?

of course not!

I have one of the most powerful warships of the Star Alliance in my hands and choose to leave when facing the attack of humans, so what is my face?What do people in the Ministry of Passionate Prayer think of themselves?What will people who have been defeated by themselves think in the past?If he fled in front of human beings, he would not only lose the glory, but also everything he had won so far.

The communication shows that another Covenant force "Special Justice" is approaching this galaxy. It is one of the largest fleets of the Covenant, and its commander is Till Vadami, a veteran of many battles.If I can't get this planet and suppress all the human forces in this galaxy before he arrives, I will definitely be considered incompetent and ridiculed, and the large-scale fleet of "Special Justice" is more likely to take me Opportunity to find capital location.

I have only one choice, and that is neither to hide nor to escape, to stay here in a formation, to meet the human troops head-on and smash them here.

"Continue to clean up the surrounding human creations and burn them clean!" Luo Bratmi sat back on the command seat. "Turn on all the sensors, we are here to face those barbarians!"

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

How to fight a 29 km long warship?This is a question worth pondering.

Oregana has never fought against a Star Alliance warship, she can only guess the combat effectiveness of the Star Alliance warship from the combat records and data analysis provided by the UNSC—from those materials, the technicians of the Consolidation Department learned about the Star Alliance battleship. Information about the Shield of the Alliance.

Almost all Covenant ships are protected by high-resistance energy shields, which can withstand incredible firepower and recharge quickly, and are quite good against live weapons, while directed energy weapons ( Such as plasma) has a higher killing efficiency.But one thing must be understood, that is, the shields of the Covenant are all two-way shields. When starting an attack, if the shield above the weapon is not closed, the shells cannot be fired outside normally.This means that the shield of the Star Alliance is not an overall shield like Tartaros, but a joint shield formed by a large number of distributed shield generators.

A cannonball with strong kinetic energy can knock out a hole in the shield. If a conventional missile or nuclear warhead is shot through the hole before the opponent has repaired the hole, the power of the explosion will be blocked by their own shield. Inside, and directly acting on the hull to completely destroy the hull, this is how Admiral Cole defeated the Star Alliance back then.

But Oregana didn't think this method could be used against the Long Night.

First of all, Oregana herself drives big ships, and Tartarus is also good at building big ships and space fortresses. Everyone knows a truth, that is, the bigger the ship or the fortress, the stronger its defense. Scary high.A Titan ship can stroll in front of twenty conventional dreadnoughts, and an iron wall can easily receive one or two bombardments of doomsday weapons. The hardness of the distributed shield, which is not considered strong, is also amazing—not only the hardness of the shield, but also the strength of the armor.Even if she can break through the shield, conventional firepower may not be able to do anything about her.

So, she decided to use unconventional firepower.

Sitting on the bridge of the Tiamat, Oregana held her breath. On the tactical view, she could see that the enemy had already been taken out, and the only two remaining teams passed the "relay" method in one go. The Long Night was sent out for more than 2 kilometers, and then a light interceptor launched several transition disruption probes inside.But the other party didn't show panic—on the contrary, Long Long Night stopped while shooting the surrounding warships and decoys, as if beckoning the enemy to come and fight quickly.

Giving up maneuvering on the battlefield is a dangerous thing, but Long Night has enough confidence and strength for her to choose this style of play.

And this was right in Oregana's arms.

"Essex, start the attack." She ordered. "Don't attack by force, rely on long-range fire to distract the Covenant, and cover the strike cruiser."

【learn. 】

Essex, Chapter Master of the Fists of Tartarus, sounds reassuring, and she and her troops never disappoint in battle.

At her command, the fleet of the Fists of Tartarus floated up from the warp.Because the route determined by the sub-dimension submarine in the early stage makes the fleet no longer have to rely on projection, it only needs to sail through the subspace by itself. Often few have the technology to detect a fleet lurking in the Warp.

Floating up from the subspace to the material universe is a strike force focused on long-distance combat—its main strike force is thirty Phoenix-class dreadnoughts, surrounded by two squadrons of Pengkun-class battleships and Hill Boras-class heavy assault cruiser, which is best suited for long-distance and long-term sieges.

On the fleet's flagship Flying Dragon-class battle aircraft carrier, Essex led the fleet to the edge of the battlefield. Even a commander like her, who has long been accustomed to seeing all kinds of giant ships, couldn't help being stunned when she saw the long night—and then sighed He gave a large signal radius and gave the order to fire.

The Bastion cruise missile, which is hundreds of meters long, has surpassed all frigates in terms of size, and even approached the size of some destroyers.These things, which were more like small spaceships than missiles, flew out of the huge launch platform, and together with hundreds of purgatory cruise missiles flew towards Long Night, which was half a light second away.

"Six rounds in a hurry!" Essex stood in the middle of the bridge and touched the holographic projection of the battlefield with the command stick in his hand. "The direct guard fleet disperses! The bombers leave the ship!"

Judging from the layout, Oregana doesn't want to sink the Long Night. If she really wants to sink the ship dry, it's not a bunch of phoenixes here to throw missiles at long distances—whether it's a battle Empty Fort came in and fired with the Rainbow Sky Sword. It is better for the Doomsday Fearless Team to shoot in volley than the current one in all aspects.Coupled with the strike cruiser cautiously advancing to the assault distance, it was already clear what she was planning.

Countless propelling flames shone with dazzling light in the universe, they moved away at an alarming speed, and finally became a group of bright spots in the distant starry sky, and finally those bright spots stacked into one.Behind them was the second and third rounds of salvo, and the purgatory missiles selected for the Covenant shields were thrown out for free, and they moved forward in the universe like shimmering fish. group.

The Long Night shot out a blue light, and then the entire casing was flooded with red light, and the energy beam instantly illuminated the dim space.This super flagship showed her terrifying power, and the terrifying rays shot wantonly in the universe, just like a stick glowing red, swung in the universe one after another.A large number of missiles flew halfway, but were hit by the enemy ship's plasma energy beam and exploded into a ball of flames, disappearing into the universe like fireworks.

But the follow-up missiles and the rail shells fired by the Pengkun-class battleship had arrived almost at the same time, and the dark red flash produced by the explosion of the purgatory missile surrounded the entire battleship, as if he had died after being hit.The flames flickered and disappeared at once.The Long Night's shell wavered a few times like hot air on a summer road, then shone a metallic silvery light, and finally became bright white.

The flames dimmed, and the shell of the spaceship was gradually revealed. The Long Night was unscathed, and even the shields did not bear much pressure.

And the enemy's attack was also merciless - when the second round of missiles hit, the Long Night counterattacked as if it had reacted.She fired more than three dozen plasma torpedoes first, and Hirboras team immediately went up to them. They locked on to the flashing purple plasma torpedoes and fired missiles, trying to intercept them in midair, but the real killer move came.

A blue light flashed across its prow, which looked a lot like a plasma energy beam, but with a different silvery color than the energy beam.Before Essex could react, a Phoenix-class dreadnought next to it emitted a dazzling flash—the ray pierced through her shield and hit the weak armor of the battleship from the side, simply penetrating into the The hull, the terrifying energy contained in it triggered a violent explosion inside the hull.Although this couldn't sink the phoenix that overloaded the internal force field stabilization system, this blow had already pushed it to a desperate situation.

The next moment, there was an explosion in the Hiberas team that was rushing forward to intercept the mission, and then again - the light beam easily tore through Hiberas' shield, and at the same time it was like a sword shattered their slender hulls.The well-trained pilot immediately made an evasive maneuver, and the light chased the cruiser until it went out by itself, but soon the next shot came again.This is just a regular attack of the Long Night, but it is unbearable for the cruiser fleet, even the dreadnoughts that focus on defense capabilities are difficult to resist.

There is no doubt that this is the combat effectiveness of the super flagship level.Her direct destructiveness must be higher than that of conventional titan ships that do not use doomsday weapons. If this confrontation continues, Tartaros will lose.Just wearing the cloaking device, avoiding all kinds of wreckage, and hiding its whereabouts, the strike cruiser slowly approaching the Long Night has arrived at its position.

[We have arrived at the assault position!Feel free to start the next move. 】

"Very good." Oregana stood up, pulled out the data cable from the back of her neck, and tapped on the Titan's operation panel, "Forward, follow the plan!"

【give it to me! 】

Chapter 1019 Chapter 58: Super Flag Battle

Inside the Tiamat, the soldiers of the Guards are making their final battle preparations.

Compared with the previous Tiamat, this ship is now structurally more reasonable.The hangar is moved to the rear of the bow, and the space freed is used to equip the new doomsday weapon components, which makes it possible to equip the bow with stronger armor, and at the same time arrange the air force in a safer posture during the battle .The only problem is that there is no way to throw industrial ships full of bombs through the launch channel, but the overall performance increase is beyond doubt.

In the garage, a row of fox-shaped landing craft with tubes is ready to go, and the construction machinery is undergoing final fuel filling and system correction.The clang of metal and the hum of servers can be heard in the adjacent maintenance room.

[Ready to fight at any time!Check Arms! ! 】

During the communication, the commander's voice echoed in everyone's ears, and at the same time, the noise of energy filling devices and automatic loading machines rang out.
