Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge - Chapter 409

c409 Advantages and disadvantages

“boom!”

In the continuous bombardment.

The Pan-Galaxy United States was the first to suffer battle losses.

The shield of a pioneer ship was blown away by concentrated fire.

Without the shield protection, the ship’s hull was exposed to the firepower of the opponent’s main gun.

Huge blue beams of light swept through the starry sky and bombarded the hull that had lost its shield protection.

The scorching energy melted everything, and the explosive energy impact tore apart the pioneer ship’s hull layer by layer.

The tail flames ejected from the rear engine flashed.

After holding on for a few seconds, it went out.

Losing power, the burning pioneer ship slowed down and gradually separated from the fleet.

The battleship behind quickly raised its bow, barely avoiding the collision from above.

“The shield energy of the No. 8 ship is about to be exhausted and it has entered the effective range of the magnetic accelerator cannon. It is recommended to fire immediately!”

Yang Meiling rejected “Qin’s” proposal.

“No, it’s not close enough!”

The magnetic accelerator cannon is very powerful and is a powerful weapon for breaking shields.

The closer the distance, the greater the power.

Now it has just entered the effective range, and the magnetic accelerator cannon cannot be used to its maximum power within this distance.

“boom!”

As soon as Yang Meiling finished speaking, outside, on the left side of the view window, a violent explosion occurred on the hull of a pioneer ship.

The blue beams of light that struck the starry sky ahead hit the ship’s hull intensively and accurately.

A violent explosion suddenly occurred on the hull.

Metal fragments swept around like raindrops and hit the shield of the nearby pioneer ship.

It caused the shield to flash violently.

Another pioneer ship was seriously damaged under fierce enemy artillery fire and broke away from the fleet.

“Captain Ward, the enemy fleet is approaching at high speed!”

From the start of the battle to now, the enemy fleet has been rushing towards our fleet at high speed.

But looking at the opponent’s ship, it doesn’t look like it has the ability to fight at close range.

In conventional fleet battles, both sides would maintain a certain distance and set up formations for bombardment.

Could it be that the human fleet has some powerful weapon that can only be used at close range?

Thinking of this, Ward’s face tightened.

He waved his hand and said in a deep voice: “Close the distance from the opponent’s fleet, move forward at full speed, and fight in a roundabout way, quickly!”

Regardless of whether the opponent has a close-range killer weapon, he cannot let the opponent’s fleet get close to his own fleet.

In terms of sub-light speed, no one’s spaceship in the entire Dark Star Territory can be faster than the Apocalypse Clan’s spacecraft.

Following Ward’s order, outside, on the battlefield.

On both sides of the war, the engines at the rear of each ship in the Morgan family’s fleet emitted dazzling blue tail flames.

The fleet began to accelerate, moving away from the Pan-Galaxy United States fleet that was approaching at high speed.

“Marshal Yang Meiling, the enemy fleet is speeding away.”

Have your intentions been discovered?

Frowning slightly, Yang Meiling’s face darkened.

Can’t wait any longer…

With a wave of her hand, Yang Meiling said in a deep voice: “Notify all ships to immediately use the magnetic accelerator cannon, follow the flagship to lock the target, and focus the fire attack.”

The Morgan family’s shield technology is far more powerful than that of the Pan-Galaxy United States.

Since the war, the Pan-Galactic United States has lost two battleships.

But the Morgan family’s battle losses were still zero.

Is the Higgs charged particle cannon not powerful enough?

No, that’s not the case.

This is the gap between technologies.

Outside, as Yang Meiling used the magnetic accelerator cannon to communicate with each ship.

The remaining nine battleships had four huge gun ports opened on their bows.

Four accelerating rails run through the hull, which gives the magnetic accelerator cannon great power.

“Target locked!”

Without any hesitation or hesitation, Yang Meiling issued the attack order.

“attack!”

Following Yang Meiling’s order.

Flagship, one of the four gun ports on the bow flashed with blue electricity.

At that moment, dazzling electric light bursts flashed from the bows of each ship, and streaks of lightning shot out.

Its speed was so fast that it covered thousands of kilometers in an instant and rushed towards the Morgan family.

“boom!”

A Morgan family battleship was hit.

The shield on the armor’s surface flashed violently.

At that flashing moment, the shell directly penetrated the shield and bombarded the hull.

This was not the end yet. As one shell after another penetrated the shield, the battleship exploded.

The shell penetrated the armor, penetrated deep into the ship, and exploded inside.

It only lasted a few seconds before a huge explosion occurred from inside the battleship, turning into a huge fireball.

Metal debris swept around and hit the friendly ships, causing the shields to shine.

“Captain Ward, the Dakras was destroyed by a kinetic weapon!”

Kinetic weapons?

Ward saw the Great Klass turning into a huge ball of flames in the starry sky on the left.

If the projectile used by the kinetic energy weapon hits the shield, it should be directly smashed into pieces.

But the opponent’s shells can penetrate the shield and directly attack the ship’s hull.

It shows that the cannonballs are made of ultra-high-strength materials.

“Captain Ward, the attack is coming again, this time targeting the Ork!”

Outside, nine bolts of lightning flashed across the starry sky and rushed into the Morgan family’s fleet again.

Another battleship was hit and destroyed, bursting into dazzling fire.

The Pan-Galaxy United States is attacking, and naturally the Morgan fleet is also attacking.

Just as the second battleship of Morgan’s fleet was destroyed.

A Pangalactic United warship was also destroyed by the blaster beam.

“Not good, very bad…”

Ward’s face darkened at the destruction of the Ork.

If the next attack was aimed at the flagship, then…

Although the Apocalypse warships were very fast, they could not distance themselves in a short time.

The interval between the launch of the opponent’s kinetic weapons was very short.

In a few minutes, the remaining seven warships would be destroyed one by one.

“Retreat, jump immediately, quickly!”

Retreat?

The order from Ward made the staff in the bridge look stunned.

“Captain Ward, the mecha troops are still fighting with the opponent’s carrier-based aircraft, and there are still our civilians on the surface of the planet…”

“Execute the order immediately. The most important thing now is to save the fleet. We can only distance ourselves from the opponent by jumping. Contact Elder Hawke immediately. Cookie Star was attacked and we need support. Also, notify the mecha troops and let them leave the battlefield on their own. We will be back soon.”

He was careless. If he had known that the opponent had powerful close-range kinetic weapons.

He would not have allowed the opponent’s fleet to get close.

As long as the distance between the two sides was widened, the power of the opponent’s kinetic weapons would be greatly reduced.

Moreover, the kinetic weapon shells also fly at a slower speed.

Once the distance is too far, it is easy to dodge.

As Ward’s orders were conveyed to each ship.

Outside, the Morgan fleet, flying at high speed, suddenly jumped into the jump space.

Flashes of light flashed in the dark universe.

“Marshal Yang Meiling, the enemy fleet has jumped into the jump space.”

Did the Morgan fleet evacuate?

But after looking at the tactical map, Yang Meiling found that the enemy’s mecha troops were still there.

In other words, the Morgan family fleet evacuated the battlefield without even recovering the mecha troops?
