At this time, the battle has entered its tenth hour, which means that everyone's engines have remained at full load for the same amount of time. Even the engines of the Yanlong-class dreadnoughts finally began to lament overload, and their speed began to slow down.
But what is shocking is that the community battleship on the opposite side still appears to be full, healthy and in high spirits.
At this point, even the most insensitive people have to admit that if this situation continues to remain deadlocked, one's own side will be at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, nearly a hundred assault landing craft on the four Phoenix aircraft carriers, as well as more than 40,000 stormtroopers, were ready to go.
This is also the last card for the Imperial Fleet.
"Let the Hippogriff be in position and release her escort fighters. Our aerial stranglehold has reached a stalemate. As long as there is another fresh force, we can open up a channel for charge." Admiral Mergash said.
The chief of staff had no objection. By this time, even as a defeatist counselor, he really had no other options.
"Where are those new boats?"
"Let Jewel Bow 4 return and be responsible for flank protection of the fleet. They are Holy Shield Type 3, which have enhanced anti-aircraft firepower. Those ships of the Earthlings may be enhanced interceptors or special attack bombers, but..." Mogash The admiral's brows jumped, and he suddenly realized something, and added: "No, let all the holy shields retreat and prepare space shock bombs."
The chief of staff also understood what the other party meant: "You are worried that the people on earth will use space bubble torpedoes."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. After the Battle of the Far Shore, although the people on earth returned the space bubbles, there were signs of being dismantled, and one of them was even extremely damaged. Although Tiangongyuan believes that the people on earth want It will take at least ten years to restore the space bubble generation technology, but after all, the dangerous Dragon of Dawn is involved in the whole process, it is difficult to imagine what he will not do.”
The chief of staff was not surprised. The big guys in the Privy Council attach great importance to the Red Star Office in the hands of the dangerous Dragon of Dawn, and they all believe that it has the possibility of becoming another future laboratory, or even the Tiangong Institute.
However, the big guys in the Privy Council still feel that before the Red Star Office really turns into a laboratory of the future, it will either be incorporated and dismantled by the Lords of the Earth, or the Dragon of Dawn himself will have to be dismantled. Divided.
Of course, there is another possibility here, but that is a story for another day.
"The only lightning strike that can pose a threat to a battleship is a small ship. If it is a space bubble torpedo, the threat will increase exponentially. The past twenty exercises have proven this." said the chief of staff.
"Fortunately, the battle on the far shore that no one expected, but he taught us how to deal with it. Oh, what an irony of fate." Admiral Mergash made a hearty, or rather too hearty, shout. laughter.
The chief of staff nodded in agreement. But at this time, he suddenly felt a little indescribable fear. If you think about it carefully, the "Dragon of Dawn" seems to have the upper hand every time. During the battle of the Far Shore Nebula, it was obviously the first actual combat of space bubble torpedoes, but that person seemed to have already had a response plan. The separation zone formed by a row of space shock bombs completely neutralized the properties of the space bubble.
It was as if he had seen the future.
The security department believed that in all likelihood, there was a mole in the military and Tiangongyuan, and this caused all departments to be in a state of confusion for a long time.
But, is it really just that? What if it is really another possibility?
What can those new weapons called "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" and those White Devil fighters mean?
Thinking of this, the chief of staff almost made himself laugh. Even at this age, he was still dreaming. Even if I am a conservative defeatist strategist, I would not be able to say such strange things.
Moreover, now, the situation of the war no longer allows me to think about anything else. At this time, the dreadnought Duke of Eva, located on the right side of the flagship, was hit by a light spear. Although this shot did not tear open the shield, it represented a not very good signal.
This may mean that in the fleet movements of both sides, the other side has achieved better shooting range with its superior performance.
His guess was indeed correct. Then another burst of overwhelming orbital artillery shells came over, with vague spiral electromagnetic ripples behind them that had not yet dissipated.
The unlucky Duke Eva was hit four times on the spot. One of them broke through the shield and hung on the side, forming a heart-stopping explosion zone. The good news is that the armored belt was not completely breached. The bad news is that at least three to five broadside batteries were taken away.
The better news is that the mood of Admiral Mergash of the flagship Glory Knight and the fleet command is very stable. As early as twenty minutes ago, when the mechanical team sent the message that the engine was overheating, they had anticipated this.
"Don't think about seizing the T position anymore. The entire ship has full left rudder, this side forward! This side forward!" Admiral Mergash roared loudly: "Cover the aircraft carrier! Cover the aircraft carrier's movement!"
The formation of four Phoenix aircraft carriers had broken away from the formation and rushed towards the Community fleet in a straight line. At this moment, these armored aircraft carriers are more like knights than dreadnoughts.
But that's understandable. This Phoenix-class aircraft carrier is originally famous in the universe for its so-called dreadnought-level protection level. Of course, with such an extreme design, it brings other extreme effects, such as limited hangar capacity, limited equipment capacity, and difficult to describe supply and maintenance conditions. As a result, it is naturally unable to carry more types of fighters, and there are many loopholes in the tactical design.
But, so what?
The Phoenix-class aircraft carrier is designed for this kind of extreme combat. She never needs to carry seven or eight types of fighter aircraft, does not need arsenals and maintenance facilities that serve dozens of bomb loading standards, and does not need these flashy attack methods. These assault landing craft on board, as well as the stormtroopers armed to the teeth, are the sharpest beaks and claws of the Phoenix aircraft carrier.
Before that, the only escort fighters on the four aircraft carriers had all been dispatched. They were ready. Even if the entire army was destroyed, they would still have to clear a charge channel.
At this time, Viscount Nebot, as the commander of the gang-hopping war, had already put on his coat of arms and was on standby in one of the landing craft.
The top astral knights can ride the Star Dragon Seed in gang-hopping charges. That is the sharpest tactic and unit of the imperial army.
However, the living and raising conditions for those noble dragon species are quite harsh, and they are not used to living in the cramped and cramped cabins of the Phoenix class. Basically, only Titan ships or specialized dragon ships have "beautiful" dragon nests.
What's more, their military operation this time is a gamble. The big bosses of the Privy Council are not so extravagant as to gamble with dragons and Titan ships.
Loudly shouted on the public channel: "Brothers! What a difficult journey this was. We spent three weeks in the terrifying galaxy where no one has reached before we finally arrived here! We overcame this for the sake of victory. All the obstacles are needed to get here. Now, we only need the last battle, the last charge, and the last victory! Then, in just three weeks, we can go home with honor and generals. Wherever you imagine you are, you will be. Now, stay in formation! Get ready to move forward with me! If you suddenly find your airship moving over the green fields, and the sun is shining on your face, don't It feels strange because you have reached heaven.”
He took a deep breath and injected the most contagious emotion in his life into his voice: "Brothers, everything we have done in this life will be rewarded in the next life! The glory of the empire is eternal!"
"Glory is eternal!" The officers and soldiers of the stormtroopers shouted in unison, as if their shouts could pass through the barriers of space and directly shock the people on the opposite side of the earth.
Not to mention whether these stormtroopers will gain higher fighting spirit as a result, the four aircraft carriers have already formed a domineering charging formation, heading straight towards the Earth Fleet.
However, just when these phoenixes began to make movements to break away from the formation, the Tiger and Leopard Riders, who were approaching cautiously, suddenly accelerated and came towards the Imperial Dreadnought.
Of course, this change cannot be hidden from the monitoring of the Imperial Army's top brass.
"They are coming!" the chief of staff shouted.
Admiral Mojiashi snorted coldly: "So, this is really the trump card of the people on earth? Just let me see it."
The three Holy Shield cruisers headed directly towards the direction of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. All the gravity tractors on their ship are ready to throw hundreds of space shock bombs at any time.
Of course, the imperial troops who were on standby did not know that the public channel of the sixteen Tiger and Leopard Cavalry also resounded with the voice of Colonel Gao Lanfu: "Okay, the time to attack has appeared. Everyone should also be very aware of their own Mission. I was in the first wave, then Lieutenant Colonel Snart, then a member of the Pioneer Party and the Lionheart Society. Remember, Space Bubble. The duration will be 45 seconds, and your attack time cannot exceed 40 seconds. I still say that, as long as you don’t forget all the moves you learned during training, there is nothing to be afraid of! Lan Tianmen is right in front of you! The Star Motherland is watching us! Everyone, everyone, follow my orders and activate the wings of light!”
In this way, the sixteen Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were under the attentive sight of the Imperial Army. They stopped the optical camouflage they used when sneaking, and opened their wings of light that were longer than the hull of the ship. They were like night owls emerging from hiding their heads and tails. Transformed into an angel descending into the sky.
