Chapter 1782 We are just humble hounds
The Pilgrimage, which almost caused another tragedy just now, ignored the more than 300 large and small imperial warships behind it, and turned around like this, heading towards the other shore. The stars sail away. The dragon ship that was supposed to belong to the empire, even its movements when leaving were so mighty, domineering, and handsome.
Looking at this scene, Lieutenant General Midbexi only felt a lingering fear in his heart, and his two limbs were trembling. He felt that he was not a qualified imperial general at all, but more like a sheep that escaped from the dragon's mouth and ascended to heaven.
Of course, this is no longer important. The important thing is that he survived and did not follow in the footsteps of his old classmate Karaman. I promise the spirit of the universe that one of them is the son of a great nobleman, and the other is a question maker from an ordinary citizen's family. They were enemies when they were students. But even so, Lieutenant General Midbexi really didn't want his old classmate whom he had known for thirty years to disappear just like that. As for going down to accompany him or something, he was even more grateful.
When the Preview completely entered the gravity well and disappeared from the other side of the sky, Lieutenant General Midbesh finally retracted his panic-filled eyes, squeezed out a dry smile, and ordered the adjutant: "Immediately Statistical loss.”
The adjutant finally calmed down from his panic, nodded to the commander, then staggered away and conveyed his order. However, even when he repeated the commander's order, his voice was trembling, and he had not recovered from the shock at all.
However, you can’t blame him. In fact, most of the officers and soldiers on the bridge of the Golden Skull were like this.
An hour ago, when the dragon carried the man across the sky, the spear formed by the light beam roared towards him, but it was blocked by a brave destroyer, who turned his body into a shield.
Whether this destroyer was really brave and fearless served as a shield for the flagship, or whether it was unlucky and passive and became a human shield, it no longer matters.
The important thing is that they survived, but some died.
The battle damage report was quickly tallied up: in addition to the sinking of the destroyer Zephyr 118, which acted as a human shield, two light cruisers were also sunk. In addition, a heavy cruiser was seriously damaged. Overall it's still within the acceptable range.
Of course, this is while ignoring the damage to the flagship.
"The flagship Golden Skull was injured. The anti-matter torpedoes were concentrated on the starboard side, the No. 4 armor belt was completely damaged, and cabins D4 to D8 were broken."
Lieutenant General Midbech first covered his chest with his hand. , touched his throat again. Now he really wanted to say "Is my head here?" However, what worries him even more is that the person who just gave his beloved ship a righteous backstab was not the anti-ship ultimate move of the "Devil Dragon that must not even be named", but an ordinary and mediocre fighter. . This is actually a scene that is even more difficult for the Lieutenant General to accept.
The battle started at 3:25 a.m. on June 3.
Before the main force of the Imperial fleet prepared to jump out of Earl I Star Gap, their deep space probes also completed the most comprehensive reconnaissance. It was basically certain that the only enemy ship waiting at the entrance of the Star Gap ahead was the Dragon Ship Patrol.
The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army did not feel that they had been underestimated, and they did not even feel that they could bully the small ones. However, they were completely overwhelmed by the courage to fight with swords and swords.
Of course, they are more suspicious of what kind of trap this is.
After all, that’s who the opponent is, so you can’t be too careful.
However, after all, this is a whole fleet. If it is really blocked by a ship from the other side, the Privy Council bosses in Tianyu will really eat people.
So, after a brief consideration, Lieutenant General Midbesh decided to move forward. Of course, the tactics must be arranged in advance. The entire army must use the capital ship as the leader, and the main guns must be warmed up in advance. At the same time, fighter planes must also take off, and escort warships must be deployed to provide cover.
In short, it is to highlight a watertight feature.
The imperial fleet sailed out of the I Earl Star Gap with such a firm and tragic attitude, as if it was about to start a cruel fortress attack.
Of course, Lieutenant General Midbexi also felt the low loss of the entire army, so he encouraged him: "Everyone, hold your heads high! Remember what His Royal Highness the Sand King said? After all, he is still A mortal! He can be killed. "The switch of the heavy cannon in your hands is the blade that can kill dragons and extraordinary things!"
Well, no matter how much you shout, it is really not exciting, and the ingredients are not detailed. It's still a bit complicated. But no matter what, Lieutenant General Midbexi can be regarded as leading by example, and it must have played a certain motivating role. Probably...
Therefore, this time, the entire process of the Midberg fleet from jumping, to deploying the formation, and finally to the bombardment, performed much more efficiently than ever before.
If they had shown today's qualities in all the past battles, Midbexi might already be a general.
The ferocious wave of firepower rippled in the air, forming a burning wall that was far stronger than armor and force field shields, as if it was about to ignite this dead universe.
After all, the enemy only has one person and one ship. Although he is a demon dragon, if we treat him as an enemy fortress and focus our main artillery fire, how will we deal with it?
Subsequently, they sadly realized that the combination of Dragon Knight and new fighter aircraft seemed to work very well.
The giant dragon, which was more agile than any fighter plane, easily avoided the interception of the main gun on the front, accelerated towards the left wing, and immediately launched a charge. After giving the light cruiser on the flank two fierce blows, it retreated again to avoid it. The Titanium Blade fighter focused fire.
At this time, the Earth fighter flying the light wing had broken through the blockade of the Titanium Blade fighter, and headed straight for the gap created by the destruction of the cruiser.
They penetrated into the gaps in the armor like poisonous needles.
The empire's capital ships were even a little flustered for a while and had to quickly switch to air defense mode. But even so, the fighters were still thrown to a safe distance and suffered lightning strikes. Unfortunately, the flagship and a heavy cruiser were struck by mines.
Fortunately, they only gave the people on Earth one chance to be struck by lightning. Subsequently, three of the bright red-painted enemy planes were shot down, and the rest were driven away by intensive protective firepower and the escort fighters that rushed back.
What’s even more gratifying is that this time the Earthling can’t float to the side of the battleship like a ghost like last time before launching an attack. He was intercepted by his own artillery fire outside a safe gathering, and the "Long Night Meteor" he threw did not hit the target, but only brought down a destroyer that served as a scapegoat.
This may be because the destroyer was very heroic (bad), brave (bad), loyal (bloody), sincere (unlucky), but more importantly, the "magic dragon whose name cannot be mentioned" was, after all, the Blocked at a safe distance.
See it? He is not omnipotent, never has been.
Of course the Imperial Army can only comfort itself in this way.
Lieutenant General Midbech calmed down a little and concluded with his staff: "So, the summary of experience is that the firepower is not strong enough. If there is another dreadnought or three to four battle cruisers, It's enough to suppress his assault with the main gun. space, but we must pay attention to the enemy's new fighter jets. If we double the force, we can eliminate it in one fell swoop, and the enemy's new fighter jets that harass the enemy's counterattacks will be defeated."
"If we could have our dragon again It would be better if the knight cooperates.”
“But the empire can’t afford to lose the dragon ship, right?”
“Then there must be a powerful knight, right? . Now the charge captains in our fleet are all cavalrymen. Soldier! If you don’t even dare to take off your protective clothing when you go out into space, do you deserve to be a psyker?”
“It’s true that we don’t have many masters in this fleet, so we have to be pushed by the big masters. Come out as a scapegoat?”
"It's so ugly! This is persecution!"
Seeing that the discussion was going awry and becoming more and more dangerous, Lieutenant General Midbexi quickly spoke and brought the topic back to normal.
“Anyway, let’s send today’s battle situation to the friendly fleets in the rear. Let them come over quickly to meet. Also, we need to find out why there is only one patrol. Where is the main force of the rest of the fleet?”
"Could it be that the troops have been divided?" the chief of staff asked doubtfully.
"Split the troops? 600 warships and one ship, each leading the way?" Lieutenant General Midbexi felt that this was unreasonable.
"Is there any problem with this?" The chief of staff thought there was no problem.
Well, it seems that there is indeed no problem. After all, that person can defeat an entire fleet by himself.
The Lieutenant General asked casually: "Is there any news from the Lucknar Corridor?"
"The Tuosen fleet is still standing still, and it is certain that it will wait until the Sobek fleet and he meet. , and then continued to advance. It was the sneak attack on him before. The enemy patrol fleet has left."
"Hahaha, that old man didn't show respect to Brother Sobaek. He was clearly slapping the Sand King in the face! Such a strong type! ”
"There is also a rebellion in the Grand Duchy of Letalin." The chief of staff said quietly, his tone sounding like he was telling a ghost story.
Rebellion again? Lieutenant General Midbexi was silent for a few seconds, but then added: "What a sad news... But what does this have to do with us?"
"It doesn't matter. We are just ordinary imperial soldiers. ." said the chief of staff.
“Yes, let’s talk about the next step of action. If we want to continue to pursue the Preview, we should at least wait until the other admirals arrive and take joint actions to ensure nothing goes wrong.”
“ That’s what Xiaguan means.”
"But, what if they really divide their forces according to your wishes? What should we do? If we really gather most of our forces to chase the Pilgrim, where will the main force of the remaining fleet be?"
"Say They may have already reached the Lucknar Corridor. The situation of the Tossen Fleet and the Sobek Fleet will be embarrassing." The chief of staff looked like it was not a big deal when the friendly forces were busy.
“Our situation is also very embarrassing.” However, Lieutenant General Midbexi was filled with low pressure, and he just shrugged with a look of self-deprecation: “But, fortunately, we are not the ones who need to be responsible anyway. ”
“No Whether it’s planning or decision-making, it has nothing to do with us.” The chief of staff echoed: “We are just hounds, waiting for the master’s whistle... As for who to hunt, it is not up to the hounds.”
