Chapter 3304 Simulated Battle (Part 2)
"Why are their weapons so powerful"
Trying to free himself from his imagination, Asterion looked at the battle line he had laid out and found that it had changed from neat lines to jagged jagged shapes - many ships simply disappeared from the star map. .
Dazzling damage reports flowed like a waterfall at the edge of his vision, and only the Astartes' extraordinary reflexes and concentration could comprehend the information at this speed.
"Counterattack! Counterattack!"
Asterion let out a roar that was almost like a groan. The scythe of the Necrons had already been unfolded. The attack ship and the harvest ship closed from both sides to the center, forming a pair of crossed scissors. The tomb ship in the middle became a pair of crossed scissors. an indestructible anvil.
Lasers, plasma, cannonballs, green lightning, and colorful spots of energy beams turned the star map battlefield into some kind of concert, but what it played was a song of death.
Soon, a catastrophic explosion occurred on a Retribution-class battleship. It was hit by the powerful weapons of the tomb ship and had almost no resistance.
Immediately afterwards, the second battlecruiser was also destroyed amidst the piercing sirens
Asterion hurriedly adjusted, but he was horrified to find that any of his tactics were useless. The previous plan had completely turned into a piece of garbage. In just half an hour of confrontation, a quarter of his fleet evaporated. One, and the other party’s loss
Most likely only single digits!
But what was even more frightening was that the Necron warships penetrated his formation and passed by his battle group fleet deployed on the second line. After the formation of raiding ships penetrated the Imperial formation, they appeared directly on the main line of his formation. rear.
As we all know, the rear of a ship is the most vulnerable, but generally speaking, when two ships pass head-on, it takes a long time to turn around. However, the Necron warships are not unreasonable at all!
"Cheating! Totally cheating!!"
Asterion watched helplessly as the opponent's warship ignored the inertia that should exist in the universe and made a U-turn while sailing at high speed!
In his roar, the most vulnerable rear ends of the Empire's indestructible bombardment lines across the galaxy were attacked, turning from powerful warriors into panicked prey, and many ships were destroyed in the process of clumsy turns.
The two huge tomb ships also slowly approached the Empire's battleships like gods. They used almost exaggerated firepower to destroy everything close to them. Asterion sent a large number of fighters to try to surround them, but there was no way. If the warship is used, the system keeps prompting the news that the fighter plane has lost contact or the pilot is crazy to death, and trying to initiate a collision is useless, because once the warship gets too close, the entire ship's system will shut down, and the engine and void shield will also shut down. It was a battle he couldn't understand at all.
[The symbol of grace protection was destroyed]
[The Dervish was destroyed]
【The Silver Cross was destroyed】
Asterion was almost paralyzed by the series of news. At this time, the battle line of the Imperial fleet had been completely torn apart. The large and small ships on the star map that were originally gathered together like fireflies were now like darkness. The surviving ships were resisting in vain, but their artillery hit rate was very low, and the probability of accidentally hitting one's own side was even higher than that of hitting the enemy.
He had never commanded so many ships, and for the first time he experienced what it felt like to be "at a loss". He was surrounded by various messages for help and requests for instructions, as if he was trapped in a cage composed of red warning symbols. .
Necron ships use a unique method to circle and dive around the battlefield at extremely fast speeds, like raptors besieging dying prey. They use a very small number to slaughter prey that is far more than themselves.
"The Master of Arika was attacked and has been severely damaged."
Upon hearing the news that the flagship of the Orpheus fleet was under attack, Asterion gritted his teeth and slammed his fist forward, then suddenly took off the cables on his body and took off his helmet, revealing his angry and sharp wide face. , glaring fiercely at the opposite side of the tactical instrument.
"Do you think you won! I still have the last resort!"
Hearing this, Soshyan also took off the cable, took off his helmet, and let out a chuckle.
"Then please."
"One of the two tomb ships was the first to leave the orbit of Amalur Prime, and the first to open fire on the Imperial fleet! It is your flagship!"
The Minotaur Chapter Master pointed angrily at one of the tomb ships. "I will initiate gang-hopping against him at all costs! I will lead it myself!"
"Come on."
The battle barges and strike cruisers of the Minotaur Chapter quickly formed an assault formation and rushed towards a tomb ship desperately. The bombardment cannons and macro turrets released a hellish bombardment, completely ignoring what was blocking their way, and even Even the Imperial warships will be destroyed.
Asterion's hands were holding the edge of the tactical simulator, his face turned red, he gritted his teeth, and stared at the center of the star map battlefield like a desperate gambler.
Soon, a battle barge was destroyed by the horrific firepower of the tomb ship.
Then came the second ship.
The strike cruisers also fell one by one
Finally, after paying a huge price, the Minotaur's flagship Daedalus approached the tomb ship, and then launched a large number of jump torpedoes, gunboats and assault boats.
Asterion showed a cruel smile, slowly raised his head, and stared at Soshyan.
"So, now that I'm on your ship, how should I calculate it? Should I be declared a failure directly?"
To his surprise, Soshyan just shrugged.
"It's okay, you win, I quit."
"What?"
"Even if you win the gang battle, I choose to retreat."
The huge hull of the tomb ship turned around and began to speed away, while other Necron ships also began to evacuate in an orderly manner.
Asterion froze on the spot, a little at a loss. Then the lights in the tactics room turned on, Soshyan clapped his hands and walked to Asterion.
"Congratulations, Captain Asterion. You have won another glorious victory at the cost of the entire regiment, including your own life. You are indeed a tactical genius, a wizard, and one."
For some reason, there was a sudden pause, and a person suddenly popped up in Soshiyang's mind, and then he said the next words with a smile.
"A super genius."
Hearing the sarcasm in Soshyan's tone, Asterion turned his head.
"What are you talking about."
"I didn't say anything, I just want you to take a look, take a good look, and decide for yourself whether you won or lost."
Asterion looked at the star map, a chill ran down his spine, and he was speechless for a moment.
