Chapter 54 Ambush and Counter-Ambush
Li Wei summoned all the battleships to form two formations. One was headed by the modified aircraft carrier cruiser, with six frigates guarding it on the left and right.
The other is a single fleet of escort ships, surrounding them on the left and right, mainly responsible for attracting monsters, intercepting, and pursuing them.
Each time it was launched, it was a large area. Several pirate cruisers among the hundreds of pirate gunboats rushed over in a swarm. The escort ships rushed into the enemy ship group to separate and interfere, while the hangar-type cruisers released dense space. fighter plane.
Most of these ordinary pirate gunships have artillery cores, one M medium slot and two S small weapon slots, and are not equipped with a P slot point defense system.
This kind of weapon would definitely not be able to hit the fast and flexible fighter jets. Hundreds of space fighter jets shuttled back and forth among the pirate fleets like ghosts, constantly pouring out firepower and destroying the pirate gunboats one after another.
The weapons used by space fighters are machine guns instead of various missiles like those on Earth. The main reason is the change in the war mode.
War in the planetary age is mainly within the planet, and the combat distance is limited.
When fighting in space, mobile and mobile across thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers, a war lasts very long, and only a few missiles can be installed, which is far less efficient than a machine gun with a fast firing rate.
Of course, the main reason is that the interstellar battleship itself has some characteristics of a fighter plane. Therefore, the fighter planes in the space age are no longer equipped with missiles, but are equipped with faster-firing machine guns, which can not only pose a considerable threat to the battleship, but also intercept various missile torpedo.
The machine gun also divides kinetic energy and energy, and has an extremely fast rate of fire, usually every two seconds. It is the fastest attacking weapon except for point defense systems.
The weapons equipped by the space fighter are related to the fighter level. The first-level space fighter is equipped with the first-level high-speed cannon, while the fifth-level ghost interceptor is equipped with the fifth-level Firestorm cannon.
Firestorm Cannon: A small-caliber ballistic weapon that can fire shells at ultra-high speeds.
Type: Instant, Kinetic.
Damage: 50-60.
Rate of fire: 2 seconds/shot.
Hit: 50%.
Range: 70 kilometers.
Modified: +25% shield damage.
Fixed: -50% armor damage.
The maximum damage of 60 is quite considerable, and the key rate of fire is very fast. With a few concentrated fire sieges, ordinary frigates cannot withstand it for long.
With the addition of the psyker skill BUFF, he was almost devastated along the way, sweeping all the way to the vicinity of the Coral Castle, and then adjusted his direction to the east, preparing to make a circle along the legion's territory to the Queen's Castle.
This kind of unlimited monster spawning is quite boring. Fortunately, he recruited a few captains with good quality. Levi asked them to spawn monsters according to the previous mode, and he became the shopkeeper and went to the side to surf the Internet.
Ever since he started building the escort ship, he has never been so leisurely.
The NPC captain's fighting method is relatively conservative, and the efficiency is far less than that of his personal command, but the victory is safety and the losses are small.
Levi was completely relieved after watching it for a while.
There is also a network in the stars, and the information on the Internet is quite rich. In addition to some related to NPC, there are also various websites and even games created by commercial players, including some very interesting games.
Of course he is not interested in games. What he likes most is browsing some player-related websites, such as some websites like Toutiao that contain information about various parts of the star region, to learn about some of the recent major events in the Zutar star region.
Just as he was immersed in the Internet, in a neutral galaxy outside the sphere of influence of the Endless Legion, there was a secret base hidden among the meteorites in the asteroid belt more than 30 astronomical units away from the central star of the galaxy.
Scorpion was playing cards with several of his men around the table. Suddenly the metal door moved quietly and Scorpion ran in from the outside and said excitedly:
"He was discovered. The informant sent a message and found that the man named Levi is near the XL-D-261 galaxy and is heading towards the Queen's Castle of the Endless Legion."
Several people looked up at Scorpion, and after a few seconds almost simultaneously threw their cards on the table:
"Let's go, tell the brothers to prepare to assemble, and the modified battleship will also be launched."
Half an hour later, a formation consisting of an obviously modified battleship, 7 pirate cruisers, 46 pirate gunboats, and 3 industrial ships left the base.
"Is the informant still following you?"
"Keep following."
"Let him put down the induction field and we prepare to jump."
"By the way, keep him away so he doesn't get discovered."
"Don't worry, brother, the informant's sensor slot is equipped with a level 5 tachyon sensor. The maximum exploration range is up to 50,000 kilometers. In addition, the radar power amplifier increases the range by 50%. Even if his ship is also equipped with a level 5 tachyon sensor, Sensors can’t detect it either.”
"That's good."
Scorpion's voice was calm, but his subordinates who were familiar with him knew the anger contained in the calmness.
It's not like they have never encountered such a thing as being raped instead of robbing someone. Every day when they rob, there will always be times when the boat capsizes. They understand this, but being robbed and humiliated is unacceptable. If this revenge is not avenged, they will feel uncomfortable all over. .
"The induction coordinates have been captured and the jump is allowed!"
"Hyperdrive is ready to recharge!"
After more than thirty minutes, the subordinate prompted:
"Hyperdrive fully charged."
Scorpion looked ahead expressionlessly and said in a deep voice:
"Leap!"
Hyperspace fluctuations exploded in the void, and the fleet disappeared instantly.
In the galaxy XL-D-261, Levi, who was browsing the headlines and watching the news, suddenly raised his head without warning. He frowned for a few seconds and suddenly took over the battleship. He stretched out his hand and clicked. The light screen in front of him switched from the ongoing battle to the radar screen. Above are densely packed red dots and ten green dots, as well as several yellow gathering areas within a range of 1 million kilometers.
The green dot naturally represents yourself, the red dot represents the wild monster, and the yellow dot represents the player or neutral NPC in this area.
At first glance, it seems normal. As an important waterway system, there are guild patrols or guild caravans passing by from time to time, or guild players’ mining teams, or even players’ personal bases, etc., not to mention a large number of NPC caravans. Every one of them on the road before. Galaxies are seen.
But Levi always felt weird and had a bad feeling.
This is the first time this has happened. I have never had such a strong premonition before, as if it was a premonition.
However, he knew very well why he had such a premonition. Not surprisingly, if he awakened his spiritual power, he would have a chance of predicting some things related to him in advance.
This is not just for him. All players and NPCs who have awakened their psychic powers will have extremely strong telepathy. I heard that when their psychic powers are strong enough, they can directly predict and avoid risks.
"It seems like someone is trying to get me!"
Levi reached out and pointed at one of the light curtains, and the radar scanned it at a fixed point. The feedback was a fleet composed of two destroyers and ten escorts plus seven large cargo ships.
"Not this."
He changed the target and pointed to another starry sky. When the radar scanning screen appeared in front of him, the feedback signal showed that it was the signal of a frigate.
"A boat?"
Levi was silent for a moment, then pointed his index finger to the center of his eyebrows, unfolding his God's perspective. (End of chapter)
