Chapter 55 Fierce Battle
His consciousness quickly crossed the distance of 50,000 kilometers and appeared in the starry sky where the frigate was. At a glance, he saw a formation consisting of a battleship, seven cruisers, forty-seven frigates, and three industrial ships.
"Hidden force field!"
The stealth force field can block radar scanning, but it is not truly invisible and cannot be hidden from the naked eye.
The radar scan only covers one ship, but it actually hides so many ships, and the most important thing is that the paint of this fleet is so familiar.
Li Wei was silent for a few seconds, silently opened Mo Lai's communication and asked:
"Captain, I have a business here that has no risk and can earn tens of millions. Are you interested in doing it?"
"Coordinates!"
"XL-D-261 galaxy, I will give you the coordinates."
“You can get there in half an hour!”
"OK!"
Turning off the communication, he thought for a moment and asked the two frigates to escort the industrial ship away from the fleet. He stopped after a meteorite floating in space more than a thousand kilometers away. He first put down a concealment field and then an induction field. , and then the fleet here is still spawning monsters, as if they didn't notice it.
"Good, he didn't notice us."
The Scorpion fleet jumped over and assembled. The radar checked Levi who was spawning monsters normally. Scorpion smiled confidently:
"Of course, I spent a full 10 million to buy this radar power amplifier. The effect is of course amazing for such a high price."
"Let's go over and surround him before he notices. Don't let him escape."
"Don't worry, he can't run away. He is only as fast as one boat. The other boats are not fast. At most, one of them is allowed to run away. No matter what, he must leave all the other boats behind. Yesterday's humiliation will be avenged today!"
About half an hour later, the Scorpion Squadron fleet rushed up while he was fighting a group of wild monsters. They even couldn't wait to charge the battleship's main gun in advance, blasting out a dazzling particle light spear to hit Levi's ship. The frigate exploded into a ball of fire.
Seeing that the two sides were officially at war, Scorpion felt relieved, and Scorpion couldn't wait to send a message to Li Wei:
"Boy, let me see where you run today!"
Li Weili ignored him and just asked Mo Lai:
"Captain, we have already exchanged fire. When will you arrive?"
"The hyperspace engine is already charging, please hold on for another six minutes."
"OK!"
Levi, who was about to take shelter temporarily, felt relieved. He temporarily modified the tactics he had prepared and gave the captain of the No. 1 cruiser an order for a full-scale attack. More than a dozen hangar doors opened, and ghost interceptor fighter jets flew out of the hangar. came out, forming a huge fighter formation and heading straight towards the oncoming pirate fleet.
If it comes to a head-on battle, he will definitely not be able to defeat him. There are too few ships and no matter how sophisticated his command skills are, it will be useless. In addition to this escort ship, no other warships can escape, unless he is willing to display the entire universe in his palm in front of everyone.
But if it only lasts for six minutes, it's still no problem. At most, the space fighter will suffer a greater loss.
And none of this loss was in vain. As long as they persisted until the captain arrived and caught them, they would be able to make a lot of money to make up for the losses.
Five of the seven cruisers of the Scorpion Squadron have been modified with hangar cores and hangar sterns. The configuration is the same as the cruiser in Levi's hands. However, the space fighters equipped on their ships are not high-level. They are all level 2 advanced deep space fighters. .
It's not that Scorpion is reluctant to spend this money, but that most of their entire team's money is spent on this battleship, and they believe that space fighters are simply cannon fodder and don't need to be matched well.
The second-level advanced deep space fighter encountered the fifth-level ghost interceptor. The two large fleets collided head-on, and balls of flames instantly exploded in the starry sky.
"Huh? Why are the losses so big?"
In just ten seconds, Blue Scorpion, who was dedicated to commanding the five aircraft carriers and cruisers in the Scorpion Squadron, was surprised to find that the space fighters under his command were being lost very quickly. The light spots representing the fighter planes on the light screen in front of him quickly disappeared. In just twenty seconds, In less than a hundred aircraft were lost.
"Captain, something is wrong. The fighter planes are being damaged too quickly."
Scorpion also discovered the problem. As the commander-in-chief of the fleet, he could see the overall situation. Not only the losses of the fleet were displayed in front of him, but also all aspects of the fleet's data. At this time, with the enemy's counterattack, the loss of the shield was far away. It exceeded his expectations.
"This guy probably has a powerful skill that will add a lot to the fleet."
"But don't panic, we have a battleship, he is dead."
The battle continued, and the warships of both sides were gradually approaching. However, they did not get closer after entering the range of large weapons. They were bombarded hundreds of kilometers apart. The frigates of both sides guarded the left and right sides of the main ship and did not rush to fight. The two warships In the center of the fleet was a melee of more than two thousand space fighters.
Although the number of fighter planes on the Pirates' side was five times that on Levi's side, they were tied in the melee and not at all inferior.
Levi saw it in his eyes and was very satisfied with his newly acquired psyker skills in the first battle.
Originally, the attributes of the fifth-level fighter are superior to those of the second-level fighter in all aspects, and then there are the bonuses of the psyker skill and the naval command skill, including flight speed +15%, attack speed +29%, weapon damage +26%, and dodge. +20%, hit +20%, almost a qualitative difference under the overall increase.
Space fighters are already known for their speed and flexibility. If you add 20% of the dodge and fighter technology difference, as well as other bonuses, a ghost interceptor can easily fight a dozen second-level advanced deep space fighters.
So the battle seemed very fierce, but the battle damage of the Phantom interceptors was actually not high. In a few minutes of fighting, the enemy destroyed more than 300 aircraft, while his side lost less than 20 aircraft, a battle loss ratio of 15 to 1. .
However, although the space fighters have an absolute advantage and can destroy more than 2,000 space fighters with 400 if they continue to fight, the problem is that the fleet cannot hold on for that long.
The battleship of the Scorpion Squadron fires a particle light spear every one and a half minutes, and can sink a frigate with one shot. From the first shot when they met to now, it has sunk three of his frigates in less than four minutes. In addition to the four cruisers sunk by the L-tank main guns of other cruisers, all four frigates he left here were sunk.
The surviving cruiser and the frigate that lost their guns were also seriously damaged. The shields were blown away, the surface armor was pitted, and there was a huge gap in the center. The bottom of the hull could already be seen.
Although four gunboats were sunk on the opposite side, the Scorpion Squadron, which had 46 gunboats, did not care about this loss at all.
The loss was close to Levi's psychological bottom line. If the captain hadn't jumped over at any time, he would have run away long ago.
But although we can't run away, our tactics have to change.
"The cruiser fights and retreats, moving closer to the industrial ship!"
At the same time, the escort was controlled to move forward to attract firepower and cover the retreat of the severely damaged cruiser.
A smile appeared on the corner of Scorpion's mouth in the Scorpion Team channel, and he ordered:
"Scorpion, lead three or four squadrons to chase the cruiser, and the rest will follow the flagship. Today I will keep both of his ships." (End of Chapter)
