Chapter 1441. The Rising Star
1441. The Rising Star
Boom! ! ! The Jaeger-class battlecruiser was hit by more than ten plasma cannons. The shield directly above the battleship was penetrated, and the battleship suddenly shook violently.
"The shield has been penetrated! The shield has been penetrated!" the shield team controller screamed loudly.
"Immediately turn to avoid shooting! All energy supply is concentrated in the shield system and recirculated as soon as possible!" Admiral Eureka, the commander of the Republic Fleet, loudly issued the order, "Call the warship closest to us and come to cover immediately ! ”
Fleet Commander Admiral Eureka is here, which can only mean one thing - this battleship is the flagship of this Republic fleet.
"A fighter jet is approaching us!" the radar soldier shouted.
I only saw on the sensor screen a group of 12 Geth fighter jets flying straight towards this direction at extremely fast speeds! Several V-19 light fighters went to intercept them, but were quickly shot down. They were no match at all!
"Their target is the bridge! Cover quickly! Cover!!" Admiral Eureka was shocked.
At this time, an Aquitens-class light cruiser rushed over desperately. The close-in defense guns on the battleship fired wildly at the geth fighters, but it was still a step too late!
Eight of the geth fighters broke through the fire net of the Aquitens-class light cruiser and the anti-aircraft barrage surrounding the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, and flew over crazily with a completely desperate attitude. Look at this posture. Want to launch proton torpedoes!
Everyone on the bridge felt cold and despairing.
However, at this time, a young voice suddenly shouted: "Let the close-in defense artillery fire of the light cruiser Thunderstrike fire at the bridge of our ship! Quick!"
The communication soldiers were already confused. I did it subconsciously.
As for those Geth fighter jets, after two more were shot down, the remaining few have already entered the launch angle!
The light flashed, and the proton torpedo was instantly ignited and launched. At this moment, the Geth fighter was less than 2 kilometers away from the flagship's bridge!
The next second, a violent light net swept over, and the close-in anti-artillery fire mixed with lasers and blaster beams instantly enveloped the entire area of several hundred meters in radius, including the flagship bridge!
Three geth fighters instantly hit the fire net and were blown into three fireballs. Most of the proton torpedoes launched were intercepted by this violent attack!
But there is one missing! This distance is too close. The proton torpedo had already been shot in front of the bridge when it was hit by the close-in defense artillery. Under the action of the composite fuze, the proton torpedo was directly less than 10 meters away from the bridge armor. Detonate!
The blue proton cloud shrank instantly and then exploded again! A devastating explosion swept across! Even though the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, the flagship, had closed its bridge and closed its observation windows, it still could not withstand this powerful explosion.
At this time, the Lightning Strike's close-in defense gun firepower was also firing directly at the bridge!
The explosion opened a gap in the bridge armor. At this moment, countless lasers and turbo lasers poured in, passing through the gap and wreaking havoc inside the bridge! Immediately afterwards, the airtight hatch of the bridge was closed, completely isolating the gap created by the explosion.
All this happened in less than a second. The bridge of the battleship at this moment was a complete mess. All the people and equipment inside were scattered everywhere. The mutilated corpses and the battleship's console were also severely damaged, temporarily losing their combat effectiveness.
Suddenly, the chassis door of a console host was suddenly knocked open, and a young man wearing a Republic Navy uniform rolled out, his body still smoking. Judging from his badge, his military rank is major. This young man is the one who just made a decisive decision and let the close-in firepower of the Thunderstrike light cruiser fire directly at his battleship. His name is Gilad Perrine, and he is currently the Major of the Second Squadron of the Seventh Army of the Galactic Republic. Staff Officer.
Half a year ago, he was only a lieutenant and participated in the Battle of Janfatar. He also made key suggestions in that battle, delaying the offensive of the Fourth Group and the Interstellar Banking Association's combined fleet, forcing them to have no choice but to Back away.
Although mistakes were made during the battle and it was impossible to prevent the workers' revolution on the planet Zanfatar, Gilad Pellaeon's talent was still appreciated by the fleet commander, Admiral Eureka. Transfer him to his staff team.
After Pellaeon let the close-in defense cannon of the Thunderstrike fire on his own side, he reacted immediately and hid in the chassis of a mainframe. The shell of this quantum computer is very strong, and it is the strongest bunker he can find in just a few seconds.
Standing up from the ground, he looked at the tragic situation on the bridge. Even if it only lasted less than a second, the explosion of the proton torpedo and the strafing of the close-in defense gun almost caused heavy damage to the entire bridge of the battleship. At least more than half of the officers, staff and operators at all levels inside died on the spot. Almost all of the others were injured and fell to the ground groaning.
Girard Pellaeon searched the bridge and finally found Fleet Commander Admiral Eureka behind a console. In the explosion just now, he was blown away by the air wave of the explosion and rolled behind the console. Although he was seriously injured, he still had one breath left.
"General Eureka! We must respond! Otherwise, these geth warships will soon wipe out us all!" Gilad Pellaeon said loudly.
"Are you... Gilad Pellaeon?" Admiral Eureka covered his chest, blood flowing from his fingers. He struggled to use the other bloody He grabbed Pellaeon's clothes and said: "Where is the fleet? How many battleships are there?"
"More than two-thirds of our fleet's strength is left! It's not too late to react now!" Gila De Peraine said.
At this time, the damage control team and the medical team had already rushed into the bridge. Several medical soldiers brought the medical robot to Admiral Eureka. They gave him an injection without any explanation, and then Put him on a stretcher.
However, Admiral Eureka's hand was still holding Pellaeon, and he murmured, "You are very smart, young man... This fleet... is under your command... This is... This is my last order..."
He was quickly carried out on a stretcher, leaving Gilad-Perrine standing there in a daze.
But he reacted immediately and walked directly towards the communications department. He pushed the body of the communications soldier aside and sat on the communicator to check. The communicator was seriously damaged, but luckily, the backup communication system was still functioning. He picked up the communicator and shouted loudly: "Attention all ships! Attention all ships! This is the flagship Mingxing! I am Fleet Staff Officer Gilad -Major Pellaeon! Admiral Eureka is injured and is being treated. Next, this fleet will be temporarily under my command! I...I will definitely take everyone out!"
