Chapter 184 Capturing the King
Although it was a direct call, Malakin still cut off the communication.
"Damn it, their position is 5% different from the planned position. They may not be able to get over in time!!"
Soshyan cursed and turned his attention to the battlefield.
The Stranded has broken away from the entanglement with the Evernight and has begun to reorganize the remaining fleet.
But its purpose has changed, from victory to escape.
It is already a certain distance away from the Evernight. Countless tiny spots emitting light cover the surface of the yellow-black body. Those are countless artillery pieces.
Cannonballs screamed across the stars, pulverizing any ship that dared to sail rashly into the sheer terror of such power.
The previous impact did not cause fatal damage to it, and it even had the strength to fight back. However, the Evernight suffered a larger torpedo salvo and was affected by the explosion. The hull and engine suffered more damage. Heavy damage, speed dropped to half of its original speed.
Soshyan looked at it, his eyes carefully studying its outline, looking for any possible breakthrough.
It will take some time to weaken its defense capabilities.
"All ships."
Soshiyan announced loudly, he had already made up his mind - there is a proverb in ancient Terra, to capture the thief first capture the king!
He just wants to capture that thief king!
"Set fire on the enemy's flagship at all costs. The coordinates will be transmitted to you soon."
The fleet responded immediately. Every ship on the battlefield retreated to get out of the battle, and the artillery shells were loaded and ready to be fired.
“A communication came from the Evernight.”
Suddenly, the communications officer reminded loudly.
"Connected."
Soon, Mazar's face appeared on the screen.
"Let us hunt this beast together."
The face of the Chapter Master of the Ascetic Chapter showed an uncontrollable fighting spirit.
"Break its shields, and then we will board the ship. This guy's head will be an extremely valuable trophy."
"Copy that, we will entangle it It."
"Good!"
Magyar stood up on the bridge, strode forward, and gave his instructions at the same time.
"All battleships, listen to my order, speed up, go in! Kill all the aliens!"
Suddenly, the bridge shook, this time it was even more violent than the explosion just now, many The crew members were even unsteady and fell to the ground
"Enemy attack!"
Mazhar stabilized his body, and the divination box was scanning the surrounding situation,
"How is this-"
A second, more powerful attack followed, and now the entire ship began to shake violently, and the entire three layers of void shields turned into dissolved ions.
The warning equipment screamed, and then a large number of red warning runes jumped out. Before the emergency energy provided enough power for the secondary subspace thruster, the Evernight was already under the pull of gravity. Starting to lose balance.
The crew scrambled to execute a series of emergency remedial measures, trying to balance the ship's main axis and divert the power of the warp engines to reactivate the void shields.
Warning signals are still flowing through the sensor lens - all information about attack interception.
For a moment, Mazar was completely confused. Hadn't the greenskins been defeated?
Why——
“The enemy has reorganized its fleet and is rushing towards us!”
Mazhar didn’t realize what was happening until there was a roar from the bridge.
The opponent is worthy of being a veteran of the sea of stars. It is obvious that if it just covers its head and runs away, it will definitely be chased and eliminated all the way, so it does the opposite.
Just like two boxers in the ring who have fought to exhaustion, one of them is ready to gather his last breath and use a heavy punch to completely defeat his opponent. As long as the Magyar fleet is defeated, no one will be able to stop them from leaving the battlefield.
At this time, Soshyan was still some distance away from the core of the battlefield, and Malakin was focused on chasing down another greenskin fleet, and no force could intervene between the two. .
This was a fleeting opportunity, but it was firmly grasped by Nazddraig.
Soshiyan also saw this scene. He realized that victory was slipping away from their fingers, so he sent a communication to the Mother of Tears again.
The other party finally got through this time.
“What happened?”
Malakin seemed a little confused, not aware of what happened.
"Captain Malakin, come quickly for reinforcements! Nazddraig is running away!!!"
"What!"
After realizing that something was wrong, Malakin immediately ordered the surrounding warships to move closer to him, and accelerated towards the greenskin main fleet, but the distance between him and the opponent was actually farther than expected.
The same goes for Soshyan, the engine of the Spark was powered to the limit.
However, the battle situation is changing rapidly, and one mistake will lead to completely different results.
The space around the Eternal Night is already filled with overturned wreckage of battleships, and the greenskin fleet's offensive continues unabated. They shuttle through the dark poisonous cloud formed after plasma burning, with shocks that are enough to penetrate the shield. The guns kept firing continuously.
Under such tactics, the human fleet quickly lost three cruisers.
After the shield was broken, they were unable to fight back in front of the dense enemy formation until the engines were paralyzed, completely exposing them to the baptism of lasers and artillery shells.
So far, the Stranded Ship is still standing - unless the fleet guarding it is cleared away, it is difficult to cause substantial damage to it.
Magyar could only try his best to delay,
but the first charge launched by the greenskin fleet successfully tore a huge hole in the human fleet array and broke the tightly defended formation. And cut off some ships from their companions, leaving them alone and left to be slaughtered.
The Evernight has destroyed two greenskin capital ships, and now it is targeting the third.
However, the Rugged Ship was always wandering at the bottom of the battlefield like a thief, shooting at the Evernight under the cover of the surrounding warships.
At this time, the other two human fleets also began to approach at high speed.
After realizing that human reinforcements were about to arrive, the Reef suddenly sailed diagonally forward and fired a luminous spear at the Evernight.
The rest of the green-skinned battleships heard the sound and began to gather fire to besiege the Evernight.
Obviously Nazdregg planned to destroy the human flagship and then leave the battlefield, which would be much easier.
This caused the pressure on the Evernight to double immediately, and it had to do its best to resist the enemies surrounding it from all directions and try to fight back.
"It can't hold on any longer."
Thor's voice was low, his eyes were fixed on the battle barge, and its last layer of void shield had begun to flicker. .
The main gun array of the Reefed Ship has been fully charged and is about to send out the strongest blow.
“Drive over and intercept the reefed ship!”
Soshyan gave the order.
"Distribute all spare energy to the void shield."
The Spark's speed has been increased to the limit. It aimed at the gap between the green-skinned battleships and drove quickly to replace Yongye. The ship firmly blocked the blow from the ship on the rocks.
Boom——————!
The majestic energy flow hit the belly of the ship. At such a close distance and at such a high speed, the consequences were undoubtedly extremely terrifying.
The Starfire suddenly lost control and hurtled forward, every prop and mast screaming a desperate warning.
The four layers of void shields exploded almost at the same time. The ship completely lost its protective capabilities, and the internal power system was paralyzed and collapsed. Only the faint flickering light of the battle tube cavity was left to prevent the place from falling into complete darkness.
