Although they encountered devastating firepower, this did not affect the determination of the Tau ships to charge. They showed amazing courage. The more than 70 surviving ships were divided into groups of more than 20 ships each. Launched a suicidal attack on the Aida cluster, including their flagship Jin Xun.
“Be sure to collect all the opponent’s weapon data!”
The Tau fleet commander stared at the incredibly huge Ada battleship in front of him, with an incomprehensible appearance. He had neither fear nor anger at the moment, only incomparable concentration.
".In the future, our descendants will definitely have larger and more powerful battleships than this!"
At this moment, the ship shook violently. If it were not for holding the railing By this time he had fallen.
"There was an explosion in cabin No. 19!!"
The elder Tu clan technical chief vigorously reported the damage to the ship.
"It's the enemy's energy weapon! It ignores the shield system!"
"Record the energy index and change range of the attack immediately! Send a data beacon to the rear!"
At this time, there were very few ships left around the fleet flagship, and they seemed to be so far away from the huge Ada battleship.
"Scanning the enemy missile group!"
"The speed is too fast! Point defense weapons cannot intercept!"
"Record the enemy missile flight parameters!"
Following, A series of explosions exploded on the right side of this hero-class cruiser that had experienced the Tyrannic War. The blast of air blasted open the solid steel blast doors. Several decks were opened up, and various liquids and gases flowed through the breaches. , and triggered a chain reaction, the fire started inside the hull, and it burned more and more, causing more small explosions to occur continuously.
".The main cable was burned! The electric rudder failed! You can only use the hand steering wheel!" ”
"The efficiency of the emergency fire extinguishing system dropped to 20%!"
Although there was no way out, the Tau people on the ship did not give up their last hope. They still insisted on putting out the fire in the dark, trying to continue to stagger the warship toward Previous
"Get closer! Get closer! Use all the detectors that can still be used to scan enemy warships! Even if it's just the outline! Pass any useful information to the beacon!"< br>
But immediately there was a third, more violent explosion inside the ship, ruthlessly shattering the last thoughts of all the Tau people present.
Subsequently, the temperature inside the ship became lower and lower, and the ventilation system completely failed.
At this moment, a scarred cruiser appeared in front of the Jin Xun at a faster speed. The Tau commander who had already put on a breathing mask was immediately stunned.
"Brave"
Then he knew the other party's intention, and his eyes became wet.
The battleship, which was already full of bullet marks and holes, began to escort the Jinxun with its body. At this moment, a lot of the firepower that had originally been poured on the Jinxun bombarded the Brave.
This is also the first time for many Tau people to see the scene where the armor and structure of a ship are forcibly "stripped off" from the keel. If there are humans present, they will definitely be amazed that this is similar to a kind of "Ling Chi" "Torture.
The Brave only lasted ten seconds before it completely turned into pieces.
But it was enough. The Jinxun became the Tau cruiser closest to the Ada battleship. At this time, there were only the remains of the same kind left around it. It was also covered in scars, as if it would self-destruct at any time. . However, unexpectedly, all the Ada warships stopped shooting and stared at the dilapidated boat from a distance as it turned its bow with difficulty.
"Huhu. Here we are"
In the almost torn bridge, the Tau commander was lying on the weapons console, and on the chair beside him was a The remaining half of the earth clan technician's body was fixed by a restraint belt. The catastrophic explosion and breach just now killed everyone. Only he managed to survive by relying on the air clan's adaptability to space and the protective clothing he wore.
"The only thing missing is the attack shield"
In an almost weightless environment, the Tau commander tried hard to fix himself on the weapon operating platform. After groping for a while, he grasped the mechanical control lever for emergency manual shooting. , but at this time all aiming systems have been offline, and shooting in this case is meaningless.
But now, it seems that there is no need to aim.
He raised his head and stared at the dreamlike creation.
“.It’s so beautiful.”
Then he pulled the mechanical control lever, and a magnetic cannon located at the bow began to spray the remaining shells in the turret forward like a gasp.
The Jinxun was like a dying soldier, using its own pistol to shoot the last bullet in its magazine at the Titan running in front.
Of course, the shells it fired couldn't even reach the side of the Slayer, or even if a few lucky bullets could hit it, they were annihilated by its own dissolving shield.
Just like that, the Ada ship watched quietly as it fired the last shell.
".Close attack. I understand that we must deal with them at close range"
Just as the Tau commander was trying to send out the last words, a starlight spear from the Killer hit the head of the Jinxun and directly penetrated the entire hull. The ensuing explosion and shock wave destroyed tons of metal. The structure was thrown into the distant starry sky, less than an hour after the initial exchange of fire between the two sides.
Since then, all 197 Tau warships have sunk!
The battlefield was completely quiet, with only a few small boats fleeing quickly. Because they were too small to be called boats, Carmustine was too lazy to chase them.
"Report to Commander Star, all enemy ships have been annihilated."
Giulio did not show any joy after receiving the news, but just replied lightly.
"I know, the mission is not over yet."
At this time, he looked at the other side of the astrolabe. Almost as the left wing squadron wiped out the enemy's first support force, the right wing squadron also wiped out another Tau clan. A reinforcement force of 100 warships, and faster.
The other approaching enemy groups on the astrolabe stopped moving at this time. Obviously they already knew that it was pointless to die one by one, but stopping did not mean that they were timid. They were waiting.
At the edge of the star map, a dazzling red color began to appear. This was a psychic signal from a distant reconnaissance ship. It could only mean one thing -
"It's finally coming. ”
Giulio looked at the time, and it was similar to what he expected. Although these Tau ships did not have the ability to move in subspace, their sailing speed in the physical universe was not very slow.
Soon the ships on the left and right wings returned to the main formation. They abandoned the Tau family world that had no defense and began to move towards the main Tau fleet that was trying to come back for reinforcements. Based on tactical deductions , because of the difference in size and age, it is difficult for the Tau ships to maintain a consistent speed. Once they learn that their home planet is being attacked, they will definitely rush back at all costs. In this case, their The fleets will definitely be out of touch with each other, and this is the best time to attack them.
Obviously, the Tau did not expect the main force of the Ada fleet to suddenly maneuver. Before the fleets around the galaxy could react, this weird fleet disappeared into the galaxy almost in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the commander of the main fleet of the Tau did not know anything about this. This naval commander, Kor'O'K'shan, who has served for thirty years and is considered an old man among the Tau, After Navas received the news that his home world was encountering an unknown enemy, he immediately made a judgment - the enemy had implemented a strategy to divert the tiger away from the mountain. The previous attack was just to divert their power into a trap.
Realizing that the Ethers might be in danger, he could only leave a small fleet and most of the ground troops behind, and immediately led the main force of the expedition's Guardian fleet back quickly.
