Chapter 2690 The Battle of Ekvolia (1)
In order to prepare for the next naval battle, Soshyan deployed the fleet in the high orbit of the planet, and all ships entered a state of full alert—— On the huge hull, the gun doors opened, the plasma cannon poked out, and the launch bay also put away its anti-explosion armor, preparing to launch missiles and torpedoes. In the engine room, the technical priest extracted more energy from the huge engine and sent it into the void. Shield and bombardment cannon.
Thousands of crew members, both human and otherwise, were performing their duties, and transport convoys began to roll out of the armory, with huge tracked cargo bays and transport machinery loaded with missiles and charging packs , and the elevators responsible for the cannons began to travel up and down the ship's superstructure, the huge chain carousels driven by legions of mindless servitors and their sweaty overseers.
Their firepower is enough to destroy a planet, and now they are just waiting for their prey to appear.
Suddenly, a warning light came on on the bridge, and the mechanical priest responsible for monitoring the array made a high-pitched voice.
"Violent features were found on the surface of the planet, coming from the north and south poles!"
A blurry image then appeared on a picture screen in front of Soshyan, shaking as the mediator tried to make up for the clarity. The north and south poles of the planet The ice caps have been torn apart, each revealing a jagged green building.
"Looks like a crystal?"
"Energy shock! System paralysis is disturbed!"
Just as Soshiyang stared at the screen, the alarm sounded, and then The picture suddenly blurred, and two beams of emerald green light could be vaguely seen piercing the earth's crust.
"It's coming! The alien ships are hidden in the pole. All ships, prepare to fight!"
"A huge burst of energy."
The next second, the voice on the bridge was almost drowned out by the sudden burst of noise.
On the north and south poles of the forge world, a huge crust was thrown out of the planet's surface, dragging large pieces of broken rock with it and creating a terrifying earthquake on the planet. Under the pits, dim silver and metallic green-brown shimmered, like corroded bronze, and among them, spaceships the size of frigates appeared. Their shapes were highly similar, and they all looked like There is a crescent moon, and there is a towering pyramid in the middle of the spacecraft, which is dotted with green light. Strange weapons are placed on the tip of the crescent moon, and they will emit a sickly green light when charged.
In addition to the crescent-shaped bows, those larger cruiser-sized ships also have three weird fins and a long "tail", making them look like some kind of insect. .
"All ships, lock on target, orbital defense platform, adjust position immediately, lock and fire!"
As the orbiting defense platform began to aim its guns at the north and south poles, the ascending alien spacecraft seemed to realize Menace, spinning rapidly, moving horizontally with incredible maneuverability.
Then, the first laser cannon fired, shooting a burning beam of light towards the alien spacecraft.
But it missed, and then more defensive platforms opened fire.
In an instant, the entire orbit was lit up by the flash of heavy laser cannons, and Soshyan ordered the fleet to maneuver to the North Pole first, giving priority to annihilating the enemies there.
Under the covering fire of hundreds of laser cannons, a victory was finally achieved. Two of them hit the upper hull of an alien spacecraft. The energy of the explosion was so bright that the spacecraft was like a burning sun.
When the glare gradually faded away, the crescent-shaped wreckage of the spacecraft spun and fell to the ground, no longer able to resist the planet's gravity. However, more warships had already reached the edge of the atmosphere, and they immediately began to counterattack before they could escape. Green light flashed across the void, and in the strange flashes of light, one after another defense platforms disappeared.
"The enemy ship is too fast...too fast..."
During this period, Soshyan has been observing, and he saw an enemy cruiser-sized battleship. He was hit by heavy laser cannons four times in a row, but only a few ablation marks were made, with no substantial damage at all. He had to be amazed at the defense and technology of the Necrontyr warship.
More importantly, the enemy's speed was far beyond his imagination. Knowing it was one thing, but seeing it with his own eyes was another. His "whack-a-mole" plan was too wishful thinking from the beginning, and the Necrontyr's fleet was almost It was about to rush out of the planet's atmosphere in the blink of an eye.
If Harlequin’s information is correct, then this is the Necrontyr’s harvester, a warship made entirely of active metal. Its main weapons are stellar pulsators, particle whips and lightning arc emitters. It can target Any human battleship-class capital ship poses a fatal threat.
And just at the North Pole alone, there are three ships!
According to the scanned statistics, there are 35 other small ships.
But on Soshyan's side, there are also 33 battleships from the White Templar and 43 battleships from the Forge World, for a total of 76 battleships!
At the same time, the orbital defense facilities are still firing!
Although he knew that the Necrontyr's ships were very powerful, Soshyan, who had twice the number of ships, did not think he would lose.
The Necron fleet, composed of 3 Sickle-class harvesters, 8 Shroud-class light cruisers, and 24 Elegy-class and Jackal-class frigates, flew out of the atmosphere at an astonishing speed and approached the high-orbit Imperial fleet.
In response, the Imperial fleet, which had a superior offensive position, immediately moved. The densely arranged destroyers, frigates and cruisers spit out hundreds of torpedoes and missiles from their launch tubes, but the leading Necron ship No attempt was made to change course or evade, and no fire was made to retaliate.
Soshiyang stared at the torpedoes and missiles with bated breath as they entered the range, but after a few seconds, hundreds of blue icons used to track missile tracks simply disappeared on the tactical screen. In the Imperial Battle Bird Under the influence of some force that cannot be detected by the divination instrument, they become sluggish and powerless, or even stop running completely. Others self-destruct, or deviate significantly from the route as if they are blind.
"This is impossible!"
The data sages on the ship made a surprised voice, and even the fourth captain of the White Temple, Ahaslu, who was following Soshyan on the ship, widened his eyes. It seemed like I saw a ghost.
“How is this possible!”
Soshiyang seemed to expect this, he nodded gloomily and said softly:
“There is nothing impossible, they are The remnant species from ancient times 65 million years ago still have many incredible technologies, but don’t underestimate us.”
Suddenly, an icon flashed across the screen, followed by an excited roar on the bridge.
“Sink two enemy warships!”
The 72 super-high-speed missiles launched by the Viper-class guided missile destroyer were not interfered with. They were hidden behind the first wave of missiles, including one The radius directly hit two small enemy ships - obviously the Necrons also made a mistake of arrogance, they believed that these human missiles were no threat.
But reality slapped them hard in the face. With a devastating plasma burst, the two Jackal-class assault ships were directly broken into pieces. Such a performance surprised even Soshyan, but he guessed It is the anti-interference function of the black iron core that plays a certain role.
