Chapter 2692 The Battle of Ekvolia (3)
"Shrink the front, maintain a fire channel between the ships, cover each other's firing range, and don't let the enemy easily penetrate."
Sosh Yang Xin's tactical order was issued, and the large ships began to shrink inward. The small ships reorganized their formations to fill the gaps between the capital ships. The reinforcements of fighter armies emerged from the hangars of the Emperor-class battleships and Rogon-class aircraft carriers like locusts. The cannons of the Emperor class were also spitting out firepower desperately, and the main guns of the cruisers and battleships were firing like crazy. The rate of fire was enough to burn the energy compressor to white heat.
"All battleships move closer to our own ship. Pay attention to the enemy bomber on the left side in the 35-degree direction. This thing is a great threat. In addition, all battleships at coordinates 5-1 to 11-10 move toward the enemy bomber on the port side. The fleet fired to prevent the enemy from detouring and attacking from the flank. "
At this time, the Necron warships also noticed the changes in the formation of the human side, and immediately responded, dividing into two parts, mostly small ships. Continuing to massacre the small human ships to prevent them from regrouping, a triangular impact formation composed of 3 harvesters and 8 shroud-class light cruisers headed straight for the main battleship line where Soshyan was located, which was mainly composed of Battle barges Heart of Light, Inscription, Gothic-class cruiser Longbow, Tyrant-class cruiser Greatsword, Executor and other 5 capital ships and 8 light cruisers from Ulan Huda and Ekvolia It is also the main bombardment line. The third line of support slightly further away is composed of Ekvolia's flagship Emperor-class battleship Infinite Force and the Rogon-class light aircraft carrier Cobalt Bluestone, as well as 12 less skilled ships. The close-range firefight consisted of small ships accompanying the escort - including the Viper-class destroyer Granite.
"These arrogant bastards must have sent most of the Night Scythe fighters to the ground, and the aviation formation immediately attacked to interfere with them, mainly to contain the alien bombers."
After receiving Soshiyan's order, he had already The prepared fighter formation immediately rushed towards the enemy.
Green lightning flashed across one after another, and Starhawks and Fury fighters disappeared into the void one after another. However, they continued to attack one after another, which indeed interfered with part of the firepower and formation of the Necron fleet, and also forced the number of Very few Nightshroud formations had to contend with them first.
“Concentrate your firepower and hit the enemy cruiser first!”
Under Soshyan’s instructions, the battleships began to shoot, and at the same time, the spine of the Heart of Light also ejected a blazing beam of light. , as a former natural disaster-class battleship, its multiple light spear turrets showed unparalleled attack power.
A harvester ship directly collided with the fierce firepower of the Heart of Light. The dazzling laser directly broke a huge metal fin on its right side, and also filled the ship's armor with sparks and tiny explosions caused by the impact. .
In response, a vague beam of energy exploded at the bow of the Heart of Light, and violent vibrations could be felt on the bridge.
Through the observation window, Soshyan saw that the space in front was flooded with dazzling green light. The void shield on the bow of the ship absorbed the shelling fired one after another from the enemy ship. A continuous impact hit the enemy ship. Ripples rippled across the entire hull of this ancient warship. If the Heart of Light hadn't gained unparalleled power through rounds of improvements, it might have been unable to withstand it this time.
“The shield is about to fail!”
The priest in charge of energy monitoring had just finished speaking when an explosion not far away was displayed on the rear view window screen.
That was the flash of a Shroud-class light cruiser exploding. As a result, the main engine deck of the Gothic-class cruiser Longbow fell into a sea of flames visible to the naked eye. The battleship rolled wildly in the void, followed by three Shroud-class light cruisers. The ship flew from the wreckage of its kind, bombarding the Longbow from bow to stern, blowing up all the lance turrets, and when it broke in two due to an implosion, the bodies of the crew and countless fragments Draw a distinct trail in the void.
The Shroud-class light cruiser is a type of warship that humans have no record of at all. The information on this thing came entirely from Ada provided to Soshyan, and Ada named it Shroud——
At this time, the old Emperor-class also joined the second-line battle. Its appearance attracted the attention of the Necrons like a magnet and created an opportunity for Soshyan.
"Prepare the starboard turret."
Soshyan flipped the communicator switch on the densely packed operating interface of the command seat.
"Aim at the target, confirm it and fire."
The Light began to turn, using broadside fire to target the harvester ship that had become somewhat unstable due to the loss of part of the hull, followed by intensive artillery fire again and again. The ground hit the alien ship, which was already full of holes. In the blink of an eye, the harvester was rolled over by the fierce bombardment, exploding into hundreds of swirling fragments.
But even so, it still refused to die. Lightning struck the Heart of Light's armor. If it wanted to run, it might still have a chance, but there was a certain sense of honor that belonged to the alien. It was forced to fight against the huge beast.
The Heart of Light shook violently, and various warnings and reports flowed on the screen like a waterfall.
"The port tail stabilizer was hit!"
"The port aether rotor was hit!"
"The No. 1 long-range scanning array was hit!"
"1 No. 3 communication array was hit!"
"The port sublight engine room was hit! We lost 17% of our power!"
Soshyan's face dropped, but he immediately cheered up.
"All void shields stopped, all power was transferred to multiple laser arrays, weapon against weapon, we are stronger than them."
With a desperate attack, the Heart of Light seemed to erupt. The volcano, the short-term energy overload caused it to erupt with firepower that far exceeded that of the battleship. In an instant, the harvester exploded spectacularly in the dazzling light, and the wreckage of the ship was subsequently hit by smaller fragments.
The crew on the bridge finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to congratulate each other and celebrate their escape from death. Only the servitors were still staring blankly at their logic engines and instruments.
“There is an enemy ship, right ahead!”
The Tech-Priest suddenly screamed, and the attention of the officers and slaves returned to their equipment and consoles.
“Concentrate all the energy on the bow barrier.”
The three Shroud light cruisers that solved the Longbow went straight to the Heart of Light, and a large arc began Spreading, an energy storm swept from the bow to the stern of the ship, and then the void shield that had just been propped up could no longer support it and disappeared after a faint flash of light.
Just when they were about to fire again, 72 high-speed missiles stabbed from a distance like thrown daggers. The Necron warships who had seen the power of such missiles immediately spread out to avoid it. As a result, most of them The missiles couldn't catch up with them at all, and only a few of them hit the target, causing no substantial damage, but it also allowed the Heart of Light to breathe.
