Chapter 334 The evil Atlas is haunting Pyra
“The Hidden Blade’s superconducting battery stack exploded, the attitude control failed, and the captain has ordered the ship to be abandoned!”
“Libra , the Star was severely damaged and has lost its combat capability!"
"The Messenger reported that the main propulsion array was completely destroyed! The damage control team is trying to make emergency repairs!"
Inside the flagship of the Imperial escort detachment, After hearing the information reported by the tactical coordinator, Viscount York shed a series of cold sweats on his forehead.
Perhaps for the commander of a main fleet, the loss of frigates is just a number.
But for a commander like him, losing a ship would make him feel distressed for a long time.
Not to mention that in a short period of time, a frigate was destroyed and three frigates lost their combat capabilities
"Horn, am I dreaming?"
< br>"Sir, please stay awake. The entire fleet is counting on you at this time."
Horn's words made Viscount York calm down. When he heard the damage report just now, he was indeed a little extreme.
After all, the escort detachment under him, as the attacker who launched the raid, was attacked first by the opponent, and the three unknown units that passed through the fleet were attacked by him when they came up. A big one.
This kind of battle in which the situation on the battlefield cannot be grasped is often the last thing these commanders want to face.
"Leave a frigate to prepare to receive the crew of the Hidden Blade, while other warships continue to attack, and the HCP squadrons of each ship begin the ejection procedure, conducting coordinated air defense missions while following the attack!"
The entire escort detachment quickly responded to Viscount York's order. Except for one frigate that reduced its speed and approached the Hidden Blade, preparing to recover the crew members who abandoned the ship, the other warships gradually turned into a dense spindle formation during the attack.
In addition to making the frontal projection smaller, they also hope that the denser air defense firepower after shortening the distance can intercept the unknown unit just now.
Jacob did not intend to run away after the round, but was preparing to test the MA-01's penetration ability again.
From the first day he joined ATT, he knew that the mission of this unit was to fly beyond the limits of various verification aircraft in actual combat, and now was such an opportunity.
So after passing through the fleet and adjusting the direction of the aircraft's nose to prevent the vulnerable rear hemisphere from being attacked while the course remained unchanged, he gave the order to the team to continue the attack.
After establishing a sufficient safe distance, the Dunkleosteus team drew a huge arc-shaped route in this dark space, and then re-aimed the course towards the attacking Imperial Propulsion Force. Guard detachment.
This kind of course adjustment operation in a short period of time without losing speed as much as possible can only be done by a pilot like Jacob who has undergone a large degree of body modification.
In other words, the three teams used to test MA-01 have a total of nine pilots, all of whom are 'enhanced people' like Jacob who have undergone extensive body modifications.
When the air defense commander of the Imperial escort detachment caught Jacob and the others again, he suddenly secretly thought something was wrong.
Because this time it was not the three triangular aircraft that rushed over just now, but nine.
At the same time, the Atlas escort fleet directly ahead also opened fire. Since they were in a deployed artillery formation, the amount of firepower projected per unit time was much higher than that in a dense spindle formation. Imperial escort detachment.
For a time, dense attacks enveloped the front end of the 'spin cone', and the silver-white arc generated by the deflection force field twisted wildly. The commander of each battleship was praying that the deflection force field generator of his battleship could live up to his reputation. A little, help them resist a few more shots from the enemy's main guns.
In this high-pressure situation, except for the air defense commanders, it is difficult for others to pay attention to these 'little things' rushing over.
Even the air defense commander, after demarcating the target, can only choose to put his hands together and start praying. After all, most warships now adjust their main energy supply to the drive of the deflection field and the heat dissipation of the front end of the ship.
Except for the ship's hull weapons, which have a sharply reduced rate of fire due to insufficient supply, the only ones left that can support air defense operations are those HCPs that are ejected to coordinate the attack. .
To be honest, after seeing the outrageous defense penetration ability just now, these air defense commanders had no idea that they would face more unidentified aircraft.
What happened next confirmed their suspicions.
HCP's air interception has basically no effect, not to mention that it is difficult for them to capture these units with relative speeds of hundreds of kilometers per second.
Even if you are lucky enough to capture the target and seize the shooting window, their anti-aircraft shooting will basically have no effect.
The output power of the parallel dual subcritical reactors of the MA-01 is much higher than that of the HCP, not to mention that the 50-meter-level fuselage makes them use a more powerful version.
Therefore, these HCP pilots could only watch helplessly as the enemies came from three directions. They rushed in despite the anti-aircraft firepower. After completing the shooting of the heavy particle cannon, they dropped a large number of heavy particle cannons into the fleet. Plasma torpedo.
When the continuous high-temperature plasma fireballs lit up in the densest position of the formation, both Viscount York and his opposite Cleeves knew that the battle had been won or lost.

""Evil Atlas is haunting Pyra". Is this how your country's media reports news?"
Tower of Babel In the box in the staff canteen responsible for receiving foreign guests, Amber looked at the various news from the empire received on the terminal and looked at Perseus opposite.
The regent's envoy rushed to the Atlas headquarters at this point, with a very simple purpose, which was to promote the rollout of the long-distance real-time communication project.
According to Amber's plan, there are now several cargo fleets of the Yuge family, carrying out transportation and placing communication relay stations in the Star Dragon Empire.
But now that the Federation has brought the war to the Empire, the Regent's need for this technology has become even more urgent.
So this time I sent Perseus here to negotiate with Amber to speed up the progress.
Since Perseus arrived in the early morning of Peony Star, he only saw Amber the next morning after a night's rest.
While the two were having breakfast, Amber also looked at the empire news of the past two days, trying to find some topics to make the opening less awkward.
As a result, I saw a series of negative news about Atlas.
Starting with the failed raid of the imperial escort detachment, which was eventually forced to evacuate after losing more than half of its ships. In the following days, Atlas' escort fleet defeated several "guerrilla" forces in succession. Imperial small fleet.
Not only did it improve the safety of the route for a time, but it also escaped unscathed from an encirclement by multiple imperial fleets, thus making it into the news in the empire.
After hearing Amber’s question, Perseus paused for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment:
"The Regent cannot control all the media. Coupled with the record of your fleet, it is inevitable that such voices will appear among the people."
Perseus' answer made Amber smile. Smiling, he put down the terminal in his hand and looked straight into Perseus' eyes.
"In this case, are you sure you still want to cooperate with our company, which, um, currently does not have a good reputation in your empire?"
