Chapter 624, Subspace Shadow
At the same time that Varuk's fleet appeared from the jump point, not far from the Alliance's main fleet, the previously lost Mechanicus small fleet also appeared.
There was no foreplay, the ships didn't even attempt to open fire. They understood that with the little firepower in their fleet, it would not make much sense to launch a bombardment with all their strength. Knocking out one or two small ships would not have an effective impact on the battle situation at all.
They have more important tasks.
These ships of the Mechanicus crazily advanced towards the main position of the Alliance fleet, as if they wanted to collide with them.
Collision... may be regarded as a tactic in some ancient and outrageous naval textbooks, but it is obviously so nonsense that it cannot be seen in actual wars except for a few unexpected situations.
But that's what these crazy ships seem to do.
That certainly won't let them succeed.
Even in the critical battle situation where Varuk's main fleet appeared at the jump point in advance, the alliance's fleet still allocated some firepower to deal with these crazy ships.
Adhering to the idea that no matter what they were going to do, if they blew them up, the problem would always be solved. The alliance concentrated fire fiercely and blew up the void shields and energy shields of these ships in a short period of time. Only the ship's armor was left, which was obviously not enough to compete with the alliance's fierce firepower.
After several more rounds of artillery fire, the firepower that penetrated the armor blasted almost all of these ships into space junk.
At this stage, the main firepower of the Alliance fleet is still dealing with the main force of the Varuk fleet that has just completed the transition and has not had time to deploy its shields.
The decisive battle between two fleets of similar size, and even Varuk's fleet that is stronger, will take place at a location like the transition point. The first mover advantage must be used as much as possible.
Shooting first may not completely determine the outcome of this war, but it is obviously a huge weight in the balance. As long as one or two of the opponent's main ships are destroyed at this stage, it will be a very huge result; even if it is not possible, it will be good to destroy more frigates and cruisers.
The Varuk fleet used some special technology to deceive the alliance's star observation capabilities and arrive early, leaving the alliance somewhat unprepared. This was already reducing the alliance's first-mover advantage; and the small fleet that came out from the side , and also attracted some of the firepower, which also reduced the pressure on the arrival of the main force of Varuk's fleet.
However, the Alliance fleet soon discovered that this was just a trivial matter.
I originally thought that the problem would be solved after all the small fleets that came up from the side were destroyed. Although in previous reports, it was mentioned that they have a weird technology of releasing 'spores' that can directly threaten their own ships. However, if the ship has been blown up by you, no matter how powerful this technology is, it will be useless, right?
Not really.
After those ships were blown to pieces, the battle that had just focused its main attention on the jump point was projecting firepower ferociously, trying to take advantage of this stage when the enemy ships had no time to open their shields and attack them as much as possible. When the damage was caused, more than thirty alliance ships suddenly reported to the fleet headquarters that their ships had been invaded.
That 'spore' appears again.
It looks like a huge insect egg that looks larger than the average landing spacecraft. This egg-shaped thing seems to have floated out from the wreckage of those small fleets. The purple-black appearance is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye - on the scale of the universe, it is actually difficult to observe anything with the naked eye.
However, the multiple observation methods of the auspicious instrument and the astrological tower failed to detect the approach of this strange space flying object.
By the time it was detected, it was already too late.
As it slowly passed through the void shield, the ship's short-range firepower knocked down some, but not much. Generally speaking, whether it is fighting pirates, human civil war, or dealing with monsters such as green skins, when being boarded to fight, the opponent usually has to choose some suitable place to land. The ship's deck, gun ports, and bottom cabins...these places are relatively weak. There is a place to get in. Even if you have to make a hole to break through, it must be convenient.
For this reason, the ship's short-range defensive firepower will also focus on taking care of these locations.
However, the target of these insect eggs is not here.
They casually found a place and stuck it on. The insect eggs had some kind of stickiness. After being stuck on, their surface melted quickly, and the mucus formed dissolved the outer armor of the ship.
The range of dissolution is only about ten meters or even several meters. For a huge battleship, it was not a serious injury. Even if enemy fire comes through the void shield, it is still not easy to hit this dissolved part on a scale of several kilometers or tens of kilometers.
As for the problem of "air leakage" caused by part of the ship's armor and hull being dissolved, there is no need to worry. Any large-scale ship has made very detailed plans and preparations for such risks. It should be isolated and isolated, and the ship damage management department is not free of charge.
However, the key point is not the dissolution of the armor, but the very large number of Zerg soldiers that subsequently emerge from the eggs.
The reason why it is described as a soldier is because it has a roughly personal appearance; and the prefix "Zerg" is mainly because its head, arms, and body structure have too many characteristics of the Zerg, and there are many more. Characteristics of mechanical modifications.
It should be some kind of insect swarm technology developed by the Mechanicus, and it should be a new type of modified servitor. Mechanical modification and biological modification technology are used together, and the resulting thing is really powerful in individual combat.
From this perspective, the initial goal of those small ships rushing over was not just to attract firepower. Rather than being beaten up, it is better to say that they came here to commit suicide.
After the self-destruction, the eggs released plunged at least thirty Alliance ships into chaos.
It even includes two of the alliance's main ships: the Hippogriff and the Golden Pass.
The former is an aircraft carrier and the latter is a battleship.
Gu Hang himself was on board the Jinguan.
On two giant ships, dealing with these problems is quite simple.
There is no need for Gu Hang to take action, there are enough marines in the ship and the Glory Guards can handle it. Not to mention, the space warriors of the two battle groups, Raging Flame and New Age Torch, are also well-positioned to eliminate the invaders.
It also failed to affect ship operations.
However, it is somewhat difficult to deal with other small and medium-sized ships that have been invaded. The Alliance's marines have generally been pulled to the T4 level. The ships are equipped with Sentinel mechas, individual exoskeletons, armored combat vehicles with good passing performance such as Walkers, and even a small number of commander-type armored vehicles. There are elite troops with power armor.
But despite this, without the help of Space Marines, large-scale Honor Guards or Battle Sisters, it is still difficult to completely suppress these invading monsters.
These invaded ships will not be destroyed, but chaos within the ships is inevitable, which affects the combat efficiency of the ships.
Gu Hang did not pay too much attention to these issues.
These are all small tricks.
After layer by layer of small combos, the alliance's first-mover advantage has indeed been reduced a lot.
But not important.
These have some impact on the balance of victory, but to be honest it is not big.
He always remembers that his most powerful weapon is his own psychic power.
As long as his psychic power can be used normally, victory in the war will always belong to the Alliance.
However, he also did not forget the inexplicable emotional anxiety that had appeared before.
If this is understood as a sign of danger, it is far from being fulfilled until now.
The small combo moves Varuk made were quite useful, but they were far from enough to make Gu Hang anxious.
It was nothing more than affecting the alliance's first-mover advantage. Seeing that basically all members of Varuk's fleet had passed through the star tunnel, they had already appeared in front of the alliance fleet and set up their formation. The void shields that should be activated have already been activated, and the entire price paid is only four cruisers plus less than twenty destroyers and frigates, which is not a large amount.
But so what?
Gu Hang's psychic power was already stirring, and all members of the Storm Mage Group were already in place.
The target has been selected, so let’s look for the largest-looking Mechanical Ark first.
Gu Hang was trying to tear open its void shield.
This is not the first time that the entire alliance fleet has cooperated with its own boss. They are switching their firepower, waiting for the void shield to be torn apart, and then focusing their fire to destroy it as quickly as possible.
But during this process, Gu Hang was fully prepared and kept a little bit of caution.
If the previous anxious premonition comes true, it will probably come true in this place.
Varuk might not have any means to deal with his psychic powers.
Gu Hang wanted to take a look, what exactly could it be?
Then, it really came.
When Gu Hang tore open the curtain between the Kingdom of Storms and the real universe, intending to bring down the power of the Kingdom of God with all his strength and tear open the void shield of the Mechanical Ark, he suddenly felt his eyes go dark.
It's not that I'm dizzy, but that I'm really dark.
That was the perspective seen through the Kingdom of Storm God. A thick shadow shrouded his entire Kingdom of Storm God.
Varuk's methods actually came from subspace!
This is what really surprised Gu Hang!
I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it...
The subspace shadow that shrouds the Kingdom of Storms isolates the power from the Kingdom of God from penetrating into the real universe.
In turn, Gu Hang's own spiritual power was also affected.
Immediately afterwards, the main subspace shadow was still covering the entire battlefield.
Not only Gu Hang, but all psychics felt heavy pressure!
At the same time, Alfonzo's fleet opened fire.
