Chapter 389 The Empire’s Way of Fighting
Indeed, through the performance of the War Fortress just now, everyone understands that if you want to break through the defense of that thing, you must have a main battle unit such as the Corruptor.
Just relying on those little locusts to break through the defense is a bit of a dream.
And the most important thing is that even if you can break through their defenses and withstand the damage, you still have to think about how to remove their shield. If you can't remove the shield, then your approach will be in vain.
Moreover, the internal situation of the war fortress and the number of warships are also very exaggerated. This is the most critical thing.
With such a large number of warships, coupled with the firepower network formed by the war fortress, players estimate that even using Thunder Beasts to break through the defenses is impossible.
After all, the enemy's firepower could not stop them, and more than 500 million bugs persisted for two hours.
With this kind of output, it would be impossible for a high-level thunder beast to withstand it.
And this wave of players also have a profound understanding of the power of this civilization.
"It's crazy. No matter what happened in the empire, the group here was wiped out. Why haven't they come over yet?" After sighing at this moment, the players suddenly thought of an important thing.
"It's coming soon, the empire's fleet will arrive in 10 minutes at most." Just then I replied, the Eyeworm player, and then he continued to add, "Didn't you see that the fortresses of the Destroyer Civilization haven't left yet? ? It’s obvious that the empire’s fleet was discovered.”
After hearing this, the players immediately became interested, so they continued to set their sights on the battlefield. Now they want to see who is stronger and who is weaker between these two civilizations.
Just like this, amid the players' expectations, the empire's fleet also arrived in this galaxy.
As soon as they arrived here, the empire's fleet saw the insect wreckage over there and the war fortress in the distance.
At this time, looking at the corpses of insects in the sky, the imperial commander turned his attention to the war fortress of the Destroyer Civilization.
"It seems that we arrived a step late, but what I didn't expect was that the Crossel civilization was actually here, and they also brought the war fortress here. They were really willing to spend a lot of money."
Speaking of this, the commander of the Imperial Civilization immediately ordered the entire ship to enter combat status.
As the imperial commander's order was issued, these warships immediately began to attack the war fortress of the Crossel civilization.
Not to be outdone, the Crossel civilization began to fight back against the empire's warships, and the war between the two sides began.
Compared with the Crossel Civilization Empire, they are obviously at a disadvantage because their total fleet is now only 10 million.
Although there are one million main battleships among them, it is impossible for this number to compete with the war fortresses of the Crossel civilization and the hundreds of millions of battleships.
"Speaking of which, there is something wrong with the empire's brain. In this situation, wouldn't it be appropriate to send meat to the enemy?"
"Yes, the strength gap between the two sides is really too big."
"I really don't understand what the empire's intention is."
"I'm a little confused too."
At this time, while the players were talking a lot, several extremely fast battleships caught their attention.
Because these battleships are all cruise-level, but their maneuverability is higher than that of the escort-level.
And because they can easily advance with firepower, it is not difficult to see that the defensive capabilities of this kind of warship are not weak.
Then, under the gaze of the players, these battleships got closer and closer to the empire's war fortress. When the distance reached a certain stage, only a few missile-like things flew out of them.
These missiles did not fly very far before they exploded, and then a special force field suddenly began to spread outward from the explosion area.
As time goes by, the scope of this diffusion becomes larger and larger.
"Jump Monopoly Field?"
At this time, looking at this special force field, the players were a little unsure.
"It's a force field! And looking at the spread, it's likely to target the entire galaxy." Just when the players were a little doubtful about this, the Euglena players on the front line answered their question.
"Holy shit!"
"What kind of black technology is this? It can cover half of the galaxy without deployment. It can be directly launched."
"Holy shit, this thing is a bit outrageous. It means that if they use this thing in a war with the empire, then both sides will have no choice but to fight to the death."
"It would take a very long time to escape such a large-scale interference at normal navigation speeds, so as long as they use this thing, it will be basically impossible for us to escape."
"We can only go head-on, but if we go head-to-head with the Imperial fleet, I think we will die very quickly."
"It seems that this empire is planning to compete with the Crossel civilization."
"I think so, but I'm curious about what incredible technology the empire's warships have that makes them so powerful."
"Who knows, keep reading and the answer will be revealed later."
In this way, the players were discussing and watching the battle between the two sides.
As the battle between the two sides continued, the empire's fleet stopped about 20 million kilometers away from the enemy and began to engage in a sniper battle with the enemy.
The disadvantages of this kind of long-distance war fortress were immediately revealed.
Although the War Fortress's long-range cannon can cause damage to enemies at this distance, the damage caused by its mid-range and short-range cannons is limited.
Fortunately, the war fortress has many main guns, and these main guns can kill the empire's flagship.
But it is obvious that the empire's combat policy this time is to use the performance of other warships to consume them.
As for the flagship, they just tried their best to give up if they couldn't save it.
Now that the war has started, players have finally seen the war advantages brought about by the technological gap.
Although the war fortress is powerful enough, it is a pity that the technological level of the Crossel civilization is still much lower than that of the empire.
Therefore, they do not have much advantage in an ultra-long-distance combat environment.
At this time, the Crossel civilization naturally discovered their disadvantage, so they immediately made tactical adjustments. They sent a large number of warships and began to advance in the direction of the empire.
Because the entire galaxy has been disrupted, it is basically impossible for the War Fortress to close the distance.
After all, the normal sailing speed of this thing is very slow, and it usually moves distances through leaps or jumps. When they sent warships to rush in, the cannon fodder fleet on the empire's side rushed forward and launched an attack on their warships. Due to the absolute suppression in numbers, the empire's cannon fodder certificates would soon be exhausted.
Then they set their sights on the empire's main battleship.
Players who are closely watching this battle naturally know that the empire's fleet will be finished soon.
However, just when the players thought so, the eyeworm player on the front line told them that he had discovered a lot of warships coming this way.
And those who learned this news probably guessed the empire's tactics.
There is a high probability that the empire has a powerful support fleet, so this group of fleets will stay here to fight a war of attrition with the enemy.
The purpose is to delay time until the support troops arrive.
At this time, the Crossel civilization obviously realized that the situation was not good, so their charging troops also accelerated their speed in order to eliminate this wave of the empire's main fleet before the support fleet arrived.
Otherwise, if other warships from the empire arrive, their situation will be passive.
At the same time, their war fortress also began to evacuate towards the edge of the galaxy. Although the maneuverability of the war fortress was poor, they could not stand here stupidly forever.
And when the empire saw that the fleet of the Crossel civilization was getting closer and closer to them, they saw that these warships also began to move around and began to fight guerrillas with the enemy.
The empire's warships took advantage of their maneuverability to easily distance themselves from Crossel's fleet, and began to kite the warships of Crossel's civilization.
Although the warships of the Crossel Civilization were still able to hit the empire's warships during the movement, only a small part of their warships caused damage to the empire due to speed and distance.
Most of the rest of the damage was avoided by the Empire.
The situation on the empire's side is completely opposite to theirs. The attack of their warships on the Crossel civilization is simply shocking.
Basically, one salvo will take away a large number of the opponent's warships.
"Speaking of which, brothers, why do I always feel that this empire's fight against the Crossel civilization is just like grandpa fighting against his grandson."
"Yes, use the high maneuverability of the battleship to play with them."
"Furthermore, the enemy has no way to deal with this roaming pattern."
"But it is not difficult to see from this that the technological level of this empire is much higher than that of the Crossel civilization."
"Because that special weapon interfered with the entire space. In the past, their war fortress could use short-distance jumps to shorten the distance between the two sides, but now all they can do is fight with the empire on ships. Mobility.”
"But Crosell's side has no chance of winning when it comes to mobility, and it can only be left to others to decide."
"I have to admit that we underestimated the strength of the empire before. We originally thought that the enemy's cannon fodder battleships were not much different from their main battleships, but now it seems that the gap between the two is really too big."
"I think I was still fantasizing before that we would go back and join the Empire after we are fully developed. But from the current situation, it seems that if we go to trouble the Empire before we have developed to a certain level, then there is a high probability that we will be grouped. .”
"We still have to take a long-term view of the empire's plan. The empire's technological level far exceeds our expectations."
And while the players were still talking about it, the empire's support fleet also arrived.
Contrary to what players thought, what the empire brought this time was not battleships but a large number of giant mechas.
From the appearance, the first impression of these mechas is that they are bloated and bulky, but it is undeniable that the firepower of mechas that usually give people this impression is very fierce.
When these mechas appeared, they naturally attracted the attention of the Crossel civilization for the first time.
The warships they were pursuing on the front line immediately flew towards the war fortress after seeing the mecha coming.
After this batch of warships arrived, the next moment countless other types of warships were seen flying out of the war fortress.
The total number of warships of various types would be worth at least 100 million according to players' visual estimation.
At this time, seeing how cautious the Crossel civilization was, players could naturally guess that these mechas might not be as simple as they thought.
After all, when these mechas appeared, the Crossel civilization directly chose to show off its wealth.
Because the total number of these mechas is actually only about 50 million, and the combat effectiveness of mechas is usually much weaker than that of battleships, so it stands to reason that the Crossel civilization does not need to go to war like this.
But they are so cautious at this moment, and it is not difficult to see that they are afraid of this group of mechas.
Compared with battleship combat, the combat method of some mechas is much simpler and cruder.
I saw these mechas rushing directly towards the war fortress of Crossel Civilization without any bells and whistles.
When the Crossel Civilized warships surrounding the war fortress saw the mecha troops approaching, they opened fire directly. Not only that, even the war fortress did the same thing.
But what surprised the players was that in the face of such fierce cannon fodder from the Crossel civilization, these mechas did not choose to evade and continued to move forward.
The mecha in the front row of these mechas directly raised a shield composed of a blue light screen and blocked it in front of him.
A large number of these defensive mechas relied on shields to form a giant shield and continued to advance against the super firepower of the Crossel civilization.
At this time, when the players saw this scene, they couldn't help but be amazed, because these seemingly fragile shields could easily withstand most of the firepower of the Crossel civilization.
Although there are some areas that are not blocked due to too much enemy firepower, once gaps appear in these areas, other defensive mechas from behind will rush up to cover them.
At this time, the players present also knew that these shields were not simple. Being able to withstand such a huge amount of attacks can only imagine how amazing the defensive capabilities of these shields are.
"I am invincible with this shield. If we could get this thing and make it into a battle armor, we would go to heaven." As he said this, a player looked at these shields and his eyes lit up.
"Come on, if you want to get the shield, you have to consider whether we can beat them."
"With their combat capabilities, I'm thinking that we are here to deliver meat to others. If you want to kill the mecha and seize the shield, you are probably thinking too much."
"But I'm very curious about what kind of material these shields are made of and they are so hard."
"I feel that these things are no worse than the armors made by the starry sky beasts that our thunder beasts wear."
In this way, people were discussing that these mecha warriors were getting closer and closer to the Crossel civilization. Although during the advancement process, these shields were eventually defeated because they could not withstand too much firepower, but after defeating They had been very close to the enemy before.
As for the remaining distance, these defensive mechas in the front row directly relied on the shields of the mechas themselves to lead the large forces into the enemy's fleet group and start a battle with the enemy.
