Chapter 1019 Wanted Order
In naval battles, tonnage is combat power, and this is the same on space battleships.
Greater tonnage not only means higher armor and stronger firepower, but also an all-round crushing.
The Swan is a light cruiser and is the entry-level battleship with the smallest tonnage among battleships. Even after the transformation at the royalist base, its core parts still cannot be modified. After all, if you really want to modify it, a few days will obviously not be enough.
The Swan's engine and magic rudder are still the original configurations produced by Storm Kingdom. If it is replaced by a larger destroyer with a higher engine power, it is really possible to use pulse flight to escape with the gap found by An Yun, but the Swan The engine was not powerful enough and could not get rid of the entanglement.
Alyssa secretly cursed her bad luck. At this time, Vilania, as the correspondent, said:
"There is a communication request"
"Quick! Get connected immediately!"
One of the warring parties must have discovered them, and they were lucky enough to focus their fire without saying a word.
Due to the strong interference in the battlefield, the other party did not use visual communication, only audio.
"This is the Fifth Fleet of the Red Maple Republic, an unknown ship. Please identify yourself."
The grass is actually the fleet of the Red Maple Republic.
Alyssa was still causing trouble in other people's territory not long ago. I hope they don't want the Swan, otherwise she may be besieged here.
"This is the light cruiser belonging to recycler Alyssa Li. We accidentally entered the battlefield and have no intention of helping any party. We will leave as quickly as possible."
Then Alyssa reported the identification code again.
The other side didn't reply immediately, probably for verification. The time passed by second by second, and it seemed like a year.
A few seconds later, accompanied by a sharp popping sound, the other party said:
"Captain Alyssa, you have broken into the air defense identification zone, and according to our information, you are wanted. We are willing to give you and your crew a fair trial, and immediately follow the route we have given. Go to the designated coordinates, where someone will be responsible for guiding you. "
It broke, and sure enough, he was still wanted.
The Red Maple Republic is not stupid. When they went to the prison to rescue people, a formation of three battleships chased the Swan. Although Zaku 2's self-destruction killed one of them in the end, the other two battleships definitely retained the Swan's Appearance and engine information, and use this as clues to launch investigations and arrests.
The other party destroyed the Swan without saying a word, probably because he planned to get information about the royalists and the princess from Alyssa.
Alyssa doesn't care about being wanted. To put it bluntly, the recycler business is similar to a licensed pirate. We are often wanted in one country, so we go to other countries.
Alyssa has been in this business since she was a child, and she instantly understood the other party's intentions.
After taking a look at the route information sent by the other party, Alyssa responded:
"We will move forward according to the route, please provide necessary cover."
"The artillery cover is in place, you can pass."
After saying that, the other party cut off the communication.
Carlos looked back at Alyssa, who shook her head and said:
"Turn ninety degrees and descend at full speed."
This is completely different from the route sent by the other party, and it is estimated that the other party will discover it immediately.
Of course, you cannot do what the other party says.
The so-called fair trial is all nonsense. Once the Swan is caught, everyone on board will be tortured first. After obtaining useful information, the rest will depend on whether they will be imprisoned or executed secretly.
There was no way Alyssa would do what they said unless her brain was kicked by a donkey.
Just in time, the Swan's smoke generator had burned out. Under the cover of the huge smoke wall behind its butt, the Swan's hull moved from level flight to a ninety-degree downward dive, while turning the engine output to the maximum.
Naturally, the change in engine light immediately attracted the attention of the Red Maple Republic's Fifth Fleet, and another beep of incoming communication sounded from the side of Villania's seat. "Ignore him and let's run on the other side."
The Swan, which was diving vertically, rolled its hull, turning around in a very exaggerated flipping motion for a three-hundred-meter-long battleship, and ran directly under the smoke it had just created.
This operation is like an aircraft carrier turning over in the sky. Only light cruisers have this level of maneuverability, and other warships are not so flexible.
The smoke just pulled was now above the head of the Swan, like a huge ceiling.
Just now, the Swan was heading in the direction of the Red Maple Republic's Fifth Fleet, but now it has turned around and is moving away from them using the cover of smoke.
Qian Chenghe said before that the Xuanshui Federation is at war with the Red Maple Republic. Since this side is the Red Maple Republic, the other side must be the Xuanshui Federation.
And Alyssa is very familiar with the people of the Spinning Water Federation. Her grandfather's starship was built by the Spinning Water Federation, and the probability of getting protection is higher if she goes there.
At this time, more than ten or twenty ion beams from the main gun passed through the smoke screen. Judging from the scale, it was probably the effect of four or five warships firing at the same time. The Swan moved forward among the falling beams.
The good news is that due to the obstruction of the smoke screen, the opponent's aiming is obviously interfered with.
As for the bad news...
"There is movement in the smoke screen. There should be a battleship chasing us!"
Through the Swan's rear viewfinder, one can indeed see the hazy engine light appearing in the smoke screen diagonally above.
Immediately afterwards, the bow of a battleship poked its head out of the smoke screen.
Alyssa recognized that it was the bow of a light cruiser. This was normal. The other warships were still firing cannons at their respective positions. You couldn't destroy your formation just because you wanted to chase Alyssa. You could send What is being pursued is the light cruiser class.
"Turn around the rocket launcher nest."
Long responded from the weapons officer's position:
"The rocket launcher is ready!"
"Fire all the bombs, don't leave any behind!"
The rocket launching nests on the wings of the Swan were turned 180°. As soon as the opponent's cruiser got out of the smoke screen, a large number of rockets were seen approaching.
Compared with anti-aircraft guns and naval guns, which both have automatic loaders and can fire fully automatically, rockets are very manual.
After emptying, you must find a place for the Swan to stop, then open the warehouse, manually remove the rockets, and then stuff them into the launch nest one by one, which can be said to be quite laborious.
But use it when it's time to use it, this is not the time to save.
Large rockets over 500 mm formed a dense rain of bullets, and the trailing white smoke made it difficult to see clearly through the rear viewfinder. All that could be seen was that the shield of the opponent's warship was activated, and then a whole set of rockets hit its face.
The only weapons that the Swan can fire towards the rear are rockets, and now that they have fired all of them, Alyssa does not think that rockets alone can defeat a warship.
There were two ways before her now, either to run towards the Swirling Federation while being beaten, or to use the modified Swan with improved maneuverability to deal with the opponent's cruiser, which was commonly known as a dog fight in air combat.
When she was hesitating, wanting to see the damage effect of the rocket before making a decision, a purple-red flash flashed across the rear viewfinder.
"You still have to watch me come to the rescue at critical moments."
Li Chengqi's voice echoed in the bridge. Alyssa lowered her head and looked at the ship's information. She didn't know when the airlock was opened.
Li Chengqi is very shameless in opening the airlock. He doesn't need any permission at all. I can open it whenever I want.
Immediately afterwards, the location covered by the rocket suddenly lit up, and a huge orange flash erupted in the smoke.
Hall was at a loss on the bridge, and opened his mouth wide when he saw the flash of the explosion.
It turns out that he really killed a battleship!
