Chapter 1287 Meteor airborne, storm landing battle (1)
March 6, 1390, Star Cluster Era.
This will be a day that will go down in history.
After many jumps, the fleet of the Spinning Water Federation reached the edge of the star system. Going further, it was the star gate they had lost.
In order for the Meteor Operation to proceed smoothly, the Spinning Water Federation removed 5 fleets, totaling nearly 4,000 combat ships of various types, not counting the transport and supply ships at the rear.
And this is just the strength on the surface.
Since the beginning of the war, the Spinning Water Federation has been passively beaten. The 22 fleets have not been effectively mobilized. For a long time, these fleets have been scattered within the vast star territory of the Spinning Water Federation, with the fleets of the Red Maple Republic. Pull.
Now, the fleets in other directions deliberately gave up the less important star systems and freed up their hands to move towards the star system where the star gate is located from all directions.
If the Red Maple Republic’s fleet to seize the Star Gate is like a dagger inserted into the chest of the Spinning Water Federation, then now, the fleet of the Spinning Water Federation is like a hand, grabbing the blade and trying to pull out the dagger. .
Retaking the Star Gate does not mean winning the war, but it means that the Spinning Water Federation completely switches from defense to offense. It can be expected that this will be an extremely important turning point in the war.
The Red Maple Republic is certainly aware of this importance. The existence of the Star Gate is like a protrusion that can reach directly to the capital of the Spinning Water Federation.
As mentioned before, the mobilization of the large fleet cannot be hidden. The Spinning Water Federation launched the Meteor Operation Plan, and the Red Maple Republic also sent a large number of reinforcements to the Star Gate.
The Swan followed the fleet to the edge of the star system. At this distance, the star gate was just a pixel and could not be seen at all.
The only thing that can be considered visible is the habitable planet that the Swan went down and came up before.
Its official name is Stantum, which means 'a place like home'. It was named because of its large ocean area and its similarity to the capital star of the Spinning Water Federation.
Again, this is the goal of the Swan.
At this time, there was a squeaking sound in the bridge, followed by the voice of the fleet commander: "Everyone, I believe you understand the importance of this battle and the difficulty of this battle, but I want to "There is nothing in this world that we cannot solve."
The commander’s voice echoed across all ships in the fleet:
"The invaders from the Red Maple Republic destroyed our home, and we were almost knocked down. However, we stood up, we will fight back, we will drive the invaders out, and we will make the invaders pay the price!"
Although sound cannot be transmitted in the void, at that moment it seemed as if the entire fleet was roaring.
"This battle is not the end, it is just the beginning. Don't fight with the mentality of a martyr. I, we need you all to set foot on the land of the Red Maple Republic together, and let's meet at the post-war celebration banquet. I declare, The meteor battle has officially begun!”
Almost as soon as the words fell, a huge fleet consisting of nearly 4,000 warships began to take action, and the Swan among them was no exception.
"We have received the route map and are adjusting the ship's attitude."
"The reactor is working normally and the system self-test is completed."
"After the energy transfer is completed, the entire ship enters the first level combat state, and all personnel are in place."
Alyssa stared at the cosmic background directly in front of the bridge and ordered:
"Get ready for pulse flight!"
"Understood, pulse flight will start in fifteen seconds."
If such a large fleet wants to take action, the requirements for command and coordination are very, very high. Each ship will receive a route map when it starts taking action, and every warship will start operating according to this route map. The countdown ended, and the Swan, which was on routine voyage, suddenly jerked up. The huge acceleration caused everyone to be firmly pressed on the backrest. The starlight seen from the bridge began to shift, like a twisted line.
"The pulse flight ends and enters the predetermined star field."
At this time, Swan broke away from the pulse flight and was no longer at the edge of the star system.
Looking forward, you can see the planet named Stantum more clearly, and even the star gate further away. If you use optical observation equipment, you can also see some clues.
But what is more eye-catching than these is the engine light.
In the direction of the star gate, the dense engine lights look like someone has sprinkled a handful of sesame seeds on the glass. You have no way of counting how many there are, and the intensity of the engine lights even overshadowed those farther away. The starlight is like a terrifying Milky Way, stretching in front of everyone's eyes.
It was pure violence that belonged to mortals. The most advanced technologies, greatest creations, and most cunning wisdom of mortals were all serving to destroy each other.
"Confirm the engine light, the radar keeps tracking, and it has not yet entered the artillery range."
"No high-threat targets found."
"Friendly combat code received, identification friend or foe signal is good."
Everyone on the bridge was nervous. In fact, not only the bridge, but everyone on the Swan was scratching their feet nervously.
Alyssa is of course no exception. As a recycler, she has experienced numerous ship artillery battles since she was a child, but she has never experienced such a large-scale fleet battle.
Facing the dense engine lights, Alyssa felt an unspeakable shiver in her heart. It is no exaggeration to say that the Swan is more fragile than a baby in swaddling clothes. On a battlefield of this scale, , the power of an individual is extremely small.
She held her trembling left hand with her right hand and took a deep breath:
"Cooperate with friendly forces, sail in the direction indicated by the route map, and maintain cruise speed!"
"Understood, cruise speed."
The Swan was not in the lead, there were still many friendly forces around. Thinking of this, Alyssa felt a little at ease.
After all, humans are animals that like to gather in groups. Only when there are many people do we feel safe.
If you raise the angle of view, from the star map, the Swan and the friendly forces are like a hand separated from the fleet, bypassing the front of the battlefield.
This is a very standard method of using cruisers and mobile aircraft carriers, relying on maneuverability to flank.
There seems to be nothing new in tactics. The main fleet also broke away from pulse flight at the same time, adjusted its formation, and adopted an artillery array.
The Red Maple Republic's attack fleet was similar. It was also adjusting its formation. The two sides continued to approach until they reached the bombardment distance, and then they really started fighting.
Although the planet called Stantum is right in front of us, visual inspection in the void is the most inaccurate data. In fact, it is still very far away, and it is far from being able to start orbiting.
The reason...
"The radar signal confirms that the enemy cruise fleet has broken away from pulse flight and is about to enter the visual range of our fleet."
That's because someone will come and stop you.
