1476 First engagement

When everything outside began to become clearer, through the porthole of the bridge, the captain of the destroyer Scarecrow saw the remains of half of the puppet robot, gently hitting the glass of the porthole of his battleship.

There are wreckage and scattered fragments everywhere. If these fragments were not too small, they would even affect the safety of their space jump.

"Damn it! What happened here?" The captain of the Scarecrow frowned slightly and muttered.

As he muttered this sentence, a black shadow gradually enveloped his sight. He looked in the direction where the light was blocked. The stars there were gradually blocked by a large object.

"How could there be an asteroid here?" The captain looked at the adjutant next to him with some confusion.

The adjutant stared at the black figure over there, and his eyes suddenly widened in the next second: "Damn it! This thing is moving!"

He saw those sharp spikes. Those things were not rocks or metal materials from asteroids, but things that could move and seemed to be alive!

"Fire!" The captain did not hesitate at all and directly issued the order to fire and attack. The moment he shouted the order to fire, the electromagnetic gun turret that had been pointed at the front of the battleship began to rotate toward the side.

"Start the attitude adjustment engine! The bow of the ship is facing the enemy! Prepare to launch energy torpedoes!" The captain saw fragmented iron plates and a broken spacesuit.

Obviously, these things should belong to the nearby transport ship, that huge transport ship of hundreds of thousands of tons, which already looks to be in danger.

"Expand the magic defense barrier! Keep the main engine thrust! Keep the distance!" The captain issued a series of orders while looking at the huge asteroid-like object outside the porthole.

Just as he was observing the object, he saw a dark hole on the object pointed in his direction.

Some black matter, or energy, is gathering inside the black hole.

"That's its weapon! Avoid the ballistic trajectory! Speed ​​up! Let the Iron Spear fire freely!" The captain of the destroyer Scarecrow seemed to have seen some clues and immediately revised his order.

Following his order, the Scarecrow's attitude correction engine began to work. The battleship's flexibility was obviously much better than that of the transport spacecraft, so the attitude adjustment speed was also very fast.

"Boom!" As the destroyer gradually turned its bow towards the target, the turning electromagnetic gun gained an angle to fire.

The weapons officer immediately gave the order to fire, and the shell fired by the electromagnetic gun passed by a straight black ray that looked like light.

The electromagnetic gun's shell hit the solid spikes, refracted at an angle, hit the surface of the sphere, and spattered several fragments.

No one knows whether the cannonball has had its intended effect, because no one has time to care about the effect of the cannonball.

The black light suddenly penetrated the hull of the turning destroyer Scarecrow. It entered from one side of the hull at an angle of almost 45 degrees, penetrated more than a dozen cabins, and penetrated two layers of thick sides.

The armor comes out from the other side!

Before the explosion could occur, the airtightness of the cabin was lost, and some objects and even the puppet robot that happened to be in the cabin were swept away into the universe by the airflow.

"Severe damage between cabins 28-34! The main armor was penetrated! The energy of the magic defense barrier is exhausted! It needs to be recharged!" The officer in charge of the defense looked at the red flashing position on the computer monitor and shouted with wide eyes.

.

He has never seen such a huge damage caused by just one attack! Could it be that the opponent used a weapon more terrifying than an energy torpedo?

But it doesn’t look like it at all! If it were a weapon similar to an energy torpedo, it would not cause such a penetrating wound, but would instead form a large area of ​​damage.

"The structure of the energy torpedo launcher is damaged! There is no way to launch it!" the weapons officer shouted desperately while looking at the computer screen that was also flashing an abnormal red light.

The captain of the Scarecrow, who had just recovered from the violent shock, was also angered by the fatal blow.

He squeezed the armrest of the seat hard with his palms, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Fire all weapons! Cover the Iron Spear's launch of energy torpedoes!"

"Boom!" The electromagnetic gun on the deck was loaded again and launched a second attack on the target not far away.

The cannonball hit the dense spikes in an instant, breaking the sharpest tip of the spike.

"Damn it, what is this thing made of? Is it so hard?" Seeing the image data sent back, the weapons officer muttered angrily.

This shot obviously did not penetrate the opponent's shell, and even the previous shot had no effect. It seemed that the 500 mm caliber electromagnetic gun was unable to deal with the target in front of him.

"A call came from the Iron Spear! Saying that we are within the explosion range of the energy torpedo! Asking us to turn and distance ourselves, and then they..." The liaison officer barely read the Iron Spear's blast from the strong interference.

Incoming message.

This was the first time he had seen this kind of terrifying communication interference. If His Majesty the Emperor had not forcibly ordered the performance of electronic warfare equipment to be improved, the previous equipment would not have been able to withstand such a complex electromagnetic environment.

"Let them open fire immediately! Immediately! Don't take care of us!" the captain of the destroyer Scarecrow shouted at the top of his lungs.

He knew that there were not many opportunities to fire. The opponent had such a powerful weapon and would not give them much time to try to attack.

"Send a distress signal immediately! Send out all the situations we encounter! Quick! Quick!" He stared at the huge target in the distance through the porthole, and issued the order for help while keeping his eyes fixed.

In his opinion, this thing can only be dealt with by using more advanced weapons on cruisers. Relying on destroyers will definitely pay a heavy price.

Following his order, the communications officer began to type on the keyboard in front of him. But before he finished typing, another black line penetrated the thick armored defense shell on the bridge.

This blow was so precise that it directly melted the bridge of the Scarecrow destroyer. On the Scarecrow, which lost control, the attitude engine was still working. Therefore, the Scarecrow, which had completely lost control, began to wander aimlessly in place.
