The Punishment and the carrier-based aircraft sailed alone in the vast starry sky, and fearlessly approached the three enemy ships at extremely fast speeds.

Ri~----!

Phew~----!

Suddenly, a 3-ton tungsten iron projectile came out of the barrel with a shining blue light, instantly cut through the starry sky, and directly hit the 3.5-kilometer-long "Beetle" flagship.

But buzz~--!

A purple energy barrier helped the flagship successfully block the originally invincible tungsten iron projectiles.

This shot from the Punishment was like a wasp. The densely packed blue and purple carrier-based aircraft quickly poured out of the hangar of "cockroaches" and "beetles", like a swarm of bees.

Then thousands of enemy planes, with round heads and shriveled feet that looked like space insects, gradually broke away from their fleet, formed a huge overwhelming net, and pounced on the lonely Punishment.

The bridge at this time.

"Captain! The main gun cannot penetrate the shield of the enemy's flagship!" a crew member shouted in shock.

The atmosphere on the entire bridge was much heavier, because in the crew's perception, nothing could withstand an electromagnetic gun projectile.

There is, and the crew never knew it, a god's body piloted by the Primarch.

Miranda's facial expression, on the other hand, said calmly: "It's expected. There's nothing surprising about it. Continue to report on the current status and how long it will take for the enemy carrier-based aircraft to enter the range of the close-in defense artillery."

With this calm captain, the crew no longer panics.

A crew member immediately reported: "It is expected to enter our range in 75 seconds, Captain."

"Okay." Miranda nodded lightly, glanced at the small holographic screen on the right, and ordered based on the current situation:

"Let the two secondary guns continue to bombard the enemy's flagship. There is no need to consider the overheating of the gun barrels. When the main gun completes charging, it will fire directly without asking for my order.

There is no unbreakable barrier in the world.

Then notify the pilots of all squadrons and ask them to protect the Thunder transport aircraft and let the Thunder close to the enemy's flagship at all costs.

As long as Thutmose can successfully join the gang, we will do anything even if the entire squadron, including our own ship, is destroyed."

"Yes! Captain!"

"Secondary battery locked...fire!"

"Boom-! Boom-!"

The noise of the 300mm secondary gun firing was transmitted into the bridge through the hull, and at the same time, two huge plasma cannons passed through the sides of the porthole.

Boom-!Boom-!

The artillery regiment "evaporated" everything in its path, and the enemy carrier-based aircraft without shields finally bombarded directly on the purple shield of the "Beetle" flagship.

Naturally, the enemy fleet would not be beaten in vain, and began to launch a counterattack against the Punishment.

I saw cannon groups of different sizes, purple, blue or green, similar to plasma technology, fired from the gun barrels of the three enemy ships.

Moreover, the two "cockroaches" were gradually leaving the formation. It seemed that they wanted to cooperate with the flagship to surround the Punishment.

Observe this space from a distance.

Against the background of deep space, artillery batteries of various colors flashed across, especially the attacks from the three enemy ships, which seemed to be engulfing the Punishment.

However, the Punishment's flexibility and maneuverability were obviously superior to those of the three enemy ships, and it relied on its speed and irregular route to avoid most artillery attacks.

Even if it was hit by a small group of artillery, it could not seriously damage the Punishment, and it could only melt through the outermost armor.

However, as the distance from the flagship and enemy aircraft groups continued to shrink, the pressure faced by the Punishment also increased.

Until the enemy plane is about to enter the range of the close-in defense artillery...

Ri~----!

Phew~----!

The Punishment fired its main gun again, and the blue-light trajectory passed through the enemy aircraft group in the blink of an eye, and hit the flagship shield again...

Ka-...wha~la-!

This time, the purple shield began to rapidly collapse and dissipate at the impact point of the projectile, causing the Beetle flagship to completely "open wide."

Doing the math, the interval between the two attacks of the main gun is only about sixty seconds.

Fast, light, and high-attack are the characteristics of the Paris-class frigates, and the "fast" also includes the rate of fire of the main gun.

Boom-~!

Moreover, the much weakened projectiles still penetrated the outer armor and continued to cause damage to the interior of the flagship.

But this kind of damage is extremely insignificant to a 3.5-kilometer-class flagship.

But everyone on the Punishment didn't place their hopes on this either.

The bridge at this moment.

"Captain! The main gun successfully destroyed the enemy flagship's shield!"

"very good."

Miranda looked forward, looking at the flagship that occupied the entire porthole view and the densely packed enemy planes. She waved her left hand forward and ordered:

"Breakthrough at maximum speed! Inform the squadron not to worry about the harassment of flies (enemy planes) for the time being. This ship will deal with it for them and focus on the escort mission!"

"yes!"

"The air defense system has completed the lock-on...fire!"

at the same time.

Twelve seven-barreled 35mm close-in defense guns were all aimed at the enemy planes that were attacking and harassing the Punishment, and then the gun barrels began to rotate rapidly.

Ri~ da da da!!

Dense pulse shells were fired in all directions, forming a projectile net in the opposite direction, extremely efficiently destroying enemy aircraft that Miranda described as flies.

Take advantage of this opportunity.

Three combat squadrons protected the Thunder III regiment in the center and rushed forward under the cover of the barrage.

When they were about to collide with the flagship, the eighteen Vikings and Falcons turned around at high speed, changed their flight direction and evacuated.
Chapter completed!
