Although they encountered devastating firepower, this did not affect the determination of the Tau ships to charge. They showed amazing courage. The more than 70 surviving ships were divided into groups of more than 20 ships each.
Launched a suicidal attack on the Ada cluster, including their flagship Jin Xun.
"Be sure to collect all the opponent's weapon data!"
The Tau fleet commander stared intently at the incredibly huge Ada battleship ahead of him, with an incomprehensible appearance. He had neither fear nor anger at the moment, only incomparable concentration.
"...In the future, our descendants will definitely have larger and more powerful battleships than this!"
At this moment, the ship shook violently. If he hadn't been holding the railing, he would have fallen down.
"There was an explosion in cabin 19!!"
The elder Tu clan technical chief vigorously reported the damage to the ship.
"It's the enemy's energy weapon! It directly ignores the shield system!"
"Record the energy index and change range of the attack immediately! Send the data beacon to the rear!"
At this time, there were not many ships left around the fleet flagship, and they seemed to be so far away from the huge Ada battleship.
"Scanned enemy missile group!"
"The speed is too fast! Point defense weapons cannot intercept it!"
"Record enemy missile flight parameters!"
Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions exploded on the right side of this hero-class cruiser that had experienced the Tyrannic War. The blast of air blasted open the solid steel blast doors, and several decks were opened. Various liquids and gases passed through the breach.
The mouths were flowing everywhere, triggering a chain reaction. The interior of the ship began to catch fire, and the fire grew stronger and stronger, causing more small explosions to continue to occur...
"...The main cable was burned! The electric rudder failed! You can only use the hand steering wheel!"
"Emergency fire extinguishing system efficiency dropped to 20%!"
Although there was no way out, the Tau people on the ship did not give up their last glimmer of hope. They still insisted on putting out the fire in the darkness, trying to continue to stagger the warship forward.
"Closer! Come closer! All the detectors that can still be used are used to scan the enemy warships! Even if it's just the outline! Pass any useful information to the beacon!"
But immediately a third, more violent explosion occurred inside the ship, ruthlessly shattering the last thoughts of all the Tau people present.
Subsequently, the temperature inside the ship became lower and lower, and the ventilation system completely failed.
At this moment, a scarred cruiser appeared in front of the Jinxun at a faster speed. The Tau commander who had already put on a breathing mask was immediately stunned.
"The Brave..."
Immediately afterwards, he knew the other party's intention, and his eyes became moist.
The battleship, which was already full of bullet marks and holes, began to use its body to escort the Jinxun. At this moment, a lot of the firepower that had originally been poured on the Jinxun bombarded the Brave.
This is also the first time for many Tau people to see a scene where the armor and structure of a ship are forcibly "stripped off" from the keel. If there are humans present, they will definitely marvel that this is similar to a kind of torture called "Lingchi".
The Brave Warrior only lasted ten seconds before it completely turned into pieces.
But it was enough. The Jinxun became the Tau cruiser closest to the Ada battleship. At this time, there were only the same kind of wreckage left around it. It was also covered in devastation, as if it would self-destruct at any time.
However, unexpectedly, all the Ada warships stopped shooting and stared at the dilapidated boat from a distance as it turned its bow with difficulty.
"Huh...huh...here we are..."
In the nearly torn bridge, the Tau commander was lying on the weapons console. On the chair next to him was the half-length remains of the Earth clan technician who was fixed by a restraint belt. He had just been killed by the catastrophic explosion and breach.
He killed everyone, and only he managed to survive relying on the Qi clan's adaptability to space and the protective clothing he wore.
"...Just...attack...shield..."
In an almost weightless environment, the Tau commander tried hard to fix himself on the weapon console. After groping for a while, he grasped the mechanical control lever for emergency manual shooting, but at this time all the aiming systems were offline. This kind of
There is no point in shooting under the circumstances.
But now, it seems that there is no need to aim anymore...
He raised his head and stared at the dreamlike creation.
"...It's so beautiful..."
Then he pulled the mechanical control lever, and a magnetic cannon located at the bow began to spray the remaining shells in the turret forward like a gasp.
The Jinxun was like a dying soldier, using its own pistol to shoot the last bullet in its magazine at the Titan running forward.
Naturally, the shells it fired couldn't even reach the side of the Slayer, or even if a few lucky bullets did, they were annihilated by its own defuse shield.
Just like that, the Ada ship watched quietly as it fired its last cannonball.
"...Close attack...I understand...You have to deal with them at close range..."
Just as the Tau commander was trying to send out the last words, a starlight spear from the Killer hit the head of the Jinxun and directly penetrated the entire hull. The ensuing explosion and shock wave destroyed tons of metal.
The structure was thrown into the distant starry sky, less than an hour after the initial exchange of fire between the two sides...
Since then, all 197 Tau warships have been sunk!
The battlefield was completely quiet. Only a few small boats were left and fled quickly. Because they were too small to be called boats, Carmustine was too lazy to chase them.
"Report to Commander Star, all enemy ships have been destroyed."
Giulio did not show any joy when he received the news, but just replied lightly.
"I understand, the mission is not over yet."
At this time, he looked to the other side of the astrolabe. Almost as the left wing squadron was annihilating the enemy's reinforcements, the right wing squadron was also annihilating another Tau reinforcements of 100 warships, and at a faster speed.
The other approaching enemy groups on the astrolabe stopped moving at this time. Obviously they already knew that it was pointless to die one by one, but stopping did not mean that they were timid. They were waiting...
At the edge of the star map, a dazzling red color began to appear. This was a psychic signal from a distant reconnaissance ship. It could only mean one thing -
"It's finally here."
Giulio checked the time, and it was similar to what he estimated. Although these Tau ships did not have the ability to move in subspace, their sailing speed in the physical universe was not very slow.
Soon the ships on the left and right wings returned to the formation. They abandoned the Tau family world that had no defense and began to move towards the main Tau fleet that was trying to come back for reinforcements. According to tactical deductions, the Tau ships
Because of the difference in size and age, it is difficult to maintain a consistent speed. Once they learn that their home planet is being attacked, they will definitely rush back at all costs. In this case, their fleets will definitely be out of touch with each other.
, this time is the best time to attack them.
Obviously, the Tau did not expect that the main force of the Ada fleet would suddenly maneuver. Before the fleets around the galaxy could react, this strange fleet disappeared in the galaxy almost in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the commander of the main fleet of the Tau did not know anything about this. The naval commander Kor'O'Kshan Navas, who had served for thirty years and was regarded as an old man among the Tau, received the
After the family world encountered an unknown enemy, they immediately made a judgment - the enemy implemented a strategy to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and the previous attack was just to divert their power into a trap.
Realizing that the Ethers might be in danger, he could only leave a small fleet and most of the ground troops behind, and immediately led the main force of the expedition's Guardian fleet back quickly.
