"Shrink the front line, maintain fire channels between ships, cover each other's firing range, and don't let the enemy easily get embedded."
Soshyan's new tactical order was issued, and the large ships began to shrink inward. The small ships reorganized their formations to fill the gaps between the capital ships. The reinforced fighter force came from the hangars of the Emperor-class battleships and Rogon-class aircraft carriers.
Strutting out like locusts, the Emperor's own cannons were also spitting out firepower, and the main guns of the cruisers and battleships were firing like crazy, with a rate of fire that was enough to burn the energy compressor to white-hot.
"All battleships move closer to our own ship. Pay attention to the enemy bomber in the 35-degree direction on the left. This thing is a great threat. In addition, all battleships at coordinates 5-1 to 11-10 shoot at the enemy fleet on the port side to prevent the enemy from detouring.
Attack from the flank."
At this time, the Necron warships also noticed the changes in the formation of the human side, and immediately responded by dividing into two parts. Most of the small ships continued to massacre the small human ships to prevent them from regrouping, while three ships harvested them.
A triangular impact formation composed of the battleship and eight Shroud-class light cruisers headed straight for Soshyan's main battleship line. This mainly consisted of the battle barges Heart of Light, Inscription, Gothic-class cruiser Longbow,
Composed of 5 battleships including the Tyrant-class cruiser Greatsword and Executor and 8 light cruisers from Ulan Huda and Ekvoria, it is also the main bombardment line, and the third line of support is located slightly further away.
It is composed of Ekvolia's flagship Emperor-class battleship Infinite Force and the Logon-class light aircraft carrier Cobalt Blue Stone, as well as 12 small accompanying escort ships that are not good at close-range firefights - including Viper.
Snake-class destroyer Granite.
"These arrogant bastards must have sent most of the Night Scythe fighters to the ground, and the aviation formation immediately attacked to interfere with them, mainly to contain the alien bombers."
After receiving Soshyan's order, the already prepared fighter formation immediately rushed towards the enemy.
Green lightning flashed across one after another, and Starhawks and Fury fighters disappeared into the void one after another. However, they continued to attack one after another, which indeed interfered with part of the firepower and formation of the Necron fleet, and also forced the very small Night Shroud formation to
You have to contend with them first.
"Concentrate your firepower and hit the enemy cruiser first!"
Under Soshiyan's command, the capital ships began to fire, and at the same time the Heart of Light's spine also ejected blazing beams. As a former Scourge-class battleship, its multiple light spear turrets demonstrated unparalleled attacks.
force.
A harvester ship directly collided with the fierce firepower of the Heart of Light. The dazzling laser directly broke a huge metal fin on its right side, and also filled the ship's armor with sparks and tiny explosions caused by the impact.
.
In response, a vague beam of energy exploded at the bow of the Heart of Light, and violent vibrations could be felt on the bridge.
Through the observation window, Soshyan saw that the space in front was flooded with dazzling green light. The void shield on the bow of the ship absorbed the shelling fired one after another from the enemy ship. A continuous impact was felt throughout the ancient warship.
Ripples rippled on the hull. If the Heart of Light hadn't gained unparalleled power through rounds of improvements, it might have been unable to withstand it this time.
"The shield is going to fail!"
Just as the priest in charge of energy monitoring finished speaking, an explosion not far away was displayed on the rear view window screen.
It was the flash of a Shroud-class light cruiser exploding. As a result, the main engine deck of the Gothic-class cruiser Longbow fell into a sea of flames visible to the naked eye. The battleship rolled wildly in the void, followed by three Shroud-class light cruisers.
The ship flew out from the wreckage of similar destruction, bombarding the Longbow from bow to stern, blowing up all the lance turrets, and when it broke into two parts due to an implosion, the bodies of the crew and countless fragments
Draw a distinct trail in the void.
The Shroud-class light cruiser is a type of warship that humans have no record of at all. The information on this thing came entirely from Ada provided to Soshiyan, and Ada named it Shroud——
At this time, the old Emperor-class also joined the second-line battle. Its appearance attracted the attention of the Necrons like a magnet and created an opportunity for Soshyan.
"Prepare the starboard battery."
Soshyan flipped the communicator switch on the densely packed operation interface of the command seat.
"Aim at the target, confirm it and fire."
The Light began to turn, aiming its broadside fire at the harvester ship, which had become somewhat unstable due to the loss of part of its hull. Then, intensive artillery fire hit the alien ship, which was already riddled with holes, again and again.
In the blink of an eye, the harvester ship was rolled over by the fierce bombardment, exploding into hundreds of swirling fragments.
But even so, it still refused to die, and lightning struck the Heart of Light's armor. If it wanted to run away, it might still have a chance, but a certain alien sense of honor forced it to keep fighting with the huge beast.
The Heart of Light shook violently, and various warnings and reports flowed on the screen like a waterfall.
"The port aft stabilizer was hit!"
"The port aether rotor was hit!"
"Remote scanning array No. 1 was hit!"
"No. 1 and No. 3 communication array was hit!"
"The port sublight engine room was hit! We lost 17% of our power!"
Soshyan's face dropped, but he cheered up immediately.
"All void shields stopped, all power was transferred to multiple laser arrays, weapon against weapon, we are stronger than them."
With a desperate attack, the Heart of Light was like an erupting volcano. The short-term energy overload caused it to explode with firepower far exceeding that of a battleship. In an instant, the harvester exploded spectacularly in the dazzling light, and the hull of the ship exploded spectacularly.
The wreckage was then struck by smaller fragments.
The crew on the bridge finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to congratulate each other and celebrate their escape from death. Only the servitors were still staring blankly at their logic engines and instruments.
"There is an enemy ship, right ahead!"
The Tech-Priest suddenly screamed, and the attention of the officers and slaves returned to their equipment and consoles.
"Concentrate all energy on the bow barrier."
The three shroud light cruisers that had solved the problem of the Longbow came straight towards the Heart of Light. A large arc began to spread, and an energy storm swept from the bow to the stern of the ship. Then the void shield that had just been propped up could no longer support it.
There is a faint flash and then disappears.
Just when they were about to fire again, 72 high-speed missiles stabbed from a distance like thrown daggers. The Necron warships who had seen the power of such missiles immediately spread out to avoid them. As a result, most of the missiles could not catch up with them at all.
, only a few shots hit the target, causing no substantial damage, but it also allowed the Heart of Light to breathe.
