Shepard was already on standby aboard the Normandy. She stood in the command center, looking at the battlefield situation on the holographic star map, feeling extremely anxious.
Now their fleet has been completely surrounded, with warships firing from almost every direction.
Ender Wiggin showed a genius command method. He let the fleet take advantage of its firepower and used the Steadfast-class cruiser as an arrow to continuously advance forward.
The three Infinity-class super aircraft carriers and the God-class Titan battleship all have powerful firepower in all directions. The turrets on the Infinity-class super aircraft carrier are densely packed like hedgehogs, and the scene of firing salvos is spectacular, with countless beams, missiles and explosions.
, is the best proof of endless terrifying firepower.
The Angel-class Titan battleship is relatively low-key. Although the hull is extremely large, the weapon system currently installed on this mushroom-shaped Titan battleship is only eight sets of high-energy laser arrays on the front mushroom head and two sets of high-energy laser arrays on the rear end of the hull.
There are six groups on each side, a total of 20 groups of high-energy laser arrays. And every time this laser weapon fires, the naked eye can only see an undetectable flash of light. However, every flash of light brings
Devastating destructive power. If you use a thermal sensor to observe it, you will find that every time the light flashes, the temperature sensed on the sensor can instantly exceed the upper limit of measurement!
But relatively speaking, although the Steadfast-class cruiser's firepower is also very fierce, it is all based on the super-material electromagnetic gun installed on the front end. This electromagnetic gun is adjusted on the basis of the original MK-IV-94B1E6 heavy MAC cannon.
It uses super-material electromagnetic acceleration technology independently developed by the Principality of Dawn, and its firepower is extremely powerful. However, because it is an axis-based weapon, it can only be aimed by adjusting the direction of the battleship.
In addition, the Stalwart class only has two shooter missile launch bays and five MK-55 coil guns as secondary guns. Relatively speaking, this firepower is much weaker.
Therefore, Ander Wiggin placed the Steadfast class at the front of the formation, and was only responsible for the enemies in front. The surrounding enemy ships were handled by four super battleships. In this formation, Under Wiggin commanded the entire combat formation to always be in high-speed maneuvers.
state.
The Steadfast class is the chisel of this formation, constantly destroying the rotten warships in front, cutting through the encircling formation, and then its own warships rush in this direction.
The battleships in the Rotting Star Ring are all dilapidated. Although they are huge in number, their maneuverability is very poor. The sub-light speed engines of many battleships are not even as fast as the already heavy Archangel-class Titan battleships.
During such maneuvers, rotten warships were constantly being thrown away and left behind, and then these warships had to stagger and stagger to catch up. This kept the number of rotten warships that could surround the Dawn Principality fleet from being too large.
Ender Wiggin directed the attack direction of the Steadfast-class cruiser very accurately. The Steadfast-class cruiser formation was like an arrow and a drive, guiding the direction of the four giant ships behind.
His command was incomparable. Under such constant pulling, a large number of rotten warships were left behind and unable to follow. This made the formation of the entire rotten warships looser and looser. The battlefield area continued to expand, and there were rotten warships everywhere. In order to
Continuing to maintain the encirclement situation, more and more warships were sent from the direction of the Rotting Star Ring, which resulted in fewer and fewer spaceships orbiting the planet.
Shepard clenched his fists, anxious as he watched such a battle.
Finally, Ender Wiggin's communication came, and he was heard saying seriously: "The Normandy is ready! Set off immediately after receiving the order!"
"I'm always ready!" A flash of light flashed from the corner of Shepard's eyes.
At this moment, the Steadfast-class cruiser formation and the Angel-class Titan battleship suddenly concentrated their firepower and fired a salvo ahead! Immediately afterwards, the particle light spears of the three Infinity-class super aircraft carriers, which had been preparing to save energy, finally fired for the first time.
Second launch!
Countless flames and explosions spread in front, and it was impossible to even see clearly what was happening on the battlefield!
At this moment, Ander Wiggin shouted: "It's now! Normandie, set off!! You only have three minutes to break through the enemy ships!!"
"Roger that!" Shepard shouted and pressed the command button at the same time.
After receiving the signal, the pilot Jeff Morrow immediately turned the already preheated engine to maximum, activated the stealth system, and the battleship rushed towards the endless sea of fire in front of the formation at extremely fast speeds!
The high temperature of the explosion and countless debris continued to wash away the Normandy's shields, which also temporarily destroyed the Normandy's stealth state. Some rotting warships immediately turned around and flew towards the Normandy.
Ender Wiggin immediately ordered that eight high-energy laser arrays in front of the Archangel-class Titan battleship concentrate their firepower to escort the Normandy.
High-energy lasers flashed continuously, and the rotten battleships were destroyed one by one. Seizing this only opportunity, Jeff Morrow drove the battleship directly to break through the siege through the gap just made!
At this moment, almost all the rotten battleships were paying attention to the formation of super battleships. The Normandy continued to activate the cloaking device and flew silently towards the planet Mugg-Faro.
Ender Wiggin said in the communication very solemnly: "Shepard, your mission is to go to the planet Mugg-Faro and locate the exact location of Mongar-Menggar's core consciousness through the sub-consciousness body!
Then I can launch a strike and send the Soul Harp over!"
"Understood!" Shepard replied.
The sub-consciousness body can only point to an approximate location. If it is in the universe, it will always point to the planet Muge-Farlo. Therefore, to determine the location of the core consciousness, you must enter the interior of the planet.
At the same time, Ender Wiking's side, because the Doomsday weapon of the Archangel-class Titan battleship can only be used once, so he can only rely on this one shot to do two things at the same time - send the Soul Harp to the planet, and use
The particle light spear launches an orbital strike against the core consciousness.
This is an interlocking battle, and no mistakes can be made in any link.
Shepard knew very well that if he couldn't accurately locate the position, Ender Wiking would have no choice but to continue to be consumed in the space battlefield. As the energy continued to decrease, his chances of breaking through the siege and sending the Soul Harp to the planet were getting closer and closer.
The smaller.
The Normandy remained invisible as it approached the planet Moog-Fallo, and finally entered the atmosphere.
The fierce air friction caused a burst of fire in the clouds around the Normandy, which became a very obvious target. Immediately, battleships turned down from the rotten star ring and chased the Normandy.
However, there are not many rotten warships on the rotten star ring at this moment. Most of them have set out to encircle Ander Wiggin's fleet, and the Normandy has also chosen the most empty place, which is beyond the reach of those slow rotten warships.
.
Breaking through the atmosphere, the Normandy became invisible again.
Naturally, those backward and decaying battleships were unable to detect the Normandy. Having lost their target, they could only wander around aimlessly.
Shirley Birkin is also on the Normandy at the moment. She and her research team continue to stimulate that sub-consciousness and find the location of the core consciousness through the resonance between Mongar-Mongal consciousness.
Shepard looked at the world outside through the porthole.
The planet Moog-Farlow, as mentioned before, is really like the deepest part of hell.
The air is always foggy. According to sampling analysis, the density of Mongal-Mongal particles in the air has reached an astonishing level. It can even be said that when you come to this planet and take a breath, your lungs will be immediately filled with
Mongal - Mongal infection.
And the entire planet, whether it is plains or hills, is covered with brown silt almost everywhere. The countless silt here has almost become a brown ocean covering the entire planet! No wonder the planet is brown when viewed from outer space! Except for some
Beyond the too-high peaks, almost every inch of the planet is Mongal-Mongal!
At this moment, a siren suddenly sounded.
Jeff Morrow exclaimed: "We're locked in!!"
"What? Those shabby warships can hide?" Huang Yehao was shocked.
Shepard looked solemn, "No, it should be based on the Mongal-Mongal particles in the air to locate our location."
"This is trouble." Huang Yehao's face darkened.
Sure enough, only hundreds of battleships were seen entering the atmosphere and rushing straight towards the Normandy!
…
At the same time, the situation in the space battlefield also began to get worse.
Although under the command of Ender Wiggin, the expedition fleet has destroyed more than 20,000 battleships, this is only a quarter of the number of rotten star ring battleships.
But the price they paid was that the battleship's ammunition and energy had dropped to a dangerous level! If this continues, sooner or later they will run out of ammunition and food!
Three-quarters of the stock of missiles have been launched. Although the factories on several super battleships are operating at full capacity, they are still far behind the rate of consumption.
As for energy weapons, due to continuous use, the capacitor has overheated, and each launch requires longer and longer cooling and recycling times. Some capacitor chambers even started to catch fire because they did not dissipate heat in time.
The reduction in the firing rate allows more rotten warships to rush up. It was impossible for these warships to get close to the expedition fleet, but now, several warships have tried to rush over directly and collide! As time goes by, this situation will
There will be more and more!
The Steadfast-class cruiser is even more overwhelmed. The missile stock has long been exhausted, and the super-matter electromagnetic gun in front has also begun to be overwhelmed. There are even several Steadfast-class cruisers whose super-matter electromagnetic cannons directly exploded!
As for the fighter formation, although Ender Wiggin's targeted tactical arrangement allowed the formation to launch attacks from the periphery of the battlefield, which gave these fighters enough fighting space. However, the energy reserves and ammunition reserves of the fighters were even smaller and had already been exhausted. After returning,
While the mothership was undergoing maintenance and replenishment, it was attacked by rotten warships and lost more than a quarter of its fighter jets!
Twelve Steadfast-class cruisers have been destroyed in the battle, which has reduced the forward firepower of the fleet formation by about half. In order to allow the fleet to maintain breakthrough and maneuver, Ender Wiking had to move the Archangel-class Titan battleship towards the front of the array.
Move and use the eight sets of high-energy laser arrays at the mushroom head position of the angel-level to open a path ahead.
However, this also makes the formation more weakened by the surrounding firepower, and the encirclement has become smaller and smaller! But the rotten battleships are still endless!
The expedition fleet has flown around the planet Mugg-Faror three times, destroying countless rotting warships in its path, leaving behind countless fragments and wreckage. These fragments and wreckage are floating around the outside of the planet, forming three more
Very loose fragmented star ring!
Ender Wiggin stared at the holographic battle star map, and he was already covered in cold sweat. The assistant beside him had fed him three times of high-energy nutrient solution, and even gave him a burst of adrenaline to keep him going.
command.
This battle is not only extremely stressful, but it has already been fought for 6 hours!
Ender Wiggin is also waiting. The Doomsday Weapon of the Archangel-class Titan Battleship has already been charged. Now he is waiting for Shepard's signal to launch the Doomsday Weapon immediately!
…
On the surface of the planet, hundreds of warships fired continuously downwards.
These battleships are very smart under the control of Mongar Mongar. Although they cannot observe the Normandy, they can use close-defense weapons to wildly sweep a large area. As long as a bullet hits the Normandy, the Normandy can be destroyed.
There was a momentary flaw!
Jeff Morrow drove the battleship up and down, almost treating the 176-meter-long frigate as a fighter jet.
The Normandy drew several complex curves in the air, dodging most of the attacks. At the same time, it fired continuously and shot down several rotten battleships.
"Joker! Fly along the equator of the planet! This is the projection of the rotten star ring. Mongar Mongar must have hidden his core consciousness under the protection of the rotten star ring!" Shepard said loudly to Jeff Morrow.
"I said, I can only try my best!" Jeff Morrow roared loudly. He had already tried his best to fly the spacecraft and had no time to care about it.
"Shirley!!" Shepard turned around and yelled.
"Still positioning! It still takes time! After entering the planet, the state of the sub-conscious body is very unstable!" Shirley Birkin was also extremely nervous. She and the research team continued to operate the equipment to read the brain of the sub-conscious body.
Wave energy.
"Neither we nor Ender Wiggin can handle it anymore!" Shepard said solemnly.
…
At this time, the sea-like silt on the planet Moog-Faror suddenly moved, and then condensed into an extremely huge face on a plain that was almost as big as the Blue Star Pacific Ocean!
This face is 70-80% similar to humans. It looked at the desperate struggling expedition fleet and said mockingly: [Ah... ignorant humans, weak humans. I like these battleships you sent...
After killing you, I will place these battleships in the most conspicuous position on the planet.】
Inside the planet Mugg-Faror, its sound was as deafening as thunder, and in space, this sound was also sent to the Titan battleship Archangel along with the public communications of countless rotten battleships.
[You have lost your last hope...Failure and death are your final destination. And I...will enjoy these new toys...]
But no one paid attention to it.
At this moment, Shirley Birkin suddenly shouted, "Found it! I found it!!!"
