Five imperial standard fleets, totaling 5,000 imperial main battleships.
Suddenly appeared in the battlefield, surrounding these one hundred broken warships from five different directions.
"Commander, the encirclement has been completed. After this time, you should be promoted to first-class fleet commander, right?"
Seeing this scene, Adjutant Slater, who was standing next to Kyle, said with a smile.
In his opinion, it is impossible for these Scorpion Star Pirates' warships to escape.
I had just made a jump and was surrounded by five thousand warships. How could I still escape...
But Kyle's expression remained serious.
"Starla, do you know why I have been promoted so quickly in the past ten years?"
"Of course, because the commander-in-chief has repeatedly made military exploits and has never had a mission failure record in the past ten years."
"What you are talking about is only the result, not the cause!"
Starla was a little stunned when she said this.
Isn’t it precisely for this reason that promotions are quick?
Why does one's own commander-in-chief say that this is not the cause but the result?
"Ten years ago, during the years of dealing with Jiang Xingchen, I learned a truth."
"That is... until the last moment, no one knows what will happen, and once you relax, there is a high chance that you will be overturned in the end!"
"Over the years, I have firmly kept this truth in mind. No matter how weak the opponent is, even if victory is in sight, I will not relax and always be prepared with more back-ups to deal with any possible situation."
“This is how we achieved an undefeated record for the next ten years!”
"That's why I said that the five hundred records in ten years are just the result, and what I learned ten years ago is the reason. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Slater was suddenly shocked.
It turns out that this is the case. No wonder my commander's command style has changed drastically in the past ten years and has become much more rigorous.
"I understand, Commander!"
"Very good, order the fleet to start attacking immediately. The battle must be completed before the opponent's jump engine can be used again!"
"Yes, Commander!"
------
At the same time.
In the fleet of the Scorpion Pirates.
"Liu Tao, are you the two thousand battleships you speculated on?"
He turned to look at someone, and then Mu Qianshan said angrily.
At this time, Liu Tao himself was confused.
"It shouldn't be. We only have a hundred battleships. No matter how high you think of us, you won't use 5,000 main battleships to encircle and suppress us, right?"
"It's impossible...the facts are all on your face!"
"Ah this..."
"Forget it, that's fine. After all, our original mission was to attract more than 80% of the empire's main fleet. This time we have five thousand ships, so the subsequent missions should be easier."
After pinching his chin, Mu Qianshan said pointedly.
"Commodore, the enemy is narrowing the encirclement. According to the data of the Kaili Empire's main battleship, it is expected to launch an attack on us in 78 seconds."
"Release the unmanned impact ship and carve a passage through the enemy's encirclement."
"Yes, Brigadier!"
Soon, one hundred unmanned impact ships were released one by one by Zhurong-class battleships.
Naturally, Kyle also saw this scene.
But he didn't understand what these released small warships were used for.
According to the scan results, it can be confirmed that these warships do not even have weapon systems.
Is it an escape ship equipped with a jump engine?
So, are these Scorpion Star pirates planning to abandon these battleships and use these escape ships to jump away?
The more I think about this, the more this seems to be the case.
But soon, his subordinates reported that the existence of jump engines could not be detected on these small battleships of the other party.
At this point, Kyle was a little confused.
And at the next moment, a hundred unmanned impact ships began to accelerate, heading towards a certain point on the encirclement.
Just like a heroic death squad.
Go forward, go forward, go forward again.
Everything is so weird, no one can figure out what this poisonous scorpion star bandit group means.
"Order the fleet to open fire immediately and destroy the approaching small warships!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Although he couldn't understand it, Kyle decided to destroy these battleships.
To prevent situations beyond your control from happening later.
However...
A few seconds later...
"Report, the first wave of attacks is completed, the hit rate is 1.7%, and the enemy ship failed to be destroyed!"'
"What's going on? How can the hit rate be only 1.7%?"
"Commander, the enemy ship is too fast and continues to accelerate. Except for frontal attacks, the hit rate of attacks from other angles is 0%. At the same time, a one-way energy shield is deployed in front of the enemy ship. The firepower that hits,
It failed to break through this shield."
"Wait, speed up...what's the opponent's speed now?"
"Report, the speed has exceeded 10,000 kilometers per second."
"What?"
When he heard this number, Kyle was completely stunned.
How is this possible at a speed of more than 10,000 kilometers per second?
"Concentrate your firepower, cover it with barrage, and destroy these battleships!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Although he didn't know what these battleships were for, Kyle already had some bad premonitions in his heart.
If these battleships were not destroyed, he might have failed for the first time in ten years.
Although he couldn't explain the reason, he felt this way at this moment.
The next moment, about 1,000 warships with sufficient shooting angles and sufficient shooting range opened fire again!
But in the end, it still failed.
Except for some hits from the front, all attacks with some angles were missed.
It is true that the opponent's speed is too fast, and the acceleration is getting faster and faster.
Although the attack just now was carried out by thousands of warships, it directly covered an area of tens of thousands of kilometers.
But the problem is that those impact ships have accelerated to one-tenth of the speed of light, which is 30,000 kilometers per second.
As soon as you attack, they throw out the coverage area.
Can this not be missed?
And this speed of 30,000 kilometers per second is still not the limit of the impact ship, and the acceleration is still continuing.
You know, when Jiang Xingchen destroyed Cordero with his impact ship, it directly accelerated to 0.99 times the speed of light.
Where are we now?
"Report, the speed of the opponent's small warship has exceeded 0.3 times the speed of light and is still accelerating."
"Impossible, this is simply impossible. At this speed, they should have fallen into the time dilation effect!"
At this time, there was no time for Kyle to think more.
Because, at the next moment, hundreds of impact ships had crashed into a fleet array on the encirclement.
Essentially, you can think of these impact ships as railgun projectiles.
It's just that the volume and mass of this projectile are just a few hundred million points larger.
Yes, it's just a few hundred million points bigger...
