Xuewei III entered the ancient ruins but has not yet come out, and because of the special nature of the ancient ruins, he was unable to contact him.
Therefore, facing the attacks from the two major camps, Lao Qian can only personally direct it.
Michael Blake looked at the projection of a military fortress hundreds of thousands of kilometers away and couldn't help but touch his already thinning hair.
"Dreadnought Mixed Fleet?"
"It's not easy to handle!"
Outside this military fortress, huge warships were moored quietly.
These dreadnoughts were surrounded by dozens of battleships and other special ships.
What Michael Black brought this time was only the forward, three Exorcist-class heavy assault cruiser fleets, and the Dreadnought Fleet was still on its way behind.
So looking at this fearless mixed fleet of the Betares Federation, I suddenly felt a little bit tricky.
"Commander-in-Chief, do you want me to explore the opponent's true identity first?"
A fleet commander took the initiative to step forward and ask for a fight.
Although this dreadnought mixed fleet is powerful, due to the battle module of the dreadnought, its maneuverability on the battlefield is not strong.
So even if you can't defeat it, you can still escape quickly, as long as you don't go deep into the range of the dreadnought.
"Okay, just take your fleet to swim outside the range of the dreadnought, but don't go deep!"
Michael Black immediately ordered.
After all, it is not a problem to delay it like this. If Frederick McGee breaks through the defense line first and gets the ancient ruins, it will be a big deal.
"yes!"
Subsequently, an exorcist-class main fleet slowly approached the Betares military fortress in a tactical formation.
Seeing the fleet of Justice and Order like this, Lao Qian couldn't help but shake his head.
"It's been so many years, but this little guy is still like this, with no progress at all."
Michael Blake was also highly anticipated by the old money and was also his favorite student. At the Imperial University, he and Frederick McGee were known as "double wall".
Compared to Frederick McGee's decisive and aggressive style, Michael Blake's style of play is more steady.
And this kind of stability also makes Michael Blake's grasp of the battlefield situation very terrifying.
but!
Although prudent rarely makes mistakes, it also means that once the opponent seizes the opportunity, the price will be even heavier.
Therefore, in the battle between Michael Blake and Frederic McGee, the two commanded in two styles, but most of them could only draw a draw.
Although the commanding styles are different, they are all taught by the same master, so there is no way they can break the rules!
Lao Qian stood in the combat command room, looking at the approaching enemy with the same smile on his face.
But the order was issued in an orderly manner:
"Order the First Mixed Fleet to remain stationary, not to take the initiative to attack, and wait for the enemy fleet to enter the attack range of 10,000 kilometers."
During this period of battle between the justice order and the freedom camp, Lao Qian has figured out the basic data of the main battleships of the two camps.
The laser cannons equipped by the Freedom camp's Demon-class heavy assault cruisers are more powerful, but also decay quickly. The optimal attack range is two thousand to three thousand kilometers, and the longest range is five thousand kilometers.
The Exorcist level of the Order of Justice has a longer range, but is weaker, with an optimal range of 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers and a maximum attack range of 10,000 kilometers.
The Hells Angel-class battleships currently fully commissioned by the Betares Federation are equipped with super pulse laser cannons that can change the attack distance by replacing the radio frequency crystal.
As long as the crystals are flexibly replaced, the range will not be inferior to that of the exorcist class, and the melee power will not be weaker than that of the war demon class.
What's more important is that the heavy defense brought by the Hell's Angel-class battleship hull is not comparable to that of a cruiser!
Regardless of long-range attacks or melee combat, the Hell's Angels are fearless.
The Exorcist-class heavy assault cruiser fleet soon arrived 100,000 kilometers away from the Betares military fortress.
Any closer distance would be the attack range of this iron wall-level military fortress.
But the Betales Federation fleet just looked at them quietly, motionless.
Michael Black was not surprised by this, nor did he think of provoking the Betales Federation fleet to leave the defense range of the military fortress.
Because he knew that it was impossible for an old man like him to make such a stupid mistake. When his family was kidnapped by pirates, he just wanted to let them go.
Even with the approval of Xuewei III, Lao Qian still took it upon himself to take back the Betales Star and prevent thousands of battleship pilots and hundreds of thousands of ground troops from sacrificing in vain.
A family's spaceship crashed.
And that was also the second time the flower of the empire shed tears after the empire collapsed...
So for this person, provocation and temptation are ridiculous little tricks, and normal temptation is better.
"The fleet is divided into groups and operates separately to conduct fire reconnaissance. Don't be reluctant to fight!"
Except for the Hells Angel class, which has relevant data on these battleships of the Betares Federation, this dreadnought Michael Black has not seen.
Therefore, we still need to conduct fire reconnaissance to test the dreadnought, otherwise we will suffer big losses later if we are caught off guard.
The fleet of Justice Order is getting closer and closer, Lao Qian's smile is getting brighter and brighter, and there is a little bit of coldness in his eyes.
Ninety thousand kilometers away, the military fortress began to use defensive weapons to attack, and the fleet began to suffer losses, but they were not serious.
Fifty thousand kilometers later, the engines of the Bertales fleet slowly started, and the bows of the ships began to face.
Thirty thousand kilometers away, the Apocalypse-class dreadnought began to use the fire control system to lock onto the target, and the muzzle was drawn without firing.
At 20,000 kilometers, the Exorcist-class fleet began to slow down and circle.
Because this distance is already very dangerous for them. If it is any closer, they will not be able to carry out effective tactical maneuvers in the face of the attack of the dreadnought unless they continue to get closer.
"Keep moving forward and attack directly after entering the attack range!"
Michael Blake gave the order expressionlessly.
Then the exorcist-class fleet gritted its teeth and started its thrusters. The speed of the fleet suddenly surged, and it soon entered a range of 10,000 kilometers. Then it took the lead in launching an attack by virtue of the exorcist-class's range advantage.
Looking at the attacking fleet of Justice and Order, Lao Qian smiled faintly.
"Order, close the net!"
Subsequently, dozens of various types of light and heavy interceptor ships of the Betares Federation jumped out from the stealth state in subspace.
After sharing the positioning of the command ship's combat probe, it rushed directly into the fleet of the Order of Justice, and each jump interference force field and deceleration force field enveloped its fleet.
Then a group of only thirty Xiujin-class ships quickly found their target, and several stagnant beams were instantly attached to them. Then the Hells Angel-class battleships and the Apocalypse-class dreadnoughts began to attack.
As soon as the Justice Order battleship was slowed down, an Apocalypse-class dreadnought would immediately open fire on it, and every attack could defeat an Exorcist-class ship to the point where assault damage control had to be activated to save its life.
Then it turned into fireworks instantly after the assault damage control effect ended.
The corners of Michael Blake's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly as he looked at it.
"Flagship gun..."
emmm, I'm sorry to say anything, I'll kneel down first to respect you.
