There was silence in the command module of the Gray Fish, and all the star thieves were stunned.
The SPB17 Phoenix that suddenly broke through the door was undoubtedly a great shock to them. Even the bravest pirate leader would feel uncontrollable fear when faced with such a nearly ten-meter-tall combat mech at close range.
Especially the mecha controlled by Wang Chen fought all the way through, full of murderous intent and power!
"Stop the engines, lock the weapon systems, kneel down and surrender!"
Wang Chen said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, shoot without mercy!"
The mission he received was to capture the Star Thief battleship and keep as many alive as possible for interrogation.
Therefore, as long as the enemy does not resist, Wang Chen has no intention of going on a killing spree.
And his voice was amplified by the mecha and echoed in the huge command cabin, shocking the eardrums of every star thief.
Snap!
Some star thieves couldn't bear the pressure and knelt on the floor with their heads in their hands.
But there were also a few star thieves whose eyes flickered and they quietly retreated.
Tsk tsk tsk!
The 70mm-caliber close-range laser cannons mounted on the Phoenix's shoulders fired simultaneously, instantly killing four star thieves with obviously evil intentions.
Although the close-range defense laser cannon equipped on the mecha has a short range, it charges very quickly and can be fired multiple times in a row, making it very suitable for land combat and melee combat modes.
How could these star thieves, who only wore exoskeletons, withstand such a blow? They were killed on the spot.
Their tragic deaths also shocked the other star thieves, and they immediately knelt down with trembling legs.
The Gray Fish's main engine was immediately shut down, and the ship's weapon system was also locked. The main guns, secondary guns, and close-in defense guns all misfired. Even the released combat mechas were remotely controlled to lose power and became
A living target floating in space.
At this moment, more and more imperial mechas broke into the light frigate and quickly occupied various key areas.
The fate of the Gray Fish was much luckier than that of the other two Star Pirates warships. The latter was bombarded by the main and secondary guns of the Jiangyuan and Jiangyang in turns, and its shields were blasted, and then sunk on the spot.
!
The combat effectiveness of the empire's new high-speed destroyers cannot be competed by the modified star pirate ships. When the rescue force of the seventh anti-ship fleet arrives in this airspace, the outcome is already doomed.
But the battle isn't quite over yet.
When the special forces sent by the destroyer Jiangyuan entered the Gray Fish, the Phoenix commanded by Wang Chen withdrew from the enemy ship.
Originally, according to the procedure, after completing the mission, he had to withdraw to the mothership, the destroyer Jiangyuan, but as soon as he exited, he received a high-sequence communication connection.
"Sergeant Wang Chen, I am Colonel Lin Qiangdong, the captain of the destroyer Jiangyuan."
A serious-looking middle-aged school officer was projected on the holographic screen built into the mecha, and said with piercing eyes: "There is a new task that may require you to complete..."
Although the main force of the star pirates who attacked the merchant ship had been completely destroyed, two of the three warships were sunk and one was captured. The result of the battle was excellent.
However, there is still a group of star thieves remaining on the Changtai. They hijacked part of the crew and took control of this large merchant ship, demanding negotiations as a condition!
But the empire never compromises with bandits, so the destroyer Jiangyang has dispatched a special team to prepare to attack the Changtai merchant ship, eliminate the star thieves and save the hostages.
Colonel Lin Qiangdong hoped that Wang Chen could also participate in this operation to support the special operations team and save the lives of merchant ship crews as much as possible.
Due to the special structure of the merchant ship and the need to protect the ship and cargo, Wang Chen could only break away from the mecha and carry out operations. He could not break into the ship with the SPB17 Phoenix as before.
Considering the danger of this mission, the captain of the destroyer Jiangyuan gave him the right to refuse.
In fact, there was a lot of controversy among the command and staff officers of the Jiangyuan on whether to send Wang Chen to participate in the rescue operation.
Because Wang Chen is very young, it is his first time to participate in an actual combat mission today, and he lacks much experience.
But on the other hand, he is a rare A-level warrior.
If such high-end combat power can join the action, the success rate will undoubtedly be greatly improved!
After understanding the situation, Wang Chen replied without hesitation: "I accept this task!"
"very good!"
Colonel Lin Qiangdong's eyes showed a hint of appreciation.
The destroyer Jiangyuan immediately came closer and quickly recovered the SPB17 Phoenix.
As soon as Wang Chen returned to the cabin, he immediately opened the front armor, jumped out and landed on the deck below.
Four or five logistics personnel who were already waiting there mounted the H79 soldier armor on him as quickly as possible.
The H79 warrior is the standard land combat external armor of the Imperial Army. It has excellent defense and mobility. Although it is not as good as the lightest mecha, it can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the sergeant.
However, this new type of armor can only be controlled by mid- to high-level warriors, and the armor used by ordinary soldiers is much inferior in all aspects.
In addition, the H79 warrior has short-term space survivability and is very suitable for boarding operations.
When Wang Chen put on a full set of armor and weapons, he immediately boarded a small assault boat and was launched.
Just two minutes later, Wang Chen, who was sitting alone in the assault boat, felt his whole body shaken. The small boat apparently hit something, and the front end suddenly exploded.
The dark space inside was revealed!
Wang Chen suddenly jumped up and rushed into the heart-stopping darkness ahead.
At the same time, the structure diagram of the Changtai was projected on Wang Chen's retina, and his current location was marked.
Guided by the scanning information from the destroyer Jiangyuan, Wang Chen quickly found the passage to the upper level of the merchant ship.
However, the Changtai was huge, and the Jiangyuan was unable to provide the specific location of the Star Thief, so after entering the merchant ship, Wang Chen could only rely on himself to complete the mission.
But Wang Chen could also see the location of his comrades, that is, the members of the special force who had sneaked into the merchant ship before him.
Just as Wang Chen was trying to contact them, a striking message suddenly popped up in his field of vision: "Attention, attention, the communication system is subject to strong interference and the data link is interrupted!"
Not to mention contacting his comrades, communication with the destroyer Jiangyuan was also cut off.
Not only that, but the detection system of the H79 Warrior Armor also had problems.
There is no doubt that this must be the work of the star pirates who took over the merchant ship!
Although this situation was not expected, Wang Chen did not feel panic or nervous at all.
He unfolded his psychic powers.
Unlike the electronic equipment of the armor, Wang Chen's psychic energy is not affected by any external interference at all, and passes through the layers of cabins and expands in all directions!
