Since the fleets of the protoss and the swarm successfully merged at the outskirts of the star system where the Sapphire Planet is located, three rotation periods have passed on the Sapphire Planet.
During this period, the two fleets have been sending intelligence troops to collect intelligence on the planet.
Based on what they have learned so far, the protoss fleet captured by the Sapphire Stars should be used by those guys as the planet's permanent patrol fleet.
However, because the Sapphire Planet has no satellites, the protoss and insect swarm reconnaissance forces were unable to get too close to observe the patrol fleet.
All they know now is that the combat effectiveness of this small fleet should have completely returned to normal levels, and those who control them are definitely the natives of the Sapphire Planet.
At the end of the investigation work, they could no longer obtain more detailed information, so Protoss Executive Officer Harens decided after discussing with Stukov, Commander of the First Fleet of the Zerg, that this time they would be codenamed "Fisherman"
The joint combat operation of "Plan" is officially launched!
The Protoss fleet set sail at full speed, led by eight newly delivered Glory battleships, leading a huge fleet to launch a powerful attack on the Sapphire Star from the front.
According to Harlans's estimation, the murloc natives on the Sapphire Planet are not very advanced in detection technology, but the protoss ships captured by them have psychic abilities with considerable accuracy and wide detection range.
Matrix detector.
So they will definitely notice the protoss fleet's third comeback soon, and then focus all their attention on the protoss fleet.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the first fleet of the swarm could detour from the shadow of another nearby planet. They had waited for so long mainly because they were waiting for the two planets to orbit in an intersecting position.
The First Fleet can use the asteroid belt on the edge of the galaxy to quietly sneak into the back of the planet in a silent cruise, and then use the planet as a cover to approach the battlefield from the flank, just as the plan says, giving those fish
An unexpected attack from two sides!
Before the First Fleet came around from the side, the protoss fleet led by Harens was mainly responsible for holding back the entire main force of the murloc fleet and the small captured fleet from the front. The length of time they could hold out determined the swarm.
What are the chances of landing a perfect left hook?
Of course, this is the most standard "fisherman's plan". If any variables arise in the plan, the two outstanding commanders should know how to resolve them.
...
The huge protoss fleet rushed towards the Sapphire Fleet from the front. Of course, such a big movement could not be concealed by the psychic matrix detectors on the protoss warships controlled by the fishmen.
The captured fleet that was patrolling immediately changed its direction. All the ships in the fleet spread out in a vertical circular plane, and all weapon systems were aimed at the incoming protoss fleet!
At the same time, under the vast sea surface of the Sapphire Planet, colorful streams of light also began to light up. As a large number of bubbles burst out from the bottom of the sea, tens of thousands of murloc warships like giant colorful reefs surrounded several people.
Tens of millions of tons of seawater slowly rise from the bottom of the sea.
They formed three huge formations, connecting the surrounding seawater together, and then quickly broke away from the planet's gravity and broke through the atmosphere.
As soon as these colorful reef battleships entered the outer orbit of the planet, they were like hens guarding their chicks, protecting the small protoss fleet controlled by them.
Obviously, these guys have realized the powerful advantage of the protoss warships in long-range firepower, and they are ready to use the defensive advantages of their own warships and the long-range firepower advantages of the captured fleet to compensate for each other to maximize combat effectiveness.
Commander Harens of the Protoss Fleet stood on the bridge of his flagship, squinting at the enemies in the distance who were ready to attack them. He calmly issued orders to the fleet, and the entire fleet also followed him.
Quickly change arrays on command.
Obviously, Harlans has already been mentally prepared for all the tactics that the opponent may use. Facing such a experienced Protoss veteran, those who relied on their own technology to restrain Protoss technology successfully won the victory.
The fishmen from the first two battles were obviously still too young.
Harlans was not in a hurry to launch an attack. He knew very well that the current firepower of the protoss fleet was not enough to penetrate the defense line laid out by the reef battleships covered in seawater.
He mobilized all the Glory battleships to the front row of the fleet, and ordered them to move the hull horizontally, and then all entered the "positive and negative" defense mode.
All the Glory battleships immediately carried out the order, and eight huge dumbbell-like golden battleships soon stood between the protoss fleet and the murloc fleet.
At this moment, the distance between the two fleets happened to be the farthest distance where the firepower of the Protoss warships can exert its power. When the last Glory battleship was in position, Harlans did not hesitate to give the order for everyone to open fire.
Order!
The first wave of anger unleashed on the Murloc fleet was the Storm Battleship in the Protoss Fleet. Countless high-energy particle balls shining with white light dragged long particle comet tails and hit the shield composed of a large amount of seawater surrounding the reef battleship.
, bursts of intense white light flashed alternately on the seawater shield.
However, just like the previous two battles, the energy weapons of the protoss are very limited in the face of these seawater shields. The seawater bound near the reef battleship seems to be able to scatter energy and deflect the incoming beams or non-material
The power of the weapon is absorbed.
However, Harlans, who had already expected this, didn't care. He just ordered the fleet to drop anchor and stop moving forward. From this distance, he used long-range weapons to launch a ferocious and indiscriminate bombing of the murloc fleet, although it had no effect.
Also participating in the firing were the Void Glow ship in the Protoss fleet, the two fleets of Storm warships, the aircraft carrier, the Phoenix fighter jets, and the other two types of fighter jets. They hid behind the wall of Glory warships and stood still.
Being held down and bombarded by the protoss fleet with its range advantage, the murloc fleet quickly became unable to sit still. Although the protoss' beam weapons could not cause any harm to them, the problem was that they were held down and hit without fighting back.
This is not their style!
So the murloc fleet began to fight back. The protoss fleet controlled by the murlocs in the center, protected by the reef battleships, began to fire back. Prism beams and dazzling high-energy particle balls passed through the reef battleships.
The water shield specially left a fire channel for them, blasting straight towards the protoss fleet.
Facing the enemy's counterattack, Protoss Fleet Commander Harens calmly waved his hand, and the eight Glory battleships in the front row immediately increased the operating power of their particle generators, and the particles from the light plates were fired one after another on their ships.
A white cocoon-like shield forms on the body surface.
The next moment, the opponent's counterattack hit hard on the particle shield of the Glory Battleship, instantly setting off a huge energy shock wave that spread to the entire void!
