The Phoenix's sudden mutation similar to that of a "Super Saiyan" naturally attracted great attention from the mercenary fleet.
Countless commanders looked with pale faces as they watched the invincible Xiaoqiang on the other side swimming in their own sea of energy beams. Although it was still difficult, they were no longer in the same embarrassment as before about to collapse, and their two magnetic energy cannons at the bow of the ship were comparable to the waves of death.
With the exception of heavy cruisers, almost no starship can block a spear.
They finally understood why this starship took such a big risk to attack alone. It was not only because of its thick shield, but what was even more terrifying was that its spear was sharp enough, and the armor-piercing ability of the magnetic cannon with a relatively short range far exceeded theirs.
imagination.
After the Phoenix had sufficient energy, in addition to dodging the main guns of the two heavy cruisers, it was basically not afraid of the energy secondary guns of the destroyers and frigates. In addition, the number of battleship wreckage in the space increased, but it became
It is most suitable for the battlefield. The control seat composed of Hao Daier and Ho Daoru, one person and one intelligence brain, brings the Phoenix's super maneuverability to the extreme, sometimes hiding behind the wreckage, sometimes speeding in the void, like
A cheetah in the jungle.
The "arrows" shot hard by a group of hunters either fell into the void or landed on its purple "hair" and were bounced away, basically causing no major damage.
But this cheetah had deadly lethality. While it was flying up and down, it spit out a deadly beam of light that exploded at least three starships into fireworks in the sky in front of the mercenary commander.
Facing such a difficult opponent, even though he is alone, it still makes people feel inexplicably panicked, because no one knows whether they will become its target in the next moment.
Under Nass's rather angry orders, more battleships were mobilized from the outside to participate in the containment attack on the Phoenix starship.
For the first time, Nas made the decision to kill this starship and the young commander inside the starship no matter what the cost. This was for the top mercenary general who was not at the same level as Tang Lang at all.
It is said that this is the first time that Tang Lang is treated as an equal opponent. No, perhaps, it is higher than this.
Whether it was this outrageous warship with excellent performance or Tang Lang who dared to make such a tactical arrangement, they were serious problems that could not be ignored for the frightened and angry Nass.
He has dared to conclude that this starship must have integrated the highest technology secretly developed by the Southwest Federation. It was just because it had no choice but to board the battlefield in advance, or it was the only finished product, otherwise it would never have appeared here, and
It should appear on the main battlefield against Jie Pen.
Nass gets chills when he thinks that in the future, the Southwest Federation's main fleet will all be composed of such high-performance starships. Then even the Great Eagle Empire may not be able to take it lightly. The threat will definitely not be greater than having fifty starships.
How much weaker is the Kyushu Federation's main fleet?
The pace of war must be accelerated.
Of course, it's still a bit far away to say that now. What Nas wants to do most now is to kill the young commander in front of him who has not really grown up yet.
More and more mercenary warships returned to the inner circle of the formation to participate in the attack on the Phoenix. However, on the outer circle, they turned their attack into defense. No matter how the Southwest Federation Combined Fleet, which was mainly composed of small starships, rushed back and forth, they suffered sudden losses.
Increase it and hold on firmly.
He would rather give up attacking a fleet and be beaten passively than kill the Phoenix, which reflected Nass's determination from one aspect.
All the battle processes of the Phoenix are displayed on the monitoring screens of each starship in each formation of the combined fleet. When each officer and soldier is focusing on his own battle, he can't help but look at the Phoenix out of the corner of his eye.
.
Because not only is their supreme commander there, but it also holds some kind of hope.
The Phoenix gave them unimaginable surprises and the latest commentary on tenacity and bravery.
From the time of assembly to the battle, the various ships of the combined fleet had actually been quite critical of Tang Lang's stubborn choice of a destroyer that was not a battleship, especially since the destroyer had been modified with decorations like a swimming pool.
, in the inner thoughts of many people, the Phoenix may have more meaning as a symbol of command.
But it wasn't until the battle began that they discovered that this starship turned out to be an out-and-out battleship. Its powerful defense and attack power allowed it to dare to be the vanguard of the fleet, which gave them immense confidence. But they were wrong.
Yes, Phoenix can become a flagship not only because of the performance of the battleship, but more importantly because of the commanders and people in the battleship.
When you see the Phoenix shuttle through the enemy formations, shuttle through the enemy ray streams, the enemy warships will be damaged and exploded wherever it passes, and it will swim upstream in a desperate situation, just like a white horse and a silver gun attacking the enemy warships.
The crowd was fighting in and out, which made their hearts tremble and their blood surge.
Why do humans need heroes? Because only heroes can make cowards strong and greedy people dare to face death with a smile. For intelligent creatures like humans, they may become greedy because of money and power, but in fact,
After he enjoys spiritual sublimation, he will eventually give up his pursuit of material things. Spirit is the source of motivation for intelligent creatures to explore the unknown world, and it is also the source of progress of civilization.
It's just that human beings don't understand themselves yet. As the level of civilization increases, they will understand themselves more clearly. By then, mecha war gods will no longer be a scarce commodity.
And at this moment, the crew members of the battleship who had gone hand in hand with the Phoenix saw it moving like a rabbit in the enemy's front, and the streamlines seemed to pass through the ship's shadow like a violent storm of energy particles. They only felt that they had been with this ship.
The ships sailing together and traveling side by side are all very generous, as if the cosmic route they have traveled is a road of glory. Many crew members feel that their hearts are chasing the thrilling ups and downs of the ship's shadow.
, grabbed tightly by the invisible force, unable to move their eyes away.
However, the buttons under his hands were pressed continuously, firing blazing artillery fire at the mercenary fleet besieging their heroes, which was twice as fierce as before.
The captains of some warships even gave orders to speed up their warships, follow the trajectory of the Phoenix, and plunge into the enemy formation where energy cannonballs and rays were raging to fight back. Even not long after, they turned into a plane in the void.
A ball of flame, the mercenaries with the same red eyes will not make the same mistake again.
But this does not stop the warships, who are like moths to the flame, from making their own choices.
The performance of the Phoenix at this time was enough to make them forget about life and death!
On the light screen of each battleship of the 9th Fleet, which had just won a battle and was continuing to attack the rear flank of the mercenary formation, many officers and soldiers just watched the Phoenix fighting left and right in the core of the mercenary battleship group, all kinds of
The tactics were used so vividly that these soldiers, who were good at space warfare, forgot to blink.
They have not forgotten the ridicule and pride they showed when facing the appearance of the Phoenix, a majestic military formation in the starry sky.
With its appearance, they made fun of the starship in various ways, even jokingly calling it a "cruise ship". Although the powerful female major went berserk in the flagship, they saw that the independent fleet was not
Even Lieutenant Mingyue chose the Phoenix as a frigate due to its weak strength, but that does not mean that they will respect this battleship.
For a warship to be respected, the most direct thing is its performance. Who are they? They are the 9th Fleet, one of the ten main fleets of the Federation. They are responsible for guarding the northeastern border. They rely only on some personal strength and the favor of the superiors.
, how to convince them?
Moreover, in the battle at Sunset Gorge, they defeated one against three. Although they suffered heavy losses, they still destroyed the same number of enemy ships as theirs.
Yes, including the seriously injured commander of the 9th Fleet, Admiral Zhou Tai, the losses were heavier than those of the 9th Fleet in a century, but they were more sad than they were proud. Because, this battle also proved that,
They are worthy of the name of the main fleet. They are qualified to stand in front of the tombstones of their comrades and say to all the soldiers of the Southwest Federation that we are one of the strongest fleets in the Federation. We and our dead comrades are among the bravest soldiers of the Federation.
one.
They are sad, they are proud, and they continue to fight.
Even if Tang Lang and the Phoenix led a large army to rescue them from despair, they were mostly just grateful and could only be ordered to cover because they were too weak to serve as the main force.
It was only their duty as soldiers to obey orders. But not many people would treat Tang Lang, who gave the orders, as their commander.
But now, all the officers and men in the 9th Fleet, seeing the various maneuvers of the Phoenix in the enemy formation and fiercely fighting against the enemy, think of those private teasing words and contemptuous attitude before. At this moment, everyone
My face feels as hot as fire and it hurts!
Their contempt cannot cover up the courage of that battleship. Their previous slanders and slanders cannot cover up the glory that this battleship now wears in the enemy's formation with the blazing flash of light that destroys the enemy ship and shines on the ship!
What kind of warship is that? Its super maneuverability and flexible response represent its precise grasp of fighter aircraft and its strong intuitive premonition of crises accumulated through experience. The firepower it sprays out in the enemy formation, every blow
They seem to have the power to hammer the enemy's chest!
They must admit that any warship in their fleet, even a heavy cruiser with thick skin, thick flesh, strong shields and strong spears, would not be able to last so long in the core of the mercenary warship group. No one can do it!
What is more important than a starship with excellent performance is courage and determination.
The Phoenix alone contained nearly one-fifth of the mercenary fleet's more than 20 starships, which greatly reduced the pressure on the outside and allowed them to gain more results while paying fewer casualties.
It seems that in front of such a battleship and such a group of people, the 9th Fleet, which was so proud just now, suddenly did not dare to shout the slogan "I am the best Southwest Federation soldier".
Lieutenant General Feng Qin's face was extremely solemn, and he cursed into the intercom: "Why haven't we broken through the front defense yet? The whole fleet rushed over to kill those bastards for me. The Phoenix can't hold on for long, he needs us! Don't
Talk to me, even if it is a collision, I will still crash into the mercenary array. Order the Li Ling to release all the starry sky fighters. Now is the decisive battle! If this battle is defeated, then my 9th fleet will maintain its vitality no matter how much energy it has.
What’s the use?”
"Yes!" After receiving the order suddenly, the 9th fleet located on the periphery used their last strength and fiercely attacked the mercenary fleet.
Perhaps at this moment, it can be called the real combined fleet, not just the combined fleet and the 9th fleet.
The riskless attack left the mercenary fleet on the periphery in a state of panic for a while.
But at the same time, the Phoenix, which was surrounded and suppressed by more than twenty starships of various sizes, was once again plunged into a bitter battle.
In the monitor, at a moment that made everyone's hearts stop, the Phoenix rolled sideways to avoid the four beams of light that were shot in a fan shape. The two magnetic energy main guns fired continuously while rolling. The mercenaries who planned to encircle and suppress her
Two warships in two directions were shot one after another. Three consecutive cannons penetrated the energy shield of the ship. One mercenary destroyer was torn into pieces, the other was cut off at the waist, and metal fragments sprayed out wildly!
The bow of the Phoenix sank and the ship's position was adjusted. At the same time, Tang Lang issued an order from the command seat, "Switch engine energy and input the main power engine!"
Actively allocating energy to the main engine made the Phoenix jump even faster! It threw the energy beams fired by the two destroyers chasing it two positions behind.
After arranging the ship, a group of core ships surrounded by six frigates appeared on the light screen in front of everyone.
The Phoenix finally arrived within firing range of the Nass flagship.
This was also the first time that Tang Lang could observe Nas' flagship at such a close distance. Naturally, it was also Nas' first time.
It should be considered one of the few things in the history of war that the top commanders of both sides looked at each other at such a close distance amid the artillery fire of hundreds of starships and thousands of starfighters.
In fact, no one would board the supreme commander's flagship as a vanguard and break into the enemy's formation to play a game of "taking the enemy general's head from among the thousands of troops".
But Tang Lang did just that, and so far, he has succeeded half of the way.
The flagship of the combined fleet is already facing the mercenary's flagship head-on. Both sides are within the range of their strongest main guns.
Just like the battle between ancient knights, both sides can pierce their swords into the enemy's chest.
Tang Lang, who stood straight, and Nas, who stood up, both stood quietly on the bridge, watching the opponent's starship, which could be seen with the naked eye without a telescope, rapidly approaching.
They all wanted to see the expression on their opponent's face clearly, but unfortunately, the far distance in the starry sky meant that they couldn't see it.
However, this does not prevent these two people from imagining each other's appearance in their minds.
"Aren't you very proud? You are proud that your tactics have finally come true, and you have been able to contain 20% of the opponent's combat power by yourself." Nass sighed softly. "I have to say that your courage is worthy of praise. You succeeded.
"
"But you also failed." Nas's eyes gradually brightened. "You died and your ship sank, which is our biggest result in this battle! What can those mediocre people do?"
Following Nass's voice, two heavy cruisers appeared from both sides of the Nass battleship. The huge hulls stretched in front of the Nass flagship, and their terrifying main guns turned sideways, aiming at the Phoenix, which was approaching at high speed.
"If you have the ability, just kill these two heavy cruisers first!" Nas's mouth curved slightly. He had never planned to engage in a one-on-one duel with the other party.
These two heavy cruisers were transferred by him early in the morning before the Phoenix broke into the battle formation, long before the two cruisers were chasing after the Phoenix.
Perhaps, after seeing two more cruisers, the young man's face showed despair! Nass was jokingly speculating on his opponent's psychological changes.
It's like a drowning person who has arduously swam to the shore, only to find that there is an undercurrent surging on the shore, which may swallow him up at any time.
Nass thought this because he didn't see the cold expression on Tang Lang's lips after seeing the two cruisers.
Otherwise, he will reconsider his tactical arrangements.
