2208. Battle of the Gods (4)
Shepard was already on standby on Normandy. She stood in the command center and looked at the battlefield situation on the holographic star map, feeling extremely anxious.
Now their fleet was completely surrounded, with warships firing from almost every direction.
Ander-Viking showed genius command methods. He allowed the fleet to take advantage of its firepower and use Steadfast-class Cruiser as an arrow to continuously advance.
The three Endless-class Super Carrier and Archangel-class Titan Warship have all-round powerful firepower. The turrets on Endless-class Super Carrier are densely packed like hedgehogs, and the scene of firing salvos is extremely spectacular. Countless beams, missiles and explosions are the best proof of the terrifying firepower of Endless Class.
The Archangel-class Titan Warship is relatively low-key. Although the hull is extremely large, the mushroom-shaped Titan warship is currently equipped with only eight high-energy laser arrays on the front mushroom head and six groups on the left and right sides of the rear end, for a total of 20 high-energy laser arrays. Moreover, every time this laser weapon fires, the naked eye can only see an undetectable flash of light. However, every flash of light brings devastating destructive power. If you use a thermal sensor to observe it, you will find that every time the light flashes, the temperature sensed on the sensor will instantly exceed the upper limit of measurement!
But relatively speaking, although the firepower of Steadfast-class Cruiser is also very fierce, it is based on the Hypermatter Railgun installed on the front end. This electromagnetic gun is adjusted on the basis of the original MK-IV-94B1E6 heavy MAC cannon. It uses the Hypermatter electromagnetic acceleration technology independently developed by Duchy of Dawn, and its firepower is extremely powerful. But because it is an axis-based weapon, it can only be aimed by adjusting the direction of the battleship.
In addition, the Stalwart class only has two Shooter missile launcher bay and five MK-55 coil guns as secondary guns. Relatively speaking, this firepower is much weaker.
Therefore, Ander-Viking places the Steadfast class at the front of the formation, and is only responsible for the enemies in front, while the surrounding enemy ships are taken care of by four super battleships. In such a formation, Ander-Viking directs the entire combat formation to always be in a high-speed maneuvering state.
The Steadfast class is the chisel of this formation, constantly destroying the Rotten warship on the front, cutting through the encirclement network, and then its own warships rush in this direction.
The battleships of Rotten Star Ring are all dilapidated. Although they are huge in number, their maneuverability is very poor. The Sublight engines of many battleships are not even as fast as the already heavy Archangel-class Titan Warship.
During such maneuvers, Rotten warship was constantly being thrown away and fell behind, and then these warships had to stagger and catch up behind them. This keeps the number of Rotten warship that can surround Duchy of Dawn fleet from being too large.
Ander-Viking very accurately directed the attack direction of Steadfast-class Cruiser. The Steadfast-class Cruiser formation was like an arrow and a drive, guiding the direction of the four giant ships behind them.
His command was incomparable. Under such constant pulling, a large number of Rotten warship were left behind and unable to follow. This made the entire Rotten warship formation more and more loose, and the battlefield area continued to expand, with Rotten warship everywhere. In order to continue to maintain the encirclement situation, more and more warships were sent from the direction of Rotten Star Ring, which resulted in fewer and fewer spaceships orbiting the planet.
Shepard clenched his fists, anxious as he watched such a battle.
Finally, the communication from Ander-Viking came, and he was heard saying seriously, "Normandy, get ready! Set off immediately after receiving the order!"
"I'm always ready!" A light flashed from the corner of Shepard's eyes.
At this moment, the Steadfast-class Cruiser formation and Archangel-class Titan Warship suddenly concentrated their firepower and fired a salvo at the front! Immediately afterwards, the three Endless-class Super Carriers and the Particle Beam Lance, which had been preparing to launch in order to save energy, finally launched for the second time!
Countless flames and explosions spread in front, and it was impossible to even see clearly what was happening on the battlefield!
At this moment, Ander-Viking shouted, "Now! Normandy, go!! You only have three minutes to break through the enemy ships!!"
"Roger it!" Shepard shouted and pressed the command button at the same time.
The pilots Jeff-Moro who received the signal immediately turned the already preheated engine to maximum, activated the stealth system, and the battleship rushed towards the endless sea of fire in front of the formation at extremely fast speeds!
The high temperature of the explosion and countless debris continued to wash away Normandy's shield, which also temporarily destroyed Normandy's invisibility. Some Rotten warship immediately turned around and flew towards Normandy.
Ander-Viking immediately ordered that the eight high-energy laser arrays in front of Archangel-class Titan Warship concentrate their firepower to escort Normandy.
High-energy lasers flashed continuously, and Rotten warship was destroyed one by one. Seizing this only opportunity, Jeff-Moro drove the warships directly through the gap just made to break through the siege!
At this moment, almost all Rotten warship's attention was on the formation of super battleships. Normandy continued to activate the cloaking device and flew silently towards the planet Moog-Faror.
Ander-Viking said in the communication very solemnly, "Shepard, your mission is to go to the planet Moog-Faroo and locate the exact location of the core consciousness of Meng Gal-Meng Gal through the sub-consciousness body! Then I can launch a strike and send Mind-harp there!"
"Understood!" Shepard replied.
The sub-consciousness body can only point to a rough location. If it is in the universe, it will always point to the planet Muge-Fallo. Therefore, to determine the location of core consciousness, one must enter the interior of the planet.
At the same time, on the Ander-Viking side, because Archangel-class Titan Warship's Doomsday Weapon can only be used once, he can only rely on this one shot to do two things at the same time - send Mind-harp to the planet, and use Particle Beam Lance to launch an orbital attack on the core consciousness.
This is an interlocking battle, and no mistakes can be made in any link.
Shepard understands very well that if he cannot position himself accurately, then Ander-Viking can only continue to consume on the space battlefield. As the energy continues to decrease, his chances of breaking through the siege and sending Mind-harp to the planet become smaller and smaller.
Normandy remained invisible and approached the planet Moog-Farlow, finally bursting into the atmosphere.
The violent air friction caused a burst of fire in the clouds around Normandy, which became a very obvious target. Immediately, a warship turned away from Rotten Star Ring and chased Normandy.
However, there are not many Rotten warships on Rotten Star Ring at this moment. Most of them have set out to encircle and suppress the fleets of Ander-Viking. Normandy also chose the most empty place, which is beyond the reach of the slow Rotten warship.
Breaking through the atmosphere, Normandy became invisible again.
Those backward Rotten warship are naturally unable to detect Normandy. Having lost their target, they can only wander around aimlessly.
Sherry-Birkin is also on Normandy at the moment. She and her research team continue to stimulate that sub-consciousness, and find the location of the core consciousness through the resonance between the consciousnesses of Gal-Gal.
Shepard looked at the outside world through the porthole window.
The planet Moog-Farlow, as mentioned before, is indeed like the deepest part of hell.
The air is always foggy, and according to sampling analysis, the density of Mongal-Mongal particles in the air has reached an astonishing level. It can even be said that when you come to this planet and take a breath, your lungs will immediately be infected by Mongal-Mongal.
And the entire planet, whether it is plains or hills, is covered with brown silt almost everywhere. Countless silt here has almost become a brown ocean covering the entire planet! No wonder the planets are all brown when viewed from outer space! Except for some peaks that are too high above sea level, almost every inch of land on the planet is covered with Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal!
At this moment, a siren suddenly sounded.
Jeff-Moro shouted, "We are locked!!"
"What? Those shabby battleships can Anti-Stealth??" Huang Yehao was shocked.
Shepard looked solemn, "No, it should be based on the foggy Gal-mongo Gal particles in the air to locate our position."
"This is trouble." Huang Yehao's face darkened.
Sure enough, only hundreds of warships were seen entering the atmosphere and rushing straight in the direction of Normandy!
At the same time, the situation in the space battlefield also began to get worse.
Although under the command of Ander-Viking, Expedition Fleet has destroyed more than 20,000 warships, but this is only a quarter of the number of Rotten Star Ring warships.
But the price they paid was that the battleship's ammunition and energy had dropped to a dangerous level! If you continue like this, sooner or later you will run out of ammunition and food!
Three-quarters of the missile inventory has been launched. Although the factories on several super battleships are operating at full capacity, they are still far behind the rate of consumption.
As for Energy Weapons, due to continuous use, the capacitor has overheated, and each launch requires longer and longer cooling and circulation times. Some capacitor cabins even started to catch fire because they did not dissipate heat in time.
The reduction in firing rate allows Rotten warship to rush forward more often. It was impossible for these warships to get close to Expedition Fleet, but now, several warships have tried to rush over and ram directly! As time goes by, this will happen more and more!
Steadfast-class Cruiser is even more overwhelmed. The missile inventory has long been exhausted, and the Hypermatter Railgun ahead has begun to be overwhelmed. There are even several Steadfast-class Cruiser and Hypermatter Railgun that directly exploded!
As for the fighter formation, although Ander-Viking's targeted tactical arrangements allow the formation to launch attacks from the periphery of the battlefield, this gives these fighters enough fighting space. However, the energy reserves and ammunition reserves of fighter jets are even smaller and have long been exhausted. When returning to the mothership for maintenance and supplies, they were attacked by Rotten warship and lost more than a quarter of their fighter jets!
Twelve Steadfast-class Cruisers have been destroyed in the battle, which has reduced the forward firepower of the fleet formation by about half. In order for the fleet to maintain breakthrough and maneuverability, Ander-Viking had to let Archangel-class Titan Warship move toward the front of the array, and use eight groups of high-energy laser arrays at the mushroom heads of Archangel-class to open the way ahead.
However, this also makes the formation more weakened by the surrounding firepower, and the encirclement circle has become smaller and smaller! But Rotten warship is still endless!
Expedition Fleet has flown around the planet Moog-Faroo three times, destroying countless Rotten warship in its path, leaving behind countless fragments and wreckage. These fragments and debris are floating around the periphery of the planet, forming three very loose fragments Star Ring!
Ander-Viking stared at the holographic combat star map, and he was already covered in cold sweat. The assistant on the side has fed him high-energy nutrient solution three times and even given him a burst of adrenaline to support him and continue to direct.
This battle is not only extremely stressful, but it has already been fought for 6 hours!
Ander-Viking are also waiting. Doomsday Weapon of Archangel-class Titan Warship has already completed charging. Now they are waiting for the signal from Shepard to launch Doomsday Weapon immediately!
On the surface of the planet, hundreds of warships fired continuously downwards.
These warships are very smart under the control of Meng Gal-Meng Gal. Although they cannot observe Normandy, they can use close-defense weapons to wildly shoot a large area. As long as a bullet hits Normandy, Normandy can have a momentary flaw!
Jeff-Moro drove the battleship up and down, almost treating the 176-meter-long frigate as a fighter jet.
Normandy drew several complex curves in the air, dodging most of the attacks. At the same time, he kept firing and shot down several Rotten warships.
"Joker! Flying along the equator of the planet! This is the projection of Rotten Star Ring. Meng Gal-Meng Gal must have hidden his core consciousness under the protection of Rotten Star Ring!" Shepard said loudly to Jeff-Moro.
"I said, I can only try my best!" Jeff-Moro roared loudly. He had already tried his best to fly the spacecraft and had no time to care about anything else.
"Sherry!!" Shepard turned around and yelled.
"Still positioning! It still takes time! After entering the planet, the state of the sub-conscious body is very unstable!" Sherry-Birkin was also extremely nervous. She and the research team continued to operate the equipment to read the brain wave energy of the sub-conscious body.
"Now neither we nor Ander-Viking can bear it anymore!" Shepard said in a deep voice.
At this time, the sea-like mud on the planet Mugg-Faro suddenly moved, and then condensed into an extremely huge face on a plain that was almost as big as the Blue Star Pacific Ocean!
This face is 70-80% similar to humans. It looked at Expedition Fleet who was struggling desperately and said mockingly: [Ah... ignorant humans, weak humans. I like these warships you sent very much... After killing you, I will place these warships in the most conspicuous position on the planet.]
Inside the planet Moog-Farlo, its sound was as deafening as thunder, and in space, this sound was also sent to Archangel Titan warship along with countless Rotten warship public communications.
[You have lost your last hope... Failure and death are your final destination. And I... will enjoy these new toys...]
But no one paid any attention to it.
At this moment, Sherry-Birkin suddenly shouted, "Found it! I found it!!!"
