Deity: Star Sea Swarm

As soon as he opened his mouth, the thick special nutrient solution flowed down the esophagus and poured into his stomach, barely comforting his wounded heart.

........................

Among the flagships of the alien fleet, Commander Mayne had already received the warning from the vanguard.

After receiving the information that the frigate formation had been completely wiped out, the other party not only did not leave, but also intended to set up an ambush for them in the jump target area.

I chose it without hesitation, and the entire fleet jumped over at the same time.

As soon as he arrived at the target location, before he had time to observe the surrounding situation, Mayne had already started giving orders:

"The fleet rapidly expanded to the two wings. Before the energy of the protective light film was exhausted and completely shrunk and dissipated, we tried to expand the array area as much as possible to give way to the ballistic trajectory."

"All the main guns of the battleship are charged in advance, the fire control radar is running at full power, and the salvo is ready..."

Loud and clear voices spewed out from Mayne's mouth continuously, and one order after another was quickly delivered to the entire fleet with the efficient cooperation of the entire bridge crew.

Although the protective light film at the transition point can be regarded as a strong magnetic field shield to protect one's own side, the space ripples inside it will also greatly interfere with the accuracy and power of the ship's energy weapons.

Whether it's particle beams or high-energy rays, firing in this environment is extremely inefficient.

After the jump is completed, the void folds caused will be quickly flattened under the effect of the space self-healing characteristics in a short time, and this temporary protective cover will also quickly dissipate.

What Mayne did was the standard tactical idea for a large-scale transition. He wanted to take advantage of this short period of relative safety to complete the formation of the fleet.

It's a pity that the enemies Mai En encountered today were not prepared to give him enough time to arrange.

Before Mayne could finish giving the combat order, there were several exclamations from the console inside the bridge.

The operator in charge of the monitoring equipment was the first to speak, and reported with a trilling voice, explaining the reason for his exclamation.

"Commander, a massive energy response was suddenly detected in the surrounding airspace, and the energy level is rising rapidly!"

Hearing this answer, Mai En frowned suddenly. He didn't panic, and his voice was still calm and clear.

"Lock the location of the energy source and make observations..."

Before he could finish speaking, several observation pictures were already cut out from the projection light curtain hanging from the dome.

It's not that the bridge operators are highly efficient, but the number of these strange energy sources is so large that there is no need to deliberately observe it.

After the radar data was analyzed by the battleship's optical brain, it was connected to the situation displayed on the three-dimensional star map, causing the bridge to instantly fall into dead silence.

According to the star map, these tens of millions of energy sources have surrounded their own fleet.

No matter how naive and optimistic the sailors are, they can't deceive themselves, saying that these energy sources have nothing to do with the enemy fleet.

Through the live scene, Maien stared at the pieces of disgusting purple-red creep with a stiff face, and couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.

"What the hell is this...?"

Before Maien could figure it out, the massive creep that covered almost the entire airspace had undergone drastic changes.

The edge of each creep is curling and shrinking, and the strong roots that were originally bulging and full are also shriveled and withered.

Massive amounts of nutrients and energy are converging towards the center of a truffle blanket.

There was a mass of red-eyed barnacles, again stacked into towers.

"Fire!"

With Wilson giving orders in the consciousness network.

Numerous scarlet blood pupils opened at the top of the red-eyed barnacle, and high-energy rays glowing with dark red light blasted towards the enemy fleet in the center from all directions with almost no blind spots.

At such a short distance, the speed at which the high-energy rays struck was simply beyond what Mayne and his subordinates could react to.

Fortunately, the response of the shipboard optical brain is extremely fast. After detecting the ultra-high energy level ray attack, the output power of the energy shield will be directly fully charged at the first time.

It's a pity that the reserved response time is still too short, and the energy supply also needs a process.

More than [-]% of the energy shields of the battleships have not had time to stimulate to the limit power, and the high-energy rays arrive in an instant.

In just a few seconds, the net-like firepower strafing constructed by the ray stream has already swept across the airspace where the entire fleet is located.

The lucky ones who were only hit by a single shot were lucky. Under the weakening of the protective light film that had not completely dissipated, the high-energy rays did not penetrate their energy shields.

However, ships that were hit by multiple high-energy rays at the same time were not so lucky, and their shields were depleted in an instant.

Without the protection of the energy shield, the battleship's outer armor was easily melted and pierced by high-energy rays like paper.

In just one salvo, nearly [-] small warships were destroyed.

And among the remaining [-] battleships, nearly half of the shipboard energy shield generators were completely damaged due to overload, and they were in a state of no protection!

Lacking a sufficiently powerful shield generator, almost all small ships were destroyed or severely damaged in this wave of indiscriminate fire coverage.

This is still the situation where the fleet is in the transition zone, the protective light film has not completely dissipated, and the power of the opponent's high-energy rays has been weakened to a certain extent.

Chapter 408 Ambush 3

On the flagship of Mayne, the original calmness on his face has completely dissipated, replaced by an expression of horror and fear.

"Why..., this is impossible..., with the protection of the jump barrier, only the energy level of the main gun of the battleship can penetrate the energy barrier of the destroyer!"

The scene in front of him has surpassed his reasonable cognition, just a wave of salvo, the opponent has wiped out half of the warships under his command.

Sitting up suddenly from the command chair, Maien turned towards the inside of the bridge with an ugly face, and the panicked crew roared angrily:

"Find out what that thing is!"

Relying on the prestige accumulated over the years, his scolding at this time can actually help others who are in a panic find their backbone.

But this is only to temporarily stabilize the morale of the army.

Wilson on the other side didn't show much excitement after seeing his first volley and hitting the opponent's super high battle damage.

Entering the state of war, he, who is in real-time control of the situation in this area, saw that almost all the small and medium-sized warships of the alien fleet had been destroyed.

The rest are large destroyers and cruisers, and more than a dozen battleships with a length of more than 5000 meters.

Without hesitation, Wilson immediately continued to manipulate the surrounding floating cannon arrays, and started the second wave of concentrated fire.

The priority targets are directed at those battleships whose energy shields were overloaded in previous strikes and have lost their ability to resist.

More precise energy rays once again covered the rest of the fleet.

A large number of warships turned into fireworks blooming in the void under the attack of high-energy rays.

Then came the third salvo, and the fourth salvo...  

If the red-eyed barnacle wants to emit high-energy rays that can pass through the jump barrier, the energy level of the attack must be raised to the strength of the battleship's main gun.

All the energy consumed by their attacks needs to be quickly replenished by consuming the reserves of the creep.

After multiple rounds of ultra-high-intensity salvos, the stored energy of the creep harvested in the past half month has been exhausted, and it is temporarily unable to continue to provide sufficient energy for the red-eyed barnacles.

In addition, some red-eyed barnacles died due to emitting high-energy rays that exceeded their own limits, resulting in a continuous decline in the attack intensity of the next few waves.

Wilson, who had an overview of the battle situation, discovered that the efficiency of destroying the opponent's warships began to decline in the subsequent rounds of shooting from the floating artillery array.

Shaking his head helplessly, this situation was as early as he expected.

The intensity of high-energy rays after the original energy level has dropped is hardly a fatal threat to large warships equipped with high-power energy shields.

As long as the opponent's attack energy level cannot reach the strength to penetrate the energy shield, and the energy supply of the ship's large energy shield generator can be stabilized, the damaged energy shield can be quickly recharged.

It's a pity that there are too many red-eyed barnacles, and many warships suffered varying degrees of damage in the first round of super high-energy salvos arranged by Wilson.

Even if the intensity of the salvos dropped sharply in the next few rounds, the attack density did not decrease but increased.

The spherical encirclement built by the floating artillery array completely surrounded the entire alien fleet.

No matter which angle it is, the warships in it will be bombarded by high-energy rays, and there are almost no gaps!

The energy shield generators of most cruisers, in this kind of non-stop intensive attack, also suffered from various failures or even directly burned down due to the overload of output power.

Round after round of covering high-energy rays, like pouring rain, poured on Mayne's fleet, and clusters of firework from the martyrdom of the battleship swept continuously from the edge of the remaining fleet array to the center.

None of the battleships within the attack range can escape such intensive attacks!

Maien, who was on the flagship, looked at the one-sided battlefield situation and knew that he must have hit the iron plate this time.

"The fleet dispersed immediately. While the transition barrier has not completely disappeared, the attack lock will be disturbed. Everyone breaks out separately, and regroups after getting out of their fire range."

He decisively issued an order to disperse and break through. In his opinion, this is the only option at present.

The opponent's attack is not only huge in number, but also powerful. Who can resist this?

Besides, the spherical encirclement formed by the floating artillery array is not invulnerable.

Relying on 10 yuan of creep like rootless duckweed, and the ray towers rooted on it, to build such a large-scale encirclement, the power in every direction is undoubtedly extremely weak.

If the rest of the large battleships break through scattered, not only can the target be reduced, the floating artillery array that can't move can't carry out the all-round concentrated fire like it is now.

There will inevitably be loopholes in the entire encirclement, allowing some undamaged large ships to break out.

It wasn't just Mayne who noticed this, as the designer of the floating artillery formation tactics, Wilson also knew about it.

This is also the reason why he endured the pain, at the expense of a large number of creeps and red-eyed barnacles, but also the reason why he had an absolute advantage in the first wave of attacks.

Then the floating artillery array continued to shoot continuously, also in order to kill as many enemy ships as possible before the enemy commander reacted.

Now, even if Mayne reacted, his subordinates had already suffered huge losses, and a large number of warships were constantly being destroyed during the breakout process.

In the end, only the dozen or so battleships and more than [-] cruisers that were damaged to varying degrees were left for the ships that could really break through the floating artillery array.

What made Mayne vomit blood even more was that even the battleships that had broken through were still within the attack range of the red-eyed barnacle ray tower.

The all-round attack angle of the red-eyed barnacles made the battleship that had just broken out continue to be bombarded by high-energy rays as it tried to quickly distance itself.

With the disappearance of the interference of the jump barrier, whether it is the main gun of the battleship, the auxiliary naval gun, or even the air defense array...

All the shipboard weapons began to roar wildly, pouring firepower at the floating cannons within range.

The crew used this to vent their anger and panic, and a large number of creeps disintegrated and exploded under the artillery fire.

Chapter 409 External Invasion

Just when the flagship broke through the encirclement with the battleship formation, Maien thought he had escaped.

He found sadly that, apart from the floating artillery array surrounding them, Wilson's Zerg fleet had already drawn up and had been waiting for a long time.

He had just escaped from the jump protection when he was hit head-on by an overwhelming scarlet ray attack.

Without the interference and weakening in the transition area, the damage intensity of the high-energy rays has obviously increased by at least two levels.

The energy shield of the battleship, which was able to withstand the ray attack stably before, was fully loaded in an instant.

The blue translucent shield covering the entire battleship barely resisted for 3 minutes before reaching its limit, and went out immediately after a burst of flickering light and dark.

All the personnel on the bridge showed desperate expressions the moment they lost their energy shields.

Without an energy shield, it means that the battleship has lost its strongest defense capability.

Relying solely on the armor layer of the hull, in an attack of this intensity, the armor layer would be melted through in pieces by high-energy rays in a maximum of ten seconds, and there was absolutely no possibility of them surviving.

However, after the high-energy rays that fell on the battleship's armor penetrated the energy shield, the energy level dropped significantly.

The non-stop bombardment lasted less than five seconds, and stopped after destroying all the exposed weapons outside the ship.

"Phew... I'm exhausted. I never thought it would be so troublesome to precisely control the attack strength of high-energy rays."

Wilson took a deep breath, poured the special nutrient solution in the command cabin into his lungs, and rewarded himself a little, before giving follow-up orders in high spirits.

"The shipborne assault force is dispatched immediately to carry out boarding operations."

"It doesn't matter whether the enemy personnel are dead or alive, but you better be careful. These are all spoils of war. Try to avoid damaging the equipment in the ship as much as possible..."

After Wilson finished speaking, the monocular worm connected to the consciousness network immediately became busy.

Part of the pioneer ship floating in the void, the creeping blanket attached to the outside of the ship squirmed quickly, and a row of huge black holes quickly formed.

Then, countless newly awakened shipboard Zerg units swarmed out from the creep channel opened by the monoeyed worm.

Every Thunder Wyvern and Slayer that left the battleship was covered with other small Zerg units.

After adjusting their posture a little, they immediately increased their speed to the limit and shot towards the remaining enemy fleet.

Groups of main Zerg units traveled through the void, and before they were about to hit the enemy ship, they began to slow down early, and the small Void Zerg units attached to them also actively 'jumped' at this time.

They kicked vigorously with their feet and limbs, and the densely packed alienated springtails and hydralisks scattered in the void like celestial maidens scattered flowers.

The Thunder Wyvern and Slayer, who still shot at the enemy ship, rammed into the outer armor of the battleship.
