There are a total of three warships attacking from the air, all of them are ard rchant ship types.
The fortress on the ground is also built solidly, seven fortresses are retaliating, and the glow of the protective shield is exceptionally conspicuous in the fierce wind.
"That's very strange," Qu Jianlei mumbled quietly, "Who did I offend here?"
At this mont, a voice filled with ecstasy ca, "The military, it's the military warship... Which fleet are you from?"
"No, this isn't the military," soone recognized the warship and stated with clear reasoning, "Unknown forces!"
"Who cares if it's unknown or not, the opponent's firepower is too fierce! Requesting assistance, requesting assistance!"
"Yes, if they're enemies, we need to activate the three remaining fortresses."
This is too over-the-top, Qu Jianlei didn't think the opponent still had three fortresses unactivated,
So he coughed lightly and finished what he hadn't said before, "Get serious, it's a raid... I'm here for a raid!"
"A raid? That's easy," the opponent was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Take out the enemy warship, and tell us what you want."
Qu Jianlei was truly confused: What does "the raid is easy" an?
However, before he could react, Xiao Hu eagerly asked, "Boss, should we take action?"
"If we can drive away the intruders, then wouldn't we be justified in robbing them?"
That child... Still maintains a simple view of good and evil.
"But there aren't many Energy Blocks left," Qu Jianlei hesitated a bit.
He claid he was here for a raid, but his true intention was to stage an ard parade: I've co to raid, now pay up!
He had the determination to risk everything, but if he could extort so without paying any price, wouldn't that be better?
However, now was not the ti to hesitate. He only hesitated for a mont before deciding.
"Stop attacking, stop attacking! I order both sides to cease fire."
"Whover doesn't stand down, I will attack!"
It's clear that although his reaction wasn't slow, he really lacked diation experience to say sothing like that.
However, it appeared that both sides were ready to fight, indeed quite dominantly.
The defending side seed willing to accept diation, and their artillery intensity gradually reduced.
After all, the fortress's protective shield was still intact, and not attacking could still ensure their own defense.
But the three ard rchant ships continued their agile maneuvering, with their artillery fire intensity unabated.
The next mont, the side hull of one rchant ship opened, releasing three small attack ships, bombarding the defense fortress wildly.
Qu Jianlei gritted his teeth, "Seeking death, Plan Two, attack!"
Xiao Hu was already ready to strike, but as an artificial intelligence, it can't launch an attack before receiving an order.
The Gao Fang warship maneuvers evasively, two twenty-centiter beams of white light shot toward the largest ard rchant ship.
However, at the mont of hitting the rchant ship, the starship's shell burst into two flares of blue light, blocking the white beams.
"Directional explosive reactive armor?" Qu Jianlei's eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Having such a thing, should we use the Main Cannon?"
Generally speaking, warships hitting ordinary rchant ships is usually a guaranteed hit, and ard rchant ships are no exception.
But so ard rchant ships are modified not just for firepower but also for strong defense, like this rchant ship.
Xiao Hu nervously stated, "The Main Cannon uses plenty of energy. Look, its defense is decreasing."
This miser! Qu Jianlei was so annoyed that he rolled his eyes, "Is this the ti to save energy? Continue attacking."
Almost at the sa mont he gave the command, a fortress under concentrated fire exploded.
"All my Energy Blocks!" Qu Jianlei yelled angrily, eyes red, "Xiao Hu, Plan Three!"
"Received," Xiao Hu fired a stream of tracer bullets, targeting the largest ard rchant ship.
Ignore its stinginess; the first chosen target for attack is always the largest ard rchant ship.
But following this, another round of tracer bullets was fired, aid at another ard rchant ship.
Seeing the Gao Fang warship's continuous attack, the ard rchant ship released another two small attack ships, heading straight toward Qu Jianlei.
These small attack ships are fragile but exceptionally agile, and their attack power is strong.
However, the Gao Fang warship is also extrely agile, constantly rolling and maneuvering, striving not to be locked onto by the opponent.
The next mont, three triple machine cannons spewed fire here and there.
This is due to the reason why its firepower is weakened; otherwise, there should be six triple machine cannons.
Following this, two series of tracer bullets fired by the Gao Fang warship suddenly detonated.
The opposite ard rchant ship was quite savvy, even though they noticed the fired tracer bullets, they evaded early.
Seeing the tracer bullets explode nearby, soone snorted, "Knew it was no good intentions."
"Disaster," soone shouted loudly, "The protective shield intensity is decreasing!"
"Damn, damn... there's such a thing as Electromagnetic Interference Bombs?"
There are many types of Electromagnetic Interference Bombs, capable even of distorting magnetic fields causing electromagnetic positioning to fail.
However, a bomb that can interfere with the defense array, causing the protective strength to decline, is truly unheard of.
However, to say it's not an electromagnetic interference bomb, one wouldn't know what kind of shell it is.
In fact, this was an electromagnetic interference bomb specially made by Qu Jianlei according to the properties of Xiao Hu.
Typically, starship protective shields have the ability to defend against electromagnetic interference, the difference is just the strength.
Even ordinary starships need to consider defending against various cosmic rays during interstellar navigation.
Usually, it would be very difficult for Xiao Hu to invade the interior of a starship remotely, and it would not be quick.
Invading a warship is even harder, especially during combat, not only is the defense stronger, but the opponent is also constantly moving at high speed.
But with this type of interference bomb, it becos much easier.
This shell can interfere with the opponent's defense to a considerable extent, and once a gap appears, Xiao Hu can seize the opportunity to invade.
Of course, to achieve this kind of invasion, so preconditions are needed, but let's leave those unsaid.
"Luckily it's just a rchant ship," Xiao Hu was clear about that, "if it were a real warship, it would be much more difficult."
This is not speculation, what it pilots is a real warship; its electromagnetic defense is not comparable to an ard rchant ship.
"Should we take control of the rchant ship's actions?"
"No!" Qu Jianlei shook his head, "It would expose you, act according to the original plan!"
"Alright," Xiao Hu murmured softly, "What a pity, all these are money."
It was a little reluctant to use its Energy Block, but it wasn't slow to act, the next mont, two more white rays were emitted.
The white rays hit the largest ard rchant ship, and this ti no green light burst out.
The ard rchant ship got hit with two big holes, so violent explosions occurred inside, and the whole ship spun and crashed toward the ground.
The other two rchant ships were taken aback at the sight.
However, before they could react, two more white rays were shot out, hitting another rchant ship.
As this rchant ship also crashed toward the ground, the Gao Fang warship fired another round of tracer bullets.
The last remaining rchant ship was scared out of its wits, the combat personnel onboard already knew what it was facing.
This rchant ship fled for its life, but unfortunately, the freed-up battle fortress began to focus fire on it.
Soon after, four small attack ships lifted off from the ground to engage the invading attack ships.
In a short ti, the last remaining rchant ship was heavily damaged, shaking as it descended toward the ground.
In this state, there's no chance of escape, and even if it could, it wouldn't survive in space, so it's better to surrender.
The Gao Fang warship ignored this rchant ship and continued to wildly shoot at the other two descending rchant ships.
Though Xiao Hu assured that no one would notice its invasion traces, Qu Jianlei was still uneasy, thinking it was best to destroy all evidence.
In the eyes of the Titan Group mbers, such behavior seed extrely ruthless.
The invading rchant ship had already shown surrender signals, yet the opponent seed blind to it.
The people from Titan had no choice but to contact the opponent, "Honorable robber, the invaders have surrendered."
Honorable... robber? Qu Jianlei found the wording sowhat humorous.
He asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure we don't need to kill all the invaders?"
"Well... indeed no need," the people from Titan speculated that the opponent was new around here, so they explained briefly.
Though the Asteroid Belt is quite chaotic, there's no prevailing culture of killing everyone to the last.
The main reason is that it has already been monopolized by multiple major powers.
Conflicts below don't matter, casualties are even less of a concern; to seize interests, one must pay the corresponding price.
But it's best not to exterminate completely, as this could trigger upper-level conflicts and make other forces nervous.
In short, such behavior is very unwelcod.
Moreover, those captives can be used for exchange of interests, or at the very least, made to do labor.
While Imperial mining has beco highly automated, there are still so inherently risky jobs, with many dangerous stages in slting too.
Qu Jianlei felt sowhat emotional, not expecting that this chaotic place was more humane than normal society.
During the conversation, one of the invader's attack ships was shot down.
The other attack ships saw that the "Gao Fang warship" had stopped attacking and imdiately requested to surrender.
These attack ships were not only fragile but also short-legged; even if they escaped the atmosphere, they lacked enough Energy Blocks to return.
The Titan people ordered the attack ships to land at specified locations, then dispatched armored units to receive the captives and warships.
There's a saying around here: Due to serious competition for interests, all kinds of equipnt and combat personnel are readily available.
Surrender took about ten minutes, and as for cleaning up the battlefield and rescuing the wounded, that's for the next step.
Qu Jianlei had no interest in waiting anymore, he spoke up.
"Now it's ti to talk about looting... Also, these two rchant ships should be considered as our spoils of war, right?"
He's not a petty person and didn't bother to argue over small points, not even counting those four small attack ships.
