Chapter 995: Chapter 536, Guangfeng Star Sea Battle
The firepower information detected by the patrol ship was transmitted to the Firebath Nova five minutes ago.
The enemy’s firepower blockade, the deploynt of space mines around the warp point… In short, it was to inform the main ships of which warp point locations might be relatively safe to choose from.
Of course, this information wouldn’t be perfect, even quite rudintary.
Completing the warp, the twenty patrol ships on the other side of the Star Realm Tunnel only had ten minutes of reconnaissance ti there, so not much could be expected.
At the sa ti, the decision-making ti for the Firebath Nova was very short. After receiving the information, they would exit the Star Realm Tunnel in just five minutes and arrive in the real universe.
They didn’t have the luxury to carefully choose the optimal solution; they could only pick a location that wasn’t locked based on existing intelligence in very limited ti as the landing point.
Post-warp landing control cannot be perfectly precise; there will always be so degree of deviation.
That’s the risk.
But luck wasn’t too bad this ti.
The number of space mines here wasn’t many, only a few, detonating nearby. One escort ship was significantly affected; the Firebath Nova also took three mines, but they were all triggered by detecting the starship target at so distance, posing little threat.
And the enemy’s main artillery was not aid here. To target the Firebath Nova, they needed to re-lock the target.
The Firebath Nova didn’t need to prioritize engaging its engines fully.
It couldn’t execute overly complex or agile maneuvers either.
Priority had to be given to activating the Void Shield.
The Void Shield of the battleship was quite top-notch.
Next, it was the firepower system.
The artillery was not affected by the Star Realm warp, poised to fire before the warp was completed.
At the mont the warp finished, the firepower system imdiately started searching for enemies, locking onto targets, and preparing to fire.
anwhile, the ship’s self-defense interception system was also ready to operate at full capacity to et the challenge.
Accompanying this Retribution-class Battleship were over fifteen escort ships, all deploying energy shields and fully operating intercept fire.
A few minutes later, the enemy’s first wave of fire arrived.
It was sowhat less than expected.
The sacrifice of the blackfish played its role. A considerable part of the firepower that could have been locked on imdiately was disrupted by the blackfish, pursuing them instead, with limited speed in switching targets.
Our intercepting firepower fired furiously, with ‘Reflectors’ and ‘Defenders’ firing vigorously, intercepting as much of the enemy’s sparse firepower as possible before it reached us.
But despite this, three escort ships that hadn’t deployed energy shields in ti were blown apart.
Even if it’s relatively lesser firepower, the opposing three Star Fortresses, hundreds of space stations, two battleships, and over four hundred ships of all classes were all blocking the way here. Even reduced firepower was still plentiful.
The Firebath Nova took three to four hits, but the battleship’s armor was thick enough, taking no severe damage.
However, before the next round of fire arrived, these dozen escort ships and the Firebath Nova had all deployed Void Shields. At the sa ti, their firepower had locked on and let out a fierce roar.
Several enemy space stations were also blown up.
Hold the position, engage in combat.
With just one battleship and over a dozen escort ships, there was no way to defeat the adversary. In just twenty minutes, four more escort ships turned to space debris, and even the Firebath Nova took three heavy artillery hits of X-class specifications, causing its Void Shield to glow red.
Nevertheless, the sacrifice of the escort ships and the risks borne by the battleship allowed them to achieve one goal: to pave a smooth ‘landing ground’ for the subsequent ships!
Five battlecruisers nad after various planets in the Dragonhawk Star Domain, an aircraft carrier, and over five hundred cruisers, escort ships, and destroyers as the main force instantly descended on the battlefield.
anwhile, the enemy’s firepower was all concentrated on the Firebath Nova and the escort ships it brought.
This Alliance Fleet flagship perfectly played the role of a damage absorber, successfully creating space that the Alliance Fleet desired.
The various Alliance ships that appeared could relatively safely pass through the dangers of the initial warp mont.
Reactivating shields and Void Shields, switching to conventional engines, were all arranged.
anwhile, the firepower that had been prid since before the warp locked onto targets instantaneously upon revealing themselves.
As the enemy’s firepower ca surging, the Alliance’s return fire hit back.
The targets of the Alliance’s firepower were also the enemy’s ships.
Ships are inevitably more fragile than Star Fortresses.
Additionally, the initiative in this battle, to be honest, still lay with the adversary. Unless the Fury Fleet was determined to fight to the death with the Alliance here—sothing Gu Hang would gladly take—otherwise, when the Alliance Fleet demonstrated combat power, causing casualties and pain to the enemy, the Fury Fleet, whose combat morale wasn’t particularly firm, might very well withdraw on their own.
And once driven away, the immobile space defense group left behind would be easy to deal with.
Whether engaging in a fleet battle with the adversary or driving the Fury Fleet away first, either way, the focus was on bombarding the enemy fleet.
