The "Destiny Extraordinary", which fell into despair, suddenly found that the firepower from the front suddenly weakened. On the battlefield ahead, geth warships exploded one after another. On the bridge, the sailors of the desperate flagship and the members of Parliament rushed to the portholes together. They stared dumbly at the fireworks of destruction that covered the sky in front of them.
Too many battleships were destroyed in an instant! As the gas and debris of the explosion expanded in space, the hurricane of destruction swept towards the surroundings, and those low-mass geth warships were even blown away!
Under the gaze of everyone, the four Star Alliance cruisers lined up in a tight formation, with full firepower, and rushed out of the smoke with their heads held high! Appearing directly in front of the "Destiny Extraordinary Ship"!
The bows of the four Star Alliance battleships turned slightly sideways, avoiding the Chao Phantasm in front of them, but they were still exploding with all their firepower at overclocking! The laser turrets on both sides fired strobe salvos in neat rows, like bright wings on both sides of the ship. Disintegration torpedoes, this kind of slow-moving weapon that has been recognized as having reached its end, seems to have never been so prosperous - because the geth warships are too densely arranged, and they are all surrounding Destiny Chaoren - this makes disintegration torpedoes sure to hit almost every shot! Then...boom...Although the torpedo is slow, it explodes with frightening power.
The geth Dreadnought might be able to resist, but the cruiser is basically cannon fodder. Because it is a reactive torpedo, its range of influence is extremely large. It can even clear out a small area of geth small battleships at once... It is so overbearing.
"We also need this kind of torpedo..." The captain of the Destiny Extraordinary watched eagerly as this "backward" weapon showed its power. My heart is full of envy, jealousy and hatred. She didn't know that what she was saying to herself was met with a cold glance from the Asari Senator.
Li Huamei's fleet did not stop at all. Several battleships followed the actions of the leading red battleship and turned the bow around. It turned into a diamond-shaped shield covering the front of the Destiny Extraordinary Ship.
"This is the Destiny Extraordinary, the flagship of the Citadel Guard Fleet. Please... please come to the ship and identify yourself." The navigator of the Destiny Extraordinary nervously sent a communication request to the opposite side and said.
"This is Task Force Skirian, the Second Fleet of the Star Alliance Navy. I am Commander Li Huamei..." A clear and clean voice sounded on the channel. Just listening to her words, it seems that you can imagine a heroic woman. Military image.
"Thank God, it's the Star Alliance fleet, reinforcements are coming!" Li Huamei didn't wait to finish. The navigator was so excited that he couldn't help shouting and passed the news to everyone through the ship's channel! Suddenly. After hearing the news, the flagship was filled with joy. People applauded loudly and hugged each other, thankful for this hard-won dawn.
Only a few Citadel council members were still reserved, and they just nodded to each other. Seeing everyone's excitement, I couldn't calm down for a moment. The councilor representing the Asari stepped forward. She first signaled the navigator to leave the position, then took over the communication channel. "I am the Executive Speaker of the Council and welcome you, the hero of our Skirian Raid."
As expected of a successful politician, Congressman Asari connected Li Huamei's name with the news figure from a few years ago in just a few seconds. To hear her talk about it so calmly, it was as if she had never left that little incident with Skirian behind. Even if Li Huamei knew what was going on, she would still feel good about her.
"Salute to you, Your Excellency the Executive Speaker." Li Huamei replied.
"Your Excellency Li Huamei. I would like to know the situation outside and the number of fleets coming to support from the Star Alliance, if possible." Councilor Asari said.
She is well mannered. Even on the battlefield, he still maintains the demeanor of a pan-galactic leader. At this time, the captain of the Destiny Extraordinary walked up to her, showed her an electronic version with "62%" written on it, and mouthed to her, "The flagship's shield is recovering." The Fried Rice is indeed the most powerful battleship. Just because the incoming fleet interrupted the intensive attack of the Geth, her shield immediately went up. Hear the good news. The Asari Senator was in a better mood.
"Sorry, Your Excellency." Li Huamei said bluntly. "We don't know what happened at the moment, but as far as we know, all the main level repeaters have been shut down. We were able to come because we happened to be nearby..." Li Huamei explained the situation in the outside world in detail . The Citadel can control the main level relays in the entire galaxy. This is still a secret outside the highest level, so she pretends not to know, and tells the truth about everything else.
When they heard that the only ones coming for help were the four battleships they saw, the survivors of the Citadel Guard Fleet fell silent again, holding their breath in their hearts. They had directly destroyed dozens of battleships before, and the number of Dreadnought-class ships far exceeded four cruisers... However, in order not to completely extinguish their hopes, Li Huamei deliberately said that he saw an abnormality in the repeater, and then Try every means possible to rush to the Citadel - saying this one is to sell well; the other is also hinting - I think so, and others will definitely think so too, and reinforcements from all races will continue to come. …
At this time, the outbreak period of the four Star Alliance ships finally came to an end - the stored fission torpedoes were completely emptied, the overheated defensive turrets were all overheated, and only the main guns were still firing without a single shot. However, following Li Huamei's command, the four battleships shrank backwards in a cycle and retreated into the spherical formation of the Citadel escort fleet. The posture of the fleet looks orderly and at ease.
Seeing this scene, the Asari councilor's eyes lit up. She first glanced at the flagship commander of the Destiny Extraordinary and frowned. After only pondering for a few seconds, she said to the communication channel, "My hero, we are facing a difficult moment. Can you help us get out of the predicament?"
Hearing her words, the commander of the Destiny Extraordinaire turned his head sharply, looked at her in disbelief, and dropped the electronic version in his hand to the ground.
Senator Asari didn't just say this in a moment of enthusiasm - first of all, Senator Asari had seen all the mistakes made by the commander of the Destiny Extraordinary before, which made her extremely disappointed with this person, and she did not believe that this person could lead the escort fleet at all. Out of the woods;
Secondly. Within the few minutes of the exchange just now, her assistant had already brought all Li Huamei's explicit information to her. When she saw one of them - Turian and Star Alliance were conducting joint military exercises, Li Huamei was commanding an old cruiser. But when the outcome of the entire military exercise was finally reversed - Councilor Asari immediately realized that Li Huamei was probably a genius when it came to commanding battleships!
Coupled with the hero points from Skirian's raid, she finally decided to place the treasure on Li Huamei... In short, it was just the difference between a ten-death encounter and a narrow escape! Ordinary people wouldn't be able to hear Li Huamei's misleading words, but she wouldn't be fooled! Councilor Asari has clearly realized that reinforcements... there may be no more reinforcements.
"Can you believe me?" Li Huamei declined without any pretense. Nor did he emphasize his own advantages. In this race against time, her questions cut to the core.
"I can!" Councilor Asari replied decisively.
"Then I need command of the Citadel Guard Fleet." "You got it." Once the decision was made. Councilor Asari acted equally quickly and directly requested the Destiny Extraordinary to switch command to the Star Alliance's "Hangzhou".
"This is a difficult decision, but I think you are right." The Turian Councilor from the Citadel stood behind the Asari Councilor and expressed support for her. as a fighting race. In his eyes, the commander of the Destiny Extraordinary was more than "clumsy"!
However, the development of things was still beyond imagination - the command of the fleet had just been switched, and the next moment, a flood of command information was fed back from the command bus! These instructions are numerous and detailed, and even mark the attitude adjustment and movement direction of each battleship, and the time scale is accurate to within microseconds!
"My god, it's just like AI!"
*****
The besieging Geth fleet discovered that after the four Star Alliance cruisers combined. The operation mode of the Citadel Guard Fleet has changed...
If we talk about the spherical formation in the past, all the warships shrank to protect the Destiny Extraordinary in the center, and every ship was holding on tightly. If it doesn't move out of the way even if it's destroyed...then this "ball" is spinning.
Even though the geth had thousands of warships, the gunfire beams from the salvo were simply overwhelming. But in detail, there are still considerable differences. Then you can see that the salvo of a group of small geth frigates was intercepted by a Turian cruiser that had been severely damaged. This battleship is clearly in danger. But when he faced a small battleship, the intensity of each main gun failed to exceed the limit of the battleship's remaining shield - so he survived this round with no risk - and then when the shield only left 3% when. After accepting the order, they retreated to the interior of the spherical formation to recover.
Strong versus strong, weak versus weak, even relying on preemptive attacks to destroy the opponent's firepower points... But few survivors realized that they had survived this round without any casualties... because all the escort fleet crew members were about to be killed. The influx of instructions drove me crazy! They needed to tighten all their nerves to complete Li Huamei's request, and then new instructions came one after another the next moment, leaving them no time to check the results.
Only the few Citadel councilors on the flagship had time to marvel at this.
"It seems that I made the right choice." Councilor Asari finally said in relief. She didn't know how Li Huamei issued those instructions...and honestly didn't want to know. Because if it really involves something like AI, it won’t look good to everyone. But after Li Huamei took over, the results were immediate and immediate, giving not only her but also the survivors more confidence!
At this time, the big screen in front of the bridge of the Destiny Extraordinary made a "beep" sound and changed from yellow to green - the flagship, which was protected in the center and had not been hit by a single shot this round, was charging its shield with all its strength. Destiny Extraordinary, her shield value finally climbed back above 90%!
"We are entering the second stage!" Li Huamei's voice resounded on the bridge of every battleship. Following her words, new sets of instructions swarmed in!
*****
The addition of four Star Alliance battleships was like injecting vitality into the Citadel Guard Fleet, making the entire fleet come alive. Everyone can see that there is a huge difference between this minute and the minute before, just like two completely different fleets.
Following the new command, the spherical formation bounced away like a shrinking leech, elongating into a cigar shape - the new formation directly pushed the Destiny Extraordinary to the forefront!
They actually placed the flagship carrying the parliament at the front. Directly exposed to geth fire? ! If Li Huamei's previous command hadn't given everyone confidence, and if everyone hadn't subconsciously followed her command, I'm afraid Li Huamei's new instructions wouldn't have been executed at all! Even so. The commander of the Destiny Extraordinary Ship is also going crazy. She yelled into the microphone frantically, "What are you doing?! Do you know what you did?! You are kidding with the lives of congressmen!"
"You have 98% shield!" Li Huamei took the time to reply to her.
"Oh~" The flagship commander choked hard. The Fried Rice, which was almost full of shields, could withstand four episodes without moving... No, it was a four-volley salvo. But when she saw the contemptuous look in Congressman Asari's eyes, she suddenly realized that if she didn't fight again. I'm afraid it's all over in this life... So the flagship commander desperately found a flaw, "Don't you know, Your Excellency Li Huamei? The main gun of the Destiny Extraordinary is overloaded. We don't have any weapons! You want an unarmed ship?" Are battleships used as arrows?!”
"So...you are an idiot." After more than ten seconds, Li Huamei's answer came faintly, and the moment he spoke it made the commander want to go crazy. At this time, the "Main Engine Online" prompt sounded on the Destiny Extraordinary Ship. The engine of the Fried Rice restarted, and the entire fleet began to charge towards the Citadel according to Li Huamei's instructions!
The Fried Rice is equipped with one of the Asari's best computers. In addition to helping to control the battleship, it also has the ability to organize and analyze the set of instructions sent by Li Huamei to the fleet. As the layers of instructions were reorganized, the people on the flagship could clearly see the prototype of Li Huamei's follow-up plan - once the cigar-shaped fleet with the Destiny Extraordinary as the arrow breaks out of the enemy group and approaches the Citadel Space Station, The formation will change again along the outer shell of the castle.
At that time, with the huge outer wall of the castle blocking its back, the fleet would only have to face a spherical siege from 200 to 220 degrees from the front - compared to the past when it was surrounded by 360 degrees without blind spots. The stress will be greatly reduced! And as long as the fleet fights back and runs in circles around the Citadel, the surrounding Geth fleet will have to follow suit - it seems that the Citadel fleet will even have a considerable advantage!
Not to mention the one who turned defeat into victory. That's a pipe dream - but holding on until new reinforcements arrive is entirely possible! How can the congressmen who understand this not be excited! Therefore, of course he didn't have a good temper towards the fault-finding flagship commander - Li Huamei called the guy an "idiot", but a group of senior officials actually nodded...
But that's not what Li Huamei said. She doesn't have the leisure to ridicule others.
"Don't you realize it until now?" Li Huamei's voice came again. Wake up the commander who was already in a trance. "The huge size of the Destiny Extraordinary is the most powerful weapon! You don't need the main gun at all... you just need to hit it!"
After hearing Li Huamei's answer, everyone was simply horrified! They are all elites in the military. In an instant, he understood the meaning of Li Huamei's words. In large fleet operations, sufficient distance must be maintained between battleships. When the mothership recovers fighter jets or tanks, according to the operational requirements, the fighter jets or tanks need to turn off the mass effect core first - the reason is because of the working principle of the mass effect field.
The mass effect field is a continuous field, and its changes to matter are also continuous. This means that for a battleship equipped with a mass effect core, when the effect field changes the mass of the battleship itself, the structure of the ship will not be torn apart due to field changes.
But when two mass effect fields from different sources intersect, the situation becomes completely different! Unless they are under unified command, any situation is likely to occur - mutual cancellation, mutual reinforcement... but the most common is rapid distortion! Just like Shepard's "distortion" power, the hull of a ship affected by two fields at the same time will suddenly heat up, and then be stretched and torn at the molecular level.
In this case, the only criterion for who wins and who loses between the two field effects is "the stronger one wins"! The mass effect core of the Destiny Extraordinary is the strongest among all the battleships present! So she doesn't need to attack at all, she just needs to ram it hard - the opponent's hull will be heated and torn under the double field effect. Then the Destiny Extraordinary Ship went up and lightly bumped into it, smashing the weakened hull as easily as an egg shell...
Li Huamei got this rare trick from Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan got it from the Reaper - because the Reaper always uses its big claws on the front to grab the battleship, and every time it grabs the battleship into pieces, it looks like it is invincible - —So Lao Lu did an in-depth study and came to a conclusion. It's not that the outer shell of the battleship isn't strong enough, it's because the core of the Reaper is too big!
"Let's charge!" After understanding this, the personnel on the flagship suddenly became excited! Gearing up for a big fight! The Destiny Extraordinary began to accelerate boldly, and with the remaining Citadel guard fleet, it crashed into the densest location of the geth fleet without hesitation!
Seeing the Geth warship blocking the front being smashed into pieces like pieces of paper, the crew on the flagship was so excited! Every impact caused countless people to shout, and the cheers couldn't stop one after another! Looking at the situation at the scene, I thought that Destiny Chaorhan was the dominant side. Although the strength of our own ship's hull also dropped significantly due to the dual field effect, and the shield fell down like jumping off a cliff under the concentrated fire. But right now...who cares about that? !
"Ahem~" Seeing everyone crowding to the porthole, the Turian councilor quietly opened the communication with Li Huamei, cleared his throat and said.
"Little girl, do you want to come to the Turian side?" (To be continued)
