Streams of light that were so thick that it was shocking hit the federal fleet in an instant. The audience in front of the screen felt hard to breathe when they looked at the oncoming beam of light!
The brightness of the light beams varies. Some look powerful, but obviously have insufficient energy levels. However, there are also a few light beams that are not only thick, but also particularly solid. They are truly light cruiser-level firepower!
Chennault concentrated fire on three ships at a time, but the Wang Banner mercenaries fired only one target in the first salvo!
More than ten high-energy beams hit a destroyer at the same time. This destroyer happened to be right next to the starship where the image was taken, and the audience watched closely the process of the starship's shields being shattered, armor being ablated, and even the hull structure being vaporized. After a salvo, the front quarter of the destroyer's bow completely disappeared, leaving only a crystallized section reflecting the gleaming light.
It all happened so fast that not even a life capsule had time to pop out.
Anyone who knows a little bit about the structure of a Federation starship knows that the command module is at the front. That was the area with the thickest armor and the best protection in the entire starship, but any defense was useless in the face of the unreasonable concentrated fire of the Wang Banner mercenaries. Only heavy patrols could block it. But let the fleet commander use his flagship to block the enemy's concentrated fire? No one with any sense would do this.
There was silence in the video at this moment. I don't know whether the person who took the video didn't record the sound or the news station didn't broadcast it. The mood of the audience is also like this at this moment, tense and dead.
A few seconds later, the federal fleet began a second round of concentrated fire, still focusing on the original three targets. Chennault's strategy is obvious. As long as these three targets are destroyed, even if he pays the price of a destroyer in the next round, he will still be ahead in victory.
However, the beams of this round of counterattack were a bit sparse, and one target actually had only two beam cannons concentrating fire. In addition to the light of the main gun, the light of the secondary gun also flickered from time to time. A federal destroyer in the distance fired almost all its secondary guns, including beams and high-speed kinetic energy projectiles trailing light tails to form a barrage. There were flashes of fire around it from time to time, and only then did people remember that there were thousands of space torpedoes coming.
Several Federation starships have already begun to evade in advance. Although there is no sound in the image, the entire field of vision turns to a flashing red light, obviously an alarm is playing.
In this round of focusing fire, except for one target that was abnormal, the other two targets were successfully focused. However, when the light of the high-energy beam faded, the two king's flagship starships were still able to move normally despite facing deep pits several meters deep! Even after hitting it so deep, it still hasn’t penetrated its armor!
Regardless of whether Chennault was shocked or annoyed at the moment, Wang's flagship launched a second salvo without haste. This time the target of the concentrated fire was a destroyer that was avoiding a space torpedo. The destroyer's fragile engine parts were exposed, and in the terrifying flow of light, the entire rear third of the ship's hull was completely evaporated.
At this time, the federal fleet finally exploded. Several destroyers released control of the flagship, turned around and began to break away.
The flagship did not forcefully exercise super control, but allowed the destroyers to escape. After a few seconds, Chennault's voice sounded on the channel: "All ships...retreat."
In the video, Wang's flagship fleet seemed to have heard Chennault's order. The entire fleet suddenly turned in unison and pounced on a light cruiser surrounded by space torpedoes.
A thought flashed through everyone's mind: the light patrol was over.
At this moment, the movements of Wang's flagship team suddenly became very strange. They were no longer a domineering concentrated fire, but fired continuously one by one. The high-energy beam cut a one-meter-deep path in the middle of the light cruiser. cracks, and then continue to cut downwards. The fifteen destroyers seemed to have become a surgeon, patiently and meticulously cutting into the opponent.
Chennault suppressed the urge to rescue, launched all the space torpedoes, and then led the fleet to escape.
At this moment, the screen suddenly interrupted and the host appeared again. She said quickly: "This station has been notified that the news just broadcast is suspected to contain false content. It will stop broadcasting and will not continue broadcasting until it is reviewed. As we all know, as the largest news station in the federation, our station has always pursued the fastest and most truthful content." First-hand news. Our station deeply regrets this decision of the federal government and reserves the right to file further lawsuits. Next, we ask Mr. Trudeau, a senior jurist and part-time star theft expert, to comment on the federal government’s ban. .”
Trudeau stroked his charming beard and said deeply: "From a historical perspective, we will always encounter the same problem, what is fake news? In many cases, the so-called fake news means that too much has been made public. News of the truth.”
The host said: "Then how do you think we should deal with the government's ban?"
"This is a temporary injunction, issued very, very quickly. Obviously someone does not want the public to know the truth. There must be loopholes in the procedure for such a quick decision, and this is what we can take advantage of, as long as we follow the degree By tracking down, we will know who is blocking the public's right to know the truth. There is no doubt that our lawsuit will win. In fact, we have won nearly 20 similar lawsuits in the past 30 years, bringing 4 The Minister of Information was forced to step down. There will be no exception this time..."
The audience didn't want to hear Trudeau's buzz. The venue was like a boiling pot, and everyone was talking desperately. A young man shouted: "Why doesn't Chennault exercise his super control and capture those escaping starships?"
The old man who knew Chennault tried to explain: "The escaping starship captain will be held accountable, but if Chennault used super control, most of the responsibility for the defeat will be his. In fact, this battle is no longer winnable."
The young man said angrily: "This is no reason for him to give up! His main force has not been damaged and he can still fight! He is just a coward!"
The old man suddenly became displeased when his friend was humiliated, and hummed: "What do young people know about war? Just because the main force is not lost, we can make a comeback in the future. If we continue to fight, we will only lose more, and the gain will not be worth the loss!"
The young man refused to accept it and raised his voice: "In war, there will be losses and deaths! I would rather die standing than live lying down! This is the model for our generation of soldiers!"
Some young people around him cheered loudly. The old man's face was ashen and he was too angry to speak. The young man said: "A man like Chennault is still a famous general? It's too easy to be a famous general! I want to write a letter to the congressman and insist that people like Chennault be removed from the army. I can only see that he is stupidly scattered. Apart from the firepower, I didn’t see anything. Even the Star Pirates knew that the entire ship was setting fire, but our Vice Admiral didn’t know?”
Faced with the young man's aggressive words, the old man didn't know how to explain.
At this time, the host on the screen suddenly said: "This station has just received the latest battle report from the front line. Since the federal government allows the broadcast of images, we will read you the results from the front line. Uh... we just received another message, Wang The Banner Mercenary Group issued a public statement regarding this war, which I will read to you."
