"The enemy fleet is detected to be rapidly advancing towards Liuli Channel 3."
“The defenses were ready to fire.
This is still the boundary of orbital defense firepower, but defense facilities are also deployed on Liuli 3, and even the basically completed star fort can actually fire.
Looking at the formation of the Red Pirates, it looked like they were about to launch a desperate attack, but Soshiyang always felt that something was wrong.
"Enemy ship fires!"
A few beams of light penetrated the darkness and slammed into the Flesh Tearers' flagship battle barge, the Galloping Horse. The shields flashed and collapsed, parts of the hull's armor torn off, and gas and flames spread across the bow.
The Imperial fleet then launched a counterattack. As the oldest battleship, the Red Corsair's battleship Lamentation was originally a little unable to cope with the continuous attacks from fighter planes. This time, it was directly destroyed by the Eternal Loyalty, Atonement and the Ascetic's flagship Eternal. Night focused its fire, the shield was directly defeated, and the upper deck was washed with macro-cannon shells, tearing the spine gun array into pieces.
The battle quickly reached a new peak, with lasers piercing the hull of the ship, and a sphere composed of wreckage and flames rolling in the void.
"strangeness……"
Soshyan's eyes were fixed on the battle projection, and the display screen became closer. The ship's markings become projections of the hull, all wrapped with tactical data.
"What exactly is the Red Pirate going to do?"
The scene began to change, focusing on the warships that had broken away from the red pirate formation. Some possibility flashed in Soshiyang's mind.
"etc……"
"The enemy ship has entered the satellite attack range!"
The projection crackled and scaled down, filling the planet, fortifications, moons, and two attack fleets with cones of light.
Finally, Soshyan realized
"They're going to hit the satellite with a battleship! No! They're going to hit the star fort!"
The field of vision swung again and quickly locked onto the protruding battleships. Their outlines were vaguely visible, and they could be roughly seen as three cruisers.
"Attack them with all your strength! Stop them!"
Although Soshyan ordered so, the battleships had previously targeted the enemy's battleships, and it would take time to turn and attack those suicide ships.
At this time, the defensive firepower on the satellite began to fire, and the beams of light in the sky stirred the vacuum. At the same time, the weapons on the star fort also activated one after another, and the damage and loss values began to glow orange on the enemy's ship.
"Order the fighter formation to stop the enemy at all costs!"
The vision on the tactical instrument circled through the fleet, flying from ship to ship, finding a ship and locking on to it.
It was a murder-class ship. In the shaking real-time picture, the battleship had been completely enveloped in firelight. Fighters surrounded it like flies smelling carrion, creating tiny wounds one after another, but it seemed to shoot out. An arrow rushes towards the target desperately.
The satellite's firepower intensified, white and orange hammering against the live feed.
Suddenly, the deck shook beneath Soshyan's feet, and he could hear the roar of the battleship's giant cannon.
"Under direct attack, the void shield connects to backup energy."
Sparks fell from the ceiling above, and the battle scene turned into a blur of shaking. Soshyan was focused on nothing, even as thousands of people died in the gaps between heartbeats.
Then, he saw the ship suddenly pause as if exhausted, and several dazzling light spots streaked across the void.
It exploded like a firework, starting from the middle of the ship and slowly breaking into three pieces.
But Soshyan was not happy, because the other two ships were close enough to the satellite, and they did not directly hit the star castle. In fact, this also saved them. The star castle's firepower was enough to destroy them before they were completely close. It approached the satellite at the shortest distance, and then dropped a large number of landing modules and landing craft. In the process, another light cruiser was destroyed.
The last cruiser was already scarred and did not continue to move. Instead, it shut down its engine and slid onto the satellite. However, it did not crash with the help of the satellite's microgravity environment, but maintained at least 70% of its integrity.
Soshiyang connected to the command center on Liuli 3.
"All surface units, prepare for enemy landing."
The enemy chose to land on Liuli No. 3. Soshiyang was surprised but not surprised at all. He even felt stupid. Did they think they could turn the tide of the battle from the ground?
This was too naive. Although he did not deploy space warriors on the satellite, it did not mean that there was no defense force there.
But the cruiser that made an emergency landing made Soshyan a little concerned.
He probably guessed that the Red Corsair was going to do his old trick again, summoning demons on the ship or simply opening a warp rift.
"Order the Silent Goshawk Wing to blow it up."
As the Silent Goshawks struck again, this time they carried powerful nuclear bombs, the Red Pirate wizards were still performing rituals intensively on the ship. Then they felt violent tremors, and then the white-hot energy swallowed the ship. Three quarters of a cruiser's hull.
"damn it!"
Looking back at the rising cloud of debris and the disintegrating warship, Okote couldn't help but curse. He finally escaped from the pursuit of those mechanical lunatics, grabbed a Thunderhawk from the scrap ship, and escaped. He just returned When he arrived at the fleet, he thought everything was fine, but he didn't expect to encounter such a mess again. If he hadn't led his war gang to get a landing craft and ran out in time, he would have been thrown into space like those metal garbage.
Stepping on the barren gray crust of the satellite, Okote's heart felt really cold. Although the commander in the communication channel kept shouting about organizing an attack, he knew very well that no matter whether it was successful or not, they would definitely The probability is that there is no way to escape.
Whoever came up with this strategy is really a little genius. If that bastard stood in front of him, he would definitely give him a medal bigger than a wizard's Frisbee.
What kind of genius brain would think that a few ships and one or two thousand people can occupy a satellite full of fortresses?
But there is no way, what can we do if everyone is down? He could only ask the old buddies in the war gang to move closer to the main force first, and then look for an opportunity to see if he could find an aircraft to escape like he did in the hulk - of course, the premise is that the fleet is still there, but with such great wisdom in command, Okot felt the chances were a bit slim.
At this time, the entire surface of the satellite was in chaos. The metal fragments that kept falling and hitting the ground, corpses and landing modules made the dead gray earth seem to boil. The red pirate leaders who were lucky enough to survive began to greet their men loudly, and A new chain of command was established. No matter how corrupted they were, they were still Space Marines, the most dangerous army in the galaxy.
Because the landing points were very scattered, the red pirates on the satellite gathered into four relatively large groups, with a total of about a thousand people. They then began to attack the most conspicuous target-the unfinished star fort. The attack was launched amidst the shouts of the enemy and the screams of fighter planes passing overhead.
