Him and their stars

The development of the battle situation seemed to be just as Admiral Hegobo expected. The remaining fleet, which was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, did not take the initiative to attack, but prepared to rely on the fortress for defense.

So, he personally took command of the majestic Natural Crest and his huge fleet, and began to move forward in a mighty manner.

"Inject all the energy into the main gun! I want to carry out a comprehensive, full, and ferocious fire strike before the landing force moves forward! Tear down the bird feathers of this fortress!" the Kieyeyan ordered loudly.

This fortress was built by the Bakwe people. This statement is actually suspected of racial discrimination in a strict sense. However, in the Imperial Army, the more non-human-born officers are, the more unscrupulous they are in this regard.

The Natural Crest where Admiral Hegober is located is equipped with two powerful central axis positron main guns. Both in terms of power and range, it is comparable to the Qingtian Castle-class fortress main gun.

In other words, only a behemoth that is beyond common sense like a Titan ship can carry such a terrifying weapon.

Of course, if we want to meet the requirement of "sufficient, necessary, and violent firepower" just put forward by the admiral, and if we want to dismantle the armor of the opponent's fortress in the shortest possible time, it is necessary to increase the firing frequency of this giant cannon. .

However, this will consume a large amount of energy from the ship, which will have a considerable impact on the shield and power.

The captain hesitated for a moment, then questioned this.

"Don't mind." Admiral Hegober said with a smile: "We just need to stay outside the enemy's range. Of course, in this case, we are equivalent to a fixed fort, and we have indeed been hit by small rail guns. Maybe. But if it’s true, it means that the spirit of the universe is no longer willing to favor my martial destiny. So, what’s the big deal if my life ends here?”

Admiral Hegober's analysis still makes some sense, but his words always have a slightly ominous tone.

The officers who were familiar with him on the bridge all knew that this was the general using a pretentious and self-deprecating way to show his open-mindedness and magnanimity, to reflect his chicness of looking down on life and death, and his wise and courageous sense of humor.

Approximately, this would make him look like a real nobleman from Tirillo's family.

This doesn't make a Kiyyan human, but it's boring to go into too much detail.

Immediately afterwards, the chief operations officer responsible for fleet formation operations also sent a report: "Yu Rabbit is accompanying us as a companion ship at 4 o'clock, angle -15, distance F0.12."

"Very good. Inform Major General Soback and be ready to take over the landing force at any time." Admiral Hegerber said. He does have plans for this.

You must know that this star of hope of the Imperial Army, the famous "Star of Hope", although he became famous at the God of War Festival and made his meritorious service in the Battle of the New World, he seemed to be an excellent and well-trained space fleet admiral from the moment he debuted. However, after all, he was born in the colonial guard force, and his first job was actually suppressing various rebels.

The so-called jumping gangs to command land battles, etc., should still have professional counterparts, right? perhaps……

If he can really make a contribution, he will be considered to have a good relationship with this star of hope of the Imperial Army; if he cannot, then it can only be said that this person is exaggerating, and it will not cause any fundamental damage to the entire army's strategy; if Accidentally, it disappeared with a bang. It can only be said that it is a weapon without eyesight, and water and fire are merciless.

As for giving King Suliuka eye drops or something, there is one saying that Admiral Hegobo really had no such intention. At least not yet. He is very self-aware of his identity. Although he can indeed be regarded as a disciple of King Bedo, he is just a Kyeyang general who still does not dare to get too involved in the issue of succession to the throne. In this life, he only wants to kill the enemy and serve the public. That’s all.

Soon, the trembling Cuiling Fortress was brought within the range of the Natural Herald's cannon.

"Reduce the shield power to standard one, and increase the main gun power supply to three." The admiral ordered.

The captain hesitated for less than three seconds before executing the instruction.

"The storm roars, start charging!" the Kiyyan general ordered.

"Storm Roar" is the name of the main gun on the Nature's Crest. Some imperial generals who pay more attention to the sense of ceremony and aristocratic propriety like to give these super powerful main guns on the Titan ship or the Sky Citadel a very powerful name. For example, "Thor's Hammer", "Vulture's Beak", "Genesis" and so on.

Although sometimes it is a bit average, we must also know that an army of the nature of the empire is a monster that needs to be fed by a sense of honor. There is often only a thin line between the second grade and the sense of honor.

Although Admiral Hegober is not a Tiriro noble, he obviously pays great attention to the sense of honor.

"The storm roars, start charging!" the adjutant repeated loudly.

"Gunnery department, start calculating the design unit! This is a fixed target, and the first shot must hit!" the general ordered again.

However, before he could get a response from the gunnery chief, it was the security department that responded first.

"Ahead, high-energy reaction ahead! It's a positron cannon!"

"Cuiling Fortress is taking the lead in launching a counterattack against us!" the adjutant shouted.

"Why are you panicking? This is a threatening shot. We are out of the enemy's range!" Until this time, Admiral Hegobo was still very calm and composed, and indeed had the demeanor of an immovable general.

On the other side, on the Royal Rabbit not far from the Natural Crest, Captain Pegsey also immediately captured the high-energy reaction rushing towards his location.

"It's the positron cannon! They took the lead in launching a bombardment on us! The whole ship, prepare for impact." The captain shouted loudly.

These elite crews quickly put themselves into combat mode. In an instant, the shields opened, the armor closed, and the auxiliary engines on the side of the ship began to heat up.

On the other side, Major General Soback also sat back in his safe command room with lightning speed. He confirmed with his eyes that Miss Viscount and his adjutants and staff had fastened their safety devices, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He reacted at this time, and he seemed to be overreacting. He couldn't help but said loudly: "Didn't Chief Haigebo say that there are no heavy artillery in Cuiling Fortress? We are in a safe position."

"It's always good to be prepared!" the captain said plausibly.

This was a mature and prudent statement, and Soback couldn't fault it. He simply said loudly: "Then activate the emergency avoidance mode quickly! Also, send an artillery bombardment warning to the Natural Crest!"

Captain Peggese felt that this was also a prudent choice. After all, the Royal Rabbit is now the escort ship of the flagship. When necessary, it will even block the gun holes of the Natural Crest.

Soback said that he would never be able to stand out for the Natural Crest, not even in this life. Even if it was His Royal Highness King Su's Dawn Angel, he would hesitate for a few seconds, let alone a mere Admiral Heigebo.

However, as a frigate, you still have the attitude you should have.

As a result, Yutu turned off the energy field shield and turned on the magnetic field neutralization shield.

This new type of shield can form a complete restraining magnetic field around the battleship, which has a good neutralizing effect on hydrogen ion beams and neutron beams. Although it cannot completely neutralize positrons, it has a good deflection effect.

Of course, this kind of shield is a so-called special attack against energy weapons, so it is naturally impossible to withstand the physical rail gun. And if it's against a powerful energy main cannon, it's just a question of whether the spear is sharp or the shield is strong.

Soback has great confidence in the Royal Rabbit, and it must be Shield Jian now. Besides, since the opponent doesn't have any fortress cannons, whether they can hit their side is still a question.

But no matter what, at least my attitude now is very correct! We were just a battle cruiser, but we ran to the side and front of Titan with the magnetic field neutralizing shield on. In ancient times, that was all the loyal guards who held large shields to cover arrow stones and protect their commanders.

However, at this moment, Captain Peggese suddenly realized something was wrong. His back suddenly straightened up, and his voice became more solemn: "Wait, something is wrong... The other side's shelling is aimed at us. It’s coming! What the hell, it’s a fortress-level main gun! The whole ship, start an emergency evasion immediately! Repeat, the whole ship! Start an emergency evasion immediately!”

"All members of the ship, take safety precautions! Calculate the contact time immediately! Calculate the contact time immediately!" Miss Viscount loudly said: "Sir Yeager, please be prepared for impact."

This is actually caring and causing chaos. Her Commander Yeager's reaction to avoiding danger, apart from anything else, was a conditioned reflex.

Soback had already sunk his whole body into the anti-impact cushion of the commander's chair, and nodded with a cold (mu) cool (ne) face, but his heart was already filled with turmoil.

Did you agree that there would be no fortress with heavy artillery? Bakvi Birdman, are you plotting against me?

Oh no, the Bakvi Birdman is at best a secondary liability! It was clearly Yu Lian across from me who plotted against me! I am just a battle cruiser, why would He De use fortress artillery to bombard me?

Yu Lian, you are so sinful!

Ah no, Yu Lian can only say that everyone is their own master. Now, isn't it that guy Hegober who forced me into this field?

Kyeyang's horse-faced monster, you can't even describe it!

Soback's face turned red and he coughed loudly. He quickly shut his mouth and reached out to grab the safety buckle on the seat.

He could see Captain Peggese's back on the lower level of the bridge through the railings of the commander's room. The muscles on his back and shoulders were completely tight. He pressed his hands on the steering wheel, and then he let out a high-spirited roar, as if he was driving a ship and charging.

Isn't it the helmsman's job to steer the ship? Although the captain also has this authority, you are yelling at me! Surfing? Break the ice? Hit an enemy ship?

Soback was so stuck that he almost vomited blood. At this time, he had already felt the tilt of the ship. He finally remembered that he seemed to be the most powerful psyker on this ship, and he was also an "explorer" with excellent spiritual sense, so he continued to hold the safety buckle tightly with one hand, and turned the safety buckle with the other hand. Opened a data panel.

Now, he has completely shared vision with key departments such as the captain, lookout, and chief engineer.

"Contact time 45 seconds!" The technical sergeant finally completed the analysis.

"Full left rudder, forward 4, avoid with all your strength!" Soback moved his left hand with force.

"This may cause a collision with the Natural Herald! We should maintain the course, and the left rudder cannot exceed 45, forward 3!" Captain Peggese responded with a louder voice.

"Contact time is 30 seconds!" the technical sergeant shouted again.

"Listen to the captain!" Soback immediately gave in without hesitation. Although he can also sail a boat, he is not as well-trained as Peggese, and he really doesn't have much confidence in himself.

What he didn't know was that his surrender to the knight moved the captain and the crew around him. In fact, in this case, even if you know, there is absolutely no room for complacency.

Captain Peggese roared again, and the helm, which was fully operated, dragged the huge hull into a delicate arc movement.

From a third-party perspective, the silky movement trajectory of Yutu at this time should be called art, right?

But then again, why are you yelling? Soback still wanted to complain.

But at this moment, the ship that was still turning to the left began to tremble violently, like an overwhelmed old car, using the tremors of all its parts to accuse the world of own oppression.

Soback felt like his teeth were almost knocked out.

When he could start to speak, he suddenly realized that the entire ship was tilting in the opposite direction.

"captain!"

Captain Peggese in the front row trembled and turned back to Soback, his face vaguely expressionless, but vaguely saying everything.

In less than a second, to Soback, it seemed like a century had passed. Then, the captain gave a thumbs up: "Sir, the main balancer is down! Hahahaha, our ship is out of balance! I warned you."

"..." Yes, I have already remembered it! But why did this thing crash so quickly?

"But there is good news. The engines and life support systems are all fine! And we have avoided at least half of them."

What does it mean to avoid half of it? Just as Soback was about to say this, the positron beam coming through the thorns had already rendered the entire bridge like a helium flash scene.

At that moment, Soback felt like his naked eyes had been deprived of his sight. The battlecruiser Royal Rabbit he was in was like a small boat in the stormy sea. He did feel the shaking of the ship's hull, and even caught the heat of the explosion, and his ears were already filled with various warning sounds.

However, Soback's fear did not last long. As a psyker, he quickly realized that the Royal Rabbit had been hit, but not completely.

Specifically, our own maneuver just now has indeed avoided the direct hit of the enemy's fortress' main artillery. At least it avoided most of the positions.

However, the power of the fortress's main gun cannot be underestimated. Even the damage caused by scratching is enough to cause huge damage to Yutu.

...What the hell, if the balancer hadn't gone out of control just now, we would have completely avoided the bombardment.

But no matter what, at least everyone survived.

When the shaking stopped, Soback quickly ordered: "Quick, everyone, go immediately to confirm the damage to the ship and personnel. Captain, Captain Pegasus, are you still alive?"

"Still, still alive..." Captain Peggese let out a dying lament, and then seemed to understand something, and his voice regained vitality again: "Ah wow hahaha, I am still alive! Everyone is still alive! "

In fact, not only the captain, but also the bridge suffered almost no damage. Except for the two unlucky guys who were forced to smash their heads on the floor during the violent shaking just now, there were no casualties.

As a result, these elite crew members, after being inspired by Miss Serlu's large-scale spiritual techniques, quickly returned to work under the leadership of the captain.

"The hull has regained balance and the damage control team is handling it."

"The engine is fully functional, maintains stable output, and begins to slow down."

"The middle part of the hull was hit by the positron aftermath, and the shield reacted. The C-12 to 16 cabins lost contact, and B6 was forced to isolate."

Soback sighed. Just this news means that at least four to five hundred crew members lost their lives.

But no matter what, it was a blessing that a mere battle cruiser was sneak-attacked by the fortress's main gun and only caused such a little damage.

At this time, he heard Serlu shouting: "Sir Yeager, what do you think of that?"

When Soback heard the sound, he saw the majestic Natural Crest in the distance outside the porthole. This giant ship, which was more than three times as long as the Royal Rabbit, seemed to be a palace built of steel by the gods. It seemed that it had always stood in the starry sky from the eternity of time.

If you ignore the fire burning somewhere on the hull, the Titan will still remain majestic.

By the way, wasn't the Natural Crest preparing to fire its main gun just now? The cannon muzzles on the bow of the ship were glowing, why did they stop now?

So, what happened? Soback and his friends looked at each other, puzzled.
