"Lord Earl, after this warp speed, we will be able to escape the gravitational turbulence of this pulsar. From now on, we will briefly enter a stable star area, and finally reach the star area near the destination."

In the center of the Sapphire Galaxy is a pulsar that emits dazzling blue light, hence the name Sapphire Galaxy. The pulsar releases a powerful electromagnetic field at any time, which can interfere with man-made signals, making it easier for the fleet to hide.

"Very good. Once we are out of the shadow of this galaxy, the most dangerous part of the journey is left. There may be scouts from Weigel's fleet nearby, so we must be vigilant.

Don't linger on the road, rush all the way to join the main force of the family in Wright's hands, and we will be safe."

Most of the Marsh family's secrets were on board. No matter how sophisticated the old earl was, he would inevitably be on tenterhooks and give a few more instructions while his face was calm.

In the final analysis, the accompanying escort force was still too small.

He brought all the available cruisers and guards in his family during this trip, but he did not have a battleship, which made the force at his hands a bit weak and extremely insecure.

This time he brought with him all the elites of the family. They paid great attention to the instructions of the family leader and monitored everything around them with all their energy.

Just when the immigrant fleet was about to sail out of the Sapphire Galaxy, a large white light suddenly flashed at the entrance to the channel at the edge of the galaxy. Amid the shock and anger of the Marsh family members, a huge Vegel fleet broke away from the warp speed and arrived in an instant.

It firmly blocked the way forward for the Marsh family fleet.

Amidst the piercing sirens, Earl Coote turned pale and wanted to roar but swallowed it back alive.

He can't panic at this time.

"Calm down!

Immediately order cargo spaceships No. 8 to 12 to move forward to serve as a bunker, and the escort fleet will intercept the Weigel people on the spot. The other ships will turn around and evacuate immediately along the same route!"

The family members brought by Earl Coote were extremely loyal. More importantly, their family members were all on the five immigrant ships. Therefore, after Coote issued an almost fatal order, several abandoned transport ships and convoys were still there.

He rushed forward without hesitation.

The battle was about to break out, and this vastly different battle quickly became intense. Under the mysterious blue space, bright lines of fire and light groups stretched for thousands of kilometers.

The environment of this sapphire galaxy is very unique.

In fact, in addition to being unable to communicate conventionally, use radar, or travel at warp speed here, the spacecraft shield is also unavailable.

This resulted in a rather unique way of fighting the fleet here.

A simple summary is - fighting each other in the face.

Because the sensor fails, the target will miss if the firing distance is too far, and the guided weapon becomes garbage.

The communication equipment failed, so the spacecraft could only rely on light signals to communicate with each other. During the battle, they were far away and could not see what their own people were saying.

Both sides have no shields, so the artillery fire after the battle is all about punching and punching, depending on which side has stronger firepower and harder armor.

These changes in the rules of engagement have undoubtedly amplified the strength gap between the two warring parties, turning the Marsh family's resistance into a fantasy. The four Blood Blade battleships of the Weigel fleet are existences that they cannot penetrate at all.

and,

The inability to warp here also limits the escape of the Marsh family. They can only use the conventional engine of the spacecraft to evacuate. The warp engine of the cargo ship may be very fast, but the conventional engine is as slow as a tortoise.

After all, a good engine means a simultaneous increase in cost, quality, and volume, making it too luxurious to use on a cargo ship.

It was precisely because of the special environment here that the Weigel people chose the ambush point here. It can be said that if no one disrupts the situation, the Marsh family's fleet will be unable to fly.

"How could this happen... This is a premeditated ambush. How could the other party know the specific movements of the fleet..."

Watching the cursors representing his own cruisers disappear one by one, Count Coote gradually despaired. He didn't even know that he had been betrayed by his good son.

At this moment, his mind was in a mess and he could no longer think of any way to reverse the situation.

Now only hyperspace communication is available on the ship. He has asked his son for help, but according to the original plan, Viscount Wright's response fleet is three galaxies away from here and cannot catch up with him in a short time.

Even if they can come, how can 4 Jaeger-class ships fight against 4 Blood Blade-class ships?

Could it be that this huge family fortune will be ruined in my own hands today?

While he was in a trance, another Arquitectus-class ship came to an end. The family members on the ship were very bloody. They drove the burning battleship into the Vegel cruiser beside them, and finally turned into a ball of fire.

In just ten minutes, half of the more than 20 cruisers he brought had sunk.

The enemy fleet was only slightly injured. The opponent even walked around a few cargo ships that were used as bunkers. They would rather take a few more shots than take them into their pockets.

This shows that the Weigel people did not take the Marsh family's desperate counterattack seriously at all.

This is also true. The fleet that Earl Coote left behind was delayed for less than half an hour at best, and then began to collapse.

The remaining cruisers were rushed forward by the Vegel battleship. The fierce gunfire paralyzed their power, and then a large number of nail-like landing craft ejected towards the paralyzed ship, hammering into the interior of the hull. A large number of fully armed maintenance personnel poured into the cabin.

Pirates of Gorr.

"Master, the escort fleet cannot be stopped. 13 ships have been completely destroyed and the rest have been paralyzed. The ships are being invaded by the enemy! What should we do?"

Count Coote's flagship is the only remaining cruiser in the fleet, and it is also the most maneuverable among the fleeing fleet. If they abandon everything and escape the same way, the Weigel people probably won't make trouble for a small cruiser.

.

The captain anxiously asked the old count what he meant. He hoped that Kurt would abandon the slow transport ship and escape alone.

Earl Coote's heart completely sank to the bottom, his expression management was on the verge of losing control, and his face could not hide the despair and ferocity.

It's over...it's all over...

Finally, Count Coote sighed and was unable to speak:

"I order to give up..."

"Master, there is a situation!"

Count Coote's words were suddenly interrupted. He looked at the captain angrily. The captain's face was uncertain, and he quickly said: "The optical sensor detected an unknown flash behind the Weigel fleet and is analyzing it..."

"What flash, spacecraft tail flame?"

Earl Coote's brain was a little down at this time, so what he asked was a bit superficial.

The experienced captain didn't pay attention. He quickly retrieved the images collected by the optical sensor and was a little shocked:

"Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it seems to be the band that appears when the hyperspace window is expanded... It's true, someone is using this as a coordinate to perform a hyperspace jump! It's very large... It's an entire fleet!"

The captain of the Marsh family didn't know what he was excited about. It might be the expectation of seeing changes in a desperate situation, or he simply wanted to see the Weigel people suffer.

It is obvious that this mysterious fleet that is about to arrive does not belong to the Weigel people in front, otherwise they would have come together long ago.

Who could it be...

After more than ten seconds, the answer was revealed. It was a mysterious fleet with inconsistent warship styles. Not only that, the symbols that appeared in the fleet were also very different.

More than one force, a mixed army?

Earl Coote and his captain were both confused and curious. They now had a bit of a throwaway mentality. Anyway, they had already prepared for the worst. No matter what the outcome was, they would most likely die.

So they observed the mysterious fleet that suddenly arrived with great interest, hoping that the other party would bring them some different kinds of excitement.

They were lucky, and their wish soon became a reality, but the stimulation was a bit too intense.

Combined fleet flagship Tianshu, inside the battle command center.

"Haha, the timing and position calculated by Yutu to jump out are just right. It can save us a lot of effort. Let's get started!"

Lu Feng ordered calmly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

The Weigel fleet in front of us belongs to the lord who covets the Qianyan Galaxy. Although we haven't found out who it is yet, it is definitely right to cut through the mess quickly and cut off one of his arms first.

There is no problem of provocation and enmity at all. The other party is coming to the Qianyan Galaxy. This enmity has already been forged long ago. If the two sides are determined to fight to the death, it is better to start a war in advance and take the initiative.

As long as the opponent loses this main fleet, it remains to be seen whether there will be follow-up attacks.

"Target, enemy Bloodblade-class battleship, forward, 13-22A, attack number set to No. 1, particle beam cannon 80% charged, fire!"

Because the battlefield was chosen by Lu Feng long ago, the specific environment of the Sapphire Galaxy has already been investigated clearly.

After the Tianshu battleship left hyperspace, the main reactor energy surged, the hyperspace drive energy returned, directly bypassing the shield system, and was all transferred to the weapon system, and the main gun energy was instantly filled.

The same was true for the sister ships Tianquan and Yuheng. The bows of the three giant ships simultaneously lit up with bright green light, and in front of the black main guns, there seemed to be flying green light clusters converging inward.

As early as when the combined fleet appeared, the Weigel people's intelligence started to sound like crazy. Although their attention was always focused on the fleeing Marsh family, the passive optical sensors still discovered the sudden abnormal flash.

The experienced Weigel people turned the ship around in panic, hoping to meet the enemy from the bow.

However, their fleet formation at this time had already been stretched into an extremely narrow shape due to the pursuit of the Marsh family. The fast cruiser had rushed thousands of kilometers away and was entangled with the only remaining Aquitens class of the Marsh family.

The remaining battlecruisers and battleships were concentrated at the edge of the battlefield, with their bows pointing neatly at the battlefield ahead. The hulls were staggered forward and backward, and were randomly arranged for more than ten kilometers, like a long snake of different thicknesses.

This is related to the fact that most of the Weigel people are not from a professional background. Although they are experienced and courageous, their fighting style is informal and they will not deliberately maintain a neat formation during normal operations.

Therefore, when the enemy suddenly appears behind the fleet, the crowded battleships will inevitably experience some confusion and collision due to the crowded space.

Normally, this would only allow them to take a few shots at most, and the shield would protect them from any pain or itch.

But when three intense green beams of light descended, they realized in horror that they now had no shield and could not stop the three devastating main cannons.

The next moment, three beams of light converged on target battleship No. 1.

The target battleship had just turned halfway at this moment, and the raging high-energy particle flow instantly broke through its side armor, and then invaded all the way to the interior, melting all the way, burning everything, detonating energy, igniting ammunition, vaporizing materials, and finally the remaining power was not exhausted.

of spewed out from the other end of the hull.

The Blood Blade-class battleship was originally slender, but at this moment, it was blasted directly through three particle cannons.

A large hole with a diameter of tens of meters appeared in the middle of the seemingly heavy hull. The edge of the hole was filled with twisted metal that had been melted and cooled, as well as ferocious tooth marks caused by burning and explosions. The air in the ship kept spurting outward, throwing countless fragments into the air.

and corpses were thrown out of the ship. The fire burning the oxygen inside the ship was raging. Through the flames and thick smoke, the starry sky on the other side of the battleship could be vaguely seen.

"Target No. 1 suffered heavy damage and has lost its combat capability!"

"That's right, keep fighting."

Lu Feng smiled slightly. He calculated mentally and unintentionally. He had the right time and place, and had superior weapons. This result was not surprising.

After the three Rift-class ships opened fire, the weapon systems of the remaining warships were finally ready. It was not a little slow, but fortunately the Vegels were also on the same page.

Taking advantage of the sneak attack, the combined fleet took the lead and started firing salvos.

During this trip, in addition to Shentang's first fleet, the combined fleet also incorporated all the battle cruisers from the other four companies of Tianji Star, a total of 11 ships, as well as a large number of modified captured cruisers.

Together, the scale of the combined fleet has exceeded 100 ships, and the smallest unit among them is also a cruiser!

The lineups lined up in this way and opened fire wantonly. Although they were only ahead of the Weigel people by just 5 seconds, the effect was really different.

In a few seconds, naval guns of various calibers and types sprayed tens of thousands of projectiles at Weigel's main position.

There are small and medium-caliber rapid-fire cannons, large-caliber main guns, ion beam cannons, turbo laser cannons, and high-energy lasers. There are many types, and they are colorful when fired, but what is certain is that these silent attacks are quite deadly.

The fleets of both sides are so close that there is almost no possibility of defeat.

As a result, the combined fleet's first round of firepower hit the enemy's hull firmly. The four battleships that bore the brunt were swallowed up by the dense explosion flames. The solid armor surface was like a shower of meteors and fire, and was violently blasted.

The impact and explosion created many craters and uneven areas.

The hull hit by the laser showed obvious ablation marks, the armor material was directly vaporized, and the flat metal plate became ugly, charred and messy.

The equipment exposed on the surface of the ship's hull was completely destroyed. A large area was destroyed by too fierce artillery fire. Accidents occurred frequently, such as sensor failure, energy node misfire, turret explosion, steering engine failure, etc.

The most important thing is that the Weigel battleship's limited secondary battery firepower was directly suppressed by one third of the firepower.

So the counterattack that followed was not as powerful as they imagined.

Compared with the artillery fire from the opposite side, which was like splashing water, the counterattack here was like water cannons.

"As the fleet moves forward, move closer to engage them in a battle. Don't let the other side use the bow firepower!"

Lu Feng gave the order decisively.

The boarding battle he mentioned was limited to driving the warships alongside the enemy to take advantage of the broadside firepower to bombard the opponent indiscriminately, rather than actually ramming into the opponent and engaging in a gang fight.

The combined fleet has an obvious firepower advantage, and it can kill the opponent with a blast without jumping into any gangs.

This is just to reduce casualties.

On the Tianshu, Captain Li Huan commanded the battle calmly. The huge battleship commanded like an arm, and passed the enemy battleship with a thrilling maneuver. When the two ships intersected, Li Huan shouted loudly:

"Fire all the bombs, let go!"

The next second, the three main guns of the Tianshu, several cannons on the sides, and the ion beam turret opened fire at the same time. The attack came in an instant, creating a terrifying sea of ​​fire on the opponent's hull.

The nine large-caliber main guns fired close to the face. The shells penetrated the side of the enemy ship with maximum kinetic energy and exploded inside the ship. The side of the enemy battleship suddenly burst into flames. The huge fireball directly lifted the two turrets away and smashed them heavily.

On top of the installation of the Tianshu.

After the fire, one side of the enemy battleship was completely blown to pieces, and the twisted hull was shattered into pieces.

But at the same time, the opponent's attack also hit the Tianquan.

Because the distance was too close, the battleship directly forcibly launched the heavy anti-ship missile. The missile did not need to be guided. As soon as it came out of the barrel, it directly hit the hull of the Tianshu and caused a violent explosion.

There was a faint flash of lightning on the surface of the Tianshu's hull, but eventually part of the hull was damaged, and the polarized armor was temporarily offline.

but,

After all, the defense of the Tianshu was much stronger than that of the opponent. Given the huge difference in firepower, compared with the destroyed enemy ship, the Tianshu could only be considered slightly injured.

Compared with the battleship's one-shot attack, the battlecruiser's battlefield is more gorgeous and more tragic.

Tragic is how the Weigel people are described.

If the broadside firepower of the Blood Blade class battleship is only "not strong", then the broadside firepower of the Shining Halberd can only be described as "poor".

Although there are a lot of shining halberds, everyone can fight in close combat.

The 11 battlecruisers belonging to the Sky Star ejected strong tail flames, gave up charging the Yamato cannon, and forced their way into the enemy formation to engage in a melee.

The design of the battlecruiser is like a fish in water in a melee. The ats laser cannons spread all over the body can fire at 360°. The high-energy lasers are like a rain of fire splashing on the passing enemy warships, and the ship plates of the hit parts are strongly burned.

Erosion quickly became riddled with holes.

The unprotected cabin was hit by the attack, and explosions occurred frequently, one after another, which was quite spectacular.

Although each explosion is not serious, the advantage is that the frequency is extremely high.

In just tens of seconds of fighting, a Shining Halberd was sandwiched between two Behemoth-class ships and was beaten. The surface of the ship's hull was washed over and over again by the laser fire rain, and all external firepower points were quickly paralyzed. What followed was unknown.

The hull was penetrated somewhere, instantly triggering an explosion within the ship. The entire battleship shone like a supernova, and finally turned into dust on the battlefield.

The two behemoths exchanged light signals to greet each other tacitly, and then turned their guns to fire at other enemy ships tacitly.

Weigel's main fleet also has an escort formation, but it's just not as numerous as Tianji's.

These weakly armored escort warships are sandwiched in the center of the battleship formation and often die the fastest.

There is no operation to use blind spots to avoid gunfire. At such a close distance, the battleship cannot outrun the turret speed. As long as there is a slight movement, the experienced gunners will take care of it in advance and use particularly enthusiastic gunfire to take care of those battleships that want to speculate.

.

As time went by, the artillery fire belonging to Weigel's side became weaker and weaker. Even if some warships from the front battlefield returned to support, they still could not restore the decline in the rear battlefield.

Defeat is only a matter of time.

However, just at this moment, there was another white light flashing at the edge of the galaxy. This time it was at a common warp speed, but it was extremely rare for a spacecraft to escape from warp speed.

Because this is a dreadnought ship.

The Dreadnought of the Vegls!

The other party called for reinforcements, and they arrived much earlier than expected!
