The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

The cooldown time of the battleship's main gun neutron lance is 150 seconds. The speed of the battleship at full speed exceeds 600,000 kilometers per hour. Even if the speed is lowered to 250,000 kilometers per hour, it just exceeds the maximum speed of 230,000 kilometers per hour of the Shataren battleship. .

The speed of 250,000 kilometers per hour is 69 kilometers per second, and 10,350 kilometers per second in 150 seconds, but in fact the battleship group stopped at about 9,000 kilometers.

Turn around and start charging the main gun.

Another wave of earth-shattering neutron light spear fire, and another 30 Shata battleships were destroyed.

The suppression of speed and range is so unsolvable. As long as you can't catch up and hit, you can only be passively beaten, unless you use the Doomsday main gun, or catch up with the ultra-high speed of the space fleet.

But at this time, there are only two doomsday main cannons and one doomsday electric arc on the side of the Shata Civilization. This is indeed unstoppable, but this thing only fires once in half an hour. Although Li Qing's battleship is not as good as the Shata people, there are still More than 800 ships can still bear these losses.

Needless to say, as for the aircraft fleet, at this time, the five aircraft carriers with a total of more than 1.8 million space fighters have lost nearly one-third, and they can't fight five against one, and there is no way to spare.

There are millions of space fighters in Star City. A Star City has a hangar capacity equivalent to four super aircraft carriers. A super aircraft carrier can accommodate 1.08 million space fighters. Four of them have a total of 4.32 million space fighters, plus four Starcastle can make up millions, a total of five or six million.

But Star City is too far away from the battlefield, and they won't be able to catch up for a while.

And it's useless to rush over, Li Qing still has a fleet of 700,000 aircraft on standby.

When it came to the end of Star City, the battleship group, the space fleet, the mixed formation of frigates, destroyers and cruisers, all four aspects were blocked from the front, and all fell into a disadvantage. This change in the battle situation was unexpected by Gu Shenzhou and others.

In his imagination, the Jialan Legion might have the power to fight, but it is only a fight, and it will definitely be a miserable victory.

The result was completely beyond his expectations. The Garan Legion, which had an absolute fleet disadvantage, actually suppressed the fleet of a division of the Shata Tribe, which had an absolute superiority in fleet capacity, in a frontal battle.

Of course, this was beyond the expectations of the commander of the Shata tribe.

I thought that it would be enough to defeat the fleet in front of me if I had an advantage of more than five times the force. After showing my strength, I would discuss the terms, but it turned out that I couldn't beat it, which was embarrassing.

The embarrassment is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that if you lose the battle, it means that you have no room to negotiate terms.

"How to do?"

The command room was terribly quiet. They were all intelligent creatures, and their reactions were no different from humans.

"Say, what's next?"

It was not until the commander asked for the second time that a staff officer said:

"We have two options. Use a dedicated line to contact the Cuerta Fortress, and ask them to transfer a brigade over there. It only takes one day for support to arrive, but the Cuerta Fortress needs to face a stronger force. The human fleet is under more pressure than us, and the fleet may not be able to be transferred over there."

"Another option is to bow to the empire and use a dedicated line to contact Locke Fortress. It will only take two days at most for the reinforcements to arrive. Our tribe still has a lot of power left. Even if we bow to the empire, we can still guarantee a certain seat. A certain status, so that they will not be reduced to the lower echelons of the empire like those few tribes are now."

"Besides, it's only a moment to bow your head now. He will always grow old and die. At that time, we will still have a chance to rise."

The staff officer paused, then said:

"Of course, you can directly submit conditions to humans, attach to humans as a vassal, and use human power to fight against him."

The command room was very quiet, and a few commanders murmured:

"Can't contact Quierta, the Human Expeditionary Force is very strong, and he can't dispatch the fleet."

"But I don't want to be a vassal of ugly humans, my people can't accept it."

The command room was quiet again.

"boom!"

A Titan arc shot into the Shata battleship group, the dazzling arc continuously jumped like a lightning chain, and the seven battleships turned into fireballs and were torn apart.

Li Qing found that without the damage from the Titan's light spear, although the two divine lights were not able to completely destroy Shata's flagship, they were still enough to disable a Shata aircraft carrier flagship and disintegrate its combat capability, which was actually a good thing.

In the first battle before, it was necessary to reduce the number of the opponent's flagships as much as possible to ensure the advantage. Now the opponent's flagship has been sunk with a total of six ships, especially four dreadnoughts. The advantage is gone, and there is no need to sink it at this time.

It's scrapped. Wouldn't it be good to wait for the prisoners to come over and repair it after the war?

Although the flagship of the Shata civilization is not as powerful as the flagship of humans, it is also a flagship. The power of its main gun is there, and it also has its own halo.

Even if you don't want to use it yourself, you can reward the three subordinates.

With the flagship in hand, the strength of the three of them will be greatly improved, and they will be able to stand alone.

No matter what they are asked to do in the future, or go out to take risks by themselves, the three of them have enough strength to stay at the headquarters and guard their homes.

With a thought in his mind, the door of the black hole opened, and the light of the God of Destruction pierced through the void again. After melting all the dozens of battleships including seven battleships in front of the aircraft carrier, the aftermath would be all over the place. The slow-moving aircraft carrier retreated hundreds of meters with a bang.

Immediately afterwards, the second divine light blasted out, and the thick armor on the surface of the aircraft carrier's huge body melted away, revealing the cabins. It was the same as the first aircraft carrier that Li Qing destroyed, but the trauma was not so severe. .

Li Qing deliberately chose an aircraft carrier with a large number of escort warships in front, allowing the dozens of large and small warships in front to block part of the power, otherwise the two divine lights would definitely bombard an aircraft carrier of the Shata Civilization kill.

It is worth mentioning that, as the flagship, the aircraft carrier is larger than the dreadnought because it has to accommodate a large number of space fighters, and its shield armor and hull are higher than the dreadnought, so it is naturally more difficult to handle.

"Next city!"

After making sure that the aircraft carrier will not explode, Li Qing is in a good mood. If he wins this battle, he should not earn too much.

It takes an hour to launch the Light of Divine Judgment, but each launch can affect the situation of the battle. The loss of an aircraft carrier will have a big impact on the people of Shata.

Although there are still two aircraft carriers that can control these space fighters, the number of fighters has exceeded the command limit of its command system, which will inevitably affect the battle.

The situation that was not an opponent was weakened again, and the gap has become wider.

However, although this wave of attacks did not directly destroy the aircraft carrier, it dealt a greater blow to the Shataren headquarters than directly destroying it. The commander-in-chief, who was still hesitating, finally made up his mind and ordered in a deep voice:

"Use a special line to contact Locke Fortress and ask them to send troops for support."

As soon as the words fell, the black sea spider man in a Chinese robe immediately stood up and objected loudly:

"We cannot bow to the Empire!"

The commander looked at him, and he continued to speak loudly:

"We have broken with the empire for more than 20 years, causing the empire to lose a lot of manpower and material resources. The current crisis of the empire is also caused by us. If you bow to the empire, do you know what will happen?"

All the Shata people were silent, only the commander-in-chief said:

"But if you don't bow to the empire, the alliance with humans will not end well."

"But on the one hand, there is bound to be no good end, and on the other hand, there are still some opportunities. How would you choose?"

"An intercourse with a foreign race will never end well. The worst outcome may be extermination. We are a member of the empire and originated from the same parent planet. The worst outcome is the same as those tribes, but at least the tribe can still exist. , there is still a chance to rise in the future.”

"He is a super psychic who can live for tens of thousands of years, and will become stronger in the future. After tens of thousands of years, our descendants will have long forgotten revenge."

"When His Majesty sent a special envoy, he promised to guarantee the existence of our tribe."

"He also made a promise to the Erfen people, let's see what happens to the Erfen people now."

Both sides fell silent.

After a while, a third person said:

"Since no one can convince anyone, then vote!"

All eyes were on him, and a few commanders said:

"Then vote, there are 37 people present, and those who agree to ask the empire for support raise their hands!"

Crashing, each high-level sea spider raised a spider arm.

"A total of twenty-one votes!"

The commander-in-chief said somewhat unexpectedly:

"It's more than half, and there is no need to vote in the future. Now I have decided to contact Locke Fortress to send troops to support and get through the immediate crisis first."

"Wait a moment."

The black sea spiderman stretched out his hand and shouted:

"Why don't you continue to vote? Maybe someone agrees with both options."

The commander-in-chief of the Shata people was a little helpless, and turned around and said:

"Then, if you agree to form an alliance with humans, please raise your hand!"

Hurrah, a large number of sea spidermen raised their hands again, their eyes swept away, and the commander-in-chief's face changed slightly.

Of the 37 people present, 21 raised their hands. He looked at some of the tribal dignitaries and asked:

"What are you?"

One of the sea spider dignitaries who raised his hand twice said:

"I think I can accept whether I bow to the empire or ally with humans, as long as my interests and asset safety can be guaranteed."

The other sea spiders who also raised their hands on both sides nodded and said the same thing as him.

"Both are 21 votes."

The black sea spider said loudly:

"They all have the same number of votes. It was originally a tie, but I received an entrustment from the commander-in-chief of the Cuerta Fortress two hours ago. His opinion is that if the battle is unfavorable, priority can be given to alliance with humans."

Someone in the command room suddenly exclaimed, and some people didn't believe it. He waved his hand and said:

"I know some people don't believe it, but it's true. Commander Cuerta told me that the level of civilization of human beings is higher than ours. They not only have stronger technology than us, but also super flagships like Titans. He is putting pressure on there. It’s very big, without support, he can’t guarantee that he can persevere forever, and he doesn’t rule out the possibility of surrendering to humans in desperate situations, so.”

He looked at the sea spider dignitaries and said loudly:

"Humans are very powerful, and even the empire may not be able to defeat them. We now form an alliance with them and sign an agreement to help mankind defeat the empire, so as to obtain the independent existence of the tribe. Even if it becomes a vassal, it is better than being unified by the empire. stronger self."

After everyone listened, there was a lot of discussion, but judging from the current situation, many vacillating people have begun to tend.

After a while, someone said:

"If Commander Quierta has a decision, then I take back what I just said and decide to support the alliance with humans."

"I agree."

"I agree."

In just a short while, seven or eight people changed their minds, and the black spider man looked at the commander-in-chief and said:

"Your Excellency, Commander, you have seen the result."

The commander-in-chief sighed:

"I saw."

The black spider-man nodded:

"Then contact the human fleet on the opposite side for a truce."

"Unfortunately, this may not work."

The commander-in-chief of the Shatarian fleet stood up under the astonished eyes of the sea spider dignitaries and the fleet staff group, and calmly announced:

"I had already contacted Locke Fortress a day ago and submitted a letter of surrender to the empire. Judging from the time, reinforcements from Locke Fortress will arrive a day later."

"you"

All the sea spidermen stood up in shock, and the black spiderman even pointed at him and shouted:

"You are betraying the tribe!"

But the commander-in-chief just clapped his hands blankly, the door of the command room was pushed open, and a group of heavily armed soldiers walked in, rushing straight to the many black spider dignitaries present.

"What are you doing? How dare you!"

No matter how much they yelled and cursed, they couldn't change the result of being taken down by the guards. After everyone was taken down, the commander turned his head and said with a blank expression:

"Everyone should take a good rest and let you out when the situation is stable."

The black sea spiderman pointed at him and cursed angrily:

"If you do this, the tribe will be in a desperate situation, and you are the sinner of the tribe."

"Press it down!"

He waved his hand expressionlessly, and the guards escorted away the many nobles who were still scolding, leaving only a few dignitaries who agreed with his decision.

Soon there were only a dozen people left in the command room. He took a long breath and said loudly:

"Time will prove that my choice is right!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and said to the staff group who was still in shock on the other side:

"I ordered the fleet to fight and retreat, the second brigade to gather and prepare for the rear, and the first and third brigades to prepare to retreat, all the way back to the Star City."

Li Qing, who was on the Titan, soon discovered the abnormal movement of the enemy fleet, thought for a while, and wondered:

"Are they trying to withdraw from Star City and use Star City's super firepower to contend with us?"

"But although Star City's firepower is strong, it can't change the situation."

He didn't think too much about it, so he just withdrew, it was easy to come out, but not so easy to go back, and the speed of fighting and retreating was definitely not as fast as before, and he couldn't go back for more than ten hours.

Ten hours is enough to sink all the flagships and destroy the opponent's remaining fleet, leaving at least one-third of the warships. Even with the fire support of Star City, there will be no trouble.

He looked at Chuyuan and said nothing, but Chuyuan nodded as if he knew what he wanted to say, and quickly issued a series of targeted fleet mobilization orders.
