The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2011. Siege of Hisra (Part 2)

"The enemy fleet is confirmed to be incoming! It is 1.2 light minutes away from the planet Hisla!"

"Start the engine! Raise the shield! The close-in defense artillery team is in position immediately!"

"The engine is warming up! It is expected to take 20 minutes to reach full power!"

"Requesting the fighter jet formation to take off from the planet Hesla for cover!" On the Red Comet 3, combat personnel from various departments were already in place.

These are all the best and most elite naval officers of the Principality of Dawn, and unlike other warships in the Navy of the Principality of Dawn, which generally have more than 60% of robot crews, the 14,000 people who control the warship on Red Comet III are all humans!

Tang Xiao, on the other hand, took Adele Wulan, Tang Xing, Tang Yun, Leia and other family members to sit on the bridge and watch the large-scale battle that was about to break out.

There was no tension visible on his face.

However, Adele Ulan and several children looked very nervous, with their eyes fixed on the holographic projection. Especially Tang Yun. She grabbed Adele by the hem of her clothes and gritted her teeth, but her eyes were filled with anger.

"Your Majesty, it will take another 20 minutes for our battleship engine to reach full power. Before that, we may need to defend passively." The captain came over and said.

Tang Xiao nodded and said calmly: "Do your own thing. You don't have to report everything to me. Prepare my spaceship and don't worry about the rest."

"yes!"

The biggest problem for the defenders of the planet Hisla now is this - because they never expected that the enemy could cross the node of the hyperspace channel and directly reach the planet Hisla, all the warships defending here are on standby.

To be precise, apart from some small warships that are on daily duty, other warships stationed on the planet Hisla will be docked in their berths and in standby mode. It is estimated that this process takes an hour for a battleship to go from a completely cold engine state to a fully started engine.

Now in the middle of a war, even if the battleship is on standby, the engine will keep warming up, but even so, it will take anywhere from 10 minutes to half an hour to reach full power output. During this period of time, although the battleship cannot be said to be unable to move at all, it is certainly unable to reach its peak state.

"General! The enemy fleet divided its forces and began to attack!" The radar soldier turned back and reported to the captain, "There are 60 warships maneuvering in the direction of Eternal! Another 140 warships are moving towards our ship! The remaining warships maintain a gathering posture and move forward steadily."

"Where is the fighter formation on the planet Hisla?" the captain asked.

"The fighter formation of the planet Hisla has taken off and will arrive on the battlefield in 30 minutes! The Eternal has taken off 180 fighter jets, including 80 ghost fighters, 60 Viking fighters, and 40 saber fighters! In addition, the planet Hisla 200 fighter jets have taken off from the surrounding space stations and have arrived on the battlefield!”

The captain looked back at Tang Xiao, who was expressionless, and loudly issued an order, "Let the fighter jets arriving on the battlefield cover the Eternal Super Aircraft Carrier! Our ship continues to move forward and attack head-on!"

"yes!"

"No!!!!" However, at this time, a sharp cry came from the side, and Tang Yun was seen pointing at the captain and shouting, "Why is our battleship advancing!! Why can't the fighter formation not Protect us! Grand Duke Liang is here! Let the fighter come back and protect us!"

At this moment, Tang Yun's beautiful, delicate, and immature face was full of anger, and there were tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.

The captain was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. He turned back and stared at Tang Xiao.

However, Tang Xiao still maintained his sitting posture and said calmly: "See what I do? I remember I told you, leave me alone and do what you should do."

"Father!" Tang Yun looked at Tang Xiao, his big watery eyes full of grievances.

However, Tang Xiao just said lightly: "This is a rare opportunity, let's experience the battlefield."

"This ship continues to move forward!" The captain turned around and gave the order loudly.

"The enemy ship's missile is incoming! Close-in defense artillery fire!" came the voice from the fire control department.

At this moment, the first wave of thousands of missiles from Grisk's hegemonic fleet has arrived! The more than 2,000 close-in defense guns on the Red Comet III were fully fired, instantly forming a dense fire net around the battleship!

Missiles were intercepted and destroyed one after another, and countless brilliant fires bloomed in space. At this time, the fighter jet formations that had entered the combat area flew towards those missiles, intercepting them with short-range combat missiles and laser cannons.

Layer after layer of interception nets, most of the thousands of missiles were destroyed!

boom! boom! boom! ! There was a dull explosion inside the battleship! It was a violent explosion when a few missiles that slipped through the net landed on the deflector shield of the warship.

Hearing the explosion, Tang Yun's face became paler and her body trembled. But because Tang Xiao was still sitting there as steady as a mountain, she could only sit with Tang Xiao.

Noticing her daughter's condition, Adele Ulan took her daughter's soft little hand and patted it gently.

At the same time, the Eternal super aircraft carrier was also retreating hastily, looking a little embarrassed. However, the more than 1,100 close-in defense guns and short-range missile launchers on the warship were still firing wildly, forming a barrage of fire around the warship.

The missiles of Grisk's hegemonic fleet are still flowing in endlessly, and at the same time, the first wave of assault warships are getting closer and closer!

60 high-speed battleships have approached the Eternal. They began to launch fighter jets. At the same time, the battleship's main guns also fired at full strength!

None of the races and civilizations in the unknown star field have blaster weapon technology, so all their warships use laser weapons. The range is short, but there is no need to aim, it hits when fired.

The scorching beams of light shone on the Eternal and were completely blocked by the deflector shield, but the violent energy reaction still left countless ripples outside the deflector shield.

The Eternal was still desperately retreating in an attempt to distance itself. Facing the frenzied siege of 60 high-speed battleships, such fights were not what the Endless-class super aircraft carrier was good at.

The high-speed battleships that besieged the Eternal are about 400 meters long. They are all sharp in shape, like a ferocious bone spur. On the bow of the battleship is a powerful laser cannon, which is the main gun of the battleship. On both sides of the battleship, there are There are more small spur-like structures that are also constantly firing and emitting lasers.

At this time, from the Eternal's spaceport, the Steadfast-class cruisers and Double-Blade-class electronic warfare light cruisers had completed their activation, and they left the spaceport in a vertical attitude to join the battle.

And according to the order, the fighter jets that took off from the Eternal rushed towards the 60 high-speed battleships!

At the same time, the few carrier-based aircraft surrounding those high-speed battleships also bravely attacked! (End of chapter)
