Chapter 1184 Melee (2)

For example, the Whale Shark-class battleship of the Monya Empire has two 1200MM dual cannon turrets at the bow, one 1000MM dual cannon turret at the stern, and six 420MM electromagnetic railguns on each side of the ship. It is already an extreme configuration, close to the maximum load of the system. .

But for the Whale Shark-class battleship of the Bahamut Pirates, there are three 1000MM triple rail cannons arranged at different heights on the front deck, a large-caliber plasma cannon at the stern, and 10 electromagnetic rail guns on each string. There are small and large, used to deal with various enemy ships. In addition, some important parts are also equipped with many rapid turrets to provide melee firepower.

To put it bluntly, this is a steel porcupine armed to the teeth, with sharp thorns all over its body.

To carry out this level of modification, unless a powerful reactor is replaced, there is no way to afford a huge resource consumption. There is another possibility... These cannons are decorations, things used to scare people.

The battleships of the Bahamut Pirates are ostentatious? Is it possible? Totally impossible!

Although the Bahamut Pirates are not as mysterious as the Third Committee, compared with the Apollo Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates, and Cobra Pirates, there are only few official and private records. Most people know that they are very strong, but they don't have a very clear understanding of how strong they are, so that some people doubt that they can compete with the Third Committee.

Of course they can't compete with the Third Council, but they are indeed much stronger than the warships of the general pirate group and the warships of sovereign countries.

The flames are in full bloom, the rays are like rain, and neon lights of various colors pass through the big screen, and fall on the battleship array of the Date Republic headed by the Dark Night Walker that is chasing the Yeliuli, which inevitably creates chaos. Several warships were shot because they could not avoid it. Fire up and retreat to the rear to avoid the pursuit of naval guns.

Hader Lee hastily dispatched Christel to clean the surface in a high-altitude orbit, and the Date Republic ship that chased and killed the Morning Star foundry staff went to the airspace where the Nightwalker was located, and fought back the attack of the Bahamut Pirates with all their strength.

The safety door of the Yeliuli bridge opened, and Kylinia, who had just woken up, walked in from the outside, with an unresolved scowl on her face, and it seemed that she was planning to ask the teacher for the crime of Aliena's knocking her unconscious.

She was about to speak when she suddenly realized that everyone was not paying attention to herself. Following their gaze, she was taken aback when she saw the strange armed forces that suddenly appeared on the big screen in the inner area of ​​the Dilar star system. Asked: "Who is that?"

The communication line between Liliatta and the Ye Liuli has been disconnected, so she is naturally unaware of what happened just now, and at the same time, she is very sure that those battleships are not owned by Morning Star, so she will naturally have many puzzles.

"It's the Bahamut Pirates!" Someone nearby responded.

"Bahamut Pirates?" She raised her pointed eyebrows, obviously she didn't expect those pirate organizations who rely on looting for a living to be so kind and righteous, facing thousands of ships from the Republic Security Forces and the Night Breeze Assault Fleet Warships also dared to lend a helping hand to Morningstar Forge.

Although Tang Fang valued the Bahamut Pirates very much, in fact, Kylenia didn't trust Lilietta very much, because neither she nor Captain Tang himself had much confidence in this dark horse-style pirate armed force. learn.

She originally thought that the alliance between Liliatta and Morningstar was just a strategic investment, and that the flirting with Tang Fang was just a joke, but she didn't expect that at this critical moment, the Bahamut Pirates showed surprising behavior Courage and the spirit of contract.

Yes, courage and bond...not courage and camaraderie. This is the biggest difference between her and Claire.

She has always been very rational, which is why Tang Fang trusts her with many things.

"You're awake." Kudelia finally noticed her arrival: "This is the Bahamut Pirates that you have been guarding secretly."

This sentence is a bit harsh, which is very Kudelia.

Kyrenia didn't care about her sarcasm, and the anger that had just entered the bridge dissipated, and suddenly felt that this guy with a sharp mouth and a bean curd heart was very interesting. Obviously she was worried about herself, instigated Aliena to be tied to the boat in that way, turned her face and said such hurtful words again.

Is Miss Kudelia mean by nature, or...she needs to use this method to maintain that aloof temperament that no strangers should enter? If it's the latter...it's really cute, and it's completely two extremes with her father.

Perhaps, she has always used this method to win her father's attention.

Perhaps it was for this reason that she never had a boyfriend.

What a simple child.

Suddenly thinking that Melore had died, Kylinia felt sorry for her again, and then recalled her father, the meticulous and strict man, finally sighed, stopped thinking about it, and took advantage of the warp speed engine. Looking at the ships of the Bahamut Pirates during the gap that is not fully activated, I hope to take this opportunity to have a clearer and more intuitive understanding of this somewhat mysterious pirate organization.

Behind the Yeliuli and its escort fleet, the warships belonging to the Bahamut Pirates have already exchanged fire with the warships of the Date Republic headed by the Dark Night Walker. In the absence of reinforcements from the Republic's security forces, even if the Republic of Date has There are more than 500 warships, far more than the Bahamut Pirates, but judging from the firepower, the latter is even better.

The Night Walker is a good player in the sneak attack. It can approach the mission target in a stealthy gliding posture like a warship equipped with a zero particle space effect field generator, without fear of being discovered by sovereign state quantum radar, lidar and other reconnaissance equipment. But in this kind of head-to-head confrontation, it cannot play the role of the mainstay.

There is a battleship at the core of the Bahamut Pirates battle formation. Although the painting style is the same as those modified battleships, anyone who looks at it will recognize that it is a relic battleship, and it is also a very valuable relic battleship.

It is Lilietta's car and the flagship of the Bahamut Pirates. It has always been known only as the Dragon King's Heart.

Just like its name, it is the heart of "Bahamut", but also the sharp claws and fangs of "Bahamut", the mainstay of the battlefield.

Whether it is Kudelia, Aliena, Kyrenia, or the bridge staff of the Yeliuli, even Miss Tang Yun, who seems to have lost her soul for half a year, is very clear that it is a Transcendent Angel No. battleship.

No, to put it bluntly, none of the relic warships owned by Morningstar Forge is worth as much as it.

This is a powerful battleship with both offense and defense. The attack mentioned here does not refer to its weapon system, but the command capability corresponding to the Angel. It is precisely because of its powerful intelligence processing system and tactical deduction system that the more than 300 warships of the Bahamut Pirates have an amazing ability to cooperate, making the opponent completely fall into their attack rhythm.

The defense here does not refer to the starlight shield carried by the Heart of the Dragon King, but an unmanned aerial vehicle system.

The Heart of the Dragon King is a giant ship with a body length of nearly 700 meters, larger than the aircraft carrier-class aircraft of a sovereign country, and slightly inferior to the Angel. It is equipped with hundreds of relic drones and advanced remote control modules.

These drones are much larger than the aerospace fighters of sovereign countries, are pyramid-shaped, and have certain attack capabilities. However, in this battle, they did not show such a powerful offensive force. Instead, they formed a group of three and wandered around their own fleet, creating a very special mobile shield to resist enemy ships. artillery fire.

What is shocking is that this kind of shield constructed by the drone is very powerful, and it is slightly inferior to the aurora shield configured on the Morningstar.

Under the control of the command system of the Dragon King's Heart, the Bahamut Pirates fleet and the pyramid drones have a perfect coordination mechanism, and then exert a very terrifying power.

In Kyrenia's view, if this was a life-and-death fight with no way out, the Republic Security Forces and the Nightwind Assault Fleet would have to pay at least half of their forces if they wanted to wipe out the Bahamut Pirates. In other words, more than 2,000 warships will be buried here.

You must know that they are not the lord fleet like the Cangshi Fleet and the Sandra Fleet, but the Special Guard of the Sword of the Oath of the Sauron Empire, the Royal Navy of the Monya Empire, the Hydra Legion, the St. Anthony Fleet of the Sulu Empire, the Star The elite armed forces of the Date Republic are as famous as the Spartacus Alliance and other military forces.

Relying on the Dragon King's Heart, the Bahamut Pirates are on par... no, it should be said to surpass the strength of the fleet of a sovereign state.

No wonder the Bahamut Pirates were able to make a name for themselves in the Tiannest star area and became the strongest pirate group under the Third Council.

The image outside the window was replaced by fast-flowing light, Yeliuli has entered the virtual space and left the Dilar star system. However, everyone's mood did not calm down, because of the sneak attack by the Republic Security Forces and the Night Breeze Assault Fleet, and because of the Bahamut Pirates' help.

………………

The news that the Yeliuli and its frigates had safely evacuated reached the bridge of the Dragon King's Heart. Liliatta glanced at the virtual sand table and told the ships to hold on for a while and try to help as many transport aircraft out of danger, no matter whether they are morning stars or not. Casting still belongs to the construction company, or the environmental improvement enterprise.

As the Republic Security Forces abandoned the bombing of the Cristal Industrial Park and put a large number of troops into the battle plan against the Bahamut Pirates, the battle damage began to appear. After all, drones are an auxiliary defense system, not an absolute barrier that is immune to all damage.

Ruskin looked at the battle images on the big screen with complicated emotions.

In all fairness, the Bahamut Pirates have been very benevolent and have won time for many people to escape. He can safely lead his few ships to make a final fight.

They were now surrounded by enemy ships, and it was impossible to activate the warp drive and get out of the battlefield under these conditions. The Bahamut Pirates were too busy to take care of themselves and had no chance to help them at all. Therefore, his only result is to die in battle on this land.

Speaking of which, this is not his hometown, and there is no beloved wife and children here, but he never thought of regretting his past choices. He used to be a soldier, and the values ​​of dying for the mission, fighting for the honor, and bearing for the choice have been deeply rooted in his heart. Since he decided to stay in the morning star forging, he has already made full psychological preparations.

This has nothing to do with worth or not, it's about a man's responsibility.

"No matter who can survive, remember to help us collect the body, I know... that will be harder than fighting." This is Ruskin's final declaration, and it can also be said to be his last words.

It's a pity that God likes to tease people so much sometimes, and it didn't become his last words. It was very handsomely engraved on the cold and silent tombstone, looking at the sun and the moon, independent of the wind and snow.

A ripple appeared in the void, and the curvature of time and space fluctuated violently, far exceeding the waves created by a fleet entering the virtual space.

Ruskin was stunned by this phenomenon. He didn't know what happened. Could it be...Grant and others came back? But... the Underworld-class aircraft carrier can't make such a move.

That is, the Star Alliance fleet swarmed to help, dispatching a large number of troops at once, intending to keep the Republic Security Forces and the Night Breeze Assault Fleet here? But... With the current tense situation facing the Star Alliance, can they deploy so many fleets to encircle and suppress the enemy?

He suddenly thought of the death instruments that Tang Fang seized from the Khanos naval battle, and then showed a shocked and panicked expression. Could it be...could it be that lunatic Iger Stetmann really imitated the structure of the death torture instrument to create a gravity bomb, it seems...only this guess can explain the current situation.

"That idiot!" To be honest, he was not happy at all, because this thing could kill everyone, including the workers in Christel's underground shelter. Tonghui can avenge the Republic of Date for what it did to Morning Star, but is it worth paying so many lives for it? Not to mention that the members of the Bahamut Pirates haven't left yet. Once Egg Stetman detonates his new toy, the people of Liliatta will also be affected.

The ungrateful thing...is really disgusting.

Ruskin had already forgotten his original intention, and hurriedly ordered the communication officer to contact the underground command center of the Christel Industrial Park, intending to stop Iger Stetman's crazy behavior.

The communications officer did not follow his orders, and stared blankly at the screen on the left. Such a discovery made him puzzled, and he turned his head to look at the large screen that many people cast their gazes on—it was a display device connected to the stern sensor.

At the first glance, he didn't see the image clearly, at the second glance, he rubbed his eyes, at the third glance, he was puzzled, at the fourth glance, he shouted He said, "God, what is that?"

This is his cry, and it is also the voice of everyone on the battlefield.

On the Founder, Hader Lee, who received the latest news, had a gloomy face and a terrible mood. I thought there was no end to it, first the Bahamut Pirates stepped in, disrupted their attack plan, and let go of the Yeliuli carrying heavyweights, and now they have provoked such a monster. This battle... can we still fight?
