If Henrietta hadn't mobilized the frontier troops to help back, facing the sinister international and domestic situation, how could the garrison fleet whose morale had fallen to the bottom be the opponent of the crusade fleet.

So, if those people can take care of the east, they can't take care of the west, and if they can protect the head, they can't hold the tail. It has become an unsolvable deadlock.

Around the second line of defense near Ledi Naval Port, the Amber Fleet and the Obsidian Fleet from the Dukedom of Knall spread around, and not far away were the Vega Fleet and the Sirius Fleet of the former Duke of Tucena, as well as several core members of the old-school forces private army.

The fact that the Skywalker Guards did not show up surprised Engel and the others. But as Henrietta's personal guard fleet, the Skywalker Guard has a total of only 200 warships. Even if the combat power is not weak, it can't make much waves. It may have been assigned to the border to resist the attack of the Date Republic fleet.

While Engel was inspecting the internal defenses of the Khanos star system, Cui Enhao and Gilcott on the Bucephalus were also inspecting the opponent's combat power.

Without any greetings, and no pre-war declaration of who represents justice and who represents evil, the war just started.

The flashes of front-line artillery fire fell on the faces of everyone on the bridge through the big screen, which was less cruel and more detached.

Gilcott said, "Let's go."

Cui Enhao nodded: "Let's start." Then an order was sent by the communications officer.

At the same time, on the bridge of the Mirror Light, Henrietta lowered her eyes, looked at it with a PDA in her hand, and casually asked her son-in-law Antley how the incident was going.

Antley nodded and told His Royal Highness that everything had been arranged properly, and he just waited for the battle to end.

When Henrietta handed the PDA to the waiter, in the small space station in the high-altitude orbit of Natasha Star, Elena was holding VIVI, with a melancholy expression on her small face, and muttered to herself: "Where are Bai Yue and Izsha going?" Where did it go? Why did it suddenly disappear... Sigh, Tang Fang... why haven't you come back yet."

The battle on the front line was in full swing, yet she was still in the mood to desert.

VIVI said: "He...couldn't be really dead..."

Elena held it up in front of her, stared at its face and said, "Shut your crow's mouth."

"Well, you started to kill me because of that guy. Sure enough, girls are extroverted... I will definitely tell Miss Galaxy Demon Girl about this, and I will definitely..."

Elena sighed, her expression darkened: "The situation of the Star Alliance is even worse than that of the United Kingdom of Turanx. I don't know how Charlotte...she is doing." After speaking, she stood up and walked to the window, Looking at where the battle started, he sighed again.

Everything is going well... at least for Engel, everything is going well.

The crusade fleet moved forward steadily, removing the defensive strongholds built by space-based defense platforms around the defense line one by one, and slowly approaching the airspace where the main force of the enemy is located, forming a double-teaming situation.

After all, their strength is superior, and the fleet under Henrietta's command is relatively small. In the face of a huge force gap of more than 2:1, if it were not for the defense units constructed by a large number of space-based defense platforms to divert the firepower of the crusade fleet, the enemy would have already The army is defeated like a mountain, how can it remain undefeated like it is now.

Even so, the garrison navy of the Khanos star system can only retreat in a corner, not daring to make any advances.

To put it bluntly, the crusading army holds the initiative on the battlefield and has a great advantage. Even so, Engel did not put all his troops into the battlefield, leaving about 3 fleets as reserve forces to deal with certain special situations.

He was very cautious, trying his best not to leave a chance for the enemy, not greedy for merit,

The strategic thinking of not rushing forward will be carried out to the end.

Eventually, Fate responded to his caution and gave him a chance to prove himself.

The reconnaissance ship scanned a wide range of space-time curvature fluctuations on the flanks of the battlefield. According to computer system calculations, more than 700 warships will arrive at the theater in a few minutes.

Of course, it will not be the reinforcements of the Crusade Army, it can only be the reinforcements of the XIAN Political Promotion Committee.

So the three reserve fleets came into play, and were sent by Engel to intercept more than 700 warships that were rapidly approaching the theater.

With a force gap of more than 4:1, even if these more than 700 warships are of the same level as the Skywalker Guard, they still have a good chance of winning. But is it possible? Obviously impossible.

Soon, bad news came from the reconnaissance ship. More than 700 warships from unknown sources would arrive on the battlefield sooner than expected. However, the three fleets sent by the Crusade Army have not yet reached the target location, and it seems that the only way to go is head-to-head.

They arrived on the battlefield faster than the revised forecast. Then, Engel saw an unacceptable scene-it was indeed not the Skywalker Guard, it was the New Skywalker Guard. The most important thing is that the forecast of the reconnaissance ship has obviously deviated. The number of warships for the enemy's reinforcements is not more than 700, but more than 1,400, which is double the estimate.

He saw the warships of the original Skywalker Guards and the warships of the former Sons of War fleet inside, but they all obviously underwent a certain degree of transformation, the appearance remained the same, but the performance was greatly improved.

What Engel is most concerned about is not them, but another batch of warships besides them, there are almost 1,000 ships. Judging from the appearance and style, it is obviously not a domestic warship of the United Kingdom of Turanx, and it is also not in line with the warships of other sovereign countries in the Hillenbel region. If you insist on finding someone with a similar style in the ten-nation ship system, these 1,000 warships are more or less in the style of the Star Alliance...

Since they are not warships produced by a sovereign state, where did they come from, Dragon Whisperer? Armed with God? The newly revealed Legion of Anubis?

Engel shook his head, denying these conjectures, because those hidden forces had absolutely no reason to help Henrietta.

Li Yun thought of a possibility, and quickly abandoned that idea.

The flames of war were ignited on the flanks of the defense line, and the 3 fleets from the Crusade Army and the 1,400 warships that suddenly broke out had a more intense conflict than the internal defense line.

With a force gap of more than 2:1, both Engel and Li Yun believe that even if their own fleet loses to their opponents, they can at least hold them back, and it will not be too late to make calculations after confirming that the enemy's combat effectiveness is at that level.

However, no one expected that as soon as the two sides came into contact, the battle would turn out to be one-sided.

What caused this situation was not the warships of the original Skywalker Guard and the original Sons of War fleet, but those warships of unknown origin.

Generally speaking, battleship-class warships have strong firepower and sufficient firepower, but they are expensive and have poor maneuverability. They are rarely placed directly at the front of the battle array and are completely exposed to enemy fire. However, in front of the three fleets of the Crusade Army, The enemy's battleship-class warship left the frigate group in such a grand manner, piercing through the battle zone like a drawn sword.

Looking at the bow of the ship, the outline of the whole ship looks like a cluster of cross arrows. There is a naval gun on the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the ship, which can simultaneously fire a plasma beam that is enough to penetrate a cruiser-class battleship. Yes, a plasma cannon, not an orbital cannon!

Twenty such battleships lined up, with a total of 80 plasma cannons fully fired, sowing a rain of light, stirring up a storm of flames in the crusade fleet, and destroying more than 50 large and small battleships with just one salvo.

Just when Engel was shocked by the scene in front of him, something happened that made him even more speechless.

The enemy's plasma cannons ceased firing across the board, and the bow armor in the shape of cross-arrow clusters opened outwards, split into four pieces, and then left the hull, constructing a quadrilateral magnetic shield in front, and all the railgun projectiles fired at the hull were blocked. .

"External magnetic shield?"

Just when he thought that these hull parts were the kind of external magnetic shield system still in the laboratory stage, the following picture made him not know how to describe his mood.

He focused all his attention on the magnetic shield constructed from the four hull parts, ignoring what was behind the shield. Because it was mediocre at the beginning, there was nothing memorable until a safety device was opened, a dazzling energy ball was pushed out of the hull, and the 4 hull parts that built the magnetic shield turned into external acceleration tracks, Guide and rectify the huge energy in the rear, accelerate twice, and fine-tune the beam trajectory at the same time, piercing the crusade fleet with palpitating power.

The target of these 20 thick light beams is not the small and medium-sized ships wandering ahead, but the battleship-class warships behind.

More than a dozen frigates were swallowed by the light beams, the surging energy tide was not satisfied, and hit the large ships behind with flames and fragments.

The intense light explosion blinded the eyes of many people, and the fire spread rapidly along the portholes of the large ship. The explosion destroyed the structure of the ship, throwing out a large number of fragments and corpses.

Until then, the death beam from the enemy ship left behind a lingering afterglow, disappearing into the cold void.

The fireball inside the bow changed from white to blue, the safety device fell again, and the four hulls returned to their original positions, turning into the bow structure again.

Then, the 20 battleships that brought chaos and fear to the crusade fleet retreated slowly to the rear of the fleet.

Instead, they are smaller cruiser-class warships... Unlike the cruiser-class warships of sovereign countries, which are divided into heavy and light, they only have one specification, with a length of about 380 meters, narrow front and rear, and slightly wider in the middle. What is strange is that it is not like the battleship in front, you can see 4 large-caliber naval guns at a glance, and you can only see the not so dense close-in rapid-fire guns on the deck and both sides.

"Those are... armored ships? They exist to gain recharge time for the battleships in front?" The reformed armed forces in the defense area near Ledi Military Port were not encouraged by the arrival of reinforcements, and they still fought back tepidly. So Marquis Li Yun had enough time to pay attention to the situation on the flank battlefield.

He was mistaken, it was not an armored ship, even though more than 100 such warships straddled the void, there was a heavy and calm atmosphere like an iron chained cold river.

They're here to harvest... to harvest the chaotic enemy ships.

A ring-shaped structure floated from the wide part of the ship's belly and rose to a height of tens of meters. The equipment well below suddenly shot out several thick beams of light, injecting artificial crystals inside the ring-shaped structure.

In the next breath, multiple laser beams burst out from the radio frequency crystal track outside the ring structure, forming a three-dimensional fan-shaped strike surface, bringing a large number of small ships and aerospace fighters wandering around in search of fighters into the range of firepower.

Unlike the previous battleships, they are weapons specially designed for attacking small and medium ships. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as frigate killers.

What is the biggest disadvantage of laser weapons---the heat dissipation problem, but for these cruisers, they only need to turn the ring structure 180 degrees, and the rear row of laser cannons can replace the front row of laser cannons and continue to perform shooting tasks.

When these laser cannons need to cool down due to overheating, the laser cannons moved to the back row have returned to normal, and they only need to turn 180 degrees to continue shooting. Repeatedly like this, the laser light with destructive power is like a torrential rain that has been brewing for a long time, pouring down without pattering,

In all fairness, these laser beams are not as powerful as the bow plasma cannons and side plasma cannons of battleships, and the gap is far behind. But it is dense and fast. One shot can't sink a destroyer, but two... ten shots?

The warships of the Crusade Army were like flowers under heavy rain, quickly withering.

Some small and medium-sized ships retreated sharply, which inevitably disrupted the formation of the rear battleships, causing more violent chaos. There are also some ships that dive down, trying to enter the shooting blind spot of the ring structure, in order to avoid the fate of destruction.

However, what they didn't expect was that these cruisers did not roll over and adjust the shooting angle. The ring-shaped structure that was suspended in the sky suddenly fell back, passed through the equipment well, appeared from the bottom of the ship, and started chasing the retreating ships.

This discovery made the crusaders truly understand the meaning of the word "despair".

According to the firepower configuration of a general fleet, frigates and destroyers account for 70-80% of the total number of ships. They can be said to be the absolute main force on the battlefield. Compared with battleships, it is like the relationship between elite soldiers and generals. In the case of large and medium-sized ships being severely damaged and frightened, facing more than 100 cruiser-class warships that can emit multiple lasers, small ships do not even have the ability to fight back. The only thing they can do is to run for their lives.

A full 70% of the battleships are preparing to flee, or are already on the way to flee, what will happen to the crusade army? it goes without saying.

The rout was inevitable, and Engel simply couldn't hold back.

Most of the warships participating in this crusade came from the lord's private army, so naturally there is not much trust at all. If you have an advantage, you may follow the command of your superiors rationally. However, once they fall into a disadvantage, how can they cooperate obediently.
