Chapter 1543: Impressing the Celts (2)

Whether it is the sudden appearance of the apostle drone, the construction of a gravity field to imprison the Loki, or the humiliating behavior of the Seraph just now, these are all behaviors used by the enemy to attract them into the ambush circle.

If a battleship of the size of a three-headed dog-class pirate capital ship is in motion, it will not be able to be perfectly invisible, it will definitely show its feet, and it will be caught by the reconnaissance ships of the Celtic guards. It can be done without being known by the Imperial Navy, and it will have an unexpected effect.

It seems...that kid had expected that they would attack the Tempest, and deliberately dug a hole for them to jump into.

Since there is a pit on the side of the assault fleet, what about the Celtic guard warships responsible for pinning down the Minotaur-class battlecruisers and the Valkyrie frigates on the flanking battlefield?

………………

Just as the commander of the assault fleet was worried, when the three-headed dog-class pirate capital ship formation was out of stealth and turned into an attacking posture, the flank battlefield was also facing changes.

The Minotaur-class battlecruiser and the Valkyrie frigate have been clearing the mines and scattered space-based defense facilities near the battle zone to expand the attack channel. On the one hand, they provide a suitable combat environment for the interstellar system flying units to deploy across the board, and on the other hand, they provide protection against storms. Battleships provide protection from the flanks.

The Celtic Guard dispatched about 1,200 warships, against the Minotaur-class battlecruisers, Valkyrie frigates, Iron Crow II, wraith fighters, Viking fighters... such a combination of human flying units deployed on the flanks of the storm Carry out full-line suppression and shrink their range of activities.

1,200 warships lined up on the opposite side, moving forward at a considerable speed. The Thunderblade and Thunderwing aerospace fighters and some unmanned fighter jets from the Cloud Whale-class super aircraft carrier walked through the rain of bullets and light.

The Terran combat unit headed by the Minotaur-class battlecruiser stopped sweeping the enemy military installations in the nearby airspace and began to retreat to the rear. This will undoubtedly make the Dreadnought Commander-class fortress ship more isolated, leaving the flanks of the storm battleship camp wide open.

Nurstan, the deputy commander of the Celtic Guard, did not expect things to go so smoothly until the bad news came from the assault fleet.

Then... He and his soldiers saw the golden warships arriving at the battlefield after crossing the receding human flying units. They have a longer body than the golden battleship with a ring hull next to it, and more elaborate flower decorations. Especially the two warships flying in the front are longer than the same style of warships in the back, and their workmanship is also higher.

Nurstan didn't know what titles these two battleships had, and how different they were from the golden battleships behind them. What was certain was that they were not easy to mess with...very hard to mess with.

During the forward pressure of the ship formation, the Cloud Whale-class super aircraft carrier released almost all its carrier-based aircraft, as if overwhelming locusts swarmed forward.

This shocking picture didn't last long. As the golden battleship ejection cabin that just arrived on the scene flew out one golden brilliance after another, the shocking picture constructed by many Thunder Wings series aerospace fighters rushed to the front line was seen. Power smashes.

Compared with the 18M-class Thunder Wings and Thunder Blade aerospace fighters, these golden drones, which are only a few meters in size, are the real locusts... No, they are much more flexible than locusts, as if they are rolling up and down. Xingsha, straddling the battlefields of the two armies, trembled with the Thunder Wings series of air and space fighters released by the Yunjing-class super aircraft carrier and the Blue Whale-class aircraft carrier.

Their speed is too fast, much better than the explosive power of Viking fighters, and more flexible than Wraith fighters. The two interceptors in front left two lines of silver-white light arrows in the air, pulling them up to avoid Open the formation of Thunder Wings and Thunder Blade air-space fighters, and the two interceptors behind are spinning and flying, shooting two lines of silver-white light arrows while shifting to the side, just like peeling bananas in the formation of Thunder Blade air-space fighters A cluster of explosions were created, and the space fighters turned into metal fragments one after another, spreading far and wide.

Faced with this situation, Nurstan had no choice but to order the aerospace fighter group to abandon the plan to hunt down the Minotaur-class battlecruiser and the Valkyrie guided missile frigate.

Order them to form formations and engage in dogfighting with interceptors from the enemy.

Compared with the Thunderwing Aerospace Fighter, the Thunderblade Aerospace Fighter has a certain degree of speed improvement, and its stealth effect is also slightly better. If it is a confrontation between the naval fleets of sovereign countries, there is no doubt that they will have a lot of advantages, but when facing the protoss aircraft carrier combat units, these advantages are all gone.

Nurstan stood on the bridge of the Troll, looking at the sparks blooming ahead through the panoramic projection bulkhead, his face darkened. Because every spark, every flash, means that a Thunderblade space fighter is destroyed by the light arrows fired by the enemy. Those parallel or interlaced silver brilliance, like the special effects shots in the movie, are extremely shocking.

This is of course not a movie, this is a fact, Nursdan and the staff below are definitely not in the mood to look at the flashes ahead with admiring eyes.

The Celtic Guard has as many as 2 Cloud Whale-class super aircraft carriers and 12 Blue Whale-class aircraft carriers. It is conceivable how terrifying the number of carrier-based aircraft in the Thunder Wings series is. Nursdan, as the deputy commander of the Celtic Guard, is mainly a specialist in research and in charge of the combat plan of aircraft carrier-class warships.

However, at this moment, the carrier-based aircraft cluster that he relied on as an official and was proud of was losing ground like the ebbing sea water, and was destroyed by the protoss interceptors coming from the opposite side.

As the protoss interceptors continue to conquer lost ground, the range of activities advances, and human combat units such as Minotaur-class battlecruisers, Valkyrie guided missile frigates, Viking fighters, ghost fighters, Raven IIs, and Griffin fighters follow. Push forward. In addition, the Phoenix Fighter and Phantom Fighter also entered the battle sequence one after another.

It was advancing across the board before, but now it is retreating across the board.

The Thunder Wings series of fighters are constantly shrinking the front line. Large and medium-sized warships like the Dragon King Whale-class battleship and the Sword-Kiss Shark-class cruiser cannot pose a real threat to the small ones like interceptors. The protoss aircraft carrier and the Minotaur-class battlecruiser caused some small troubles that were not on the table.

I don't know why, every time the large ship bombards, the enemy always responds positively as if predicted, making those powerful weapons useless. The staff suspects that those interceptors are equipped with special sensing equipment that can detect energy fluctuations within a certain range.

Nurstain attempted to detonate EMP mines in the nearby airspace, intending to use them to confuse the Protoss interceptors. It is a pity that it has no effect at all. The front line should be routed and shrunk.

As the interceptor planes tore apart the battle line created by the Thunder Wings series of fighters, the Phantom fighters, Viking fighters, Phoenix fighters... These anti-ship fighters drove straight in, and have already contacted the scout ships and frigates in charge of capturing and transmitting battlefield information ahead of them. Create conflict and confrontation.

Some Spirit Shark-class frigates and Cyclops-class destroyers desperately protected the Hammerhead Shark-class command ships and other non-combat ships to evacuate to the rear. They paid a high price for this.

The explosion of the battleship released a more dazzling flame, blooming on the panoramic projection wall, illuminating the face of Admiral Nurstan on the bridge of the Troll, looking from a certain angle, it looked like a warship on the verge of rage and madness. beast.

He didn't expect that the previous triumphant advance would turn into a full-scale retreat so quickly. The enemy chose to drive back the military forces under his command in a head-to-head way, which made him lose his temper at all.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the Minotaur-class battlecruisers, Valkyrie-class guided missile frigates, Viking fighters and other human military forces adopting a step-by-step approach to sweep up the space-based defense facilities around the theater. Otherwise, you can use the jump positioning probe to help The Ghost Shark-class special service ship performs a short-distance jump to harass and harass the alien aircraft carrier ahead.

Thinking about it, even if the alien ships on the opposite side had a higher technological level than the empire, they still couldn't get rid of the shortcomings of aircraft carrier-level combat units that were not conducive to melee combat. Taking a step back, even if the Ghost Shark-class special service fleet is unable to resist the escort forces around the alien aircraft carrier, it can still give its own battleships and cruiser-class warships time to react and calmly deal with the immediate crisis.

Fortunately, including the storm battleship, the opponent has less than a hundred alien warships, but they have pushed back nearly 2,000 warships from the Celtic Guard, including the cloud whale-class super aircraft carrier. This is really... too embarrassing.

Nursdan didn't know what to do, so he could only passively shrink the line of defense, while trying to connect with Fastford Stewart, discussing the situation in front of him to solve the problem.

While the connection was being connected, he noticed a special situation. Behind those golden aircraft carriers, a line of blue is faintly exposed. Judging from the shape of the hull, it is in the same line as the golden aircraft carrier, but they have not been seen firing from the beginning to the end, but they are only hidden in the rear line of the Minotaur-class battlecruiser and the golden aircraft carrier.

"These blue warships... what are they?"

When this idea was formed in his mind, a dazzling red light passed through the border, and the pilot of the Troll controlled the battleship to sink urgently, avoiding the beam of light from the opposite side safely. However, the one-eyed shark-class destroyer behind was not so lucky. The starboard side was completely penetrated, and a shocking hole was blown out. The light behind the porthole was replaced by the flames from the explosion, and the destruction was not far away.

Nurstan looked at the airspace ahead with a sullen face.

The source of the ray was beyond his expectation. It was not the mighty Minotaur-class battlecruiser, but one of the two unique aircraft carriers. It's hard to imagine that at such a long distance...even the Tempest Battleship couldn't threaten the distance of the Troll, and the unique aircraft carrier ahead almost hit his flagship.

Not to mention whether the Troll will be destroyed by the opponent's blow, the range alone makes people fear and tremble. Fortunately, the Troll, as a relic battleship, is not comparable to ordinary warships in terms of acceleration and steering capabilities, and the pilot is a seasoned veteran with extremely fast reaction speed, otherwise the beam would have hit the hull.

The Troll is a rare command ship-level relic warship. If it is just injured under enemy fire, it will be a big loss for the Celtic Guard.

He looked up at the golden bulkhead that was slowly closing at the other end of the big screen, wrapping the orbit of the ring that emitted the beam of destruction in the middle, like an upside-down flowering image, and a trace of cold sweat slid down his temples.

Nursdan looked at the Protoss aircraft carrier flagship on the opposite side, and Serrandis in the Protoss aircraft carrier flagship was also looking at the Troll, and was a little disappointed that the opponent had just missed the shot.

The Troll was unharmed, and the Cyclops destroyer was destroyed in one blow. To Serrandis, this result was no different from missing the target. Of course she was dissatisfied, of course she was upset.

As the commander of the Golden Fleet, not even a mere human battleship was hit, which can be said to be a humiliation in her military career.

Tassadar's face appeared on the surface of the crystal, and a low-pitched warning sounded together: "Don't forget Tang Fang's instructions, and never take it lightly just because the opponent's technology level is low... I have a hunch that this battle will not end so soon. Finish."

Serrandis has a tsundere personality, which can be seen from the dialogue with Jim Raynor in the Wings of Liberty battle. It's just... her arrogance is divided into objects. Not against Tanis, and certainly not against Tassadar.

She withdrew her sharp gaze and said in a humble tone: "Thank you for reminding me, I see."

Even if she disapproved of Tang Fang's entrustment, she would not dare to behave wildly in front of Tassadar.

Sarandis's flagship did not continue to chase the Troll, but chose to wait for the aircraft carrier behind and slowly press forward step by step.

………………

On the left hand side of the storm battleship and the Dreadnought Commander-class fortress ship is the battle formation formed by the flying units of the two races, the gods, and the airspace on the right hand side and the air space above and below are the stage of the Zerg.

A large number of flying zerg flocked to the Celtic star orbit, most of them originated from Behemoth not far from the storm battleship camp.

Of course, Izsha, Zagara, and Abathur would not be the ones commanding the swarm to launch the tide offensive. It's Claire.

The reason why she didn't use Leviathan, but chose the lack of offensive Behemoth, the biggest starting point is that Behemoth is larger than Leviathan, and can store more combat units in the body.

In fact, she is not the only one on the "bridge" of Bechymos. On her right hand stands the infectious hero Alexei Stukov. Due to various considerations, Tang Fang has no intention of letting the Alexander and Yemengard join the battlefield for the time being.

Behind Alexei Stukov, Yager Claw Lord has half of his body shrunk under the flesh tissue, half of his body is exposed, his eyes are fixed on the battle scene displayed by the front membranous body, and he spits out a word or two out of excitement from time to time. There was a spark, but it was quickly sucked back into the mouth, as if very afraid of Claire.

To be precise, what it fears is not Claire, but the Queen of Blades.

At the edge of the solution pool not far from Yager's claw, there is a very strange thing, like a moss-covered ground, with milky white vesicles embedded in it, wriggling over time, like a cocoon.
