Chapter 379 The Pirate's Feast (End)
Of course not! Seeing the Tomahawk-class cruiser fleeing farther and farther, Tang Fang squinted his eyes, commanded the pilot to change the position of the ship's bow, and locked on the cruiser's buttocks from a distance.
Not far away, Captain Ah San shuddered suddenly when he saw this scene, and subconsciously touched his buttocks.
However, just as Howson received the instruction, called out the weapon selection menu, and was about to use the shaped cannon, a warning signal suddenly came from the detectors deployed around the battlefield. Tang Fang said: "Wait a minute", and then looked to the port side to monitor device array.
The warp response scanner on the front combat command platform issued a rapid warning sound, Yuffie turned his head, and said nervously: "Captain, there are high-intensity and large-scale warp fluctuations on the left wing of the battlefield, and the estimated number of warships is 400!"
Yuffie's words made Grant and others jump, 400 battleships, 400 battleships suddenly appeared... Could it be that those large pirate groups are also here? Do people like myself have such a big face?
"Tang Fang, what should we do?" Everyone looked at the captain's seat.
Unlike them, Tang Fang didn't show any nervousness. Rector's naval fleet was all killed by him back then, not to mention that now that he has a lot of zero element resources and unlocked the Protoss mechanical platform, simple violent soldiers can It can drown the fleet that broke out halfway.
What he was curious about was who was willing to use 400 warships to snipe at him, but no one with a normal mind would send out troops with half the size of a conventional fleet to rob a destroyer.
To deter small pirate groups like "Ogre" and "Garuda"? Don't be kidding, those famous pirates can scare them into the urine when they sign up for their names. Do they need to pay such a price?
Is it possible that someone knows his own details? How is it possible in such a short time!
When he was full of doubts, there was a commotion in the battleship formations of the many pirate groups watching on the edge of the battlefield, and they all turned to disperse. Warm up your warp drive and get ready to escape what lies ahead.
A mere destroyer made dumplings for the "ogre". Thousands of people died here. Even if the overall combat effectiveness of some pirate groups is stronger than that of "Ogre", it is not much stronger. If you drive there recklessly, that is to deliver food to others. Now suddenly a fleet of 400 warships popped up, if they don’t leave, why stay here, as a garnish for others?
Just before the pirates formed their formation and activated the warp drive, they were about to construct a warp field and enter the virtual space. Lights flashed in the void thousands of kilometers around the battlefield, and warships appeared around the Morning Star and the pirate ships one after another.
"So fast." Some pirates couldn't help exclaiming.
The leaders of the bridge who were in charge of commanding operations changed their expressions drastically, and roared to the pilot group: "It's the Covenant Navy, Jakartapur's naval fleet, hurry up... the maximum output of the zero element reactor, immediately enter the virtual space, Once caught by this group of vampires, there will be no good fruit to eat."
It is true that some high-level members of the Star Alliance support pirate forces, but they are all large pirate groups, small groups and small organizations like them. It is the target of some middle-level officers in the navy with chicken feathers and arrows to gain achievements and fight autumn wind.
Once it falls into their hands, just wait for the bleeding. Not to mention the confiscation of the battleship, want to get out of prison? Depending on fame and status, a person's head can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and as many as hundreds of millions. Small faction pirates like them live in fear all day long and live a life of licking blood with knives. Is it easy to save some money? Let them get in once, and 20 years of hard work will be in vain.
It turns out that it is not just the pirates who are eyeing this piece of "fat meat". Even the wolfhounds in the navy are watching the wind. The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind. That Lightning Python-class destroyer was just a decoy.
What was originally quite simple has become so complicated. You must know that it was just a Lightning Python-class destroyer, not a large caravan. The "Jakartapur" navy did not hesitate to dispatch 400 warships. This situation is rare in history.
Of course, no matter how depressed or confused they were, they didn't dare to stop and chat with the people in the navy. At this time, no one spoke first, large ships and small boats swarmed away, and some guys with names on the most wanted list did not have time to revise the sailing parameters, and plunged into the virtual space.
Maybe you can survive if you gamble, don't gamble? Once you're in a Covenant prison, you can't even think about getting out.
The pirates fled frantically, while the navy started chasing and intercepting them. Compared with the confrontation between the two armies, such assault operations are not the main attack units such as destroyers, cruisers, and battleships, but fast assault ships, heavy assault ships, interceptors, and warp interference drones. Small quick response ships.
The two small battleships, the heavy assault ship and the fast assault ship, are not only fast, but also equipped with warp speed blocking equipment that interrupts the formation of space-time bubbles for specific targets. The former is generally used to deal with heavy warships such as cruisers and battleships, while the latter targets small ships such as destroyers and frigates.
In addition to these two types of assault warships, warp jamming drones are also an intercepting force that cannot be ignored. Although they are cheap to build and have low defenses, they are not suitable for installing warp blocking equipment, but they are equipped with hysteresis beams. It can greatly slow down the construction speed of the curved force field and space-time bubble, and gain reaction time for follow-up combat troops.
As for interceptor ships, most of these ships have fragile skins, and in most cases they are used to deploy warp speed interception nets to restrict enemy ships within a certain range from entering warp speed navigation. Of course, there are still some heavy interceptors, and they are more suitable for the front of the two armies than to encircle and suppress pirates.
The "Jakartapur" navy's bandit suppression operation obviously had a careful plan. As soon as the assault ship appeared, it aimed at the main target and rushed out. Their interception targets were the flagships of the pirate group, large ships, and the crew of such ships. Most of them are pirate bosses, and their value is much higher than that of ordinary minions.
While the interceptor spread out towards the two wings, it launched one torque regulator after another, like a spider, slowly interweaving into a warp speed interception web.
At the same time, the "Jakartapur" naval ships also appeared one after another, including the Longsword-class frigate, the Strongbow-class destroyer, the Tomahawk-class cruiser, and 2 King Kong-class battleships...
The Star Alliance ship system and the Monya Empire ship system have their own strengths and weaknesses in terms of combat performance, and it is difficult to distinguish between them. However, the appearance is very different. This can be seen from the naming of the warships of both sides. The battleships of the Monya Empire pursue practicality, and most of them are shaped like large sea fish, and their paintwork is hideous. Covenant ships are more about aesthetics. The overall lines are smooth and stylish, with a very sci-fi feel.
The pirates fled and scattered. Chased by Star Alliance battleships, they ran around. In terms of the "Jakartapur" navy, the vanguard took control of the situation. The following large and small warships surrounded the pirate warships that hadn't evacuated in time like catching fish.
The Morning Star, which was originally the main character, was ignored by everyone. Claire, Grant and the others all stared at the monitor in astonishment. Jakartapur's navy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and they actually played tricks and tricked these pirates.
In this chaotic situation. The speed advantage of small ships began to appear. Like a 100-meter-class frigate, as long as the captain in charge of command is not a beginner or rookie, there is still a very high probability of getting out. Even a destroyer at a distance of about 200 meters has a chance of escaping unless it is blocked by a naval assault ship. Even some cruisers far away from the battlefield were very lucky to get out of the interception net, and escaped without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Garuda" are lucky because they are very close to the main battlefield. The navy, on the other hand, focused on the many pirate groups watching the battle, so that they ignored the existence of these pirates and beggars.
The battleship is broken and broken, but the ability to sail at warp speed is still alive and well. There are 18 ships in the "Garuda", and they reacted the moment the naval vanguard ships arrived, and immediately dispersed.
The tattered frigate directly activated the warp speed engine and plunged into the virtual space. Under the cover of the wreckage of the "Ogre" ship, the three destroyers also escaped the encirclement without any danger.
It stands to reason that even if the Jinpeng is huge and slow, but with Tang Fang's support and the Morning Star covering it, there is absolutely no reason why it can't get away. However, the Jinpeng is in the same line as the regiment leader Ah San. Totally a big joke. At this critical moment, it actually fell off the chain. The warp drive malfunctioned, and the resonator components burst. The battleship broke down,
"It's all your fault!" Edison scolded angrily, "You are unlucky, what do I say, what do I say... You don't listen to all kinds of persuasion and remonstrance, what's the matter? Your beloved girl has been killed. This thing is just like you, it's a scam."
Radu Khan was scolded bloody by the deputy head, but he was speechless. The Jinpeng broke down at a critical moment, and if there were no accidents, all the more than 300 people on board would have to go to the prison with him.
In order to transform the scrapped Sea Lion-class cruiser into the Jinpeng, "Garuda" owed a huge amount of foreign debts outside, and once it went in, there would be no spare money to redeem it.
"Everyone still expects to follow you to earn two money and marry a wife. This is good, prepare to drink the northwest wind in the future..." Addison was like a menopausal aunt, muttering endlessly.
Commander Ah San was in a bad mood. The pirate group that lived in the area around "Jakartapur", if they didn't have a main attack ship like a cruiser, would definitely be ridiculed, and they couldn't hold their heads up wherever they went.
"Garuda Luo" tightened his belt up and down. In the past six months, even tm's physical needs have been handed over to the fifth girl. After finally saving enough down payment, he finally repaired this scrapped Sea Lion-class cruiser. It can be used on the battlefield.
I hoped that by relying on it, I would be able to feel proud in the future, no longer be looked down upon by others, and earn more money. I didn't want this cheating bastard to give his master an oolong in the first actual battle. He didn't break down sooner or later, but he broke down at this time. Radu Khan hit his head to death on the combat command platform, and his heart is gone. Of course, he didn't have the guts. As a pure-blooded Asan and a devout Buddhist, committing suicide or something would violate the teachings.
Ever since, everyone on the Jinpeng could only watch helplessly as the "Jakartapur" navy captured more than 60 warships, large and small, and then turned their spearheads on the dilapidated Jinpeng.
The landing battle soon ended, and the "Jakartapur" Marine Corps occupied the Jinpeng without encountering the slightest resistance, and took poor Radu Khan, Addison and others into custody.
As for Tang Fang's Morning Star, it is a serious merchant ship in the official database, so naturally it will not be attacked by the navy.
In this battle, the "Jakartapur" navy achieved a lot of results. There were 9 cruiser-class warships captured alone, and nearly 60 small ships such as destroyers, frigates, and interceptors. This includes the Tomahawk-class cruiser of the "Ogre".
When Strange was escorted aboard the naval warship, he cast an extremely venomous gaze towards the Morning Star in the center of the battlefield. If it weren't for that nasty boy who pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger, how could he have fallen into this end.
The dignified "ogre" pirate group. Ninety-nine percent of its battleships were lost, and the only Tomahawk-class cruiser that escaped from the sky had just left the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den. Even the head of the regiment was also made a prisoner.
How could he not hate, how could he not complain! Strange swears to God. One day, he will let that kid taste the regret.
One thing Strange doesn't know is that he should be grateful to the "Jakartapur" navy. Without them, the Morning Star would have bombarded the Tomahawk-class cruiser's ass. As for him, he should be chatting with Uncle Wuchang on Huangquan Road.
...
After the bandit suppression operation was over, Newton Bell, the deputy commander of the "Jakartapur" navy who commanded the operation, sent a telegram requesting Tang Fang to return to "Jakartapur" with the navy fleet. Show your face in front of the official and unofficial media of the Star Alliance, and come to a video.
The senior officers of the navy are not fools. Maximizing profits is something they are familiar with. How could they not be grateful for the kindness of the parties involved.
Although I don't need their help, these guys actually didn't play the role of escort, but Newton Bell has a good attitude and polite words. There's no need to fight the Navy. Secondly, in the future, his transport fleet will inevitably come and go in and out of "Lokia" to sell Newton Bell. Getting acquainted with the high-level executives of Xinggang will be very beneficial for future affairs. Thirdly, the "Babylon" free market party is not in a hurry, and it is really nothing to postpone it for half a day. On the other hand, although it is the duty of the navy to protect the business brigade, from an etiquette level, it is also appropriate to express my gratitude. Based on the above considerations, Tang Fang finally agreed to Newton Bell's request. Follow the battleship escorting the pirates and return to "Lokia" first.
When the morning star turned into a streamer and disappeared into space. Inside the bridge of the No. 2 flagship of the "Jakartapur" Navy, the "Glorious Knight", Deputy Commander Newton Bell and Chief of Staff Yale Adams are watching a video record.
The image data was extracted from the sensor system database of the flagship of the "Ogre" pirate group. Its content is the exchange of fire between the Morning Star and the "Ogre" ships.
When the timeline advances to the star ring unfolding, and the Morning Star, like a koi jumping out of the water, rushes out of the encirclement of the "ogre" and sprinkles a rain of light, all the officers of the staff department swallow their saliva in unison.
When the navy arrived on the battlefield, the fierce battle between the Morningstar and the "Ogre" had ended. They didn't know what happened just now. How did a mere Lightning Python-class destroyer kill a warship several times its size?
According to the calculation of the staff department, when the "Jakartapur" navy arrived on the battlefield, the Morning Star should have been captured by the pirate organization. The pirate forces in the surrounding areas of the Boolean star system have been dealt a heavy blow.
However, everyone, come over and take a look, okay, that kid is alive and well, but the "ogre" people, 10 out of 10 dead, 99 out of 10, the Tomahawk-class cruiser was beaten up by a destroyer and ran away like a dog .
What the hell is going on? Newton Bell and all the staff officers were full of doubts. It was only at this time that they came to their senses after reading the battle records of the two sides.
Then what kind of destroyer is it? Its overall combat power is stronger than that of the tm King Kong-class battleship... This kid, tm rotten, thought he was a fat sheep, but he didn't know that he was more ruthless than a rainy night butcher.
"Well, the man was not rescued, and our navy has turned into a scavenger, and wiped that kid's ass." A staff officer laughed at himself.
"You can't say that, anyway, I caught a lot of pirates, and the harvest is not bad." Someone retorted.
Newton Bell frowned and said nothing, but the chief of staff of the navy, Yael Adams, looked worried: "I'm afraid the boy's background is not simple, should we send someone to investigate?"
To be able to transform a Lightning Python-class destroyer into this appearance, not to mention that ordinary people cannot do it, even the vast majority of stronghold forces, and even large military industrial enterprises are unable to do this. The officers on the bridge are all discerning, so how could they fail to recognize the Ypsilon equipment on the Morningstar. "Aurora" shield. There is also an array of anti-matter auxiliary thrusters. These are complete products, not some relics. It is strange that ordinary people can afford them, let alone integrate them into the battleship system. If you want to do this, you must at least have a complete set of ships. Only the support of the shipbuilding industry system can be used.
"No need." Newton Bell rejected Yale Adams's proposal: "This matter is not within the scope of our responsibilities. As long as he does not cause trouble and does not do anything that endangers the Star Alliance, we have no reason to move him."
"That's right. The intelligence department has been troubled by this matter. Why should our navy take on such a thankless job." The chief of staff grinned and said no more.
...
When the main force of the "Jakartapur" navy was cleaning the battlefield, the Morning Star followed behind the escort ship. After more than ten hours of warp speed sailing, it finally returned to "Jakartapur". (to be continued)
