Chapter 874 Lucky: S

"Rigel" sank just like that, like the large and medium-sized battleships sunk by the Minotaur-class battlecruisers in the past, it was broken in the explosion and turned into floating wreckage wrapped in smoke. [w. Sui Mеng. lā

The death of the commander made many soldiers feel confused, but also made them lose their fighting spirit, and then passively sabotage, and even gave up resistance directly, sending a surrender signal to the 23rd Ranger Regiment.

The commanders of the warships who would be angered by the death of Harvin Kassan have almost turned into ghosts under the fire of the 12 Minotaur-class battlecruisers. Hymn Will has long since died, Elizabeth has not been heard from, Athena has been defeated, and several princes are preparing to flee for their lives. Now that Harvin Kassan is also dead, what is the point of this battle?

More and more people choose to give up and accept the fate of failure. There is one more. Some people tried to escape, thinking that although the Khanos naval battle was over, the new faction had not collapsed, and the princes still had a chance to make a comeback.

Because Harvin Kassan blocked the salvo of 12 Minotaur-class battlecruisers at the cost of his life, the "Scorpion" was able to successfully activate the warp drive, and the hull turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the battlefield.

Next is the "Blood Raven" where the fourth prince Crony and the fifth prince Jordan are, and the last one is the "Snow Wind" of Prince Tyrone. Since the safe channel cleared by the Lionheart's independent fleet at a heavy price is not wide, if the three warships start the warp drive at the same time, interference will easily occur, which will affect sensitive electrical components, and no one will be able to leave at that time.

Therefore, they can only leave one by one.

Harvin Cassan dragged 12 Minotaur-class battlecruisers, but he couldn't guard against those tricky flying dragons and self-destructing mosquitoes.

When the warp speed engine of "Blood Crow" entered the countdown, 3 seriously injured flying dragons and 1 blaster passed through the gap between the battleships of the left guard fleet and appeared behind the left rear of "Snow Wind".

Judging from their flight paths, it is absolutely impossible for "Yukikaze" to get rid of them and enter the virtual space unharmed.

Tai Lun felt that he was very unlucky today. In most of my life, there has never been a day as sad as today.

As a last resort, he could only order the pilot crew to stop warming up, immediately activate the weapon system of "Snow Wind", and bombard the three rear flying dragons that would not hesitate to suffer heavy injuries and interfere with the three ships leaving the battlefield. As for the self-exploding mosquitoes... it will be handled by shipborne drones.

"Snow Wind" is also a special soul singer-class flagship. It's just that the core of the propeller array used for conventional navigation in the rear is an Ipsilon propeller. Undoubtedly, this has greatly improved the speed and flexibility of "Snow Wind", far surpassing the "Black Iron" and "Blood Raven" of the same level of warships.

However,

What left His Royal Highness speechless was that the Ipsilon propeller, which had always been working normally, unexpectedly showed symptoms of acclimatization at this critical moment.

Perhaps the inertia caused by the emergency braking of the warp speed engine affected the entire propulsion system with the Ypsilon thruster as the core, and related facilities including auxiliary thrusters and balance systems were temporarily offline, but the weapon system of the battleship was still in operation. . In particular, the large-caliber rail gun used as the main gun fires in one direction at the same time. In the absence of a balance system to adjust the attitude of the hull, the reaction force pushes the battleship and swings sharply to the right.

What is misfortune never comes singly? What is worse?

This is called misfortunes never come singly, this is called adding insult to injury!

The above thoughts only stayed in Tai Lun's mind for a moment before being replaced by fear.

A beam of light shot out from a very far distance, almost brushing against the port side of the "Snow Wind", and hitting the propeller group at the tail of the "Blood Raven", which exudes violent curvature fluctuations. A dazzling light burst was lit, and the flames were like violently tumbling dark clouds. Wrapped in countless fragments, it boiled outward. The bright red hull of the "Blood Raven" seemed to be torn from the tail by a pair of hands, and a large piece of irregular wreckage fell off the hull, spinning and flying into the distance.

The shock wave generated by the propeller explosion tore through the structure of the battleship, and the flames and explosions spread rapidly along the energy pipeline, engulfing the entire battleship.

The "Blood Raven" carrying the two princes was destroyed by a beam of light from behind one second before entering the virtual space. Like "Rigel", it turned into floating wreckage in the void.

Such a scene stunned many people, and also frightened many people.

Tyron did not stay, but was afraid... If there is no thruster failure, if the balance system is not offline. If the battleship hadn't swung to the right under the reaction force, the ship that was blown up by that beam of light would not be the "Blood Raven", but his "Snow Wind".

The Ypsilon thruster that struck with his younger brother at the critical moment did not harm him, but saved his life in a critical moment.

Tai Lun's mood became very complicated. On the one hand, the explosion of the "Blood Raven" and the death of the two nephews were inseparable from him to a certain extent; It's not me, I'm glad that the failure of the Ypsilon thruster was really timely, it was simply his lucky charm,

The beam of light came from afar, and it lasted for a long time. It separated the flying dragon and the self-destructing mosquito, and at the same time destroyed the "Blood Crow" in front of it, calming down the space-time shock caused by the warp drive.

The deputy captain shouted in his ear: "Your Highness..."

Tai Lun knew what he wanted to say, and also knew what he should do. Right now, he had no time to waste, nor did he have time to sigh.

"Driving team, start the warp drive now... let's get out of here."

Before Tai Lun finished speaking, the driving team leader pushed down the joystick with sweaty hands... They have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Although in terms of time, it was only a short time before and after, but in terms of feeling, it seemed as if several months had passed.

Regular engine failure does not mean that the warp drive cannot be used, and the balance system is only slightly offline, and now it has been restarted. Although the warm-up has not been completed just now, there are some risks, but they can't control that much.

When the beam of light turned from bright to dark, and many fluorescent lights disappeared, a faint blue flame burst out from the warp thruster at the tail of the "Snow Wind", and a dazzling brilliance lit up the lacking symmetry of the hull, and disappeared in this area in an instant. airspace.

After the "Yukikaze" left, some Lionheart independent fleet warships also tried to leave the battlefield. Some managed to escape from Kehanos because of their location, while some were disturbed by corrupters and flying dragons and failed.

The result of success is naturally to save life. Unsuccessful results may not necessarily result in loss of life.

The captains of some battleships, knowing that they had lost their chance, chose to give up resistance and surrender to the 23rd Ranger Regiment. Only a small number of battleships resisted stubbornly, and were sent to hell by the battleships of the Corruptor and the 23rd Ranger Regiment.

Among these surrendered warships, the Doomsday Fleet controlled by Tyron performed the most straightforwardly. More than half of the warships chose to give up resistance. The Lionheart King's independent fleet is only a little over one-third. From this we can see the gap between the two fleets, and from this we can see the gap between Tyron and Turamon.

Elizabeth did not mean slander when she said he was the weakest of the Psalmwell brothers.

Of the 1,300 warships in the Doomsday Fleet, excluding more than 300 ships damaged in the battle, about 700 warships chose to surrender, and less than 200 warships escaped from Kehanos.

Of the more than 2,900 warships in the Lionheart's independent fleet, only about 900 surrendered, part of which was due to the mutiny of grassroots sergeants who killed the commander of the bridge; part of the warships were severely damaged. Unable to fight, the command had no choice but to surrender for the sake of the safety of the entire ship's soldiers; only about 200 warships were really tired of war and gave up resistance.

About 1,200 remaining warships sank, and only nearly 700 warships evacuated safely. Even if they were damaged during the battle with the main force of the 23rd Ranger Regiment in the deep space outside of Khanos, they sailed to the Bokeby star system. More than 300 warships undergoing repairs. After this battle, the United Kingdom of Turanx is known as the independent fleet of the Lionheart King in the entire Hillenbel region. From the original 5,000 warships, it has been reduced to the point where there is only one conventional fleet left.

well known. With the current level of technology, it is easy to defeat the opponent, but it is very difficult to defeat the opponent, let alone defeat, or even annihilate. The Lionheart King's Independent Fleet + Doomsday Fleet combined forces were more powerful than the 23rd Ranger Regiment + biological battleship group, but ended up in a disastrous defeat. It really hurts that almost even the establishment was wiped out.

Of course, the Tang side also suffered a lot of losses, Mellor died; the Skywalker Guard had only more than 120 warships left; half of the defense fleet was wiped out; even the Corruptor and Flying Dragon lost nearly 400 people; The 23rd Ranger Regiment has lost nearly one-third of its staff. However, compared to the losses of the new faction forces, it is already very little.

Anthem Will died; Turamon and Elizabeth were captured; the Sons of War was wiped out; the Brionac system crashed; the "Blood Raven" exploded; the remaining ships of the Lionheart King's independent fleet were less than a thousand... More importantly, After this battle, the Khanos star system completely fell into the hands of the old-school forces and Tang Fang.

This is not Congreve's Aladale star system, but Khanos, the heart of the country.

To put it bluntly, in this war, Tang Fang and Henrietta's coalition forces defeated Hymn Will and won a victory that shocked many people. This will add another glorious monument to Captain Tang's legendary journey. Many will cheer for it, many will cheer for it...

However, at this moment, he didn't feel any joy. Many people died in Cabreto, and many people died in Nasiro. victory? No, there is no winning side in this war, whether it is Henrietta, Praise Will, or him, it is the losing side.

Today's martial arts are forged with countless bones... As far as the eye can see, every corner of the Khanos star system is filled with the breath of destruction and the whimpering of dead souls.

Although he had awakened a long time ago, and although the memory from Tang Yan made him used to seeing death, when he personally led such a war for so-called "justice" and "freedom", he was still somewhat sad and desolate.

Sadness is for others, sadness is for oneself.

This is only the Khanos battlefield, this is only the territory of the United Kingdom of Turanx. If Elena's wish, Cyke Bacal's revenge, Cui Eunhao's ideal, and Congreve's will are to be fulfilled, there will be more How much blood? How many more tears do you have to shed?

Of course, even though he felt uncomfortable, even though he didn't want to see more bloodshed and death, he still wanted to go ahead and finish it.

Before he came to the United Kingdom of Turanx, he didn't realize how heavy the responsibility was on his shoulders. At that time, he only had to be responsible for the crew on the "Morning Star", himself and his family.

Now, he finally understands that with great power comes great responsibility.

This is not the narrow "responsibility" implemented by the protagonists in some heroic movies whose goal is to save mankind and the world.

The goals of the protagonists are really simple and childish...

What he is doing now is not to drive the aliens who invaded human society back to their hometown, nor is it to directly surrender by force like he did to Harrington Harris.

Henrietta once said, "Politics is people's hearts".

The human heart is the most fickle, complex, and elusive thing in this world.

He fought for the power of the people of the United Kingdom of Turanx, and perhaps it was not admiration but a curse. He shouted for the dignity of life, perhaps what he received was not support, but indifference. He exhausted his efforts to make this society more fair, and perhaps he was greeted with ridicule.

Responsibility is not terrible like mountains and rivers, but responsibility is as heavy as people's hearts.

The enemy can be defeated by force, but the human heart... cannot.

He chose to help Elena, Sai Ke, Cui Eunhao and others change the country, which is tantamount to putting himself in the quagmire of people's hearts. This is very difficult, this is very tormented, but since you have made a choice, you must face the responsibilities brought about by this choice bravely.

He is not used to regretting, let alone backing down. Fortunately, he still has many partners to rely on.

On the road full of wind and rain, as long as someone is with you, you don't have to go alone, that's enough.

The light of the phase crystal at the front of the Void Glow Ship faded slowly, and the three fluid force field projectors closed inward like blooming flowers, and the light that was enough to confuse the human eye was no longer there.

The battleships of the 23rd Ranger Regiment nearby were quiet, neither taking over the surrendered warships nor chasing those fleeing warships.

When Tang Fang jumped into the cockpit of the special operations transport ship, the Void Glow Ship slowly sank into a ball of streamer and disappeared in this airspace. Then, those warships reacted, and the propellers began to eject surging flames towards different advance in the direction.

He knew why, and he also knew that Sliffin had too many questions, and those people in Seth Naval Port had too many shocks, but he didn't have the heart to answer those questions, and he didn't have time to respond to those shocks.

"Scorpion" ran away, and "Blood Raven" was detonated by the void glow ship. He was quite satisfied with the result. As for the "Snow Wind"... To be honest, he didn't care about Tyron Olipold.

In his eyes, those princes are much more important than His Royal Highness. (To be continued.)
