Chapter 124 The Punctual Elf

The silver-white steel giant left the warship under the acceleration of the electromagnetic catapult track.

Amber in the Zealot's cockpit pushed the power of the plasma propulsion array to the maximum. In a long-lost feeling of being pushed back, a long blue tail flame was dragged behind the Zealot, and it rushed towards the Swift Strike less than 3,000 kilometers away like a meteor.

"Warning! Strong electric field detected, judged as the target heavy particle cannon shooting, pay attention to avoid."

Lilith's voice sounded in the cockpit, and at the same time a simulated ray appeared on the screen of the full-circle cockpit.

Amber twisted her body skillfully, controlling the Zealot to stay away from the ray and rush towards the lower hemisphere of the Swift Strike.

Soon, a blue-white beam suddenly lit up and overlapped with the virtual ray.

Amber, who was accelerating, tilted her head slightly and looked at a small window on the screen showing the scene behind. The bow of the Glory of the Past was now wrapped by a large group of bright and twisted electric snakes.

Both sides are frigates of the same model, and their weapons and deflection field generators are of the same model.

As long as the deflection field is not forgotten, it is difficult for the heavy particle cannon to sink the target with one shot.

This is why Amber was heartbroken about the perfect shooting opportunity she had just lost.

However, he had calmed down at this time. After all, the gunner was forced to take on the task after emergency training. In addition, the combat area was near the star, and the gravitational field and magnetic field were originally unstable.

In addition, due to the serious shortage of ship personnel, Lilith took over almost all subsystem operation and maintenance, monitoring, and a large amount of real-time data analysis.

At this time, Lilith had not yet grown into the "Crimson Queen" of her previous life.

This resulted in her not being able to allocate much computing power to help the gunner correct the trajectory.

This scene was not the first time Amber had experienced it.

In the early days of the game, players often encountered a situation where they obtained a ship but did not have a ship-borne control personality with stronger comprehensive performance.

In this case, the player groups on these ships often needed to perform manual operations to maintain the operation of the warship.

Although it is a game, in order to increase the sense of immersion, the designers still made the manual operation process a bit hardcore.

This also makes players often make mistakes due to operational errors.

The position of gunner is even more severely affected, and each of them is a master of ship hull outline.

It is too common for the two sides to shoot at each other for 20 minutes without even removing the ship paint.

"But it is still too outrageous to miss the target by 3,000 kilometers. I still have to recruit a more reliable professional gunner later."

At this moment, Amber missed the gunner of her flagship very much.

This female player with the ID "Takamachi Nanoha" can even play a lot of exquisite tricks at a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers with the assistance of the ship-borne control personality.

Although in large-scale fleet battles, the warships of both sides have assigned their own targets, and then shoot at the pre-aiming points on the target track with the assistance of the control personality, the role of the gunner is more to determine the timing, method and type of attack.

But in small-scale confrontations, excellent gunners can often use their experience and skills to make some incredible attacks.

At present, the two frigates have entered the stage of shooting.

The temporary gunner on the Glory of the Past has finally adapted to the shooting of the battleship's main gun. Although the shooting of the heavy particle cannon was blocked by the opponent's deflection field, at least it was on target.

At this time, the actions of both sides were completely consistent.

It was nothing more than turning on the deflection field, taking a shot from the enemy's main gun, and then turning off the deflection field and switching the energy supply to the main gun, and then counterattacking. This cycle repeats.

Although Lilith tried to launch an electronic warfare attack, the opponent was very cunning and closed all communication channels, and even the blue-green laser communication unit was offline.

Faced with such an iron can that almost physically isolated herself, Lilith had no idea where to start for a while.

Perhaps for heavy cruisers and battleships with multiple fusion reactors and more sufficient energy supply, some other attacks can be mixed in between the main gun shooting, making the battle process more complicated.

But for frigates, it was just a boring shooting game of you and I.

In this case, the competition is about the maintenance of each unit of the ships of both sides, and the degree of tacit cooperation between the crew members on board.

Amber naturally knows that there are a bunch of half-baked people on her ship - no, these guys are not even half-baked, because there is not even a serious crew member among them.

Such a combination is undoubtedly self-humiliating to compete with the crew of Swift Strike in terms of proficiency and tacit cooperation.

As long as the stalemate lasts for a while, it will definitely be our warship that has lost its rhythm.

That's why Amber rushed to attack, ready to take the initiative before the opponent releases the HCP.

In the case of a confrontation with its own warship, the Swift Strike would never dare to adjust its axis.

The deflection force field of the bow must be used to meet the enemy, so the job of driving away the enemy's HCP can only be handed over to the high-energy laser launcher and charged particle cannon arranged on the ship, and then release its own HCP to protect the rear hemisphere of the warship.

If facing a monster like a heavy cruiser or a battleship, Amber would definitely not drive this mass-produced HCP to show off.

But now it is just an isolated high-speed frigate, which is a piece of cake for an old hand like Amber.

The laminated armor shield with anti-beam coating mounted on the left side has slid from the bracket of the shoulder armor to the left arm and fully unfolded.

The deflection field generator built into the shield has also been activated.

Under Amber's posture control, most of the torso of the body is now hidden behind the shield.

Facing weapons such as high-energy lasers and charged particle cannons that attack at the speed of light, don't think about avoiding them. The best way to deal with them is to honestly put up a shield and resist them.

Moreover, the Swift Strike has to fire with its main gun from time to time and maintain the operation of the deflection field generator, so the attack frequency of both high-energy lasers and charged particle beams is not high.

Amber glanced at the durability of the shield. The memory metal on the surface even has time to repair and reorganize under this attack frequency.

The captain of the other side obviously knew that such an attack might not even be able to contain it, so he also started the HCP emergency attack procedure.

Little did they know that this was what Amber was waiting for.

After more than a minute of high-speed advance, the distance between Amber and the Swift Strike was less than 600 kilometers.

At this time, the opponent's emergency Zealot had just been transferred to the ejection track through the elevator.

The heavy particle cannon on the weapon rack on the left rear of Amber's body had been deployed.

"Reduce the output power of the heavy particle cannon, set the initial velocity to 500 kilometers per second, and the irradiation time to 1.5 seconds."

Amber skillfully adjusted the setting parameters of the heavy particle cannon, and then fired without any hesitation.

Whether it was the HCP on the electromagnetic ejection track or the Swift Strike frigate, at this moment, they issued a warning of "strong electric field detected!"

The pilot of the HCP knew that if he didn't get out, he would become a target. He immediately pressed the virtual ejection button, and the body instantly accelerated and rushed forward.

But at this moment, a huge "light sword" swept directly over.

Before the pilot could react, the Zealot crashed into it during the acceleration of the electromagnetic track.

Without the deflection field, even if this HCP is a solid iron lump, it can't withstand this heavy metal particle jet.

So this enthusiast was cut into two pieces by this huge "light sword" without any surprise.

The pilot in the cockpit was directly vaporized.

But this is not over yet. Amber, who has turned around and started to slow down by relying on the back propulsion array, hit the elevator responsible for transporting HCP with a charged particle beam.

In a short time, this frigate can no longer threaten Amber.

After doing all this with satisfaction, Amber took off the electromagnetic rifle on the weapon rack and began to attack the attitude nozzle on the starboard side of the Swift Strike.

"Warning! The hangar elevator and the electromagnetic catapult track at the bottom of the ship are damaged! Subsequent HCP delivery cannot be carried out!"

"Warning! The attitude nozzle on the starboard side is damaged in a large area, and the emergency turning ability of the battleship is reduced."

When the warnings rang through the bridge, Captain Klein of the Swift Strike knew that everything was over.

The final direction of the battle was almost the same as Amber had predicted in her mind.

With its steering ability seriously reduced, the Swift Strike frigate, whose main propulsion array was nearly half destroyed by Amber, was successfully cut into the side hemisphere by the Glory of the Past.

This time, the gunner did not waste the opportunity.

The full-power shooting of the main gun hit the middle of the ship and penetrated the fusion reactor. With the help of the electromagnetic reconnection gun and Amber, the superconducting battery stack of the Confession-class frigate was successfully detonated.

The nearly 400-meter-long warship turned into a huge plasma fireball in an instant.

At this time, Amber in the HCP cockpit was quietly watching the time in the upper right corner of the multi-function display.

When the time number jumped to the agreed time, the warning of "space collapse detected!" sounded simultaneously in the HCP cockpit and the bridge of the warship.

Then, a huge ship emerged from a space crack that suddenly opened 1,000 kilometers away.

The overall green color and the biological ship-style shape prove that this ship belongs to the elves of the Thousand Star Empire.

"What the hell?! Tranquil Garden-class armed cruise ship"
