Chapter 429: Phantom Shooting King
It is not surprising that Murat, Louis, Jacob and others are here. Although the Atlas fleet led by Cliffs is still in Pyra IV, in order to complete the "Defense of A·Bava·Ku", Amber still pulled these elite pilots and drivers back with their equipment.
At this moment, in Amber's own team, in addition to Murat and Louis, there are three other excellent pilots who have been excavated.
Moreover, under Amber's "ravage", the driving skills of these five people can be said to have grown rapidly, and they have all completed body transformation surgery one after another to adapt to the pressure on the human body under superb driving skills.
The aircraft of the five of them has also been changed from the previous Holy Shield to the "Giant" heavy HCP tested by Amber himself.
After the actual combat test of Pyra IV, the Equipment R&D Center once again upgraded and adjusted this machine that is different from the conventional HCP route.
Considering that this heavy HCP belongs to a specialized group for space warfare, and its main combat scenario is also assault operations in space, or as supplementary firepower for fleet warfare, the situation of a single aircraft entering the atmosphere like Amber before is a low-probability event.
Therefore, the design team of the R&D center directly cancelled the stepping unit of the machine and replaced it with a larger additional propulsion component to increase the maneuverability and acceleration capability of the model.
Coupled with a higher-power power unit, superconducting battery pack, and additional armed backpack, the various indicators of the machine have been pulled up a lot.
In addition to the shape becoming more and more like the phantom machine "Deep Assault" in Amber's previous life memory, the physical fitness requirements for the pilot have also reached a perverted level.
If the body is not strengthened, a simple acceleration alone will make you faint.
But even with Amber's level of physical fitness, ordinary heavy hydraulic anti-gravity suits are not enough, so the driver is directly fixed to the seat by a set of hard buffer devices.
This also made Amber couldn't help but come up with the idea of "or let Lilith create a dedicated combat AI to use."
However, this plan could not catch up with the battle on A. Bawa Ku's side, so in the end, it was still Murat and others who were driving.
"Boss, after this battle, I think you should be able to get a title like 'King of Kills', right?" Louis, who was always taciturn, suddenly spoke in the communication channel.
And his words quickly aroused the enthusiasm of others to discuss. After all, whether it was an HCP pilot or a driver of a heavy armored combat boat, they were very concerned about the most intuitive honor of 'kill count'.
"Oh, yes, maybe it's already now?" Murat also reacted belatedly. If he was not fixed in the seat now, he would have wanted to slap his thigh.
"I calculated it. From Robert IV to Pyra IV's solo brushing of the orbital attack ship division, plus the ground battle, whether it was the number of ordinary unit kills, HCP kills, or ship sinkings, no one else should be able to surpass it, right?"
There were a large number of Amber's 'fans' among the pilots and drivers of Atlas, so someone soon roughly calculated Amber's kill count.
Since Amber had never had the time to count these things before, he didn't know how many enemies he had killed while driving the HCP. However, after the "fans" calculated the number, it would be a lie to say that he was not secretly happy.
But at the same time, Amber's mentality has already changed. Although the number of kills is important, it is no longer the most important honor for him.
"Oh, it's all false reputation~"
Amber responded with a smile in the communication channel:
"Neither the Federation nor the Star Dragon Empire will count or recognize my achievements, so we can just have fun with this kind of data. If I can become the goal you want to surpass, it would be my honor.
Besides, if you really want to talk about the number of kills, in fact, our miner leader George is the real king of kills. How many warships did he destroy with these two shots."
"Fuck, it seems to be the truth."
"No! George's is too foul. Map cannon AOE does not count as kills!"
"That's right, we all cut and bombarded one by one, and he sat there and finished two rounds of AOE in a few clicks. It's different!"
The 'pre-war discussion' extended from this topic also reduced the tension in the hearts of all pilots and drivers. The excitement and excitement in their hearts about the upcoming attack on the huge joint fleet also surpassed the original fear.
Soon, the disconnection of the joint fleet became more and more obvious, which also gave Amber and others an excellent attack window.
"Jacob, is the 'Deep Sea Fish' squadron ready?"
Before finally lighting up the huge plasma propulsion array of the 'Giant', Amber made the final confirmation in the communication channel encrypted by Lilith herself.
"All preparations have been completed, Boss. Each squadron will start the attack after you and others have completed the 'kick in the door' and attracted firepower. We will do our best to cause the greatest damage to the enemy!"
Jacob said in a firm tone. Since he "changed his job" from a supersonic reconnaissance aircraft pilot to a driver and commander-in-chief of a heavy armored combat boat, his temperament has completely changed.
"It's not necessary to exchange casualties for victory. We still give priority to ensuring our own survival. Whether it's you, Murat, Louis, etc., everyone, listen up. You are the most precious to Atlas. Assets, I would really feel bad if they were lost.”
Amber said with a smile, while pressing the light in the cockpit that 'confirmed the completion of the self-test'.
"And the main purpose of this attack is to plunge the enemy fleet into chaos and create the most favorable conditions for the unmanned fleet to enter and harvest, so I hope you can all return home safely!"
"Understood, Boss!"
Hearing the uniform answers in the communication channel, Amber smiled, then fully started the body and quickly pushed the throttle valve to the 'maximum thrust'.
"Get started! Let's hunt these enemies down!"
As Amber's voice rang in the communication channel, his dazzling red machine rushed out immediately. With a large number of plasma propulsion arrays operating at maximum power, the entire machine instantly transformed into the most dazzling machine on the battlefield. A meteor rushed towards the disjointed warships in the second half of the military-industrial complex's combined fleet.
This 'meteor' that suddenly appeared in the direction of the zenith was quickly captured by the air defense commanders of the ships of the combined fleet.
And they almost immediately thought of the video that went viral on the Internet, and the man in the video who single-handedly destroyed the entire orbital attack ship squadron in the orbit of Para IV and toyed with three cruisers. red body.
"It's over, it's over! It's the red devil! MD, why are you so unlucky?"
"Fuck! The anti-aircraft weapons team has lifted the ammunition release restriction! Fire with all your strength! Don't let him get close!"
"boom!"
The large airborne heavy particle cannon attacked at a distance of 6,000 kilometers and accurately hit a light cruiser with its upper deck exposed. The violent jet of heavy metal particles tore open the rear half of the ship that was not protected by a deflection force field.
Because the superconducting battery stack was directly hit, the high-temperature plasma fireball generated by the quench effect expanded from the inside out and swallowed one third of the ship's hull. At the same time, this dazzling fire also symbolized the fall of Amber. King's title, which is not officially recognized, is getting closer.
