Chapter 544 Halftime
The red ‘holy shield’ smashed the target HCP’s head omnidirectional sensor with a high-speed charge, and at the same time, it directly hit the cockpit armor of the body and caused a large dent.
While the opponent’s HCP pilot was knocked unconscious and unable to respond effectively, Johnny Riding used the heavy sword to destroy the opponent’s mechanical arm and the deployed electromagnetic reconnection gun at the same time.
Using the reverse thrust of the attitude control nozzle, after a little distance, Johnny Riding pierced the cockpit of the target in front of him with a swift thrust.
The cockpit door, which was heavily protected by the laminated armor, was difficult to defend against the plasma heavy sword’s near-zero-distance thrust - after all, the former was designed to quickly ‘open the can’.
Moreover, the prototype of this thing was originally a tool used by engineering robots to mine on asteroids in the past. The hard rock bodies in the asteroid belt were no problem, not to mention the cockpit armor that was only a thin layer in comparison.
"Very good, the subcritical reactor and superconducting battery were not detonated."
Draw the sword, force heat dissipation, and then let the memory metal that makes up the sword body begin to self-repair.
Johnny Riding completed this set of operations skillfully, and then hid behind the wreckage of the machine in front of him and calmly avoided several long-range attacks, and quickly locked the next target.
At this stage, he no longer had the fear and fear at the beginning, but began to become more and more excited.
And the opponent's next reaction made him laugh out loud.
Looking at the attack formation formed by four HCPs in the distance, after killing him under the cover of others, Johnny Riding even "can't wait" to meet him.
It is obvious that the opponent's continuous long-range attacks just now have caused these long-range weapons equipped on the machine to be in the process of re-cooling, cooling, and charging, so the four machines that rushed over at this time also drew out the plasma heavy swords, intending to come up for hand-to-hand combat.
It was like playing some classic competitive games, where you use all your skills right at the start, and then you can only rely on basic attacks while waiting for the CD.
So when Manfred completed the task and quickly came back to support Johnny Riding, what he saw was a red HCP chasing and slashing at a poor guy under the enemy's 'encirclement and interception'.
"Boom!"
As the double-mounted main guns of the heavy armored combat boat smashed an HCP that was suppressing from a medium and long distance from the six o'clock direction, and flashed past the expanding plasma fireball, the HCPs that were besieging Johnny Riding realized that the enemy's friendly forces were coming.
"Yo~ It seems that you don't need my support."
While driving the heavy armored combat boat to cut through the outside of the 'spherical formation' formed by the enemy HCP, Manfred, who was a little more relaxed, even joked.
"Stop talking nonsense, come and help me. My heavy sword has overheated, and the deflection field is on the verge of overload!"
Johnny Riding dodged the enemy's slash in front of him, and took advantage of the short acceleration of the plasma propulsion array to kick out a "flying kick" - this is also a "fighting trick" from the Atlas HCP squadron.
After causing the enemy's posture to be unbalanced for a moment, according to the pilot's technical level, he can also follow up with attack moves such as rapid shooting, stabbing, climbing, and cross slash.
And Johnny Riding did not hesitate to choose the "climbing" with his personal style.
After he split the enemy's shield and cockpit armor with one sword, the plasma heavy sword in the hand of this red "holy shield" finally completed its mission. When the memory metal could no longer repair itself, it collapsed into several pieces.
Seeing this scene, several other HCPs around that were originally hesitant immediately accelerated and rushed up, intending to take advantage of the great opportunity of Johnny Riding's lost weapon to get rid of this difficult opponent first.
At the moment when the pilots of these HCPs rushed up, shouting words like "courage" and "glory" to encourage each other.
Manfred, who completed a large-angle turn from another direction, drove a heavy armored combat boat like a "mud truck" and rushed towards these HCPs.
The 30-meter-class MA-01B block5 is naturally much higher than these 10-meter-high HCPs in terms of energy output power.
Therefore, the power of the deflection field generator equipped by it is also several times that of the opponent.
After Manfred put the deflection field generator into super-power operation mode, the thickness of this "shield" exceeded the imagination of these HCP pilots.
Then, Manfred, who had calculated the route, accurately passed through the advancing routes of these HCPs, and then completed a "one-shot hit" with the activated deflection field.
While using huge kinetic energy to injure these HCPs and bounce them away, Johnny Riding also enjoyed a "space bowling" performance performed by the heavy armored combat boat and HCP at a close distance.
"Full score!"
The HCP head omnidirectional sensor that popped out from behind the heavy shield recorded this wonderful moment, and also recorded the scene where these bounced HCPs were blown up on the spot by a large number of beams shot from a distance while re-adjusting their posture.
The friendly unit finally arrived.
——
"Sir, the battle seems to have been decided. The next step is to pursue the remaining enemies."
On the bridge of the Infinity, the duty officer standing next to Randall breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the three-dimensional battlefield situation map that was slowly covered with green.
"Yes, but we still can't take it lightly!"
Randall, who was also relieved, nodded, and then looked at the garrison fleet that had been separated and fighting on their own, or directly fired white flares to surrender, and continued:
"Persuade them to surrender on the public channel. Of course, there is no need to talk nonsense about those who don't want to surrender, just kill them directly. In short, let the entire fleet quickly resolve the battle!"
"Yes, sir!"
After Randall's order was issued, the surviving garrison fleet warships in the universe quickly received the surrender information from the public channel.
And this newly rebuilt fleet obviously did not do enough in terms of loyalty building. After the fleet flagship 'Balkan' was sunk by the enemy in a way that was almost 'wall-banging', the morale of the entire fleet was also greatly affected.
So not long after Atlas sent out the surrender message, white flares representing "surrender" appeared one after another in the entire universe.
As for the warships with a relatively high proportion of old crew members who were unwilling to surrender, the Third Combined Fleet did not waste time with them and directly sank them one by one in the form of concentrated fire attacks.
And by the way, they also carried out a wave of "killing the chicken to scare the monkey" operations on the ships of other garrison fleets, so that the crew members on these warships who were still hesitant immediately abandoned the hesitation in their hearts and surrendered quickly.
Seeing that the battlefield had been completely controlled and the work of receiving surrendered ships was proceeding in an orderly manner, Randall said to the officer on duty beside him:
"After controlling all the enemy warships, lower the fleet's combat readiness level, and then you look through the exploration star map left by the engineering team before, find an asteroid belt with better output, and let the fleet jump there to rest. I'm going to make a remote contact with the headquarters."
Randall stood up, stretched his stiff body, and then continued:
"By the way, send me the casualty report as soon as it comes out. Also, let everyone take turns to rest after arriving in the safe area. This battle may have just been halfway through."
