Chapter 103 Destroying Ammunition
"Boom..."
Dazzling fire flashed, and the "Earth Elf" drones that rushed towards the fleet at high speed crashed into the void shield one after another.
At the moment of collision, the "Fire Elf" drones disintegrated directly, and burst into flames one after another.
"Shield?"
Rex was shocked by the loss of more than a dozen "Fire Elf" drones at once.
"All ships, listen to the order, the enemy ship has a shield, fire, fire immediately!"
Is the range of the shield too large?
The "Earth Elf" drone was still some distance away from the hull, but it crashed into the shield.
You should know that the shields of warships in EVE are close to the armor surface.
With Rex's order, less than two seconds of delay, the drone group received new instructions.
"Da Da..."
The "Earth Elf" drones flying around the fleet like flies opened fire.
The multi-barreled speed runners turned wildly, spewing out long tongues of fire.
Two fire dragons suddenly shot out and hit the void shield, causing dense small explosions.
"Shield energy drops to 97%, 96%, 95%..."
On the bridge, listening to the report of the Tech Priest, Ralph's face darkened.
"This is impossible. The enemy's aircraft-borne weapons are small-caliber cannons. How can they be so powerful?"
Li Meng also frowned slightly.
In EVE, the weapons used by drones are a mystery.
With unlimited ammunition, even against Titans, it can cause certain damage.
Could this weird "feature" be inherited by the real technology template?
"It is a kind of unknown fusion material bullet that can annihilate all matter within a certain range, including energy elements."
The explanation of a Tech Priest gave Ralph and Li Meng the answer.
Annihilation ammunition?
Ultra-micro nuclear fusion bomb?
The explosion range is small, but the explosion power is large?
At this time, outside, the battle entered a white-hot stage.
This is a feast of small-caliber weapons.
In the dark starry sky, the Imperial Fleet's close-in automatic guns fired at full force.
The firepower of hundreds of close-in automatic guns is dense enough.
From a distance, dense barrages rise from the hull, like flowers scattered by fairies.
The "Earth Elf" drones running around the warships burst out fireballs from time to time.
Dozens of drones are like flies running around, sometimes flying away, sometimes charging.
The Gatling multi-barrel rapid-fire guns spewed out long tongues of fire, and a stream of fire dragons hit the void shield.
There were dense small explosions, causing ripples in the void shield.
At the same time, in the star field at the border of the star system.
In the communication channel of the "Free Democratic Federation" fleet.
"No, the loss will be too great if we continue like this. Let's retreat. First find a route to a habitable planet, and then concentrate our forces to fight the enemy."
"The void shield cannot block slow targets. We can slow down the drone to pass through the void shield and attack at close range."
"That's a setting in the game. This feature may not exist in reality."
"Just give it a try..."
"No, once the drone slows down, it will be hit by the enemy's close defense firepower."
"Don't disperse the firepower. Focus on attacking one of them. Even if you can't win, you have to test the strength of the enemy's warship's shield."
"Retreat first. Don't lose too much power before the decisive battle..."
The fleet channel was arguing.
This battle was the first fleet battle in the lives of many captains.
The strength of the enemy's warships made the captains a little uncomfortable.
In the "Star-level" command destroyer, Rex quickly browsed the battlefield data.
In less than ten minutes of fighting, the side had lost one-third of the drones.
And the enemy's warships didn't even break the shield.
"All ships, listen to the order, focus fire on the other side's flagship, don't feel sorry for the loss of the "Earth Elf" drone, as long as the mothership is still there, the logistics fleet will continuously send "Earth Elf" drones, attack immediately, quickly!"
With Rex's order, the debate in the communication channel disappeared instantly.
On the other side, in the star field battlefield near Star No. 1.
The battle situation has changed again.
The "Earth Elf" drones that were running around the fleet like flies suddenly turned together.
Pounced on the "Firestorm Class" escort ship.
For a while, dense fire dragons were intertwined in the dark starry sky.
From all directions, the "Earth Elf" drones launched a charge towards the "Firestorm Class" escort ship.
Dense explosions suddenly occurred on the shields on all four sides of the "Firestorm Class" escort ship.
The void shield flashed wildly, and the ripples were circling one after another.
"Boom..."
The closer to the fleet, the easier it is for the drone to be hit.
When they swooped down at once, several or even more than ten drones would be destroyed.
Balls of flames would occasionally burst out in the starry sky outside the void shield.
The "Firestorm-class" has too many close-in automatic cannons, more than 200 of them, and they are 100mm caliber.
Once hit, even if there is only one shell, the drone can be easily destroyed.
After all, the drone is only nine meters long, without a shield, and can only rely on the structure to withstand it.
Small bodies naturally do not have thick armor.
Suddenly, the shining void shield shattered...
Under the continuous firepower of the drone, the void shield finally broke in less than five minutes.
"Attack, concentrate firepower!"
Seeing that the enemy ship's shield had been broken, Rex let out an excited roar.
Finally broken, finally broken...
The drone lost nearly half of its shield and finally broke the enemy ship's shield.
With Chris's order, there was only a two-second delay.
On the battlefield, one after another "Elf" drone rushed towards the "Firestorm-class" escort ship.
The multi-barreled rapid-fire cannon spewed out long tongues of fire.
Countless fire dragons flew across the starry sky and hit the hull of the "Firestorm-class" escort ship.
The hull of the "Firestorm-class" escort ship suddenly experienced dense small explosions.
The seemingly thick armor was torn apart layer by layer, and each shot would melt a small piece of armor.
When one after another obliteration bullet hit the same place, even the thickest armor could be penetrated.
A "Earth Elf" drone targeted a close-in defense turret.
It flew almost close to the hull, avoiding the gunfire while the two multi-barreled rapid-fire guns on the nose opened fire.
The shining flames spurted out, and two bursts of firepower suddenly shot out.
It instantly crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and crashed into the close-in defense turret.
The close-in defense turret suddenly experienced dense explosions, and the armor was torn apart layer by layer.
It only lasted for two seconds, and the turret exploded and turned into a gorgeous fireball.
And this situation happened on all sides of the "Firestorm-class" hull.
A drone was hit, and a ball of fire burst out.
Metal debris hit the hull like flowers scattered by a fairy.
There were also close-in defense turrets that were hit, and they also flashed into a ball of fire.
Some drones even targeted the engine of the "Firestorm Class".
But as soon as they approached, they were shot down by dense artillery fire.
The close-in defense guns near the engine were the most densely packed, and the firepower was more fierce.
It was not easy to break through the line of fire.
