Chapter 39 I'll Still Beat You Up

The Imperial Fleet fired two rounds of missiles before entering the range of the Snow Peak's main guns.

Hundreds of missiles escaped in the firepower net woven by the two warships, causing 70% armor damage to the Snow Peak.

Unfortunately, with the continuous repair of the Redemption, the armor loss of the Snow Peak has remained at around 23%.

Dorant was a little confused. According to past experience, shouldn't the warship that was devastated by missiles be sunk at this time?

Although Dorant was reluctant to sink the warship in front of him, he had no say in what happened on the battlefield.

"How can she be so strong?"

Dorant once thought that his weapons chief was just slacking off.

But the weapons chief was also very depressed, he had tried his best.

Many times, he ignored the terrifyingly high temperature of the launch nest to place the missiles in place. If it was Qi Yiming, he would definitely give him a medal of dedication.

"High-energy reaction detected, the enemy's main gun is charging..." The radar commander under Dorant reported the battlefield information in time.

"Impossible, the two sides are more than 300,000 kilometers apart, how can the attack be completed at this position." The adjutant said in surprise.

Dorant was much calmer: "Don't forget, the main gun range of that ancient warship is more than 300,000 kilometers."

Everyone remembered that the Snow Peak seemed to have just completed an incredible interaction with the Redemption.

This shows that the enemy ships in their eyes, the Snow Peak and the Redemption, are from the same source.

"All ships should pay attention to avoid artillery fire and increase the distance..." Dorant did not explain any more. At this moment, he did not feel fear, on the contrary, he was very excited.

Originally, he thought that he would only get one ancient warship in this mission, but he did not expect to have an unexpected surprise.

He has begun to imagine the reward from the empire after capturing these two warships.

As the saying goes, empiricism kills people, and this is sometimes very true.

Qi Yiming fought the Empire with his experience in the Xuanwu Galaxy, while Dorant attacked Qi Yiming according to the attack strength and accuracy of the Redemption.

The two sides did not fight at once.

If Qi Yiming's Xuefeng had not had the Redemption behind him to "replenish blood", it would have become space junk at this time.

And the two front and rear backpack triple-mounted main guns of the Xuefeng were extremely accurate with the support of the fire control system of the Exploration.

In a salvo of main guns, nine bursting lasers drew a charming trajectory in the empty space, accurately kissing a cruiser in the Imperial Fleet.

It can only be said that the monkey version of the battleship in the Xuanwu Galaxy was castrated too severely. After taking nine bursting lasers, the Empire's cruiser was only severely damaged and barely supported and withdrew from the battlefield.

This really scared Dorant.

"Is this a guess? The opponent's weapon is so powerful?" Dorant muttered in his heart, still calm on the surface.

But he did not dare to be arrogant anymore, and immediately ordered a change of formation.

"Attention, all ships, form a spherical formation with this ship as the center..."

It must be said that the captains of the Empire have received good training, and the formation has been changed in an orderly manner.

During this period, the Xuefeng fired again.

This time, Qi Yiming was relieved a lot. The Empire's frigate-level warships were still so vulnerable to the attacks of the Xuefeng and the Redemption.

The destroyers, as the backbone of the fleet, performed slightly better. If the Xuefeng wanted to sink the destroyer, it would take two salvos of two main guns to achieve the goal.

As an auxiliary warship, the Redemption's main gun shooting accuracy is obviously much worse than that of the Xuefeng.

Before the Empire fleet entered the best range of the main guns, the hit rate of the two main guns was less than 40%.

Even so, Qi Yiming's two warships used the range advantage to sink 7 frigates and 3 destroyers of the other side in the early stage of the battle.

And a cruiser was seriously injured and withdrew from the battlefield.

For a time, the missiles and density of the Imperial Fleet dropped a lot, and the secondary guns of the two warships could barely cope.

The armor integrity of the Xuefeng increased to 94% under the uninterrupted repair of the Redemption.

However, the situation on the battlefield did not develop in a direction favorable to Qi Yiming. The Imperial Fleet was trying to get closer, trying to bring Qi Yiming's warships into the range of its main guns.

Qi Yiming was not stupid either. He played a game called kite flying with the opponent, trying his best to reduce the number of Imperial warships.

Although the Xuefeng could easily get rid of the pursuit of the Imperial Fleet, the Redemption could not.

The Redemption did not have the abnormal instant overload energy supply ability of the Xuefeng. Even if the engine power was pushed to the maximum, it was still approached by the Imperial Fleet at a slow speed.

In order to ensure the safety of the Redemption, the Xuefeng had to slow down to resist most of the attacks for the Redemption.

In the end, Qi Yiming gave up the plan of kite flying and ordered the Redemption to enter the asteroid belt and use the complex terrain to avoid the attack of the Imperial Fleet.

The Xuefeng rushed towards the Imperial Fleet at full speed.

It’s not that Qi Yiming is reckless, but she has absolute confidence in the Redemption’s repair capabilities.

The most stressful time was the period before the Xuefeng rushed into the range of its secondary guns.

As long as it could hold out for this distance, with the secondary guns fully fired, the Xuefeng could kill most of the frigates and destroyers of the Imperial Fleet at an astonishing speed.

As long as it could sink most of the frigates and destroyers of the Empire, the Xuefeng could easily deal with the remaining warships even if they reduced their vitality output.

Dorant did not notice the abnormality of the Xuefeng and the Redemption, and still calmly urged the navigator to speed up.

The Imperial Fleet quickly closed the distance between the two sides as Dorant's ship accelerated.

"Report, the enemy ship entered the asteroid belt... Another warship is speeding towards us..."

Dorant smiled lightly: "Keep monitoring, this is the enemy's counterattack before failure, order all ships to pay attention to the formation. All main guns will fire at my command after entering the range..."

A few minutes later, the Zhong Xuefeng entered the main gun range of the Imperial Fleet.

It's time to test Qi Yiming's two warships.

With Dorant's order, all the warships of the Imperial Fleet opened fire at the same time, and the missile nests also launched missiles at the same time.

At this time, the Xuefeng not only had to face the missile attack like raindrops, but also had to face the main and secondary gun attacks of nearly 20 warships of various types.

In an instant, the integrity rate of the Xuefeng's outer armor dropped to 75%, and it dropped at a rate of 1% per second. If the Redemption had not stopped remote repairs, the Xuefeng would probably have turned around and ran away at this time.

Qi Yiming gritted his teeth and continued to advance, and the main gun of the Xuefeng was not idle.

After another salvo, a destroyer was sunk.

Although the Redemption was repairing at a distance, its main gun was also firing. Although the hit rate dropped again due to the slightly longer distance, it was lucky to sink two frigates.

After Dorant, who was originally full of confidence, ordered the fleet to fire salvos, the expected scene of paralyzing the Xuefeng did not appear.

Instead, his side suffered a greater loss.

At this time, the warships of both sides were 270,000 km apart, at the best firing distance of the Xuefeng's main gun and the effective firing distance of its secondary guns.

The internal energy supply pipeline of the Xuefeng changed under Qi Yiming's order.

The pipeline that originally provided energy to the engine at the maximum energy supply rate returned to the normal energy supply state.

The speed of the Xuefeng also dropped significantly.

The pipeline responsible for supplying energy to the weapon system was shining blue, and the main and secondary guns of the Xuefeng entered the full-strength firing stage.

The laser beams fired by the secondary guns were almost connected in a straight line, and the burst lasers fired by the main guns flew towards their targets at a speed of three per minute.

"Don't think that I only have one warship, I will still beat you up..." Qi Yiming sat in the bridge covered by armor, watching the screen on the battlefield monitor without blinking.

At this time, the formation of the imperial fleet was already shrouded in the flames of explosions one after another.
