Chapter 340: Actual Combat Test
The first to rush into the Black Flag Fleet were the Devotion-class heavy interceptors and the Heretic-class light interceptors.
After the interception force fields were set up in the Black Flag Fleet, the Zealot-class heavy assault cruiser fleet, as the main fleet, launched an attack on the conventional fleet outside the Black Flag Fleet in a tactical formation.
Because the Zealot-class heavy assault cruiser fleet was outside the periphery of the enemy, which made it difficult for the flagship to play a role, Adri Black Flag immediately ordered his War Demon-class heavy assault cruiser fleet to engage in close combat with it.
As for the enemy's interceptors that had already rushed into the fleet, there would naturally be small aircraft carriers and strafing dreadnoughts to deal with them!
Besides, it is impolite not to reciprocate, so Adri Black Flag also ordered the interceptors to rush into the fleet of the Imperial Crusaders, wanting to keep the opponent's flagship as well.
After the start of the Doomsday, the battle between the two sides broke out instantly.
After the last disastrous defeat with the Killing Angels super flagship fleet, Adrian Black Flag also learned a lesson. After discovering that the Apostle-class combat auxiliary ship was a flagship-class logistics ship, he made every effort to eliminate it.
Under the flagship firepower of the entire Black Flag Legion, the Apostle-class of the Imperial Crusaders First Legion was lost very quickly.
Unlike Adrian Black Flag's tactics, the commander of the Imperial Crusaders First Legion used the tactic of clearing firepower first. The first target of fire was not the flagship-class logistics ship of the Black Flag Legion, but the dreadnought!
Because unlike other flagships, the dreadnought cannot move after activating the battle module, and it cannot accept external repairs.
Facing such a live target, the Titan flagship-class battle cannon of the First Legion was accurate in every shot, and coupled with the cluster attack of the heavy iron cavalry of the Eternal Super Carrier, the dreadnought fleet of the Black Flag Legion was quickly written off.
"We can't go on like this, otherwise our dreadnought fleet will be finished before the enemy's logistics carrier is destroyed."
Adri Black Flag frowned as he looked at his dreadnought fleet that was quickly destroyed.
But now that things have come to this, if we give up like this, then everything we did before will be in vain.
So Adri Black Flag still ordered to continue to clear the Apostle-class combat auxiliary ships of the First Legion. After all the Apostle-class combat auxiliary ships were destroyed, he immediately and decisively ordered the fleet to switch fire to the God-class Titan of the First Legion!
After the remote repair without the logistics aircraft carrier, no matter how thick the armor of this Titan is, it will eventually be worn out.
Besides, the concentrated fire of all the flagships of the Black Flag Legion will still cause considerable damage to this God-class Titan, and it can always be killed!
As long as the opponent's Titan can be killed, it is worth it even if our own dreadnought fleet is completely wiped out!
Adri Black Flag's eyes were red, and he looked at the fleets fighting each other like a gambler.
The value of a Titan is not comparable to that of the Dreadnought Fleet and other flagships.
Just like two aircraft carrier fleets in the Pacific went to war, one of the fleets sank the other's aircraft carrier at the cost of the destruction of the escort fleet.
From the perspective of economic losses, it is obvious that the fleet with only one aircraft carrier surviving suffered more serious losses, but there is no doubt that the impact of this battle is very unfavorable to the fleet that lost the aircraft carrier.
Because aircraft carriers are not only a manifestation of strength, but also a country's face, and the impact is great.
In this world, this Titan is the same.
Just like the last time, the Black Flag Corps only had seven Titans left to escape back to the Beecher Meteoric Domain, but other forces only dared to mock them verbally, but did not dare to directly attack the Black Flag Corps. That's it.
As long as the Titans are there, the super flagship fleet is still there!
Therefore, the initial goal of Adrian Black Flag was to attack the Titans without logistical support with all his strength after clearing the combat auxiliary ships. As long as he could destroy one of the enemy Titans, it would not only boost his morale, but also hit the enemy's high momentum.
But the result was that Adrian Black Flag was so angry that his teeth were almost broken when he saw the God-level Titans that were still strong under his full-strength attack.
But now he was in a dilemma and could only go all the way.
Otherwise, if he just changed his target, it would be a huge blow to his morale!
Now the only plan was to rely on his conventional fleet to assist the flagship fleet's offensive after defeating the enemy's conventional fleet.
In such a large battlefield of the Super Flag Battle, although the conventional fleet could only become a consumable like cannon fodder, there was no doubt that its role could not be replaced by the flagship.
But soon Adrian Black Flag's expectations were dashed.
During the Super Flag Battle, the conventional fleets of both sides had already had several rounds of contact.
The regular fleet of the Black Flag Legion is indeed the elite of the Demon Princess, and its combat quality is extremely high!
Among the regular fleets encountered in New Eden so far, its strength can be ranked first.
Various fleet tactics are at your fingertips, and a small cone formation can be played out in a variety of ways. Moreover, the personal combat quality of these pilots is also very high, making the First Legion's fanatic-class fleet unable to withstand its offensive when they first came into contact.
At the beginning, the Zealot-class fleet of the First Legion misjudged the strength of the opponent and was suppressed. After losing dozens of warships, it decisively disengaged.
After regrouping the fleet, it started the second and third contacts.
And these two times, relying on the excellent properties of the Zealot-class heavy assault cruiser, the entire battle situation was revitalized, and they also verified the knowledge they learned in the training cabin one by one.
In the battle, the soldiers and commanders of the First Legion are growing rapidly.
Because the Emma Empire is not like other forces in New Eden, it is controlled by officials in person, and one person is a fleet.
The fleet of the Emma Empire is composed of countless people. Even if combat experience is mastered through countless training in the training cabin, it is fake and training is training, which is irrefutable.
Therefore, the fleet of the Emma Empire still needs to be tested in actual combat, and it must be baptized with wet and hot blood and dripping battles.
And it is obvious that the Black Flag Legion, as the first battle of the Emma Empire, has a complete super flagship fleet, which is a rare and suitable opponent.
So at the beginning, the Emma Empire did not directly send all six super flagship fleets to crush the Black Flag Legion with absolute strength.
"The pressure is not enough..."
Jamil Salaam, who was always paying attention to the battle situation in the Emma First Star (Star City) in the Betales Star Region, looked at the battle and frowned slightly.
As one of the four empires of New Eden, and even the most powerful empire, the Emma Empire has its own pride.
Although all the grievances of New Eden have disappeared after coming to this world, this does not mean that the pirates of the Sasha Group can ride on the head of the Emma Empire and compete with her for favor!
The Emma Empire must become the pillar of strength of New Eden in the shortest time!
