Chapter 376 Scouting Fleet

In the void over the squadron, the two fleets have been caught in a melee.

The scale of the battle was small, with only a few hundred warships on both sides, but the battle was extremely fierce.

The magic array engraved on the bow of the Zerg cruiser, which was more than a kilometer long, kept lighting up.

A series of azure thunder rays streaked across the void and bombarded the enemy frigate moving at high speed.

This large attack array is the only ship-borne weapon equipped on the Zerg warship.

In essence, this thing can only be regarded as a magic compression array.

It was originally a conventional array set up in the Mage Tower by Liu Dan's core followers.

Han Fei thought that this thing was low-cost and powerful, so he simply spent a lot of blood and equipped the bow of each Zerg warship with this attack magic array.

In fact, under normal circumstances, even transport ships will be equipped with certain ship-borne weapons.

Especially armed transport ships, not only are they equipped with air defense arrays, but ships often also install some secondary guns as defensive weapons.

Otherwise, when they encounter enemy warships, they will really be beaten without any self-protection ability.

When Han Fei asked Dandan to build ships, he also took this into consideration and increased the shipbuilding budget to equip the existing ships with a large attack array.

Before the design of the new Zerg unit was completed, the Thunder Dragon, the main combat unit of the Zerg, had an effective range of only more than 30 kilometers.

When fighting in the inner circle of the resource well, warships often bombarded each other from a distance.

Is it possible that when encountering an enemy fleet, all the Thunder Dragons on board should be released in advance for a face-to-face tactic before closing the distance? What if they are kited?

Of course, another major reason is that it is not expensive to equip this kind of magic array.

The biggest cost is the giant crystal core as the eye of the array and the magic conduction material melted into the array pattern.

In general, this thing is much cheaper than the cost of the Divine Power Cannon.

Not to mention that every time the divine cannon roars, a lot of divine power is consumed as ammunition.

Unlike this magic array, the Thunder Dragon can directly supply magic power to charge the crystal core of the array center, and the ammunition cost is almost zero.

This made Han Fei bear the pain and make up his mind to pay the cost of building it.

But that's all. The entire ship's weapon system, except for this magic main gun, has no other anti-aircraft arrays or secondary guns.

Han Fei's shipbuilding concept pursues cost-effectiveness and saves as much as possible.

As long as they don't suffer too much loss in the ultra-long-range bombardment with the enemy fleet, when the distance is shortened, the Void Zerg will have room to display.

Although the Zerg warships look out of place, their actual combat effectiveness is still very good.

The main reason is that these transport ships are very confusing, and they have a taste of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.

At this time, the enemy fleet fighting against them misjudged the performance of the Zerg warships.

This scout team, composed of hundreds of small frigates, was also horrified when it first encountered the Zerg squadron.

Nearly 10,000 large warships, which were comparable to the size of their main fleet.

Walker, the commander of the scout fleet, immediately reported to his superiors and prepared for a quick evacuation.

But after careful observation, he found that these peculiarly shaped cruisers had no small or medium-sized ships patrolling and escorting around.

There were no void fighters or combat mechas to drive them away.

Walker had never encountered such a situation in his years as a fleet commander.

Looking at the hulls of these cruisers, which were like winter melons, the surface was covered with a thick layer of purple fungal blankets.

If he hadn't seen the golden flames spraying from the stern, he could be sure that they were equipped with a super-powerful divine engine, and he would have guessed that the other party was a plant warship of the tree people.

Faced with this unexpected situation, Walker tried to let his warships approach cautiously for reconnaissance.

Unexpectedly, the other party immediately showed its cowardice.

In addition to sending nearly a thousand warships to intercept, most of the warships suddenly accelerated to escape.

Even the fragment of the ownerless domain that was originally towed by the tractor beam was decisively abandoned by the other side.

This made the experienced Walker's eyes brighten, and he felt that he had caught a big fish.

"From the other side's reaction, these are not all transport ships?"

A transport fleet of such a scale, and it is still in a hurry to escape from the battle, who knows how many valuable goods are carried in it.

After Walker had this guess, he hurriedly reported the enemy's situation and his own speculation to his superiors in more detail.

Not long after, he received an order from the fleet commander himself.

He was asked to bite the enemy troops as much as possible to buy more time for the main fleet that was rushing at full speed.

Walker, who was excited in his heart, knew that it was time for him to make a contribution.

Without any hesitation, he directly divided the hundreds of frigates under his command into two formations.

One group continued to fight with the enemy's rearguard, while the other group accelerated at full speed to lock onto the enemy's main fleet.

In his opinion, these clumsy large transport ships would not be able to shake off the pursuit of the high-speed frigates in a short period of time.
