Chapter 377 Scouting Fleet 1

However, the facts were quite different from Walker's guess.

These transport ships, which seemed to have little combat power from a distance, suddenly burst out with powerful ultra-long-range firepower.

The nearly 1,000 Zerg warships left behind by Anderson ignored the harassment of the small frigates.

Instead, they aimed their bows at another fleet that wanted to bypass them and pursue the main fleet of the Zerg.

Under the coordination of Anderson's consciousness network, the Zerg warships that were left behind almost simultaneously blasted out thousands of azure blue thunder rays.

Compared with the divine cannon, the magic attack array has a faster energy storage speed and is more concealed.

Especially under the wrapping of the thick fungal blanket, the magic array pattern engraved on the bow of the warship and the flowing magic halo were covered up, and there was no sign when the attack was launched.

The detour fleet was caught off guard and did not expect that the other party would intercept them first.

A small frigate that gave up other performance and pursued high speed and maneuverability.

The streamlined ship, which was more than 200 meters long, was only equipped with a small shield generator.

Faced with the attack that came across the void, many frigates had their shields and armors torn apart easily.

Some ships were even penetrated by the engine energy furnace or ammunition depot, and the scene of the explosion was like fireworks blooming in the darkness, lighting up the dark void around them.

In just one salvo, Walker's scout fleet had lost nearly half of its scouts in an instant.

This was because the Zerg warships adopted a multi-to-one concentrated fire attack method to avoid missing the target.

"Disperse! Avoid the bombardment!"

Walker, who had no time to regret, saw that his fleet suffered heavy losses in an instant, and immediately issued a disperse order in the communication channel.

In fact, before he issued the order, the remaining more than 400 frigates had already dispersed quickly like a frightened school of fish.

In the following rounds of salvos, when the small frigates were highly maneuverable to dodge, the hit rate of ultra-long-range artillery dropped sharply.

Even if the attack was guided by the mind lock of the monocular operator, it was not easy to hit these flexible ships that were doing evasive maneuvers.

Anderson, who discovered this, immediately adjusted the fleet.

He directly asked the operators in the warships to give up the precise lock and change the attack mode to area coverage.

In the consciousness network, the order was instantly transmitted to all the rear warships without any delay.

Then the attack mode of the entire fleet changed in an instant. The thunder ray that had been chasing the frigate no longer attacked a single ship.

Instead, it began to cover a large area with irregular long-range firepower. This attack mode immediately increased the threat to high-speed frigates.

Seeing the increasing losses of his fleet, Walker was anxious.

However, the small frigate’s gun range was insufficient and it was impossible to effectively counterattack within the current distance.

Now that it has entered the opponent’s range, it wants to turn around and get away.

They will inevitably be chased by the enemy fleet all the way, and suffer greater casualties in vain.

So Walker made another wrong decision under the extremely deceptive appearance of the Zerg warship.

"Dash forward at high speed, insert into the enemy ship array, and engage in close combat."

Based on the observations during this period, Walker determined that the enemy warships were only equipped with bow main guns, but no small-caliber naval guns and close-range defense weapons were found on the hull.

He even suspected that these transport ships did not even carry void fighters or combat mechas.

As long as his highly maneuverable ships can break into the interior of the enemy fleet, they can engage in close-range melee combat.

Whether it is the clumsy size of these ships or the possible accidental injuries, they will limit the opponent's bow main gun attack.

However, his small frigates can rely on their high maneuverability to unilaterally output these large transport ships that look like winter melons.

According to normal logic, Walker's response should be considered a very correct choice.

The tactics adopted are also the usual attack methods used by the frigate group when encountering large enemy ships.

Unfortunately, the ships he was facing at this time, which were dressed as transport ships but were actually aircraft carriers, were completely against normal logic and inertial thinking.

After Walker gave the order, the more than 400 frigates that had been scattered began to accelerate while evading the thunder rays.

Before long, they had passed the area with the most concentrated firepower and forcibly inserted into the formation of the Zerg fleet.

More and more Zerg warships stopped firing their main guns.

Seeing that the situation was as he expected, Walker couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The frigates that broke into the enemy formation all showed their power after there was no threat!

The gun barrels engraved with divine patterns kept spraying out hot high-speed projectiles.

This type of kinetic weapon driven by divine power not only has a very high rate of fire, but also has extremely strong penetration and lethality of solid shells.

In just a few seconds, nearly a hundred high-speed projectiles were fired, enough to tear open the alloy armor several meters thick.

The fungal blanket tightly wrapped around the Zerg warship was instantly blasted open with hideous gaps under the baptism of rapid-fire cannons.

A large amount of reddish-brown viscous juice splashed out with bloody and flesh-like debris.

However, the extremely strong fungal blanket also greatly slowed down the impact speed of the projectiles.

As a result, the rain of bullets did not achieve the expected results.

Although the gaps in the fungal blanket were huge from the outside,

after the projectiles penetrated the fungal blanket, the destructive power to the ship's armor was greatly reduced.

The frigates that had already rushed into the enemy formation and shuttled at high speed could not accurately finish off the bullet points.

A wave of concentrated fire could not cause effective damage to the armor of the Zerg warship.

Even if the ship's guns kept firing, they could only scrape off a larger area of ​​fungal blankets from the surface of the warship.

Instead, after the fungal blankets were blasted, they used the thriving roots that penetrated the hull to madly squeeze the flesh and blood of the fungus-encased earthworms in the ship.

A large amount of nutrients and energy were transmitted to the damaged area through the roots.

As soon as the hole was broken, a large amount of hyphae grew rapidly!

It was like a spider weaving a web, and like a wriggling maggot, it quickly intertwined and adhered, and then completely covered the damaged area.

As time went on, those hideous gaps quickly closed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Walker stood on the bridge and looked at this weird scene through the projection screen, his eyes full of astonishment.

But before he could react, the battle situation changed again.

I saw that the thick fungal blanket suddenly had many cracks, and ferocious huge heads poked out from inside.

"Boom......."

The Thunder Dragons poked their heads out from the hull and sprayed out lightning attacks one after another.

The azure lightning seemed to burst out from various parts of the Zerg warship.

In an instant, a dense lightning net was interwoven, illuminating the extremely dark void.
