Chapter 472 06.0471: ‘Deadly Blow’

In the void, the sudden attack caused chaos in the Tau ships that were besieging the E-110 attack ship.

They evaded urgently, but still lost a destroyer under the exquisite operation and "deception" of the Tech-Priest.

While evading urgently, the other two ships used the ion close-in defense guns on the hull to fire at the torpedoes.

A Helios torpedo was blown up in mid-air, and the broken body left a few unnecessary scratches on the hull of the warship.

Another torpedo tried to turn to another target after firing in the air, but the opponent happened to be ship-to-ship, and fired a heavy Seeker missile while maneuvering.

The missile and the torpedo collided with each other, setting off a gorgeous fire of gold and blue, like the brilliance of the galaxy, colorful and dazzling.

The fire was reflected in Horatio's eyes, and he watched the enemy's counterattack calmly.

"Second one, ready."

"Preheating of the No. 4 torpedo engine is complete!"

"Open the slide cover of the No. 4 torpedo silo!"

"Wait for my order. E-99 and E-46 will launch the attack first."

The surviving Castle Lord-class frigate and Warden-class destroyer immediately began to counterattack the attackers. They turned on the active detection wave and almost instantly discovered the E-96 'Epic' and the E-46 attack ship hiding in the thin gas cloud.

Because E-99 arrived first, it had a longer time to coordinate its position, so it was in a better position hidden in the gas cloud. With the help of the shadow field, it was not discovered by the detection wave this time.

But at this point, it doesn't matter whether it is discovered or not.

With the continuous effect of the shadow field, even if the relative positions of the Epic and E-46 are discovered, it will take some time to accurately aim.

The Epic started the engine and moved slowly at a speed of five void knots. At this speed, although the warship maneuvers slowly, the heat radiation from the heat vents will not be too large for the shadow field.

Two Tau Empire warships fired a salvo at the Epic's approximate direction from one side, and the other fired a salvo at the E-46.

In the first round of shooting, only one railgun shell passed by the hull and rubbed the Epic's armor plate. Although it ricocheted, it still scared the nearby crew members, who were terrified by the teeth-grinding sound of metal twisting.

Horatio used the void sand table and the neural plug to convey the steering command to the helmsman and made precise micro-maneuvers.

This is the sensitivity unique to small-volume warships, and the flexible maneuvering allows the tiny scales on the cabin to be used.

This is something that the Indefatigable, a battlecruiser, cannot do. For such a large ship of nearly 30 million tons, there are almost only two options: full left and full right.

However, with the size and combat effectiveness of the Indefatigable battlecruiser, such delicate operations are not needed.

Just do it!

There are not many warships in the galaxy with firepower stronger than hers. Battlecruisers are not used in the human empire unless it is a major battle, not to mention the aliens and Chaos rebels.

As a battlecruiser, it is no exaggeration to say that she alone, combined with the escort fleet, can deal with more than 90% of the military conflicts in the galaxy.

However, flexible micro-manipulation is very necessary for warships such as attack ships that rely on stealth and maneuverability to survive.

Facing the oncoming attack, the Epic still did not fire.

And E-46 fired torpedoes according to Horatio's mark.

This confusing operation made the captain of the Tau Empire wonder if he was interfered with by radar. There were obviously two identical targets, but only one warship fired.

Could one of them be an illusion to confuse the audience? How could the human empire have something that interferes with advanced radar?

A big doubt emerged in the long and flat head of the Qi captain.

However, this is exactly the trick designed by Horatio for the Tau.

The two enemy ships were attracted by the E-46 and turned their attention to it. The railguns on the ship turned and aimed at the "real target" E-46 attack ship.

Suddenly, E-99 and E-96 fired a torpedo each at the same time.

The torpedoes attacked the two enemy ships at right angles.

This operation was too much for the Tau captain.

Before the next round of railgun fire, they immediately ordered the ship to maneuver.

Two wire-guided torpedoes came flying, and when they were about to hit the Castle Lord-class escort ship, the Castle Lord made an evasive move, avoiding it with an almost unbalanced rotation.

Seeing that the target avoided his torpedo with a delicate maneuver, Horatio ordered Latti to immediately direct the torpedo to another target.

This Warden-class destroyer, which was attacked from the side and back at the same time, was trying to avoid the torpedoes fired by E-99 and had no time to care about the torpedoes of E-96.

"Go to hell, greedy alien. "

Horatio gritted his teeth.

The torpedoes fired by E-99 and E-96 hit the body of the Warden-class destroyer almost at the same time, stabbing into the body of the Warden-class destroyer from one side to the other.

Amid the painful explosion, the two torpedoes instantly tore the entire hull into powder, leaving only a dazzling pale spherical explosion point on the starry sky.

Seeing the compatriots on the two ships torn to pieces, the only remaining Castle Lord-class frigate fell into great grief and anger.

The captain roared, asking the driver to rush to the final position of the Epic E-96 at all costs.

The two heavy Seeker missile launch bays were all opened, ready to fight to the death.

"Captain, the enemy ship is rushing towards me! All missile bays are open. "

"My ship's No. 1 and No. 2 torpedoes are being maintained! The No. 3 torpedo compartment is being loaded, and only the No. 4 torpedo is available. "Preheat quickly! Quick!" Horatio shouted, with a trace of cold sweat running down his temples.

The Dong-type Seeker missile has two modes: passive and active radar guidance. It will first lock and launch through the radar of the alien ship, and then turn on the active radar after approaching the target, most accurately lock the final position of the target, adjust the course, and achieve a precise strike.

One shot of its equivalent can severely damage the Epic, and two shots are enough to tear the Epic to pieces on the spot.

"Preheat quickly! Quick!"

In the torpedo compartment, the boatswain's shouting and urging voices were endless, which made the technical priest in charge of maintenance dissatisfied, because this disrupted the rhythm of the prayer ceremony, and the torpedo preheating was slower than normal.

That's right, the violent machine soul of the torpedo has a "morning mood"!

"We must be quick! "Louise shouted to the sound array, her purple eyes fixed on the enemy ship's black hole missile launch, and her breathing stopped unconsciously.

"Forgive me, the servants of Om Messiah need careful comfort. We are doing our best to perform the necessary rituals and prayers to ensure the normal launch of the torpedoes."

"Don't worry about the damn prayers, force the launch!" Horatio waved his hand and shouted.

Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, took a deep breath, waved his hand and clicked on the void sand table: "Torpedo launch is temporarily suspended, normal preheating."

On the enemy ship.

"Go to hell, hostile, for the greater good!" The captain shouted, and the heavy seeker missiles were ready to go.

"Kan # Feng, the enemy torpedo is approaching, because we just passed through the gas cloud, we didn't detect it in the first time! ”

"What? ! "

The captain leaned on his cane and looked to the side. The Tau Empire crew members below were in a mess, watching the powerful short-burning torpedoes charging towards them at full speed, with fear in their eyes.

Just now, Horatio keenly discovered through the void sandbox that there was an additional attack ship in his command sequence.

And this was the E-48 attack ship that arrived late.

Under the highlighted prompt given by Horatio, although there was a gas cloud blocking the front, the E-48 still used Horatio's unique "A shoot B guide" method to allow the E-48 attack ship to successfully fire a torpedo and throw a deadly "harpoon" at the last fish that wanted to fight to the death.
