Chapter 343
Kingdom of the Red Keep· A8 Zerg defense line
12 hours have passed, and the fleet starships stationed on the defense line have basically reached their limit.
Even some of the starships' fuel bunkers and ammunition depots were empty, so they had to arrange for some interstellar supply ships to venture up and resupply them while these starships were fighting.
But the risk is considerable, and so far, 16 starships have been destroyed while resupplying the line.
"Report, for the eighth time that the Third Fleet and the Seventh Fleet have requested to be pulled down for a short period of replenishment and repair!"
"Report, the Fifth Fleet requested a replenishment of ammunition, and less than 5% of the Starship ammunition stocks in their fleet remained. "
The subordinates kept reporting the news to Prince Pendecy.
Prince Pendesey's gaze almost never took his eyes off the line of defense during this time.
He clenched his fists and did not reply to his subordinates' reports.
Because he himself did not know how to reply.
At this moment, every fleet on the defensive line has reached its limit, and it needs a short period of rest and replenishment, and some starships also need to be repaired.
However, the alien zerg did not give them such a chance, and the attack was very ferocious.
If even one fleet or one or two hundred starships were withdrawn at this time, it would be possible to make their defenses insufficient, creating an opportunity for the alien zerg.
And now in this situation, this line of defense is crumbling, as long as there is a gap, then there is basically no hope of holding this line of defense.
If you force your defense, the casualty rate per hour will increase tenfold compared to before.
"Damn! Damn! Damn!" Prince Pendesy shook his fist angrily.
"Report that the 100 starships sent by Her Majesty to support us have sailed into our area and are now behind the defensive line, requesting our instructions. The adjutant suddenly reported a piece of news.
This news shocked Prince Pandesi's body.
Although these 100 starships are all T2 starships and old starships, this is also the only lifeline that Prince Pendesy can grasp.
"Give them an order at once to support the Third Fleet's defense zone. Either way, let them hold on for at least a day.
Then let the Third Fleet withdraw, Starport prepare the replenishment and repair related work of the fleet, and complete the logistics of the Third Fleet in the shortest possible time.
Then let the staff officers, draw up a detailed plan for the rotation of the defensive line fleet! As much as possible, let those fleets that have reached the limit of the situation have the opportunity to rotate down to rest and replenish!" Prince Pendesy ordered.
"Yes!"
Prince Pendesy wants to use these 100 starships to gain opportunities for the rotation of the starships of the defensive line.
Although it is not clear how effective these more than 100 old T2 starships are, this is also their only plan now.
It can also be said that a dead horse is used as a live horse doctor.
He was ready for all 100 starships to fall in the next three days.
After receiving the order, the small fleet of 100 T2 Blue Kite starships began to slowly sail into the predetermined defense line in a tactical formation, taking over the defense line area that the Third Fleet was responsible for.
As a bystander, a discerning person can see that the formation and tactics adopted by this small fleet are completely different from those of other fleets.
The 40 T2 Giant Shield-class heavy interstellar frigates are in a semi-arc shape and are at the front.
This is followed by 30 T2 Griffin-class heavy Star Destroyers, 5 T2 Tempest-class light Star Battlecruisers, 10 T2 Seawolf-class medium Star Cruisers, and 10 T2 Tiger-class medium Star Battleships.
At the end of the formation are 5 T2 Deathstorm-class heavy starmissile ships and 10 T2 Lark-class heavy carrier starships.
The commander of the small fleet was a little nervous, and he had only been in charge of these starships for less than a week.
Fortunately, the control of the starship is not very difficult, and at the same time, there is a series of combat information of these starships that come with these starships, and even when the Blue Kite Legion is handing over the starship.
Several senior non-commissioned officers were also specially sent to teach their captains and commanders for three hours.
It is also because of these that they can master the combat methods suitable for these starships in a week.
"Pass my orders, and follow the tactical method of simulated drills when we came. "The commander of the small fleet calmed himself down and gave the order to fight.
The 40 T2 Giant Shield-class heavy interstellar frigates were the first to open their energy shield stance to counter the ferocious attack of the alien zerg.
At the moment when the light of these energy shield positions bloomed, Prince Pandesi's eyes, who were paying attention to the movements on their side, flashed with brilliance.
But he didn't care too much, he also saw some information about this T2 Giant Shield-class heavy interstellar frigate just now, this is a T2 starship with an energy shield.
However, according to his old-fashioned thinking, even if there is an energy shield, what can the energy shield of a mere T2 starship do.
And there are only 40 T2 Giant Shield-class heavy interstellar frigates, you must know that they have to face the alien zerg on this line of defense, but there are at least two or three thousand worm hive starships, and there is a steady stream of reinforcements behind them!
Among them are also one or two T3 hive starships.
It is estimated that it can only resist for a short time.
After the Energy Shield, the other T2 starships began to attack their targets.
I have to say that the firepower of these starships such as the T2 Storm-class light interstellar battlecruiser, the T2 Giant Tiger-class medium interstellar battleship, the T2 Seawolf-class medium-sized interstellar cruiser, and the T2 Griffon-class heavy interstellar destroyer is quite good.
Those alien insects that roared like a tide of insects slowed down a lot under the attack of these starships.
But this is only a temporary slowdown, and the pressure on the defensive line is still increasing.
You must know that most of the attacks of these starships have an attack interval, and when this attack interval is generated, it is an opportunity for the alien zerg!
More and more hive starships began to approach the energy shield, and before that, a = large number of T1 Flying Insects and T2 Insect Flies took the lead in attacking the energy shield.
However, the small fleet did not sit idly by, except for letting the T2 Giant Shield-class heavy interstellar frigate carry out air defense interception.
The T2 starfighters of the T2 lark-class heavy aircraft carrier starship were also dispatched at this time, specifically responsible for annihilating these alien Zerg flying units and reducing the pressure on the defense line.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a bio-plasma cannon slammed into the energy shield.
Directly blasted a big hole on the energy shield, fortunately, the big hole is slowly recovering, except for a small number of alien Zerg flying units took the opportunity to fly in, and were annihilated by the T2 lark starfighter, there is no big problem.
This is an attack by the T3 Hive starship hidden in the Hive Fleet!
This is a huge threat to the small fleet.
If in the future, once those hive fleets approach the energy shield, and cooperate with the T3 hive starships to blast open the energy shield, although it may only be a short tens of seconds, those hive starships are very likely to swarm in and pose a great threat to the defense line!
Seeing this scene, Prince Pandesi's expression was gloomy, and he had to say that the performance and combat effectiveness of those T2 starships were still quite good.
But the absence of T3 starships, is their only drawback!
It is also extremely deadly.
"Prepare, we'll be on the battlefield over there in 15 minutes. "Prince Pendesy ordered his ships to support the battlefield over there.
To put it mildly, now Prince Pendesi's seat ship is the only T3 starship that can pull away.
It's all about being a firefighter, going wherever you need it.
The non-commissioned officers on this T3 starship are not much easier than those starships of the fleet on the defensive line, and even more laborious.
At this moment, the small fleet of 100 Blue Kite starships had been fighting with the alien Zerg on the battlefield for half an hour.
Your starships are intact and have destroyed nearly 300 Hive starships!
It's just that the only bad situation is that the hive fleet has already reached the defense line, and it won't take five minutes to directly crash into the energy shield of the T2 giant shield-class heavy star frigate!
But at this moment, the missile silos on the hull decks of the five T2 Deathstorm-class heavy interstellar missile ships behind the small fleet formation were opened, and the magnetic storm missiles were ready to launch.
Whew!
Five T2 Deathstorm-class heavy interstellar missile ships, each firing 100 Magnetic Storm missiles at the same time.
A total of 500 magnetic storm missiles roared down like a small meteor shower towards one location of the insect tide.
In the location locked by these magnetic storm missiles, it is a huge T3 worm hive starship!
The T3 hive starship also seemed to sense the danger, and let out a strange roar, and then the surrounding hive starships began to gather one after another, and at the same time launched an attack on the incoming magnetic storm missiles, trying to intercept them.
The T3 hive starship stretched out its energy shield, and several bioplasma cannons on its body continued to fire, destroying one magnetic storm missile after another in the air!
Although these hive starships were intercepting, they only intercepted a third of the magnetic storm missiles in the end.
The remaining magnetstorm missiles explode at the predetermined location!
Patches of thunderclouds covered the area where the T3 hive starship was located.
Prince Pendesy stood up at this moment, his expression a little solemn.
He had heard that the Blue Kite Legion had developed a very good tactic for the interstellar missile ship, but because he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he was still skeptical.
"Turn on the starship radar and probe that area, if there is still the energy reaction of the T3 hive starship!" Prince Pendesea ordered.
"Yes!"
Starship radar is turned on, and the area is carefully scanned.
Before the thunderclouds and dust dissipated, they got feedback on their side.
"Report, the signal from the previous T3 hive starship has disappeared from the star map!" the soldier said excitedly.
Prince Pendesy waved his fists excitedly, and at the same time looked at the fleet of 100 starships in disbelief: "They actually joined the battle and eliminated a T3 worm hive starship in less than half an hour!"
At this moment, Prince Pendesy began to make great changes to these 100 old T2 starships.
And the next change in the battle situation made Prince Pendesy even more excited.
In the fifth hour of the battle, the small fleet eliminated another T3 hive starship.
In the nineteenth hour, the third hive starship was eliminated.
This directly set a record for the A8 Zerg defense line to destroy the T3 hive starship in a single day!
At the end of the day, a small fleet of only 100 starships wiped out nearly 2,000 hive starships!
That's 20 times the number of your own starships!
The small fleet itself only lost three T2 Giant Shield-class heavy interstellar frigates and five T2 Griffon-class heavy interstellar destroyers, and the other starships were slightly damaged.
The result!
Absolutely unprecedented in front of any fleet on this line of defense!
And because of the outstanding contribution of the small fleet as a line of defense, it also indirectly weakened the danger faced by other fleets.
"Report to His Royal Highness, the communication has been connected!" the communications sergeant reported to Prince Pendesi.
Prince Pendesy looked at the communication window, and on the other end was the commander of the small fleet.
"What's your name. Prince Pendesy looked at the younger-looking officer in front of him.
"Report, I'm Thomson, Commander of the B13 Temporary Small Fleet of the 9th Regiment of the Red Fort. Thomson said nervously.
Prince Pendesy nodded appreciatively: "You and your fleet have performed very beautifully this day, I want you to continue to fight on this defense line, as long as you continue to fight bravely against the alien Zerg like today, I will give you credit!"
When Commander Thomson heard this, he was embarrassed and said, "Report to His Royal Highness, a battle like today's. Our fleet may only last for a maximum of two days. "
"Why?" said Prince Pendesey, a little surprised.
Commander Thomson explained: "The strategic materiel carried by our fleet, according to the situation consumed today. Only two more days of fighting.
The most important thing is the reserve of magnetstorm missiles, we only carry 10,000 magnetstorm missiles, which is equivalent to the amount that can reload 5 T2 Deathstorm-class heavy interstellar missile ships 4 times.
And after today's day of battle, we are left with less than 6,000 magnetic storm missiles......
If it weren't for the fire support provided by these magnetic storm missiles on the battlefield and the decapitating strike against the T3 Worm Hive starship, we would not have been able to achieve the results we have today.
In addition, the energy shield of the T2 Giant Shield-class heavy interstellar frigate is also consumed very quickly, even if the echelon tactics have been adopted now, two days is already the limit. "
Hearing Commander Thomson's words, Prince Pendsey reacted.
These starships are all purchased from the Blue Kite Legion, and the other starships are okay to say, and they can be resupplied by finding a way.
But the magnetic storm missiles of the T2 Deathstorm-class heavy interstellar missile ship, that is, one shot less than one.
"I see, I'll figure it out. "
Prince Pendesy cut off communications.
He immediately followed up with his sister, the Queen of the Red Keep, who appeared in front of Prince Pendesey.
Prince Pendesy said directly: "Sister, the starships of the Green Kite Legion, send me another two or three hundred! The most important thing is the magnetic storm missile, give me another 50,000! No! 100,000!"
