Chapter 1004 Catapult Deck

The royalists can pull out a fleet to fight with the most elite regular army, but it does not mean that this fleet can be on standby at any time.

After rescuing the princess, the royalist fleet had already been dispersed, and it had to be reassembled when needed.

And because it is impossible to achieve ultra-long-distance communication, there is no way to immediately pull in reinforcements when the base is attacked.

The few remaining warships in the base immediately set sail urgently, trying to destroy the squadron as soon as possible under the fire cover of the base itself.

Because it has entered a state of war, all unnecessary lights have been turned off, and Alyssa found a seat to sit on with the help of emergency lights.

The hydraulic press pushed the seat and the gun position into the firing position, and almost at the same time, the gunner immediately sent a gunfire guidance message.

That's right, Alyssa came to work part-time as a gunner again.

After all, they are now grasshoppers on a rope. If the royalist base is surrounded and attacked by the fleet, Alyssa can't escape, and it is likely that they will be killed together.

Alyssa originally wanted to attack with the Swan, and she could run away if the situation was really wrong, but the attack came when the Swan was beginning to be modified, and now there was no way to leave the port.

So Alyssa came to play a guest gunner, and the royalists were not enough.

The royalist planetary fortress looked magnificent, but it was not actually completed. Now only the main body was built, but a large number of gun positions, personnel, and many equipment were not installed, and at most 30% of the designed combat power was exerted.

Alyssa assisted the gun position control lever, looking out through the glass that had just become transparent. The huge shield shook left and right under the bombardment of the main gun, which would give people a strong optical illusion. There was no vibration, but it felt like it was shaking.

This is also one of the reasons why Alyssa didn't want to get involved. It's not known whether the royalists can respect the king and fight against traitors, but they are definitely being chased and cut.

After taking a look at the situation outside, Alyssa quickly calibrated the shooting parameters. At this time, the attack order sent by the gunner appeared on the screen below the joystick.

In the dark background of the universe, a dense number of small engine lights appeared near the huge engine light of the battleship. It was obvious that a space fighter was released.

The gun position next door opened fire first. Alyssa knew that it was a test firing and aiming, because the gun position next to her was Long, who knew her habits too well.

But then again, the situation was very bleak.

The royalist base was mobile, with a super-large main engine that could propel the planetary fortress to sail, and even consume astronomical amounts of energy for jumps.

But the problem was that as long as the squadron was still entangled, neither running away nor jumping could be achieved. The planetary fortress that could not exert its full combat power would find it difficult to destroy the squadron in a short time, and the squadron only needed to entangle it and wait for the main force to arrive, and it really didn't take much time.

Now it was a race against time to see who could achieve the goal first, otherwise there was no possibility of escape.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The few remaining warships in the planetary fortress have left the port and immediately set up a circular attack position near the planetary fortress, relying on the defense of the planetary fortress to engage in artillery battles with the squadron.

But the fortress did not become deserted because of the warships leaving the port, but became more lively.

The huge airlock door with a length and width of about 50 meters was lifted up, and the green film airlock was also effective at the same time. A large number of mechanics, ground crew and communicators were busy in the hangar.

Hall sat in the driver's seat of the space fighter, his fingers quickly clicked the buttons and panels at hand, and was doing the final check before takeoff.

Hall chose to join Alyssa's command and did not belong to the royalist faction, but she was a pilot after all. Now all those who could go to the battlefield needed to move, and she also had no choice but to board a space fighter.

A ground crew knocked on Hall's window, pointed down, and gestured, indicating that your space fighter has been checked and can go to the waiting position.

The tractor used in the microgravity environment dragged Hall and the space fighter out of the hangar, and the ground crew quickly hooked the ejection hook to the bottom of the space fighter, ready to go at any time.

A large number of space fighters were arranged in four rows, and electromagnetic ejection was carried out in turn according to the instructions of the air traffic control.

Since the hangar is a confined space, the engine cannot be started here, otherwise the large amount of heat will burn the ground crew to death, so it is necessary to use electromagnetic ejection to shoot the space fighter out first, and then start the engine in the inertial kinetic energy.

Hall came out relatively late, basically in the last row.

On her left was a magic mecha. She remembered that it was the Silver Cyclone on the Swan, and the driver was Vilania from the Storm Kingdom.

To be honest, Hall did not think Vilania could be a driver. She had not received professional driving training, her physical fitness was not up to standard, and she had no military skills. Such a person should still be on a training plane in the regular army, instead of driving an expensive magic mecha to participate in the war.

However, she had just joined Alyssa's army, so it was not easy to point fingers. I could only say that I hope she can come back alive.

On Hall's right was a spacecraft that was clearly different from other space fighters.

It looked like an inverted Y, with no personal paint on the matte black paint, like a new product that had just left the factory.

She finished the flight inspection, knocked on the side of the helmet, and connected to the nearest communication channel.

"The ammunition has been replenished, but is it really okay to remove the speed limiter like this?"

"It doesn't matter, that thing is completely a seal."

"You even said it was a fierce horse. Wouldn't it be harder to control without a speed limiter?"

"Believe in my level. I'll get used to it if I try more."

The conversation between Fang Lanyin and Li Chengxi came from the communication.

If it was a pilot under Hall who said this, she would definitely scold him. Driving an unfamiliar space fighter to the battlefield is not such a fresh and refined way to die.

But Li Chengxi, the pilot, is too awesome.

The most important purpose of Hall's willingness to join Alyssa's command is to learn Li Chengxi's driving skills. The closer you are to the water, the better.

But it must be said that Li Chengxi is too mysterious.

These days, Hall has never seen Li Chengxi. Every time he asks Alyssa and others, they are still mysterious and silent, as if this person does not exist at all.

Of course, after all, they are still in the base of the royalists, and the existence of Li Chengxi cannot be casually mentioned.

This also led to Hall's attempt to communicate with Li Chengxi never being realized.

The cockpit glass of the space fighter activated the light filtering mode. From the outside, the cockpit was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

This mode is usually activated automatically to prevent strong light. It can be activated at ordinary times, but it will make the vision worse. Generally, no pilot will do this.

However, how the pilot drives is the pilot's own business, and I am happy.

So Hall couldn't see what the person inside looked like through the cockpit.

Then, Hall saw Fang Lanyin pop up from the other side of the space fighter and float backwards quickly.

"Since you are sure, then okay. It's a pity that time is too tight, otherwise we can make some modifications."

"I will study the modification when I come back. We are about to set off."

Listening to the communication, Hall turned his head and saw that the light above the airlock door turned from red to green, and then, starting from the front row of space fighters, they ejected into the void one by one...
