Chapter 1667 Battle of Broken Horn (11)

"The shield has been destroyed and is being reloaded."

"The port side was damaged and damage control is handling it."

"The torpedo hit was confirmed and the damage was minor."

A series of reports mixed with the constant vibrations of the ship's hull made Alyssa smack her lips.

Damn, these guys really don’t want to be fooled.

The Red Maple Republic fleet has always maintained a defensive formation and has maintained its assault on the cruising fleet. It is enough to cope with this level.

The defense against the reactor jammer has not relaxed at all, and is still as thick as an iron barrel.

In this case, even if the main fleet concentrated its fire desperately, it would still be difficult to damage the reactor jammer at all.

Keep pushing forward?

Alyssa knew that this was a suicide mission, but she did not object because it was the option with the highest success rate.

But now, even if the suicide attack is carried out, the Red Maple Republic fleet has still not been exposed. If it continues to approach, it is not a suicide mission, but a suicide in a literal sense.

Being afraid of death and dying in vain are two different things. Continuing to close the distance has no meaning except that your losses will continue to increase significantly.

What's more, the Swan's ammunition is almost empty.

It was not fully supplied to begin with. After continuous fierce battles, ammunition consumption increased sharply. The Swan's rail-mounted secondary battery ammunition has reached the danger line. The main gun of the light spear also consumed a lot of energy due to continuous firing. It was just sent from the engine room. A warning is issued and the energy enters the red line.

In other words, both energy and ammunition are about to be exhausted.

Even the specially modified Swan couldn't withstand it, and ordinary cruisers were even worse. They were either destroyed or misfired.

The carrier-based aircraft did not return as planned, but rushed directly into the fleet. This move was unexpected and had a certain effect, but it was still far from enough.

The fleet that rushed in now probably only has one-third of its number left, and the entire army is about to be annihilated.

Unable to delay any longer, Alyssa reached out and tried to contact other formation commanders. After recovering the carrier-based aircraft, we must evacuate.

At this time, Anyun suddenly reported:

"Ultra-high energy reaction detected!"

Alyssa hurriedly looked at the star map, and a mass marked in red appeared inside the main fleet of the Red Maple Republic.

At the same time, intense bright light also appeared on the bridge, completely blocking the view through the glass of the bridge.

The light of destruction just flashed for a moment, and then the brightness dropped. Alyssa had seen this pattern before.

"Did Li Chengqi use a nuclear bomb?"

"Unknown, we can't contact him."

Even if I couldn’t get in touch to confirm, the sound and light effects would be unmistakable.

But unlike every time Li Chengqi acted without permission, this time Alyssa said loudly:

"here you go!"

The terrifying lethality of nuclear bombs made Alyssa very worried, fearing that such weapons would spread.

But at this critical moment, the nuclear bomb exploded inside the Red Maple Republic fleet, which would create a large-scale gap and give the main fleet a good opportunity to attack and respond to the jammer.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the Swan began to vibrate violently. The vaporized material spread in all directions centered on the explosion point, and the wreckage of the battleship that was originally suspended quietly in front was also pushed forward.

However, because the Swan is located far away from the center of the explosion, and the power of a nuclear explosion in the void is far less than that of a gravity environment, just a violent shock will not threaten the survival of the battleship.

Almost at the same time as the vibration appeared, a beeping sound also sounded on the communication platform. Villania said:

"The fleet command issued an order, ordering us to immediately recover the carrier-based aircraft and retreat."

This retreat order was definitely not because Li Chengqi used a nuclear bomb. Considering the delay in long-distance communication in the void, the message was probably sent out before the nuclear bomb was launched.

The fleet command also knew that Alyssa and the others' assault did not have the desired effect, so they ordered a retreat.

Every chess piece on the battlefield can be consumed, but it must be consumed in a valuable way. If you continue to charge, you will die in vain.

But when the retreat order came, Alyssa realized that the situation might not be as simple as just wanting to send the cruiser formation away.

All cruiser formations received the order, the fleet began to turn, and signaled retreat.

After Alyssa finished what she should do, she immediately turned on the optical sighting equipment and looked at the center of the explosion.

The dense formation of the Red Maple Republic fleet seemed to have been dug out, revealing a huge hole. Even if the surrounding warships were not destroyed, they were all injured, and they were in a mess, making it impossible to maintain the formation.

But when Alyssa zoomed out, she realized that the effect of this nuclear explosion was not fatal.

It's too peripheral. If it can be detonated in the center of the fleet, the effect will be much better than now.

But Alyssa also knew that even Li Chengqi would not be able to rush into such a large fleet too deep, unless he directly descended as a saint, otherwise it would be impossible.

And maybe it was really about Cao Cao. Cao Cao arrived, and Li Chengqi's voice sounded on the bridge:

"Do you want a late-night snack? I grilled some meat skewers in the microwave."

"..."

There was still no tension as before.

"Shouldn't you be flying the machine back now? How can you have time for a midnight snack?"

"There is no need to return, the damage to the body is too serious."

That should also be destroyed to prevent technology leakage.

Just as Alyssa was about to say this, suddenly an extremely dazzling flash of light lit up on the bridge again.

Two shots?

No, didn’t Li Chengqi only have one nuclear bomb?

"Speaking of which, I don't think I told you."

Against the backdrop of the flash of nuclear bombs, Li Chengqi said:

"My body is a nuclear machine, itself a nuclear bomb."

The second flash of light went deeper into the fleet than the first. According to the range of the high-energy explosion reaction at Anyun's mark, it was almost right next to the reactor jammer.

But Alyssa looked at it and couldn’t help but shake her head, almost.

If we could go a little further, we could bring the reactor disruptor into the explosion range, which would damage it even if it couldn't be destroyed.

But the current scope can only be said to be a temporary opening. With the capabilities of the Red Maple Republic fleet, this opening will be closed in a few minutes.

It seems that the last nuclear bomb did not play a key role.

"don’t worry."

Li Chengqi said:

"I saw something else before I blew myself up. I think it was the backhand of the Spinning Water Federation."

Alyssa also knew that the Spinning Water Federation would not think of anything to prevent such a troublesome target as the reactor jammer, but it was top secret, and she didn't know what to do.

As the flash of the nuclear explosion disappeared, the shock struck again, causing the equipment and images on the bridge to become distorted.

EMP will have devastating consequences for electronic equipment, but Alyssa and the others use magic technology, which only causes strong interference for a moment.

Along with the distortion on the radar screen, Alyssa suddenly saw several green friendly markers suddenly appearing diagonally above the Red Maple Republic fleet as if teleporting.

This cannot be a jump, because when the fleet engages in an artillery battle, a force field will be deployed to prevent the jump. Whether it is escaping or entering, it is impossible to get that close.

When the picture stabilized, Alyssa confirmed that it was not an equipment error, and that several friendly ships did appear there.

It's an absorber!

This word popped into Alyssa's mind. The absorber invented by Villania's grandfather had long been handed over to the Swirling Water Federation, but they had not equipped it on ships on a large scale. Alyssa thought that the Swinging Water Federation was I want to fully verify the effect of the absorber before talking about it.

Now it seems that the Spinning Water Federation is using the absorber as a trump card.

Then Alyssa turned the viewfinder, and almost at the same time, several thick spiral ion beams shot down like penetrating stars, accurately hitting the reactor jammer.

No wonder the Thunder Stripe Sea Serpent Cannon was not seen in the main fleet of the Spinning Water Federation. It turned out that they were keeping it as an ambush!
