Chapter 1836: First Shot Fired

"The patrol boat reported that a large number of ships were found!"

"Notify the patrol formation to return as soon as possible, and the entire fleet is ready for combat at the first level."

"Tsk, they are hiding next to nearby asteroids."

No matter how empty the galaxy is, there are a large number of meteorite belts composed of meteorites. This is a natural ambush position, which can not only block optical reconnaissance, but also radar.

However, it is not that urgent.

The ships that can hide in the meteorite belt must be only patrol ships. The main fleet cannot hide, and it is likely to lose personnel due to meteorite collisions rather than combat.

"The radar cannot lock the exact position."

"It's the absorber again. Let the fleet turn and confirm the exact position of the enemy through regional visual scanning."

The absorber technology has been leaked. Verania chose to sell the technology to the Swirl Water Federation shortly after the war began, but the research on the counter-absorber technology has been very slow.

In other words, now as long as both sides turn on the absorber, the radar, which is not very powerful, will be completely ineffective. In the vast void, everyone can only rely on optical sighting equipment to search for the enemy with the naked eye.

Not to mention the slow response, the void is too huge and too dark.

Due to the narrow viewing angle of the optical sighting equipment, if a fleet remains silent, it is likely to be discovered only when it is very close.

Fortunately, Alyssa and her team have made preparations for this.

The fleet she led just now did not stop the ship simply to watch the assembly of the Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent Cannon. A large number of space fighters and battle cruisers were sent to patrol nearby, and the area where each warship needs to observe and search for the enemy has been divided in advance according to the star map.

Now that the radar is not working, as long as each ship performs the task of visual search for the enemy in its own specified area, the exact location can be found quickly.

In less than three minutes, the latest report was sent quickly, and the enemy's position information was also marked on the star map.

Alyssa turned the optical sighting equipment over according to the instructions of the star map, and a fleet approaching appeared on the screen.

The Red Maple Republic is indeed at the end of its strength. More than 70% of the ships in this cruiser formation are armed merchant ships, or simply large merchant ships, and there is no time to modify them.

It's just that because of the absorber, it's difficult for the radar to lock on to it.

According to the distance measurement, it will take about five minutes to enter the firing range, and the time is completely enough.

But Alyssa frowned, feeling something was wrong.

This cruiser formation is far inferior to hers in both quality and quantity. As long as Alyssa leads the fleet to approach, they will be stopped before they even see where the Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent Cannon is, and it won't take too much time to wipe them out.

Is the Red Maple Republic really at the end of its rope and can only take out such a fleet?

How is it possible.

Even if there is not much intelligence, the Red Maple Republic can definitely guess that the Rotating Water Federation has weapons that can destroy the reactor jammer. After all, the threat of that thing is real, and it is impossible that no countermeasures have been developed for such a long time.

It is natural for the Red Maple Republic to counter this, but the countermeasure is just a fleet that can't even be considered a ragtag army.

There must be something wrong with this.

"Confirm the engine light, the enemy has released its carrier-based aircraft."

"Notify cruisers No. 40 to 80 to stay on standby, other warships to reorganize according to Plan 3, and the mobile aircraft carrier to prepare for catapult."

It was really a bit like a tiger away from the mountain, Alyssa decided to leave 40 warships to continue the escort mission, and it was definitely not a problem to deal with the ragtag army with the remaining warships alone.

At this time, the bridge of the Swan, which was turning, suddenly lit up. Through the glass of the bridge, a huge spiral beam could be seen piercing the darkness of the void, smashing and melting through all obstacles along the way, and heading towards the main fleet of the Red Maple Republic.

The first shot of the Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent was fired.

---------

The shrill emergency attack alarm and yellow warning lights kept echoing in the hangar, and all the pilots on standby rushed to their vehicles in a hurry. The ground crew was like being chased by a dog, and they were busy doing the final inspection before the catapult.

Because the Battle of Broken Horn was too tragic, a large number of carrier-based aircraft pilots had carried out fleet torpedo operations at that time, resulting in a large number of magic mechas being destroyed.

Even if the Whirlwater Federation worked at full capacity, it would not be possible to make up for the shortage of magic mechas in a short period of time, so many people had to re-operate space fighters that had retreated to the second line.

Fortunately, the Red Maple Republic was even worse. Due to the occupation of the resource galaxy, they almost had no resources to build large ships, let alone auxiliary weapons such as magic mechas. The pilots were not only flying space fighters, but also old and sealed models of the previous generation. It was unexpected that everyone started to compete for the worst at the end of the war.

As the mobile aircraft carrier adjusted its angle, the attack order was quickly issued.

The ground crew retreated to a safe distance and then began to eject.

A large number of carrier-based aircraft were quickly ejected from the cabin, and they formed a formation near the aircraft carrier according to the laser navigation and the guidance of the tower, and finally formed a huge and dense torrent, flying towards the enemy fleet.

This is the last battle, everyone knows it in their hearts, but it is hard to say that the fighting spirit is high.

Mortals are complex creatures, and it is difficult to generalize.

Check out the correct version in the 16-9 book forum!

Some people shouted excitedly in the channel, some people held the joystick tightly, and some people stared at the photos of their family members in a trance.

Because everyone knew that this was the last battle, and the way home was just around the corner, no one wanted to fall at the doorstep.

"I heard that the white ogre was shot down during the Battle of Broken Horn. Is it true?"

Someone suddenly said in the communication channel. The silence lasted for several seconds before there was a response.

"I heard it was true. My friend in the squadron saw him crash into the bridge of the battleship."

"What a pity. He must have wanted to see victory in the war."

"Don't talk too early."

Someone else interrupted:

"I have a relative who works on the Swan. He said that although the white ogre's body was gone, the person was still alive."

"Ah? He was still alive in that situation? Too strong, it's impossible."

"Don't say it's impossible, but..."

At this time, the flight commander suddenly interrupted:

"Contact is expected in five minutes. Everyone should not use the channel at will."

The chat was scolded, and everyone had to shut up obediently, but the flight commander suddenly added:

"Did you see the meteor at the two o'clock direction of our formation?"

Everyone stretched their heads and tried to see the position at the two o'clock direction through the hatch of the space fighter. A rapidly moving meteor was emitting charming light.

I just don't know why the flight commander asked everyone to look at the meteor.

"That's the white ogre."
