Chapter 1154 Chaotic battlefield

"Missouri, Yorktown's energy shield failed and entered the cooling process..."

"Hamilton and Phoenix..."

"Festum broke through the [Xuanwu-level] defense circle through the gap, and the MS troops have launched a pursuit..."

"Don't panic! The Missouri and Yorktown retreated to speed up the cooling process. The Hamilton and Phoenix dispersed on both sides to leave the passage open. The Yodon and Texas turned 30° to keep up with the Hamilton and Phoenix. Together, attack the Festum who broke into the defense circle from both sides! The third squadron of the MS 1st Battalion retreated 10 kilometers and intercepted the Festum that escaped through the passage!" After receiving a lot of feedback, I made a plan in my mind while looking at the combat map! Lelouch of the battle strategy calmly commanded the fleet.

Lelouch, who had been working as an apprentice under Rebel, was now able to act on his own. Although Lelouch still did not lead a fleet alone and was still Rebel's chief of staff, this was also Lelouch's own wish.

In a large-scale battle, Raibil is still in charge of the overall command of the entire fleet. His order priority is second only to Yang Hui. Lelouch is Raibil's chief of staff. Raibil has handed over part of the command to Lelouch. The second master and apprentice People also have enough tacit understanding to cooperate with the command.

In Lelouch's view, Ray Bill's chief of staff has a higher status than an ordinary fleet commander in large-scale battles. Rather than leading a fleet alone, he prefers to have an overview of the overall situation and be responsible for large group operations.

"learn!"

"How long will it take for the Missouri and Yorktown to cool down?"

"3 minutes!"

"How much remaining ammunition is there for this ship's reaction bombs?"

"There are 50 more!"

"...Missile launchers No. 1 to 10 are loaded with reactive bombs and are ready! Lock the coordinates A01, B21, C35, D41, E59... and launch after three minutes to suppress the enemy's momentum. After the detonation, the Missouri and York City No. Block the gap in the defense line!"

"learn!"

Orders were issued one after another. Lelouch's eyes were fixed. It had been two hours since the battle began. The fleet's firepower was no longer as fierce as it was at the beginning. Too many reactive bombs were used. The entire legion did not have much remaining ammunition. Neither the red mark on the combat radar nor the golden ocean visible to the naked eye was reduced at all, which also made Lelouch feel the pressure.

"Sure enough, we still need..." Lelouch looked in the direction of Yang Hui and others.

Although the golden ocean is still turbulent and the red mark in the radar detection system is still red, he knows that the balance of victory has tilted towards the Promes Legion. Except for the [Happy Knight] and [Bloody Knight], in the end, There are only a dozen or so threatening Azazel-types left and they are still struggling. There are also very few Diablo-types and retinue-type Festums left. The top combatants will soon be able to allocate their energy to support the main battlefield, or support Yang Hui and Graham.

The key to the outcome of this battle is not the main battlefield, but the outcome between Yang Hui, Graham, [Happy Knight], and [Bloody Knight]. As long as they decide the winner, this battle will be declared. It's over, so the only goal of the main battlefield is to hold on, hold on before Yang Hui and Graham defeat [Happy Knight] and [Bloody Knight]!

"High energy response detected...it's an artillery strike!"

"The force field barrier output mode is adjusted to concentrate energy on the front!"

"learn!"

"The bombardment is coming!"

"Boom~!"

"Uh-huh~!!!" XN

Dozens of purple-black energy bombardments rushed from the gaps in the defense line, not only hitting the sides of several [White Tiger-class] firepower ships, but also turning into thunder and exploding on the [General Ray Bill].

Fortunately, Lelouch took countermeasures in advance and concentrated all the energy of the force field barrier at the bow of the ship, so that he could block so many shelling fires.

"Report the situation!"

"The damage is minor, the energy consumption of the force field barrier is 79%, and it can continue to support!"

"The recharging time is estimated to be 5 minutes..."

"Festum's assault force was suppressed and had difficulty breaking through the passage!"

"The force field barrier returned to normal operation. The second and third brigades of the MS troops carried out assault operations and eliminated all the abyssal maw-shaped Festum. The fourth and fifth brigades covered it and told Toudo and Gino that all the abyssal maw-shaped Festum must be eliminated. "Destroy the Abyss-shaped Festum, not a single one left!" Lelouch ordered. The Abyss-Maw Festum is a new type of Festum that appeared later in the year. Its entire body is a large worm. In addition to its golden flesh, there is only a ferocious giant. Mouth, this Festum only has one attack method, which is charged bombardment, but it should not be underestimated. The power of one shot is enough to consume 60% of the force field barrier of the [Xuanwu-class] shield ship, and even more so for the [White Tiger-class] firepower ship. Unable to withstand it, one shot is enough to break it.

If it is just a small-scale battle, the risk is very small. Not only does it take a long time to accumulate energy, but there are also obvious signs before launching. You can perform evasive maneuvers in advance. Generally speaking, after firing a shot, you are a lamb to the slaughter. .

But now it is a large-scale battle. The battlefield is too huge. The number of enemy vanguards is endless. The threat of the Abyssal Mouth-shaped Festum has also risen sharply. Therefore, Lelouch ordered that all the Abyssal Mouth-shaped Festum must be destroyed as soon as possible. Eliminate them to prevent them from threatening the safety of the fleet again.

"learn!"

…

"The order is coming, all aircraft must assemble, tactical formation A01."

"Understood!"XN

[Jiminy] After killing dozens of Festums with his sword, Kaishiro Toudo received Lelouch's order and immediately gathered all the team members. There were still many Festums blocking them at the moment, and they wanted to rush to them. It's not that easy in front of the abyss-mouthed Festum.

"Mr. Todo, our team will charge from the direction of Q93." Gino on the other side also received the order and immediately contacted Kaishiro Todo.

"Okay, our team will attack from the direction of G21. Audrin, Aniya, I'll leave it to you to provide fire cover."

"Don't worry, I will help you open the way."

"It's ready."

In [Siegfried Network], Kaishiro Toudo, Gino Beinberuk, Audrey Zevon, and Anja Alstrom are connected together.

"It's now!"

The four people connected to each other seized the best opportunity and started taking action at the same time. The third brigade led by Audrey Zevon and the fourth brigade led by Ania Alstrom were both heavy firepower long-range support units. , at the same time, they opened fire in the direction of the First Brigade and the Second Brigade. The fierce firepower tore open two spacious roads in the golden ocean.

The First Battalion led by Kaishiro Toudo and the Second Battalion led by Gino Beinberuk would not stand aside and immediately followed the passage opened by the Third and Fourth Battalions to fight in, forming a cone. In the formation, as captains, the two men naturally have to assume the responsibility of cone heads, as the sharpest blades of the group.

"Continue to maintain firepower output and don't let Festum get closer!"

"Continue fire support, don't stop."

After the third and fourth brigade tore open the road, they spread their firepower to both sides of the road. The dense barrage blocked Festum, which was like an ocean trying to close.

"Senha, Asahina, Bubu, Chiba!" The first team had rushed out of the passage and arrived in front of the abyss-shaped Festum. Todo Kaishiro immediately gave the order to disperse and massacre the abyss-shaped Festum, [ The yin and yang swords in Jiminy's hands slashed left and right, and the two dazzling sword lights directly cut several worms in the sky in half.

The direct subordinates of Kaishiro Toudo, the [Four Holy Swords], also spread out. The sharp blade in the hand of the machine shone with cold light, and the sword light shone, easily cutting open the body of the abyss-shaped Festum. At the same time, the machine gun in his hand opened fire, clearing the wanted Defend the other Festum coming up.

The second team on the other side also rushed forward. The moment the abyss-shaped Festum entered the attack range, the energy claws popped out from the finger joints, transforming into the king of beasts, tearing apart its prey to its heart's content. The team members also Following in the footsteps of Gino Beinberuk, the massacre began.

Not only the first and second teams, but also the Abyssal Mouth-shaped Festum appeared in other directions. Each fleet sent out assault troops to launch a charge, tearing open the golden ocean and targeting the Abyssal Mouth Festum. Under the cover of firepower from friendly forces, they successfully killed all the abyssal mouth-shaped Festum.

"Chief of Staff, all units are reporting that all Abyssal Mouth-shaped Festum have been eliminated!"

"Cover the troops to withdraw into the defensive circle, and instruct the radar detection systems to pay attention to the appearance of the new abyssal mouth-shaped Festum. If it is discovered, notify me as soon as possible."

"learn!"

"The USS Missouri and the USS York City's force field barrier have completed the cooling process, and the force field barrier is back online!"

"Order the Missouri and Yorktown to return to their original posts immediately and seal the gap!"

"learn!"

The gap was re-blocked and the defense line became stable again. Lelouch felt a little more relaxed. After looking at the current situation, he felt that there was a chance to counterattack, so he looked at Ray Bill.

"Stabilize the front and wait for the battle situation on the front line." Ray Bill pressed his military cap and said to Lelouch in a deep voice.

"……learn."

Although Lelouch didn't say anything, Ray Bill guessed what Lelouch wanted to say and directly rejected his idea.

Lelouch did not argue about this. The tacit understanding between teachers and students made Lelouch feel that things were not that simple. Ray Bill must have other plans, otherwise he would not miss this good opportunity to launch a counterattack or even support. The Promes and the Ace Force destroyed the Diablo type, the retinue type Festum and the Azazel type as quickly as possible.

…

At the core of the battlefield, the sky was divided into two areas. One area was dyed like ink, intertwined and fighting with the sacred golden light, and the other area was filled with blood-red clouds that were constantly smashed by a black meteor.

"It's really a bit troublesome. Isn't it difficult to deal with?" Yang Hui's eyes were filled with colorful light, staring at the [Happy Knight] in front of him. At this time, the [Happy Knight] was no longer wearing armor. not a knight, but a hateful monster.
