Chapter 987: Pursuit Consumption
"Received!"
"All battleships above the Qin class are no longer restricted by the fleet formation.
Pursue the enemy's large battleship formation and force the enemy's super battleship formation to return for support!"
As the military order was conveyed, the ten Eastern Zhou-class and Western Zhou-class battleships of the United Government Army shook off the fleet formation behind and rushed towards the Black Gold Alliance Fleet formation at full speed.
This move was indeed effective.
Without having to take care of the speed of the large battleship formation, the super battleship formation quickly shortened the starry sky distance with the Black Gold Alliance Fleet.
At this time, the head fleet of the United Government Army was only 1,500 kilometers away from the tail fleet of the Black Gold Alliance Army.
This is almost close to the maximum attack range of the beam weapon.
As for why the missile weapon with a longer range was not used for attack, it was because the missile was flying in space and the enemy's warship was also flying in space.
When the missile flew to a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers, the enemy's warship had also flown nearly 1,000 kilometers away.
Therefore, unless the distance is relatively close.
Otherwise, even the fastest missiles would hardly pose a substantial threat to the enemy fleet.
On the side of the Black Gold Alliance Fleet, an officer reported:
"Report!
The enemy's Eastern Zhou-class warships and Western Zhou-class warships formed a formation and chased after our fleet!"
Hearing this, Hamlet and others in charge of command were not in a hurry.
Because this situation was within their expectations.
Hamlet ordered:
"The fleet turns and enters the gravel star belt."
"All members of the fleet listen to the order!
The fleet turns and enters the gravel star belt!"
A scout from the United Government Fleet reported:
"Report to the commander-in-chief, all members of the enemy fleet have changed the direction of their escape route!"
The general who was the commander-in-chief heard this and asked:
"Check the direction of the route they changed and what's ahead."
"Yes!"
Soon as the fleets of both sides flew forward, a large area of light appeared on the radar display.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief!
There is a large area of rubble star belt ahead!"
One of his officers tentatively analyzed:
"Could it be that the Black Gold Alliance Army wants to use the rubble star belt to slow down the pursuit speed of our fleet?
That shouldn't be the case.
Our fleet is affected by the rubble star belt, and the Black Gold Alliance Army fleet will also be affected by the rubble star belt and slow down."
Another subordinate officer said:
"Could it be that there is something hidden in the rubble star belt?
Could it be that there are a large number of super battleships hidden to double-team us?"
As the commander-in-chief, the general felt that his officers' analysis was very good, but he still said confidently:
"It should be something ambushed, but it can't be a fleet.
Because a large number of fleets on Black Stone Star have been mobilized to other star field battlefields, what the Black Gold Alliance Army lacks most now is fleet forces."
Hearing this, the subordinate officers were all relieved.
No matter what the Black Gold Alliance Army ambushed in the rubble star belt, as long as it is not a fleet, they are not afraid.
After the Black Gold Alliance Army entered the Gravel Belt first, they were disturbed by the Gravel Belt and their sailing speed slowed down.
However, the fleet of the Black Gold Alliance Army seemed to have explored this Gravel Belt long ago.
They had already found the best path in advance, reducing the interference brought to their fleet by the Gravel Star to the minimum.
Seeing this, the commander of the United Government Army fleet chasing behind could not help but sneer:
"Stupid.
You found a path ahead of time, and when we followed you, wouldn't you be completely exposed to us?"
The commander-in-chief, who was a general, ordered:
"Record the route of the Black Gold Alliance Army fleet and transmit it to the large battleship formation in the rear."
"Received!
The sailing route of the Black Gold Alliance Army fleet will be fully reproduced!"
However, just as the super battleship formation chasing the United Government Army entered the Gravel Star.
Hamlet, the commander-in-chief of the Black Gold Alliance Army, suddenly ordered:
"Drop space bombs!"
"Yes!
Drop space bombs!"
In an instant, tens of millions of space bombs that had been deployed in the gravel star belt were thrown out by the automatic bomb dropper.
Looking at the dense space bombs appearing in the starry sky ahead, the general who was the commander-in-chief sneered and said:
"Humph.
You want to block our sailing direction with these space bombs, naive!
Rush directly over, just in time to clear the bombs for the large number of battleship formations behind!"
"Received!"
"Maximize the energy output of the fleet's defense shield, full speed ahead!"
The defense shields around the ten super battleships suddenly increased in number, and they flew straight to the gravel star belt full of space bombs in a parallel manner.
This way of contacting the space bombs with the largest area is not conducive to saving the energy of the defense shield.
But it can clear a flying area with the largest area in the navigation route.
Clear a clean channel for the large battleship formations behind.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Countless space bombs hit the energy shields of the Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou classes and exploded one after another.
The noise caused by the explosion can only be transmitted by a small range of explosion waves in space.
However, when it fell on the warship leading the United Government Army, it was deafening and constantly echoed in the ears of every soldier.
The light and sea of fire produced by the explosion illuminated a large area of the starry sky, and instantly submerged all ten super battleships.
Moreover, weapons as powerful as space bombs could not break the defense of the Dongzhou-class battleships after all.
The Black Gold Alliance Army did not expect to directly break the defense shield of the Dongzhou-class battleships with space bombs.
What they had to do was to consume the defense shield energy of the United Government Army's super battleships.
When the ten United Government Army's super battleships rushed out of the gravel star belt, the defense shield energy of each Dongzhou-class battleship was consumed by more than 30%.
And for the lower-level Western Zhou-class battleships, most of the defense shield energy was only about 40%.
At this time, due to the deceleration of the gravel star belt, the leading pursuit fleet of the United Government Army was only 1,100 kilometers away from the large battleship formation at the rear of the Black Gold Alliance Army.
It was about to enter the attack range of the beam weapon.
At this time, the fleet of the Black Gold Alliance Army did not continue to escape.
Instead, they all turned around and rushed towards the ten super battleships that were chasing the United Government Army.
The leading ones were the super battleship formations of the Black Gold Alliance Army.
The defensive shield energy of the super battleships of the Black Gold Alliance Army was higher than that of the United Government Army.
When the main fleets of both sides collided, the United Government Army was definitely at a greater disadvantage.
But this was only when the super battleship formations of both sides were calculated.
Behind the fleet chasing the United Government Army, there were more large battleship formations.
"What is the Black Gold Alliance Army trying to do?"
Feeling a little confused, the general who was the commander-in-chief began to think.
