Chapter 668 -441: Suicide Counter-Assault

(The Shadow Fleet prototype comes from “Goth Fleet: Armada” and its combat barge design, which is impressively cool! For those who can’t picture it, have a look.)

Just as the black fleet’s movement appeared on the radar, no one inside the Hidden Land Battleship knew that Qi Longxiang’s brows twitched slightly.

Because…

The named Shadow Fleet’s movement was too orderly, almost as precise as a Light Computer conducting tactical simulations down to the angle of each warship.

“I am really looking forward to the tactics you will come up with.”

Qi Longxiang muttered to himself quietly and then fell silent.

To the ordinary officers, both fleets were now dazzlingly adjusting their formations.

However, to the true fleet officers, they were gradually losing their ability to keep up with the evolving tactics of both sides.

Boom!

Finally, the first and second combat commands began to be executed in turn.

“First Stage, Light Strike Cannon Formation, spiral attacks in sequence by sub-fleets, ten volleys striking the right flank.”

That was the first command issued by Qi Longxiang, but as this attack was just beginning, his eyebrows had already completely knotted!

Because the fleet in the sky began to collectively change direction, forming a double vertical formation on the right side, and that terrifying Light Spear Rain assault reignited—an attack pattern resembling ancient infantry spear formations, covering a vast attack area.

Moreover, the most peculiar thing was the existence of some kind of force field among these Light Spears, creating a repelling reaction with the Light Cannons.

Light Strike Cannon Formation… failed to break through the spear formation!

Major General Wang’s temples throbbed in the flagship command center and he couldn’t help but speak out, “What in the world is this weapon?”

No one could answer.

The only one with knowledge, Lord Black, naturally would not reveal that this was core ship-borne technology from a superpower in a parallel universe.

A mass-produced ship-borne weapon that encompasses both physical penetration capabilities and energy attack force fields!

“Mu Fan, this is the Shadow Fleet’s first combat, and I, the greatest intelligent life in these stars, will not allow myself to fail. Your world’s mecha level has already surpassed the Yake Empire, but your warship technology…”

In the virtual space, a metallic sphere against the backdrop of a pitch-black universe let out an inexplicable cold chuckle.

The command issued by Mu Fan was its highest priority at that moment; before this objective was completed, all obstacles would be flattened!

Under Qi Longxiang’s command, ten waves of strikes nearly covered a 210° space, yet shockingly, it seemed as if the opposing fleet could predict each movement with maddening precision!

They expanded and converged at times.

When the Federation Fleet’s firepower formed an overwhelming strike, it finally surpassed the defensive range of the Light Spear formation.

And at that moment, a scene that made everyone’s eyes pop occurred once more.

Those outermost, smallest warships suddenly emitted an immense, unilateral energy shield from their hulls, blocking the range of the Light Strike Cannons.

Then, stopping the forward thrust of their engines, they directly formed a barrier with their steel bodies.

Boom, boom!

Twelve escort ships had their shields depleted and shattered after several hits, their bodies instantly riddled like honeycombs.

“Good!”

“Well done.”

The command room erupted in cheers, yet no one noticed that the remaining fleet had quietly moved up a distance.

And on the other side, Qi Longxiang, with his eyes tightly shut, didn’t look nearly as excited.

Because this opponent’s defense was too ruthlessly cold.

Continue with the Second Command!

The Magnetic Energy Cannon Formation activated, circles of pale blue trajectories twisted and emerged in the sky.

This time, their angles of attack were even more cunning.

And finally, the assault ships began to accelerate toward the Shadow Fleet.

They approached up close and then deployed swarm tactics to severely limit the fleet’s maneuverability.

However, the dark Escort Ships reappeared, unhesitatingly deploying their shields, and this time, a larger warship painted in a cutting-edge red burst forth from a gap purposely left by the Escort Ships.

It was the Netherfire Assault Cruiser of the Yake Empire Navy!

Yet no one recognized these ships. If the enemies of the Yake Empire in another parallel universe had seen the Netherfire attack ships appear, they would definitely not have recklessly attacked.

Because it represented the most extreme firepower among all cruisers in that starry sky—

A pure attack cruiser!

As for the method of attack…

Thirty-two Netherfire Battleships instantly ignited a strange flame at their tips, and then the fiery fire instantly covered the ships.

As people wondered what these warships were about to do, an extremely exaggerated scene unfolded.

Thirty-two Netherfire Battleships, like thirty-two huge Fire Meteors, brought down the entire magnetic shield web composed of Wager Guard Ships with a resounding crash!

Their acceleration instantly broke the sound barrier.

Hundreds of meters high and thousands of meters wide, the sonic boom’s white fog was something none present had ever seen before, yet today they witnessed it.

Inside the secondary command room of the Hidden Land Battleship, Lin Hao, who had once trained as a new officer in Ding Chuan, had his mouth wide open.

Having fought with Qi Longxiang for several years, he had never seen such a tactic.

“These people on the warships, have they gone mad? Do they have no regard for their lives?”

The people on these ships weren’t mad, because there were no people on them at all.

In Lord Black’s mind, these were merely expendable assets. As long as Base 131 remained undisturbed, these fleets could be replenished in time.

The purpose of producing these machines was to serve through sacrifice.

Even Lord Black himself did not know that, as an advanced military Smart Brain of the Yake Empire, its value was being demonstrated for the first time in this universe.

“This is the first battle under Lord Black’s primary authority, Mu Fan, you will definitely witness my formidable power.”

The most terrifying attack mode of the Yake Empire Navy—Netherfire Assault Matrix!

Directly under everyone’s gaze, an entire split fleet squadron was engulfed within, and tens of thousands of tons of warships collided with a violent explosion that covered the sky. Then, in a moment of intersection, the remaining Netherfire Assault Ships exploded outward like a secondary detonation.

Instantly, a huge fiery expanse formed in the sky.

The flames carried by that Netherfire Battleship, like bone-devouring maggots, once they attached to a Federation Warship, they stuck and corroded through the outer shell and ignited the interior.

The soldiers on nearby ships were struck dumb; such reckless and brutal attack methods deeply shocked their hearts, and even a trace of fear began to rise.

Because up until now, not a single change had appeared in the enemy’s formation.

“Data statistics: The enemy’s casualties have already exceeded 40%! There are no signs of collapse!”

The battle monitor exclaimed in horror.

By then, people also noticed that the main body of that fleet was still retreating in an orderly fashion, and the radar map showed that perfectly coordinated formation from every angle.

“Colonel Qi, please make sure to hold the enemy down, and start the giant cannon attack in advance.”

Major General Wang’s eyes shifted uncertainly, and he directly picked up the walkie-talkie.
