"Didi...... Didi ......"
In the cabin of the Kaos engine, a red indicator light is lit on the console, indicating that the "electromagnetic catapult" is ready.
Yin Jian dropped his goggles and injected a stream of spiritual energy into the power pool, and the mecha engine started with a deep roar.
"Passage 1 is ready, 'Kaos, attack'
Under the action of the electromagnetic catapult, Kaos rushed out of the flight deck of the "Trojan Horse" with 6 times the force of g, like a stone thrown into the air by a catapult. However, there is no gravity in the vacuum, and if this state is maintained, Kaos will maintain a uniform linear motion until it is captured by the gravity of a massive star.
Yin Jian didn't want to become an "artificial satellite", so he casually turned on the jet engine, and four blue ion streams shot out from behind Kaos, counteracting the inertia and stabilizing the center of gravity over the battleship.
Tick...... Tick......
The radar display resembles a rippling surface of water, and the modulated spiritual waves spread outward in circles, scanning the surrounding universe.
The surroundings were very calm, except for Ye Chen, Morgan and other guards who followed one after another, there was no other life signal nearby.
It's been three days since the last Void Zerg attack, during which the "Trojan Horse" and "Princess" have not encountered pirates again, but this does not mean that the "Spider Legion" has given up the pursuit, and Anya and Kerr have still not been able to open the "wormhole", proving that the Void Lord who cursed them is still within the range of a wormhole jump, and Tong Guò has always continued to track the "Princess" in this way, obviously not giving up.
After spending three days in apprehension, the people on both warships were under great mental pressure, but fortunately, this difficult journey finally came to an end.
Ahead is a swirling dark nebula, which is represented on the star map as a "dangerous unknown universe", and it is said that there is a black hole in the core of the nebula, and even light cannot escape, and no life dares to set foot lightly.
The "springboard" to Zo4 - "Ptolemy Stargate" is located on the edge of this dark nebula, this is a very remote stargate, there are often large groups of Zerg nearby, rarely commercial travel, the Union Customs Administration believes that this place lacks commercial value, so the customs space station has not yet been erected.
The mission of Yin Jian and the others on this voyage is to clear the channel leading to the Star Gate, ensure that the "Trojan Horse" and the "Princess" pass through the Guò Ptolemy Star Gate safely, and then they will enter the sphere of influence of the Star Zerg Clan, and no longer have to worry about pirate harassment.
Captain Vincent often complained that the customs rate of the Star Gate was too high, but now it is really necessary to pass through the Star Gate without a customs station, so as to avoid a chance to be exploited, everyone feels very uneasy, and would rather pay taxes in exchange for safety.
The absence of customs means that the "Ptolemaic Star Gate" is not under the control of the Blue Star Alliance government, and the anti-smuggling fleet will not patrol the nearby Celestial Domain, and the chance of being ransacked by Zerg or pirates is even higher.
The passage to the "Ptolemaic Star Gate" was not abnormal, Yin Jian was just about to return home, a red light suddenly flashed on the radar, and then a piercing alarm came, making him gasp, there was actually a fleet lurking in the dangerous dark nebula, and he didn't know if he wanted to
Sensing that the situation was not good, Yin Jian hurriedly alerted the mothership, and then opened the team's communication channel and commanded in a deep voice.
"All hands ready for enemy attack"
"Mecha Guard Fire Escort"
At the same time, a dense beam of light swept from the dark nebula, and one of the high-energy laser cannons hit the side of the "Princess", but fortunately, the captain Anya was reminded by Yin Jian to open the protective shield of the battleship in time and did not cause heavy damage.
A crimson "Poseidon-class" heavy cruiser came out from behind the "Ptolemy Star Gate" and blocked the route of Yin Jian and his entourage, and the ship's huge red skull symbol indicated the identity of this steel giant - the flagship of the True Red Pirate Regiment "Prometheus"
Six "Vulcan-class" frigates surrounded the "Prometheus", and the ship's main guns fired frequently at the "Trojan Horse" and "Princess".
"Closing the living quarters"
Open Shield
"Where is the gunner? Give me a hard shot."
The Trojan Horse's command room reverberated with the roar of Captain Vincent, a gentlemanly retired officer who had red eyes like a mad lion after an enemy attack, and everyone was busy under his reprimand.
The helmsman of the "Trojan Horse" adjusted the ship to the position facing the pirate fleet, and the second electromagnetic cannon was loaded, and the gunner locked onto the pirate flagship and opened fire.
At the same time, the "Prometheus" also bombarded the "Trojan Horse", and it was even more coincidental that two of the shells collided in the air, bursting into a cloud of brilliance that eclipsed the stars......
The "Trojan Horse" was unlucky, and another cannonball grazed the side of the "Prometheus" and disappeared into the dark nebula behind it, while itself was hit by the opponent's main gun, and the "five-level protective shield" quickly turned red, and the hull trembled violently.
The command room was overturned, and a piercing alarm sounded, louder than the alarm was the roar of Captain Vincent.
"Check for damage"
"Moderate damage to the ship, failure of the sixth auxiliary engine, loss of protective shield 2"
When the damage was summed up, Captain Vincent's face was as gloomy as ice, and more than a quarter of the shield was lost in just one shot, and he was surprised by the power of the enemy's flagship main gun. However, he did not express his worries, and calmly ordered the main guns, secondary guns, and torpedoes to continue to return fire, even if the "Trojan Horse" could not escape today, he would make those damned pirates pay
The naval artillery bombardment kicked off this naval battle in space, and it was difficult for the battleship to be destroyed by shells until the shields of both sides were exhausted.
The Prometheus fleet persuaded the pirates to surrender after the first round of bombardment, a common tactic used by the pirates. The purpose of piracy is to seek money, if the two sides continue to bombard, the loss of ammunition will be a painful expenditure for them, if the other side resists to the end, and finally the ship is destroyed, then the harvest of this raid is equivalent to zero, obviously a loss-making deal.
Therefore, after a round of demonstrative shelling, the pirates hoped that the "fat sheep" who fell into the trap would be smarter, obediently surrender and pay the ransom, and at least have a chance to save their lives.
However, the True Red Pirates are notorious even in pirate circles, and they have repeatedly slaughtered merchant ships after they gave up their resistance, and their methods are horrific in their cruelty. Captain Vincent didn't want to pin the fate of the "Trojan Horse" on the conscience of the pirates, and scoffed at persuasion, but this time his mission was to escort Yin Jian, but he didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he asked him about his attitude in the encrypted communication channel.
"Surrender? Hehe, this option is not on my radar, Captain Vincent, we will teach those greedy hyenas a lesson in this battle."
Yin Jian's confident smile brought some comfort to Vincent and the entire crew, at this time, someone must always stand up and stabilize the morale of the army, even if he knows that he is bragging.
At the critical juncture, Grand Duke Anya did not waver, his position was consistent with that of Yin Jian, and he also rejected the persuasion of the True Red Pirate Regiment to surrender, and the naval guns opened fire with all their might, indicating that it would rather be broken than broken.
This apparently angered the True Red Pirates, and the Prometheus and its frigates sent hordes of space fighters to swarm the Trojan Horse and Princess.
