Chapter 202: Engaging The Enemy
At the distant edge of the Solar System, this place has been desolate since time immemorial, and even the sunlight from the Sun takes four hours to reach here.
At this moment, that rusty spaceship was quietly stationed in this desolate airspace.
“The acceleration analysis result of this fleet indicates that this fleet uses backward Nuclear Fusion Engine Technology. The hull scan result shows they used Silver-like Super Metal with Molecular Level Processing Technology. Danger level determined as Level 3.”
Inside this spaceship, as the shipboard Computer reported the result, the Fox-headed alien let out a big sigh of relief.
Immediately after, its pair of small, seemingly very cunning eyes nimbly turned twice, the small mouth under the round nose slightly grinned, revealing two sharp fangs.
“Still using Nuclear Fusion Technology for energy supply, Material Processing Technology at Molecular Level Processing level.”
The Fox waved its fist, and a twisted smile began to appear on its insidious face.
“This civilization cannot possibly have a Super Large Flagship; this Material fundamentally lacks the capability to construct a Super Large Flagship. Perhaps the previous Spatial Fluctuation was just an accident, but this trip wasn’t in vain—unexpectedly, there’s a pleasant surprise.”
Ahead, the massive Azure Dragon Legion fleet began to decelerate, and under the precise commands of commanders at all levels, the fleet precisely stopped in the airspace 10 kilometers ahead of the alien spaceship.
Wang Wei stared intently at the space scene simulated in the 3D Helmet. At this moment, the shape of the alien spaceship ahead was clearly visible.
A petite spaceship 20 meters long, the dark red color on its hull was not rust; up close, it was clearly a painted color.
“Warning! Locked on!”
A’dai’s voice carried a hint of panic, suddenly ringing in Wang Wei’s Earphone.
Hearing this, Wang Wei clenched his fist.
These years of preparation were not in vain. Now it seemed the other side had no attitude of friendly Negotiation, locking onto their fleet right away, clearly coming with ill intent.
“Lock on it, Electromagnetic Cannon ready!”
At this moment, Wang Wei did not plan to evade; he needed to test the destructive power of this alien spaceship against their fleet.
“Warning, hull subjected to unknown heat source radiation attack, Armor damaged 2%! Determined as opponent’s attack method.”
A’dai’s voice rang out again, but this time much calmer.
2% Armor damage was acceptable; at least it wouldn’t be like the Conqueror’s Electromagnetic Railgun, which could punch right through a Punisher with one shot.
“Everyone, listen up—coverage salvo attack, fire!”
Wang Wei did not relax, however; the opponent’s spaceship remained completely still, as if waiting for something.
But he had a hunch and could guess that the opponent was waiting for their Weapon attack to judge the threat level.
I’ll indulge you.
With Wang Wei’s order, the Electromagnetic Cannon barrels of the entire 10,000-ship fleet lit up instantly.
It wasn’t that simple.
Around these Punishers, the Young Dragon C-types also spat out close-range melee Shells.
At this moment, looking from Outer Space, the area ahead of the Azure Dragon Legion was instantly covered in a dense, pitch-black swarm of melee Shells.
“What a joke—these backward barbarians, evade!”
At this moment, that alien spaceship moved.
Its hull tilted slightly upward, the Tail lit up with red Plasma, and it instantly shot diagonally upward.
At the same time, the Electromagnetic Cannon barrels on the Punisher vibrated slightly for an instant.
In the Flagship Command Room, Wang Wei stared dead at the alien spaceship ahead, sweat involuntarily seeping from his palms.
The dense barrage from 5,000 Punishers—he didn’t believe it could evade just by relying on speed!
“32 Ammunitions hit the opponent, hull shows obvious dent marks. Our Ammunition is effective.”
A’dai’s voice finally lost its anxiety, even carrying some Excitement.
Wang Wei nodded, a slight smile also appearing on his face. This full-range coverage barrage attack didn’t consider hit rate at all, but at the same time, it completely disregarded that the opponent’s Speed could outpace the tracking Speed of individual Ship Cannons.
5,000 Warships, one round of dense barrage adding up to 40,000 Shells.
Even if the opponent’s spaceship was faster and could perform high-speed circling around them, it still ate over 30 hits.
And what excited him even more was that the opponent’s hull showed dent marks, proving this attack method was effective.
The only pity was that even though the close-range melee Shells hit the opponent, due to the opponent’s excessive Speed, the Explosive Power diffusion Speed was extremely low, basically causing no major damage.
“Warning, hull Armor damaged 19%.”
“Shut up, I know. These damn barbarians, no martial virtue!”
The alien spaceship instantly flew hundreds of kilometers away, then began high-speed spiraling circumflight.
“Activate Armor Repairer, shut down Afterburner. Increase circumflight distance to 1000 kilometers.”
This alien clearly wasn’t encountering this situation for the first time; though extremely Angry at the moment, its issued commands were exceptionally clear.
Inside the Punisher, as the alien spaceship flew farther and farther in high-speed circumflight, the dense barrage was no longer effective.
At this point, the awkward part arrived.
Their spaceships simply couldn’t keep up with the opponent’s Speed.
The same for Young Dragon C-type; even though it was a spaceship built with high-Speed Performance as its keynote, it still lagged far behind the opponent in Speed.
Wang Wei’s expression grave, he looked through the Simulator at that spaceship maintaining a 1000-kilometer circumflight, watching a green glow begin to emerge on its hull, and unease immediately rose in his heart.
“Detected opponent’s spaceship Armor beginning to repair—this is nano-level Armor Repair Technology. Extremely advanced real-time Armor Repair Technology; the Conqueror uses this method to repair Armor.”
A’dai’s amazed voice sounded at the same time.
But he still didn’t stop.
“The heat source attack damage received by my ship has decreased—good news, at this distance, that ship of theirs can’t threaten us either.”
Wang Wei nodded, then let out a breath of relief.
He glanced at the Data Panel; though this series of events lasted only a few seconds, his Punisher’s Armor integrity had already dropped by over 5%.
Averaging about 1% drop per second—not much damage, but the brilliance was that they simply couldn’t evade this attack method.
One could imagine, if a small Battleship fleet was isolated, this ant-sized spaceship before them could leisurely destroy all the Punishers one by one.
“A’dai, I predict after it finishes Armor repair, it will close in for the next round of attack. At that time, fire one Dense Bomb with lead calculation; our fleet’s Punishers will handle peripheral Resistance to the shockwave, protecting the Young Dragons inside.”
Wang Wei pondered for a moment, then softly instructed.
He believed that since that spaceship didn’t leave, it must have a plan for the next round of attack.
Dragging on like this wasn’t a solution.
It was clear the opponent was a Spaceship Piloting pilot with an adventurous spirit—and coincidentally, he had an adventurous personality too.
“Understood, all Young Dragons and Punishers rapidly close to the center in inner and outer circle Formation!”
With A’dai’s Command Order issued, the entire fleet quickly began changing formation; the outer Young Dragons rapidly converged to the central area, followed by the Punishers contracting inward, soon forming a tight protective outer circle with their massive hulls.
Wang Wei’s guess was correct.
“Armor repair 100%, shut down Armor Repairer, activate Afterburner.”
Inside the alien spaceship, the Fox looked at the fully restored hull Armor, excitedly hopping twice, then issued the next round of attack commands.
Today, he would let this damn barbarian civilization properly witness the terror from an Advanced Civilization.
In this instant, the alien spaceship’s Tail erupted with red Plasma Tail Flame again, Speed suddenly increasing as it plunged headlong into that continuous dense barrage.
“It’s coming—this time opponent’s Speed is faster, and because we’re in defensive Formation with a smaller outer circle, the barrage coverage distance is also shorter.”
A’dai briefly described, and Wang Wei instantly understood, but he didn’t care about that, calmly waiting for the opportunity.
Soon, his Punisher hull was again subjected to unknown heat source attack, Armor continuing to drop at 1% per second.
Outside, the Punishers’ barrage seemed tireless, still covering the roughly 100-kilometer outer circle range of that spaceship’s circumflight without gaps.
When that alien spaceship finally settled at a 110-kilometer distance maintaining circumflight, Wang Wei gritted his teeth lightly:
“A’dai, calculate Route, one Dense Bomb ready, fire at any time.”
A’dai didn’t reply; though its main body was on the Conqueror 4 billion kilometers away, it could still use the Computer inside this Punisher to perform high-intensity Route Calculation.
This was to ensure no delay. After all, Xinghai’s Quantum Communication at this distance still required Relay Satellite signal relay, causing delay in information transmission.
But not much time passed.
Soon, a medium Missile shot rapidly from the fleet.
However, its launch direction was worlds apart from the alien spaceship’s direction—completely different.
“Barbarian fleets, fear! Tremble!”
The Fox piloted the spaceship, maintaining 110-kilometer distance for circumflight attacks.
At this moment, though its hull would occasionally be hit by one or two indiscriminate Electromagnetic Cannon Ammunitions, compared to the damage from dozens of hits during the close approach just now, it could sustain attacks for a long time.
It stared at the Armor percentage, still at 97%, silently estimating in its mind.
Before Armor dropped to 10%, it was fully enough to destroy that Command Ship continuously emitting electromagnetic signal waves in this round of attack.
After that, it would pull far away again, shut down the Afterburner, and perform Armor maintenance again.
After completing that, it would destroy all these nearly 10,000 Battleships one by one!
