The bloody battle began in silence.
Rows of Stingray A-1 formed a neat circular formation in the air, like a cavalry galloping between the stars, and launched an assault on the splits released by the beetle ship.
The blue lightning flashed and intertwined into a dance of death in the dark universe.
The scorching laser tore open the flesh-red armor, and the Klein particle rays and the blobs of acid intertwined in the air. The spaceships of the Earth fleet collided with the swarm of splits released by the insectoid ships. They chased each other in the vast space, killing each other.
Every second, there were electric sparks that symbolized death, or the flesh-red armor of the splits that were no longer moving was torn open by the laser.
Everyone's eyes were bloodshot, and the trigger was pulled to the limit.
The high-temperature barrel was like a soldering iron in a blast furnace, the fangs and tentacles were close at hand, and the bloody breath was so conspicuous in the cold night.
A Stingray A-1 collided with a split. When the split pierced the cockpit with its fangs, the pilot shouted the name of the motherland and slammed his fist on the button below the cockpit.
The flames of the explosion engulfed the carrier-based aircraft and the injured split body in a scarlet light.
"Go to hell!"
Zhang Wei roared loudly as he clenched the grip between his knees, and the blood almost squeezed out of his eyes.
He glimpsed the jumping [Overload] in the lower right corner of the helmet with the corner of his eye, but at this moment, he had no extra energy to pay attention to it.
The crosshair was aimed at the split-body that was chasing its allies. He used his thumb to open the safety on the side of the grip and pressed the button hard.
Two flames erupted from below the carrier-based aircraft, and two short-range missiles hit the back of the split-body, blowing it into pieces.
Zhang Wei was about to turn the aircraft, but at this moment, in the center of the holographic screen of the tactical helmet, a line of red characters suddenly popped up.
[Retreat-]
…
On the bridge of the Enterprise.
The observer sitting in front of the radar console stared at the holographic screen intently and reported loudly.
"The carrier-based aircraft group has entered the target airspace!"
"Import coordinate parameters, barrage!" Luo Hong immediately ordered.
"Yes!"
Following Luo Hong's order, the reloading Enterprise adjusted the direction of the bow.
The row of mass accelerators on the side locked onto the movement route of the group of carrier-based aircraft. The moment the last carrier-based aircraft crossed the red line, a new round of volleys began.
Six hundred thousand kilometers away, the carrier-based aircrafts of the Earth Fleet and the splits released by the insect ships were engaged in a life and death chase. The arm-thick Klein particle ray chased from the rear from time to time, and the spaceships that were hit all turned into scrap metal.
"What are those people in the command center thinking?!" Zhang Wei gripped the joystick tightly and made tactical maneuvers from time to time to avoid the beams of light coming from behind.
Perhaps it was because he had defeated the three split bodies, the group of insects chasing after him seemed to be taking special care of him. A few beams almost brushed past his wings, and the instruments in the cockpit were still shaking like they were on drugs due to the interference of Klein particles.
Aerial combat was just that cruel.
Once the fight turned into a one-sided chase, it would be a bloody massacre for the pursued party.
Although the carrier-based aircrafts fell into a tough battle due to the number of splits, there was still a chance of winning if they continued to fight.
Zhang Wei didn't understand why the flagship temporarily took over the command of the carrier-based aircraft group and issued the order to retreat. He only knew that if this continued, not many carrier-based aircrafts would be able to return to the hangar alive.
Just as he was cursing and dodging the rays that were chasing after him, a sudden change occurred.
Without any warning, the three splits that chased him for about six kilometers exploded into a red and green blood mist as if they were slapped from the side by a fly swatter.
Zhang Wei paused for a moment, then a hint of ecstasy appeared on his face as he looked in the direction of the Enterprise.
Although from his current position, he couldn't see anything with the naked eye …
Almost at the same time the Borderlands fleet passed through that airspace, a dense barrage of bombs rained down on them. More than half of the thousands of splits chasing behind the carrier-based aircrafts were instantly destroyed.
The advantages and disadvantages of both sides were instantly reversed!
The carrier-based aircrafts that originally played the role of deserters immediately turned their muzzles and launched a second round of attacks towards the splits that were fleeing in all directions.
On the other side, the main cannons of the Borderland and the Judgment were still aimed at the insect ship, venting their fierce firepower.
The mass bombs and nuclear torpedoes continued to hit the body of the insect ship at the same time, and large pieces of flesh-colored fragments were peeled off from the body of the insect ship. However, the huge insect seemed to feel no pain. It completely ignored the mass bombs and nuclear torpedoes that hit its body. Its speed had climbed from 60 kilometers per hour to 120 kilometers per hour!
Two heavy bombs were dodged in a row. Seeing that the distance between the insect ship and the Borderland was only the last 20,000 kilometers, the carrier-based aircrafts finally returned to the battlefield in time.
Along with this group of carrier-based aircrafts, there were also 600 medium-range missiles launched from the Enterprise …
There was finally no suspense about the outcome.
Without the protection of the splits, facing the harassment of the carrier-based aircrafts, the tentacles behind the insect ship were cut off one after another by laser weapons. The Border, which had completely lost its mobility and had just finished reloading, fired another heavy shell at the front of the insect ship.
The moment the flesh-colored armor came into contact with the bomb, it shattered into dust. The huge kinetic energy that was enough to tear apart an asteroid instantly destroyed the tissue structure on the insect ship, blasting it into pieces of flesh-colored fragments.
Excited cheers erupted in the bridge!
People threw their hats into the air, hugged each other, and vented the excitement in their hearts!
Especially on the Borderland, when the captain of the Borderland saw that the insect ship was finally shattered by the mass bomb at 5,000 kilometers, he collapsed back into his chair.
If it weren't for the carrier-based aircrafts arriving in time, they would have probably collided with the insect ship by now. Whether they could survive the collision or not was not a wise decision to engage in a close-range boarding battle with the insects in the cabin of the starship …
The cold sweat on his back was blown away by the joy of victory.
In the bridge of the Enterprise, Luo Hong let out a long breath, slowly loosened his sweaty fists, and squeezed out a smile on his face.
The victory came too suddenly.
The decisive battle half a century later, he didn't expect it to come so many years in advance.
Originally, he thought he would never see that day in his life, but he didn't expect to become the hero who defeated the Harmony Civilization colonial ship.
In another ten years, it will be the expedition against Gliese 581.
However, at this moment, the smile on Luo Hong's face suddenly froze, and the cheering crowd gradually quieted down.
Looking at the holographic screen, the image that gradually emerged from behind the Kuiper Belt, everyone's pupils began to show a trace of fear …
"Sh * t …"
"God, what is that …"
"…"
A huge figure emerged behind the ring-shaped asteroid belt. Hundreds of kilometers of ribbon-like tentacles slowly floated. Behind the huge flesh-colored film, dazzling spherical light particles flashed.
In front of it, the insect ship from before was not even as long as one of its antennae.
And the three million-ton starships in front of it were like ants under the feet of an elephant …
The joy of surviving the disaster was gone.
The bridge of the Enterprise was silent.
Staring at the giant shadow in the center of the holographic screen, Luo Hong fell into a sluggish state. His throat moved up and down with difficulty, but he couldn't say a word.
At this moment, all words were so pale.
