Under Xia Fan's control, the Otto-class dreadnought turned around and took out its planet-destroying cannon, which was designed to destroy planets, and began to bombard the Godslayer Society's fleet!
The bombardment was the most tragic scene in the war. High-tech spaceships were equipped with many electronic suppression devices, such as warp disruptors. Once a warp disruptor locked onto the warp engine, the warp engine would be disabled, and the spaceship would not be able to leave during the battle. It could only fight to the death.
The current situation was that Xia Fan had used the warp disruptor to lock onto at least twelve of the enemy's battleships, and the enemy had used more warp disruptors to lock onto Xia Fan. Unless there was a winner in this battle, no one could escape!
* Kaboom! *
* Kaboom! *
The giant cannon roared hysterically. The sound of the explosion shook the universe, and the light it emitted lit up the galaxy!
Xia Fan had made up his mind to fight the enemy to the death!
The Star Destroyer Cannon let out a monstrous roar, and the cannon fire hit the middle of one of the enemy's battleships. The powerful force directly tore the hull of the battleship in half. Then, the two halves of the Hellfire-class battleship exploded internally, turning into a dazzling firework in the dark space. Thousands of crew members were instantly annihilated.
Xia Fan's strategy was very simple, and that was to kill!
As there was only one main cannon on the Otto-class dreadnought, Xia Fan could only attack one target at a time. However, due to the power of the Planet-Destroying Cannon, each shot could directly destroy the enemy's battleship.
The Godslayer Society used a group attack tactic. They quickly approached like a swarm of killer bees, and then threw all their firepower at the dreadnought, trying to quickly whittle down the defense of the dreadnought.
From the looks of it, it seemed that both sides' tactics were very successful. The energy shield of the dreadnought that Xia Fan controlled had been destroyed. If the armor layer was destroyed as well, Xia Fan would only have the last structural layer to defend himself.
However, Xia Fan's passive position was only more obvious in the first ten minutes of the battle. That period was really dangerous. Under the siege of more than a hundred enemy battleships, the energy shield was like a roller coaster, falling rapidly. However, as the enemy battleships were killed one by one by Xia Fan, the Godslayer Society's firepower was getting weaker and weaker.
Both sides suffered heavy losses. If this continued, even a twelve-kilometer-long battleship would not be able to hold on for long.
"Over 50% of the armor has been destroyed!" Midas Feather observed the data on the screen and shouted anxiously.
His face was pale. Jin Yu, who had learned how to pilot a capital ship, knew very well what it meant to lose fifty percent of the ship's armor. After all, this was a huge and clumsy capital ship. If it fell into a fierce battle, it would definitely not be able to escape. It was not like the light warships of the Godslayer Society, which could turn on the afterburner and quickly escape from the battlefield if the situation was not good.
The situation seemed to be unfavorable for Xia Fan. Although he had destroyed the enemy's main battleship, the fast and agile light battleships were even more annoying. They were like a swarm of mosquitoes, constantly biting and sucking Xia Fan's blood.
Of course, Xia Fan knew that the situation was getting worse, but he did not respond to Midas Feather's warning. Instead, he continued to operate the ship alone. One second ago, Xia Fan had appeared in the fire control center, and the next second, he was manually operating the torpedo tubes. He had completed all the operations that would have required an entire team to carry out.
"60% of the armor has been destroyed!" Jin Yu shouted again. Beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and it was clear that he was extremely nervous.
"Damn it! All the enemy ships have entered the best firing range. They are focusing on the engine room at the rear! "Qian Shuimo said from another control panel, looking at the enemy's position on the screen.
The engine room was equipped with a super-large fusion reactor. If it was destroyed, it would cause a series of powerful explosions. The enemy seemed to have found Xia Fan's weakness, and they were attacking the most dangerous part of the ship.
However, after hearing Qian Shuimo's words, Xia Fan's lips curled into a playful smile. This smile stunned everyone. No one knew what Xia Fan was thinking, but it seemed like he was not afraid of the enemy focusing fire from behind him.
Jin Yu's face turned pale. His chest rose and fell, and he began to breathe heavily.
Although the Star Destroyer Cannon was rapidly reducing the enemy's number of battleships, according to the simulation of the main control computer, if the battle continued at this rate, the dreadnought would be sunk, and the enemy would have more than twenty battleships left.
Jin Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and he felt a tearing pain in his chest. Based on the knowledge he had learned in the Spaceship Command School, it was not as simple as the situation being unfavorable. He was afraid that his side had fallen into a desperate situation!
The Star Destroyer Cannon was located in front of the dreadnought, and the enemy ships had circled to the rear, specifically targeting Xia Fan's most vulnerable spot. Although there were some mid-range defense cannons in the middle and rear of the dreadnought, these weapons were not effective.
The reason for this situation was because of the positioning of the dreadnought. Among the two major capital ships, the aircraft carrier was known as the all-rounder. Its attack and defense were top-notch.
The dreadnought, on the other hand, was an offensive specialist. The Star Destroyer Cannon could tear apart any opponent, but its defense was very weak. The worst thing was to be attacked by the enemy's small battleships. After all, once the enemy ships got close, no matter how powerful the main cannon of the dreadnought was, it would not be able to hit the enemy. Therefore, in most battles, the dreadnought would distance itself from the enemy to avoid close combat.
Suddenly …
Just when the situation was extremely unfavorable for Xia Fan, and everyone was extremely nervous.
Xia Fan suddenly issued an order that shocked everyone!
He pressed a button and released twelve high-energy ion bombs in one go!
Ion bombs were similar to space mines. After being thrown out of the bomb bay, they would float in space and wait for the mothership to issue an order to detonate them.
The usual tactic of using ion bombs was to throw the bomb in the path of the enemy ship and surprise the enemy. But Xia Fan, he threw the bomb right next to him!
This was too terrifying!
It was like a person who took a grenade but did not throw it away. Instead, he kept it in his arms.
Then, Xia Fan's next order made everyone almost vomit blood! He directly detonated the ion bombs next to him!
"All ion bombs, detonate!"
* Rumble! *
* Rumble! *
The twelve ion bombs that were thrown out of the dreadnought really detonated, just a few kilometers away from the mothership!
Xia Fan, this madman, he actually blew up the mothership and the enemy together!
This was definitely a suicidal move, a ruthless move that killed a thousand of the enemy and eight hundred of his own men!
Dazzling flames rose at the same time, and the command center began to shake violently. One by one, the display screens turned black. The shockwave caused everyone to lose their balance, and they had to hold on to the handrails in the cabin.
After a while, the explosion finally stopped. Jin Yu and the others quickly looked at the radar screen and saw that the annoying little ships that had been circling them like flies had all been reduced to wreckage floating in the sky!
The dreadnought that Xia Fan controlled was also severely damaged. Its energy shield had completely failed, and its armor had been completely destroyed. The defense index of the structural layer was only sixty-three percent …
It was terrible!
But the enemy's losses were even worse!
After this round of crazy self-detonation, more than a hundred wreckage were left in space. Only three destroyers with thicker armor barely managed to block Xia Fan's suicidal attack. The others, be it interceptors, electronic surveillance ships, frigates, or assault ships, were all blown to smithereens!
After all, the distance was too close, and the enemy did not even consider that Xia Fan would blow them up along with them. Any commander in his right mind would not do something like that.
* Swoosh! *
The three damaged destroyers began to wobble and leave the battlefield.
The commander on the ship was probably scared half to death by Xia Fan's lunatic. He had seen people who did not care about their lives, but he had never seen someone this reckless. If Xia Fan's calculations had been the slightest bit wrong, for example, he had set up two ion bombs, the result would have been mutual destruction. Without a strong spirit and precise calculations, he would not have done that.
* Boom! *
* Boom! *
* Boom! *
The most dangerous period was over. Now, Xia Fan could calmly use the few remaining medium-range cannons on the dreadnought to attack the three escaping destroyers. He only used three volleys of fire to completely destroy the last three destroyers.
In the blink of an eye, the last three enemy ships also turned into fireworks in space.
* Hurrah! *
After realizing that they had won the battle, Qian Shuimo and the others cheered wildly. All of them looked overjoyed and hugged each other in celebration. Even the captive An You had a look of joy on his face after surviving a calamity.
Not only did Xia Fan scare the enemy half to death, but his brothers were not much better off either. They were just not to the extent of wetting their pants.
Although the process was thrilling, the result was beyond imagination.
Xia Fan had used a dreadnought to destroy an entire enemy fleet.
More than a hundred warships of various sizes, but not a single one of them had managed to escape.
This was a standard annihilation.
It was a spectacular battle that could be written into textbooks.
* Phew! *
Xia Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down on the spacious captain's chair, feeling the veins near his temples throbbing.
Not bad. You might not be as fast as your father, but when it comes to commanding a battle, you're still comparable to Xia Fei, Mingzhu said in Xia Fan's mind.
Xia Fan shrugged helplessly. That little girl Mingzhu was probably used to seeing Heaven's Wings madmen fight. She wasn't the least bit surprised by Xia Fan's complete victory. She only gave him a "not bad" evaluation.
After resting for a few seconds, Xia Fan regained his composure. He had his usual smile on his face as he swept his gaze across everyone.
"We've finally vented some of our anger." Luo Jiuyi waved his fist and said excitedly, "We've killed all the enemies. We can go back with our chests puffed out. Not only did we find the Demonic Cavern, but we also destroyed an entire fleet of the Godslayer Society. If I tell my father about this, I'm sure he'll be happy. "
"Tch, it's all Xia Fan's credit. What does it have to do with a lazy cat like you?" Jin Feather teased.
Jin Yu ran to Xia Fan's side and put his arm around his shoulder. "Xia Fan, take a good rest. Leave the rest to me. I can't fight a war, but I promise I'll send everyone home safely." Jin Yu said.
Jin Feather meant that he could take over the rest of the voyage. There was no need for Xia Fan to worry about it. However, Xia Fan shook his head with a smile. "There's no rush. Wait a few more minutes. The reactor is recharging the main cannon."
"Recharging?" Jin Feather blinked in confusion. "There's no more enemies. Why are we still charging the Star Destroyer?"
Xia Fan raised his arm and pointed to the nameless yellow planet. "There are no more enemies in space, but there are still some on the planet."
