A battle of a higher level!
The planet Windchime lived on was already in ruins, smoke billowing everywhere as if it had just been plundered.
The Impaler had just flown out of the wormhole when the alarm system rang!
"Warning! Unknown warships are rapidly approaching."
Xia Fei hurriedly checked the radar system and saw two frigate warships rapidly approaching from the rear.
"Activate energy shields and all weapon systems! Lock onto the enemy!"
* Whoosh ~ *
The flames from the Impaler's engines rapidly spread, and the warship, propelled by the powerful thrust, turned around and charged toward the two frigates!
The radar system showed that these two frigates were Amarrian Colossi. They had decent firepower and defense, but they were lacking in agility and speed.
"Charge! Capture them and give them a good beating! "Xia Fei loudly ordered.
The other side was shocked to discover that Xia Fei was not only not running, but was actually speeding up. The two warships suddenly split to the left and right, attempting to put some distance between them and Xia Fei. The Impaler was not a warship commonly seen in the Alliance, and the other side had never seen it before, so they were rather suspicious.
"Trying to run? It's not that simple! Activate the warp disruptor and the Stasis Winding Beam! Hold them down! "
* Whoosh whoosh! *
The warp disruptor and the Stasis Winding Beam shot out at the same time, and the two Colossi rapidly slowed down. In just a few moments, they had become as slow as turtles.
This was the characteristic that the Impaler was proud of. It could simultaneously capture three targets and then use its bloody maw to bite them to death!
In battle, firepower was one thing, but whether or not it could capture the enemy was another.
No matter how powerful a warship was, if it did not have the ability to capture the enemy, then it would be pointless even if it had a super firepower system. The enemy only needed to make a sudden jump to escape the attack.
As a heavy-assault cruiser with battleship firepower, the Impaler not only had insane firepower, but it also had its own way of capturing warships. Unless the Impaler could never get close, anyone who entered the range of the warp disruptor and the Stasis Winding Beam would be dead!
It could be said that within the Impaler's combat radius, it was king!
Unfortunately, these two Colossi did not understand the characteristics of the Impaler. It was as if they had fallen into a web laid out by a poisonous spider, with no hope of escape.
* Bang! Bang! *
The two Colossi sensed danger and began to attack at the same time!
White light beams from the pulse laser cannons kept raining down on the Impaler's body, but these attacks were nothing more than a dying struggle, futile!
The Impaler was a second-generation Elite heavy-assault cruiser. Without the firepower of a battleship, it was impossible to break through its defenses! Moreover, these two small frigates were nothing more than tickles to the Impaler.
"Keep getting closer! Start firing as soon as we get within range, "Xia Fei commanded.
"Warning! Another unknown warship is trying to lock onto us! "
Xia Fei looked down at the radar and could not help but be shocked!
Battleships!
An Amarrian Armageddon-class battleship was rapidly approaching!
The Impaler being able to defeat a battleship two levels higher than itself was only a theoretical possibility. It had never been tested before.
Data and real bullets were two completely different concepts. After all, on the battlefield, one had to pay attention to adaptability, and it was not something that could be explained by a row of cold data.
"Alert again, a fleet of warships is approaching."
"There's more!" Phantom could not help but yell. Even farther away, another small fleet of warships appeared. They were made up of three Mittal Armageddon-class cruisers and two Caldari Armageddon-class battlecruisers. It was clear that they were in cahoots with these warships!
This meant that Xia Fei would be facing eight enemy warships at the same time! Moreover, there was an Armageddon-class battleship among them!
The Impaler was already having a hard time challenging that battleship, so what would happen if it were to face the attacks of eight warships at the same time?!
Frowning, Xia Fei sternly ordered, "Get closer and continue firing!"
* Whoosh ~ *
The Impaler instantly reached one of the Colossi, its seven enhanced mode Blitz Neutron Cannons firing at the same time!
* Bang! Bang! Bang! *
Then, something unexpected happened!
The Impaler only needed three volleys of fire to take down the Giant God Soldier class!
A dazzling fireball rose in space!
The range of the enhanced mode Blitz Neutron Cannons was very short, but its rate of fire was very fast!
It could fire a volley every 1.5 seconds, which meant that from approaching to destroying the Colossi frigate, it had taken less than five seconds!
"So powerful! To think that the Impaler's firepower would be this powerful! "Xia Fei could not help but yell." The Neutron Sprint truly lives up to its reputation as the number one firepower dealer in the Alliance! "
With this test, Xia Fei's confidence was boosted!
"Lock onto that Armageddon-class battleship! Activate the Warp Disruptor and Stasis Coil Beam. Hold it down for me! "Xia Fei ordered.
Phantom pursed his lips in disbelief. "You're not really thinking of using a battleship to test the cannons, are you? That's a standard weapon of mass destruction. Look at it! It's at least several dozen times larger than us! "
"You shut up! When the commander is commanding the battle, no one is allowed to voice their opinions! "Xia Fei rudely retorted.
Phantom felt very wronged, but he did not retort. Interfering with the commander's commands had always been a great taboo. On the battlefield, the only thing a soldier could do was obey! Even if the commander told you to climb a mountain of blades, you should still charge forward without hesitation!
"Close in on the second Colossi! Everyone, fire! Fire! "
* Bang! Bang! Bang! *
After three thunderous volleys, the night sky once more turned bright!
Xia Fei was not surprised. He knew very well that those two frigates were just appetizers. This extraordinary battleship before him was his true challenge!
The Impaler, which was only the size of a cruiser, was on the verge of clashing with the Armageddon-class battleship with its thick armor and insane firepower!
The pulse laser cannons had a much longer range than the Impaler's Blitz Neutron Cannon, so before Xia Fei could get close, the other side fired a volley!
* Rumble! *
The sound of the large pulse laser cannons firing was thunderous, like a thunderclap!
This volley landed right on the Impaler's waist, and the inside of the ship instantly shook!
"What powerful firepower! Immediately report the damage! "Xia Fei did not wait for the ship to stabilize before he ordered.
"Thirty-one percent of the energy shields are damaged, but the armor systems are intact."
"Excellent!" Xia Fei could not contain his joy. The heavy-assault cruiser not only had the firepower of a battleship, but its defense was as well!
Facing the volley of a battleship's cannons, it had only lost thirty-one percent of its energy shields. This sort of outstanding defense was simply unbelievable!
"Detected that the enemy is rapidly accumulating energy. Estimated time of attack in 8.7 seconds!"
Xia Fei firmly nodded. "Though the battleship's firepower is strong, its firing rate is slow. It needs to gather energy again after each volley. This is our chance!
"Activate passive defense. Prepare for another volley. Charge! Charge! Charge! Get to its side in one go! Activate the energy-shield boosters. Fully operational! "
* Bang! *
Sure enough, the moment Xia Fei finished speaking, he received another volley from the Armageddon-class battleship. The inside of the ship shook violently, and all the objects that were not secured to the ship, such as water bottles and sofas, were sent flying!
"Checking damage! Preheat the overclocking chip! Prepare for overclocking! "
Because of the Impaler's small size, the accuracy of the large cannons was not very high. After all, the larger the caliber of the cannon, the worse the accuracy. Besides, the pulse laser cannons of the battleship class had been tuned to attack large warships.
The Impaler's energy shield did not break after two volleys of fire. Instead, it nimbly made its way to the Armageddon-class battleship.
"Attack! Give it a good beating! Begin overclocking! Fully operational! "
After overclocking, the enhanced mode neutron cannon's firing speed reached a shocking 0.9 seconds!
A strange scene appeared on the Starry Sky Cannon. A small heavy-assault cruiser was grabbing onto a large battleship and beating it!
This was like a child punching a powerful adult. Anyone who saw this scene would be shocked, for it was simply too bizarre!
The seven neutron cannons constantly spat out dazzling tongues of fire, and the intensity of the firepower was enough to make one's jaw drop! Every second, a dozen or so shells would land on the battleship. It was like setting off firecrackers on the roof of a car, never stopping.
In contrast, that cumbersome Armageddon-class battleship needed a dozen or so seconds to prepare every time it opened fire. This was like a fight between a short, speed-type boxer and a large, burly heavyweight. Logically speaking, the heavyweight should have the upper hand, but in reality, the short, speed-type boxer had the upper hand, his fists raining down like a torrential downpour.
"As long as it's within range, it's my territory! Xia Fei was extremely excited as he punched the control panel with all his might as he commanded.
"Alert! Three minutes until it's within range of the enemy fleet! "
Xia Fei coldly harrumphed. "Three minutes is more than enough!"
The neutron cannon had a very serious flaw, and that was its range. However, once a warship equipped with a neutron cannon got close, it would be a disaster for any warship! This was because its firepower was simply too high!
The Impaler nimbly circled around the Armageddon-class battleship, using its speed to evade the enemy's attacks.
The large laser cannons had powerful firepower, but their accuracy was extremely poor when used against targets that were too close to them. After three rounds, they could not even break through the Impaler's shield. Of course, the energy-shield boosters also played a crucial role in this.
The Armageddon-class battleship was gradually unable to hold on, flames erupting from its body. Through the porthole, one could even see the crew frantically fleeing.
"Success! The Impaler's strength is beyond imagination! Reality has proven that not only is it on par with the battleship in terms of numbers, it's also far superior in actual combat! Heavens! A cruiser has taken out a battleship! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it! "Phantom excitedly pulled at his hair with both hands.
