Although the GAL fleet had the absolute majority in terms of numbers, the Sea Mist fleet was naturally superior in terms of quality. As a command ship, Iona's defense was not even breached by the concentrated fire of three GAL battleships, let alone these specialized cruisers and battleships.
For a time, artillery fire flew everywhere. Beams of light crisscrossed across the starry sky and hit the GAL battleships one after another. The carrier-based aircrafts of the Iron Cavalry flew between the fleets, turning the GAL landing ships that intended to charge into the Sea Mist fleet to engage in melee combat into fireworks.
The Sea Mist fleet, which had always been successful in the past, had finally met their match. Although the UNSC battleships had enough attack power, they had low HP and fragile skin. They had not even invented a shield after so many years. Therefore, when the GAL dealt with the UNSC fleet, they basically first fired a volley of plasma cannons, then directly rushed in to release the landing ships. Since the UNSC battleships did not have a shield, they basically did not even have the chance to struggle before they were pinned to the ground by the GAL.
However, the external barrier of the Sea Mist fleet alone had two layers of shields and Klein's force field, so it was basically impossible to break through. Moreover, unlike human battleships, the Sea Mist battleships did not need corridors, passages, or cabins at all. Almost every place except the command room was filled with all kinds of weapons, ammunition, equipment, and drones.
This also meant that even if the GAL landing ships managed to stick to the outside of the Sea Mist battleships, they would probably not even be able to make a path ….
Under the suppression of the Sea Mist fleet, the GAL began to lose ground. However, Fangzheng did not let his guard down because of this. The reason was simple – there was still a general in the opponent's camp.
In the beginning, the Scout battleships did not take the Sea Mist fleet seriously at all. They obviously sped up and flew in the direction of the research station. It was not until Nesin's Memory appeared that the Missionary seemed to feel a little threatened. Fangzheng saw the opponent's battleship slowly turn around and aim in the direction of Nesin's Memory.
The next moment, dozens of orange-red beams of light instantly burst out and flew straight through the Sea Mist fleet, hitting several large battleships, including Nesin's Memory.
"Holy Light, grant me strength!"
But at the same time, along with a soft bellow, Fangzheng saw the Vancouver-class aircraft carrier, Splendor, erupt with a dazzling brilliance. Shortly after, dozens of Steel Cavalry aircrafts whizzed through the fleet. Wherever they passed, a gigantic white shield enveloped the warships. Shortly after, energy beams erupted from the Pioneer warships and struck the warships that were enveloped by the shields.
He had to admit that the Scout's attack damage was still a notch higher. The shields only lasted for eight seconds before they rapidly dissipated. Following that, the Sea Fog Battleship's own shield and Klein's force field also began to weaken rapidly. Fortunately, the Sea Fog fleet managed to block this attack. However, most of the warships' shields were broken, and some of the destroyers that were accidentally grazed had their armor pierced, causing damage to their structures.
However, at this moment, another timid voice sounded.
"Unicorns... will do their best!"
Along with the Unicorn's words, the carrier-based aircrafts in NTD mode once again passed through the fleet. Shortly after, the heavily damaged Sea Fog Battleships emitted a gentle green light, and the damage on their hulls was rapidly repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Fangzheng was not surprised. Although the technology of the Pioneer Warships was indeed powerful, the Sea Fog AI on his side was not as simple as simply controlling the core of the warships. Each mental model had quite a unique skill, such as Glory's shield and Unicorns' healing.
I can't beat you in science, but are you afraid of me in both science and magic?!
However, just because Fangzheng could accept it did not mean that others could.
"You actually, actually dare to injure this king!!"
Y'lisabet's exasperated voice echoed in the Sea Fog network. Her Nesin's Memory was the largest, and she was the enemy's main target, so she naturally suffered more damage. Although Y'lisabet's hull did not suffer too much damage thanks to the Klein force field of the Sea Fog warships and the shield of Celeste, it seemed that Y'lisabet's mental model was obviously a proud character. She was quite dissatisfied with being hit in the face by the enemy.
"Kneel in front of the Queen!"
As Y'lisabet spoke, the originally closed launch port at the front of Nesin's Memory slowly opened. A huge dark blue prism crystal emerged from it. At the same time, the warships in front of Y'lisabet quickly dodged to the sides.
The prism crystal gradually glowed, and as if resonating, the top of the unfolded petals also flashed with a blue light. The blue light beams emitted from the prism crystal and the top of the five huge petals gathered at the launch port in front of the prism crystal. The next moment, they turned into an unparalleled torrent of energy that rushed towards the Pioneer Warship.
"What's that?"
The Missionary, who was piloting the warship, was shocked when he saw the sudden torrent of energy, but he did not think too much of it. According to the data he obtained, although the light beam released by the warship was powerful, it was still much weaker than the Pioneer Warship.
The Missionary had absolute confidence in the technology of the Pioneer Warship. He was not even afraid of the Pioneer Warship, so why would he be afraid of a civilization that could not even reach level 2 technology?
Of course, the Missionary would not admit that he was really shocked when he saw the Nesin's Memory. According to the memories of the Pioneer Warship, he could not think of any civilization in the Galaxy that was like this … Could it be that the humans were like their ancestors and had unearthed a gift from the Pioneer Warship?
But this kind of energy was very strange. It did not belong to any known energy. What was it?
The Missionary was a little puzzled, but he did not care. He was already preparing to counterattack. When the wave of attack ended, he would immediately activate all the attack systems of the Legacy Advent and completely destroy the fleet. He would show them the true power of the Pioneer Warships!
* Beep! *
However, at this moment, the Missionary suddenly heard an alarm ringing in the battleship. He quickly regained his senses and looked forward. The next moment, the Missionary's eyes widened in shock because on the screen in front of him, the power of the light beam was increasing exponentially!
If its first attack was unable to cause any damage to the Legacy Advent, then its current power was almost enough to break through the Legacy Advent's shield!
What kind of joke was this? What kind of power was this?!
The Missionary was also shocked to see this. He had never seen such an attack mode that could multiply the power of the beam. He was caught off guard. But since the Missionary was determined to destroy the human race, he naturally had some tricks up his sleeves.
"Fill the energy field with all your energy. I'm retreating!"
Shortly after, under the Missionary's command and the cover of the GAL warships, a huge energy wall suddenly appeared around the Legacy Advent to block the attack of Nesin's Memory. The hull of the warship slowly moved to the side in an attempt to escape the attack of Nesin's Memory.
The power of Nesin's Memory's attack was getting stronger. Before the Legacy Advent could completely evade the attack, the azure light beam suddenly broke through the defense of the Legacy Advent and whizzed past its hull. Sparks erupted from the hull of the Legacy Advent. The part that was grazed by the light beam instantly disintegrated and cracked, leaving a small hole in its hull.
"Hmph!"
Looking at the Mantle Advent evading her attack, Y'lisabet let out a snort in displeasure and shut down the prism beam. After all, this thing couldn't shoot while moving, or else she would have smashed the Mantle Advent with her 'whip'.
"Not bad, not bad."
In contrast to Y'lisabet's dissatisfaction, Fangzheng was very satisfied. According to the introduction in the shop, the three Arks of the Celestials each had different functions. Otaris' Pride specialized in space warfare, Adon's Spear was mainly aimed at ground attacks and ground deployments, and Nesin's Memory was specifically used to deal with "door-knocking".
That's right, it was like a "battering ram" used to break through the gates of a fortress.
The attack principle of Nesin's Memory was no different from that of the Void Radiance Warship. They both bombarded the enemy with an energy beam generated by the core of the prism, and the power of the beam would double in a short period of time. This meant that if given enough time, Nesin's Memory could even blow up a planet with one shot.
Because this kind of beam could not be shot while moving, and the "charging" time was too long, it was not suitable for aerial combat. However, it was most suitable for attacking large warships and air fortresses that moved slowly and had solid defenses.
If the Missionary had not acted decisively and ordered the Legacy Advent to take evasive action in time, Y'lisabet's shot would have been enough to send him home to get married.
But now … it was almost the same.
Very well, it was time for him to act.
Seeing that the enemy's flagship had stopped moving, Fangzheng knew that it was time for him to act. He did not expect Y'lisabet to be able to instantly kill the Pioneer's flagship, but as long as she could pin it down, he would have a chance to act. Sure enough, after realizing that the enemy's attack was enough to destroy his warship, the Missionary immediately became much more cautious. He was no longer in a hurry to rush to the space station.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fangzheng quickly approached the research station with Iona, then teleported to the Chief Petty Officer's side.
The Chief Petty Officer seemed to be talking to a few people. Fangzheng's sudden appearance also surprised many people. Several soldiers immediately raised their guns and aimed at Fangzheng. However, Fangzheng turned a blind eye to them. He just glanced around, then looked at the Chief Petty Officer.
"How is it? Has the evacuation begun? "
"The evacuation is in progress."
The Chief Petty Officer nodded in response to Fangzheng's question. He then looked ahead.
"This is the Reassembly Machine."
"That's it?"
Fangzheng also looked forward. Soon, he saw a pure white pillar-shaped object not far in front of him. Judging from its appearance and the patterns on it, it was obviously a creation of the Pioneer.
"Wait, you're the one who wants to take it away?"
At that moment, an old man in a researcher's uniform walked over and looked at Fangzheng.
"You can't do that. We've spent a lot of time …"
"I'm not here to discuss this with you, madam."
As he spoke, Fangzheng walked over and knocked on the reassembly machine.
"I'm just informing you of my decision. Hmm … Indeed, it's not a good idea to take it away directly. How about this, in order to commend you, I've decided to give you a banner and 500 dollars. What do you think?"
"Huh?"
Everyone was taken aback when they heard Fangzheng's answer. But before they could say anything, Fangzheng reached out and placed his hand on the Reassembly Machine.
"That's it. Goodbye, everyone …. Chief Petty Officer, we'll contact each other if there's anything else."
Before his voice died away, Fangzheng and the Reassembly Machine disappeared in front of everyone with a flash of light.
All that was left on the ground was a red pennant and … .500 yuan.
