Space pirates not only consisted of humans but also other races. Relying on the large-scale use of implants, space pirates' combat power was rather strong. The combat power of space pirates' battleships was usually above the Federation's battleships of the same level. They also had more combat experience and didn't follow common sense. They would often use special tactics to catch the Federation's fleet off guard.
After setting the coordinates of the third exchange, Lan Xuan ordered, "Activate stealth mode and turn on the radar to the maximum. Report any situation immediately. A layer of dim light appeared on the surface of the Wings of the Trayastrimsa Heaven battleship. In the next moment, the surrounding light seemed to be swallowed by it as the battleship silently disappeared into the universe.
The radar was fully activated and scanned the surroundings in a large area. Everyone became nervous. They had entered an unsafe Star Sector and the battle could start at any time.
If they could complete the team's mission and gain something at the same time, that would be the best thing.
The speed of the battleship was very fast. According to Lan Xuanyu's calculations, they would reach their destination in at most 24 hours. Four hours passed and they didn't encounter any obstacles. The originally nervous crowd gradually calmed down. Even in an unsafe Star Domain, encountering an enemy did not seem to be an easy task. Just as everyone was gradually relaxing, Ding Zhuohan, who was in charge of the radar detection, suddenly said, "We've discovered five unidentified flying objects in our 11 o 'clock direction.
Lan Xuanyu was energized. "Be careful to hide." In space, 2,000 kilometers was a very short distance. They would be able to get close in a few minutes. Lan Xuanyu paused for a moment before saying, "Prepare the weapon system and defense system. Keep the battleship quiet. Everyone listen to his orders and immediately carry out a series of operations. The battleship's main thruster slowly extinguished, and only four much weaker auxiliary thrusters were used. The energy waves produced by this would be smaller and less easily discovered by the enemy. The Wings of the Trayastrimsa Heaven battleship identified the direction of the five unidentified flying objects and slowly flew towards the path that they had to pass through.
As the distance shortened, the image detected by the radar became clearer. An image was projected on the porthole's big screen.
Five pirate battleships.
That's right, it's definitely a pirate warship. The pitch-black warship has a pattern of white skulls on it, and the eye of each skull has a purple flame pattern, as if it's burning.
Bai Xiu's voice sounded. "The Purple Flame Pirates are a small pirate group. They don't have more than 15 warships. Their flagship is a meteor-class assault warship. The rest are meteor-class reconnaissance warships. We should have run into their reconnaissance team. The Purple Flame Pirates were extremely vicious and had killed many people.
This was the information obtained from the other pirate group's logo. The pirate database was also given by the Tangmen, and these things could not be measured with money.
Boss, do we fight or not? "Qian Lei excitedly turned to look at Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Prepare for battle."
The meteor-level attack spaceship was much better than the meteorite-level reconnaissance spaceship. Furthermore, they had a high-tech spaceship from the Tangmen. Therefore, although it was one against five, they should have an absolute advantage.
Ding Zhuohan immediately reported, "Other than these five scout ships, no other pirate warships have been found within a range of 5,000 kilometers."
"Roger that. Listen to my orders later. I'll control the main controller. Prepare the weapon system. Charge the main cannon. Ding Zhuohan, report the enemy's distance. "541 kilometers. They'll enter the main cannon's range in about a minute." Ding Zhuohan's voice was trembling. This was his first real interstellar battle.
Battle.
Other than Lan Xuanyu's group of seven, it was the first time for everyone else to participate in an interstellar battle.
Lan Xuanyu ordered, "Lock the main cannon onto the enemy's central warship. Prepare the main thrusters.
The entire control room instantly became silent. Everyone was ready and waiting for Lan Xuanyu's orders.
Lan Xuanyu had already put on his helmet. All sorts of data gathered in his mind. His hands were on both sides of the control panel, ready to respond at any time.
The enemy has entered the range. " Ding Zhuohan's voice sounded. Lan Xuanyu naturally saw it from the mainframe's data, but he was not in a hurry to give the order to attack. They had not yet been discovered by the enemy while they were in stealth and silence. This was definitely a good opportunity for them. Destroying the pirate warships was not their goal. Other than wasting ammunition and punishing evil, destroying the enemy's warships would not bring them any practical benefits. Therefore, what he wanted was not just to destroy the enemy.
The distance was getting closer and closer. Any stealth warship within a certain range would be discovered by the enemy's radar. The Tangmen warship's stealth was already quite good.
"Ignite the engines. Charge at full speed. Fire the main cannon!" Lan Xuanyu shouted, instantly giving the order.
The tail of the Wing Trayastrimsa warship suddenly shot out a dazzling orange flame. The warship that was originally moving slowly suddenly accelerated. At the same time, it instantly deactivated its stealth mode. The main cannon at the front flashed, and a huge beam of light cut through the sky, heading straight for the five enemy warships in the distance.
The sudden appearance of the Wing Trayastrimsa warship was like a monster that suddenly appeared in the universe. The five pirate warships on the opposite side immediately discovered them.
The white protective shields on the five pirate warships glowed at the same time. Then, they displayed the actual combat ability of the pirate warships.
The five warships instantly scattered. The pirate warship that was targeted by the main cannon had nowhere to hide. It was brazenly hit, and the protective shield was instantly shattered by more than half. The entire battleship was blown away by the explosion, flying backwards like a toy being thrown out. "Fire at full power. Prepare the capture rounds."
Lan Xuanyu controlled the Wing Trayastrimsa warship to accelerate at full speed, rushing straight for the enemy warships. At the same time, the protective shield on the Wing Trayastrimsa warship activated. The yellow protective shield was clearly much thicker than the enemy's. However, to Lan Xuanyu's surprise, the warships of the Purple Flame Pirates did not retaliate. Instead, they turned around and fled in five different directions. They had no intention of exchanging fire with them.
Was it certain that a scout warship would not be able to defeat an attack warship? It depended on the quality of the warship, the strength of the attack, and the control ability of the warship commander.
These pirate warships had no intention of tangling with them. This was because they knew very well that the enemy should also be pirate warships. Once the battle started, even if they won in the end by relying on their advantage in numbers, it was very likely that they would lose several warships. This was definitely not the fighting style of pirates. They would never fight to the death with their opponents. Instead, they would pick on the weak. They seemed to have long been used to this kind of situation where they were ambushed. They did not stop at all and immediately fled. It was clear that not all pirate warships could escape. However, this way, it would be extremely difficult for Lan Xuanyu and the others to completely wipe out these pirate warships.
The meteor-class warship charging at full speed was extremely fast. The advanced technology of the Tangmen allowed its speed to be at least 30% faster than the standard warships of the Federation. This made it even more like a pirate warship.
