Ye Chong could see the unique metallic luster of the black gold on the Black Cove warship. Compared to the slender and elegant warships of the MPA, the Black Cove warships were more compact and sturdy, with thick cannons, densely packed cabin doors, and spikes on the body of the ship, making it look like a porcupine. Ye Chong guessed that it could still fight in close range.
The two Black Cove warships were surprised, as they noticed the fleet suddenly accelerating. Did they notice me? Impossible, civilian ships should not have the ability to notice their own warships.
Amidst the tidal wave of starships, the Coxcomb's gigantic yet leisurely appearance was unconventional and eye-catching.
The two Black Cove warships immediately noticed this strange looking starship. In their eyes, the Zika class spaceship was just a paper tiger. It looked impressive but was useless. Civilian ships were fundamentally different from warships. The other five warships were obviously very confident of the two warships, as they did not even look at them and flew away.
The distance between the two warships was getting closer. Ye Chong sighed in relief as he saw the other five warships leaving. One against two was completely different from one against seven.
On the holographic screen, the distance between the two warships was getting smaller.
Ye Chong summoned Han Jia. There was no time to consider the issue of exposure at this point. Survival would be the best outcome. Ye Chong did not enter Han Jia's cockpit, as he knew that Han Jia could only watch from the beginning as it did not have the ability to fight at long range.
Strike first, Ye Chong did not have the concept of modesty in his mind. Ye Chong believed that Shang, who was even worse than him, would not have such a good habit.
Swoosh! The shields in front of all 52 electromagnetic cannons opened up at the same time, and the dark cannons with the same luster as the enemy warships extended out. The sudden change of Coxcomb startled everyone in the enemy warship.
The electromagnetic cannons quickly entered into charging mode. Due to the orientation, there were a total of 33 electromagnetic cannons that could shoot at the two starships. The charging light was so bright in the dark, like the stars in the sky, that no one could ignore. Looking from afar, the thirty-two spots of starlight formed the silhouette of a small fish.
But what he saw on the holographic screen was a different scene. Just when everyone was stunned by the sudden appearance of the densely packed cannons and barrels, the pale blue light that flowed out of the cannons made everyone's heads buzz!
Fortunately, the captains of both warships reacted quickly. Almost at the same time, they ordered at the top of their lungs, "Prepare for battle! All mechs, take to the air! " The two warships opened their hatches abruptly, and Black Cove mechs flew out of their hives one after another like hornets. Black Cove's training was evident. Even in such a rushed situation, the entire ascension process was still swift and smooth. At the same time, the cannons on the two warships lit up.
In an instant, the holographic screen was almost entirely occupied by countless red dots.
Large-scale energy weapons like the electromagnetic cannon required a process of accumulating energy. Otherwise, the sudden release of a large amount of energy would tear the battleship to pieces.
While the electromagnetic cannon was charging, more than a hundred Beauty's Messengers were fired. Both Ye Chong and Shang knew that these 100 Beauty's Letters could be the key to this battle. The effectiveness of the Beauty's Secretion, which had not been tested in real battles, would directly affect the outcome of today's battle. Shang's round of firing had almost used up half of the Beauty's Secretion's storage.
The two warships were already making evasive maneuvers. Ye Chong could not believe that a warship could make such agile evasive maneuvers, but it was happening right in front of his eyes. Compared to the two Black Cove starships, Coxcomb was like a clumsy pig, bloated and slow. Ye Chong had made up his mind that if he managed to escape this time, he would thoroughly reform Coxcomb. Coxcomb was now a living target. Ye Chong could only hope that Shang could destroy the enemy before the warship hit Coxcomb.
Besides, considering that the other 5 warships of the enemy would definitely return once they received the request for help, Ye Chong had to make a warp jump before the other 5 warships arrived and escape. The acceleration process before the warp jump was the most dangerous period, as any interference could lead to the most serious consequences. A slight difference could lead to a huge difference. Falling into an unfamiliar space, or warping out of the 5 major galaxies, was no different from death.
The blue glow of the electromagnetic cannon grew brighter and brighter. The electromagnetic cannon was finally fired! 33 pale blue beams pierced through the void. Even though the evasive maneuvers of the two warships were deceiving, it was still impossible for Shang, who was known as the strongest sniper mech pilot, to dodge all the attacks.
This was the first time Ye Chong saw an electromagnetic cannon being fired. The blue beam was like a pale blue bridge between Coxcomb and the enemy warship.
The easiest way for the energy beam to penetrate a warship's armor was not that scary. Unlike the average starship, all warships were equipped with comprehensive emergency repair measures. The scariest thing would be the energy beam hitting the energy cells or the charging cannons, which would cause an explosion. These were the most likely to cause casualties and damage to the warship's structure.
Shang's first wave of attack was directed at one of the warships, concentrating all the energy to form a local attack, which was the best way to defeat the strong.
It was a fruitful battle! Under such concentrated firepower, the warship that was hit was almost completely destroyed. The MPA's warship only had about 20 electromagnetic cannons, but Shang's volley of electromagnetic cannons this time was as many as 32. Besides, the cannons were made of black gold, which greatly increased the power of the electromagnetic cannons. If it was a typical MPA warship's electromagnetic cannon, the Black Cove's warship could at least withstand two or three volleys of such concentrated firepower!
The rapid and continuous explosions were probably due to the energy cells. From the moment the warship was hit, the explosions did not stop. Ye Chong did not know if there was even a part of the warship that was intact. With such a terrifying continuous explosion, the people in the warship would not even be left with ashes. There was no chance of survival.
It was the first time Ye Chong saw a battle between warships. In an instant, life and death were decided. Since the warship was huge, it could not be as agile as a mech. Hence, the first round of gunfire usually determined the life and death of both parties.
Ye Chong quickly flipped into Han Jia's cockpit. No matter how strong he was, it was useless in this situation.
Coxcomb flipped quickly to the side. On the other side, the 19 electromagnetic cannons were almost done charging.
Ye Chong's eyes lit up, the blinding light almost burning his eyes. Boom! The shockwave from the violent explosion knocked Han Jia off its feet. Ye Chong felt like he was riding on a cloud. Bam! Han Jia crashed into the wall. Fortunately, there was a hydraulic protection system, or Ye Chong would have been a meat pie.
Coxcomb was hit! Fortunately, Coxcomb was flipping to the side. A few thick laser beams barely grazed the Coxcomb's body and hit the fleet behind it.
Ye Chong finally understood how insignificant an individual's strength was in such a large-scale battle. No matter how strong one was, it was impossible to guarantee that he would be the last survivor in a battle like this.
Coxcomb's armor was far weaker than the opponent's warship. Fortunately, the opponent's cannons were not as powerful as Coxcomb's electromagnetic cannons. Otherwise, Ye Chong suspected that Coxcomb would have been destroyed by that blast.
The actual situation was not far from Ye Chong's expectation. Coxcomb's movements were too slow. Even though Shang had tried his best to dodge, he was still hit by most of the energy beams. The energy beams fired by Black Cove's warships were dazzling yellow-white. Coxcomb's armor was like a piece of paper in front of the energy beams, as it was penetrated in seven or eight places. One of the energy beams hit an electromagnetic cannon that was accumulating energy and caused an explosion. Han Jia was also affected by the explosion.
The fleet behind Coxcomb suffered the same fate. A single energy beam could easily penetrate two or three starships. The starships behind Ye Chong were densely packed, so the energy beams did not miss their target.
The violent explosion lit up the entire space! The fleet that was orderly a moment ago was thrown into chaos. If they had the courage to resist the attack of the pirates, they could not muster up any courage after being bombarded by the warship. They could only stare in despair. The more intelligent captains accelerated, hoping to leave the battlefield as soon as possible. The scene was already a mess. The few starships at the front had already started their warp jumps.
The scene was chaotic. Starships of all shapes and sizes were squeezed together. Ye Chong could no longer see the starship that Grandpa Qian was on. In fact, he could only catch a glimpse of it. Let's hope they were lucky!
Coxcomb was not a real warship. Under the attack of the enemy, it became a mess in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, the main structure of Coxcomb was not damaged. It was still under Shang's control.
"Haha, this warship is as slow as a tortoise. One more round of attack and it'll definitely be destroyed. If we knew it was this strong, we wouldn't have to ask for reinforcements. "A cannoneer of the only surviving warship in Black Cove said proudly.
Another cannoneer who was calmer was also puzzled. "This warship is weird. It's so slow, and the armor is so weak. Tsk tsk, but the firepower is amazing. Just now, Ship Number 7 was f * cking destroyed. It's terrifying. Even the MPA's electromagnetic cannon is not as powerful. "
"Sigh, Ship Number 7 is really pitiful. But luckily it's not our ship, or else we would have played with it. You say, I really think that the energy beam looked like the MPA's electromagnetic cannon. "
"It's a little similar, but it's much more powerful than their electromagnetic cannons," another gunner who looked more experienced added.
"Which force does this warship belong to? Could it be that their technology is more advanced than the MPA? "
"Who knows? In this world, there are many crouching tigers and hidden dragons."
In fact, the Coxcomb was being ravaged by the enemy. The enemy was obviously more experienced than Shang in warship control. Seeing that the Coxcomb was huge and slow, they decided to use wave after wave of suppressive fire to ensure that the Coxcomb's firepower would continue to be suppressed.
But the captain of the warship must have never thought that this would be the stupidest order he had ever given in his life. If he had ordered all the cannons to fire at the same time, the Coxcomb would have been blown into pieces. Whether Ye Chong and Shang could survive, it was all up to luck.
Both sides were helpless against each other's firepower.
Even though the Coxcomb was constantly hit by the laser beams, the Coxcomb had finally completed its roll.
When the other 19 electromagnetic cannons appeared in front of everyone, the glow of the charging energy scared the wits out of everyone on the warship!
"Evade!" The captain was almost roaring. His voice was trembling, and there was a look of despair in his eyes.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The 19 blue beams hit the warship! It was undeniable that they were really unlucky. One of the electromagnetic beams hit their energy cells in the warehouse.
It was the most dazzling explosion in the entire battlefield! Even the sturdiness of the black gold armor seemed weak in the face of such an explosion. In an instant, the battleship exploded into pieces, turning into countless fragments that flew into every corner of the universe.
A beautiful and dazzling flower!
Ye Chong heaved a sigh of relief. In a battle like this where he could not intervene, it was undoubtedly a test of his willpower. Ye Chong did not like the feeling of not being able to control his own fate.
"Ye, prepare to attack!" Shang's voice was no longer the usual cheerful one, it was filled with a murderous intent.
Did Shang act like this before he met me? The thought came to Ye Chong's mind.
"Alright!" Ye Chong took a deep breath, and immediately entered a calm fighting state. Perhaps it was because he had been in more battles recently, Ye Chong found that he could enter this state very quickly. If it was before, Ye Chong would have to go through a series of breathing adjustments.
In truth, this warship battle had left a deep impression on Ye Chong. It was either live or die. Only now did he realize how ridiculous his fear of not having enough energy cells had been. Battles between warships were usually decided in one or two volleys. Excess energy was a burden, and could easily cause an explosion. However, it seemed that Black Cove also had no experience in warship battles, and were still trying to figure it out. It was because of their lack of experience that Ye Chong and Shang had a chance of survival.
The battle was finally back to mech battles that he was most familiar with, and he felt invigorated.
The holographic screen was filled with more than a hundred red dots, it was a terrifying sight. If this had happened in the past, Ye Chong would have run for his life in this situation. However, it was different now. With Coxcomb and Shang, Ye Chong was sure that he could see the light of victory.
Ye Chong suddenly realized that a warship still had many advantages over a mech.
Han Jia disappeared into space without a sound. Ye Chong did not need Shang to open the hatch. Coxcomb was already full of holes, and Ye Chong flew out from one of the holes. Many parts of Coxcomb had been drained of air, becoming a vacuum.
As a full-skeleton mech, Han Jia's speed and stealth had always been its trump card.
The destruction of the two warships made all the Black Cove mechs jealous. With their warships destroyed, there was no way out for them. It was only when there was no way out that people could muster their courage.
Every mech sped up, charging towards the bulky warship with a murderous aura. They were experienced in combat, and knew that the enemy warship's armor was weak, and could not stop their weapons. As long as they could get close to the enemy warship, victory would not be far off. Electromagnetic cannons were powerful, but they were not much of a threat to mechs.
The warship in front of him was still as indifferent as ever, and its tattered hull gave off an unfathomable aura at this moment.
Could it be that there were no mech pilots in such a huge warship?
Just as they were pondering, they suddenly felt as if something small had bumped into them.
"Probably the debris from the explosion," one of the Black Cove mech pilots thought, since there was nothing unusual on the holographic screen!
"Be careful, switch to optical mode!" A deep male voice came from the internal channel in his helmet. He couldn't help but be surprised, wasn't this Lady Bramble's voice?
Ambush? His heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to switch to optical mode, the mech's alarm began to blare.
The alarm did not stop. He did not know that on his mech's outer shell, a pool of dark purple liquid was quickly spreading across the mech's surface.
Wherever the strange dark purple liquid passed through, the Cosmic Flare mech's shiny black outer shell quickly softened like a pile of mud. This was Mortis Water, Ye Chong's latest research result. Even the black gold alloy could not stop the black gold from corroding.
Hiss! Hiss! The corroded armor could no longer withstand the air pressure inside the cockpit. In the blink of an eye, the mech's surface was already rotten like mud, with holes like a beehive. Large amounts of air leaked out from the holes. The holes were also enlarged by the air flow, further increasing the rate of air leakage.
The mech pilot suddenly found it hard to breathe. Then, he saw the huge hole. His eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't figure out how and when these holes appeared.
Until the moment of his death, he maintained this expression.
