Tesla's fleet, which was advancing at full speed, soon entered the firing range. After three more rounds of bombardment, Tesla's fleet was reduced to less than ten percent.
"Fire all at once! I'm going to smash the enemy's flagship! "Tesla roared.
"Sir, I'm afraid we don't have the ability to damage the enemy's flagship …" The adjutant had a bitter look on his face. He had no way of determining the outcome of this battle, but he knew that his fleet was doomed!
Currently, less than ten percent of the fleet's spaceships were left. Although the remaining ones were all heavy cruisers with impressive combat power, Tesla's adjutant was still pessimistic when faced with the enemy's super warship.
"What's that?! A giant transport ship? " Through the video sent back by the scout ship, Tesla finally saw the silver-white hull of the Dawn.
It was not that Tesla had never seen a spaceship that was more than a thousand kilometers long, but they were all transport ships that were extremely slow and cumbersome, almost like moving targets.
However, the ship in front of him was obviously a warship. From its ferocious cannons, it could be seen that this fellow was the culprit behind the heavy losses of his fleet!
"How is this possible?! How can a warship be so big and so agile?! "Tesla was completely dumbfounded, because everything in front of him was clearly contrary to his understanding.
Although the Dawn's agility was far from that of a scout ship, or even that of a heavy cruiser, it was still much better than a transport ship. Moreover, its acceleration and braking ability were very strong, and it was only slightly slow in turning.
If the problem of maneuverability was solved, and the warship would not become a target for others, then the warship would have more main cannons, more firepower, more energy reserves, and more powerful shields. With all these, the warship would almost be invincible!
"Let's change the target. We can't possibly sink this ship …" Tesla quickly made a judgment. Judging from the size of this ship, if it was a warship, then even if his fleet was at its peak, they would at most be able to injure it. Now that his fleet was almost completely damaged, they might not even be able to break the enemy's shield.
Therefore, Tesla made a prompt decision at this time. He ordered the fleet to change the target of the salvo from the Dawn to the other Grey-horse-class drone carriers.
"Yes! Sir! " At this time, Tesla's crew members were also determined to fight to the death. Every one of them had a common hatred for the enemy. They gritted their teeth so hard that they almost broke their teeth. They hated the fleet in front of them to the bone.
Now, they had finally rushed into the firing range. If they could not sink a few of the opponent's warships, they would not be satisfied even if they died!
At the same time, Aurelia also received a report from Lacus. "Sister, the Brown Bear-class Heavy-Cruiser is in range!"
"Order them to fire freely," Aurelia ordered. "Then shut down the Dawn's engine. Open the bow deceleration nozzle and the port steering nozzle. Keep the ship horizontal and help the other ships resist the incoming bombardment!"
"Okay, sister." Lux immediately began to execute Aurelia's orders. Because the Dawn Vessel was designed for players, Lux could complete all the operations by herself. Aurelia only had to move her mouth, and the Dawn Vessel would be able to do everything she wanted.
"My lord! We've locked on to the target! "At this moment, Tesla's fleet had also locked on to the target.
"Beat them up! Hit him hard! Avenge our fallen brothers! " Tesla's voice was a little hoarse. He knew that he had no chance of leaving the battlefield alive today. This battle would be his last battle!
As a fleet commander, although he was carrying out a decoy mission, Tesla did not want to be defeated in the last battle of his life!
"Brothers! Oh, please! Sink at least one of the enemy's ships! " Through the information sent back by the scout ship in front, Tesla had discovered that the giant ship in the distance had begun to be tapped. It was obviously trying to block the damage for the other ships. If all the attacks were blocked by it, then Tesla's fleet's attack was likely to cause zero damage, which Tesla could not accept.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Tesla's fleet opened fire. The few heavy cruisers opened fire at full force. The crew knew that they were going to die, but they still moved forward bravely. They piloted the warships and continued to advance while firing.
Just a minute before Tesla's fleet opened fire, Aurelia also gave the order, "Order the fleet members to hide behind the Braveheart. Ignore the two Brown Bear-class Heavy-Cruisers."
Soon, all the other spaceships hid behind the Dawn Vessel, while the only two Brown Bear-class Heavy-Cruisers in the fleet continued to fire as they moved forward.
The Brown Bear-class Heavy-Cruisers were typical sandbag ships in the fleet of the Trade Federation. The meaning of their existence was to rush to the front and absorb damage. Otherwise, how could a heavy cruiser only be equipped with 20 or so automatic cannons, which were rubbish firepower?
To put it bluntly, the cheap Brown Bear-class Heavy-Cruisers were heavy cannon fodder, meant to be beaten up by others. However, as a sandbag, the Brown Bear-class Heavy-Cruisers were also famous for their rough skin and thick flesh!
Boom boom boom boom … Beams of energy hit the Dawn Vessel's shield, but not even a ripple was created. Judging from the strength of the shield of a battleship like the Dawn Vessel, it would take at least two whole fleets to crazily bombard it several times!
Bang bang bang … Although the Dawn Vessel was fine, the two Brown Bear-class Heavy-Cruisers in front of it couldn't hold on any longer. Although their shields were also quite thick, they were, after all, not at the level of a battleship.
After the shield failed, the artillery of Tesla's fleet directly bombarded the surface of the Brown Bear-class Heavy-Cruisers. However, the Brown Bear-class shield was not its main means of defense. Its stronger means of defense came from the thick armor it was equipped with!
At the same time, the Star-class Heavy-Cruisers hiding behind the Dawn Vessel began to work. They released a large number of nanomachines onto the two Brown Bear-class Heavy-Cruisers. These nanomachines immediately began to repair the hull armor that had been damaged by the artillery fire.
With the continuous repair of the nanomachines, the defense of the Brown Bear-class Heavy-Cruisers became even more outstanding. The cooperation of the Brown Bear-class Heavy-Cruisers and the Star-class Heavy-Cruisers was a common tactic of the Trade Federation. Although the number of Brown Bear-class Heavy-Cruisers and Star-class Heavy-Cruisers in the Fifth Fleet was not large, their cooperation still showed their strong defense capabilities.
"Press forward! I want to capture their flagship! " Aurelia's purpose was not just to defeat the opponent. She wanted to capture the opponent's commander, which would be able to show off her achievements!
Boom boom boom … The Dawn Vessel opened fire again. After a round of artillery bombardment, apart from the flagship, there were only two heavily injured heavy-cruisers left in Tesla's fleet. The entire fleet could be said to have been beaten to the point where it was completely unable to resist.
