After everything was discussed, Tesla began to organize a fleet to resist according to Isabella's wishes. Thanks to the firepower support from the interstellar base and orbital defense facilities, Tesla's fleet was not inferior to the Rebellion's "player fleet" in terms of quality, but with the convenience of defense, he was not at a disadvantage.
There was no way to make up for the gap in warships. Although Jiang Fei's fleet was developing rapidly, it was built with the technology of the Trade Federation as the foundation. Even the Valsalrian warships that had been upgraded by the players' technology were much stronger than Jiang Fei's warships, let alone the players' fleet.
But in terms of tactics, Tesla's command attainments were not something that the 'players' of the Resistance Army could match up to. To the 'players', they were not proper military school graduates and were merely playing a game. All they had to do was to gather the fleet and randomly bombard the enemy. If their strength far surpassed the enemy, they would win. If their strength was inferior or about the same, then they could talk about it. After all, the 'players' were not afraid of death.
Therefore, when the players' fleet attacked, Tesla immediately ordered his warships to hide behind the orbital defense system and then look for opportunities to attack the enemy. Although a bulky warship like the Brown Bear could not bring the enemy into its range, spaceships like the Javelin-Class guided missile frigates could still exert a lot of power.
The Javelin-Class guided missile frigates could be said to be the main firepower output point in the original Trade Federation fleet system. Before Jiang Fei brought the Annihilator engine to the Brown Bear heavy cruiser, the Brown Bear simply played the role of a sandbag, and the damage output still depended on the Javelins.
Now, because of the orbital defense facilities as cover, and even the interstellar base could provide a certain amount of shield support, the Javelin-Class guided missile frigates could be said to be like tigers with wings added to a tiger. Coupled with the target uplink support of the Aiken-class battlecruiser, the range and hit rate of the Javelin class guided missile frigates were greatly increased, making their cluster missiles almost never miss, causing huge losses to the warships of the Resistance Army.
"Release the drones!" Tesla ordered. In the previous battles, because his fleet was carrying out harvesting and coordinating missions, he didn't need to go all out. But this time, he couldn't do that. He had to reveal all his trump cards.
"Yes! Commander! " Following Tesla's order, the Grey-horse-class Unmanned Aircraft Carrier at the rear of the fleet released its Unmanned Aircraft Squadron. Just like the other warships of the Trade Federation, these light aircraft carriers were modified from merchant ships.
These gray horse-class light drone carriers were originally long-distance cargo ships used to transport energy blocks. Their only specialty was their large carrying capacity. As for their speed and firepower, they could not be compared to warships at all. They were still at the level of armed merchant ships.
However, it was precisely because of its large carrying capacity that it was developed into a light drone carrier. Every Gray-horse-class drone carrier had a drone production line inside and a hangar platform big enough to accommodate two drone squadrons.
Under Tesla's orders, the Grey-horse-class drone carriers at the rear of the battlefront began to release drone squadrons. Large numbers of unmanned bombers and fighters were released like a swarm of bees, and then headed straight for the rebel fleet in the distance.
"Attack!"
"Main cannons, fire!"
The commander of the Rebellion Army was also ordering the fleet to attack crazily. Although their cannons were almost all hitting the Orbital Defense System, in order to recapture the Interstellar Base, these Orbital Defense System had to be dismantled, so it made no difference whether they attacked earlier or later.
"Boss, the Enforcer Gallas and Ravasa Combatants at the front can't hold on any longer!" Shouted one of the subordinates. Although the performance of the rebel players' warships was much better than Tesla's, they still suffered a lot of damage under the concentrated fire of the Javelin-Class missile frigates.
"Have Overseer Suwin at the back support them!" ordered the commander of the rebel army.
"Yes!" The players' subordinates immediately got into action.
These Overseers Suwin were auxiliary cruisers of the Valsalrian Faction. They could spray a protective nano-armor cloud on the surface of friendly warships, providing them with a temporary armor shell that was stronger than the armor of the warship itself.
After receiving support from Overseer Suwin, the Enforcer Gallas and Ravasa Combatants at the front were full of vigor again. However, at this time, the imperial army's drone swarm had also arrived.
A large number of unmanned bombers began to launch missiles at the rebel fleet, instantly doubling the firepower of the imperial army. This way, even with Overseer Suwin's support, the Enforcer Gallas and Ravasa Combatants at the front could not hold on any longer.
"Boom, boom, boom …" With the explosion of fireworks, the battle entered a white-hot stage.
"Move the Jones Sentinel to the front! Damn it, these drones are so annoying! " Shouted the commander of the rebel army. These Jones Sentinels were of the same class as Jiang Fei's anti-air defense ships. They were ultra-light frigates with weak defense and firepower, but they were agile enough. Their cannons also had high tracking speed. When fighting against drones, they had a much greater advantage than the large spaceships that could only use cannons to kill mosquitoes.
"Yes! Boss! " Soon, a large number of Jones Sentinels were transferred to the front line. As expected, as soon as these spaceships arrived, the imperial army's drone swarm could no longer be as arrogant as before. Under the dense phase missiles of the Jones Sentinels, a large number of drones were destroyed.
However, drones themselves were a kind of consumable. As soon as one side was destroyed, the production line on the Grey-horse-class drone carrier behind it started. It would not be long before a new batch of drones arrived on the battlefield.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom …" The battle entered a stalemate. One by one, the rebel warships were destroyed. At the same time, a large number of the imperial army's orbital defense facilities were destroyed. Although the losses of the warships were negligible, these orbital defense facilities were not infinite. After these bunkers were destroyed, Tesla's fleet would have to resist the enemy's artillery fire by themselves.
"It's almost time! Everyone, get ready to go! "said Isabella to the practitioners.
"Okay!" On one hand, the practitioners were cooperating with Jiang Fei, and on the other hand, they were under pressure from Xie Tianxin. So, they all nodded and led their disciples to the teleportation room.
"Sister Nina, please!" Isabella nodded at Nina. Although they were using the transport ship's teleportation device, they still needed Nina's help to send so many experts over such a long distance.
