Seeing that Griffin's fleet was getting closer and closer, Jiang Fei and the others were about to enter their range, Jiang Fei became really anxious.
"Clark, order the flagship to turn around. At the same time, activate the quantum magnetic field on the Dunov-class Battlecruiser!" Jiang Fei ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Clark did not question Jiang Fei's order and immediately began to execute it.
Very soon, the two main battleships turned around and faced the arrival of Griffin's fleet.
"Marshal, they will be within our range in thirty seconds!" Clark began to get nervous. At this time, the other battleships were continuing to move forward. Only two main battleships were left to intercept the enemy. This was like throwing an egg against a rock!
"Activate the missile barrage!" Jiang Fei ordered.
"Yes! Sir! " Of course, Clark knew that the missile barrage was the ultimate killer move of the Martha class Dreadnought. However, as the captain of this Martha class Dreadnought, he had never seen the power of this move.
"It's time to show you the power of Martha's Church!" Jiang Fei's lips curled into a cruel smile.
The Martha class Dreadnought was the strongest attack among all the main battleships under Jiang Fei's command. In addition to conventional weapons, the power of the missile barrage was the source of Martha's strength!
"Marshal, the missile barrage is ready!" At this time, Clark reported the progress.
"Fire!" Jiang Fei waved his hand. At this time, there were still more than ten seconds before the enemy battleships entered their range. Considering the flight time of the missile, this was the best time to fire!
"Yes!" Clark nodded, then pressed the launch button of the ultimate weapon!
Swoosh swoosh swoosh … At this time, the Martha class Dreadnought was like a frightened porcupine. Densely packed missiles were fired like a rainstorm. The missiles were like a swarm of locusts, heading straight for Griffin's fleet!
"How is this possible?!" Griffin saw the scene in front of him and was shocked. This was not the firepower that a single battleship could fire. Thousands of missiles were flying toward them. Even if the Rebel Army's battleships had activated their energy shields, it was enough to make them suck in a breath of cold air.
Missiles were similar to automatic cannons in that the energy shield could not completely block the damage they caused. A considerable portion of the damage would bypass the shield and directly affect the body of the ship. This would cause the ship to explode while the shield was still there!
"Boom, boom, boom, boom …" Violent explosions erupted everywhere in Griffin's fleet. However, the Matha-class missile screen also had a drawback. These missiles were guided by terminal energy tracking, not radar guidance. This was because the Matha-class dreadnought's radar could not guide them all the way if tens of thousands of missiles were launched at once.
Therefore, these missiles were fired in a general direction. When they got close to the target, the miniature energy radar on the missile would search for the nearest high-energy object, and then automatically lock onto it and launch an attack.
As a result, the targets of these missiles were not very reasonable. They were completely random, and they would hit whoever was close to them. This way, they could not achieve the effect of concentrating fire. Although they caused large-scale damage, only a few enemy ships were sunk.
Of course, if the Matha-class dreadnought only had this ability, it would not be worthy of being the strongest among the main battleships under Jiang Fei's command. The most awesome thing about the Matha-class was that it could launch twenty-five waves of missiles at once!
After one round of missiles, Griffin's vanguard troops were all injured. Then, a second round of missiles came!
"Boom boom boom …" This time, the lethality of the missile barrage was revealed. The battleships that were damaged in the first round did not even have time to retreat before they were hit by the second round of missiles. Although they were still scattered, they could not withstand the sheer number of missiles!
"Reduce speed! Shrink the formation! " When Griffin saw that there was still a third round of missiles, he immediately ordered the fleet to slow down. There was no other way. If they continued to rush forward like this, his fleet would probably be reduced by half before they reached the enemy!
In fact, at this time, there were several options in front of Griffin. The best choice was to focus fire on this Matha-class dreadnought. Although it was a main battleship, with the firepower of Griffin's fleet, it was not difficult to kill it in seconds. Moreover, they were already within range at this time.
However, the problem was that Griffin wanted to capture Jiang Fei alive. In this way, he did not dare to casually sink Jiang Fei's ship. With this scruple, his decision would inevitably be affected.
Of course, if possible, some skills like Quantum Lightning Bolt could also be used to interrupt the Matha-class dreadnought's missile screen. After all, after Martha's system was paralyzed, its missiles could not be launched.
However, the problem was that there was really no such type of main battleship in Griffin's fleet. Govila had such a control-type main battleship, but unfortunately, it was captured by Aurelia. So, Griffin could not interrupt the Matha-class dreadnought's missile screen.
In this way, Griffin only had one last choice left, which was to shrink the defense and let the Jaras Law-class Heavy Cruiser stand in front of them. Then, he would activate Body Reassembly until the missile screen was over.
However, no matter how much Griffin thought about it, he did not expect that there would be as many as twenty-five waves of missiles. Although the Jaras Law-class Enforcer had taken the damage at the front and the loss of the fleet was not big, the problem was that it was too much of a waste of time.
When the tenth wave of missiles was launched, Jiang Fei suddenly ordered, "Stop the missile screen!"
"Huh?" Clark was stunned.
"Huh what? Turn around and run away! " Jiang Fei shouted. Although the powerful attack of the missile screen made Griffin's fleet temporarily unable to move forward, they would not be able to escape after the missiles were fired out!
So, taking advantage of this moment, Griffin's fleet activated Body Reassembly. Their main engine had been shut down. At this time, they hurriedly ran away. When the Body Reassembly of Griffin's fleet was completed and the engine was turned on, they would run far away again.
Although Griffin's fleet's speed had recovered to its peak state after activating Gravity Distortion, it should not be forgotten that this was the gravity well of a star. The strong radiation caused a large amount of the ship's antimatter to be lost. As long as they delayed for a while, Griffin's fleet would probably not have the energy to activate Gravity Distortion again.
"Yes!" Clark, who understood Jiang Fei's intention, immediately carried out the order. At the same time, he notified the Dunov-class Battlecruiser next to him to hurry up and run together.
…
"Damn it! Turn off Body Reassembly! Chase after them! " When Griffin saw that Jiang Fei was about to run, he immediately became angry. However, when the battleship's body was being reassembled, he could not retreat at all. Moreover, after he retreated, he had to restart the engine, so it was quite troublesome.
