Boom, boom, boom … The artillery fire from the Rebellion Army hit the Brown-class Heavy Cruisers at the front, causing the shields of these Brown-class Heavy Cruisers to instantly shatter, and the hull of the ships was also hit by the artillery fire.
Fortunately, the Dunov-class Battlecruisers at the rear had already turned on the quantum magnetic field, so even if the Starships had no antimatter, they could rely on Dunov's long-range energy supply to repair these Brown-class Heavy Cruisers.
With the powerful repair ability of the Starships, the crude but thick-skinned Brown-class Heavy Cruisers survived the first round of artillery fire. When the Rebellion Army fleet was charging the main cannon, they quickly repaired the heavily damaged armor shell.
"Very good! It looks like we can hold on! " Jiang Fei was confident. As long as the enemy could not destroy these Brown-class Heavy Cruisers with a round of artillery fire, then with the powerful repair ability of the Starships, it would be impossible for the enemy to break through the blockade and destroy the fragile warships at the back.
"Clark, activate the missile barrage!" Jiang Fei gave the order to attack. Although the Brown-class Heavy Cruisers' automatic artillery could not reach the enemy at all, the Matha-class Dreadnought's missile barrage could already kill them.
Moreover, with those Brown-class Heavy Cruisers in front of them, Griffin's fleet could not focus on the Matha-class Dreadnought at all, which created a good damage output environment for it.
At the same time, the Javelin Class Frigates at the rear also began to attack. Although these frigates were fragile and almost all of them could be killed with one shot, they were equipped with multiple missile matrices that could exert very strong firepower.
Especially when they were equipped with cluster warheads, the power of these missiles was extraordinary. Even against heavy cruisers, it could cause effective damage.
Generally, on the battlefield, spaceships like the Javelin Class Frigates were the first priority targets. They had terrifying lethality, but they were extremely fragile. If they were not killed immediately, the damage they caused would be even more terrifying than the heavy cruisers.
However, now, Griffin's fleet could not attack these Frigates at all because their attack path was blocked by a group of Brown-class Brown-class Heavy Cruisers. At this time, the shortcomings of energy weapons were also reflected.
Although directional energy weapons had a long range and were powerful, they could not turn! The attack path was blocked by a group of Brown-class Brown-class Heavy Cruisers that were constantly being repaired, which made it impossible for Griffin's fleet to attack other enemy ships.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh … The sky was filled with missiles. Sixty percent of them came from the Matha-class Dreadnought's missile barrage, but the remaining forty percent were more powerful. Because the missiles launched by the Javelin Class Frigates were equipped with cluster warheads, they were more destructive.
Faced with the rain of missiles, the frontline of the Griffin Fleet could not withstand it. As a last resort, the Jaras Enforcers and Lavasa Combatants activated Body Regeneration. Although this would cause them to lose their mobility and attack abilities, their powerful self-healing ability allowed them to stand tenaciously on the battlefield without worrying about being destroyed by the rain of missiles.
As the heavy-duty frigates and heavy-duty frigates of the Griffin fleet were in a state of reassembly, their weapons systems were temporarily shut down, so their firepower was suddenly weakened. As a result, the pressure on Jiang Fei's fleet's Bear-class Heavy Cruisers was also reduced. The two sides suddenly fell into a deadlock.
"Hehe, let's drag it out. Just hold on a little longer and we'll win!" A smile appeared on Jiang Fei's face. What he needed now was time. With the strength of his fleet, destroying Griffin's fleet was simply wishful thinking.
However, Jiang Fei did not need to destroy the other party. As long as he delayed until Aurelia arrived, Griffin's fleet would be like a turtle in a jar.
"Damn it! Attack! Send the drones! "At this time, Griffin was anxious, but he did not have much power at his disposal.
If Griffin's fleet encountered Jiang Fei's fleet in the gravitational field of a planet, Jiang Fei's fleet would have been destroyed by now. However, the problem was that this was the gravitational field of a star. The powerful radiation had caused his fleet's antimatter to be depleted. To paraphrase a game phrase, Griffin's team's mages and supports were all out of mana. Although they had more people, how much damage could these mages and supports do with their normal attacks?
On the other hand, although Jiang Fei's team had fewer people, they had the Dunov-Class Battlecruiser to provide antimatter support. After the Matha-class Dreadnought turned on the missile barrage, it was no different from a mage who had finished casting a forbidden spell. Moreover, there was a healer on his side who was constantly healing. Although Griffin's fleet had more people, when all of their mana was depleted, they could not even exert 30% of their strength.
Therefore, although there was a huge difference in the number of warships between the two sides, they were evenly matched.
"Sir, the imperial fleet has been detected approaching!" Griffin's adjutant suddenly reported.
"Confirm the size of the enemy fleet!" Griffin's heart immediately tightened. If this was just a local fleet of the Empire Army, then it would not be a big problem. However, if it was the main fleet of the Empire Army, then it would be troublesome!
At the same time, Griffin was also complaining in his heart. "Damn Govila, where did your fleet go? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
Also in the gravity well of the star, Jiang Fei's fleet was not the only one whose communication was disrupted. Griffin's fleet had also lost contact with Govila's fleet. Therefore, at this time, he had no idea that his allies had been wiped out at the stargate.
"Sir, this is bad. The imperial fleet is unprecedentedly large. There are more than 1,500 warships!" The adjutant's answer made Griffin's heart sink.
"Prepare to evacuate!" Griffin was a seasoned commander. He made a decision as soon as he received the information. Although the number of this imperial fleet was almost the same as his fleet, the problem was that his fleet had exhausted its antimatter and was in a state of empty mana. On the other hand, the enemy's fleet was a fresh force. Once the two sides fought, their combat effectiveness could not be compared.
In fact, what Griffin did not know was that even if his fleet was at full strength, it would be impossible for him to resist Aurelia's fleet. After all, the gap of one Titan was obvious. Not to mention the super warships like the Twilight of the Gods Titan, which was covered with giant cannons, it was estimated that Griffin's fleet would lose at least one-third of its combat power after a round of skills from the Azrael. Therefore, although the number of the two sides was about the same, in terms of combat effectiveness, they were not on the same level.
Therefore, at this time, Griffin's decision to evacuate was undoubtedly the most rational. However, the problem was that if he wanted to leave, could Jiang Fei just stand by and do nothing?
"Marshal, the enemy has stopped attacking. They seem to be adjusting their course. It seems that they are moving near the gravity line of the star. They are going to run!" Clark reported.
