Energy beams and various physical warheads pierced the sky with astonishing heat, interweaving into a dazzling grid of light. The entire sky was cut into pieces by the crisscrossing net of fire, like a white canvas cut by a naughty child with a razor. From time to time, small fighters and light assault ships that were hit by cannon fire fell from the sky with thick smoke, drawing crooked black trajectories before exploding into dazzling fireworks. The mothership-class spaceships were the grim reapers of the battlefield. Their powerful main cannons were enough to tear apart a small spaceship, and the bombardment between large warships was earth-shattering. Huge beams of several meters or even dozens of meters in diameter had the power to shred space itself. The energy shields of the motherships on the outer layer of the motherships rippled under the bombardment of the cannons, but the thick shield system gave these terrifying machines of destruction the capital to withstand the bombardment of the enemy's main cannons. Against the various cannons that came from all directions (in fact, their huge size made it difficult for these behemoths to make complex evasive maneuvers), the motherships of both sides poured out their firepower without restraint, trying to completely vaporize the enemy ships that were hovering in the distant horizon from this world. The incredibly agile assault ships that wandered in between the anti-air cannons also gave the larger warships a headache. In order to take down an assault ship that was as annoying as a fly, the motherships often had to pay a large area of coverage to hit their target. This was obviously a huge waste. The small fighters nimbly weaved through the dense net of fire, constantly blasting the interceptors of the enemy into fireballs of various sizes, or launching their most powerful attacks at the weak points of the motherships. Unlike the monotonous bombardment of the larger warships, the small fighters and assault ships fought with high-end close-range shooting and almost artistic extreme maneuvers. Even Hollywood blockbusters with the most exaggerated special effects could not recreate such an amazing aerial combat scene.
Both sides knew Schilling technology like the back of their hands, and the tactics that were effective against illiterate demons or the undead were completely useless here. The advantages of various types of warships, the weaknesses of their armor, the firing pattern of the mothership's anti-air cannons, and even the maximum locking speed of each automatic cannon were all things that both sides were well aware of. With equal technological information and no one having an overwhelming advantage, the battle quickly turned into a stalemate.
My previous guess was correct. As expected, the enemy didn't place all their bets on a single Eternal-class battleship. After the Gravity Trap Bomb was dropped, the enemy battleships hidden in the nearby spatial cracks were all exposed. We nearly fell into a gigantic encirclement. It seemed that in the enemy's original plan, these battleships' mission was to encircle and annihilate the remaining Empire fleets after their aerial fortress was destroyed by the "Galaxy". However, Shallow Shallow's Time Freeze disrupted the enemy's plan. We barely managed to avoid this huge encirclement that was about to be sealed, and we also exposed the enemy's ambush ahead of time.
"The Third Fleet's flagship has been captured by the gravitational net! They're right behind us! Deploy the force field disintegration device … "
"The strength of the energy shield of the 'Glaze' fleet is decreasing. Phantom System, attract the firepower!"
"Target # 6 has been destroyed … The enemy's frigate is rushing over. They're going to sacrifice themselves! Sink it … Well done! "
Battle reports were quickly transmitted in the spiritual connection network of all levels of commanders. The completely zero time difference in information exchange allowed this seemingly chaotic battle to always be under the control of both sides. However, overall, we still had a slight advantage.
After all, the enemy's greatest advantage at the beginning was the sneak attack of the "Galaxy" and the fleet's ambush. If they succeeded, there would naturally be no suspense in the outcome, but unfortunately, they failed …
"We must finish the battle as soon as possible." A cold light flashed in Sandora's eyes. "As long as the Eternal-class still has the ability to launch the 'Galaxy', the battle situation is still undecided. How are the Sicarro defense forces?"
"The defense forces are ready again. Should we deploy them immediately?"
"Let them enter their positions. All motherships, after the defense forces are activated, ignore all additional targets and focus all firepower on the enemy fortress ships!"
"Isn't it too rash?" Although I wasn't very good at commanding such a battle … Alright, I admit that I wasn't good at it at all, but I could at least hear that Sandora's decision was really rash.
If we still couldn't sink the heavily-armored fortress ship after Sicarro and the others ran out of energy, wouldn't we fall into an absolute passive situation after being surrounded by a large number of assault ships and small and medium-sized battleships?
"They don't dare to risk their lives." Sandora showed a cold smile as if mocking the enemy's stupidity and overconfidence. "The world circuit is about to be completed. They won't allow unnecessary losses at this time. An Eternal-class ship is not an assembly demon that can be abandoned at any time. They will definitely protect their fortress ship. If the enemy is really generous enough to abandon their own sky fortress, we won't be in danger. Don't underestimate your commander. Sicarro can even withstand the 'Galaxy' with his body, so he won't be unable to withstand a group of small fries for long."
Is that Uncle Big Black CD really that powerful?
Alright, I admit that when I saw him resist the 'Galaxy' with his body, I was still a little shocked … Yes, it lasted until the moment when he fell down to collect the CD. It was about a little more than ten seconds …
At this moment, Lin Xue's voice suddenly sounded next to me. "Strange, where did Pandora go?"
Pandora?
I suddenly realized that Pandora hadn't had any mental connection with me since just now, and I didn't see her on the battlefield. This was very abnormal. I really couldn't imagine that hot-blooded little girl letting go of such a good opportunity to fight to her heart's content. Shouldn't she be fully armed at this time, with a cold gaze and a body full of weapons of mass destruction, shouting slogans, holding guns, and shooting fireworks in all directions in the sky?
This was what a certain loli liked to do the most at this time.
"Pandora, where are you?"
I opened a special mental connection. This was an encrypted channel that only Pandora and I could use. Under any circumstances, this connection would not be interrupted.
"On the ground, there are enemies."
Pandora replied simply. Her voice sounded very calm, which made me feel much more at ease.
"Do you need reinforcements?"
"No need, I'll settle it quickly."
Pandora replied briefly again. Then, she unilaterally cut off the connection, not replying no matter how I asked.
Pandora's reaction made me feel a little strange. It was rare for her to cut off the connection with me so abruptly. Even if she occasionally threw a little tantrum, she would always maintain a smooth connection with me. Indistinctly, a trace of uneasiness appeared in my heart.
I turned around and shouted, "Can you lock onto Pandora's position?"
Then, I saw that the holographic projection in the command room that was monitoring the situation on the ground was showing an explosion zone covered in billowing smoke and dust. The dense flashes and crisscrossing light beams made it seem as though an entire division of mecha armies were fighting inside.
Pandora, that little girl's movements were always incomparably loud … There was no need to lock onto her position at all …
"I'll go take a look at the situation." I thought about it again and again, but I still felt very uneasy. So, I threw down this sentence and was about to leave when my sister suddenly stopped me.
"I'll go with you." My sister had a gentle but indifferent smile that no one could refuse. "Anyway, I can't help in this kind of chaotic battle between armies."
I originally wanted my sister to stay in the safety of the fortress, but thinking that her "anti-misfortune shield" and cursing ability, which could be called a cheat of fate, was the most suitable situation, I nodded in agreement.
… Alright, since everyone has already guessed it, I was just defeated by my sister's never-ending "smiling" tactic …
As the supreme commander, it was obviously not smart to leave the fortress to look for her sister at this time. However, Sandora just nodded lightly. "Be careful. Chen Qian's ability can ensure your safety. However, it's better to go and return quickly. Pandora's combat power is very strong. To be honest, I don't think there's a need for you to go down …"
"I think I should still go and take a look. That little girl really makes me feel uneasy."
Just as I finished speaking, Lin Xue, who was sitting on her seat with her eyes closed, opened her mouth. "That's true. Anyway, you won't be of much use here …"
… Say it again! Try saying it again! If you say it again, I … I … can only admit it …
555, this was really a great tragedy. Facing Lin Xue's sharp attack, I actually couldn't find any facts to refute …
As my sister and I left the command room, Lin Xue, who was sitting on her seat with her eyes closed, sighed softly. "Sigh … That damn heavy lolicon … It's going to be even more lively now …"
