Prince Xizo clenched his teeth and slammed his fist on the control panel in front of him. His face was full of anger and humiliation! The leader of the Black Sun fleet had been made a fool of just like that!
And what was the meaning of these invisible warships sticking to us like that! Don't look down on us, okay! I still have 18 battleships in my hands, and they're all thousands of meters long! They're not on the same level as your three 500-meter-long warships and 20 120-meter-long small warships!
"Open fire! Tear them apart! "Prince Xizo roared angrily.
The Heaven-class cruiser he was on immediately adjusted its direction and prepared to fire. However, these invisible warships seemed to know what he was planning. The moment the fire-control radar was turned on, they activated the cloaking device again and disappeared in front of everyone! Even the radar signal disappeared completely. The fire-control radar instantly missed its target and could not lock onto the target at all!
If it were the clone troops of the Republic, they would definitely choose optical aiming, which was also commonly known as visual aiming, and then fire randomly. Even if they could not hit the target, it would at least have some effect. However, the members of the Black Sun gang chose the worst and most fitting way to deal with their persona — being dumbfounded.
They only reacted when their warships were attacked. They screamed and controlled the turrets to fight back.
At this time, the Predator fleet had spread out. They bit the tails of the Black Sun fleet's warships and attacked them fiercely with their ion cannons!
The Predators had gone very far in the technology tree of ion cannons. The ion cannons fired by the Predator cruisers would condense particles at a high temperature of more than a million degrees into spheres of about 2 meters in diameter and then fire them at a speed of more than 10 kilometers per second. Although the single shot of these large ion cannons was not as powerful as the turbo laser cannons commonly used in the world of Star Wars, their firing speed was extremely fast. A single shot could fire several high-temperature particles, causing huge damage. Of course, the shortcomings of both were very similar. Their accuracy was not very good, and the range of the ion cannons of the Predators was only about half that of the turbo laser cannons.
However, no matter how bad their accuracy was, it would not be so bad that they would miss an attack on a behemoth more than 1,000 meters long from a distance of two to three kilometers. The warships of the Predators made use of their cloaking devices and their unique high speed and agility to circle around the warships of the Black Sun Fleet and launch continuous attacks!
Contrary to what Prince Xizo had imagined, the Predators had always been the most efficient hunters. They would not play the game of cat and mouse. There was a reason why they had positioned their warships only a few kilometers away from the Black Sun Fleet! After the war began, data on the various main battleships used by the Republic and the Confederation had been sent to Tang Yu's desk in great detail. Naturally, Tang Yu had also discussed and simulated the situation of the Predators fighting against these main battleships with the commander of the Predator B Squadron, Dragon Fang.
Dragon Fang's conclusion was that the Predator, the Predator, and the Heavenly Will warships had no advantage in a long-range artillery battle. One could even say that the Predator warships would be crushed. Therefore, after the war started, Tang Yu never allowed the Iron Blood Fleet to participate in any head-on battles because such occasions were not suitable for them. The advantage of the Predator warships was their high speed, agility, fierce firepower, and extremely fast firing rate. Most importantly, they could turn invisible! In order to make full use of this advantage, the best way was to engage in close combat!
Take a Hunter class cruiser for example, it would take about 5 to 8 minutes for each 180-degree turn, but the Predator cruiser only needed 40 seconds! This was the most fundamental difference in the mobility of the two sides!
Now, the three Predator cruisers and 20 Predator frigates were like sharks that had smelled blood, cruising around the main battleships of the Black Sun Fleet. Meanwhile, the battleships under Prince Xizo's command were like clumsy whales that could only circle around the Predator warships in vain.
High temperature particles kept exploding on the bodies of the Black Sun Fleet's battleships. Their energy shields were getting weaker and weaker. It must be known that energy shields were very inflexible. If one part of the energy shield was strengthened, the other parts of the energy shield would be weakened. The Predator warships made use of their advantage in speed to fire at the places where the energy shields were weak. In less than three minutes after the battle started, the energy shields of three of the five main battleships around Prince Xizo had already been penetrated!
"Retreat immediately! Regroup with the other battleships! We can't be defeated one by one! "Prince Xizo shouted as if he had just woken up from a dream.
However, it was too late. A sudden violent tremor made Prince Xizor almost lose his balance. He crawled up from the ground and saw that there was a violent explosion behind the Ruthless frigate in front of him. The location of the explosion was the frigate's energy storage! To make matters worse, the Ruthless had obviously lost all combat power in the explosion, and it happened to be right in front of Prince Xizo's flagship!
"Ram it!! Get closer to the battleships behind!! "Prince Xizo's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness as he shouted.
The Heaven-class cruiser sped up its power and charged straight at the Ruthless without stopping! The captain of the Ruthless class screamed in horror and begged for mercy through the communication channel, but Prince Xizo did not waver at all. Instead, he shouted, "Continue to accelerate!!"
Boom ~ ~ ~ A violent collision sound was heard. The Heaven-class cruiser directly rammed into the slender waist of the Ruthless class frigate! The warship was directly smashed into two! It then flew at high speed towards the fleet behind. There were still twelve main battleships there. This was the basis for Prince Xizo to turn the tables!
After all, there were not many of those black and sinister-looking stealth battleships. There were only three 500-meter long main battleships. The remaining 20 120-meter long frigates could not do anything to the main battleships of the Hunter class and the Ruthless class in a short period of time. As long as he could regroup with them, he could break out of the encirclement and make a comeback!
Black Sun was different from the other planets and political entities. Black Sun could not be killed. It was said that the monk could run, but the temple could not. However, Black Sun did not even have a temple. If they really wanted to uproot Black Sun, they would probably have to cause a bloodbath in hundreds or thousands of galaxies.
Even in the future, when Black Sun was finally destroyed, the key point was not that Black Sun provoked Darth Vader and did not give Luke Skywalker any favor, but that they had offended the two largest forces at that time, the Rebel Army and the Galactic Empire. The most important reason was that after Prince Xizo, the successive supreme leaders of Black Sun were fools who had high ambitions but low abilities.
Therefore, Prince Xizo had the confidence that as long as he could get out of here alive today, let alone these 18 main battleships, he could even get 28 more! Then, it would be a crazy revenge on the Guardian Planet!
However, when Prince Xizo's flagship passed through the body of the Ruthless that had been smashed into two, the scene he saw shocked him. This supreme leader of Black Sun felt despair for the first time!
