This attack method was created by Zi Luo. While greatly reducing the power of the attack, it could also reduce one's energy consumption to the minimum, allowing for a long period of continuous firepower coverage.
Of course, for a level-9 or level-10 civilization, the power of such an attack was obviously meaningless. However, for a level-7 civilization, the space shield had almost no defense against dark energy attacks. Even the weakest attack could easily break through the shield and bombard the body of the battleship.
The patrol fleet, which had just stabilized a little, was once again in a state of chaos.
Almost every second, hundreds of battleships were turned into burning fireballs.
"Damn it! Return fire! Return fire!"
As Paris had placed his flagship on the flank of the formation, he was lucky enough to escape the first wave of attacks. At this moment, his face was full of anger.
What kind of joke is this? You just used a superweapon to bombard me, and now you dare to bully me with a single combat vehicle?
I still have more than 30 billion battleships! Hey!
"The range is not enough. We can't attack, General Paris!"
"Then press the fleet forward and close the distance. Destroy that thing for me!"
"But General, the other party's weapon …"
"Shut up! Do you think that a superweapon of that level can be fired continuously? If that were the case, the other party would have already continued firing. As long as they fired a few more shots, we would all be wiped out! "
Looking at his subordinates, who were frightened out of their wits, he shouted loudly.
If Zi Luo were to hear this, she would definitely say something along the lines of, "Actually, I can fire continuously, at least ten times in a row without a problem …"
However, this time, he was not the protagonist. If not for the fact that he wanted to test Vermillion Bird's actual combat ability, he would not even have come out!
Although Paris had made a wild guess, it had to be said that this explanation made everyone feel a little more at ease.
However, before the fleet could move forward, a new unforeseen event occurred.
"Not good, General Paris! The fleet of the Crete Empire has circled around to our flank, position 26-179."
"What?"
It was not until this time that Paris finally reacted. Ever since the other party had used a superweapon to hit him, his attention had been focused on the battleship. As for the remaining five billion battleships, he had unconsciously ignored them.
In a galactic war, what did it mean to be flanked by the enemy?
For a battleship, the largest part of the overall area was the flank of the battleship. Once it was attacked from the flank, it was no exaggeration to say that the opponent's hit rate would increase exponentially.
Not to mention a warship like the Fearless fleet that used dark energy weapons to attack. Even if there was a distance of 2 to 3 AU, it would only take 1 to 2 seconds for the shot to hit. Even if you maintained Chaotic Maneuver, it would still be very difficult to dodge.
"Quick, send out ten billion battleships to meet them!"
"It's too late, general!"
As soon as the deputy's voice trailed off, countless silver-white light beams arrived, and a large number of battleships were turned into fireballs. In just one wave, at least a billion battleships were destroyed.
Back in Jerez, the battleships of the Seras Empire could at least withstand a few hits, but these battleships of a technological civilization could not withstand even a single hit. Basically, as long as they were hit once, they would be destroyed without any resistance.
This scene also fell into the eyes of Sanhe Sen, who had just deployed the attack plan, causing him to widen his eyes.
"I didn't expect these five billion battleships to be so powerful. Although, compared to the destructive power of that one battleship, they are countless times weaker."
"However, this also proves that these battleships do not have the superweapons. Although the attack power is very strong, it is still within a controllable range!"
In Sanhe Sen's view, although the Fearless battleships' weapons were very powerful, they were still within the scope of conventional weapons. As long as they were within this scope, the alliance fleet would be able to win with an absolute advantage in numbers.
As long as they could deal with these conventional battleships, the alliance fleet would be able to surround the battleship with the superweapons. Even if they could not capture it, it should not be difficult to destroy it.
"Order the fleet at the front to immediately support the guard fleet. Together with them, form an all-out attack on the Crete fleet!"
"Yes, supreme commander!"
Although it would take a lot of time for the entire army to move, there were still some other battleships on board.
Fortunately, in addition to the guard fleet, there were many battleships below level two combat readiness. Although there were not many, there were still 100 billion battleships.
As soon as these 100 billion battleships received Sanhe Sen's attack plan, they immediately took action. At this time, they were very close to the battlefield. In at most three minutes, they would be within range of the Fearless Fleet.
However …
Would the guard fleet be able to hold on for three minutes?
Almost every wave of attack destroyed at least 800 to 900 million battleships, and at most 1 billion battleships. Coupled with the Vermillion Bird mech in front of him, there was not a single second of rest. This made Paris suffer greatly.
Three minutes …
In three minutes, he would be laughing if he still had 10 billion battleships!
However, what Paris did not know was that Lin Kexin did not even intend to leave him 10 billion battleships.
"Sister Zi Luo!"
"What's the matter, Sister Lin Kexin?"
As soon as the communication was connected, the two of them greeted each other as "Sister", just like in the past!
Such an opening remark directly made the bridge crew of the two warships speechless.
"The enemy's large fleet is approaching. I need to completely destroy this fleet before they enter range. I need your help!"
"What do you want to do?"
"It's simple … force them to gather, and then you can give them a hard time!"
"Okay, but after this, I will retreat according to the original plan. You will have to rely on yourself for the rest of the battle!"
"I understand!"
"Order the fleet to concentrate their firepower on the head and tail of the target fleet!"
After ending the communication, Lin Kexin immediately gave the order.
Similarly, Zi Luo also adjusted her attack targets and arranged them in a circular pattern.
If the attack positions of the two sides were connected, it would be like an A-line. The firepower net seemed to have become a super-large cylinder. Zi Luo was in a circular distribution, and Lin Kexin was sealing the two ends, forcing the enemy battleships to constantly squeeze into the safety zone in the middle of the cylindrical firepower net.
A minute later, when Paris finally realized that something was wrong and immediately ordered the fleet to quickly disperse even in the face of the dense firepower net, it was already too late.
The terrifying diffused dark energy radiation wave blasted toward them once
again.
And this time …
More than 90% of the remaining battleships were enveloped in it!
