With the T2 Queen Bee as the core, they established a unidirectional Aircraft Carrier battle formation.
A unidirectional Aircraft Carrier battle formation is a combat formation that only needs to be built with one direction as the battle front.
The T2 Queen Bee was located at the very back, with a T2 Gray Wolf-class Light Star Cruiser and a T2 Fire Leopard-class Medium Interstellar Battleship in front of it.
Further ahead were eight T2 Hyena-class Medium Interstellar Destroyers and twenty T2 Guardian-class Medium Interstellar Frigates.
These thirty-one Starships stood ready to face the approaching swarm of Zerg!
Almost the instant those Zerg entered firing range, all Imperial Army Starships opened fire.
With previous combat experience, these Imperial Army Starships had slightly familiarized themselves with the combat rhythm against these Interstellar Insectoids.
At the same time, the T2 Queen Bee was continuously deploying Interstellar Drone Swarms.
Third echelon... Fifth echelon... Seventh echelon... Tenth echelon.
Gradually, the number of Interstellar Drones returning each time began to decline, and these missing Interstellar Drones were naturally torn to shreds by the Zerg.
With the support of the T2 Queen Bee, although the combat power of the Interstellar Drone Swarm was unexpectedly strong.
However, the scale of the Zerg swarm was simply too massive, and the front line was gradually being pushed back!
From a distance, it looked as if a black tide was about to engulf the thirty-one Starships.
“If we continue like this, the outcome will still be the same.
Our firepower is completely insufficient to withstand the Zerg swarm’s attack!” The Female Deputy said anxiously beside Commander Chu Xuan.
Commander Chu Xuan stared at the changes on the holographic Interstellar sandbox, her expression solemn.
From the current situation, in less than twenty minutes, these Zerg swarms would approach their Starship line, posing a direct threat to their Starships.
“Contact the Captain of the Black Dragon Fleet for me.” Commander Chu Xuan said in a deep voice.
The Female Deputy immediately connected, and a video window opened, the man's face appearing before them again.
Before Commander Chu Xuan could speak.
Zhao Chen spoke first: “Wait a little longer.”
Commander Chu Xuan and the Female Deputy were stunned.
“Wait for what?” Commander Chu Xuan asked subconsciously.
“Time.” Zhao Chen’s gaze was not on Commander Chu Xuan at this moment, but on his holographic Interstellar sandbox, as if he was waiting for something to happen.
Commander Chu Xuan and the Female Deputy both found it incredible.
“Ten minutes! At most, wait ten more minutes!” Zhao Chen said seriously.
Commander Chu Xuan, who was about to speak, chose to hold back, she thought to herself: Then she would wait ten more minutes, if there was still no change after ten minutes, she would really lead her Imperial Army Fleet to evacuate.
Time passed bit by bit.
The Zerg swarm tide was also gradually approaching the fleet's front line.
The Female Deputy was frantic with worry.
Suddenly, the Starship radar operator, who had been monitoring the battlefield, exclaimed: “Report, high energy readings detected behind the Zerg swarm! At the same time... the life signal of a T2 Zerg Hive Mothership... has disappeared! frёewebηovel.cѳm
A rapidly moving unknown energy signal suddenly appeared behind the Zerg swarm.”
Commander Chu Xuan and the Female Deputy exchanged glances, was this what that man was waiting for?
“It’s starting!” Zhao Chen muttered, a crazy look flashing in his eyes.
Charlotte, begin your performance!
Just then, the Zerg swarm tide, which had been launching a massive attack, actually slowed down a bit, and some of the Zerg even retreated!
“Release unmanned reconnaissance drones to see what’s going on!” Commander Chu Xuan hastily gave the order.
One by one, unmanned reconnaissance drones were deployed, because the frontal battlefield was covered by the overwhelming Zerg swarm, the Starships could not directly see what was happening behind the Zerg swarm.
They could only rely on the unmanned reconnaissance drones to move to a visible position and then transmit the visual feed back.
Soon, visual feeds were transmitted back one by one.
“My goodness, that’s a Starship!” The Female Deputy exclaimed, covering her mouth: “This Starship’s speed is too fast! I estimate at least seventy to eighty knots per hour!”
“No, it’s one hundred knots per hour.” Commander Chu Xuan, relying on her battlefield intuition, accurately stated the Starship’s speed.
“One hundred knots per hour?” The Female Deputy was astonished.
At this moment, the wreckage of the exploded T2 Zerg Hive Mothership also appeared before their eyes, the originally massive Zerg Nest Mothership was split into three sections, and it was clear that one side of the Zerg Nest Mothership’s hull had suffered terrifying shelling, directly piercing through it!
“It’s a cannon, a cannon with a caliber of 1000mm or more.” Commander Chu Xuan, based on «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» the image, immediately identified the weapon that caused this damage.
Commander Chu Xuan said urgently: “Enlarge that Starship for me!”
The image was gradually enlarged, although it was somewhat blurry.
But it was still possible to see this rapidly moving Starship, maneuvering quickly through the enemy formation, it completely ignored the Zerg swarms pursuing it, just continuously sailing.
Because of its astonishing speed, the Zerg swarms behind it actually couldn’t catch up!
And those Zerg Nest Motherships tried to attack using their bio-plasma cannons, but the Starship was really too fast, not a single shot hit.
“Captain, what exactly is going on?” Commander Chu Xuan couldn’t help but be curious and directly asked Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen crossed his arms, and calmly explained: “That is a Starship from my fleet, Blizzard Zero, a T2 Starship with high speed and equipped with a 1200mm caliber cannon.”
“A T2 Starship equipped with a 1200mm caliber cannon?” The Female Deputy exclaimed.
“So this is the second Starship of your fleet, you never intended to defend against the Zerg swarm’s attack from the beginning.
Instead, you used us to attract the Zerg swarm forces from the Zerg Nest Mothership, a large number of Zerg swarm forces were used to attack us, and those Zerg Nest Motherships naturally became undefended.
And at this time, your Blizzard Zero approached at an extremely high speed, directly launching an attack on those Zerg Nest Motherships!” Commander Chu Xuan directly stated Zhao Chen’s plan.
Zhao Chen nodded, this Commander of the Imperial Army Fleet not only had a sense of justice and responsibility, but was actually a talented soldier.
“Madman! You are simply a madman! Have you ever thought that with the slightest mistake, that Starship would be completely devoured by the Zerg swarm!” The Female Deputy looked at Zhao Chen in astonishment.
Zhao Chen, however, said steadfastly: “There will be no accidents. Because that Starship is called Blizzard Zero.”
There was another sentence that Zhao Chen did not say.
Commanding the battle on that Starship was the legendary Half-Beastman general, Charlotte, the General of the White Tiger!
