Chapter 53: Battle of Kresh V(1/2)
Sword of Glory class heavy cruiser.
Inside the bridge, a quiet atmosphere filled the air.
Xia Xiu sat in the command seat, his eyes looking at the deep universe through the transparent porthole. The cold starlight in the starry sky reflected in the golden pupils, and the air was filled with faint sounds of electronic equipment running. The staff of the bridge were busy at their respective posts, but the atmosphere was always balanced by calmness and tension.
He lowered his head slightly, gently tapped the console in front of him with his fingers, and then the latest battle report he received appeared on the holographic display screen in front of him. The front-line battle report he had just received made him raise the corner of his mouth slightly.
The Confession operation has been successfully completed, and the control of the Luminous Island has fallen into their hands. The transformer Henry Harding successfully disguised himself as Caranos Carr.
All this was expected and he was very satisfied.
The power of the son of the courtyard is gradually growing, and more and more tasks no longer require him to take action personally. The elites under him are increasingly able to stand on their own, which also allows his future plans to be promoted more smoothly.
He was feeling a little relaxed and turned to look at the pilot Selas Sefalon on the side of the bridge.
The navigator with three eyes is standing in front of the console, and the third eye on his forehead is sensing the fluctuations in the surrounding etheric space.
"Selas, ready to jump to the nearby clearance area and create a threat."
Xia Xiu ordered to the pilot beside him:
"While destroying their space stations and the engines of the etheric traction waves, be sure to attract their main fleet."
Silas answered immediately without any hesitation:
"Yes, teacher."
Immediately, the pilot began to operate the console and mobilize the ship's system.
Under his command, [Sword of Glory], this huge three-kilometer-long cruiser slowly began to adjust its course.
The ship's engine began to roar, like a sleeping giant beast, ready to explode its power.
As the hull began to turn, the outline of the Sword of Glory became clearer in the dark universe. The sharp hull and sharp armor swung towards the enemy's heart like a huge death scythe.
With the precise operation of Silas, the ship connected to the hyperspace channel near the Kresh Hub and quickly made a leap.
【The clearance area in front of it – 】
With the precise capture of the third eye of Silas, the ship connected to the ether traction wave hyperspace channel near the Kresh hub, and then quickly made a leap.
【Start to jump!】
call out--
The lights in the bridge flickered slightly, and the hyperspace crack on the screen was rapidly expanding, and the entire bridge was swallowed by an invisible force.
At that moment, the body of the Sword of Glory merged with the universe.
Only after everything returns to peace will the voice of the leader slowly ring.
"Complete the leap."
The voice of Silas broke the silence inside the bridge.
“The target area has entered.”
At this moment, the huge hull of [Sword of Glory] quietly appeared on the disturbing border outside the Kresh Hub, like a ghost beast floating in space.
Its iconic Gothic style appearance is like a hanging sharp blade in the void, giving people a sense of oppressive heaviness.
The atmosphere inside the bridge was severe and cold. Xia Xiu sat in front of the podium, with a sense of eagerness to try in his golden eyes.
It was actually his first time to command the fleet to attack this job.
Compared with his personal battles, this time, he had to rely on a huge fleet rather than his powerful personal power.
In the past, most of the hubs he conquered were Terran's endogenous hubs. Those existences themselves were not profound and their strategic depth could not be compared with those hubs facing today.
In the battlefield of the past, Xia Xiu was able to rely on his great power as he was like the prehistoric world to forcibly break through and destroy all resistance.
You can overwhelm everything alone without the help of a fleet.
However, now, with the outbreak of the Ivy War, the situation has changed.
Faced with the vast war situation involving countless hubs in the heavens and worlds and spread throughout the deep ocean, simple personal power can no longer bear such a vast strategic depth.
Even if the gods of the Golden King Court who are the most popular gods in the Golden King Court, even if they have the power to break the sky, they will find it difficult for them to form effective strikes and controls on these huge battlefields by their own strength alone.
What's more, the depth of these hubs is not as simple as just a few simple hubs - each hub is a complex battlefield that can evolve to several times the scale of battle he expected at any time.
So what Xia Xiu really needs is... the fleet, an elite naval force belonging to the courtyard.
Now the fleet in the courtyard has begun to take shape, but the current number of ships is actually far from enough.
In addition to the basic necessary ships such as [scientific research ships], [engineering ships], etc., the only heavy battleship that can be truly handy now is the [Sword of Glory Heavy Cruiser].
This cruiser was not self-developed and produced by the courtyard - it was drawn by the Kingdom of Heaven and built by eight companies with abnormal capital.
Although there is no need to be so clear about the relationship between the kingdom of heaven and the courtyard, Xia Xiu still hopes that the courtyard can have the ability to independently develop and build ships.
Moreover, although this cruiser is enough to represent the flagship power of the courtyard, it still cannot form an effective combat power advantage in quantity.
What's even more fatal is that the fleet's organization is far from mature.
Two problems with the courtyard navy are now-the number of ships and the number of talents.
The construction of ships includes the Kingdom of Heaven, the STC template, and the abnormal capital that can sustainably exhaust the waters and fish and fleece.
If he really wanted to Explosive Soldiers to the Courtyard, he could really make the number of troops immediately.
But now the problem lies in the talent, especially the number of sons in the core courtyard, which is far from keeping up with the needs of fleet expansion.
Even if the fleet is filled with the organization, the existing Garden Son Warriors are far from enough to support such a huge fleet, which means that even with ships, the Garden cannot quickly form a complete combat power.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! Faced with the above difficulties, the Lord of the Courtyard has made the following four important instructions:
[I. In order to ensure the long-term development of the courtyard and occupy an advantageous position in future strategic competition, the most urgent task at present is to accelerate the cultivation of the sons of the courtyard to supplement and strengthen existing combat power and build a combat group with independent combat capabilities.
II. It is necessary to fully launch the courtyard-specific STC template research and development plan to ensure that technological innovation and tactical application can match the needs of modern warfare and maximize combat effectiveness.
III. Comprehensive construction of naval forces affiliated with the courtyard is also on the agenda. The formation of a fleet not only depends on the investment of high-end warships, but also requires the matching crew and command system to ensure that the fleet can show strong mobility and attack power in a multi-dimensional battlefield.
This strategic deployment will ensure that the courtyard has sufficient military strength and equipment support in future cross-deep military operations, forming a dual advantage of external expansion and defense.
IV. By building a fleet belonging to the courtyard, the courtyard will gradually form a sustainable strategic force, providing strong support for the war layout within the wider Ivy area in the future.]
On the basis of adhering to the [utopian Program], [human supremacy], and the new era [sequentialism] of the Lord of the Courtyard, all sons must strictly abide by and implement these noble principles and courtyard commands to ensure the full realization of strategic goals.
The above-mentioned official words were sorted out by Secretary-General Pan Si Jian to the various departments of the courtyard and all the sons of the courtyard.
Moreover, since the courtyard established the political commissar system, the implementation of these instructions has fallen on the political commissar. They will become the agents of the courtyard leader and gain the power of political supervision and enforcement of discipline.
Xia Xiu's dispersed thoughts were immediately withdrawn, and the many thoughts just now were in reality for less than two seconds.
He is now used to dealing with various government affairs and wars, and running a force requires all kinds of concerns.
The Lord of the Courtyard, who had re-emphasized his attention to the battle, said to the three-eyed student who was also eager to try in front of him:
"Cylas, prepare to strike."
"Yes, teacher."
Pilot Selas quickly moved on the display screen next to the bridge, and three eyes glowed slightly in the void, quickly sweeping through the tactical layout that was about to be unfolded.
As the command was issued, the reactor of [Sword of Glory] made a low roar, and the ship's thruster flashed slightly, then accelerated forward, and quickly launched an attack on the defensive array of Kresh Hub.
【Operation is normal, Void Shield is activated, and all systems are ready.】
【1,800 kilometers away from the orbital defense array of Kresh Hub, approaching the attack range--】
The hull vibrated slightly, and the fluctuations of the void shield formed a slight layer of light on the outside, and black glazed glass covered the entire hull.
The railgun in the distance discovered the cruiser and immediately launched an attack.
boom--
boom--
The violent psionic waves hit the void shield without causing any slight waves.
[Number of Void Shield: 4th layer of shield has been activated.
Total shield energy: 100% (initial state)
Current shield strength: First layer shield: Has endured 1 psychic shelling, current strength: 85% (absorbed 80% of attack energy)
Second layer of shield: Strength: 100%
Third layer shield: Strength: 100%
Fourth layer shield: Strength: 100%
Shield recovery time: 30 seconds (if the first layer of shield completely collapses, it will start to recover automatically)]
Faced with the attack of the rail gun, the plasma arc cannons on both sides of the [Sword of Glory] were fired immediately, and the energy in the main turret of the bow of the ship began to be charged. After a few seconds, two dazzling plasma bullets rushed out like huge thunder, cutting through the dark void.
【Target Lock: Kresh Hub Orbital Defense Array--]
[Estimated hit time: 1 second later!]
They rushed to the orbital defense array in the distance, penetrated the shields of several space stations, and produced terrible explosion waves after the explosion. Nearby defense facilities were instantly destroyed, and flames and energy fluctuations swept through thousands of kilometers of space.
Immediately, a series of data flashed on the dashboard inside the bridge, indicating that the first strike was successful.
To be continued...
