1139: Chapter 625, Against the Wind Game_2 1139: Chapter 625, Against the Wind Game_2 We might as well attack the small ships.
Destroying an Escort Ship reduces the opponentâs barriers; taking down a cruiser lessens their firepower a bit.
This type of change is indeed effective.
The Mechanical Fleet began to incur losses.
Even if some small ships are destroyed, it still counts as a loss.
However, under the same conditions, the Alliance lost even more small ships.
Because the opponent is attacking in the same way.
Besides, the Alliance has other attempts: Interstellar Warriors.
Although there is no Spiritual Energy to assist in teleportation, itâs impossible to quickly, smoothly, and reliably reach enemy ships.
Nevertheless, Spiritual Transmission was never the only way for boarding operations.
Without Spiritual Energy, it doesnât mean boarding canât be done.
In fact, a considerable number of battle groups, their Think Tanks do not have the ability to perform large-scale transportation, but how has everyone still managed to fight wars like this?
Boarding ships, boarding torpedoes, boarding podsâŠ
these more traditional methods can still be used.
Whatâs more, the Alliance also has a Zuger-class aircraft carrier in the field.
This giant ship can also play a significant role in landing operations.
The Alliance is doing just that.
The New Age Torch is volunteering, even though they lost over two hundred people in the battle against Alamita, they are still willing to take the lead, knowing that in the current disadvantaged naval battle, conducting boarding actions would result in great sacrifices, theyâre still all in.
Wang Mengsongâs previous actions eased the relations between the Redemption Camp and the new battle groups, allowing some of the old Torchâs thoughts and culture to be accepted, making tactics not as reckless.
However, the thought trend of âwashing away sins with sacrificeâ derived from the entire group has not changed.
Furyflame has similar thoughts, just not as intense as the Torch.
They are also volunteering.
Yelisia approved their strike but did not let them fully mobilize.
Try it first.
Gu Hangâs current attention is mostly on the subspace confrontation.
Itâs quite good that he can spare a moment to look at the naval battle situation, as he cannot put in the effort to make decisions.
Otherwise, the balance in the Storm God Kingdomâs confrontation might be disrupted, which would be a significant loss.
Stripping Gu Hang of Spiritual Energy means that from a naval command standpoint, Gu Hang is not the expert, and it should be left to Yelisia.
The New Age Torch and Furyflame battle groups each deployed two hundred warriors for boarding.
Meanwhile, she also activated her high clearance and utilized another hidden force: the Shadow Battle Group created with Phoenix Seeds.
She naturally does not know what the Shadow Battle Group is, no matter how much Gu Hang trusts her, such things are impossible to disclose.
Nonetheless, it doesnât hinder Gu Hang from telling her itâs just a powerful force, much stronger on average than the other two battle groups, which can be utilized when necessary.
And the fact is indeed so.
The potential limitation brought by Genetic Seeds limits the proportion of company champions in the Furyflame and New Age Torch battle groups, created with âInferior Infinite Warrior Seeds,â to only 2% to 3%; while the Phoenix Seedâs proportion can hover between 10% to 15%.
Within this Shadow Battle Group, the number of company champions reached over a hundred people, fully capable of forming a champion company.
Yelisia did not really deploy them.
Losing such a troop during boarding operations would be too painful.
She only deployed 200 people, including a normal proportion of twenty champions.
Six hundred Interstellar Warriors gathered in batches on various warships, boarded the landing ships and boarding torpedoes, and were launched out.
In the initial stage of flying through space, the risk is relatively low.
Being far away, small, and unlike Light Spear, missiles, or Colossal Cannon with such noise, itâs not easy to be detected and intercepted from a distance.
However, after they had flown over more than half of the battlefield and were about to enter the enemyâs focused short-range firepower intercept area, the Eagle Horse made its move.
Before this, its presence was quite low, mostly just releasing Qilin Fighters, cooperating with its fleetâs firepower targets, attacking some cruisers, and destroyers, to create some disruption.
Dragon Elephant War Machines, or even those suicidal patrol ships, must yield results when released, otherwise, itâs a loss.
But in previous battles, opportunities were hard to come by.
But now it was time for it to shine.
The target was set directly at the two Dragon-serpent-class battlecruisers of the Mechanical Sect Ships.
These two warships were exactly the boarding targets for the Interstellar Warriors.
The Eagle Horse launched a patrol ship and over twenty fighters of various classes next to these targets respectively.
Once in place, these deployed forces unleashed full firepower, disregarding the threats from the Escort Ships and the battlecruisers themselves, doing their best to pour out their firepower.
The damage caused was quite clear.
Especially when thrown in their face, some firepower could bypass the Void Shield and directly hit the ships.
Each of the two Dragon-serpent-class battlecruisers took quite a few substantial hits.
However, they couldnât blow up the ships, which was a pity, and it wouldnât dramatically affect the battle.
At this moment, the boarding torpedoes of the Interstellar Warriors arrived one after another.
The ships and fighters deployed by the aircraft carrier, while causing damage, were less important; the key was the surprise attack to disrupt the enemy shipsâ positioning and attract attention.
They achieved their goal after all.
When boarding torpedoes and landing ships arrived, the enemyâs intercepting firepower didnât play out effectively, being distracted by the ships earlier deployed by the aircraft carrier, and itâs unable to redirect firepower in time to intercept these boarding torpedoes or ships adequately.
The boarding vehicles deployed were in a significant quantity.
Among them, quite a few contained no personnel or only a few Army or Navy Marine Corps members.
To put it bluntly, they indeed served as cannon fodder.
If they managed to board successfully, they would work together with the Interstellar Warriors to provide assistance.
But their main role was to serve as distractions during the boarding vehiclesâ flight process.
At most, only one-tenth of the boarding vehicles had Interstellar Warriors; the rest were either empty or filled with cannon fodder.
Even though the enemyâs short-range firepower was drawn away, still a third of the boarding vehicles were destroyed.
Since the flight trajectories and formations of the boarding vehicles were specially arranged, most of those destroyed were actually the cannon fodder.
Overall, the Interstellar Warriors sacrificed during the boarding process did not exceed a hundred, about seventy to eighty in number.
Those remaining almost all completed boarding.
The boarding torpedoes and ships crashed hard into the ships.
The Interstellar Warriors and some surviving âcannon fodderâ Marine Soldiers rushed inside the ships and engaged in combat with the Protection Army within these two Dragon-serpent-class battlecruisers.
As they fought, they began to sense something amiss.
The enemy was not merely the Protection Army.
As previously mentioned in reports, entities with both biological and mechanical modifications were all present.
These monsters were still not opponents for the Interstellar Warriors and were eventually defeated.
However, not all Interstellar Warriors managed to achieve their combat objectives.
They were, of course, not there to seize the ships, as conditions for capturing vessels were non-existent at the moment.
They were there to bring down the ships.
Whether by destroying the shipâs bridge, which acts as the brain, depriving it of its command center, or disabling the engine section, rendering the ship motionless, or even by detonating ammo and fuel stores, destroying the vessel from withinâŠ
the goal was to render the ship incapable of combat.
And it needs to be quick, taking one or two days to achieve provides no meaning as the naval battle would reach its end phase or even finish by then.
