Chapter 137 What is burning money? A round of firepower covers the attack and burns 160,000 mineral crystals [Second Watch · Request from pre-order all pre-orders] (Ch 137)

Two horrifying Tyrant plasma pulse energy beams hit the energy shields of two T3 Blood Elf-class light star battleships, shining with a dazzling light.
Then, the energy shields of the two starships shattered at the same time after holding on for a few seconds.
Boom! Two Tyrant plasma pulse energy beams hit the hulls of two T3 Blood Elf-class light interstellar battleships.
Boom! Then, a beam of fire shot up into the sky.
A T3 Blood Elf-class light interstellar battleship was destroyed by a single shot in full view of everyone.
“Report…T3 Blood Elf-class light interstellar battleship 023 was directly hit by the main gun energy core, causing multiple compartments to explode continuously.
The ship exploded directly…” the secretary next to him reported.
Commander Duke Zangwill took a deep breath and looked at another starship emitting black smoke next to the exploding and burning starship.
It can be clearly seen that a huge arc-shaped hole was directly cut on the port side armor of this starship, spreading across half of the hull.
“What’s the situation with Ship 022?” Commander Duke Zangwill asked in a deep voice.
The secretary replied: “Ship 022, the energy shield is exhausted. The main gun on the bow is destroyed, five secondary guns are unusable, and many anti-aircraft guns and ordinary platoons are destroyed.
In addition, the port side armor was pierced in several places, and several compartments in the armor were directly exposed to space, but these compartments have been sealed. It is estimated that there are no less than 30 elven soldiers killed or injured. ”
Commander Duke Zangwill clenched his fists, his expression serious: “That means one ship was destroyed and the other was severely damaged.”
“Yes.” The secretary nodded.
Commander Duke Zangwill raised his hand and zoomed in on the picture of the interstellar battleship, examining it carefully.
“What kind of interstellar battleship is this? Even a T3 heavy interstellar battleship cannot have such power…”
It has to be admitted that Commander Duke Zangwill was shocked by this interstellar battleship.
He knew in advance that this interstellar battleship was very powerful, after all, it was a heavy ship.
In terms of volume, it is nearly twice as large as the Blood Elf-class light interstellar battleship, but who would have thought that it could actually hit the target with one shot!
With just one shot, it can instantly kill a starship of the same technological level and type.
“Your Excellency Commander Duke, the captains of the T3 Blood Elf-class light interstellar battleships and T3 Kaguya-class light interstellar destroyers ahead have sent in communications.
Next, can we ask for assistance from the interstellar fighters in the rear?” the secretary asked cautiously.
It can be seen from the interrogation behavior that the scene that just hit the soul has already caused fear in the hearts of these elven captains.
“What are you afraid of? They have no energy shield. Even if she is a heavy interstellar battleship, so what? Order all starships to aim at the starship on the left and shoot it down!” Commander Duke Zangwill shouted angrily.
This is the strategic plan he formulated, and the second line of defense is still being set up.
The remaining starships and interstellar fighters are prepared for the second line of defense and must not be used at this time!
The secretary passed the order on.
Those T3 Blood Elf-class light interstellar battleships and T3 Kaguya-class light interstellar destroyers could only continue to perform their missions helplessly.
They agreed with each other that when the next main gun salvo would be fired, they would all attack one of the enemy ships and do their best to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy starship.
In that way, at least they can reduce their own casualties.
Tyrant-class heavy interstellar battleship No. 1 bridge “Warning, alarm! The starboard side of the ship is under attack!”
“Warning, warning! A gun position has been destroyed.”
“Warning, warning! The damage to the port side armor of the ship has reached 39%.”
“Warning, warning! The overall damage to the ship’s armor has reached 35%. One of the pulse main guns cannot be used.”
Boom, boom, boom. On the bridge, Rona could feel the continuous hail of bullets outside, but she remained calm and collected.
She was waiting…waiting for a time.
Rona suddenly shouted: “Restart the energy shield!”
After hearing Rona’s order, the deputy captain repeated the order without saying a word: “Captain’s order, restart the energy shield immediately! Quick! Quick!”
On the other side of the communication video, Captain Miao Ya of the No. 2 ship also gave the order to restart the energy shield.
“The energy shield system is restarting. It will take thirty seconds! 30…29…28…”
“Report, the enemy’s T3 Blood Elf-class light interstellar battleship’s main gun is detected to be about to be fully charged!”
“Report, we have detected that several enemy starship main guns have locked onto our ship as an attack target!”
News came one after another.
Especially the last one, which made the female soldiers on the bridge nervous.
Without an energy shield, being targeted by so many main guns would be like being fired at in full force.
No matter how thick the armor of their T3 Tyrant-class heavy interstellar battleships is, they will at least suffer heavy damage!
The deputy captain looked at Captain Rona nervously, but she found that Captain Rona did not give any instructions now. She just stood there calmly, her eyes as bright as torches!
Time passes by little by little.
The time required to restart the energy shield is also slowly decreasing.
However, the main guns of the enemy starships also began to flash life-threatening lights.
“Report, enemy ship’s main gun attack detected, prepare for collision!” The female soldier sounded the siren.
This siren is telling everyone to hold on to anything around them to stabilize their bodies as much as possible, because there will be a violent collision next.
Rona clutched the captain’s chair behind her tightly.
Her eyes widened as big as copper bells, staring at the time when the energy shield would restart.
“Report, several enemy ships’ main gun-level attacks detected!”
At this moment, if you were in the star field, you would definitely see such a scene.
Dozens of various light beams and artillery fire were shooting towards one direction in different orders, but their target was the interstellar battleship on the opposite side!
Several beams of light fell towards the T3 Tyrant-class heavy interstellar battleship like a meteor shower.
With a loud bang, the entire bridge seemed to have hit a meteorite.
Cracks appeared on the bridge glass.
But the female soldiers knew better that there would be torrential attacks later.
However, a few seconds later, in addition to the sound of the explosion coming from my ears, there was also a vibration that was much milder than the previous one.
“Report, the energy shield has been activated! The energy shield has been attacked, and the remaining 43%… the remaining 39%…”
The remaining strength of the energy shield is decreasing at an alarming rate.
But this was a surprise to everyone.
Because, at the last moment, they still managed to hold on until the energy shield was activated, and they were only hit by a bombardment.
Some female soldiers have already started crying for joy. At that moment, they felt as if they had walked through the gates of hell.
Rona’s clenched fist loosened, and five bloody cuts could be seen on her palm, left by her nails piercing her palm.
“Report the damage to the starship.” Rona asked calmly.
The deputy captain was delighted and immediately resumed his work, reporting the current situation to Captain Rona.
“The damage to the port side of the ship reached 45%, and a huge crack appeared in a compartment, but fortunately the personnel had been evacuated before that.
The starboard side armor of the ship was damaged by 31%, and cracks were found in several compartments, which have been sealed.
The frontal armor of the ship was damaged by 36%, and four compartments were damaged and sealed.
The remaining armor suffered less than 10% damage.
The overall damage level of the ship’s armor reached 29%, three pulse main guns were unusable, nine pulse secondary guns were unusable, five anti-aircraft laser guns were damaged, and thirty-two ordinary gun positions were damaged.
The number of casualties is still being counted.
The bridge glass was damaged by 29%.
The energy shield currently has 19% remaining, and has reached the red alert range.”
After reporting all this, the deputy captain breathed a sigh of relief. Captain Rona’s operation was really beyond her limits!
“Captain Rona, how is your ship doing!” The communication, which had been briefly interrupted due to being hit on the bridge, was now restored.
Captain Miao Ya looked nervously at Rona across from her.
Rona smiled and said, “It’s no big deal. After we survive this wave, these little bastards won’t be a threat to us anymore.
In the next wave, all secondary guns, aim at the remaining two Blood Elf-class light interstellar battleships that are still capable of fighting; ignore the other one that has lost its main gun for now.”
“Yes!” Captain Miao Ya looked at Rona with admiration. She hesitated for a moment and looked at Captain Rona: “Captain Rona, the damage to your starship has reached the level that the commander has requested to evacuate to the second echelon in the rear…”
“The commander said before that a general is not subject to the king’s orders when he is away from home.” Rona showed a self-deprecating expression: “Not long, when the time comes, I will go to the commander’s bedroom and warm the bed to apologize.”
Pupupu, several female officers couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
This is not an apology at all, this is clearly an attempt to take advantage. If this is an apology, they would all be happy to do it.
“Okay, just complete this mission honestly. I’ll treat you to a drink later.”
“We don’t want to drink with you. If we have to drink, we should drink with the commander.”
“Yes, if I drink with the commander, I can drink three glasses in a row!”
“What’s the point of just drinking? If you drink with the Commander, you have to play some games, maybe the King’s Game or something like that… hehehe.”
Aqiu Sunhe sneezed on the flagship in the distance. He had a feeling that someone was talking about him behind his back, and it was a very bad feeling.
He looked at the battlefield in the distance. Under Rona’s tactical arrangement, the subsequent battle situation would be very simple.
A round of main gun attacks by the T3 Blood Elf-class light star battleship and the T3 Kaguya-class light star destroyer did not directly destroy or severely damage the Tyrant-class heavy star battleship.
What awaits them is a devastating blow.
First there was a round of attack from the Storm main gun.
It directly destroyed a T3 Blood Elf-class light interstellar battleship that had already lost its energy shield, and then pierced the energy shield of another T3 Blood Elf-class light interstellar battleship, the only intact one so far, causing some damage to its hull.
Then, the horrific scene happened again.
Tyrant plasma pulse main cannon!
However, the target chosen this time was not the remaining two T3 Blood Elf-class light interstellar battleships, but the T3 Kaguya-class light interstellar destroyer.
For these star destroyers, which have thinner skins than star battleships, it goes without saying that their fate is simple.
Two T3 Kaguya-class light star destroyers were directly hit by one shot.
In this way, the confrontation lasted for more than ten minutes.
There are basically no serious problems with the two T3 Tyrant-class heavy interstellar battleships, except that the energy shield of the No. 1 ship has reached its limit, and the energy shield of the No. 2 ship is generally insufficient.
The hull of Ship No. 1 was damaged by 30%, and the hull of Ship No. 2 was damaged by about 20%.
On the other hand, look at this small fleet of elves.
Three T3 Kaguya-class light star destroyers, two T3 Blood Elf-class light star battleships that were severely damaged and lost their main guns, and one T3 Blood Elf-class light star battleship that lost its energy shield.
The elven fleet launched another round of attack.
This time, the energy shield on Rona’s T3 Tyrant-class heavy interstellar battleship was completely exhausted, and the remaining attacks caused some damage to the hull.
Fortunately, the No. 2 ship took the initiative to move to the front and resisted a lot of damage, so that the No. 1 ship did not have too many problems. The overall damage to the ship’s armor reached 46%.
The subsequent counterattack of the main and secondary guns directly scrapped the three T3 Blood Elf-class light interstellar battleships, and the two Tyrant main guns turned the two T3 Kaguya-class light interstellar destroyers into shining “new stars”.
There was only one T3 Kaguya-class light interstellar destroyer left, shivering there like a lamb.
At the same time, the Storm-class light interstellar battlecruisers and Griffin-class heavy interstellar destroyers advancing at full speed on both sides have already crushed the battle line to the front of the main fleet of the elves.
Cleared all obstacles for the second echelon in the rear!
And at this time, Commander Duke Zangwill’s second line of defense had only been deployed to less than half.
Even some transport ships were shuttling through the elven fleet.
Bridge of the Phoenix-class aircraft carrier Qingyuan: “Report, the enemy front has entered the fire coverage of our Death Storm-class heavy interstellar missile ship!” the female soldier reported.
“It’s time to give them a big one.” Sun He waved his hand and said, “20 Death Storm-class heavy interstellar missile ships will carry out two rounds of firepower coverage strikes on this area, with 200 units of magnetic storm missiles per ship in each round.”
“Understood!” Tang Yuan conveyed Commander Sun He’s order.
The missile launchers on the decks of 20 Death Storm-class heavy interstellar missile ships were opened in unison.
“One ship launches 200 units of magnetic storm missiles. With 20 ships, a total of 4,000 magnetic storm missiles will be launched in this round, and each missile costs 40 units of crystal ore.
This round of firepower coverage strike directly destroyed 160,000 units of crystal ore!
We still have to fight two more rounds… that means 320,000 units of crystal ore…” Secretary Qiao Rongrong felt as if her breathing was about to stop at this moment.
This thing… is really too expensive.
“Fire!”
Following an order from the captains of 20 T2 Death Storm-class heavy interstellar missile ships, 4,000 magnetic storm missiles rained down on the Elf fleet’s second line of defense, which was full of loopholes.
This time, Commander Duke Zangwill in the distance finally understood what kind of enemy he was facing.
