Chapter 2189: Chapter 2182: Desperate Counterattack

“How long will it take for Aurelia’s fleet to arrive?”Jiang Fei asked.
“I have yet to establish contact with the main fleet!”Clark’s words poured cold water on Jiang Fei. Although it was affected by the radiation of the star, it caused some interference in the communication, however, the inability to establish contact meant that Aurelia’s fleet was at least outside the star system.
“Looks like I can’t count on her to play the role of a beauty saving a hero…”Jiang Fei frowned and prepared for the worst.
“General, the enemy is about to catch up to us. Should we turn around and set up a formation?”Clark asked.
At this moment, Griffin’s fleet was about to put them within range. If they continued to move forward, they would definitely be exposed to the enemy from behind. When that happened, they would be pursued and attacked. In that case, it would be better to turn around and fight, at least when they were attacked, they would still have the ability to fight back.
“HMM…”Jiang Fei pondered for a moment. If he turned around now, although he could fight the enemy, the difference in strength between the enemy and himself was too great. It was practically suicide to fight.
“Do I have to do it?”Jiang Fei’s brain was calculating rapidly. Based on the current situation, it seemed that other than him using his powerful strength to delay the enemy, there was no other way to protect his fleet, there was no other way to protect his fleet.
“General! Lord Aurelia has sent a message. They have arrived in the galaxy. They will enter the stellar gravity well in about 15 minutes!”At that moment, Clark sent a piece of exciting news.
“15 minutes?”Jiang Fei’s eyes lit up. To be honest, as his strength increased, although he had the ability to single-handedly take on an entire fleet, the more he did so.., the more he did not want to single-handedly slaughter the entire fleet. It was as if there was a force guiding him. It told him that the more ma.s.sacres he caused, the closer he was to the abyss of destruction.
Therefore, other than attacking the “Player”fleet, Jiang Fei was not willing to destroy the enemy’s battles.h.i.+p with his own hands. After the “Player”‘s battles.h.i.+p was destroyed.., there would not be any casualties. The only “Dead”people would be a few “Players.”Moreover, they were not really dead.
However, on a normal battles.h.i.+p, even a small frigate would have hundreds of crew members. If it was a main s.h.i.+p, the crew members would be in the Order of 100,000. Therefore, if a fleet was destroyed.., the number of casualties would be in the Order of a million!
“Everyone stop moving forward. Turn around and prepare to face the enemy!”Jiang Fei ordered loudly. Since Aurelia’s fleet would arrive in about ten minutes, he had nothing to worry about.
Although there was a huge difference in strength between the enemy and himself, the enemy’s fleet was three to four times larger than his own. However, it would be a Fool’s dream to destroy a fleet of four to five hundred wars.h.i.+ps in less than ten minutes!
“Yes, my Lord!”Clark immediately sent Jiang Fei’s order to the entire fleet. The Imperial Army’s battles.h.i.+ps immediately turned around and lined up in a defensive formation, waiting for the enemy to arrive.
..
“My lord, they’re not running anymore!”At this moment, the resistance fleet also noticed Jiang Fei’s movement.
“It’s even better if they’re not running anymore! All main cannons, Charge! Prepare to attack!”Griffin ordered.
“Yes!”Following Griffin’s order, the entire rebel army fleet was also prepared for battle. As they advanced, they charged their main cannons. Once the enemy was within range.., they would take revenge for their comrades who had died because of the missiles and air mines.
“Entering range in four seconds!”
“Entering range in three seconds!”
At this moment, the soldiers in Griffin’s fleet were counting down in their hearts. On one hand, they wanted to take revenge for their allies. On the other hand, the honor of killing the enemy’s grand marshal was also waving at them!
..
“Grand Marshal, the enemy is about to enter the firing range. Should we take the initiative to attack?”Clark asked. After all, the range of the imperial army was not as far as the resistance. They used light beams or pulse weapons, on the other hand, they used cheap automatic cannons.
If they were to defend pa.s.sively, they would be in a pa.s.sive situation.
“No need to attack. Tell the brown bear fleet at the front to turn off their weapon systems and channel all their energy into the s.h.i.+eld,”Jiang Fei ordered.
“Yes!”Clark nodded. It was obvious that Jiang Fei wanted to use the brown bears as sandbags. These heavy cruisers with thick skin could indeed take a lot of damage.
“Get the starchild-cla.s.s robot cruiser in the middle to release the nanorobots now. Prepare to repair the brown bears!”Jiang Fei gave the second order.
“Grand Marshal, let us Charge!”
“Yes! It’s so frustrating to be beaten up like this!”
..
Soon, the captains of the Brown Bears fleet sent out communications requesting to fight. As the main force of the imperial army, they had always been at the forefront. They had almost fought the enemy battles.h.i.+ps in close combat. Now, they were left to be sandbags, of course, they were not willing to give up.
“Carry out the order!”Jiang Fei’s face turned serious. They were currently in the gravity well of the star. The speed of the s.h.i.+p had been greatly affected. Although they had relied on the annihilator type 2 advance engine.., it was possible for the brown bear fleet to break into the enemy’s formation. However, the problem was that the stars.h.i.+p-cla.s.s robot cruisers behind them could not keep up.
The stars.h.i.+p’s movement speed was not fast. Under the influence of the gravity well of the star, their speed was even slower. It was impossible for them to catch up with the brown bear fleet that had activated the annihilator type 2 advance engine, by the time they reached the battlefield, the brown bears would have already been killed.
However, if the brown bears held their ground, even though their automatic cannons could not kill the enemy, with the timely maintenance of the stars.h.i.+ps, they could hold on for a long time. With these brown bears at the front, they would be able to withstand the firepower, then, the wars.h.i.+ps at the back would be safe.
Moreover, at this moment, Jiang Fei was not without any advantage over Griffin. At this moment, Griffin’s fleet had already exhausted all the antimatter under the radiation of the star. Other than using the conventional main cannons to attack.., no super weapon could be used. As for Jiang Fei’s fleet, although the antimatter of the other s.h.i.+ps had been destroyed, the Donov cla.s.s battlecruiser had a lot of inventory. After it activated its quantum magnetic field.., the stars.h.i.+p could use its antimatter energy to drive the robots to repair the damaged friendly battles.h.i.+ps. The martha-cla.s.s dreadnought and the javelin-cla.s.s missile frigates under Jiang Fei could also act as firepower support.
“Boom, Boom, boom…”as soon as they entered the firing range, the resistance fired ten thousand cannons simultaneously. All the main cannons of all the s.h.i.+ps were firing, including the auxiliary cruisers that were using their own main cannons that were not very powerful, as their antimatter was exhausted, they did not have any auxiliary abilities. Now, they could not even perform as well as the heavy frigates.
