Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1004 Catapult Deck
The royalists can mobilize a fleet to confront the most elite regular army, but that does not mean that this fleet can be on standby at all times.

After rescuing the princess, the royalist fleet had already been broken up and dispersed, and had to be reassembled when needed.

And since ultra-long-distance communication is impossible, there is no way to immediately get reinforcements if the base is attacked.

The few remaining warships in the base immediately set sail and tried to destroy the squadron as quickly as possible under the cover of the base's own firepower.

As the war was in progress, all unnecessary lights were turned off, and Alyssa found a seat to sit down with the help of emergency lights.

The hydraulic press pushed the seat and the gun position into the firing position. Almost at the same time, the gunnery chief immediately sent artillery guidance information.

That’s right, Alyssa is working part-time as a gunner again.

After all, they are now on the same boat. If the royalist base is surrounded and attacked by the fleet, Alyssa will not be able to escape and will probably be killed as well.

Originally, Alyssa wanted to use the Swan to attack, and she could run away if the situation really went wrong. However, the attack came neither earlier nor later, but just when the Swan was beginning to be modified, and now there is no way for her to leave the port.

So Alyssa came in to act as a gunner, as the royalists did not have enough manpower.

The royalist planetary fortress looks majestic, but it is actually not yet completed. Only the main structure has been built, but a large number of gun positions, personnel, and many equipment have not been installed. It can only exert at most 30% of its designed combat power.

Alyssa controlled the auxiliary gun position and looked out through the glass that had just turned transparent. The huge shield swayed left and right under the bombardment of the main gun, giving people a strong optical illusion. It felt like it was shaking even though there was no vibration.

This is also one of the reasons why Alyssa doesn't want to get involved. It is not known whether the royalists can respect the king and punish the traitors, but they will definitely be hunted down and weakened.

After taking a look at the situation outside, Alyssa quickly calibrated the shooting parameters. At this time, the attack order from the artillery chief appeared on the screen below the joystick.

Against the dark background of the universe, densely packed tiny engine lights appeared near the battleship's huge engine light, and it was obvious at a glance that a space fighter had been released.

The gun position next door opened fire first. Alyssa knew that it was a test aiming, because Long was in the gun position next to her and he knew her habits too well.

But then again, the situation is very grim.

The royalist base is mobile, with an oversized main engine that can propel the planetary fortress to navigate, and can even consume astronomical amounts of energy to make a jump.

But the problem is that as long as the squadron is still entangled, neither escape nor jump can be achieved. The planetary fortress that cannot exert its full combat power will find it difficult to destroy the squadron in a short period of time. The squadron only needs to entangle it and wait for the main force to arrive, and it really doesn't take much time.

Now it's a race against time to see who can achieve the goal first, otherwise there will be no possibility of escape.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The few remaining warships in the planetary fortress have left the port and immediately deployed a circular attack position near the planetary fortress, relying on the planetary fortress's defense to launch an artillery battle with the squadron.

But the fortress did not become deserted because of the warships leaving the port. Instead, it became even more lively.

The huge airlock door, about 50 meters long and wide, was lifted up, and the green membrane airlock was also activated at the same time. A large number of mechanics, ground crew members and communicators were busy in the hangar.

Hall sat in the cockpit of the space fighter, his fingers quickly clicking on the buttons and panels at hand, doing the final checks before takeoff.

Hall chose to join Alyssa's army and was not a royalist, but she was a pilot after all, and now all those who could go to the battlefield were needed to move, so she had no choice but to board a space fighter.

A ground crew member knocked on Hall's window, pointed down, and made a gesture to indicate that your space fighter has been inspected and can go to the waiting position.

A tractor used in a microgravity environment dragged Hall and the space fighter out of the hangar, and ground crew members quickly hooked the ejection hook to the bottom of the space fighter, ready to take off at any time.

A large number of space fighters were lined up in four rows and carried out electromagnetic catapults in turn according to the instructions of air traffic control.

Since the hangar is a confined space, the engine cannot be started here, otherwise the large amount of heat will burn the ground crew to death, so the space fighter needs to be launched by electromagnetic catapult first, and then the engine is started by inertial kinetic energy. Hall came out relatively late, basically in the last row.

On her left was a magical mecha. She remembered it was the Silver Cyclone from the Swan, and its pilot was Vilania from the Storm Kingdom.

Honestly, Hall didn't think Villania could be a pilot. She hadn't received professional driving training, wasn't physically fit, and didn't have any military skills. Such a person should still be on a training plane in the regular army, not driving an expensive magic mecha into battle.

However, she has just joined Alyssa's team, so it is not easy to point fingers at her. I can only say that I hope she can come back alive.

On Hall's right is a flying machine that is clearly different from other space fighters.

It looks like an inverted Y, with no personal paint on the matte black paint, like a new product just out of the factory.

She completed her flight checks and tapped the side of her helmet to access the nearest communications channel.

"The ammunition has been replenished, but is it really okay to remove the speed limiter like this?"

"It doesn't matter. That thing is just a seal."

"Even you said it was a fierce horse. Wouldn't it be harder to control without a speed limiter?"

"Trust me, I'll get used to it if I try more."

The conversation between Fang Lanyin and Li Chengxi came through the communication.

If this was said by a pilot under Hall, she would definitely scold him harshly. Flying an unfamiliar space fighter into the battlefield was not a good way to seek death.

But the driver Li Chengxi is too awesome.

The most important reason why Hall was willing to join Alyssa's team was that he wanted to learn Li Chengxi's driving skills. The one who is close to the water gets the moon first.

But I have to say that Li Chengxi is too mysterious.

Hall had never seen Li Chengxi in the past few days. Every time he asked Alyssa and the others about it, they remained silent and mysterious, as if this person did not exist at all.

Of course, after all, we are still in the royalist base, and Li Chengxi’s existence cannot be mentioned casually.

This also resulted in Hall's attempt to find Li Chengxi to communicate never being realized.

The cockpit glass of the space fighter activated the light filtering mode, and from the outside the cockpit was completely dark and nothing could be seen.

This mode is usually automatically activated to prevent strong light. It can be activated at normal times, but it will make the vision worse, so generally no pilot will do this.

But how the pilot flies is his own business, and I'm happy with it.

So Hall had no way of seeing what the people inside the cockpit looked like.

Immediately afterwards, Hall saw Fang Lanyin popping out from the other side of the space fighter and floating backwards quickly.

"Since you are sure, then fine. It's a pity that time is too tight, otherwise we could have made some modifications."

"I'll study the modification when I get back. We'll be leaving soon."

Hall, who was listening to the communication, turned around and saw the light above the airlock door turn from red to green. Then, starting with the space fighters in the front row, they catapulted into the void one by one...
