Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1008: Speeding up the escape

Long, Sofia and Carlos all followed Alyssa to the artillery position. The fortress was short of manpower, and anyone who was idle had to be pulled into the work.

Hall and Villania followed the space fighter, while the rest of the people were helping the ground crew.

The staff of the fortress knew that the pilot who drove the '13-1' out was from the Swan. Since Fang Lanyin said so, the other party gave up the idea of ​​opening the cockpit and floated away on his own.

Shanafia was still lying on Benben's back, but Benben, the golem with its own small thrusters, was not idle. He was transporting barrels of liquefied magic power over here.

The same thing happened to An Yun. Although she didn't have much strength, she had psychic powers and was able to pull the cart full of ammunition boxes over.

Then he started busying himself with replenishing ammunition and adding liquefied magic power.

"How does this space fighter feel? Is there anything that needs to be modified?"

"Magic power storage pool."

Li Chengxi said without hesitation:
"It's too small. It's not enough."

After all, '13-1' is just an experimental platform, a tool to verify whether the technology can be applied. Its endurance was not taken into consideration when it was originally designed, so it broke down as soon as the light wings were unfolded once.

The fuel tank it uses is no different from that of ordinary space fighters, and is not even as big as the Manta's. It also does not have a compressor with compression magic, and its capacity is pitifully small.

But its consumption is much greater than that of ordinary space fighters, and it has to come back to refuel after just a short flight.

We had just started these tests and improvements today, but we didn't expect an enemy fleet to arrive, so we can only do them while fighting.

Li Chengxi then mentioned a few areas that he hoped could be improved, and then asked Fang Lanyin:
"Have the others returned?"

"No, you are the first one to return."

Physical ammunition is most easily consumed in air combat, but up to now no space fighter has returned for resupply. This is probably because the battle is too intense, and there is no time to even return for resupply.

"Don't refill your physical ammunition yet. I'll set off once I've replenished my magic power."

Refilling liquid magic is simple. Just connect the pipe and use the pressure pump to fill it. But to replenish the ammunition, you have to send it in one by one.

I don't use much physical ammunition, so that's it.

Li Chengxi was a little worried about Villania, as her physical fitness was unlikely to support long-term combat.

As he was speaking, the entire hangar suddenly shook slightly, and the pipes that were being filled with liquefied magic power were straightened a little.

"Hit?"

"I hope not. It's a fortress after all. It shouldn't be that bad, right?"

It was indeed not hit by a bullet. If you zoom out, you will see dense engine lights on the back of the fortress, which are pushing the planetary fortress to slowly accelerate.

The outcome of the air battle between space fighters is not important. What is important is whether they can get rid of the current predicament.

The more than 30 warships of the squadron did not have an advantage in the firefight with the fortress-level firepower. Their role was to entangle the fortress and wait for the main fleet to arrive.

Therefore, the enemy adopted a loose formation to avoid concentrated fire.

At the same time, the fleet started to create smoke from time to time to interfere with the work of the optical aiming equipment on the fortress. Although they were also blocked by the smoke and could not shoot accurately, they just delayed the fortress and did not care about the accuracy.

This move is extremely unethical. The fortress cannot continue to drag on and wait to be besieged.

So seeing that the fleet could not be dealt with in a short period of time, the fortress started its engine, hoping to escape from the fleet's shielding force field and start a jump. But it was estimated that the fleet was unlikely to let it escape like this.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Hall was panting a little. She was trying to calm her breathing to avoid oxygen intoxication and to quiet down the 'over-breathing alarm' in her protective suit.

Although Hall was very confident in her flying skills, she obviously underestimated the situation on the battlefield.

When Hall was in the Star Alliance Army, he participated in low-intensity conflicts such as suppressing pirates. Later, when he joined the recycler team, it was similar. The two sides in the battle had only a few dozen space fighters in total.

However, this time, they dispatched hundreds of aircraft alone, which was a huge scale.

Not only must your eyes accurately identify whether the engine light directly in front of you is an enemy, but you must also frequently glance at the enemy identification radar and pay attention to the rearview mirror to see if there is an enemy plane chasing you from behind.

The consumption of attention and energy is far greater than that of physical strength. No wonder the returning pilots would fall into a coma or even suffer from incontinence. It is truly inhumane.

Pulling the joystick with both hands, Hall moved away from the wreckage of the fighter plane floating in the void, and pressed the red fire button with his finger. With a slight shake of the body of the machine, a string of machine guns mixed with an ion beam blew up a space fighter chasing Villania.

And Villania is almost reaching her physical limit.

It can be seen that the movements are obviously much slower. In the hand of Silver Whirlwind, the shield specially made by Fang Lanyin is already in tatters and it is estimated that it has almost no defensive effect.

Someone should have returned long ago to replenish ammunition and take a short rest, but the battle situation was too intense and there was really no time to go back.

The enemy planes must have given them a death order, requiring them to entangle them, so both sides were engaged in a physical tug-of-war, and whoever couldn't bear it first would die.

And just as they were pulling each other, Li Chengxi's energetic voice was heard from the public channel.

"Hey, hey, hey! I'm going to be hot on horseback!"

Then Hall saw a striking purple-red flash passing quickly from behind, even passing by the radar, and brought up several orange explosion flashes.

This time Li Chengxi learned his lesson. After the light wings were spread out, he said that nothing could be used, at least not before the fuel tank was modified.

Because '13-1' was too conspicuous, it would flash purple-red light like lightning every time it turned. Almost as soon as it appeared on the battlefield, it was immediately surrounded by enemy planes.

In terms of speed, the enemy planes could not catch up at all. Li Chengxi felt like he was driving a train with a string of planes following behind him.

He turned his head to take a quick look, nimbly moved around a piece of battlecruiser wreckage, and then pulled the joystick hard.

Almost at the same time, '13-1' burst into a striking purple-red flash, and it was not a flash, but a continuous pulse flash.

It's like at high speed, there is an invisible hand holding down the body, and the speed is dropping rapidly.

The space fighter chasing behind obviously did not expect Li Chengxi to slow down suddenly. Although some people tried to seize this shooting window to launch machine guns and ion beams, the window was too short and too sudden, making it impossible to aim properly.

Li Chengxi was able to suddenly slow down by relying on the performance of his body, but the space fighters behind him obviously did not have this ability. In the blink of an eye, all the space fighters chasing Li Chengxi ran ahead of him.

Immediately the engine restarted and '13-1' accelerated again.

"This is the Cobra maneuver!"

As the enemy pilots had no idea what Li Chengxi was shouting on the public channel, ion beams were fired continuously, turning the three space fighters that had no time to dodge into flying fireballs, which eventually turned into orange flashes of explosion.
