Chapter 1084: Bandit Suppression Fleet
The artillery fire in the void slightly illuminated the dark star field. The physical artillery fire roared silently, and shells flew towards each other at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"Continue to concentrate your firepower and aim at the damaged destroyer."

Although the opposing force was a three-ship formation, pirates were pirates. Their combat proficiency and fighting will were completely incomparable to those of regular troops.

It's like when you are being beaten up by a group of people. No matter how many people are around you, just pick the weakest one and kick him hard.

The dazzling blue shield light projected through the glass of the bridge. Alyssa glanced at the Swan's shield value. It could still hold up for now, but the pirates' artillery was becoming more and more accurate.

Even though it was an old ship and its onboard computer was underpowered, it should have been able to calibrate all the firing parameters after taking a series of hits.

"Visually confirmed torpedo explosion, one hit."

"Take this opportunity now to pitch down at a 20-degree angle and evade the enemy."

Anyway, the enemy had more people and we only had one ship, the Swan. Due to its poor performance, it was hit at the beginning, but soon the enemy's artillery became more and more accurate, so we could not continue to bombard it.

Only one of the 12 torpedoes hit the target, which was actually a very lucky hit rate. Even if it hit, it would be blocked by the shield and would not have much effect.

What is needed is that the torpedo reaches the predetermined position and explodes to temporarily shield the Swan.

From the outside, the Swan looked like it had dived into the water and continued to make a zigzag evasive maneuver.

This adjustment of the course was very necessary, and it was obvious that the density of artillery fire aimed at the Swan had been reduced a lot.

Shooting at a constant speed is actually no different from shooting at a stationary position. In this regard, the Swan's firepower density is far inferior to that of the enemy.

However, if the two sides are not on the same coordinate axis, the other side not only needs to readjust the ship's posture to aim at the Swan, but also needs to recalibrate the shooting parameters due to the large tilt of the posture.

That's right. This is to take advantage of the poor performance of their shipboard computers. While they haven't adjusted yet, use the Swan's advanced calibration system to fire a few shots. Seeing that the other side has also calibrated, we will maneuver at a large angle to force them to recalibrate.

This trick is quite effective against pirates' old and dilapidated ships.

Moreover, the Swan always kept its sights on a damaged pirate ship, and most of its firepower was directed at it. It was also the one that was hit by a torpedo just now.

Less than five minutes after the battle began, one of the pirate destroyers was on the verge of destruction.

Alyssa relaxed a little when she saw this. Normally, when the pirates saw that they could not gain any advantage, they should hold their fire and retreat. The Swan certainly would not chase them because it did not have enough fuel.

Most of the time when encountering pirates, the main strategy is to expel them. After all, Alyssa is now driving the Swan, not her own starship, so it is unlikely that she can keep all three opposing ships.

At this moment, An Yun, who was looking at the radar, suddenly said:
"A new ship signal appeared on the radar, within visual range."

Alyssa immediately called up the viewfinder screen and turned to the location reported by An Yun.

A destroyer had already appeared there, and with a twist, two frigates appeared.

Villania, who served as a correspondent, also said at this time:

"The automatic answering machine shows that they are warships belonging to the Star Alliance Army."

We have entered the territory of the Xuanshui Federation. Is it normal to have the Star Cluster Joint Army here?

Of course it's normal.

The Xuanshui Federation is now at war with the Red Maple Republic. The fleet originally stationed there has been mobilized. In addition, the void is too vast, and the dark star fields between galaxies are too large. It is impossible to maintain the patrol intensity of peacetime in a state of war.

This is also why there are more pirates recently.

But in order to ensure the smooth flow of routes, people are needed to patrol and suppress bandits, and this is where the Star Cluster Joint Forces come into play.

They do not participate in wars between member states within the alliance, but that does not mean they cannot suppress bandits. One destroyer and two frigates, this is also a standard bandit suppression formation.

The pirates are scattered and small-scale. Sending a large fleet over there is simply like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito. Besides, the Xuanshui Federation will not allow a large fleet that is not under its control to appear on its territory.

Therefore, the Star Cluster Joint Army will appear in small formations with sufficient combat power, wide coverage, and flexible mobility.

It was a good thing to see the regular army while fighting pirates, but for some reason Alyssa had a bad feeling.

"Send the identification code and establish communication with the Star Cluster Alliance Army."

"No, there's no response except from the automatic answering machine."

Villania listened with headphones:
"The Star Alliance Army broadcast on the public channel, saying that according to the emergency laws of the Whirlpool Federation, they have begun to eliminate the pirates."

Alyssa’s bad feeling became clearer and clearer.

A group of pirates who came to fight without saying a word, and the Star Alliance Army that suddenly appeared with a legitimate reason...

Alyssa's scalp tingled:
"Half speed, turn left and sail downward!"

Carlos immediately adjusted the pitch angle and engine output and turned the rudder.

The Swan, which was originally flying in a Z-shaped evasive flight, suddenly turned sharply downward, looking like a half-turn in the air and diving.

The previous course adjustments were all very smooth, but this time it was extremely rough. This was due to the high maneuverability of the light cruiser. If it were other warships, it would take a lot of time just to turn.

Almost at the same time as completing the acrobatic maneuver, Long reported:

"The main gun charging signal has been detected, and the trajectory prediction shows it's us!"

"There is still no response from the Star Cluster Joint Forces warship. It is unclear whether the identification signal has been received."

Alyssa grabbed the armrest of the captain’s seat and couldn’t help but curse:

"This is a fucking trap!"

Let the pirates block the Swan's route, and when the battle is going on, the Star Cluster Alliance will jump out with a legitimate reason to suppress the pirates.

what?
You said the Swan is not a bandit?

That's not up to you.

Even if it is exposed in the future, the Star Cluster Alliance can still say that we did not receive the identification signal and the transceiver is broken. Yes, I said it was broken, it is broken, if you don't believe me, check it out.

But by that time, I'm afraid Alyssa may have passed several anniversary of her death...

It was obvious that the artillery fire of the Star Cluster Alliance was much more accurate than that of the pirates. The Swan maintained a left turn and sailed downward. Several times, the huge beam of the main gun could be seen flying past. And this was just a test aiming. The Star Cluster Alliance's shipboard computer was not comparable to that of the pirates, and the speed of calibrating the shooting parameters was extremely fast.

"Throw a smoke screen!"

The hatch at the rear of the Swan opened, and large tanks were sprayed out with high-pressure gas, which soon exploded into a thick wall of smoke.

Evasive navigation is enough to deal with pirates, but smoke screens are not very reliable against the Star Alliance Army.

Perhaps the main gun was recharging energy, and the next moment the beams from the triple-mounted secondary guns pierced through the smoke wall, and one of the shots hit the Swan's belly, causing the shield energy to drop significantly.
