Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1667: Battle of Broken Horn (11)

"Shields destroyed, reloading."

"The port side is damaged, damage control is processing it."

"Torpedo hit confirmed, damage minor."

A series of reports mixed with the constant vibration of the ship made Alyssa smack her lips.

Damn, these guys really won’t be fooled.

The Red Maple Republic Fleet has been maintaining a defensive formation, and the attacks on the cruising fleet have also been maintained. It is sufficient to be able to cope with this level.

The defense against the reactor jammer has not been relaxed at all and is still surrounded as thick as an iron barrel.

In this situation, even if the main fleet concentrated its firepower desperately, it would still be difficult to damage the reactor jammer at all.

Keep moving forward?

Alyssa knew that this was a suicide mission, but she did not object because it was the option with the highest success rate.

And now, even if it was a suicide attack, the Red Maple Republic Fleet still did not reveal any flaws. If they continued to get closer, it would not be a suicide mission, but suicide in the literal sense.

Being afraid of death and committing death in vain are two different things. Continuing to close the distance will only cause your losses to continue to increase significantly.

What's more, the Swan's ammunition was almost exhausted.

The supply was not full to begin with, and after continuous fierce fighting, the ammunition consumption increased sharply. The Swan's railgun secondary gun ammunition had reached the danger line, and the Light Lance main gun had also consumed a lot of energy due to continuous firing. The engine room just sent a warning that the energy had reached the red line.

In other words, both energy and ammunition will be exhausted.

Even the specially modified Swan could not withstand it, let alone ordinary cruise ships, which were either destroyed or silenced.

The carrier-based aircraft did not return as originally planned, but rushed directly into the fleet. This move was unexpected and did have a certain effect, but it was still far from enough.

Now, perhaps only one-third of the fleet that has rushed in is left, and total annihilation is imminent.

We can't delay any longer. Alyssa stretched out her hand and operated, trying to contact other formation commanders. We must evacuate after recovering the carrier-based aircraft.

At this time, An Yun suddenly reported:

"Ultra-high energy reaction detected!"

Alyssa hurried to look at the star map, and a mass marked in red appeared inside the main fleet of the Red Maple Republic.

At the same time, an intense bright light also appeared on the bridge, completely blocking the view through the glass of the bridge.

The light of destruction flashed only for a moment, and then the brightness dropped. Alyssa had seen this pattern before.

"Did Li Chengxi use a nuclear bomb?"

"Unknown, we can't contact him."

Even if we fail to make contact to confirm, the sound and light effect is unmistakable.

But unlike every time Li Chengxi acted on his own, this time Alyssa said loudly:

"here you go!"

The horrific destructive power of nuclear bombs made Alyssa very worried, fearing that such weapons would spread.

But at this critical moment, the nuclear bomb exploded inside the Red Maple Republic fleet, which would create a large-scale gap and give the main fleet a good opportunity to attack and react to the passing jammer.

However, just as she finished her words, the Swan began to vibrate violently, and the vaporized matter spread in all directions with the explosion point as the center, and the wreckage of the warship that was originally quietly floating in front was also pushed.

However, since the Swan was located far away from the center of the explosion and the power of a nuclear explosion in the void was far less than that in a gravity environment, it was merely a violent shock and would not threaten the survival of the battleship.

Almost at the same time as the vibration appeared, a beeping tone sounded on the communication platform, and Villania said:
"The fleet command has ordered us to immediately recover our carrier-based aircraft and retreat."

This retreat order was definitely not because Li Chengxi used a nuclear bomb. Considering the delay in long-distance communications in the void, it is very likely that the message was sent before the nuclear bomb was launched.

The fleet command also knew that Alyssa and her team's assault did not have the desired effect, so they ordered a retreat.

Every chess piece on the battlefield can be consumed, but the consumption must be valuable. Continuing to charge forward would be a waste of life.

But the retreat order at this time made Alyssa realize that the situation might not be as simple as not wanting the cruiser formation to be sent away. All cruiser formations received the order, the fleet began to turn, and issued a retreat signal.

After Alyssa finished what she was supposed to do, she immediately turned on the optical sighting equipment and looked at the center of the explosion.

The dense formation of the Red Maple Republic fleet seemed to have been dug out, revealing a huge hole. Even if the surrounding warships were not destroyed, they were all damaged and scattered, making it impossible to maintain the formation.

But when Alyssa zoomed out, she found that the effect of this nuclear explosion was not fatal.

It's too far out in the periphery. If it could be detonated in the center of the fleet, the effect would be much better than it is now.

However, Alyssa also knew that even Li Chengxi could not rush too deep into such a large fleet, unless he descended as a saint directly.

And perhaps it was true that Cao Cao would appear as soon as he was mentioned. Li Chengxi's voice rang out on the bridge:

"Would you like a midnight snack? I microwaved some kebabs."

"..."

Still no tension as always.

"Shouldn't you be driving the machine back now? How do you have time for a midnight snack?"

"No need to return. The damage to the aircraft is too severe."

That should also be destroyed to prevent technology leakage.

Alyssa was about to say this when suddenly an extremely dazzling flash of light appeared on the bridge again.

Two shots?

That’s not right. Doesn’t Li Chengxi only have one nuclear bomb?
"Come to think of it, I haven't told you before."

Against the backdrop of the flash of the nuclear bomb, Li Chengxi said:

"My body is a nuclear power machine, and it is a nuclear bomb in itself."

The second flash of light penetrated deeper into the fleet than the first. According to the range of the high-energy explosion reaction at An Yun's mark, it was almost right next to the reactor jammer.

But Alyssa looked at it and couldn’t help shaking her head, almost.

If they could advance a little further, they would be able to bring the reactor jammer into the explosion range. Even if they couldn't destroy it, they would at least damage it.

But now this range can only be said to be a temporary tear open, with the capabilities of the Red Maple Republic Fleet, this hole will be blocked in a few minutes.

It seems that the last nuclear bomb did not play a key role.

"don’t worry."

Li Chengxi said:

"I saw something else before the self-destruction. I think it should be the back-up plan of the Whirlpool Federation."

Alyssa also knew that the Whirlpool Federation would not have any idea of ​​how to defend against such a troublesome target as the reactor jammer, but this was top secret, and she didn't know what to do.

As the flash of the nuclear explosion disappeared, the vibration came again, causing the equipment and images on the bridge to become distorted.

EMP can have devastating consequences for electronic equipment, but Alyssa and the others are using magical technology, so it's just a momentary strong interference.

As the radar screen distorted, Alyssa suddenly saw several green friendly marks suddenly appear above the Red Maple Republic fleet as if by teleportation.

This couldn't be a jump, because when the fleet was engaging in an artillery battle, a force field would be deployed to prevent jumps. Whether escaping or entering, it would be impossible to get that close.

When the image stabilized, Alyssa confirmed that it was not an equipment error, and there were indeed several friendly ships there.

It's a wave absorber!

This word popped up in Alyssa's mind. The wave absorber invented by Grandpa Villania had been handed over to the Water Spinning Federation a long time ago, but they had not equipped it on ships on a large scale. Alyssa thought that the Water Spinning Federation wanted to fully verify the effect of the wave absorber before making any decision.

It now seems that the Whirlpool Federation is using the wave absorber as its trump card.

Then Alyssa turned the viewfinder, and almost at the same time, several thick spiral ion beams shot down like piercing through the stars, accurately hitting the reactor jammer.

No wonder the Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent Cannon was not seen in the main fleet of the Xuanshui Federation. It turns out that they kept it for ambush!
