Chapter 228 Full Firepower [4000] Thanks to the Book Friend ‘Master 8 Ton’ for the Reward

After finishing all the preparations, Zhao Feng glanced at the crew members who were concentrating on their studies, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised and he started the ship-wide broadcast again:

"Attention all crew members, this is the captain. Everyone should take weak hardening agent immediately and fasten their seat belts. The next battle may be bumpy."

After saying that, he turned off the broadcast and focused all his attention on the battlefield.

While Zhao blocked the target, he could only see the starboard side of the battleship, except for the S-type live ammunition weapon used as a close-in defense gun.

All the cannon muzzles moved, pointing at one of the largest void whales.

. . .

At this time, in the center of the battlefield, the battle among the escort fleets had reached a fever pitch.

Commander-in-Chief Omro: "Attention all battleships, give priority to attacking the void whales that are harassing transport ships and industrial ships."

"Destroyer formations 1-5 concentrated fire to attack the corrupted target...Formation 6-11..."

Although the battle situation was extremely fierce, it did not affect the commander's judgment at all.

As a Thanatos, Omro's racial characteristics have the effect of absolute calmness and absolute perseverance.

Although our own warships continued to suffer losses, the war was even more disadvantageous to the naked eye.

But he still turned a blind eye and had no intention of abandoning the transport ship and retreating alone.

Fortunately, Omro's commanding strength is "hard" enough. Even if the weapons and equipment are at a disadvantage, the battle loss ratio is still controlled at around 100:1.

Of course, most of the losses were frigates.

There is no way, only the concentrated fire of the destroyer can cause effective damage to the void whale.

The firepower of those frigates is too weak, so they can only form a group and use their numbers to attract the smaller void whales to create living space and attack opportunities for the destroyer formation.

In addition, the escort fleet was commanded by his four lieutenants, and the gap in command was also large.

The combination of various conditions resulted in such a high battle loss ratio.

Don't look down on Omro despite his high battle damage ratio.

You must know that this is a swarm of void whales. Conventional fleets will either find out in advance and avoid them when encountering them, or they will be destroyed by the group.

Being able to contain them and forcibly kill some of them can already explain a lot of problems.

Adjutant: "Commander-in-Chief, the loss of our frigates has exceeded 35%. Some captains have begun to protest and refuse to execute orders, otherwise..."

After listening to the adjutant's words, Omro glanced at it indifferently.

The adjutant is a jellyfish star, although it is not the same race as the commander-in-chief.

But after following Omro for so many years, it can still understand the captain's eyes.

‘It’s over! Although I don't know what the specific tasks arranged above are, the commander-in-chief obviously means to fight to the end. ’

Thinking of this, the adjutant immediately changed the topic and said: "Otherwise, we should still use the old method of pressing it with "top"?"

After hearing what the adjutant said, Omro had no intention of speaking. His attention seemed to be entirely focused on commanding the fleet.

After marking the fire target again and setting the avoidance position coordinates, he suddenly said:

"Just as you said, how many more places do we have?"

Adjutant: "The right to execute is still..."

Before the adjutant could finish speaking, Omro seemed to have thought of something and interrupted directly:

"Forget it, use them all. The captain who just disobeyed the order will be killed directly."

Upon hearing this, the adjutant immediately saluted and said, "I obey your orders, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief."

Tilting his head, Omro stopped being polite to his old subordinate and focused his attention on the battlefield again.

. . .

As for the power of execution, it is a bit interesting.

Similar to death quota, but with higher authority.

The death quota refers to deaths caused by accidents, while the execution power refers to the authority to kill people.

The two are similar, but there is a little difference.

As for why he can use the power of execution, it is because the commander-in-chief has a higher system official rank, and all the warships under his command have accepted employment agreements.

In this way, if someone fails to obey the leader after signing the agreement, he can deal with them at will, usually with light or heavy punishment.

But now is an emergency period in wartime, so we can use the execution quota to kill some to scare other young people.

And the "old method" mentioned by the adjutant is suppressed by "top".

It is through a certain method to consume some props and issue a mandatory mission to the captains of these battleships.

【Ding! The mandatory mission "Convoy" has been activated. Please try your best to ensure that the transport fleet successfully reaches the Doomsday Barrier. Defection or passive combat will deduct 100-1000 points of merit. 】

[You have signed the employment agreement and the task is effective. 】

[It was detected that 14 frigates were disobeying military orders, and 300 points of merit were deducted. 】

[It was detected that the merits of the 14 frigate captains were all negative, allowing punishment to be imposed. 】

The captains who joined later were stunned for a moment when they saw this system message, and then they saw streams of light flashing around them.

Countless bombardments passed behind a group of battleships and directly destroyed the 14 frigates and destroyers that disobeyed orders.

The light of the explosion reflected on the faces of the captains who joined behind them. At the same time, as the light of the explosion disappeared, their hearts sank.

what to do? What else can be done? If you don’t want to die, just be obedient!

As for rebellion?

Good guy, choose to become a bunch of tentacles or a ball of meat or a deformity?

It would be better to be shot!

In this way, through thunderous means and the tiger skin of the Xinghai system, the commander-in-chief easily suppressed the complaints and dissatisfaction of the captains.

As for saying you don't want to? Want to complain?

Omro doesn't care about that kind of thing at all, as long as he can complete the task, he is willing to use any means.

Of course, he only dealt harshly with those who disturbed the morale of the army or hindered him from completing his mission.

And Omro is not really single-minded. He has already sent a communication request to the direction of the Doomsday Barrier and sent all the information here.

But he has not received any new instructions so far, so he can only persist and kill those captains to scare the monkeys.

The battle continued, and the casualties continued to increase. Although Omro did not say anything about this battle, he already knew the outcome in his heart.

As expected, his fleet will be completely destroyed in 1-2 hours.

Compared to the total destruction of the escort fleet, he was actually more concerned about what happened to the Doomsday Fortress.

You must know that no matter how fierce the battle on the front line is, there has never been a communication interruption in the giant city of Doomsday Barrier, never.

Just when he frowned deeper and deeper, he couldn't get the reply he wanted at all.

A horrifying cry from the soul spread throughout the battlefield.

Amid this terrifying wailing sound, a large number of frigates could only block about 50%-60% of mental attacks because their shields were too small.

The pilots and even captains who control the frigates have insufficient mental values ​​and cannot pass the mental test.

They were all knocked unconscious by this "spiritual shock".

Thousands of frigates simply stalled in the space environment and turned into pieces of scrap metal.

Among them, the luckier ones drifted farther and farther along with the inertia, while the unlucky ones dazzled directly into the mouth of the void whale.

As for destroyers, they are slightly better. The shield level is strong enough and can basically resist 80%-90% of mental damage.

After all, they are in a "juvenile" state, and their mental attacks are still too weak compared to adult "void whales".

For an adult void whale, there would be no need for such trouble.

What else to fight? Just call them out, and if another 100 convoys of this quality arrive, their lives will be lost in an instant.

At this time, Commander-in-Chief Omro, who was on the cruiser-class support aircraft carrier [Stone Coral], rubbed his ears and looked in the direction from which the "howling" came.

I saw that the largest void whale in the group of whales, which was always floating on the periphery, was somehow blown up and half of its body was lost.

Seeing this, Omro's eyes couldn't help but light up. He didn't care where the attack came from. He just wanted to seize this opportunity and get out of the fleet's predicament.

That’s right, get out of trouble!

You must know that void whales are social creatures that live in groups after all, and if there is a social system, there will inevitably be leaders and classes.

Just like a flock of sheep has a "leader" and a pack of wolves has a "lead wolf".

The void whales also have their own "head whales", and the head whale is usually the largest and strongest one in the group of whales. It usually does not take action personally.

In most cases, the "head whale" plays a commanding role.

If they can be killed instantly, the primitive social system and instincts of these void whales will inevitably allow them to immediately select new "head whales" from the current group of whales.

By then, not only will their formations be disrupted, but their cooperation will no longer be able to maintain the same degree of advance and retreat as they do now to cover each other.

It will undergo a brief internal division until a new "head whale" takes over the group of whales.

And that was his chance to make a comeback.

Omro didn't do that before because he didn't have the chance, but it's different now.

Looking at the half-disabled "head whale", he decisively ordered:

"The entire destroyer formation will pause main gun charging, cancel the current target lock, check the time of the entire formation, recharge in 10 seconds, and focus on the big guy!"

Ten seconds passed in this chaotic battlefield. Ten seconds later, 1,400 destroyers and 2,912 M-type live ammunition main guns spewed out various colors of flames and projectiles.

The flames that instantly erupted from the muzzles of thousands of cannons illuminated the entire sky.

Even in a vacuum environment, the members in each battleship seemed to hear a majestic roar.

Thousands of projectiles flying at five ten thousandths of the speed of light arrive at such a short distance in the blink of an eye.

In the expectant eyes of the captains in the escort fleet, an incredible scene happened.

That guy, at some point, he rolled up a fellow creature and stood in front of him.

All the attacks were directed at the same race.

Thousands of mass bullets and armor-piercing bullets easily killed the "Shield" on the spot.

The exploding "corruption cloud" had no time to spread before being sucked away by the seriously injured "head whale".

At the same time, the injuries on its body are also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The granulations twisted and overlapped, covering one layer after another. Then the outermost layer of granulations quickly scabbed and shriveled, turning into a pale epidermis like skin.

And the guy's eyes looking over here were full of disdain.

"Tentacle? This guy is about to advance to "Youth"!?" Omro, who had always been expressionless, could not help but change his color slightly at this time.

‘Are you going to destroy the group? ’ Although he had already come to a conclusion in his mind, Omro was still not slow in issuing orders.

Yes, destroy the group!

The Thanatos people are famous for accepting death. If they do not receive new instructions or new tasks, Omro, a member of the Thanatos clan, will never engage in any curve strategy or strategic retreat.

Fight to the death, defend to the end, and fight to the last battleship is his "Way of Ninja".

. . .

Let’s not mention for the moment how the aliens fought back on their deathbed.

Zhao Feng's starboard salvo just now got him what he wanted.

(Tip: Entering combat status, scanning hostile biological information...)

(Scanning completed, the information is as follows.)

(The Void Whale's weaknesses: pupils, brain, and mental attacks stronger than it.)

(The method to avoid evil pollution, that is, corruption pollution: kill instantly with one hit.)

(Spreading clouds of corruption can be destroyed with high-energy plasma blasts.)

(Note: Avoid close combat whenever possible.)

(Void whale: a creature from the Evil God universe, dedicated to biological warfare. The purpose is to change the cosmic environment to make it more suitable for the creatures from the Evil God universe.)

‘High energy plasma? Isn't that the space battleship version of the flamethrower? ’

Thinking of this, he glanced at the Void Whale's weaknesses and how to solve the corruption.

After a while, Zhao Feng smacked his lips and decided not to play around and kill the big guy first.

As for its action of devouring its own kind to speed up recovery, Zhao Feng didn't take it to heart at all.

You must know that the attack just now, placed in the online game LOL, can only be regarded as a flat A for the male gun at best.

But even if it was a flat A, it was hard to kill the "head whale".

After obtaining the corresponding information, Zhao Feng will then use more powerful "skills" in a targeted manner.

This will ensure that the next attack can "kill instantly".

The "skill" he chose was the mid-level gunnery skill that only captains with a comprehensive warship assessment score of 93 or above can display.

"Crash Combo".

The so-called "fire combo" can be understood as the two consecutive shots fired by archers in some online games.

It's the kind of thing where two arrows are shot one after another, so that the arrow shot from behind can accurately hit the arrow in front, resulting in an attack bonus effect.

For naval guns, this effect can be achieved by fine-tuning the charging energy level.

Of course, it is not as easy for a battleship to perform this technique as it is for archers in some online games.

If the artillery shells collide in mid-air, you don't need to think about it to know that the result will either explode in the air or be forcibly changed from the original attack trajectory.

Not to mention increasing the power, even simply hitting the target may be a problem.

Therefore, the skills required for naval guns to perform "collision fire combos" are more sophisticated.

First of all, two cannonballs will not collide in mid-air.

But at the moment when the first shell hits the target, the second shell also hits the tail of the first special shell.

Two barrels, two shells, two trajectories, finally overlapped and hit a location with the same direction of force.

When two projectiles collide, the time difference cannot exceed one thousandth of a second.

In this way, the kinetic energy of the two shells can be superimposed together, instantly bursting out 5-10 times the power and armor-piercing ability.
