MMORPG: The Almighty Ring Chapter 2185

Chapter 2185: Chapter 2178 was in crisis

Translator: 549690339

An overwhelming number of drones were released. Although the production speed of drone aircraft carriers was very fast, each drone aircraft carrier could only operate two drone squadrons due to the limited bandwidth of the drones, therefore, even if they loaded more drones, they could only temporarily stop in the hangar. After the drones involved in the battle were destroyed, they would fly to meet the enemy.

After leaving the drone fleet behind, Jiang Fei’s fleet began to move forward. As they were in the gravity well of the star, the speed of Jiang Fei’s fleet was greatly affected, their flying speed was only 30% of their normal speed.

After six minutes, although Jiang Fei’s fleet’s speed was affected, they had already flown far away. At the very least, they had already exceeded the range of the main cannon of the main s.h.i.+p.

“Whoos.h.!.+”A light flashed and a resistance battles.h.i.+p leaped out from the dimensional s.p.a.ce.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh…”a large number of resistance battles.h.i.+ps completed the dimensional jump and arrived at the star’s gravity well.

“Attack!”At the same time, Clark also gave the order to attack.

“Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh…”

“Boom Boom Boom…”

A large number of drones began to attack. The cl.u.s.ter missiles fired by the bombers posed a great threat to the resistance battles.h.i.+ps that had just completed the warp jump and had not had the time to activate their s.h.i.+elds. After a few rounds of attacks, more than ten heavy patrols of the resistance were destroyed, and more than ten frigates and light patrols were sunk.

Even the Lavasa fighters, who had the strongest survivability on the battlefield, and s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps like the Garas Enforcers were not spared. Because they had just completed their warping, their main engines still had to be activated, at this time, they could not activate the reconfiguration function, so they could only watch as the enemy’s missiles tore them into pieces.

“d.a.m.n it! Restore the s.h.i.+elds and engines as soon as possible!”Griffin ordered, although they had suffered some losses, these losses were nothing in his eyes. After all, the enemy had arrived first. They would definitely be attacked when they warped here.

A few minutes later, Griffin’s fleet regained their mobility, and the s.h.i.+elds had been fully activated. Although they had paid the price of nearly 100 wars.h.i.+ps during this period of time.., however, for a fleet of more than 1,500 wars.h.i.+ps, this kind of loss was nothing at all.

Moreover, not far ahead was the imperial army’s Grand Marshal’s s.h.i.+p. If they sunk it or captured the grand marshal of the Imperial Army, then no matter how much Griffin’s fleet suffered, he could completely accept it.

“Full force a.s.sault! Chase after them!”Griffin immediately gave the order.

“Yes! General!”The fleet quickly began to carry out Griffin’s orders, at the same time, their s.h.i.+p-borne drones also began to be released. Otherwise, just the anti-air firepower of the frigate alone would not be able to stop the swarm of drones from hara.s.sing them.

In s.p.a.ce, the drones of both sides engaged in a desperate battle. The Imperial Army’s bombers desperately wanted to rush to the vicinity of the battles.h.i.+ps to release their missiles. Meanwhile, the rebel army’s fighters also desperately bit the tails of those bombers, they were trying their best to destroy them before they launched an attack.

The Imperial Army’s escort fighters were not idle either. They were pestering the rebel fighters to buy time for their own bombers to attack.

“Bang! Bang! Bang…”whether it was the imperial army’s drones or the rebel’s drones.., both sides suffered heavy losses. Around the rebel fleet, there were fireworks everywhere, and one drone after another was destroyed.

However, because the resistance had the advantage in the number of wars.h.i.+ps, coupled with the fact that they had the support of the frigates, their drone losses were far less than the imperial army’s.

However, Jiang Fei could not care less about the losses now. He ordered the drone carriers under his command to go into full production. Batch after batch of drones were released. They did not seek to kill the enemy, but only to delay the enemy’s progress, he wanted to delay until the reinforcements from Aurelia arrived.

Therefore, wave after wave of imperial army drones rushed to the front line. They were all killed. After that, a new batch of drones rushed forward!

In war, sometimes, what was fought was consumed. What was fought was money. However, because the universe empire had the foundation of the Merchant Alliance, they indeed had a lot of money. Therefore, the drones were not at all painful to be used as consumables, on the contrary, it was the resistance that could not take it anymore. Although the Imperial Army’s drones had been destroyed far more than theirs, Griffin really felt heartache.

Because the Vasari Army’s rules were private military systems, which meant that this fleet was Griffin’s own business. Every time a drone was consumed, every bit of energy that was consumed, it would be at Griffin’s own expense.

Therefore, towards the end, Griffin began to give orders to use air defense frigates to destroy those imperial army drones as much as possible, and reduce the usage of the drones.

“Sir, the enemy has always kept a distance from us. It will be very difficult for us to catch up with them.”The Adjutant reported. If it was just a few drones, then Griffin’s battle merits would not even be enough for the fleet’s fuel money, not to mention the more than 100 wars.h.i.+ps that they had lost previously.

“Order the ANTECO Marauders to activate the Gravity Distortion!”Griffin ordered.

“Yes!”The adjutant immediately relayed his order.

The ANTECO Marauders were a type of auxiliary main force s.h.i.+p of the Vasari Legion. However, this auxiliary main force s.h.i.+p could not increase the attack and defense of the Allied fleet. It was loaded with a large amount of s.p.a.ce and force field equipment, it could forcefully send an allied or enemy s.h.i.+p into the phase s.p.a.ce at a critical moment.

Once the s.h.i.+p entered the phase s.p.a.ce, it naturally could not attack, nor could it be attacked. It was equivalent to temporarily blocking out the battlefield, this ability allowed the ANTECO marauders to not only save an ally s.h.i.+p that was about to be destroyed at the critical moment, but also forcefully remove the enemy’s key s.h.i.+p from the battlefield, creating an advantage for the Allies.

The ANTECO Marauders’other ability was the gravity distortion that Griffin mentioned. This ability could change the gravity lines around the ANTECO Marauders, allowing the friendly s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps to be unaffected by the planet’s gravity and travel at normal speeds, moreover, it could also be immune to the obstacles of the warp interference devices and perform s.p.a.ce jumps at any time.

Very quickly, the two ANTECO Marauders that received the order activated the gravity distortion. A powerful gravity field spread out, enveloping the entire resistance fleet.

For a time, the effect of the stellar gravity well on the resistance fleet had disappeared by more than half. Although the radiation was still depleting the antimatter in the main s.h.i.+p, the effect of gravity was no longer affected. Griffin’s fleet could now move forward at full speed.

This way, Jiang Fei’s pressure was coming on. Under the influence of the stellar gravity well, his fleet could only maintain a speed of 30% while Griffin’s fleet could move at full speed. In that case.., it would not be long before the enemy’s fleet caught up to them.

Once they were within the range of the resistance fleet, the four to five hundred wars.h.i.+ps under Jiang Fei’s command would not be a match for Griffin’s ma.s.sive fleet.
