Chapter 2122 - 2122 Ambush, Ambush, and Ambush Again

2122 Ambush, Ambush, and Ambush Again

Different from the previous vibration pulse cannons fired before, there was a vibranium warhead in the core of each pulse cannon this time.

The four vibration pulse cannon blasts, which contained solid warheads, pierced the donut battles.h.i.+ps’ protective s.h.i.+elds and hit the power cores of the four battles.h.i.+ps.

There was the sound of minor explosions, and most of the systems on the four battles.h.i.+ps suddenly shut down.

Apart from emergency generators which allowed some basic functions to retain power, the donut battles.h.i.+ps could no longer open fire or move at high speeds, and were practically iron coffins.

The Ursa Minor battles.h.i.+ps immediately turned around and attacked the other donut battles.h.i.+ps, ignoring the four battles.h.i.+ps that could become their most intact spoils of war.

However, several battles.h.i.+ps in Thanos’s fleet fired at the four vibration pulse cannons.

There was a rumbling sound, and sparks erupted in the air.

The four floating gun turrets, which Luke jokingly called ‘disposable cannons,’ only had time to fire once before they were turned into cosmic dust.

Since they were for one-time use, they naturally didn’t have any defenses, and were much less mobile than the battles.h.i.+ps.

In fact, this floating gun turret was a very simple combination of energy + cannon + moving platform.

It was Luke who had injected them with Vibration.

His knockoff version of the ability wasn’t as exaggerated as Skye’s, and couldn’t be used on a large scale, much less completely shatter a battles.h.i.+p’s protective s.h.i.+eld.

But with a boost from the vibranium warhead, it wasn’t a problem to break through the protective s.h.i.+eld.

After the vibranium warhead pierced the outer hull of the enemy s.h.i.+p, it released Luke’s unique shock wave attack to complete a second explosion inside, thus increasing its lethality.

Thus, the four vibranium warheads which Luke had personally fired were a 3-in-1 combo which broke the s.h.i.+eld, pierced the hull, and exploded.

The gun turrets were hence comparable to Sherman tanks.

At that moment, there were less than 30 large battles.h.i.+ps left in Thanos’s fleet.

Luke still had 80 battles.h.i.+ps left — basically all the ones piloted by Ursa Minor’s A and B Teams had been lost in two rounds, which added up to 50 battles.h.i.+ps.

However, Wakanda’s most elite vibranium battles.h.i.+ps had yet to be deployed, so the damage ratio was still acceptable.

Under the cover provided by Luke and Ursa Minor, Thor wasn’t turned into a roast chicken. He roared and charged into a second donut battles.h.i.+p.

This unlucky s.h.i.+p had no choice but to move in his direction to avoid Ursa Minor’s frantic barrage, and wound up a few kilometers away from the donut battles.h.i.+p that Thor had destroyed.

This distance instantly disappeared under Thor’s feet.

He was much more familiar with the s.h.i.+p’s layout this time. After breaking open the hull and charging inside, he headed straight for the main control room.

Lightning erupted in the hallways. The battles.h.i.+p immediately stopped moving with purpose and simply drifted in s.p.a.ce.

Elsewhere, the Knight clone was wandering around again, and found another battles.h.i.+p that was about to explode.

This time, it was a donut battles.h.i.+p.

In other words, amidst the battle, the clone had already reached the edge of Thanos’s fleet.

Luke followed the donut battles.h.i.+p patiently for about a minute, counting down to the moment it exploded.

He took out four floating gun turrets in seconds, and only needed two seconds to fire.

As for calculating the trajectory, the suit’s A.I. program had already locked onto the target, and the information was swiftly inputted into the floating turrets.

As soon as Luke gave the order to open fire, he sped up like crazy and could no longer maintain maximum stealth.

That was because in the first second after the four floating turrets appeared, more than 100 auxiliary cannons on the two closest battles.h.i.+ps fired.

Thanos wouldn’t be caught off guard a second time.

Luke dared to take a second risk, or rather, dared to pull this ‘hit and run’ a second time, basically because he had an inventory cheat.

Even so, many of the auxiliary cannons of Thanos’s fleet were already prepared to teach this ‘chicken thief’ a lesson.

From the beginning of the battle until now, Earth’s army had relied on surprise attacks to gain the upper hand initially, and just barely maintained it.

No matter how stupid Thanos’s fleet was, it would now be more wary of surprise attacks.

Cannon fire chased after Knight, and he was soon hit by a blast and sent flying.

After that, Thanos’s fleet no longer had the opportunity to chase after Knight.

This second sneak attack by the clone had successfully stopped two s.h.i.+ps and damaged one. It also drew the attention of several battles.h.i.+ps.

Seizing this opportunity, Ursa Minor B Team counterattacked wildly.

Although the enemy s.h.i.+ps weren’t shot down again, Ursa Minor successfully delayed them and forced them to give up on chasing Knight.

At that moment, apart from Thanos’s own wars.h.i.+p, there were only 22 large battles.h.i.+ps left.

All of Ursa Minor B Team had switched to at least a third batch of battles.h.i.+ps. Those with less luck were already operating a fifth battles.h.i.+p.

Thanks to their efforts, Thor blew up fighter planes on the other side and charged at a fourth battles.h.i.+p.

The Knight clone was sent flying, and left the center of the battle.

Studying the situation on the battlefield, Luke asked Frank, “Since Thor is here, how about we ambush Thanos?”

Frank frowned. “That’s more dangerous. Try to choose team members who have better survival skills.”

Luke chuckled. “Thor, Big Dipper, Bastet, Deadpool and me should be enough.”

Frank was surprised. “Are you sure Bastet will be alright?”

Luke said, “Don’t worry, she’s much stronger than the others.”

After getting this answer, Frank didn’t probe further into Selina’s abilities.

The abilities of the Bat Squad members were a private matter.

Since the beginning, Selina had never mentioned what her abilities were. After becoming Director Selina, she basically used the android whenever she appeared, which was why Frank was only finding this out now.

He immediately began to plan for the aftermath of the ambush.

If the ambush succeeded, Earth’s allied forces would press home the attack and completely destroy the enemy.

If the ambush failed, the army would have to go all out.

In either case, a perfect contingency plan was required to achieve maximum results.

Luke felt a little helpless.

Thanks to his arrangements, Director Selina had always been a slacker.

Even though she was obsessed with upholding justice, there were few a.s.signments that she absolutely had to take on personally.

But in this attack on Thanos, she had made a rare request to personally take part, and had a very good reason for it — Luke had finally made her a fancy nanosuit.
