Chapter 2188: Chapter 2181: killing intent determined
Translator: 54969033
After being attacked by the gravity mines, the fleet could not help but slow down. After all, no captain would want their battleship to crash into the air mines.
The gravity mines were small in size and were not easy to be detected by the ship’s radar. In addition, they were equipped with a phase camouflage system. Therefore, ordinary battleships would not be able to detect the presence of the air mines even if they passed by.
However, just because you could not detect the air mines did not mean that the air mines would not be able to detect you. Once you entered the locked area of the air mines, the gravity mines would jump out by themselves and charge at you crazily!
“Boom!”A tussauk biter became the first unlucky person under the gravity mines.
This type of small warship was the lightest frigate under the Vasari fleet system. They usually acted as a harassing and surprise attack role, although their firepower was slightly weaker, they could use the nano-corrosive robots they carried to destroy the outer shell of the enemy’s ship.
However, although the super-light frigate was agile and fast, its weakness was also very obvious. It was fragile! This type of character, which could be said to be killed in one shot, would not even have the chance to react when they encountered gravitational air mines. They would be directly blown into a pile of scrap metal.
“Boom Boom Boom...”explosions rang out one after another. Because Griffin’s fleet was very large, almost covering the entire flight path, these air mines were triggered one after another.
“General, the air mines ahead are very dense!”Because there were explosions everywhere, the adjutant naturally thought that the enemy had placed a large number of gravity mines.
“Huh? !”Griffin’s brows were tightly furrowed, as a veteran fleet commander, ordinary tricks could not be hidden from his eyes. Although there were explosions of gravitational air mines everywhere, the problem was that Griffin’s fleet did not suffer too much damage, other than a dozen unlucky ultralight frigates that were destroyed, the other warships that encountered gravitational air mines did not suffer much damage.
If a cruiser-class warship encountered a single air mine, the most it could do was weaken its shield energy. A heavy frigate like the Lavasa wrestler only suffered minor damage to its hull, it did not even need to activate its body reassembly. It could only rely on the bio-metal’s self-repair ability to deal with it.
As the fleet had only suffered such a small loss, Griffin could tell at a glance that Jiang Fei was bluffing.
“Order all ships to maintain maximum speed. Ignore the gravity mines!”Griffin ordered.
“Yes!”Although the captains were trembling in fear, they could only carry out the orders given by Griffin.
One by one, the gravity mines were detonated. However, they were unable to cause any damage to Griffin’s battleship. Therefore, the captains slowly let their guard down.
At the back, Griffin’s fleet only moved the ultralight frigate to the back of the fleet, while the other battleships continued to pursue at high speed.
“Boom!”But at this time, a group of gravity mines suddenly appeared on one of the Suwen overseers, and it exploded into a sky full of fireworks!
Although this was only a support cruiser, it was still a medium-sized cruiser. If it was killed in one hit, then if the other support cruisers and frigates encountered a group of air mines.., would they end up well?
“Boom!”At this moment, the second wave of lightning was detonated. The unlucky one this time was a galas enforcer. This heavy cruiser was the most durable warship in the Vassali fleet system, other than Titan and the main fleet, it was the most durable warship.
However, fifty lightning bolts exploded at the same time. This was something that even the galas enforcer could not withstand. Although it was fully armored and full of shields, in such a violent explosion, the galas enforcer was instantly destroyed!
“Oh no! The enemy’s air mines have been strengthened!”This thought flashed through the minds of almost all the captains.
“Boom... boom...”the air mines were detonated one after another. This caused Griffin’s fleet to lose four to five battleships at once. Although it was not a large number.., however, these air mines had an extremely strong deterrent effect.
At this moment, a shadow appeared in the hearts of all the officers and soldiers of Griffin’s fleet. No one knew if they would be the next to be affected. No one wanted to die without knowing why, so the speed of the fleet once again decreased.
“Damn it!”Griffin was very clear that the imperial army’s ability to deploy air mines was limited. However, he was also very clear that if they wanted to rush forward and capture the imperial army’s commander-in-chief, then someone had to sacrifice and someone had to collide with the mines.
But the problem was, who was willing to sacrifice themselves?
Although Griffin’s order was to give chase at full speed, those captains had plenty of excuses if they wanted to delay. For example, if a meteorite appeared in front of their own battleship, or if there were fragments of the battleship after the explosion that needed to be avoided.
Therefore, although Griffin was burning with anxiety, those captains were acting behind the scenes. No one was willing to collide with the mines. Although there were a small number of captains who were willing to die for Griffin, the navigation route was so wide. How could they possibly go through all of it? As long as there were no battleships passing by, the timid captains would not go through. They would rather turn around and take a detour. They would rather go through the place where others passed by. If that was the case, it would be a miracle if the fleet could increase their speed.
Especially when Jiang Fei’s gravitational space thunder was very wicked. Sometimes, it was dense and sometimes it was loose. After a few waves of air thunder had passed by, everyone finally realized that there were not many air thunder. Most of the sea route was safe, therefore, when the captains were about to increase their speed, a large area of air mines exploded.
Although the explosion of such a large area of air mines was not very powerful, it was very intimidating. As soon as the flames of the explosion appeared, the timid captains immediately reduced their increased speed, therefore, Griffin was so angry that his eyes were burning with anger. However, the speed of the fleet was not fast at all.
Seeing that the gravity distortion of the ANTECO marauders was about to end, but the fleet was still twice as far away from the imperial army as the main fleet, Griffin was so anxious that he almost went crazy.
“Order all the main fleet to charge forward! The other warships follow behind the main fleet!”Griffin was really anxious, he took the risk of the flagship being attacked on the spot and directly ordered all the main fleet to charge forward. In this way, even if they were attacked by gravitational air mines, with the strong defensive ability of the main fleet, they would not be destroyed.
Moreover, the main ships were huge. With them charging at the front, the warships at the back would be able to move forward in peace. They would not have to worry about escaping air mines.
Using the last bit of gravity distortion time, Griffin’s fleet suddenly accelerated. In an instant, they had closed the distance between them and Jiang Fei’s fleet. In another minute, they would be able to bring the imperial army into their firing range.
At this time, the flustered Griffin no longer wanted to capture Jiang Fei alive. He wanted to destroy the entire Imperial Army’s fleet!
