Chapter 2190: 2183 had no mana left, yet he still dared to show off like this?

“Boom Boom Boom...”the cannon fire from the resistance directly hit the brown bear-class heavy cruiser at the front row, causing the protective shields of the brown bears to instantly shatter, and the hull of the cruiser was also blasted into flames.
Fortunately, the dunov-class battlecruiser at the rear had already activated its quantum magnetic field, so even if the starships didn’t have antimatter, they could still rely on Dunov’s long-range power supply to repair these brown bears.
With the starships’powerful repair ability, the brown bears, which were poorly made but had thick skin, survived the first round of bombardment. Moreover, when the resistance fleet was charging their main cannons.., the heavily damaged armor shell was quickly repaired.
“Very good! Looks like it can hold on!”Jiang Fei was confident, as long as the enemy could not destroy the brown bears with one round of bombardment, with the starships’powerful repair ability, the enemy would not be able to break through the blockade and deal a devastating blow to the fragile warships behind them.
“Clark, activate the missile barrage!”Jiang Fei gave the order to attack. Although the automatic cannons of the brown bears could not reach the enemy, the missile barrage of the martha-class dreadnought could already deal damage.
Moreover, with the brown bears in front of them, Griffin’s fleet could not focus fire on the martha-class dreadnought at all. This created a good environment for it to deal damage.
At the same time, the javelin-class missile frigates at the rear also began to attack. Although these frigates were fragile and almost all of them died in one shot, they were equipped with a multi-shot missile array that could unleash a very strong firepower.
Especially when they were equipped with cluster warheads, the power of these missiles was extraordinary. They could even deal effective damage to heavy patrols.
Generally, on the battlefield, the javelin-class missile frigates were the first priority targets. Their lethality was terrifying, but they were extremely fragile. If they were not killed immediately.., then their lethality would be even more terrifying than heavy patrols.
But now, Griffin’s fleet could not attack these missile frigates at all because their attack path was blocked by a group of brown bears with thick skin. At this time, the flaw of the energy weapon was also revealed.
Although the directional energy weapons had a long range and were powerful, they could not turn! The attack path was blocked by a group of brown bears with thick skin that were constantly being repaired. This made it impossible for Griffin’s fleet to attack other enemy ships.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...”a rain of missiles hit the sky. Sixty percent of them came from the missile cluster of the martha-class Dreadnought, but the remaining forty percent was even more powerful, because the missiles fired by the javelin-class missile frigate were all equipped with cluster warheads, they were more destructive.
Faced with the missile rain, the front row of the Griffin fleet could not withstand it. As a last resort, the Galas Enforcers and Lavasa fighters activated their reconfiguration, although this would cause them to lose the ability to move and attack, their powerful self-repair ability allowed them to stand tenaciously on the battlefield without worrying about being destroyed by the missile rain.
As the Griffin Fleet’s heavy patrol and heavy frigate were in a reconfiguration state, they temporarily shut down their weapon systems. Therefore, their firepower was instantly weakened, this way, the pressure on Jiang Fei’s brown bear class heavy cruiser was also reduced. Both sides were in a stalemate.
“Hehe, let’s waste time. If we hold on for a little longer, we will win!”Jiang Fei smiled. What he needed now was time. With the strength of his fleet, if he wanted to destroy Griffin’s fleet.., that would be wishful thinking.
However, Jiang Fei did not need to destroy the enemy. As long as he could delay until Aurelia arrived, Griffin’s fleet would be like fish in a barrel.
“Damn it! Attack! Send the drones up too!”At this moment, Griffin was anxious. However, he did not have much power at his disposal.
If Griffin’s fleet encountered Jiang Fei’s fleet in the planet’s gravitational field, Jiang Fei’s fleet would have been destroyed long ago. However, the problem was that this was the star’s gravitational field, the powerful radiation caused the anti-matter in his fleet to run out. To use a game term, the magicians and support players in Griffin’s team were all out of Mana. Although they had a little more people, how much damage could these magicians and support players deal?
On the other hand, although Jiang Fei’s side had fewer people, they had the anti-matter support from the dunov-class battlecruiser cruiser. On the other hand, the Super Cannon of the martha-class dreadnought had activated its missile barrage, it was no different from a magician who had finished casting a forbidden spell. Moreover, he had the healer on his side who was constantly healing him. On the other hand, although Griffin’s fleet had more people, they could not even display 30% of their strength when all their mana points were empty.
Therefore, despite the huge difference in the number of battleships between the two sides, the battle was fifty-fifty.
“Sir, the imperial fleet has been detected approaching!”Griffin’s adjutant suddenly reported.
“Confirm the size of the enemy fleet!”Griffin’s heart tightened. If this was only a local fleet of the imperial army, it would not be a big problem. However, if it was the main fleet of the Imperial Army, it would be troublesome!
At the same time, Griffin was also complaining in his heart. “Damn Godwilla, where is your fleet? Why isn’t it here yet?”
They were also located in the star’s gravity well. Jiang Fei’s fleet was not the only one that was affected by the interference. Griffin’s fleet had also lost contact with Godwilla’s fleet. Therefore, he had no idea at this time, his allies had been wiped out at the Stargate.
“Sir, this is bad. The empire’s fleet is unprecedentedly large. There are more than 1,500 battleships!”The Adjutant’s answer made Griffin’s heart sink.
“Prepare to retreat!”Griffin was a commander who had been on the battlefield for a long time. He made a decision as soon as he received the information, even though the number of this imperial fleet was almost the same as his fleet, however, the problem was that his fleet had already exhausted the antimatter and was in an empty blue state, while the enemy’s fleet was a new force. Once both sides engaged in battle, their combat strength could not be compared.
In fact, what Griffin did not know was that even if his fleet was in full condition, he would not be able to resist the fleet of Aurelia. After all, the gap between a titan was obvious, not to mention a super warship like the twilight of the gods, which was full of giant cannons, how powerful its firepower was. Just after a round of skills from Azrael, Griffin’s fleet would probably lose at least one-third of its combat strength, therefore, although both sides were on the same number, their combat power was on a completely different level.
Therefore, Griffin’s decision to retreat was undoubtedly the most rational one. However, the problem was that if he wanted to leave, could Jiang Fei just stand by and watch?
“General, the enemy has stopped attacking. They seem to be adjusting their course. It seems like they are moving toward the gravitational line of the star. They are running!”Clark reported.
