Clashes on the main battlefield.
It's simply a competition of whose starships have the most powerful firepower, the strongest defensive and interception capabilities, and the fastest way to break through and penetrate enemy formations.
Indeed, the demon fleet had the advantage in numbers.
However, after clashing with the Dragon Legion's starships, they discovered that these starships seemed quite different from those of the enemies they had encountered before.
Firstly, there's the aspect of long-range firepower output.
Despite the Demon Clan fleet having a numerical advantage, in terms of firepower alone, the Dragon Legion is in no way inferior; they are evenly matched!
The main reason for this is naturally the fifty T3 Judgement-class heavy interplanetary missile ships and T4 Gorgon-class heavy interplanetary gunships that are standard equipment for each legion fleet of the Xiaolong Legion.
The T4 Hells Angels-class heavy interplanetary missile ship suffers from enormous combat costs, as well as long construction time and high raw material consumption.
Therefore, it cannot be deployed in the regular fleet at present.
Nevertheless, these interstellar warships alone are sufficient to handle the firepower output of the JF-17 Legion.
In particular, the T4 Gorgon-class heavy interplanetary gunships are now in service with five T4 Gorgons in each JF-17 Legion, which means a total of thirty T4 Gorgons in six JF-17 Legions.
The sight of thirty T4 Gorgon-class heavy interstellar gunships firing in unison was a rare spectacle, and the Demon fleet was fortunate enough to witness and experience it firsthand.
Where there is a spear, there is naturally a shield.
The Demon Race fleet has a large number of T4 Gargoyle-class heavy interplanetary frigates, which are responsible for frontline defense and interception. They will use their deployed star shields to block incoming attacks.
Once the Starshields' energy is depleted, they will use their own ship armor to defend themselves.
Once the ship's armor is damaged to a certain extent, these T4 Gargoyle-class heavy interstellar frigates will retreat to the rear of the battle line to undertake close-range defense tasks for certain interstellar warships, while slowly repairing themselves using the advanced technology of their ship armor.
In the eyes of the Demon Race fleet, this was already a pretty good interstellar frigate.
But today, they encountered a far superior interstellar frigate.
T4 Paladin-class heavy interplanetary missile frigate.
Thirty T4 Paladin-class heavy interplanetary missile frigates can directly form a Star Shield Matrix, greatly increasing the defensive effect.
In this situation, the only remaining option for the demon fleet is a frontal assault.
According to the tactical strategy of the Demon Race fleet, the T4 Demon Hunter-class medium starship battlecruiser would take the lead, the T4 Blade-class light star interceptor would provide support, and the remaining T3-class starships would supplement the fleet.
They formed assault and infiltration fleets.
By launching surprise attacks, they broke through the enemy's lines and infiltrated and divided the enemy's fleet.
This strategy proved highly effective for the Demon fleet, given their numerical advantage.
But today, they've met their match.
The attacks of the T4 Demon Hunter-class medium starship battlecruisers were fierce, but the strong resistance from the T4 Blue-Eyes White Dragon-class heavy starship battleships positioned behind the defensive line was even more terrifying.
As for dealing with those T4 Blade-class light interstellar interceptors, after learning about the Demon Race fleet's combat methods beforehand, the various commanders of the Dragon Legion fleet had several ways to counter them.
First of all, the T4 Paladin-class heavy interplanetary missile frigate itself is equipped with 3,000 Paladin-class short-range interceptor and defense interplanetary missiles, not to mention the close-in weapon systems, etc.
These short-range interceptor-defense interstellar missiles can intercept enemy weapon attacks, and naturally can also directly intercept those attacking T4 Blade-class light interstellar interceptors.
In addition, the T4 Skeleton King-class heavy interstellar armored destroyer is also on high alert.
Compared to the T4 Blade-class light interstellar interceptors, these interstellar armored destroyers are like boulders, while the T4 Blade-class light interstellar interceptors are just eggs.
The consequences of trying to fight a losing battle are obvious.
The advantage of the T4 Blade-class light interstellar interceptor lies in its high speed, enabling it to launch a wolf-pack-like, instantaneous offensive and encircle and strike enemy ships in a specific area.
However, its shortcomings are also obvious: the weapon modules are only of average quality, and the ship's armor and star shields are very poor.
Once the protection of the Star Shield is lost.
Even a T3 Triceratops-class interstellar heavy assault frigate or a T3 Wolverine-class heavy interstellar armored destroyer could easily take down these fragile creatures.
This creates a very interesting scenario.
Once these T4 Blade-class light interstellar interceptors approach, T4 Skeleton King-class heavy interstellar armored destroyers or T3 Wolverine-class heavy interstellar armored destroyers will first shatter their star shields.
Then, the T3 Triceratops-class interstellar heavy assault frigates will swarm in and encircle and annihilate them!
The captains of these T4 Blade-class light interstellar interceptors probably never imagined that, instead of being the ones who used to surround and annihilate the enemy, they would now become the targets of the hunt.
They were particularly {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} devastated when their ship was struck by the enemy's star frigate equipped with a ram.
Ultimately, the vast majority of T4 Blade-class light interstellar interceptors ended up with their hulls ripped apart and ultimately perished.
That was such a humiliating loss!
This is far from over.
The JF-17 Legion has always valued reciprocity.
Since you've launched an attack on me, how can I miss such a good opportunity?
The Xiaolong Legion assembled an assault fleet consisting of T4 Tyrant-class heavy interstellar missile battlecruisers, T4 Vermilion Bird-class medium interstellar cruisers, T3 Blizzard-class light interstellar battlecruisers, and T3 Windhawk-class medium interstellar cruisers.
Launch surprise attacks on some of the demon fleet's lines that have been exposed due to their proactive attacks.
Seeing this, the demon fleet also attempted to intercept and block these enemy ships.
However, the situation they encountered was completely different from that of their own demon assault fleet.
The T4 Tyrant-class heavy interplanetary missile battlecruiser, which took the lead, demonstrated a powerful firepower output capability.
After all, this star battlecruiser, apart from one Tyrant Heavy bow gun and six 10,000mm caliber heavy electromagnetic cannons, is equipped with...
It is also equipped with 50 interplanetary missile launchers and has a stockpile of 5,000 medium- and short-range Tyrant-type interplanetary missiles.
In addition, there are 166 quadruple-mounted heavy particle energy rapid-fire cannons and 488 fully automatic high-density six-mounted energy close-in weapon systems.
This is simply a steel behemoth armed to the teeth.
Under the onslaught of these steel behemoths, the outcome of the attack on the Demon Clan fleet's defensive lines was the complete opposite of that of the attack on the Dragon Legion's defensive lines.
This left both of the demon fleet commanders who were leading the battle dumbfounded.
What happened?
This isn't how it's supposed to be done!
