Chapter 327: The Roaring North Wind God

Chapter 327: Chapter 327: The Roaring North Wind God

Among the various defensive positions along the garrison line, each was centered around a T3 Flame Dragon-class medium interstellar destroyer.

In contrast, the T3 Dagger-class medium interstellar cruisers, T3 Knight-class medium interstellar destroyers, and T3 Night Watcher-class interstellar heavy frigates served as supporting escort vessels.

"This T3 Flame Dragon-class medium interstellar destroyer indeed has excellent overall performance. And its firepower output isn’t too weak either, is it?

At the very least, it’s not inferior to the Stellar Glory Empire’s T3 Knight-class medium interstellar destroyer," Red Eyes observed the battlefield behind them beside Zhao Chen.

She had just learned about the technical information regarding the T3 Flame Dragon-class medium interstellar destroyer.

Zhao Chen smiled without speaking.

Compared to the stellar destroyers of the Stellar Glory Empire, the T3 Flame Dragon-class medium interstellar destroyer’s firepower was certainly within the ’normal’ range.

But if compared to the T3 stellar destroyers Zhao Chen planned to equip the Fierce Dragon Fleet with in the future, those little guns and cannons were truly not worth looking at.

The gap was not just a little.

This was also why Zhao Chen had not equipped his Fierce Dragon Fleet with this T3 Flame Dragon-class medium interstellar destroyer.

"The Swarm is launching a fierce counterattack! They’ve also realized our target is their T4 Zerg Nest Mothership," Chu Xuan’s voice came through at this moment.

"Commander," Charlotte looked at Commander Zhao Chen.

"I understand, it’s our turn now," Zhao Chen raised his hand, signaling to Red Eyes, "Begin."

Inside the hangar of the T3 Phoenix-class Heavy Carrier Starship.

Many starfighter pilots could be seen collapsed in the hangar, with some even having fallen unconscious.

Because prior to this, each of them had been deployed at high frequency at least ten times!

This had already reached the limit of consecutive deployments for a starfighter pilot.

It should be noted that the Stellar Glory Empire’s requirement for starfighter pilots was the ability to deploy consecutively five times.

But in the Fierce Dragon Fleet, this standard had been raised to ten times!

For no other reason.

Because they were starfighter pilots trained by the T3 Goddess Academy-class Starship.

Beep beep beep beep

At this moment, red lights flashed within the hangar.

This was the order to launch.

"Launch! Launch! Launch! All squadrons launch!" The hangar instantly became busy.

Support personnel began preparing each stellar fighter for launch.

In truth, all the stellar fighters were already on standby; it was mainly the starfighter pilots themselves.

"Those who have reached the ten-deployment standard may remain to rest. Have the second team’s fighter pilots launch!" Chief Commander Pei Shengnan’s voice echoed throughout the hangars.

On the T3 Phoenix-class Heavy Carrier Starship, two groups of starfighter pilots were assigned.

It wasn’t that more couldn’t be assigned, but the Fierce Dragon Fleet currently only had this many pilots capable of operating T3 starfighters.

It must be understood that T3 starfighter pilots could be called ’minor nobles’ within the Stellar Glory Empire; after retirement, they enjoyed quite favorable living benefits, as these technical combat personnel could be conscripted again if needed.

Moreover, due to the extremely high requirements for T3 starfighters, the pass rate for assessments at various academies in the Stellar Glory Empire was less than 5%!

Talent in this area was exceedingly scarce.

Even if Zhao Chen possessed the T3 Goddess Academy-class Starship, it would still take a considerable amount of time to train enough T3 Starfighter Pilots.

The pilots of the first squadron were, of course, more skilled than those of the second squadron.

Only when the first squadron reached their physical limits would the T3 Starfighter Pilots of the second squadron step in to take over.

Pei Shengnan had already put her tactical helmet back on and was preparing to board her starfighter.

"Chief Commander Pei! You’ve already reached a total of fifteen sorties! Your physical condition has reached its limit; you cannot sortie again!" The leader of the logistics team responsible for Pei Shengnan’s aircraft said with concern.

Pei Shengnan settled into the cockpit. "I know my own body best. Don’t waste time; prepare for launch!"

The logistics team leader tried to say something more.

The pilot of the starfighter next to hers chuckled. "Don’t bother trying to persuade her. You might not know about Chief Commander Pei’s achievements aboard the Goddess Academy-class Starship.

In the T3 Starfighter Pilot program, the record for consecutive sorties is held by Chief Commander Pei, with twenty-eight consecutive sorties!"

Twenty-eight sorties!

Hearing this number, everyone was stunned.

Then, with looks of awe, they watched that T3 Phoenix-class Starfighter disappear from view.

Swarms of T3 Phoenix-class Starfighters, T3 Fire Phoenix-class Heavy Star Stealth Bombers, and T3 Black Phoenix-class Medium Star Drones poured out from the T3 Phoenix-class Heavy Carrier Starship.

Before this combat mission, the combat loss rate of the star drones on the T3 Phoenix-class Heavy Carrier Starship had already reached 50%!

However, after the arrival of the T3 Virgo-class Heavy Interstellar Supply Ship, all these star drones had been fully replenished.

So now, a full three thousand T3 Black Phoenix-class Medium Star Drones could be seen forming a dark red torrent, colliding with the black torrent of the Swarm on the other side.

Although fewer in number, the former was far more ferocious!

Wherever they passed, the Swarm was destroyed one by one!

"This T3 Phoenix-class Heavy Carrier Starship is truly formidable..." Chu Xuan gazed at this crimson interstellar behemoth. Its ship hull was only half the size of her own T4 Boreas-class Heavy Interstellar Battleship.

And the T3 War Falcon-class Medium Carrier Starship equipped in their Chu Family Fleet was simply not worth comparing to this crimson interstellar giant.

Its starfighter carrying capacity was less than half of this ship’s, and the starfighters and star drones it carried didn’t possess such terrifying combat capability.

No wonder Charlotte, when discussing this combat mission with her earlier and mentioning this T3 Phoenix-class Heavy Carrier Starship, had told her she could place complete trust in its combat capability.

This was also why, for this deep-penetration mission into enemy territory, they had brought along this crimson interstellar giant.

After all, the shorter the attack range, the more sortie opportunities a single starfighter or star drone could have!

"But... Miss, why is there our Chu Family’s emblem on the hull of this T3 Phoenix-class Heavy Carrier Starship?" the female Secretary Officer beside her couldn’t help but ask.

In fact, many Starship Captains in the Chu Family Fleet had noticed that golden ’Chu’ character on the T3 Phoenix-class Heavy Carrier Starship.

How come they didn’t know their Chu Family Fleet possessed such a Carrier Starship?

But perhaps it’s some secret research mission of the Governor.

After all, the T3 Flame Dragon-class medium interstellar destroyer also made a sudden appearance.

These people didn’t dare to ask too many questions and could only pretend they saw nothing.

"Ahem... well... you shouldn’t ask too much about this," Chu Xuan coughed a few times, changing the subject.

But in her heart, she knew very well that this must be Zhao Chen using her Chu Family’s name as cover!

After all, such an excellent T3 heavy carrier starship, if people knew it was developed by a viscount from the Fierce Dragon Star System,

it would definitely attract a lot of attention.

But if it’s labeled with the Chu Family’s name, that’s different.

Those guys would at most be envious and jealous, without any other tricks.

"Miss! High-intensity energy reaction detected! It’s the bio-plasma cannon of a T4 Zerg Nest Mothership!" the Captain reported beside her.

Chu Xuan looked at the starship radar and immediately asked, "Can our firing range reach that T4 Zerg Nest Mothership?"

"Not yet!"

At that moment, Zhao Chen spoke up: "Chu Xuan, the Swarm’s interception is becoming more intense.

Plus, the T4 Zerg Nest Mothership is preparing to attack us, so I need your T4 North Wind God to take action."

"Understood." Chu Xuan immediately issued the command: "North Wind God C09, execute the predetermined combat mission!"

"North Wind God C09, understood!" came the voice of the other Captain over the comms—a one-star brigadier general!

Those who serve as captains of the North Wind God-class Heavy Interstellar Battleship all hold at least the rank of general officer!

At this moment, the North Wind God C09, having received its mission, increased its flight speed and moved to the forefront of the entire joint fleet.

And it was precisely in the attack trajectory of the T4 Zerg Nest Mothership’s bio-plasma cannon.

The full-coverage star shield of the North Wind God C09 enveloped the entire interstellar battleship hull!

At the same time, the two bow heavy cannons on it began to glow.

These were the most powerful main weapons equipped on the T4 North Wind God-class Heavy Interstellar Battleship!

Two heavy particle beam laser bow-mounted giant cannons!

Two terrifying beams shot out, directly destroying all the Swarm in front of the North Wind God C09. Even T4 Colossus-class Leviathans or T4 Hunter-class Leviathans would perish upon contact!

The scene was like the roaring North Wind God!
