Chapter 1703: A straight, flat push!
Furthermore, based on these three different classes of starships, Grand Marshal Charlotte even made detailed arrangements according to their combat characteristics.
Among them, the T4 Blue-Eyes White Dragon-class heavy interstellar armored battleship, although it is a T4-level interstellar battleship, is characterized by its heavy armor and extremely high defensive strength.
It is suitable to act as a shield in this battle squadron composed of starships.
The T5-level Holy Redeemer-class heavy interstellar armored heavy artillery battleship is due to the addition of heavy artillery, which greatly increases its group output capability.
Naturally, it became the main source of firepower.
The final T6 Purple Gold Silver Dragon-class heavy interstellar battleship, as the most advanced interstellar battleship, serves as the final line of defense.
In short, it will appear wherever there is suitable prey and wherever it is needed.
With the combined power of these three starships, their offensive momentum was quite terrifying.
The three starships propelled at the same speed.
No matter the time, no matter what kind of enemy is facing us, no matter how strong the enemy's defenses are.
The speed of these starships did not decrease in the slightest.
With armor and firepower, they crushed all enemies in their path.
This is the fighting style of the Reverse Scale Ace Fleet, and the necessity of it.
Compared to the previous 15-minute battle duration of the Shadow Hunter Ace Fleet, the battle time of the Reverse Scale Ace Fleet has been greatly increased.
It lasted for ninety minutes.
In other words, each echelon of the Reverse Scale Ace Fleet Group has a 30-minute attack time, after which it is handed over to the next attack echelon.
Until the Reverse Scale Ace Fleet Group completes its combat mission.
The interstellar fleets and fortifications that devoured civilizations tried their best to intercept and stop the advance of these behemoths of steel, but the combat power of these steel behemoths was simply too terrifying.
Once inside their firing range, any interstellar warship or fortification capable of devouring a civilization would find it difficult to sustain itself for more than three minutes.
This is their lifespan under the firepower of the Reverse Scale Ace Fleet.
The first wave of attacks ended quickly, and the rhythm shifted to the second wave.
This rotation process is crucial; carelessness can significantly disrupt the offensive rhythm, even if there are no major losses.
Grand Marshal Charlotte oversaw the entire process.
She frowned as she looked at a yellow attack route; this was the only yellow route, while the other four were green.
This means that, in the first wave of attacks, only this one attacking fleet failed to meet the expected attack requirements.
It is quite obvious that the distance it advanced was much shorter than the other four attack routes.
However, this was not due to the negligence of this part of the legion's fleet. Charlotte was not someone who would ignore the situation; she knew it was because this route was the most difficult to attack before.
Because along this line, the enemy has the largest number of interstellar warships and the most fortifications.
Even though this attacking fleet attacked at all costs, it was still difficult to close the gap.
"The second echelon of attacking fleets along this line must make sure to close the gap during her twenty-minute attack period."
This gap could threaten the flanks of other attacking fleets, affecting the pace of the attack.
We cannot let this happen.
Charlotte made direct contact with the fleet in the second phase of the offensive in the area, urging them to try their best to reverse the pace of the attack.
And immediately after the order was issued.
The secretary reported to Grand Marshal Charlotte: "Grand Marshal, the commander of the fleet responsible for the second offensive route has requested communication."
"Bring them in," Grand Marshal Charlotte said without turning her head.
The video window that comes in is two video windows.
Because they were two corps fleet commanders.
Both of them looked ashamed and guilty.
After the video call came in, neither of them spoke.
This makes the moment seem somewhat eerie.
Charlotte ignored them and continued staring at the interstellar war map. He said coldly, "Say what you want to say, or shut it down."
One of the fleet commanders spoke first: "Grand Marshal, our attack has failed."
They did not complete the entire attack area as required, only 86% of the attack was completed.
We request that punishment be imposed!
"Yes! We... have embarrassed you."
The two fleet commanders made no excuses, nor did they say anything about how their attack route was more difficult or unfair.
This is the characteristic of the JF-17 Commander.
They only knew that once they received an order, they should unconditionally carry it out.
Instead of making excuses because you can't do it.
Then they are not worthy to be commanders of the elite fleet group.
At this moment, Grand Marshal Charlotte looked up at them, and she was well aware of their predicament.
She had already planned that if the two people didn't take the initiative to apologize, or immediately started to tell her about their difficulties and grievances, she would be fine.
After this battle, the two of them will be removed from the Reverse Scale Ace Fleet.
They may be excellent corps commanders, but they are no longer suitable to serve as commanders of the Reverse Scale Ace Fleet.
Now, without making any excuses, they have taken the initiative to apologize.
This is acceptable to Charlotte.
"You have indeed failed in your duties."
I know that the attack zone you are responsible for is the most difficult.
However, your two fleet legions, while not necessarily the strongest in our army, are definitely second to none.
But you still failed to meet the attack requirements as scheduled.
I'll make a note of your dereliction of duty and reconcile the accounts with you later.
Now do what you're supposed to do, step down and reorganize your fleets, restore their combat effectiveness as quickly as possible, and wait for the next mission.
After saying that, Charlotte unilaterally cut off the communication before the two could speak.
The two corps commanders breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the blacked-out communication window screen in front of them, despite being scolded by Grand Marshal Charlotte.
This shows that Grand Marshal Charlotte still has hope for them.
Otherwise, Grand Marshal Charlotte wouldn't even have the thought of talking to them, let alone criticizing them.
If that's the case, they will most likely be kicked out of the Reverse Scale Ace Fleet.
Although they will be transferred to other regular fleet groups, their ranks and grades will not be adjusted.
However, being expelled from the elite fleet group was undoubtedly a very humiliating thing for these JF-17 officers.
Therefore, they would never let such a thing happen!
Both of them secretly resolved that in the battles to come, they would try to make amends whenever they had the chance!
Subsequently, during the attack of the Reverse Scale Ace Fleet, it was intercepted by the enemy in various ways.
The enemy subsequently sent a large number of legion fleets to reinforce the area.
However, due to the limited time, even with a garrison of ten million interstellar warships in this star system, the situation was still too rushed.
However, due to various reasons, it is impossible to transfer them all in such a short period of time.
Nevertheless, according to statistics, the Reverse Scale Ace Fleet Group faced a total of nearly 1.5 million enemy interstellar warships in terms of firepower.
In that hour and a half, they destroyed nearly a million enemy interstellar warships and all the defensive fortifications along the way.
The Reverse Scale Ace Fleet Group completed its combat mission as scheduled.
Almost immediately after the Reverse Scale Ace Fleet completed its offensive mission, these starships cleared several major shipping lanes.
At the same time, an attack echelon composed of interstellar cruisers, as sharp as arrows, took over the attack mission from the Reverse Scale Ace Fleet Group.
This is the Blizzard Ace Fleet.
Their task was to break through the remaining half of the galaxy's defenses within the remaining two hours.
This is a crucial part of the military operation, which aims to penetrate this galaxy within five hours.
They even set aside an hour for this.
Charlotte looked at the interstellar war sandbox in front of her.
The secretary next to him said, "In this star system, most of the enemy's ten million interstellar warships are deployed on the front lines."
Once we break through these enemy front-line positions, the defensive depth of the vast area behind them is far less fortified than the initial area.
However, if the offensive is too slow, enemy reinforcements will arrive, build new defensive lines, and disrupt our offensive rhythm.
Therefore, we specifically arranged for the Blizzard Ace Fleet to be in charge of this last part.
The Blizzard Ace Fleet is composed entirely of star cruisers and star battlecruisers, and is known for its high mobility in combat.
It can penetrate deep into the enemy's defenses within the system, even after the enemy has established a complete defensive line.
Charlotte drew a line on the interstellar war sandbox, which was the attack route of the Blizzard Ace Fleet.
"I have no doubt that Akame's Blizzard Ace Fleet can complete this offensive mission."
The most challenging aspect of this phase is ensuring that the regular fleet groups can keep up in time and establish defensive positions along the shipping route.
If these fleets cannot keep up in time, the Blizzard Ace Fleet Group may be cut off by enemy reinforcements.
That had a significant impact on our operations.
However, the Blizzard Elite Fleet Group could not slow down to wait for these corps fleets to catch up, as that would contradict the original intention of assigning the Blizzard Elite Fleet Group to carry out this combat mission.
Therefore, the key is whether the subsequent corps and fleets can keep up with the offensive pace of the Blizzard Ace Fleet Group! Charlotte's gaze fell on the Fifth Legion Fleet Group of the Wyvern.
Because in the latter half of this galaxy, the area is under the command of Marshal Leona's Fifth Fleet.
At this very moment, Marshal Leona was also keeping a close eye on the changes on the battlefield.
She was well aware that the crucial element of the second half of the battle was whether her corps and fleets could keep up with the pace of building their defensive lines and ensure the smooth flow of the waterway.
In order to keep up with the attack speed of the Blizzard Ace Fleet, Marshal Leona specially changed the deployment of their interstellar legion fleet.
The priority is not to build the defenses of the newest areas, but ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) to have the legion fleet keep up with the charging Blizzard Ace Fleet.
They did not build a defensive line immediately.
However, at the same time, they were also constantly monitoring the situation of the enemy fleets around them.
If an enemy fleet is discovered in a certain area and arrives with large-scale reinforcements, the nearest troop fleet will be deployed to immediately establish a defensive line and intercept the enemy fleet.
If this situation does not occur, the legion fleet will follow the charging Blizzard Ace Fleet.
This adaptable strategy allowed the Fifth Legion Fleet of the JF-17 to keep up with the Blizzard Ace Fleet, making up for the difference in mobility.
If it weren't like this, but instead these corps fleets were deployed using the previous method.
That might lead to situations later on where some legion fleets can't keep up with the speed of the Blizzard Ace Fleet.
After all, the earliest departing fleet had already constructed defensive fortifications along the shipping route.
This required Marshal Leona to keep a close eye on the changes on the battlefield at all times. This arrangement was made possible thanks to the intelligence network established by the Ghost Scout Elite Fleet.
The enemy fleet's movements were carried out almost right under the noses of the JF-17 Dragon Fleet.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to respond so quickly.
Despite their intelligence advantage, the commanders of those corps and fleets remained on high alert at all times.
Because the next second, they might need to arrange their own fleet to build a defensive line on the spot and fight the enemy.
This requires them to stop at their original high speed in the shortest possible time, and then deploy their troops and build a defensive line.
The transition between movement and stillness is no less challenging than the rotation requirements on the front lines.
However, the Fifth Legion Fleet of the JF-17 Thunder almost all completed these combat missions as required.
There were no errors in any环节 (link/step).
final!
As expected by Grand Marshal Charlotte and Emperor Zhao Chen, at the fourth hour and twenty minutes into the raid, the Blizzard Ace Fleet directly breached the star system.
As expected, the subsequent regular fleet groups also established defensive lines along the route, ensuring that the route was now under the control of the Wyvern Star Legion.
Dragon Emperor Star Command Ship - Bridge
"Report, latest battlefield news!"
The Legion fleet tasked with carrying out this raid on Star System X has successfully breached the first mission system, 'B12 Star System,' after four hours and twenty minutes.
The next two galaxies to be attacked are the 'B13 galaxy'.
The attack on these two star systems is expected to take place within ten hours.
