Chapter 1183 - 1049: Digital Battleship?

Chapter 1183: Chapter 1049: Digital Battleship?

The battle fought against overwhelming odds had both sides clearly outlining their tactics from the start.

All the firepower from the two additional starships was focused on the Attack Ship.

This choice was likely made for efficiency reasons, as the defense of the main ship is relatively higher and Attack Ships are fragile.

Yet, the two starships themselves not only withstood attacks from the opponent’s two main ships but also faced harassment from six Attack Ships.

After all, there are still several Attack Ships attacking the Luxury Starship.

More Attack Ships, however, targeted the two incoming small ships—these were their primary targets.

The focused firing showed the Omen Ship and Ship 3344’s extremely skilled maneuvering abilities with unusually elusive trajectories.

Nonetheless, the enemy’s firepower was so dense that no matter how brilliant the maneuvering, avoiding shells completely was impossible.

But just like boxing, getting hit also requires skill.

Try to dodge the heavy punches, while the painless attacks are absorbed by thicker, tougher parts.

However, compared to the erratic maneuvering of these two starships, the movement of the two small Attack Ships shocked everyone even more.

You know, Attack Ships are typically fragile, and even a slight heavy strike could cause damage.

Yet, the two Attack Ships floated back and forth like ghosts, relying on their small size to weave nimbly through the hail of bullets.

Shockingly, no decent attack managed to hit them.

"Damn..." exclaimed the captain of the Luxury Starship, dumbfounded, and couldn’t help but mutter quietly, "Merit Warrior?"

He himself had retired from the army and knew well that even the military elite rarely reached this level.

As the battle unfolded comprehensively, the raiders also realized that they’ve really hit a wall this time.

The eerie voice spoke again, "I’ll say it one last time, if you leave now, you still have time."

"Don’t provoke those you cannot afford to, I’m not bluffing!" ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Clown!" scoffed a female voice, "Then, reveal your origins, if you dare?"

While there was bickering on the public channel, the battlefield was changing rapidly.

The Luxury Starship finally managed to injure an Attack Ship, while by that time, the two incoming starships had already hit and damaged four others.

"Splendid!" Big Head Butterfly exclaimed with excitement, "The feeling of going all out is fantastic!"

About ten minutes after the battle began, the raiders realized—the mission this time is probably unaccomplishable.

Impossible—two large and two small starships were just too fierce.

However, thinking of retreating now was a bit too late, several small ships had already been destroyed, with many warriors still surviving onboard.

Failure to rescue immediately is not a big issue; the key is that if they were really to evacuate, all these warriors would have to be silenced!

Action against one’s own kind seriously damages the morale, and nobody wishes to do so unless absolutely necessary.

The eerie voice spoke again, "You’re doomed, await the revenge from the Supreme!"

"Tch," Fire Attribute Supreme snorted disdainfully, "As if there’s no Supreme around here!"

In reality, whether the Supreme actually exists is uncertain, but someone who has attended the auction might recognize it with some twists.

The woman sneered coldly, "I wondered who it was, turns out to be those extortionists on Dream Star."

The two Supremes on the Luxury Starship were shocked upon hearing, "It’s actually them?"

The eerie voice responded angrily to the accusations, "Stop talking nonsense! This isn’t how you frame people!"

The woman sneered coldly, "Framing me? Alright then, prove you’re not if you can!"

Flower Scorpion casually remarked, not truly believing they were those extortionists, just aiming to force the enemy to reveal their identity.

The opposing side coldly chuckled, "Too naive, huh? If you dare, declare your own identity!"

Flower Scorpion calmly answered, "No need for stalling; you won’t escape."

The other side first coldly chuckled, and then uttered a startling cry, "You, what did you do?"

"You can rob others; I can’t rob you?" Flower Scorpion responded lightly.

Then she added, "Stay here, one by one we’ll Soul Search, evidence will come out eventually."

At this moment, on a small ship, someone cried out, "Bad news, control systems have failed!"

"Same with 014," someone else shouted, "Suddenly lost functionality!"

As one Attack Ship after another lost control, the eerie voice finally acknowledged the fact.

He asked in horror, "You guys... are testing Digital Battleships?"

Digital Battleships are no secret amongst the high-end; only ordinary people rarely know of them.

His voice even trembled, as only the military elite are qualified to test Digital Battleships.

And one of the opponent’s two starships was a Gao Fang Warship.

Therefore, all this matched, and the next step was figuring out how to flee.

The woman coldly snorted, "Knowing Digital Battleships is good; your little artificial intelligence is not impressive enough."

What artificial intelligence! The eerie voice, upon hearing, shouted, "You... it’s clearly you guys using artificial intelligence!"

"Yes, we are researching," the woman replied nonchalantly, "as if you’re not researching too."

"Damn," the captain of the Luxury Starship shivered upon hearing this, then shouted, "Quickly, cover your ears!"

Listening to certain things that shouldn’t be heard can really be deadly!

Even though they have strong backing, it’s impossible for their strong supporters to constantly watch over them; caution is still needed.

Contrarily, the two Supremes were indifferent, artificial intelligence... how taboo could it be?

They even believed that the captain was merely acting—that the people backing you would definitely research this.

The next moment, an angry curse was heard from the public channel, "Damn... how dare you attack the Mother Ship, who do you think you are?"

Generally speaking, the digital defenses of a Mother Ship would be stronger, given the wide range of functionalities involved.

Subsequently, the Water Attribute Supreme spoke grimly, "It seems most of the opponent’s starships have indeed lost control."

In space, a starship that loses control won’t just stop; it will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed for a short time.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked to confirm the truth.

Although those smaller ships were still attacking, they no longer continued to dodge or maneuver aggressively.

Only the Mother Ship was still struggling, putting up what seemed like a futile resistance.

The next moment, a woman’s voice echoed through the public channel, "Can you hurry up, haven’t disabled the fire control system yet?"

Subsequently, those firing weapons gradually ceased their fire.

"Fine, we admit defeat!" An eerie voice spoke in exasperation, "What do you want?"

"All of your starships," the woman replied coolly.

"Okay, just leave us a few ships to return home," the eerie voice responded without hesitation, "That’s not too much to ask, right?"

"Don’t even think about it," the woman said flatly, "We also want to take the people... of course, you can refuse."

The last sentence she said lightly, but her tone left no room for doubt.

However, the Water Attribute Supreme suddenly warned, "Careful, they have at least three Supremes!"

This tip had a selfish motive.

First is the desire for revenge; having such a great power being forced into this position, how could one let it go?

Secondly, wanting to recruit the opposition—meeting such a proficient space combat team couldn’t hurt.

If these two starships weren’t called in to help by another group of passengers, that would be even better.

"Tch," the woman scoffed, "As if no one has a few Supremes."

As they spoke, the battlefield’s fireworks gradually became sparse, and in about thirty seconds, they completely ceased.

The Luxury Starship was still firing, and the firepower wasn’t bad; it had further damaged two small attack ships.

The crew’s combat level might be lacking, but hitting a steady target posed little problem.

The woman spoke again, "Alright, these are all our spoils of war!"

In fact, the captain noticed something amiss too, hurriedly saying, "Cease fire, don’t ask for trouble!"

Both the Fire and Water Attributes exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise: Is the Digital Battleship’s power this strong?

Both thought of a grave issue; if this continued, would future space battles need a change of tactics?

The Fire Attribute Supreme shook his head, slowly speaking, "The Digital Battleships I’ve encountered seem... unlike this."

The Military’s Digital Battleships are highly confidential, and even ordinary Supremes have difficulty seeing them.

He truly had seen them and doubted whether this truly came from the Military.

The Water Attribute Supreme shook his head, "Don’t speak rashly... don’t you know trouble comes from the mouth?"

"Tch," the Fire Attribute Supreme dismissed with a shake of his head, thinking what’s the big deal in researching artificial intelligence?

But since his companion warned him, he was too lazy to say more.

Then, the captain exclaimed slightly, "These people... are they really reinforcements called by the other side?"

When the firing ceased, the Omen Ship charged toward the attack ship with two Supremes.

Although the starship’s people didn’t speak, they all regarded that attack ship as a key target for observation.

Including the earlier concentrated fire attacks, some had deliberately or inadvertently fired a few shots at this attack ship.

—If they could destroy this ship, the threat from the Supremes floating in space wouldn’t be as severe.

Unfortunately, everyone was wary, not daring to concentrate their attacks.

Now the opponent’s starship headed straight for this ship; no one believed it was a coincidence.

The Omen Ship came above the attack ship, slowly extending a mechanical arm.

Meanwhile, two small ships also surrounded this ship, with visible Energy Fluctuations from their cannons.

It was very clear, if the opponent dared to resist stubbornly, these two ships would definitely not hold back.

"Serves them right!" said the Fire Attribute Supreme, feeling greatly amused—it was just like the treatment their side faced before.

But soon his face changed again, "Should we warn them to watch out for a Supreme sneak attack?"

"They couldn’t possibly make such a mistake, right?" Even the Water Attribute Supreme felt that the opposing side had made a targeted choice.

However, considering their side was not completely safe, he still expressed, "I’ll go give them a warning then."
