Chapter 143 Dancing on the Edge of a Knife (Two in One)

Sixteen beams of light fell on the mothership group, immediately piercing through a large number of hive motherships, and finally directly shattered the biological force field of a T3-class hive mothership. Then the beams passed through this T3-class hive mothership and pierced through the two T2-class motherships behind it.

Each beam of light pierced through multiple Zerg motherships at once like piercing a candied haws. The Hurricane continued to attack these Zerg motherships. In just five minutes, the main and secondary guns entered the cooling time one after another.

The beams of light emitted pierced through a large number of Zerg hive motherships. In just five minutes, nearly a hundred Zerg hive motherships were destroyed. Moreover, with the attack of close-in rapid-fire cannons, the number continued to rise. Despite this, facing a group of more than 3,000 Zerg hive motherships, it was still a drop in the bucket.

A large number of Zerg motherships tried to approach the Hurricane without fear of casualties to use their suicide bugs to consume the Hurricane’s star shields. Some T2 and T1 Zerg motherships continuously sprayed biological plasma cannons to attack the Hurricane, but they were all blocked by the star shields.

“Alert! The remaining energy of Hurricane’s star shield is 95%.92%.87%.82%.”

Seeing more and more Hive Motherships gathering around the Hurricane, Feng Mo calmly gave the order:
“Quasi-T5 Star Destroyer Cannon, ready to charge, switch to beam laser mode.”

The Star Destroyer is different from the main and secondary guns of ordinary starships. It is divided into two modes. One is the conventional mode, which shoots out a laser beam to bombard the enemy starship. The other is the beam laser mode. This mode can continuously charge the Star Destroyer. As long as the charging is not completed, the Star Destroyer will continue to shoot beams.

“Commander, the quasi-T5 star destroyer cannon has been charged. Please give instructions!”

“Fire! Tear a hole in the hive mothership group!”

The fully charged quasi-T5 star destroyer cannon fired a huge orange energy beam. Wherever the beam passed, whether it was a T3 hive mothership or a T2 or T1 level, they were all annihilated by this energy beam.

The beam laser mode is a sustainable attack. From a bird’s eye view, you can see that the quasi-T5 star destroyer cannon has been outputting orange energy. The orange light column continues to advance forward, tearing a huge hole in the swarm of insects that covers the sky.

The biological force fields of these hive motherships were shattered like paper under the quasi-T5 star destroyer cannon. The Hurricane took this opportunity to break out of the encirclement of the hive motherships along the torn hole.

At this time, in the rest cabin of the Hurricane, many students of the academy were concentrating on watching the holographic screen in front of them, watching the Hurricane continuously shooting down the Zerg motherships, watching the Hurricane being surrounded, and watching the Hurricane blasting a passage through the entire mothership group with one shot.

Everyone kept exclaiming with an expression of disbelief on their faces. The leader introduced to everyone:

“The orange beam just now was not the main gun of a T4 starship, but a quasi-T5 star destroyer. Any company in the Federation has a production and sales license for this kind of cannon. Duke Feng Mo bought this quasi-T5 star destroyer from an offline auction house in the Federation.”

At this time, Gu Yanyan’s best friend gently poked her. Seeing that the students around her were all looking at the holographic screen, she quietly leaned over to Gu Yanyan’s ear and said:

“Your brother Feng Mo is so powerful. If you don’t hurry up, he will definitely be seduced away by other women. You have no advantage alone. We are good sisters. The two of us are a huge advantage. Yanyan, think about it!”

Gu Yanyan was so embarrassed by these words that she lightly hit her best friend. She was becoming more and more indecent and dared to say anything.

After the quasi-T5 star destroyer cannon was fired, all of the Hurricane’s main and secondary weapons entered the cooling stage, and only the close-in rapid-fire cannon continued to bombard the Zerg mothership group.

Although the caliber of the Hurricane’s main and secondary guns is extremely powerful, its cooling time and charging time are longer than those of ordinary T4 starships.

The Hurricane, which broke out of the encirclement of the Zerg Hive Mothership, saw the Black Knight Fleet, which was now engaged in a battle with the Zerg Hive Mothership group on the edge. A mixed fleet of T4 and T3 had a huge impact on the T2 and T1 Zerg Hive Mothership groups.

But again, there are too many enemy starships, and quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, so the Black Knight Fleet has to be cautious. Moreover, they are all conventional fleets, without bombers, missile ships and other special starships. If the T3 Boxer was here, a few rounds of interstellar missiles would basically clear the field.

“Alert. Hurricane’s star shield energy remaining is 64%.”

Feng Mo sighed, it was really a case of ants biting an elephant to death. The Hurricane was able to consume so much star shield energy in such a short time. Of course, the other side would also lose at least nearly two hundred hive motherships.

The main reason is that the entire interstellar Zerg has no intelligence of their own. They only know to obey the command of the mothership. The high-level Zerg mothership has absolute leadership over the lower-level ones, so if they are asked to die, they will obediently go forward to die.

This is the point that is difficult for the Zerg to overcome. Although the four major empires of the Federation are stronger than the Zerg in technology, after all, the four empires are not of one mind, and the Zerg only obey the orders of the mother nest.

On the one hand, there is a powerful force, but it is transformed into several forces; on the other hand, there is a slightly weaker force, but there is only one fist. It is obvious which one is stronger.

“No, we can’t do this. The speed is too slow. As long as these Zerg motherships continue to surround Planet Z227, they will continue to release large numbers of interstellar Zerg onto the planet’s surface. Leaving behind a quasi-T5-class interstellar mothership will become a drop in the bucket.” “Han Peipei, when will Mello arrive at the battlefield?” Feng Mo asked.

“Your Excellency, the Mello sisters will arrive at the battlefield in about twelve minutes!”

“Okay, connect to the video communication of the Black Knight Fleet.”

After the video was connected, Feng Mo directly gave Cheng Xianqing an order:

“Colonel Cheng Xianqing, the fleet support will take twelve minutes. Within twelve minutes, the Black Knight Fleet needs to work with the Hurricane to hold the enemy back and find a perfect attack point for our bombers. I need to take over your command, okay?”

Cheng Xianqing said without any hesitation: “My Lord Duke, no matter what the order is, you just give the order directly, and the Black Cavalry Fleet will absolutely obey it!”

This kid has a wider path, Feng Mo said to himself. Colonel Cheng Xianqing and Feng Mo are not from the same empire, but belong to the same northern war zone. The relationship between the two cannot be considered as superiors and subordinates, but only comrades-in-arms. Feng Mo’s dukedom is from the Yunshan Empire, not the Meteorite Empire.

After hearing this, Cheng Xianqing handed over the command as soon as he was told. After the battle was over, he would definitely gain a lot. He also got to know Feng Mo, who would be of great use in the future. This man was very wise.

“Okay! Now let’s make strategic deployment. The Black Knights will form a cone formation with the Hurricane as the flagship.”

The reason why Feng Mo formed the fleet into a cone formation was not to lead the fleet to attack the Zerg mothership group, but to fight guerrilla warfare and constantly force the Zerg mothership group to change its attack route, so that they can gather more and facilitate the bombing by the T4 Scorpion that came from behind.

The two wings of the cone formation must be strong, and the tip of the formation is the strongest, but Feng Mo does not need it. He only needs the two wings. Then the entire fleet, under the command of Feng Mo, continued to engage in maneuvering battles with the Zerg mothership group. As soon as the two sides came into contact, a round of laser salvos were fired, and then they quickly pulled away.

Even if there were some Zerg motherships that came out rashly, they would just be food for the taking. So Feng Mo led the Black Knight fleet to circle around the Zerg mothership group a few times and destroyed at least two or three hundred Zerg motherships.

This is to use a high-speed fleet to bully these low-speed Zerg motherships. As long as the fleet’s energy can keep up, it is not difficult to completely wipe out this group of Zerg motherships, but it is very time-consuming, and Feng Mo does not have that much time.

“Commander, the T4 Scorpion is back.” Han Peipei reported.

Feng Mo was shocked after hearing this, he finally came back!
“Let’s make the battle deployment. T4 Scorpion will look for the best bombing location to conduct a blanket bombing. After one round of bombing, T4 Scorpion can directly return to the Hurricane System. The Black Knight Fleet will prepare to launch a charge with the Hurricane.”

“Yes!”

After the Mello sisters responded, they commanded four T4 Scorpions to come to the back of the Zerg mothership group. They could not get too close to the planet Z227, for fear that the projected shells would fall on the planet.

Finally, Melo found a perfect position, not too far from Planet Z227, and because of a gap left by the movement of a large number of Hive Motherships, four T4 Scorpions drove to the gap, and Melo immediately issued an attack order:
“Activate the automatic aiming system, focus on locking onto the enemy’s T3-class hive carrier, and secondarily lock onto the enemy’s T2-class hive carrier. The attack will be divided into three rounds. The first round will be an antimatter missile bombardment, the second round will be a proton torpedo and concussion missile bombardment, and the third round will be a kinetic beam missile and pulse torpedo bombardment!”

“Three rounds of coverage bombing will be launched in sequence!”

“Yes!”

Following Mello’s order, forty antimatter missiles were fired instantly and detonated in the middle of a large number of Zerg motherships, directly destroying the biological force fields of a large number of Zerg motherships.

After one round of explosions, the second and third rounds followed closely. The biological force field of the hive mothership is equivalent to the star shield of a starship. The hive mothership without a biological force field cannot withstand the two rounds of bombing by the T4 Scorpion relying solely on its surface biological armor.

Moreover, most of these hive motherships are T2 and T1, and the T3 class was specifically destroyed by Feng Mo’s Hurricane. Facing four T4 Scorpion-class stealth bombers, each missile or torpedo can destroy at least two hive motherships at the same time.

This is also closely related to the fact that they are too densely packed. Many of these T2 and T1 class Zerg motherships could not withstand the aftermath of the explosion. Three rounds of bombing by four T4 Scorpions broke up the formation of the entire Zerg mothership group and directly and indirectly destroyed more than a thousand Zerg motherships.

All of a sudden, the mothership group became sparse, and the besieged planet Z227 also revealed its spherical shape. After receiving the news from Feng Mo, the Devil Elephant rushed out of the atmosphere directly, smashed several T1-class Zerg motherships in succession, and then merged with the Hurricane.

At this time, there were still more than a thousand T2 and T1 hive motherships left. Naturally, they were no match for the hundreds of T4 and T3 mixed fleets, not to mention that the cooling time of the Hurricane’s main and secondary guns had expired.
