Chapter 906: The Fengqi Fleet Coming to Silence Witnesses
In space, the Raven Guard fleet simultaneously launched thousands of decoys, forming a massive stream of interference.
At the same time, each ship began irregular maneuvers to avoid being locked on.
The Fengqi Fleet fired first.
Five particle beams shot out from the battleship's main guns, tearing through the void and heading straight for the Raven Guard formation.
Despite the interference cloud, two beams scored direct hits.
The Void Shield of a Raven Guard frigate flickered violently before collapsing, and the hull was gouged with deep scars.
Another beam struck a captured merchant ship, which instantly turned into an exploding Fireball.
"The 'Raven Blade' is damaged, Void Shield offline! Emergency repairs underway!"
"Captured ship destroyed, all personnel lost."
Sairuoluo immediately issued an order.
"Return fire! Concentrate fire on the lead battleship's weapon platforms!"
The Main Laser Cannon Array of the 'Raven' roared, and several powerful laser beams shot toward the enemy fleet's flagship.
Simultaneously, the other Raven Guard warships opened fire, with lasers and Missiles flying toward the Star Alliance fleet.
The Fengqi Star Alliance fleet formation shifted flexibly, with tacit cooperation between ships and reasonable fire distribution.
The ship-borne shields effectively withstood the first wave of Raven Guard attacks, with only a few weaker frigates being destroyed.
A Raven Guard tech-marine reported.
"Their shield technology is advanced; we need to concentrate fire to effectively penetrate it."
Sairuoluo nodded and ordered.
"Change tactics. Second and Fifth Squadrons, conduct harassment attacks to distract them. The main force will concentrate fire on that Cruiser on the right to weaken their escort strength first."
The Raven Guard fleet immediately executed the order.
Two squadrons of frigates accelerated forward, firing Missiles and lasers at the Fengqi Fleet from different directions, forcing the opponent to disperse their defensive fire.
Meanwhile, the 'Raven' and two Dreadnought-class Light Cruisers concentrated their fire, pouring firepower onto a Star Alliance Cruiser on the right.
The Cruiser's ship-borne shields overloaded under the concentrated attack, and the hull suffered direct hits.
A turret was destroyed, and debris scattered in all directions.
The stricken Cruiser immediately returned fire, and several thick Plasma beams struck a Raven Guard frigate, penetrating the frigate's armor.
"Engine damaged, speed reduced by 30%!"
"Order the boarding party to prepare. We are going to engage in close-quarters combat."
Corax's voice came through the comms.
"Boarding operation approved. Priority targets: the flagship and any ships attempting to retreat. I want to know the Star Alliance's true purpose."
"Understood, Father."
As the order was given, the Raven Guard fleet began to push forward, closing the distance.
The Fengqi Fleet wanted to maintain distance, but the Raven Guard's harassment tactics effectively limited their maneuvering space.
Finally, the 'Raven' approached boarding range.
Dozens of Assault Pods were launched toward the Fengqi flagship.
Company Commander Kexisi led the first wave of the boarding party, penetrating the outer shell of the Fengqi flagship.
The moment the blast doors opened, dense fire flew toward them.
Kexisi reported on the comms channel.
"They anticipated our boarding."
Corax's voice sounded.
"Break through quickly. I need that captain and the navigation data."
The Anya Shouwei advanced in standard clearing formation, with Bolters and Plasma Weapons exchanging fire with the defenders' energy and Plasma Weapons.
The corridor was filled with the light of various weapons firing and explosions, and both sides had men fall.
A Fengqi soldier fired a shoulder-mounted Missile launcher, and the rocket hit a Anya Shouwei directly.
The explosion knocked him back several steps, damaging his Power Armor, but the Anya Shouwei returned fire with a three-round burst from his Bolter, hitting the missile gunner in the head.
Kexisi reported while fighting.
"Their weapons can cause effective damage to our Power Armor."
But the Raven Guard's advantage remained clear.
Their reaction speed, shooting accuracy, and tactical coordination far exceeded the enemy.
Even though the Fengqi soldiers resisted stubbornly, the defensive line was still pushed forward step by step.
At an intersection, the fighting was particularly intense.
The Fengqi soldiers had set up Automatic Turrets and Energy Barriers, sealing off the entire corridor with firepower.
"Need special weapons, Melta or Plasma."
"Approved. Second team, provide suppressing fire!"
Several Anya Shouwei stepped forward, using Meltaguns and Plasma Cannons to attack the barriers and turrets.
The high-temperature energy melted through the fortifications, but the Fengqi soldiers immediately retreated and reorganized their defensive line.
"They are stalling for time; they might be destroying data or preparing for self-destruction."
"Accelerate the advance. Second boarding party, attack the engine room to distract them."
When the second team of Anya Shouwei launched an attack in the stern area, the resistance weakened significantly.
Kexisi seized the opportunity and launched an all-out assault.
"Victory or death!"
Kexisi shouted as he charged through the shattered barrier.
Kexisi swung his Chainsword, tearing through the Fengqi soldiers' defensive line.
Other Anya Shouwei followed closely behind, using their Bolters to pick off the enemies they saw.
Kexisi's squad soon reached the entrance to the Bridge.
There were not only multiple layers of Energy Barrier here, but also a squad of elite Fengqi guards, standing by in their Power Armor.
Seeing this scene, Kexisi spoke over the communication channel.
"The final line of defense, use heavy weapons."
On the Bridge of the Raven, Sairuoluo monitored the overall battle situation.
The battle in space remained intense; although the Raven Guard held the upper hand, the resistance of the Fengqi Fleet had not ceased.
"Energy anomaly detected!"
The sensor officer reported suddenly.
"The enemy fleet is organizing some kind of formation... they are concentrating energy!"
"Analyze the pattern!"
The technical sergeant operated the Control Console and reported.
"It is similar to a coordinated fire mode... but the energy signal is abnormally powerful. They are using some kind of joint attack!"
The holographic projection showed five Fengqi Battleships adjusting their positions to form a pentagonal array.
Their bows began to emit an intense glow of energy.
"Calculate the target area!"
"The target is... Shadow Star! They intend to bombard the planet's surface!"
Corax's voice suddenly cut into the communication.
"Stop them!"
Sairuoluo immediately ordered.
"All ships, use full force to interfere with those five Battleships! Disrupt their targeting!"
The Raven Guard fleet charged toward the Fengqi Battleships with all their might.
Firepower poured onto the charging enemy ships, even as they exposed themselves to attacks from the enemy escort fleet.
A Raven Guard Frigate rammed directly into the broadside of a Battleship, successfully causing that Battleship to deviate from its aiming direction.
"Interference effective! But three more are still aiming!"
Just then, Kexisi's voice came through from the boarding operation.
"Bridge breached! Controlling the fire control system now!"
A few minutes later, the main battery of a Fengqi Battleship suddenly changed direction and fired at an adjacent friendly ship.
The massive particle beam struck the engine section of the other Battleship directly, triggering a chain reaction of explosions.
"Kexisi succeeded! Concentrate fire on the damaged enemy ship!"
The Raven Guard fleet concentrated its firepower on the damaged Battleship.
Its ship-borne shields were already overloaded, its armor collapsed under the attack, and it finally turned into a Fireball.
The Fengqi Fleet's formation was thrown into chaos, and the coordinated attack was broken.
The remaining Battleships were still resisting, but defeat was already a foregone conclusion.
