Chapter 69: Success or Failure?
The shelling between the Archangel and the Archangel continued, but the situation was slightly unfavorable for the Archangel.
Because the Archangel was inserted into the Archangel's attack path under Niaoren's hard-line order, it was in a state of broadside confrontation and temporarily fell into a disadvantage.
Broadside confrontation caused the Archangel to have two fewer Valiant electromagnetic cannons in firepower than the Archangel, and the hit area was much larger than the Archangel. Especially in this situation, the Archangel could use the Positron Blaster Cannon, while the Archangel could only passively dodge, so Natarle Badgiruel simply didn't dare to let the suppressed Archangel stop to accommodate Li Boyong's Full Armor Dagger.
But Natarle Badgiruel's command technique was ultimately stronger than Murrue's. In the unfavorable situation of broadside confrontation, she issued several instructions quickly and continuously.
"Full speed ahead!"
"Main gun fire, ship bow down 20, decelerate by one-third."
"Anti-ship missile launch, ship bow up 15, full speed ahead!"
Natarle Badgiruel actually calculated the Archangel's attack rhythm, used the slight speed advantage during broadside confrontation, and made the Archangel's shelling miss completely through several speed changes, and also achieved a hit on the Archangel with the main gun.
This was thanks to Natarle Badgiruel's understanding of the personnel on the Archangel's bridge, knowing the length of the process from Murrue issuing orders to the main gun firing, and even calculating the CIC operation when she was not there.
At the same time, Natarle Badgiruel knew her Archangel like the back of her hand. In a state of knowing herself and the enemy, she fought a counterattack that was quite impressive in a disadvantageous situation.
"Tsk, irregular dodging movement, all gun ports maintain fire."
Murrue on the Archangel knew that her actions were seen through by Natarle Badgiruel, and hardened her heart, simply handing over the ship's dodging movement to the AI.
Murrue thought this could reduce Natarle Badgiruel's advantage, but little did she know that this was exactly Natarle Badgiruel's goal.
When the Archangel was no longer facing the Archangel during the dodging movement, Natarle Badgiruel knew the opportunity had come and issued a new order.
"All missiles fire together, anti-beam depth charges launch, accommodate the Full Armor Dagger, move quickly!"
Originally, when Natarle Badgiruel was forced by Niaoren to fight the Archangel, the thought of simply letting the Archangel be shot down flashed through her mind.
For a decent soldier like Natarle Badgiruel, the war had reached this point, and there was no military honor to speak of.
All there was, was despicable slaughter and ugly human nature.
So she very much hoped that Murrue could sink the Archangel and then destroy the Peace Maker team's mothership cluster.
But Li Boyong's signal of returning after being hit made Natarle Badgiruel have to give up this self-abandoning plan.
She didn't want to abandon Li Boyong again like she did in the Pacific.
She admitted that this was no longer just a superior's persistence for a subordinate, but also a woman's attachment to a man.
Sorry, Murrue, I can't do it to abandon him again.
Niaoren, who was already nervous in the battle, was furious when he heard this order from Natarle Badgiruel, pulled out a pistol and roared at Natarle Badgiruel: "Is this the time to seek private interest and save your little white face?"
Niaoren felt that if it weren't for the fact that Natarle Badgiruel's series of command performances just now were excellent, he would probably have already shot Natarle Badgiruel.
"There is still a machine left in the hangar, and he will become an important combat force to turn defeat into victory."
Natarle Badgiruel was not moved by Niaoren's rudeness, and ignored the pistol aimed at her, just explained calmly, and continued to command the battle.
"Tell the hangar to move quickly, the anti-beam depth charges won't last long!"
"Missiles approaching, quantity 4."
The radar operator's shrill shout rang out on the bridge. Natarle Badgiruel continued to command calmly under the muzzle of the gun: "Vulcan cannon intercept, don't let the Full Armor Dagger be shot down!"
"Cut..."
Niaoren carried the pistol, his face turning blue and white. Although he wished he could shoot Natarle Badgiruel who had just treated him with this attitude, he also knew that it would be better to let her live and continue to command at such a time.
He put away the pistol and sat back in his seat, but a fierce afterglow flashed in his eyes staring at Natarle Badgiruel.
Just wait, after this battle is won, I must humiliate you fiercely in front of that little white face, and then torture that little white face to death in front of you, making you a sow for the rest of your life.
Li Boyong, who had been watching the whole process, saw the Archangel decelerate and release anti-beam depth charges, and understood Natarle Badgiruel's intention to accommodate him, so he hurriedly flew toward the Archangel.
When the Archangel's landing permission arrived and the hatch just opened, Li Boyong had already entered the landing posture piloting the Full Armor Dagger. The maintenance crew on the deck didn't have time to guide it, and the Full Armor Dagger had already landed steadily on the deck in an unguided state, and the maintenance crew immediately fed back to the bridge.
"Close the hatch, Archangel full speed ahead, let the Captain change to a Strike Dagger and sortie."
Natarle Badgiruel issued the order neatly.
After the Archangel accommodated the Full Armor Dagger, it accelerated again. The Archangel's main gun fire passed through the failed anti-beam depth charge array and hit the place where the Archangel had just stayed.
It must be said that Natarle Badgiruel's decision to accommodate Li Boyong during the battle was really very risky, but she actually succeeded.
The battle between the Archangel and the Archangel restarted, and the duel between the same type of ships continued.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was very close, and they began to achieve obvious shelling results, and the hulls of both sides suffered varying degrees of damage.
After the Full Armor Dagger was accommodated from the deck into the hangar, Li Boyong immediately left his machine. In the process of floating away from the machine, he looked back at the Full Armor Dagger that had been hit, and couldn't help but hiss.
I saw that the external armor at the two hit points of the machine had completely melted and deformed, and the internal structure inside was completely exposed, and electric sparks flashed from time to time.
Because it was impossible to see the external situation inside the cockpit, now that Li Boyong suddenly saw the damage to the machine, he naturally couldn't help but feel a lingering fear and distraction.
If Natarle Badgiruel hadn't configured a 105 Dagger equipped with Phase Shift Armor for him, he should have been cold in that wave of DRAGOON attacks.
However, Li Boyong quickly restrained his emotions and immediately floated toward the passage leading directly to the bridge.
"Captain, where are you going? The Captain wants you to hurry up and change to a Strike Dagger and sortie!"
The maintenance crew chief's shout came from the communicator inside the helmet, but Li Boyong ignored it.
After entering the passage, the vibration inside the ship became frequent, which was a manifestation of the ship being hit.
Li Boyong knew that the Archangel's attack was continuing, and Mula Flaga must be entangled by Rau Le Creuset, and had no time to convey his intentions to Murrue.
Must speed up!
Li Boyong moved along the shortcut to the bridge with ease. When passing a locker at a certain corner, he took out an assault rifle, and then when he appeared at the next intersection, there were two more magazines and a bag of military explosives in his hand.
These things were all things he had hidden by taking advantage of his position before, just for this one opportunity today.
Seeing that he was about to reach the bridge, Li Boyong had already visualized the scene of himself breaking into the bridge and shooting Niaoren in his mind.
But suddenly there was an explosion, followed by a violent vibration of the ship, and a gate fell straight down in front of Li Boyong, blocking his way. ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
