Long Range Bombardment

During the fifth round of shelling, some of the patrol fleet's assault ships could not keep up with the rhythm and opened fire a little later.

The purpose of concentrated fire shelling is to form coverage and increase the hit rate, so the rhythm naturally needs to be consistent, otherwise there is no coverage effect.

　　After completing five rounds of salvos, the escort fleet began to release Mie particles according to Chen Shayi's instructions.

　　And slightly adjusted the course, while adjusting the formation back to a sphere, still maintaining the combat speed, and moving towards the wormhole.

　　This is to avoid long-range artillery retaliation from the opponent.

　　There is no intention to turn to the White Fang Star Pirates and take the initiative to engage in battle.

　　At this point, Chen Shayi's mind is quite clear.

　　They have always had only one goal, that is, to return to the hinterland of the Baron's territory through the wormhole.

　　Once entangled with the opponent, who knows whether the White Fang Star Pirates will have follow-up reinforcements.

　　A few minutes later, the White Fang Star Pirates, who were also rushing towards their destination, finally found the trace of the escort fleet.

　　"Report to the leader, the target has been found!"

　　Before White Fang and Huang Bing could react, the radar operator's shrill shout rang out.

　　"Alert, beyond visual range bombardment!"

　　A sharp alarm sounded.

　　"Activate shields! Everyone evade! Spread Mie particles!"

　　White Fang reacted immediately.

　　In the first round of beyond visual range attacks, it was meaningless to rely on the emergency evasion of the warship itself.

　　Emergency evasion also requires reaction time.

　　On the contrary, activating the energy shield is more reliable.

　　He was not worried about the White Fang.

　　The armor on Fire warships are much stronger than that of the assault ship.

　　Mainly because the assault ship, which could not carry an energy shield, had a lower defensive performance than the Fire warship.

　　The energy shield of the White Fang began to activate. The activation time of 20 seconds was not long, but it seemed to be a bit behind the pace when facing beyond visual range attacks.

　　After the evasion order was issued, it had not been executed in time. The first round of long-range concentrated fire from the escort fleet had already fallen on the White Fang Star Pirates fleet.

　　"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

　　Several loud noises.

　　Although in the vacuum of the universe, sound lacks a propagation medium and cannot be transmitted normally.

　　But in the hearts of every member of the White Fang Star Pirates, the fire sparked by any warship being hit was like the sound of a drum hitting their chest. The White Fang, located at the front of the fleet, was the first to be hit, and two high-speed kinetic shells hit its bow hard.

　　The White Fang, whose energy shield was still in the process of activation, could only use the armor module to withstand the damage.

　　"Bombardment! Armor of the bow damaged 56%!"

　　The cold reminder sound of the ship's optical computer sounded.

　　"Damage control, perform emergency repairs immediately!"

　　White Fang roared, and then turned his attention to other members of the Star Pirates.

　　With the White Fang's thick skin and flesh, the first round of bombardment could only be regarded as causing minor injuries, and did not affect the White Fang's combat effectiveness.

　　With the activation of the energy shield, the White Fang was not afraid even if there were subsequent bombardments.

　　Moreover, with the rapid spread of Mie particles, the opponent lost the precise shooting coordinate element, and the hit rate of this long-range bombardment would drop to a level close to zero.

Mainly, how much damage will be suffered by other assault ships in the White Fang Star Thief Group.

Soon, the damage results were summarized on the White Fang.

　　In the first round of long-range concentrated fire, in addition to the White Fang being hit by two rounds, three assault ships were hit, one of which was hit moderately and two were slightly damaged.

　　"It's just a round of long-range artillery fire, our White Fang Star Pirates can handle it!"

　　White Fang smiled at Huang Bing, whose face was a little pale.

　　He felt that this result was acceptable, and it did not affect the overall combat effectiveness of the White Fang Star Pirates.

　　Being taken advantage of by the opponent was a little bit uncomfortable for the White Fang Star Pirates, who were used to ambush to gain the initiative.

　　But luck seemed to be on the side of the White Fang Star Pirates.

　　The first round of long-range concentrated fire from the escort fleet had a hit rate of less than 25%.

　　This made the White Fang Star Pirates a little embarrassed, but there was no loss of personnel, and they still maintained sufficient morale.

　　Before White Fang's bold words fell, he didn't wait for Huang Bing to force a smile to be a supporting role.

　　"Alert, over-the-horizon bombardment!"

　　The radar operator's shrill cry rang out again!

　　"Don't be afraid, we have already evaded, the opponent's second round of bombardment is just a matter of luck!"

　　White Fang is worthy of being a veteran bandit, calm and composed.

　　The energy shield of the White Fang has been activated, and its resistance to such long-range bombardment has been greatly enhanced.

　　As for the other assault ships, White Fang thinks it is not a big problem.

　　The hit rate of the first round of bombardment is less than 25%, not to mention the second round of bombardment.

　　"This ship is intact!"

　　Soon, the damage control personnel brought White Fang good news.

　　In the second round of bombardment, the White Fang was not hit by any energy bombs.

　　In addition, two assault ships were hit, both of which were lightly damaged.

　　The hit rate is less than 10%.

　　"¨〃White Fang was lightly damaged, one assault ship was moderately damaged, and four were lightly damaged.

　　The regular fleet of Baron Blackstone is only of this level.

　　Even if they have the first move, they still can't do anything to us!

　　The Cybone Pirates will be here soon, and we will attack from both sides. Brothers, don't let the Cybone Pirates suppress us and ruin the reputation of our White Fang!"

　　White Fang laughed in the internal communication channel of the fleet.

　　Within the range of Mie particles, only this kind of close-range communication is less disturbed and can be used normally.

　　This is not arrogance, but stabilizing the situation.

　　Two rounds of long-range artillery fire confused some of the mobs in the White Fang Pirates, and White Fang had to take this approach of belittling the opponent to strengthen its will to fight.

　　Because next, before the Cybone Pirates arrive, the White Fang Pirates will take the initiative to snipe the escort fleet with relatively inferior forces to delay time.

　　This is not an easy job and requires sufficient morale.

　　Otherwise, even if is White Fang, he dare not guarantee how long these guys under his command who bully the weak and fear the strong can maintain their fighting spirit in a disadvantageous situation.

　　"Don't worry, leader, let the Cybone Pirates see how powerful we are!"

　　"We White Fang are not afraid of Cybone, hahaha!"

　　"I will go first in the assault, watch me break through the formation and show my power!"

　　...

　　There was a ghost howling in the communication channel.

　　Fortunately, White Fang's prestige is not bad, and his men still gave positive feedback to his encouragement.

　　"Mr. Butler, how long will it take for the Cybone Pirates to arrive? We are about to meet the enemy!"

　　After closing the communication channel, White Fang asked Huang Bing again.

　　"Don't worry, leader White Fang, the Cybone Pirates are nearby, as long as we delay a little, we can get there."

　　Huang Bing gave a positive guarantee.

　　"Alarm, beyond-visual-range artillery fire!"

　　The radar operator's shrill cry rang again!
