Slave Merchant Starport Command Center
"Report! The flagship of the Second Fleet appears to have been captured by enemy starships. We have lost contact with Commander Skinny Monkey!"
"Report! The flagship of the Third Fleet is being pincered by two enemy T3 interstellar warships and has lost communications."
Eldest Brother Big Eye King listened to these grim reports while staring at the starship list on the screen, now darkened by a third.
So far, he had lost over a thousand starships, the vast majority of which were T3 and T2 interstellar warships.
These were his main force starships!
And what about enemy casualties?
Up to now, they had only severely damaged one enemy T2 Star Escort Ship, but that vessel had already withdrawn to the vicinity of the enemy's T3 Heavy Carrier Starship under the escort of friendly ships.
Beyond that, there were only the meager results of destroying a few enemy T3 Starfighters and T3 Star Drones.
He began pounding the control panel in front of him with a touch of madness. His subordinates nearby watched fearfully but dared not intervene.
"Who is it! Who are they! Who the hell are these people!" Eldest Brother Big Eye King roared hysterically.
"Warning! Warning! Warning! Multiple unidentified units detected around our starport!" Suddenly, alarm sirens blared.
Compared to starship radar, the starport's radar, though lacking anti-stealth equipment, was faster and more responsive.
Subsequently, various equipment and software systems within the command center began to malfunction one after another.
"Warning! Ten enemy T3 Star Battlecruisers have appeared on the starport's flank!"
Ten?
Eldest Brother Big Eye King was stunned, but he quickly realized this was all part of the enemy's plan.
First, they used the interstellar fleet centered around the T3 Heavy Carrier Starship to lure him into mobilizing his own fleet for an encirclement.
In reality, the enemy had kept ten T3 Star Battlecruisers waiting in reserve on the periphery.
Once everything was in place, these T3 Star Battlecruisers could strike at this moment.
T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser No. 1 · Bridge
Captain Charlotte looked at a red marker position highlighted within the starport on her display—the mission target location sent by the commander.
Her mission was to dispatch mecha troops to infiltrate this location and capture the target alive!
Simultaneously, she was to secure several areas within the starport where slaves were held, ensuring their safety until evacuation.
"Report! Our ten T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruisers have reached their designated positions.
The T3 White Phoenix-class Electronic Warfare Star Drones have initiated electronic interference against the starport. Over 80% of electronic equipment is disabled. We have a five-minute action window!" a subordinate reported to Captain Charlotte.
Captain Charlotte immediately issued orders: "First, use the Bow Cannons to blast openings at several locations on the starport. Then, deploy stellar drones to cooperate with the Black Knight Interstellar Combat Mechs for entry into the starport.
I want the entire starport under our control in the shortest possible time!"
"Understood!"
The ten T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruisers began launching artillery strikes against specific areas of the starport. Following the bombardment, Blizzard-class Starship Drones were deployed.
Pairs of Black Knight-class Light Star Combat Mecha landed on the starport.
Faint explosions and flashes of light could be seen erupting within the starport.
"Battle Zone One cleared!"
"Battle Zone Three cleared!"
"Mecha Squad Six has discovered a slave prison holding approximately three thousand slaves."
"Mecha Squad Seven has located a slave concentration camp..."
One report after another came in, all relayed back to the rear command aboard the T3 Phoenix-class Heavy Carrier Starship.
Zhao Chen observed the interstellar war that had been raging for over an hour.
"Commander, so far, the enemy's Fourth and Fifth Fleets have suffered combat loss rates exceeding 80%, with their flagships destroyed. The flagships of the Second and Third Fleets have also been destroyed, temporarily paralyzing their command systems, with loss rates reaching 50%. The only fleet still maintaining somewhat intact combat capability is the First Fleet, which is attempting to breach our defensive lines. This First Fleet is also the one containing the only three remaining T3 interstellar warships," reported Secretary Officer Lilith beside him.
Deputy Captain Red Eye added, "To date, we have annihilated approximately 1,500 enemy starships, with an additional 500 trapped within the starport. Currently, the enemy has fewer than 1,000 starships remaining with any combat capability. This includes three remaining T3 interstellar warships, fewer than 200 T2 interstellar warships, and over 800 T1 starships.
Regarding the losses of our interstellar fleet:
-
One T3 Blizzard, hull number 07, has exhausted its star shield energy, with overall hull integrity remaining at 70%. It has been ordered to withdraw to the secondary battle line.
-
One T2 Black Rhinoceros-class interstellar heavy assault frigate has been severely damaged and withdrawn from combat.
-
Five T2 Black Rhinoceros-class interstellar heavy assault frigates have seen their overall starship armor integrity drop to 50% and have been pulled back to the secondary battle line.
Losses aboard the T3 Phoenix-class Heavy Carrier Starship are as follows:
-
Five T3 Phoenix-class Starfighters lost, seventeen severely damaged.
-
One T3 Fire Phoenix-class Heavy Stellar Stealth Bomber severely damaged but successfully returned to base.
-
One hundred and three T3 Black Phoenix-class Medium Starship Drones lost, over four hundred severely damaged.
So far, seventy-nine personnel are injured, with two hundred and thirty-two sustaining minor injuries of varying degrees. All have been received and are undergoing treatment aboard the T3 Andromeda-class Interstellar Medical Ship. There are currently no reported fatalities."
Such an impressive combat report.
Zhao Chen couldn't help but marvel at it.
This was the terrifying combat capability of an elite interstellar fleet, this was the battlefield dominance of a T3 Heavy Carrier Starship, one of the mainstay warships.
Of course, credit was also due to the coordinated efforts of the T3 Phantom Sting-class Light Interstellar Stealth Bomber and the T2 Lion King-class Heavy Interstellar Missile Ship.
The current tactics of the Fierce Dragon Fleet relied on the T3 Phantom Sting and T2 Lion King to execute a round of decapitation strikes followed by a round of firepower bombardment. These two rounds of unstoppable opening attacks directly destroyed the enemy fleet's strongest starship forces and created chaos.
Subsequently, large numbers of stellar fighters and interstellar drone swarms were dispatched to deliver the finishing blows.
After that came the conventional fleet's frontal engagement. Relying on the terrifying combat capability of the T3 Blizzard, T2 Snow Mastiff, and T2 Black Rhino on the frontline battlefield, victory in this battle was secured.
Of course, the T3 White Phoenix-class Electronic Warfare Star Drone also delivered an outstanding performance.
"Report, target individual Skinny Monkey has been apprehended."
"Report, target individual Scarface has been apprehended."
"Report, target individual Big Eye King is under our control. One-third of the starport area is now under our control."
Hearing the series of good news reported from below.
Zhao Chen looked at Red Eyes beside him, who could hardly conceal her excitement. He smiled faintly and said, "It's time to end this battle."
Subsequently, Zhao Chen issued the order for a general offensive to all T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruisers, T2 Snow Mastiff-class Heavy Interstellar Battleships, and T2 Black Rhinoceros-class Interstellar Heavy Assault Frigates on the frontline battlefield.
Fight independently, annihilate all enemy ships!
"In a moment, I'll let you personally deal with your enemies." Zhao Chen smiled as he looked at Red Eyes beside him.
Red Eyes' eyes were already moist; she was struggling to control her emotions at this moment.
She raised her hand and slowly removed the mask from her face. Holding the mask, she placed her hand over her chest and saluted Commander Zhao Chen with a military gesture.
"Commander, on behalf of the fallen comrades of the Bloody Mary Mercenary Corps... I thank you... truly... thank you so much..."
As she spoke,
A single tear of blood trickled from the corner of her crimson eyes.
Only now did Zhao Chen truly see the true face of this starship crew member before him.
On her forehead, there was actually a small, red horn...
