Chapter 2585 Kizaru's Fleet Encounters Spring Rain!
Chapter 2585 Kizaru's Fleet Encounters Spring Rain!
In the vast expanse of the universe.
A massive fleet of nearly six hundred warships is moving forward silently like a steel torrent.
Battleships, cruisers, destroyers, frigates, transport ships
The ships stood in orderly formation, their silhouettes fluttering.
Their uniform blue and white paint job is solemn and cold.
The black five-circle cross on one side of the ship is the imposing mark of the World Government.
The blue seagull design on the other side represents the eternal pride of the navy's will.
Inside the bridge command room of the Red Line Continental-class Warhammer battleship 'Freya'.
Borsalino wearing light-colored sunglasses with a yellowish tint.
He was sitting with his legs crossed, deeply immersed in the soft, comfortable seat.
He was humming a song, holding a copy of "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle" manga in his left hand, reading it with great interest.
Then look at the table in front of him.
A cup of hot coffee releases its fragrant aroma.
On the porcelain plate next to it, five peeled bananas with enticingly colored flesh were neatly arranged.
Thanks to the efficient teleportation technology between the fleet and the Navy Headquarters.
They can obtain ample supplies and leisure activities wherever they are.
Their living conditions were certainly not bad.
In front of and to the sides of Borsalino, technicians stood guard at their control panels, exchanging quiet conversations from time to time.
Each screen displays radar charts, data streams, and various signal patterns.
The entire scene was orderly and enveloped in an almost languid atmosphere of tranquility.
Their First Fleet has been away from Haixing for nearly four months.
Although it doesn't look very long.
However, they have already clashed with the Galactic Empire's fleet more than ten times.
However, none of them are very large in scale.
The largest instance was when they joined forces with the Sea Star government fleet to successfully ambush a squadron of over a hundred warships.
This has made them a thorn in the side of the Galactic Empire's Seventh Fleet.
Fortunately, the guerrilla strategy was decided from the beginning: fight if you can win, run if you can't.
They occasionally attack industrial planets or space bases within the enemy's territory.
Borsalino didn't know how angry the Galactic Empire was, but he knew he was living a pretty comfortable life.
He's even starting to like this kind of life.
Sudden.
A communications technician's exclamation shattered the tranquility of the bridge.
"report!"
"Lieutenant Admiral Lan from the Amun-La sent back a message."
"The vanguard fleet was intercepted by a foreign fleet calling itself the 'Spring Rain 10th Division'."
"This is detailed information."
"The other side demanded that all of us give up resistance and surrender immediately, or they would open fire and annihilate us."
"They even said we were incredibly unlucky to have accidentally stumbled into their important stronghold, the 'Southern Sky Tower' star system."
"Lieutenant General Lan requests instructions as soon as possible!"
Borsalino, who had been leisurely all along, raised his eyebrows in surprise upon hearing this.
He uttered a drawn-out, enigmatic sound with a crooked mouth.
"Oh~"
"Spring Rain. I remember this was a group of pirates?"
The technician immediately replied, "Yes, Spring Rain is said to be the largest space pirate group within the Galactic Empire, with twelve divisions under its command!"
"How scary!"
Borsalino made his usual remark.
He then picked up a banana and gave the order.
"Have them clear the way immediately, but don't forget to capture some prisoners."
He never expected to encounter such an accident on his way to Edo.
Since that's the case, let's just take care of it.
After all, how can the Navy turn a blind eye to pirates?
"Yes, General Kizaru!"
the other side.
Niu Li, the commander of the 10th Division of the Spring Rain Army, also ordered the fleet to prepare for battle.
He didn't believe the other side would really surrender without a fight.
But what can a mere twenty-eight warships do in resisting?
There are at least a hundred ships here!
Let alone such a large gap in military strength, even if the military strength were equal, or even if our side were at a disadvantage.
I'm confident I can crush them!
The only problem is that the enemy's warships look a bit strange, quite different from the mainstream styles of major planets.
It looks more rugged.
In an instant.
The star system where the vanguard fleets of both sides were located was illuminated as if it were daytime by the crisscrossing laser cannons.
An attack formation consisting of more than fifty Spring Rain warships.
It should have had an overwhelming advantage in firepower density.
however.
The battle situation immediately defied all expectations.
Just as the dense and deadly laser beams were about to strike the twenty-eight warships under Lieutenant General Lan's command.
A pale blue electromagnetic glow suddenly rippled across the surface of each ship.
A unique energy shield is formed to deflect and dissipate the energy of the beam.
at the same time.
The salvo from the vanguard fleet struck the Spring Rain fleet's formation squarely.
Thick, long golden laser beams tore through the opponent's armor.
A massive explosion then erupted, silently bursting forth in the dark space.
The spring rain caused visible damage in an instant.
This scene immediately shocked all members of the 10th Division.
"An energy shield?!"
Man as his name suggests.
Commander Niu Li, who looked exactly like a minotaur, had his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
"How could they possibly have such technology? Could it be the Galactic Empire's military fleet?"
"That's not right either."
After regaining his senses, his eyes were filled with excitement and greed, and he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Immediately relay this message to Admiral Adai!"
"This is a big fish, and it came to us of its own accord. We must eat it!"
"And have the preceding spaceships rush forward immediately to board the ship!"
"We must not cause too much damage to their warships!"
Regiment Commander Niu Li has already taken over the vanguard fleet led by Lieutenant General Lan.
It could be considered as a civilization that was fortunate enough to acquire energy shield technology.
This is not impossible.
After all, every planet that can enter the interstellar age will experience several technological explosions.
Therefore, there are always some technologies that other civilizations do not have.
"hehe."
Ran, who was born in the Qin Empire of the Imperial Arms world and served as Kizaru's lieutenant for many years.
He chuckled as he looked at the three-dimensional battlefield sand table composed of holographic virtual images in front of him.
"As expected of pirates, you're in such a hurry to board the ship. However, our method of boarding is slightly different from yours."
All of a sudden.
The surrounding frigates released a hive of unmanned carrier-based aircraft and hundreds of Kraken Claw-type assault drop pods, creating an overwhelming cloud of activity.
Especially the latter.
Driven by the ferocious thrust of their blue tail flames, these death beacons fearlessly met the oncoming Spring Rain warships.
The two rapidly approached each other in the vast, cold void.
It's like a two-way rush between a steel storm and a moving mountain range.
Just as the commanders of the ships of the 'Tenth Division' were wondering about this.
The first batch of airdrop pods that successfully broke through the defenses were like hot, sharp knives piercing butter.
They repeatedly smashed through the outer armor of the warship and brutally chiseled into the ship's interior.
The interior of a Spring Rain warship.
The air here seems to have frozen.
Thirty or forty alien pirates of various skin colors and appearances.
He gripped his sword and gun tightly, staring intently at the assault vehicle that had crashed into him.
However, the anticipated devastating explosion did not occur.
Until a suffocating silence of ten seconds or so.
One of the closest space pirates tried to approach and investigate.
But just as he took two steps, the assault bay door burst open.
【Shua————】
A blur shot out at a speed beyond visual perception.
The sword flashed.
The man's head had been detached from his neck and thrown into the air.
His stunned expression suggested he was still pondering what had happened.
With a whoosh, blood gushed out, and the headless corpse fell heavily onto the metal floor.
