Chapter 596: The First Longkui-class Frigate Destroyed
At this time, the pilots in the frigate's cockpit were suffering from strong shocks and vibrations. They held the joystick tightly, trying to maintain their balance, trying to steer the shaky warship to continue escaping from danger.
Although their bodies and internal organs were shaken to pieces, they still relied on their tenacious will and superb skills, gritted their teeth and controlled the battleship, preparing to avoid the three-phase torpedoes that were about to attack again.
But fate did not seem to favor these brave warriors. Just when they were concentrating on dealing with the impact of the first explosion, several other three-phase torpedoes, like sharks smelling blood, took the opportunity to swarm towards the Longkui-class frigate.
They slammed mercilessly into the frigate's energy shield, triggering a series of earth-shaking explosions.
For a moment, flames shot up into the sky and the noise was deafening.
The entire Longkui-class frigate was completely engulfed in a sea of fire. Its energy shield finally couldn't withstand such a dense and fierce attack. It let out a desperate wail and turned into countless rays of light that dissipated into the void.
At the moment the energy shield disappeared, the Longkui-class frigate was like a lamb without shelter, exposed nakedly to the fierce attack of the three-phase torpedo.
As the energy shield dissipated, the originally indestructible deck instantly became fragile.
The terrifying high temperature brought by the explosion of the three-phase torpedo seemed to be able to ignite the entire universe, and the extremely violent shock wave was like a furious beast, ruthlessly tearing every inch of metal on the frigate.
The hard deck was powerless against this devastating force and was easily torn into countless pieces, scattering everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, the entire frigate began to burn fiercely in the starry sky like a giant torch, turning into a dazzling fireball.
"Nils, great job! You successfully destroyed an alien warship!" Excited shouts came from the communication channel.
"That's right, Nils, you are definitely the best aerospace fighter pilot among us!" Another comrade echoed excitedly.
"For the great Lord of the Stars! May his light always illuminate our path forward!"
The voices of more people gathered together, forming an exciting torrent that echoed endlessly in the communication channel.
When the pilots of the aerospace fighter unit witnessed with their own eyes the fighter plane piloted by Nils streaking across the sky like a shining meteor and successfully reducing a Nightshade-class frigate to ashes, the joy and pride in their hearts were simply beyond words.
Niels' brilliant victory undoubtedly gave everyone a shot in the arm and boosted everyone's confidence to an unprecedented level.
At this moment, they firmly believe that they are the next one chosen by the Lord of Stars who can defeat powerful enemies and destroy alien warships. Everyone's faith in the Lord of Stars is extremely firm.
Even though Jiel and Dorak were concentrating on commanding the Star Navy fleet to launch a fierce attack on the Eldar fleet, when they witnessed with their own eyes that one of their aerospace fighters successfully destroyed an Eldar warship.
The irrepressible excitement deep in my heart suddenly surged into my heart like a surging tide, and an ecstatic smile involuntarily broke out on my face.
Ji'er couldn't contain his joy and quickly switched to the communication channel where the aerospace fighter was located. His voice was full of praise:
"Nils, you did a great job! You were able to complete the mission so brilliantly and be the first to destroy a damn alien warship."
However, despite his excitement, Jier did not forget the battleship pilots who were still fighting hard but had not yet achieved significant results.
He suddenly roared into the fleet's internal communication channel, the deafening roar seemed to penetrate everyone's eardrums:
"Look at you lousy guys! You're driving a huge warship, but you're not even as good as a tiny fighter plane!
"Their fighter planes have already successfully destroyed an alien warship, but what about you? From the beginning of the battle until now, it has taken such a long time, and still nothing has been achieved! Don't you feel ashamed?"
This merciless rebuke was like a wake-up call, plunging the entire fleet into silence.
At this moment, the captain of a frigate finally couldn't help but break the silence, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness and grievance:
"Captain Ji'er, please stop blaming us! It's not that we're unwilling to fight, but these damned aliens are simply too cunning and insidious.
They always manage to cleverly dodge our artillery fire, making it incredibly difficult to hit their targets accurately!" As the captain spoke, his face flushed with shame.
"That's right, Captain Ji'er! These extremely hateful alien warships are difficult to hit! They are small and agile, and as slippery as loaches. It is too difficult for us to easily catch up with them and destroy them in one fell swoop!" One of the captains said with a sad face and a heavy tone.
Upon hearing this, the other captains couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, expressing their shared feelings. Facing this lightning-fast and highly agile Eldar fleet, they felt incredibly overwhelmed and helpless.
The Star Navy's warships have always been known for their excellent performance, but in this fierce battle, their sailing speed became a clear shortcoming.
In contrast, those Eldar warships that specialize in pursuing speed can shuttle between battlefields as fast as lightning, leaving others far behind.
Although the Star Navy's warships have strong defense and fierce firepower, they can cause huge damage to the enemy.
However, due to their speed disadvantage, they could only watch helplessly as the Eldar warships provoked them wantonly from a distance, and the Star Navy fleet could only rely on long-range weapons such as light spears and macro cannons to launch attacks.
However, such attacks often fail to hit their targets and cannot fundamentally reverse the course of the battle.
At the same time, the cunning Eldar seemed to have already figured out the weaknesses of the Star Navy. They knew that their warships were inferior to their opponents in terms of defense and firepower, so they had no intention of engaging the Star Navy's warships head-on.
Instead, they fully utilized the speed advantage of their warships, using guerrilla tactics to continuously harass and consume the energy reserves of the Star Navy warships. Although this tactic seemed simple and despicable, it was extremely effective.
Because as time goes by, the Star Navy fleet, after consuming a lot of energy, is unable to destroy the Aeldari warships, which will gradually wear out the fighting will of the Star Navy soldiers.
