"What's going on!?"
"Didn't they say no other ships were detected?!"
"Could it be that this merchant escort fleet, frightened by our attack, dares to interfere with our psychic engine?!"
“Damn it!!”
The leader of the Red Horn Pirates cursed loudly and hurriedly controlled the ship at the same time.
"How long will it take for the Psychic Jump Engine to restart!"
"Check it out for me now!!"
Immediately, the crew member in charge of the psychic jump engine checked and reported: "Captain, it will take at least sixteen days to re-enter the warp."
After hearing the time, the leader of the Red Horns was no longer in a hurry.
He looked at the merchant fleet that had begun to retreat, knowing that there must be other ships around.
But as the leader of an interstellar pirate, Red Horn was no timid man. After realizing that there was no escape route through the warp jump, he gave the order with a stern smile:
"Get on with it! Take down this merchant escort fleet first!"
"Come on! Kids!!!"
Accompanied by the roar of Red Horn, the pirate ships chased towards Matt's merchant escort fleet at an even faster speed.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and at the same time, various laser cannons, plasma jet cannons, and even kinetic cannons were firing continuously.
In the dark starry sky, it is like dazzling beams of light blooming.
But Matt was not panicking now, because his ships were about to withdraw from the battlefield, and what was coming towards him was Li Xin's main fleet.
Li Xin brought twenty destroyers this time. It can be said that these twenty destroyers can capture all the pirate fleets.
Not to mention, there are fifty frigates and ten torpedo boats.
When the subspace trap was opened, Li Xin's fleet no longer needed to hide, and the main guns of the ships, which had already charged, began to fire.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!!”
Beams of light and dazzling laser cannons began to fire.
“Boom!!”
All of a sudden, more than a dozen small gunboats chasing Matt's escort fleet were hit by the destroyer's main gun.
The laser beam instantly penetrated the gunboat's plasma shield, followed by the gunboat's armor, and finally the huge energy flow directly blew up the entire ship.
At this moment, the pirates' gunboat was like a firework ignited in the universe.
The armor and equipment on the gunboat were turned into flying fragments in the explosion.
The energy inside the ship was ignited, and blue flames and electric arcs surged wildly in an instant, and then quickly extinguished due to lack of oxygen.
The pirates on the ship, whether they were the crew members driving the ship or the pirates ready to board and fight at any time, were all killed by this attack.
The pirates who faced the laser beam were directly vaporized by the high-energy laser beam, and the other crew members and pirates were also torn to pieces in the explosion.
Some unlucky ones did not die directly in the explosion, but their space suits or power armor were damaged, and they would suffocate to death in space.
This is not the most unfortunate thing. The most unfortunate thing is that some people are unharmed and the space suits they wear are also fine.
But after the ship is destroyed, they will drift aimlessly in space.
If no one rescues them, they will suffocate, starve to death, or freeze to death in the lonely space.
The fleet's round of firing instantly stunned the pirates. There was too much firepower and the attack power was extremely strong.
This is completely different from the firepower of Matt's merchant escort fleet.
As the fleet opened fire, the cloaking force field naturally disappeared.
The pirates' ships were also able to detect the ships participating in the battle.
Looking at the series of signals representing ships on the electronic instruments, the heart of the red-horned leader suddenly hung in the air.
He murmured, "How can there be so many!?"
The enemy's fleet, with destroyers alone, is almost equal to all of his main battleships, even though his main battleships are second-generation frigates and destroyers.
A single salvo from the enemy blew up several modified armed transport ships and more than a dozen small gunboats.
And such a volley of fire could be fired every few minutes. If the battle continued, the leader of the Red Horns dared not imagine what the outcome would be.
His brain was spinning rapidly, trying to find a suitable solution, but even after thinking so hard that his brain was about to smoke, he still couldn't think of a solution.
In the face of absolute strength, intelligence and talent are not as useful as imagined, not to mention that the Red Horn Leader is not that smart either.
The entire pirate fleet was almost scattered because they had just tried to chase Matt's merchant escort fleet. The small gunboats ran the fastest, but now they also died the fastest.
Because what were coming towards them were the enemy's destroyers, a total of twenty destroyers, like an indestructible line of defense in the starry sky.
In a gunboat, the captain was roaring madly. At this time, he had taken drugs and was in a state of madness. There was no fear on his face at all.
He brandished the weapon in his hand and yelled, "Charge!"
"Charge! Let's board and seize the enemy ship!"
"This destroyer is ours!!"
The other crew members were also in a state of madness, and it was precisely because they were in such a crazy state that they had no intention of retreating when faced with such a difficult situation.
In the mind of this gunboat captain, he has already begun to imagine the scene after boarding and capturing this destroyer and returning to the pirate group.
As the captain of such a powerful destroyer, it is not impossible for me to become the leader in the future.
All the crew members were drugged and not afraid at all. They were getting closer and closer to the destroyer.
One pirate exclaimed, "It's really huge!!!"
The pirates' gunboats are only about a hundred meters long at most, while the destroyer is about eight hundred meters long. The gap between the two is really huge.
"Boys!"
"Prepare to board and fight!"
"Tear these weak bastards apart!!"
The captain, wearing worn power armor and holding a weapon, stood among the crowd, boosting morale and preparing to rush in and start killing as soon as the gunboat rammed into the enemy ship.
But ideals are full and reality is cruel.
After this lucky pirate gunboat broke through the main gun blockade, what greeted them was not the ship's armor nor a boarding battle.
It was the destroyer's secondary guns and close defense firepower. In an instant, several secondary guns opened fire.
The kinetic cannon and laser cannon directly blew up the plasma shield of the gunboat, and then tore apart the armor of the gunboat.
"boom!"
A railgun shell hit the crowd directly, and the huge kinetic energy brought out a lot of body parts and fragments.
