The military commander has completely set his sights on Chen Ming.

The battle line that had just been relaxed because he was distracted by looking at the intelligence was instantly tightened a lot.

The battle line suddenly advanced a lot towards the company's side.

The shields of four spaceships that did not have time to retreat were directly broken.

Only one destroyer, under Chen Ming's protection, relied on the panel repair to forcibly expel the almost overflowing radiation energy.

The other three frigates that lost their shield protection were immediately overwhelmed by the subsequent attacks, and there was no possibility of rescue.

Two of them were destroyed instantly, and only one was lucky enough to be paralyzed and lost its combat capability, and was pushed out of the battlefield by the impact of the weapons.

And this is just the beginning.

In a normal battle, the fighter planes maintaining a front line are relatively evenly distributed.

Normally, there will not be a situation where one side is full of escorts and the other side is full of destroyers.

But this means that the cattle herders in the center of the battle line are a certain distance away from both ends of the battle line.

Therefore, letting the destroyers at both ends of the battle line return to the herders and letting Chen Ming take control would result in a small window period in front of the battle line.

Even if the ships rotate one by one at a very low efficiency, there will easily be a brief period of weakening of combat effectiveness on the front of the battlefield.

The military commander's extremely keen sense of the battlefield allowed him to immediately seize this opportunity.

While Chen Ming was controlling the destroyer, he made a very radical deployment on the front line.

This put a lot of pressure on the ships on the front line.

Even if it fails to break through the battle line and achieve victory, it will make other warships on the battle line difficult to resist.

The commander also specifically noted down which spaceships had approached the shuttle where Chen Ming was, and deliberately ordered the military ships to avoid the locations of these spaceships during the attack.

During normal combat, he would take the initiative to command more spacecraft to attack the spacecraft that had not been rotated back to be controlled by Chen Ming.

Since the battle line has always needed destroyers as the backbone to maintain it, Chen Ming's progress in controlling the destroyers has not yet been completely completed.

Therefore, under the commander's targeted attack, problems arose everywhere on the battle line.

Chen Ming could only use the panel's capabilities to maintain the critical position of the battle line as described by the captain, so that the spacecraft would not be destroyed and the battle line would not be completely defeated.

This has resulted in Chen Ming not only suffering from a loss of mental strength, but also a lack of physical strength.

It is very normal to feel distracted and exhausted after doing a task with high concentration.

But it was still difficult for Chen Ming to accept that he had such a feeling in just a few minutes.

He couldn't help but rub his temples to soothe his brain and continue to hold on.

This is the first time that Chen Ming has felt such tremendous pressure on his head since he left the space station until today.

And this is the real strength of an army in combat, which is difficult to make up for even with the existence of psychic powers.

Chen Ming took a few deep breaths and adjusted his mentality which had been somewhat affected by the battle situation.

Anyway, the military’s purpose is now very clear, which is to kill him.

Everyone is going to die, if you don’t try your best, are you just waiting for the next life?

Chen Ming turned his gaze towards the special orange-red painted law enforcer on the sensor screen.

The military command is definitely on that ship.

If there was a chance, he would destroy the ship as soon as possible.

Only then will he have the confidence and opportunity to win this battle.

Although Chen Ming has no way to deal with the military's command

However, Chen Ming thought of a solution to the problem and told the captain.

Let the spaceships on the front line staggered and then rotate.

At the same time, he changed the positions of the ships, trying to ensure that there were spaceships under his control along the entire battle line.

As long as they can hold on until the spaceship controlled by Chen Ming returns, the combat effectiveness of the spaceship, with the support of the panel maintenance capability, the battle line can be refilled with the section that has just been repelled.

When all the destroyers are under his control, the problem of uneven distribution of combat power on the front line and relatively weak combat capabilities in some places will no longer exist.

The captain was very happy to accept Chen Ming's first proposal, but he completely rejected the subsequent suggestion to change the positions of the ships.

The reason is quite simple.

At present, the command system of the Sinda Company fleet is hastily put together and is very fragile.

It is impossible for the captain to let the rescue ship sent by Sinda Corporation lead the support ship at the space station, and vice versa.

They can only command separately, otherwise once there is any mistake or omission in his command, this fragile command system will lead to confusion of command and some uncontrollable problems.

And a while after Chen Ming made his suggestion, the captain told Chen Ming some bad news.

"Mr. Chen, we are running out of manpower here."

"What kind of manpower?"

"Manpower for the fighter planes."

Chen Ming reacted immediately after hearing it.

The fighter jet itself needs to be controlled by the pilot, and the pilot also needs to judge the damage of the fighter jet and the timing of returning.

Although Chen Ming can repair the fighter jets directly, he can even replenish the damaged fighter jets.

But the loss of personnel cannot be made up.

Less maintenance time means less time for drivers to rest and work shifts.

Keep rushing towards the battlefield without stopping for a moment.

The captain was able to tell Chen Ming about this matter, probably because the pilots on the Cattle Drover had been depleted to the point where they could no longer support the departure of a full-strength fighter squadron.

The remaining pilots on the ship must have flown fighter planes several times and were even more tired than him who was staying in the relatively safe rear.

If this continues, the military will fail to defeat the fleet, and the fleet itself will run into problems due to excessive internal losses.

Although all fighter jets are equipped with emergency escape capsules, the actual losses should not be so great.

But it is hard to say how many drivers can actually come back.

Chen Ming really didn't want to hear what the captain said, but this was an inevitable defect of aircraft carriers and fighter jets under normal circumstances.

Unless it is like the Storm class of Tachyon Technology, which is equipped with a squadron of Terminator fighters controlled by AI.

Tachyon Technology seems to have initially completed the technology of remotely controlling spacecraft so that they are not affected by the complex battlefield environment. If Chen Ming could get the Rainstorm level, the current situation would not have occurred.

But Sinda Corporation is different from Tachyon Technology, which is openly researching AI-driven spaceship technology and walking on the edge of the law.

Xinda Company can only rely on humans to fly fighter jets, so personnel casualties are inevitable.

It's a pity for Chen Ming now.

If he could control the cattle herder in advance and install the Afterglow AI core on the cattle herder to make some simple modifications, he might be able to let Afterglow control these fighter planes.

Although the effect may be much worse than if someone were to drive it personally, after all, Chen Ming didn't have one, but And this is just a thought, Chen Ming now has no way to solve the problem of insufficient manpower.

So he could only respond helplessly: "I know."

At the same time, repairs on the Cowherd fighter were also stopped.

The fighter plane no longer needed to be repaired, so at least he could relax a little.

However, you can relax mentally, but you can't keep on working on the tense front.

There is still a last batch of fighter jets that can provide support, but their ability to protect friendly ships will definitely drop to a lower level afterwards.

Fortunately, there was no problem with the cowherd's missile, so it should be able to hold out for a while.

But a lot of missile materials have been consumed so far.

The materials prepared on the other destroyers controlled by Chen Ming for repairing spacecraft after the battle were almost used up, just like the missile materials.

Moreover, the weapons and ammunition on these spacecraft are running out of supplies.

If they continued, they would have to rely on the materials stored in the herder’s warehouse.

When these reserve materials are exhausted, the combat effectiveness of the entire fleet will decline significantly.

The military is in the same situation, and their war preparedness materials cannot be instantly converted into combat and endurance capabilities like Chen Ming's.

But their own combat capabilities are stronger than those of the space station and the company's fleet.

Able to achieve greater results with less losses.

In addition, the military had many more ships than the company from the beginning.

After putting so much pressure on the company's fleet through sophisticated command techniques, forcing the fleet to consume supplies in large quantities.

Chen Ming didn't think the military would be able to survive the Sinda fleet that was constantly using reserve supplies to support the combat effectiveness of its spacecraft.

Even though Chen Ming had already asked the captain to go to the space station to request material assistance.

But it takes time to gather, load and transport the materials.

In the current battle, I'm afraid it's too late to send it over.

With the help of Chen Ming, the fleet of Xinda Company has gradually shown signs of decline.

However, the military withstood the explosion brought about by Chen Ming's abilities, and the situation they had been trying so hard to maintain once again turned in their favor.

At this time, the total number of spaceships that can still fight on the battlefield on both sides is less than 140, and a quarter of the warships have sunk in this hyperspace.

Most of the remaining warships were also damaged and could no longer withstand more severe battles.

Chen Ming now has only a little over fifty warships, while the military has more than eighty.

You must know that at the beginning, although Chen Ming had less than thirty ships supporting the Sindha Company, with the support of the space station, the total number of ships has reached nearly one hundred.

But now, the fleet has lost nearly half of its troops.

And there will be no more spacecraft that can provide support from the space station in the future.

The situation at the space station is the same as that of the cowherd's fighter plane.

There are spaceships, but no one is flying them.

In the two previous attacks by Yuhui, the company helped to reimburse the losses each time, and also sent subsequent spacecraft that could be used for combat.

But the loss of personnel cannot be replenished so quickly.

However, on the military side, there were more than a hundred militarized spacecraft, and after the battle there were still more than seventy remaining.

However, due to the gap in the fleet's organization, command and actual combat capabilities, the final casualty ratio was two to one.

This is the only good news in this situation.

The only losses suffered by the company's fleet were frigates, most of which were destroyed or paralyzed.

Thanks to Chen Ming's protection, there are now only 31 destroyers left.

It's just that the good news is overshadowed by the bad news.

Because the number of remaining destroyers in the military fleet exceeded that of the company's fleet.

It's not just because the military had more destroyers than the company at the beginning.

Another reason is that military spacecraft are equipped with professional maintenance technicians.

Most of the spaceships were not destroyed on the spot but withdrew from the battlefield because they were paralyzed.

As long as there is no critical damage, they will return to the battlefield soon.

This is also one of the reasons why the casualties on both sides of the battle were high.

In short, even if Chen Ming can improve the upper limit of the spacecraft's performance.

Through maintenance, the spacecraft can be made brand new, so that its combat effectiveness can be unleashed in a short period of time, and can even continue to unleash its combat effectiveness as long as there are sufficient supplies.

Relying on the stockpiled combat supplies, all disadvantages including the number of spacecraft, weapons and personnel can be compensated, and even some advantages can be regained.

But we can only get back a little.

The gap between the company and the military as a whole is there.

The military is not like the Sinda Company, which initially only had less than 30 reliable spacecraft available and had to rely on space stations for support.

It is also not like the fleet's command system can only be pieced together temporarily, making it difficult to carry out precise control of the battlefield situation.

Given the huge gap in many aspects, it can only be said that Chen Ming has done his best to rely on his spiritual power to get to this point.

If there are no variables after that, failure is inevitable.

at the same time.

The commander at the law enforcer level also felt that the balance of victory was completely tilting.

He had already realized that the enemy had reached his limit.

It’s not Chen Ming’s limit, but the limit of other people, other spaceships, and the fleet.

The station's patrol ships and the Sinda Company's escort ships were completely inadequate compared to the military's ships, and were completely unable to bring out the capabilities of Chen Ming that the commander had felt during the engagement.

But no matter what factors were involved, it was either that the company was not sufficiently prepared, or that the military had prepared means in advance.

Victory is victory.

"That's all, then."

The commander has found a loophole in the fleet's battle line and is ready to launch an all-out attack to destroy the company's fleet's combat capability and end the battle.

Just one final straw.

But, at this moment.

A ship that was obviously a military destroyer suddenly arrived at the edge of the battlefield from the hyperspace channel.

The overall shape like a spear head has already made its identity clear.

This is the armor-piercing level that Chen Ming has been waiting for for a long time.

When the armor-piercing class finally reached the edge of the battlefield, Chen Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The reason why armor penetration is slow is that it takes too much time on the road.

Although Chen Ming paid special attention to armor penetration, he tried to hide or pass through the galaxy directly from the outside when passing through it.

However, the Armor-Piercing class could not be completely prevented from being chased by government patrols several times when passing through some star systems, and they could only get rid of them by entering the hyperspace channel cloud to avoid the sensor's scanning.

Entering the cloud layer of the hyperspace channel cloud would inevitably be affected by the hyperspace lightning, so after arriving nearby, the Armor-Smashing Machine had to go to the Dark Cemetery first and repair itself before coming here.

The total time spent was more than twice as long as if Chen Ming had returned by himself.

But at least the armor-piercing class managed to arrive here at the last critical moment, which is the most important thing.

The commander obviously also noticed the destroyer that suddenly appeared at the edge of the battlefield. He seemed to have some impression of this ship in his mind, but he was not sure, so he did not give the order to attack.

Instead, he immediately asked his deputy: "Whose boat is that?"

The deputy immediately replied: "That is a ship of the Star Region Government, an armor-piercing class."

"The Star Region Government has previously notified the military here that they will conduct a spacecraft experiment nearby, using the afterglow as a reference object."

"But the document said that their fleet would arrive in a few days, and there is only one ship coming now. Maybe there is some special arrangement."

The commander nodded slightly, focused his attention back on commanding the fleet, and said, "That has nothing to do with us."

"Send a message to that ship and ask them to stop or just go around and go to the outpost. Don't get in the way here."

"yes."

Chen Ming, who was on the shuttle, suddenly received a message from the military from the armor-piercing class, which surprised him.

But he immediately realized that this was an opportunity, an opportunity for a surprise attack.

He immediately replied "Received" to the military fleet, and then had the armor-piercing class pretend that everything was normal and avoid the front line, keeping an ambiguous distance and circumventing the center of the battlefield.

Although this behavior was correct overall, the commander, who was keenly aware of danger at this time, still noticed the abnormality of the armor-piercing class.

"What are the government people doing? Keep sending messages to keep them away from the battlefield."

The deputy was assigned by the commander to deliver the message, but the commander was mentally prepared to deal with unexpected situations.

The moment Chen Ming received the second message from the military, he knew that time waits for no one.

Although the armor-piercing level has not reached the ideal position, it is now at a position that Chen Ming can accept.

Chen Ming controlled the Armor-Piercing-class ship and suddenly began to accelerate. At the same time, he turned the bow and aimed at the military flagship, that special Law Enforcer-class ship.

All the special equipment on the armor-piercing class were activated along with Chen Ming's control.

The antiparticle energy activation module caused a huge amount of energy fluctuations visible to the naked eye around the armor-piercing class.

The large high-energy focusing system module makes the large armor-piercing weapons covered with energy-guided streamers.

The energy stabilizer stabilizes the constantly fluctuating restraint energy bomb.

Energy balls that were condensed to the point of being almost tangible flickered inside the barrel of the automatic pulse laser cannon mounted on the armor-piercing class.

With one charge, thirty consecutive large restraining energy bombs can be unleashed, which are enough to almost engulf a spaceship like the Iron Ore.

Head straight for the military flagship.

The commander had already been prepared. The Enforcer class had already opened its shield in advance, and two other destroyers returned to the Enforcer for protection.

Shares damage with the Enforcer class.

However, the automatic pulse laser is a large weapon.

Just when the first energy bomb hit the shield of a destroyer, the relatively weak shield of the military almost instantly reached the edge of overload, and obvious ripples appeared on the entire shield.

The destroyer didn't even have time to shut down its shield before the second restraining energy bomb hit it.

The destroyer's shield exploded directly, and the entire destroyer was covered with violently flashing arcs caused by radiation overload.

Then it was completely submerged by the remaining energy bombs.

The military's traditionally powerful armor couldn't last long against the large energy weapons powered by two special devices.

As subsequent energy bombs followed up, the armor of the military destroyer was destroyed and the hull was almost instantly destroyed in hyperspace.

There is no chance of resistance.

And more than half of the remaining restraint energy bombs are still moving forward.

The second destroyer did not retreat because the spaceship in front was destroyed instantly. Instead, it continued to block the law enforcer that Chen Ming was targeting.

Everyone on this destroyer is ready to sacrifice.

Its shield also collapsed at the first touch, but unlike the previous destroyer, it caught the timing of shield shutdown.

While allowing the radiation energy system to bear maximum damage, the spacecraft was not overloaded.

The spacecraft can still turn its hull to make itself more vulnerable to attack and allow more armor to bear more damage.

Although it could not escape the fate of being destroyed, at least its sacrifice allowed that special Enforcer-class ship to take the opportunity to enter the protection circle of military ships.

The military fleet began to mobilize, temporarily slowing down the suppression of the Sindar fleet, and began to encircle the armor-piercing class, which was the most threatening of all the spaceships present.

However, Chen Ming had planned the route and had also discussed it with the captain in advance.

A sudden change of direction directly entered the company fleet just like the Enforcer class.

Under the protection of a large number of ships, the extremely sharp spear of armor-piercing can exert its strongest capabilities without any regard for its own safety.

After fifteen seconds of weapon cooldown, the automatic pulse laser began to accumulate energy again.

The leading military destroyer fired a round of large energy restraint bombs at the area with the greatest pressure on the current front line.

Just like before, the destroyer turned into dust in space without any struggle.

The military fleet's unstoppable momentum suddenly faltered.

All I can say is that Armor Breaker is worthy of its name.

Although the automatic pulse laser it is equipped with does not have the terrifying instantaneous high-energy output of the Tachyon Spear.

But its ability to burst out restraining energy bombs in a short period of time is also quite impressive.

It also has a slow-fire mode.

It does not require cooling and can continuously output large-scale restraining energy bombs at a firing rate of one shot per second.

Equipped with two special devices on the spacecraft that can be quickly cooled through Chen Ming's maintenance function.

No ship in the military could withstand the firepower of this massive weapon.

With the addition of armor-piercing, the frontal pressure of the battle line was reduced sharply.

The situation on the battlefield was reversed almost instantly.
