Chapter 468: Xiami is too insidious
Although a heavy artillery shell missed its target, it still made the orc leader Saruru feel a huge danger.
But it didn't hit after all. He only felt the power of this shot through observation. Maybe this is not the case?
Moreover, after the greenskin fleet launched the charge, the human fleet did the same. The distance between the two sides was shortened to a very dangerous distance in a very short time.
At this distance, the accuracy and power of the heavy artillery of both sides have reached the point where they can destroy each other.
The arrow that has shot cannot be retrieved.
If we wanted to turn around and run away at this time, it would be like letting the enemy fight for a few more rounds in vain. Even if some ships could escape in the end, the losses would be huge. Not to mention the annihilation of the entire army, at least half or even more than half would be lost.
And it's a wasted loss.
Then we can only keep charging.
Saroo was expecting, but he was wrong.
However, this expectation was soon dashed.
Because the next shot clearly hit a ship in the orc fleet.
That ship was at the level of a human frigate, with good energy shields and armor. Even if it encountered an L-spec artillery attack from a human cruiser, it could withstand several hits.
However, they were directly annihilated by this artillery fire.
Both the shield and the ship were completely destroyed.
The judgment that Saroo made based on the missed shot he saw earlier was absolutely correct.
So, what to do?
Saroo had no choice.
No matter how thrilling he felt, no matter how low the chances of winning seemed, he had no choice but to lead his troops.
"Charge! Charge! All ships, be ready to board us! Once we are within range, jump over, use our machetes, axes, and guns, get on board and beat up those shrimps!"
With no other options, this was the only possible way Saru could think of to win.
The ships of both sides began to exchange fierce fire.
The total number of warships participating in the battle reached nearly 500. Such a large number of warships fought a desperate battle outside the orbit of Temir 5.
The ones who are at an absolute disadvantage are, without a doubt, the green-skinned orcs.
Their ships exploded one after another under the bombardment of an unknown giant cannon among humans.
Even the greenskin flagship where Saru was located was hit by a heavy artillery - it was a kinetic energy shell that flew at sub-light speed and hit it hard.
This was a large ship equivalent to a human cruiser, unlike a small ship like a frigate, which would be shattered by a single shot. However, this shot still overloaded the energy shield of his large ship, and if it was hit by another shot later, it would definitely explode.
In fact, there was no need for that heavy artillery to fire. Even ordinary artillery could pose a fatal threat to his flagship after the energy shield was overloaded.
At this time, Saru finally saw clearly what the most fatal thing was:
It was a very large and powerful warship.
It looked similar in size to what Xiami called a "giant belly" transport ship, but a closer look revealed that the two were completely different. This warship was not bloated at all, but rather powerful and slender, and even the ram on top was quite in line with the orcs' aesthetics.
It's even bigger than Chief Titus's flagship! And only slightly smaller than the Battle Moon!
But how did it come about?
The Orc fleet is also active in the Temir galaxy. Although the principle is different, the Orcs also have a role similar to stargazers, and can monitor the status information of almost the entire galaxy.
It is impossible not to notice such a large and powerful warship.
Saroo suddenly remembered something.
Not long ago, the human fleet had an operation, and several large-scale ships entered the Temir galaxy. The main fleet of mankind escorted the fleet closely from the jump point all the way to the orbit of Temir 5.
This was actually a very common situation in the past two years. The orcs all knew the name of that large-scale ship - the Big Belly. It was a large, but slow, and completely incapable ship. They had also taken down one during a previous raid, causing the shrimps to suffer very heavy losses. Later, the shrimps learned to be smart, and they would gather several ships each time and then send the main fleet to escort them all the way.
Saru thought it was the same situation that time, but it seems not. Among those huge targets, there was a battleship hidden.
Unless you observe closely, relying solely on the tribal shaman, all you can see are several large ships of the same size, firmly protected in the middle.
Sure enough, shrimp are very insidious.
However, he still has a final resort -
Boarding!
And now the situation has become that if you don't jump now, you will have no chance.
The energy shield of his flagship had been broken, and he could even see that many small cruisers were pointing their guns at him.
If you don't jump, you will be buried with the ship.
He picked up the communicator and shouted to all the green ships: "Boarding! Target, that's the biggest ship! I will lead the charge! You all follow me!"
"waaagh!"
Dropping the communicator, he quickly boarded the 'boarding torpedo' with his personal guards.
The boarding torpedo of the greenskins is different from that of humans. It does not look like a ship at all, but more like a huge, hollowed-out stone or hill. Inside, there are some shocking greenskin technologies. It is placed on the launcher, and the greenskin boys are stuffed into it one by one. When it is full, this "big stone" will be thrown to the target by the launch system.
Of course, this is the treatment of ordinary green-skinned boys. As the leader of the orcs, Saru can still have a spaceship as his boarding vehicle.
In general, the success rate of such boarding is surprisingly high. Those solid rock structures are thick enough that they are not easily blown up. Although the greenskin technology inside looks simple, it can magically help this big rock to turn accurately, and when it lands, it forms a buffer through structural cracks to protect the greenskin boy inside from being directly crushed to death.
However, the risk of boarding a ship today is still too great.
The main reason was that the distance between the two ships was too far, which meant that the boarding torpedoes and spacecraft had to fly over a long distance without any protection and endure a lot of firepower.
However, Saroo still did not regret his decision.
Because, just as he stepped onto the boarding spacecraft and a large number of boarding torpedoes were launched from his flagship, he saw that his flagship was bombarded by multiple huge cannons, including light spears, macro cannons and missiles, and exploded into space junk in mid-air.
If he hadn't left, he would have died on the ship.
As for now, although it is still very dangerous, at least I can gamble my life.
His scarlet eyes no longer looked back, but stared fixedly at the scene in front of him.
All he could see now was the giant blue and white human ship.
He turned a blind eye to the destruction of one boarding torpedo after another that was originally launched with him.
All he was focused on was the giant human ship, which was getting closer and closer in front of him.
God bless you! He survived a long flight, and he also decelerated to pass through the void shield of the giant ship and crashed into the ship.
He actually managed to board the ship successfully!
After the hatch opened, he couldn't wait to rush out, yelling "waagh".
But what greeted him was a bomb, which silenced his roar.
Looking up, he saw dozens of canned shrimps wearing red armor standing in front of him.
Each of these canned shrimps is as tall as an orc boss, completely different from ordinary ones.
