Chapter 931, Ominous Ark
When the Disaster Fleet was completely surrounded, their fate was already sealed.
To be honest, the Disaster Fleet was still very powerful. Their overall number was not much less than that of the Alliance warships. The more than 800 Chaos warships were not just for show. There were many battleships, aircraft carriers, heavy cruisers, and other large ships, and the number and combat power of the accompanying frigates and cruisers were also sufficient.
Not to mention, there is also an existence called the Ominous Ark among them.
This thing is even bigger than the Queen of Glory-class battleship!
Its shape was also very strange and twisted, and it looked like a bunch of giant ships roughly spliced together. A bunch of steel creations, blended together, actually had a twisted feeling of flesh and blood.
In fact, that’s exactly how it was made.
Under the power of Bassol, some junked ships that had been lost in the warp for who knows how many thousands of years were dragged out, combined together with twisted technology, and driven by demon engines to form the current Omen Ark.
Because of this, each Ominous Ark is very unique and different.
But they are all very powerful.
However, in this universe, a bigger battleship is not necessarily better.
The Omen Ark is very large and not slow, but its flexibility is a bit poor, which is inevitable, but also completely acceptable. Sacrificing this little flexibility in exchange for a huge size, solid protection, powerful firepower, and the strategic role of a super mothership is completely worth it.
Generally speaking, in addition to being the command flagship of the entire Disaster Fleet, the Omen Ark mainly plays the role of a core fortress and hub in specific battles. Its huge size means that it can serve as a huge space carrier. Countless flying vehicles, various ships, and demon engines can swarm out of the Omen Ark and be sent to the enemy's face to launch a direct assault.
It can also transport a huge Chaos Army, with so much manpower that it's as if there is an entire Chaos world in its belly.
If the enemy wanted to attack such an Omen Ark, it would be very difficult. Apart from the fleet guarding it, the Omen Ark itself had a very strong structure. Blast a few parts and a few wrecks that made it up would not be enough to destroy it. The powerful void shield it carried was an insurmountable barrier to the enemy.
Not only is the defense strong, but the firepower it possesses is also very powerful. Even if we abandon other weapons and use three or five battleships and only use naval guns to bombard it, it is still no match for it.
And wanting to join the battle by boarding a ship is even more unrealistic.
The Omen Ark is made up of many junked space ships. Its internal structure is very complicated. Even the owner of the Ark, the Chaos Navy, may not understand the structure clearly. If they don't walk in places they are familiar with, they will get lost, let alone the attackers.
From the perspective of combat power alone, it is at the same level as the Queen of Glory-class battleship, but it excels in different areas. The Queen of Glory is strong in flexibility and firepower, but its protection and hull strength are a bit worse.
In terms of offensive means, the two are very different. After all, the core combat means of the Omen Ark is still to serve as a space carrier, which is to send aircraft and warships out to fight. Although its own combat capability is not bad, it is mainly based on self-defense, and pure offensive means are insufficient.
And the Queen of Glory is a pure sharp sword!
Of course, if the difference is just this, then we can only say that the two have different ways of fighting, and it is difficult to say who has the advantage and who has the disadvantage.
Overall, when comparing the entire Disaster Fleet with the main fleet of the Southern Front, from quantity to fleet quality to flagship combat power, they are almost the same.
If a fight really breaks out, it will be like a space war, with both sides having to fight a huge and earth-shattering battle to decide the winner. Moreover, even if one side wins, it will probably be a tragic victory.
But what is the reality?
The two sides in the fight were almost one-sided!
The human fleet has an absolute advantage!
In the current battle situation, the biggest gap between the two sides lies in command, tactics and strategy.
The leader of the Disaster Fleet was captured; many of the other people who could take charge were on the surface. In order to prevent rebellion, Zakaria did not allow anyone who could replace him to stay on the flagship when he left. This certainly prevented the rebellion, but it also made the command of the entire fleet completely incapable when he was captured and the leader could not return.
The entire Disaster Fleet was not functioning smoothly, with each ship almost fighting on its own and the coordination between them was extremely chaotic.
In terms of the overall situation, it is also very unfavorable for them.
Although the number of human ships attacking from both sides of the orbit of the planet Papalil was small, only about two or three hundred, the Queen of Glory-class battleships, as the sharpest sword, still brought them tremendous pressure. Even if they wanted to open up space and maneuver, they could not escape because of the more than seven hundred human warships attacking from behind.
The Disaster Fleet was completely at a disadvantage and suffered heavy losses at the very beginning of the battle.
Their morale was low and it was difficult for them to escape, so some ships even made their own decisions and tried to break out.
When faced with such a situation, the human fleet will often choose to let some ships go.
Those frigates of low value can be let go, especially those whose departure will cause greater damage to the already tattered formation of the Disaster Fleet, so they will be eager for you to leave as soon as possible.
But if some high-value ships want to escape, there is no way.
They are often allowed to leave the array by human ships first, and then when they are left alone, they are quickly surrounded and annihilated.
Even if the large number of disaster fleets that had been reduced realized later that they would be doomed if they continued like this, and tried hard to put aside their internal differences and urgently elect a person to take charge, it was already too late.
Their numbers and quality had been reduced to a very poor level, and even a desperate resistance would not be able to reverse the situation.
The final charge was carried out by the main force led by the Queen of Glory. They forcefully rammed their gun barrels into the face of the Omen Ark, which already lacked the protection of other ships, and destroyed it.
After the Omen Ark was destroyed, the massive naval battle over Papalil ultimately ended with the victory of mankind.
