Chapter 568: Long-Awaited Solo Charge

"Theoretically, the best way to crack the 'jump-type proton annihilation bomb', apart from interception and interference guidance, is for the fleet to directly rush up and 'dance' with the enemy fleet."

After noticing Amber's 'kind' gaze, Cliffs immediately explained:

"So the first thing I thought of was to have the First Fleet close the distance and rush forward, so that the federal fleet would not dare to launch proton annihilation bombs. I was definitely not asking Boss to find a way to attack the enemy formation, and then rush in alone. Inside the guidance ship, try to find a way to change the orientation of the guidance beacon to the position of the Federation fleet."

Amber: "Cliffs, isn't your plan quite detailed?"

Cliffs scratched his head, avoided Amber's words and continued:

"However, I finally gave up the plan of letting the fleet go up and fight the opponent hand-to-hand. One is because of our current numerical disadvantage, and the advantage of going up to engage in close combat with the enemy fleet is not great. The other is because of the current positions of both fleets. , the distance makes it impossible for us to get closer in a short time.”

He pointed at the holographic projection platform. A dotted line with constantly changing values ​​was connected between the two warring fleets.

"Boss, you see, the Federation fleet has been conducting relative position vertical axis maneuvers since the induction. It is obvious that it wants to keep a safe distance from us and prevent us from attacking the guide ship. Therefore, the fastest speed in the fleet is currently What will shorten the distance is to eject the super-heavy HCP with ultra-high short-term thrust at the highest speed."

"Then I led the HCP team to try to break in?" Amber interjected: "Then why didn't I just destroy the guide ship? You guys still want to let me break in alone, the risk is too great."

"The risk of the HCP force trying to directly destroy this guide ship is actually quite high, Boss."

Cleeves shook his head, and then continued:

"After all, this is a heavy cruiser, and it is also under heavy protection from other surrounding warships and HCPs. Its survivability is definitely higher than we imagined. Moreover, destroying this guide ship does not mean that the crisis will be resolved. , we don’t know if there are other guide ships in the federal fleet, so it’s best to let the federation use this proton annihilation bomb and use it on themselves!”

Amber must admit that in some cases Cleves's ideas were often very bold.

Just like the current situation, which is not very good for the Atlas Group, what the fleet commander is thinking about is to use the opponent's proton annihilation bomb to inflict heavy damage on the opponent.

However, he still couldn't laugh or cry and said, "No, you do have quite a lot of confidence in me."

The 'confidence' that Amber talks about is not only present in Cliffs, but is a 'common problem' throughout the Atlas Group - especially among the group's senior management.

That is to say, he has a kind of mysterious confidence in his 'Boss'. He always feels that no matter what difficulties, which aspects or how big the difficulties are, Amber, this 'all-rounder', will always be at their wits' end. situation to turn the tide.

This kind of trend like the 'god-making movement' can indeed stabilize Amber's authority in a sense, but he actually doesn't want this trend to spread. After all, if the 'god-making movement' is finally created, If an accident occurs, the backlash will be terrifying.

Unfortunately, although Amber did not want to see this scene, such a trend did spread rapidly within the Atlas Group in a 'top-down' situation.

And the further it spreads to the lower levels, the more exaggerated its 'god-making' effect becomes. Especially after the first large-scale arrival of Atlas combat troops on Para IV, which gave rise to the so-called 'prophecy' among the local people, the Roma people, a group that already has religious beliefs and is relatively 'superstitious' , as well as those who have faith in the human community, regard Amber as a kind of "human spokesperson"

After Amber said what she just said, Cliffs' answer was just as he expected. He nodded without hesitation, and then said:

"If anyone can do such a thing, it can only be you, a psyker, Boss."

——

As the battle progressed, Atlas III Task Force suffered more and more heavy losses in this extremely cruel battle.

Their small number of HCPs were struggling to hold on under the fierce attacks of the enemy. They were like a lonely boat in the storm, and were in danger of being swallowed by the rough waves at any time.

Even a 'genius pilot' like Johnny Redding, or even an ace like Murat, must be extremely alert, otherwise he is very likely to be shot from nowhere in the next second. Directed energy breaks into cosmic dust.

But as time passed by slowly, it was clear that both the HCP and the entire fleet had reached their limit, as if they would completely collapse under the enemy's fire in the next moment.

But at this time, all the warships, HCPs, heavy armored combat boats, or damage control personnel who were clinging to the outside of the ship to conduct dangerous damage control operations, a "special frame" appeared on the HUD in front of them.

For everyone in the Atlas Group, in their understanding, if a unit marked with this special frame appears on the battlefield, it can only mean one thing.

Their boss, Amber, the supreme leader of Atlas, personally joined the battle.

Soon, all the main commanders and commanding artificial intelligence received the official order from the Dawn - Amber will lead the HCP and heavy armored combat boats of the First Fleet to launch a surprise attack on the Federation Fleet to eliminate the threat of proton annihilation bombs. All units that can still attack must provide fire cover for this assault force.

"The Boss is out. This battle is finally coming to an end!"

This is the first thought that came to almost all commanders after receiving this order.

The next moment, the darkness of the universe was instantly lit up by countless brilliant and gorgeous artillery fire, and the massive directed energy weapons on the First Fleet covered the Federation Fleet like a rain of light.

The Federation Fleet, which had just been supplemented by the Fourteenth Fleet, was really caught off guard by this sudden attack.

Stoner and others didn't know why the enemy in front of them was like crazy, risking the main gun overheating and paralysis to fire continuously, as if to drag them to death together.

But since they had decided to use proton annihilation bombs to end the battle, the five commanders, including the commander of the 14th Fleet, did not want their fleets to suffer too much loss, so they ordered the fleets to respond flexibly and not to confront these lunatics head-on.

Just after they issued similar instructions, the tactical information coordinators of each ship also reported that a strange unit was approaching rapidly from the nadir direction at an unreasonable relative speed with a large group of HCPs and heavy armored combat boats!
