Chapter 144 The First Interstellar War
This sneak attack was planned by Link and Natasha. Link had asked the Collector for information on the enemy's warship beforehand. This warship was somewhat peculiar, with its core area located in the middle.
The ship's hulls on both sides can rotate, and it houses a large number of Necromancers. This is a mothership, carrying a vast number of aircraft, so Link instructed Natasha to use the main guns to attack one side directly.
After creating the breach, the secondary guns fired rapidly, shooting off one of the enemy's wings and eliminating the Necromancers on one side.
The sudden attack and the loss of command left the warship in a state of panic. Its left flank was shattered by intense fire, and the Kree and Necromancers inside were basically wiped out.
Natasha breathed a sigh of relief, but what happened next made her heart jump again. A large number of undead fighters began to descend from the enemy's right flank, a number that was enough to make anyone's scalp tingle.
"Lin, the enemy still has a considerable number of aircraft!" Natasha called out to Link and immediately gave the order again, "Secondary guns, begin attacking the enemy aircraft. All missiles, prepare to fire."
"Lux, secondary cannons, fire at full power! Energy shield, prepare to activate, await my command."
"Yes, Captain!" Lux is an artificial intelligence system, an auxiliary system, but when it comes to locking onto targets, she is more convenient and faster than humans.
The secondary guns adjusted their firepower, and the missiles were ready. These were space missiles developed by Link, which would travel faster in space due to the lack of resistance.
However, it is relatively large in size, but its range is not very far, and it needs to be fired after the target gets close.
Link was currently dealing with the necromancers that had entered the Void. These necromancers couldn't match his agility, so they were completely helpless against Link's energy gun.
However, they desperately wanted to rescue their commander, but unfortunately, they didn't know that Ronan was already dead.
"They're coming right away." Link dealt with dozens of necromancer fighters, then opened a spatial portal and appeared on the bridge of the warship. "Bridge, enter concealment mode."
"Yes, sir." The bridge began to descend, completely sealing itself off, and the monitors displayed external images.
The Necromancers charged forward relentlessly, braving the intense fire from their secondary cannons, but they suffered heavy losses. Link, however, saw that the situation was not too dire.
After approaching within 100 kilometers, Natasha ordered the launch of missiles. Hundreds of missiles were launched in succession, heading towards the enemy's aircraft formation.
Link didn't move out immediately, but waited, knowing that not many of the enemy's forces could get through.
The missiles locked onto their targets, and the Necromancers immediately scattered. They continued their charge toward the Avenger. The Necromancers were not very agile, but they were fast, though the missiles were even faster.
Some Necromancers were hit, while the rest took evasive action, but still headed for the Avenger.
Their idea of using the Avengers to get rid of the missiles, or even using the missiles to attack the Avengers, is correct.
Natasha observed the situation, looking at the information images on the large screen, and said, "Activate the energy shield."
"..." A transparent energy shield appeared around the warship. The Necromancer at the front crashed into it, and the missiles behind it also crashed into it before they could adjust. Then came a series of impacts.
"Energy reduced by thirty percent..." Lux reported the situation. This was the first wave, which had charged in headfirst when the enemy was completely unprepared.
Then the Necromancer began to turn!
"Send out the Swallow-type fighters and let everyone practice!" Link opened a spatial portal directly. His destination was the enemy's mothership, and the portal appeared on the enemy's left flank.
He stepped into the closed passage and flew towards the left wing, which had been opened and was now a scene of utter devastation. No one stopped him, so he charged straight in and charged towards the core area.
The Swallow fighters took off and circled the Avenger. Natasha opened a window for them, and then the fighters flew out one after another.
It must be said that Wakanda's energy shield technology is quite good and very suitable for the Avengers.
The Swallow-type fighters swarmed out and then dispersed to conduct their first space operation. The Swallow-type fighters were extremely agile to operate. Although similar to the Marauder fighters, they were much smaller and had no living quarters. They were developed entirely for combat.
Its flexibility surpasses that of the Marauder fighter, while the Necromancer fighter is too rigid, relying primarily on numbers in combat.
Although it was their first combat mission, the pilots had undergone rigorous training and participated in numerous simulated combat operations, demonstrating exceptional agility. This was their opportunity.
The two sides engaged in a life-or-death struggle, and some Swallow fighters were shot down. However, each pilot possessed a space-age version of the Iron Man suit, which used nanotechnology. After being hit, they immediately disengaged from their aircraft.
Even if they were hit by the explosion, they could survive, activate their own power, and return to the Avenger.
Few were hit, which frustrated the drivers, who felt their skills were inadequate. Although the enemy outnumbered them, they posed little threat.
After the battle ended, the Avenger led the remaining Swallow fighters toward the enemy mothership. Inside the mothership, Link had already reached the control room and killed the personnel in charge.
The mothership was no longer able to move. Link had no interest in it; its technology was different from Earth's, and it was severely damaged.
The collector probably wouldn't want it either, because he wouldn't dare. It's a Kree item, and who knows what might happen to it later.
Link downloaded the data and returned to the Avenger. "Fire! Attack its core! Destroy it!"
Without asking for a reason, Natasha gave the order, and the Avengers launched an attack that destroyed the mothership in space.
……
Star-Lord asked, "Aren't we going to make a move?"
"What's the point of intervening?" Yondu glared at him. "Ronan failed, what can we do if we go up there?"
"However, their fighter jets are very similar to ours, only much smaller, but much more agile. They have a medium-sized battle carrier, and their configuration is quite similar to ours. Now, I'm giving you a mission."
Star-Lord was taken aback and asked, "What mission?"
"Follow them, investigate their situation, understand?" Yondu should be punishing Star-Lord at this moment, but in his heart he regards him as his own son. How could he kill Star-Lord?
So he made up an excuse!
