Chapter 73: Attack of the Angry Bees
Adam set another jump point a few seconds after The Excalibur appeared in this current spot.
The moment that the Excalibur appeared it started firing its massive laser cannons at almost point blank range.
Adam chose this spot because of the two heavy battleship class warships that are sitting too closely to each other.
It has enough space there to barely squeeze The Excalibur in the middle.
This allows him to pound the two capital ships with more than a hundred thousand Giga Watts of energy from a thousand laser cannons on each side of his ship.
In a blink of an eye, he was able to kill the two ships off while also using them as cover from the other enemy ships nearby.
It only took the Flagship a few seconds to completely destroy their massive armor's and liquefy its internal components. Metal and human flesh became a slurry molten liquid.
The other ships in Adam's battle group are practically employing the same tactics although in a much slower and a bit less more destructive approach.
They have to make do with just damaging their targets shield or armor a bit before blinking to another location. They just let another ship blink near that same spot a few minutes later and blasting the same spot again. It usually takes two to three ships to attack the same spot before they can destroy a five hundred meter long enemy ship.
.............
Their plan seems to be working so far.
Adam's battle groups which consist of half of all their total capital ships are flashing in and out of existence inside the enemy formation.
They are taking advantage of their ship's capability to relocate anywhere within their visual range using the Translocator micro jump capabilities.
This strategy is designed to slow and pin the enemy fleet's movement and allow their sniper groups to destroy or disable as much of the enemy's big ships as they can.
...........
"Admiral! We detected another anomaly, there seems to be small groups of their ships spread out around our fleet at a hundred thousand mile distance. Aside from the tiny group that was left to defend Earth we also detected small groups at the galactic north, south, east and west of our position."
Theodore is not happy with the way this pesky insects are waging this war.
Their ships seem to have mastered the technology to perform precise micro jumps, and his ships are having great difficulty in reacting to them.
Their number is so inconsequential to be considered as a threat compared to the number of ships in his entire fleet but from the reports that he's getting, it seems like they have already lost more than 30% of his force and they've only been able to destroy a handful of Adam's ship in return.
The Admiral made his decision to take this new enemy a bit more seriously.
He stood up and barked a few commands to his XO.
...........
Unbeknown to Admiral Theodore, Adam has already gained the technical specs of all the ships in his Armada.
This gave Adam all the information that he needs to predict and properly time his responses.
With the help from Alice and the ships on-board AIs, Adam's fleet can easily avoid the Empire's weapon locks, by making sure that they are already gone from the spot before they can be targeted.
Adam's ships are also small enough and agile enough to get out of the enemy ships firing solutions to keep themselves safe.
...........
Adam realized that he needed to start the next phase of their plan when he saw the tiny attack planes flying out from thousands of the enemy's carrier ships.
This attack planes added to the ones that were already launched before.
Their total amount now is so staggering that a fleet of these attack planes coming from just one carrier ship is enough to form a blanket and hide a big ship behind them.
This also limits their visual range and their capability to see where to jump next.
.............
The moment he realized the significance of these new enemy threat, Adam immediately ordered all ships to retreat and regroup behind a pre-set spot behind the moon.
In mere seconds of this command going out, every ship in Adam's battle group blinked out and reappeared hidden behind the moon.
Since the moon is conveniently located on the other side of Earth from their battlefield, it was able to hide his fleet, albeit temporarily.
..............
" Admiral! You're a genius. That move worked perfectly sir. It seems like the pesky mosquitos realized the futility of their attacks and retreated. They even left their sniper teams behind. There seems to be only around three hundred ships left that stayed in Earth's orbit, the rest are scattered around our fleet still conducting their sniping strategy."
The smirk is back in Theodore's lips rose a tad higher, he can already hear the victory bells ringing.
What do these kids know about warfare, he's been fighting other humans from hundreds of other dimensions and he knows a lot about killing other people. No matter how much resistance they offer, there is no way of stopping a force such as the Empires Fleet.
Not wanting to waste the sortie of his attack planes, he ordered them to divide into five groups and assigned one attack group to each of the five small groups of remaining enemy fleet and destroys them.
Each attack group has more than a million attack planes, they should be more than enough to overwhelm and take out a few hundred capital ships in each of those sniper locations.
..............
The other half of Adam's force that's being commanded by the girls is still in their position.
Their orders are to keep firing and start marking and targeting the carrier ships this time.
