Starships of All Realms Online

Chapter 75 The conglomerate's fleet arrives, fires, and annihilates them.

Inside the financial stronghold, Rockefeller, Morgan, and Citigroup, setting aside other financial groups, began discussing how to deal with the current situation.

"Locke, we can't hide any longer. Those fleets in the sky look like they have a lot of firepower. If we rely on just one warship, it will be difficult to break through."

"That's right, and most importantly, we still don't know who the enemy is."

"After the last inside contact was activated, it only transmitted one message before losing contact. It seems that the enemy this time is also very good at intelligence secrecy and cannot be dealt with so easily."

"It's no use talking about this now. Most importantly, you didn't mention that these warships suddenly appeared in the sky, which means that the other side has powerful engine technology. I think I've heard the researchers in the family mention this before."

At this moment, the head of the Citigroup frowned and began to think.

After waiting for a while, he finally remembered what it was.

"Warp drive, that's right, warp drive."

"Are you so sure?"

"Yes, warp drive technology causes this phenomenon. Look at this above. After the fleet appeared, the white mist that appeared around us was not actually gas, but distorted space. It just looks like mist from our angle."

Upon hearing his affirmative answer, the other two people present also changed their expressions.

They were well aware of the power of the warp drive, and also understood the difficulty of its development.

In fact, with the medical pods, their lifespans were greatly extended, and they naturally accumulated a lot of knowledge. There were also many members of the family who had lofty ideals, and they naturally invested a lot of money in researching warp drives.

Most importantly, the solar system is about 2 light-years in diameter. With such a vast distance, current technology makes it difficult to even develop Mars, so we can only wander around the Earth-Moon system.

Once we master warp drive technology, at the very least, we can rapidly develop resources within the solar system.

If this technology were to appear on our side, it would be a tremendous boon.

But now the enemy has mastered this technology, which is making things very difficult for them.

"I have two more frigates here. Their firepower isn't very strong, but their armor is very thick. They should be able to act as the vanguard and break through the enemy's encirclement."

"That's good. Also, I suggest using those guys as bait to create conditions for our escape."

"agree."

I agree.

The three quickly reached a consensus: for their own benefit, these conglomerates could be abandoned.

Moreover, once they escape, the conglomerates used as bait will be left behind, without their leaders. The internal struggles within these conglomerates could allow them to secretly gain some benefits.

After making a plan, the three of them quickly stepped forward and began organizing people to board the ship in preparation for departure.

"Gentlemen, we must leave quickly. These warships have just arrived here, and the encirclement has not yet been formed. We still have a chance to escape. We must be fast. Use those private ships as bait to buy us time."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

At this moment, although these conglomerates sensed something was wrong, they had no choice but to heed the advice of the three major conglomerates in order to save their own lives.

After everyone quickly boarded the ship, the hatch at the rear of the fortress opened, revealing the outer space.

"Engine started, mounting bracket detached, ready for takeoff."

"Bridge received. Engines at full power. Proceed!"

With the propellers at the stern of the warship operating at full power, the entire warship quickly surged forward.

Not long after the warships rushed out, they were immediately locked onto by Fang Heng's fleet.

"A large warship has been detected. It has no identification device. Scanning has been completed and analysis is underway."

"Analysis complete. Confirmed to be a Rockefeller family warship. First squadron has been dispatched to intercept."

Of the 40 warships, three escort ships immediately left the fleet, using a warp to block the newly emerged warships.

"Warships ahead, halt immediately. Elysium is currently under martial law; no one is permitted to enter or leave."

"Warning: Stop immediately and shut down the engine, or you will be destroyed."

Seeing the warships still charging forward recklessly, the first squad decided not to give in.

"Weapons charging, anti-ship missiles launched, let's teach these guys a lesson."

"Yes, Captain."

"Target calibration complete, launch!"

With a burst of fire, four anti-ship missiles were launched from one of the frigates and flew rapidly toward the conglomerate's warships.

"Activate the missile defense system and shoot down these missiles."

"Captain, no, these missiles are too fast, our missiles can't catch up."

"Then calculate the trajectory and shoot it down in advance."

"Captain, the trajectories of these missiles are extremely chaotic, and we cannot predict them."

"Damn it, activate the shield! We can't let these conglomerates get hurt."

"Yes, the shield is at its maximum."

"Engine overload, we'll rush over quickly and ram it directly. We have shields, don't be afraid."

"Yes, Captain."

At this moment, the captain was unaware that his master was not on board the warship. Therefore, for the sake of his family, he dared not let the warship withstand the enemy's attack head-on. In addition to activating the shields to the maximum, he also instructed the operator to constantly adjust the engine power to evade the attack.

Unfortunately, the anti-ship missiles launched by the Comet-class corvettes had already locked onto the warship, and no matter how it tried to dodge, it ultimately had to endure the bombardment of four anti-ship missiles.

"boom!"

As the entire ship swayed, many wealthy women inside the warship screamed in terror.

It wasn't until news came from the bridge that the warship was undamaged that these people calmed down.

However, while the existing shields can withstand anti-ship missiles, they do not have a good defense against energy weapons.

As the comet-class frigate's ion cannons were fully charged, a powerful stream of particles was launched, striking the approaching conglomerate warship.

"boom!"

With a burst of fire, a large hole was blasted open on one side of the warship, and molten iron was all around the hole.

The attack caught these people off guard, and many members of the conglomerate who were near the location were sucked into space and their bodies were instantly frozen.

It's just that the isolation door closed in time; otherwise, that one move could have killed all the members of the conglomerate.

Such a powerful attack terrified the surviving conglomerate, which immediately ordered the warships to halt and comply with the enemy's demands.

After all, being captured by the enemy doesn't necessarily mean death, but if they continue forward, their warship will definitely be destroyed, and then they will surely die.

Seeing this situation, the three major conglomerates inside the fortress immediately issued orders for the bridge to continue the breakout. Their family warships were already on their way to provide support, and they also ordered the captains to shut down the warships' communications to cut off these people's contact with their families.

The captain, upon receiving the order, quickly realized that he had been used as bait. Thinking of his family, he had no choice but to obey.

"Everyone, full power, engines overload, keep charging!"

"Yes, Captain."

At this moment, the first squad, seeing that the warship was still not slowing down, immediately reported to Wang Yunfeng.

Upon receiving the message, Wang Yunfeng did not hesitate and immediately ordered it to be destroyed.

Originally, we were prepared to spare the lives of these conglomerates so that we could smoothly take over their businesses. But since they're in such a hurry to die, there's no need to hold back.

Soon, as the ion cannons of the other two escort ships opened fire, the conglomerate's warship was instantly pierced through, and the entire warship broke into two pieces and was destroyed on the spot.

"Damn it, these warships have such powerful firepower."

Seeing the firepower of the comet-class corvette, the three men's expressions turned grim; they knew they were in deep trouble.

Just then, the conglomerate's fleet arrived nearby and immediately contacted the three.

"You've arrived just in time. I order you to immediately attack these unfamiliar fleets and cover our evacuation."

"Yes, sir."

The large fleet approached and was immediately spotted by Fang Heng's fleet.

At this moment, Wang Yunfeng had already arrived on the flagship. Looking at the conglomerate's fleet in outer space not far away, he sneered.

"As expected, these conglomerates are still not giving up. In that case, let this place be their burial ground. Order the First Fleet to return to its position immediately. Once back in position, initiate fleet warp and move behind them."

"Yes, sir."

Soon, with the return of the first squadron, the entire fleet regrouped and activated the warp drive.

In an instant, the fleet disappeared and reappeared behind the conglomerate's fleet.

The conglomerate's fleet was still moving at full speed when it looked up and found that the enemy had disappeared. The next moment, the radar alarm sounded loudly, indicating that the enemy was behind its own fleet.

At that moment, everyone was terrified.

At present, the area behind the engine of a warship is the weakest point in its defense. Once the enemy bypasses it, the danger level of the warship will increase sharply.

Furthermore, many shipborne weapons are unable to attack the rear of the warship, thus reducing their firepower by a significant level.

Before these conglomerate fleets could react, Wang Yunfeng issued orders directly from the fleet that had already completed the jump.

"Report, target locked."

"Open fire! Wipe them out!"

"Fire! Fire!"

At that moment, all 40 warships opened fire, and instantly this space was filled with various ion slurries, laser beams, and anti-ship missiles.

"Oh, sir, a high-energy strike is on its way, fuck."

"boom!"

He only had time to utter a curse before the large warships in the conglomerate's fleet were instantly targeted by energy weapons and destroyed on the spot.
