Chapter 292 Battle Situation (4000 chapters, please subscribe)

"Maintain the coordination mode, all warships attack freely, and pay attention to the formation must not be dispersed!" Tony reminded again emphatically.

He could clearly see the change in style of the cannon fodder fleet.

But the current situation has not exceeded expectations, and it is not enough to make him nervous!

Not only Tony, the fleet commander, but also the captains of the warships were not at all nervous.

Because from the very beginning, everyone was fully prepared and knew that melee was inevitable.

"Thanos' fleet has an absolute numerical advantage... It is difficult for guerrilla tactics to stop their attack."

When discussing tactics, Tony analyzed it like this,

"In order to ensure the safety of the earth, we must keep the enemy out of the earth, at all costs!"

"So, close combat is absolutely inevitable!"

"Good idea, I agree with your conclusion!" Ian replied to Tony at that time,
"Try it if you have an idea, and I will let the Nova Fleet cooperate with you!"

Finding that the opposite cannon fodder fleet suddenly returned to their best style, Tony immediately issued an order:
"Remove the joint shield and activate the individual energy shield! Be careful to avoid enemy attacks!"

Upon hearing the order, the captains immediately made adjustments.

At the moment when the battleship's energy shield was formed.

"Clear the field!" With the order of the superstar.

In the middle of the cannon fodder fleet, a large number of energy shock waves erupted at the same time.

The impact of these energy waves is weak, but the coverage is wide.

Perhaps because the proficiency was high enough, this burst was not like the previous salvo, not only was there no trace of confusion, but it was completely synchronized.

The synchronously erupting shock waves superimpose instantly, forming a more powerful and chaotic shock wave.

The Nova Fleet, which was close at hand, was unavoidable and was directly swept by the shock wave.

The joint field of the fleet collapsed in an instant, but the individual energy shields of each battleship were completely fine.

If the fleet's defense plan hadn't been adjusted in advance, the Nova Fleet would definitely lose its defense at this moment!

Everyone has been mentally prepared for this, and the collapse of the joint field has not affected the tactical arrangements of the Nova Fleet in the slightest.

The warships still launched a counterattack calmly.

"Sure enough, it's still the same routine!" Tony finally showed a smile on his face.

First use the big move to clear the field, and turn the entire fleet of the enemy and us into individual warships.

Narrow the gap between the two sides in fleet reorganization.

Then using cannon fodder tactics, a large number of warships swarmed up, using their own numerical advantages to drown their opponents.

This is the most common tactic used by these cannon fodder fleets under Thanos.

It seems a very simple tactic, but it helped this group of cannon fodder defeat countless seemingly powerful opponents.

It is precisely because it is extremely simple that this tactic is very effective!

Facts have proved that the simpler the tactic, the more difficult it is to crack.

The two sides fought hand-to-hand, and the main guns of the large battleships all turned off at the same time.

The main gun that needs to be recharged is not only difficult to hit in a melee, but also easy to accidentally injure friendly troops.

In the ensuing battle, the two sides showed completely different fighting styles.

On the side of the cannon fodder fleet, cannon fodder tactics were brought to the extreme.

"Hive Tactics!" The order was issued.

A large number of small warships poured out from the large mothership.

These small warships have weak protection and poor sustained combat capability.

But they are not only extremely fast, but also very flexible in flight movements.

Most importantly, they are equipped with only one main gun, but the attack is very sharp enough to pose a serious threat to conventional warships.

The technology of this warship is not advanced, it can even be described as crude.

But there is no doubt that this is the most suitable warship for cannon fodder tactics:
The cost of cannon fodder is cheap, the construction speed is efficient, and the combat effect is good.

These details are included in the intelligence provided by Ian.

Naturally, the Nova Fleet was not unprepared.

The captains responded skillfully. While dodging the enemy's attack, they did not forget to launch a counterattack:

"Start the energy storm!"

The outer armor of the battleship was fine-tuned, and countless muzzles were exposed, covering every corner of the battleship, covering 360 degrees without dead ends.

There is no recharging time, countless energy beams are fired instantly, and each beam is precisely locked on a small battleship.

Small warships swarmed like bee swarms, and they were all empty in an instant!
This is the best way to deal with cannon fodder tactics: increase the killing efficiency!
The cannon fodder fleet has small warships for cannon fodder tactics, and the Nova Fleet naturally also has targeted self-defense weapons!

Although the Nova Fleet counterattacked fiercely, in fact, their tactical arrangements have always been self-protection-oriented and have never changed.

Even when using 'Energy Storm', the energy supply of the battleship is still given priority to the energy shield, followed by the power system, and finally the armed system.

After all, the war has just begun, and one or two rounds of outbreaks are far from enough to determine the final outcome.

Even if the 'energy storm' of the Nova Fleet can last forever, it is impossible to kill all the enemies in a short time!
Fortunately, Tony doesn't have to worry about trade-offs.

The power of the energy system of the new fleet warship is large enough, even the lowest priority armed system, the energy supply is still sufficient.

The key to the Nova Fleet's ability to do this lies in the special internal structure of its warships.

In a battleship that is at least several hundred meters long, the living space accounts for less than one percent of the huge interior space.

The living space of shipboard personnel is reduced, and naturally there is more space to install more powerful energy equipment and more self-defense weapons.

When Tony saw the battleship design for the first time, he asked this question:

"In the design of this battleship, why is the internal space so small?"

"The battleship has only one captain and no other crew members. Such a large living space is enough!" Ian replied.

"A warship more than 300 meters long, controlled by a captain, are you kidding me?" Tony was shocked at the time.

"I don't have that many crew members, so I can only find a way to let one person control one. Not only the 300-meter-long basic warship, but also the kilometer-long warship. Please help solve this problem!" This is Ian's answer at the time.

From the very beginning of building the fleet, Ian never thought about recruiting ordinary people as crew members.

Because the movement is too large and the uncontrollability is too high.Far less useful than the mutants trained by the Carnegie Institute!

As a result, after overcoming various difficulties and realizing the realization of one person and one ship, a lot of benefits gradually emerged.

The usable space of the warship has become larger, which is only secondary.

The key is that warships react faster and work better together.

One person may not be as thoughtful as hundreds of people, but the reaction speed and decision-making speed of one person far exceed that of a team of hundreds of people.

Most of the unique tactics of the Nova Fleet are based on this efficient foundation!

The battle goes on and on!

"Third Division... Seventh Division, keep your distance, don't get out of formation! ... Ninth Division..."

As the commander-in-chief, Tony's task is to control the overall situation, check for omissions and make up for vacancies, and maintain the fleet's battle formation.

The last of these tasks is the most important.

Even if it is a melee and joint operations cannot be performed, coordinated operations must be maintained.

From small-scale collaboration to overall collaboration, every detail is very important.

Especially the overall formation, must not be dispersed!
After all, the enemy of Nova Troops is far more than the cannon fodder fleet, and the more dangerous core fleet
Tony must keep an eye on the movement of this fleet.

Maintaining the overall formation is to better guard against their surprise attacks.

With the strength of the Nova Fleet, once they are dispersed, they will fight on their own.

Facing a larger and elite fleet, apart from being completely annihilated, there will be absolutely no second result.

Now that the fleet is silent, it doesn't mean that it will remain silent forever.

Tony believes: as long as the Nova Fleet reveals a fatal flaw, this fleet will definitely pounce on it immediately!
……

Tony's guess is correct, the elite fleet, under the command of the superstar, is indeed ready to attack at any time.

It was only because of the flagship that needed to be guarded that it did not take the initiative to attack.

Among the flagships, four huge portals are opening on all sides of Thanos' throne.

Even without the space gem, Thanos can still easily open the portal to the earth by relying on his own throne.

It also takes a little time to expand the portal.

Earth, Avengers Headquarters.

"Sir, abnormal spatial fluctuations have been found!" An alert was issued to the US team on Friday.

In order to make the US team's command more efficient, Tony deliberately left Friday as the US team's command auxiliary system.

"Which area is it?" Captain America quickly looked at the big screen.

I saw that the screen was divided into four pieces, each displaying a different monitoring screen.

Without exception, in the four screens, there is a portal that is expanding.

"There are four portals?!"

The US team was startled, and immediately reminded on the command channel:

"Everyone, prepare for battle immediately! The enemy is coming soon!"

"Which direction?" Sam, who was on guard in the sky, looked around immediately.

"Every direction!" Captain America replied.

Thanos' goal is very clear, which is to capture the Infinity Stones.

Both the Mind Gem and the Time Gem are here, so he naturally wouldn't put the portal elsewhere.

The four portals are all concentrated in the Fulian headquarters, and evenly distributed in the four directions of the Fulian, just surrounding here.

"The enemy is likely to attack from four directions at the same time, and our defense plan must be adjusted..." the US team continued to command.

Defending in four directions at the same time, for the Fulian, which is short of manpower, naturally doubles the pressure.

Before the adjustment, the US team asked Friday: "Friday, the portal is fully formed, how long will it take?"

"Sir, the portal will fully form in three minutes!" Friday replied.

"3 minutes? Enough!"

Captain America nodded slightly, then quickly opened the command channel:

"Abandon the outer line of defense, the sentry post opens and sinks, and then returns immediately. The first line of defense must be withdrawn within 3 minutes!"

The number of defensive directions suddenly increased to four, and the problem of insufficient manpower became prominent. The lengthening of the front line and mutual support became a problem.

Especially the outer defense line, once it encounters a key attack, the defense force is insufficient, and the support is not timely, casualties are likely to occur.

So to be on the safe side, the US team can only choose to give up the outer defense.

Originally, there were not enough manpower, and no one could afford to lose.

"Received!...Understood!..." Several people standing guard on the outer defense line immediately carried out the order.

It is not difficult to turn the defensive line into a trap, there are ready-made arrangements, and it does not take much time.

In less than 2 minutes, everyone withdrew to the first line of defense, and various traps outside the line of defense were also activated simultaneously.

Immediately, the entire Avengers League was surrounded by countless traps, without even leaving any safe passages!

This is one of the preparations for the reunion during this time.

But how useful are these traps?

Everyone didn't have high expectations!

After all, the power of those weapons and bombs is limited, at most they can kill some small soldiers, and it is difficult to hurt the real strong.

The development of things is similar to their expectations.

After the portal was formed, the first thing to come out was not the elite of the enemy, but countless deformed modified creatures.

These deformed and ugly guys look like cheap cannon fodder.

"This is the most commonly used cannon fodder tactic when Thanos attacks the planet!" Star-Lord subconsciously drew out his gun.

Undoubtedly, the role of these cannon fodder is to ward off thunder and create a safe attack route for life.

In the continuous sinking, these cannon fodders died batch after batch like harvesting wheat.

But the cannon fodder pouring out of the portal still hasn't decreased!

They used countless corpses to quickly fill up the trap in front of them.

"Up to 5 minutes, all traps will be leveled." Black Widow said.

"I bet it won't take more than 3 minutes!" Rocket Raccoon interjected.

Black Widow ignored it, but turned to the US team and asked, "What are we going to do?"

"Wait!" was Captain America's reply.

"Wait? Do nothing?" Xingjue asked back with a look of incomprehension.

He has already started to move around!
Ever since Gamora was captured, he's lost his cool and, like his knife-wielding buddy, has become impulsive, especially when facing Thanos.

"Calm down!" Banner gently patted the shoulders of the two to calm them down.

"All we have to do is wait for them to come!" Captain America explained,

"The victory or defeat of the battle does not depend on these little soldiers. No matter how many they die, it will not affect the final result, so we don't need to waste our energy on them!"

The US team doesn't know enough about the information of the two sides, but he still keenly discovers the key to the war.

"Steve is right, the minions can destroy our defense line at most, and can't take away our infinite gems!" Banner echoed.

Everyone already knows that the purpose of Thanos is the infinite gems, not to occupy the earth.

This is a war over infinite gems!

As the war on this side of the earth begins.

According to Ian's plan, this infinite war was successfully divided into three battlefields!
The battle situation has temporarily reached the result Ian expected:
The intensity of war on the earth has been reduced to the minimum, and the scope of the war has also been reduced to the minimum.

Some of the most destructive enemies, Thanos himself and his fleet, were successfully left in space by Ian.

To maximize the protection of the earth from war damage!

After all, if Infinity War breaks out on Earth.

The damage caused to the earth may not be worse than a nuclear war!
Of course, everything now is temporary, and whether it will be so smooth in the future, no one knows?

　I was late going home today, only these [-] words!
