The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

Chapter 91： much-anticipated duel
Chapter 91 The much-anticipated duel

What is the concept of three or four hundred kilometers in length and width?

In the earth age, Hainan Island was 740 kilometers wide from east to west and 470 kilometers from north to south.

A super air force base as large as half the area of ​​Hainan Island.

Although there is still a large part of this area that has not been fully completed, the completed part alone is enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands or even millions of space fighters.

The construction of this hangar is extended outward, extending ten kilometers to the left and right, which can increase an extremely large area, and the space fighters that can be accommodated can increase geometrically.

”you?”

”As you can see, this is an air force base under construction. It is fully built to accommodate hundreds of millions of space fighters. In times of war, I can directly open the exit in space to achieve an effect similar to a super mothership. .”

”Now there are 50,000 space fighters here, but it is estimated that it is not enough for the next war. I need more space fighters.”

”No problem, I’ll communicate.”

”By the way, is 80,000 enough?”

”I can only come up with 400 billion.”

”The team will raise another 500 billion, and buy another 100,000 to be incorporated into the first fleet of the legion.”

”Row.”

Li Qing is not polite.

When the Legion is first established, it will generally focus on building the First Fleet to meet various challenges, and will build other fleets after the Legion has developed.

Their actions are not hidden, and there is no way to hide them. Anyone can guess as long as they see the buying information from them in the regional channel and the current situation.

In addition, Brilliant and Aquarius also entered the market, and the two rich and powerful teams directly purchased some ships that might be sold in the market at a higher price than theirs. As long as they have an absolute advantage in ship capacity, they will win if they can stop them from reinforcing .

At the same time, all the players around the entire outpost know that the two teams of Brilliance and Aquarius will continue to suppress the new army, Jialan. Stay on the sidelines and see which side wins.

Most players are not optimistic about Jialan, after all, the difference in strength is too great.

Even after the black market heard about it, the inter-galactic gaming company behind it opened a handicap.

Li Qing took a look, among them, Brilliant and Aquarius team lost 1.2 to 1 victory, Jialan team lost 8 to 1 victory, and lost 20 to 1 in a tie.

And this odds are constantly widening the gap with the strength of the two sides over time, until Yu Yuefei, the head of the Jialan Army, officially issued a letter of challenge to the two teams of Huihuang and Aquarius, agreeing to be in the outpost galaxy in a week later, in the expeditionary force and the Aquarius team. The decisive battle witnessed by many teams reached the peak.

The letter of war agreed that if Brilliant and Aquarius were defeated, not only would they have to withdraw from the Galan Galaxy and return the occupied Galan Star Fort and many territories, but they would also need to pay up to two trillion star dollars in compensation for their defeat within the agreed time.

Correspondingly, if Jialan is defeated, the occupied Jialan galaxy and star castle will naturally belong to the two teams. How to divide it is their business, and they will also have to pay up to three trillion star yuan in reparations and compensation for the defeat.

It can be said that this battle is directly related to the weakness of the three teams. Once defeated, the consequences will be very serious.

Because of this, the influence of this duel is getting bigger and bigger, the handicap funds are getting more and more, and the accumulated bets are as high as more than 20 trillion when the market is about to be closed.

The amount was too large, enough for the gaming company to have some ideas, so the expeditionary army went to the United Gaming Company to take over the plate to ensure fairness and notarization without interference from off-site factors.

At the same time, in order to ensure that the influence will not get out of control, the handicap is also closed after the brilliant and Aquarius formally fight, so as to prevent the families behind the two teams from getting involved.

Final Odds—

Brilliant and Aquarius win 0.3 to 1, which means that they can earn 30% in addition to the principal.

Jalan’s winning odds reached 14 to 1. If he can defeat his opponent with a weak victory, he can earn 1400% in addition to the principal.

The draw has not changed, and it is still 20 to 1.

Most players are not optimistic about the Jialan team. After all, the strength of the two sides on the table is too different. This is not a game that can be turned around by an excellent commander.

But there are also many players who buy Jialan Victory, not because they have confidence in them, but because they are just gamblers. There are always people who want to gamble.

To be honest, the odds would be even more exaggerated if it weren’t for the handicap limit to buy Brilliant and Aquarius to win.

Li Qing was no exception. He bought all of his remaining 29.3 billion star dollars for Jialanying. After purchasing battleships and supplies, many members of the team also collected tens of billions of staryuan to buy Jialanying.

If you win, you can recover a wave of blood, and if you lose, you will collapse on the spot.

According to the unspoken rules, after the closing, the two sides will be supervised by the expeditionary force, and all the fleets that need to go to battle will be transferred to the outpost. During this period, no additional warships are allowed, and no other support can be received. The personnel and fleet size must be reported to the expeditionary force who is also a referee for supervision.

In other words, a grievance between several teams has now become a duel under the eyes of everyone.

If you fail under the eyes of everyone, not to mention losing everything, but you will definitely suffer heavy losses. Not only will a large number of warships be scrapped, but the prestige of the team will also plummet. In this competition, you dare not say that you are out on the spot, and its competitiveness will definitely be greatly weakened.

The winner’s prestige will naturally increase greatly, and he can step on the opponent’s corpse and jump up.

Seven days passed quickly, and the fleets of both sides slowly left the berth under the supervision of the expeditionary force, heading towards a starry sky that had already been divided into a battlefield.

In order to be absolutely fair and just, the starry sky is far away from the orbit of the planet, and there are no natural celestial bodies to affect the battle. The two sides can only fight head-on with absolute strength. Players want to watch the battle, and the frigate cannot sit on it. They can only approach the battlefield with non-combat aircraft to avoid interference. duel.

To be honest, this is a disadvantage for Jialan. Most of the battles where the weak defeat the strong are based on off-field factors. In frontal battles, it is very rare and difficult for the weak to defeat the strong.

But since it is a fair duel, this is the only way to go.

”There are a lot less Jialan here!”

A player is sitting on the seat of the aircraft, and the light curtain in front of him shows the virtual projections of the fleets and combat members of both sides. From the projections, the difference in the number of warships between the two sides can be clearly seen.

”Fortunately, I bought Brilliant and won.”

He smiled and clicked on the fleet information on the brilliant side to check.

Suddenly another player sitting on the side wondered:

”Huh? Why is the commander-in-chief submitted by Jialan not the army commander, but a deputy army commander?”

”Let me see.”

”Really, who is Li Qing? Why is it not commanded by the army chief?”

”I found it. The structure of the Jialan Legion shows that Yu Yuefei, the head of the army, is the chief executive. This person named Li Qing is the second largest shareholder of Jialan, the deputy head of the army and the chief of the military.”

”No way, I remember that Yu Yuefei not only has the innate talent of purple command, but also a psychic, and now her psychic power has soared. Such a powerful talent is not the commander-in-chief. How can this person be the commander-in-chief?”

”Maybe he is more capable?”

”Improbable”

But although his tone was uncertain, he actually believed it in his heart.

Such an important duel cannot be a joke. Since this person who has never heard of it before is the commander-in-chief, he must be more suitable.

More than one person saw the command list submitted by Jia Langang. Gu Shenzhou checked it immediately after the submission by both parties, and then gave the information to other crimson core members on the aircraft, saying:

”It really is him. I want to see why he sneaked into the Shata V galaxy before.”

The other crimson core looked at it and said with a smile:

”Don’t you think that with the current strength gap between the two sides, Jialan can win?”

He pointed to the projection and said:

”Jalan has a total of 24 battleships, 136 cruisers, 347 destroyers, and 1,650 frigates.”

”Looking at the glorious battle force, there are a total of 76 battleships, 310 cruisers, 540 destroyers, and 3,800 frigates.”

”Aquarius has a total of 82 battleships, 360 cruisers, 520 destroyers, and 4,100 frigates.”

”In summary, the difference in strength is more than five times. As long as the expeditionary forces don’t get sidelined, how can you win?”

Gu Shenzhou remained silent. To be honest, he couldn’t see how to win in this situation, unless Li Qing also had a top-notch treasure similar to Silent Embers in his hands.

But this possibility is really unlikely. If there is such a top-level relic in hand, it will be famous long ago, and the family behind it will definitely fully support it, instead of being unknown until now.

Of course, Li Qing will definitely become famous after this battle, regardless of the outcome.

The fleets of both sides slowly entered the field. Li Chenhao, the head of the Brilliant Team and the military commander, sent his communication to the entire fleet and said loudly:

”Brothers, today’s battle is related to my glorious prestige. Although we have the advantage, we should not be careless. You all cooperate with the Aquarius team and do your best to defeat Jialan.”

Similarly, on another battleship, Qi Yunfei, head of the Aquarius team and military commander, also announced pre-war mobilization.

In the bridge of a battleship, Li Qing did not sit on the command chair, but stood in the center of the empty bridge, surrounded by a circle of projections. He looked around at the projections of the Jialan cores, and said in a deep voice:

”Today’s battle, you don’t need to worry, just follow the order later.”

After speaking, he turned and returned to the command seat to sit down, leaving everyone to look at each other, Zhang Ruoyang touched his head and smiled:

”Chairman, why don’t you encourage us?”

Wang Yanqing had no pre-war worries on his face, he laughed and said:

”There is no need for encouragement, just wait for the applause.”

Duan Qian did not know where to get a video, and said while playing it:

”Everyone hurry up and learn, it may be useful later.”

Deng Wu stared blankly at them playing and learning the clapping movements of the masters of success in the video. He touched his head, feeling much less nervous unknowingly.

He didn’t know about the existence of Li Yuan, the Servant of Light, before the last action. At this time, he couldn’t understand why everyone wasn’t worried at all.

After hesitating for a long time, he chatted with Yu Yuefei privately, and the answer he got was that he would find out after a while.

On the command seat, Li Qing turned on the communication to reveal Ding Youran’s charming appearance. She clenched her fist and encouraged:

”Come on, I believe you can win!”

He smiled and said:

”Of course I will win.”

Closed off the communication, and received a message from Yu Yuefei:

”The top leaders of the expeditionary force are paying attention to you, and you must win.”

He replied:

”I will.”

Then Yu Yueyao also sent a message:

”My wealth and life are in your hands. If we lose, we will all go bankrupt!”

He smiled slightly, but didn’t respond.

”It’s about to start.”

The start date of the duel set by the expeditionary force was 2:00 pm standard time. When the pointer slowly reached that point, everyone cheered up and looked towards the battlefield.

”Boom!”

When the crisp bell rang, Li Qing stretched out his finger, and the light door opened, and Li Yuan, the servant of light, stepped out of it and saluted him. He nodded and said:

”You can command 24 battleships, 136 cruisers, 347 destroyers, 1,650 frigates, and a total of 230,000 space fighters. Try to ensure the survival of the main battleships. You can wear and tear other battleships and space battleships at will.”

Li Yuan nodded:

”Your will is mine!”

This is the bottom line Li Qing gave him, as long as the battleship is not sunk, it doesn’t matter even if the other battleships are completely destroyed.

Among many battleships, battleships are the most rare, and it may take a long time to replace one lost.

Although cruisers are also large battleships, they are far less difficult to obtain than battleships, let alone destroyers. They are completely cannon fodder, and they are easy to obtain as long as you have money.

Especially frigates, if the major teams of this kind of cannon fodder are willing, they can pile up tens of thousands of ships in a short time.

But tens of thousands of frigates do not improve the overall strength of the team much, because such small ships are too worn out, and a lot of them will be sunk in a random battle.

The fleets of the two sides approached slowly according to the standard battle formation, and gradually expanded their formation during the approach. From the outsiders’ perspective, the formation of the Jialan team suddenly became deformed at a certain period of time, and soon became normal again.

Brilliant on the other side and Aquarius communicate with each other, and they approach synchronously from left to right.

In the eyes of outsiders, the fleet of Brilliant and Aquarius looks like a big lobster with two huge pincers to grab an incoming crayfish. The size difference is too big.

The Servant of Light didn’t use any fancy tactics, and just went straight up to meet them. Brilliant and Aquarius, who had an absolute superiority in strength, naturally wouldn’t do anything unnecessary. The distance between the two sides quickly approached, and the hearts of many spectators were raised.

On the edge of the battlefield, on the only battleship, many senior leaders of the expeditionary force also came to watch the battle in person.

The configuration of the highest decision-making level of the expeditionary force consists of a commander-in-chief, two deputy commanders-in-chief, a chief of staff, a deputy chief of staff, a chief of operations, and two chiefs of operations, a total of eight people.

In addition to the commander-in-chief, the chief of staff and a chief of operations also belong to the Yu family, three of the eight top decision-makers belong to the Yu family, and most of the others are friends with the Yu family.

Actually, the Chief of Operations of the Yu family, who was the first to know about this, did not agree with the duel between Jialan and Huihuang and Aquarius at first. The gap on paper was too great.

It was Yu Yuefei who agreed and informed Li Qing of the situation before they agreed.

So at this time they came here to watch the battle in person, not just because of Jialan, but mainly to see how the command ability of the Servant of Light is.
