"Does that mean we have hope?" Liu Lili asked happily.

Shen Bing, however, said in a deep voice, "But there's a problem with this plan."

"What?" Liu Lili asked, blinking.

"Insufficient firepower! The T2 Black Rhino's firepower is severely lacking. While its ramming tactics are very effective against T2 Starships,

how long would it take to damage the hull armor of that T3 Black Iron-Class Medium Star Destroyer when facing a t3 level Starship?

During that time, the T2 Black Rhinos might be annihilated one by one by the T3 Black Iron!" Shen Bing clenched her fists.

"Then... what should we do?" Liu Lili panicked again.

Shen Bing stared at the video screen, waiting for Commander Zhao Chen's arrangements.

Since Commander Zhao Chen dared to do this, he must have a backup plan!

T2 Queen Bee-class Heavy Aircraft Carrier Starship

"Report, five T2 Black Rhinos have reached the effective range for 'Short-Range Assault'! Although the hulls of the five T2 Black Rhinos have varying degrees of damage, it does not affect their overall combat effectiveness!" Lilith reported.

"Execute the second phase of the combat plan!" Commander Zhao Chen said sternly.

"Understood, Commander's order! Execute the second phase of the combat plan!" Lilith relayed Commander Zhao Chen's order.

On the battlefield, five T2 Black Rhinos began to accelerate almost simultaneously. Although their respective hull armor was already riddled with scars, and even had cracks tens of meters long,

it did not affect their speed in the slightest.

The five T2 Black Rhinos formed a semi-encirclement, beginning to attack the T3 Black Iron.

The 50 T2-class 300mm heavy Close-in Weapon Systems equipped on each T2 Black Rhino began to unleash their firepower in unison.

Had it been an ordinary T2 Starship, it might have already been riddled with holes.

But unfortunately, this was a t3 level Starship.

The Star Shield deployed, blocking the attack from one direction.

Attacks from other directions landed on the T3 Black Iron's hull armor, which began to show a rain of bullet marks. Although numerous, their lethality was truly [N O V E L I G H T] minimal.

"Prepare to ram!" The captain of T2 Black Rhino No. 1 ship was the first to give the order.

The speed increased once again, and the large black horn heavily impacted the T3 Black Iron's hull armor.

However, the penetrating wound seen on T2 Starships did not appear; it was merely a small laceration!

This shows that the hull armor of a T3 Starship is not on the same level as a T2 Starship.

The other T2 Black Rhinos also began ramming!

At the same time, the T3 Black Iron's secondary cannons began to return fire, and its re-charged pulse laser main cannon also aimed at these close-range enemy ships.

A large hole was directly blasted through the front armor of one T2 Black Rhino. Fortunately, the T2 Black Rhino's hull armor was sturdy enough; otherwise, it would not have been as simple as just a large hole.

However, in this situation, it couldn't withstand many more hits!

"The problem of insufficient firepower has been exposed." Shen Bing bit her red lips, her worried feelings rising again.

Facing this situation, Commander Zhao Chen's expression remained unchanged.

"Initiate the third phase of the combat plan!" Commander Zhao Chen said.

"Understood, initiate the third phase of the combat plan!" Lilith began to relay the order.

The order was relayed.

An astonishing scene appeared: several compartments in the belly of the five T2 Black Rhinos that were ramming opened, and small objects were deployed.

"They are Interstellar Drones!" Shen Bing recognized these deployed small objects at first glance.

They were none other than the T2 Queen Bee's Interstellar Drones!

There were a total of more than fifty t2 killer bee-class medium interstellar drones and fifteen t2 bumblebee-class heavy interstellar drones!

The five T2 Black Rhinos that were ramming stopped, instead using their Close-in Weapon Systems to suppress the T3 Black Iron-Class Medium Star Destroyer's Close-in Weapon System firepower!

Under the firepower cover of the T2 Black Rhinos, the t2 bumblebee-class heavy interstellar drones aimed at one of the largest hull damage points created by the T2 Black Rhinos' ramming and dropped their bombs.

Boom boom boom boom

If there were human crew members inside this T3 Black Iron, they would certainly have heard the rumbling sound from their hull, like an explosion.

After a round of bombing by the t2 bumblebee-class heavy interstellar drones, the originally not-so-large damaged area was suddenly expanded dozens of times!

Then an even more astonishing scene appeared.

The t2 killer bee-class medium interstellar drones began to dive one by one, crashing into the torn hull armor damage point at an astonishing speed.

Streaks of exploding flames flashed and disappeared.

"These Interstellar Drones are carrying explosives!" Seeing the explosion's glow, Shen Bing immediately determined that these Interstellar Drones were carrying explosives!

Explosives combined with the drone's own explosion increased the power even further!

Ten... twenty... thirty... forty...

Someone would notice that the weapon system on one side of the T3 Black Iron's hull had stopped attacking, indicating a malfunction in its weapon system module.

And at this moment, the Interstellar Drones' suicide attacks had not stopped.

After the t2 killer bee-class medium interstellar drones finished their suicide attacks, the t2 bumblebee-class heavy interstellar drones also dived down, becoming one of those clusters of exploding, fiery light! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Liu Lili covered her mouth in surprise: "This..."

"This is Commander Zhao Chen's plan! If the T2 Black Rhino's firepower is insufficient, then the Interstellar Drones are hidden in the t2 black rhino-class interstellar heavy assault frigate's compartments in advance.

The T2 Black Rhinos carry them to approach the T3 Black Iron, then launch bombings and subsequent suicide attacks!" Shen Bing's eyes sparkled with excitement.

The exploding fireballs and smoke dissipated.

The hull armor on one side of the T3 Black Iron directly exposed the cross-section of its internal compartments. From a distance, the damaged part of the hull looked as if a piece of flesh had been cut from a large black fish, revealing its bones!

At this moment, the fate of the T3 Black Iron was already clear. Facing the subsequent encirclement by the T2 Black Rhinos, it would ultimately 'die with regret'.

It probably never expected that it, a mighty T3 Starship, would be ganged up on and destroyed by a group of T2 Starships.

After that, the reassembled T2 Black Rhinos, in cooperation with Uncle's fleet, carried out the final cleanup of the remaining Mechanical Race Interstellar Warships.

This battle, lasting nearly an hour, finally ended!

Commander Zhao Chen sat in the captain's chair, letting out a long breath.

"Lilith, tally the battle damage. Then arrange for the T2 Black Rhinos to patrol the surroundings. Our current situation means we can only wait for reinforcements to arrive," Commander Zhao Chen ordered.

"Yes!"
