There are no buts.

Previously, they complained that there weren't many battles to fight in the Imperial Guard Fleet, unlike other soldiers of the same generation who could make a name for themselves in other legion fleets.

Now that such an opportunity is presented to you, you're starting to chicken out?

I'm telling you, anyone who chickens out gets the hell out of my starship.

"My starships are not cowards!" the captain roared, his voice echoing throughout the bridge as if it would pierce the ceiling.

"Yes." The secretary reluctantly prepared to go and convey this message.

But then the captain called her back and said in a deep voice, "But remember, don't forget our emergency response plan."

If the gun barrel does experience an overload and spontaneously combust, the emergency plan should be followed.

Did you understand?

Make sure there are no casualties!

"Yes!" The secretary's heart skipped a beat. She knew that the captain didn't disregard the lives of his subordinates, but rather required them to ensure their own safety while completing their mission.

Although such a request may sound a bit domineering.

But this is also a responsibility that the captain must bear.

Soon, this instruction was relayed to all the departments below.

"Don't you dare sit still! Make sure all the modules are working properly." A department head, sweating profusely, looked at the soldiers in his department working in front of various instruments.

She glanced at the temperature in this section of the cabin; it had already exceeded forty degrees Celsius.

She unbuttoned her shirt and glanced at the ventilation system above her head.

That's already running at full capacity; it's not that their starship's ventilation system is faulty.

The reason is that every time a heavy artillery piece accumulates energy for firing, it releases a large amount of heat, which directly affects the departments responsible for ensuring the operation of these heavy artillery pieces at the end of the cannon.

Each department section needs to control the operation of thirty heavy cannons.

Therefore, this resulted in the temperature in these compartments remaining consistently high.

"Report! The barrel of gun 057 is deformed!" the crew members exclaimed.

"Don't panic. Calculate the deformation and see if it has reached a point where it is necessary to shut down the heavy artillery."

"Remember the emergency plan. If a problem occurs, immediately activate the emergency procedure," the department head shouted.

"Yes..." The crew member took a deep breath and focused intently on his work.

Suddenly, she saw that the reading on the 057 gun barrel had changed from flashing red to solid red, and the related monitors were all displaying alarms.

If someone were looking at this heavy cannon from outside the starship at this moment, they would see that the cannon barrel has collapsed, a situation that would only occur due to severe overload.

This sudden situation startled the crew member, and her mind went blank for a moment.

It's as if all emergency plans have been completely forgotten.

Just then, a pair of hands appeared beside her.

"What are you standing there for? Activate the emergency plan!" The department head appeared beside her without her noticing.

Then she took over her work directly, first pressing the split button. In that instant, the cannon barrel separated directly from the ship's hull, leaving only the gun mount.

At the same time, a large amount of coolant was sprayed out, covering the gun mount and allowing it to cool down, which had already reached its limit.

The next step is to check all the data.

The department head finally breathed a sigh of relief after the alarm stopped.

She glared at her newly promoted recruit: "I've already warned you, don't mess things up at this time."

Just this once!

If there's a next time, you'll have to go back to where you came from.

I can't be lucky enough to clean up your messes every time!

"Yes...yes...thank you, sir." The crew member breathed a sigh of relief.

Because she knew that she had almost made a big mistake.

If it weren't for the help of his superiors at this time, he might have ended up in a military court and his rank would have been reduced by several levels.

"Repeat it again, how do we handle various emergencies?" The department head looked at the young crew member seriously.

The young crew member immediately said, "If the gun barrel overheats or deforms, jettison the barrel immediately and cool the gun mount in time."

If the gun mount malfunctions, immediately seal off the section where the gun mount is located, inject coolant, and ensure that the situation is prevented from escalating to the point of explosion or other serious consequences.

In the event of an explosion or similar incident, immediately sound the evacuation alarm and evacuate all personnel in the affected and surrounding compartments. Simultaneously, activate fire safety facilities.

..."

“Remember these things.” The department head patted her on the shoulder and then returned to his post.

We will continue to closely monitor the work situation in each position.

Fortunately, when the ten-minute saturation fire was finally met, none of the thirty heavy artillery positions under their department experienced serious malfunctions, except for a few gun barrels that were overloaded and discarded.

This put everyone at ease.

“Leave a team of people here to continue monitoring the situation at each location.”

The others can now move to the outer cabins to rest. The department head wiped the sweat from his brow and came out.

Separated only by a door, the temperature between the two compartments was like that between a volcano and the mortal world.

In an instant, everyone felt much more comfortable.

Some people were so exhausted that they collapsed in the outer cabin. Almost everyone who came out left footprints with water stains, which were the result of their sweat.

"Remember to stay hydrated and don't get dehydrated." Although the department head was also very tired, he still reminded his subordinates of this important point immediately.

She then opened the communication channel with other department heads, where she could see the information they were sharing.

These are basically the situations of various departments.

Most of them were relatively lucky and did not suffer any major losses.

But when the department head saw the news that thirteen gun mounts in one department had exploded due to a series of overloads, he frowned.

I immediately inquired about the relevant situation.

Fortunately, the department evacuated all relevant personnel after discovering the emergency.

Although this rendered the thirty heavy artillery pieces under the control of this department unusable, at least no personnel were lost.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were no casualties.

Adjust your emotions.

The department head looked at his crew members and shouted, "Ten-minute break! Change your clothes, drink water, and take some nutritional supplements."

Ten minutes later, I immediately returned to my post and cooperated with the maintenance department to repair and replace our gun barrel.

"Restore all artillery positions in our department to combat readiness as quickly as possible."

"yes."

Ten minutes of saturation fire from the interstellar heavy artillery ships did indeed buy the Dragon Starships an opportunity to close the distance with the enemy.

As the smoke from the explosions surrounding the Drought Demon King's fleet dissipated, they saw the Falcon Dragon interstellar warships almost within reach.

That attack range could almost be described as not mid-range, but only short-range.

The close-in weapon systems on a starship can even attack enemy starships.

The next second.

The JF-17 interstellar warships that charged forward opened fire.

The cannons on those interstellar warships locked onto the interstellar warships of the Drought Demon King's fleet, unleashing a barrage of their own fire.

Because of the close distance, there's almost no need for aiming; you can just fire directly.

Because of the close proximity, the effect of the attack was obvious.

Although the Drought Demon King's fleet reacted in time, the opposing Dragon-class interstellar warships were far superior to them in terms of individual strength.

Although they also have T6-class interstellar warships.

However, their Drought Demon King Legion's T6-class interstellar warships are practically sitting ducks once they appear within the attack radius of the opposing Falcon Dragon interstellar warships!

Those T6 Seraphim Ballista-class interstellar long-range hunters in the Imperial Guard fleet!

Relying on its ability to snipe from extremely long distances, it used the Seraphim Ballista to snipe enemy interstellar warships one by one within its attack range.

Thanks to the presence of the Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship, which provides overall control, and the reconnaissance squadrons deployed by the Ghost Scout Ace Fleet around it, information from the battlefield was gathered together.

These T6 Seraphim Ballista-class interstellar long-range hunters don't even need to search for prey themselves; all the information about the prey will appear before them.

They only need to input the corresponding attack coordinates into the weapon system and then press the fire button.

That terrifying attack will destroy the target in the shortest amount of time.

These targets were all, without exception, T6-class interstellar warships of the Drought Demon King's fleet.

However, relying solely on the long-range sniping capabilities of these T6 Seraphim Ballista-class interstellar long-range hunters is still insufficient.

After all, there are a thousand T6-class interstellar warships in this Drought Demon King's fleet.

Meanwhile, the T6 Purple Gold Silver Dragon-class heavy interstellar battleships, mixed in with the assault fleet, began to bare their fangs.

Unlike other star destroyers and star cruisers that attack indiscriminately, they search for their prey like lurking dragons.

Once it finds its prey, it will unceremoniously bare its fangs and teeth, tearing the target to pieces and eliminating it in the shortest possible time.

This should be considered the second battle for this starship; the first battle was against the invading fleet of the Devouring Civilization that invaded the Dragon Star Empire's universe.

The second time was also against the interstellar fleet that devoured the civilization, but the battlefield environment was completely different. This time it was in the home universe of the devouring civilization!
