C29

As Karl's fighters wheels hit the Einherjars hangars floor he turned off his thrusters completely.

Allowing the already waiting ground crew with different colored jackets who had their fully-enclosed helmets with oxygen tanks on their backs.

Start rearming, refueling and repairing his fighter.

"You got 5 mins top!"

Karl said after he opened his cockpit to which the commander of his assigned ground crew gave a thumbs up.

"You heard the man, we got 5 mins so load those baby's up ASAP!"

The commander barked as he motioned with his hands towards the 8 300 mm multipurpuse missiles that had "with love from humanity" written on them.

Since Einherjars artificial gravity generators were currently turned off two soldiers picked one up and connected it to one of right wings empty missile locks.

While others refueled the fighters cooling liquids and rearmed it's countermeasures.

Since the fighter had brand new ion thrusters that ran on a mini cold fusion reactor.

It had no need for something like fuel anymore.

"3 KIAs ..."

Karl couldn't help butt mutter to himself as he took off his helmet and stuffed a cigarette between his lips after closing his cockpit.

...

"XO what's the sitrep?"

I asked after Einherjar destroyed the seconds fleets last frigate.

"UNOEs thunder and goliath are out of commition their engineers and technicians are doing their best to repair them"

"Understood how many fighters and bombers did the fleet loose?"

"20 percent KIA and 3 percent managed to eject safely, I already scrambled our dropships to recover them"

"Good what about the closing in on us Briaan fleet when are they going to enter our railgun effective firing range?"

"30 mins sir"

I looked at my holographic table and after a few seconds of brainstorming gave my next orders.

"Scramble all of our mechs, tell them to push the nearest debris towards our ships and once the Briaans enter our firing range start pummeling them"

"Yes sir!"

...

"You want to do what?!"

Lilith who was sitting in her mechs cockpit asked after hearing Auroras orders.

"Scramble all the mechs and use the debris to encase the Einherjar"

Even after Lilith heard it the second time she still looked at Auroras holographic projection as if she lots her marbles.

"Admirals orders"

"Copy"

Lilith finally said as she disconnected the call.

"Alright listen up numbskulls our mission is simple, eject without you're drop pods, find the nearest piece of debris and push it in front of Einherjar, any questions? No?! Start working!"

Lilith ordered in one breath as she maneuvered her mech to exit the drop pod that got maneuvered to the side.

By mechanical arms and jump out through the square hole that wasn't being protected by an energy barrier.

Like it should since the system they were in disabled all forms of energy barriers.

As the the company commanders voiced our her orders acknowledgements.

...

"Admiral! The Briaan fleet has entered our railguns effective firing range!"

Aurora reported after seeing the warships AI's notification.

"All ships fire at will!"

I barked out my order.

6 out of 8 battleships who had already adjusted their muzzles and calculated their firing parameters discharged their slugs in unison.

At incoming 150 warships strong fleet.

...

"My Lord!The humans have started firing their railguns! What are your orders?!"

The first fleets adjustant asked.

"How much till our railguns can open fire?"

The admiral asked.

"30 minutes my Lord!"

Hearing this the admiral gritted his teeth and gave his order that would send thousand soft Briaans to their death.

"Ignore it and continue moving at our current trajectory!"

"Understood my Lord!"

...

"What the f*ck are the Briaans mad?"

Hans already a mech platoons second in command who was piloting his mech to push.

A large chunk of the second fleets flagship together with other mech pilots in front of Einherjar that discharged another payload of slugs.

Couldn't help but curse out after seeing the Briaan warships get shredded into scrap metal one after another.

Only for his platoons commander to explain Briaans actions

"It's simple if they try to evade they will only suffer even more casualties"

"Why thou sir?"

Hans who only knew how to fight on the ground couldn't help but ask.

"Once they start Evasive maneuvers their speed will slow down allowing us to have more time at pummeling them and repair our ships"

The platoons commander who graduated from fleet acadamy explained as he and ewryone else stopped pushing the chunk allowing it to gently hit another chunk.

That made the first chunk stabilize itself after it's kinetic energy got absorbed by the second one.

"Alright onto next one boys!"

...

"My Lord were in range!"

"Fire! Fire! All ships fire!"

The furious admiral who already lost 15 frigates, ten destroyers and 3 cruisers to humans slugs roared as he stood up from his seat.

As he did the Briaan warships discharged their own slugs at the human warships that were covered in debris with the only holes left for their firing railguns.

...

Both sides continued to fire at each other but the Briaans kept missing most of the time and the one ones that hit only further destroyed the debris surrounding the human warships.

While the Briaan fleet kept on loosing a warship after warship.

Which left a tail made up of destroyed warships and their debries.

This continued until both sided launched their space torpedoes.

But once again the Briaans came out on the loosing side.

There were two reasons for that, one being that the Briaan space torpedoes could only vaporise the debris surrounding the battleships first.

The second one was that the human battleships had hundreds of flak canons that didn't allow even one torpedoe to pass through their deadly net.

While the Briaans only had a few dozens on their main warships at best.

As for the reason why they had so little of them? Well the briaans didn't have energy distributors built in their torpedoes.

So in their thinking they had no need for so much of them.

Afterall so far they didn't encounter anyone who had torpedoes that could pass through energy shields

So by the time the Briaans entered the human warships secondary canons range they had less than 50 percent warships left.

...

"Go!Go!Go!"

Hans roared into his platoons communication channel as he set his mechs ion thrusters to the max.

Making him fly straight towards the braain cruiser bellow him that was having his broadside pummeled by Einherjars laser canons.

As it's on laser canons returned the favor.

While it's flak canons fired madly at the human fighters dogfighting Briaan fighters.

"F*ck space combat!"

Hans cursed loudly as he performed dozens of high g maneuvers only for a human bomber squadron that looked like B2 spirit stealth bombers on steroids to release their space torpedoes payloads.

That although weren't as powerful as battleships space torpedoes still packed a punch.

A few lucky ones hit the Briaan cruisers right side and exploded.

As they did the cruisers energy system got crippled making the Briaan flak canons go offline allowing Hans and others to safely land on the cruisers top.

"Get wrecked f*ckers!'

Hans cursed happily as he started destroying canons left and right until one of Einherjars laser canons burned itself through the cruisers cold fusions reactors rooms armor.

BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!

The cruiser started exploding with secondary from the reactor.

"Oh shit! Get the f*ck off! NOW!"

Hans roared as he set his ion thrusters to max prompting others to do the same.

...

"The... the first fleet has been destroyed..."

The minister of war said making the whole throne room fall silent.

"N... no t... that's not possible!"

Can Nil almost screamed as he stood up from his throne with his legs and arms shaking like a tree in a storm.

But no matter how he chose to deny it the reality was that both of the royal guard's fleets were nothing more than space debris now.

And the only thing separating them from the human fleets guns was the Aix star fortress and Aix planets anti-orbital guns.
