The lieutenant suddenly cried out. No one knew the meaning of these numbers better than him. This meant that the number of enemy ships attacked from this direction exceeded 5,000.

This is enough to match your fleet.

"Quick! Notify the surrounding friendly ships and let them prepare for battle. Ah———"

Before he finished speaking, a thick white columnar energy had penetrated the entire hull. Looking at the broken armor and the melted rubber compartment in front of him, the young lieutenant felt that he was being wrapped in hot energy. The floating face of the female communication soldier in front of him also turned red and slurry under the terrified expression... In the end, the whole person completely disappeared in front of him.

This is also the last consciousness that he can see and appear in his mind. In the face of the destruction of all death energy, no creature can escape by chance.

Not just a beam of light, thousands of high-energy lasers instantly enveloped the entire fleet. Light ships with defensive capabilities exploded in various ways. Occasionally, several remote warships were about to leave this place of death, but were hit by the dense missiles following behind, adding a few brilliant and colorful flowers to the dark universe.

"Enemy attack! All ships avoid it. Retrieve all landing crafts and form a defensive formation————”

"Open the protective cover and the power chamber fills energy at the fastest speed."

"What is the gunner doing? Fight back quickly———"

Such shouts filled the entire fleet's communication channel. There were screams of death from time to time. The originally neat formation was completely disrupted, and the warships eager to escape from the opponent's attack were looking for a suitable way out. The landing craft that had been released and could not be retracted was floating in the space in a daze, allowing the artillery fire from afar to smash their fragile body into a bursting light ball.

"What the hell is going on? Where did these guys come out? Why didn't the remote detectors have a timely warning?"

The flagship was already in chaos. Simpson, who was sitting in the command seat, waved his fists angrily and asked a series of questions to the staff officers beside him.

No one can answer it. In fact, they are asking the same question in their hearts.

"Your Excellency, order your retreat! If you don't leave, everyone will die here."

A confidant said with a bold voice.

"What a joke? We don't even know who the enemy is. Where is their location? How many? How is the firepower configuration? What should we do if the landing troops that have been released? Just leave, do you want me to go to military court?"

Simpson roared regardless of his image, and even swung his fist to look at the face of his confidant.

He could only use this method to try hard to cover up the fear deep in his heart.

"Even if you are asked about responsibility, it's better than dying here----"

Seeing this, the two staff officers rushed forward, held his arm tightly, and said mercilessly: "Retreat! Otherwise, it would be too late."

"boom----"

A neutron torpedo hit the starboard side of the flagship accurately. The huge vibration shaking everyone on the bridge tilted to one side. Simpson's forehead also touched the corner of the table, making his face full of blood. The severe pain completely woke him up from the numbness of chaos. He suddenly realized that war was far from as wonderful as he imagined.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly! Order all warships to retreat————"

In a panic, he no longer cared about the so-called responsibility. In the face of the threat of death, his performance was even worse than that of ordinary soldiers.

A large mass of airflow emerged from the nozzle in front of the flagship. Driven by the reaction force, the huge ship was rotating slowly and difficult. The frigates surrounding nearby also began to rotate the bow of the ship. Their only way out now is to leave these mysterious opponents far away.

Unfortunately, the other party was obviously not going to let them go. Just as the ship doctor had just bandaged the wound on Simpson's head with yarn, shocking news came again from the surveillance officer at the front of the control seat.

"A large number of unidentified warships were found at six o'clock. The number was more than five thousand...we, we were surrounded———"

Simpson's face suddenly turned pale.

The electronic counter is not wrong. With the attack fleet directly in front, the number of opponent's warships has exceeded 10,000. Moreover, judging from the intensity of the firepower, they should be the main battleships equipped with heavy weapons. On the other hand, the two battleship formations (two thousand ships), the other three guard formations are all standard cruisers and light cruisers.

The enemy ships attacked from the front have left me helpless. In addition, the fleet that appeared behind me clearly wanted to encircle and annihilate myself.

"Break through the two wings quickly and break up the entire fleet and fight each other. You must not be surrounded by them———"

Simpson stomped his feet in a hurry, and under his eager order, the flagship began to turn again.

Suddenly, a staff officer injured in chaos and covered in blood on his face stumbled and grabbed his hand, begging: "General. You can't do this. Once the fleet is dispersed, the transport fleet loaded with infantry will be completely completed. That is one hundred thousand people, a total of one hundred thousand lives!"

"I can't control so much now. Let them fend for themselves! Operator, what are you doing? Turn the rudder quickly———"

Simpson, who was eager to escape, kicked the staff away and rushed down the command seat cursingly. He pulled away the confused and at a loss and turned the stable rudder to the left. Because the speed was too fast, the huge ship was slightly tilted.

"Please, you cannot do this. My brother is still on the landing craft---"

The staff officer rolled up and rushed up, hugging his thighs tightly and begging hard.

"You, get out of here———"

In anger, Simpson suddenly pulled out his gun from his waist and pointed at the other party's forehead and pulled the trigger several times. Amid the crisp sound of gunfire, the blood-covered staff member suddenly fell backwards as if he was shocked. He opened his two eyes full of despair and slowly collapsed to the ground.

In the distance, several high-energy burst warheads accurately hit the transport ship that was recovering the landing craft. With the huge roar, the heavy ship broke from the middle. The human body thrown high by the air waves and the broken armor were mixed together and slowly scattered in all directions.

"Go away! These pirates don't even let go of transport ships. If you stay still, they will kill us together————”

Simpson was so anxious that he was about to go crazy. But no matter how he was panicked, it was useless. The operation of the warship took time, even if it was just a simple slewing action. It could only be carried out under the coordination of multiple departments such as the power supply room and the mechanical compartment.

After all the efforts of the damaged flagship, the damaged flagship finally completed its turn with difficulty. Just as the tail engine gradually ejected a blazing red flame and burst out with powerful driving force, a new team of warships appeared on the warning screen of the remote monitor. They were like a team of ghosts hidden in the dark, blocking the survivors who were looking forward to escape.

"At the twelve o'clock direction, we found another unknown fleet. It seems that we are indeed surrounded..."

Compared to before, the monitor's voice was much hoarse. Maybe he felt that there was no hope of escape! He was always rigorous and added his own insights at the end of his words.

Everyone was staring at the electronic screen blankly, and three eye-catching red light streams were slowly approaching the hovering fleet.

In three directions, more than 15,000 warships.

Simpson's mouth was wide open, and his forehead was still covered with gauze, looking at everything that was happening in front of him in disbelief.

Obviously, I fell into a trap of shocking design.

What a hell pirate trading planet!

What a lady who was tricked into selling to a slave?

All of them are deliberately made bait. There is only one purpose - to let your rescue fleet take the initiative to run into other people's ambush circles.

"If I guess correctly, there must be a fourth fleet."

Looking at another explosive warship outside the porthole, Simpson, who was muttering, suddenly hugged his head with both hands and laughed wildly.

"General...what should we do now?" asked a staff officer with a shocked face carefully.

"Hahahaha! What to do? What else can I do? Do you think we still have a way out? This is a trap specifically for us, a terrible trap, do you understand————”

Simpson finally stopped his violent breathing, pointed his trembling finger at the monitoring screen, and said in fear: "This is definitely not an ordinary encirclement tactic. Just behind us, there must be a last fleet. Their purpose is very obvious. It is to destroy us all in one breath."

As expected, a few minutes later, a dense red light spot appeared again at six o'clock in the monitoring screen. This also made people who did not believe in Simpson's predictions desperately dispel the last trace of luck in their minds.

This is a warship that people have never seen before.

The whole body is black, and they do not have the flat round hull commonly used by warships, but have a completely square appearance. Although the detector did not capture the configuration on the weapon platform, there is a striking white skull pattern at both ends of the high head of the ship.

There is no doubt that this must be the Pirates Fleet.

Twenty thousand warships encircled the entire space into a solid iron barrel. No matter which direction it broke through, it would be attacked by a group of ships arranged in a horizontal array. Under the dense artillery fire, the joint fleet was completely defeated. Although the operators of each ship tried their best to escape, they could only get a result of being knocked out on the spot.

"This, what kind of warship is this? How could it have such fierce firepower?" A shocked staff officer couldn't help but turn around and check it on the computer.

"Don't work hard." Another person next to him shook his head helplessly: "At the beginning, I tried to enter relevant detection data. The results showed that no warship among the three clans' armed forces matched it. This seemed to be a brand new type of ship. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that there would be such a thing in the universe."

"New ship type? How is this possible?" The staff officer shook his head in disbelief: "They are pirates who make a living by robbery! Can they have their own research institutions and docks to build ships?"

"Go and ask God! Don't forget, this is the red zone... Everything is possible."

Unfounded speculations can never reverse the defeated battle situation. When black warships swarmed from all directions and surrounded the remaining joint forces, people's inner fear also reached its peak.

A few seconds later, the position was arranged at the outermost perimeter, and the engine on the left was completely blown away, a series of "x" signs were cast in the public communication channel.

This is a recognized signal of decline among the two major forces.

At the same time, the exhausted figure of the captain of the ship appeared on the flagship screen where Simpson was located.

"General, our ship was hit by two neutron torpedoes. Sixty percent of its power has been lost, the weapon system has been severely damaged, and the energy supply has been completely cut off. Fifty-four combatants in the ship are injured and killed. Now I request to surrender to the enemy, and I hope to approve it."

"Don't surrender, rush over to me with all your might. Even if you die, you will die like a soldier————"

Simpson clenched his fists and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"We have no motivation and no weapons. What should we do to rush?"

The captain on the screen said sadly: "Sorry, I must refuse to obey this order. It is shameful for a soldier to surrender. But to meet my six-year-old son alive... I have to do this."

After saying that, he saluted solemnly and immediately interrupted the communication.

There are more and more warships seeking to surrender. No matter which channel you open, you can see a white "x" in sight.

The pirate fleet's shelling targets were very clear. They sank all the main battleships in the encirclement. The remaining light ships and transport ships could not play any threatening role at all. In front of battleships with heavy armor, the joint army, which only carried small and medium-caliber artillery and lacked counterattack methods, could only choose to surrender.

Simpson sat in a daze on the chair, and his handsome face that could attract the attention of many women had long turned into a decadent and rustic decay.

It's over!

Everything is over!

In the history of the Earth Federation, there has never been a general captured by pirates. He has set an unprecedented record.

Even if you have the opportunity to return to the Capital Star, you will never have any future. Maybe the military headquarters that pursues responsibility will take their own life.

Thinking of this, Simpson felt a chill of fear.

I am only twenty-eight years old, I am still young. I haven't lived enough... I, I, I don't want to die yet, I don't want to die----

Thinking of this, Simpson raised his head suddenly and said to the people next to him in a trembling voice: "Send, send an x ​​signal. We...we surrender."

It is not uncommon in the history of cosmic warfare that a fleet that has lost its combat capabilities has taken the initiative to surrender. However, as for Simpson, this shameful encounter is definitely the first time in his life.

The black warships enveloped the entire airspace. The white skull patterns on the bows of the ship made people feel uneasy and uneasy. The pirate fleet stayed in four directions was like four thick walls. The people surrounded by them were like tadpoles stranded in the mud. Although they struggled desperately to find a way out, they could only waste their energy.
To be continued...
