A Desik [Little Demon] reconnaissance ship ended its jump.

This is a small ship that looks like a metal snail and is only equipped with two 600mm caliber energy cannons on both sides of its spiral body. Apart from being used for interstellar reconnaissance, it has almost no defensive capabilities and combat effectiveness.

The little demon was suspended alone in the lonely void, seeming to be observing the surroundings carefully. After a moment, two more white lights flashed through, and the other two little demon-class reconnaissance ships completed their jump and appeared on the side of the first little demon.

around.

After the three reconnaissance ships arrived, they turned on their launchers one after another, dragging blue ion light streams that looked as thin as silk from a distance, and sailed separately. One ship sailed straight towards the jump channel of the next section, and the other

The two ships drew two arcs in the air, flying towards a brown planet on the left side of the transition end channel and a vast white asteroid belt on the right side.

Everyone on the bandit warship held their breath attentive. Everyone knows that this is a routine anti-ambush investigation during the fleet jump. The three reconnaissance ships are just the first batch. After they leave, there will be a second batch.

The third batch of reconnaissance ships conducts repeated inspections. If a cautious fleet commander is encountered, this inspection will continue for five to six batches.

It will not be until the main force of the fleet enters the jump starting channel and starts the jump engine that the last batch of reconnaissance ships will leave the exploration airspace and go to the next segment.

Sure enough, after walking around for a long time and exploring the surrounding key areas where there might be ambushes, the three reconnaissance aircraft that found nothing slowly entered the jump starting channel of the second leg and began to jump to the next channel.

.

A few minutes later, the second batch of five Desik reconnaissance ships appeared at the same location as the first batch of reconnaissance ships, and began a repeated and careful second round of exploration.

The first batch, the second batch, the third batch... A total of ten batches of reconnaissance ships, almost all the places in the area where the first leg of the jump ended, were carefully searched, and there were even a few ships

The reconnaissance ship also circled to the back of the asteroid on the left and conducted a net-like investigation of the asteroid belt on the right.

As more and more reconnaissance ships appear, the atmosphere in the bandit fleet becomes more and more tense. Everyone knows that the more reconnaissance ships sent by the enemy, the more likely it is that the main force of the Desik fleet will pass through here.

.The ten batches of reconnaissance ships are a sign of caution to the point of timidity on the part of the opposing commander. They also confirm that his fleet will definitely pass through here!

The staff officers looked at each other while under intense surveillance, with uncontrollable excitement in their eyes.

No matter how cunning the prey is, it is no match for an experienced hunter.

Fatty Commander is a master of sneak attacks, ambushes, and psychological warfare! Not only did he guess the opponent's route, he even guessed the location of the opponent's reconnaissance ship!

The appearance of several batches of Desik reconnaissance ships has gradually made the staff realize the subtlety of Fatty's choice of this place as the ambush location.

Although from the geographical point of view, this is the section of the entire route where the environment is more complicated and it is easier to encounter ambushes. For such a cautious Commander Dexik, it is definitely a key search area. Especially the brown one

The back side of the asteroid and the asteroid belt on the other side of the channel are his focus.

However, precisely because of this, almost all reconnaissance ships focus their investigations on these areas.

Because they are afraid that the ambush fleet will enter the ambush site after their exploration is completed, each batch of reconnaissance ships not only spends a lot of time carefully and repeatedly searching for brown planets and asteroid belts, but they even have to jump short distances to farther wings.

position to detect the presence of an enemy fleet.

It was these suspicious locations that firmly attracted the attention of the Dexiks and occupied their time and energy! They never dreamed that there was a huge fleet diagonally above the airspace at the end of their jump!

When they complete their transition, the light of stars more than 80 million kilometers away diagonally above will shine unreservedly on their portholes.

When they raised their heads, all they could see was a void of space, with nothing but an unobstructed dazzling light.

No one will explore such an airspace. The ambush fleet may try its best to seize this direction after the battle breaks out to put itself in a favorable attack position with backlight. However, no idiot will choose this as an ambush location. The reconnaissance fleet

The scanner will quickly capture the shadow of the battleship in the light of the star, making everything invisible.

When he saw that the tenth batch of Desik reconnaissance ships spread to the airspace at the end of the jump and assumed a warning position after the search was completed, instead of entering the next flight segment, Fatty smiled grimly and picked up the communicator.

"Main gun recharge!"

The silver-gray space carrier Michael slowly approached the jump channel***.

Annis stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling porthole, staring out at the vast universe.

Beside them, thousands of Dethik warships were marching toward the jump channel at the same speed.

They are arranged one after another, spreading endlessly into the distance, like a group of whales sailing in the sea of ​​stars, silent, huge and majestic.

"The search of the Tenth Reconnaissance Brigade is completed!" The intelligence officer's report sounded in the silent flagship hall.

Annis quickly turned his head and looked at Gonzales standing on the podium.

Gonzalez, who had always looked serious, raised his head after repeatedly confirming the safety of the channel, his eyes met Anis's eager gaze, nodded slightly, and loudly ordered to the coordinator: "Every ship starts the jump engine,

Use the spindle array to enter the jump channel. The jump interval of each moving part is one minute. There is a five-minute jump preparation countdown."

"Yes! Your Excellency, Commander," the coordinator turned around and ordered loudly: "Five-minute jump countdown..."

The coordinator's roar echoed in the command hall.

"Maybe I'm too cautious," Gonzalez lit a cigar, walked to Anis's side, and looked at the starry sky and fleet outside the window side by side with him, mocking himself: "The older people get, the more timid they become.

.Made His Highness laugh."

"I understand." Anis smiled slightly: "You are right. Safety is the most important thing. As long as we can successfully reach the Longbow Galaxy jump point, we have won more than half of this battle!"

Gonzalez nodded approvingly.

The flagship is wrapped in the spindle formation of the Dethik fleet. The huge roar of the jump engine and the clearly felt vibrations are reminding people that the warship is about to enter the gravitational jump channel.

Outside the window, the tail sensors of countless battleships have been fully activated.

The thick and bright ion streamers grew longer and longer, as if the missile under the wing was about to break away from the tail flame of the launcher, giving people a sense of speed that it would be ejected in the next second.

Although the Dersik Fifth Group Fleet, judging from the designation, is just a group fleet.

However, since Gonzalez has a total of six A-class fleets under his command. Moreover, each A-class fleet still adopts a large fleet organization with more than 200 main ships, the same number of frigates and dual aircraft carriers. This means

This makes the number of ships in the fleet far exceed that of most group fleets today.

This kind of large fleet was actually phased out as early as ten years ago. The warships built in the later period had more advanced performance, stronger combat capability and survivability. Therefore, the frigates equipped beside them were basically eliminated.

The Dersik Fifth Group fleet is between the old fleet and the new fleet. Most of the active warships in the fleet are seven or eight years old. Their performance exceeds the old warships of the past, but is not as good as after the war broke out.

New warships can only continue to maintain the same number of frigates to increase combat effectiveness and survivability.

Although the huge fleet still has an overwhelming advantage in front of these small countries around Desik, in the eyes of many big countries, the combat effectiveness of this fleet can only be called medium!

When the fifth group fleet was dispatched to join the Western York-Southeast Allied Forces, the royal family did not actually consider how much benefit it could gain.

In addition to the fact that the troops are stretched thin and can only or only want to bring out a group fleet, more importantly, it is just to express an attitude.

But no one expected that now that Suss and Jiepen were trapped in the quagmire of Reske's war, and the Sheldon fleet entered the most critical period of attacking the Newton system, the Fifth Group fleet would have a chance to make a huge difference!

The [Michael] space carrier, named after the archangel, started up and accelerated suddenly, making people under the protection of the reaction force suddenly feel a kind of oppression.

The scenery outside the window has begun to distort. The stars in the distance are quickly disappearing. Aurora-like gossamers are wrapped around the bow, the hull armor, and even the floor-to-ceiling portholes in front of Anis and Gonzalez.

Above, it looks like the tentacles of a glowing jellyfish.

Even though they were used to such scenes, Annis and Gonzalez held their breath and were dazzled.

The reconnaissance ships in front are still sending back news of the safety of sections of the waterway. When this short journey is over, the Desik Empire will become a star in Western York by virtue of the performance of the Fifth Fleet. And itself,

With this great achievement, he will reach the pinnacle of power! No one can resist him anymore!

This opportunity is coming towards me very quickly as the battleship accelerates!

Time passed by minute by minute.

Half an hour later, the short jump ended with the coordination officer's command to slow down. The distorted scenery in front of him and the wandering light filaments disappeared without a trace when the battleship's jump engine stopped working. The starry sky outside the porthole window,

It was as if a broken TV screen suddenly became clear and normal.

When the brown planet on the left and the asteroid belt on the right came towards us, the bright and blazing light of the star also shone diagonally from behind, casting the shadow of the bridge and a ray of brightness on the long upper deck in front of the porthole.

of golden light.

Just when Anis and Gonzalez were dazzled by a piece of metal armor from the energy secondary battery on the front bridge of the battleship, suddenly, a huge black cloud appeared above their heads.

They watched helplessly as the reflective metal armor disappeared into the endless shadows, and watched as the warships that were originally bathed in light were shrouded in endless black.

"Enemy attack!!!" Accompanied by a shrill cry, Anis and Gonzalez turned back in shock.

In front of them, the staff officers in the command headquarters were raising their heads blankly, looking at the strange-shaped bandit warships above the transparent dome of the command hall, like black demons with teeth and claws, silently moving from

Emerging in the void.
Chapter completed!
