Chapter 419: Kill the chicken to scare the monkey
The Star Alliance acted quickly. Before the next day, they sent the captured Batarians back to the fleet, and at the same time informed the Batarians through them a piece of news——Considering that the Batarians The Star Alliance has also retaliated against the Batarians for their war actions against humans.
To put it simply, your hometown has been bombed by us, and all of you are useless.
In fact, after Duanmuhuai destroyed the Batarian home planet, the Batarian people have been in a state of shock and confusion. They don't even know what happened, and they don't know why their home planet It will explode directly on the spot within a day.
It wasn't until those Batarians came back and heard the Star Alliance message they conveyed that the Batarians suddenly realized that they were naturally very angry and sent representatives directly to the Citadel Council to complain.
After hearing the complaints from the Batarians, the Citadel Council was also shocked. They did not expect the Star Alliance to be so brave. The Batarians attacked one of their colonial planets, and the Star Alliance actually turned around and killed the Batarians. Man's home planet was blown up?
You must know that although the cosmic races in the cosmic era do not lack colonial planets, the home planet is of extraordinary significance and importance to any cosmic civilization. The Star Alliance's move to destroy the Batarian home planet directly put both parties at risk. The relationship was pushed to the edge of immortality.
Either you die or I die!
So Ambassador Batari also shouted injustice in the Citadel and asked the Citadel Council to come forward and lead all the racial forces in the Citadel to eliminate the Star Alliance and completely kill all these humans!
Then, faced with Ambassador Batari's suggestion, the Citadel Council, as expected... became intimidated.
Even the Turian fleet that originally confronted the Star Alliance at the border all returned to defense and surrounded their hometown layer upon layer. After all, they had also attacked Star Alliance colonies. Maybe after the Star Alliance takes care of the Batarians, they will be next!
The Batarians are crazy with their popularity, but other civilized races are not crazy. After learning the truth of the matter, their first reaction was disbelief, and their second reaction was... How did the Star Alliance do it?
Destroying a planet sounds unbelievable to the Citadel Council, but in fact, as long as there is enough technology, it is not difficult in theory. Therefore, from a scientific and technological perspective, it is possible for the Star Alliance to destroy the Batarian planet. After all, humans are also a civilization that has set foot in the universe, and all cosmic civilizations are a bit understated, so This does not make the Citadel Council feel strange.
However, what scares them is...how did the Star Alliance do it?
The Batarian home planet is located at the core of the Batarian forces. Generally speaking, if the human fleet launches a large-scale attack, it is impossible not to arouse the vigilance of the Batarian people.
However, the fact is that the Star Alliance quietly appeared in front of the Batarian home planet, blew it up, and then slipped away silently.
This is very scary.
In other words, if it can blow up the Batarian home planet today, it might appear outside the Turian, Salarian, or Alyssa home planet tomorrow!
Even the originally menacing Turian fleet quietly withdrew the patrol fleet swaying at the Star Alliance border, and at the same time strengthened the defense of the home planet.
Don't be afraid.
This guy can run away, but the monk can't run away from the temple. They just burned the temple. What are you doing?
So in response to Ambassador Batari's request, the three major races in the Citadel fell silent and began to play a game of kicking the ball.
Well, this matter is indeed of great importance and very serious. We must study it carefully...
It is not necessarily confirmed that it was done by humans. It may also be some kind of natural disaster. We must talk about evidence...
We are not responsible for this matter. Please go to the registration office to fill in the form...
Regarding the Batarian ambassador's request, other races basically made various excuses. On the one hand, it was because they were really frightened by the Star Alliance's ruthless actions, and on the other hand, the Batarians had always been unwilling to do anything in the Citadel. Likeable. In fact, it's not even a day or two since the Batarians entrusted criminals to cause destruction in other civilized territories. Even if other civilizations suffered losses, they would still be very angry with them if they couldn't grasp the Batarians.
At this moment, hearing that the Batarian home planet was directly bombed by the Star Alliance, many civilized races wanted to open champagne to celebrate, with a look like "You bastards will also have this day".
How could you possibly help?
Maybe in response to Ambassador Batari's request, he would leave a few crocodile tears for the other party, and start the party as soon as the ambassador left.
Unable to get assistance from the Citadel Council, the Batarians gave up. Then they announced the withdrawal of their embassy in the Citadel, then reorganized their troops, launched a full-scale attack, and launched a war against the Star Alliance!
As for the Star Alliance, the news has naturally been released to the public. Although most of the Star Alliance people still can't tell the difference between Batarians or Turians, they also know that their colonial planets are affected by these. Aliens attacked several times. Now that the Star Alliance has killed the opponent's home planet in order to take revenge, most people naturally applaud loudly. Of course, some people are worried that this will lead to a crazy counterattack by the opponent.
After all, it is one thing to attack a colonial planet, but it is another thing to attack the other party's home planet. Just like if the Star Alliance home planet was destroyed by aliens, humans would take revenge on them with red eyes.
Even in society, many people have expressed opinions that the Batarian home planet may have been destroyed by some kind of natural disaster or accident. Their reason is that the Star Alliance simply does not have the power to destroy a planet instantly. , this may be a deliberate statement made by the new regime of the Star Alliance in order to consolidate their status and prestige among the people... I have to say that this is quite marketable.
Li Longcheng was not surprised by this. Although he used thunderous tactics to eliminate most of the members of the Peace Party after he came to power, there were still some who slipped through the net.
However, he doesn't need to care about these idiots at all, because the facts will prove everything next.
While the Batarians were launching a massive attack, the Star Alliance was also preparing for war.
For the Star Alliance, this battle must be fought, and this battle... will also completely determine mankind's status among the racial civilizations of the universe!
So, in October of Star Alliance 2151, in the border system Bros, the war between the Star Alliance fleet and the Batarian fleet officially began.
This time the Batarian army was approaching with great force. Not only did they dispatch the main fleet, they even incorporated all the warships of pirates and slave traders that they had funded into it, forming a huge fleet. The Batarian army led this fleet. Commander Tarui even uttered wild words, claiming that they would fight all the way into the Star Alliance from here, completely destroy the Star Alliance's home planet, and leave these humans without a place to die!
However, compared to the ferocious momentum of the Batarian army, the Star Alliance responsible for facing them did not seem to take it to heart. In addition to the Seventh Fleet responsible for defending this galaxy, only the First Fleet and the Third Fleet joined. fighting.
The total number of Batarian fleets is around three thousand, and the three Star Alliance fleets combined are only one thousand. The other fleets are still stationed in the original star field, giving people the feeling that they have no intention of fighting with the Batarians at all. As if fighting to the death.
In fact, within the Starfleet Fleet, there are also the same questions.
"Kislev, what are you thinking above? It is very difficult to withstand the Batarian revenge army with just these fleets."
Staring at the dense dots of light on the screen, Third Fleet Commander Baroque looked solemn. At first, they thought that the Star Alliance wanted to fight the decisive battle of the century with the Batarians. To be honest, as soldiers, they were not opposed to the war, but in the view of the fleet commander, a decisive battle with the Batarians was simply too much. It's extremely ridiculous. The other party is eager for revenge and fierce. He looks like he will bite off a piece of your flesh even if you die.
Facing such an enemy, let alone losing, even if they win, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. How will the Star Alliance face other enemies then?
In fact, there are many worries like this within the Star Alliance military, but military orders cannot be violated...
"Please don't worry about this, Admiral Baroque, and Admiral Sly."
Kislev seemed quite calm.
"In fact, the Star Alliance has already prepared a response plan. I assure you that when the war begins, you only need to aim at the target and fire."
"...Okay, I hope it's as simple as you said."
Although the other two commanders were also full of doubts, Kislev was highly respected within the Star Alliance Navy and had outstanding military exploits. Since he said so, others could only believe it.
At the same time, the Batarian fleet rushed towards this side like a group of furious lions.
In fact, when the Batarian commander learned that there were only a thousand battleships in front of him, endless anger surged in his heart.
"This group of damn humans destroyed our home planet and still don't take us seriously. In this case, we will completely destroy this fleet and let them taste the power of us Batarians!!"
Following the commander's order, the Batarian fleet moved forward like a pack of wolves. At the front was the fleet of bandits and human traffickers who had been bribed by Batarian, and behind were the regular Batarian troops— ——If it is not on the space battlefield, but on the ground, then this is like a medieval army using mercenaries and slaves as cannon fodder to consume the opponent's vitality, and then attack to annihilate the enemy. Facing the fierce attack of the Batarian fleet, the Starfleet fleet began to retreat in accordance with Kislev's orders as soon as it contacted the enemy. While they launched attacks against the Batarian army to impede the opponent's progress, they quickly Back away.
Faced with the uncharacteristic behavior of the Star Alliance troops, the Batarians did not take it seriously.
Maybe this is a trap, but so what? Since these humans want to be clever, let them see that any cleverness is useless in the face of absolute power!
"Is this really okay?"
At the same time, Admiral Sly, the commander of the Seventh Fleet, also muttered to himself, staring at the battlefield in front of him, and whispered.
He was certain that Baroque had the same doubts as himself. Generally speaking, this method of luring the enemy deep is based on the presence of surprise troops. But right now, each fleet is in its own defense area, and only the First and Third Fleets are here. Even if this is just a confusion trick, with the speed of the Star Alliance battleships, it is impossible to rush to the battlefield in a short time.
And if it takes too long, it will be self-defeating... After all, they only have a thousand battleships, and there is no way they can block the three thousand battleships on the opposite side.
But the order given to them by Kislev was more than simple. They followed the plan to resist the predetermined location and then lock the target and launch the attack.
This shows that he is very sure that the opponent will create some kind of chaos, which will prevent them from successfully launching an attack...
So, what exactly is the problem?
Thinking of this, Admiral Sly looked at the map in front of him again.
The retreat point is getting closer and closer.
"Go on! Go on! Kill these bastards completely!!"
At this moment, the Batarian commander's eyes were red, and he was waving his arms angrily. The opponent's passive fighting method of swimming around without attacking made the Batarian commander extremely angry. It felt like it was tracking the opponent's prey, but the prey was so slippery that it couldn't be caught. He doesn't care no matter how many slave traders and interstellar pirates die in front of him, as long as he can destroy this human fleet and completely defeat and destroy it...!
However, just as Commander Batari roared loudly, suddenly, a heavy black shadow appeared, blocking the light in the command room. Commander Batari subconsciously turned his head and looked to the side, and then he was surprised to find that there was a magnificent and weird-shaped warship beside his flagship.
At this moment, their black muzzles were aimed at Batari's flagship.
“This is………………”
Before Commander Batari could react to what was happening, a flash of light erupted from the dark muzzle.
The roaring macro cannons and light spears burst out in all directions in an instant. In the blink of an eye, all the Batarian warships around the battleship were torn into pieces by the brilliance of the powerful macro cannons and light spears. At the same time, the same warships appeared out of thin air like ghosts. They penetrated into the interior of Batari's three thousand warships, and then began to ruthlessly destroy the artillery fire.
"Reporting to you, sir, we have successfully arrived at the combat location~~~"
"Very good."
After hearing Mia's report, Duanmuhuai nodded.
"All guns open, attack freely."
"Understood~~~"
In fact, what Duanmu Huai used was a tactic commonly used by the Eldar - to appear quietly with the help of the webway, and then kill him with one blow.
It's just that because the Eldar warships are fragile, they can run away after a fight, and it is even less likely that they will be surrounded by numerous fleets. But Duanmuhuai's Inquisition fleet is all stupid, big and dark, and no one is afraid of them when the void shield is opened.
Not to mention, the fleet here is incomparable to the fleet of the Tribunal.
In this universe, the most powerful battleships of each civilization are dreadnoughts, which are only 1,000 meters long at most. However, the Inquisition fleet in Duanmu Huai's hands, the Emperor-class battleship is 12,000 meters long, and the conventional Moon-class cruiser is also 12,000 meters long. At 5,000 meters in length, the dreadnought that this star civilization is most proud of is not even as big as the Inquisition's Cobra-class destroyer - the latter is also 1,500 meters long.
The size, tonnage, and firepower are not at the same level at all. It is like a group of elephants rushing into a group of mice. Even if there are as many as three thousand mice, they are definitely no match for the elephants.
For the sake of confidentiality, Duanmuhuai did not bring the giant pink Bunny, which was transformed from the Yibo Linshi, to the battlefield. Instead, he chose a squadron, including an Emperor-class battleship and ten Moon-class cruisers. , and for Duanmu Huai, this is enough to deal with the mere three thousand battleships of Batari.
So he withdrew his gaze and gave the order coldly.
"Keep firing."
"——————!!!"
With the flash of the huge cannon on the side of the battleship erupting, with the battleship as the center, the Batarian battleships in all directions were completely blasted by the shells and beams fired from the battleship with almost no resistance. Looking from a distance, along with With every bombardment, the Batarian battleships on both sides of the battleship would shatter, explode, and then turn into a pile of garbage fragments surging outward along with the impact.
Scenes like this happened everywhere in the Batarian fleet, completely paralyzing the Batarian command system in an instant.
Soon, the Batarian fleet discovered that the situation was not good, and it was at this time that the lack and confusion of the entire command system immediately caused the Batarian fleet to become chaotic.
Some warships noticed that the rear was under attack, so they turned around and hurried to assist the rear. The Batarian warships located around the Inquisition warships were afraid of the firepower of these terrible warships and tried to escape. And their escape left the Batarian warships farther away confused, unable to figure out what was going on.
Only the cannon fodder fleet composed of slave traders and pirates at the front was not affected and continued to charge forward - but unfortunately, with their number, it was obviously impossible to cause any losses to the Star Alliance fleet.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the scene in front of them, the commanders of the two fleets were confused. They did not know the situation. They only saw that the Batarian fleet that was charging forward suddenly fell into chaos, and the fleet in front was even more confused. Detached directly from the rear, as if never looking back... What exactly is this...
But no matter what, this is indeed a good opportunity for the Starfleet Fleet!
"Although I don't know what Admiral Kislev actually did, but now it seems that it is just as he said..."
Looking at the feast in front of him, the commander's eyes also shone. There is no difficulty in such a battle at all. The chaotic fleet at the rear cannot recover for a while, and the commandos in the front are just pure targets after they are out of range protection at the rear!
That's right, just follow what Admiral Kislev said, lock the target, and then attack.
So…………
attack!
