Chapter 74 Joining and Regret
Gu Shenzhou replied:
"Team Crimson plus Clarion of Liberty. In addition, Team Halo and Team Aquarius have also agreed to join. There are also some large and medium-sized teams that will arrive soon."
"Halo?"
Li Qing immediately pulled his face and refused:
"Forget it, we won't go."
"Uh"
Gu Shenzhou smiled bitterly and said:
"I know that you, Jialan, have conflicts with Halo, but this operation is led by us, Crimson and Free Will. Besides, do you really not want to participate in such a good opportunity? If we succeed, we will be the first team to attack the reef lair. , 12 hours of plundering, the merits are enough for all our teams to be promoted to the Legion.”
"I remember that your previous operation in Jialan was not very successful. There were still tens of millions of people left. If you can participate in this operation, it will not be a problem to easily plunder hundreds of millions of people. Not only can you be promoted to the legion, but the excess population can also You can make a lot of money.”
"How about I separate you from Halo, not on the same side, nor on the same mission?"
"Okay."
He was so straightforward that Gu Shenzhou was speechless and continued to smile:
"In that case, let's count it as your share, and I will pull you into the channel later."
"Okay."
The communication was closed and Li Qing pursed his lips.
Of course the rejection just now was just a show. How could he not be interested in such a crazy plan.
In fact, after Gu Shenzhou revealed the legacy of free will, he became very interested in this operation.
It is true that the risks are explosive, but if this operation can really succeed, the rewards will also be explosive.
Their behavior was equivalent to a successful sneak attack on Jinmen. They plundered for 12 hours. God knows how much they could plunder. It was a real opportunity to make a fortune.
Two of the three most critical points have been solved. The only problem is whether they can successfully enter the reef lair.
Team Crimson and Team Free Will are among the top five large teams in Outpost. Team Halo and Team Aquarius are also among the top ten. In addition, they are gradually recruiting some large and medium-sized teams such as Jialan. It is indeed possible to assemble a team with the potential to attack. A powerful fleet entering the Reef Hive System.
"It's crazy."
"But I'm crazy, too."
Li Qing shook his head, accepted the invitation from Gu Chenzhou, and joined a communication channel.
As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Shenzhou speaking in the channel:
"Welcome the Jialan fleet led by Li Qing, deputy leader of the Jialan team, to join our operation!"
The channel became a little quieter, and some people expressed their welcome one after another.
Then, nothing more.
No matter when, they always respect their strength. Although their current fleet is not bad, they can only be at the bottom of this team. The welcome is just polite, don't take it seriously.
Li Qing announced the incident in the Jialan team channel. Wang Yanqing and others did not object, but only reminded him to be careful of being used as cannon fodder.
Li Qing knew well that whether such a crazy action could succeed was another matter. Even if it could be attacked, a large number of teams would be consumed as cannon fodder.
This is inevitable. If a group of people is divided, how many people can share it happily? The teams that dare to participate all know it well, but who will be used as cannon fodder depends on their own abilities.
No one spoke in the joint team channel, but there were quite a few people talking in the channel in the area where the base is located, but they were not from the joint team, but from many large and medium-sized teams staying here.
Not all teams agree. After all, Gu Chenzhou's plan is too crazy, and the success rate is really not very high. Some teams that lack capital and courage will not participate.
As time passed, more teams gradually arrived. About half a day later, a huge fleet consisting of more than 60 battleships and more than 600 small and medium-sized battleships arrived. Gu Shenzhou welcomed the Halo team in the channel.
The leader of the team was Ye Xiao, an old acquaintance. Li Qing narrowed his eyes and observed carefully.
Ye Xiao has also succeeded in spiritual ascension, but it is not clear whether there is a saint who has condensed spiritual energy.
Under normal circumstances, the number of souls he robbed is not enough to condense the spiritual saint, because the gathering of the spiritual saint does not mean gathering enough souls, there are other strict conditions.
Otherwise, if a random psyker could easily gather a psionic saint by killing hundreds of millions of people, this thing wouldn't be so rare.
But in Ye Xiao's case, maybe he has a top-level spiritual treasure related to spiritual energy, and coupled with a large number of condensed souls, it is not impossible to do it.
If so.
Li Qing's eyes moved slightly. As more and more teams joined, he found that based on the current strength of the team, his probability of being used as cannon fodder increased infinitely.
"This won't work!"
Originally, I thought that everyone would rely on their own abilities and show some strength to gain attention, but now it seems that with Jialan's strength, it is easy to be given up as cannon fodder. The key few strongest teams also have the enemy Halo. With their relationship , the possibility of halo causing harm is infinitely high.
Li Qing became a little cautious.
Another half day later, the Aquarius team rushed over. Li Qing carefully observed the fleet and found that its strength was even more powerful than Halo.
Another day passed, and the last large-scale team arrived gloriously. Its strength was not much different from that of Aquarius, with a total of 62 battleships and nearly 700 small and medium-sized battleships.
"Hmm!"
Not to mention others, the five teams of Crimson plus Free Will, Halo, Aquarius, and Brilliance alone have a total of 340 battleships. The other large and small battleships add up to nearly 4,000. The overall strength is almost equivalent to one-tenth of a battleship. Brigade level fleet.
In terms of ship capacity alone, it is close to a quarter of a brigade-level fleet, but the problem is that the brigade-level fleet has several flagships. Some stronger brigades may have a Titan super flag. This kind of super battleship The power of the T-slot Doomsday main gun is astonishing. Conventional battleships have one gun per gun. Without a flagship of the same level, the player cannot defeat it even if the number of battleships is increased several times.
These five teams account for five of the top ten teams in the outpost. Together with other large and medium-sized fleets, they can always make up about 50 battleships. If there is a super strong commander in command, it is not impossible to defeat the sandstorm head-on. A regular brigade-level fleet of the Tower Civilization.
If the fleets stationed in various places of the Shata Tribe United Civilization are slower to react and support a little slower, it is really possible to attack the Reef Nest System.
So.
Li Qing thought carefully and said in the Jialan team command channel:
"I think this operation is too risky, so we won't go."
Many people in the team were stunned for a moment, and Yan Chengping immediately said:
"I have long thought it was unreliable. This action is too crazy. I don't think the success rate is high."
Wang Yanqing also said:
"The success rate is actually another matter. The main reason is that we are not strong enough, and the strength of Halo is several times that of ours. I am afraid that something will happen later.
Ding Youran didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement.
As for the rest of the team, they don't have any objections. Anyway, the core members agree, so it doesn't matter whether they have any objections.
Li Qing contacted Gu Chenzhou and said directly:
"I'm sorry, I want to quit this operation."
Gu Shenzhou unexpectedly said:
"Are you because of the halo? I will separate you so that you will not appear in the same action."
Li Qing shook his head and said:
"We, Jialan, are too weak. Since Ye Xiao betrayed and took away nearly half of the team members, the team's overall strength has now dropped to just fifty people in the outpost. If the losses in this operation are too great and the impact on the team is too great, After careful consideration, I decided not to take the risk.”
Gu Shenzhou was speechless, and Li Qing continued:
"Mingren don't tell secrets. We are actually all competitors. You are far stronger than us. If something happens when we enter the depths of the starry sky, we have no room to refuse. I am also afraid."
< br>
This was Chi Guoguo’s explanation. Gu Chenzhou opened his mouth, but finally stopped trying to persuade him and nodded:
"In that case, I won't force it, goodbye!"
After saying that, Li Qing received the news that he had been removed from the team.
Smiling, he posted the message in the team channel.
"Next, we only have to play by ourselves. Brothers, get ready and let's go out for a walk."
"Good!"
Although he is quite curious about the actions of Gu Shenzhou and the others, if he were alone, he would go there even if he was being used as cannon fodder, but now that he is the leader of the team, he has to consider the overall situation when doing anything, and he cannot just be curious on his own. Take your men on an adventure.
If you want to be a leader, you have to act like a leader.
Although he was confident that nothing big would happen if the waves flew up, he thought about it carefully and it was better to play it safe.
"I have updated the star map in the past two days. There is an enemy mining base 5 hops north from here. There is a garrison three times the size of ours. You can go there and take a look."
That afternoon, the fleet left the secret base and sailed into the starry sky.
As soon as they left, Ye Xiao received the news of their departure. The two brothers Lu Qing and Lu Yi asked in the private chat channel:
"Shall we follow?"
Ye Xiao thought about it for a moment, shook his head and said:
"We are about to leave here, there is not enough time."
"That's good luck to them."
Although the distance is only five hops, there are many interception systems inside the galaxy that cannot directly pass through the galaxy at sub-light speed because they cannot jump. They can only travel at sub-light speed outside the galaxy's gravity well.
But there are also interception systems in the Kuiper Belt outside the gravity well, but they are not as dense as in the galaxy. The key is that the interception systems here have no defenders and will at best be stopped.
Every time it was stopped by an intercepting fleet, it had to readjust its angle and fly again.
Although they were only five galaxies apart, it took them more than half a month of non-stop walking to reach the target galaxy.
"This is the galaxy."
Li Qing didn't have any special arrangements, so he just waved his hand:
"Hit him head-on."
Many player groups have passed by before and have a rough idea of the defenders here.
It is difficult for other teams that are not very large to capture this mining base without much damage, but for Jialan, who has the Servant of Light as his commander, this is not a threat.
The fleet directly passed through the inside of the galaxy's gravity well at sub-light speed, and was blocked by the interception system at intervals to escape from sub-light speed. Then the interception system was destroyed with a few shots, and after a short preparation, it continued to turn on the hyperspace engine to enter sub-light speed.
It's still the same kind of stop and go, which is very annoying.
It was only one galaxy, and it took them almost five days to cross a distance of less than forty astronomical units and reach the mining base in the asteroid belt in the outer circle of the galaxy.
It was a mining base built on an asteroid with a diameter of more than 400 kilometers within the asteroid belt. Countless mining ships and mining stations were distributed over hundreds of millions of kilometers around the base. Densely packed transport ships were operating in the dense asteroid belt. In and out.
They fought with violence all the way. The mining base had already received the news, and a fleet nearly three times their size was waiting in front of the base.
Li Qing turned to look at Servant of Light Li Yuan and said:
"Use kiting tactics to minimize your own losses."
Li Yuan nodded:
"Your will is my will."
He took over the command without hesitation and started giving orders.
This is what Li Qingxin discovered. If he does not have instructions, the default tactic of Servant of Light Li Yuan is to fight head-on.
If you have the advantage, this is no problem, but if the enemy is strong enough, you will suffer a lot from beating yourself like this.
No matter how powerful the Servant of Light's talent is, facing an enemy several times his own in a head-on battle will inevitably result in considerable losses. Although the loss is really small compared to the results of the battle, it is all in vain.
If he has clear instructions, Li Yuan will give priority to his instructions.
For example, his current instruction is to use kiting tactics to minimize his losses.
Originally, he would not hesitate to use small boats as cannon fodder to resist enemy fire and try to ensure the survival of larger ships.
Now he will use the big ship to withstand the firepower that can destroy the small boat on the spot. If the small boat is damaged, he will pull it back for repairs, instead of not hesitating to pull forward and block another shot like before.
It may not be as efficient as frontal tactics in killing enemies, but it can maximize the survival rate of your own boat.
It is worth mentioning that Li Yuan is not rigid in the execution of tactics. If the loss of one battleship can lead to the survival of more battleships, he will still not hesitate to drag it to death.
At the beginning of the battle, the entire fleet was in position under Li Qing's precise command of every frigate, and then used the advantage of a range that was far more than twice the opponent's to focus fire on the opponent's main ship remotely. When the enemy ship started to close the distance, , all battleship captains will immediately receive movement distance instructions accurate to meters.
Hundreds of warships were under his command, moving forward and retreating freely like arms and fingers. Li Qing lay on the command chair with his hands behind his head, feeling like he was watching an art piece.
He lay down completely relieved. The Servant of Light's command ability was stronger than he imagined, and he didn't need to worry about anything at all.
To be honest, the reason why I quit the Crimson team before was not because of the halo. With the ability of Servant of Light Li Yuan, I can run away even if I can't fight. The key is that the effect of their two relics is too powerful. If If they were silenced at the last moment, they would be beaten passively.
Moreover, the function of this relic is just what Gu Shenzhou said. God knows if it will have other functions.
Normal people would not reveal all their trump cards. It is not surprising that such a powerful legacy has one or two more abilities.
The fleet channel was quite quiet. Everyone was listening to Li Yuan's instructions attentively. His super command ability had already conquered them and convinced them.
Although the Shata Civilization Fleet stationed at this mining base was three times larger than them, it was completely unable to fight back in a frontal battle. It took almost half an hour after the battle started, but it didn't fire a single shot, and it was always suppressed by the range.
Servant of Light Li Yuan's innate talent +50% range, psychic entity (sublimation of light) +30% range, and level 20 naval command +60% range, a total of 140% additional range.
The aura of the innate talent can suppress the opponent's shooting range by 10%, and the aura of the psychic entity can suppress the shooting range by 20%. What is the concept of a combined 140% range bonus and 30% range suppression?
The range cannot be compared, the speed cannot be compared, the attack power cannot be compared, and even the command ability has been completely suppressed.
In less than an hour, the Shata civilization defenders, who had been passively beaten, retreated to the base in dejection, trying to defend the base. (End of chapter)
