Chapter 291 Positional War: The terrible sense of oppression of the combined fleet
“This…” Benny passed through the passing members of the Torch Organization with a confused expression, and finally found Cornett standing on the deck, not knowing why: “ What's going on? Why are you all packing up?" "They are leaving," Cornette said calmly.
"Leave?" Benny was stunned and asked in a low voice: "Qinglong, are you willing to let them leave?"
"Qinglong and I have reached an agreement."
"Agreement?" Benny suddenly had a bad premonition, his heart jumped suddenly, and he asked cautiously: "What agreement?"
Cornett turned his head and stared at him calmly: " I gave the coordinates to Qinglong and asked him to let the others go, and all the grudges were wiped out. "What!" Benny screamed, his expression became very exciting, and he pointed at Konite tremblingly. He was speechless, but had to grit his teeth and lower his voice: "If you do this, what should I do?"
"What do you need to do? What does it have to do with me?" Cornit shook his head, "We The two are no longer allies.”
Benny was so angry that he even wanted to tear Cornette alive.
But considering the difference in strength between the two, he had to restrain himself, his whole body was trembling and angry.
Cornett did this and completely put him aside.
Now he is left alone to carry out the so-called "dealing" with Qinglong. Just thinking about it gives him a suffocating sense of oppression.
"You let me fight Qinglong alone!?"
"You can also choose to do what I did." Cornit was very indifferent, "I found that Qinglong is actually very easy to talk to. ”
"Huh?" Benny laughed angrily: "Are you speaking for him again now? Isn't it time for you to grit your teeth and kill him?"
"Are you worthy of Fernand? Are you worthy of Ke?" Weiss?”
“There are no eternal enemies.” Cornette smiled lightly, “Only if the Torch Organization continues to exist can it be possible to avenge Fernand. He will be happy to see this. As for Ke Nit, Wes, he is me, I am him."
"You...you..." Of course, Benny was not fighting for those two people, just to stimulate Cornit, but seeing that the other party had completed the logic of self-consistency. and self-soothing.
He was so angry that he couldn't say a word, and could only squeeze out two words from his throat: "Coward!"
Cornette laughed it off and figured everything out a long time ago.
He can do this, but Benny cannot. Their goals are completely inconsistent.
Benny could only curse and leave.
Theo and others were a little surprised when they saw this scene. After asking about it, Ulrich praised: "Very decisive, worthy of being the leader of the Torch Organization."
"Qinglong actually Don't choose to kill him," Sandro muttered.
Ulrich shook his head: "If Qinglong had chosen to kill him, we wouldn't be alive until now."
Sandro looked calm and stopped talking.
After waiting for most of a day, the non-essential personnel of the Torch Organization packed up and left on other frigates.
The Torch Organization's fleet has limited combat capabilities, and it is useless to follow them.
The Coyle was alone, heading towards the set coordinates. The main ship without the frigate was equivalent to a large target.
But Li Ming didn't want to rely on this main ship to fight, it was just used as a navigation tool.
They have goals, but others don’t.
I don’t know how many people were secretly watching the combined fleet. Their sudden disappearance caused a great shock.
Within the Black Hole Network area, discussions have been in full swing for a long time. More than a dozen large-scale armed forces are all paralyzed, and various speculations are flying everywhere.
Within two days, there were already rumors that Asmara had opened the core ruins and taken away everything inside.
Especially the Adjudicator Fleet of the Inquisitor Civilization, which is almost going crazy. It has been preparing for such a long time.
It was thrown away by the United Fleet from the beginning. If it really can’t be found, wouldn’t it be a joke? .
“One hundred million is not enough, then five hundred million. If five hundred million is not enough, then one billion!”
“I don’t believe it, she can really do it under everyone’s eyes, Disappeared without a trace!”
In the dead starry sky, the pale golden fleet was arranged neatly. In the command room of the Arbitrator fleet, the man had gray hair and only a golden vertical pupil on his face, wearing a standard combat uniform. The clothes are covered with emblems.
The roar of Admiral Antonio, the commander-in-chief of the Arbiter, resounded throughout the command room.
Three days later, the Coyle had officially broken through the periphery of the Red River Star Stream and entered the core area.
The periphery is an area similar to the Land of Stars, while the core area has been flooded by various violent void turbulences in the past, making it impossible to jump and navigate normally.
If you don’t jump and sail, it will be slower than a snail crawling on a cosmic scale.
But during the tide, it is much normal. You can enter the jump mode. Just be careful about the gravitational tide and the various wreckage and ruins from time to time.
"It looks no different from the outside world..." Li Ming stood on the deck, and the main ship was making temporary adjustments.
The stars are twinkling, and what is worth paying attention to may be that there are many meteors rays. Those are not actually meteors, but the condensation of various wreckage and ruins.
The Red River Star Stream looks like a streamer from the outside, but when it gets closer to the core area, it turns into a thin line of red traces.
"Has anyone been close?" Li Ming looked at the red trace that was almost like a gap.
It looks like a gap at this position, and it may be unusually large when you get closer.
"According to records, there is no such thing. Many people have tried, but none of them have come back." An Ye beside him shook his head and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Li Ming nodded suddenly. The main ship's technical adjustments were quickly completed and it quickly moved towards the target position. The deeper it went, the worse the space environment became.
The strange gravity and material jets have caused deadly undercurrents of stars everywhere in the area. If you are not careful, it may cause the ship to be destroyed and people to die.
Five days later, the main ship suddenly withdrew from the jump channel, and everyone gathered in the command room.
"There are still two days of sailing and we will arrive at the set coordinates. Out of caution, we'd better not get too close." Ulrich acted as a think tank. "First send out a few reconnaissance ships and use Let’s go take a look with the probe.”
"Okay." Li Ming nodded. It was naturally impossible for their main ship to compete with the combined fleet, so it was better to be careful.
The main ship is dormant in a "star stream light belt", which is an irregular streamer appearing nearby due to the tide of the Red River Star Stream.
Not only is this thing unable to detect any energy response on its own, but anything that enters it will also disappear without a trace.
Several miniature reconnaissance spacecraft flew out from the ship hangar and disappeared quickly.
After waiting for another two days, a large-scale combined fleet appeared on the big screen in the command room, forming a square array around the strange "Star-Ringing Crown Guard".
This is a fleet scene simulated intelligently using optical eyepieces and various data using reconnaissance ships and probes. Some places are very blurry, and they dare not conduct conventional detection at all.
"United Fleet..." Li Ming's eyes flickered. This was a huge fleet that gathered most of the elite fleets of civilizations in the Silver Star Cluster.
Hundreds of main ships of different shapes are on standby, and a large escort formation is displayed all around, obviously on alert. Even through the screen, I can feel a breathless oppression.
Which one is stronger, individual power or group combat capability?
This is one of the topics that has been discussed in interstellar society for countless years, but as an A-level life form, I am afraid that it is not even qualified to be included in the core discussion.
To deal with ordinary A-class life forms, a fleet with a full fleet of main ships can basically defeat them as long as the commander does not use his brain.
But what Li Ming is thinking about now is the thick main ship energy cannons. In total, there may be hundreds of them.
So big, so many, I want them so much.
“The central part.” Benny suddenly said, asking the staff to continuously zoom in on the central area of the combined fleet.
Since the observation is purely using optical eyepieces, when the magnification is reached to the extreme, it is extremely blurry, but the special scene that is constantly flashing can still be seen clearly.
Like a bright blue rhombus.
“The core ruins use space interlayer and information state sealing technology. If you want to enter it, you must first make it appear in the main universe.” Benny explained, “Looking at this situation, I’m afraid it will take some time.”< br>
"Is it going to turn into a positional battle?" Li Ming couldn't help but mutter.
As a result, anyone who wants to enter the core ruins must cross the line of defense of Asmara.
"We're not going to force our way in, are we?" Sandro said cautiously.
Li Ming's eyes were incomprehensible, and he suddenly asked: "Do you know where the fleet of the Judge Civilization is?"
"The news from a day ago is that we are still looking for traces of the combined combat fleet." Someone responded.
"I remember that they seemed to have offered a reward of 500 million star coins to find traces of the combined fleet." Li Ming pondered: "If you don't take it, you will get nothing."
"Huh?" There was silence in the command room.
"You want to give them the coordinates?" Sandro was confused.
“Let’s test the waters with the Judge first.” Li Ming’s eyes flashed.
He estimated that even if he didn't give the coordinates, someone would. It was better to take the reward himself.
…………
Four days later, Li Ming, who was developing gene seeds, came out of the room. Ulrich was already waiting at the door and said quickly:
"Half a day ago, the first batch of Adjudicator fleets had jumped to the vicinity of the coordinate point and seemed to have negotiated with the Combined Fleet."
"We have no way of knowing the specific conversation, but the Combined Fleet entered a combat state, and The Adjudicator fleet is arriving one after another, and it seems that it is about to break out."
Ulrich explained the current situation to him, and walked to the command room.
Everyone stood up one after another, and Li Ming walked straight to the big screen.
In the background of the red starry sky, nearly a hundred huge Judge main ships have gathered, as well as the large escort fleets brought by these main ships.
According to the information obtained by the Torch Organization, those light golden battleships that are almost as huge as the Conil are the "Judge Main Ships" of the Inquisitor civilization, and they look like a three-pronged blade.
The fleet composed of hundreds of main ships is the famous "Judge Fleet" of the Judge Civilization.
But when the last fleet of Judges slowly emerged.
In an instant, a dazzling torrent of energy suddenly shot out from the nearby star streamer.
It seems to be several times brighter than the nearby bright clouds, as if it is dimming the red river star stream.
"Ambush!" Everyone's breathing was stagnant, and they looked at the star streamers that were torn apart by the energy torrent, and a large number of fleets in array were hidden in them.
The energy torrent is fired from the main gun of the bomber ship. It is a warship specially used for firepower. The main gun level is not even weaker than that of a conventional main ship.
In other words, if any one of them is thrown into this energy torrent, the only outcome is to be turned into ashes.
Then, the ejection bays of these heavy bombers opened, and missiles surrounded by purple light slowly ejected out, with blazing fireworks sprayed from their tails, and their speed began to increase geometrically.
"Entity missile." Li Ming was quite surprised. He had never been exposed to interstellar wars in a real sense. In the past, the melee of a few or even hundreds of warships was not a big war at all.
Energy-based weapons are highly developed and possess various superior characteristics.
Most of the physical missiles have been abandoned, and the cost of manufacturing them is really terrifying. Unlike energy weapons, as long as they are well built, they will be able to serve for decades.
But physical missiles that can still appear in interstellar warfare must have extremely terrifying lethality.
The giant missile launched by the heavy bomber was locked, and the streams of light arrived first.
If it cannot hit the target, it may be detonated in advance. This is a shortcoming of the physical missile.
The regular army of Judges is not bragging and will fight back quickly.
But when the energy attack hit, a purple shield rose up on the surface of the physical missile to block it.
The first wave of energy bombarded the joint shield, and a considerable part was blocked.
But a main gun-level salvo has caused this seemingly thick shield to flicker violently.
And the physical missile that hit almost at the same time exploded, bright explosions of light kept emerging, and the violent energy reaction was frightening.
The strength of the area dropped sharply, or even torn apart, and a defensive vacuum zone appeared.
When the vacuum zone appeared, the warships originally protected by the joint shield had to be exposed to the subsequent energy torrent.
The other half of the heavy bombers followed closely and launched the second batch of ammunition.
This time it seemed that it was not an ordinary missile. It did not explode, but released a violent shock wave.
And the last batch of adjudicators who were about to complete their physicalization began to twist, deform, tear and collapse under the chaotic gravitational waves.
The last fragments of these battleships were thrown into the center of the Arbitrator fleet, followed by a series of large explosions.
“The gravitational wave interference bomb will deal a devastating blow to the target during the jump.” Ulrich whispered, his eyes frightened.
On the top floor of the Ring Guards, Asmara was wearing a combat uniform, with a cold expression and eyes full of murderous intent, overlooking the bright stars: "The third round of attacks, begin!"
More artillery fire and more physical warheads began to pour out, bombarding the judges who had just reacted.
Being ambushed, the Adjudicator fleet lost the opportunity and could only fight and retreat, leaving behind a piece of wreckage and severed limbs.
In the command room of the Coyle, everyone who witnessed the ambush was silent.
