Chapter 384 Where is my large unmanned fleet?
“Move! Why don’t you move!”
On the bridge of the Thirteenth Fleet’s flagship, the Destiny, Guterres looked at the unmoved figure in the distance after leaving the jump. The fleet roared angrily.
After confirming that the arriving fleet was an autonomous unmanned fleet of the Federal Navy, Guterres suddenly felt a sense of joy after suffering.
What if the opponent has a giant ship with terrifying combat power? Our side now has the support of three more fleets, which can be said to be the real ‘advantage is mine’.
But soon, Guterres stopped laughing.
Because he found that these three unmanned fleets had maintained a certain state of 'standby' after leaving the jump. They neither launched an attack nor evacuated, but quietly watched in the space where they were located.
At the same time, all the ships in the fleet were unable to establish contact with these three unmanned fleets. At first, Guterres thought that the Atlas fleet had launched electronic warfare, so he was unable to establish contact with them. Get in touch with the augmented drone fleet.
But after the fleet sent out a light signal but still received no response, Guterres suddenly felt cold.
Because although the unmanned fleet has extremely high autonomous combat capabilities, it is still used to assist the main fleet in the federal navy's battle sequence.
Except for a few high-risk combat missions where the unmanned fleets will be deployed on their own, in other cases the unmanned fleets will cooperate with other friendly fleets in the system and will also accept the command of the friendly fleet commanders.
So the delay in the response of these three unmanned fleets is obviously extremely abnormal.
“This Laoshizi unmanned fleet, won’t it cause me problems at this time?!”
At this time, Atlas’s main fleet and the small formation led by Infinity , has launched a pincer offensive against the remaining forces of the Thirteenth Fleet.
The Infinity, which was leading the way, with its 'perfect appearance' just now and its huge size, unsurprisingly became the target of the Federation fleet's fire.
But the battleship designers of Atlas Ship have long considered this. The "10 auxiliary, 1 deputy, 1 main" fusion furnace energy group configuration has brought the Infinity's deflection field power to an extremely terrifying level.
After setting up the deflection field, it can be said that it is maneuvering against the opponent's concentrated fire. Although the deflection field has been maintained, the Infinity cannot continue to fire for the time being, but this tactic of attracting firepower can As much as possible, let the Atlas Fleet approach the Federation Thirteenth Fleet with minimal losses.
Seeing Atlas's warships rushing toward their own fleet in a hand-to-hand combat posture, and then looking at the still motionless unmanned fleet, Guterres fell directly into despair.
The experience of going from hell to heaven, and then from heaven to hell in a battle is not something that every fleet commander can experience.
He even began to suspect that a power struggle within the Federation had begun. He was transferred to the Pyla system purely to kill him here.
Otherwise, why would the combat effectiveness of private enterprises on the opposite side be so strong?
Why did you suddenly change yourself to a fleet command and staff officer who looked like a 'bastard'?
And the unmanned fleet that came to support happened to lose control at this juncture?
“What a coincidence!”
Guterres punched the armrest of the captain’s seat, while the fleet command and staff beside him found that they could not be contacted I panicked when the unmanned fleet came behind, and now everyone was even more frightened.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Vice Admiral Guterres's previous guess. This temporarily transferred fleet command and staff officer is indeed here for gold plating.
As the son of an important congressman, he was already well taken care of in the Federal Navy. Although he learned some things at the Naval Academy, it was really not much. But in this case, his aura was really not good. few.
Chief of the XX Command Department, holder of the academy's simulated battle record, champion of the 'Command Knife Cup' academy fleet command competition, holder of the most number of girlfriends at the same time.
With the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire At the beginning of the war, he also followed the fleet to the front line - it was just a fleet with a second-rate combat readiness level, and the galaxy it went to was only an area on the front line where the fighting was not fierce.
Being transferred to the Thirteenth Fleet this time was indeed to ‘beautify’ his resume.
Because before the battle started, both his family and himself thought that the battle on Para 4 would be a very easy 'armed parade'. After all, the opponent is just a private enterprise, and the Thirteenth Fleet has been fighting the main fleet since the outbreak of the war. This battle can be said to be without any suspense!
Thinking of this, the son of a congressman no longer cares about the personal evaluation report at the end of the year. He can still distinguish whether promotion is more important or life is more important.
"Your Majesty General, let's retreat. If we continue like this, we will enter a hand-to-hand combat, and then we won't be able to leave!"
"You think I don't want to Are you leaving?" Guterres' tone now contained a hint of helplessness.
He looked at the Atlas fleet approaching from two directions, as well as the heavy armored combat boats that came back from another direction after completing a circle around the star, and shook his head in a somewhat broken manner.
“We have no time to leave.”
——
“Boss, are you sure that the unmanned fleet has been controlled???”
< br>On the bridge of the Hermes, Cleeves was also in confusion at the moment. After receiving an emergency communication from Amber and learning that the unmanned fleet would not launch another attack, the fleet The commander felt as if he had heard some fantasy.
"You still don't believe me? When have I ever lied to you~"
"I understand!" Although it always felt a little incredible, Cliffs also chose to believe Amber unconditionally at this time.
Nothing else, it’s just that I’m used to believing it.
“The other party has probably discovered the situation of the unmanned fleet. I judge that they will soon lose their will to fight, so you must seize this opportunity to dominate the sky in one fell swoop, so that the initiative will come We have it in our hands!
And if the other party surrenders, don’t kill them all, just take control of their warships and personnel.”
There was a hint of fatigue in Amber's voice, and the background sound of the communication was even more lively. For Cleeves, who was familiar with his boss's style, he quickly guessed that Amber was fighting and communicating again.
"Yes, Boss! Just concentrate on the battle. The fleet battle will be left to us. We will never let you down!"
The call between heaven and earth ended quickly, and Cliffs' heart It also fell into the stomach.
If those three unmanned fleets would not go into battle, then he would be confident enough to defeat the enemy in front of him.
"The entire fleet, enter hand-to-hand combat! All HCPs on board eject!"
——
"So how did you do it? And why did your skin change after you went up there?"
Enabled optical invisibility and forced cooling. In the cockpit of Titan, Amber, who was hiding in a hidden spot for a temporary rest to replenish her strength, took a bite of the energy bar and asked Lilith who came back.
After seeing this strong artificial intelligence that had changed its appearance, Amber had realized what must have happened, but he never expected that Lilith would directly take down three unmanned weapons as soon as she took action. fleet.
"Master, this cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Anyway, you believe me, these three unmanned fleets are already under your absolute control"
After shrinking, Lilith's new avatar floated around in the cockpit with the help of holographic projection equipment. She looked very happy, and in the end she lay directly next to Amber's ear.
“Why don’t you think of a way to win this battle first, and then I’ll talk to you in detail?”
“Okay. Don’t make any trouble for me. "
Amber also knew that this was not the time to discuss this. He drank the entire energy bar in two or three mouthfuls and swallowed it with drinking water, then regained control of his body and stood up.
In the burst mode of the machine body, the psychic crystals exposed by the multiple external armor plates after unfolding also began to emit light blue psychic light again.
With the help of the zoom of the body's optical sensor, he saw a convoy speeding on the road in the distance. The command cabin vehicle in the middle, disguised as a cooking vehicle, had already been marked.
"Van Fleet, right? I want to see how much ammunition you can spare to deal with me"
