Chapter 560, Herding Sheep
"No, we have to go faster."
Hearing this, Paulson shook his head and said: "The actions of the Mechanical Ark fleet have their own will. Paulitos, the reason why we are here is because we were entrusted by Chapter Commander Paul. The sect did not originally intend to raise the flag of rebellion now. , purely because your performance in the Proud Claw Star Territory was too bad, so I had to come out to clean up the mess.”
"Captain Paul did ask us to save you two regiments if we have a chance. But if we don't have a chance, we can't force it. Our most important task is to eliminate the main force of the alliance here. At least prevent them from entering the Nepeta Star Territory and the Alfonzo Star Territory.”
Paulitos nodded and said: "I completely understand this, but I also ask Sage Paulson to help..."
As he spoke, Paulitos' tall body bowed deeply: "I beg you...please...save my battle group. If you can help us, then the Raging Flames Chapter, as well as the new The World Torch Chapter will do our best to repay you in the future, whether it is you or the Alfonzo Sect, no matter what you want, we will fight for you.”
Paulitos' words were so sincere that Paulson's machine heart beat twice.
Of course, the most fundamental reason for his mechanical heart to beat was the commitment of the two battle groups to help him.
There are still two Space Marine Chapters, and under the mechanism of the Iron Fury Stone, they are still a Chapter that can be reincarnated at will... Their friendship is of great value.
The Adeptus Mechanicus always needs to attack a certain planet that preserves ancient ruins, there will be some exploration missions, there will be some need to defend certain achievements, or to hunt down some traitors... When the Space Marines do these tasks, they are a handful. A good hand is much more efficient than sending someone to do it personally from the Mechanicus.
The two war groups can help with work at any time, which is also an important help for the Alfonzo Sect.
Not to mention, for Paulson personally.
If you need someone to do some private work, Space Marines are also very useful.
As for if they lose the battle, the two war groups are wiped out, and they can't fulfill their future commitments...then they won't lose anything.
These thoughts went around in his mind, and Paulson's voice became gentle: "Sigh... Captain Paulitos, we are allies, and I am very sympathetic and concerned about your situation. Since you have said so... Captain Paulitos, I will do my best to persuade the Ark Fleet to speed up and come over as soon as possible."
At this point, Paulson felt a little hesitant again. He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "However, you must be prepared. Even if you speed up, it will take at least a month to reach the Proud Claw Star Territory. The arrival I am talking about is through Wen Qi The star's astral tunnel arrives at Wuqi Star. The specific time it takes to rush to you and join you depends on the distance between the two sides and the movement of the alliance fleet. No one can give you this. Guaranteed.”
"I can't thank you enough for being able to do this."
Paulson said: "Then please hold on, don't be wiped out before we arrive. After all, I personally still look forward to it. After we win in the future, you, and the new world you represent by the way." Torch, can fulfill the promise just made.”
"I'm also looking forward to that day."
……
After talking to Paulson and getting the assurance that the Alfonzo sect's Ark fleet would speed up, the actions became more cautious.
Just as Paulson said at the end, Paulitos knows that external help is only one aspect. Whether he can save his war group in the end depends on himself.
On the one hand, he was carefully dealing with the blood shark, and there was no way he would let out any flaws to be hit quickly.
Paulitos had seen the fighting power of this group of 'barbarians' from the outside world when he fought alongside them a hundred and thirty years ago, and he had also seen it when the New World Torch was beaten violently.
If this group of guys who are good at quick assaults are given the opportunity, their fleet may really have a big problem before the main force of the alliance arrives.
But no matter what, there are still more than 1,500 angry flames present; the New Age Torch still has 700 people after experiencing a tragic failure. With more than two thousand Space Marines gathered together and always on standby on the main ships, it is still difficult to easily conquer them.
Paulitos basically gave up on arranging Space Marines in the warships below the cruiser, and instead concentrated all these people on large ships.
However, stable transmission beacons are placed on every warship.
Both war groups have think tank teams, and they also have the ability to teleport. However, what they have is the most unpretentious teleportation technology. It is not like the Alliance, which has a powerful team of psychic mages and a top psyker Gu Hang himself, who can use hard power to forcibly teleport; Like blood sharks, they have lost technologies from an unknown era or even an unknown race.
If they want to use teleportation methods for offense, they must first hit the target ship with a stable teleportation beacon through teleportation torpedoes, so that they can carry out ultra-long distance teleportation stably and without error.
Or, let the ships carrying space warriors and think tanks approach to within a thousand kilometers of the enemy - this distance, in space combat, is not much different from being close to the face.
However, if it is used for defense, it will be much easier to handle.
No need to teleport torpedoes. Just place a stable teleport beacon on every ship.
When those small warships were attacked by blood sharks, they could respond quickly.
But to be honest, if the boat is lost, it is lost.
The most important thing is to protect the large ships above the cruiser level, especially the two large ships, Wings of Spark and Fire of Triumph.
However, from then on, Blood Shark didn't try many gang-hopping tactics.
Their rapid assault on Torchlight achieved brilliant results. They killed more than two hundred Torch Warriors at the cost of less than a hundred men, and also destroyed the battle barge Torchlight.
However, the 'price of a hundred people', although compared to the results of the battle, is a completely acceptable loss. However, the total number of blood sharks does not exceed a thousand.
If it comes a few more times, the blood shark himself won't be able to withstand it.
What's more, now that the Raging Flame and the New Age Torch are on tight defense, it will not be easy to replicate the previous results.
The method adopted by the Blood Shark Fleet is more like intimidation.
They use special technology to hide their ships in darkness. On the surface, only the three battle cruisers of the Alliance were chasing; but from time to time, their ships would suddenly appear within the detection range of the Furious Flame Fleet, which would often startle them.
Through this kind of intimidation and driving, the exhaustion accumulated by the Raging Flame Fleet is second to none. The most important thing is that in the process of escaping, they basically have no way to freely choose their escape route.
They were forced to act like sheep driven by sheepdogs.
This was not good, and a huge sense of uneasiness enveloped Paulitos' heart.
Driving sheep... Then where will the sheep be driven?
A slaughterhouse?
