Interstellar End Times: I Take Players to Dismantle Spaceships

Chapter 316
"Have you heard, we now have a federal establishment!"

"I just heard that the federal Ministry of Defense has just updated the list of defense security contractors. We are an A-level unit, and we also have a privateering license!"

"In other words, we can rob the Imperials with great arrogance, and then bring the loot to the federal port to sell the stolen goods, and even earn military industry!"

"Hey, Captain, you're awesome! When are we going out to rob?"

"The captain said, let the bullets fly for a while."

As soon as the federal commissioner left, Howard's adjutant came to Chu Hang and expressed his intention to recruit the Shentang mercenary group.

Now the Seventh Fleet is miserable and in urgent need of reinforcements.

Howard obviously can't wait for the rookie coming from behind.

The fall of the Pearl Harbor base directly threatened the security of the Blackwater Galaxy.

There is still a large amount of loot and wreckage that has not been salvaged, and the search and rescue work of the fleet has not been completed, so it certainly cannot be left to the Imperials.

There was no other way. The Federation could only urgently mobilize three more fleets from the core star field to form a confrontation with the Empire.

The remnants of the Seventh Fleet had to return to their base for repairs alone, without a dedicated escort fleet on the way.

This made Howard quite insecure.

So he temporarily recruited many mercenary groups to prepare to return to the base together, so that he could have someone to look after him on the way.

The mercenaries of Shentang are very powerful and must be fought over.

Howard naturally knew Chu Hang's appetite. Since his fleet would be equipped with the new stealth version of the Wraith this time, the remaining old models were promised to Chu Hang.

After all, Shen Tang's ace pilot is impressive.

Moreover, Howard's adjutant also said that the Shentang Mercenary Group can replenish supplies in the Black Swan Galaxy, where the Seventh Fleet is stationed, and receive the decommissioned battleships they need.

Black Swan Fortress is an artificial star port that is not part of Pearl Harbor, also known as Goose City.

In the future, Shen Tang can also come to Echeng to sell stolen goods when he returns home.

In this case, Chu Hang naturally had no reason to refuse.

In order to avoid long nights and long dreams, the Seventh Fleet set off to return home that day. However, due to the damage to the main engine of the Enterprise mothership, the mixed fleet was unable to jump independently and could only sail to the nearest stargate hub at sub-light speed.

The huge and mixed fleet left the Blackwater Galaxy in a mighty manner.

Although the number looks impressive, if you take a closer look, you can see that it is a straw bag composed of defeated soldiers and miscellaneous troops, which is of no use.

Apparently, the Imperials thought so too.

The third day of setting sail.

"No, a large number of hyperspace signals have been detected!"

In the CIC of the Enterprise, someone suddenly yelled, and Howard was so frightened that he sat up from his chair.

Damn, I'm really afraid of what will happen.

The imperial fleet is really lawless, and this is within the Federation!
However, he also knew that the reason why the Imperial people dared to be so unscrupulous was because the Federation's military strength was already stretched thin.

It’s not that the quantity is small, but that the chassis is too big.

The Federation fleet is a defensive fleet, which is completely different from the Empire's offensive fleet. They have too many places to defend, and the gap of six fleets is fatal to the entire defense line.

There was no time to change defenses in just a few days.

Now the federal rear is stepping up efforts to arm a new fleet, but all this will take time.

"Did you ask for help from the surrounding defenders?"

"We have asked for help, but the colonial defenders are not willing to come. They only have some fleets in some places, and their force is not even as good as the mercenary group!"

"Then order them to come, even if they are used as cannon fodder."

"But they were speechless."

"Faq, these cowards!"

The federal system results in considerable autonomy for local governments.These franchising colonies in the Outer Rim Sector join the Federation, pay taxes to the federal government, and then receive protection from the federal government to protect them from the plunder of imperial colonists.

But now, the Federation and the Empire have declared war.

The Federation had just suffered a heavy blow.

In this case, they may be abandoned by the Federation at any time, and naturally it is impossible to use the only local fleet to rescue the Federation fleet.

This is not a cold war. If we want to destroy them, these colonies must be destroyed first. The core area of ​​​​the Federation will definitely survive until the end.

Therefore, in the end, it is up to the Seventh Fleet to fight on its own.

"The Imperial fleet has arrived! A total of 4 Imperial-class battleships and 237 sub-capital ships! Judging from the model, it seems to be the Empire's second-line defense fleet?"

This is easy to distinguish.

The Empire's 15 main fleets are equipped with Empire II type battleships, the type with 64 heavy turbolaser cannons.

The ones arriving now are all Imperial Type 16 battleships equipped with [-] main guns.

There's a huge difference in firepower.

But the problem is that this fleet is very powerful, but the Seventh Fleet is exhausted. Can it be compared?

Sure enough, when they saw the approaching imperial fleet, most of the mercenary group hired by Howard ran away.

The Imperial people are also happy to let those miscellaneous fish run away.

After the mercenary ships escaped through hyperspace, an accompanying Interdictor cruiser immediately deployed its gravity well.

The shape of this type of battleship is quite recognizable. There are 4 huge spheres distributed on the surface of the same triangular hull. Inside are 4 gravity well generators, which can effectively intercept hyperspace units.

Howard's face was so gloomy that water could drip from his face.

It was really a disaster, and what he was sitting on was a dreadnought!

The imperial people dared to provoke even the second-line fleet, and they really didn't take him seriously.

Pissed off!

"Hmph, order the fleet to fight! Teach these imperial dogs a lesson!"

Howard felt guilty.

Even if he loses the battle in the fleet, his Enterprise won't be able to sink for a while, right?After all, the other party must not dare to stay in the federal territory for too long.

What's more, he also has his loyal Shentang mercenary group by his side.

The battle is imminent.

The commander of this imperial fleet was not stupid either. He first cautiously tested the strength of the Seventh Fleet, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the Seventh Fleet's firepower was even worse.

So the target was immediately changed from harassment to assault.

The war between the two countries has made all soldiers in the imperial military become fanatical. In the empire, military rank is equal to status, and achievements can be made today. If the Enterprise can be sunk...

Hundreds of TIE fighter jets rushed toward the Seventh Fleet, and the Imperial fleet behind them began to conduct precise artillery fire.

Immediately, an unshielded Minotaur was blasted by a series of turbo laser volleys.

Facing the menacing Imperials, Howard immediately ordered to shrink the defense line and stand firm to wait for reinforcements.

This cowardice makes the players ache.

It's really embarrassing. Don't go out and say that you are an ally of our Shen Tang.

But Howard obviously didn't think so. He had seen the video and knew how powerful the Shentang pilot was.

They can even go to the insect swarm, but the Imperial fleet can't go?

As long as Shen Tang launches an attack, everything will be fine~
