Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 799: Two Million
This time, the First Fleet gained a lot and returned to the civilization headquarters in triumph.

As the first commander of the First Fleet and leader of civilization, Yue Yuan's prestige will inevitably increase again as he comes with victory.

This is something that helps to consolidate the internal stability of humanity and is very meaningful.

Moreover, after being away for so long, perhaps the main human civilization clusters have formed some interest and power groups. To put it bluntly, there may even be new leaders.

Of course, the possibility is not great. After all, Yue Yuan is aware of Zhu Pitt's ability and sense of responsibility, and with the military support of the commanders of the two fleets, there is no big problem.

However, even if there really is a political change, Yue Yuan is not afraid, he just needs to work backwards.

He believed that those people had a vision for all humanity, but he couldn't resist human nature, so sometimes he couldn't help but think in this direction.

As for the strong artificial intelligence-driven warships lost by the First Fleet, it is actually not a big problem. The shipbuilding technology is still there, and as long as humans are given time, it will only take minutes to make up for it.

There were no accidents on the first fleet's return journey. Traveling at full warp speed, it took the fleet just over three years to reach the outskirts of the star system where human civilization exists.

"We're back!"

The fleet is still in warp speed, but the tachyon detector has detected that the target star is just ahead and sends the distance information back to the First Fleet.

However, before the people of the First Fleet could cheer, the probe sent back another message.

It was a set of image information, which was captured by the optical detection equipment of the detector, converted into tachyon signals, and then transmitted back to the First Fleet in real time. It was like the fleet's external eyes.

But at this moment, this eye brought a disturbing picture to the First Fleet.

The first thing that catches your eye is a busy scene, with a group of ships of various types moving slowly under the starry sky with planets as the background.

The shapes of these ships were very familiar. Yue Yuan and others knew at a glance that they must be human ships, but the conditions of these warships seemed to be a little wrong.

Residential spacecraft, biosphere spacecraft, factory spacecraft...all spacecraft are in motion, but some of the various work platforms have been retracted into large planetary transport ships, while some are still operating in orbit.

It looks like...are you going to leave here?

But if you are leaving, why haven’t you closed down all the work platforms?
Rush!!!

Seeing this situation, a word popped into everyone's mind.

The majority of human civilization seems to be leaving here, and doing so in a hurry.

But this time point obviously did not exceed the agreed time, so there is only one explanation: the main fleet cluster of human civilization encountered trouble!
Thinking of this, everyone's heart tightened.

Don't let anything happen!
Shouting in their hearts and continuing to look at the screen, the people of the First Fleet keenly discovered that in the hastily retreating fleet cluster, the residential spacecraft of those affiliated civilizations were arranged at the back. Oh... they were trying to collect the various work platforms in orbit.

But...what about the battleship?

Where's the Second Fleet? Where's the Third Fleet? And where's the fleets of the Star Alliance civilizations? Why aren't they here?
Logically speaking, if the main fleet of civilization wants to leave this star system, there should be a fleet of warships to escort it. Why are none of them here?

Suddenly, a bad feeling came over me.

"Call for consultation!" The more he looked, the more something seemed to be wrong. Yue Yuan immediately contacted the information department and asked them to send a message to the headquarters of human civilization immediately.

The First Fleet of Humanity has now reached the outer edge of the star system. The entire star system is already within the range of tachyon communication, and naturally within the range of tachyon detection. Logically speaking, with the arrangement of the main body of human civilization, the First Fleet should have been discovered long ago after it withdrew from warp speed, even if the First Fleet only had 3,000 ships.

But the First Fleet had exited warp speed for a while, but had not received any detection information or even any tachyon communication information from headquarters.

That can only mean that the main fleet cluster of human civilization is already unable to take care of itself and only wants to leave, and the internal command is probably already in chaos to a certain extent, otherwise it would be impossible that they did not even send a single message.

So what happened that made the main fleet cluster of human civilization so anxious!
While the people of the First Fleet were anxiously waiting, they did not stand there, but continued to move towards the main fleet of human civilization.

After a while, the main fleet cluster of human civilization finally discovered the First Fleet.

"It's the First Fleet, the First Fleet is back!"

The communication password was quickly matched and real-time communication was established at this moment.

At the same time, images of several familiar people appeared on the big screen of the Lyra.

It was Zhu Pit and several high-ranking personnel from the Security Department. The words just spoken came from them.

"General Yue, you are finally back. That's great, that's great!" One of the senior security department leaders said excitedly when he saw Yue Yuan, as if he had found his backbone.

However, as soon as the joy appeared, it quickly disappeared, and was replaced by a gloomy look.

Zhu Pitt looked even more haggard, as if he was worried about something.

At this time, other staff members behind them seemed to have seen Yue Yuan and others through a real-time video call.

Their reaction was the same as that of the senior security official: happy and excited at first, but then quickly replaced by dejection.

At the same time, there were scattered words coming out.

"Marshal Yue is back, the First Fleet is back...but...what's the use?"

"Yes, the enemy is so powerful that even the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet can't hold on. What's the point of the First Fleet coming?"

"Yes, it is because the war situation is not going well that the Second and Third Fleets jointly informed us that we must leave as soon as possible. If we are any later, it may be too late!"

"It's not possible, it's definitely too late. According to the latest intelligence, the Third Fleet has lost more than half of its fleet in the battle and it won't be able to hold out for much longer."

"No, we still have some time. The First Fleet is back, and we should be able to buy time for evacuation."

Yue Yuan on the other side of the screen could vaguely hear it.

He immediately looked at Zhu Pitt on the screen and asked in a deep voice, "What enemy? What's going on?"

Zhu Pitt was also unambiguous and said hurriedly: "According to the latest news from the Second and Third Fleets, it should be a battleship."

"A battleship?" Yue Yuan was stunned. He was mentally prepared to hear that it was a large fleet, but Zhu Pitt told him that it was a battleship!
"Yes, we cannot rule out the possibility that our detection technology is not good enough, but we have only seen one ship so far." Zhu Pitt answered quickly, "But its combat capability is very strong. At first, the Third Fleet encountered it. We don't know what caused the conflict. Later, the Third Fleet asked for help, and the Second Fleet went to support it. Then not long ago, the commanders of the two fleets sent a joint message saying that the battleship had probably discovered us, and asked us to run as fast as possible, and they would hold the battleship back..."
