Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 1222
The outpost that was attacked was actually a small warship, and the star system it was in was less than a hundred light-years away from the central region.

Although from the perspective of saving the energy of officers and soldiers and monitoring the situation in the area more effectively, rich and powerful civilizations like the extreme people often spend huge sums of money to build special outposts. For example, there are many large outposts in the north of the southern region. But no civilization spends resources building temporary outposts during a war.Under normal circumstances, warships are used, and they are damaged in battle, their combat effectiveness is compromised, or even they have completely lost their combat effectiveness.Of course, some key equipment of the battleship, such as power plant and communication equipment, will be repaired according to the situation. In addition, a stronger ecosystem will be provided for the battleship according to the number of officers and soldiers stationed.

In fact, it is not a strange thing to turn a battleship into an outpost.

There are tens of thousands of outposts converted from warships on the Greenwich defense line, and the outpost where Yang Yi served was rebuilt from a warship damaged in the war, and it can accommodate tens of thousands of officers and soldiers. It's just that there are usually only more than 1000 people stationed.

Of course, the outpost that was attacked was not an abandoned warship, but a brand new warship, nothing more than a small warship.

The Extreme Realm clan had just joined the battle, and the Extreme Realm clan fleet hadn't really fought against the enemy yet, so they didn't lose many warships.

Because this perseverance is on the route from the eastern region to the central region, and it serves as a space jump node, the Extreme Realm tribe sent a warship there.According to the arrangement, this small battleship stayed outside the star system, closely monitored the situation in the star system with various detection equipment, and reported immediately after discovering anomalies.Because it is not in the star system, the probability of being discovered is not high.

Of course, since they are only performing surveillance tasks, there is no need to enter the star system.

Well, the problem is coming.

The attacking outpost must be the enemy's attacking army, and the enemy's attacking army must arrive through space jump, and it will enter the star system.Then, before the enemy's attacking army comes out of the space channel, the space fluctuations generated by opening the space channel exit will be discovered by the detectors deployed by the outpost.Even if a large warship is coming, the officers and soldiers in the outpost can prepare for battle in time, instead of issuing an alarm after being attacked, and it is even less likely to lose contact after the alarm is issued.You know, it is a small battleship known for its speed, as long as it can detect the enemy in time, even if it cannot be defeated, it will definitely be able to escape.

Unless, the enemy did not enter the star system, but completed a space jump outside the star system.

It's hard to believe, but it's the only reasonable explanation.

The key point is that the tonnage of that small warship is limited. Because it carries more officers and soldiers performing surveillance missions, it cannot carry too much detection equipment. The surveillance area is limited to the interior of the star system, so there is no deployment of detectors outside. It is impossible Timely detection of anomalies appearing outside the star system.You must know that spatial fluctuations also propagate at the speed of light. If no detectors are deployed, it is impossible to detect abnormal phenomena in the distance in time only by the detection equipment on small battleships.Obviously, the enemy just appeared outside the star system, and first discovered the small warships of the Extreme Realm Race, and then launched a surprise attack, leaving the officers and soldiers on the small battleships with no time to take action.

So, why did the enemy attack the outpost?

You must know that the target of the attacking army is the star system in the central region, and the outpost is outside the central region.Unless the enemy's commander is an idiot, he won't start the attack before entering the central area, let alone expose his whereabouts in order to attack an outpost.

More importantly, the capital ship must be able to complete the space jump outside the star system and discover the outpost, because only the capital ship has the ability to sail independently and is equipped with enough detection equipment.Of course, only capital ships can destroy the small warships of the Extreme Realm clan in one fell swoop.If it is another warship, even a large warship, the main guns it is equipped with may not be able to destroy a small warship in one fell swoop.

So, why did the enemy's capital ship fight here?

In fact, the enemy's capital ship had no reason to attack the outpost at all, but should go to the central region and attack the local star system.

Unless the enemy's purpose is to expose their whereabouts and use this to lure all the nearby extreme warships over.

Don't forget, prior to this, Queen Kang Sheng had transferred the Extreme Realm fleet to the eastern region to assist the legion in dealing with the wild beast legions in various star systems.Although not all the fleets have come to the eastern region, there are not many extreme warships staying in the central region.According to Queen Kang Sheng's deployment, these warships are distributed along the main strategic routes, and are responsible for guarding these routes and the star systems on the routes.To put it simply, it is to ensure that the routes to the various star systems in the central region are unimpeded, and to ensure that the occupation of each star system can proceed normally.Although there are many routes, it is impossible for the fleet of the Extreme Realm to concentrate their actions, but there will not be too few warships scattered in various locations, at least there are several ships, and there are usually dozens or even several ships near the key star systems of the main routes. Hundreds of warships of the Extreme Realm clan.In other words, with the existence of these warships, it is absolutely impossible for the attacking army to enter these star systems.

Obviously, the attacking army can only attack the main star system in the central region only by diverting the warships of the extreme clan.

Of course, this is for the future.

Now it seems that the enemy's active attack on the outposts of the extreme tribe is not creating opportunities for attacking the star system in the central region, but creating opportunities for more attacking troops to enter the central region.To put it simply, the Jijing tribe monitored all the routes leading to the central region, so it was impossible for most of the attacking troops to enter the central region without being detected.For those attacking troops with only ordinary warships or troop carrier spaceships, as long as they are discovered, they will be overtaken by the extreme warships.Obviously, most of the attacking troops are still in the eastern region, but they are not far from the central region.The enemy's attack on the outpost at this time is to lure the extreme warships in the nearby star system.

Obviously, after receiving the alarm from the outpost, the nearby warships will rush over.

Fortunately, the elder in charge of the blockade had already figured this out, and before reporting to Queen Consheng, he gave orders to the other warships performing surveillance missions to stay in their star system.Of course, the elder dispatched warships from other places to investigate the situation, but he couldn't arrive in time and it would take some time.Because it was just a small warship with very weak combat effectiveness, it was likely to have been completely destroyed by the enemy, so even if the rescue warship rushed over immediately, it might not be able to play a role.The key is still to maintain the integrity of the defense line, closely monitor all air routes leading to the central region, and ensure that the enemy cannot enter the central region.

"According to our judgment, the enemy's main force should still be in the eastern region, but it is not far from the central region, and may be concentrated somewhere. As long as we maintain the integrity of the defense line, the enemy will not be able to escape without our discovery." In other words, it won’t be long before the enemy launches an attack again, and it is very likely that they will use the same method, or even the same attacking army. I have already issued orders to other outposts to strengthen the defense against the outer star system. Surveillance strength, try to avoid being attacked by the enemy suddenly. However, there are very few warships that can be used now, especially capital ships, so we need to spend some time to organize a fleet."

"Have you thought about another question?"

"what?"

Queen Kang Sheng glanced at the elder, and then said: "The enemy has dispatched hundreds of thousands of attacking troops, half of which use our troop carrier spaceships, the rest use warships, and some are capital ships. In addition, in our transportation Some of the military spaceships have independent navigation capabilities. Since the enemy can attack the outposts so close to the central area, they must not be far from the central area. In other words, those attacking troops using warships do not need to pass through other spaces Jumping the node, we can directly enter the central area. If our defense line has any meaning, it only blocks the attacking troops who use troop carriers that do not have independent navigation capabilities, so that they cannot directly enter the central area. It is necessary to go to a star system that is already under our surveillance before making the last space jump."

The elder nodded, expressing that he understood Queen Kang Sheng's meaning.

"Obviously, those are not the main force of the enemy."

"This……"

"According to your deployment, we will closely monitor all star systems adjacent to the central region, and at the same time mobilize and organize enough warships to prepare for those attacking troops that forcefully break into the central region. Of course, the enemy will definitely come, and will Attacked our outposts again shortly afterwards. The problem now is that when we concentrate our fleet on this line of defense, the rear becomes even more empty."

"Your Majesty, you mean..."

"If those attacking troops with warships have entered the central region and launched an attack, can we deal with it?"

The elder froze for a moment, looking very shocked.

"More importantly, the attacking troops that can enter the central region all have warships, and they are mainly warships, so the attack target may not necessarily be the star system, but it is likely to be the transport fleet on various routes. Don't forget, we Preparations are being made for the relocation of the Human Federation to the central region, and almost all transport spaceships have been dispatched, as well as a large number of non-combatants. If too many fleets are attacked, the preparations cannot be completed in time."

"what should we do?"

"Send all the fleets you have mobilized back, and continue to perform security missions according to the previous arrangement, focusing on protecting the transport spaceships on various routes."

"But……"

"Of course, the defense line must also be defended, but I will do it myself."

"His Majesty!"

"If you have news, please contact me immediately." Queen Kang Sheng let out a sigh of relief and said, "Even if the attacking troops remaining in the eastern region are not the main force of the enemy, they cannot be allowed to enter the central region. If we can When these enemies are eliminated, we will be much more relaxed, and then we will be able to mobilize enough troops to deal with other attacking troops. That is to say, you have to provide the enemy with a chance to enter the central area."

The elder was slightly taken aback, then nodded, expressing that he understood Queen Kang Sheng's meaning.
