The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"Ok?"

Xuefeng's expression became serious, she clicked on the tactical view, and made several calculations in a second:

"The jump-in position of the opponent's reinforcements is not affected by any disruption probes."

Like the gravitational well, the warp disruption probe has the function of interfering with the opponent's navigation computer, causing the end point of the opponent's warp to be set in the interference range or surrounding area by mistake. This will definitely disrupt the formation of the approaching fleet.The conventional defense system is partly based on this characteristic arrangement - the enemy jumps out, finds that it is interrupted, the fleet is in chaos, the counterattack is low, and it is almost impossible to maneuver, and then the fortress guns and anchor turrets take the opportunity to go up and hammer and explode They, the whole process is basically like this, even the deep dark worms will take this trick.

But the Mecks don't eat it.

Their formation is almost exactly the same as when the last fleet entered... which means...

"Varied……?"

They speed up and sail forward, looking like they are about to collide, and at the same time, they are fully fired-if the two sides confront each other, even if the opponent has three times the number, they will be lost within three hours at most, but if they are all riveted If you rush up and hit it, if you really hit it, even if you can win, the loss will still make people feel terrified.

"Tsk!"

Is the other party really planning to die together?Obviously possessing this level of transition technology and finding the hinterland of the Ministry of Consolidation, how can such a large fleet that can be used for various things be used for kamikaze?

Xuefeng expressed doubts about this, but she couldn't help thinking about it.After seeing the opponent's jumping skills, we must now assume that the opponent also has high-end tactical leap capabilities - we must regard it as equal to or even higher than ours.The other party has already started to accelerate towards this direction, and I can't help myself to think about it.

"Fleet speed up! Enter the jump preparation stage! After the completion, the fleet will jump to coordinate point No. [-]!" She marked the target point [-] kilometers behind the enemy fleet on the tactical system, and at the same time let Xuefeng move forward.While the opponent is jumping, they will jump at the same time when they sense the spatial fluctuations, so that when they land, the distance between the two fleets will be about [-] kilometers. This will not only avoid collisions, but also bombard the tail of the opponent's fleet immediately. .Even if the opponent just rushed forward, he was still within a safe distance from which he could react.

Even if it's the flagship team, I can fight high mobility battles!

In the first few seconds, everyone was terrified, afraid that the opponent would suddenly jump up and face, but they seemed unable to do such a thing.Accompanied by the tension in the communication link, all the flagship pilots were fully focused, the calculation of the space coordinates was quickly completed, and then the speed reached the standard for the jump.The enemy's artillery fire was fierce, and they illuminated the pilots' field of vision, just like the fire arrows falling in the night battle in ancient wars, as if they wanted to illuminate the entire sky.

Although a single weakened cannon beam can't do much damage, it will still accumulate damage when the number increases, and at the same time, it will increase the pressure on everyone invisible.The two sides accelerated while shooting each other, like armored trains running opposite each other along a railroad track.

Another large Mek battleship was hit continuously, it tilted, and it spun uncontrollably and drifted towards the channel of the friendly ship.Taking this as a signal, the red flash spreads along with strong spatial fluctuations like the shock wave of a bomb explosion.

coming!

"Leap!"

[The jump engine starts! 】

Almost at the same time, Tartarus also took off at the same time.Ripples in space immediately covered the field of vision, and the entire fleet turned into a beam of light that shot [-] kilometers away.

A few seconds later, the flagship team that had completed deceleration broke away from the leap force field, deployed the radar, and the artillery came online—finding the enemy...

But where are the enemies?

There is only one tragic battlefield remnant in front of us - more than 150 Mek battleships are left here, and there are even many flagship-level large warships.There are scorching wreckage, fragments, wrecked ships that are still undergoing small-scale explosions, and wounded ships that have lost their maneuverability but are still spraying fire toward this side.But other than that, there's nothing else.

The individuals who were alive and kicking, with complete fighting ability and still able to move, all disappeared without a trace in the jump just now.

[This... ran away? ] Desmond Burgess, the team commander of the second team, clenched his fist and hammered at the operation panel in front of him [Are you kidding us! 】

Xuefeng silently looked at the mess in front of him, and finally let out a deep breath.

The opponents are not mindless guys, their thinking logic is quite clear.They were quickly counterattacked after entering the battlefield, and at the same time, they were at a disadvantage in the process of shooting each other. They realized that they could not compete with the local defense forces. Then the next thing to do was very clear.

Retreat and choose another target to attack.

How to retreat is a problem-Xuefeng noticed that the opponent deliberately jumped in with another fleet before retreating. This behavior makes people feel a little strange.The opponent has the ability to jump at will regardless of the jump-disrupting probe, so just run directly, there is no need to let more warships jump in together, especially after seeing the power of the doomsday weapon, it is even more unnecessary to send a large number of warships and warships together. Vitality is in danger.

But they still did this, or even more than that, and deliberately made a frontal dash to lure Xuefeng to make the fleet make an overall tactical leap in order to avoid it... When you are at a disadvantage on the battlefield, it doesn't play no role for you. There must be a purpose for such a risky behavior in the idle time of Sao operation.

And this purpose must have something to do with the fleet's retreat.

"Boss Xuefeng, are we going to pursue it?" Letia asked, and as she asked, she also screened out the spatial coordinates of the enemy's retreat from the turbulent flow. "There are six possible jump points. Suggestion... it's better not to pursue it."

Xuefeng chose Letia to be his deputy not because she was a small-clawed otter, but because she was a very hardworking and talented child who dared to speak.When I was working as the principal of the Naval Academy with Huo Ling, I had already noticed this child. She could always grasp new knowledge very quickly, and she could already see it before the implant was installed. She has the ability to multitask.

This young man was naturally loved by Xuefeng.Just like what is said in the Yuefu Poetry Collection [the young and the strong do not work hard, the old will be sad], but if the young and strong work hard, the old will naturally be happy. (nonsense)

And now, her advice remains accurate.

There are six possible jump points, four are in the black field, and two are in the remote galaxies nearby.Dispersing the troops to chase will increase casualties, and the whole fleet will follow. Although the fuel of the jump engine is sufficient, the energy of the driver will become fatigued in the continuous jumping, and it may not be possible to catch up—the opponent's jumping technique is very evil. , the only one who will suffer from chasing casually will be himself.

Then don't chase after it.

A fleet in transition can't do anything, whether it's attacking or plundering, they have to stop first.A fleet that stops and attacks is easy to deal with.

Xuefeng pulled out two of the four nerve interfaces on the back:

"The technical department has obtained the opponent's ship, but the jump engine has not been fully understood. For the time being, let's regard it as the opponent has the jump technology that ignores our existing interference capabilities." She said, "The impact is not big, change the navigator, the flagship Gather the direct guard fleet and prepare for the next jump at any time—call the engineering troops of the fortress to come and clean up the battlefield, these wreckages are still useful at the technical department.”

【clear! 】

But Xuefeng herself did not intend to leave the driving seat. She injected the nanomechanical synergist through the interface on the side of the neck. After entering the brain, these tiny robots can activate the nerves, eliminate the fatigue caused by jumping, and rejuvenate the brain. Waking up, but slightly reducing sanity.It's not clear whether other people can resist the erosion of the medicine, but if it's their own, it's not a problem to resist it for several days.

In the first confrontation, I failed to grasp the opportunity to wipe out the opponent. Although the opponent was severely injured, hundreds of warships fell into the star sea, and the battle damage ratio was very good, but compared with the number of opponents, this is far from the level of a final decision. .It is foreseeable that the battle will develop into irritating and long-term guerrilla warfare.Fleeing and destroying when they find the right opportunity is a fleet with powerful mobility, and the same is true for the pursuers——she still has no idea how far the battle will develop.

Just because of this thought, Xuefeng didn't show any happy expression after winning the battle.The troops in the entire territory of the Consolidation Department have been activated at this moment, and the next step is to see which side will be "successful" first.

[The enemy's vanguard has not been wiped out, and we still don't know how many warships have entered our territory.Artanis and the Ground Alliance have increased the density of patrolling troops, hoping to find the whereabouts of the enemy this morning. 】In the communication, Xuefeng said 【The Mek people are gestalt conscious, if you can make the 'Queen' into a mustard octopus as soon as possible, maybe the fleet will stop by itself? 】

While flipping through Urdak's information, Oregana, who was making an attack plan, suddenly received news that her hometown had been stabbed.This made her secretly sigh in her heart, "Are you really planning to change homes?"——The Mek tribe's attack was as fast as a gale, as fast as lightning, but the gale hit the wall and the lightning stuck rubber, and it was very hard for Xuefeng to punch a few times. Quickly fled away.

It also shows that the opponent cannot outperform us in fleet battles. The combat power of the fleet of the Consolidation Department is overwhelming, but their mobility is still a headache.

This is equivalent to the threat to the interstellar traffic in the entire territory of the Consolidation Department. Since the outbreak of the battle, there has been panic everywhere.Everyone does know that the military gave the opponent a head-on blow, but the opponent still ran away. This feeling is like living in Tokyo and seeing the famous big screen where the Earth Defense Forces and the giant monsters fought on the big screen when you were shopping in Shibuya. At the end of the screen, the announcer said——

[The Giant of Light defeated Melba and dealt severe damage to Gorzan. It escaped with injuries, and the search is still ongoing. 】

Isn't it scary?Maybe he ran to the bottom of Wumen Mountain to accumulate flame magma energy to strengthen himself, incarnate as flame Gorzan and make a comeback.

[Is it necessary to issue martial law now?We cannot expose civilians to danger. 】

"Well, let's do it like this." Oregana said, "The fortress must accept the merchant ships on the communication line, and all merchant ships enter the nearest space fortress and outpost as soon as possible."

[Leave this to us,] Xuefeng’s voice sounds very reassuring, but the content is not very comfortable to sit down [If it develops into guerrilla warfare, I really don’t know how long it will take to develop it.] Catch the opposite side thoroughly.If it takes several weeks, the phenomenon of insufficient consumer goods will occur on those colony planets that are still under construction because of the increase in prices caused by the interruption of communication lines.Habitats that are not inherently self-sufficient will also be severely affected. 】

Food is enough, but consumer goods are another story.Basic consumer goods for basic necessities of life, cultural and sports items, as well as luxury goods such as nutritional products, gorgeous clothing, and collectibles together constitute everything people need in their daily lives.So far, most colonies have no way to produce everything on their own-consumer products are inherently diverse and variable, which requires a complete set of production lines to handle.

In addition, if people live in anxiety for a long time, there will be more serious problems.

"If it can't be done, the strategic cargo ship used to refuel the flagship will also have to make up for the gap."

[If civilian routes are completely shut down, strategic cargo ships may not be enough, and the flagship isotope fuel burned by the jump engine is also a strategic material. 】Xue Feng clenched his fist towards the screen and made a gesture of cheering 【Our side will do our best, and your side will work harder too!As long as the source is pinched, all problems will be solved. 】

Oregana nodded solemnly, indicating that she already knew about it.

Data from the command link indicated that CONCORD troops were already in motion.The patrolling whaling team continues to hunt with goals. After all, the dark worms cannot be let go at any time. Those who have no goals will immediately start patrol missions. These are organized by the Star Ring Community, Katari, Gendaya and the United & ZAFT. The mixed fleet composed of warships has a very high degree of cooperation in the long-term cooperation, and the flagship of any whaling team is equipped with an induction force field generator.The mothership of Protos had just left the port, and the fleets of Gameras, the Tyrann Empire, and the remnants also lifted off from various fortresses and planetary bases.

The communication links between battleships form a large network, and any node in it will be touched at an unimaginable speed. For example, within 40 seconds, the toucher will be strangled on the spot. Even if they can't be strangled directly, they can still leave something behind.

The Ministry of Consolidation did feel a headache because the opponent had entered a state of guerrilla warfare, but why didn't Queen Meck have a headache?Conversely, think about it from her point of view. When she just entered the enemy's hinterland and planned to bombard industrial facilities and residential areas, and even let demons enter this world to burn, kill, and loot, she first discovered that the state of the subspace here seemed wrong. The number of strength subspace life forms seems a bit scary, and the scan of the galaxy has not been completed, and even the two small ships that appeared in front of them have not had time to sink, a huge fleet carrying heavy weapons has already ridden up.

What's the matter.

Let the main force come in with the intention of relying on the force of a surprise attack to wipe out the empty rear in one go, leaving the fleet on the front line alone.As a result, they are now forced to use the main fleet to fight guerrilla warfare?How to fight this battle?how to winIs it really so exhausting?

Neklavo, which provides Yajin energy supply, has been occupied, Yajin supply has been suspended, and the logistics on his own side has been cut off. One of the most important reasons for fighting the opposite rear is to use its population to quickly rebuild Yajin supply—— Rather than a surprise attack for revenge, it is better to say that the gate of life has been seized by the other party. If you do not rely on military operations to grab raw materials and resources, you will not be able to survive.

But the surprise attack failed. Not to mention regaining energy, they couldn't even destroy the opponent's industrial facilities, and there was no way to bring them to the same level as their own for a war of attrition.Continue to grind, if you can't lay down at least one planet in a short time, then it's your own side that can't hold on.

"This is the result of my analysis using Queen Meck's thinking."

Dr. Hayden held the red hilt in his hand, and shook it lightly twice—this thing called 'Magic Crucible' is not only a weapon, but also a space and energy transmission device. Use this to channel the energy of the elemental ghosts.After his own improvement, the crucible was used by Hayden to steal Ajin from Meck's energy transmission network.In the past, when the Yajin energy was abundant, Dr. Hayden could let go of his guts, just like a dragon sucking a squid, but now, the passage has been tightened, and it seems that Queen Meck has noticed the loss of Yajin's energy.

It's like when you have a hundred star cities in your assets, if one of them is replaced by a crown lizard, you may not even notice it.But if there are only five star cities, one of them is replaced by a crown lizard, it's easy to see at a glance-the same is true for skill injectors and Thor torpedoes.

【Is it a waste of money now? 】Scythe of War asked on the bridge of the End Yan World 【This is not good. 】

"I think you guys are a big advantage." Hayden sat cross-legged on a chair, because her legs were too short to sit on the chair and it was uncomfortable to hang down, so she adopted this posture, with a look of [it's not me anyway. body, let it go] attitude.After seeing it, Liu Lizi decided to stare at her boss seriously, absolutely not letting her become such a person, "She can't afford it."

[We also don't want to compete with the gestalt-conscious race who grows faster. 】

The so-called gestalt is like this, as long as the boss bites to death [I'm just not good at counseling], they can continue to fight forever, and there will never be morale problems, and the column of happiness is directly a bar—— As long as the emperor is happy, we are all happy, because we are one!

However, the degree of war exhaustion will still increase, but it will increase more slowly.Surely your right hand won't suddenly jump up and shout 'I'm tired!' in Izumi's voice! ', but tenosynovitis is still difficult to hit the keyboard.Switching it to the biome of Gestalt consciousness is because a large number of losses lead to the effect of the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, forcing the subject to choose to retreat.

But generally speaking, the Gestalt-conscious population is really very persevering, and it would be quite uncomfortable if the local battle dragged on for a long time.

"Since the establishment of the Consolidation Department, apart from the dark worm, there has never been a guy who can rush into the mainland to make trouble on such a large scale. This guy really surprised us." Oregana waved her hand lightly, her gaze Moving to the corner of the main control room—the Doom Slayer is sitting on the sofa (for rest on duty) with his legs crossed, playing games with a handheld device in his hand. How are we going to use that Hellwalker who can spend thirteen hours a day playing Animal Crossing to find the home of the Mekks?"

Not long ago, the Doom Slayer showed a complicated expression when he saw Hayden.

Oregana is very familiar with this expression - when I was a child, I saw quite a few propagandists in puppet costumes, and I could often see them at the entrance of big shopping malls.It seems to be okay from a distance, but when you look closer...the suit is not very clean, the leather case is knotted, there is a hole in the mouth, covered with a black net, and the human face can be seen vaguely inside, bursts of heat Just come out of that hole.

For quite a long time, I was afraid of that, and would involuntarily put on a disgusted expression after seeing it.At that time, someone took a photo of himself, and his expression on the photo was exactly the same as the expression of Doom Slayer at this moment.

It was the expression of seeing the fake stuff inside.

At the very beginning, Oregana thought that the Doom Slayer would go up and tear Hayden apart, but he didn't do that after all. He just found a place to sit a little farther away, and began to move Sen out of sight.

Dr. Hayden felt that she was not torn because she chose the headgear well, and she said:

"The Doom Soldier has woken up, and hell will be in turmoil for a while, but considering the current thinking level and memory ability of the demons, the turmoil won't last long-you don't need to pay special attention to the region for the time being, and Queen Meck can't Attention covering all aspects of all areas. Right now her attention is in your territory, so we can take this opportunity to recover a... thing." She listed a space coordinate "Let's go, go to this coordinate .”

Oregana leaned over and took a look. The coordinates were located in a seemingly empty place in a dead galaxy three light-years away from the Ring of Nur.

"What's in here?"

"A hidden space fortress was initially used as a stronghold by the Mek tribe for the Yajin Night Guard during the expansion era, but after the civil war, the Mek tribe no longer moved forward, and this fortress was abandoned." Hayden Explained, "But the equipment used to connect Urdak is still intact. It is an energy transmission pipeline, which is used to transport conventional energy instead of Yajin-because the Mek tribe had not discovered hell when the fortress was built, so there Everything follows the ancient system."

"Oh?"

"At that time, the servant army of the Mek tribe could use the fortress, but they did not have all the authority of the fortress. Only the Mek angels could activate the energy transmission pipeline and the transmission equipment on it—for supplies and returning home. The Mek angels They are all loyal, and they will never betray, so this system is absolutely safe, and it is impossible for anyone to rely on this to find Urdak." She pointed to her chest with a thumbs up, "Except for me—I Transformed the body of Doom Soldier with the God Mechanics of the Mek clan. In addition to making it a 'Superman', he also implanted the energy/gene code for verification into his body, so that he can use the vast Most of the Mek's equipment... including battleships, but I don't think he can drive them."

"This should be something that is highly confidential, why is it so casual..."

"Because no one thought that I would betray me at that time, and Queen Maker had a lot of trust in me." Dr. Hayden snorted coldly, "After all, I am a copy of Queen Maker. Would I betray myself?"

"...Queen Maker hasn't watched the movie about the clone rebellion produced by the Earth system civilization?"

"...No. I was also surprised when I saw it for the first time. There is such an operation. Humans have a rich imagination. The only thing that this race with inconsistent thinking can think of is the Bimek race. This kind of thing tends to be more identical. Fortunately, she didn't watch it at that time, and fortunately, she was not very interested in the culture of other races. The queen...she doesn't understand people's hearts, from the level of thinking methods."

When Hayden said this, his expression became very strange.That small face suddenly showed the expression that should appear on the face of the disillusioned old man—as a replica of Queen Mek, she also remembered the history of the Mek clan for thousands of years, and knew how the Mek clan spread among the stars. I believe in God, absorb the essence of various civilizations for my own use, and enjoy the mercy of the heavenly father.

From playing in the human world without worrying about death at the beginning, to being unable to be reborn after the disappearance of the heavenly father, the strength of the Mek clan is gradually declining, and even Queen Mek cannot be born again.The future of the race is gloomy, and the light of new energy seems to light up the future again... It's just that it's an illusion, and Queen Mek, who is connected with the race, can't see this clearly, just like the victims in the desert don't understand the The oasis is like a mirage.

She looked at her, at another self, but she couldn't hear her voice.Using the energy of hell is just lingering, and in the end the entire Mek clan will be reduced to hell's sacrifices.The Mek tribe devours other low-level civilizations to support Hell, and Hell devours all intelligent races equally, which naturally includes Mek—

No one can save the Mayk anymore, and even those who have the ability to save the Mayk tribe will not be able to help after seeing what Queen Mayk has done... The reality is that the Mayk tribe is exhausted I have to prepare an ending for it.Die at the hands of other civilizations and eventually pour them all into hell to be refined. Sure enough, it would be better to die at the hands of other civilizations.At least, to be dead is to be dead.

That's what the once Queen Meck, now Dr. Hayden, thought.

Oregana glanced at Dr. Hayden who looked like that, and stood up without saying anything:

"Let's go, let's find that fortress." She clapped her hands, drawing the attention of others to herself. "The fleet is assembled! We must end this before the happiness level drops below [-]!"
