In the dark and deep starry sky.

An interstarfleet of unprecedented scale is sailing at full speed to the planet of Cavera.

The fleet flight formation is in the shape of a diamond-shaped octahedron, and six high-speed interstellar frigates are distributed at various top corners, building an all-round three-dimensional outer defense circle.

In the circle, 8 heavy interstellar combat ships serve as the main force of defense, and 4 large interstellar carriers act as the core of defense.

These 18 combat starships are in a posture of meeting at any time, just to protect the 5 interstellar cargo ships and passenger ships that went to pick up people on the planet Capora, and if they can successfully complete the mission, they can evacuate at least one million people.

The strength of such a fleet is not strong, it has completely reached the peak level of the fourth-level civilization, and when it encounters other civilizations of the same level, even if the other party is larger, it is not afraid at all.

In the dark of space, this fleet has always been flying fast, maintaining an ultra-fast speed of about 135 kilometers per second.

In order to achieve cross-galaxy travel, the flight speed of the aircraft should exceed 120 kilometers per second, but the current starfleet is flying to the planet Cabora at a relatively faster speed, which naturally consumes more energy and is easier to reduce the life of the power system.

It's like a car on the highway, it's safer to drive at 120 kilometers per hour, and it's also more fuel-efficient, while if you drive at 140 kilometers or even faster, it's of course more dangerous, more wear and tear on the vehicle, and higher fuel consumption.

But......

This starfleet is carrying out a strategic rescue mission, they are there to save people, and if they arrive a minute earlier, they may save one more life, and they are completely in a race against death, so who can still take care of wear and tear, of course, it is a collective hurricane, and the wind is galloping.

And sailing at a faster speed, it is also more able to prevent enemy sneak attacks, tracking and tailgating, if the snail crawls slowly, it is easy to be easily caught up by the enemy.

Full!

Full speed ahead!

On the command bridge of the largest interstellar passenger ship in the fleet, the "Noble", Oletru, who was the vice chairman of the Erno Industrial Group at the time, was also the director of Planet Lake affairs.

Fino is Oletrou's brother, after he received Feno's retreat plan, he did not hesitate to mobilize many starships to form a fleet, with a large number of troops and equipment and ammunition, and rushed to the planet Capora to rescue.

As long as you don't run to death, run to death!

Oletro completely ignores whether the power system of the interstellar ship will be unbearable, anyway, from the beginning to the present, it has been running at extreme speed, big deal, after this trip, all the ships will go to the space dock for overhaul, and saving people is the most important thing.

Standing on the command seat, Oletru stared ahead with blazing eyes, he kept thinking about when the enemy would appear, he knew very well what was happening on the planet Kabora, and he also knew that many of the group's starships had been destroyed, and some had lost contact.

Therefore, the hot-blooded and belligerent Oletro is actually vaguely looking forward to the enemy being able to appear as soon as possible and defeat the other party, not only to test the combat effectiveness of his fleet, but also to remove the obstacles when retreating, so as to avoid being stopped by interference after arriving on the planet of Cavera.

"Come on, show up, where the hell are you?"

Oletru, who was quite prepared, was secretly muttering in his heart, and his hands involuntarily clenched into fists.

"Lord Steward, the latest telecommunications!"

A communications officer hurried over and handed the tablet to Oletrous.

After glancing at it at a glance, Oletru's face turned pale in an instant, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.

"It's over!"

The corners of Oletru's lips squirmed slightly, and he muttered to himself, "We're still a step slower after all! Damn pariahs, damn bastards, how can this be, I...... I want to kill them all!"

The latest telecommunications are bad news.

The great retreat negotiated by the giants in private, and the leak of the news caused a panic among the whole people, and quickly turned into a super chaos under the instigation of some people with extreme and radical ideas.

In the midst of this turmoil, the space vehicle hidden in the Erno Industrial Group was besieged and robbed, and countless battles broke out between the employees of the group, between the employees and the outside world, etc., and the headquarters building of the group in St. York has been blown up, and the branches in various places have also been destroyed in the turmoil......

"Lord Steward, are we going to Planet Cabola now?"

The Communications Officer asked cautiously tentatively.

The Communications Officer was also selfish in raising such a question, after all, his family and friends were still on the planet of Kabola, and he believed that maybe they were still alive and waiting for the fleet to rescue them from the sea of suffering.

It's just that now that such a bad news has been received, it also indicates that many elites of the group have died, so the communications officer is very worried that Oletru will order a return.

"Why don't you go? It's already halfway through the voyage, so why give up?"

"Besides, even if we can't evacuate alone, at least when we arrive, we will be able to meet the enemy, and I, Oletro, still want to avenge my relatives!

Oletru said loudly.

His shouting business, which was completely shouting at the top of his voice, resounded throughout the bridge like thunder, and couldn't help but make many crew members look sideways, they didn't know what was going on.

With a sharp gaze, Oletru straightened his chest and abdomen, and said loudly: "Everyone listen! No matter what happens on the home planet, we must rush back, and whoever dares to stand in our way, we will destroy him!"

As soon as this shout was shouted, a warning sound automatically sounded from the bridge.

The high-speed interstellar frigate, which is responsible for the perimeter protection, has always maintained a high degree of vigilance, and all detection instruments and equipment are turned on throughout the process, especially the long-range warning radar, radiation detection sensor, gravitational wave detector, etc., which have been working non-stop.

Gravitational wave detection is very useful because any moving object will produce a specific wavelength, the faster the speed, the more obvious it is, and any object with mass, will produce gravitational waves, and the more massive the gravitational wave, the stronger the gravitational wave.

Therefore, starships can fly optically stealth, silently and do not emit infrared and electromagnetic waves, but there will also be gravitational waves.

Therefore, when the Dragon Soul 01 Star Destroyer controlled by Qin Tian appeared at high speed, they also quickly detected it.

In an instant, the battle alarm sounded.

Oletru did not give the order to slow down, fighting in space, speed is very important, not only can not slow down, but also improve speed to maintain high mobility, in order to better pursue the enemy or dodge the attack.

Speed up again!

The fleet is out!

With the issuance of Olettru's order, the high-speed interstellar frigates distributed on the periphery took the lead in continuously ejecting detection satellites at high speed into the universe.

These one-time detection satellites that can be discarded at any time are like sonar buoys randomly thrown into the sea by anti-submarine planes in order to find the location of enemy submarines in ocean operations.

Exploration satellites fly in multiple directions at extremely high speeds, because there is no air resistance in space, so their high muzzle velocity at the time of launch will remain constant, and with the help of their own propulsion power system, they can fly faster.

At the same time as the large-scale deployment of reconnaissance satellites, the flight hatches of the 4 large starcarriers in the fleet were opened.

The lights flickered and shone brightly.

One after another, space fighters with unique shapes, carrying missiles on their boards, flew out at a very fast speed, and in small formations of two or two, they quickly shuttled through the huge formation, and soon broke away from the fleet formation and went to outer space to carry out combat readiness cruising tasks.

Of course, in addition to the dispatch of space fighters, the entire fleet has also entered a state of response.

The electromagnetic rapid-fire guns and electromagnetic railguns of each heavy interstellar warship have entered a state of readiness, as long as the position of the enemy ship is detected, they can launch a large number of alloy warheads at any time, and the missile silos have also opened their hatches, and all kinds of missiles are ready to be launched at any time.

However......

The enemy ships that appeared at high speed seemed to only flash and disappeared in a moment.

Where will it go?

According to the results of previous detections, it seems that there is only one enemy ship!

Could it be that it is a reconnaissance ship of the enemy's Starfleet?

Strong enemies are infested, and you must not be cautious.

Oletru immediately ordered the dispatch of additional space fighters to strengthen reconnaissance and improve defensive alert.

……

Meanwhile.

After the Dragon Soul 01 interstellar destroyer arrived at a low sub-light speed, it swept in front of the retreating fleet of the Erno Industrial Group at an oblique angle of about 70 degrees, and the distance between the two sides was less than 300,000 kilometers, which means that the other party's probe can find something in less than three seconds.

Deliberately swept at high speed, Qin Tian was not only to startle the snake, but also to obtain first-hand reconnaissance information.

The enemy fleet is menacing and the scale is not small, with 18 interstellar combat ships of various types protecting 5 large starships, in a defensive formation that can be attacked, retreated and defended.

Shout~

While the interstellar destroyer was running at extreme speed, widening the distance between the two sides, the intelligent combat assistance system drew up various combat plans and conducted simulated combat tests, selecting the optimal plan for Qin Tian to choose.

Although the Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyers are advanced and powerful, the number is still too small, and there is only one.

Do you let the opposing fleet fly to the planet of Capora, or rush over and go head-to-head?

It took Qin Tian less than a second to make a decision.

If he was driving the Leng Feng interstellar assault ship, Qin Tian would definitely not single-handedly take on the other party's entire fleet, but now......

Adjust your course!

Horizontal knife immediately, catch whoever kills whom!

The armament system has entered the combat state, and the main cannon and the secondary cannon have all been adjusted in place!

The Dragonsoul-class interstellar destroyer completed a large radius turn at a very fast speed, and maintained a spiral-like flight attitude, taking the enemy fleet as the center of attack, using its high maneuverability and high speed to circle and fly in a circle to launch an attack.

In this way, the interstellar destroyer can not only continuously shorten the distance between it and the opponent, but also continue to maintain a basically constant attack direction, so that the shipboard weapons do not have to move around, adjust the firing direction too frequently, and can maintain high-speed continuous shooting, so that with one interstellar destroyer, it can play the effect of hundreds of warships besieging.

……

In the vast starry sky, within the dark universe.

The dark and deep interstellar destroyer accelerated further, and at the same time, silently aimed one main gun and secondary gun at the port side, and with Qin Tian's order, all the main and secondary guns fired at the same time, firing continuously.

Moment!

Beams of light and energy sped out and galloped towards the enemy fleet.

Unlike electromagnetic weapons and conventional artillery, energy weapon firing produces a strong recoil force, and the stardestroyer's navigation is barely affected, maintaining a high-speed circle attitude while continuously performing high-intensity fire.

The light shines, and death is approaching.

The fleet led by Oletlu, which was sailing rapidly, instantly felt like 'dawn', and the originally dark background of the universe suddenly shone with dazzling light.

Immediately afterwards, it was discovered that in the fleet, there were starships that were hit, and the enemy ships used energy attacks, like laser irradiation, and were hit by the hull of the battleship, and large or small holes appeared in an instant.

White gas erupted, and the fire spread.

Automatic explosion suppression and security systems are quickly activated to isolate all compartments in the damaged area, and then inert gases and extinguishing foam are sprayed to extinguish the fire.

Of course, without Oletru's order, the moment they were attacked, all the space fighters on the periphery quickly pounced in the direction of the energy beam, and the starships immediately poured firepower, one electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon and electromagnetic railgun fired wildly, and kept launching the alloy warhead at the target at a speed of hundreds of times the speed of sound per second.

Moreover, the fleet immediately adjusted its course and further accelerated its pursuit towards the target.

Space engagements, too far away can be very annoying.

Hundreds of thousands of kilometers at every turn, energy weapons will be very popular, because they all fly at the speed of light or sub-light, and they can travel two or three hundred thousand kilometers per second, and the combat distance of one or two million kilometers is only about ten seconds.

In contrast, the alloy warhead launched by an electromagnetic weapon, even if the disloading speed reaches 1,000 times the speed of sound, that is, a thousand Machs, that is only 680 kilometers per second, and it will take nearly 2,950 seconds to fly 2 million kilometers away.

10 seconds and 2950 seconds, the gap between each other is too big.

For the same distance, the enemy's attack will arrive in ten seconds, while the enemy's attack will take longer.

It's like two people standing a hundred meters apart, one is shooting with a gun and the other is throwing stones, who is faster?

What does that mean by a huge gap?

This means that in the same amount of time, the enemy can launch hundreds of attacks on himself, and it also means that the enemy can attack once and then attack again in another place.

Therefore, Oletru can't wait to ask the fleet to move at full speed, which has two advantages, one is that it can shorten the distance with the enemy, shortening the distance means that the attack time can be shortened, and the other advantage is that it can give the launched alloy warhead, a faster muzzle velocity, which can reach a rate of fire of 700 kilometers per second, which is not bad.

Oletrous learned his lesson, and he accelerated the fleet in pursuit of the enemy, without scattering and escaping.

How were many of the more than 100 interstellar warships that had gathered in the outer space of the planet Cabora and were carrying out ground attacks on Bikwell, how were many of them hunted down and destroyed?

It's not all because of scattered escape, but as a result, the flight speed and the rate of fire of weapon attacks are not as fast as others.

It's like an infantry running for their lives on only two legs, being chased by an enemy in a helicopter gunship, and throwing a stone can knock the helicopter down?

Therefore, Oletru strictly ordered the fleet to maintain a formation and speed up the pursuit, he knew that if the enemy wanted to completely destroy them, he would definitely take the initiative to close the combat distance, the distance of one or two million kilometers was too far, although the speed of the energy weapon was fast enough, but if it flew too far, there would also be target deviation, and if you want to hit accurately, you have to get closer.

Come on, come on, fight!

As long as the two sides are close enough, Oletru will have the confidence to make up for the technical disadvantage with numbers and defeat the strong enemy.

But what Oletru couldn't figure out was that as soon as the fleet picked up speed, countless energy beams and lasers shot from the other direction, and the direction kept changing, and it didn't take long for it to feel like it was in a heavy encirclement, with attacks from all sides.

Is this a Shenma situation?

The brilliant fire of a high-speed interstellar frigate in the distance was clearly an attack from the rear of the fleet, how did the enemy do it?
