At the moment when Kami fell into the mouthparts of the mixed body, Xiao Yan and Sonya, who had not witnessed this scene, trembled. A terrifying scene invariably appeared in the minds of the two of them. The boy's flesh was turned into pus, his soul was stripped from his body, and he was immediately entangled in thousands of wriggling tentacles, dragged into the endless abyss.

This...... What a picture this is! Both were frightened. At this moment, a thought rushed into their minds, that is, the secret of the development of the Mandol Field's mobile armor came from the giant ship under their feet, and the evil creatures hidden in this giant ship were waiting to devour the soul and body that could be delicious.

Relying on the brief time that Mandolfil was swallowed, a group of people fled to the upper deck in disarray.

"Look! Transport! The transporter is coming! Midianmaia, who was at the front, was pleased to see three transport planes hurrying towards the deck.

"All board, let's get out of here!" Before the transport plane could stop, Ophelia and Sonia dragged Xiao Yan, whose face was covered in blood, into the cabin, and then shouted at the pilot, "Take off!" ”

Those who survived boarded the plane with lightning speed. The captain didn't say much when he saw them fleeing for their lives, so he pulled up the fuselage and ran out.

"Shhh The indescribable roar resonated like the resonance of many animals, accompanied by the loud sound of steel being torn apart. Countless tentacles burst through the deck, caught a transport plane, and dragged it down.

"Wow, ahhhh The Marines on board were in a mess. A deep crack opened in the ground, and the transporter, which was caught in the tentacles, was immediately dragged into it.

The remaining two transport planes flew into space at full speed. As soon as he got out of the hull of the Enterprise, Xiao Yan felt that the nausea and dizziness in his mind began to subside, and he was gradually able to sit up.

"Look, Titania!" Sonia patted Xiao Yan's arm, "The Enterprise is devouring the wreckage of Titanya!"

Earlier, when Xiao Yan and the others entered the Enterprise, the wreckage of the battleship's hull that was smashed into two sections was floating in space. But at this moment, the huge wreckage has been attached to the city-like hull, and the metal at the edges is not even seamless.

Originally, the giant ship consisted of a core hull and a number of slender and curved branches. After absorbing Titanya, Xiao Yan had another "tentacle" on the giant ship in front of them.

"Knight," Lieutenant Commander Ferron, the captain of the Oscar, appeared on the communication screen, "I've finally been able to contact you." The concentration of N neutrons in this region suddenly and dramatically increased, and I suggest that the exploration be suspended for the time being. ”

"Agree with you, Captain," Xiao Yan wiped the blood from his face, "You also see what is in front of you." ”

"See, it's like a spider preying on insects, is this ghost ship a 'living' thing?"

"I have a lot of questions like you," Xiao Yan looked back at the giant ship with its squirming tentacles, "but it's important to flee for your life now." ”

The Enterprise, with its rings and horned branches, devoured Titania, silently and eerily in the dark depths of space, waiting for its next prey.

……

"What happened? Knight? You guys ended a few hours earlier than planned. Violet, the captain of the Brenshire, asked, the red-haired co-captain standing beside her.

"The ghost ship itself devoured the wreckage of Titania, and its interior was inhabited by a terrifying monster that had eaten Mandolfil and many of us." Xiao Yan stood in front of the communication screen of the Oscar, and said simply with a pale face, "Since the original goal has disappeared, I hope to arrange a shuttle to take Miss Senator to Croha." ”

"If the route is safe, I'll arrange it at once," said the blonde captain, "but for now I suggest you join us as soon as possible aboard the Oscar." The Trade Federation's fleet is blockading the nearby Celestial Domain, and communication between these systems and the capital planet Kloha has been disrupted. ”

In this way, Xiao Yan and the others took the high-speed light cruiser Oscar for a while, and then returned to the Burrenshire.

The battlecruiser found a meteorite belt to hide and was repairing the damaged hull. Several smaller ships arrived from elsewhere to join the Brenhill battle group.

"The current situation is," Vice Captain Faphnir said to the officers about the current situation, "our 3rd Fleet has been attacked, the flagship Giorno Joan has sunk, the fleet commander and captain have sunk with the ship, and the remnants of the fleet, including the light cruiser Azore, and 4 Star Destroyers have arrived to join the fleet. The command ordered that Captain Mujel be promoted to rear admiral of the Space Fleet for his exploits in the raid on Anduin and the sinking of Titanya, and that the remaining forces of the Burrenshire, Helo, and Oscar and the remaining forces of the 3rd Fleet form the Berenshire Battle Group, under the unified command of Rear Admiral Mujel. It was necessary to break through the enemy fleet at any cost and go to Azyakin to join the main fleet. ”

"Hmm~" The officers present all had serious faces. The annihilated Third Fleet had one battleship and was stronger than the Burrenhill battle group. Their demise means that the enemy is very strong.

However, those present did not seem to have any opinion about Captain Mugel's command. Lieutenant Commander Ferron, the captain of the USS Oscar, asked, "How many enemies do we need to face?" ”

Lieutenant Commander Ozares, commander of the light cruiser Azores, said: "The fleet attacking us includes the 6th, 7th and 11th Fast Squadrons of the Trade Federation. We've done some damage to them as well, but the Trade Alliance fleet still has a lot of troops. Among them, the 6th Sentai has the battleship Qianwei, the escort aircraft carrier Huns, 2 light cruisers, and 4 frigates; The 7th Sentai has the battleship Kokang, the escort carrier Xianbei, 2 light cruisers and 4 frigates; The 11th Rapid Squadron consisted of the battle cruiser USS Hood, the heavy cruiser USS Seawolf and 1 light cruiser. ”

"This is the configuration of the high-speed fleet to contain and kill the main fleet with one hit~" Captain Warren Haydn, captain of the Harrow, Captain Faelon, and the captains of several Star Destroyers all looked solemn when they heard this.

Captain Warren Haydn, the captain of the Harrow, was a handsome silver-haired man, he thought for a moment and said: "The balance of power between us and foe is 2:0 for battleships, 2:0 for aircraft carriers, 1:1 for battlecruisers, 1:1 for heavy cruisers, 4:2 for light cruisers, and 8:4 for star destroyers. Our army is at an overwhelming disadvantage. ”

"That's true," Lieutenant Commander Ozarez nodded, "the 3rd Fleet was entangled in the Hood, and it was not able to escape the enemy's pursuit, and then it was flanked by the other two fleets and destroyed. Admiral Mugel, the disparity between the forces of the enemy and us is too great, and I suggest that the whole army disperse and break through, otherwise it will only repeat the mistakes of the 3rd Fleet! ”

"Scattered breakout?!" Hearing this suggestion, the entire bridge was in an uproar.

The structure of a space battleship dictates that one end of the ship must be used to house the propulsion engine. No matter how powerful the battleship itself was, the part of the engine that was not covered by armor was a fatal heel.

Once the shield is broken by the front and rear in combat, the defenseless engine will be quickly destroyed, and the ship will lose power and be slaughtered like a useless dead fish.

Therefore, the battleships scattered and breaking through could not hold out for long in the face of an organized enemy force without the cover of wingmen.

However, the difference in strength between the enemy and our fleet is so large that there is no way to fight, and even if everyone breaks through in a group, it will be difficult to escape death.
