Next to the wreck of the Longsword, a dark blue medium-sized battleship was slowly rotating around the wreckage.

As it rotates, the ship's head continuously activates a detection field to collect a variety of data from the wreckage.

This battleship is Zhang Yuan's proprietary battleship, called Xinghai, every detail of which is equipped with the most advanced technology that Heyue has, although most of the performance of this battleship, especially the power performance is inferior to Wang Qianyuan's Longsword, but there are some functions that are unique to Heyue.

For example, the deep diving mode, the mimic protection mode, the analysis power of the battleship's main control brain, etc., all surpass the highest level of the Crimson Empire.

After about 10 minutes, Xinghai had collected enough information, and with the support of the powerful computing power of the main control brain, the analysis results were almost synchronous.

"Lord Governor, no remnants of organic life have been found, and multiple tunnel-shaped quantum teleportation aftermaths have been found in the nearby space, and analysis shows that the target battleship passenger teleported and escaped half a second before the battleship was damaged, with a 99.74% probability of teleportation distance between 9.8 and 10.2 light-years, and a direction vector of ......."

The main control brain gave quite accurate data, and before it could finish reporting, Zhang Yuan issued an order: "Start jumping immediately and catch up!" ”

The Long Sword was damaged, Wang Qianyuan's strength dropped greatly, and they are catching up now, even if they can't kill Wang Qianyuan, those red-clothed dragon guards on the ship can always clean up some.

Every red-clothed dragon guard is a doomsday-level powerhouse, and those who can follow Wang Qianyuan to hunt him down must be the elite of the red-clothed dragon guards. Every death of such a super guy is a huge loss.

"Hum ~" The Xinghai battleship immediately turned on the quantum engine, and after 2 seconds, the battleship entered the quantum state.

After another three seconds, the battleship appeared 10 light-years away from the wreckage of the Longsword.

Although the range determined by the previous analysis results is accurate, it still has a range of 0.4 light years, which is amazing for a battleship, and it is simply a needle in a haystack to find the mecha warriors scattered among them with the scanning machine of a battleship.

If it was replaced by Wang Qianyuan, he would definitely have given up the pursuit.

But now the chasing party is Zhang Yuan, for him, the star field he is now in has always belonged to Heyue Province, long before the imperial capital declared war, Heyue has already arranged a large number of specially developed passive detectors in this star field.

This detector is called a fruit fly and is very small, less than 5 meters. There are a lot of them, with an average of one per 10 light minutes. The location is also very deliberate, deliberately deviating from the safe course and placing it in areas full of stardust and asteroids.

Each 'fruit fly' is equipped with a variety of camouflage, some disguised as an asteroid, some disguised as a battleship wreck, and some simply optically invisible.

After the start of the war, fruit flies are occasionally discovered, although there are also phenomena that are specifically excluded by opponents, but because the base is too large, the exclusion rate is pitiful.

After the Xinghai jumped to the target star field, Zhang Yuan immediately issued a new order: "Send a curvature acceleration wave!" ”

The curvature acceleration wave is a kind of detection wave, which is very different from the mental wave with an almost infinite speed, and its principle is to accelerate the curvature of ordinary electromagnetic waves with a specific device, and then propagate in all directions after specific encoding.

The reason why we don't use spirit waves with infinite speed and penetrating power is because this technology has been developed to the extreme, and it is abused to make it easy for fruit flies to receive and send spirit waves.

And because the acceleration entity is an electromagnetic wave, the degree of acceleration can be set very high, and after acceleration, the propagation speed of these coded waves can reach 5000C, far exceeding the upper limit of 1000C for warp flight of warship. At a distance of 10 optical divisions, 5000C is sufficient.

Once these curvature acceleration waves are sent, they are quickly picked up by surrounding fruit fly detectors.

The fruit fly verifies the secret code carried in the curvature acceleration wave, and if the verification is successful, the detector will send a special signal back to the sender of the warp acceleration wave if it detects an anomalous energy response in nearby space.

The special activation wave, a simple and discreet feedback method, can ensure the safety of the fruit fly detector itself; Second, it can ensure the reliability of the feedback effect; Thirdly, it can also ensure that fruit flies are not used by opponents to the greatest extent.

After about 5 seconds, the Star Sea battleship received a full 173 feedback echoes.

These echo information, combined with the grid-format virtual star map on the Star Sea battleship, only 10 seconds, the main control brain calculated the specific location of the abnormal energy fluctuation, accurate to 2 light seconds!

Zhang Yuan stared at the calculation results of the main control brain, and frowned slightly: "A divergent road map, no quantum jumps again, all warp speed flight mode, 27 routes...... It seems that Wang Qianyuan has let all the survivors move forward separately. So, which one is Wang Qianyuan himself? ”

The fruit fly feedback results alone are not enough to judge Wang Qianyuan's escape route.

Zhang Yuan no longer has any other sources of information, he can't determine which one is Wang Qianyuan, so he can only bet on luck, and the probability of betting right is one in twenty-seven, less than four percent.

That's not high.

The wind chime was also on the battleship, and he glanced at Zhang Yuan: "Mentor, bet on luck?"

"There's no need. Just clear the field. Zhang Yuan shook his head.

There are 27 escape routes, except for one of Wang Qianyuan's, the others are the elite of the red-clothed dragon guards, and killing one more is earning, if you meet Wang Qianyuan, it will naturally be the best. If you can't touch it, it's not a loss.

After that, Zhang Yuan randomly selected a chase according to the detected escape route.

Although the performance of the Xinghai is not as good as that of the Long Sword, it is also quite awesome, and the ability to run away far exceeds that of the mecha. The detection performance and analysis capabilities of the Xinghai are even more than those of the Longsword, as long as it is within 5 light-seconds distance of the close battleship, unless it adopts the deep stealth mode and flies by inertia, it will be accurate to see one at a glance.

Moreover, even if it is a deep stealth mode, it will have to be exposed after a long time, and the analysis ability of the main control brain of the Star Ocean is not covered.

As a result, this way to chase and kill, one chase and one accurate!

Determine the route, quantum jump, detect the side and lock the target, if it is Wang Qianyuan, then Zhang Yuan will fight in person. If it's a red-clothed dragon guard, then let the wind chimes practice.

27 routes, after 1 hour of pursuit, all of them are hunted and killed, except for one route where no target is found, the other routes generally have 1 or 2 red-clothed dragon guards.

The wind chime is now also the lower stage of the God of War, what is lacking is only actual combat experience, of course, Wang Qianyuan is far from being an opponent, but she can easily deal with these doomsday-level powerhouses.

All the way down, none of the red-clothed dragon guards ran away, and they all practiced with the wind chimes.

"Kill 50 Red-Coated Dragonguards. Harvested 27 doomsday upper stage mechas, 3 doomsday peak mechas, and did not find Wang Qianyuan and Zhang Yun. The probe revealed that they had been picked up by a spaceship...... These two guys are running fast! Feng Chime said angrily that she had already prepared for a big fight, but she was disappointed that she encountered small fish all the way.

Zhang Yuan smiled and comforted: "The number of red-clothed dragon guards in the imperial capital does not exceed 2,000, and they are all elites at once, and this loss is big enough." Moreover, this responsibility must be borne by Wang Qianyuan, and after he goes back, life will definitely be difficult. ”

Feng Chime's anger calmed down slightly: "Mentor, what should I do next?" ”

"There are still many reconnaissance ships in the imperial capital in this star field, and we will continue to chase and kill."

"Good!" The wind chime answered, and suddenly asked again: "Mentor, you said that the Imperial Army is in a hurry, will you use the warp speed to fly in?" ”

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said, "Maybe." But if they do that, their strength advantage will be immediately reduced by 40%, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to say who will win and who will lose. ”

At present, only the warships of the imperial capital and Heyue have the technology of warp speed flight, and the general voyage technology of warships in other provinces still relies on quantum jumping.

According to the information obtained by Lu Meng, among the 108 fleets, there are 64 fleets in the imperial capital, accounting for 60%, and they use warp speed to fly far into Heyue, which is a typical lone army.

In this case, the imperial capital's military superiority was greatly reduced, not to mention, and the supply capacity was basically equal to zero. No commander with a little brain would take such a huge risk for his own fleet.

Of course, this is only a theoretical deduction, and the actual situation still depends on specific information. But even if the supreme commander of the imperial capital was dizzy, Ha Yue had already prepared for a decisive battle.

Wind Chime thought about it, and felt that her worries were a little unnecessary, so she didn't think about it anymore.

In the time that followed, the master and apprentice, plus more than 40 blue soldiers on the Xinghai, once again roamed around in this combat zone, and when they encountered the Imperial reconnaissance ship, they were beaten mercilessly.

In three days, the Xinghai destroyed more than 20 imperial reconnaissance ships, they did not leave prisoners, all the imperial soldiers were killed, and more than 6,000 people were killed, plus the previous killings, the imperial soldiers who died in the hands of the Xinghai have exceeded 16,000 people.

The Imperial Army seemed to be scared of being killed, and the reconnaissance ships were becoming fewer and fewer, and it was becoming more and more difficult to find.

By the fourth day, the Xinghai had only found three reconnaissance ships, and in the last six hours, no trace of the new reconnaissance ship had been found.

In this case, Zhang Yuan began to close his eyes and recuperate, and the wind chime was also a little lacking in interest, so he simply went to the back cabin of the battleship to find the blue warriors to learn combat skills.

Time passed minute by minute, and about 3 hours later, the main control brain of the Xinghai issued a prompt: "Ding~Ding~ Clues to the enemy ship have been found!" ”

"Track it now." Zhang Yuan immediately ordered, he took a nap just now, and the fatigue accumulated from the pursuit of the reconnaissance ship for many days was swept away, and the whole person was very sober.

Wind Chimes heard movement in the rear cabin and immediately returned to the cockpit: "Mentor, have you found a new mouse again?" ”

Zhang Yuan nodded: "I found a clue, and I'm still locating...... Hmm~ This reconnaissance ship is cunning, and it has been flying close to the Arcturus Nebula...... He turned into Yunwan, probably to find our fleet, go, and follow. ”

The Xinghai followed the clues left by the reconnaissance ship and followed Yunwan all the way.

The entrance to this cloud bay is very narrow, and it is also a narrow passage, the widest part of the passage is less than 3 light seconds, and when viewed from the battleship's holographic screen, it seems that there is a bottomless pit ahead.

The Starsea followed the trail and flew for a distance of about 3 light-seconds.

Zhang Yuan suddenly felt that something was wrong, and ordered the battleship's main control brain to say: "Slow down, pause tracking!" ”

Wind Chime asked, "Mentor, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Yuan groaned: "This Yunwan passage is about 1 light minute deep, and there are often starry sky beasts in the passage. With such a terrain, you can see at a glance that it is not suitable for any military arrangement, so why should the opposing reconnaissance ship go inside? ”

Wind Chime nodded: "I think it's a little weird too." Mentor, this cloud bay is like a canyon, the easiest to ambush, do you think it will be a trap inside? ”

"There is this possibility, but there is another possibility." The thoughts in Zhang Yuan's mind flew rapidly.

"What is possible?"

"The terrain is so remote that we almost ignored it. Also, although it is a little narrower, there may be another space inside, perhaps large enough to fit the Imperial fleet. ”

"You mean, the Imperial fleet jumped into this?" Wind Chime looked at the holographic screen: "It's only 3 light-years away from the Arcturus Nebula Channel. If the Imperial fleet jumps here and builds a new stronghold here, it will be a big problem! ”

After a few discussions, Zhang Yuan had already come up with a solution.

"Master the brain, exit Yunwan. At the same time, an unmanned warship was launched to enter Yunwan for exploration. ”

"Yes!"

Both commands are executed at the same time.

"Hum~" A small battleship with remote control continued to move along the passage, and the scene detected by this battleship was fed back to the screen of the Xinghai battleship in real time.

......................

When the Xinghai cautiously probed the situation of this nameless cloud bay, in the dark nebula near the cloud bay, a purple-black battleship was slowly levitating.

The style of this battleship is very unique, and those who understand it will know at a glance that it is the creation of the Dark Shura Kingdom.

Inside the battleship, the Nine Heavenly Demon Leon stared closely at the situation in the Yunwan Passage, and when he saw the Xinghai retreating from the passage, he sighed in disappointment, opened the communication, and said, "General Wang, look, your proposed lure plan has failed. You see, Zhang Yuan is very cautious, any trick will not work, you can only use my method. ”

There were two 'zizi' sounds in the communication, and then Wang Qianyuan's voice sounded: "To be honest, your plan is not much better." I don't believe that he, the governor of a province, would make a mistake in judgment for the sake of a woman! ”

Leon spread his hands, pressed and held the communication button, temporarily turned off the communication, and said to his disciple Dilivo standing beside him: "This guy is really an old stubborn. ”

Dilivo's eyes kept on the detection screen of the Star Sea, his eyes burning, and his mind recalled from time to time the failures he had encountered in the Star Sea Corridor.

That was five years ago, when he was young and vigorous, and at that time, the current Governor of Kawakoshi was just a talented teenager.

That night, he was defeated, and his cronies' troops were killed. The shame of defeat echoed in his heart day and night. Now that he has been promoted to the God of War realm, it's time for revenge!

Suddenly the voice of the mentor sounded in his ears, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted: "Indeed, the brain of the surnamed Wang is a stone." ”

Leon saw the disciple's distraction, and he also guessed his thoughts, and reached out and patted the other party's shoulder: "Don't worry, it won't be long before you can be ashamed!" ”

"Yes, I understand."

Leon opened the communication again and said to Wang Qianyuan: "General Wang, no matter whether you succeed or fail, it doesn't hurt to try." Besides, I'll listen to you once, and you will listen to me once, that's fair. ”

"Okay, then use your plan!"
