166 Lure the enemy deeper

Fourteen days later, the border node, the star system Venn.

At this moment, the army of the Sierra Empire is resting, but Basel is very cautious, he does not do it like the Kabat Empire, but in many batches, so that the fleet can maintain its combat capability to the greatest extent.

After all, anything can happen in an interstellar war, and as a qualified general, no matter what the situation, letting your guard down is a major dereliction of duty!

It can be said that if an enemy comes to attack at this time, the army of the Sierra Empire will not be affected too much combat effectiveness.

Venn II in orbit, a 15-million-ton heavy battleship.

"Adjutant, how long will it take for the soldiers to complete their rest?"

"General Basel, according to the current progress, it is estimated that there will be ten days to complete the rest plan!"

"Very well, order the fleet not to let its guard down and be ready for battle at all times!"

"Yes, Admiral Basel!"

Before the Combined Fleet set out for Vane, Lin Fan, Liang Xingchen, and Elena had studied the Sierra army that was currently occupying Vane.

The strict formation and cautious posture made the three of them understand that the commander of the other party must be a very old general, and it is very likely that the sneak attack will not be able to achieve the desired results, and even have the opposite effect if they are not careful.

After all, the huge number is there, and there are nearly 120,000 fourth-level civilization warships.

For Liang Xingchen and Lin Fan, what they want is not to win, but to win at the lowest cost.

The current population of the human race is like this, and they can't afford to lose too much, they are not comparable to the Io Federation, if they lose a few legions, they will be able to gather enough people to rebuild these legions in no time.

Therefore, the coalition forces directly abandoned the option of sneak attack, and instead adopted the combat method of luring the enemy into depth, and the Queen's Guards Corps staged a play, completely taking advantage of the speed difference between the Serra Imperial warship and the Babawi Imperial foreign trade warship, and luring its 120,000 shield warships out first to encircle and annihilate!

As mentioned earlier, Vane is one of the three nodes bordering the Iodian Federation and the Sierra Empire, and the two nodes on its side are Aldor and Finn.

According to the data transmitted back by the monitoring equipment, it can be found that the army of Sierra has not established defensive lines in various Star Paths, and it is probably that its commander thinks that it is better to disperse their forces to various Star Paths than to gather together.

After all, there are 6 Star Paths in Vane, and the strength in his hands is absolutely crushing for the Io Federation.

Therefore, Basel didn't want to give the Io Federation any opportunity to take advantage of because of the division of troops, if someone really attacked through the way of the stars, he only needed to lead a large army to suppress it.

And this situation made Lin Fan and others see an opportunity to take advantage of!

At the exit of Vane and Aldor's Star Path, the void contracted, and 3,000 warships appeared.

This situation was caught by the Serra army at the first time!

"Admiral Basel, at the exit of the Star Road in the direction of Aldo, there are warships of the Io Federation, the number is 3,000!"

"Huh? Aldo direction? ”

"Yes, General Basel.. The intelligence has been updated, and now there are 3,000 more ships, and the number is 6,000! ”

Basel frowned, the situation was a bit unexpected.

Aldo is 5.6 light years away from Vaen, and it takes nearly 2 years to walk the path of the stars, could it be that the fleet that set out from Aldor 2 years ago has just arrived?

Is it a change of guard mission? If they really set off 2 years ago, then they may not have received the news of the fall of Vane by now, after all, it has only been more than a month.

No matter why you came, there is no reason not to stay since you have come.

"Order all the soldiers on the planet to return to the battleship at once, and in twenty minutes the fleet will attack, heading towards the path of the Aldo Star."

"Yes, Admiral Basel."

At the exit of the Star Road in the direction of Aldo, the rhythm is still maintained, with 3,000 warships appearing every half a minute.

Twenty minutes later, when the Sierra army began to dispatch, the number of warships of the Io Federation at the exit of the Star Path had reached 120,000, as if they had discovered that something was wrong, and began to hurriedly deploy in the direction of the Serra Empire's army!

When Basel saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that it must have been the fleet that had set out from Aldo a few years earlier, and with bad luck, it arrived just in time for the fall of Vane.

However, the Sierra army was not close to the Star Way in the direction of Aldor, and the fleet used to take a full hour, and it was impossible to immediately attack the fleet of the Io Federation.

More than thirty minutes later, the number of warships of the Io Federation had reached 200,000, and at this time, the entire fleet abandoned the defensive formation and fled in the direction of Aura (that is, the direction of Bernice's retreat) Star Road.

"General Basel, the other party should have all gone out of the way of the stars, with a total number of 200,000, and is currently fleeing in the direction of the entrance of the way of the Aura star, and it is expected to arrive at the entrance of the way of the aura in forty minutes! At the current marching speed of the fleet, it is impossible to catch up! ”

Listening to the adjutant's debriefing, Basel frowned again.

He can understand the other party's operation, after all, the warships of the Io Federation are very fast, they can reach a speed of 8,000 kilometers per second, which is about the same as the speed of the Serra Empire.

This is a very normal choice without knowing that you have the Royal Guards (a legion established by the Serra Empire using the foreign trade warships of the Babawi Empire), after all, normally, we will not be able to catch up and intercept it.

However, with a near-invincible Royal Guard fleet in his hands, the situation is completely different, he can completely stop the opponent, and then come back and forth to completely defeat them!

"Order the Royal Guard to start their engines at once, catch up, and stop me before they reach the entrance to the Aura Star Way!"

"Yes, Admiral Basel!"

After all, the battleships of the Royal Guards can reach speeds of up to 30,000 kilometers per second, and it is relatively easy to stop the other party!

Soon, the Royal Guard flotilla relied on its terrifying speed to shake off the main fleet in the rear and sail at high speed in the direction of the entrance to the Aura Star Way!

More than thirty minutes later, the Royal Guards fleet of the Sierra Empire was the first to arrive at the predetermined position, with its back to the entrance of the Aura Star Road, and set up an interception array! The path of the Io Federation fleet into the path of the stars was completely sealed.

At this moment, the fleet of the Io Federation was less than 3 million kilometers away from the entrance of the Star Path, but this fleet did not immediately change course and flee to other Star Paths as Basel expected.

Instead, they fired at the Royal Guards at the entrance to the Way of the Stars.

This made Basel a little puzzled, did he want to rush in?

The more you think about Basel, the more likely it is.
