Chapter 172: Vigilance

"Commander, the ground combat body is completely destroyed!"

Bocaul, who was staring at the three-dimensional sand table, heard the words of his subordinates, and his demeanor paused obviously, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his usual simple response.

"yes, I see."

The effectiveness of the ground combat body Bocauer is very clear, but it is precisely because he knows enough that he will be surprised by their total annihilation, from Bocaul's point of view, after the ground combat body lands in the operation, the rest is just to open the matchless.

Bocauer carefully recalled the enemy information he had received from Marven, and it was natural that he could not find an opponent capable of contending with his ground combat body.

"That is, a new breed of monster ......"

"Bring up the Combat Body Information Records, and I want to know how they were destroyed."

"Yes!"

The next moment, a record of information about the battle between the rhizome and the ground combat body was uploaded to Bokauer.

However, this information does not allow Bocauer to intuitively see the opponent who is engaged with the ground combat body, not to mention the interference of the ground combat body's high mobility on the information recording, and then Hogu's use of gel material to block the ground combat body's action capability, which caused serious interference to the information recording function of the combat body.

From Bocaul's point of view, the situation behind the ground combat body is that the screen suddenly goes black, and then it is inexplicably damaged, and what destroyed them is not known at all.

Either way, it's certain that an unknown enemy is being fought, so Bocaul has another thing in mind.

"Is it restraint in phase? Or is it simply a crushing of ability? ”

This question was on the minds of Bocaul, as it would inevitably be an obstacle to their efforts to rescue the colony.

It's okay to say that it is relative restraint, but once it is crushed by ability, it means that when rescuing those imperial people on the planet, it is necessary to face an enemy that is more terrible than the ground combat body - Bocauer is not naΓ―ve enough to think that the enemy will obediently let them save the people on the planet.

"Wait...... Save? ”

Bocauer suddenly realized that something was wrong, you know, although the power of a colony outside of the empire's home planet was very strong, it was still far from the sub-light railgun.

For example, if a person jumps a long jump to an inhuman distance of 1,000 meters, it may be easy to jump 500 meters.

In the past, it was thought that the colony had rebelled and intended to secede and become independent, so I didn't think about it, but since there was really an enemy, the kind of industrial strength displayed by the colony had no reason to support it for so long.

Because of the need to deal with the enemy information given by Marven, it is only now that Bocauer is aware of this problem.

What is the enemy's purpose in doing this? Since it was an attack on the Empire, it should be a matter of course to kill all the colonies......

The absence of an immediate capture means that the empire's colonies still have value, and the question is what the value is......

Here you can try the comparison method, compare the difference between 'the colony destroyed' and 'keep the colony', and then you can deduce the enemy's purpose, that is, ......

…… Fourth Fleet!?

The thoughts flashed in his mind, and he quickly sorted out the information one by one, and Bokauer's face gradually became darker and darker.

Regardless of whether the colony will be destroyed or not, the Fourth Fleet will go to the alien planet to investigate the situation, but the fleet's behavior will be different after arriving at the alien planet, the colony will be retained, the fleet will consider the rescue, and if it is destroyed, even if the fleet wants to get close to the alien planet, it will first have an ultra-long-distance saturated full-coverage surface strike on the surface.

"How is this possible?!"

Bocaul, who had figured it out, couldn't help but lose his voice, attracting the inexplicable gaze of the bridge operators.

Normally, Bocauer still pays great attention to his appearance, after all, he is the commander of the fleet, but now he has no heart to care about this.

The Fourth Fleet is different from the first three generations of the Empire's fleet, which is a combined fleet composed of multiple mothership classes and conventional warships, and it also symbolizes the Empire's unparalleled absolute authority, and is a symbol of force and absolute invincibility.

According to Bocaul's idea, when the enemy sees this power, he should realize how powerless and small he is, and can only make useless resistance in vain, and then be destroyed by them, or burn in despair.

But now there are signs that the enemy seems to have some way to dismantle the Fourth Fleet, which symbolizes 'invincibility' in the Empire, which is why Bocaul was speechless just now.

"Command the fleet, activate Reservation Plan No. 2."

"Roger!"

Staring at the alien star in the three-dimensional sand table, Bocauer tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"You don't understand what you're facing, it's the Empire's 'invincible' fleet, why do you think you can break the Empire's 'invincible'?"

After the order was given, there was an unusual movement in the Fourth Fleet as a whole.

The first to change was the mothership class, the core of the organization, with a giant cannon muzzle of caliber similar to that of a football field, slowly turning to point at the planet opposite them, and the hatch opened, revealing the popping sound of the internal mount.

Then came the change of long-range fireships and escort ships, which changed their original layout and marched forward, while maintaining their original firepower output, like soldiers rushing out of their trenches at the sound of a charge.

At the forefront, warships such as autonomous ships and destroyers are also gradually moving forward, shortening the distance between the battle lines little by little.

"That's not going to work."

Hogu locked onto the mothership class that stayed where it was, and remained relatively stationary with the planet, that was his target, but other than that, the other units of the Alien Fourth Fleet were not considered a threat.

The output of long-range fireships such as battleships and cruisers is indeed strong, but it is limited, and their total tonnage limits their bomb load, and it is destined to be impossible to deal with planet-level opponents.

Destroyers, autonomous ships and other frigates, their firepower is weaker, and they can only threaten large ships such as battleships and cruisers, and the size of motherships and twilight is as powerless as flies.

Once the mothership class is completely destroyed, this cosmic battle will be over, and Hogu's side will win.

But on the other hand, if the aliens save all the population of the colony, or find that something is wrong, they directly give up the rescue and decide to sacrifice a colony, and they will destroy the planet at all costs, which means that the aliens win.

Under the control of Huo Gu's will, the firepower projected from the ground to outer space increased sharply, and the Fourth Fleet was forced to stop in an instant.

"Come on, let me see your options......"

"Is it close? Still not close? ”
