The scorpion swarm did not take the initiative to attack, but surrounded the entire fleet from afar. Although it took a bit long and gave the fleet a second chance to fire from its long-range firepower, the Scorpion Scorpion suffered far less losses this time than the last time.

The major general stared at the countless points of light on the radar, and there was also some fear in his heart. He thought that this battle might be very difficult to fight, but he wanted a head-on collision with other advanced civilizations, not to be defeated by disgusting bugs with sheer numerical superiority. However, fortunately, there was no movement in the rear of the fleet, and the communication with the supply fleet was still smooth. As long as there is no enemy in his rear, the major general is confident that he will use kite tactics to delay time as much as possible.

The second long-range firepower had just ended, and the scorpion swarm had finally launched an attack. To the surprise of the major general, the scorpion swarm did not rush up in a chaotic manner, but drew a part of the large army and attacked first.

The fleet's near-fire power is not vegetarian, the scorpion swarm has not yet entered the firing range, and the powerful computing power of the microbrain has firmly locked all the scorpion scorpions of this fire reconnaissance.

The rapid-fire laser cannon poured out an incomparably powerful fury into the air, and for a moment beams of various colors flew towards the target. Since the end of Star War II, it has not been a long time since the Evanor Starfleet has seen all its melee guns firing at the same time.

The beam accurately hits each scorpion, and the energy contained in it is far from the weak firepower of the reconnaissance plane, like a fiery sword piercing from the head of the scorpion to the tail, leaving a blood hole in the scorpion's body, even if the scorpion is not killed on the spot, it will be burned into a corpse in the heat left by the beam.

In just half a minute, the fire reconnaissance force of the scorpion swarm was completely annihilated, and the fleet was cheering. In order not to disturb the high morale of the crew, the major general also smiled reluctantly, and he should be encouraged. But the rear admiral understood that in this first wave of contact, although he knew that the Scorpion's own defense was not enough to resist the power of the laser cannon, the Scorpion also understood the defenses and shortcomings of the fleet.

Then the Scorpion redeployed, unlike the first attack on the Scorpion, which was an all-round attack on the defensive circle of the fleet, this time the Scorpion took a focused attack. The scorpion swarm was divided into several large groups, the least four of which launched a focused attack from four opposite directions, and the remaining scorpion swarm remained stationary in the distance.

The spherical array put out by the fleet has the advantage of all-round equal defensive firepower, and there is no way to say which defense will have loopholes, which makes the spherical array the longest and most frequent formation of the entire fleet in the unknown area, and it is handy and comfortable in the face of unexpected situations. However, this is also a major disadvantage, because the firepower of the fleet is too scattered, resulting in a little insufficient firepower in the face of key attacks from several directions, in previous battles, if the spherical array collides with the ambushed square array, the hemispherical array will fall behind.

The Scorpion Swarm's current multi-force focused attack is still a form of fire reconnaissance, intended to understand the firepower apex of the fleet in the face of attacks from multiple directions. As long as a scorpion breaks through the fire layer and touches the shield of the destroyers on the perimeter, then the next step is to multiply the force in that direction.

The second wave of attacks clearly increased the pressure on the fleet. The crew no longer had the joyful atmosphere just now, and threw themselves wholeheartedly into the battle. But as far as the second wave of the offensive is concerned, the defense of the fleet is still able to hold out.

The scorpion swarm realized the feasibility of its method and committed exponentially increasing forces in the next few waves of attacks. The fleet's firepower began to stretch, the outermost destroyer had lost more than half, the corrosive saliva of the scorpions caused the battleship's shields to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye, and several destroyers that lost control staggered out of combat positions on top of the scorpions crawling all over their bodies, and were eaten by the scorpions. The number of fighters of the aviation battleships also dropped sharply and was already less than a quarter of what it was before the battle.

"Damn it! Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet! Without saying a word, the cleaning robot finished cleaning up the fragments of the teacup at the feet of the Major General. Judging from the time the distress signal was issued, they had been holding out for more than ten hours. However, the expected reinforcement fleet was never seen, and when they tried to contact the headquarters, they found that the communication system was subject to unexplained electromagnetic interference. The entire fleet is now on its own. The crew is not comparable to the microbrain, people need to rest, after such a long period of fatigue fighting, the crew as long as there is a little free opportunity to lie down and rest for a while.

"Uh, the Rasmobian, my ship's radar is showing a large scorpion swarm behind us, please check if it's my ship's radar that is malfunctioning." In between battles, Zoya received a message from his subordinate microbrain. It was only when she remembered that she cared too much about the enemy in front of her, but neglected the rear, which had always been safe and sound, but was quite important.

Almost at the same time, an urgent communication from the captain of the fleet came from the supply fleet: "Help, help, we are under heavy attack!" They, they can't be killed. Our escort destroyers are all finished, and without reinforcements, we will be wiped out in ten minutes! ”

The shocking news stunned everyone on the bridge of the Rasmobian. The rear admiral collapsed in his seat, and at this time he realized what a stupid mistake he had made, and actually let the supply ship out of the main force according to the usual habitual thinking (after the Second Interstellar War, the officers were taught to withdraw the supply ship from the battle column so that these obstructive ships would not affect the main battle), but unlike the Navik fleet, which blindly pursued a frontal attack, the bugs did not care about any humanitarianism, as long as they could inflict a fatal blow on the opponent, the bugs would definitely do it.

"Quick! Send ten cruisers to reinforcements at once! The rear admiral, recovering from the shock, jumped up and shouted so loudly that all the officers on the bridge looked at him at the same time.

"General, please calm down, if we rashly divide our forces to support the supply fleet now, it will only accelerate the collapse of the defensive line." Zhuoya changed her respect for the major general in the morning, and she was more like a machine at this time. That's because she shuts down her emotional system at the start of the battle and devotes more resources to the weapon system and piloting system, which has the added benefit that she doesn't act like a normal creature, and all her actions are based on careful calculations.

"Zoya, I order you to return the command of the fleet to me, or I will completely format you for treason!" The rear admiral wanted to give orders to the cruiser with his own command module, but found out that the cruiser did not listen to his command at all.

"General, I know that your son is serving on a supply ship, but now is not the time to be affected by family affection, please calm down!"

"You fart! Lao Tzu is very calm, if you don't return my command, then okay, I'll drive a fighter plane to the rescue myself! After doing some futile work, the major general was so angry that he walked directly to the hatch.

"You probably won't be able to go anywhere." Before the Major General had taken two steps, the hatch was tightly closed, and no matter what the Major General tried, he could not open it.

"In view of your physical condition, Ben Microbrain has made the following decision to you: 'Deprive you of command for the time being, let me take over the command, and until the battle is over, the rear admiral is only allowed to stay in the bridge, and nothing else!' ”

The crew on the bridge watched in amazement as the guards strapped the fleet commander to his seat, but according to the Evano Starfleet regulations, Microbrain had the authority to take over the command if the commander lost his mind. If the commander acts detrimental to the fleet, the microbrain can take the necessary measures to control the commander. So even though the crew deeply sympathized with the major general, no one took the initiative to stand up for the major general.

"All the remaining ships, report on the amount of fuel you have left." Zoya counted the fuel of each battleship, and the situation was not optimistic, the battleship with the least fuel will be incapacitated within two hours, and more battleships will run out of fuel in the future. Unlike human society, which only supplies engines, Starfleet fuel also needs to provide power for warships, support life systems, shield systems, weapon systems and many other aspects. Once the fuel runs out, the entire battleship will be turned into a space coffin for the crew.

At this critical juncture, Zoya asked all the warships to turn on their loudspeakers and gave a speech to the whole fleet: "Brave Evangelor warriors, our situation is not optimistic. The scorpion swarm has completely surrounded us, and there is little fuel left for the ships, and there is still no trace of the expected reinforcements. However, there is still hope for us, we are a highly developed civilization, and our technology has so far been caught up by no other race. Even though we die today, you have made a remarkable contribution to your family. Your sacrifice was not in vain, and it is because of you that I, Evano, have learned that there are creatures in the universe that can match us, that your family will survive in the future, and that your fearless spirit will live on for generations to come! If we abandon our teammates and run away today, the result will be broken by the scorpion swarm one by one, and our deeds will be despised by future generations. Now only by uniting and maintaining the stability of the front can we hold out until the moment when reinforcements arrive. ”

"Please give me enough trust and follow my commands. I, Zoya, hereby swear that as long as I have the ability to work, I will never abandon the hope of life, even if I am wounded beyond repair. I will lead you to the final victory and bring you home in perfect condition! Now, please take heart and let these dregs who are only worthy of eating dung see the fighting will of our Evangels! ”
