At this time, the interstellar transport fleet of the Zhouxing Group has been parked next to the Cypress Star Near-Earth Space Fortress Cluster and is waiting for the Sixth Task Force, after successfully passing the identity verification of the Near-Earth Space Fortress Cluster, the starship battle array of the Sixth Task Force immediately perfectly and completely protected the interstellar transport fleet of the Zhouxing Group in the three-dimensional starship battle array, and after determining the course, the Zhouxing Group interstellar transport fleet escorted by the Sixth Task Force began this journey through the Koyi Empire.

At this time, the generals of the Sixth Task Force could already feel that in the long road ahead under the starry light, some restless factors were already waiting for them, and the starship cluster of the Sixth Task Force was escorting the transport fleet of the Zhouxing Group after the departure, the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier, as a large starship, was also ranked closest to the transport fleet of the Zhouxing Group. But they were all looking intently at a star map displayed in the command channel.

When Zhang Hai and the five of them looked intently at a star map displayed in the command channel of the Lucky Cat for a while, Zhang Heng, deputy of the sailor battalion, poured a cup of coffee into his mouth, and manipulated the mecha to patrol back and forth in the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier, and said to them: I understand this star map sent by the regiment headquarters, it is the inference map of the route that is most likely to be attacked based on the star map data of many star fields in the Keyi Empire, it seems that the regiment headquarters is still fully prepared for the possible attack of the 31st BrigadeOf course, it doesn't matter, but what makes me more interested is whether our sailor battalion will not be able to fight in this possible battle.

When Zhang Heng bluntly asked everyone this question, Captain Feng Qi couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said to Zhang Heng: It seems that you are already quite confident in the starship combat strength of our Sixth Task Force, and you don't think that there will be such a thing as a close-range boarding battle. After listening to Feng Qi's reply, Zhang Heng quickly stuffed a cigarette into his mouth and lit it, and then said with a smoke as he spoke: This has nothing to do with confidence or anything like that, I just objectively analyzed the military strength of both sides, after all, it is not that our Sixth Task Force has not fought with the men and horses of the Iron Claw Security Group before this, and the result is already clear.

And now if the Iron Claw Security Group continues to use the same forces as our Sixth Task Force to deal with us, it will be completely self-inflicted, of course, it is understandable that the Iron Claw Security Group is doing this, after all, all the armed forces of their Orca Empire have been indulging in the plastic fairy tale of their starship cluster being incomparably powerful and almost invincible for so many years, maybe they feel that the scale of the battle with our Sixth Task Force is not large enough, it is a small-scale starship battle, so it is not convincing, so they continue to underestimate the enemy? What a work.

When Zhang Heng made this comment, Captain He Suji also took the time to say to Zhang Heng while looking at the parameters of the fighters in the hangar: These factors you said do exist, but for our Lucky Cat, the most important thing is not to win arrogantly and not be discouraged, and not to be raised by successive victories to be anxious and contemptuous of the enemy. When He Suji finished saying this sentence to remind everyone, the first mate Wang Kang said: You can rest assured, every time the regimental headquarters holds a comprehensive combat strength summary meeting at the end of the month, our regimental commander, Marquis Zheng Fen, and the regimental commander Marquis Wang Li have often scolded the various starships of our regiment to the blood.

After talking about the comparison of combat power, the first mate Wang Kang also added another sentence: This time from the Dafei Star Domain to the escort of the Zhouxing Group transport merchant fleet out of the territory of the Keyi Empire, it is necessary to pass through five star fields along the way, according to the current sailing speed of our Sixth Task Force to escort the merchant fleet of the Zhouxing Group, it is a little slower than our Sixth Task Force to sail alone, almost seven hours, and the time is not too long. In total, the entire mission will take about thirty-five hours, that is, it will take about a day and a half to complete this escort mission, let's take care of our spirits and see where the 31st Brigade of the Iron Claw Security Group will jump out to trouble our Sixth Task Force this time.

When Wang Kang said this, I saw that Zhang Hai, the commander of the sailor battalion, said to everyone after pouring a cup of strong tea: Sad, think about it, this time our sailor battalion may really not get a chance to go into battle, okay, let the armor of our sailor battalion rest well. While the generals on the starships of Task Force 6 were speculating about the possible battle, the starship cluster of Task Force 6 was also escorting the transport merchant fleet of the Zhouxing Group at the edge of the interstellar public waterway towards the east of the Dafei Star Domain, that is, the Lanshan Empire, which is also a medium-sized empire on the border with the Koyi Empire. However, the merchant fleets in the interstellar public waterway watched the scene of the sixth task force carrying out the mission but did not feel any surprise, mainly because in the past six months, the various starship clusters belonging to the Kunlong Empire, the Orca Empire and the Barlow Empire, which belong to the three security groups, have often clashed with each other near the interstellar public waterway, and the various small and medium-sized empires in the Youshi galaxy have often attacked each other. Therefore, the merchant fleet in the past was no longer surprised by the sight of a cluster of armed starships from all sides appearing on the side of the interstellar public waterway.

In the time that followed, the starship cluster of the 6th Task Force had been escorting the transport merchant fleet of the Zhouxing Group day and night, and when the starship cluster of the 6th Task Force had been escorting the transport merchant fleet of the Zhouxing Group for a day, although it was already on the alert for the attack of the 31st Brigade, the 6th Task Force still did not detect anything wrong during the voyage, and sailed smoothly all the way, and by the morning of the next day, When the starship cluster of Task Force 6 escorted the shippers of the Zhouxing Group to the last star field, they still did not notice any unusual movement, and it looked like they could reach their destination through this last star field in another six hours.

In the face of this temporary calm situation, the officers and men of the Sixth Task Force began to wonder if the 31st Brigade of the Iron Claw Security Group was not ready to launch an attack on the Sixth Task Force, and just when everyone was thinking so, the starships of the Sixth Task Force received a battlefield reconnaissance notice from the regimental headquarters, saying that a group of unidentified starships had appeared 10 million kilometers directly in front of the route, and the regimental headquarters ordered all starships of the regiment to be ready for engagement. After receiving the order from the regimental headquarters to prepare for battle, the starships of Task Force 6, which was originally on the march, immediately became alert and ready to enter a state of engagement at any time.

However, although Task Force 6 had discovered that there was an unidentified starship cluster blocking the way in front of it, the starship cluster of Task Force 6 was still not prepared to change its course at all, so it moved forward at a high speed, and as the distance got closer, the starship cluster of Task Force 6 and the transport merchant fleet of the Zhouxing Group were getting closer and closer to the cluster of unstarship in front. After some time, it was not unexpected by the officers and men of Task Force 6, and the starship cluster blocking the road in front of it decisively opened the jump blocking position when the starship cluster of Task Force 6 and the transport merchant fleet of the Zhouxing Group approached, so the starship cluster of the 6th Task Force and the transport merchant fleet of the Zhouxing Group were immediately intercepted, and the 6th Task Force, which had been interrupted from the process of the jump voyage, did not mess up at all after encountering this situation, but calmly lined up in formation. And the transport fleet of the Zhouxing Group was wrapped in the center of the battle array, ready to deal with any battle situation at any time.

After intercepting the starship cluster on the side of Task Force 6, the starship cluster painted with the logo of the Iron Claw Security Group on the opposite side did not shy away from identifying itself to Task Force 6, they were the 31st Brigade, and they were ordered to intercept the transport merchant fleet of the Zhouxing Group here, on the grounds that the Zhouxing Group shamelessly stole the latest mineral smelting technology specimens that the Orca Empire Bear Knife Group bought from the Royal Mining Group of the Koyi Empire. The 31st Brigade was very adamant that Task Force 6 had to be released from the protection of the Zhouhang Group's merchant convoy and handed over to their 31st Brigade.
