Under Hu Ke's command, the Interstellar Federation's fleet hid in an asteroid belt, and they also went into radio silence, turning off the engines and all equipment that might generate additional signals, even the portholes, in case the lights were shining through the portholes and exposing their whereabouts.

On the other side, the fleet of fifty high-speed reconnaissance ships swaggered towards the starry sky in front of them, their task was to lure the enemy deeper, and because of the asymmetry of the radars of the two sides, the probability of these reconnaissance ships taking the initiative to discover the fleet of the Holy Presence Messenger was very small, and the code name of their operation this time was - Flesh Monster!

Obviously, the mission of this small fleet is to attract the attention of the Holy Presence Fleet, and bring them to their own encirclement, so when they encounter the Holy Presence Fleet, they will definitely be hit by the first round, so whether they can return alive or not depends on whether Lady Luck favors them.

In the vast starry sky, fifty small reconnaissance ships with a length of less than 100 meters are very inconspicuous, and together they are not even as big as an asteroid that crosses the stars.

After making a space jump, the small fleet began to fly in the direction of C9 with conventional power engines, and without the use of phase jumps, they would have reached C9 two hundred and fifty-four years later.

Of course, the small fleet wasn't really going there, they were just quietly playing their own bait.

"Captain, do you think we'll make it back alive?" A radar soldier asked his captain, in this Kika Navigator, there are only three crew members, namely the captain who is also the pilot, the radar officer who is the part-time navigator, and the communicator who is a part-time fireman, although the Kika Navigator only has two high-frequency laser launchers, but if there are incoming missiles or drones, with these two small guns, the Kika Navigator can also have some means of self-defense.

"Who knows...... Don't you have faith? You can try praying. The captain shrugged his shoulders and said, he was the captain of the patrol ship before he took over the Kika Navigator, and he did this kind of life-and-death work, so he had already thought about it.

"The generalissimo is so excited, and he doesn't know what those aliens are like!" The correspondent said.

"It's better not to encounter it, if you really have to meet it, then we will die if we can't keep it!" The radar soldier said that he was a new recruit, and he had just finished the training of the recruit camp, and he was assigned to this battleship, and he originally thought that it was a good thing for him to get on the new ship, but he didn't expect that the first time he participated in the war, he became a bait for nine deaths.

For soldiers, even if they know that it is a mission to die, they will carry it out without hesitation, so although this radar soldier was afraid of death, he still set off with his two companions.

Boring interstellar travel tends to be boring, but it's especially easy to breed fear if you're on a decoy mission.

Death is certainly a terrible thing, but compared to death, waiting for death is indeed more terrifying, especially in this situation of not knowing when death will come.

Not only this Kika Navigator, but also the other dozen Kika Navigators are all veterans with recruits, in addition to the captain, some of the Kika Navigators and even the other two crew members are recruits.

In this trembling state of mind, fifty reconnaissance ships moved forward through the void, and the radar soldiers nervously turned on the radar at full power, but found nothing!

"Boom!" At this time, a lone-class unmanned reconnaissance ship driving at the forefront suddenly exploded!

"Enemy attack!" The sirens sounded in the fleet, and everyone's nerves tensed up at once.

"Whoosh!" At this moment, a beam of light flew from an extremely distant direction, followed by another lone-class unmanned reconnaissance ship, which was also destroyed!

The shock wave of the explosion caused the spacecraft behind it to shake violently, and the commander of the small fleet immediately gave the order!

"All Lone Star Recon Ships keep course and continue to move forward, and all Kika Navigators immediately turn back! Ladies and gentlemen! Good luck to all! "The commander said to everyone through the fleet radio that now that the enemy has appeared, their task is to lure the enemy into the encirclement with their lives, and as for whoever survives, it is purely luck!

Under the commander's order, those Lone Star Unmanned Reconnaissance Ships continued to move forward, their onboard computers have locked the route, at this moment, the task of these Lone Star Unmanned Reconnaissance Ships is to help the manned spacecraft behind them resist the attack, although they are all killed by one shot, but they can buy one more second for friendly forces, and they can increase the life of friendly forces.

And those Kika navigators immediately turned back after the commander's order, although these small boats are all one-shot roles, but the small size also has the advantage of small size, that is, the steering is flexible, and you don't have to go around a big arc like a big ship to make the ship turn.

While the Kika navigators were evacuating, the radar crews on these ships were not idle, helping the captain to provide the most optimal return route while calculating the exact location of the source of the attack.

"Captain! The opponent is attacking us from 1.2 astronomical units away! A radarman reported.

"Targeted Search!" The captain immediately gave the order.

"Yes!" The radar soldier nodded, before the radar was aimlessly dispersed search, so the exploration distance was relatively close, and now the general direction of the enemy has been determined, so the radar can search in a directional way, so that the exploration distance of these reconnaissance ships has increased exponentially.

"Report to the captain! The enemy is a fleet of two hundred and fifteen warships, the exact type of which is unknown, and they have already discovered and locked on to us! "The radar corps provided the second phase of intelligence.

"Keep scanning!" The captain agreed, and then said to the signal soldier: "Send a message to the fleet immediately and send back the information of the other party!" ”

"Yes! Captain! The signal corps was immediately ordered.

Although according to the regulations, these reconnaissance ships should now gather information in the fleet after searching for it, and then transmit it back to the main fleet in the rear, but at this time these captains can no longer care so much, they are not for merit, but because time is pressing, no one knows whether they can survive to the next second, and no one knows when the fleet will be completely destroyed, so the information must be transmitted back in time.

"Boom, boom, boom......" Violent explosions came one after another, and the thirty lone-star unmanned reconnaissance ships were all destroyed quickly!

However, fortunately, the distance between the fleet of the Holy Coming Messenger and this reconnaissance ship was too far at this time, and only the first-level main gun could hit them, which made the attack frequency of the Holy Coming Messenger fleet much less, thus giving the reconnaissance fleet a chance to send the news back.
