Volume I: Chapter 73: The Message of the Great Elder
Advanced Starship Factory Kaja Defense Fleet Command.
Commander Leka, as the supreme military commander of this star field, is about to be driven crazy by the sudden appearance of the human fleet in the past few days, first a mid-level starship factory was directly destroyed, and within a few days, he received information that two labor farms were attacked, judging from the information fed back by the labor field, this is definitely a long-planned plan, because before the human fleet launched an attack, the labor farm itself was in chaos, first a large-scale slave riot, and then the guards in charge of guarding the slaves ran away, As a high-ranking general, he knew very well that the true identity of these guards was the Hegmai tribe with the identity of the Ethiopian tribe, and according to His Majesty King Kaja's plan, these were the remnants of the sin to be completely eliminated.
But what happened in the labor field now is a little confusing to Leka, if you simply want to follow the labor farm rebellion after the appearance of the human fleet, the escape of the labor farm guards seems to explain the past, but if you think about it carefully, you feel a little strange, because the situation in the labor field in the two places is the same, which is too suspicious, and the other party also divided the troops, which seems to him to be simply looking for death, how can a dozen old battleships resist the power of their three standard fleets.
"Light Pole Fleet" This is the nickname that Leka gave to this human fleet, this must be the remaining remnant fleet after being greeted by the Kaga fleet guarding the wormhole, this Kajia fleet responsible for annihilating the Star Alliance behind enemy lines is also really, how can he run out of so many battleships, which makes him a little difficult to deal with, and he is also very strange why the Kajia fleet responsible for the annihilation of the human fleet did not send him any news, the general command will not say that the distance is too far, with these doubts in his heart, he has to continue to think about the matter in front of him, He is the last barrier in charge of the security of the rear, and he must not ask the human fleet to walk a ship, but the other party has given him a great opportunity, if you dare to divide the troops, I will dare to eat you one by one, and now it is time to determine the next foothold of the other party.
"Commander Leka, I have good news," said a middle-aged man from the Kaja tribe who looked like an adjutant.
"Oh? What good news," Leka said as he stepped out of his thoughts and looked at his adjutant.
"According to a reliable source, the next target of the human fleet is another labor farm that we previously guessed was very likely."
"Yes, it's really no surprise, there is no technical content at all, does the news say about the strength of the opponent's fleet?"
"This ......" In order to make sure that he would not make a mistake, the adjutant glanced at the information again and said: "It did not say it explicitly, only the size of the fleet"
"Well, that's tantamount to saying, it seems that the human fleet is going to stop here, order the two fleets to go to the target labor field, I want them to come back and not return!" Leka said with some harshness.
"Ah...... The words of the commander of the two fleets are not a bit much, the other party is only a few battleships, and our defense here should also be taken seriously," the adjutant asked his commander with some puzzlement.
Leka smiled weirdly and continued, "You don't understand this, we seem to beat each other for a time difference, but what if their fleets converge?" ”
"That doesn't matter much, how can those broken ships of the human fleet be the opponent of a fleet?"
"Nope! Being able to get out of the hands of two standard fleets is by no means an ordinary person, so we should be cautious."
"Then our defense here seems to be a little weak, if we only have one fleet, wouldn't it be ...... if the human fleet turns around and comes to us?"
"Can't the defenses here hold up for even two days? The human fleet, if he goes to the labor farm, it will be fine, if he goes straight here, he will disappear faster."
"What do you mean......"
"You don't understand that?" Leka looked at his lieutenant with some annoyance.
"Clearly, I'll give the order to the fleet"

At the same time, the fleet where the Heavenly Venerable was was carrying out the final battlefield cleaning, although he fought a very beautiful battle of annihilation, but he was not happy at all, because there was an accident in the interval between battles, and the Great Elder who came with him sent a message to an unknown place, which was something that Zhao Deming had repeatedly stated The fleet must not send a message to the outside world, otherwise there will be no mercy, which makes the Heavenly Venerable a little worried, strictly speaking, the Great Elder is not a member of the fleet, so this regulation seems to be not binding on him, But if he doesn't punish him, he is afraid that the fleet will be dissatisfied, and if he is punished, the identity of the other party is a guest, which is really a dilemma, and just as he is in a dilemma, a person who suddenly appeared asked him to completely dispel his previous doubts.
"Cobra Special Forces! How did you end up here? "The Heavenly Venerable of this special combat team is really familiar, it can be said that he has grown up step by step, and their only task now is to monitor and fight demons," Could it be that ......" The Heavenly Venerable suddenly realized something, and then what this special combat member said to him also confirmed the Heavenly Venerable's thoughts.
And for the special combat team, if it weren't for seeing the Heavenly Venerable not taking action against the Great Elder for a long time, he would never rashly contact the Heavenly Venerable, and when he left, the captain had told him that the Heavenly Venerable was trustworthy, so he had to discuss something with the Heavenly Venerable, otherwise he would directly arrest people.
After knowing the true identity of the other party, the Heavenly Venerable did not hesitate any longer and directly sent someone to imprison the Great Elder, his reason is very sufficient, he made such a big mistake, and it is already very face-saving not to kill you now, and the Great Elder can only accept such a reality, now is not the time for him to be reckless, and when he sees His Royal Highness the Prince, someone will naturally intercede for him, and at that time, a sentence of innocence of those who do not know can perfectly resolve the current predicament.
The Great Elder's wishful thinking crackled, but it was a pity that it was really not like that when he saw His Royal Highness the Prince.
The Heavenly Venerable actually disobeyed Zhao Deming's order, but he was a special situation, he didn't take it too seriously when the Great Elder first sent out the news, but after learning the true identity of the Great Elder, the nature of this matter immediately changed, and he had to send a message to Zhao Deming's fleet through the special combat team, hoping that Zhao Deming could receive the changes that happened here as soon as possible.
It was a pity that when Zhao Deming received this message, he had already come out of the wormhole and was facing the attack of two standard fleets.
The sudden appearance of the enemy directly disrupted Zhao Deming's original plan, he didn't expect the enemy's reaction to be so fast, it should have been the time difference he caused to the enemy, but he was led by the other party, and now it is obviously impossible to wait for the arrival of the Heavenly Venerable's fleet, just as he and Wang Pengxun were discussing countermeasures, Hei Hei suddenly came to the headquarters, seeing that he had to go outside the door to listen to what Hei Hei said.
Hei Hei truthfully recounted what happened on the Heavenly Venerable's side, which made him completely understand where the root cause of the current situation was, and at the same time confirmed the identity of the Great Elder.
Hei Hei's expression was ugly, he didn't expect his Great Elder to do such a dirty thing, or he didn't expect it to be done so quickly, he really regretted that he had promised the Great Elder to get on the ship.
Zhao Deming took in Heihei's performance, what else could he say at this time, first pass the current one in front of him, let's talk about it, the two standard fleets are not easy to defeat in Wang Pengxun's opinion, and after reassuring Heihei not to think too much, he returned to the headquarters, the battle in front of him is the most important thing, while planning the strategy, he still hopes that the fleet of the Heavenly Venerable can arrive as soon as possible, which is the key to whether this battle can be won.
More than an hour later, the fleet released all 9,000 drones to fight the enemy's prominent fleet of cruisers and frigates before engagement, as previously deployed.
"The enemy really doesn't have a long memory! It's still such an old-fashioned tactic" Although the current battle situation is not favorable to mankind, it still does not prevent Wang Pengxun from ridiculing the enemy.
"What would you do if it were you?" Zhao Deming asked rhetorically.
"It's very simple, come over together, I'm afraid that even half of the opponent's assault formation won't be able to go back with this kind of assault method."
"Then I'm even more puzzled, why did the other party launch such an attack if it was so simple?" Zhao Deming squinted at Wang Pengxun, that meaning is obvious, what do you think.
"This ......" Wang Pengxun thought for a while and said: "There is also that possibility, when I saw them attacking in this formation, I was a little puzzled, there was a possibility that they didn't know the situation."
"Do you know, I think there will be an answer soon"
"Well, that's right."
Perhaps to verify their words, the enemy released a program virus bomb at this time.
"Hehe, it seems that I really don't know, if the guess is correct, the other party is going to rehearse the last battle again, but it's a pity that we don't have the strong combat power before, otherwise a wave will take him away" Wang Pengxun sighed with some regret.
Zhao Deming was also a little annoyed, his plan was taken by the other party, and now he can only retreat.
"Order the fleet to stop advancing when the drone engages, if the enemy protrudes into the range of the battleship, each captain can attack on his own, but there is a rule, if the drone reaches the range of the enemy battleship, withdraw at least half of the drone to avoid losses," Zhao Deming began to give the order for the possibility of future battles.
"Well, most of the possibilities have been basically taken care of, but it is still a little sloppy for the drone, you can adjust it according to the facts to maximize the output of the drone, and these intelligent adjutants can do it" Wang Pengxun commented on Zhao Deming's decision.
After thinking quickly, Zhao Deming continued to order: "Change the drone command, cooperate with the intelligent adjutant data to maximize the output of the drone, but closely observe the number of drone losses, and must not exceed the loss red line, and then take back the drone for vigilance, use the antimatter cannon to deal with the other party."
Almost at the same time as Zhao Deming's order was issued, the drone and the opponent's prominent fleet exchanged fire, the drone spewed out red antimatter energy cannons, and the opponent's cruisers and frigates used guided missile shipborne kinetic energy weapons to resist, to be honest, the effect is not very obvious, there are two reasons for this, one is that the program of the Heavenly Venerable greatly optimizes the attack and defense capabilities of the drone, and the other is that the enemy is not very attentive, in their opinion, these drones will become their helpers in the end, Because the program virus bomb is coming soon, but apparently they miscalculated.
These commanders of the enemy should have graduated from a military academy, and after seeing the first wave of program virus bombs fail, the second wave was sent out from the enemy battleship, and its density was three times that of the first wave, which was exactly the same as the first battle.
After the failure of the second wave of program virus bombs, the enemy commanders apparently realized the seriousness of the problem and again replicated the tactical "convergence" of the previous first battle
There was really no creativity, but it was the most suitable choice, and at this time, the assault fleet, which realized the seriousness of the problem, began to gain enough firepower and began to attack the drone formation, and the losses of the drones began to rise in a straight line, until the captains of the red line took the drones back.
"These losers, they have to lose more than 2,000 before they are willing to take it back" Zhao Deming was dripping blood in his heart, but he was still relatively satisfied with the results, and the enemy assault fleet only went back less than a third.
After that, the battle situation did not start so smoothly, the enemy completely gave up the illusion of using program virus bombs to gain an advantage, and gave full play to the advantage that his overall strength was still stronger than the human fleet and began to engage in a melee, Zhao Deming's original idea of buying time by retreating came to naught in front of the opponent's fleet being more mobile, and the old battleship still couldn't be compared with the battleship that had been updated for several generations, which was really the advantage of a drone swarm attack, otherwise he really didn't dare to imagine how long this fleet could last.
At the height of the battle, when one battleship was destroyed and two battleships were seriously injured in the human fleet, Wang Pengxun suddenly put forward a request to go to the fleet below to personally command, which was a very reasonable request in itself, Zhao Deming didn't think much about it and directly agreed to his request, but ten minutes later, Hei Hei suddenly appeared at the command and said that Wang Pengxun was directly detained, Zhao Deming was very surprised when he first heard the news, but in Hei Hei's follow-up explanation, he fully agreed with Hei Hei's disposal method, At the same time, he was also glad that he had already made the arrangements, otherwise the command ship would not even have a living person now.
