Chapter 32: Ingress
After two or three days of repairs on Mo Ran's side, the lost ships have been replenished, but the damaged warships are still being repaired. Especially for the battleships of Longfus, many of the damaged places required a lot of time to repair. When the repair is completed, the ship will be inspected as a whole. These days, he is also looking at the distribution map of the war in the sixth star area, and finds that the sixth star area is like a gambler who has gone crazy, and now the state of the sixth star area is very bad, although the undead clan is also suffering serious losses, but the overall awareness is getting bigger and bigger. Although he felt that such a situation was better than waiting in place, he could not calm down at all when faced with the imminent fleet of the undead.
"How's the situation with the fleet?" Although it was repaired, Mo Ran had never left the battleship from the previous battle to the present. The people of Cassos were also around all the time.
"The battleships of Captain Longfus and Captain Xiu are still being repaired. The other people's warships have basically been repaired, and now they are doing the final debugging and tidying up. Wanliu whispered. Mo Ran's battleship had barely suffered any damage in the previous battle, and even if an undead warship rushed towards him, it was basically destroyed or rammed away by other warships. So his battleship had nothing else to do except some damage to the armor.
"Get ready! I have a feeling that we may have another task to take care of in the last few days. Looking at the increased star map during the war, Mo Ran whispered. The increase in fighting on the border can only be due to the fact that the undead have launched a larger-scale attack after continuous temptation. If the Protoss' side doesn't fight back, then the Undead Clan is likely to directly overwhelm the realm. And the inability to quickly deal with those things in the combat zone also shows that Kun's Sixth Star Zone has fallen into a state where there are no warships available. Of course, the undead have time, and when they don't understand whether the Protoss has set a trap, the Undead will only use this seemingly painless attack to continuously consume the living power of the Protoss.
As soon as Mo Ran finished speaking, he received General Kun's communication, and without waiting for Mo Ran's consent, General Kun's projection appeared in front of Mo Ran. "It's urgent. A fleet of Voyage-class warships of the Undead is advancing into the interior of our territory. It's fast, but I don't have much strength left to fight. I know you still have ships repairing there, but I'm now able to find a relatively complete fleet, only the one you have. I've already sent you the coordinates. After saying this, General Kun just turned off the communication, leaving Mo Ran a little stunned.
And the people around Kassos were also a little surprised, and then on the star map in front of Mo Ran, a red line was heading towards the direction of the main starport at a very fast speed. If the undead discover the situation in the main starport of the sixth star sector, then the sixth star sector will not have much time to be destroyed.
"Prepare to move, Longfus and Xiu, your warship has not been repaired, stay in Starport to continue repairing, let the engineers work harder, speed up, there may be more things to ask them in the future." Mo Ran whispered, and then looked at the star map in front of him again, the undead fleet had no intention of hiding the signal along the way. Mo Ran frowned slightly. "General, if you can, please have some fleets around while I fight." Mo Ran immediately sent a message to General Kun, looking at the Undead Clan's voyage-class battleship that was heading all the way to the interior of the Sixth Star Zone.
"What's wrong?" Kun was a little confused, and then his three-dimensional projection appeared in front of the bridge. "I guess this fleet is just a paper tiger, and it doesn't have any combat power except for being a little faster." Mo Ran said hesitantly. "If you let such a fleet go deep one by one, and then find that only one of my fleets is in the way, then what will the undead side think?" Mo Ran asked rhetorically, looking at General Kun in front of him.
General Kun frowned slightly, this matter is not very difficult, but he wants to know why.
"If this fleet is just to test our current strength, I want them to think that it is important that we still have a fleet that can fight." Mo Ran thought for a moment and said. "If I were the commander on the other side, a fleet that had penetrated so many depths, and only one fleet would intercept it in the end, who would have thought that there were not many fleets in the star sector at all! But if there are a lot of fleets around, even if you are unsure, I think the undead will consider what the consequences of directly attacking the Sixth Sector will be1"
At this time, Merran's fleet was ready to move, and they would appear in front of the undead fleet after three leaps. "Okay, I got it. I will send a fleet to cooperate with your attack. If the undead saw that those fleets only came and didn't attack, they would be a little confused! Kun thought about Mo Ran's words again, and then whispered. After this battle, I don't know if the undead clan in front of me will stop for a while. It would be nice to be able to stop for a while and let us catch our breath. General Kun said with a wry smile. The situation in the Sixth Sector is really bad right now. Although there were not many losses of Yuanzhou-class battleships, the supporting space-class battleships and battleships were heavily damaged. Because the border is basically filled with these two types of warships, these warships are also the main force in all battles.
If there is a period of relaxation, the new warships supported by the first sector will also arrive, and the situation in the sixth sector will be much better at that time.
"If you want to catch your breath, you can't let the undead stay quiet." Mo Ran whispered, "Unless we use a small number of warships to contain the large forces of the undead clan later, otherwise, we won't have much time to repair." ”
Hearing Mo Ran's words, Kun was slightly stunned. "Your point of view is somewhat similar to that Ye Hua in the Fifth Star Zone!" General Kun couldn't help but smile and said. "Ye Hua?" Although Mo Ran had studied a lot of Ye Hua's tactics recently, this was the first time he had heard about Ye Hua from someone else's mouth.
"Did Ye Hua make any big moves?" Mo Ran couldn't help asking.
General Kun nodded. "The Fifth Sector feels like it can't wait any longer, and if it doesn't take action, it may not have a chance to act in the future." Saying this, Mo Ran's side had already made the first move. After a few breaths, they reappeared.
"The Fifth Star Region intends for Ye Hua to lead a formation of double-voyage-class warships deep into the interior of the Undead Clan. Now the fleets of the undead are basically gathered in the front of each star area, and the rear of the undead must be very weak, at this time, if a fleet goes deep into the interior of the undead to make trouble, there may be unexpected effects! Speaking of this, General Kun couldn't help but laugh.
"But aren't you afraid of the undead fighting back?" Mo Ran was a little stunned. I don't know what General Creevey thinks of the Fifth Sector.
"Clevey said that if the undead were going to fight, he would defend the line as well. Because after there is no logistical supply, the competition is who can support the two fleets for a longer time. And with the support of the rear of the Protoss, Creevey naturally doesn't have to worry. But the undead fleet, which has gathered a large number of warships, will not have such a good rear. General Kun chuckled, then looked at Mo Ran.
"It's a good idea." Mo Ran thought about it. However, this method is not suitable for the Sixth Sector, because the Sixth Sector no longer has the strength to compete with the undead head-on. It can be said that among the four star sectors on the periphery of the Protoss, it is not an exaggeration to say that the strength of the sixth star sector is the weakest.
And General Kun was looking at Mo Ran, obviously wanting Mo Ran to think of a good idea.
At this time, the fleet made a second jump, and Mo Ran understood what General Kun meant. But right now, the Sixth Sector can't support some of his ideas. Originally, he thought that if he had enough warships and strength, he might be able to use excellent commanders as arrows to attack, and then tear a few holes in the undead Clan's front to directly find several large and medium-sized starports of the Undead Clan. As long as these starports are resolved, they will hold on for a few days, and the undead clan will also think about the future. Although the undead don't need food, they need energy for the daily maintenance of the fleet! The number of Voyage-class warships in a star sector is not a simple statement, but a result of calculations. If there is not enough energy, a star sector cannot afford so many long-range warships.
But now the Sixth Sector can't do that. "There is another way, which is to hit a small number of Voyage-class warships, space-class warships and battleships, and form an elite squad to hunt down the Voyage-class warships in the territory of the undead." Mo Ran whispered. "Although this method consumes a lot of money, it doesn't last long, but it is earned by annihilating a fleet of undead long-range warships." Mo Ran thought of Ye Hua's combat method before. And now the undead have already made a corresponding way to deal with such an attack. That is to shorten the distance between the formations of long-range warships and reduce the reaction time of the team. If any of the Protoss fleets use this method, if they can't solve the battle within half an hour, then their combat method will be a failure.
However, it is also because of Ye Hua's battle, the pressure on each starport of the undead clan is very great, after all, once a starport only needed to maintain the energy consumption of a small and medium-sized fleet, but now it has to maintain a whole large fleet. While it seems that the undead fleet has a way to deal with such a battle, the consequence is increased logistical pressure and a large number of holes in the defensive front.
"Will this work?" Although this was Ye Hua's battle plan, and Kun knew it, he still felt that he was a little worried.
