Chapter XXXIII: Commander

Mo Ran only had experience in managing large fleets, and this was the first time he had tried such a defensive battle, and he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse. But now that it's here, he doesn't have any more options. On the side of the three-dimensional projection, a series of data showed that the area around the starport was divided into hundreds of small areas, each with its own defensive force. It's the equivalent of spreading all the forces together.

Mo Ran hesitated for a moment, and then gave the order. "Hit all the battleships, I need all the moving destroyers to gather at once and go to Area 172." Mo Ran put a ring next to the map, and then picked out the information that was useful to him among the information on the side with both hands.

Several messages show the damage to the individual battleships, and now only four battleships can still maintain full combat effectiveness, as for the destroyers, there are seventeen more. Mo Ran renumbered them at will to make it easier to manage. And Noria's battleships were still in second place.

Mo Ran watched the movement of all the warships, and the enemy's main force was also mobilized with the movement of the starport. "All the littoral ships in Area 172 will transfer all the drones out to prevent the other side from using electromagnetic bombs." The next moment, Mo Ran saw a large number of small green dots in the 172 area in front of the local main force, and soon took advantage of the 172 area. However, with the transfer of the main warships that could fight, the defenses of other places were frequently in a hurry. And the intelligence officers around him also kept processing and sending messages to the console in front of Mo Ran.

Mo Ran is really a little anxious now, although this can avoid waiting for death, but it is also a great risk, if the other party directly kills their battleship at one time, there is no need to fight this battle.

Several battleship captains also came in at this time, and their three-dimensional projections appeared around the console. Waiting for Mo Ran's order, they were already approaching the area they were going to.

"What is the situation with the individual ships?" Mo Ran didn't want to look at the information that had been processed, because there would always be a delay, so he couldn't keep up with the latest situation on the battlefield, so he asked these captains directly.

"In good condition, with plenty of ammunition." The captain of the first battleship replied. "In good condition and ready to fight." Captain Noria replied with a salute. But Mo Ran, who had been on the Noria, knew that the Noria was not in good condition at all, it could only be in an average state and could fight. But he didn't want to break it.

Then several captains told them about their current situation. Mo Ran brought in all the destroyer captains again, and this time he didn't ask.

"The first and second battleship formations, if the 172 area is handed over to you, how long can you hold out." Mo Ran asked in a deep voice. Now the place is still assembling, and this is an opportunity for them to take the initiative to attack. But he also had to make sure that the attacking fleet had a safe place to return to port.

"I'll make it to the end." The captain of the First Fleet, Captain Rowen, replied in a deep voice, but Captain Noria did not. She knew the situation of her warship, and if she really took on this task, then the main defensive fleet would be the first fleet, and the second fleet would be very likely to become a backup.

"I don't need your answer. I'm just asking you if you can hold out for three hours. Mo Ran didn't like this answer, he only needed three hours, and if he hadn't severely damaged the undead warship on the other side in three hours, they wouldn't have anything to do with it.

"No problem." Captain Rowen replied. "Commander, do you need us to attack then?" Hearing that it had only been three hours, he seemed a little relieved. He had a smile on his face, but the blushing on his body wasn't a good thing.

In Area 172, Captain Rowen's battleship has already exchanged fire with the undead drones. But the situation is still under control.

"I'll tell you if it's possible. Captain Noria, do you have any questions? Not hearing Captain Noria's answer, Moran looked at her and asked.

"No problem, Commander." Noria replied. She knew that the situation was urgent, and that he needed answers, not explanations.

"Third, fourth battleship formations, how long will it take for the particle cannon in your hands to be recharged?" Mo Ran frowned and asked, the undead clan will not wait for him to slowly arrange defenses and attacks here, there is already a littoral ship in front of Area 172 tentatively, but it was soon directly destroyed by the approaching destroyer, obviously the other party is testing their defense here.

Mo Ran felt a headache, if he personally controlled it, it would be much more convenient, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the plan arranged at this time might be useless the next moment.

But fortunately, Mo Ran still knew that the other side had about seven battleship formations. In fact, if you really want to attack a starport, you need at least an astronautic-class battleship formation.

Mo Ran thought for a moment, then scattered the third and fourth battleship formations, and asked them to lead the remaining destroyers to form two complete battleship formations. And the transfer of ships made the already weak defensive circle even weaker.

"It's just a different place, and it's no different from your usual simulation." Mo Ran thought secretly, and after figuring this out, Mo Ran naturally began to prepare for the assignment.

The undead fleet on the opposite side was going to besiege Starport, so they could only gather three battleship formations in front of them. Mo Ran directly let the third and fourth battleship formations take the lead in attacking, and when the undead clan had just finished the trial, the third and fourth fleets were attacking the undead warships in front of them. Mo Ran, on the other hand, saw a large number of defensive forts in the Star Harbor. Of course, as a starport, it also has its own last resort, a huge electromagnetic railgun is on standby at any time, but this cannon takes a long time to reload, and after using it once, it can be said that the starport is defenseless. So until the last moment, Mo Ran will not use it.

The attack of the third and fourth fleets caught the undead fleet in front of them a little unprepared, and the undead fleet that was originally assembling had to disperse, otherwise the other party would have to suffer heavy losses once they gathered fire.

Mo Ran watched the attack of the Third and Fourth Fleet, they successfully attracted the attention of the Undead Clan, and then Mo Ran let the Third and Fourth Fleets start to attack and roam around the undead Clan's control area at will. On the other side, after seeing the two battleships sent from the 172 region from the Star Harbor side, the undead naturally thought of using their superior forces to directly encircle and annihilate the two fleets that were still remaining in 172. As long as these two fleets are annihilated, Starport will not have much strength to fight.

And these are exactly what Mo Ran wants to see. "The First and Second Fleets, prepare gravity bombs and small black hole bombs." This is the last and most powerful weapon of the two battleship formations.

"Ready." Captain Lowen and Noria replied. Mo Ran could naturally perceive that since the departure of the Third and Fourth Fleets, the First and Second Fleets had suffered a lot fewer attacks.

"Analyst, tell me where the undead fleet is now." Mo Ran asked the battlefield analysts around him loudly.

"Commander, we have received the energy transformation of the three undead fleets, and based on the feedback of the energy size, they will travel to the area before 172."

"What is the situation with the Third and Fourth Fleets?" Mo Ran asked again about the situation of the Third and Fourth Fleets, after all, they were now attracting a lot of firepower, and in the enemy-controlled area, if they were not careful, they would probably be completely annihilated.

"Commander, the situation is fine now, it's just this shaking that makes my stomach a little unbearable." The captain of the Third Fleet spoke loudly as he leaned against the guardrail in front of him, and his bridge was littered with alarms and electric sparks. Apparently he is not in as good shape as he says he is.

Although the Third and Fourth Fleets were mixed in with the large number of littoral ships of the Undead, there were still enough littoral ships of the Undead to affect the battleships. And as they moved, Mo Ran could see the flickering red lights on the captains of those destroyers not far away. There were also captains who suddenly lost their images. Mo Ran knew that this was a sign of death in battle.

Watching the images disappear in front of him, Mo Ran still felt a lot of pressure in his heart.

The captains around him kept dwindling, and Mo Ran was still waiting. When he waited for the intelligence officer to send the gravitational transformation signal around 172, Mo Ran immediately asked the first and second battleship fleets to rush out, and when the undead formation was not ready, he threw gravity bombs and black hole bombs at the places where several battleships appeared. Although the battleship left behind by the undead immediately counterattacked, with the escort of the destroyer formation, those counterattack bombs were not of much use, and even some littoral ships used drones to directly crash into the missiles flying towards the black hole bomb and gravity bomb.

And the undead clan also paid the price for their recklessness, and the formation of several battleships that had just been transferred instantly fell into the time trap constructed by Mo Ran. While this trap also had an effect on the First and Second Fleets, it was much better than the undead battleships stuck in the center of gravity. To escape this time trap, the first and second formations need to move out immediately.

In contrast, battleship formations that fall into the trap need more time to move out of this trap area.

"The First and Second Fleets quickly devoured the separate fleet in front of you. I'll give you half an hour, can you do it? Mo Ran checked the losses of the Third and Fourth Fleets again. He calculated that in an hour, the two battleship fleets would be surrounded and annihilated. If the First and Second Fleets could not complete the battle in half an hour, then they would have no chance to turn over.
