Chapter 141: The Covenant's Call for Help
The three warships landed smoothly on the surface, the detectors were fully open, and no targets were found on the light curtain, but the reconnaissance ship that released it found that 10% of the area on this mineral star had traces of being mined, and there would be people willing to come over to mine this kind of planet where birds don't?
The confused commander looked at the intelligence and had long forgotten the location of the creatures, and now he just thought that someone had secretly come to this mineral star to steal resources, and quickly ordered the mecha detachment to go to the mining area to carefully search for traces, which would definitely be a great achievement if these poachers were tracked down according to the clues.
After a few weeks around the reconnaissance spacecraft, nothing abnormal was found, so the ship's commander of the team leader ordered to return to the battleship to drink tea, although it is a mineral star here, but the sunshine and temperature are quite like the feeling of a beach, but there are no waves and bikini beauties, but this regret is nothing compared to being able to relax with a monk with a cup of tea.
The commander of the mecha team is very rigorous, after all, no matter what the battle is, the death rate of their mecha soldiers is the highest, so the commander who leads the team is not like those lazy battleship personnel who only need to control the battleship, this kind of search target has nothing to do with them, at most, it is just to urgently take off into the air to assist them in running against the target after discovering the danger, and this shooting is accurate...... Alas...... It's hard to put into words, many of the brothers who died in battle fell under the fire of their own warships.
The mech team cautiously made their way to the first pit, unaware that a swarm of bugs was underground, judging by the vibrations of the mechs to discern their numbers, distances, and directions.
"Puff puff puff ......" The leading bugs gave the order again, and suddenly all the bugs began to slowly rise towards the surface, and they didn't know how they did it, there was no movement during the whole ascent, and they soon approached a depth of about 2 meters from the drows, and this distance could directly attack those human iron-clad people as long as they bounced.
The commander of the mecha team was already very cautious, and the power of various detection instruments was turned on to the maximum, but unfortunately they did not find the bugs lurking underground, and they would not have thought that there would be enemies ambushed underground to attack them.
"Puff puff puff ......" for a while, the team composed of 80 mecha was blocked by the dust raised in the sky, and then after hearing the sound of "ping pong ......", the mecha of the entire squad all collapsed to the ground, and the cockpit of each mecha was broken into a big hole, and the pilots inside were all lost, but a bloodstain was left on the driver's seat, proving that the owners of these mecha were still driving the mecha to do a search operation a moment ago.
After 2 hours, the commander of the fleet found that there was no movement on the mecha side, this is unlikely, the distance between the battleship and the frame is that even if your mecha walks slowly, there will be a round trip long ago, and no matter how slow it is, there will be no news at all? The hurried communications corps called the commander of the mechs to inquire about the situation, but there was no response from the transponder other than a rustling sound.
The fleet commander suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly let the battleship take off urgently, and ordered all the officers and men of the reconnaissance spacecraft who were bathing in the sun to take up positions to find the mecha team that was connected to the city.
The engine began to turn on the afterburner, and the battleship began to slowly rise into the air after a period of shaking, but it was all too late, except for the flagship that took off earlier, the rest of the battleships made a violent collision sound at the bottom of the spaceship, and the whole battleship began to panic, and in 5 minutes, both battleships began to fall, smashing a cloud of dust on the surface, although the flagship was one step earlier in the air, but they were still hit by unknown objects intensively, and the spaceship light brain kept sounding the alarm: "Warning, warning, the spaceship engine is damaged, The direction assist engine was completely damaged. ”
The commander of the fleet could not care about these alarms now, and urged the operators to rise into the air at maximum speed, and if they stayed, they would probably be dragged out of the cabin and dragged underground by an octopus-like monster like the person he saw from the light curtain, which was simply terrifying.
The battleship finally got out of the gravitational circle of the mineral star smoothly, but the engine with full power finally stopped running, but fortunately, the system in the store was not damaged, and quickly reported what happened here to the Covenant Council, and then checked the star map.
"There's no way to turn, we're drifting in that direction of the Alliance." The fleet commander asked the operator if he could solve this problem.
"Captain, the direction assist engine was completely destroyed during the take-off phase, and the main power engine is still being repaired, and I don't know if it can be repaired." The operator said helplessly to the commander.
"This is the rhythm of bad things, our friction with the alliance has just subsided, and if we enter their territory, there will be a war." The Commander finally stopped bale at this time.
"Captain, I think we can call for help from the Alliance, so that we can not only eliminate the suspicion of our invasion, but also get out of the current predicament." The adjutant was on hand to give advice.
"Well, that's the only way, communications soldier, use the public channel in the direction of the alliance to ask for rescue from the alliance side with clear code, and explain our situation." The commander decisively took the adjutant's advice.
"Hey, general, you see, it was the Star Covenant warship that used the clear code to ask for help from our side, saying that it had encountered a mechanical failure, and the entire battleship could not control the direction at all, and was coming towards us." The Coalition's communications officers soon discovered this clear signal for help.
"Send me a fleet to check the situation, and if the situation is true, tow them to the Boundary Star and dock, let the Star Alliance come directly to repair it, and let the fleet closely monitor me during the whole process." The major general of the border guard force decisively ordered, after all, if the other party asked for help, it was basically impossible to deliberately dig a trap for his side, otherwise this would definitely be a matter of provoking a war, but it was impossible for the Alliance to let the Alliance people search their warships, even if it was a critical moment, it was impossible to do so, after all, the warships on both sides had a lot of secrets, so they could only let their warships be towed to the deserted Border Star to dock, and let them send maintenance ships and warships to repair through telecommunications. However, the whole process must be closely monitored, and in the process of monitoring, you may be able to discover a little secret of the Covenant warship.
