Chapter 124: Barely Supported

In the next few hours, the Eun fleet, having suffered two defeats, did not launch the next attack for the time being, but they did not retreat on their own initiative, but surrounded the entire northern continent and stopped outside the range of the Kazlan mothership. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoDuring this time, there was no major battle between Ewen and Kazran, except for a few tentative skirmishes against each other.

However, although there was no major battle on the frontal battlefield, their activities in the rear did not stop for a moment. On the Kazlan side, the motherships that had been out of battle before had all been recharged and returned to the battlefield one after another, and in addition to that, more than two hundred warships had joined the defense forces in space from the ground. At this point, excluding the warships lost in the previous battles, the number of warships in the Kazran fleet is now about 1,500, and there are still thirteen intact motherships in the rear of the fleet.

On the other hand, on the other hand, the original warships of more than 2,000 lost more than one-tenth in the previous battle, and now there are only about 1,700 left, although in terms of numbers, there is still a certain advantage compared to Kazran, but the gap in strength between the two sides has been narrowed a lot. Not to mention the motherships that had suffered serious losses in the previous battles, the original twenty-three motherships were wounded and killed, and now there are only thirteen left in the attacking fleet, which is actually the same as the number of Kazlan motherships. Moreover, these thirteen Eun motherships were unable to exert their full combat effectiveness due to the loss of a large number of small warships. If you compare the strength of the motherships of the two sides now, maybe the Kazlan side is slightly better.

However, when Zhou Xin said what he thought in his heart, Spred shook his head, "That's not the case, the roles of the two motherships in the battle are different, and they can't be simply compared together." On the frontal battlefield, even if the combat effectiveness of the Eun mothership is greatly reduced, it can still play a huge role. Not to mention that the number of warships in the Eun fleet is still more than that of the other side, even if it is less, I am afraid that their mothership can still turn the tide of the war. Kazran's mothership is of little use in a frontal battle, and although it seems to be very powerful and can destroy many ordinary warships in one hit, it is a serious disadvantage that it can only be used once in a battle. ”

Hearing Dart mention the Kazlan battleship, Zhou Xin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "However, the Kazlan mothership, which we originally identified as a bit of a chicken, didn't expect it to play such an effective role in the defensive battle. In the first two battles, although it appeared that the Ewen were fighting against the Kazrans, the Kazran fleet was barely holding on. However, the final result of the battle was that Eun suffered more serious losses, most of which were caused by the Kazlan mothership. If Ewen doesn't find a way to deal with it in the next battle, I'm afraid they will eventually lose at the hands of these motherships. ”

Dart shook his head, "Indeed, at first we all thought the Kazlan Mothership was very chicken. But today I found out, including me, that no one recognized the position of these motherships on the battlefield. After a pause, he explained at length, "According to the Kazran mothership's attack pattern, it should not be used directly on a frontal battlefield or behind a normal warship. Instead, it should be like a sniper, fighting as an over-the-horizon attack unit outside of the detection field of view, and if used well, it will play a decisive role just like today's battle. ”

"And, you just mentioned finding a way to deal with it, although I haven't thought of a way to deal with the mothership for the time being, but it's not difficult for an ordinary warship to deal with it. Don't focus all your attention on the powerful attack power of the Kazlan mothership, behind its great power and super long range, there is a narrow attack range and the disadvantage of not being able to move at will, so just arrange the battleship in a more dispersed formation. I don't know why the Ewen haven't noticed this until now, probably because their previous attention was focused on the damage caused by the Kazlan mothership to their own mothership, and they ignored other unnecessary losses. However, the Euns must have realized this by now, otherwise they wouldn't have performed better than the Kazlans in their previous battles. ”

"But." Zhou Xin frowned and asked, "If the Eun mothership has no way to deal with the attack of the Kazlan mothership, then there is no way for them to join the battle next." Once they join the fray, won't they be targeted by the Kazran mothership? ”

Dart had a thoughtful expression, and after a while, he slowly spoke, "Then it's up to the Euns to come up with a way to induce the Kazlan mothership to attack." ”

Of course, not only the rear of Kazran, but also the Eun people on the far southern continent are also supporting the Eun fleet fighting ahead. At the same time as the five Ewen motherships, which had been damaged in the first two battles, returned, a support fleet of five hundred warships took off from the southern continent.

When they first saw the five hundred warships rushing to the battlefield, many people in the command cabin showed surprised looks on their faces. Spred couldn't help but speak: "Isn't two thousand warships all the strength of the Eune?" Now it's more than five hundred, how many warships are they hiding behind their backs? ”

"Who knows." Although Dart also felt quite surprised in his heart, his tone still seemed relatively normal, "But looking at the current situation, the Ewen people are determined to capture the Northern Continent this time." ”

"Now it's up to Kazlan to see if he can hold it." Zhou Xin's tone was obviously worried, "If we are defeated this time, I'm afraid the end will not be as simple as just being occupied with a piece of territory like before." ”

"Worried about what this is doing." Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Dart smiled instead, "Have you forgotten what you just said to yourself?" Although it seems that the Kazlans are struggling to defend, in the defensive battle, they have taken advantage of it. ”

Hearing Dart's words, Zhou Xin couldn't help laughing, but the worry on his face was still not dispelled, "That being said, it was all due to the unexpected sneak attack method of the Kazlan mothership that could cause such an obvious effect. Now that the Ewen have seen the effects of the Kazran Mothership's attack, the same tactic should not work for them anymore. ”

After Zhou Xin finished speaking, Dart's face also showed a hesitant look, and after a long time, he said ambiguously: "I hope that in the next battle, the Kazlan people still have a backhand that we don't know." ”

Originally, Zhou Xin thought that the Ewen fleet should launch a third attack after the support fleet in the rear arrived. But to everyone's surprise, they did not do so, and five hours after the end of the second battle, as soon as the support fleet had crossed the equator, the battle began again.

It was also strange that when the Eun began to move towards the Kazlan Line, the mothership behind them remained in place as if all of them were broken, without any movement, even when the fierce battle between the two sides had already begun, and remained silent except that the engine was not extinguished.

Of course, Zhou Xin and the others would definitely not be naΓ―ve to think that the thirteen motherships were really broken, but they felt puzzled and confused about the actions of the Ewen mothership.

"What are the Ewen doing, is this the tactic they've spent so long coming up with?" Spred's tone was a little incredulous, "Do they just want to defeat their opponents with ordinary warships?" This is inevitably too high a self-esteem. If the Kazlan Mothership intervenes, how will they resist? ”

"Actually, the Eun fleet still has a certain response, don't you see that the distance between their warships is obviously much larger than before? In this way, even if the Kazlan mothership attacks, the losses of the Eun fleet will not be as great as before. At the same time, Spred's previous words seemed to remind him of something, and then Dart's tone was a little hesitant, "Andβ€”I think it seems that the purpose of the Eun fleet is to want the Kazlan mothership to attack them." ”

After listening to Dart's judgment, Zhou Xin seemed to understand something, he didn't speak, and there was a thoughtful expression on his face. But Spred didn't understand what Dart meant, and he asked, "Don't the Euns want to live?" Isn't it death to let the Kazlan mothership attack them? ”

At this time, Dart's thinking also became clear, "It seems that the Ewen people already know the weakness of the Kazlan mothership's slow charging, and this is a tactic they have specially arranged. Compared to the attack on his own mothership, it doesn't matter if Eun's ordinary warships are destroyed. What's more, with the current formation of the Eun fleet, the Kazlan mothership can't destroy many enemies at all. And once the Kazlan mothership did not resist launching an attack on the Eun fleet, then the next thing that awaited them was an attack from the Eun mothership. As he spoke, he gestured to the Eun, which was parked outside of the Kazlan mothership's range, "Didn't you notice that they were still ready to go?" ”

After listening to Dart's explanation, Zhou Xin also fully understood, "It seems that the outcome of the next battle will depend on the Kazlan mothership." If they don't attack, there is a chance that the Kazlan side will win. But if the Kazlan mothership had attacked, they would have been a complete defeat. ”

In the ensuing battle, the Kazlan side also seemed to see the intentions of the Eun. Their mothership only took an attacking stance, but did not attack, and only allowed their own warships, which were slightly smaller than the Eun, to struggle on the frontal battlefield. Fortunately, the number of Eun's warships was not large enough to be crushed, so the entire defense line was basically able to support, and there was even a slight advantage on the local battlefield.

And what Zhou Xin saw in the eyes of Zhou Xin and the others was that there was a ring-shaped battle area in the periphery of the southern continent. This annular area is not connected together, but is intermittently divided into many segments. At the same time, the shape is not a standard ring, in some parts it will be concave inward, while in others it will be noticeably more prominent. What can be seen on the whole ring at the same time is the flash of light that lights up from time to time at that time, and the flashes of light all over the whole ring can be said to be endless, often before it dims here, and the other side lights up again, making the ring look like a glowing halo.

The grappling lasted almost two hours, and during the battle, both sides lost a number of ships. However, Zhou Xin and they did not see that either side could gain a very obvious advantage, and in the absence of the mothership, the attack of the Eun fleet was withstood by the Kazlans, although the losses were slightly larger than the other side, but after more than a hundred warships on the ground joined the defensive fleet, this loss was also compensated. Today, the number of warships in the Kazlan fleet remained at about 1,040, while the number of Eun's warships was around 1,000, and the two sides still maintained a gap of 200 warships.

However, this scorching situation changed forever when the five hundred support ships of the Ewen fleet joined the battle. In just ten minutes, the defending Kazlan fleet felt the intense pressure from their opponents in front of them, and they were forced to retreat some distance under the sudden increase in dense firepower. The loop on the screen suddenly shrunk. However, even so, the Kazlan fleet could not withstand the onslaught of the Eun fleet. Relying on the numerical superiority, in some places, the Eun fleet even rushed directly into the formation of the defending Kazlan warships, forcing the opponent to engage in close combat.

In such a critical situation, the Kazlan mothership, which was parked in the rear, could only make a move. Zhou Xin and the others once again saw six familiar rays in the picture, and the locations pointed by these six rays were the places where the battle situation was most critical. Although these rays were no longer able to inflict as much losses on the Eun fleet as in the previous two battles, with the help of the rays' offensive, the Kazran fleet in these directions still pushed the battle line out to the other side.

After the Kazlan mothership struck, the Eun mothership, which had been stationary in the rear, finally reacted, and they began to move towards the area of engagement between the two sides almost simultaneously. However, after only a short distance, the motherships invariably stopped again......
