Chapter 35: Bait

Li Mingze walked into the headquarters, and in an instant all the officers and soldiers stood up and saluted. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Mingze nodded, walked to his special seat and sat down.

"After the order, all fleets and transports will immediately leave the old alliance star field and withdraw to the edge star orbit to assemble! The planets that have been occupied are under the management of the puppet army. Do you hear me, immediately! Li Mingze sat down and ordered to the officers.

On Billy's Star

A small group of daredevils had just taken over one of the city's main transportation arteries and began to set up makeshift camps. From time to time, there were orbital assault capsules in the sky dragging their long tails and landing towards the battlefield.

Empire planes chased the Coalition planes through the sky, the city was surrounded by smoke, and the roar of explosions and crashed warplanes was heard everywhere.

"Sir! The command center said that the Imperial fleet had been attacked by unknown forces and had withdrawn to the edge of the planet. We won't have support in the future! A communications officer reported to the chief.

"Damn! Without an attack from the orbit, the enemy who had been cowering in cover should have come out again, and I don't know if our forces can hold it! ”

"Command all assault teams to shrink the defensive range and defend with the regimental headquarters as the center." The commander said without changing his face, as the imperial commander responsible for controlling the death army, he didn't treat those death soldiers as human beings at all, as long as he ensured that the imperial soldiers in the regimental headquarters did not die.

Sure enough, not long after receiving the news, the beam of light that had originally rained down from the sky gradually disappeared. The orbital assault capsule, which was constantly landing, also ceased to appear after the last batch landed.

Just two days after Billy's fleet left, a red-painted fleet appeared in Billy's orbit.

"Didn't feel the hyperspace engine! Head to the next galaxy! After an unincomprehensible voice came from the flagship, the entire fleet leapt into hyperspace and disappeared.

"Your Majesty, do you want to inform the Independent Alliance of the news of the mutant ship?"

"Notice, how can it not be notified, just not now." Li Mingze said slowly with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, the Independent Alliance did not know anything about the mutant ship. Sure enough, the Mutant Fleet arrived in the Cape of Good Hope system, home to the Independent Alliance.

"Sir, unidentified fleet has been discovered!" An officer in the flagship of the Independence League reported to Parr.

"Hey, Independent Alliance! This is the Imperial General Command! According to our intelligence, a mutated fleet has appeared in the territory of the Alliance, and the overall livery of the fleet is red! It bears the hallmark of the Combined Fleet of the Alliance Members! This fleet's means of attack is "Devouring", so be careful if you encounter this fleet! Don't try to get close to it! "Li Mingze's cheap voice came from the encrypted channel of the Independent Alliance and the Empire, and then Li Mingze also sent the relevant information of the mutant fleet.

That's right, Li Mingze only reminded them after knowing that the Independent Alliance had encountered the mutant fleet, and he ruthlessly pitted them in line with the principle of being able to pit a few ships.

"Damn! This is the fleet! All warships and space stations fire at once! Parr ordered loudly in frustration!

Taking advantage of a probe not far from the battlefield, Li Mingze saw that the fleet and space station of the Independent Alliance shot a huge amount of light towards the mutant fleet in orbit.

The huge beam quickly tore through dozens of mutant cruisers! But what happened next made the soldiers of the Independent Alliance not believe their eyes!

The battleship, which was originally torn into countless pieces, was slowly converging!

Piece after piece of debris fused together to form a light cruiser that was much smaller and much smaller.

"Damn! Damn it! The firepower is not strong enough! All weapons don't wait for cooldown, fire with all your might! Parr anxiously ordered the fleet to enter a rapid-fire mode regardless of the life of the weapons, and this mode came at the cost of all shipboard weapons that needed to be overhauled before they could be used.

However, even if the rate of fire of the weapons of the Independent Alliance increased by nearly fifty percent, the loss of the mutant fleet was not too large! It's just that there are constantly torn warships that can't be restored because there is too little red matter left, so they can only merge several together.

Dozens of minutes later, the mutant fleet was already approaching the fleet of the Independent Alliance!

That's it! A message from the Imperium came from the communication channel: "Quick, blow up your hyperspace engine!" Then crash-landed on the planet Hao Mong Kok! ”

Pal, who was a dead horse and a live horse doctor, immediately sent the news of blowing up the hyperspace engine and making a forced landing to the ships, and after a while, small explosions broke out in the stern of each warship of the Independent Alliance fleet. Immediately after that, the battleship began to accelerate towards the surface of the planet.

Due to the ship's sheer size and lack of anti-gravity engines, it had to rely on a large number of tugboats to get back into the air after being forced to land on the planet.

Parr and the others naturally didn't know that this was Li Mingze using them as guinea pigs for experiments. Even if you know it, you have to take a risk, after all, the hyperspace passage has been blocked, and if you can't escape, you can't even surrender.

But to their surprise, the fleet really stopped chasing them, but stayed where it was!

The mutant fleet stayed for a while and then circled around, as if wondering how the hyperspace engine had disappeared? The mutant fleet with a low IQ reluctantly jumped into hyperspace and headed for the next galaxy.

Perimeter of the Empire in orbit

Because Li Mingze didn't know what principle the mutant fleet's perception of the hyperspace engine was based on, he could only temporarily disassemble the hyperspace engines of all the warships into parts and install them separately.

Floating in orbit are several models of plastic ships equipped with hyperspace engines, each with a large number of fusion nuclear weapons installed in them, which will be detonated from the inside when they are devoured!

Not far from the decoy ship were missile launchers suspended in space, each containing hundreds of fusion missiles, which had been printed overtime after suspending all industrial development in the colony. And on either side of the launcher are fleets of dismantled hyperspace engines.

Li Mingze said that now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, just wait for the idiot mutation fleet to jump into the trap by itself, and use saturation attacks to consume red matter to the point that it can no longer be reorganized!

Time passed day by day, and just as Li Mingze was waiting for the grass to grow, the battleship's radar scanned the orbit of the edge star and there were hyperspace fluctuations!

A large crimson fleet suddenly appeared in the orbit of the edge star.

The fleet was silent for a moment, then sped off toward the bait boats.

"Don't fire! Let them devour the bait before firing! Li Mingze commanded while sitting on the flagship command chair.
