"Damn, how the hell did the enemy's flagship come to the rear of our blockade? I can understand a small ship, with some advanced stealth systems, maybe it can indeed sneak through our blockade, but who can tell me how such a large flagship-level air carrier came to our rear? "Vice Admiral Nakach, commander of the First Fleet of the Imperial Army, was firing at his staff headquarters.

"Your Excellency General, just now we detected a special energy fluctuation in the rear of our army, and then detected an abnormal spatial message, according to the deduction of the General Staff, the enemy may have invested a new type of war weapon, which can capture the special guidance signal across the domain space by the opponent's flagship, and then the flagship directly tore through the space through a special jump engine and jumped over."

Nakach frowned. The result of the General Staff's deduction is obviously quite logical, but for the Imperial Army, this is bad news that cannot be worse - when their own fleet is facing off with the enemy's huge fleet, there may be an unknown number of enemy flagship-level warships in their rear, how to fight this battle?

However, at this moment, the reality on the battlefield cannot help Nakach to ponder.

"Have you contacted Gemati? Or any pilot of the First Brigade, what is the situation of the First Brigade? ”

"I'm sorry General, there is obvious interference in the enemy's flagship position where the First Brigade is located, and we have not been able to contact any of the fighters of the First Brigade except for the special powerful energy fluctuations that may have caused the enemy's jump. Moreover, due to the presence of the jamming force field, our radar and scanning devices have not yet been able to detect effective intelligence. ”

"Damn! Are the people in the Imperial General Assembly Department and the people in the Scientific Research Institute all eating dry food! Our empire has such a great advantage in mechanical technology, how long did it take to break through the signal blockade of a mere flagship of the enemy? ”

Nakach slammed his fists into the podium in anger.

"What is the situation in the direction of the blockade now?" Nakach tried to calm himself down, anger is of no use to the current situation, only by calming down and thinking about countermeasures can he find a way to survive in this predicament.

"The battle situation in the direction of the blockade line is currently deadlocked, after all, we have had more than one confrontation with the Voseiken fleet on the opposite side, but the opposing mecha and fighter units have stopped the same crazy behavior just now, and the staff speculates that there may be two kinds. One is that the enemy believed that the losses caused by the forced breakthrough of the blockade line were too great, so he stopped such actions. The second is that the enemy has already made contact with the enemy's flagship in our rear, and it has been confirmed that the enemy's strength in our rear is sufficient to encircle and suppress our first brigade, so there is no need to send additional follow-up troops. General, whatever the possibility, we think we should send reinforcements to the First Brigade as soon as possible. ”

"Reinforcements?" Nakach sneered, "You're going to find me extra troops to reinforce?" Look at the front line, I will send a flagship-level warship to the rear to support? If we do that, we will immediately expose a hole in our stalemate defense, allowing the enemy to tear through our blockade, and what will happen to me when the time comes? Your staff suggests give me some brains! ”

The members of the staff were speechless. "But the General! Our First Fleet only has one mecha unit stationed here, the First Brigade of the Star Knights, and the other brigades are not near here at present, if we lose the cover of the mecha troops, our fleet only relies on fighters to fight, I'm afraid it will be ......."

There was an unpleasant silence and silence in Command. Everyone knows the importance of the First Brigade. Not only because it is a mecha unit of a star knight, but more importantly, in fleet warfare, once the distance between the two sides is close, then the role of fighters and mecha will be greatly exerted, after all, compared to the huge size of the battleship, the flexibility of the fighter and mecha, especially the mecha, allows them to easily approach the ship, and then the powerful attack power is enough for the mecha to strike at some of the ship's equipment, such as exposed naval guns, radar and other equipment. At the same time, the super destructive ability of high-level mechs makes most ships unable to withstand the continuous attack of these high-level mechs. As a bulky ship, even if it has a strong shield and thick armor, it is quite powerless in the face of mechs, and may even be destroyed by a mecha alone.

"General, Lieutenant General Nakach! We detected that the strange energy fluctuation that appeared just now is gone!! The radar officer at the command center reported excitedly.

Hearing this, Nakach immediately stepped closer, "The fluctuations are gone?" Did the enemy have a new flagship jump over? Will you be able to get in touch with the first team? Nakach asked impatiently.

"Report to the general, according to our radar scans, the enemy does not have a new flagship in the rear of our army, and the signal of the 1st Brigade has also appeared! At the moment, the number of remnants of the First Brigade is ...... 107 ......" radar officers seemed to be frightened by this number and could barely speak.

107 machine! You must know that just a few hours ago, the first team was still a fully staffed mecha group with 300 machines, and after only a short period of time, more than half of the battle had already been lost.

"Can you get in touch with Gemati! I'm going to talk to Gemati right away! ”

"I'm sorry General, we can only scan the identification signal of the First Brigade now, the interference shielding force field has not disappeared, and the communication between the First Brigade and the First Brigade has not been restored."

Nakach blushed and stared at the radar's light screen, which flashed the remaining mecha signals of the First Brigade, and the disappearance of each point of light meant that the First Brigade had fallen a mecha again.

"Moreover, General, according to our signal identification, among the remaining mechs of the First Brigade, there is no mecha identification signal of Captain Gemati." The radarman again threw a huge bomb.

"Are you trying to tell me that Gemati has died in battle?" Nakach's red eyes stared at the radarman. The radarman was just a small sergeant, how could he face such an angry fleet commander, he was so frightened that he stammered, "Yes, yes, general." I think, probably, probably Captain Gemati has died. ”

Nakach couldn't help but close his eyes. Gomati was killed in battle, the 1st Mech Group lost more than half of its losses, and the battle was fierce in the direction of the blockade, but there was still one of the enemy's flagships and more flagships in the rear. The situation on the battlefield can be said to be irreparably bad for the current First Fleet of the Imperial Army.

Nakach smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid we can't hold this line of defense." Ships in front of the battle were ordered to prepare for evacuation. Inform the rear and all nearby garrison fleets of our battle situation, report to the Imperial Army Headquarters, and request to abandon the current defensive star field and retreat to the second line of defense. ”

As Nakach's voice fell, the silence in the command seemed to be audible as if a pin had dropped. This sudden outbreak of battle is probably the first defeat of the Imperial army on the scale of the fleet since it encountered the Phosyken in 50 years.
