Whether it is pirates or unofficial groups of the Empire coming in and out of MR240, there are always some impulsive guys, who act as a source of wealth and experience for both sides on weekdays, and the three-way standoff period in the MR240 jump circle is no exception.

Sporadic battles do not require the participation of pirates, like Pan Wen, who leads a fleet of more than one million tons, and does not even collect the wreckage, they stay in the center of the fleet to seize the time to let the personnel rest. It's not that they don't value the wreckage, it's that they're grabbing too much, and if the situation continues to deteriorate, Starbase is likely to start requisitioning these ready-made materials.

In the Grand Fleet, Pan Wen's fleet is not conspicuous, no matter how big or small the ships are, they are all points in the huge coordinate system, and they only occupy a corner close to the star base in the tactical array spread out for tens of thousands of kilometers, and the fleet of only three ships is not many people on the scene except for the star base command and other first-level members of the alliance, and not many people on the scene know that this is the largest fleet outside the star base in terms of tonnage.

It must be mentioned that the fleet lineup announced by the star-based battlefield commander does not mark the specific type of ship, but only distinguishes between patrol ships, frigates, and cruisers, and the only exception is that complete logistics ships such as dock ships will be marked with specific locations, indicating that they should be protected as much as possible when there is a situation. The representation of the public formation data of each fleet is the number of the shipowner, because the three organizations of Segeis do not belong to each other, and members of the same organization cannot know who the owner is through the number, which largely avoids the possibility of seeking revenge through battle.

First-level members have the possibility of becoming members of the League Committee, and it is impossible for no one to pay attention to them at all. After all, Pan Wen is a minority who only cares about causing trouble, and most first-level members will collect information from other members of the same level. After staying in the blockade for a while, the Interstellar Trade Friendship Alliance, the Seguis Grand Alliance, and the Star Brotherhood each moved closer to their own brothers, and there were already several groups of good-sized fleets around the Panvin fleet.

There was no active contact, and the scene seemed to be permeated with pre-war repression.

Pan Wen didn't join the worry, he slept soundly.

From beginning to end, it was caused by his audacity to grab the mercenaries and continue to spoof, and he could still fall asleep at this time, because he had the bottom in his heart.

The assembled forces at the scene, plus the satellite-based frigate, alone have 120 frigates of various types, and the number of patrol ships is even higher. Players have indeed become stronger, or it is very good to have six or seven small ships against a frigate, but in group combat, the difference in the level of the battleship is more easily reflected, because the possibility of the small ship having a chance to recover its shield once it is attacked will be smaller, which will lead to an increase in the battle damage ratio outside the range gap. In order to defeat the current assembled fleet, it is necessary to rely on the player's own strength, and I am afraid that it will not be enough to assemble thousands of patrol ships.

A thousand warships, even if the player can get them in a short time, it will take time to jump in hyperspace. After coming, the battle command is also a big problem, and the battle command must be dispersed to a small team, or divided into left and right wings as a whole, in that environment, the possibility of the boss's battleship being set on fire first is almost non-existent, even if the gold uses the super cannon, it will not necessarily be analyzed after a few rounds of attacks. In addition, regardless of the formation to make the frigate group safer, there is not only one boss in this large pile, Segeis is the player's staged enemy, and there is no national industry to support it, the BOSS's reserves must be richer, and this pile on the scene has to have two or three boss-level shipowners in addition to him, and the possibility of the Golden being forcibly set on fire is even smaller.

In short, no matter how noisy the player is, there will be no danger at all from the time Pan Wen is woken up to the time he arrives at the Cambridge control room. On the official side of the Islamic Empire, not to mention the time-consuming speculation, the mobilization of the fleet is much slower than that of the player, and there will be no results in dozens of hours, and at that time, the replacement troops of the Segois organization have arrived.

His judgment was similar to the actual situation, and many of the Imperial players were waiting for the news through the forum with sad faces at this time.

They are not mentally retarded, and there are many reasons for this misjudgment, the main one is that they did not expect that Segeis would make the decision to block the MR240 jump circle in a short period of time, almost challenging the entire empire with a small pirate body!

Of course, looking back now, things are actually not so serious for the Empire, because in addition to MR240, the Empire's MR238 star field can also jump to the MR241 star field, but the environment of that jump circle is not good, and it belongs to the asteroid collision prone area.

There is MR238 corresponding to the jump circle, and the Federation will definitely be on the side of Segeis to sing the drama before the incident, and it is obvious that the possibility of the empire making concessions is not small!

The statement just issued by the Federation said that the Gabriel Federation strongly condemned the use of mercenaries by the Islamic Empire to brutally disrupt the order of the common development of all mankind in MR241, and did not rule out the possibility of sending a military fleet to intervene if the Empire insisted on going its own way.

It seems to be just official wording, according to the information provided by some ground bastard players, the Federation is already organizing a fleet, and once the Isis Empire uses the official fleet to intervene, they will really rush in and intervene.

The Confederation issued a strongly-worded statement naming names, and the Empire's enemies were on the one hand. On the other hand, the star crystal output of MR241 is an important guarantee for the redistribution of wealth in human society, which in turn provides a monetary basis for prosperous interstellar trade. The monopoly of the galaxy by either party will inevitably cause a large local inflation of star coins, which will threaten the entire interstellar trade system! And the Islamic Empire, under the premise that the Federation does not intervene, obviously has the ability to monopolize MR241, so the fragile balance cannot be broken.

If this situation continues, the empire will either publicly apologize and promise that there will be no large-scale sweep of other people's homes in the future, or it will be tough to the end and do a fight to detonate a real war in MR241! There is another way, which is for the official to continue to argue and let the mercenaries come back to solve it themselves, whether it succeeds or not, this is almost an inevitable way.

To deal with a large fleet that is already prepared, mercenaries are not necessarily willing to fight. Obviously, the battle loss ratio will be very high, and on the other hand, Segois is an NPC force, and its status in their eyes is far inferior to that of the Federation. However, the discerning people also sensed that the situation was difficult, and as time went on, there might be other fleets in Segeis, and they were trying to broker all parties back to MR241 to put things down.

A few hours later, the battle finally broke out, not months ahead of a massive melee between the Empire and the federal mercenaries, and this was the first time that mercenaries had been involved in a battle with a strategic purpose.

In a short period of time, the player organized nearly 2,000 patrol ships to return to MR241, half of which confronted the Federation Front with outposts and NPC troops, and the other half attacked from multiple angles.

The mercenary fleet of small boats challenged the group of Xingjiga frigates with similar behavior to the death squad, which was greatly unexpected by Segeis, reflected in the scene, after Xingji obtained the movement through the reconnaissance array, he actually asked the ships to prepare for battle in place!

Pan Wen was also woken up by the second host Doudou after the star-based command came out, and returned to the captain's command platform.

The player has just finished jumping and has just turned on the engine to be captured by the reconnaissance array that has been rolled out, due to the quantum Yongdao avoidance algorithm, the nearest one is more than one million kilometers, including the acceleration time, and it will take a little time for the battle to start. Seeing the situation, Pan Wen used his first-class membership to make a proposal, asking to lead a team to attack the enemy in the rear.

The reason he used was very simple: when fighting in multiple directions, it is more disadvantageous for large ships to turn slower, and superior forces should be concentrated to solve the rear first, leaving a safe passage for the follow-up troops.

Presumably because the loot presented by Pan Vin proved his lethality, the proposal was immediately approved, and he turned back to meet the enemy with six other fleets, three of which were equipped with light cruisers and thirty frigates of various types. When this fleet turned around, the other ship groups also adjusted, shrinking the defensive zone.

"Hold on to the flagship as much as possible, win this game, and I'm sure Segois will compensate you."

In a battle of this scale, it is unlikely that a single ship will be set on fire by the group, but due to the difference in the number of enemies and friends, it is impossible to keep the fleet intact, and it is possible for the unlucky fleet to be completely destroyed. He is not fooling, the order of Segeis requires a lot of money to maintain, like now fighting for the overall interests of Segeis, as long as the owner of the ship does not die, there must be financial compensation or special preferential rights, without this, it is impossible for Segeis to continue to mobilize non-direct troops in the next battle.

A short way to appease your teammates, the tactic is relatively simple, just leave the zodiac and wait for the enemy to come. This tactic is often used by Pan Wen, and the biggest advantage is that it can avoid the asteroid on the ecliptic plane from creating a continuous occlusion, and take advantage of the range of the full-size cannon as much as possible. The disadvantage is that they have also lost the cover of the asteroid, and the enemy can still retain a sufficient number of them when they are close to the firing distance, which is the disadvantage of their own side.

In order to avoid a bad situation, Pan Wen and his fleet did not leave the ecliptic plane very far, and the position was also slightly adjusted before the battle, and the enemy's approaching formation was in an unequal position, trying to avoid the possibility of simultaneous firefights. If they deal with the entire rear enemy alone, it is easy for the mercenary ship group to adjust their speed and maintain simultaneous engagement, but the mercenaries have to deal with the entire Segeis Grand Fleet led by Xingji, ignoring the hundreds of patrol ships that are enough for them to drink a few pots, which is possible to achieve Pan Wen's tactical goal.

Compared with the pre-war plans and adjustments of the two sides, the battle process itself is nothing brilliant, and the large-scale confrontation is hard, and countless high-energy pillars of light and missiles are piercing and hitting on the battlefield, and there is nothing fancy to speak of.

In less than half an hour of violent fighting, the two sides lost a total of thousands of warships of various types, and if it were not for the strong firepower of the mobile satellite-based front, they might have been destroyed. By the time there was a sporadic exchange of fire left at the scene, half of the frigates, including the star-based convoy, were wrecked, and even the fleets that fled from the battle reappeared.

It should be said that in large-scale team battles, this is the worst point for NPCs, especially a force like Segeis that is not a real natural country, and it will never be able to achieve 100% battle damage.

The situation in the rear is relatively much better, because a large area is reserved in the middle of the blockade formed by Segeis and the Federation, and there are reconnaissance ships patrolling behind, so the overall number of enemy forces in the rear is much smaller, accounting for about forty percent of the overall attack. In addition, the fleets that follow Pan Wen are all high-ranking members of the Friendly Alliance, and their elite and above crew members are more popular, and the average captain is better, resulting in a much higher firepower intensity in the unit area than the number comparison indicates. With the help of patrol ships delaying part of the enemy's forces, after losing ten frigates, the threat was controlled by taking advantage of the position of non-simultaneous engagements, and only three frigates were destroyed in the mobile battles behind, and the battle loss rate was slightly lower than that of the forward troops, and there was no escape.

And Pan Wen's fleet finally suffered its first major loss after the installation of the Gold, the port side main gun and hangar of the second lieutenant who had just been commissioned were destroyed, the left side of the main body was almost torn, and twenty crew members were missing.
