At the time of the urgent briefing, Pan Wen, the mercenary motley legion, and the coalition forces in charge of the anti-occupation war in the left sector were cleaning up the mess in K5.

Perhaps it felt that it would take eight or nine hours for this fleet to rush back to approach the K11 Eastern Front, and the Western Front Command did not issue a recall order with the emergency notice, but instead gave the forward commanders greater freedom of movement to relieve their worries.

Unfortunately, despite the right to freedom of action, the selflessness of the coalition commander left everyone speechless.

Under the pretext that the K11 battle situation was urgent, the commander of the coalition forces cooperated with the command headquarters to transfer a class of reconnaissance ships in the left flank star sector, leaving only the minimum necessary for reconnaissance and liaison.

Without enough reconnaissance ships of the first class, the various problems of large group operations will become more prominent, and more resources need to be invested to coordinate the reconnaissance team of the fleet itself, and at the same time, the entire fleet will also need to bear greater combat risks.

The commander of the coalition forces made a decision, according to the nature of the mercenaries, they should have broken up in two, but there were some small circumstances on the scene, so they could not focus on bickering for the time being.

Thanks to a certain lucky class of reconnaissance ships, the fleet losses in the K5 Resident Star Recapture War were controlled to a low degree, and the mercenaries were not busy with bugs, but with the essence.

At that time, taking advantage of the hollow in the main group in front of the swarm, Pan Wen ordered to continuously drop nearly ninety percent of all the prototypes of the official version of the anti-living weapons that were temporarily transferred to the Diamond.

The swarm's interception system is completely different from that of humans, mainly by delivering a large amount of plasma beams or plasma bullets with medium energy levels, and the pursuit is not precision but density.

It's a pity that the big bugs that specialize in providing high-density interception capabilities are almost negligible in the medium and long range, and the defect of this interception system is that the division of labor is too clear, and there must be a certain front structure in the face of the human fleet, and when this front structure is bitten down enough to provide support weapons to penetrate the space, a certain part will appear particularly vulnerable.

As a result, after the carrier tested various coded wave missiles and launched a propulsive blast, only about 2% of the total amount of the remaining swarm was damaged, but more than 6,000 essences of various sizes were left on the scene!

In the end, which of these information modes play a role in it, it is also necessary to collect on-site information, cooperate with the data collected by the fleet, and return to the BU plan for further analysis. However, the scene was detonated by the appearance of these thousands of essences.

I don't know if the Demon King or the high-level bug commander knelt down in the annihilation or anti-living weapon attack of a class of reconnaissance ships, or gave up resistance, and the battle that followed basically revolved around the battle near the drop point of the essence.

In the previous battles, most people did not know enough about the essence, but after the last weapon test, the BU Project Center has been announcing the relevant research progress, so that more and more people realize how valuable the essence is.

In a nutshell, the essence is equivalent to the fusion energy core, but it has the advantages of being lighter, safer and smaller than normal devices, and is very suitable for replacing the auxiliary engines of various medium-sized warships, providing safer energy and lower maintenance costs for the non-navigation operation and life of the ship.

Speaking of alternative secondary engines, it has to be mentioned that about a third of the auxiliary engines of the existing lightweight frigates are not engines, but nuclear fission batteries.

Compared with the shipboard nuclear fusion system that cannot be carried in medium-sized warships, the fission battery is very small, and the energy output can be completed without the cooperation of other equipment in use. Compared with the normal auxiliary engine system, the fission battery, which does not have the advantage of size, has the advantage of economical long-term use.

Unfortunately, even if the fission battery has many advantages, it cannot compare with its most serious hidden danger - when the core part of the ship is severely damaged, it will directly lead to a significant decrease in the direct and indirect survival rate of all members of the ship. Completely contrary to the ship safety strategy of "saving the lives of most crew members when the ship sinks", this thing has never been able to occupy the majority of the medium warship market.

In short, replacing the warship's secondary engine system is definitely a more profitable industry than selling it to the resident star as a fusion energy source, and the valuation of the essence is naturally rising. After the BU project released information, it was estimated that the smallest insect essence was worth 100 star coins, and after being transformed, it could provide three to four years of uninterrupted internal life for the corvette; The Great War Worm Essence is even estimated at 8,000 Star Coins, which is enough to provide a one-generation extension (total duration of about 60 years) full-life non-navigation requirements for heavy frigates, and share a small amount of weapon system pressure on the main engine.

A heavy frigate is only 20,000 or 30,000 star coins, and the auxiliary engine will cost a maximum of five or six hundred star coins, and an essence will be sold for 8,000 star coins.

The account is not calculated like this, the future essence of the sub-engine 10,000 star coins plus a little periphery, is the cost of the whole life of sixty years, and even because of the overall energy sufficiency, you can use a slightly lower power but more mature and safe main engine. The conventional auxiliary engine of a heavy frigate does not need to fight in the sixty-year cycle, and half of the time it is sailing, it will consume more than 5,000 star coins of special fuel for the auxiliary engine, and it will also require two to four personnel costs, and the crew will have to sign at least 12 contracts in 60 years, even if the most ordinary crew signing fee and salary will also exceed 3,000 star coins.

In fact, the use of the essence of the war insect in the future, the light cruiser is the most injured, the existing light cruiser is equipped with a fusion system, but the power is also slightly insufficient, and the heavy frigate is also undertaking more and more patrol and combat missions with the development of technology.

Anyway, at this moment, the mercenaries are indeed excited because of the higher and higher valuation of the essence.

After a brief discussion with the researchers who planned to enter the fleet with the official prototype of the anti-living weapon, Pan Wen announced the distribution of the essences: all the essences will be verified by the researchers, and at least half of them will be transferred to the mercenary participants.

If it was an ordinary valuable thing, no one might care what Pan Wen said, and just go up and grab it. However, the hidden dangers contained in the essence of the problems in the last test of the anti-living weapon experiment have been announced by the BU Project Center, such as the unclean essence will become the source of infection, and the environment is suitable and may regenerate into insects, so now everyone still agrees with the statement that the BU agency conducts the test.

As for the half that will be cut off, it is not Pan Wen's, the essence of the previous problem accounts for about forty percent, if it is not improved, Pan Wen will not be able to get a dime, and the BU planning department still needs the normal essence to conduct various experiments. Of course, the situation of the essence appearing in front of me is no longer the state of pure "luck" at that time, and the proportion of pure essence should be higher.

Back at the scene, with the self-destruction of a class of reconnaissance ships as the node, the battle lasted for more than three hours before and after before it could be regarded as surviving the continuous encirclement of the swarm.

Three hours of omnidirectional full-load combat is already overloaded in space warfare, not only old warships, but even new warships with more adequate energy supply have reached their limits, which is manifested in a decrease in weapon hits, increased cooldowns, slower shield recharge, and so on.

However, before the combat effectiveness and battle loss ratio of the entire fleet climbed to a critical point, the problem of K5 was solved.

The battle is not over here, but the subsequent swarm does not have continuity and sufficient strength, and the fleet no longer needs to be at full capacity to rest alternately - the main thing is to let the machines rest, clean up the battlefield, organize the data, and start to execute it in preparation for subsequent decisions.

The statistics were quickly sent to the commander.

The miscellaneous fleet lost 12% of the battle, 4% of the personnel, 44% of the mecha fighter unit, and 28% of the Apostle fighters. The coalition fleet lost 17% of the battle, 6% of the personnel, and 21% of the mechs and fighters.

The loss rate of the Miscellaneous Army was significantly lower than that of the Coalition Army, which almost made the Coalition people drop their jaws, but among the Miscellaneous Army, no one was surprised except for the Alnwick who were a little surprised.

In fact, the loss of the miscellaneous army is smaller, not only is there the only flagship commander in the miscellaneous army who can leave K11 at will, but more importantly, the players involved in the action already have a slight advantage over the NPC mid-level officers at this stage, coupled with better subjective initiative and lack of fear of the will to fight, there will be a more significant gap in large-scale frontal battles.

In this battle, the mecha unit with the largest battle losses undoubtedly made a great contribution, not only in the first wave of attacks to avoid the fleet from being attacked on all sides, but also in the continuous operations in the back, the mecha fighter unit also completed the rescue and breakthrough missions many times. At the same time, it also produced the largest loss since the unrestricted mecha entered service, and the battle loss ratio exceeded 40% based on the calculation of the overrun mecha unit alone, almost halving the team.

Even if the captain Bernice was not among the battle damage, Pan Wen felt a little sorry for these excellent soldiers, and asked the deputy captain Nadezhda to go down to appease the team members as soon as possible, maybe they would need to be used next.

"We're going back, K11 needs us."

"You can't catch up, we should take K6 down and cut off the hands and feet of the left wing swarm."

"If K6 is stronger than here, do you think we still have what it takes to win? Listen to me, go back and keep the K11s, and we'll have a chance to clean them up again. ”

"Kick out the K6 and you can liberate the defenses on the Western Front, they are much closer than you."

"You didn't think about the pressure of the soldiers, we need buffer time."

There was still intermittent fighting outside, and during the meeting, the coalition commander and Pan Wen had already quarreled over going to stay.

Pan Wen fought the main battle, and the commander of the coalition forces retreated, and the two sides insisted on their own words, and they couldn't convince each other for a long time.

In fact, although Pan Wen has sufficient reasons, he is already in a passive position, if he can't convince the coalition army, the miscellaneous army will not be able to act alone unless he is willing to fight to destroy everything.

"Looks like we all need to calm down, why don't we call all the captains to vote in half an hour, you see?"

The coalition commander hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed to Pan Wen's suggestion, after all, if he didn't bring back the ragtag army, his own fleet might not be able to do anything big in a swarm of the size of the intelligence.

Pan Wen's move actually leaves the final decision to the player.

The coalition fleet belongs to the two less friendly countries of the Empire and the Federation, and may be reluctant to agree in battle, but it is unlikely that the decision will be made openly in favor of the other party's opinion, and there is a high probability that a random vote will be held. The players are different, although they are also from two countries, but their ultimate goal is to destroy the epoch boss or destroy the resurrection point by the epoch boss, in order to advance the epoch.

Players did not disappoint Pan Wen, and they were more aware that in order to deal with the Demon King, at the right time, such as when there is a large army of NPCs who do not lag behind and are willing to cooperate, they must have the determination to pay the price, which may really weaken the war potential of the Demon King Army.

In the end, the miscellaneous army and the combined fleet of the coalition decided to continue the battle with a difference of two thousand captains' votes!
