Chapter 187: Déjà vu
In the command center of the Doug, Li Muran looked at the spaceships that suddenly appeared on the projection, and his expression was rare and dignified, after the calculation of the brain, the number of these spaceships that went and returned was about six million, of which mainly all kinds of small and medium-sized warships, as well as a small number of large warships and several of the largest flagships, and more than a dozen residential warships were protected in the most central area.

But this is not the point, the point is that when these ships just set off, there were more than 10 million spaceships, most of which were warships, and a fleet of this size could already support a small-scale local war, not to mention that those warships were all the elite of the capital legion.
Those who know the inside story know that they are fleeing for their lives, and those who don't know may think that they are going on an expedition, in fact, what they openly say to the people is that they are going to go on an expedition to defeat the starry beasts that come to attack.
On the contrary, Li Muran's fleet looked more like a refugee, except for two habitation-type spaceships, there were only four hundred ordinary warships to escort them, which was not comparable to the luxurious version of the escape fleet of the magnates in the capital area.
However, after only ten days, the lost troops were driven back to the capital area, and the millions of warships could not have been lost, but could only be destroyed for unknown reasons.
So what Li Muran is most concerned about now is what happened to them, so that they fled back to the capital area in such a mess, according to monitoring, the speed of those spaceships just now reached nearly seventy-four times the speed of light, and such a speed is not possible with federal technology.
It is obvious that they have used some method to shorten the service life of the spacecraft to increase the speed of the spacecraft to this extent, and they have been forced to this extent, and what they have encountered must not be an ordinary accident.
Therefore, Li Muran and the others, who were originally about to set off, also stopped, and it was impossible to leave the capital area rashly without understanding the situation, at least the huge defensive circle here can still give people a great sense of security.
You can't get any useful information by sitting there, so the person who inquires about the news is quickly sent out, and at this time, a middle-aged man with a resolute face suddenly speaks, "Could it be that they have encountered the fleet of the Kuru Alliance?" Judging by the direction they came, it seems that they came from the Eighth Star Domain, and the wormhole connected to the Kuru Alliance is in that direction! ”
This middle-aged man's name is Turner, and he is the deputy commander of Li Muran's fleeing fleet, although he is only an adjutant, but in fact, the entire fleet is mainly commanded by him, because the commander-in-chief is Master Crewe, but Master Crewe actually has no experience in this area, so he plays a supervisory role.
At the same time, Turner is also an outstanding retired soldier in the federal army, and has experience in commanding tens of thousands of fleets in the army, and even participated in small-scale wars with the Kuru Alliance in the border area, and led the fleet under his command to achieve good results, so it is normal for him to think of the people of the Kuru Alliance first at this time.
His statement immediately caused a discussion in the command center, most of the people felt that this speculation was very likely, but some people felt that it was unlikely, after all, the Kuru Alliance and the two sides had not had a war of more than one million for a long time, and it was not easy to make the 10 million elite capital army so embarrassed.
A small-scale Kuru fleet would not be able to achieve this effect, and if it was a large-scale invasion of the Kuru fleet, it would be impossible for them not to receive any news, even if they were excluded by those powerful people, but the news network that the Whitson Group had operated for so many years was still there.
Li Muran was not familiar with these things, so when they were discussing it hotly, Li Muran was silently looking at the fleets that had gone and returned through the observation equipment, wanting to see if he could find any clues from them.
It's a pity that until all those spaceships returned to the various spaceports, he didn't see any clues, except that the number of spaceships returned was a lot less, and the rest of the spaceships looked very normal, but the formation was a little scattered, but this was really not an abnormal place for the fleet that had just escaped.
However, Li Muran had a very bad premonition at this time, he felt that the news that these spaceships were going and returning was probably much worse than they expected, and he didn't know why he had such a premonition, but this feeling was very strong.
His premonition didn't last long, it wasn't that the premonition disappeared, but it directly turned into reality, and the people who went out to inquire about the news returned to the spaceship one after another, reporting the news they had inquired about to Li Muran.
As the news was put together, the expressions on everyone's faces became more and more difficult to see, if those people found out that it was not fake news, then the situation was indeed unexpectedly grim.
According to the information returned from the inquiry, this powerful refuge fleet was originally preparing to go to the Eighth Star Domain, although it was close to the Kuru Alliance, but it was precisely because of this that the defense force there even exceeded that of the capital area, and the military strength there naturally far exceeded that of the capital area.
So it is undoubtedly the safest place in the entire Federation, as for the Kuru Alliance, there is no need to worry at all, the two sides have been facing each other for tens of thousands of years, if the other party had that ability, it would have already been fought.
If the Starry Sky Beast really kills the Eighth Star Domain, there is no need to worry, after all, if the Starry Sky Beast fights, it doesn't matter if you are the Lanyu Federation or the Kuru Alliance, as long as it is a creation of technological civilization, it will be destroyed and devoured by them.
At that time, the Kuru Alliance will not say that it will take advantage of the fire to rob, I am afraid that it will be too late for them to hide, let alone make it up themselves, but if the Lanyu Federation can't hold it, they may also come to help, and the truth of cold lips and teeth is common to the whole universe.
I have to say that the calculations of the magnates in the capital area are very good, but this world is always full of accidents, their fleet has just arrived in the eighth star field, and they have encountered a large number of starry sky beasts besieged, they tried to break through, and also eliminated many starry sky beasts.
But those starry sky beasts were like endless, they had lost more than thirty percent of the battleships in one day and one night, but the scale of those starry sky beasts seemed to have not decreased at all, and even faintly felt that those starry sky beasts had become more dense.
Under the hopelessness of breaking through, they could only order a retreat, in fact, at this time they were already surrounded by the starry sky beasts, and the difference between retreat and breakthrough was not big, but the starry sky beasts in the direction of the capital circle were much fewer after all, and it was easier to break through from this direction, of course, this was also because the capital circle was the safest place except for the eighth star field.
Originally, they thought that this would be another difficult breakout battle, but as a result, they did not even have a single battleship damaged, and easily broke through the encirclement of the starry sky beast in the direction of the capital area, although they didn't know why, but it still made them feel a glimmer of hope.
At that time, they didn't know that this so-called hope was actually just an illusion in despair, and it was this illusion that made them try to turn around and break through in the direction of the Eighth Star Field, but they were immediately attacked by the fierce attack of the starry beasts again, and in just a few hours of hand-to-hand combat, they lost nearly 10% of their warships again.
Faced with such a situation, they finally figured out that the other party wanted to drive them back to the capital area, but even if they knew, they were helpless, and they had to do what the other party thought about the current situation, otherwise they would be buried in this cold universe on the spot.
Of course, they also felt very uneasy in their hearts, because the behavior of these starry sky beasts was too weird, and they usually encountered a situation where they would not die, where would they be like now, like grazing, they wanted to drive them to a designated place.
In fact, this time the matter itself was full of weirdness, first of all, they had never heard of this kind of starry sky beast with such a large population, not only had they never heard of such a starry sky beast on his side, but even the people lurking on the side of the Kuru Alliance had never found any record of this starry sky beast over there.
And then these starry sky beasts appeared too weirdly, spanning a huge group of nearly half a light year, and they were not discovered until they attacked the third star domain, and this is also the case in the eighth star field, at least they did not receive the news that the eighth star domain legion was attacked or destroyed, that is to say, these astonishing number of starry sky beasts completely escaped the detection of the eighth star domain and entered the Lanyu Federation!
The meaning contained in this is too amazing, so that all those who heard the news for the first time couldn't help but feel a chill to the bone, and at this time, everyone in the command center looked like they had been greatly frightened, and their faces were extremely ugly.
"You say, will the Federation already be full of that kind of starry beast?" After half a ring, Deputy Commander Turner spoke with difficulty.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, no one responded, he looked up strangely and looked around, only to see Vivian and Master Crewe looking at Li Muran in great surprise, he followed their gazes, but saw that Li Muran's face was gloomy as if it could drip water.
Li Muran ignored their gazes, and his mind at this time was all immersed in that feeling of déjà vu! (To be continued.) )
