Chapter 204: Dogfight (1)

One hundred and twenty light-years away from the wreckage of the battlefield where the Chagu clan was wiped out, a huge fleet suddenly jumped out of the jump window, and the large and small mushroom heads all showed the belonging of this fleet, the Glorious Empire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The fleet was in a state of disarray. It can be seen from the fact that after the main body of the fleet broke away from the jump window, a large number of warship wreckage was ejected from the fragments of the jump window, and a large number of warships had completely disintegrated in the process of jumping, and many intelligent creatures were completely turned into powder in the space storm of the wormhole.

But even so, the size of this fleet is not small, at least for now, the number of fleets is still very large, reaching 200,000 ships. The fleet gives people a sense of déjà vu, yes, this is the first fleet of the Roman family, the first army of the Roman family led by the fifth prince Bimont. The forces that were supposed to sweep through all the forces in the galaxy were now so in disarray, the first instinct at the sight of them was that they were fleeing for their lives, and even if they did, they were not out of danger.

In the past year or so, the galaxy has been very unpeaceful, and the Roman family's slave hunter fleet has often lost contact. In the beginning, such incidents did not occur too frequently, and the contact was lost by some relatively small slave trappers. But since a year ago, the situation has become worse and worse, the frequency of wrecks of the slave hunter fleet has become more and more frequent, sometimes there will even be more than a dozen fleets in different star sectors in a day, only a short set of distress messages and then lost contact, some fleets did not even send a distress signal and then all evaporated.

Not only that, but the fleet that was attacked was getting bigger and bigger. At the beginning, it was only a small reconnaissance fleet composed of hundreds of small and medium-sized warships, then a small and medium-sized slave catcher, then a slave catcher fleet composed of thousands of large warships, and later, even a super-large slave catcher fleet composed of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of warships would be completely destroyed. This was a premeditated attack on the armed forces of the Roman family, and the Roman family, as the head of the five nobles, of course, would not swallow their anger, so Bemont and his First Fleet took on the task of investigating the family.

At first, Bimont thought it was a minor problem and didn't pay much attention to it, and I don't know how many times things like this have happened in the history of the family. Bimont took it for granted that this incident was also a confrontation between several major families, and that there was an even more violent situation in the history of the family, when several major families even had a super-large war outside the territory of the empire, only to die down only after the intervention of the royal fleet.

But when he looked deeper, it wasn't that simple. The salvage analysis of the wreckage of the family fleet found that the problem faced by the family this time was very large, and if it was not careful, it would even cause the Roman family to fall into the abyss of hell from which it would never recover. The First Regiment recovered 253 wreckage areas, and although the attackers did a good job of sweeping the tail, Bimont still found clues in the wreckage area. Through analysis, it was found that the attackers were almost all over the empire, and the most terrifying was that two-thirds of the evidence pointed directly at the imperial family.

This is worthy of the family's vigilance, the royal family has always been neutral in the disputes of the five major families, this time secretly attacked the family's slave hunting group, what is behind this incident? Could it be that the development of the family has threatened the dominance of the royal family, and the royal family is secretly weakening the power of the Roman family? Were the other attacks accidental or complicit in the royal family? If it's the latter, it would be terrible, and the Roman family would be in danger.

Bemont knew that there were no eggs under the nest, and immediately took the information he got to the family's Council of Elders, and everything was decided by the Council of Elders. The Presbyterians were surprised by the information sent back by Bemont, and after much verification, they found that the information sent by Bemont was extremely credible. In order to test the attitude of the royal family, and at the same time dry the muscles of the royal family, and prove that the Roman family is not a soft persimmon to be slaughtered, the first and second escort fleets of the family quietly rushed to the galaxy, surrounded and annihilated the royal seventh fleet with the assistance of Bemont, and then quietly evacuated the galaxy, and the follow-up matters were all handed over to Bemont's first legion to deal with the aftermath.

Who knew that this time it actually stabbed the hornet's nest, and the First Legion of Bemont was attacked by the Royal Seventh Fleet and the four fleets that came later. These are five seventh-tier fleets, and although the seventh fleet is fifty-six out of ten, its residual strength is not comparable to that of Monte's sixth-tier fleet.

For months, Bemont kept running away from enemies through random jumps, sending messages for help to her family over and over again. But the technical gap was there, and each time the royal tracking fleet was able to easily find him, and then quickly cannibalize one of them. In fact, Bimont also knew in his heart that if it weren't for the consideration of energy conservation, the First Army would have been surrounded and annihilated by the royal fleet long ago. The Royal Fleet is now playing a snake game with the First Legion, devouring a part of the First Legion at a time, which can not only save energy but also give the First Legion hope, so that Bimont will not have the courage to break the cauldron and die a blow, and finally the First Legion will not be able to get rid of the end of being completely annihilated.

Their plan was so successful that by now the First Army had been destroyed by thirty-seven integrated fleets. Bianente wanted to escape into the Empire, but now that the long-range stargate to the Empire had been controlled by the Royal Fleet, with the speed of the First Legion's jump, it would take thousands of years to reach the Empire itself. Now we can only count on the good offices and efforts of the family, otherwise, the First Legion will never be spared.

"Report on the battle damage," Bemont ordered the lieutenant beside him with a gloomy face.

"The 47th Fleet has lost contact, and it is estimated that there is less luck in the fortification. In addition, there are nearly 200 warships that have been damaged to varying degrees, and there is an 80% chance that they will disintegrate on the next jump. The fleet's energy reserves have dropped to a critical point of fifty percent, and it will not be possible to return to the empire mainland without replenishing it! The adjutant looked at the refreshed data in front of him and reported back to Bimont.

"The damaged battleships are repaired with the slightest damage, the others are directly discarded, and all the soldiers are transferred to other warships. As a rule of thumb, we still have fifteen standard hours to trim up, after which the royal mongrels should arrive, and we must jump out before fifteen hours are up. As for the issue of energy reserves of the fleet, leave it alone, and now there is no way to go back at all. The order will be passed on, and the next batch will let the 61st Fleet be rear, except for the necessary shipboard operators, all personnel and energy will be transferred to the main fleet, and it is estimated that they will not be needed in the future."

"Yes!"

"Toot toot toot! ......" a piercing siren sounded, and the shipboard host reported that a large number of enemies were rushing towards the First Army.

"What's going on? Why are those bastards here now?" asked Bemont with a gloomy face.

"I don't know, but there are a lot of them, if not a lot," the adjutant reported.

"The cooldown time of the jump engine has not yet arrived, order the fleet to form a formation, you can only fight together, the standing army of the Roman family is not muddy, even if you go to hell, you have to drag them together, prepare for war!"
