"Captain, the second, third, and fourth guard groups have ended the battle." He paused: "But the New Texas Fleet Command asked us to assemble with the second, third, and fourth guard groups, and then go to New Babylon for reinforcements, one hundred thousand urgently. ”

The tactical operations officer of the Texas said to the captain with a solemn face: "I just browsed the fleet's intranet, and the contact with the planet Neobabylon has been interrupted for two minutes, and although the unmanned base on the periphery of Neobabylon is still in contact with us, I can't learn more information from them. ”

For the captain who is browsing the ship's information and giving management, although he can access almost all the information, and the information he needs to know will appear in front of him immediately, some specific information may appear in the hands of other supervisors. After all, although modern people are much better at processing and receiving data than people in Ankang's time because of physical enhancement and implantation, it is still limited.

For example, this kind of information will only pop up in front of the captain's eyes and indicate which supervisor or where the director is located, but the exact content will not be displayed.

"Have you been out of contact for two minutes?" After moving aside the report that the repair of the Texas and the other two ships was basically complete, the captain of the Texas patted the handrail and said, "TAO (Tactical Operations Officer), inform the New Texas and the Okukin, that we will go to the target location and join the other three escort groups." ”

"Understood."

After giving the order, the captain sitting in his chair called up the information he had access to.

Neo-Babylon and New Texas belong to the fringe star fields of the Milky Way, and the distance between the two is still relatively far. But for a military-grade warship, this distance is about thirty minutes or less.

For the standard class, which has just been upgraded to the latest generation of navigation systems, it only takes about 20 minutes or even less. But after all that time, it is still unknown how long Neobabylon will last.

Judging by the information he was able to obtain. There are a large Confederate fleet on the other side of the Neobabylonian system, and it seems that they are still adding fuel to their ranks.

Not only New Babylon and New Texas, but also the entire star sector, the entire cantilever and even the entire galaxy have a large number of Confederate fleets that are constantly invading, and the speed of spread continues to accelerate.

The galaxy-level transition jamming belt, which was originally one of the guarantees of human security, seems to be completely useless. Maybe it's a little useful, after all, if it loses its effect completely, it shouldn't be the choice to add oil in.

The convergence was rapid, and a total of twelve battleships from the 1st to 4th Guard Groups of the New Texas Planet Defense Force Orbital Fleet appeared on the periphery of the New Texas Ring in the third sector of the New Texas Ring in a minute, and they were currently in an area on the sunny side.

"The 1st through 4th Guard Groups form the New Texas Task Force 7, and the fleet commander is Lieutenant Commander Jack Oxon, captain of the battleship Texas."

Orders from the Theater Command in this area were sent to the New Texas Fleet Command after the fleet had been assembled, and were relayed to the entire fleet a few moments later.

After transitioning into a battle formation, the New Texas Task Force 7 Task Force Formation began to change direction and perform one last check before entering the jump.

"Although it's mostly fixed. However, it is better to have the keel of the Okujin go into the dock later and repair it thoroughly. And now there are at least three ships in the fleet that have real structural damage of varying degrees. ”

The Science Officer said this to Lieutenant Colonel Jack on the video. But for him, this was just a reaction to the opinions and conclusions of the engineering department and a reminder, but it did not mean to prevent the three warships from continuing to carry out the necessary tasks, and the UN ships were not so vulnerable.

Having made sure that there were no principled problems with everything, this small fleet began to make the leap towards Neo-Babylon.

A minute later.

"Damn it!!" Jack, the captain of the Texas, scolded fiercely, and after it had calmed down a little, he turned on the fleet radio and said, "Unfortunate news, ladies and gentlemen, for various reasons we are probably the first to enter New Babylon as a support force. At the same time, this means that we are exposed to great risks. Hope we have the best of luck. ”

Several forces that were supposed to be mobilized for support in Neo-Babylon were transferred to the Alice system, about 2,400 light-years away from Neobabylon, due to the presence of a Confederate Grand Fleet in the Alice system and the identification of multiple star-destroying weapons.

Faced with the choice between a galaxy that had lost contact and a galaxy that might have prevented a tragedy, Southern Cross Cantilever General Theater Command finally chose the latter.

Attacking Alice's system is the Kraken fleet.

For the huge Kraken fleet, it is enough to make the sun and the moon shine.

This kind of huge biological cluster composed of organisms and machines, which rarely appears in the Confederacy, has always been a strange existence that no interstellar civilization can defeat before the emergence of human beings, and often a huge interstellar civilization can only choose to escape or unite with other civilizations to fight when it observes the Kraken fleet.

The latter, if they were able to repel them, were only able to repel them. Because this kind of biosphere that follows the primitive laws of biology looks like a mixture of multiple interstellar zergs, it is not willing to spend resources above a certain limit to "defeat" some difficult bones. So they will choose to bypass, but the enemy image filled with faster-than-light radar and optical cameras is enough to bring indelible fear.

At the end of the First Great Expedition, humanity discovered this existence at the edge of the universe. and defeated this cluster of monsters that was even larger than the galaxy, but the unexpected losses and their great combat prowess led the humans to give them the name of the Kraken fleet.

However. It seems that it was because of the human attack, fifty-five years after the end of the Great Expedition. A large Kraken fleet visited the outskirts of the colony, the capital of an interstellar empire at the time.

The sudden visit of the Kraken fleet shows the fact that the Kraken fleet actually has the ability to travel faster than light, which once brought great panic to various interstellar civilizations, but what is even more surprising is that the arrival of the Kraken fleet this time is not for predation, but for: communication.

Because of the human race, the Kraken fleet expressed its intention to communicate with other interstellar civilizations, and finally completed the exchange with several mainstream interstellar civilizations at that time after stumbling for more than ten years, which became an important factor in the establishment of the Confederacy

In a sense, this is equivalent to the status of one of the five permanent members of the United Nations. (To be continued.) )
