Carrying along with the erased hull were three giant robots clinging to it.

The dim glow caused by the activity of the nanomachines refreshed the surface of the ship layer by layer, but the slow pace of repair and the still unsightly appearance showed the difficulty of the battle.

Even if the human interstellar battleship can almost be called layer by layer when it is designed, and the inside will be a new ship after the shell is peeled off, but this time, almost no area on the three interstellar battleships is completely spared, and a large number of penetrating wounds, although not fatal, make the whole battleship look very miserable.

Careful confirmation of the radar and target recognition components confirmed that all hostile units in the universe had been destroyed, and two clumps of twisted metal were found in an area about two light-seconds away—two of the eight giant robots that had entered the faster-than-light journey at the last minute. According to the estimation of the scientific officers on the three battleships, it is extremely risky to carry out such ultra-short distances of faster-than-light travel in the range of human jump prohibition positions and jamming equipment, and there is a high possibility that they will be squeezed into scrap metal by space, and four of the eight can come out of it.

The captain of the Texas stroked his hat, and the light screen of the entire fleet's casualty figures on the left made him feel deeply depressed.

The number of fatalities was 15, and the combined number of minor and serious injuries was 38.

This is already a relatively large casualty for the UN.

The USS Texas and the other three ships were not unfought, and all three of them had participated in the Cyberberg War more than a hundred years ago, but such casualties had never been encountered since the Cyberberg War. And in the current situation of the degree of automation of the battleship with a decrease in the number of crews. Basically, everyone on board knows each other. This makes this depressed atmosphere more prone to emerge.

"How's it going? Well, maybe we should go and support the 1st and 2nd Guard Groups. ”

Took a deep breath. The captain of the Texas calmed down a little, and then pulled the information from the battlefield data connection from the light screen on the side. However, he still subconsciously asked the others in the CIC.

"I'm afraid you can't take it lightly, Captain."

The Texas' tactical operations officer gestured to the side, "From above, we can see that there are at least three engagement locations within 1AU of New Texas. The Second and Third Frigates are fighting against the very regular Confederate fleets, and the Fourth Frigate and we are intercepting these strange and huge robots, only there are a little fewer of them, but their robots are more powerful than ours. The tactical operations officer drew out a lot of light screens, which contained videos, pictures, and data maps: "Although I don't understand what the enemy's purpose is, but with the three fighter wings attached to the Star Ring in the first and second battlefields, all the mobile forces in New Texas except us have been set up on these three battlefields. In addition to a few other scattered vigilant fighters. ”

"Are you saying we should take a look first?" The captain touched his chin and continued: "It feels a little reasonable, but what if the enemy who may come in the future continues to divide the troops? Three battleships to divide the forces again? Even if we don't support, we can still win the three battlefields. ”

"That"

"Just wait, the repair of our ship still takes a certain amount of time, although the main structure and function are not damaged, but it is still very easy to die if you fight in this state, but it is more or less a few brothers from the battlefield." The captain patted his face and decided.

The tactical operations officer saluted, turned to Rousseau, and said, "Carry out long-range artillery support, and continue to fire jump jamming bombs around New Texas." ”

"Understood."

After the decision was made to support the 2nd and 3rd Guards Group. After the three battleships coordinated with the battleships of the 2nd and 3rd Escort Groups, more than a dozen battleship main guns began to shell several battlefields more than ten light-seconds away towards the predetermined location, and the sub-light railguns allowed these shells to enter the war zone after more than twenty seconds.

Originally, this kind of shelling of more than 20 seconds could not have had any effect, after all, 20 seconds was too long and too long. Confederate ships can move even if they are wasted.

But now the Confederate fleet is attacking human battleships, which means that they have to "follow" human battleships to inflict enough damage, otherwise they will definitely not be able to beat the UN battleships with much more advanced fire control and detection systems than them at a distance. It's just going to be easier to name them one by one.

It was also because of this characteristic that this kind of shelling, delayed by more than twenty seconds, became possible. The battleships of the 2nd and 3rd Guard Groups would guide the Confederate battleships to this shelling head-on.

The capital of the United Nations - the general headquarters of the United ****

"Ladies and gentlemen. As of two minutes ago, more than 300 of our colony galaxies in the Milky Way and the Great Magellanic Galaxy had been attacked by alien aliens. Unfortunately. Two colonized planets have been destroyed, and the total number of casualties is currently 3,473, and that number is likely to grow every minute. ”

"So the Confederacy vs. us is a preparation for this attack?" In the row to the left of the square table, an admiral smacked the table with an ugly face.

Another vice admiral of "our aircraft carrier" also looked at the report on the light screen in front of him with an ugly face.

Everyone here knows that in this short period of one hour, an important reason for such a mistake is that the supercarrier, which is the pillar of the galaxy's defense, has been transferred for the most part.

"Can they find a way to bypass the early warning?"

"Not yet, but I think you're aware that there's a lot of new things added to the Confederacy this time."

A general with the rank of general, but identified as a technical officer, swiped out a large number of light screens, from which many different and usual creations and technologies could be seen, including of course the kind of giant robots encountered by the Texas.

After a moment of silence, one of the generals, seated in the first row on the right side of the square table, spoke: "Then, can the garrison troops withstand the attack?" ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done."

Several of the Planetary Defense Force and Starfleet generals stood up and saluted in that direction.

But at this time, a message appeared in front of the admiral's eyes, he seemed to be silent for a while, and then waved the light screen in his hand around, and then a message appeared in front of the eyes of all the senior officers present: a large number of man-made objects appeared in the solar system.
