Chapter 434: Emergencies
Shen Chao could understand the anger and dissatisfaction of these Theron people, but after seeing their eyes full of hatred, he still couldn't help but feel a little funny. Because as far as he knew, the Theron had voted unanimously and overwhelmingly before launching a genocidal war against humanity in this plane a year ago.
In other words, the Theron themselves, who now see them as monsters, are not pure at all, and they are all participants in a mass genocide. Hands are stained with the blood of hundreds of millions of innocent humans.
But now, these Therons have no idea of the blood debt they have committed, and they are so out of control because the expedition killed a small number of them who resisted, it seems that these Theron people have really evolved successfully! Successfully evolved into the most hated human being!
Just as Shen Chao was about to arrange for a professional team to interrogate some of the Theron people to see if he could get more useful information, a high-priority message came from the Budapest. The gist is that there is something big going on in the fugitive fleet, and he needs to go back immediately to deal with it.
Seeing this, Shen Chao had to sigh, put down his plans, found a senior expedition member at the scene, handed over the command of the scene to him, and then he took the guards through the space-time gate and returned to the Budapest.
"What the hell is going on?" Shen Chao asked as soon as he returned to the bridge, he knew that Roy would not call him back for a trivial matter, and there must have been something big wrong here in the fugitive fleet.
"A Theron space fighter jumped into this galaxy just a few minutes ago, and now it's gone. However, we believe that the plane has already spotted the fugitive fleet. By this time, it was likely that the fighter had returned to the mothership to inform the fugitive fleet. The fugitive fleet believes that the Thyron army will arrive soon, so their commanders are in a hurry to ask to see you. Admiral Kane sent a message saying that if you don't show up again, they will jump out of the system en masse......" Roy recounted the situation in the shortest possible words.
"Connect me with Admiral Kane." Shen Chao lowered his head and thought for a moment before ordering to the communications officer, Admiral Kane was the actual controller of the fugitive fleet after all. Soon, he was connected to the security line with the bridge of the Pegasos.
"You've finally appeared, Commander. I'm guessing you've got an idea of our current situation by now......" Admiral Kane said after connecting Shen Chao's communication, her tone a little anxious, because she knew that the speed of the Theron people was gathering quickly. There will be a whole fleet rushing to this system. She must make the decision to stay or leave as best she can.
Until a few days ago. This was an easy decision, as the fugitive fleet did not have the strength of the Rain Theron people. But the situation is different now, Shen Chao has clearly mentioned before that no matter what happens, they can't be allowed to leave this galaxy.
After receiving the other party's assistance, the fugitive fleet naturally hoped to hug the thighs of the Earth Federation tightly. For this. She was very entangled. Flee the words. The next time I see these fellow Earthlings, it's hard to say whether they will take them in. If she doesn't run away, she really doesn't know the bottom of her heart.
"My adjutant gave you a brief description of the problems you are facing. But I still have to insist that your fleet stay where it is. My fleet will protect you when the Theron fleet arrives. Shen Chao's answer made Admiral Kane feel stunned for a while.
"IMHO, Commander. Has your fleet fought the Theron fleet before? They are numerous and powerful, and where is your fleet? How long does it take to get there? The Theron could jump at any moment. Admiral Kane hurriedly replied, in her opinion, Shen Chao's request for them to stay where they were was understandable but very irresponsible.
"You don't need to worry about that, Admiral. It was only a few minutes before my men managed to capture a Theron battle fortress in another system. I think we know enough about their combat effectiveness......" Shen Chao's words surprised Admiral Kane on the other end.
The Pergasos, which she commanded, had also attempted to increase its strength by capturing the Theron ships, but each attempt had failed. The Theron's ships were so strong in defense and resistance that he couldn't imagine any army that would succeed in capturing a battle fortress from them.
"Discover a number of new targets, scattered around us, etc., they all have the signal ...... of the Earth Fleet" Just when she was struggling with whether to listen to Shen Chao's "opinion" in place, his radar soldiers suddenly alerted. It turned out that Shen Chao saw that the Theron people were about to appear, so that his own warships that had been hiding in this galaxy before showed their shapes.
Not only that, but he also had his fleet surround the fugitive fleet in the middle, protecting them while also monitoring and restricting their range of movement. Seeing this, Admiral Kane finally relieved himself. While he told the fugitive fleet to stop preparing for the jump, he had the radar department fully monitor the situation in the vicinity, preparing to witness a head-to-head duel between their fellow Earthlings and the Therons.
The Theron people came later than everyone expected, and it wasn't until Shen Chao adjusted the fleet's defensive formation and waited for more than half an hour that the Theron fleet finally appeared in this galaxy.
The first batch of battleships to jump over was a total of 4 battle fortresses, and two minutes later, the second group of 6 battleships arrived at the scene. At this time, the system has concentrated 10 Theron warships and an equal number of expedition warships.
In terms of size, the Theron warships had a significant advantage, each of them several laps larger than the expedition's ships, but in terms of firepower, they were exactly the opposite. After a simple formation, the Theron fleet pressed up, unaware of the expeditionary fleet that was now standing between them and the fugitive fleet.
Of course, it's more likely that they see it but don't care. Indeed, according to their previous experience, 10 battle fortresses could basically be regarded as an invincible force, so they didn't waste time trying to understand what was going on with these ships that suddenly appeared in front of the fugitive fleet, but chose to rush over in one go. Trying to wipe out the fugitive fleet.
On the other side, Shen Chao didn't immediately order an attack after seeing the Theron fleet's fleet jumping over, because he thought that these Theron people should hold off the attack after discovering his fleet and try to contact them, at least to find out their identities! But it turned out that this was just his wishful thinking.
Not only did the Theron not try to negotiate when they found out, but they even refused a communication request from their own ship, seemingly taking his fleet completely unseriously! "Blind, aggressive, and deadly ......" Shen Chao commented in his heart about the fleet of the Dao Theron people.
: "Target enters Circle 1...... Objective: Unleash a large number of fighters...... Already in the 2nd Circle of Fire...... "As the Theron fleet approached, the radar group of the Budapest was constantly updated with their latest positions and status. The communication group on the other side said that the Theron fleet on the other side had turned off communications and could not be contacted.
"Should we fire and warn them?" The officer of the fire team asked cautiously. Now the Theron are still close to 1 million kilometers away from them, beyond the effective range of the enemy's weapons. But it was already within the optimal range of the expedition warships.
Plan-wise. Shen Chao didn't really want to go head-to-head with the Theron people at this time, because it would cast a shadow on the future negotiation plan against the Theron people. But seeing the current situation, he also knows that there is no room for maneuver in the current situation. Whatever the reason for the Theron to ignore his fleet. The battle was destined to begin.
"Attention all. Aim for the two leading ships opposite. Free Fire! Finally, when the Theron people's fleet was still 700,000 kilometers away from them, Shen Chao gave the order to open fire.
After his order was communicated to the other warships in the fleet. The expedition's fleet fired a dense burst of main artillery fire. More than ninety percent of the projectiles hit their targets, that is, on the first two ships in the Theron formation.
The effect of the first strike was very amazing, Yan Zhan shocked the Theron people who were beaten on the opposite side, the fugitive fleet watching the battle next to him, and more importantly, it shocked the expedition fleet that carried out this round of blows. It can even be said that the expedition team that carried out this round of strikes was the most ruthless party that was shocked after the results came out.
The Theron were shocked when they discovered that the enemy was not the fugitive fleet or some new remnant of the colony, as they had previously believed, but a new enemy with ultra-long-range firepower projection.
The reason for the fugitive fleet's shock is similar to that of the Therons, they didn't expect that the warships of their fellow earthmen could hit the enemy at a distance of a few light seconds, and the distance of this firepower was too far!
It has to be said that at this time, both the beaten Theron people and the fugitive fleet watching the battle thought that the expedition had just used some kind of energy weapon that they had never seen before, because judging from the time difference between the expedition fleet's firing and hitting the target, the flight speed of their weapons was too close to the speed of light.
You must know that the combat mode of the space war between humans and Theron people in this plane is still in the combined mode of space aircraft carrier + space fighter, and the warships of both sides must be very close to each other if they want to effectively attack each other with shipborne weapons, and the direct fire of ship defense guns and missiles between warships usually occurs within one to three thousand kilometers.
This is also why the warships of the Theron just now rushed over, because according to their battle plan, as long as the fleet runs close enough to the enemy, they can exert the maximum advantage of firepower, so that the opponent's warships are busy dealing with their own warships, and their fighter group can complete the lore with less pressure.
As for the expedition team, they were most shocked because the effect of the blow was so small. The blow inflicted on the enemy was much lower than they expected before they opened fire! (To be continued......)
