Chapter 461: Enemy Ships Attack
The battle in the barracks startled Nethan, and he was puzzled.
Without Nethan's orders, the staff officers of the fleet command began to contact the regiments that had landed, trying to find out the situation, but they could not be contacted.
The battle soon turned into a massive shelling, and more so of a barracks command center.
At this point, Nethan couldn't sit still.
You know, attacking the barracks command center is tantamount to mutiny.
Nethan's first thought was that it was the mutiny of the legion that had just arrived, but then he thought it was impossible, because it was the main legion from home. Besides, only ten of the hundred legions were sent, and the other ninety legions were still in the convoy. Nethan had enough reason to believe that there could be no betrayal of the ten legions, at least not that all ten legions were involved in the rebellion.
Obviously, if only one legion rebels, the other nine legions will never sit idly by.
The problem was that only one regiment attacked, and the other nearby regiments did not participate, nor did they go to stop it, let alone fight it.
If not a Legion rebellion, then what?
Nethan knew that it was imperative to contact the commanders of those legions, or at least one of them, to find out what was going on in the barracks.
It's just that, no matter how hard the staff officers tried, they were never able to get in touch with the legion.
The staff officers all agreed that the effects of the previous earthquake had caused the communication to be disrupted, but they ignored a crucial issue.
That is, the regiments that have arrived at the barracks and are landing in the barracks can only communicate with the fleet command through the communication equipment of the barracks command center. Although the transport ship also has communication equipment, within the confines of the barracks, its communication channels are cut off from the barracks. Other words. Only ships outside the barracks can communicate with the fleet command using their own communication equipment.
Obviously, it didn't make much sense to contact the ships that landed outside the barracks.
Because the situation was not clear, it became a pot of porridge in the fleet command.
Although Nethan sent a small patrol ship to the barracks, it took at least half an hour to fly from the fleet to the barracks, and it was impossible to arrive in time.
Furthermore. In order to avoid being attacked, small patrol ships do not land inside the barracks and cannot even fly too low.
All Nethan can do is wait. Whether he is patient or not, he can only wait. Although there are hundreds of large and small warships in the fleet, before figuring out the situation, Nethan does not dare to act rashly, after all, there are more than ten legions on the Slag Star, and it is easy to be injured by mistake if he rashly launches an attack. Besides. If it were not for the Legion to launch a rebellion, then letting the fleet attack, would only make the situation worse.
It's just that what Nethan was waiting for was not a message from a patrol ship, but a surprise attack.
Because he had been paying attention to the battle on the side of the barracks, even if the fleet had entered a state of combat readiness and strengthened its precautions, it did not keep an eye on the deep space nearby. So until the outermost transport ships were attacked and exploded into fireballs. The staff officers of the fleet command reacted suddenly. Then, before Nethan could figure out where the enemy was, several more large transport ships were destroyed.
The attack was very sudden and unusually violent.
In less than a minute, more than a dozen transport ships had already been attacked, and most of them were ships carrying legions.
Other words. The officers and soldiers of the Lei Ling Clan on these ships were all finished, and none of them escaped, not even the officers who had the Origin Converter. Not to mention an officer, even Nethan, it would be difficult to survive such a sudden attack. After all, having an Origin Converter is not the same as having an immortal body. As long as the attack came suddenly enough and fierce enough, the officers and men on the ship would not have time to protect themselves with an energy barrier.
Fortunately, the warships in the fleet have entered a state of combat readiness.
After the second group of ships was attacked, the staff officers used the information sent by other warships to determine that the attack was carried out by ten enemy ships, all of which were small warships.
Nethan couldn't believe it at first, but then realized the seriousness of the problem.
Can a small warship have such a powerful attack power, destroying more than a dozen large ships of the Lei Ling clan in two attacks, and it is a military spaceship?
Obviously, this is definitely not a small warship of the Silicon Alliance, nor is it a small warship of an ordinary civilization.
A small warship with such a powerful attack power can only come from a top-level civilization, and it is the most advanced small warship of that top-level civilization.
Nethan immediately thought of the Weavers.
Prior to this, he had already received news that the Weaver Fleet was engaged in a war with the Silicon Charm Fleet, and soon after, the Wanluo War Emperor issued an order for him to send all the capital ships in the fleet. Although the Wanluo War Emperor did not explain this order, Nethan thought of the Weaver Clan at that time, thinking that the Wanluo War Emperor planned to block the Weaver Clan fleet in this vicinity and prevent the Weaver Clan Legion from reaching the North Fourth District first.
Obviously, in this vicinity, the only one capable of launching an attack, and with advanced small warships, is the Weaver fleet.
Nethan knew that the most advanced small warship of the Weaver Clan was the Shadow Ship, and it was also the most advanced small warship of the Galactic Alliance, which was on par with the Thunder Ling Clan's Starlight Ship.
With the attack power of the Shadow Ship, it is not difficult to destroy the transport ship that is not very defensive in the first place.
That's ten Shadow Ships?
If so, then where is the Weaver fleet?
Also, the Shadow Ship belongs to the Female Samurai Guard of the Wing Star Clan, which means that the Female Samurai Guard of the Wing Star Clan has arrived and launched an attack.
So, what about the Star Soul Empress?
You know, the female warrior guards only obey the orders of the empress, and are mainly responsible for protecting the empress. In times of war, as long as the empress leaves the Mother Planet, the female samurai guards are inseparable, and at least some female samurai will accompany the empress, and wherever the empress goes, the female samurai guards will follow.
If the Star Soul Empress also comes, will this battle still need to be fought?
No matter how confident Nesen was, he didn't dare to challenge the Star Soul Empress. In the entire Lei Ling Clan, the only one who can challenge the Star Soul Empress is probably the Wanluo War Emperor.
While Nethan was nervous, the ships in the fleet were already in battle.
Although several more transport ships were attacked, the escort warships in the fleet had already spotted the enemy ships and were eyeing the enemy ships, plus the battleships sent by the fleet, those enemy ships did not attack again, but turned and flew away, and it was not wrong to say that they quickly fled from the battlefield.
It's just that the battle is not over.
Although Nethan did not give the order, the transport fleet and the warships in the fleet began to pursue the fleeing enemy ships in accordance with the regulations.
This is the fleet of the Lei Ling Clan, as well as the transport fleet of the main army of the Lei Ling Clan. An attack in the Southern Alpha system, and an attack by a galactic alliance warship, is absolutely unforgivable. If we stop here, I'm afraid that the civilization of the Galactic Alliance will never take the Lei Ling clan seriously again.
By this time, Nethan had come to his senses.
It's just that hesitant too. Although he suspected that it was the Weaver Clan's Shadow Ship that launched the attack, and he was worried that the Weaver Clan's fleet and the Star Soul Empress were nearby, but he stopped and let go of those enemy ships, not to mention anything else, the Wanluo War Emperor would definitely not forgive him easily.
The problem is that the pursuit of enemy ships is too risky.
Let's not forget that in Nethan's fleet, there are no capital ships left. Although there are several capital ships in the transport fleet, they are of little significance. Those capital ships were built more than a thousand years ago, not only are they old, but their performance is also very backward, and their combat power is naturally not powerful. It's not a big problem to deal with ordinary enemy ships, but in a battle with the capital ships of the Weaver Clan, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to fight back.
Just when Nethan hesitated, hundreds of warships had already chased him out.
By this time, it would be too late for Nethan to stop.
Although the speed of those ten enemy ships was fast, the warships of the Lei Ling clan were not slow. A battleship is a battleship, and it is definitely not comparable to a transport ship. In addition, small warships are already known for their speed. As a result, the small warships that were the first to catch up quickly bit the attacking enemy ships and launched an attack.
Receiving the message from the battleship, Nethan was puzzled again.
That is, the ten enemy ships did not escape quickly, and did not get rid of the pursuing ships, nor did they make a strong return fire when attacked.
It seems that the combat effectiveness of those ten enemy ships is not very strong.
How can it be!?
You must know that the ones that were destroyed before were all large transport ships, and even if they were not warships, their anti-strike capabilities far exceeded those of civilian spaceships.
Those who can destroy large transport ships in one fell swoop must be warships with strong combat effectiveness.
Otherwise, Nethan wouldn't have suspected that it was the Weaver Clan's Shadow Ship.
Obviously, the Shadow Ship has enough combat power to deal with the pursuing small warships, and it is impossible to fall to the point where it cannot fight back.
Pursued by hundreds of small warships, ten enemy ships did not escape, and were soon caught up and surrounded by the pursuing warships.
Although separated by millions of kilometers, Nethan could clearly see that the battle was fierce.
At the same time, the battleships involved in the pursuit continued to send battle reports.
There were really only ten enemy ships, and all of them were small warships. Although these small ships are not very powerful, they are very agile and difficult to hit.
More than a hundred warships, but ten enemy ships!
Nesen is a little angry, if this matter spreads, not to mention that Emperor Wanluo will not forgive him, I am afraid that even he will not have the face to live.
Those ten enemy ships must be killed, whether they are Weaver Shadow ships or not.
In fact, at the time of making this decision, Nethan had already believed that it was not the Shadow Ship of the Weaver Clan, maybe it was from some advanced civilization, and it might even be a pirate ship.
After Nethan's order, another formation of more than a hundred small warships rushed over.
The battle was fought millions of kilometers away, and the threat to the convoy had been lifted, leaving not too many warships to protect the convoys.
Of course, if it was the Weaver fleet that attacked, then no amount of warships left would be able to protect the convoy.
Thinking of the battle in the Slag Star barracks, Nethan realized that he had to fight quickly to take out the enemy ships as soon as possible, and then support the legions that landed on Slag Star.
As long as the Thunderling Legion holds its ground on Slag Star, it is invincible.
For thousands of years, no enemy has breached the fortress of the Thunderling Legion! (To be continued.) )
