(Thanks to Ahhoi's two monthly passes, Frame Kong's monthly pass and evaluation vote!) ）

In the darkness of space, more than 40 warships of the main team of the minesweeping fleet sailed at full speed in a neat formation, of which the defensive warships were on the outer layer and the offensive warships were on the inside.

In the command cabin of the No. 1 Battle Tiger XO large battleship, the face of the commander-in-chief Qi Yanyan was still a solemn meaning that was difficult to wave, although the fleet at this time had been sailing at full speed for more than twenty minutes, and it seemed that she had gotten rid of the tracking of the ghost fleet, but she still couldn't let go of it in her heart. From the beginning, she felt that this incident was really a bit weird, why did the ghost fleet happen to appear on the route of the minesweeper fleet? Is it really just a coincidence? Could it be that the ghost fleet has designed such a tight and abundant trap can really be described as a simple coincidence? There are also fleets that have not encountered any other ghost warships for several days before encountering the decoy ghost warship......

Many questions surfaced in Qi Yanyan's mind, and for a while, she couldn't find the answers at all, but one fact was extremely clear - the ghost battleship launched an active attack on the minesweeping fleet, and the third battle formation was almost completely annihilated.

"Report to the sir, find the trail of the ghost battleship."

Suddenly, the voice of a person in charge of monitoring slightly interrupted Qi Yanyan's thoughts.

Qi Yanyan frowned slightly, and asked quickly, "There?" Mobilize surveillance footage. ”

The officer immediately replied: "Not far behind the fleet, it was discovered by the space monitoring eye left by the fleet, and it is the remaining seven ghost warships that were pursued by our fleet before. ”

Soon. A large screen of light popped up in the center of the command module, which showed the seven remaining ghost warships of the Second Ghost Fleet.

However, in the blink of an eye, the seven ghost warships quickly disappeared again.

Qi Yanyan stared at this light screen, and the solemnity on his face couldn't help but add a few points, seeing that these seven ghost battleships should be chasing the fleet, I don't know what the other party's intentions are, but they were chased and beaten miserably before, and now they are chasing after them without knowing whether they are alive or dead, could it be that the more than 100 ghost battleships that attacked the third battle formation have already arrived?

There was silence for a few breaths. Qi Yanyan said a little slowly: "Continue to closely monitor the movements of the ghost battleship. ”

The officer in charge immediately replied, "Yes." Sir. ”

The minesweeping fleet continued to sail at full speed, and the monitoring personnel did not find any trace of the ghost warship, but they did not let down their vigilance in the slightest, and the monitoring range of the space detection eyes arranged along the way of the fleet was very limited compared to the ghost fleet with certain stealth capabilities. It will only be revealed when the other party is close to the Space Detection Eye. So they weren't quite sure if the seven ships were behind the fleet.

Relative to the seemingly calm voyage of the fleet. The mechanic team is extremely busy. Fang Shi, who was the chief mechanic, was even more headache at this time, and this battle was far beyond his expectations, although the battle did not last very long. However, the problems with the mechs were the most serious he had ever encountered when he joined the minesweeping fleet.

In less than an hour of fighting, more than 30 of the nearly 100 mechs on the No. 2 large battleship never returned to the battleship, and judging from past experience, the mecha that did not return to the battleship meant destruction. In the previous many battles, three mechas were destroyed at most once, and this time he lost more than thirty mechas, for him, this is definitely a terrifying number, the destruction of more than thirty mechas, that is, more than thirty pilots were also killed, although this number is relatively insignificant compared to the battle between the Star Luo Empire and the Galaxy Alliance in the frontline defense area of the Eastern Region, but it is an extremely abnormal number with the minesweeping fleet.

In addition to the more than 30 mechs that disappeared, the second battleship also had 29 damaged mechs. It was the thirteenth team that was responsible for the maintenance of the No. 2 battleship mecha, and after Chen Shuya and several others joined the reorganized second machine repair team, the original twenty-four people in the thirteenth team had only eighteen people left. In addition, the damaged mechs were not only the twenty-nine mechs on the No. 2 battleship, but also more than a dozen damaged mechs on other battleships, and a total of more than forty damaged mechs needed to be repaired, which was extremely bad. However, since the fleet was still in a state of emergency combat, the connection between the fleets was stopped, and the members of the 13th group did not need to care about the situation of the dozen or so damaged mechs on the other battleships for the time being, and could first concentrate on dealing with the 29 damaged mechs on the second battleship.

In the face of a large number of damaged mechas, Fang Shi could only bite the bullet, although he had guessed that this time the minesweeping fleet had entered an emergency combat state, and the mechanic team might face a huge challenge of mechanic tasks after the war, but the situation in front of him still gave him a big surprise.

As for the 29 damaged mechs on the No. 2 battleship, Fang Shi first made a preliminary inspection, put aside all the seriously damaged mechas, and sent a few lightly damaged and easily repaired mechs to the repair garage for emergency repair. Although the maintenance of the mecha are lightly wounded, but the maintenance of the mecha is still quite a troublesome thing, at least one or two hours, at most three or four hours to complete the repair of a mecha, and each mecha at least two or three mechanics to cooperate in repair, for the intense combat situation to restore the combat ability of the battleship mecha in a short time through machine repair is obviously a little impractical.

Fang Shi will be the thirteenth group of six squads, each squad of three people, four of which are responsible for mecha maintenance, and the other two squads are responsible for testing the combat mecha, now the minesweeping fleet is still in an emergency combat state, and the combat mecha may also go out of the ship at any time to fight, so before they leave the ship, he still tries to carry out simple tests one by one to ensure that the performance of the combat mecha is intact.

The work of the machine shop is constantly busy.

As the chief mechanic, Fang Shi's busyness is not limited to the thirteenth group, he must take care of the situation of other groups, although the fleet is in an emergency combat state, he can not see the other situations of other groups, but he is through communication equipment to contact and understand, the situation of other groups is similar to the thirteenth group, there are a large number of mecha that need to be repaired, and they are busy. In addition, Chen Shuya's 2nd Mechanic Group, 5th Mechanic Repair Group, 8th Mechanic Squadron, and 12th Mechanic Group had lost contact with each other from the very beginning of the battle. Since the communication equipment in his hand can only be used effectively in a certain small range, and it cannot be connected after a certain range, it is obvious that Chen Shuya and several other team members have exceeded the connection range of communication equipment.

Through the information recounted by the pilots who participated in the battle, Fang Shi also had a certain understanding of this emergency battle of the minesweeping fleet. It turned out that this time it actually encountered seventy or eighty ghost warships at once, but after a slightly tragic battle, the minesweeping fleet finally won an absolute victory, and in a battle, although they really damaged some mechas, they destroyed about seventy warships in the local area, which can be said to be a huge victory.

Fang Shi's cognition of the situation of the minesweeping battle is only limited to the description of the pilots, and the specific situation is not clear to him, but from the damaged and disappeared mechas, he can judge that this battle is not an easy battle, it should be a rather tragic battle, and the mecha on the second battleship can only fight again about one-third of the original. And for the great victory in the battle, he was also slightly grateful, at least those disappeared mechs and pilots did not die in vain, they contributed their strength to victory.

Minutes and seconds passed quickly.

Soon, the minesweeper fleet had been flying peacefully for more than an hour, during which time there was nothing to be found except for a previous spot on the ghost fleet.

In the command cabin of the No. 1 Battle Tiger XO flagship, everyone's expressions were more or less relaxed, they had all heard the relevant reports of the third battle formation, the enemy still had more than a hundred ghost warships, if it ran into the fleet, it would be dangerous, and now the fleet has been traveling quietly for more than an hour, which means that it is very likely to be out of danger.

Qi Yanyan's solemn expression on his face also eased a lot, but he did not relax in his heart, many questions were still lingering in her troubles and could not find a definite answer, she felt that this time the ghost fleet was very likely to come directly to the minesweeping fleet, that is to say, the other party was very likely to know the situation of the minesweeping fleet from the beginning, and then deliberately set a bait on the route of the minesweeping fleet, so as to want to destroy the minesweeping fleet in one fell swoop.

"Could it be that there are spies of the Alliance hidden in the fleet, otherwise how could the Ghost Fleet know so much about the situation of the minesweeper fleet? If so, who? ”

Thinking that it was very likely that there would be a hidden alliance spy in her fleet, Qi Yanyan's willow eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly, she knew that if there were really spies in the fleet, the other party's status in the fleet was definitely not low, and it was very likely that it was someone next to her.

"Burst, Burst, Burst......"

Suddenly, there was a continuous and violent explosion at the front of the fleet.

The three pilot battleships were wrapped in the explosion almost instantly, and finally turned into countless fragments in the continuous explosion, and the commanders of the several battleships that followed closely behind the pilot battleship were not slow to react, and quickly ordered to open the energy shield of the battleship, although it was affected by the violent explosion, it was basically resisted by the energy shield of the battleship, but there was no damage.

"It's a space mine!"

Several battleship commanders judged the cause of the sudden explosion of the battleship in front of them for the first time, and it was very likely that a large number of space mines were laid in the space area in front of the fleet.

In the blink of an eye, all the warships of the minesweeper fleet were forced to an emergency stop. (To be continued......)
