Ye Fei glared at the scissors angrily: "What kind of plant are you guarding and what kind of rabbit are you guarding?" If the Atlanteans did go from here, it would be troublesome. However, I don't think it's very likely that a large force will pass through Guò, and it's likely that they will send a teleporter to sneak through the reef area like last time, and make another sneak attack or something. ”

"Wouldn't it? So what to do? Scissors sat up straight.

The space fluctuations caused by thousands of warships flying faster than light are not at all on the same level as those caused by several spaceships, and the satellite group released by the Ares will definitely not miss the faster-than-light flight of a large number of warships, but it is difficult to say whether they can find small-scale faster-than-light flight.

In this case, unless the exit direction is 100 percent determined and the fleet is directly blocked there, eighty percent of them will not be able to stop the enemy's infiltration.

"What else can I do?" Ye Fei pouted helplessly, "Of course it's taking the initiative." ”

Although the order received was to guard the passage entrance, a word guarding knowledge was great.

Including the God of War, he only brought sixteen warships, and it may not be much of a problem to deal with dozens of enemy ships, but against an entire Atlantean fleet, it is purely a search for death.

It is not his character at all to adopt the conservative tactics of waiting for the rabbit when the enemy's strength is unknown, or even whether the enemy is able to pass from here.

Only by taking the initiative to enter the passage, or even passing through the passage directly into the Atlantis Star Country, can you grasp a certain initiative - it is always easier to destroy than to build, and the best defense is always to attack!

As soon as the scissors heard it, they understood what Ye Fei meant: "This is a good idea, I also think it's awkward to stay here and wait." ”

"You kid!" Ye Fei scolded with a smile. "Ruan Peng, order the reconnaissance ship to be dispatched immediately."

"Yes!" Ruan Peng immediately conveyed Ye Fei's order, and the two reconnaissance ships immediately separated from the main ship and cautiously entered the passage according to the direction provided by the intelligence department.

In order to ensure the safety of the warships, the two reconnaissance ships also released an unmanned reconnaissance plane before entering the passage.

This thing is standard on reconnaissance ships, and it is a remote-controlled version of a J-447 fighter that can fly faster than light, but unfortunately it has been useless since it was equipped with troops. It was only today that it was released for the first time.

Two drones start the hyperbeam engine. Quietly disappeared into the colorful light.

Fighters, such non-mainstream equipment, naturally cannot be equipped with expensive crystal engines, although these two UAVs are improved models for reconnaissance missions, can be temporarily installed with miniaturized crystal engines. But no one wants to waste precious super-heavy elemental crystals on this kind of chicken rib equipment.

Fortunately, you can't fly too fast in the passage. The speed of light of the magnetic engine is nearly 100 times that is enough.

A day later. The scattered warships all converged around the Ares and the fleet regrouped.

Four days later, two reconnaissance ships followed the drone. Successfully enter the interior of the passage a light year away.

Accustomed to the ultra-high speed of the crystal engine, and suddenly changed to a turtle-speed magnetic engine, Ye Fei was so anxious that he almost didn't go crazy, and Commander Ye, who couldn't wait any longer, ordered the reconnaissance ship to immediately install the crystal engine on the drone.

After the reconnaissance ship did so, the speed of its advance finally increased, and when the reconnaissance ship entered the passage for about five light years, Ye Fei decided to lead the main force of the fleet to follow.

Five light years is far enough, even the crystal engine would take five hours to fly over this distance, and even if something happens to the reconnaissance ship in front, the main force of the fleet following behind will have enough time to deal with it.

However, as soon as the fleet set off, an urgent communication came from the reconnaissance ship: "Commander, we have discovered the fleet of Atlantis, the enemy forces are turning, the exact number is unknown!" ”

The passage in the reef area is not a flat river, but like a maze of twists and turns, only when it is in a straight line can it fly faster-than-light, and when it encounters a corner, it is necessary to stop over-light flight in advance, and complete the change of direction in a conventional flight mode - change direction in a faster-than-light mode, and the turning radius must be calculated in light at least, and the pilot can drive the battleship out of the passage with a shudder, and he doesn't know how to die, so when sailing in the reef area, he must alternate super-light flight and conventional flight in order to avoid danger to the greatest extent.

Ye Feideng, who received the news, changed his face: "Damn, this speed is too fast, right?" The reconnaissance ship immediately withdrew, leaving the drone behind and continuing to monitor the enemy's movements; Fleet exit channel, quick! "The expeditionary force only officially appeared in front of the occupying forces of the solar system on December 2nd, even if the enemy immediately sent reinforcements, twenty-nine days is flying out of fifty-eight light years, how did they get here so quickly?

Although the thickness of the reef area is only 50 light-years, this safe passage is not a straight line, and the actual distance is at least 80 light-years if you take all the twists and turns in the middle. Coupled with the time lost in turning, at the speed of the Atlantean battleship, it would not take two months for a person to fly over here.

But it's been less than thirty days since the battle began!

Ye Fei couldn't figure out how the enemy's fleet appeared here at this juncture.

The fleet, which had just entered the passage a little bit, immediately turned around and withdrew according to Ye Fei's order, and then the two reconnaissance ships in front also withdrew.

Five hours later, the reconnaissance ship exited the passage, by which time the enemy had completed its change of direction and was accelerating before flying faster than light.

Five light years away, with a bend in the middle, it will take two and a half days for the enemy to reach the exit, and this time will be the key to the success or failure of this battle!

Ye Fei immediately ordered the fleet to prepare for battle, and in order to obtain first-hand information, Ye Fei ordered each ship to release the drones they carried, and deliberately flew out of the passage to test where the safe boundary of the passage was.

After a drone flew out of the range of the channel, it suddenly lost contact, and the magnification of the optical system showed that the drone was like a high-voltage electricity, and the whole body slowly melted like a candle roasted by fire, and finally turned into a red hot liquid alloy, which gradually disappeared.

It is obviously an empty void, but this strange phenomenon will appear, no wonder the Atlanteans describe this reef area as so terrifying, looking at this meaning, even if the Atlantean warship enters the danger zone, there will be no difference in the slightest.

The entire process of the drone's melting was recorded in detail by the optical system, and Ye Fei, who saw this scene, immediately ordered the ships to withdraw the drone and use the gravity cannon to fire low-speed shells around, and it didn't take long for the sixteen warships to check the channel boundary within two light years.
