Xia Shidong judged based on experience, and he didn't dare to be too sure at first. After checking the galaxy map and data, analyzing and tracking for a period of time, Xia Shidong finally believed it.

Not only did he believe it, but Xia Shidong also figured out the reason.

Li Mu blew up the asteroid, not simply to pursue, but to block the road and set up an ambush.

The two starships on Dwarf Star were kidnappers, and the kidnappers were the wife of a planetary administrator. No matter how bold the Ren family is, this kind of thing cannot be put on the surface.

Knowing that someone is chasing from behind, and there is a congestion, no matter how calm the kidnappers are, they will feel uneasy.

For kidnapping, the smartest way at this time is not to wait passively, but to find another way.

The route Li Mu chose was not completely unfamiliar. It was a little-known route that had been abandoned for decades.

There are always changes in the interstellar route, the movement of the stars, the explosion of the planets, there are too many factors to change. Especially when an asteroid explodes, a cosmic black hole is sometimes derived.

Like the abandoned target star that Li Mu blew up, although the meteorite derived from it is troublesome, it is not too difficult to clean up. The construction of the road closure is delayed for a week or two, and the route can basically return to normal.

However, if it is a large planet explosion, it will be difficult to restore the affected route.

The two interstellar diversions of the dwarf star took a route that had to be abandoned because of the destruction of the big planet.

However, the reason for the abandonment of the route is mainly that there are great safety hazards, which does not mean that it cannot be taken at all. If you are a captain who is familiar with the route and has experience, you may not be able to get through.

And Ji Hai is officially such a captain.

Xia Shidong knew Ji Hai's name, which was an old captain who had been active in the grassroots line all year round. In the experience of interstellar navigation alone, there are not many people in the entire 66 star area who are stronger than Ji Hai. After finding that the road is blocked, it is a normal operation to choose another route.

Xia Shidong gave Li Mu the specific information of the captains of the two starships of Dwarf Light Star, and it was not strange to analyze and lay out the information from the data.

It's just that Xia Shidong didn't expect that Li Mu would also know about the existence of that route. And he set off early, running to the front to set up an ambush.

It was obviously impossible for Li Mu to walk that road, let alone do his homework in advance. The only possibility is that Li Mu found this abandoned route from the huge galaxy map.

From the information provided by Xia Shidong, Li Mu began to pursue, and not much time has passed. Moreover, Li Mu does not have a staff group around him, and those staff officers on the starship are all from Thundercloud Star, and they do not know the star field of Sirius, basically Li Mu himself takes the information to study.

In such a short period of time, find the abandoned route, analyze Ji Hai's psychology, and lay out an ambush to intercept it. It's not something that can't be done, but it's not something that just anyone can do

It requires a wealth of galactic knowledge, keen insight, a cool head, and a holistic view of the big picture.

It seems to be just a simple layout and ambush, but this is no longer a simple starship command, but a fleet-level command ability.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Mu has the ability to command a fleet now, but he has undoubtedly shown his quality in this regard.

What's more, how old Li Mu is now, and he hasn't even participated in interstellar wars.

Xia Shidong was a little shaken.

He wanted to stop Li Mu, or really give Li Mu support.

With his energy and the connections of the Xia family, he could send a few starships to that star field in the name of training and exploration at this time.

Because he didn't want the Federation to lose this talent, and he didn't want to see such a rising star destroyed in a conspiracy derived from a political struggle.

I didn't stop it before, not because I wasn't worried about Li Mu's safety, but because I thought that I couldn't fight. Even if you can't save people, nothing serious will happen.

But that's no longer the case.

The whole layout was very successful, and Li Mu could definitely intercept the two starships of the Dwarf Light Star. Moreover, the interception location will not be the regular route of the Federation fleet's patrol, but an abandoned and almost forgotten star field.

But no matter how wonderful the layout is, it also needs enough strength to execute.

Li Mu is an interstellar battleship, and the other party is two, among which there is an ace captain like Ji Hai. Judging from the balance of forces alone, this cannot be regarded as an ambush, but more like a self-imposed trap.

However, Xia Shidong was a little hesitant.

If the fleet is really sent, the Xia family will really take some risks, and it will mean a head-on war with the Ren family. At least for now, it is not in the family's interest to do so.

In addition, Xia Shidong also felt that Li Mu was not such a stupid guy.

There's no reason to dig such a big hole and end up burying yourself in it. And according to Li Mu's performance in the training camp, it seems that being outnumbered seems to be the norm. Although there is no virtual battlefield to exploit in reality, there may be other tricks.

Xia Shidong thought about it for a while, and finally decided to wait and see for the time being.

However, just in case, he still called the old man for instructions, and then contacted a fleet to prepare for sailing.

Just when Xia Shidong was looking forward to Li Mu's next performance, Zhou Feiyu also had the same thought.

"Captain, you're really good. ”

Inside a meteorite belt, an interstellar battleship is hiding. Li Mu stared at the radar screen, and Zhou Feiyu stood beside him with admiration.

Before helping Li Mu, Zhou Feiyu was actually more bewitched by Ma Xiao and Beimen Baicang, and he didn't really identify with him in his heart.

In Zhou Feiyu, Li Mu may have great potential, but he is still very immature and very unreliable. Especially after blasting down the asteroid, Zhou Feiyu was even more convinced of this.

But when all the layouts were clearly revealed, Zhou Feiyu realized that he was wrong.

Maybe Li Mu really still has a lot of potential that has not been developed, but it is just something that has been shown, which is enough to crush the vast majority of people.

Such a leader is worth following.

"Report, there are enemy ships ahead!" the observer suddenly reported.

Zhou Feiyu turned to the screen, and two more signals appeared on it.

All starships have identification codes, and in order to prevent misunderstandings, except for some special secret missions, the starships will continue to turn on the identification signal during operation.

Both starships of Dwarf Star are now in abandoned passages, and it is even more necessary to turn on the signal. So as soon as he entered the detection range, he was noticed by Li Mu's side.

"Captain, the guests have arrived. Zhou Feiyu teased: "If there is any other trick, don't hide it, take it out." ”

"Aftermove?" Li Mu was a little strange: "What afterstroke?"

"Isn't this here to ambush them?" Zhou Feiyu's heart suddenly felt uneasy, but he still smiled and said, "I read the information you took just now, and the other party is not only two starships, but also an ace captain who is ranked in the star region. If you want to take them down, we can't be the only ones. ”

"It's just us. Li Mu was inexplicable: "When you came out with me, didn't you already know?"

"Uh......" Zhou Feiyu was stunned, and suddenly said, "Oh, I know." You're negotiating with them, not really trying to fight. ”

". Li Mu was not angry: "If I want to negotiate, do I have to go to such great lengths to bring them here?"

Zhou Feiyu's smile disappeared completely: "Do you still want to fight?"

"Of course. Li Mu said: "Even if you negotiate with them, do you think there is a chance of success? In other words, if you kidnap a director's wife, can you just release her?"

"Definitely not, but ......" Zhou Feiyu asked with the last trace of anticipation. "How are you going to fight?"

"Just one. Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Mecha dress, attack head-on!"
