Chapter 517: Affordable
In the starry sky, a fleet of Federation starships flew by at high speed, and the propulsion engines were running at full strength, leaving a few light marks in the starry sky.
The fleet was headed by a heavy cruiser, and in the rear was a light cruiser and two destroyers. This is a small but powerful fleet, and all of them are high-speed models.
On the heavy patrol, a resolute-faced general stared at the point of light in front of the fleet on the star map in front of him, watching the distance between the two sides shrinking little by little.
Suddenly, a starship sprang out of the fleeing fleet and flew to the side. The general immediately sneered, "It's just that you want me to divide my troops and ambush me!"
He dotted a few dots on the star map, and the light patrol led a destroyer to chase down the point of light that the fleet ahead had separated.
The general said in a deep voice: "If you find that you are chasing the Swan, don't fight it, just bite it, and then call me to come to support." ”
"Understood. The captain of the light cruiser replied.
The general nodded, his gaze returning to the point of light in front of him, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.
At this time, the adjutant reminded: "The front has entered the range of the N7703 galaxy, and the target is fleeing to the outermost edge of Planet 9. ”
The general sneered, "There is an ambush hidden behind the planet, is that all there is to it?"
The chief officer in charge of intelligence said, "There have been unidentified forces operating in this system, and the stronghold is Planet 4, and it is said that they have already attacked our fleet once. ”
"Where's the war report?"
"It's all ground battle reports, there are no war reports of fleet battles, only a brief account of one encounter. ”
"No battle report?" the general was stunned.
The intelligence officer said: "It should be the core children of a certain big family who were defeated, so they used their connections to delete the battle report." As for the loss, the family will bear part of it. ”
The general snorted and said, "These wastes, you can't fight a war, it's quite powerful to engage in other means." Forget it, don't worry about it so much, let's just chase it. ”
The image of the chief officer in charge of the operation appeared on the command platform and said: "General, if the other party is the Swan, it has been confirmed that its main gun has been modified, and the power is not inferior to ours, you should be careful." ”
The general said coldly: "After all, it is a light patrol, even if it takes an extreme route and makes the main gun as powerful as ours, can its defense, endurance and shield be the same as ours? ”
He connected the destroyer that was following behind him and said, "When the war starts later, you will be responsible for containing the other party's reinforcements, and I will come to your aid when I solve the Swan." ”
The captain of the destroyer said: "Don't worry, general! Maybe I can also reap some military achievements." ”
The general nodded and said, "Although it has been confirmed that the starships above the destroyer level of the other party are not in this star area, you can't be careless, the other side has several destroyers that are very capable of fighting." ”
"Can I conjure energy out of thin air? I just need to fight with it. ”
The general was very approving: "Well, this is the royal way. ”
At this time, the intelligence officer said: "The model of the opposing starship has been confirmed, and it is confirmed that it is the Swan!"
The general perked up and said, "Okay! This time we can't let it escape no matter what! Be careful, don't be in a hurry when the battle starts, keep the main gun at 80% power output, don't get too close, and slowly consume its energy first." A light cruiser with a heavy patrol main gun will definitely not last long. When it can't hold up its energy and wants to run, we'll attack with all our might. ”
"It won't be long before there are a few moving starships in the Ninth Fleet, right?" the destroyer captain joked.
The Federation Heavy Cruiser and Destroyer followed the Swan in front of them, and when they went around the back of Planet 9, they saw the Swan and a strange starship parked there.
The general suppressed the excitement in his heart, repeated the order again, and the heavy patrol slowly approached the Swan, looking cautious and afraid of an ambush.
Inside the Swan, Lin Xi said to the image of Chu Jungui on the command platform: "It seems that there are traitors in the fleet, and the level is not low. ”
"Why do you say that?"
"He obviously knew that the other starships of the fleet were not in this system, so he showed a cautious look, wanting to consume my energy, for fear that I would run away. ”
Chu Jun replied: "It's a good idea to consume energy. Huh??"
Lin Xi saw that the destroyer rushed towards Chu Jungui with a thunderous momentum, and after being stunned, he figured out the reason and said with a smile: "People are going to clear your bait, and then go back to cooperate with the main general to besiege me." ”
Chu Jungui was silent for a moment and said, "He thinks so highly of himself?"
Lin Xi smiled, "At your size, I can't afford you!"
Chu Jun was stunned, "My ship is 130 meters long, and even a destroyer dares to look down on me?"
"Any frigate is more than a lap bigger than you, right?"
"How is that the same? I already have 12 crew members on this ship. Chu Jungui was still not convinced.
"Okay, okay, you're amazing. Lin Xi didn't plan to compare with Chu Jun, and said, "How long do you need me to delay?"
Chu Jungui groaned and said, "After all, the other party is a starship, and I still have a little bottom in my heart about my cannon, so try to drag it out for more than ten minutes." ”
Lin Xiha sighed and said, "I thought it would take an hour." ”
"That's too much to look up to, it's just a destroyer. ”
"I'll be bait first. Lin Xi said hello to Chu Jungui, cut off the communication, and manipulated the Swan to cautiously meet the heavy patrol on the opposite side.
The Federation General suddenly perked up: "The big fish has been hooked! Be careful, put it away and beat it hard, don't scare it away." By the way, tell the kid on the side not to rush so violently, what if the boat is scared away, and even the Swan is scared away?
The general's order was quickly broken down into a myriad of specific commands, which were sent down at the speed of light in the communication channel to where they should be, so that the rushing destroyer suddenly slowed down, and the heavy cruiser took a more cautious and cautious posture than the swan, and even kept his distance from the swan, as if the heavy patrol was on the other side.
In the battlefield, only the small ship like a sea urchin was extremely active, and every spike glittered as it pounced on the destroyer.
In terms of size, it is only half the size of the destroyer opposite, of course, in terms of volume, the difference may not be so big, after all, it is round. However, considering the many spikes on the surface of its body, it is actually not as large as it seems.
On this side of the battlefield, the small spaceship is like a freshly weaned Bichon that screams and pounces on the wolfhound on the opposite side. The captain of the destroyer was a little at a loss for a while, for fear that one of them would accidentally destroy the opponent. If the Swan is scared away, the crime is not something you can afford.
He finally made a decision: "The main gun is locked and fired! 60% power, not much at all!"
The Burst Urchin was finally in range, and every spike of it was glowing.
