After the battleship formation disappeared into the sky, one cargo ship after another and troop carriers slowly rose into the air, slowly forming formations in the air, and flying into the distance in formations.

There were nearly 100 floating boats for cargo and troop transport, and they flew in groups of 10 to the predetermined assembly points.

The fleet was long, with the first take-off at noon, and until midnight, when the last floats were still parked at the take-off and landing fields. Compared with the unexpected group of warships, the transport ships for logistics supply are much worse in comparison, they are basically civilian boats, and the climb speed and flight condition are not bad.

However, this is also normal, if a neutral place can pull out a Void Combat Team that even has elite military ships in logistics, it will not only be the Heavenly King's Mansion that can't sit still.

No matter how orderly the organization and scheduling of such a fleet is, it cannot make up for the shortcomings in the performance of a single boat, and it is undoubtedly the biggest fat sheep in a neutral place where piracy is prevalent. At the moment, I don't know how many people are ready to move, sending the news in all directions, into every dark corner of the neutral place.

Most of the pirates judged the situation and did not dare to act rashly. But the wealth piled up in front of him is huge to a certain extent, and there are also a few fierce outlaws who are ready to move, intending to make a big profit.

However, they set off under the watchful eye and disappeared and were never seen again.

Qianye and Song Zining had long been far behind the transport fleet, and this trap was originally intended for the Heavenly King's Mansion and other forces in the Neutral Land, but only a few pirates came in.

Not without the slightest loss along the way, three cargo ships were directly destroyed by pirates, and a troop carrier on the edge of the battle circle broke down and fell. For a large fleet, such losses can be described as very minor. At the same time, none of the incoming pirates were able to leave alive. No matter how skilled they are at handling ships, they can't escape the pursuit of the Empire's new war patrols.

Some pirates resisted to the end, and many surrendered in desperation. Back and forth, Darkfire's already huge fleet was filled with more than a dozen pirate ships and thousands of captives. According to the rules of the Neutral Lands, these pirates will be used as cannon fodder and be the first to be sent to the battlefield. Those who survive are truly pardoned.

In the command room, Song Zining and Qianye summoned a group of senior officers of Dark Fire to announce the battle plan.

According to the Empire's overall plan, the fleet will first arrive at the predetermined outer space assembly point, where it will first establish contact with the Imperial fleet, and then choose the right time to go to the predetermined battlefield to have a decisive battle with the Eternal Night Outer Space Fleet.

In this battle, the Darkfire Fleet played the role of a surprise attack from the rear. It is only after the main force of the frontal Imperial fleet firmly bites the Eternal Night Fleet that the dark fire will appear, and it will surprise from the weak link, either directly attack the rear of the Eternal Night Fleet, or defeat the reinforcements and other high-value targets that Eternal Night may deploy in the rear.

Such a mission does not sound particularly dangerous, and it fits the characteristics of the high-speed fleet of Darkfire, and there is no reason to refuse, and there is no need to refuse.

After the task was assigned, the faces of the various high-level Dark Fire leaders looked a lot better. When Eternal Night and Dawn are fighting faction wars, it often affects the neutral faction forces around the battlefield, and it is normal for them to join the battle voluntarily or coercion. Most of the high-level members of the Dark Fire are senior mercenaries, and they have encountered this situation more than once.

In this kind of battle, what they are most afraid of is being betrayed by the imperial military, and they will unknowingly become cannon fodder for death. Now that the assignment is based on strength, it seems reasonable, and they are in a position where they can attack and retreat, and they have nothing to complain about.

Seeing that no one raised objections, Song Zining asked everyone to return to the battleship.

Moments later, six Imperial frigates, as well as several warships of varying ages of old and new, but barely able to keep up with the speed of the fleet's movements, headed by the Battle Cruiser, flew towards the predetermined assembly point.

On the bridge, Qianye and Song Zining stood together, looking at the endless void. He suddenly said, "Is that good? Do you want to use that?"

"Let's see. ”

Qianye frowned, and said silently for a moment: "At least judging from the entire battle plan, there is no conspiracy. At least not at this stage. ”

Song Zining sighed lightly and said, "There is no conspiracy now, which is what worries me the most." ”

"Let's move forward step by step, it's useless to dream so much, just solve the problem when you encounter it. Qianye's voice was calm.

"Yes. ”

In the depths of the vast void, an extremely large fleet is slowly sailing towards the floating land. The two battle cruisers in front of the two wings are particularly eye-catching. In the center of the fleet, as many as six battleships and a war mother ship gathered in one place, like a city floating in the void, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

On the battleship in the center, there was a man with a clear face, who seemed to be quiet and quiet, but he had a kind of coercion on the mountain. This is the right minister of the empire in power. It's just that he is calm and introverted on weekdays, and his temperament is so soft that he tastes a little weak, even if he is angry, he never speaks loudly. It is only today, standing on the battleship, that people faintly feel another side of him.

The bridge was full of the right minister's henchmen, and they all held their breath at this moment, silent, and felt a lot of pressure.

In the end, it was the right minister who broke the silence, he muttered softly, and said to himself: "It turns out that this is the taste of sword killing, hey! No wonder those generals in the army don't take the people in the court seriously." ”

The people around looked at each other, not understanding what the right minister was referring to. As far as they know, the right minister never speaks lightly, and every word he says must have a deep meaning. At that moment, everyone chewed this sentence repeatedly in their hearts, trying to taste and figure out the true meaning.

An old minister relied on himself to follow the right prime minister's family for two generations, and said boldly: "My lord, according to the current formation, this battleship will take the lead in a while." You are a golden body, how can you take such a risk? If there is some kind of damage, wouldn't it be a great loss for the empire? The old minister thought that it was time to change the formation. “

Another rebuked: "How can you be a man who is afraid of life and death if you are loyal to your country?" However, the current formation is indeed not conducive to receiving the enemy, and at this moment, the Eternal Night Fleet will appear at some point, so it is better to change it. ”

This is said more artistically, and the previous old minister was not annoyed, so he waited for the right minister to show him.

These two sycophants have their own emphasis, one is moderate, the other is foolish and loyal, and the realm is actually comparable.

The right minister finally turned around, smiling. He raised his right hand, but did not speak. Everyone knew that he was going to make a decision, a very important decision. Before every important decision, he had to think about it again and again until he was sure that there was nothing wrong with what he was thinking.

The longer the silence, the more important the decision becomes.

And this time, the right prime minister was silent for an extraordinarily long time, so long that the smile on his face seemed a little distorted. The people around him were waiting for their necks to be a little sore, and the right minister didn't speak.

Finally, the right minister's gaze turned on everyone's faces, and he said slowly: "The empire has mixed the second and third Praetorian fleets, so although this fleet is called the vanguard, its actual combat power has surpassed that of the Chinese army behind, the first fleet of the Praetorian Guard. Since the Empire has entrusted me with the leadership, I should judge the situation and plan for everything. The current formation is about to be changed. ”

Many of the attendants had joy on their faces, and they did not know whether their joy was for the sake of the safety of the right minister, or only for their own lives.

The right minister paused for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Order! The fleet formation has changed to an assault formation, and the ship has moved forward to the front of the whole fleet!"

The old minister was shocked and shouted, "My lord, don't put yourself in danger!"

The right minister raised his hand, stopped everyone from persuading each other, and said lightly: "As the commander-in-chief, if you want to fight for the three armies, you should be at the front, this is the true meaning of the word striker." ”

The order was passed down, and the formation of the huge fleet slowly changed, and on the other side of the void, the Eternal Night Fleet was manifesting one after another.

Standing in front of the window on the right, the warships on both wings of the field of vision continued to retreat, until then there was only the Endless Void and the approaching fleet of Eternal Night.

The Eternal Night Fleet is slightly inferior in size, but it is also numerous, especially the two giant ships in parallel, which are even larger and more hideous than the Imperial battleships, and they are obviously two Grand Duke class ships.

Although the Imperial Forward Fleet is superior, it is also limited, and it can be imagined that it must be a battle. However, the right prime minister's face was like an ancient well, and he just looked quietly ahead. Until the fleets of the two sides gradually approached, the right prime minister issued a second order: "Take this ship as the leader, all assault!"

Everyone was shocked, this style of play, even if it was a victory, but as the flagship of the vanguard of the whole fleet, it was more than lucky. You must know that there is no top powerhouse on this ship at this moment, and the fight depends on the fixed firepower of the battleship.

The right is similar to knowing what everyone is thinking at the moment, he suddenly turned around and said: "Although I am the best at scheming in my life, but at this moment, I have not set up any scheme!"

If there is no plot, do you really want to take the lead? The strategists in the bridge were really panicked. Attacking political opponents and framing others, they are all good at it. But no one will do such a thing, and they will not do it.

At this moment, it was too late to oppose it, and the fleets of both sides sprinted at full speed, and in the blink of an eye, they were within range. Looking out of the porthole, I saw fireworks blooming in the Eternal Night Fleet on the opposite side, and the sparks lit up in an instant.

Although the spark is beautiful, in the eyes of the strategists, it is like a death knell. It was the sign of the Eternal Night Battleship firing, and every bit of spark was fired from a main gun.

And on the side of the empire, there are also thousands of fire rain silks that have crossed the flagship of the right phase and flew to the opposite side. They are ballistas of different functions, tasked with spreading destruction and death throughout the Eternal Night Fleet.

Not surprisingly, the flagship that rushed to the forefront attracted the most firepower because of its huge hull, and countless ballistae cut a rain of fire in the void, falling on the flagship, exploding a dazzling fireball. In the blink of an eye, the flagship was bathed in a rain of fire, and even the hull could not be seen.

In an instant, the captains of all the Empire's warships held their breath, staring at the sea of fire in front of them.

The next moment, the flagship was like a phoenix bathing in fire, suddenly jumping out of the sea of fire!

Like an enraged immortal bird, it swooped into the formation of the Eternal Night Fleet, spewing dozens of streams of fire from both sides of the ship's hull, and in the blink of an eye, several Eternal Night Battleships were smashed into fireballs.

After the silence, a burst of cheers erupted from the bridges of each of the Imperial fleet's warships, followed by a captain roaring and shouting the order to assault with all his might. Like an enraged herd of bison, the Imperial fleet slammed into the Eternal Night Fleet with an indomitable attitude!

The Eternal Night Fleet reacted quickly after the initial chaos, and they concentrated their firepower and desperately attacked the flagship where the right prime minister was located.

The flagship is like a bison leader surrounded by lions, rushing left and right, and his body is already scarred. On the periphery, a large herd of bison is desperately attacking the lions in an attempt to save the cow.

The battle was momentarily stalemate in chaos.
