Chapter 88: The Chase
As the fleet deepened, it was already possible to detect some of the situation of the opposing fleet from the detection equipment.
Looking at the dense dots of light on the screen, each of which was a battleship, and after a rough count, Lakamodi found that he had underestimated the number of warships in the opponent's fleet before, which was 20,000. This is a force that can only be dispatched by a medium empire, and it is by no means something that some small and medium-sized territories can reach.
However, he saw the other party, and the other party definitely discovered himself when he had many warships and detection equipment.
In this case, Lakamodi did not need to hide, he directly sent a signal of convergence to the dark gangster warship that was still shuttling and jumping, only in this way could it be better protected.
Unexpectedly, after discovering that Lakamodi had only brought a thousand warships, the Dark Disciples warship directly rejected his request for convergence.
This made Lakamodi a little embarrassed.
He also knew that he was really careless this time and was not prepared enough.
There is too much difference in strength in front of a large fleet, there is no essential difference between a thousand, a hundred, ten and one, and a twenty-fold difference, plus the frigates that are constantly maneuvering around the fleet, the total number of warships in this fleet may be even more, at least not less than 30,000.
If it weren't for the fact that this fleet had a clear purpose, and if it clashed head-on, it would have been wiped out in one face, and a thousand warships might be powerful, but it would definitely not make a splash now.
The opposing fleet also discovered the fleet of Lakamodi at this time, and there would be no Allied fleet here, which both sides knew in their hearts that it was the enemy who appeared.
Immediately, five thousand ships broke away from the main fleet from the fleet, and then a turnaround rushed towards the Lakamodi fleet.
The frigate that was pestering the Darkband's battleship was not affected in the slightest, and was still pestering it, preventing it from being able to complete a long jump and escape.
The only thing Lakamodi had to do now was to entangle this fleet and prevent it from leaving this star field.
He found that the direction of this fleet might be to bypass the original battlefield and go to the Shakya Star Domain from another direction, and if it achieved its goal, it would become a force to contain the Sanctuary Fleet, and once the war started, it could attack from the rear of the Sanctuary Fleet.
"It seems that Parkland's side also has a shrewd talent."
But 30,000 warships is not enough. Lakamodi knew that if his fleet was all here, even if it could not be completely annihilated, it would be able to cripple and drag it to death here.
But a thousand warships really could not accomplish this purpose, and he once again issued an order to the rear for an urgent convergence. As the forward fleet, Lakamodi did not carry many personnel, so as soon as he received Lakamodi's urgent order, he immediately carried out a strong maneuver.
Unmanned warships were the first to make long-distance jumps, which greatly reduced the time to arrive, and those manned battleships could only follow in the form of short-range jumps.
Rakamodi was already entangled with the other side, and the fiercest battle broke out as soon as the two sides made contact within the range of the main guns.
Relying on the superiority in numbers, he directly launched a blow to Lakamodi, and if it weren't for the excellent performance of the Black Shark battleship, the 1,000 warships of Lakamodi would have completely disappeared in this round.
That's it, Lakamodi also lost nearly a third of the warship, which is also a matter of no choice, the number of opponents is far more than him, and Lakamodi is also taking the initiative to attract the other party to reduce the pressure on the dark warship.
The losses of the opposing side were also relatively large, almost more than 500 warships were destroyed by Lakamodi. As the ships of both sides approached quickly, the tactics laid out earlier by Lakamodi came into play, and after the first salvo of the main guns, the Lakamodi fleet opened a jump tunnel on the side in a spiral fashion and went straight in.
This was how he learned the Dark Ships.
By the time the other party arrived, he had already reached the other side of the battleship.
Such repeated manipulation made the Uhora fleet that came to intercept him frustrated, and Rakamodi was like a slippery loach, always swimming around him, and after taking a bite, he jumped away, only to destroy some of the warships on the first contact, and the more he lost the ships.
The main fleet of Uhora continued to move forward at a rapid pace, unaffected by the harassment of Rakamodi, and no new forces were sent except for the 5,000 warships that had been detached at the beginning. It seems that its commander is quite confident in the strength of his fleet.
Only the Shahar was still clinging to the fleet like a parasite, following the fleet closely.
It's not that the Uhora fleet doesn't want to knock it out, but the Shahar, which is even more slippery than Rakamodi, doesn't give him a chance at all, and keeps changing ways to jump and entangle. In the end, the Uhora fleet was fortunate enough to ignore it.
Sagar was also very depressed at this time, and the hundreds of frigates behind the Shahar followed closely, not giving Sahar a chance at all, making it extremely difficult for her to get out of here, and she would be destroyed here if she was not careful.
She didn't want to die here meaninglessly, the dark disciples were still growing and growing, and the power of the Holy Domain was also extending around, and it was the time to follow His Majesty the Holy Lord to make achievements. From one of the few people who were able to reach the pinnacle of power in the Holy Realm from a little person who was barely cared about selling intelligence to make a living, she naturally had her own ideas.
"My lord, two of the Shahar's engines have been damaged, and it is no longer possible to complete the maneuver it used to be."
The voice of the Dark Disciple made Sagar show a bitter expression, with the ability of the Shahar, it is quite good to be able to entangle in such a large fleet until now, during this time, she has collected all kinds of information about the Uhora fleet, and now she has to think about how to escape, otherwise she will really die here.
Looking at the fleet of Uhora who had intercepted the fleet that had come to the rescue, Sagar suddenly smiled, and her bland face shone with glory, so that the dark disciples beside her immediately knew that she didn't have to die.
"My lord, what's your idea?"
"Jump now, but further back to join the fleet that comes to the rescue." Saga issued an order, although Saga's ability in interstellar combat was far inferior to that of generals like Lakamodi, but his judgment of the situation was far superior to that of others, and his grasp of opportunities was also more accurate.
She saw that both the rescued fleet of Lakamodi and the intercepted fleet of Uhora had gradually moved away from the main force. This is a good time to break away, and at this time, the detachment of the fleet will generally not send any more forces to pursue.
The Shahar burrowed into the passage in an almost eerie arc, and the frigates behind it immediately split up to pursue, and some predicted to intercept it.
But the Shahar did not appear in the predetermined area, but appeared directly behind them, speeding away towards the side of the Lakamodi fleet.
The frigate was entangled with the Shahar for a long time, and saw that the Shahar, which was out of danger, was about to join the Lakamodi fleet, and then returned to the fleet in a huff, their duty was to protect the fleet, and it was not necessary to kill the Shahar, where there was a blocking fleet and it could not escape.
But as soon as the Shahar emerged from the passage, it made another short leap, and quickly broke away from the battle on Lakamodi's side, and sped away towards the rear area.
Even Lakamodi, who was entangled with the Uhora fleet in the distance, couldn't help but marvel at the Shahar's operation.
It seems that the leader of this dark cultist, Lord Shaga, not only has an extraordinary ability to gather intelligence, but also has an amazing understanding of command tactics. Knowing that Sakya's intelligence dealer was born, Lakamodi couldn't help but marvel at Saga.
Without the worries of the Shahar, Lakamodi didn't care so much about the interception fleet in front of him, and this time the Black Shark battleships he carried were all unmanned warships, although it was a pity but not unacceptable. Now what he has to do is to hold back the entire Uhora fleet, not this small interceptor fleet.
But if you want to hold back the other party, you must first annihilate the force in front of you.
Now he had less than five hundred warships left, which was not enough for the nearly four thousand that followed, but Rakamodi made a bold and surprising move, and he ordered all the Black Shark warships to fly in all directions.
This operation made the Uhora fleet that followed closely behind stunned for a moment, isn't it looking for death when they disperse at this time? He didn't think much about immediately directing the fleet to do the same, and wanted to use the numerical superiority of his fleet's warships far superior to that of Lakamodi to wipe out the scattered Black Shark warships.
Almost every Black Shark battleship was followed by about ten warships chasing in the starry sky.
Korakamodi didn't want the other party to disperse and annihilate his own warships, and at this time, the advantage of the Black Shark Battleship's intelligent brain control came to the fore.
This is not a head-to-head battle with a large fleet, but a chase battle. The Black Shark battleship is constantly scattering and converging in the process of maneuvering, although there is still a long line of opposing warships behind, but the opponent's battleships are also being scattered, when the Black Shark battleship gathers to a dozen, it will launch an attack against the ten warships behind a Black Shark battleship.
With the performance of the Black Shark battleship, it dispersed again after firing a salvo, not giving the battleships behind a chance to counterattack at all.
Under this tactic, Lakamodi not only completely contained the opponent's interception fleet and avoided the pursuit of the Shahar behind him, but also continued to consume the opponent's warships.
At this time, the once scruffy homeless man Rakamodi turned into a shrewd and cunning businessman, constantly calculating and encroaching. By the time the other side realized the problem, nearly a thousand warships had already been wiped out in this chase.
It's almost crazy, a full 5,000 warships have lost more than 1,000 so far, but they have only wiped out less than half of the opponent's strength, and the attrition rate is almost three to one, how can it not be mad when the own side still occupies an absolute numerical advantage.
"Abandon the scattered chase and concentrate on the attack."
The Uhora fleet immediately adjusted its tactics.
But it was too late, the energy reaction of a large group in the distance was already seen on the detection equipment on the battleship, which was a sign of the approach of the opposing large fleet,
Although he was unwilling, it was safer for his own strength to return to the fleet, and the commander of the Uhora fleet hurriedly ordered all the warships to gather in one place and retreat in the direction of his main fleet.
