In the conference room, almost all the commanders stared at Jiang Xingchen with a strange expression.

It's true, what Jiang Xingchen said just now...

"Everyone, 200 worm mounds, plus one insect mound that can be invisible, even if our whole fleet is dispatched, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat them."

"And once the fleet is gone, what will be the result of the Canglan system, everyone should understand, right?"

"So, before the final battle, I think we should weaken the strength of the Starry Sky Zerg to the greatest extent."

pondering Jiang Xingchen's words, although they were reluctant to admit it, they all knew that what he said was correct.

Except for those who are on missions outside and are not in the Death Nebula, there are now a total of more than a dozen warships in the Canglan system, and even if you add the four ships such as the Bear Beard, there are not twenty.

You must know that at present, except for the Hou Yi, no warship has the power to directly destroy the insect mound, and can only rely on the mecha force to carry out a similar internal blasting method to do this.

This trick is also very effective, but when you are dealing with millions of war bugs, and even a large number of tailed scorpions, this method becomes unlikely.

Therefore, with less than twenty warships, the possibility of defeating 200 mounds is very small, almost impossible.

"Looks like you already have an idea, tell me more!"

On the main seat, Mu Zhengfeng said to Jiang Xingchen.

"My idea is to concentrate all the warships on the thirty-eighth node to deploy the defensive line, and at the same time, before the worm mound group reaches the thirty-eighth node, all the 300-500 meter level worm mounds will be wiped out!"

"Before the Starry Sky Zerg reaches the thirty-eighth node, destroy all the 300-500 level worm mounds? How do you do that? ”

"It's very simple, let the Descendants go and fight those bugs for a few months, and destroy a few worm mounds at each node!"

Hearing this, Mu Zhengfeng first showed a look of doubt, but soon, he seemed to have figured it out, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Okay, just follow your method, how long will it take for Houyi to set off?"

"Terminal maintenance work and completion of resupply, approximately..."

------

Nebula Channel, Node 7.

One destroyer, as well as three frigates, together form a battle array.

While retreating, he kept attacking.

And what was chasing them were millions of war bugs, filling almost the entire passage.

"Captain, if we continue to retreat, we are expected to miss the jump point in a minute, and if we miss it, we will never have a chance to go to the eighth node again!"

Looking at the sea of insects that almost filled the passage, the first mate reminded.

As mentioned before, entering from outside the Death Nebula to the position of the Canglan system is not a straight passage, and it has to go through a total of 38 course changes during this period.

It's not that you can go straight to node 8 if you want to, but you have to get to the passage to the next node first.

If you missed the entrance, I'm sorry...

There's no other way but to turn around and do it all over again!

But can this situation be reversed now?

No way!

I didn't see that the millions of war bugs almost filled the entire passage.

So, if you pass through the entrance of the passage and don't enter, but continue to move forward and miss the entrance...

In the current situation, there is no chance of turning back unless you kill all the millions of war bugs that stand in your way.

"I know, but as long as the fleet command doesn't order us to withdraw, then we can't withdraw!"

The meaning of the first mate, Lu Feng understood.

But is this because he doesn't want to withdraw?

It was the fleet command that did not let it out, and if it did, it would be a deserter.

And at this moment...

"Captain, the latest order from the fleet command requires us to immediately withdraw from the seventh node and join the main fleet at the thirty-eighth node!"

Hearing the report, Lu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Almost, he's going to be here forever.

After all, if he misses the jump point, he can only continue to move forward, and if he continues to move forward, it will be a dead end, and in the end, there is no other way to choose except to rush into the spatial turbulence area.

"Helmsman, enter the jump point!"

"Yes, Captain."

"Communications officer, let the other three ships follow us!"

"Understood!"

------

Five days later.

Because of the four ships such as the Xiong Ji, they almost jumped in front of the starry sky Zerg.

Naturally, the entrance to the eighth node was also discovered by Chabir.

But as Jiang Xingchen said, it's useless to just find the entrance of the passage, you only have two choices here.

One is moving slowly at sub-light speed, but the distance between the seventh node and the eighth node is a full 0.5 light years away, and at the speed of the insect mound, I am afraid it will take thousands of years to reach it.

Of course, there is also a quick way, and that is to make a direct jump.

The premise is...

You need to know how long the passage is!

Otherwise, your jump distance is too short and meaningless, and if it's too long...

That's even possible...

Jumped directly into the area of spatial turbulence.

As a result, Chabir could only use the most primitive method to make a worm mound jump forward 0.005 light years alone, and if there was no problem, he would inform it through spirit sharing, and the remaining mounds would jump over again.

Although the efficiency is very low, it is better than safety, and even if there is an accident, it will only lose a worm mound.

So, it took five days for the insect mound group to finally pass through the passage and come to the eighth node.

It's just that as soon as the leap arrived, a terrifying pillar of light had already hit head-on, and there was no chance to dodge.

One of them, a 360-meter-diameter mound, was directly pierced and then shattered.

At this time, Chabir noticed that in front of the mounds group, there was a huge human warship.

However, he was not worried about this at all, and was even a little happy.

No, the person who can tell us how to get to the next node has been delivered to the door himself...

Without saying a word, just like at the seventh node, he directly ordered all the worm mounds to release war insects, forming a sea of worms to sweep over.

------

"Captain, the full power mode of the Yang Electron Star Shattering Cannon has been launched, and it is confirmed that a 300-meter-level worm mound has been destroyed!"

"The battleship began to retreat, keeping a relative distance from the sea of worms."

"It's the captain!"

"Weapons officer, the main gun is recharged, and the secondary gun is attacking."

"Yes, Captain... The main cannon is being charged, and it is estimated that the charging time will be 3 minutes, and all the secondary guns are calibrated and the attack begins! ”

The next moment, 24 particle beam cannons opened fire.

Beams of azure light were constantly shot out of the sea of insects, and almost every level could take away dozens or hundreds of war insects.

Coupled with the speed of the Descendant, neither the worm mound nor the war insect can catch up at all.

Of course, Jiang Xingchen did not let Chen Xiaoguang drive at his maximum combat speed, but reduced his speed and kept a safe distance from the sea of insects.

Three minutes later.

"Captain, the main gun is fully charged!"

"300-meter worm mound, you choose your own target and fire."

"Yes, Captain, the target has been locked, and the Positive Electron Star Shatterer Cannon has fired!"

Another mounds were destroyed.

The main cannon of the Houyi, used to hit these 3,400-meter-level worm mounds, is simply easy and enjoyable.

Until more than ten minutes later.

Hou Yi had already killed five insect mounds, and even brought more than 20,000 war insects with him.

"Captain, you've reached the limit, and if you drag it any longer, you'll miss the jump point!"

looked at the star map, Fu Wanting reminded on the side.

"Weapons officer, stop attacking!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Helmsman, take us into the passage and jump to the ninth node."

"Understood!"
