Just when Jiang Xingchen launched the final war of annihilation against Miles.

1480 light-years away, Kyle, who had received an order from Gruen, was now directing the fleet to begin a retreat.

It's just that the current situation after receiving Jiang Xingchen's news will not make it so easy for them to withdraw.

"Commander, the Scorpion Star Thieves have caught up, and they are currently about 30 light-seconds ahead of our fleet!"

"Huh? What did they catch up with? ”

Kyle was stunned for a moment when he heard the debriefing.

After all, he still has more than 11,000 warships in his hands, and the Scorpion Star Thieves only have fifty.

I've evacuated myself, and they don't seem to have any need to continue to come up and entangle, right?

"Report, the Scorpion Star Thieves are leaving again!"

"Leave? Is it a jump to leave? ”

"No, the gravitational field that didn't detect the transition behavior just disappeared suddenly, and when they appeared before, we didn't detect the gravitational field either."

Jumping behavior without the birth of a gravitational field...

Why does it feel so familiar?

Listening to the report, Kyle groaned in his heart.

And seconds later...

He suddenly remembered his most tragic day ten years ago.

And the opponent who made him gnash his teeth.

Mankind!

That's right, humanity has mastered a new faster-than-light technology in the first place.

This technology does not rely on gravity fields, and can be used continuously, unlike jump engines, which take a period of time after each use to cool the engine, remove radiation, and recharge.

The Scorpion Bandit appeared without warning just now, and then disappeared immediately.

Isn't this exactly the same as the kind of leap technology used by humans ten years ago?

If you want to think about it from this perspective, then isn't this scorpion star thief group just...

It's no wonder that the Scorpion Star Thieves are so weird that they can escape early in the morning, but they always allow us to catch up.

It's no wonder that thousands of light years after the main fleet pursued the Scorpion Star Pirates, humans raided the Auston Star Field.

No wonder...

There are too many things I don't understand, and here, Kyle has figured it all out.

This scorpion star thief group was originally created by humans!

"Unless they come within our range and can't ignore it, we will retreat directly according to the original plan!"

"Yes, Commander!"

As long as I ignore any of your actions, it will be impossible to fall into the trap.

That's how Kyle responds.

However, he still overlooked one thing, and that is...

Ten years ago, another technology that humanity held.

Jump jamming technology!

A few minutes later, when the fleet is ready for the next jump.

The problem arises!

"Commander, we've encountered a jump interference, and the jump engine won't start properly!"

"Search the area where the Scorpion Star Pirate appeared just now, look for suspected targets, the range of jump interference can't be too large, as long as you find and destroy it, you can solve the current predicament."

Knowing the current situation, Kyle still doesn't understand that this is a human using jump interference.

How did you forget that humans still have this hand?

However, the problem is not very big.

Because he knew that this jump interference device must have been deployed in the place where the scorpion star thief group appeared just now.

As long as you find it and destroy it, you will have a way to solve this situation.

"Found it!"

"Send a fleet out and destroy it!"

"Understood!"

"At the same time, let the remaining fleets divide their forces according to their own formations, and advance to different lines of defense, completely widening the distance between each other!"

"Yes, Commander!"

At the same time, the Tenth Fleet, disguised as the Scorpion Star Pirates, was a group of Zhurong-class battleships.

"Report, the Carey Empire has sent a fleet to the deployment point of our jump jamming device, and at the same time, the remaining 10,000 warships have also been divided into ten fleets and are heading in different directions."

"It doesn't make sense..."

Hearing the report, Mu Qianshan frowned.

After more than half a month of fighting, the impression given to him by the commander of the Kairui Empire was just two words...

Stupidity!

However, now their behavior has nothing to do with these two words.

It can even be said that it is very clever.

It may seem like a simple division of troops, but in reality, it is really the best way to deal with jump interference.

Eleven fleets, as long as they are at least fifty light-seconds apart from each other, and each time they destroy their own jump jammers, then...

The delayed operation that he formulated can be completely scrapped.

Originally, a jump jamming device could delay the opponent for hours, and there were more than thirty devices in his fleet, which was enough to drag them here for days.

However, according to the behavior of the Imperial fleet now, if you want to continue to use this method to drag it in the future, then you will have to use eleven jump jammers at a time.

In other words, if you use up all the jump jamming devices in the fleet, you can probably delay the opponent for about ten hours.

So, take advantage of the other party's division of troops and break each one again?

No kidding, he has fifty warships, and although the other side has divided its forces, there are at least a thousand warships in each fleet.

Twenty times the difference in troops, there is no way to face it head-on.

Even if he really lost one of the fleets, he would definitely not be able to fight against the remaining ten.

Opposite side...

It can't be a commander change, right?

Couldn't help but have such an idea flash through Mu Qianshan's mind.

"Dude, what do we do now?"

On the side, Liu Tao, who also saw where the problem was, couldn't help asking.

"There's no way, the method of dividing and retreating the troops used on the other side really hit our dead end."

"In the final analysis, there are still too few troops in hand, if there are hundreds of Zhurong-class warships, then I will definitely give him a single blow."

"Follow first, if they want to go to Auston, it will take at least more than ten days, and we can slowly look for opportunities along the way!"

Mu Qianshan shook his head, then sighed slightly and said.

Hours later.

Kyle first destroys the jump jammer.

At the same time, the fleet was also divided into eleven according to its own organization, and the interval between them was also tens of light seconds.

Immediately, they began to make a leap.

Mu Qianshan's situation here was soon spread to Jiang Xingchen's side.

"Commander, Brigadier General Mu Qianshan's side, it is likely that there is no way to delay, what are we going to do?"

"Actually, it's easy to do..."

After pondering slightly for a while, Jiang Xingchen said.

Easy to do?

In Fu Wanting's opinion, this is not easy to do at all!

"Bai Zhi, give me a piece of star carving!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Soon, the communication had been connected, and the figure of Duan Xingke, the commander of the First Squadron, was slowly projected.

"Brigadier General!"

"Star, Auston's mission, I plan to hand it over to you to continue to carry out, and it will take a little longer, even if it is a month."

Hearing this, Duan Xingke was instantly stunned.

Auston's battle to himself?

And even if it drags on for a month, will it be okay?

Doesn't it mean that the main force of the Kerry Empire is rushing over at the moment, and it will only take half a month at most?

"Commodore General, what about the main fleet that the Carey Empire is returning?"

"Since you can't delay, let's kill it!"

"Brigadier General, you mean personally..."

It seemed that he realized something, Duan Xingke said.

"That's right, now I'm giving the latest order!"

"Yes, Brigadier General!"

"The 1st to 5th fleets will stay and continue to carry out the Auston operation, under the full command of Duan Xingke, and the 6th to 10th fleets, under my personal command, will intercept and kill the main fleet of the Kairui Empire on the way back!"

"Yes, Brigadier General!"

Duan Xingke's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, as he guessed, the commander was going to directly kill the tens of thousands of warships of the Kairui Empire.

And themselves...

He became the temporary commander of Operation Auston.

It was a bonus.

After all, as long as you have the command experience of this large-scale operation.

That would be tantamount to a promotion to commodore in the future, and truly become the commander of a fleet...

paved the way.

How could Duan Xingke not be excited?
