Ella Star, Executor Base 31.

The room was so quiet that you could hear breathing.

In the projection light curtain on the conference table, the missile tail flame that looked like a meteor was accurately captured and reproduced by the brain, and at the same time, Decca also reported the number of enemy missiles.

1100 pieces.

This number is much more than the estimate of the Execution Corps - according to the forecast, the number of human missiles should be around 600 to 800.

Hall stared at the time prediction in the lower right corner of the frame.

Eighteen minutes were left before the missile strike.

Looking at this time, Hall exhaled slowly, and then hummed softly: "It seems that humans do hide a lot of things. ”

"Is it possible that they will split into multiple waves?" Decca said right away - he remembered the first battle with the human.

"It's possible, but it's not important." As he spoke, Hall looked at Prophet Dieter, "Your Excellency, when will the jammer be released?" ”

"A minute." Prophet Dieter had already stood up at this time, looked at the star map with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Since we admit that the human computing terminal has super power, the closer it is, the more it can mislead the tracking of the missile—we must take into account that the enemy can realize that it has been induced, but it cannot be re-locked in a short time. ”

"But it's not about the limit, the better." Prophet Dieter immediately added: "Because the speed of the missile has reached sub-light speed when it reaches the end, even if it is re-aimed at the target, it will not be able to complete the lock." ”

Someone immediately asked, "Why?" ”

"Because inertia does not allow it, although the weapons of human beings are advanced, they still do not exceed the upper limit of science after all." Prophet Dieter put his hands behind his back and spoke with great confidence.

He has been leading the technical support team to this Base 31 for a year.

During the year, his main and only goal was to deal with the elusive missile weapons of mankind.

It can be said that in the entire empire, there is no one who knows more about human missiles than him.

- Over the past few years, a quarter of the Legion's losses have been from sub-light missile attacks from humans!

Don't underestimate this quarter, you know, human tactics change back and forth, but when fighting fleet group operations, there is always a habit, or tactical idea, is to come first with a wave of missiles - this means that before the two fleets have entered the distance of "firing each other in good faith", the legion will lose a wave first. It not only caused losses, but also engaged in the mentality of the executive.

Now, the fundamental reason why Hall dares to fight is that after a year of hard work, Dieter Prophet gave a countermeasure of electromagnetic interference + induction.

"Needless to say, the enemy's primary target must be orbital ships."

Prophet Dieter pointed to the light curtain in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Although we have laid multiple lines of defense next to the orbital ship for interference, inducement, and interception, we still can't think that the orbital ship is absolutely safe. I would also like to ask you to understand this, Mr. Chief Commander. ”

Hale nodded heavily with a solemn expression, and after a moment, a smile flashed in his eyes and he continued to fall into a serious silence.

The orbiter stayed in the Sophie system for more than half a year, and although he didn't fire a single shot, he believed that humans must know the power of the orbiter!

Even if humans don't know, those Krong people who are already in league with humans will inevitably tell them.

And the reason why Hall wants to put the orbiter in front of humanity in advance......

Of course, to make the orbiter the most important goal of mankind!

Are orbiters precious?

Of course precious! There are only two of them in the entire base! Do you say that it is precious?

Are orbital ships powerful?

Of course it's powerful!

When it is needed, it can directly kill the enemy's flagship - whether it is a flagship or a "super battleship" - as long as it is a slow-moving battleship, it is its prey.

In addition to the long-range super main cannon, it can also adjust the dispersion of energy to continuously output thousands of high-energy tachyon particle beams, turning an entire star field into a forbidden area of death.

Therefore, in the combat command manual, there are generally only three scenarios for the use of orbital ships.

The first is to destroy the enemy's impenetrable fixed space defenses, such as underground space defense stations built on large asteroids, dwarf planets, and moons, as well as some whimsical and purely artificial space defense fortresses.

The second is to open up the situation and destroy the enemy's flagship and superweapons of the same size.

The third is to defend and act as a space fortress.

Therefore, when Dika was deflated, he begged Hall to dispatch the orbital ship, but Hall did not agree - it was completely at that time and time to dispatch the orbital ship, and there was no meaning at all.

Until...... Humanity began to gather all its forces and began to confront each other in the Sophie system, and Hale finally identified the greatest threat to the human fleet before he sent the orbiter.

And with these two orbital ships today, Hall does not expect them to play much of a role.

The most fundamental thing is to use these two orbital ships to attract the first wave of human missile offensive that is most unreasonable!

And if you want to attack the orbital ship, you must go through the layers of interception of the main battleship in front, not to mention, you must also be intercepted, electromagnetically shielded and induced by the frigate group when you are close to the orbital ship!

Hall knew of course that the reminder of the Prophet Deka was reasonable, but if it was possible to suck in a large number of enemy missiles and thus save the capital battleship as much as possible, then the orbital ship would ...... What's the matter?

He's going to fight a war of annihilation, and the orbital ship is of no use here except for bluffing - unless it can bring the enemy into the orbital ship's kill range, and at the same time disperse.

Of course, this is also one of the preparatory tactics.

But this battle, he never expected to win with orbital ships!

The room fell silent again, and Hall's expression calmed down.

But his hands behind his back clenched slowly, and he kept raising his fingers in turn with the time.

Time passed slowly, and in the night sky, the tail flame of the human missile was already invisible—indicating that the human race had changed its propulsion and entered a period of full acceleration.

Liana also stood up, and she came behind Hall, reached out her hand, and gently squeezed Hall's fist.

She knew that although Hall was unusually calm at this time, her heart was extremely nervous.

- This battle is so important!

It is not only a summary and attempt of Hall's operational thinking in the past six months, but also has a bearing on the entire base......

No! More than just a base! It is a decisive battle for the future of the entire Legion and even the entire Holy Empire!

There is no doubt that everyone here believes that human beings are the strongest enemy that the divine civilization has encountered in these 10,000 years!

But at present, there are still many people in the upper echelons of the Holy Empire who are optimistic, believing that the defeat in the early stage is more because the base of No. 31 was too light in the early war, which led to the destruction of the entire fleet, as long as Hall fights seriously, it will definitely be able to achieve victory - this is also the reason why Hall only won two bases to assist.

According to Hall's vision, he wants to build a response center consisting of at least five bases, using the Sophie system or the Dekka system as a battlefield to ensure a foolproof victory, and at the same time, turn humanity into a whetstone that drives the scientific and technological progress of the empire, and then slowly reshape the entire decaying empire.

Now, with a "super luxury lineup" of 2,000 combat warships and two orbital ships, Hale is dealing with more than 500 human beings - now 800 combat warships - and this configuration alone can completely gag the mouths of those people.

Therefore, Liana knew that Hall was not seeking "complete victory", but rather to destroy the enemy's existing strength, and at the same time show the entire empire how strong the enemy was - yes, Hall knew from the beginning that there would be losses in the fleet, and there would be big losses.

But being able to accept a big loss doesn't mean that Hall can accept defeat - although failure can indeed wake up those "stupid turtles", all of Hall's ambitions and ideals almost stop there.

Therefore, it is a war that can only be won.

And it's a victory that can only be developed according to the script written by Hall!

Once the script is over, then Hale can gain unprecedented glory and authority while awakening the corrupt Supreme Council! Carry out his will and thoughts throughout the Legion!

Therefore, she knew that in the Hall of Prophets at this time, her mentor was also quietly waiting, looking at this star map spanning hundreds of millions of light years.

Liana pursed her lips and put her hand in Hall's palm, she felt the warmth of her palm and Hale's pulse.

She was silent, just looking at the fat that had successfully lost weight and fitness, and now turned into a solid and reliable mountain-like arm, an untimely but irrepressible surge suddenly rose in her mind - when the supreme ceremony came, when this solid mountain and peak merged with herself, she should have the most wonderful happiness in the entire universe, right?

Time still passed as if it had passed forever.

Gradually, Liana felt her palms getting warmer and warmer, and Hall was holding her hand harder and harder.

And then...... She saw that Hall's shoulders were loosened and she began to slowly adjust her breathing.

She knew he was going to give orders.

At this moment, the entire conference room suddenly lit up for a moment.

In the next second, the entire projection light curtain turned snow-white.

Liana only felt a sudden pain in her hand!

"What's going on?"

Hall caught in his chest in one breath, and he shook his hand vigorously, his gaze quickly falling on the light curtain.

"Something wrong with the sensor? Or is there something wrong with the projection setup? ”

Everyone looked at each other, looking at Dika nervously—he was in control with his brain.

"I don't know, I'll look it up!" Decca's voice trembled slightly, and his hands quickly began to slide on the control panel.

And then...... His pupils froze instantly.

On the battleship sequence display, the top two numbers have turned gray.

Dika's body began to tremble involuntarily.

And in the next second, the synthesized sound without any emotion echoed in the conference room.

"Commander, be careful."

"Orbital Ship No. 1 rolls off the assembly line."

"Orbital Ship 2 rolls off the assembly line."

As the system chime fell, the projection gradually returned to normal.

I saw that in the depths of the two warship groups, each showed a cloud of light that had not completely disappeared.

"Why?"

Hall's eyes widened, and he roared in an instant!

Everyone was dumbfounded!

Why?

They also want to know why!

Why did the enemy's missiles blow up when they had at least two minutes left?

At this moment, everyone's heads went blank.

Even Dieter Prophet, who knew most about human missiles, froze in place with his mouth open, his eyes full of confusion.

At this moment, his mind flashed through the reason why there was a problem with the orbital ship and the reason for the self-detonation, but it didn't take him a second for this speculation to be immediately overturned by him - because it was impossible for both orbiters to have problems at the same time.

Not only is it impossible for two orbital ships to have problems at the same time, but even when crossing an artificial jump point that is most prone to problems...... That was at least half an hour ago!

Or ...... A mysterious force has entered the orbital ship and placed a time bomb in the orbital ship!

But either way...... There is no way to explain it! Why...... Time will be so delicately controlled.

"Why? Can anyone tell me why? ”

Hall's roar echoed.

With a roar, he let go of Liana's hand, and at this moment, his mind went blank.

"Bang!" His fists slammed into the conference table in an instant.

No one answered him.

Everyone froze in the posture they had held five seconds ago, staring blankly at the star map on the light curtain.

And then...... Right under everyone's noses, a large flash of light began to rise in the group.

Just like those mischievous stars in the night, twinkling in the two huge fleets like stars, announcing their existence, and ...... Disappear.

The emotionless synthesized sound sounded again.

"Project 18 frigate off the assembly line."

"Project 27 frigate off the assembly line."

"Destroyer No. 16 off the assembly line."

"Project 79 destroyer off the assembly line."

"Destroyer No. 38 rolls off the assembly line."

"No. 65 ......"

The voice of the command system is like that of hell's roll caller, indifferently announcing the verdict of death.

Hall's eyes were almost on fire, and he leaned forward, his arms supporting his entire body like iron pillars, his eyes fixed on the lower right corner of the light curtain.

The lower right corner still shows the moment when the nearest missile hit.

1 minute and 26 seconds!

"Who knows, what attacked us?"

Hall slowly looked up, his gaze slowly sweeping over the faces of his subordinates, and finally stopping at the face of Prophet Dieter.

"Dieter, what about the laws of physics you are talking about?"

Prophet Dieter looked back at him blankly.

It was an attack that had never been seen before, and it was impossible to discover.

How did he know what it was?

At that moment, a voice sounded behind Hall, almost with a crying voice.

"Hall, intercept!"

Liana held her left hand and gritted her teeth to remind Hall.

Hall's nervousness and outburst just now only made her feel that her hands hurt as if they were about to break her bones, and then ......

Her heart will be broken.
