(Chapter 31) The Death of Hope

Great Khan.

Gu Fan still remembered that Lilim had mentioned this name to himself.

Not long ago, an unfamiliar force claiming to be the Khan's personal guard captured the human outpost where Lilim lived, and if nothing else, the Dyson sphere facility in the galaxy should have fallen into their hands.

A force of predators with a Dyson sphere and possibly already in possession of human technology, perhaps this is why they were able to launch a large-scale invasion?

Gu Fan couldn't give an accurate conclusion on this point, but it was certain that according to the alert sent by the community, this force had now created considerable trouble for the Galaxy Community.

And for Gu Fan, who is still in the development stage, this may become a rare opportunity.

Until the right time comes, it is imperative to prioritize self-development.

......

Meanwhile.

Located in the planetary orbit of the Karoa system, a large fleet of ships is slowly assembling it.

It is a mixed fleet of warships and civilian vessels, and at this moment there are still a large number of civilians waiting to be evacuated from the surface of the capital star.

If they don't, it won't be long before the Great Khan's fleet arrives, and these unarmed civilians will undoubtedly be wiped out at the hands of bloodthirsty marauders under the relentless orbital bombardment.

Inside the bridge of the Lorraine, Captain Doyle was staring at the chaotic civilian fleet not far away.

"How's the situation at the front?"

Hearing the inquiry, one of the liaison officers in front of the console said with some uncertainty.

"It shouldn't be too optimistic...... From the very beginning, we haven't been able to hear anything from the front......"

Lost contact on the front line, and as an experienced officer, Doyle naturally knew what this meant.

Not long ago, in order to buy more time for the civilians who were still evacuating in the rear, the Third Main Fleet, which had just been evacuated from the battlefield, only after a simple repair, once again plunged into the battlefield against the Great Khan.

It is said that it is the main fleet, but in fact it is just a remnant army, and since there is not enough number of ships, some civilian ships that have been simply modified have also spontaneously joined it.

Now, half a day has passed since the departure of the Third Fleet, and according to the initial calculations, they should be able to buy two precious days for the evacuation of the rear.

"Let them speed up! No one was allowed to carry personal belongings, as much space was to be made for each spacecraft as much as possible, and if anyone dared to make trouble, the soldiers were to be summarily killed. ”

"Is there any news from above? When will reinforcements arrive? ”

In the face of Captain Doyle's questioning again, the liaison officer already showed a look of disappointment on his face, and then reported with a dead face.

"There is no news of reinforcements for the time being...... The people above just said let's continue to stick to it, and they are still negotiating with the people of the community about the specific agreement......"

There is no doubt that this sentence completely annoyed Captain Doyle, who was in charge of the on-site command.

"Negotiation? I wish I shot those damn brutes! Do they really understand what's going on here?! ”

As one of the youngest members of the Galactic Community, Doyle's country is not very powerful, and it has only been about two hundred years since they first entered space.

For them, there are still too many unknown secrets in this universe, but before they have time to explore, the malice from the universe has already swallowed them up.

Unfortunately, they became the targets of the Great Khan's conquest, and the people of Doyle hoped to use the power of the community to resist the invasion of the marauders.

However, the reality is that no one is really willing to sacrifice their strength for the sake of a weak race, and their sincere request is only exchanged for a ruthless migration order.

The Community demanded that they abandon their homes, and they did, but now the fleet that the Community had promised to help cover the evacuation was gone.

"Keep contacting the Third Fleet, I want to know what the hell is going on with them!"

Just as Doyle was still anxious about the situation in front of him, a sudden shrill alarm interrupted his already messy thoughts.

"Sir! A large number of navigational reactions have been detected at the edge of the galaxy! Several fleets are coming towards us! ”

"How many ......"

"It's the Great Khan, and the preliminary estimate is that the number is about ......"

"600 ......"

Hearing this, the bridge of the Lorraine instantly fell into a deathly silence.

"Inform the fleet to set sail immediately."

"But those who haven't been evacuated yet......"

However, before the liaison could finish his words, the next second Doyle's roar echoed in his ears.

"Give them up! Let the fleet go now! ”

Not long after his words fell, in the distant galaxy, with an ominous orange light flickering, a huge meteorite had already appeared in everyone's field of vision.

To be precise, it was more like a monstrous warship made of space waste, with a spiky hull symbolizing the tyranny of the Marauders.

Doyle recognized it, and it was none other than the flagship of the Great Khan himself, a huge nightmarish battleship.

As it appeared, more and more orange-yellow light began to center on the battleship, appearing at the edge of the galaxy like a dense cluster of stars.

600 elite warships......

In terms of numbers alone, it was already twenty times the size of the garrison, and in this vast fleet, Doyle even saw the flagship of the former Third Fleet, which seemed to have been captured by the marauders.

At this moment, all Doyle had at his disposal was a convoy piloted by new recruits, and the flagship Lorraine under his command was just a cruiser that was long overdue for retirement.

Due to the sudden appearance of the Great Khan, the fleet behind them to evacuate the civilians was also thrown into chaos for a while.

Should I evacuate?

As long as the bow of the ship is turned around immediately, at the expense of the large civilian fleet behind it, this fleet of marauders may not be able to catch up with itself.

At this moment, Doyle only felt that the time around him seemed to have slowed down, and the deputy on the side was nervously asking for the next order, and the fleet's communication channel was filled with the screams of those civilians......

The crew of the Lorraine, on the other hand, watched themselves in silence.

It's only a few seconds later......

"Captain! What are we going to do! ”

Hearing the anxious voice, Doyle simply glanced back at the lieutenant, after holding the military hat with the insignia on his head.

"Attack."

His voice was loud and calm, without a hint of hesitation,

"I have only one order."

......

"That's attacking forward!"
