After several jumps and entering the Jinguan Star Zone, the Pegasus fleet is actively asking for the latest news from the front line.

But no news came back.

The Yunluo Fleet and the Northern Fleet were all uncontactable.

When the space fleet is sailing and fighting, because the ships are in high-speed motion most of the time, and even in the shuttle of the astral tunnel, plus the specifications of the star towers and the level of the star whisperers on each ship are different, it is too normal that they will often not be contacted.

However, the two fleets, none of the ships can be connected, and they can't be contacted for several days, which is a bit scary and scary.

Not only that, but when they entered the interior of the Jinguan Star Zone, they sailed forward for a short time before they ran into the ships of the Irontooth Orcs!

There should be no greenskins in the Jinguan Star area.

From the Fallen Area to the Jinguan Star Area, the most core location is in the White Mist Star and Yinguan III. To enter the Jinguan Star Zone from the Fallen Zone, these two galaxies are a must.

These two places haven't been lost yet, how can the green skin get by?

They still have some luck in their hearts, thinking that it is just a predatory invasion by a small group of green-skinned troops.

It's possible.

A galaxy, that big place, is usually one, two, or at most three or four colonized planets that have been developed. Even with the construction of a space fortress, a space station, and even a megastructure, the area that can be covered is still limited.

But in the universe, the emptiness of nothing is the most. Looking up at the night sky, the starry sparkle really catches the eye, so much so that one can ignore the large area of darkness in the background.

If you want to completely defend a star sector and not a single mosquito will fly over, there is only one way: block the astral tunnel hop in the galaxy.

The scale of the universe is so large, hundreds or even tens of thousands of light years at every turn, there are no astral tunnels, no time-space transitions, and the time to reach different star systems is so long that it can be regarded as almost impossible.

However, it is actually quite difficult to block the death jump point.

The transition point, although it is a 'point', is for the cosmic scale. In fact, it's a very large area. The small ones are as big as several stars combined, and the big ones can be the size of hundreds or thousands of stars. As long as you are in that area, you can make a jump.

How difficult is it to block?

There are some particularly important galaxies, such as the solar system where the capital of the Human Empire and the Holy Terra is located, and it is true that multiple star forts will be set up at all the hops to ensure that all areas of the hops are covered by the defenses of the star forts, so that no one can smuggle in.

But most galaxies can't build such a large, far away space fortress.

Not to mention the difficulty and cost of construction, long-term maintenance is a huge expense.

It would be nice to have a space station near the hop that would be manned for a long time and serve as an observation platform to monitor the actions of the hop. Many galaxies are not even ripe for this.

In such a situation, it is normal for a small group of enemies to slip through the defenses and jump from the astral tunnel to other places in the vast void.

Back then, wasn't Yelicia also in the Angry Owl Star and cooperated with Gu Hang to annihilate a small green-skinned fleet? Those green skins, maybe that's how they smuggled over, and they didn't expect to be able to conquer the planet, but mainly played a role in looting, slaughtering, harassing shipping routes, and the like.

The Pegasus fleet annihilated several of the small fleets they saw.

The largest is the size of a destroyer, and most of them are ordinary patrol ships.

The green-skinned garbage boat is still garbage. Generally under the same specifications, it can't beat human ships. Moreover, due to their nature, the green-skinned garbage boats are generally thin-skinned and large, which makes it very uncomfortable for them to bomb a few times, but on the contrary, a single shot on them can often directly break the shield and belt boat.

While clearing out these small orc pirate fleets that have invaded the Jinguan Star Zone, the Pegasus fleet is still persevering in trying to find a way to get the latest situation on the front line.

On the one hand, they continued to work hard to call the Northern Fleet and the Yunluo Fleet, and on the other hand, they also actively sent patrol ship formations to the front line of the battlefield, trying to figure out by themselves what was going on in front of them.

New news has finally arrived.

A formation of fast patrol ships, after probing out of the two galaxies, finally got the news of the Yunluo fleet.

I didn't see it, but I was in the same galaxy, and the star language system was finally able to break through the interference and get in touch.

This is great catastrophic news: the Yunluo fleet has been collapsed and is retreating and regrouping, and the Northern Fleet will either be completely wiped out, or it will be wiped out soon, anyway.

According to this new branch of the Yunluo fleet, they fought a defeated battle at Yinguan III. Their initial mission was to rescue the Northern Fleet, but when they had just jumped to Silver Pass III, they encountered a premeditated ambush by the Greenskin Fleet. The number of ships on the other side is about the same as theirs, and if they fight normally, with the ability of human ships, they should be able to win.

However, for some reason, the observation system of the human fleet did not warn of this ambush. The Bird Instrument did not warn, and the Contemplative Array did not warn, and the detachment that jumped into the Silver Pass III first sent back the information that everything was normal, which led to the occurrence of this ambush battle.

The green-skinned ship is rotten, that is rotten in the structure, rotten in the speed, rotten in the strength of the hull...... Anything can rot, but the firepower definitely doesn't rot.

The Yunluo fleet, which had just completed the jump, directly ate two rounds of salvos for nothing.

If it weren't for the fleet's quick response and the timely holding up of the shield, the result would not have been defeated, but annihilated.

The Northern Fleet was not saved, and the Yunluo Fleet itself suffered a loss from the old nose. They wiped out part of the greenskin fleet and suffered losses of their own, but just as they were still thinking about whether to continue the rescue mission, they detected that a greenskin fleet no less than their number came again.

So what's the point, run away.

Running all the way and chasing all the way, most of the Yunluo fleet still ran out, but they were scattered and needed to be regrouped.

As for the Northern Fleet...... That's basically a declaration of hopelessness.

Even if they are not eliminated, it is probably only a matter of time.

The Northern Fleet is finished, and the next thing to face is the swarming of green skins, which is a pessimistic idea;

It is an optimistic idea that the Northern Fleet can hold out for a while and continue to drag the main force of the orcs in Silver Pass III for as long as possible.

The Yunluo fleet also sent a corresponding request, hoping that the Tianma fleet could continue to carry out the response mission, but the target of the response changed from the northern fleet to the scattered Yunluo fleet.

So what to do?

The Pegasus fleet can only do the same.

The Yunluo fleet still has to be saved.

In the entire Dragon Eagle Star Domain, only talking about naval strength, there are actually three serious ones, and the order of strength is: Yunluo Fleet, Northern Fleet, and Tianma Fleet.

Although there is such an order, in fact, the strength of the three fleets is much different, and the most powerful Yunluo fleet has three more cruisers than the Tianma fleet.

The rest are just small formations of local forces, and the alliance navy is very strong and negligible.

The Northern Fleet is about gone, which basically means that the naval strength of the Dragon Eagle Star Domain is reduced by one-third. The Yunluo fleet must be saved, otherwise there will be only one Pegasus fleet left, and it will definitely be difficult to support it in the future.

They came to Jinguanxing District to respond, and they should have it.

However, the situation really changed three times in a day.

Just when the main force of the Pegasus fleet let go of a small group of greenskins, preparing to meet them according to the positions given by the Yunluo fleet and cover the reintegration of the Yunluo fleet, new news came again: the speed at which the greenskin fleet chased it out was even faster than expected.

The Yunluo fleet was forced to go to the predetermined position, so they could only continue to run all the way to the southwest, seeing that they were about to run out of the Golden Pass and run to the southwest of the Cursed Bone Star Region.

At that moment, the position of the Pegasus fleet suddenly became awkward.

You ran away, what should I do?

After receiving a few small ships from the Yunluo fleet, he suddenly got the news that the Pegasus fleet had a fight with a small greenskin pursuit fleet, and after winning the battle, they didn't dare to pursue and expand the results of the battle, so they could only retreat in a gray way.

On the way back, the admirals were worried one by one.

Positionally, they are more dangerous than Yunluo.

However, there is good news.

The main force of the iron-toothed orcs did not keep their eyes on them, and still pursued the Yunluo fleet relentlessly, burning the flames of war all the way to the west and south.

The direction of the evacuation of the Pegasus fleet is to the southeast of the Jinguan Star Area, which is also the Eagle Horse Star Area, which is a different route.

But even so, they were caught up when they first entered the Hippogriff Star Zone.

That's on the Steel Wings.

Steel Wing Star can be called the most important position in the Hippogriff Star Region in this war, and it is a transportation artery that extends in all directions. To the south, it leads to the hinterland of the Hippogriff Sector, and a little further southeast to enter the Fastes system of the Pegasus Sector. That's the heart of the Seven Horses.

To the northeast, it borders the Fog Horse Star Zone. I'm afraid that the future of the Wuma Star Region will not be easy, and it borders the Tongguan Star District, which is also adjacent to the Fallen Zone. But fortunately, the Tongguan Star Region is not the focus of the war at the moment, and the situation is not bad - if the latest intelligence update is correct.

Further northwest from the Steel Wing Star, there is the Jinguan Star Zone.

Before the very early times, Steelwing could almost be regarded as a strategic location, the focal point of many surrounding star sectors, well-fortified, and even a fortress world.

It's just that in the era when the Eastern Celestial Domain was unified and the Dragon Eagle Star Domain was generally peaceful, there were no enemies around the Steel Wing Star, and it slowly lost its need as a fortress world, and then transformed into a trade hub site. But a few decades ago, after the rise of the Irontooth Clan, the surrounding situation became chaotic, which caused the trade volume to plummet and became a little declining.

It wasn't until six years ago that the war resumed, and the role of the Steel Wing Star was taken seriously, becoming a hub for attacking the rear base camp, materials and troop movements in the Jinguan Star Area.

After retreating to Steelwing, Elicia stated during a military meeting:

"I can't go back."

Hearing Yelicia's words, no one said a word.

Everyone was a little scrambling, and they were a little dazed.

Tillemans did not speak.

Sitting in the quintet's room, Yelicia looked at the virtual images of the other colleagues, sighed, and said, "If we go back, there is no way back." Do you want to go all the way back to the Pegasus Star Zone? Without our defense, the Hippogriff would have fallen completely, and no space force could compete with the Iron Tooth Greenskin. When the time comes, those greenskins will still have to chase into the Pegasus Star Zone, and we still won't be able to avoid this war. ”

"It's better to stay with Steel Wing, from here on, there is no planet more suitable for defense than Steel Wing."

"Staying here, we can also ask the Hippogriff to mobilize all available forces. The Pegasus Sector will also give us full support. On the other hand, if we retreat to the Pegasus, then we will only have the manpower and material resources available to the Pegasus region. ”

Under Elixia's analysis, everyone's minds were almost settled.

Considering her words, everyone had to admit that she was right.

Guarding the Steel Winged Star, there is a way back.

Even if you can't defeat the green-skinned fleet in the decisive battle in space, hiding under the cover of the firepower platform, armed space station, and star fortress of the Steel Wing Star, it is always safe to protect yourself. And because the defense facilities and troops on the surface of the Steel Wing Star are relatively sufficient, it is not easy for Greenskin to take the planet through ground attack.

All things considered, it's really the best place to defend.

But the final question is...... I want the Alliance to help defend it, but you don't go back to the Pegasus Zone to guard it, but you guard it outside?

The head of the alliance, would you like to?

Yelicia looked at herself when she saw the virtual images of these colleagues, and she also sighed with a wry smile:

"I'll go tell you."

"Then decide so." Tillemans made the final decision.

……

"No problem, I support your decision."

After listening to what Yelicia said, Gu Hang didn't think much about it, and agreed,

Elicia breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, with the temperament of an ordinary imperial official, it is quite difficult to accept this kind of thing.

We all know the truth that my lips are cold and my teeth are cold, but why didn't you warm me when I was cold? Do I have to warm others?

But fortunately, Gu Hang is not such a person.

Just as he was thinking about it, Gu Hang further said, "The alliance will not only support the war of Steel Wing, but I will also personally lead the troops there. The Alliance Navy, the Alliance Army, the Immortal Bird Warband, the 3rd Army Group of the Dragon Eagle Legion, and the Raging Bear Legion will all participate in this war!

Damn!

Thank you for the [Mountain Opening Axe] boss for rewarding the alliance leader again!!

It's 74k now...
