Vol 4 Chapter 1281: The fleeting human fleet

"This elementary civilized fleet, as expected, is going to the μ73 Shield. Every step they make is in our calculations, and every hyperspace wormhole that they can escape is calculated, and they will not have it. Any chance of escape."
The chief of staff in the Kaz'tik fleet, after seeing the human fleet appearing on the channel to the Shield Seat μ73, came to Kaz'tik and reported to him.
"How long will it take to reach μ73 Scutum?" Kaztic asked.
"About ten days later, you will arrive at μ73 Scutum." The chief of the staff replied.
"They have walked through three hyperspace wormholes, they should be almost the same, prepare to carry out the final ambush. They have no way to escape, and in the end they can only choose to fight to the death." Kaztec ordered.
"General, please rest assured that with our strength, we can destroy this human fleet without any problems, and we can even control the battle damage within a very small range." The chief of the staff is very confident about this.
His confidence does not come out of thin air.
Even based on the human fleet destroying the capital stars of the three nobles such as the Duke of Arden, the calculated combat power cannot be fought head-on in front of the main fleet of Palese, commander-in-chief of Kaztic.
"Then prepare tombstones for them at μ73 Scutum. Ten days later, let them be buried in μ73 Scutum, and notify the Duke of Arden to come over and give him a chance for revenge." Kaztic said.
"That's right. I believe that the Duke of Arden is willing to come and solve this human fleet by himself, so that we can save a lot of our military expenses." The chief of the staff highly appreciated this decision.
Although Kaz'tik has the support of his teacher Zandar Ikoc on the home planet, he can implement star map propulsion tactics in the galaxy.
However, this tactic still consumes a huge amount of resources.
The more resources consumed, the greater the pressure that Zandar Ikoc has to bear.
Therefore, although there are people behind it that you can implement the star map promotion tactics without compromise, you still have to do your best to save resources when you can save resources.
For example, annihilating the human fleet and letting the Duke of Arden's fleet go into battle is a good decision.
...
When Duke Arden received the order from Kaz'tik, he almost knew what Kaz'tik's purpose was when he heard the proposal of "revenge."
Sitting in their place, each one is extremely shrewd.
The Duke of Arden could tell at a glance that Kaztic was thinking of ways to save military expenditures and maintain authority for his teacher Zandar Ikoc.
Although he could see it, the Duke of Arden immediately agreed to the proposal.
Because Kaz'tik's proposal was right in his arms.
Even if he needs to spend a lot of military expenses, he also wants to annihilate the human fleet with his own hands and avenge his three capital stars that have turned into ruins.
...
Ten days after the time came soon.
The senior officials of the Palestine Galactic Star Empire, such as Kaztic, Duke of Arden, and Earl of Arnis, patiently waited for the emergence of the human fleet in μ73 Scutum.
By the tenth day, when the night came, the human fleet still did not appear.
The Duke of Arden was a little impatient, and asked aloud, "Is the calculation wrong?"
"It is a normal thing for the total voyage of nearly a month to have an error of one or two days. It did not appear today, and it will definitely appear tomorrow. All the routes they can escape from the Scutum spiral arms are already being calculated. There will be any problems." Kaztec was very sure of this.
He had personally seen this encirclement and annihilation plan and signed the action plan after confirming that there were no problems.
So far, every step is quite perfect.
Moreover, a situation like this kind of low-level civilized fleet breaking into the defensive area is like a turtle breaking into the urn and encircling it, like catching a turtle in the urn, without difficulty.
When they waited until the eleventh day, there was still no trace of the human fleet in the star field around μ73 Scutum.
By the eleventh night, the Duke of Arden began to be a little worried.
"General Kaztick, I think something is not right. It is best to confirm that there is no problem, otherwise, unpredictable things may occur." The more Duke Arden waited, the more he felt something was wrong, and he reminded him.
Kaztec was a bit dissatisfied with his reminder, but he still glanced at the chief of staff to the side and confirmed that there was no problem, and said: "There is no problem, everything is being calculated, so far, and expected The time error is still within 10%, and there are no accidents."
The Duke of Arden is still not at ease: "I don't think things are so fleeting, this is called human civilization, there will always be some unpredictable things."
Kaztic has fought for hundreds of years on the main battlefield of Palerce’s home planet. In essence, he despises the nobles of remote galaxies like Duke Alton, so he is a little rude:
"Duke, I think you are suffering from traumatic sequelae due to the destruction of the triple star capital, right? You will have a sense of fear for a fleet of primary civilizations."
"It's not fear, it's just due caution." Duke Arden's expression was a bit ugly, and his tone was corrected seriously.
However, in the eyes of others, his state of being extra vigilant towards the human fleet really seemed like fear.
The Duke of Arden was dissatisfied with what Kaztec said, so he didn't say anything about it.
They continued to wait until the eleventh night was about to pass, and the twelfth day was about to come.
Suddenly, an emergency piece of information came from the intelligence department of the Palestine Galaxy Far Star Empire.
"The human fleet appeared in the λ252 Scutum star system, and is about to pass through the hyperspace wormhole of λ252-λ253 Scuti."
"what!?"
The Duke of Arden, Kaz'tik, and all the senior officials of the Palestine Galactic Far Star Empire who heard this information showed a surprised look at the same time.
However, there is a slight difference in the expressions of surprise between them.
The moment Duke Arton heard this information, he knew that his previous feeling was right, that kind of wrong feeling was very accurate.
Kaztiq immediately turned to look at the chief of the staff, and asked: "How much defensive power does Shield λ253 have!"
"One...a standard fleet." The chief of the general staff's voice was a little cocky.
Because he can already think that the situation is not so good now.
Shield seat lambda 253 only has the defensive force of a standard fleet, which means that there are only 12 warships.
A standard fleet can't stop the human fleet at all.
However, the human fleet has now appeared in front of the hyperspace wormhole at Shields λ252-λ253.
And most of the power of Kaz'Tik and Duke of Arden were deployed in the Shield Seat μ73.
In other words, the defensive force of λ253 Scutum is empty, and the fleet of μ73 Scutum can't make it through.
All the high-levels of the Palestine Galaxy Far Star Empire can already think that the human fleet will escape the Scutum spiral arm and return to the Sagittarius spiral arm as long as it breaks through λ253 Scutum.
"Immediately order the defensive fleet of Shield λ253 to destroy the hyperspace wormhole!" Kaz'tik made a decisive decision and issued a very vicious order.
