"The other party wants to break through our defense line and go behind us!" The old patriarch sighed.
In fact, he had expected this situation long ago. If the commander on the opposite side was not too stupid, he would definitely adopt such a breaking tactic.
He did not order the defensive fleet to pursue, and with their second-hand modified spaceships, they could not catch up with the other's high-speed fleet.
Once a large number of spaceships are dispatched for containment, the line of defense here will be empty, losing the fleet's cooperation, and it is easy to get in on the opposite side.
The performance of the spacecraft can be said to be the Achilles heel of the Ryan clan. No matter whether it is firepower or speed, it can't be compared with the regular army of Gemini.
The Bronze Mech Army is powerful, but at best it is a group of infantry, and it is simply impossible to compare speed and durability with cavalry.
Even if he knew the purpose of Gemini, there were limited means available to deal with it, and he could only watch the other party get farther and farther away.
Soon after, the two distant Gemini fleets opened the optical stealth system, and the entire fleet gradually faded and disappeared completely on the Raine radar.
Although gravitational radar can eliminate optical stealth, it is not a panacea. Its disadvantage is that the detection distance is short, which is proportional to the quality of the detected target.
The detection range of large-scale celestial bodies can reach the level of light years, but for this small fleet-scale flying target, tens of millions of kilometers is already the limit.
"Patriarch, what shall we do now? The two fleets add up to more than 60 warships. Although the combat effectiveness is not strong, it may have a certain impact on our logistics supply line ..." Some people worried.
"Relax, I have reminded Jin Locke of this situation long ago. He cherishes his private fleet to save his strength and let us be a cannon fodder. Then there should be an awareness of this situation. This responsibility cannot reach us .
As for the task of protecting the supply line, it is not our scope of responsibility ... "There was a flash of light in the eyes of the old patriarch.
...
"Bang! A bunch of waste!"
Sure enough, after receiving the news, Jinluo, who was hiding behind the safety, just dropped the glass and scolded the waste, but there was no real trouble to go to the Lane tribe.
The Lane tribe has indeed warned of the performance gap between the two sides, but the fleet under King Locke can be said to be his private property. If there is damage, he must not be distressed.
Jinlock's small abacus is very precise, even if the mercenaries die, he will not be distressed, and it will be a big deal to recruit a batch.
It is a pity that he misjudged the strength of Gemini civilization from the beginning. Although it is far inferior to the Woolf empire, it is by no means a worthy merchant who can easily eat it.
At least Gemini is still looking strong now, and this war will definitely be over for a while.
No matter where the war is, it is the most expensive investment. Even if the mercenaries are cheaper, the equipment and supplies are really real money.
Although the output of dozens of galaxies owned by Jinluo is not bad, it is self-produced and sold, and these consumptions also have the effect of stimulating domestic demand, but it can't stand to burn money all the time!
Jin Locke was a little irritated because of this, but he didn't expect the opposite party to give him back.
He is now a little difficult to ride a tiger.
You should know that this wormhole has been reported to the Woolf Empire, and he just bought the "independent development right" here.
This model is like a land contracting system developed by the Land Bureau. You pay for contracting a wasteland for development.
Regardless of the result of the development, it is sufficient to pay a personal income tax.
But now Jinluo has developed to half, and found that the "demolition fee" of local residents actually exceeds the standard, and additional investment is required!
This is about to die!
Don't continue to invest money, the initial investment will basically be floated.
But continue to invest, no one knows when this bottomless hole will fill up, and finally it is impossible for him to go bankrupt.
Therefore, stone gambling is risky and you need to be cautious when entering the bank ...
In the current situation, it is undoubtedly the safest way to turn over the Gemini mission to request the Imperial Army to take over the war. This is called cutting off the meat.
But the question is, is Kinlock a man who can cut meat?
Obviously, the cut must be dead and not cut! That made him feel uncomfortable even more than Jinlock's life.
"Let the Titan galaxy strengthen its defense and double the protection of the transport fleet. In addition, let the fifth fleet search the nearby star field to destroy the two annoying flies!" Jinluo gritted his teeth.
"Yes!"
In Kinlock's view, all these actions increase the cost, and that's all the hard-earned money he made!
These enemies!
...
The Titan galaxy is the closest galaxy to the wormhole battlefield under the name of Kinlock. The distance between the two is about 1 hour. According to the speed of the current Woolf spaceship, it takes about ten hours.
The Fifth Fleet is one of the five private fleets under King Locke. The number of battleships is about 500. It is usually responsible for the defense of the Titan Galaxy.
In addition, they are also responsible for providing logistical line support for this war, which can be said to be the biggest opponent of the Gemini fleet to break the engagement!
While Jin Locke was preparing to encircle and suppress the invasion fleet, Nie Yun led the fleet to a coordinate.
Unlike Beckman, who can only gather intelligence little by little with a blind eye, Nie Yun has already invaded the Ryan's intelligence system and gained a first-mover advantage.
Although the Rin tribe also has limited knowledge of the internal information of the Jinluok side, it is impossible to disclose to them the force layout and the like.
However, as a local native, the Lane people have a unique advantage in the intelligence of the surrounding star fields ...
Five days later, Nie Yun sailed all the way at high speed, made several camouflage changes, and led the fleet to the planned destination. What he saw was a huge area of meteorite!
"This is ..." Everyone in the fleet was stunned by the scene before him.
Within a range of about the diameter of the solar system, large or small fragments of celestial bodies slowly revolve around a white dwarf star in the center, and fine dust clouds spread throughout the star field.
What is shocking is not the scale of this meteorite belt, but some of the messages revealed in the broken bodies.
The large of these celestial fragments is comparable to a small planet, but it is not a regular ellipse or approximate shape formed naturally, but is full of edges and fractures, more like a planetary debris after being hit by some powerful weapon!
"Here ... Could it be a battlefield?" Catherine's eyes widened in surprise.
"Who knows?" Nie Yun also shrugged after pretending to be surprised.
The information here is naturally part of Nie Yun's, although incomplete.
The Broken Star Field is a well-known broken galaxy near the Titan Galaxy.
Similar to Catherine's guess, this used to be an ancient battlefield. It is said that the nearby Star Field originally belonged to a powerful civilization.
The Woolf Empire encountered this civilization more than a thousand years ago, and a large-scale war broke out quickly on both sides, and the result was obvious.
Although the Woolf Empire won the final victory, it was met with fierce resistance from each other. In the fierce war, both sides even destroyed this main battlefield in ruins. The intensity of the battlefield at that time can be seen!
After thousands of years of development, this broken galaxy is still desolate.
But the harsh and complex celestial environment has created a special cosmic group ... pirates!
