Chapter 1247: Halo Wars (16)

AD.2157.4.21
The halo galaxy, near the Mass Effect Repeater.
laugh--
Silently, the scarred Star Alliance fleet ended the short jump and appeared like a phantom in the airspace 15 kilometers away from the repeater.
They stayed for a while in the posture of "ready to jump again at any time", because they did not find the enemy, they spread out and formed a battle formation and slowly approached the repeater.
The flagship battle group of the Third Fleet had been attacked by aliens in the "Fourth Halo" before. If it weren't for Conna's reminder, it would have almost wiped out.
However, due to the delay of some incidents when the aliens dispatched airborne troops to pursue the investigative forces that "landed" to the fourth halo, the flagship battle group found an opportunity to regroup and make a short jump.
But the trouble is that this kind of "short-distance jump" that is not a cross-galaxy must target some kind of celestial body, and the halo galaxy has only that star except for the nine halos.
The flagship battle group that did not plan to land on the surface of the sun jumped to other auras, but after the jump, there was no chance to rest. After releasing the airborne troops, the alien fleet followed.
Obviously, as the "hosts", they have long been monitoring these auras. No matter which aura the Star Alliance fleet transitions to, they will always follow them as soon as possible.
In the process of chasing, there will naturally be battles. Both sides have their own injuries. The only good news is that although these alien fleets are numerous and powerful, their bodies are very fragile, and they often become a pile of space after a few cannons. Garbage, and then the garbage will be taken away by the Star Alliance fleet for research.
In the end, the Star Alliance fleet deceived the pursuit fleet with a false shot, and went directly back to the mass repeater airspace for several short distances. It seems to be safe, but it is not certain how long it will be safe.
On the flagship "Karachi" bridge, General Gritham with white hair and mottled is pacing back and forth at the star map table: "It seems that they have been thrown away, Adjutant, report the current situation."
"Our fleet lost 35%, and the alien fleet lost only 17%." The middle-aged adjutant who had previously recruited Conna and others was following him with a data board: "But from the total combat power of our two sides By comparison, our side has an advantage in the battle, General."
"The tiger can't hold a pack of wolves..." General Gritham frowned: "There is still no news about the landing troops?"
"Yes, they have been out of contact for nearly 48 hours. Since there are no other stars in the halo galaxy and the buoy network cannot be established, their communication must be within the effective range. In addition, we are sure that the alien fleet has sent several times more than theirs. Airborne troops landed, and they can basically be marked as KIA (death in combat)." The adjutant responded.
"No, let's mark it as MIA (missing in battle) for the time being," the old general shook his head: "The outstanding graduates specially sent by N7 will not die so easily."
"Yes, General," the adjutant flicked a few times on the data pad in his hand, and continued: "In addition, the analysis of aliens and their warships has also been completed."
The adjutant clicked on the star map table, and the structure diagram of the long and narrow silver warship and the half-length diagram of the alien were projected from the sky:
This kind of warship has only one main gun and two secondary guns, but it has the invisibility ability to deal with optical and electromagnetic wave radars. If they are in a stealth state, they can only be detected by gravitational wave radars with a short scanning radius. According to other data analysis , It is equivalent to the destroyer in the Star Alliance standard. "
"Heh,'Destroyer Sea'? During the exercise, someone indeed proposed this method of tactics to deal with cruiser battle groups, but it was abandoned because it was difficult to actually operate," General Gritham glanced. The alien destroyer immediately looked away: "As for these guys...Lizardmen with long carapace?"
"They are warm-blooded animals, general." The adjutant’s finger slides the panel to turn the page: "Most of the organs in the body are the same as humans, but the head, arms, and calves have abnormal changes. Defensive role, speculated that it may have encountered a harsh environment during its evolution."
"So why are they attacking us?" General Gritham stared at the alien image, his face furious.
"Since their fleets are always silent in communication, we have no way to analyze it, but the researchers put forward several hypotheses," the adjutant continued to turn the page: "One, they are ordered to guard these auras and not allow anyone to land, and two, they will attack us. It’s because we are from the other end of the damaged repeater, which has nothing to do with the halo. Third, the peculiar ecological environment on these halos is enough to prove that they are a'zoo'. These aliens are employees of the zoo and want to treat us as well. Go inside."
"Hey, is there anything more ridiculous than the third guess? As interstellar civilization, how could it be possible to catch the other party into the zoo?" Gritham sneered at the deadlock.
"Four, these rings are actually some kind of super weapon, which will destroy any intelligent life that landed, even the ones in the galaxy, so those alien fleets are all dumb." The adjutant added.
"...Well, it's true," the old general shook his head repeatedly.
"The latest analysis results show that the DNA of these organisms is left-handed, and no one of our food can provide them with nourishment," the adjutant seemed to click on something and continued: "In this case, at least they are not because they want to protect the halo. Attack us with biological resources."
"This also means that the list of goods when Star Alliance trades with them will be less than half-if there is a peace talk with them in the future." General Gritham continued to shake his head.
In the absence of a fundamental conflict of interest, no matter how fierce this encounter is, it is possible to have peace talks, but unfortunately, those "guardians of the earth" must have another chance to advocate the theory of alien threats.
"So, are we leaping towards Zhiyuan Star now?" the adjutant asked.
During the conversation between the two, the fleet had already entered the "jumping range" of the Mass Effect repeater, but because of the blue electric glow, the red electric light flashing on the wreck-like mass effect repeater still made People are a little nervous.
"I think--" Just as General Grisham said two words, he saw a large number of silver-white battleships appearing where his fleet had jumped before: "Jump! Right away, right away!"
ZhizhizhiBoom
Even though it is not possible to transmit sound in space, the skyrocketing red glow of the wreckage of the repeater and the subsequent explosion-like jumping scene still make people who see it involuntarily dub in their brains.
"The fleet that stayed behind the Zhiyuan star system should be ready for battle. I have also previewed this situation of being pursued. If they dare to be lazy and fish-" General Grisham just breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest was half. My mouth got stuck in my throat because I saw a busy galaxy.
"Damn it! Why did we jump to the Europa system?!"
