Chapter 568 Fleet from the East
But it was said that Enteng Geerhan and Prince Yangshu Qilan were playing chess. They were enjoying themselves, but they were interrupted by a sudden shout.
But I saw a guard of the prince running towards me, holding the latest information in his hands - although they are all practitioners, "trotting" is a kind of etiquette and respect for the superior.
Prince Yangshu Qilan's expression changed - but it was not nervous, but angry. Just now, he was about to completely close his body and kill Enteng Geerhan's dragon, but he was interrupted.
But the prince was the prince, and he quickly calmed down. He glanced at the information and his expression changed drastically.
First of all, the prince can be sure that the front line will never dare to report false information randomly. So this information is true! Those small countries around actually have fleets that dare to attack Yangshu State!
But then the prince came to his senses: If the surrounding small countries had the guts to attack, they wouldn't have delayed the attack until now. He glanced at the intelligence again, and immediately saw several key details:
The speed is super fast, and the frontline information is not transmitted until after the fleet attack;
The fleet's attack was powerful. One wave of attacks not only shattered the No. 2 star of the Burning Star Cluster, but also almost completely destroyed the garrison on the No. 2 star. During the entire battle, the garrison had almost no resistance;
The battleships in the fleet are overall slender and sharp, not the stubby shape of a long sword. This kind of shape has never been seen before;
The battleship's tail flame has a unique color and looks like a continuous fireball (the tail flame unique to the pulse engine), rather than the traditional tail flame;
Also, the attack methods seem unfamiliar.
These details made Yangshu Qilan's face quickly become serious: "Where did this fleet... come from? Look at it."
As he spoke, he threw the information to General Enteng Geerhan.
Then Prince Yangshu Qilan ordered the formation of a fleet to prepare for the attack. At this moment, Yangshu Qilan was a little lucky. Fortunately, because the main force of Yangshu State sneaked into the Daxia Empire, he had already asked the fleet to prepare in advance.
Otherwise it will be troublesome.
As for the No. 2 star being blown up and the defenders there being destroyed, there is no need to consider it for the time being.
But when Yangshu Qilan was ready, intelligence came again: "Your Highness, your Majesty is in trouble. Star 3 was blown up, and the fleet stationed on Star 3 was completely wiped out. This time, the opponent was detected.
There is Daluo Jinxian!"
"Daluo Jinxian!" Enteng Geerhan exclaimed, "Your Highness, something is wrong! This fleet is definitely not organized by the surrounding small countries."
But Yangshu Qilan thought of more. He said anxiously: "When Star 2 was attacked, didn't Star 3 get the information? How could the entire army be annihilated?"
The guard replied calmly: "Your Highness: According to the person who delivered the information, they just received the information and before they had time to organize the army, the attack came! The enemy's attack speed even exceeded our information transmission speed.
Specifically, when the No. 2 star was attacked, the information was spread out. But after the enemy finished attacking the No. 2 star, they arrived at the No. 3 star almost at the same time as the news."
Enteng Geerhan and Yangshu Qilan looked at each other and saw the shock in their eyes. The fleet's attack speed was actually faster than Yangshu's emergency military intelligence communication speed.
While he was in a daze, another guard came over and shouted: "Your Highness, there is news from the Eastern Defense Line that a strange fleet has appeared. It is initially observed that the fleet number is less than 100 million. However, due to the speed and distance, it is difficult to see clearly. However,
Based on experience, it is estimated to be around 70 to 80 million.
The message was sent five hours and three quarters ago."
Yangshu Qilan waved his hand and did not receive the information, but gave a wry smile: "You replied to the front line and said there is no need to report. Stars 2 and 3 have been attacked. At present, because the invading fleet is too fast, we have already
I don’t know where the other person has gone.”
Guard:......
What's going on? Why didn't I understand?
The general next to him, Enteng Geerhan, stammered a little: "Your Highness... I think since the other party did not attack Star 1, which is us, they probably don't want to complete the matter. So Star 1 is temporarily
safe.
But according to the connection between the No. 2 and No. 3 stars, the opponent's next attack target may be the No. 6 star. But I'm afraid it will be too late by the time we arrive at the No. 6 star. I think we should be on the No. 8 star.
Intercept there.
In addition, we need to summon all parties, detect the opponent's traces, and pursue and intercept them. No matter how much harm is caused to the opponent, at least we must slow down the opponent's speed and buy time."
After all, Enteng Geerhan was the commander-in-chief guarding the Burnt Chai Star Cluster, and he quickly got into the mood.
Yangshu Qilan nodded to Enteng Gerhan and said: "There is no need to ask for instructions. Now you are the supreme war commander, and I must obey the command. Go ahead and make arrangements."
"Yes." Enteng Geerhan is not arrogant. Yangshu Qilan is not only a prince, but also a great Luo Jinxian!
There is a very strange phenomenon in large-scale interstellar empires: the masters of the royal family are often not the emperors themselves, but princes and others. Emperors have many things to do, and it is difficult to practice quietly. On the contrary, princes and others, with rich resources and few things to do, can practice meditation and make breakthroughs as soon as possible.
And Yangshu Qilan is the master sent by the Yangshu Empire to guard the Burnt Chai Star Cluster. As the ancestral place of the Yangshu Kingdom and the birthplace of civilization, the importance of the Burnt Chai Star Cluster is self-evident.
The next military operation was completely arranged by Enteng Geerhan. As expected, the unknown invasion fleet was galloping all the way. By the time the army on Star 1 began to accelerate, it had already broken through Star 6. No need.
Said, it was another massacre.
According to the last message from Star 6, the invading fleet indeed moved in a straight line and headed straight for Star 8.
The Burning Star Cluster is not small, with as many as three thousand living planets; but it cannot withstand such losses. Counting the time, it is less than 22 hours before and after, less than a day, and it actually destroyed three new living stars, and
They are all relatively important planets for life!
In fact, at this moment, Enteng Geerhan is a little numb. As a commander, what you fear most is not the war of attrition, the battle of fortification, etc., but the situation like this - you know that there is an enemy, but you can't find them.
trace.
Although Enteng Gerhan vowed that the enemy would attack Star No. 8, he was not sure. Put yourself in his shoes: after attacking three targets in a row, the enemy should change the direction of attack if he has some sense.
The starry sky is vast, but considering the strong initial speed of the opponent's fleet, its attack direction should still be around the eighth star. But that is still 7 star systems!
But since there is no direction, it is better to continue to move towards the eighth star than to do nothing. In order to speed up the fleet as soon as possible, Enteng Geerhan even asked Yangshu Qilan to personally lead the masters and provide spells to the battleship.
support.
With the help of cultivation methods, the fleet quickly approached 0.3 times the speed of light. The masters returned to the battleship one after another, waiting for the start of time travel.
"No... the enemy should have a direction to attack!" After a moment of advancement, while the fleet was still accelerating, Enteng Gerhan suddenly realized that the enemy would never attack indiscriminately!
Although the origin of the enemy is not yet certain, Enteng Geerhan already has some ideas. Although this idea is a bit unbelievable, no matter what, the enemy must be attacking from a long distance.
A long-distance attack must have a clear purpose, or goal. Usually the goal and purpose overlap - to achieve a certain goal, a certain target must be destroyed.
After calming down, Enteng Gerhan began to analyze: "The enemy must have a target and will not attack randomly, otherwise we will not be able to deal with their ultra-long-range attack.
And the biggest goal should be to gain opportunities for the Great Xia Empire by attacking us and disrupting our place."
"Why for the Great Xia Empire?" Prince Yangshu Qilan asked.
"Because the only ones in the surrounding stars that dare to attack us are the Blue Star Group or allies of the Great Xia Empire. The fleet coming from the east may be the Blue Star Group's fleet!"
"Come here from the East..." Yangshu Qilan looked at the star map and narrowed his eyes, "How is it possible? The Kyushu Empire, which is the closest to the Blue Star Group in the East, is more than 7,000 light years away. Although the Blue Star Group has a
The technology for interstellar highways has not been laid yet!”
Enteng Gerhan said thoughtfully: "There are two possibilities. One is that they have set off long ago, and the other is that they have new technology! I think the second is the most likely.
The Blue Star Group is under great pressure now. It is impossible to prepare for a sneak attack on us in advance. Find an enemy for yourself. And if you attack us by surprise, you should also attack the Tianji Star Cluster where the imperial capital is located. Therefore, the opponent's attack is more like a hasty preparation.
On the other hand, Blue Star Group's technology has developed rapidly in recent years, and we have also observed that their spacecraft are in different states. Maybe it is really some kind of new technology!"
"New technology... Then when did they start? After we attacked the Great Xia Empire? If calculated this way, it would be 75 to 76 days of UTC.
It always takes time for the Daxia Empire to send a request for help signal. I heard that the Blue Star Group has compressed the communication time to more than 20,000 light years per month. So it will take at least half a month for the signal to reach the Blue Star Group headquarters.
Even if the Blue Star Group receives a call for help and dispatches, it will span more than 7,000 light years in two months... Is this possible?"
Enteng Geerhan was silent. He also felt that it was a bit impossible. Even if technology has improved, this speed is a bit outrageous. And judging from the news of temporary internal attacks, the speed of this fleet that suddenly appeared is about 1160 light years per month.
appearance.
Considering that the speed will be affected in actual wars, its actual speed should not exceed 1,600 light years per month.
However, even though they still couldn't figure it out, the fleet still flew towards Star 8, a little northerly. Enteng Gerhan believed that the opponent would definitely attack one of the two targets in the north of Star 8.
In Enteng Gerhan's deduction, the opponent will definitely set off to the north and attack the Tianji Star Cluster where the imperial capital is located. Only in this way can the entire Yangshu Kingdom be disrupted.
