Chapter 413: The sky is falling apart

After several jumps and entering the Jinguan star area, the Pegasus fleet was actively seeking the latest news from the front line.

But no news came back.

Neither the Yunluo Fleet nor the Northern Fleet could be contacted.

When the space fleet is sailing and fighting, because the ships are in high-speed motion most of the time, and even shuttle through the astral tunnels, coupled with the specifications of the astronomical tower on each ship and the level of the astropaths, They are all different, and it is normal to often be unable to contact them.

However, it was a bit scary and frightening that no ship in the two fleets could contact each other, and the two fleets could not contact each other for several days.

Not only that, when they entered the Jinguan star area and sailed forward for a short time, they unexpectedly encountered the ship of the Iron-toothed Orcs!

There should be no green-skinned people in the Jinguan Star Zone.

From the occupied area to the Jinguan star area, the core locations are at Baiwu Star and Yinguan III. To enter the Jinguan star area from the occupied area, these two star systems are the only places to pass.

These two places have not been lost yet, how can the green skin survive?

They still had some luck in their minds, thinking that it was just a marauding invasion by a small group of green-skinned troops.

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

Although the transition point is a 'point', it is on a cosmic scale. In fact, it's a huge area. The small ones are as big as several stars put together, and the big ones are even the size of hundreds or thousands of stars. As long as you are in that area, you can jump.

A fleet of fast patrol ships finally got news of the Yunluo fleet after exploring two star systems.

The largest ones are only the size of destroyers, and most of them are at the level of ordinary patrol ships.

While clearing out the small group of orc pirate fleets that had invaded the Jinguan star area, the Pegasus fleet was still persevering in trying to find ways to obtain the latest situation on the front line.

Back then, wasn't Yelicia also on the Raging Owl Star, cooperating with Gu Hang to annihilate a small greenskin fleet? Those greenskins might have just smuggled in like this, and they didn't expect to be able to attack the astrological planet. They mainly played a role in plundering, massacring, and harassing shipping routes.

The scale of the universe is so large that it can reach hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of light years. There are no astral tunnels or jumps in time and space. The time it takes to reach different star systems is so long that it can almost be regarded as impossible. things.

If you want to completely defend a star sector without allowing even a single mosquito to fly over, there is only one way: seal off the astral tunnel jump points in the galaxy.

It is possible.

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

How difficult is it to block it?

In some particularly important galaxies, such as the solar system where Holy Terra, the capital of the Human Empire, is located, multiple star forts will be set up at all transition points to ensure that all areas of the transition point are covered. The defenses of the star fort are covered to ensure that no one can sneak in.

Not only is the difficulty and cost of construction very high, long-term maintenance is also a huge expense.

Under this situation, it is normal for a small group of enemies to slip past the defense in the vast void and jump from the astral tunnel to other places.

It would be good to have a space station near the transition point, with people stationed inside for a long time, as an observation platform to monitor the operations of the transition point. Many galaxies are not even mature enough for such conditions.

New news finally came.

But in the universe, the void with nothing is the most abundant. Looking up at the night sky, the dots of stars really attract the eye, so much so that people ignore the large area of ​​darkness in the background.

A star system that large usually has one, two, or at most three or four developed colonial planets. Even if a space fortress, space station, or even a giant building is built, the area that can be covered is still limited.

The green-skinned garbage ship is still garbage. Generally speaking, under the same specifications, they cannot defeat human ships. Moreover, due to their nature, green-skinned garbage ships are generally thin-skinned and have big guns, so it is quite uncomfortable for them to hit them a few times. But on the contrary, one shot at them can often directly smash the shield ship.

The Pegasus fleet wiped out several small fleets they saw.

On the one hand, they continued to work hard to call the Northern Fleet and the Yunluo Fleet. On the other hand, they also actively dispatched patrol ship formations to the frontline battlefield, trying to figure out for themselves what was happening ahead.

But most galaxies cannot build such a huge space fortress far away from the planet.

This is extremely disastrous news: the Yunluo fleet has been defeated and is retreating to regroup. The Northern Fleet has either been completely wiped out, or it will be wiped out soon. Anyway, it is finished.

According to this new branch of the Yunluo fleet, they suffered a defeat in Yinguan III. Their initial mission was to rescue the Northern Fleet, but when they just jumped to Silver Pass III, they encountered a premeditated ambush by the Greenskin Fleet. The opponent's number of ships is about the same as theirs. If they fight normally, they should be able to win with the capabilities of the human ships.

However, for some reason, the human fleet's observation system did not warn of this ambush. There was no warning from the auspicious device, and there was no warning from the Meditator array. The squadron that jumped into Yinguan III in advance sent back all normal information, which led to the ambush.

The green-skinned ship is bad because of its structure, speed, and hull strength... everything can be bad, but its firepower is definitely not bad.

The Yunluo fleet, which had just completed its jump, received two volleys in vain.

If the fleet had not reacted quickly enough and the shield had not been propped up in time, the result would not have been defeated, but annihilated.

The Northern Fleet could not be saved, and the Yunluo Fleet itself suffered a lot. They destroyed part of the greenskin fleet and suffered losses themselves, but just when they were still thinking about whether to continue the rescue mission, they detected a greenskin fleet that was no less numerous than them and arrived again.

What else is there to say, just run away.

After running and chasing all the way, most of Yunluo's fleet still ran out, but they were scattered and needed to regroup.

As for the Northern Fleet...it can basically be declared hopeless.

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

The Northern Fleet is finished, and the next thing they have to face is the swarming greenskins. This is a pessimistic thought;

It is optimistic that the Northern Fleet can hold on for a while and continue to hold the main force of the Orcs in Silver Pass III for as long as possible.

The Yunluo Fleet also issued a corresponding request, hoping that the Tianma Fleet could continue to perform the response mission, but the target of the response was changed from the Northern Fleet to the dispersed Yunluo Fleet.

then what should we do?

The Pegasus fleet could only do so.

The Yunluo fleet still needs to be saved.

In the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region, just talking about naval power, there are actually three serious ones. The order of strength is: Yunluo Fleet, Northern Fleet, and Pegasus Fleet.

Although there is such a ranking, in fact, the strength of the three fleets is not much different. The most powerful Yunluo fleet only has three more cruisers than the Tianma fleet.

The rest are just small formations of local forces. The alliance navy is considered very strong and can be ignored. The Northern Fleet is almost gone, which basically means that the naval power of the Dragon Eagle Star Region has been reduced by one-third. The Yunluo fleet must be saved, otherwise there will only be a Pegasus fleet left, which will definitely be unable to support itself in the future.

They came to the Jinguan Star District to provide support, and that was what they were supposed to do.

However, the situation really changes every day.

Just when the main force of the Pegasus fleet let go of a small green-skin formation and prepared to pick them up according to the positions given by the Yunluo fleet and cover the Yunluo fleet's reunification, new news came again: the green-skin fleet The speed of pursuit was faster than expected.

The Yunluo fleet was forced to go to the predetermined position. They could only continue running all the way to the southwest. They were about to run out of the Golden Pass and reach the Curse Bone Star Area in the southwest.

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

You ran away, what should I do?

After receiving several small ships from the Yunluo fleet, they suddenly received the news. The Pegasus fleet had a battle with a small-scale green-skin pursuit fleet. After winning, they did not dare to pursue and expand the victory at all, and could only give up. Liuliu also retreated.

On the way back, the naval generals were all on tenterhooks.

In terms of position, they are more dangerous than Yun Luo.

However, there is good news.

The main force of the Iron-toothed Orcs did not focus on them. They still pursued the Yunluo fleet, burning the flames of war westward and southward.

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

But even so, they were still caught up when they first entered the Hippogriff Sector.

That was on Steel Wing Star.

The Steel Wing Star can be said to be the most important location of the Eagle Horse Sector in this war. It is a transportation thoroughfare extending in all directions. It goes south, leading to the hinterland of the Eagle Horse Sector, and a little further southeast, you can enter the Faches Galaxy in the Pegasus Sector. That is the core area of ​​'Qima Di'.

If you go northeast, you will reach the border with the Wuma Star Area. The future of the Wuma Star District may not be easy either. It borders the Tongguan Star District, which is also adjacent to the occupied area. But fortunately, the Tongguan Star District is not the focus of the war at the moment, and the situation is pretty good - if the latest intelligence update is correct.

Further northwest from the Steel Wing Star is the Golden Pass Star Area.

A long time ago, Steel Wing Star could almost be regarded as a strategic location. It was the focus of many surrounding star districts and had complete fortifications. It could even be regarded as a fortress world.

However, in the era when the Eastern Space Territory was unified and the Dragon Eagle Star Territory was generally peaceful, there were no enemies around the Steel Wing Star, so it gradually 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 Iron Teeth Clan, the surrounding situation became chaotic, resulting in a sharp decline in trade volume and a decline.

It was not until six years ago that the war resumed, and the role of the Steel Wing Star was taken seriously again, becoming the rear base camp for the attack on the Jinguan Star Zone, and the hub for the mobilization of supplies and soldiers.

After retreating to Steel Wing Star, Yelicia said in a military meeting:

"We can't retreat any further."

No one said anything when they heard Ye Lixia's words.

Everyone was a little confused and confused.

Tilemance didn't speak either.

Yelicia sat in the conference room of the Quintet, looked at the virtual images of her colleagues, sighed, and said: "If we retreat further, there will be no way out. Do we have to retreat all the way back to the Pegasus Star District? No. Our defense, the Hippogriff, will definitely fall. No space force can compete with the iron-toothed greenskins. By then, those greenskins will still have to chase into the Pegasus sector, and we still cannot avoid this war. "

"It's better to stay on Steel Wing Star. From here on, there will be no planet more suitable for defense than Steel Wing Star."

"Standing here, we can also ask the Eagle Horse Sector to mobilize all available forces. The Pegasus Sector will also give us full support. On the contrary, if we retreat to Pegasus, then we will only have the manpower and material resources of the Pegasus Sector available. "

Under Ye Lixia's analysis, everyone's minds were roughly settled.

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

Staying on the Steel Wing Star, there is a way to retreat.

Even if they really can't defeat the green-skinned fleet in a decisive battle in space, they can still protect themselves by hiding under the cover of the Steel Wing Star's firepower platform, armed space station, and star fort. Since the defense facilities and troops on the surface of Steel Wing Star are relatively sufficient, it will not be easy for the greenskins to take over the planet through ground attack.

Taken together, this is indeed the most suitable place for defense.

But the final question is... I asked the alliance to send people to help defend, but instead of returning to the Tianma star area to defend, you defended outside?

Leader Gu of the alliance, is he willing?

When Yelicia saw the virtual images of her colleagues, they all looked at her. She also smiled bitterly and sighed:

"I'll go tell you."

"Then let's decide." Tilemance made the final decision.

……

"No problem, I support your decision."

After hearing what Ye Lixia said, Gu Hang agreed without much thought.

Yelicia breathed a sigh of relief.

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

We all know the truth about cold lips and teeth, but why don't you warm me when I'm cold? Do I have to go and warm others?

But fortunately, Gu Hang is not such a person.

While he was thinking about it, Gu Hang went further and said: "The Alliance will not only support the war on Steel Wing Star, but I will also personally lead the troops there. Alliance Navy, Alliance Army, Phoenix Chapter, Dragon Eagle Legion 3rd Army The group, the Angry Bear Legion, will all participate in this war!
