Chapter 1685: Last Stand

Under Victor's order, the assassination of Qin Hao became the first goal of this battle, and this goal coincided with the war goal set by Baturuka at the beginning!

Immediately, Baturuka slightly modified his strategic deployment, and re-completed the fleet deployment for this battle.

On the third day after the Borg fleet arrived in Saturn's orbit, the Borg fleet began to move, and they slowly approached the defense line of the Interstellar Federation Fleet in Saturn's orbit.

"Commander! The Borgs are attacking!" The radar soldier in charge of monitoring the movements of the Borg fleet immediately reported.

"Pull the battle alert! Notify all combatants to enter the first-level combat readiness!" Hu Ke ordered, and at the same time his hands trembled slightly because of nervousness.

Although Hu Ke's face is calm at this time, but the pressure in his heart is extremely great. At this time, he shoulders the fate of the entire mankind. If this battle fails, then the last line of defense of mankind will be defeated, and the Borg fleet will be destroyed. Drive straight in, and the earth will be destroyed in an instant!

"Soldiers of the whole army! I am your commander, Admiral Hu Ke!" Through the fleet broadcast, Hu Ke initiated the pre-war mobilization.

"Soldiers, look behind you, that is the earth, our mother planet, the cradle of human beings, and also the administrative center of human beings!" Hu Ke paused here, and then continued: "I'm looking at you In front of him, there was a huge fleet of Borgs, they came with hostility and wanted to destroy our mother planet and our civilization, and we! We are the last line of defense to protect the mother planet!"

"Today is a day that is destined to be recorded in the annals of history, but whether we are honored or shamed depends entirely on this battle!"

"Behind us are our compatriots, our family members, our parents and children! Once we are defeated, they will be completely exposed to the enemy's artillery fire!"

"So, my men! My brothers! My sisters! There is no turning back!"

"In today's battle, I can no longer assure you as before that I will bring you home alive, because I don't even know if I can survive! Even behind us, Generalissimo Qin Hao personally arrived On the front line, he will be with us, defending the dignity of people on earth with his life!"

"Although we may die in battle today, if we win, our family, our parents, and our children will win the right to survive!"

"The war between civilizations is cruel. I don't think I need to explain this point in detail. Today we don't talk about good and evil, we only talk about survival! Only the winner,

To be eligible to survive! "

"Finally, I have only one sentence for everyone! As a soldier, it's fortunate to be shrouded in horse leather!"

Hu Ke's speech was not long. He was born in the army, not a literati, let alone a politician who is good at instigating people's hearts, so he couldn't say too many impassioned statements. He could only speak out what was in his heart. It is precisely because these words come from the heart that they can infect these frontline soldiers even more.

After experiencing the previous battle with the Borg, all the soldiers of the Star Federation realized the cruelty of war. Before the war to wipe out other civilizations, the Star Federation almost swept the past with a crushing attitude, so their Casualties were extremely limited.

But when facing the Borg who were evenly matched and even stronger than the Star Federation, the casualties of the Star Federation fleet were in the millions, so every officer and soldier knew that today was a life-or-death battle.

But just as Hu Ke said, although they may die in battle today, they can protect their families and children.

Death is frightening. Any intelligent creature is afraid of death, but some things are more terrifying than death, such as family members and children being hurt by enemies!

So in order to avoid more terrible things from happening, although the sailors of the Interstellar Federation are still afraid of death, they can face death directly!

"die on the battlefield!"

...

Inspired by Hu Ke, deafening roars sounded in all the ships. These roars were not only to cheer themselves up, but also to show the determination of the soldiers to fight to the death!

"Commander! The enemy will enter the range of the super weapon in twenty-three minutes!"

"Commander! The enemy will enter the range of the first-level main gun in thirty-five minutes!"

...

The radar men quickly calculated how long it would take the Borg to get within range of fire.

"En!" Hu Ke nodded. He forced himself to calm down. Although he was equally nervous in his heart, Hu Ke knew that he should not panic. If he, the commander, panicked, the soldiers below would be even more uneasy!

"Commander! Video communication from the Generalissimo!" The communication officer suddenly reported loudly.

"Come in!" Hu Ke said immediately.

"Yes!" The communication soldier immediately connected Qin Hao's communication.

"Generalissimo!" Hu Ke immediately saluted.

"The enemy is coming up soon. My swarm can be dispatched at any time. You are the commander in this battle. I will obey your orders!" Qin Hao said to Hu Ke.

"Yes! Generalissimo!" Hu Ke nodded, and then gave Qin Hao his order: "Generalissimo, I need the swarm to be on standby on the left wing. After my order is issued, I need them to arrive within fifteen minutes. Area D, and it is guaranteed to enter the attack state at any time!"

"Yes! Commander!" Qin Hao nodded, and then sent the order to the ghost Leviathan through psionic energy.

"As you wish!" The ghost Leviathan immediately controlled the swarm to fly towards the designated place.

Because the distance is still very far, the Borg and the Interstellar Federation cannot observe each other with only optical equipment, and the swarm is the result of life forms, so the shipboard radar cannot scan their traces.

So Qin Hao's swarms arrived at the target location silently. Although the swarm's scale was exaggerated, they were still very inconspicuous in the vast starry sky.

"First! Second! Fourth! Seventh! The Ninth Fleet enters the attack position!"

"Third! Fifth! The Sixth Fleet is ready for cover!"

Hu Ke's order was issued in an orderly manner. Under Hu Ke's command, the Star Federation's fleet quickly changed its formation. They relied on orbital defense weapons to quickly change their formation, waiting for the Borg to come by themselves!

"Commander! The enemy is expected to enter the range of the super weapon in thirty seconds!"

"Order the two glorious main battleships of the Twelfth Fleet to prepare for the light of purification!"

"Order the two Vaknos Destroyer-class capital ships of the Seventh Fleet to prepare for phase missile rain!"

Under Hu Ke's order, the four capital ships of the Interstellar Federation began to recharge the super weapon system, and the battle was about to start...
