Five hundred and ninety-one Battle of Levis (middle)

In the Levis star field.

Under the command of Lin Kexin, the Dreadnought Fleet gathered together like an ancient circular spear formation, centered on the flagship Luoshen.

Speaking of which, there are still many civilizations using this formation until the fifth-level civilization.

After all, below the sixth-level civilization is still in a state where the shield is stronger than the spear, and when the civilization is promoted to the sixth-level civilization, space technology begins to rise, or after the seventh-level civilization various interstellar era big killers are developed, Shields are not as effective as they used to be.

In this case, if you bring the fleet together in a super-dense posture, it is no different from courting death.

Therefore, since the sixth-level civilization, no one has deployed fleet arrays like this.

Looking at the array of the Dreadnought Fleet on the tactical board in front of him, Thatcher's expression was indescribably weird.

What is this doing?

To say that the federal commander is too stupid, but this year, I have encountered a stupid federal commander in any battle, as if all the fleet commanders in the entire federation are elite commanders.

In such a civilization, can such a stupid commander really appear?

However, it was impossible. Thatcher shook his head and dismissed this unrealistic idea.

But if not, what is the reason?

Is it really as the members of the council said, this is not a battle fleet, and its commander is not proficient in commanding and trying to fight to the death in such a formation?

It seems... only a little bit more reasonable to speculate, otherwise, there is really no way to explain the current situation.

In short, no matter what the situation is, it is better to let the Seventh Combined Fleet test it out according to its own plan!

After making the decision, Thatcher no longer thought about it, and continued to advance according to the established tactics.

In the void, three huge combined fleets are constantly approaching Lin Kexin's position. It can be seen from the tactical images that one of the propulsion speed is much faster than the other two, and it is already close to the 2AU of the Dreadnought Fleet. The remaining two are delayed by a distance of 0.5AU.

In fact, at this distance, no matter which combined fleet it is, it is already within the striking range of the Dreadnought Fleet.

However, Lin Kexin still did not issue an attack order, but continued to let it approach.

The main weapon of the Italo United battleship is still the gravity cannon. However, unlike the Langton Empire, the Italo United gravity cannon technology has been developed to the limit, especially in terms of range, it has reached amazing. 1.5AU!

You must know that the gravity cannon is only the predecessor of space tearing, and it is not a real space-based strike method.

However, Italo United can develop this transitional gravity gun to this point, which can be said to be quite amazing.

On the side of Italo United, watching the Seventh United Fleet break into the range of 2AU, and Thatcher, who still did not respond, showed a rare look of excitement.

2AU, this indicator is too important.

You must know that in the previous year's war, the United and the Federation also fought many times in various galaxies, and according to the data of those battles, the maximum range of the Federation's warships was 2AU.

However, now, the Seventh Combined Fleet has broken into the death distance of 2AU, but the other party still did not attack.

what does that mean?

It means that the opponent's warship cannot attack so far.

Think about it, after all, it is impossible to install such a powerful weapon with only the size of a destroyer.

If this is the case, then he is absolutely sure to win this game, and he may even suppress the opponent with a range advantage in turn!

Well, again, intelligence is the premise of everything.

In the absence of information, even if you plan carefully, you may overturn!

Today, Thatcher is caught in the trap of lack of intelligence,

When he was sure he could succeed, it was also a precursor to his failure.

One minute...

two minutes...

three minutes!

"General, the Seventh Combined Fleet has penetrated to a distance of 1.5AU, and the target is already within its strike range!"

"Order them to fire at once!"

"It's the general!"

Three minutes passed, and under Lin Kexin's indulgence, the combined Seventh Fleet finally entered an exciting distance of 1.5AU.

In the year-long war, the combined fleet of Italo brought the Federation's fleet into its attack range for the first time, instead of being suppressed by the Federation at a range throughout the entire process, without any resistance.

This made Thatcher also full of excitement, and had temporarily forgotten the unease that kept rising in his heart.

In the Seventh Combined Fleet, all the warships had already completed the charging of their naval guns. After Thatcher's order was issued, they immediately released a terrifying attack!

There are ten billion warships, and the countless gravity artillery attacks directly acted on all parts of the Federation fleet array, forming gravity tides through space compression, causing uneven distribution of gravity in the target area, thus affecting all areas in the area. The object produces a tearing effect!

After seeing the attack of the gravity cannon acting on the target position without hindrance, Thatcher clenched a fist in his right hand and was extremely excited.

Such a dense gravity cannon attack, once successfully released, even the space shield will definitely be unable to resist.

Thatcher seems to have seen the dawn of victory.

"Quick, evaluate the effect of the strike!"

"Yes, General... Because the attacks are too intensive, a large-scale spatial anomaly is occurring in the target area. It is expected that it will take at least one minute to learn the specific situation!"

"It's okay, as long as..."

Thatcher was about to say something, but suddenly nothing came out.

The corner of his eyes flashed over the tactical board. The blue that represented the Seventh Fleet was constantly missing, and it had lost at least 10% in the blink of an eye!

And what does this represent?

It means that if it is not for the equipment failure, then at least 10% of the battleships of the Seventh Combined Fleet were suddenly destroyed just now!

Could it be that this strange fleet is actually a decoy, and the real Federation fleet is hiding somewhere, until this moment...suddenly hit us with a fatal blow?

"Quick, find the source of the attack and report the loss of the Seventh Combined Fleet!"

"Yes, General!"

Thatcher's eyes were fixed on the tactical board in front of him.

The blue area representing the Seventh Combined Fleet has not stopped missing because of this, and it is still decreasing at a very fast rate.

Soon... just by visual inspection, this loss has reached 20%!

"General, the attack is from..."

"from where?"

"From the target fleet that should have been eliminated by us..."
