And Jiang Xingchen also received the latest order from the military department at this moment.
"Commander, according to the information provided by the military department, this ghost queen named Sarna should have 497 ghost battleships in her hands."
"But what we can currently grasp is only 328 of them. The remaining 169 warships should be in those star systems that we have not yet explored."
"After all, the intelligence says that Sarna's sphere of influence spans one hundred and eighty light years."
In the war room, Fu Wanting was pointing at a three-dimensional star map and said.
Present here are Jiang Xingchen, the fleet commander, and the ten squadron commanders in the first fleet.
"Commander, I have a question."
The speaker was Colonel Ron of the Second Squadron.
"Ron, tell me."
"Yes, what I want to say is that we clearly annihilated 180 ghost warships. Although it is not a lot, for Sarna, this is nearly 30% of her strength, but she did not make any move.
Isn't it strange that the fleet was not even assembled?"
Pointing to the 328 warships scattered in more than ten star systems in the star map, Ron said.
The others nodded one after another.
Obviously, they all thought this was very abnormal.
Jiang Xingchen, on the other hand, only answered with five words, leaving everyone speechless.
"You must be hungry!"
Hungry?
Well, according to the military intelligence, they haven't eaten for tens of thousands of years.
It's really time to get hungry...
So, are you planning to have a meal first and then hit us?
"According to the information from the military interrogation, these ghosts were in a state of hunger when they first woke up."
"And this hunger will make them very uncomfortable, and in serious cases they may even be in danger of losing their minds."
"Of course, being hungry is probably only part of the reason. I'm afraid the more reason is the emergence of the Zhurong-class battleship."
"You also know that in the previous battle, Ghost sent three fleets to come for support. They should all have jumped over from the surrounding star systems."
"According to my judgment, the reason why they provided support was because they thought they could capture our First Fleet. After all, at that time, there were less than thirty warships in the First Fleet that could be used for the entire battle."
"But when the Star and the two hundred Zhurong-class battleships arrive, the situation will be different, right?"
When Jiang Xingchen said this, everyone here understood.
Indeed, although the First Fleet has more than 800 battleships, in fact, the only ones that can fight at a distance of one light second are Houyi-class cruisers and Xingtian-class battleships.
This adds up to less than thirty ships.
Therefore, Sarna would think that sending two fleets to support would be enough to kill the Federation's first fleet.
But it is a pity that the three fleets were dragged into a chase battle in satellite orbit by Mu Qianshan, and they even set up an ambush and killed them in the end.
Of course, what is relied on here is not hard power, but tactical cleverness.
Under this situation, Sarna was definitely not willing to give in, so she sent a third fleet, which was still a hundred warships.
Originally, she thought this must be enough.
But what she didn't talk about was...
The arrival of the Star and two hundred Zhurong-class battleships also devoured this third batch of battleships.
Although the Zhurong-class battleship is slightly inferior to the Ghost battleship in terms of overall strength, it is not much different.
Not to mention the number of two hundred ships, there is also the Star, which is much more powerful than the Ghost Battleship.
Under such circumstances, she would naturally not continue to send out fleets to refuel like this.
After all, she's not stupid?
On the one hand, they underestimated the strength of the federal fleet.
On the other hand, the ghosts under his command have just awakened and are unable to exert their maximum combat power due to hunger.
In this case, how to choose?
Just fill your stomach first, then assemble the entire fleet before the decisive battle.
Undoubtedly, this has become the best choice.
As for the federal fleet taking the initiative to attack?
For Sarna, it's just food. It's fine if I don't go hunting. Do you still have the guts to take the initiative to fight?
So, the current situation emerged.
Even though one hundred and eighty warships were killed, it was as if nothing had happened and they continued to do whatever they were supposed to do.
Or ten battleships together, or dozens of battleships together, continue to hunt wildly in various star systems.
As for the elf's sweet pastry...
After killing that unseen fleet, we will naturally start harvesting again.
After listening to Jiang Xingchen's analysis, everyone nodded.
"Next, I will assign combat tasks!"
"The first is the temporary formation of the fleet..."
------
It is 57 light years away from the Sylvian star system.
Sakturk star system.
This is a place that the First Fleet has visited. There is a planet with natural life on it, and on the planet, there is a civilization that is very similar to human technology.
However, after tens of thousands of years, this civilization has only barely developed to the point where it can launch satellites.
In terms of population, it's not that big, about over 500 million.
Three days ago, what was originally the highlight moment of the entire civilization, the first manned spaceflight experiment was successful.
However, just when the two astronauts came out of the cabin waving small flags and the entire civilization cheered...
Disaster has struck.
Thirty ghost battleships suddenly jumped here, and then a beam of light shot over, directly taking the two astronauts into the ship.
Immediately, tens of thousands of fighter planes flew out from these battleships and headed straight into the planet.
What happened next was a repeat of what happened thousands of years ago.
Although this civilization tried its best to resist, how could it resist the fighters of a fourth-level civilization if it was only a first-level civilization?
Both air power and ground power were completely destroyed in just one hour.
After that, the Ghost Battleship flew out many small battleships used for hunting, and after entering the planet, it used light transmission technology to continuously capture people who were running for their lives or hiding everywhere.
Beams of light were shot towards the ground, and the people illuminated by the light beams were all, without exception, directly transported to the cages on the ship.
Soon, ship after ship of "food" was transported back to each mother ship.
The ghosts on the mothership began their journey after thousands of years...
First delicious meal!
three days
Of the population of more than 500 million, more than 100 million have been hunted.
The entire civilization is already different from the atmosphere three days ago.
At this moment, despair is everywhere.
At this moment, two hundred warships suddenly appeared here.
Hyperspace navigation is not a jump, and there will be no gravity waves like during a jump. Even the ghosts were not able to detect it in the first place.
The most important thing is that these ghosts are crazy about hunting and enjoying delicious food...
The shield is not activated!
Just like that, the Star suddenly appeared less than a light second away from them with two hundred battleships, not even giving them any time to react...
