Just when Jiang Xingchen launched the final battle of annihilation against Miles.
1,480 light-years away, Kyle, who received Guren's order, was commanding the fleet to begin its retreat.
However, now that they have received the news from Jiang Xingchen, they will not be able to withdraw so easily.
"Commander, the Scorpion Star Thieves are catching up. They are currently about 30 light seconds in front of our fleet!"
"Huh? What are they doing after them?"
After hearing the report, Kyle was stunned for a moment.
After all, he still has more than 11,000 warships in his hands, while the Scorpion Star Bandits only have fifty.
Since he has evacuated, there seems to be no need for them to continue to entangle, right?
"Report, the Scorpion Star Bandits have left again!"
"Leave? Leap to leave?"
"No, the gravity field of the transition behavior was not detected, it just disappeared suddenly. Speaking of which, when they appeared before, we also did not detect the gravity field."
Transition behavior without the birth of a gravity field...
Why does it feel so familiar to me?
After listening to the report, Kyle felt a murmur in his heart.
And a few seconds later...
He suddenly remembered his most miserable days ten years ago.
And the opponent who made him grit his teeth.
Humans!
That's right, humans had mastered a brand new super-light speed technology.
This technology does not rely on a gravity field and can be used continuously, unlike the jump engine, which takes a period of time after each use for engine cooling, radiation removal, and recharging.
The Scorpion Star Thieves just appeared without warning, and then disappeared immediately.
Isn't this exactly the same as the jump technology used by humans ten years ago?
If you think about it from this perspective, then isn't this Scorpion Star Bandit...
No wonder, the actions of the Poisonous Star Thieves are so weird. They could have escaped long ago, but they always allowed us to catch up.
No wonder, after the main fleet pursued the Scorpion Star Thieves for thousands of light years, humans raided the Osten Star Territory.
No wonder...
There are so many things that I don’t understand, but here, Kyle has figured them all out.
This poisonous scorpion bandit group was originally created by humans!
"Unless they come within our range and cannot ignore them, we will retreat directly as planned!"
"Yes, Commander!"
As long as I ignore any of your actions, it will be impossible to fall into the trap.
This is Kyle's response.
However, he still ignored one thing, and that was...
Ten years ago, another technology possessed by mankind.
Jump interference technology!
A few minutes later, when the fleet is ready, the next jump can be made.
A problem arises!
"Commander, we have encountered jump interference, and the jump engine cannot start normally!"
"Search the area where the Poisonous Star Bandits appeared just now and look for the suspected target. The scope of the jump interference cannot be too large. As long as it is found and destroyed, the current predicament can be solved."
Knowing the current situation, Kyle still didn't understand that this was caused by human beings using jump interference.
How could I have forgotten that humans still have this ability?
However, the problem is not big.
Because he knew that this jump interference device must be deployed at the place where the Scorpion Star Bandits appeared just now.
As long as you find it and destroy it, you will have a way to solve this situation.
"Found it!"
"Send a fleet out and destroy it!"
"clear!"
"At the same time, let the remaining fleets be divided according to their respective formations and advance to different lines of defense to completely widen the distance between them!"
"Yes, Commander!"
------
At the same time, the Tenth Fleet, the Zhurong-class battleship group, disguised as the Scorpion Star Pirates Group.
"Report, the Kerry Empire has sent a fleet and is heading to the deployment point of our jump jamming device. At the same time, the remaining 10,000 warships are also divided into ten fleets and heading in different directions."
"It doesn't make sense..."
After hearing the report, Mu Qianshan frowned.
After more than half a month of fighting, the impression that Commander Kerry Empire had on him was just two words...
madness!
However, their behavior now has nothing to do with these two words.
It can even be said that it is very clever.
It seems like a simple division of troops, but in fact, this is the best way to deal with jump interference.
As long as the eleven fleets are separated by more than fifty light seconds from each other and destroy the jump jamming devices they deployed every time, then...
The delaying operation that I had planned was completely scrapped.
Originally, one jump jamming device could delay the opponent for several hours, and there were more than thirty devices in his own fleet, enough to hold them back for several days.
But according to the current behavior of the imperial fleet, if you want to continue to use this method to hold it back in the future, you will have to use eleven jump jamming devices at a time.
In other words, if you use up all the jump interference devices in the fleet, you can probably delay the opponent for about ten hours.
Then, take advantage of the opponent's division of troops and defeat them one by one again?
Don't be kidding, I only have fifty battleships, and although the other party has divided its forces, there are at least a thousand battleships in each fleet.
With a force difference of twenty times, it is impossible to confront them head-on.
Even if he had just lost one of the fleets, he would never be able to fight against the remaining ten.
opposite...
Could it be that the commander has been replaced?
Involuntarily, such an idea flashed through Mu Qianshan's mind.
"Dude, what do we do now?"
On the side, Liu Tao, who also saw the problem, couldn't help but ask.
"There is nothing we can do. The method of dividing the troops and retreating used by the other side really hit our Achilles' heel."
"In the final analysis, I still have too few troops. If there are hundreds of Zhurong-class warships, then I will definitely defeat them one by one."
"Follow them first. If they want to go to Allston, it will take at least ten days. We can slowly look for opportunities along the way!"
Mu Qianshan shook his head, then sighed slightly and said.
A few hours later.
Kyle first destroyed the jump jamming device.
At the same time, the fleet was completely divided into eleven groups according to their respective organizations, and the distance between them was tens of light seconds.
Immediately, one after another began to jump.
------
The situation at Mu Qianshan's place was quickly reported to Jiang Xingchen.
"Commander, Brigadier General Mu Qianshan may not be able to delay the situation. What should we do?"
"Actually, this matter is easy to handle..."
After pondering for a while, Jiang Xingchen said.
Easy to handle?
In Fu Wanting's opinion, this is completely difficult to handle!
"Baizhi, give me Duan Xingke!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Soon, the communication was connected, and the figure of the commander of the First Squadron, Duan Xingke, was slowly projected out.
"brigadier!"
"Xingji, I plan to leave Auston's mission to you to continue the execution. It will take a longer time, even if it is a month, it doesn't matter."
Hearing this, Duan Xing was stunned instantly.
Will Alston leave the battle to himself?
And it would be okay even if the time is extended to a month?
Doesn't it mean that the main force of the Kerry Empire is rushing over at this moment, and it will only take half a month at most?
"Commodore, what about the main fleet of the Kerry Empire that is returning?"
"Since there's no way to delay it, let's get rid of it!"
"Brigadier General, you mean to personally..."
Duan Xingke said as if he realized something.
"That's right, now I'm giving the latest order!"
"Yes, Brigadier!"
"The 1st to 5th squadrons will stay and continue to carry out Operation Auston, under the full command of Duan Xingke. The 6th to 10th squadrons will be personally commanded by me to intercept and kill the main fleet of the Kairui Empire on its way back!"
"Yes, Brigadier!"
Duan Xingke's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, just as he had guessed, the commander was preparing to directly kill the tens of thousands of warships in the Kerry Empire.
And myself...
He actually became the temporary commander of the Allston operation.
This is an unexpected surprise.
After all, as long as I have command experience in this large-scale battle.
That is equivalent to being promoted to commodore in the future and truly becoming the commander of a fleet...
