In Cleveland, a large area of open space that is prohibited from driving has been reserved for a long time.
With the birth of a large number of gravity waves, a total of twelve thousand battleships appeared here.
See this scene.
Archon Hodi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As one of the few insiders, he naturally knows what is happening in Alston today.
Once the war there spreads here, Cleveland, the trading pearl of the empire, will be destroyed.
Therefore, he also hopes that these warships can arrive safely as soon as possible, and after the fleet is refitted, the enemy can be eliminated as soon as possible.
Now, the battleship has arrived, and the whole plan has finally gone awry.
But no one noticed that a cargo ship that had arrived outside the star system had stayed outside and hadn't moved for several hours.
And the news of the arrival of this huge fleet has already been learned by humans.
------
"Let the soldiers guarding the fleet start changing ships as planned."
"Yes, Archon!"
"Where is Supreme Commander Caitlan?"
"The last communication was conducted three minutes ago and will arrive in seven minutes!"
"knew."
Hody nodded and said.
Currently, there are only three supreme commanders left in the entire empire.
One of them is guarding the entrance to the first main spiral arm.
The remaining two are Caitlan and DeWitt.
Devitt was still on his way back to the imperial capital, so for this new fleet, Guren had to send out the last supreme commander.
Soon, the entire airspace became busy, with dozens of millions of shuttle ships shuttling back and forth, transporting the crew members of the guard fleet to these new warships that had just arrived.
"Consul, it is expected that the change of clothes will be fully completed in 37 minutes."
"At the same time, we have just received a report that Commander Caitlan's Otisco has begun its jump and will arrive in 142 seconds."
Hearing this, Hody also nodded.
Everything went extremely smoothly and there is no better news than this.
However, the next moment...
"Report, a large number of ship silhouettes suddenly appeared, number 1147, location..."
"The location is right next to the new battleship group, less than 0.1 light seconds!"
"Confirmed, it's a human fleet!"
"No, they launched an attack!"
Suddenly, the entire command room flashed red and the alarm sounded loudly.
Hody was completely stunned.
How did humans discover it?
And the time and place were so accurate!
It is obvious that it has been keeping an eye on the eighteen light-years area outside the star system around the clock.
Why?
"Quick, stop the counterattack!"
"No, Archon, all the crew members on the guard battleship have left the ship at this moment and are on their way to those new battleships on the shuttle ship!"
"Damn it, the starry sky defense system hasn't been activated yet?"
"this..."
"What's wrong, tell me quickly!"
"The position of the human fleet is right between the new fleet and the guard fleet. Now our more than 20,000 warships have just become their shield. The starry sky defense system cannot attack the human fleet at all..."
boom...
Like a bolt from the blue, it instantly exploded in Hody's mind.
------
At the same time, the Star!
"Put all the mecha troops out and kill those shuttle ships. Don't let any of them escape!"
"Yes, Commander."
Speaking of which, the soldiers in the guard fleet were really miserable.
They had just taken off from the battleships on the shuttle ship, but before they had flown far, a human fleet appeared in front of them.
What is a shuttle ship?
To put it nicely, this is a shuttle ship.
It sounds harsh, but this is just a transportation ship.
It is slow, has almost no maneuverability, and has no weapons or shields.
In front of the group of human mechas, they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
What's even more tragic is that now, whether it's the guard fleet or the new fleet, there are no people on it...
Therefore, both fleets were like targets, staying there without fighting back.
Of course, Jiang Xingchen had little interest in the guard fleet and did not want to pay attention to it. He concentrated all his firepower on the empire's new fleet.
As for the hundreds of thousands of shuttle ships, they were handed over to the mecha group.
"Quick, turn around!"
"Avoid, avoid, no..."
"Damn it, if you can't escape, then hit us!"
"What about the defense system? Why hasn't the starry sky defense system started yet?"
"No more fighting, surrender, we surrender, hurry up and fire the surrender signal!"
There was chaos in the combat channel.
In just over a minute, everyone collapsed.
Even if there are some stubborn people among them, they want to directly use the shuttle ship to ram the mecha.
But in terms of the maneuverability of the shuttle ship, is it too much to think about hitting the mecha?
Anyone who plans this way has never succeeded.
In fact, as long as they can fight back, their morale will not collapse so quickly.
But the problem is, I can’t do it yet!
Like a target, waiting to be slaughtered by humans, can it not collapse?
------
Just when the federal fleet was killing like crazy.
Not far from the battlefield, an imperial mothership arrived here via jump.
This is the car of Supreme Commander Caitlan.
Originally, he came here to take over the new fleet that had been refitted, and then entered Oston to encircle and suppress humans.
But when he got here, he was dumbfounded.
Two or three minutes ago, before he made his final jump, he contacted Cleveland.
At that time, Hodi said everything went well.
But what the hell is this scene of humans slaughtering the Imperial fleet in front of us now?
Although he was confused, after all, he was not a waste like DeWitt. He quickly realized that it was humans who discovered the empire's plan and launched a raid.
Judging from the current situation, both the guard fleet and the new fleet are definitely in trouble.
And myself...
If you can't escape, you will also die here.
"Start the sublight speed engine, maximum combat speed, stay away from the battlefield!"
"As soon as the jump engine is fully charged, we will leave immediately!"
Without hesitation, Kaitlan stood up in a flash, waved his right hand, and shouted an order.
"Yes, Commander!"
The next moment, the engine is started, and it immediately accelerates to maximum power.
However, how could Jiang Xingchen not notice the appearance of a mothership?
After a while, he discovered it.
In the human fleet, about a hundred battleships began to turn, and then...
towards himself.
"All weapon systems are offline and energy supply is concentrated into the shield generator!"
"Yes, Commander... all weapon systems have been offline..."
boom...
Before he finished speaking, the attack had already arrived.
The entire battleship shook wildly, and many people on the bridge were even thrown out, and then hit the bulkhead or some consoles.
"Report, it was hit by 17 attacks, and the shield remains at 21%."
"It's over..."
After hearing the report, Caitlan's face turned pale.
If you want to use the sublight engine to take out the opponent's shooting range, it will take at least ten minutes.
The battleships can only attack three to five times one after another at most.
He still doesn't understand that the one who escaped might be...
Infinitely close to zero!
More than ten seconds later, as another round of fire came, the huge mothership instantly turned into a fireball.
The supreme commander of the majestic empire died an extremely miserable death.
It can be said that in the entire history of the empire, no supreme commander died in a more outrageous way than him.
