After learning that an alien civilization was invading, the Scorpion Pirates retreated.
final...
Only more than 200 civilizations obeyed Liu Tao's order and sent over all their elites who could pilot battleships.
Plus the pirate groups under Poisonous Scorpion.
In terms of manpower, it is enough to barely support a fleet of 200,000 warships.
Coupled with the withdrawal of the front line, I can't say how many people can successfully avoid the pursuit of mechanical civilization in the end, but there should still be 10 to 20%.
In this case, at least 250,000 warships should eventually be deployed here.
Sitting on his command chair, Liu Tao calculated silently.
"Captain..."
"If you have anything to say, just say it quickly, don't hesitate."
"Yes, Commander, I just want to ask, why don't you stop those evacuated warships from approaching Totobar?"
"Stop, why stop?"
"But wouldn't this expose this place in advance, thereby attracting a concentrated offensive from that mechanical civilization?"
The deputy was stunned for a moment, then asked.
Although mechanical civilization has invaded Sid, there are only a thousand, no, there are less than a thousand battleships now.
With such a number, it would probably take at least half a year to search every part of the Sid Galaxy.
Even though you will be exposed sooner or later, there is a big difference between early exposure and late exposure.
If it takes three or four months for mechanical civilization to discover this place, then Totobar's countless battleship production lines can at least take advantage of this time to frantically build two to three hundred thousand battleships.
But if it were exposed now...
For a moment, the deputy didn't understand what Liu Tao meant.
"Are you stupid?"
"Just these battleships of the third and fourth level civilizations, 200,000, 300,000, or even one million, is there any difference?"
"To put it harshly, even if I give you hundreds of millions of warships, you won't be able to defeat these warships of mechanical civilization."
...
That seems to be the case?
That's not right. If it's useless, then why does the leader of his own group recruit people from other pirate groups to control these battleships?
"You still don't understand, do you?"
"Come on, come on!"
Liu Tao knew it when he saw the deputy's expression.
This guy still doesn't understand.
Immediately, he waved him over and spoke in a low voice.
After listening to Liu Tao's words, the deputy's eyes widened...
------
Soon, another few days passed.
The fleets of many pirate groups have arrived in the Totobar star field one after another.
In terms of quantity, there are more than 80,000 battleships in total, which is a little better than Liu Tao expected.
However, having so many 10,000 to 20,000 warships means nothing to Liu Tao.
Later, Liu Tao sent all these fleets to the Larvi star system.
Not only the fleet, but also the entire starry sky defense platform in the Totobar star field has been moved here during this period.
Nearly three hundred thousand battleships, plus countless defense platforms.
Larvi has been built into a strong line of defense.
It has the flavor of a decisive battle with mechanical civilization.
And the mechanical civilization that was chasing various pirate groups along the way also discovered this place.
Initially, there was only one Slayer battleship, but this Slayer battleship did not wait for other fleets, but launched an attack directly.
Soon, it was wiped out.
After all, there are so many defense platforms, battleships, and the Scorpion Pirates here.
If you want to kill a Slayer battleship, there is no problem.
This victory also greatly improved the morale of all the pirate fleets. They no longer despaired and began to rekindle hope.
But what they didn't know was that the Slayer warship was only conducting a fire reconnaissance to determine the combat strength of this line of defense before the main force arrived.
And based on the data it returns.
Mechanical civilization has calculated the best attack plan.
Finally, three days later...
More than 800 Slayer warships arrived here.
The two sides faced off at a distance of tens of light seconds, and the war was about to break out.
------
"Captain, the mechanical civilization has launched an offensive!"
"Entered the 50 light second range."
"All Pangu-class battleships start attacking!"
"Yes, leader!"
The next moment, 300 Pangu-class battleships fired the first shot of this battle.
Various space attacks are constantly being fired at the mechanical civilization fleet 50 light seconds away.
However, at this distance, even a space attack would take more than ten seconds from firing to hitting, and mechanical civilization would have enough time to evade it.
The hit rate of the first wave of attacks is...
zero!
But it doesn't matter, the attack continues.
40 light seconds...
30 light seconds...
20 light seconds...
When the distance reached about 20 light seconds, 1,000 Zhurong II battleships also joined the attack.
The distance is shortened, the firepower is enhanced, and targeted small-area coverage strikes are added.
finally...
Gradually, Annihilators were hit.
And as the distance continues to get closer, this hit rate will continue to increase.
time...
Minute by minute, seconds passed by.
Soon, the hundreds of thousands of Annihilators released by the mechanical civilization fleet had rushed within three light seconds.
The exchange of firepower between the two sides became more frequent.
"Captain, the fleet losses on the defense line have reached 17%."
"It's okay, are those all ready?"
"Everything is ready!"
"In that case... let's get started!"
"Yes, leader!"
Half a minute later.
All the pirate fleets were dumbfounded.
The fight is fierce, but the Scorpion Pirates...
He didn't even say hello and just ran away using hyperspace technology?
Seeing this scene, the morale of the entire pirate fleet instantly collapsed, and even many pirate groups also issued orders to flee.
only...
The jump engine had just started, and everyone realized something was wrong.
The jump was interrupted...
Can't run away at all!
However, just when the entire Pirate Alliance fleet was in chaos, both the mechanical civilization and the various pirate groups on the defense line detected that something was wrong.
A huge energy is erupting on the battlefield.
After a while, a space felt like it had been punched in a circle, and it was dented visibly to the naked eye.
And the dozens of Annihilators in this space were crushed instantly.
Within a few seconds, somewhere along the defense line, the battleship was torn into several pieces in different directions, as if it had been torn apart by five horses.
Various space disasters are constantly raging on the battlefield.
And the culprit that caused all this is none other than the weapon carried by the Poisonous Scorpion Pirate Group...
Gravity bomb!
Let the mechanical civilization pursue each pirate group, and at the same time concentrate a large number of pirate alliance forces to deploy defense lines and create a decisive battle.
Everything...
All for this moment.
------
Exactly half an hour later.
The entire area finally settled down again.
But no matter whether it is the pirate fleet or the hundreds of thousands of annihilator combat weapons of mechanical civilization, except for a few who are unlucky, none of them can escape this level.
"Captain, except for the more than 600 Slayer warships that relied on hyperspace navigation to escape, the rest have been eliminated."
"I know, there are still eight months left, and our game can officially start!"
Liu Tao nodded and said.
In two battles, although the Slayer warships killed less than a hundred ships.
But the Annihilators killed nearly 90% of them.
In other words, there are no Annihilators on most of the Slayer battleships now.
Then, these Slayer warships without any weapons naturally became Liu Tao's hunting targets.
Similarly, the other warships including the Annihilators naturally have their goal of hunting Liu Tao's Scorpion Pirates.
This game of hunting each other.
It’s time to officially start! This chapter has been completed!
