On the Keck spacecraft, Blarney yelled the same word into the communicator anxiously. After hanging up the communication, he picked up another report and found that the progress of the project above was still lower than expected.
I couldn't help but become even more angry.
"It's been so long, and I'm still dawdling! I give you three days, and if you can't catch up, you can commit suicide by jumping into space!"
An anxious atmosphere enveloped the dwarf planet, every spacecraft next to it, and the hearts of every intelligent being in the Cadira civilization.
The situation really couldn't help Blarney not to worry.
It will take almost 10 years for our side to complete the task of stockpiling supplies. However, the good luck that has always favored civilization seems to have finally been exhausted before.
The remote observation team, which has been paying close attention to the direction of the star, not long ago reported extremely bad news to Blarney.
They observed the flash of light emitted by the spacecraft's thruster. The direction was exactly aimed at their own planet. In up to half a year, the spacecraft will arrive.
The idea of engaging that spaceship was rejected by Blarney without hesitation. Although we still have ten warships at the moment, even though the remote observation team has made it clear that the enemy only has one spacecraft.
Because once there is a fight, regardless of victory or defeat, it means the demise of one's own civilization.
The logic is very simple. If you fail, your civilization will naturally perish. But even if you win, destroying the spaceship will inevitably alarm the behemoth and make it focus on itself. Then, the civilization in its heyday will inevitably
Send a fleet to pursue.
Blaney did not believe that the acceleration capabilities and resource reserves of his own spacecraft could enable his fleet to escape pursuit.
So, at this moment, before the spacecraft has discovered us, quickly escape and eliminate the traces on this dwarf planet, it becomes the only way for civilization to survive.
That's why Blarney is so anxious.
But……
The good luck seemed to have really run out. Bad luck began to come one after another.
"The ruling and observation team has confirmed that the spacecraft of the 'Geduo' civilization has increased its propulsion power and is accelerating towards the planet. Comprehensive analysis shows that they have a high probability of discovering our existence..."
In the culture of Kadira, the word "Gado" means prosperity and strength. Within the civilization, people gave this code name to the powerful civilization that occupied the essence of the entire galaxy and was in its heyday.
After this report, Blarney's heart tightened and his expression instantly turned pale.
The spaceship of the Gedo civilization discovered itself. They must have sent the news back to the civilization. The follow-up support force must have set sail.
"Don't worry about resource reserves anymore. Run away. Run away now. Run away now..."
All four of Zhifu's eyes were filled with tears.
He knows what this means.
At this moment, the resource reserve is less than half completed. If we forcefully escape at this moment, even if we are lucky and the Gedo civilization does not pursue us, our fleet will lose at least three-quarters of its spaceships and population during the long interstellar voyage.
.If you have a little bit of bad luck, such as encountering some bad space weather or disaster, or having a major malfunction in the spacecraft, it is even more likely that the entire army will be annihilated and disappear in the universe.
But there is really no other way. If you run away now, there is still a little hope. If you don't run away, there will be no hope at all.
"Yes Yes!"
The factory that had been built with so much painstaking efforts was directly destroyed. Countless unnecessary vehicles were destroyed in the explosion. With tears in people's eyes, they returned to the still dilapidated immigration spacecraft.
"Set off!"
Blarney screamed out these two words that were as important as a thousand words.
Bright tail flames erupted from the tail of the spacecraft, pushing the still hungry civilization to escape in a hurry.
Among the ocean patrol ships, the captain looked at the latest report and thought slowly.
For a civilization in its heyday, interstellar pirates would not exist at all. That kind of thing would only appear in the decline of civilization, when internal order is chaotic and government control is seriously reduced.
He could confirm that the people making the noise on that remote dwarf planet were definitely not humans.
Then, it can only be an alien civilization. Among them, he is more inclined to think that it is the remaining survivor of the storm civilization.
After all, it was a civilization that had once been glorious. When it collapsed, it was understandable and reasonable that a small number of people fled into the depths of space.
"Through the observation of the thruster flash, is it confirmed that the target has only a few dozen large spaceships? Among them, the number of combat spaceships should not exceed ten. They seem to be escaping in a hurry..."
He finally made a decision.
"Catch up with them first, capture them, and then wait for further support."
He was very aware of the desire of his soldiers to fight, and even he himself was extremely eager to fight. But he still made a reasonable choice based on his status as a captain.
Time passed slowly. The probe launched in advance by this ocean patrol ship arrived at the dwarf planet early and confirmed that there were indeed traces of large-scale intelligent life activities on the dwarf planet, and that those traces had been destroyed at this time.
After confirming that there were no high-value targets here, the patrol ship did not stop here. Instead, it chased directly in the direction of the escaping fleet. After several months, it finally caught up to a place less than 10 million kilometers away from the enemy.
At this moment, the command from the core of civilization has crossed a long space and time and arrived at the patrol ship. Its content is also unexpected. It is indeed ordering the patrol ship to keep an eye on the target, report the coordinates at all times, and wait for the follow-up.
Fleet support.
Due to communication delays, the support fleet may have already set off when the order is received.
…
On the "Keck" spacecraft, Blarney was filled with despair.
Remote observation confirmed that the spacecraft was currently about 10 million kilometers behind our own fleet. It neither accelerated nor decelerated, and always maintained a roughly fixed distance from our own fleet. He knew very well what this meant.
The follow-up support fleet of the Gedo Civilization should arrive soon. Once the support fleet arrives, our side will have no chance.
The chief minister stood in front of Blarney, the ruler, with a tragic look.
"Consultation, let me lead the combat spaceship to stop that spaceship."
Blaney subconsciously refused: "It's useless. Even if we destroy it, we won't be able to escape the subsequent large-scale manhunt."
"This is the only and last chance!" The assistant's voice seemed to be shouting: "Kill it and we can buy a few months!"
Kill that spaceship and hide the fleet during these few months before the follow-up support fleet arrives, betting that the follow-up support fleet cannot find you - this probability is extremely low, but it is indeed the last
opportunity!
The tears in Blarney's eyes finally flowed out: "Okay, go, go..."
In the midst of the tragedy, the last fighting force of civilization, led by one of the leaders of civilization, Zhifu, took the initiative to separate from the main body of civilization and deliberately slowed down its speed.
When this information was captured by the ocean patrol ship, the captain was filled with excitement and disbelief.
Our mission is to follow them, and we are strictly prohibited from attacking without orders. But now, it seems that the target is going to attack our side. In this case, isn't our counterattack justifiable?
God knows how difficult it is for me to suppress the aggressive desire of those strong warriors under my command!
They were so suffocated that their eyes were almost red, and they just wanted to have a fight!
Sure enough, when he announced the news to the soldiers, the entire long-distance patrol ship was enveloped in cheers.
"beat!"
"Beat them so hard that they won't even recognize their mother!"
This day came soon. Under the solemn and solemn orders of the commander, the only ten combat ships formed a battle formation and launched the fiercest attack possible against the ship that looked very powerful at first sight.
But all this, in the eyes of human warriors, is a bit...ridiculous.
At this moment, Wang Qi was full of doubts.
"An electromagnetic gun with a speed of less than 3,000 kilometers per second? Is this looking down on our laser interception network?"
The comrades next to him were also puzzled.
"This electromagnetic gun projectile seems to be solid. Is there no antimatter inside?"
"Why don't they fire a vacuum cannon? From a tactical perspective, the enemy battleship No. 7 should fire a vacuum cannon to force us to maneuver to the left..."
"Ouch! What is this? A missile? It's too slow. What? It didn't explode? There's no antimatter in the missile. How stingy is this!"
"Where are the landmines? If there are no landmines, what would we do?"
The soldiers responsible for clearing mines roared with dissatisfaction.
"Where are the spy satellites? We don't even have satellites, so why bother trying?!"
The soldiers in charge of intelligence operations also roared.
It didn't feel like a war at all, more like children playing house.
This was obviously far from the battle that the soldiers expected. For a moment, the spacecraft was filled with sighs of disappointment.
Only the captain still looked solemn.
Not despising any enemy is a principle that every commander must keep in mind.
Although the enemy appeared extremely weak, he still decided to use some newly developed weapons in recent decades to deal with the enemy.
"Release the nano clouds! Release the electromagnetic bombs! Prepare the micro missiles! Destroy them with laser cannons!"
A series of orders were issued. Soon after, the ten enemy combat spacecraft in front of them lost all movement.
Among the flagships, the leaders of the Cadilla civilization looked ashen.
The enemy is stronger than you imagine.
Under the enemy's unheard-of and unseen super-weapons, the battle was over as soon as it began.
