In the starry sky, a fleet of Federation starships flew past at high speed, and the propulsion engines running at full speed left traces of light in the starry sky.
The fleet is headed by a heavy cruiser, followed by a light cruiser and two destroyers. This is a small but powerful fleet, and they are all high-speed models.
On the heavy patrol, a general with a resolute face stared closely at the light spot in front of the fleet on the star map in front of him, watching as the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, a starship separated from the fleeing fleet in front and flew away to the side. The general immediately sneered, "Again? You just want me to divide my forces and ambush me! Okay, as you wish!"
He made a few dots on the star map, and the light cruiser led a destroyer to pursue the light spot separated by the fleet ahead.
The general said solemnly: "If you find that you are chasing the Swan, don't fight it, just bite it, and then call me for support."
"Understood." The captain of the light cruiser replied.
The general nodded, and his eyes returned to the light spot in front, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.
At this time, the adjutant reminded: "The front has entered the N7703 galaxy, and the target is escaping to the outermost planet No. 9."
The general sneered, "There is an ambush hidden behind the planet. Is this the only way?"
The chief officer in charge of intelligence said: "There have been unidentified forces operating in this galaxy. Their base is Planet 4. It is said that they have sneak attacked our fleet once."
"Where's the battle report?"
"They are all ground battle reports. There are no fleet battle reports. There is only a brief report of an encounter."
"No battle report?" The general was startled.
The intelligence officer said: "It should be that a core member of a certain big family was defeated, so I used my connections to delete the battle report. As for the loss, part of it will be borne by the family."
The general snorted and said: "These trash can't fight, but they are quite powerful in other ways. Forget it, don't worry about it, we will just chase them."
The image of the chief officer in charge of the operation appeared on the command podium and said: "General, if the opponent is the Swan, it has been confirmed that its main gun has been modified and is no less powerful than our main gun. You must be careful."
The general said coldly: "It is a light cruiser after all. Even if it takes an extreme route to make the power of its main gun the same as ours, can its defense, battery life and shield be the same as ours? It doesn't matter if it keeps running. As long as it dares
Stop and fight, that is the meritorious service you have brought to us."
He then connected to the destroyer following behind and said: "When the war starts later, you will be responsible for containing the opponent's reinforcements. I will come to help you after I deal with the Swan."
The captain of the destroyer said: "Don't worry, General! Maybe I can also gain some military exploits."
The general nodded and said: "Although it has been confirmed that the opponent's starships above the destroyer level are not in this star area, you cannot be careless. The opponent has several destroyers that are very capable of fighting."
"If I can fight again, can I create energy out of thin air? I just have to fight with it to consume it."
The general was very approving: "Well, this is the kingly way."
At this time, the intelligence officer said: "The model of the other starship has been confirmed, and it is confirmed to be the Swan!"
The general cheered up and said: "Okay! We can't let it escape this time no matter what! Note, don't be anxious when the battle starts. Keep the main gun at 80% power output, and don't be too close. Let it be consumed slowly first.
Its energy. A light cruiser equipped with a heavy cruiser's main gun will definitely not be able to support it for long. When it cannot support its energy and runs away, we will attack with all our strength."
"It won't be long before the Ninth Fleet will have few operational starships, right?" the destroyer captain joked.
The Federation heavy cruisers and destroyers followed one after another, chasing the Swan in front, and circled to the back of Planet 9, where they saw the Swan and a strange starship parked there.
The general suppressed the excitement in his heart and repeated the order. The heavy patrol slowly approached the Swan, acting cautiously for fear of an ambush.
Inside the Swan, Lin Xi said to the image of Chu Jungui on the command platform: "It seems that there is a traitor within the fleet, and the level is not low."
"Why do you say that?"
"He obviously knew that the other starships in the fleet were not in this galaxy, so he acted cautiously and wanted to consume my energy for fear that I would run away."
Chu Jun returned: "Consuming energy is a good idea. Huh??"
Lin Xi saw the destroyer rushing towards Chu Jungui with thunderous force. After being stunned, he figured out the reason and said with a smile: "I am planning to clear out your bait, and then go back to cooperate with the general to besiege me."
Chu Jungui was silent for a moment and said, "Does he think so highly of himself?"
Lin Xixiao said, "With your size, I can't look down on you!"
Chu Jungui was startled, "My ship is 130 meters long, how dare a mere destroyer look down on me?"
"Any frigate is a lot bigger than you, right?"
"How is that the same? My ship already has 12 crew members." Chu Jungui was still unconvinced.
"Okay, okay, you are awesome." Lin Xi did not intend to get serious with Chu Jungui, and said, "How long do you need me to delay?"
Chu Jungui pondered for a moment and said: "The opponent is a starship after all. I am still a little unsure about my own cannon. You should try to delay it for more than ten minutes."
Lin Xi laughed and said, "I thought it would take an hour."
"That's too much to look at. It's just a destroyer."
"As soon as we meet, I'm going to be the bait first." Lin Xi said hello to Chu Jungui, cut off communication, and maneuvered the Swan to carefully meet the heavy patrol on the opposite side.
The federal general suddenly became energetic: "The big fish has taken the bait! Please be careful, hold back your strength, and don't scare it away. By the way, inform the kid next to you and tell him not to charge so hard.
What should I do if I scare away the little boat and the Swan as well? Cheer up and finish the show!"
The general's order was quickly split into countless specific instructions, which were reached at the speed of light in the communication channel. Then the speed of the rushing destroyer suddenly slowed down, while the heavy cruiser acted more cautiously than the Swan, and even
Keep your distance from the Swan, as if the Heavy Patrol is on the other side.
In the battlefield, only the small sea urchin-like spacecraft was extremely active, with every spike shining brightly as it pounced on the destroyer.
In terms of size, it is only half the size of the opposite destroyer. Of course, the difference in volume may not be that big, after all, it is round. However, considering the many spikes on its body surface, the actual size is not as large as it seems.
On this battlefield, the small spaceship was like a Bichon Frize that had just been weaned, howling and pounced on the wolfdog on the opposite side. The captain of the destroyer was at a loss for a moment, fearing that he would destroy his opponent by accident.
.If he scares away the Swan, he will not be able to bear the blame.
He finally made a decision: "The main gun is locked and fired! 60% power is not much at all!"
The Exploding Sea Urchin finally entered range, each of its spikes glowing.
