During the next eighteen days of the journey, the fleet encountered another seventeen waves of alien forests.
Three of the waves are not only large in number, but also surrounded by other alien races, making it really unsuitable to start a war.
It's not that they can't be defeated, but once a fight breaks out, if they can't all be wiped out, it will cause even greater trouble.
But if they don't fight, if they can't stand it, the other party will chase them, right?
It took them four days just to get rid of these forest seas.
Some soldiers in the military couldn't bear it and actively requested a fight - we have so many warships, how can we let them chase us?
However, this application was rejected by the university: Even the Digital Phantoms decided not to apply, do you think you are better than them?
Or do you think that with our few warships, we can dominate the foreign races?
The colonel suppressed this emotion, but the fragments of Xiaohu were all over the entire fleet, so how could he not know about it?
After Qu Jianlei heard about it, he just nodded, "It's a good thing that the military morale can be used."
He never minded soldiers being warlike. What does it mean to be a arrogant and strong general? Those who can fight are never the kind of people who only obey.
As long as you can obey orders, you are a good soldier and you have your own ideas. Isn't this normal?
After fourteen battles, nearly 4,000 small ships were lost, nearly a hundred company-class ships were lost, and there were even two battalion-class ships.
The losses mentioned here are those who are completely unable to fight again, and those who are injured are not included.
In small ships alone, their losses had exceeded one-tenth, and this was just the cost of rushing.
But Qu Jianlei didn't feel distressed. They had killed more than 16,000 alien trees!
The Linhai that originally besieged Baozhixing only had a few hundred thousand trees.
Based on the current record, if he destroys all the small ships, he can basically clear half of Baozhi Star.
It's a pity that they almost emptied the war reserve of Kochi Planet to get so many small ships.
Therefore, the alliance did not save Bao Zhixing, although the reason for the unknown enemy situation was that it really could not afford to fight.
For those in high positions, it is important to just throw away the unimportant things and preserve their strength!
From a military perspective, we rely on our own depth to tire and defeat the enemy.
It's a pity that this enemy is not generally ferocious. There is no grass growing wherever he passes, and there are endless backups...
But this is all beside the point. For Qu Jianlei, the most important thing is that his battleship did not suffer much loss.
In future large-scale battles, there will not be many places where small ships can use their weapons, and it still depends on the battleships.
On the nineteenth day, they finally approached the space fluctuation point.
When it was 40 to 50 million kilometers away, Xiao Hu sensed strong spatial fluctuations and said, "We are almost there."
But after traveling more than five million kilometers, a large forest sea appeared ahead.
Densely dense... well, this word is overused, but there are almost 1,780 trees, and it looks absolutely stunning.
The scale of the alien forest that Qu Jianlei had encountered was enough to rank among the top ten.
The key is that the top ten are basically guarding the mother tree of Sihai Star.
There are forests of this size in space, and this one ranks among the top three!
He asked silently, "Can I go around it?"
"No," the big-headed butterfly turned in a circle, "there are similar forests around it, forming a protective circle."
After breaking through this protective circle, there are almost no aliens inside, and you can face the huge forest sea inside.
Xiao Hu's clone and Yin Shan smashed around for ten days, releasing countless monitors.
However, aliens are also particularly sensitive to monitors, and very few of them can get in.
In the end, they didn't gain much, but they were able to roughly determine that the number of alien forests inside should be between three and four thousand.
Qu Jianlei also learned about the situation from Yinshan, and now he just asked unwillingly, "Is there no new monitoring feedback?"
The big-headed butterfly turned around and said, "Not yet, let's wait another day."
Facts proved that there was no need to wait another day, and Qu Jianlei had to make combat arrangements.
This large forest of foreign races in front of us cannot be attacked by force, but can only be outmaneuvered.
Lin Hai is adjacent to the surrounding area of this protection circle. If the war is going on together and the time is a little longer, the surrounding area will definitely be discovered.
If you want to destroy the enemy quickly, you must use outflanking tactics.
In the previous fourteen battles, they had often used this tactic - who said the aliens could not move as fast as starships?
Therefore, they and the army cooperated quite well with this tactic.
But it cannot be used now. If we really want to outflank it, we will be discovered by the surrounding alien races before the battle begins.
They don't even dare to dive directly into the small lake, which already speaks volumes.
So Qu Jianlei’s decision was to... lure the enemy!
He dispatched one battalion-level ship and three company-level ships, as well as the corresponding standard small ship configuration, all of the alliance standard.
It’s not that the Alliance should take the blame, the point is that the Alliance has fought too many times with foreign races, so there must be some related memories of hatred, right?
A company-level ship took the lead, followed by a battalion-level ship, and there were two company-level ships guarding the surrounding area, rushing straight towards the alien race.
When they were two million kilometers away, the alien Lin Hai discovered them and became a little restless.
??????55.??????
Then more than a hundred trees came up to greet them - this is not to underestimate the human starship, such a scale is already considered a serious matter.
However, the battalion-level ships were not polite here, and directly stepped forward to engage in the battle, and also released small ships to defend the flanks.
Yes, small ships are only auxiliary combat forces, not the main combat forces.
But even so, the eighteen small ships still destroyed twelve trees.
The battleship even blew up more than 80 trees, but its own battalion-level ship and two company-level ships were also seriously damaged.
Only one company-class ship was slightly damaged, and fifteen small ships were damaged.
This battle loss ratio is much worse than the previous battles, mainly because...the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered.
In previous battles, Qu Jianlei and the others had used the majority to dominate the minority, so that they could have a relatively good battle-loss ratio.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the company-class ship grabbed all the starships and fled quickly - one by one.
The foreign Lin Hai in the rear has sent reinforcements, and the remaining twenty or so trees are hot on their heels.
At the critical moment, nine more small ships flew out from the battalion-level ship, directly annihilating the more than 20 trees.
This is when Qu Jianlei and the others set up a teleportation array on the battalion-level ship, and sent Qinghu and Tianyin to guard it.
The trees behind saw that the first wave of attacking teams in front of them were wiped out, and they couldn't bear it anymore.
There are more than 300 trees in pursuit, which is supposed to be enough to destroy the enemies in front.
They don't fly very fast, but the enemy in front only has one capital ship that can still be used, and their speed can't increase.
However, the next moment, nine attack ships flew out from the battalion-level ship again and attacked fiercely.
This wave of attacks took away eight more trees and lost four small ships.
Lin Hai from behind continued to chase, and then they were surprised to find that the other party... actually had an ambush!
Three more battalion-level ships and nine company-level ships flew in from deep space.
According to the previous battle loss ratio, this wave of enemy reinforcements can basically eat up their reinforcements.
At this point in the battle, Lin Hai at the rear could no longer sit still and pressed forward with his entire army.
The aliens are intelligent beings, but the inevitable retribution is something deeply embedded in their genes.
——If you make me suffer such a big loss, then I will fight you till death.
The foreign race probably doesn't know the term "fueling tactics", but it's obvious that they know that a lion uses its full strength to fight a rabbit!
However, this wave of enemies continued to flee after causing damage to more than 200 trees.
This forest of foreign races was completely enraged, and they rushed to catch up without hesitation.
Just like the pursuits that Qu Jianlei and the others encountered many times - they may not be able to catch up, but their attitude must be made clear.
They were in hot pursuit, but the protective circle behind them revealed a considerable gap.
But Lin Hai, the other alien race, is not suitable to rush to fill his position.
Whether in the animal world or the human world, there is a word called sphere of influence.
So on the side, there was a huge fleet, sneaking in like this.
After chasing this alien race for a long time, they found that they were getting further and further away.
After a day and a night, they found that they were out of reach, so they could only turn around in frustration.
Qinghu looked behind him, then smiled at Tianyin, "It seems that you don't need to continue to attract hatred."
Tian playfully shrugged his shoulders and replied with a smile, "That's really a pity. I don't wish I was so useless."
Qinghu looked at her deeply and said, "Don't be so hypocritical. The boss said that you may be the decisive fighting force of the human race in the future."
Tianyin shook her head simply, "I'm not. Let alone competing with the boss, senior Jing Yuexin... is someone I can't wait to catch up with."
Qing Hu smiled, but she was muttering in her heart: Want to compete with Jing Yuexin? Little guy, your thoughts are a bit dangerous...
The alien races in this forest are returning slower, probably because they want to save energy.
However, less than two hours after they decided to return, a gray ruler appeared more than a million kilometers ahead.
The ruler is very inconspicuous in space. After it appears, it shakes slightly.
The next moment, a company-class ship suddenly appeared in space. Unlike the ruler, it was quite conspicuous.
Immediately afterwards, Qinghu and Tianyin teleported to the company-class ship, and then warships appeared one by one.
In Qu Jianlei's words - "You have already adjusted them out, don't put them back again."
Fifteen hours later, the battle ended and the two of them rejoined the main force.
Only the people in Digital Phantom knew that the two of them had left briefly. Others didn't know that such an incident had happened.
During these two days, the huge fleet quietly patrolled around the space fluctuation point, observing carefully.
The diameter of the wave point exceeds two thousand kilometers, and there are strong and unstable energy fluctuations.
The radius affected by the fluctuation exceeds one million kilometers.
The observation instruments on the starship show that there is a bright red warning zone from at least the core point to 100,000 kilometers.
