For the past half month, Virto has been in extreme anxiety.
First, they learned that Randy and Wacker were under house arrest by West, and then even the existence of Gilt was discovered. In the end, Verto, who wanted to transfer, found that the entire Gilt had been shrouded in a jump blocking device.
within the interference range.
At this time, Verto has only one option left, and that is...
Fight to the death with Belt's encirclement and suppression army in Gilt!!
Although he only has 5 billion battleships, Virto believes that he has no chance of winning.
After all, Gilt is where most of the top scientists in the entire federation have gathered, and they have been brought here by him in various ways over the past few hundred years.
Coupled with the annual interception of 30% of federal military expenditures, Gilt has sufficient funds to conduct various scientific research.
Therefore, in terms of technological level, Gilt is almost a whole generation more advanced than the Federation.
"Leader, we received a message from General Waynes, asking us to surrender immediately!"
Beers came to Verto and reported.
However, Virto did not speak, and just snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face.
Persuade to surrender?
nonexistent.
You must know that the entire Gilt, whether they are captive scientists or soldiers in the fleet, have all been brainwashed by "forbidden technology".
(The so-called taboo technology refers to technologies that are jointly banned from use by the four major and fifth-level civilizations! Once anyone is found to be using it, the four major and fifth-level civilizations will completely destroy their civilization!)
Persuade you to surrender...no one will respond at all!
"Beers, I will hand over the command of all fleets to you, and you will have full command!"
"Yes, leader!"
At the same time, outside Gilt.
"Any response?"
"No response received, General Lines!"
"How can this be?"
Nowadays, Virto is at the end of his rope, and in order to let everyone in Gilt receive this message, he deliberately uses the public channel to send it.
Lyons doesn't think that among the 5 billion battleships and trillions of soldiers, not a single one of them will surrender, and they are all willing to follow Virto to seek death!
unless...
Ryans suddenly thought of something, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.
"Virto, you dare to do such an unforgivable thing, it is simply unforgivable!!!"
"Order the fleet to start attacking according to the planned battle plan!"
Ryans already figured out why no one responded to his message.
At the same time, he also understood that continuing to wait was meaningless, so he immediately turned to his deputy and ordered!
"Yes, General Lines!"
The next moment, all the fleets surrounding Gilt began to move, attacking the star system from all directions!
The entire encirclement network was established about 1 AU outside Gilt, which was not very far away. Just half an hour later, all the fleets broke into the star system at the same time and rushed towards the various fleet arrays in Gilt.
5 billion versus 20 billion seems to be a very different number, so there is no need to doubt the result.
But in fact, this is not the case.
On the one hand, the fleet under Vertor, due to its advanced technology, is slightly stronger in both attack and defense than the fleet led by Lines.
On the other hand, all the officers and men in its fleet have been thoroughly brainwashed. They move forward bravely without fear or retreat!
Therefore, even if there is an absolute numerical advantage, from the overall situation on the battlefield, Lines' advantage is not as great as imagined.
"General, the enemy troops on the opposite side are very strange and a little abnormal!"
"Well, I know. I was just suspicious before, but now, I can confirm that the fleet under Vertor has all been brainwashed!"
"What? How dare he do such a thing! These are not just a few people, there must be at least 10 trillion people!"
"So, we must annihilate Verto here today and continue to let him go. For the Federation, it is a time bomb that will explode at any time!"
Ryans said with a cold face.
It's just that the current battle situation is indeed a bit bad. The attack methods used by Lions' side are still physical weapons carrying small space barriers. After all, for space shields, energy weapons have almost zero effect, unless you can have an absolute weapon like the Zerg.
Quantity of sex!
But Vertor's fleet is different. In addition to the conventional physical projectile weapons of the fifth-level civilization against space shields, it also possesses the killer weapon of gravity cannon!
Although this gravity cannon has many shortcomings, such as short range and long firing interval, and because of its large size, only one is installed on the bow of each battleship.
Moreover, Lyons took sufficient precautions against the gravity cannon at the beginning of the war, allowing the fleet to keep a distance from the opponent and try to prevent the combat distance between the two sides from falling within 3 million kilometers.
But, obviously, it doesn’t have much effect!
After all, the two sides are face to face, and Verto's side can rush forward at full speed and shorten the distance!
Lions, on the other hand, can only use the auxiliary engine to move the warship backwards. In this case, it can only reach a speed of more than 40,000 kilometers per second. After all, it is not the main engine!
In this way, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield. The smaller side was constantly attacking, while the larger side was constantly fighting and retreating.
And once the distance is shortened to less than 300 kilometers, the gravity cannon comes into play. Often one gravity cannon can destroy several or even dozens of warships, and the space shield has no effect at all.
Fortunately, the number of battleships on Lions' side was four times that of the other side, and Lions was also a commander with rich combat experience.
When one of Vertor's fleets attacks a certain front, Lines does not simply move the entire formation back, but moves the fleet pointed in the direction of the attack back, and other surrounding fleets will cooperate, moving from top to bottom.
Left and right, encircling the attacking fleet from all directions.
Therefore, even if Vertor's fleet uses gravity cannons to inflict heavy casualties on the Lynes fleet in front of it, it will also be attacked by fleets from other directions. It can be said that no one will get too much benefit.
However, in terms of the fleet's battle losses, Lines's losses were relatively greater, with a battle loss of almost 2:1.
After all, the gravity cannon is really a foul for the current Vera Federation!
"This cannot continue. Even if we can finally annihilate Verto's fleet, our losses will reach an unacceptable level!"
Looking at the tactical panel, Ryans, who had lost more than 500 million warships on his side, no longer wanted to continue like this.
"Immediately deploy the gamma ray cannon module, prepare for launch, and completely open up the situation!"
