Ariston Galaxy, near the entrance of the cosmic ocean current.
"Commander, the evacuation progress has reached 72.9%, and it is expected to be completed in another 18 hours!"
"Well, maintain the passage of ocean currents and avoid any collision accidents!"
Alfie nodded and said.
At this moment, she was not too worried about Arno's fleet, but rather worried about the channel in front of the entrance of the ocean current.
After all, Arno's fleet is already on its way to the preset trap, and if there is dense and uninterrupted traffic of spacecraft on the channel at the mouth of the ocean current, what if a large-scale serial collision accident occurs and the mouth of the ocean current is blocked?
It will significantly affect the entire evacuation schedule!
In any case, the currently deployed labyrinth interference array and the terminal bomb may be able to scare Arno for a while, but they will definitely not scare him for a lifetime.
Therefore, the evacuation timetable is very important. Every hour of delay increases the probability of an accident by one hour.
"I understand, Commander!"
The adjutant also knew the stakes and immediately responded.
At the same time, it was more than 20,000 light-years away from the Ariston galaxy.
In the colorful hyperspace, Arno's fleet is constantly moving.
"General, we are about to reach the end of the area that the scout ship has explored, and we expect to exit hyperspace in ten seconds!"
"Okay, after exiting, immediately arrange for manpower to continue cracking the interference parameters in all areas!"
"Yes, General!"
Ten seconds later, the fleet that was originally sailing in hyperspace was forced to exit hyperspace and came under the starry sky because the hyperspace engine was interfered with again.
The people in Moi are already very experienced in this incident. After all, they have been used to it since they have been going back and forth more than ten times.
However, they did not realize that the situation this time was different.
This is also the reason why Elfie placed the terminal bomb so deep into the maze instead of on the outside.
The Arno fleet, which has become accustomed to this operation, did not conduct a comprehensive scan of the entire area as it did when it first entered the maze. Instead, it only scanned for the presence of local warships and did not notice it at all.
There were no enemy warships, but there was something even more deadly, not far from their fleet... it was beeping!
"General, a burst of energy has been detected, located about 10 light years away from the front of our fleet array!"
An energy burst ten light years away?
Hearing this, Arnaud was slightly startled, and then he was shocked when he remembered something.
"Quick, take the energy explosion point as the center and 5,000 light-years as the radius. Calculate how many warships our fleet will be covered within the spherical range. Immediately, immediately!"
"Yes, General!"
It didn't take too much time. I just operated on the virtual interface in front of me, and the results were already obtained. It only took three seconds.
"General, according to calculations, this range will cover most of the fleet at the front of our array, and it is estimated that more than 30 billion warships will be covered!"
"Damn it, notify all fleets immediately, adjust the direction of the ship's bow immediately, start the hyperspace engine, and return to the previous interference zone!"
"Yes, General!"
I hope I am overthinking it...
Looking at the busy bridge, Arnault couldn't help but think so in his heart.
Yes, he was not very sure, but he did have a guess in this regard.
This maze-like interference array was basically designed by humans to guide themselves to a preset location.
As a result, I thought I had discovered a loophole in human deployment, so I stupidly jumped in...
Although Arnault reacted quickly and took action immediately, it was too late after all.
Half an hour later, when the entire fleet returned to the previous interference block, after some counting, it was found that a full 12 billion warships had not returned.
Obviously, those battleships were attacked before they escaped...
What is even more terrifying is that among the warships that successfully escaped, almost 20 billion warships also became ghost ships.
Yes, these warships escaped successfully, but the problem is that they were already infected when they escaped, but they just hadn't fully attacked yet, and during the return...
Therefore, the battleship returned, but it was a battleship with a pile of corpses.
This incident made Arnault dare not order the advance again.
Who knows, have humans deployed more such horrific weapons in this maze?
------
At the entrance to the ocean current leading to the Tear North supercluster, the battleship Ther.
"Commander, the terminal bomb has been confirmed to detonate, and it is expected to affect 32 billion enemy ships. The enemy fleet has now returned to the previous node of the maze!"
"Very good, are the energy simulation devices ready?"
"Already prepared!"
"Then detonate them all!"
"clear!"
As the adjutant went to execute the order, Alfie turned his attention to the virtual star map in front of him.
In the star map, with the Arnaud fleet as the center, there are red dots that are constantly flashing more than 10,000 light-years away, distributed in a spherical equidistant form and surrounding the Arnaud fleet in the middle.
After a while, these red dots suddenly began to disappear one by one...
------
The location of Arno's fleet.
"General, a large amount of energy reaction suddenly appeared around our fleet, which is consistent with the previous reaction!"
"What, are you sure you got it right?"
Hearing this, Arnault was suddenly startled. Is it the same reaction as before, or a lot more?
Can you not be stunned by this?
Just now, you wiped out more than 30 billion battleships in just one move. Did you detect a large number of reactions around the fleet?
Wouldn't that mean that his entire fleet would be destroyed?
"Yes, General, about 10,000 light-years away from our fleet, there was an energy burst reaction in all directions, and this reaction was exactly the same as the previous one!"
"Wait a minute, you said ten thousand light years away?"
"Yes, General Arnault!"
"Asshole, can't you make it clear from the beginning?"
Hearing this, Arno was immediately furious.
Can we equate the area around this fleet with the area 10,000 light years away from the fleet?
Did you almost have a heart attack from the scare?
etc...
Just now my adjutant seemed to say that in all directions?
Could it be...
"Bring up the star map immediately and mark all detected energy reactions on it!"
"Yes, General!"
Soon, under the adjutant's operation, a virtual star map appeared on the bridge.
After seeing what this star map showed, Arno's face suddenly became very ugly.
As the adjutant said, reactions of energy bursts appeared in every direction around the fleet, forming a spherical shape with itself as the center.
