Chapter 386(1/2)
"Congressman Xu, it's great that you came here. To be honest, I really don't have a backbone in my heart."
Alliance Space Command.
Inside the battleship's core control cabin.
After seeing Xu Lei's successful arrival, Commander Nat of the Third Fleet could be said to be very excited, and the heartfelt joy could clearly be seen on his face.
Because there is nothing that can be done about it.
Although there is a battleship stationed here, the total number of battleships cannot be compared with that of the solar system defense ring.
Although his goal is very firm, he will never take a step back.
But he is also worried that he will not be able to resist the fleet of the Pioneer Empire and put the solar system in complete dire straits. This is something he absolutely does not want to see happen.
The main solar system defense ring has indeed achieved good results, but it cannot stop the actions of the Pioneer Empire fleet.
If the opponent is determined to attack planetary cities such as Titan, it will be difficult to have a suitable plan to stop it.
So it is no exaggeration to say that during the period of time when he received Xu Lei's instructions, he endured unprecedented suffering in his heart.
He even considered resigning as commander of the Third Fleet.
Fortunately, his worry did not last long. At the critical moment, Xu Lei drove the Golden Crow warp-of-light spacecraft to the headquarters.
This undoubtedly gave him a dose of Valium.
Even the confidence is much stronger.
Although the power that Xu Lei can use is very limited, for some reason, it seems that as long as Xu Lei is by his side, all difficulties can be overcome.
At this time, Xu Lei's attention was focused on the screen, determining the location of the enemy fleet.
After hearing Nat's words, he couldn't help but feel a wry smile in his heart. Facts have proved that it was the right thing for him to rush here as soon as possible.
If Reunat really leads the Third Fleet to stop the Pioneer Empire fleet, the situation will become very bad, and the advantage gained previously may be lost again.
Therefore, in this situation, Xu Lei did not answer Nat's words, but just analyzed the data given by the space radar on the screen and said: "With the location and flying speed of the Pioneer Fleet, it will take at least ten days to reach our defense line.
, there is not much time left for us.”
At the same time, there is inevitably some fear in my heart.
It can be seen that the Pioneer Empire fleet is determined to attack planets with civilizations, and has no intention of slowing down the entire process, otherwise it would not be possible to reach Saturn so quickly.
If humans hadn't mastered the warp space engine and built the light-speed spaceship Golden Crow, he would definitely not have been able to arrive this time.
What will happen by then is simply unimaginable.
After all, in Nat's current state, there is basically no chance of winning if he fights alone.
Xu Lei's words obviously touched Nat's heart. He immediately took over the words and echoed: "Who can say otherwise? The speed of the battleship owned by the other party is far beyond that of our heavy cruiser."
"What's the situation with the fleet now?"
"Currently, a total of twelve heavy cruisers and the battleship at our feet have been deployed, but it may be very difficult to fight against the opponent's four battleships." After hearing Xu Lei asking about the deployment situation, Nat
Naturally, there was no hesitation and he explained everything in detail.
It's just that the tone at the end was obviously lacking.
Although he learned from Xu Lei that the enemy's fleet currently only had four battleships left, there was still a huge disparity in strength between the two sides.
On the face of it, there is absolutely no chance of winning.
Assuming that the alliance's battleship can contain one of the opponent's battleships, the remaining heavy cruisers can be easily taken away with only a few neutral particle cannon shots.
By then, Titan will have no barrier, and it will even be possible to attack the Titan Fortress directly from space.
Xu Lei also knew the situation of the Third Fleet. After listening to Nat's report, he pondered for a moment and then said: "It seems that we can only rely on Titan's defense force this time."
It is worth mentioning that Titan is the latest planet developed by humans.
Its defense system is definitely much stronger than that of the Moon and Mars. In addition to a large number of heavy rail guns in orbit, it also includes various weapon defense systems on the surface of the planet.
Under all firing, even medium-sized battleships would never dare to resist.
In this way, plus himself, he could barely block three enemy battleships, making them unable to forcefully break through the defense line and launch an attack on Titan.
Unless they intend to die together.
However, based on his understanding of pioneer civilization, no individual should wish to die, especially a bishop-level pioneer who is a member of the royal family.
The original Misty is the best proof.
After all, the higher your status, the longer your life span.
As long as there is any chance, I believe they will not choose to seek death on their own.
In this case, hope is placed on Lei Zhan.
If they can get rid of the damaged battleship as soon as possible and arrive here in time to provide support, then no one can judge what the final outcome will be.
But at least the alliance's chances of winning will be greatly improved.
As a lot of thoughts quickly emerged in his mind, Xu Lei relaxed a little after thinking about this.
And began to actively change the topic.
"What is the current situation on Earth Star? Is there an atmosphere of panic?"
Because at this point, the situation has basically become a foregone conclusion, and there is no other better solution. The only thing that can be done is to wait.
Waiting for the arrival of the Herald Imperial Fleet.
So might as well free your brain from this matter for a while.
You must know that the strength you can exert in a calm state is much higher than when you are nervous.
His move was also to ease Nat's mood.
Otherwise, if this tension is still maintained, there may be unfavorable misjudgments when the battle actually begins.
Nat obviously didn't think too deeply about this, and always reported the truth truthfully when faced with Xu Lei's problems.
"You can rest assured on Earth Star's side."
"Everyone showed great unity in facing the invasion of the pioneer civilization, and the number of people who signed up to join the battle continued to increase."
"We all believe that mankind will definitely win the final victory."
Perhaps because of the close distance to the Earth Star, Nat was quite concerned about the situation there. When he talked about it, he seemed to be infected by this cohesion, and his originally gloomy face finally put on a smile.
"That's good."
After listening to Nat's words, Xu Lei nodded and murmured softly.
Judging from what Nat said, the situation on Earth is basically as he expected. Affected by the anger and hatred towards the Pioneer Empire, the people did not have much panic about the invasion, but were more hopeful.
Being able to join in the battle and personally kill the enemy to avenge your compatriots and family members.
The stability of the rear area is also equivalent to solving a big hidden danger.
In this way, they can confidently and boldly fight to the death with the Pioneer Imperial Fleet until they win the final victory.
Since there were still about ten days before the arrival of the Pioneer Empire Fleet, Xu Lei began to recharge his batteries after he and Nat basically determined the specific plan for the battle and how to deal with emergencies.
Wait patiently for the final battle.
at the same time.
Earth Star.
Just as Nat said, at this time, banners supporting the Alliance fleet can be seen everywhere in major cities on the planet.
Many people spontaneously took to the streets to fight with the fleet on a spiritual level.
It is no exaggeration to say that just by walking outside, you will be infected by the surrounding atmosphere.
I just feel the blood boiling in my chest.
In addition, with the advantage of quantum network communication, the battle situation of the solar system's defense ring also quickly appeared on the Azure website.
After learning that the Alliance fleet had defeated two enemy battleships, he was so excited that he frantically expressed his inner feelings.
So much so that he completely forgot that the defensive ring of the solar system was destroyed and the enemy fleet was heading towards Saturn.
But in a way this is a good thing for ordinary people.
"It's so powerful. The loss of a few small warships can replace two of the enemy's medium-sized warships. This deal is simply as cost-effective as you want."
"It seems that the alliance fleet is still very strong."
"Of course they are stronger. The Alliance's space force is all new human beings with mechanical bodies. Even in space, their combat effectiveness will not be affected."
"I heard that Councilor Xu managed to seize a battleship by himself. His physical strength is incredible, okay?"
"Anyway, I feel at ease with Congressman Xu here."
"Come on, Alliance fleet, we will definitely defeat the invaders and protect the solar system."
"Anyone who offends our solar system will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
