Chapter 1224: Prey Appears
On the hyperspace route to λ335 Sagittarius.
The human fleet dragged out a photon transition belt with a length of hundreds of thousands of light seconds, and rushed towards λ335 Sagittarius at the limit of 100 times the speed of light with curvature.
According to the plan, the human fleet will arrive at λ335 Sagittarius in 12 hours to intercept the fleet of Earl Tallindall.
It's a hunt.
It's just a blind hunt.
Because the human fleet does not know where Earl Talindall is now, everything can only be guessed.
"What do you think is the probability of catching Earl Talindall?"
There are still 12 hours before the answer is revealed. On the flagship of the Shenzhou, the military scientific research team chatted casually to ease the tension before the war.
Although they have experienced many battles, fighters still feel nervous.
This state is good, moderate tension can keep people in a positive state.
"It's hard to say, about 50%, but my intuition tells me that the probability should be higher." Lang Xiaonian couldn't hide his nervousness in his tone.
His nervousness was actually a bit excessive, because the course of action for hunting Earl Talindall was planned by him, and it was very important to him whether he could successfully capture Earl Talindall.
"If you miss nothing, you will understand Xiao Siyan." Niu Dazhi put his arms around the back of Lang Xiaonian's neck and pulled him over, with the expression of a big brother taking care of the newcomer.
Lang Xiaonian pushed his glasses and replied: "I tried my best, λ335 Sagittarius is the place where I think the most likely place to catch Earl Talindall.
"However, it also depends on what Earl Talindall thinks. If he doesn't go as we predicted, then I have nothing to do."
"Xiao Nian, don't pay attention to this guy. I trust your judgment. As long as the Earl of Tarindale is not too stupid, he will definitely run to join the Duke of Arden. Our course of action must be right." Eve saw Niu Dazhi bullying The classmates didn't deal with him.
"What if that bastard is too stupid? Don't we have nothing to lose?" Niu Dazhi retorted.
"Do you think Taryn Dahl's brain circuits are as flat as yours?" Eve rolled her eyes and turned her face away.
"It's hard to say,
A weird creature like Palesi doesn't even have a brain. "Niu Dazhi despises Paleser's life in a serious manner.
"Actually, our operation this time is indeed blindly catching Talin Dahl, just to see if he will crash into our sickle."
Lang Xiaonian discusses the action in a serious manner, and Niu Dazhi is not on the same channel: "Actually, if Earl Talindall is so stupid that he has no intelligence and performs Brownian motion in the Sagittarius spiral arm, then the probability of us catching him is zero."
"Brownian motion? I understand this. Isn't it just irregular movement? The third brother was best at this before." Niu Dazhi had an expression of "I understand it very well".
And it is.
The universe is too vast. If Earl Taryn Dahl took his fleet and ran around in the universe without a fixed direction, but the probability of catching him was almost zero.
However, one of the characteristics of living things is intelligence.
If you are wise, you will look for a self-interested environment.
Now, for Earl Tarindale, as he realized the danger, the safest option was to join Duke Arden.
"Actually. Whether our hunting operation will be successful or not, there is only one key point, and that is whether the Earl of Tallindall realizes that he has become a prey." Ye Zheyu rarely spoke, and he said it very reasonable.
"Yes, Brother Ye is right. The key is whether the Earl of Tallindall realizes that he has become a prey. As long as he gets scared and rushes to join the Duke of Arden, then we can catch him." Lang Xiaonian nodded earnestly .
"I think Xuan, with the arrogance of Palesi nobles, maybe he thinks he can crush us and return to his territory aggressively to encircle us." Niu Dazhi rubbed his chin with a serious expression on his face.
"It's coming, it's time to guess whether the opponent is stupid or not."
Everyone was joking, time passed quickly.
The human fleet gradually enters the star system of λ335 Sagittarius, the "photon transition" stops, the engine is turned off, and it flies into the star system by inertia.
In the deep space of the universe, as long as a fleet turns off all engines and signals, it is equivalent to being invisible on the scale of the star system, and it is difficult for optical detection equipment to detect.
The human fleet went into ambush, released proton observers, and waited for the appearance of prey.
There is a 12-hour time allowance for the initial action plan.
In other words, if the sailing route of Earl Tarindal is predicted, his fleet will be seen within 12 hours.
It might show up in an hour or two, or it might be a ten-hour wait.
"The whole army has entered a state of war, and the staff group will report the data of the enemy fleet again." Fang Yuan ordered the whole army to prepare for the battle.
The staff group used the fleet communication conference to report on the enemy's fleet data: "The Tallindar fleet has 24 warships and consists of two standard fleets.
"Among them 4 battleships, 8 cruisers, and 12 destroyers.
"There are two star-rank templars in the fleet, among which Earl Talindall has the highest level, which is star-rank Lv.8, and needs to be dealt with separately."
After Fang Yuan read the data, his expression was calm.
Although the number of battleships in this Tallindall fleet is more than that of the human fleet, the combat power data of the battleships is not much higher than that of the human fleet.
Judging from the battleship data of advanced civilizations, the Star Destroyer's combat power value is equivalent to three battleships.
Therefore, in terms of fleet firepower, the human fleet lost one battleship and eight cruisers to the Tallindall fleet.
There is a certain gap in the fleet's firepower, but the gap is not that big, at least not as big as when facing the Adun triple star defense fleet.
In fact, if you look at the fleet combat power data of both sides from a normal perspective.
It should be that the Talindar fleet is the hunter, and the human fleet is the prey.
However, the reality is just the opposite.
The human fleet chose to use a fleet weaker than the enemy's combat power data to hunt and kill the Talindar fleet with stronger combat power data.
If this matter is only analyzed from the data, it will not be true at all.
However, judging from experience, the human fleet even captured the capital of the triple star of the Duke of Arden.
In contrast, the strength of the Earl of Talindall's fleet is not as strong as that of the Adun triple star defense fleet.
Therefore, if judged by experience, then it seems that the Tallindall fleet can only be prey.
Fang Yuan sat in the main seat on the bridge of the Shenzhou, tapping the armrest of the seat with his fingers, waiting quietly.
Waiting for the prey who does not know whether it will appear or not.
Fang Yuan had an intuition that Earl Talin Dahl would appear.
Because in my impression, this Earl Paleser has a sense of crisis, and he should be able to realize that he has become a prey.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
The human fleet has entered the silent state of all channels, relying on the inertia, passing away from the λ335 Sagittarius hyperspace node 3000 light-seconds away.
After waiting for 7 hours and 53 minutes, a space fluctuation appeared on the hyperspace node.
The human fleet suddenly opened its eyes like a lion waking up, and all the space soldiers moved.
"The target has appeared, the whole army is in position, ready to fight!" The voices of generals at all levels resounded through every battleship.
