Jupiter, in the virtual conference room of the expeditionary fleet.

Several senior officers of the fleet, led by Huo Qiang, gathered together and curiously stared at Jupiter, which was tens of millions of kilometers away.

To be precise, they were staring at the satellites occupied by aliens.

The Tuwai fleet from Saturn had arrived at Jupiter a few days ago, and the expeditionary fleet had several different speculations about the follow-up actions of this enemy.

In view of the destruction of the satellites by the expeditionary fleet, the fleet staff believed that the Tuwai fleet was likely to abandon the satellites and directly pursue the expeditionary fleet; or the fleet would be divided into two, one part would enter Jupiter, and the other part would pursue.

In short, it was to give priority to retaliatory actions, and deal with the expeditionary fleet first before talking about other things.

Secondly, the staff also believed that the aliens might hold on to Jupiter and restore alien production on several satellites... This was a relatively high probability speculation.

The probability of the other speculations was relatively low, and no one took them seriously at all.

But the aliens didn't go in the direction they had guessed. The entire fleet entered Jupiter without missing a single ship. It wasn't until they were close to the inner layer of Jupiter that the fleet split into four and headed for the four Galilean satellites.

The aliens' actions were beyond the expedition fleet's expectations and immediately aroused great interest among the senior members of the expedition fleet.

Huo Qiang and others had a heated discussion about the enemy's abnormal actions. They believed that the aliens' actions were nothing more than rescuing survivors and occupying satellites again.

Huo Qiang and Halsey quickly reached a consensus: no matter what the aliens' purpose was, they would not stay in Jupiter for too long, and the expedition fleet must be prepared to intercept!

Interception was not as simple as imagined. The Saturn expedition fleet took away too many nuclear bombs, and the interception fleet had very few remaining stocks, which had to be used at the most critical moment. This alone limited the strength of the interception fleet by more than half.

Fortunately, there were plenty of super shotgun shells. As long as the enemy's advance route was determined, the interception fleet could act in advance and launch super shotgun shells on the route that the alien fleet had to pass.

Although the Tuwai fleet is still in the inner layer of Jupiter, the interception fleet has calculated all the feasible routes for the enemy to leave, and even taken the speed of leaving into consideration. As long as the enemy takes action, the interception fleet can immediately grasp the enemy's direction of travel and accurately fire at the predetermined position.

For safety reasons,

the firing position planned by the fleet is far away from the target point, and the distribution area of ​​the super shotgun is a bit large, but considering the number of warships in the Tuwai fleet, this small flaw is not unacceptable. Anyway, it's all blind cats meeting dead mice. It's best if they meet, and it won't lose anything if they don't.

The senior leaders of the fleet believe that there is no need to annihilate a large number of enemy ships. As long as a few enemy ships explode inexplicably, it will arouse the suspicion of the enemy. The best case is that the aliens have to slow down, and the worst case is that the enemy advances as planned.

One of the enemy forces arrived at Callisto first. After the fleet's speed was synchronized with Callisto, it couldn't wait to land, and countless alien giant insects fell from the sky.

Many giant insects were unprecedented to human beings, and there was even a particularly large one among them. Everyone who saw it could not help but guess what this thing was for.

The answer was revealed immediately after the giant insect landed. As soon as this giant insect landed, a large number of servants rushed out from the left and right of the insect's abdomen.

Everyone suddenly realized that this thing was an alien landing craft!

Huo Qiang and several other senior executives all changed their expressions when they saw this scene.

This is not as simple as just a few more giant insects. The key is that the functions of these giant insects have never appeared in the enemy's team. In other words, these new giant insects were redesigned and cultivated by aliens based on battlefield experience. From a certain perspective, they mean that the aliens' tactical thinking has taken another step forward.

For humans, this is definitely not good news.

Several senior executives were very scratching their heads. After discussing for a long time, they did not come up with any results. In the end, they could only put this matter aside.

But after they put their attention back on the enemy, they found something puzzling.

There were too many aliens landing, far exceeding the number needed for rescue, and the enemy's actions did not seem right, not like rescue but more like attack.

Everyone was very surprised and did not understand what the aliens were doing. Unexpectedly, the subsequent development confirmed the expedition fleet's guess. After the aliens dug out the buried aliens from the ground, they actually fed them directly to the giant worms.

Well, it is not news that aliens feed servants to worms, but this time it is different, because the worms eat not only servants but also nobles!

According to the intelligence held by the military, the alien servants are very indifferent to life and death, and do not care about their own life and death at all; but the alien nobles are different. They are like humans, very respectful of death, and will never desecrate the remains of the nobles, unless they are hostile!

In other words, the aliens on Saturn and the aliens on Jupiter are two different forces, and they are hostile to each other!

Huo Qiang felt that he must have a cramp in his brain, otherwise how could he come up with such a crazy idea? Something must have gone wrong.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, but Huo Qiang thinks that no matter which group of aliens they are, they will not be friends of humans, even if the relationship between the two groups of aliens is not so friendly.

However, not everyone supports this argument. Some people think that this is simply because the aliens are unwilling to waste resources, so they feed all the corpses they dug out with great difficulty to the giant insects.

This seems to make sense, because the alien intelligence the military has is not as systematic as imagined, and many places are specious, especially the things related to alien nobles, which are even more confusing. The only information is heard from the servants on Jupiter's moon Zero who betrayed the aliens.

To put it bluntly, it is just hearsay, and there is no evidence at all.

This argument sounds reasonable, so the "alien split theory" was quickly suppressed and accepted by all officers and soldiers of the expedition fleet.

No one knows what the purpose of the extraterrestrial fleet is, but from the current situation, the enemy from Saturn has no intention of leaving Jupiter for a while, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the expedition fleet and also good news for the earth.

The longer the aliens stay in Jupiter, the more time the earth has to prepare, and thus the more hope of victory, even if this hope is extremely slim.

No matter how slim it is, it is still hope, which is much better than nothing.

However, the expeditionary fleet was not in a hurry to report this news, because the enemy had just arrived at Jupiter, and it was still unknown how long they would stay there, so there was no need to be so anxious.
