Chapter 62: Those Who Plant Trees Will Enjoy the Shade

Is this the Gundam?

Looking at the Gundam flying around outside being chased by the close-in defense gun fire, Li Meng thought to himself.

A humanoid body with a vector nozzle and flexible turning.

If equipped with powerful weapons, it can indeed cause a devastating blow to the warship.

Not only that, it can occupy an absolute advantage when fighting with enemy carrier-based aircraft.

"Wang, the enemy humanoid carrier-based aircraft is evacuating..."

Outside, the Gundam that was entangled with the close-in defense automatic gun suddenly turned and evacuated in the direction they came from.

"What's wrong with the anti-ship torpedo?"

Li Meng turned around and asked Ralph behind him.

The Alfred was getting closer and closer to the enemy fleet.

About hundreds of kilometers, this distance ends in a flash in the universe.

But the speed of the enemy fleet was not slow. Although the distance between the two sides was getting closer, it was not easy to catch up.

Li Meng suddenly found that the accuracy of the anti-ship torpedo seemed to be getting worse and worse.

A few minutes ago, a ball of fire could be seen from time to time on the enemy ship.

Now, the anti-ship torpedoes have deviated to who knows where.

It has been more than a minute since any torpedo hit the enemy ship.

Ralph replied: "The navigation radar of the anti-ship torpedoes has been interfered with, and it has become more and more serious over time. The principle is unknown, and it is not an electromagnetic weapon."

Interfered?

Is it because of Minovsky particles?

The Alfred is following the enemy fleet, and the Minovsky particles in this star field will only become more and more dense.

The navigation radar of the anti-ship torpedoes will naturally be seriously interfered with.

At this time, on the other side, in the fleet's No. 1 ship, Sen Shou Shunta received a message.

"Retreat? Why? The enemy's shield has been broken, and the anti-ship torpedoes have obviously been seriously interfered by the Minovsky particles. We may not lose. Lord Shouzheng, please give me a little more time, and I will bring you victory."

"This is an order. This attack was too hasty. Sen Shou Shunta, this is not your fault. You don't need to be responsible for your failure. We must preserve our strength now. We can't bury all the warships in your hands. Retreat, immediately!"

"But..."

Before he finished speaking, the bust on the screen in front of him disappeared.

Outside was a scene of war, and in the bridge, everyone looked at Sen Shou Shunta.

No one wanted to die, and no one wanted to become a cold corpse floating in the dark universe.

Everyone understood that if they continued to fight, soon the remaining three warships would follow in the footsteps of the third and fifth warships.

"Has the mobile assault team withdrawn?"

"All ships have been withdrawn, and the number of aircraft remaining is 21."

"Order all ships to enter the curvature space immediately and leave the battle..."

Finally, Sen Shou Shuntai still issued an order to evacuate.

With Sen Shou Shuntai's order, outside, in the dark universe.

The only three remaining Salamis-class cruisers flew towards the depths of the starry sky in a triangular formation...

Suddenly, a ball of blue light burst out from each ship.

The next moment, the three cruisers turned into three blue streams and disappeared into the depths of the starry sky.

As the enemy fleet withdrew, the lively battlefield suddenly became quiet.

Only some anti-ship torpedoes that had left the ship were still flying forward in the dark starry sky.

Only some metal debris was floating in the dark universe.

On the battlefield, the Alfred slowly moved forward...

The metal debris collided with the hull and burst into sparks.

Outside the window, a corpse in a space combat suit floated over and hit the window.

It was bounced off again and gradually drifted away...

This scene was seen by Li Meng in the bridge.

This battle is really inexplicable...

Looking at the metal wreckage floating in the dark universe outside.

Looking at the corpse that hit the window and was moving away, Li Meng thought to himself.

The other party started the battle without saying a word, which was really a bit like him.

Just like the time when he encountered the "UNSC" Steadfast-class frigate in the S-01888 star system.

No, it is much stronger than him.

Before the attack, he at least warned the other party.

And the environment of both parties is also different.

S-01888 is his territory, and the arrival of "UNSC" is an invasion.

The S-01909 star system is different.

This is a no-man's land, not the base of a certain force.

The question is, why did the unknown force attack him?

Could it be for the frozen planet behind?

As expected, the most difficult people to get along with are the same kind...

If it is an alien civilization, both sides will be cautious when they first come into contact.

But it is different for the same kind. Both sides know each other well.

What they do first consider their own interests.

Once their own interests cannot be guaranteed, the choice of war or peace will become more straightforward.

"King, should we build an outpost on the frozen planet to declare sovereignty?"

The battle is over...

Although the Alfred was badly damaged, as the victorious party, it should reap the fruits of victory.

Li Meng waved his hand slightly and said: "Sovereignty is not obtained by declaration. Even if we build an outpost on the frozen planet, we can't defend it. As the saying goes, the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade. Let others plant the trees. It's not too late to pick the fruits when they are ripe."

The empire is not ready to expand outward.

At this time, the development of the S-01888 star system is the top priority.

Now that the power of the group has been highlighted, he should also make some preparations.

Whether now or in the future, he will only be one person.

A foundation that surpasses others a hundred times cannot make him invincible.

When everyone's characteristics are combined and cooperate with each other, the potential of the team will quickly catch up with him and surpass him.

He must chase time...

"Go home..."

After the words fell, golden wings of light stretched out from behind Li Meng.

Above Li Meng's head, the space was distorted and turned into a red vortex with a diameter of about five meters.

The golden wings of light spread out and Li Meng flew up and rushed into the red vortex.

As Li Meng rushed into the red vortex, the red vortex collapsed instantly and disappeared.

This scene was seen by everyone on the bridge.

Ralph knew that "King" could enter and exit the subspace without the help of any equipment.

And it could travel through the subspace at a faster speed.

At this time, "King" must be on his way home.

Turning back and sitting in the captain's chair, Ralph said in a straight voice: "Return immediately!"

Outside, in the dark universe.

The tail engine of the Alfred spewed out hundreds of meters of tail flames.

The powerful thrust gradually accelerated the Alfred, and it flew deep into the starry sky...

The Alfred's hull had been damaged, and it would not enter the subspace until it left the S-01909 star system.
