Chapter 81 The Cruel Reality

Instead of using the sublight engine to evacuate the battlefield, the Steadfast-class frigates made a jump directly in the battlefield.

In the dark starry sky, on the battlefield.

Under the firepower attack of the Imperial Fleet, the enemy ships jumped one after another, turning into blue rays of light and disappearing without a trace.

"Boom"

The two Steadfast-class frigates that were about to enter the jump space were targeted by the close-in automatic defense guns on the "Cobra" destroyer.

The dense red barrage attacked the Steadfast-class frigates like a meteor shower.

After less than three seconds, the two Steadfast-class frigates' originally shaky shields shattered.

Countless shells fell on the hull, and a dense explosion occurred immediately.

While escaping, the Steadfast-class frigates were not idle either.

The coil guns on the ship opened fire one after another , attacking the nearby "Cobra" destroyer.

The coil gun shells were blocked by the void shield, while the automatic gun shells fell directly on the hull of the Steadfast-class frigate.

The dense explosions tore the hull of the Steadfast-class frigate layer by layer.

Balls of flames burst and shone in the starry sky.

The Steadfast-class frigate was about to be destroyed, but at the last moment, the opponent successfully entered the jump space.

As the last two enemy ships left the battlefield, the flying The war was gone.

Metal debris was floating everywhere in the universe.

Some were relatively intact, while others were reduced to a pile of slag.

"King, the enemy has evacuated the battlefield..."

In the bridge of the "Firestorm-class" escort ship.

Navy Lieutenant "Azer" reported to Li Meng.

In the bridge, Li Meng sat in the captain's chair.

He looked thoughtfully at the starry sky outside, where there was no longer any war.

It was a pity...

With the superluminal engine, the enemy ship could come and go like the wind.

Even in the battlefield, it could be evacuated quickly.

Is there any technology that can interfere with the operation of the superluminal engine?

Well, there should be...

The superluminal engine will be affected by gravity to some extent.

Leaving the superluminal space also relies on gravity to form a pulling force, pulling the ship out of the superluminal space.

If a distorted gravitational field is created within a certain range, the enemy can be trapped.

Next time you go to the trade mall, you must turn to the back page, there must be similar technology blueprints.

A battle that must be won, if you can't completely wipe out the enemy, it will be a very uncomfortable thing.

Putting away the random thoughts in his mind, Li Meng said to Captain Azer beside him: "Send someone to clean up the battlefield, and let the technology priest see if he can find the star map coordinates of the "UNSC" headquarters in the database of the abandoned ship. ”

“UNSC” has lost so many warships, there must be people alive outside.

Although they are not citizens of the Empire, as long as they are human, they can be transformed mentally.

If that doesn’t work, they can be transformed into slaves or machine slaves.

The Empire is currently short of labor, and even the smallest mosquito is meat.

In the dark starry sky outside, the ships slowly stopped in the battlefield full of flying metal debris.

Soon, a number of “V3” transport boats flew out of the warship’s harbor and began to clean up the battlefield.

As Li Meng said, there are survivors in some of the wrecks.

They are all crew members of the Steadfast-class frigate.

When the ship is destroyed, if you wear a vacuum suit, you can survive for some time even if you are floating in the vacuum.

As for whether you can be found, only God knows.

At this time, on the other side.

In the jump space, a Steadfast-class frigate shuttled alone in the blue aurora world.

“Governor Kaysen, has Governor Brian replied? "

In the bridge, Leo sat in the captain's chair with a dejected look on his face.

At this moment, he was in a terrible mood.

His confidence, his ambition, and his dream were so fragile in the face of reality.

He actually failed...

How should he explain to his companions in the "UNSC"?

After more than two years of preparation, every member of the "UNSC" was full of hope for the future.

Once the news of failure spreads, how big a wave will it cause?

The failure of the war has wasted more than two years of the "UNSC".

All the efforts of his companions were in vain...

They Will there be any problem?

Probably not...

Leo thought of Kaisen and Brian.

The warships they were on were surrounded by other Steadfast-class frigates.

This could prevent the warships they were on from becoming the enemy's first target.

When evacuating the battlefield, Leo also noticed the situation of the two.

They were both still alive and evacuated the battlefield before him.

"We have received letters from Governor Kaisen and Governor Brian. They are all fine. All ships have established contact. A total of six Steadfast-class frigates survived, two of which were severely damaged and have left the jump space, waiting for rescue."

Hearing this, Leo's face sank.

Fifteen warships, only one-third of them can return.

The casualty rate is so shocking.

Everything happened so fast that the fleet had no time to react.

By the time they reacted, the enemy fleet that suddenly appeared was already close.

In just a few minutes, four Steadfast-class frigates were destroyed.

Thinking of the fleet that suddenly appeared from the subspace, Leo's face was uncertain.

Where did the enemy get so many warships?

There was only one two years ago, but six were built in just two years?

That was a 1.5-kilometer-long giant ship, built in just two years?

How is this possible...

"Alansha, report the battle situation here to the Speaker of the Council immediately, we failed..."

Now is not the time to escape.

He must inform the Speaker of the failure so that the Speaker can make plans early.

...

S-01820 star system.

"Star God" space station.

The news of failure came so suddenly that it caught people off guard.

In a conference room, Wood Steven, Brooke, and Wendell sat opposite each other.

The expressions on the faces of the three were very solemn.

The silence in the council room was terrifying, and no one wanted to be the first to speak.

Because they didn't know what to say or what to do.

Although Wood Steven thought about the consequences of failure.

But that was just a thought in his mind. From beginning to end, he didn't think that "UNSC" would lose.

15V3, the advantage is mine.

But now, the facts show that they were wrong, and their intelligence was wrong.

Not 15V3, but 15V6.

The gap of two times is enough to bring disaster to "UNSC".

It's not that they didn't think that there would be warships left in the S-01888 star system.

But the number will never be large, there will be only one at most.

Because it has only been two years since the last time "UNSC" appeared in the S-01888 star system.

Two years ago, the unknown force had only one warship.

Two years later, three warships were the limit. No matter how many more, there would never be more than four.

There was no way there would be five, and there was no way there would be six.

But the reality was cruel. The other side had six warships.
