Chapter 572 Broken Star Domain
"The other party wants to break through our defense line and go around behind us!" The old patriarch sighed.
In fact, he had expected this situation a long time ago. If the commander on the opposite side was not too stupid, he would definitely adopt such a tactic of breaking the hand.
He didn't order the defense fleet to pursue, because their second-hand modified spaceships couldn't catch up with the opponent's high-speed fleet at all.
And once a large number of spaceships are dispatched to contain them, the defense line here will be empty, and without the cooperation of the fleet, it is easy for the opponent to take advantage of it.
The performance of the spaceship can be said to be the Achilles' heel of the Lions. Whether it is firepower or speed, it cannot compare with the regular army of Gemini.
The Bronze Mecha Legion is powerful, but at best it is a group of infantry, and it is impossible to compare speed and durability with cavalry.
Even if he knew Gemini's purpose, the means he could use to deal with it were limited, and he could only watch the other party flee further and further away.
Not long after, the two distant Gemini fleets activated the optical stealth system, and the entire fleet gradually blurred and completely disappeared from the Ryan clan's radar.
Although gravitational radar can break optical stealth, it is not omnipotent. Its disadvantage is that the detection distance is short, which is proportional to the quality of the detected target.
The detection distance of massive celestial bodies can reach the light-year level, but for such a small fleet-sized flying target, tens of millions of kilometers is already the limit.
"Patriarch, what should we do now? The two fleets combined have more than 60 warships. Although the combat power is not strong, it may have a certain impact on our logistics supply line..." Someone worried.
"Don't worry, I have reminded Kinloch of this situation a long time ago. He cherishes his private fleet and wants to preserve its strength, and let us be cannon fodder. Then he should have the awareness of this situation. The responsibility cannot be ours. .
As for the task of protecting the supply line, that is beyond our scope of responsibility..." A gleam flashed in the eyes of the old patriarch.
……
"Bang! A bunch of trash!"
Sure enough, after receiving the news, Kinloch, who was hiding behind the safety, just dropped his glass and cursed a piece of trash in depression, but he didn't really trouble the Lions.
The Lions had indeed reminded them of the performance gap between the two warships, but the fleet under Kinloch's command could be said to be his private property, and if there was any damage, he would not feel distressed to death.
Kinloch's small calculations are very smart, even if all the mercenaries are dead, he doesn't feel bad, at worst, he will recruit another batch.
It's a pity that he misjudged the strength of the Gemini civilization from the very beginning. Although it is far inferior to the Woolf Empire, it is definitely not something that a wealthy businessman like him can easily eat.
At least Gemini seems to be very strong now, and this war will definitely not be over for a while.
No matter where it is, war is the most expensive investment. Even if mercenaries are cheap, those equipment and supplies are real money.
Although the output of dozens of galaxies owned by Kinloch is not bad, self-produced and self-sold, these consumptions also have the effect of stimulating domestic demand, but it can't stand the constant burning of money!
Kinloch was already a little annoyed because of this, but he didn't expect that the other side would give him such a blow.
He is quite a bit stuck on a tiger right now.
You must know that this wormhole has been reported to Woolf Empire, and he just bought the "independent development rights" here.
This model is like the wasteland contracting system of the Land Bureau, where you pay to contract a piece of wasteland for development.
Regardless of the development results, just pay a personal income tax.
But now that the development of Kinloch is halfway through, it is discovered that the "demolition fee" of the local residents has exceeded the standard, and additional investment is required!
This is going to kill me!
If you don’t continue to invest money, the initial investment will basically be in vain.
But continue to invest, no one knows when this bottomless pit will be filled, and it is not impossible for him to go bankrupt in the end.
Therefore, betting on stones is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the industry...
In the current situation, it is undoubtedly the safest way to hand over the task of Gemini and ask the imperial army to take over the war. This is called cutting the flesh and stopping the loss.
But the question is, is Kinloch a person who can cut flesh?
Obviously, cutting must be death would not cut!That hurt him more than Kinloch's life.
Now I can only hope that Cloros' plan will be successful...
"Let our people strengthen their defenses, double the defense force of the transport fleet, and let the Fifth Fleet search the nearby star field to wipe out those two annoying flies!" Jin Luke said with a headache.
All these actions increased the cost, and it was all the money he earned through hard work!
These damned enemies!
"Yes!"
……
The Titan galaxy is the closest galaxy to the wormhole battlefield under the name of Kinloch. The distance between the two is about 1 light hour. According to the current speed of the spaceship of the Woolf Empire, it takes about ten hours to travel.
The Fifth Fleet is one of the five private fleets under Kinloch's command. It has about 500 warships and is usually responsible for the defense of the Titan galaxy.
In addition, they are also responsible for providing logistical support for this war. It can be said that they are the biggest opponents of the Gemini Star Fleet in the battle!
But just as Kinloch launched an operation to encircle and suppress the invading fleet, Nie Yun led the fleet straight to a coordinate.
Unlike Beckman, whose eyes were darkened and who could only collect information little by little, Nie Yun had already invaded the Ryan people's intelligence system and gained a first-mover advantage.
Although the Lions also have limited knowledge of the internal intelligence of Kinloch's side, it is impossible to leak information such as the layout of troops to them.
But as a local aborigine, the Lions have a unique advantage in intelligence about the surrounding star fields...
Ten days later, Nie Yun sailed all the way at high speed, and after making several disguises and changing directions, he led the fleet to the planned destination, and what he saw was a huge meteorite field!
"This is..." Everyone in the fleet was stunned by the scene before them.
Within a diameter roughly equivalent to that of the solar system, large or small celestial fragments revolve slowly around a white dwarf star in the center, and fine dust clouds spread throughout the entire star field.
What is shocking is not the scale of this meteorite belt, but some information faintly revealed in each broken celestial body.
The largest of these celestial fragments is comparable to a small planet, but it is not a naturally formed regular oval or similar shape, but is full of edges and fractures, more like planetary fragments after being hit by some powerful weapon!
"This...is it a battlefield?" Catherine widened her eyes and asked in surprise.
"Who knows?" Nie Yun also pretended to be surprised and shrugged.
Nie Yun naturally has part of the information here, although it is not complete.
The Broken Star Field is a famous broken galaxy near the Titan galaxy.
Same as Catherine's guess, this place used to be an ancient battlefield, and it is said that the nearby star field originally belonged to a powerful civilization.
The Woolf Empire encountered this civilization more than 1000 years ago, and a large-scale war soon broke out between the two sides, and the results were obvious.
Although the Woolf Empire won the final victory, it encountered fierce resistance from the other side. In the tragic war, both sides even turned the main battlefield into ruins. The intensity of the battlefield at that time can be seen!
And after thousands of years of development, this broken galaxy is still desolate.
But the harsh and complicated celestial environment has created a special cosmic group... Pirates!
