The fleet grew faster and faster, gradually leaving Mars behind, eventually turning into an inconspicuous dot, slowly drowning in the darkness of space.

The fleet sailed this time was different from the past, each ship no longer only left one or two people on duty, but all the command levels were in place, Huo Qiang personally took the commanders to observe the asteroids every day, and then called the captains together to discuss the enemy situation, requiring each captain to know the situation in the asteroid belt well.

It's easy to hibernate the captains, but when the fleet arrives, everyone must start from scratch about how the situation changes during hibernation. Huo Qiang believes that no matter whether he reads the information or listens to the report, he does not have a solid impression left by personal observation and analysis, so he directly breaks the previous convention.

Two days after the fleet departed, the fleet found that the assembled alien fleet suddenly had a wide range of abnormal activities such as direction change and acceleration, and the analysis found that the enemy had adjusted the assembly coordinates again.

The earliest assembly coordinates of the aliens were near Ceres, and the distance between the assembly point and Ceres after the first adjustment was almost 1 million kilometers, but this time the adjustment was more thorough, and the assembly point was directly moved to 5 million kilometers away.

At the daily analysis meeting, everyone expressed their opinions and ideas, but no one knew what the aliens wanted to do when they moved the assembly point.

After listening to everyone's opinions, Huo Qiang concluded: "The aliens did retreat again and again, but they never gave up assembling the fleet, what does this mean?" It shows that the enemy has never planned to give up Ceres, and it means that they still want to snatch Ceres back, so if they encounter today's situation in the future, they don't need to discuss it at the meeting......"

The days passed, probably because the fleet waved Ceres to bring too much pressure to Gao Kai, the actions of the Nanzhou ship group became more and more aggressive, originally only in the vicinity of Ceres, but with the passage of time, the range of activities of the Nanzhou ship group became larger and larger, and when the Jizhou ship group flew out of half, the activity range of the Nanzhou ship group was already half an astronomical unit, and dozens of human warships were galloping across the vast battlefield, blocking alien warships everywhere.

The aliens did not show weakness, in order to successfully complete the assembly, they deliberately divided a part of the warship,-for-tat counterattack, the fleets of the two sides sometimes converged, sometimes scattered; Interspersed today, detoured tomorrow.

The enemy and the enemy took turns to show various tactics, but there were very few times to carry the hard knock, and as a result, both sides were tired of a lot of brain cells, but the real hard battle was not fought a few times, and the losses were within the range of bearing.

If you don't know that the two sides are real mortal enemies, the offensive and defensive battles staged in the asteroid belt are like pre-arranged performances.

In contrast, there is nothing to say about the direction of Vesta, there are very few enemy ships confronting the international fleet, and the international fleet is in camp step by step, and the enemy forces are retreating step by step, but they cooperate closely.

Time always slips away inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, more than half of the Jizhou ship group has sailed, and the range of activities of the Nanzhou ship group is still expanding.

Huo Qiang thought that this was not a good phenomenon, and raised this issue at the daily regular discussion meeting, and after giving it to everyone to discuss it, he gave the order to the Nanzhou to shrink the fleet.

The order makes it clear that the mission of the Nanzhou ship group is not to confront the enemy, but to hold Ceres.

The aliens divided their forces to block the effect of the attack, successfully slowed down the pace of the Nanzhou ship group, and created favorable conditions for the smooth assembly of the alien fleet, now that the enemy is about to assemble, if the Nanzhou ship group continues to be scattered outside, once the enemy attacks Ceres, the consequences are unimaginable.

However, the order of the Jizhou also affirmed the achievements of the Nanzhou, if it were not for the Nanzhou ship group to attack everywhere, the alien fleet should have been assembled at this time, but now it is different, there are only about 50% of the enemy ships near the assembly point, and the other enemy ships are still scattered in a vast area of half an astronomical unit.

Gao Kai, who received the order, sighed helplessly, in fact, he also found the problem that the fleet was too scattered, even if the Jizhou didn't say it, he was ready to collect the fleet.

But the order of the Jizhou was one step earlier, and now this situation is equivalent to the Jizhou depriving the Nanzhou of the command in advance!

However, at this point, he had nothing to say, and directly conveyed the order, asking the ships to return as soon as possible.

The reason why it is not immediately returned is that many of our warships are entangled with enemy ships, and they must first throw off the enemy ships and wait for safety before they can return home.

The warships belonging to the Nanzhou ship group returned one after another, and the aliens immediately noticed this phenomenon, and instead of blocking it, they took the initiative to break away from the battle and let the human warships leave.

Of course, this is not how kind the aliens are, and they also have to rush to the assembly point, so there was an extremely strange scene in the asteroid belt, not long ago the fleets of the two sides were fighting life and death like Mars hitting the earth, but in a blink of an eye, there was a ceasefire and a cessation of war, even if they saw the other party's warships, they ignored it, and they buried their heads in the road.

It's not that I really don't want to ignore it, but the direction of the warships on both sides is different, and the relative speed is very fast, and it is a matter of a moment to take a picture, and the distance is long and the time is short, even if all the naval guns are fully fired, at most they will give the enemy ships a few guns, and whether they can fight or not has to be said separately, so the two sides have a very tacit ceasefire, and no one wastes that time and feelings.

After Gao Kai learned of the aliens' movements, he immediately alerted the Jizhou, he believed that the aliens should not continue to assemble at this time, and the current situation was very abnormal.

War is the process by which the commanders of both sides guess each other's intentions, but many times, this guess is very vague, so there is a simpler response: whatever the enemy wants to do, it must be destroyed!

For this reason, Gao Kai believed that the fleet should continue to block enemy ships.

The Jizhou ruthlessly rejected Gao Kai's suggestion, ordered Gao Kai not to interfere with the enemy's build-up, and reiterated that it asked Gao Kai to assemble the fleet as soon as possible.

The order didn't say what the assembled fleet was doing, but as long as he still had eyes, he knew that Huo Qiang meant to guard Ceres, waiting for the assembled alien fleet to attack.

Gao Kai really couldn't figure out what Huo Qiang meant.

Soldiers are impermanent, and now is not the Spring and Autumn Era of the battle array, since it is a war, it should be used for everything, and the horses and horses are driven to the death with the alien fleet......

There is a super cannon on Ceres, and if it is used well, it can indeed give aliens a big blow, but Huo Qiang's tactics are still too conservative, at the very least, he has to leave a mobile fleet, right?
