"Claire, take Fernand where he needs to go. Everyone is back in their places and waiting for instructions! Laura, tell me the specifics. ”

After receiving the warning from the system, Renault grabbed the mobility disc and threw it, and flew quickly towards the command hall.

The puppy Spark jumped off the stage and ran after Renault, which was very fast and was not dropped by the mobility wheel at all.

"A Federation fleet appeared seventy-two light hours away from us, and the preliminary judgment of the size of the starships was thirty, including a Warrior-class main starship, the purpose of which is unknown." Starship Brain Laura replied.

"Why did you find out so closely?"

"The other party has enabled quantum shielding, and it is impossible to detect the other party at a greater distance in a faster-than-light state."

"Quantum shielding?" Renault's heart sank: "What is their speed?" ”

"Twelve times the speed of light."

This number made Renault's mood tighten again, and it was much faster than their current speed, which meant that it would not be long before they could pose a threat to themselves.

At this time, the mobility disc had flown into the command hall with Renault.

Adjutant Snyder saw Renault coming in and hurriedly greeted him: "It's the Federation fleet, and the orbit difference is being calculated to confirm whether it is a pursuing fleet." ”

"Don't calculate, it's not a passing fleet, it's coming to pursue us." Renault walked quickly to the captain's seat and sat down, opened the dashboard, and the puppy Spark automatically ran to Renault's feet and sat down, and it was not noisy.

On the dashboard, a red dot flashing on the Pursuing Fleet.

"The order was received, the target was confirmed to be the pursuing fleet, and the fleet was ordered to go on alert." A pilot officer said.

Renault has ordered: "Reconnaissance of the pursuing fleet, we need more information about enemy ships." ”

"The order is received, the enemy ship is being explored, and the hull is being mapped in real time."

As the probe wave continued to feed back information, the silhouettes of the starships appeared on the Abrodius holographic screen, as if they had a pen sketching on them. However, this one seems to be distracted, and there are some messy pixel changes from time to time.

"The other side is interfering." The pilot returns.

Snyder muttered, "The hostility is clear, and it is indeed the pursuing fleet." They really found us. ”

Although he knew that faster-than-light flight was not omnipotent, Snyder was still surprised that the other party found them so quickly.

"Laura, import the footage into the database and see which fleet is chasing us." Reynolds ordered that he didn't even have time to be surprised compared to his own adjutant.

"The image is being imported, but the conditions are insufficient to confirm it...... The conditions are insufficient to confirm ......" Laura's mechanical sound kept coming. The holographic screen is still collecting information about the ships in the rear, but under the interference, the results are slow.

After thinking about it, Renault said: "Abandon other ships and explore the flagship." ”

With Renault's order, the speed of exploration increased significantly, and a huge starship gradually became clear.

At the same time, Laura's voice also began to change: "In the data import, 3,462 suitable starships have been found...... Adapt to 2,000 starships...... Adapts to 1,000 ......"

As the image gradually improves, there are fewer and fewer adaptive starships.

Finally, as a pitch-black starship appeared on the screen in its entirety, Laura said: "The target is determined to be a Kimilo-type starship, and there are twelve starships for adaptation." ”

"Remove starships that are on combat mission, starships that are more than two light-years away." Reynolds said.

"Remove the target and find the matching target. Starship Radiance, the flagship of the Razak Garrison Fleet. ”

"Call up all the ships of the garrison fleet, including the fleet commander." Renault continued to order.

"The data is being exported. The Razak garrison fleet had forty-two ships, including one mothership, ten battleships, sixteen frigates, and twenty-eight advance ships. Commander Lieutenant General Rackard Hansen, a graduate of the Red Devil Military Academy, is now seventy-eight years old, who participated in the Black Sea Star Field War and was awarded the Silver Cross Hero ......"

"He's a tough guy." Renault whispered.

The Medal of Heroes of the Federation is not easy to obtain, it is not only for meritorious service, but also for the way of meritorious service, and only soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in tough battles can receive the Medal of Heroes.

As the information continued to gather, Renault had a rough idea of the enemy who was chasing him.

"Sir, they're sending us a message asking for a call." The flying officer said loudly.

"The request has passed."

The next moment, a resolute and powerful face appeared on the holographic screen, and it was Lieutenant General Hansen.

Although he is seventy-eight years old, he looks like a middle-aged man, his eyes are bright, and his voice is powerful.

He said, "Jonny Reno? ”

"Yes, Lieutenant General Hansen."

Lieutenant General Hansen clasped up his hands: "Then I think you already know what I mean." By order of the Supreme Council of the Federal Government, I arrest you and your soldiers for treason. Please stop flying immediately, and I promise to give you security assurances and to make a statement to the Supreme Council confirming that you have surrendered voluntarily. ”

Renault smiled, he put his hand under the table, and made a few gestures, Snyder understood, turned his head and began to give instructions.

The Abrody began to slow down, falling from the forward position of the fleet to the rear of the temple.

At the same time, Renault said: "You know it's impossible, Lieutenant General Hansen. We are not guilty, it is the federal government that has driven us to this point. It was they who betrayed us, betrayed humanity! ”

Lieutenant General Hansen replied: "I have heard some rumors about you, and I have deep sympathy for what happened to you. But that doesn't justify your betrayal of the Federation. ”

"Betrayal of the Federation? No, we're just running for freedom. Renault replied. Snyder took a sketchpad, wrote on it, and presented it to Renault.

Renault made a few more gestures.

Hansen said: "It seems that it doesn't make sense. Even though I knew this would be the case, I still feel extremely sorry. You are wonderful soldiers who could have done more for humanity. But now, I have to open fire on you. May God forgive me and prepare to unleash gravitational waves. ”

In the end, he is not a professional negotiator, and after a few words, Lieutenant General Hansen is ready to fight.

Gravitational waves are used to interfere with faster-than-light flight, and in faster-than-light flight, most of the attacks are difficult to be effective, and live ammunition is not as fast as starships, even if it is an energy attack, it cannot attack the target in the first place, and the fleet has plenty of time to evade.

So in a faster-than-light chase battle, the first thing to do is to slow down the opponent.

Gravitational waves create obstacles for the starship's faster-than-light flight, and under faster-than-light flight, every bit of gravitational pull is multiplied and forms an unimaginably large mass, thus burdening the starship. If you don't want the starship to fall apart, you have to quit as soon as possible.

Although the distance of seventy-two light hours is a bit far, the Radiance is equipped with a powerful gravitational generator, which is enough to have a certain effect on the fleet of the Free Heart at this distance.

Although the impact will not be significant, it is certain that the fleet flight will increase the load as a result, and their speed will be slowed down as a result, and the garrison fleet will be able to close the distance and further expand the gravitational effect.

The two fleets will move close to each other like magnets until one side is overwhelmed and leaps faster than the speed of light, and then a great battle will break out.

The old general's approach is as resolute, resolute, brave and full of impact.

However, at the same time as the gravitational wave started, Renault suddenly said: "The Kimilo-type starship is a heavy starship with strong air combat capabilities, but it is not a speed strength, right?" ”

The old general was stunned: "What do you want to say?" ”

Renault laughed, "In order to catch up with us, the Radiance must have struggled to feed." As a starship that has been in service for many years and has an ancient model, this must be a great burden on it. ”

The old general's eyes shone with a sharp brilliance: "Maybe." The Radiance is a little old, but it's still very useful. ”

"It depends on who you compare yourself to. As a starship ordered to infiltrate the rear of the Protoss on a mission, the Abrody is currently the most outstanding Overlord-class starship in the Federation, and it has many functions, such as...... Create a hyperspace storm in a small area. ”

Renault snapped his fingers suddenly.

With this snap of his fingers, the faster-than-light transition zone suddenly exploded into a powerful space storm.

The storm emanated from the tail behind Abrodi, and as soon as it appeared, it swept towards the entire rear, and even the entire spatial passage began to tremble.

Even though it was still far enough away from the storm, at that moment the Ray felt a huge tide of energy from ahead.

"There is an energy storm in the channel, which leads to an energy imbalance and the gravitational waves are unusable." The Radiant pilot said loudly.

"Calculate storm area and duration!" The old general calmly ordered.

"It is being calculated, preliminary judgment, that the storm will not go away until we arrive."

"Can you force your way through?"

"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult, sir, the Radiant is already at full capacity, and forcing it through it will likely lead to an energy overload...... This bastard, the storm of energy it unleashes is right on our tolerance limit. ”

"In other words, the only way we can do it now is to jump, right?"

“…… Yes sir, but in that case, we will lose their current trajectory. The young pilot replied: "We will no longer be able to lock him until there is new news." ”

"I don't need any new information, I know where they're going." Looking at the storm that spread throughout the passage, Lieutenant General Hansen said:

"Condon!"
