But it was said that Nten Gelhan and Prince Yangshu Qilan were playing chess, and the two were in the mood, but they were interrupted by a sudden shout.

But I saw a prince's guard trotting towards him, holding the latest information in his hand - although they were all cultivators, 'trot' was a kind of etiquette and a sign of respect for the superiors.

Prince Yangshu Qilan's face changed—not nervous, but angry. Just now, he was about to close the dragon completely, and was about to kill the great dragon of Nten Gelhan, but he was disturbed.

However, the prince is the prince, and he quickly calmed down, and he glanced at the information, and his face changed greatly.

First of all, the prince can be sure that the front will never dare to report false information indiscriminately. So this information is true! Those small countries around really have a fleet that dares to attack Yangshu!

But then the prince reacted: if the small countries around him had the courage to attack, they would not have dragged on until now. I can't say that I glanced at the information again, and suddenly saw a few key details:

The speed was super fast, and the information from the front line only came after the fleet attacked;

The fleet attack was powerful, and a wave of attacks shattered the second star of the Burnt Wood Star Cluster, not to mention, and almost completely destroyed the garrison here of the second star;

The fleet's warships are slender and sharp as a whole, not the thick and short shape of a long sword, which has never been seen before;

The ship's tail flame has a unique color, showing the appearance of a continuous fireball (the tail flame unique to pulse engines) instead of the traditional tail flame;

Also, the means of attack seem to be very unfamiliar.

These details made Yang Shu Qilan's face quickly solemn: "This fleet ...... Where did it come from? ”

As he spoke, he threw the information to General Nten Gelhan.

Then Prince Yangshu Chilan ordered the formation of a fleet and prepared it for the attack. At this moment, Yangshu Qilan was a little lucky, fortunately, because of the sneak attack on the Great Xia Empire by the main force of Yangshu Kingdom, his side had already asked the fleet to prepare in advance, otherwise it would be troublesome.

As for the fact that Star 2 was blown up and the defenders there were destroyed, there was no need to think about it for the time being.

But when Yangshu Qilan's side was ready, the information came again: "Your Highness, it's not good, the third star has been blown up, and the fleet stationed on the third star has been wiped out." This time, I found out that the other party has a Da Luo Jin Immortal!"

"Da Luo Jinxian!" Enten Gerhan exclaimed, "Your Highness, the situation is not right! This fleet is by no means organized by the surrounding small countries. ”

But Yang Shu Qilan thought of more, and he said with some eagerness: "When Star No. 2 was attacked, didn't Star No. 3 get information? How could it be completely annihilated?"

The guard replied very calmly: "Your Highness: According to the personnel who transmitted the information, they had just received the information, and before they had time to reorganize their army, the attack came! The enemy's attack speed even exceeded our information transmission speed.

Specifically, when Star 2 was attacked, information was transmitted. However, after the enemy had finished fighting the second star, he arrived at the third star almost at the same time as the news. ”

Nten Gelhan and Yangshu Chilan glanced at each other, and both saw the shock in their eyes. The speed of the fleet's attack turned out to be faster than the speed of Yang Shuguo's emergency military intelligence communications.

Just as he was stunned, another guard ran over and shouted: "Your Highness, news has come from the Eastern Defense Line that a strange fleet has appeared, and the number of fleets under preliminary observation is less than 100 million. But because of the speed and distance, it is not real. However, according to empirical estimates, it is about seventy or eighty million.

The message was sent 5 hours and 3 minutes ago. ”

Yangshu Qilan waved his hand, did not receive the information, but smiled bitterly: "If you call back to the front line, you will say that you don't need to report." Stars two and three have already been attacked. At the moment, because the invading fleet is too fast, we no longer know where the other side is going. ”

Guards:......

Why didn't I understand it?

The general next to him, Nten Gelhan, stammered a little: "Your Highness...... I think that since the other party did not attack the No. 1 star, that is, we here, we should not want to do things in a desperate way. Then Star One is safe for the time being.

However, according to the connection of the No. 2 and No. 3 stars, the opponent's next attack target may be the No. 6 star. But I'm afraid that by the time we reach Star Six, it will be too late. I think we should intercept it at Star Eight.

In addition, it is necessary to interrogate all parties, investigate the traces of the other party, and surround and intercept them. Don't try to bring much damage to the other party, at least reduce the speed of the other party and buy time. ”

After all, Nten Gelhan was the commander of the Burnt Wood Cluster, and he quickly got into the groove.

Yangshu Qilan nodded to Enten Gelhan and said, "No need to ask. Now you are the supreme wartime commander, and this king must obey the command. Go ahead and arrange it. ”

"Yes. "Nten Gelhan is not arrogant, Yangshu Qilan is not only a prince, but also a great Luo Jinxian!

There is a very peculiar phenomenon in large interstellar empires: the masters of the royal family are often not the emperor himself, but the prince and so on. Emperors have a lot of things to do, and it is difficult to meditate and practice, but on the contrary, princes and others have abundant resources and few things, so they can meditate and practice and make breakthroughs as soon as possible.

And Yangshu Qilan is the master sent by the Yangshu Empire to guard the Burnt Chai Star Cluster. As the ancestral land of Yangshu and the birthplace of civilization, the importance of the Burnt Chai Star Cluster is self-evident.

The ensuing military operation was entirely orchestrated by Nten Gelhan. Sure enough, as expected, the unknown invasion fleet was speeding all the way, and by the time the legions here on Star One began to accelerate, they had already broken through Star Six. Needless to say, another killing.

According to the last message from Star Six, the invading fleet really advanced in a straight line and headed straight for Star Eight.

The Burnt Wood Cluster is not small, with as many as 3,000 planets of life, but it can't withstand such losses. Calculating the time, in less than 22 hours before and after, and in less than a day, three life novas were destroyed, and they were all relatively important life planets!

In fact, at this moment, Enten Gerhan is a little numb. As a commander-in-chief, what you are most afraid of is not a war of attrition, a battle of fortifications, etc., but you are afraid of this - you know that there is an enemy, but you can't find any trace of the other party.

Don't look at Enten Gerhan's swear that the enemy will attack Star Eight, but he is not sure. Put yourself in their shoes: after attacking three targets in a row, the enemy has a little mind but has a little sense, and it is time to change the direction of attack.

The starry sky is vast, but considering the strong initial velocity of the opposing fleet, its attack direction should still be around Star 8. But that's also a full 7 star systems!

But since there is no direction, it is better to continue to move towards Star Eight than to do nothing. In order to speed up the fleet as soon as possible, Nten Gelhan even asked Yangshu Qilan to personally lead the master and provide magical support to the battleship.

With the blessing of cultivation methods, the fleet quickly approached 0.3 times the speed of light. The masters returned to their ships and waited for the time travel to begin.

"That's not right...... The enemy should have a direction of attack!" "Advancing for a moment, while the fleet was still accelerating, Enten Gerhan suddenly reacted, the enemy will never attack indiscriminately!

Although it is not yet certain where the enemy came from, Enten Gerhan already has some ideas, albeit a little bizarre. But in any case, the enemy is definitely running from a distance.

Long-range attacks must have a clear purpose, or goal. Often the goal and the purpose coincide - in order to achieve a certain goal, a certain object must be destroyed.

Enteng Gelhan, who calmed down, began to analyze: "The enemy must have a target and will not attack indiscriminately, otherwise I will be sorry for their ultra-long-range attack."

And the biggest goal should be to attack us, disrupt us here, and fight for opportunities for the Great Xia Empire. ”

"Why for the Great Xia Empire?" asked Prince Yangshu Qilan.

"Because the only people around us who dare to attack us are the Blue Star Group, or allies of the Great Xia Empire. The fleet coming from the east may be the fleet of the Blue Star Group!"

"Come from the east......" Yang Shu Qilan's eyes narrowed as he looked at the star map, "How is it possible?" The Kyushu Empire, which is closest to the Blue Star Group in the east, is also more than seven thousand light years. Although the Blue Star Group has a technology for interstellar high-speed channels, it has not been laid!"

Nten Gerhan pondered, "There are two possibilities. One is that they've already gotten out, and the other is that they've got new technology! I think the second one is the most likely.

Now the Blue Star Group is under a lot of pressure, and it is impossible to prepare for a sneak attack on us in advance and find more enemies for themselves. And if you sneak up on us, you should also attack the Celestial Star Cluster where the imperial capital is located. Therefore, the attack of the other side is more like hasty preparations.

On the other hand, the Bluestar Group's technology has developed rapidly over the years, and we have also observed that the status of their spacecraft is different. Maybe it's really some kind of new technology!"

"New technology...... So when did they start to set out? After we attacked the Great Xia Empire? If we calculate it like this, it will be 75 to 76 days of Zhou Tiantian Universal Standard Time.

It always takes time for the Great Xia Empire to send a signal for help. I heard that Bluestar Group has compressed the communication time to more than 20,000 light years per month. Then it will take at least half a month for the signal to reach the headquarters of Bluestar Group.

Even if the Blue Star Group received a call for help, it would span more than 7,000 light years in two months...... Is this possible?"

Nten Gerhan was silent, he also felt that something was impossible. Even if technology has advanced, this speed is a bit outrageous. And judging from the news of the temporary internal attack, the speed of this sudden appearance of the fleet is about 1160 light years per month.

Considering that speed will be affected in actual warfare, the actual speed should not exceed 1600 light-years per month.

However, although it was still uncertain, the fleet still flew in the direction of Star 8, a little northerly. Nten Gerhan thinks that the other party will definitely attack one of the two targets in the north of Star Eight.

In Enten Gelhan's deduction, the other party will definitely set out to the north and attack the Celestial Star Cluster, where the imperial capital is located. Only in this way can the entire Yangshu country be disturbed.

The enemy's target is 100% the imperial capital!
