Chapter 1162: Unable to Contact!
Fox Xin'er looked at the interstellar sandbox in front of her.
As you can see, sporadic red signals have appeared around the perimeter of the interstellar sandbox. These red signals are very weak, but their numbers are increasing at an alarming rate.
Based on these characteristics, it can be basically concluded that this is the interstellar Zerg!
Hu Xin'er is currently located in a military starport.
They are responsible for this section of the Zerg nest defense line.
However, in theory, this place is still some distance from the front line of defense.
Even if the enemy infiltrated, it would be impossible for them to encircle this military starport in such a short time.
This is all very wrong.
unless!
Fox Xin'er thought of a certain possibility.
She frowned!
If that's really the case, then the frontline defenses here are in serious trouble!
"We've made contact with the rear!" Hu Xin'er asked her secretary.
"Communication signals are being interfered with, and we are unable to contact our headquarters!" Beads of sweat were already forming on the secretary's forehead.
Hu Xin'er remained silent, if this was indeed a military operation prepared by the other side.
Those things will definitely be taken into account.
At that moment, she felt as if an invisible hand had enveloped the battlefield.
"Keep in touch."
At the same time, several interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships were deployed to find a way to sneak out and remain hidden.
I will give them a document.
"Once we're out of the range of communication interference, immediately send this document back to our hometown," Hu Xin'er said in a deep voice.
"yes."
Hu Xin'er opened the command channel.
Fortunately, long-distance quantum communication was disrupted, but short-distance communication networks are still usable.
"The Fourth Legion, subordinate to the Third Legion Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder, is hereby ordered."
The Zerg have attacked our defenses, but we do not know how many of them there are.
The enemy also used some means to cut off our communication with our hometown.
Meanwhile, they have also used some means to surround our Zerg Defense Line III military starport.
We currently have very little intelligence about the enemy.
But I know one thing: the enemy is here to devour us. Fox Xin'er clenched her fists, and she seemed to see that figure in her eyes.
That figure she had always been chasing.
Fox Xin'er said in a deep voice, "This is the first stop for our legion after being incorporated into the Third Legion Fleet Group of the Wyvern."
This could also be the first battle since the establishment of our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
Anyway.
Our final orders were to hold this position and absolutely not let these insects break through this defense line.
All fleets under the legion are ready for battle.
Prepare to meet the enemy!
"receive!"
The fleet commanders responded in the command channel.
Some people may be nervous, some may be worried, and some may be afraid.
However, when the situation is truly unfolding before our eyes...
Their identities and the military uniforms they wore compelled them to do what they were supposed to do!
Because this is the responsibility of a soldier of the Wyvern Interstellar Empire.
Hu Xin'er looked at the interstellar sand table and saw that a circular encirclement had formed around the military port!
It was airtight.
It is impossible to know exactly how many of these insects there are.
------
The strange situation at the Zerg nest defense line was quickly learned by the people at the Falcon Dragon base.
It was reported to Zhao Chen.
"Still can't get in touch?" Zhao Chen asked Lilith, the secretary.
Lilith shook her head and said solemnly, "There is strong signal interference and spatial interference in the target area."
Not only is long-distance quantum communication impossible, but even spatial jumps are impossible!
Zhao Chen stared intently at the northern end of the interstellar sandbox, at the Zerg nest defense line.
"How many places are out of contact?" Zhao Chen asked.
Lilith tapped a few spots on the interstellar sandbox with her finger.
"We previously built more than 30 large T3 Stormfortress-class starports on this side of the Zerg hive defense line."
It is specifically handled by the Third Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder.
Currently, five Stormfortress starports have lost contact.
At the same time, these areas all experienced communication failures. Lilith turned several areas gray, indicating that these were areas without communication.
"These five Stormfortress starports have also lost contact."
There are also nearly 100,000 interstellar warships.
This mainly includes the Fourth Legion Fleet under the Third Legion Fleet Group of the Xiaolong Army, which was under the command of Hu Xin'er, and a portion of the Third Legion Fleet commanded by Wei Shishi.
Commander Medusa of the Third Fleet Group has dispatched the nearest Starfleet to investigate the situation around these areas where contact has been lost.
But it will still take some time.
However, it can be roughly deduced that it was the Zerg who made the move.
Zhao Chen said in a deep voice, "We all know that it was the Zerg who made the move."
But how did they make their move, how many Zerg fleets did they have, and how were they planning to fight?
We didn't know any of this.
After a pause, Zhao Chen said with a sharp look in his eyes, "Moreover, this deployment gives people the feeling that it is completely unlike the interstellar Zerg combat style."
In the past, the Zerg in StarCraft mostly used swarm tactics.
This directly puts pressure on the entire defensive line, with a large army pressing in!
But like now, they launch surprise attacks on several points while simultaneously interfering with communication signals to prevent space jumps.
This is nothing like the Zerg of the past.
"It is indeed very strange."
But now, we have no other choice.
"We can only wait for news from the front lines," Lilith said.
Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte, who hadn't said a word.
Charlotte, what are your thoughts?
Charlotte looked up and said in a low voice, "I think we can't wait."
Because spatial warp-through is not possible in the target area.
That means our Xiaolong Empire fleet has lost one of its trump card tactics, a means of directly relying on T4 Huiguang-class interstellar warships for support.
Therefore, we can only make advance preparations.
If we wait until everything is clear...
I think the Zerg hive defenses have probably already fallen by more than half.
"But we don't have any intelligence right now."
"We've never fought a battle like this before, with no chance of winning!" Lilith said with some concern.
Charlotte stated bluntly, "In the past, we relied on our intelligence advantage and the few trump cards we had to make preparations early on."
That's because the enemy and our side are in different positions now.
Now, we are the Dragon Star Empire.
We are a target.
The enemy is a mysterious and powerful order.
That means they have a lot of tricks up their sleeves when it comes to dealing with us.
Therefore, we will encounter more and more similar battlefield environments that are unfavorable to us in the future.
In other words
Future battles will be even more difficult.
All we can do is get used to it and adapt." Charlotte looked at Zhao Chen and said firmly, "I suggest..."
Let's not wait for detailed information about the Zerg hive defenses.
Send reinforcements directly there.
The undead crisis has caused some unrest within the empire.
There can be no more problems on the northern border!
Zhao Chen nodded: "I agree with your opinion."
So what should we do next?
"We currently have no main fleet groups that we can mobilize."
Furthermore, given the lack of information about the enemy, even if we have to take risks, we cannot invest too much.
Therefore, it would be best to deploy our elite fleet.
Charlotte directly named, "I suggest that I personally lead the Reverse Scale Ace Fleet, Su Lan's Starry Sky Queen Ace Fleet, and Bai Xue's Hell Angel Ace Fleet."
Three elite fleets headed together towards the northern Zerg hive defenses.
As for how to fight, and how to fight.
Let's go and see.
The remaining two elite fleet groups remained on standby at home.
We will wait for further developments on each battlefield before making further arrangements.
Charlotte had considered everything very thoroughly.
"Alright, we'll do as you say," Zhao Chen agreed.
"Then I will arrange for the subsequent transfer of combat supplies to the northern Zerg hive defense line."
Since it's about fighting the Zerg, the battlefield consumption must be huge.
At that time, some common battlefield supplies can be directly transferred from the industrial factories of the Demon and Angel races.
I had already done the statistics and formulated a production plan beforehand.
"Just distribute them to these industrial factories," Lilith said from the side.
Although she disliked this battlefield situation that was out of her control.
But now that the whole plan has been finalized...
Lilith will then provide the best support plan for the current situation.
"This is a warning shot from the order."
This was also the first real war for our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
"Don't let those outsiders look down on us!" Zhao Chen said solemnly.
"yes!"
------
Subsequently, several elite fleet groups began to move rapidly.
Since direct spatial jump is not possible, we might as well use a stargate to go to the largest stargate in the northern Zerg hive defense line and then make further arrangements.
As the Emperor, Zhao Chen boarded the temporary flagship T6 Rakshasa Hades-class interstellar dreadnought and followed Charlotte's Reverse Scale Ace Fleet to the northern Zerg hive defense line.
As for the household matters, they were left to Lilith to handle.
The calamity caused by the star explosion on the side of the Judgment Angels has not yet ended.
Therefore, someone needs to keep an eye on things.
When Zhao Chen rode the Rakshasa Underworld King through the stargate and successfully arrived at the largest stargate in the northern insect hive defense line...
Zhao Chen also received the latest battlefield news.
It was Medusa, the supreme commander of the Third Fleet Group, who personally reported to Zhao Chen.
"Your Majesty."
The Zerg launched an attack on several of our key defensive hubs ten hours ago.
At the same time, they deployed communication jamming and space jamming.
This prevented us from communicating with our own fleet on the battlefield in a timely manner.
Space interference also prevents us from using stargates and space jumps within the battlefield area.
This had a significant impact on our battlefield command.
Currently, there are starports in five battlefield areas.
We have made brief contact with three of them.
They have all been attacked by a large number of Zerg, but so far things are going relatively smoothly.
Relying on our military starport and the garrisoned Legion fleet, combat supplies were arranged well in advance.
There shouldn't be any major problems for at least fifty combat hours.
Medusa also released several images taken by an interstellar stealth reconnaissance ship.
Those images were not battlefield scenes.
Instead, they were several insectoid creatures that had never been seen before.
The first scene is a very beautiful one.
In a starry sky, you can see tiny, glowing dots.
The feeling was like fireflies in the wild at night.
"We have found this creature."
They resemble fireflies in appearance and are very numerous.
After our interstellar stealth reconnaissance ship approached and observed the area, it discovered that this might be the culprit interfering with our long-range quantum communications.
But there are just too many of them.
Moreover, they are scattered across many galaxies, making it extremely difficult to clean them up in a short period of time.
Medusa then pointed to the second image.
If the first image still possesses a certain aesthetic appeal...
The second scene can only be described as bizarre.
The second screen is a video.
The video background is also a starry sky.
There was nothing in the starry sky before, but suddenly a misty, insect-shaped creature appeared out of nowhere!
It appears and disappears, like a fish swimming in the ocean.
"This creature was also spotted by chance by our interstellar stealth reconnaissance ship."
It is a Zerg unit that does not have a physical form.
Our interplanetary stealth reconnaissance ship used some of its shipborne weapons in an attack.
But the results were not good.
It escaped very quickly.
We suspect that this might be a semi-physical being capable of traversing between the main space and dimensional space.
It is precisely because of its existence that spatial stability is disrupted.
This prevents us from making spatial jumps.
At this moment, Medusa pointed to the third picture, her expression becoming even more serious: "The Zerg units in this third picture."
It has the biggest impact on us.
The effect is somewhat similar to our warp interceptor.
If a starship traveling normally were to come into contact with it, it would have no effect.
However, it explodes when a starship travels at warp speed near it.
The explosion was powerful enough to destroy a T3 starship and severely damage a T4 starship.
If there are many Zerg units in the area, even a T5 starship will suffer.
We only discovered this after paying the price of losing an entire fleet.
Charlotte, upon hearing this, was clearly more interested in the Zerg units in the third image.
Zhao Chen took a look.
It resembled a green lantern, suspended among the stars.
"It's also because of the existence of this thing."
That's why we didn't dare to immediately send fleets to support those starport battlefields.
"A slight misstep could cause us enormous losses!" Medusa said, frowning.
Charlotte nodded, seemingly supporting Medusa's actions.
"Then, as for why these Zerg were suddenly able to surround those starports."
I also found a clue.
"I suspect these Zerg possess a means of directly deploying Zerg fleets over long distances!" Medusa said with a serious expression.
Remotely deploy Zerg fleets?
At that moment, both Zhao Chen and Charlotte's pupils dilated in shock.
Compared to the previous three Zerg tactics.
This last one is the most threatening.
If the Zerg possessed the ability to freely deploy Zerg fleets within the territory of the Xyzrung Star Empire.
That was undoubtedly a nightmare!
