Chapter 410 Surprised and Frightened
As the transport fleet got closer to the planet Chaher, the spacecraft began to decelerate and brake at a simple speed of light, so the spacecraft shook a bit, but Tang Long's uneasiness became more intense.
"The answer lies ahead." Stotan said: "As long as we pass through this red nebula area, we will reach our destination. The planet in front is the abandoned planet Chaher. Let's solve the mystery."
When passing through the red nebula area, Tang Long discovered that his transport fleet actually appeared on the back of the Chaher planet. In other words, it was not illuminated by stars yet and was completely dark.
Stotan's high-speed battleship stayed in the high-altitude orbit of the planet Chahel, and the detection satellite also showed that there was nothing unusual about the planet.
"We need to go to the other side of the planet to have a look." Tang Long said, "This is the dark side of the planet and cannot be landed on."
Stotan agreed with Tang Long's view, and he immediately issued an order to organize a cruise fleet. This transport fleet also included a large regular coalition force, which was enough to deal with sudden small and medium-scale wars.
The cruise wing was operated by the Space Force, and its commander, Major Mike Tang Long, was also included in it. Anyway, Tang Long knew that following Stotan would not do anything good, so he watched the Space Soldier board the cruise armor with complicated emotions, and also
There is a lot of equipment: frigates, cruisers, and Banshee fighter jets.
"The Federation prohibits any troops from cruising and landing on any abandoned planets, mainly to avoid radiation. Remember, our original purpose is scientific investigation."
Tang Long felt that this was not a scientific investigation, but a combat exercise in which the army was fully equipped.
"I hope it's just a drill." Tang Long muttered to himself, a little confused by this posture.
"This is not a drill." A voice came from behind Tang Long. When Tang Long looked back, it turned out to be Major Mike. Major Mike was tall, thin, with short light-colored hair, and his movements were elegant and agile. He was a very popular type among women.
.
"This is the regular equipment of the space combat team, Your Excellency Tang Long." Mike looked at Tang Long up and down and said with a grin. "Who knows what we will encounter? Do you know?"
Tang Long shook his head.
Mike patted Tang Long's shoulder in a friendly manner and continued: "Let's go, you and I take a Banshee fighter plane, don't forget your equipment."
The air-locked cabin of the high-speed fleet opened, and the transport planes roared and flew towards the battleships carrying the space fleet. In space, Tang Long saw that the planet looked very desolate through the ultraviolet night vision telescope. From the surface, there was no
What signs of life.
Mike's driving skills were very good, and he carried Tang Long in a gliding manner towards the sunny area of the planet Chaher. In outer space, Tang Long saw many broken meteorites. It was as if they were smashed by something, unlike
It is the natural state.
"Hey, what is that? Come closer." Tang Long suddenly shouted, pointing with his right hand at a black thing in the meteorite area.
Major Mike had no choice but to carry Tang Long to fly towards that thing, while the large force was already slowly moving towards Xiangyang District. When the Banshee fighter plane approached the black thing, Tang Long looked at the thing carefully and the appearance of the transport ship.
The creature that hatched from the egg is exactly the same!
Its chest seemed to have been forcibly torn open by something, and thick liquid flowed out, floating in space. Several legs on its abdomen were shaking, not knowing whether to live or die. Tang Long noticed that it also had a pair of huge teeth, capable of destruction.
teeth.
"It's this thing," Tang Long said: "It can actually survive in space. Even though it was so seriously injured." His mind sank, and he had a premonition of something bad happening.
"Major, call your soldiers back immediately. This planet must be the nest of this kind of creature."
However, before Tang Long finished speaking, at this moment, the soldier on the screen suddenly let out a scream, which attracted Tang Long and Mike to look back.
"Damn! There are so many of them!" The image on the screen began to shake, and dense black dots actually surrounded the cruise fleet.
"Fire, fire!"
Nothing could be seen on the screen, only chaotic and noisy sounds, screams, and curses mixed with the firing of starry sky pulse cannons, and the entire space was filled with artillery fire.
Mike piloted the Banshee fighter jet and quickly approached the cruise fleet, and shouted into the communicator: "Squadron, assemble, quickly!"
"What do you want to do?" Tang Long followed him and asked.
"What?" Mike stared at Tang Long and said, "Kill them."
"Waiting for Stotan's fleet to support..." Tang Long said.
"It's too late." Mike glanced at his watch and said, "This is a communication barrier area. There are still several hours until the communication time. We will launch our own counterattack. We cannot lose to these bugs."
"I'm coming too." Tang Long said briefly: "Although I can't fight in outer space, I was once a volunteer and know how to control anti-aircraft turrets."
Mike looked at Tang Long approvingly and patted his shoulder. It is very simple for two men to establish friendship.
But when they actually returned to the cruise fleet, they suddenly discovered that the enemy they were fighting was not a Zerg at all, but a group of powerful purple-black battleships with a strange appearance, and many of them were scarred.
In front of us is a star field that covers an area of more than a hundred kilometers, and is covered with countless biological remains and warship wreckage, indicating that this place has just experienced a thrilling and tragic space battle.
Colonel Mike and Tang Long both took a breath of cold air. Looking at this situation, it seemed that their side had been inserted into the battle between two powerful forces.
However, looking at this situation, it seems that the only ones left alive are these purple-black battleships, and they are extremely vicious and immediately pounce on their own cruiser battleships like mad dogs.
Mike thought nervously and suddenly ordered: "Gather the fleet and form a dense formation."
"Major." Tang Long said cautiously: "Dense formations can easily lead to attacks."
"I know." Major Mike didn't even look at him. He crossed his shoulders and said, "The left wing fleet moves to the left and breaks away from the main fleet!"
He ordered again. A plan gradually formed in Mike's mind. When he deployed high-speed battleships, he wanted to use more flexible and maneuverable tactics to attack the enemy.
His intention is to use the Central Group fleet to advance to the front of the enemy's defense, and then use artillery fire to strike the enemy violently but briefly. This strike will induce the opponent's wings to shrink toward the center, and then use the speed of the high-speed battleship to quickly break away. Continue to lure the enemy to pursue, and then let the left wing fleet break through the enemy's shrinking flank, go around to the rear, and launch an attack from the enemy's most vulnerable rear.
Major Mike commanded calmly, and no one noticed his anxiety.
"General, the enemy ship has begun to move." the observation station reported.
In the three-dimensional image, the purple-black battleship group is gradually closing in, with the right wing moving closer to the center, but the left wing instead unfolding to the outside, forming two asymmetrical wings. It is as beautiful as an angel extending one wing and retracting the other.
Obviously, the opponent saw through his ruse. As soon as Major Mike's left wing disappeared, he immediately adopted an unconventional and equally creative defensive posture. Major Mike had to admire the enemy general's talent.
But even so, the cruise fleet's pulse cannons swept down, and the purple-black battleship group also slipped away one after another, falling like meteors to the land of the planet Chaher.
These warships had suffered serious damage and had not yet been repaired. Of course, they were swept to the ground by pulse cannons.
"Major!" Suddenly, a frightened voice came from the observation station, as if something terrible had happened.
"Major, our rear, our rear!" he yelled at the top of his lungs, as if he was losing his mind. "The fleet, the fleet, is behind us, they are behind us!"
"What?" Mike's face suddenly turned red and then turned white. "Why was there no warning?"
"No quantum wave interference detected."
"This is impossible." Major Mike was confused and murmured, "They can't appear without warning. This... this is impossible."
"Major, it's not the fleet...I...I don't know what it is...it's too strange..." Excited and unclear words came from the observation station. Mike suspected that the soldier had been frightened and started talking nonsense. language.
However, Tang Long's mind suddenly thought of that insect monster with sharp teeth and claws: "Could it be them?"
"Major, I'm sending you the image. I've never seen anything like this."
The three-dimensional image was transmitted in. Many biological battleships appeared on the screen. They appeared rough, thick, and glowing with a dark luster. The light was surging, as if there was life, and the huge ship was spraying thick water like a sea fish. The breath, full of wild beauty, has simply reached the highest state of combining aesthetics and biology.
