In the intelligence center of the "Jupiter" reconnaissance ship, Captain Mulla looked at the two flashing light spots and said nothing for a long time.

The duty officer was right, the red dot was still moving, and the moving direction was exactly the area where she was.

"Stop cruising in orbit, send out unknown object approaching warnings step by step, copy the target characteristics and directions to the Legion's forward fleet, and request support!"

"yes!"

After Mulla's order was issued, the atmosphere in the intelligence center immediately became tense, and the officers in charge of reconnaissance began to mobilize resources to prioritize the reconnaissance of this unknown object.

"It's strange. The other party's signal seems to have been deliberately hidden. Could it be that a signal-blocking device has been turned on? The echo is very weak."

The adjutant said with some confusion as he looked at the continuously gathering investigation data.

"Stealth technology?" Mulla asked.

"Not sure. It's two astronomical units away from us. Judging from the trajectory, it's a heavy formation of about 70 ships.

I have sent out a handshake recognition, but the other party's system does not respond. It is not our formation, or at least it is not a fleet in my Red Army formation."

"Captain, the forward army just responded and confirmed that this echo signal does not belong to our army. Based on some signal characteristics, it is judged that it does not belong to the black armored army. It is an unidentified fleet.

The forward army ordered us to wait where we are. They are reinforcing here and are expected to arrive in 5 minutes.

Also, it is estimated that this abnormal situation has been reported to the temporary command headquarters, and new orders may arrive soon!"

After the adjutant finished speaking, Mulla nodded, "We are a reconnaissance ship. If there is a fight, we can only retreat. However, there is still a distance between the two sides. It is our unshirkable responsibility to provide the most accurate intelligence.

All crew members must concentrate, not miss a single detail, and be sure to determine the other party’s true intentions.”

"Yes!" the officers replied loudly. Although the atmosphere was a bit tense, this reply still demonstrated the well-trained training of the Black Armored Legion.

...

On the "Kunpeng" starship located in the temporary base camp in the northern hemisphere of Star E, Kane and other senior generals of the "Red Army" were urgently summoned to the command center.

After reading the emergency information coming from the front, they all fell into deep thought. For a while, the entire command center was filled with the sound of "didi" control and the low-frequency noise coming from the operation and prompts of various instruments...

"According to the exercise plan, the Lord's Blue Army should still be on Mars at this moment, right? There's not enough time to assemble, so why is there an unknown fleet here?

Could it be a machine..."

"Don't rush to conclusions. It's too early to say this now." Kane interrupted Deputy Commander Hearn. Although he had this idea just now, his reason told him that the possibility was extremely low.

"Commander Kane, I suggest reporting this situation to Mars Base Camp immediately to confirm whether it is indeed an unknown fleet." Staff Yin looked at Kane and suggested.

"Huh? Do you still need to confirm this? The electronic signature of the opposing battleship is unfamiliar, and at this point in time, we should be the only ones here!"

"That is secondary. What I mean is that we should report this situation and see what the base camp says whether we want to terminate the exercise!"

"Well, Hearn, please contact the base camp immediately. It's best to speak directly to the lord and report the sudden situation here to him."

"Okay,,,no, it's a bit impossible to contact the lord, right? According to the rules, he is now the commander-in-chief of the Blue Army, and we cannot contact him directly."

Just as Hearn was about to leave, he suddenly remembered this bug.

"This,,, I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me, so let me go. It seems that I need to use the first-level communication authority."

After Kane finished speaking, he stood up. He walked to the side, took out his communication device, and after some authorization, uploaded the information here to the highest-level intelligence log in the simplest words.

"Level 1 communication authority? It seems that the confidentiality level is very high?" Staff Officer Yin asked in a low voice to Deputy Commander Hearn next to him.

"Very high? Extremely high! There are no more than 5 people in the entire Black Armored Legion who have the right to view this log. You can do the math yourself."

After Hearn finished speaking, he looked towards Commander Kane. Kane did not come back immediately. He seemed to be waiting for a reply from the base camp...

[The base camp is aware that the 1st and 2nd legions have found out the size of the unknown fleet and can try to establish contact with the other party while ensuring their own safety.

The 34th Army Corps is gathering, and it will take three days at the earliest. You can formulate a strategic plan accordingly.

If there are any changes or emergencies, please report to the base camp immediately.]

The base camp did not keep Kane waiting for a long time and replied after two minutes. Kane looked at the message of less than 100 words for three minutes.

He confirmed that the message was sent from the base camp, but this tone reminded Kane of Chu Ge, and he even suspected that his lord was sitting and looking at this log screen like him.

"Can you keep calm? Well, it's useless if you can't keep calm. It's really too late according to the plan..."

Kane muttered something and returned to Staff Yin and his companions.

"The base camp has responded. Let us deal with it carefully. The 34th Army Corps is gathering and it will take some time."

"That's right. According to the plan, the time for them to assemble has not yet come. It will take three days at the fastest to gather the second-level legions that are scattered outside to guard and then replenish supplies."

After Hearn finished speaking, everyone nodded.

"We can only rely on ourselves now. If there are any problems, I will report them to the base camp in time. The only problem I am worried about now is whether there is any backup formation behind this unknown signal."

Kane said and pointed his finger at the flashing red area. According to real-time data, the red flashing point is still moving forward.

There is a green flashing dot on its front, which represents the "Jupiter" reconnaissance ship.

Before, there were still two simulated orbit circles between the two on the star map, but now they are almost pasted together...

...

In the "Kunpeng" starship flight control center, Commander Wang and Chief of Staff Li were teasing Chu Ge.

"You really came out of your mouth. Lord, do you think Commander Kane will be furious after this exercise? I feel a little sympathy for him now."

"Why are you so furious? I'm letting him get into the role quickly. You can also go to the Red Army now. I don't have any objection anyway. Do you have any objection, Chief of Staff Li?"

"Me neither!" Chief of Staff Li said with a smile.

“Old Li,,,you!!!”

"Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. Exercise is one of the purposes. Why do you let Kane and Hearn lead the first and second legions alone?

Why not let you or Chief of Staff Li partner with him? To put it bluntly, we are here to teach him the Red Army lessons.
