As the assault fleet approached, the firepower increased exponentially, the defense facilities of Outpost 6 were destroyed, and the firepower points displayed on the radar became fewer and fewer.

Just when Chen Han thought he could knock down Outpost No. 6 in one wave, their radar suddenly buzzed wildly.

Immediately afterwards, dense red dots poured out from under Outpost No. 6, and it was impossible to count how many there were.

"Unknown target discovered..."

"There are a lot of numbers and we are counting..."

"Still increasing..."

The artificial human ship divisions and geeks continued to issue early warnings.

"Analyze the data immediately." Chen Han frowned slightly, these red dots made his scalp numb.

"A large number of UFOs have been detected ahead..."

"The distance is too far to distinguish..."

"They are very fast..." Feedback from the assault fleet also came from the public channel.

"Stop moving forward, keep a distance, wait for the next instruction, repeat..." Chen Han immediately stopped the assault fleet.

He could tell that these sudden red dots were not battleships, and it was impossible for Juwei to hide so many fighter planes at Outpost No. 6. They were probably something weird.

Tens of seconds later, with the efforts of a group of geeks and Type III omnics, the data was finally analyzed.

"There is a high probability that they are the Z3 series of self-destructing drones. There are more than 30,000 of them. The origin is the Phobos system. They can be mounted on outposts or star ports or even inside large battleships."

"It has some long-range attack capabilities, and its flying speed is close to that of a fighter jet. Its biggest feature is that it has a built-in self-destruction device, which is as powerful as two black explosive balls." Maki Qianye projected a picture onto the main screen, his expression a bit ugly.

It can be seen that this kind of drone is very small, only one-tenth the size of a conventional fighter aircraft.

Basically, it has no defensive capabilities, and the cost is not very expensive. It relies on large quantities.

"Z3 series self-destructing drone..." Chen Han quickly browsed the detailed data provided by Mu Qianye and seemed to remember something.

Two seconds later, he transmitted the data and connected it to the public channel: "Order, all warships change their attack targets, prioritize the removal of enemy drones, and do not let them get closer."

"In addition, all fighter planes are dispatched to cover and assist the warships in cleaning up."

"receive."

"clear!"

"..."

The Enforcer's remaining battleships still had very strong execution capabilities and quickly shifted their attack targets.

One after another, the Enforcement fighter jets also flew out of the ship's cabin, with the total number approaching seven hundred.

Ao and others also left the Exile in their own fighter planes, leading dozens of android pilots.

At this time, most of the defensive firepower of Outpost 6 has been destroyed, and the battlefield is not so dangerous. It is time for the androids to gain practical combat experience.

As the warship's firepower network formed, the rapidly advancing Z3 series self-destructing drone was directly destroyed in a large area.

You can even see with the naked eye the light caused by large-scale explosions in the dark places of the starry sky.

At this time, the role of high-frequency secondary guns comes into play.

For example, the two particle blast cannons mounted on the Exile can kill three to five hundred self-destructing drones every minute with the cheapest iron ammunition alone.

On the contrary, powerful weapons such as spiral orbital cannons and missiles have no effect, and they only have the feeling of cannons hitting mosquitoes when fired.

Although in just three minutes the Exile and the Enforcer fleet destroyed nearly 10,000 Z3 self-destructing drones.

But there are still too many of them, and there are still nearly 20,000 approaching, with a distance of less than 30 kilometers.

"We expect to engage the enemy in fifty seconds. Do you want to retreat? Repeat..." The assault fleet at the front asked for help.

With the power of the Z3 self-destructing drone, basically a dozen of them exploding at the same time can completely destroy the assault ship's particle shield.

Without shield protection, the assault ships would be scrapped if they were attacked at random, not to mention that they were facing tens of thousands of them and could not withstand them at all.

"Cannot withdraw! The purpose of these drones is to force us to retreat!" Maki Qianye reminded while controlling the Exile.

"Keep the formation, keep the firepower, don't retreat!" Chen Han shouted in the team channel.

He also knew that he could not retreat, because no matter which way he flew, it would involve the fleet formation, and he would not be able to carry out output in a short period of time.

You must know that Outpost No. 6 still has some firepower. Once they withdraw, it will be like being beaten in vain.

We finally managed to get to Outpost No. 6 as a group. If we wanted to come back, we would have to endure several rounds of fire and lose a lot of warships. It was such a loss.

Not to mention that the fleet has been dispatched. Even if their warships can withdraw, the fighter planes outside will not be able to return home in a short time, and they will all die.

Now we can only hope that the fleet will be able to exert its due effect after arriving at the designated location and curb the advancement speed of the Z3 self-destructing drone.

Thirty seconds passed, and the self-destructing drone was less than ten kilometers away from the front assault fleet, and it was still facing a fire net.

The law enforcers in the assault fleet began to panic. They did not dare to imagine the consequences of being approached by these self-destructing drones.

But after all, they have undergone strict training and are afraid of returning. No one leaves their post without authorization, and nothing they should do is left behind.

There was no problem with Chen Han's decision. As the dispatched fleet was in place and with full firepower, the advance of the Z3 self-destructing drone was immediately stopped.

Because there are a large number of fighters and a high output frequency, basically all weapons can take effect.

Although the z3 self-destructing drone also has some long-range attack capabilities, its power and range are too limited, and it has no effect even against fighters.

In less than twenty seconds, the fleet killed at least eight thousand Z3 self-destructing drones, and this number is still increasing.

However, they also withstood some of the firepower from Outpost No. 6 and lost approximately thirty Enforcement fighter jets.

Seeing the red dots disappearing on the radar module, Chen Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The situation was now stable.

With their firepower, the remaining thousands of z3 drones can no longer get close.

In fact, he wasn't sure just now. After all, everything happened too fast and he didn't have much time to think.

I just remembered that Black Hand had previously described Gaia's last battle, in which Juweixing also launched countless self-destructing drones, which were solved by Gaia using its fleet.

Now it seems that he made the right bet and learned more at the same time.

The warship may not be able to deal with the dense drones, but the fleet can, one thing at a time.

As the remaining Z3 self-destructing drones were wiped out, Chen Han was able to lead the fleet forward.

The fighter planes did not choose to return. Except for the broken ones, they all cooperated outside to cover the battleship's advance, for fear that a wave of self-destructing drones would rush out.

However, they were obviously overthinking it. The Z3 self-destructing drone swarm just now was Outpost 6's last resort.

After losing the radar tower, main gun, and missile silo one after another.

Now there are no more tens of thousands of self-destructing drones, and all that is left are the secondary battery defense facilities that have been destroyed by more than half.

After two rounds of missiles from the Enforcer fleet at close range, Outpost No. 6 was officially declared to have fallen, and all fire points were cleared.

When Mu Qianye drove the Exodus closer, Chen Han was finally able to see clearly the general structure of Outpost No. 6.

An outpost is similar to a small star port. It is a platform building that can be stabilized in space. It is about the size of more than twenty football fields.

Under normal circumstances, the outpost cannot move long distances, but there are several propellers at the bottom and around the platform to correct the trajectory and adjust the direction.

There is a three-story radar tower in the middle area, which is one of the core facilities of the outpost. It is protected by a curtain and can detect an area of ​​nearly 100,000 kilometers.

The main gun and various secondary guns are fixed around, and the overall layout is very neat and orderly without interfering with each other.

No matter which direction the enemy comes from, the outpost can detect and attack it.

The only difference is that the star port is closed and the outpost is open.

Because the former requires people to live in, there are also many commercial considerations.

The latter are controlled by defense systems and assisted by artificial intelligence. They don't have to worry about human problems, and there are no environmental control modules or the like.

"Their main guns are a bit big..." Chen Han looked at the messy Outpost No. 6 on the main screen.

Most of the main guns flew away in the explosion, leaving only a few nearly 200-meter-long gun barrels floating on the almost ruined No. 6 outpost.

This is also the largest main gun he has ever seen besides the fortress cannon.

If the radar tower had not been destroyed in advance and these main guns had not been deliberately disabled, the law enforcers would probably not have had more than a dozen warships.

"How about we all move away, Chen Han." Ning Bai said while shaking her twin ponytails.

She has come back from outside. Something went wrong when she blocked the self-destructing drone, and the fighter plane is still being repaired.

"Moving into your room?" Chen Han asked angrily.

A main gun of this level is not something they can currently use, and it is broken and of little value.

"You..." Ning Bai was speechless and could only sulk beside him.

At this time, reports from other battleships came from the public channel: "No life forms were found at outpost No. 6, please give instructions."

"Calculate the casualties and rescue your people." Chen Han glanced at the calm radar.

"receive."

After the communication ended, the law enforcers were very efficient and completed the statistics in less than ten minutes.

In this battle, the law enforcers lost a total of six frigates and four assault ships, blew up more than 30 fighter planes, and killed more than 60 people.
To be continued...
