Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

This made Rex a little confused.

This route has been tested five times, and the surrounding space has been explored countless times.

In the previous exploration of the star field around the route, no large asteroids were found at all.

The largest is only a few hundred meters, and it is impossible for asteroids over a kilometer level not to be discovered by drones.

Could it be that it just floated over today?

Rex could only think so.

After all, this group of asteroids is not static, but drifting.

However, Rex didn't know that the large celestial body discovered by the fleet was not an asteroid at all.

In the asteroid cluster on either side of the fleet.

There are seven dark giant ships floating forward slowly.

The engine was not turned on, not even the void shield was activated.

Large and small asteroids hit the hull of the ship, bursting out bursts of fireworks.

Some were bounced off, while others were smashed into pieces.

Although the asteroids outside are dense, Li Meng also saw the faint blue-white light in the dark starry sky in the distance from the bridge.

It was a fleet sailing in the asteroid group, the light emitted by the tail flame of the propeller.

"King, the enemy fleet is less than [-] kilometers away..."

Sitting on the captain's chair, Li Meng looked at the starry sky outside calmly.

He waved his hand and said calmly: "Don't worry, as long as the engine is not started and the void shield is not opened, they will not be able to detect the existence of the fleet, and will only think that the fleet is some kind of large celestial body that is approaching. order not to attack in advance."

The unknown "EVE" technology template force is looking for a safe route in the S-01919 star system.

Li Meng had been following this behavior for a long time.

Ever since, Li Meng formulated an ambush operation plan.

Fighting in asteroid swarms, Imperial warships can ignore asteroids, but opponents cannot.

Whether it is a battleship or a drone, it is extremely vulnerable to asteroids.

Fight among asteroid swarms, where the Imperial fleet has a geographical advantage.

"King, the rebel fleet is releasing drones, ten in number, approaching the fleet ambushing in the asteroid clusters on both sides."

A tech-priest suddenly sounded the alarm.

Hearing this, Ralph's face changed slightly.

Found out?

On the holographic screen in front of Li Meng, five small red dots were shuttling through the asteroid group, approaching the direction of the fleet.

On the other side, there are also five drones approaching the fleet ambushing on the other side.

Looking at the tactical map, Li Meng revealed a thoughtful look.

It seems that the other party is very cautious, and has a little doubt about the sudden appearance of a large celestial body.

And sent a drone to find out.

The size of the UAV is small, and it is naturally not a problem to shuttle among the asteroids.

Li Meng looked at the distance between the fleet and the enemy ship.

Not far away, only less than forty kilometers...

Leaning back, Li Mengyang waved his hand and said, "Let's attack..."

Wait any longer, and the enemy drones will surely discover the existence of the fleet.

Such a short distance is enough to launch a surprise attack.

Ralph straightened his face and waved his hand.

"Order the ships, attack, attack, attack!"

Three attacks in a row, the order was conveyed to the ships.

Following Ralph's order, outside, the fleet hiding in the asteroid group.

The propellers at the stern of each ship sprayed out dazzling white tail flames.

The void shield was activated at the same time, blocking some faster asteroids.

As soon as the fleet engine was turned on, it was detected by the "Freedom and Democratic Federation" fleet.

"High-energy ion radiation detected, it is the enemy, the enemy is coming..."

"We were ambushed? How could it be..."

Like the other captains, Rex also received an alert from the scanning array.

There are seven large targets approaching from the asteroid swarm on either side of the fleet, very close.

"Release the drone immediately, fast, the rear of the fleet becomes the front, and immediately stay away from the enemy fleet..."

As soon as the enemy ship was spotted, Rex did not hesitate, and issued an order for the drone to attack and the fleet to evacuate.

Rex knew very well that although the "Tristan-class" frigates and "Argus-class" destroyers are equipped with rapid-fire guns suitable for close combat, these two warships are equipped with drones, and their ship-to-ship combat capabilities are very good. weak.

Once approached by an enemy ship, there will be no ability to resist.

The warships of unknown forces are giant warships, and ship-to-ship clearly has an advantage.

With Rex's order, outside, among the asteroids.

The sailing fleet suddenly stopped, turned slowly, and released the "Earth Elf" drone.

A drone flew out of each ship like a goddess scattering flowers, and rushed towards the asteroids on both sides.

In the face of enemy fleet raids, the "Freedom and Democratic Federation" fleet has no reservations.

Released all "Earth Spirit" drones.

Like a swarm of locusts overwhelming the sky, more than 1000 drones plunged into the depths of the asteroid swarm, and the scene was very shocking.

"The swarm of drones is approaching and is expected to engage in combat within 30 seconds..."

Looking at the starry sky full of asteroids outside the window, Ralph smiled coldly.

Well done...

"Order the entire ship to launch torpedoes immediately to attack the asteroid in the direction of the drone group..."

Following Ralph's order, outside, the "Cobra-class" destroyers on both sides of the flagship opened fire first.

The bow of the ship flashed bursts of flames, and huge high-explosive torpedoes shot out from the launch tubes and flew to the depths of the asteroid ahead.

In the group of asteroids just ahead, a blue-white spot of light is flying towards it.

"boom……"

In less than ten seconds, groups of huge and dazzling fireballs erupted from the asteroid group in front of the fleet.

The large and small asteroids were smashed into pieces and pushed forward into more fragments.

Thousands of debris rained into the drone swarm.

"boom……"

Sparks burst out from the fuselage of the "Earth Elf" drone.

A large number of drones were hit by asteroid fragments, exploded, and turned into balls of fire.

"what happened?"

In the flagship of the "Freedom and Democracy Federation" fleet.

Seeing the swarm of drones pounced on the enemy ship, before reaching the enemy ship, a large area suddenly disappeared.

This startled Rex a lot.

When he checked the video feed back from the drone, he realized what had happened.

The opponent attacked the asteroid and used the debris to attack the drone swarm.

Although those fragments cannot cause harm to battleships, they are real killers for fragile drones.

At this moment, Rex finally understood why the opponent wanted to place the battlefield in the dangerous asteroid group.

In the tight space of asteroids, not only the flexibility of drones will be severely affected.

The crushed asteroid fragments can also cause a lot of damage to drones.
