Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

Without using the sub-light speed engine to evacuate the battlefield, the firm-class frigate directly jumps in the battlefield.

In the dark starry sky, on the battlefield.

Under the firepower of the imperial fleet, the enemy ships leaped one after another, turning into streaks of blue light and disappearing without a trace.

"boom""

The two firm-class frigates that were just about to enter the jump space were targeted by the close-in automatic guns on the "Cobra" destroyer.

Dense fiery red barrages hit the firm-class frigate like a meteor shower.

After holding on for less than three seconds, the originally crumbling shields of the two firm-class frigates shattered.

Countless shells landed on the hull, and a dense explosion suddenly occurred.

When fleeing, the firm-class frigate was not idle.

The coil guns on the ship fired one after another, attacking the destroyer "Cobra" which was close at hand.

The shells of the coil gun were blocked by the void shield, while the shells of the automatic cannon fell directly on the hull of the firm-class frigate.

The dense explosions tore apart the hull of the firm-class frigate layer by layer.

Groups of flames burst, shining in the starry sky.

It was about to destroy the firm-class frigate, but at the last moment, the other party successfully entered the leap space.

As the last two enemy ships left the field, the flames of war in the huge battlefield suddenly disappeared.

There are metal debris floating around in the universe.

There are relatively complete hulls, and there are also fragments that have turned into a pile of iron slag.

"Wang, the opponent has already withdrawn from the battlefield..."

In the bridge of the "Firestorm-class" frigate.

Navy captain "Aizel" reported to Li Meng.

On the bridge, Li Meng sat on the captain's chair.

Looking thoughtfully, there is no longer a starry sky full of wars.

It's a pity...

With the FTL engine, enemy ships can come like the wind and go without a trace.

Even in the battlefield can quickly evacuate.

Is there any technology that can interfere with the operation of hyperdrive?

Well, there should be...

Hyperdrive is more or less affected by gravity.

Breaking away from the superluminal space also relies on the gravitational force to form a pulling force, pulling the ship out of the superluminal space.

If you create a distorted gravitational field within a certain range, you can trap enemies.

Next time you go to the trade mall, you can turn to the back page, there must be a similar technology blueprint.

In a battle that must be won, if the enemy cannot be wiped out, it is a very uncomfortable thing.

Putting away the wild thoughts in his heart, Li Meng said to Captain Ezel beside him: "Send someone to clean up the battlefield, and also, ask the tech priest to see if he can find the star map of the "UNSC" base camp in the database of the abandoned ship." coordinate."

"UNSC" has lost so many warships, there must be people out there alive.

Although they are not citizens of the empire, as long as they are human beings, they can be transformed ideologically.

If it is impossible, they will be transformed into slave labor or machine slaves.

Right now the empire is short of manpower, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

In the dark starry sky outside, the ships stopped slowly in the battlefield where metal wreckage was flying all over the sky.

Not long after, "V3" transport boats flew out of the harbor of the battleship and began to clean the battlefield.

As Li Meng said, there are survivors in some of the hulks.

They are all crew members on the firm-class frigate.

When the ship is destroyed, if you wear a vacuum suit, you can survive for a while even if you float in the vacuum.

As for whether it can be found, only God knows.

This time, on the other side.

In the jump space, a firm-class frigate shuttles alone in the world of blue aurora.

"Governor Kaysen, does Governor Brian have a reply?"

On the bridge, Leo sat on the captain's chair with a decadent expression on his face.

At this moment, he was in a terrible mood.

His self-confidence, his ambition, and his dream are so fragile in the face of reality.

He actually failed...

How should he explain to his "UNSC" companions?
After more than two years of preparation, every member of "UNSC" is full of hope for the future.

Once the news of the failure spreads, how big a wave will it cause?

The defeat in the war cost the "UNSC" more than two years of time.

All the efforts of my comrades were in vain...

Will something happen to them?

probably not……

Leo thought of Kaisen and Brian.

The warships the three of them were on were surrounded by other firm-class frigates.

This can prevent the warship where the three people are on from becoming the enemy's preferred attack target.

When evacuating the battlefield, Leo also noticed the situation of the two of them.

They were all still alive and had evacuated the field before him.

"I have received letters from Governor Kaisen and Governor Brian. They are all fine, and all ships have established contact. A total of six firm-class frigates survived, and two of them were seriously damaged. They have left the transition space and are waiting for rescue."

Hearing this, Leo's face darkened.

Of the fifteen warships, only one-third could go back.

How shocking is the battle loss rate.

Everything happened so fast that the fleet had no time to react.

By the time they reacted, the enemy's fleet that suddenly appeared was already close.

In those few minutes, four Steadfast-class frigates were destroyed.

Thinking of the fleet that suddenly appeared from the subspace, the expression on Leo's face was uncertain.

Where did the enemy get so many warships?

There was obviously only one ship two years ago, but six ships were built in just two years?
That is a giant ship 1.5 kilometers long, built in only two years?

how can that be……

"Alansha, immediately report the battle situation here to the chairman of the council, we have failed..."

Now is not the time to run away.

He must inform the chairman of the parliament about the failure, so that the chairman of the parliament can make plans early.

……

S-01820 star system.

"Star God" space station.

The news of the failure came so suddenly that people were caught off guard.

In a conference room, Wood Stevens, Brooke, and Wendell sat opposite each other.

The expressions on the faces of the three of them were very dignified.

The silence in the council room was terrifying, and no one wanted to be the first to speak.

Because they don't know what to say and what to do.

Although Wood Stevens had thought about the consequences of failure.

But that was just thinking about it in his heart. From the beginning to the end, he didn't think that "UNSC" would lose.

15V3, the advantage is mine.

But now, it turned out that they were wrong, their intelligence was wrong.

Not 15V3, but 15V6.

Twice the gap is enough to bring disaster to "UNSC".

It's not that they didn't think that there would be battleships left behind in the S-01888 star system.

But the number will never be many, there will only be one at most.

Because only two years have passed since the last time "UNSC" appeared in the S-01888 star system.

Two years ago, the unknown force had only one warship.

Two years later, three warships is the limit, no matter how many there are, it will never exceed four.

There can't be five, there can't be six.

But the reality is cruel, and the opponent has six warships.
