Chapter 563, Where is the Alliance?
Chapter 563, Where is the Alliance?
Some people are worried, some are fearful, and naturally some are ecstatic.
The happiest one is undoubtedly the Raging Flame Fleet.
Although being herded like a sheep made people feel very uneasy, the long-awaited reinforcement finally arrived, and arrived as promised.
Although it is unknown what price they paid for this request and where it will lead the chapter in the future, at least there is greater hope at present to save the fate of the chapter.
They couldn't wait to use the sage Paulson as a transit point to contact the Ark Fleet that had crossed the Wenqi-Wuqi Channel and entered the Proud Claw Star Region.
Based on the current location of the Raging Flame Fleet, they calculated a rendezvous point.
Then, they started running in both directions.
But Blood Shark was like a villain who wanted to break them up. It kept showing up with three Alliance battlecruisers and had a constant impact.
Paulitos has shown himself to be very resolute on several occasions. To be resolute in his determination, he must act in accordance with his goals.
However, at the last moment, he still compromised.
The closer we get to the moment when we see hope, or even hope is coming towards us, the less courage we have to fight to the death.
Obviously, they will be able to successfully join forces soon. Obviously, the combined strength of the Fury and Ark Fleets will not only far exceed that of the Alliance, but also the 2,500 Space Marines of the two regiments can be used to the greatest extent. The two combined forces can do more than just protect the Proud Claw star field, and can even push back on a large scale, directly opening up the third front of the Iron Fury against the Empire. It is even possible that this front will be the place where the most results will be achieved!
Dawn is about to come, how can I fall down just before it?
They decisively gave in and said if they didn't let me go, I would change the route.
At the same time, they will also pass this message to the Mechanicus' Ark Fleet, allowing the mechanical fleet to adjust its route at any time to ensure that the two sides can reunite as soon as possible.
During the whole process, the entire Fury Fleet was fully prepared.
Paulitos did not ignore the biggest problem: the main fleet of the Alliance had disappeared since it cleared the orbital defense system of Heyang VIII.
According to the information Paulson passed on to him, it was judged that the main fleet of the alliance was coming to find them.
This is actually what Paulitos has always been most worried about.
Logically speaking, the main fleet of the Alliance should have arrived long ago. If they came from Heyang VIII to find them, with the Blood Sharks chasing behind, there would be no problem in not finding them. If the main force of the Alliance fleet wanted to come and beat them, there would be no problem, and they would definitely come faster than the Mechanicus.
After all, according to what was said at the time, it would take a month for the mechanical fleet to enter the Aozhua star field, and it was unknown how long it would take for the two sides to reunite.
Before that, the Alliance Fleet will definitely find Fury, and that will be the most dangerous time.
Paulitus made a lot of preparations, all of which were trying to figure out how to survive after being attacked by the main fleet of the alliance.
He had even considered the worst possible scenario.
When necessary, the two giant ships, Triumph Fire and Wings of Spark, can be abandoned.
It’s not that I’m willing to do so, it’s that I have no other choice.
He has some plans:
For example, if they find a planet with a relatively good defense system, the Fury Fleet can use the planet's orbital defense system to defend it;
For example, they could disperse immediately after encountering the main fleet of the Alliance. The two giant ships would definitely be the most closely watched, so they would be given to the Alliance. They would just have to fight to the death and delay the enemy as much as possible. The manpower of the two regiments could be dispersed in some small boats, escape quickly, and try to escape the pursuit of the Alliance, and then join up with the Mechanicus.
These two directions each have their own problems.
For the former, it was not easy to find a place with a complete defense system. Even if they tried their best to find one, they might not be able to defend it until the reinforcements from the Alfonzo sect arrived. If they failed to defend it, it would be a disaster and everything would be gone.
In the latter case, even if they were destined to lose two flagships, the scattered fleeing ships might not be able to escape the hunt. The blood sharks were very skilled hunters, and the alliance probably had no shortage of relevant means. Moreover, the alliance's main fleet plus the blood sharks had an absolute advantage in the number of ships, and it was not certain that many people would be able to escape if they acted separately.
If too few people escaped, what difference would it make if the entire regiment was wiped out? As for leaving behind a bloodline, the regiment still had people in its home world in the Princess Star Region, so the bloodline would not be cut off.
After much hesitation, Paulitos decided to try both tactics.
He would lead the fleet around a star or through dangerous areas such as an asteroid belt, hoping to temporarily escape the surveillance of the blood sharks, and then quickly send out one or two small ships to allow them to slip away without anyone noticing.
But the effect is very poor.
Often the contact between the two sides could only last for a few days, and then the ship would suddenly lose all contact.
Is the signal disconnected?
Paulitos doesn’t think so.
I'm afraid that the fate of these ships that acted separately was not very good.
He had to pay more attention to the first option.
When the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious, reaching the point of extreme anxiety, he made a decision: not to move forward.
It just so happened that the galaxy they were currently passing through, called "Fantasy Moon", was a pretty good place.
The main habitable world here is not a separate planet, but a satellite orbiting the largest gas giant in the system, called a phantom moon.
First of all, Huanyue is a relatively developed place with good industrial capacity and a relatively complete orbital defense system built around Huanyue. In addition, there is a giant planet blocking one side, which limits the attack methods that the attacker can choose.
In general, Phantom Moon is a fairly good defensive location that the Raging Flame Fleet could find along the way.
Paulitos decided to stay here with the entire fleet.
At the same time, he also contacted the Ark Fleet of the Mechanicus, informed them of his decision, and hoped that the Ark Fleet would come and join him as soon as possible.
Alfonzo's fleet quickly responded:
"Yes, please pay attention to the defense. We are about to arrive at the Bowen Galaxy. It is estimated that there are still six jumps to your location. It is estimated that it will take 21 days to arrive."
"No problem, we will definitely hold on for 21 days."
Then, Alfonzo's Ark Fleet sent a final communication signal to the Fury Fleet:
"Wish ya'll good luck."
...After Paulson confirmed that the last message had been sent, he left the communications cabin and returned to the conference room.
Seven sages of the main profession gathered on the mechanical ark 'Alfonzo II'.
At this moment, here is Paulson's real body.
When the Ark Fleet entered the Proud Claw star field, a squadron headed to Heyang VIII.
Not only did they bring back Paulson, the sage of the main business, but they also took away a considerable number of the Heyang Knights from Heyang VIII.
The knights whose homeland's orbital defense systems were completely dismantled by the Alliance had a certain degree of hatred for the Alliance. Having suffered losses, they hoped to teach the Alliance a painful lesson in the next war.
Seeing Paulson coming back, the leader of the sages, Anton Dubo, said, "Have you pacified that group?"
"Yes."
"Haha, that's good." Du Bo said, "Soon, we will gain a deep friendship between the two regiments. War, after all, has its benefits. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, how could it be so easy to make those proud angels bow their heads?"
"You're right." Paulson remained respectful.
Although he, like Anton Dubo, is a master of his profession, there are also differences among masters of his profession.
He is about to be promoted to the level of a true great sage.
The Alfonzo Cult has a total of thirty-six Major Sages and one Great Sage.
The great sage Martin Varuk is the leader of the sect. Under him are the three forging generals who control the three Alfonzo forging worlds. Although the three forging generals are only sages of the main profession, their status is quite high.
Apart from these four, the first of the remaining sages of the main profession is Anton Dubo.
He is an absolute hawk in Alfonzo's sect. In the cooperation between Alfonzo and the Iron Armor Legion, he has always been the most active one and the one who strongly promoted the sect's participation in the Iron Armor War.
He succeeded, and his status in the sect rose rapidly.
With the support of Humphrey Paul, his current status is even slightly higher than those three casting generals.
This time, the Alfonzo sect officially joined the war, and Dubo personally led the powerful Ark Fleet to the south to open up the battlefield.
If he succeeds, destroys the alliance fleet, takes over the entire Proud Claw star field, and can even expand the entire sect's sphere of influence southward to the Eastern Universe, then he will surely be able to become a great sage.
However, this so-called great sage would definitely not be recognized by the Mechanicus's Martian headquarters.
But what does it matter?
In the future, it is not certain whether the leader of the Mechanicus will still be on Mars.
Paulson has decided to keep this important support.
Although he is also a sage of the main occupation, he is ranked quite far behind among the thirty-six people.
If Du Bo could take off in one go, he would be able to gain tremendous benefits from it.
After carefully and seriously reporting on the Fury Fleet, he sat in his seat and listened quietly to the reports from other sages.
After arriving in the Proud Claw star field, the Ark Fleet joined forces with the Fury Fleet. Taking those two wargroups under its command was only the first step.
Important, but not that important.
The most important thing is to destroy the alliance's main fleet.
But the question is, where is the main fleet of the Alliance?
I thought they were going to seize the time to destroy the Rage before the Ark Fleet arrived, to prevent the two from merging and strengthening their power.
However, this expected event did not happen at all.
The Alliance didn't even go to fight Fury.
At least, apart from the Blood Shark that was always following Fury's ass, there was no signal from the Alliance ships.
So where did they go?
The Ark Fleet has been trying its best to search for intelligence on the Alliance Fleet through various means.
The detection and search system expanded to multiple surrounding star systems and was always on alert for the surroundings; the dispatched reconnaissance fleet explored several star regions in more than a month after entering the Proud Claw star field, but failed to find the Alliance; the Star Language Tower on the starship contacted more than a hundred worlds still on its side, asking whether they had observed any traces of the Alliance fleet's movement, but failed to obtain any valuable information.
It seemed as if the main fleet of the alliance turned into a ghost after leaving Heyang VIII.
This is a little disturbing.
But it's not strong.
Because, there is another guess: the alliance will not run away, right?
After seeing such a powerful lineup of their own fleet, they knew that there was no way they could fight against their own side in the Aozhua star field, so they simply abandoned this star field that did not belong to them and evacuated directly to the south.
It's not impossible.
On the contrary, it is a quite sensible choice.
After all, if we run to the south, to the Shangdong Star in the Menghe Star Region, and rely on Shangdong's quite good planetary defense system to block the only passage from Aozhua to the Eastern Universe, that would be pretty good.
Even if the alliance has some special ideas, there is a huge difference in strength between the two sides. What is the point of conspiracy?
Could it be that with the size and strength of the Alliance fleet, they dare to ambush me?
"boom!"
"Report! We are under attack!"
