Chapter 144: Leaving the Defense Line, Counterattackl i
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Captain, even if we are to go and support the front line, we can’t leave the mothership here alone…”
“Yes, the mothership is our core, we can’t do without an escort fleet…”
“No need!”
Moro shook his head, “The enemy can’t leave the Pluto line now, you go and support the front line, just act according to my plan…”
Seeing his determined att.i.tude, the others stopped persuading him. They each returned to their ships and slowly moved away from Pluto.
Except for the mothership, all 32 warships took off together, heading towards the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
“Commander, good news. Captain Moro has asked the other three fleets to come and support us. They have already set off and are expected to arrive in 24 days…”
“Great!”
Seth nodded, excited, “You all saw the captain’s plan. This time, we can take the Earth, it can surely happen…”
“Now, just wait for them to arrive, and it will be the end for the Pangu civilization…”
Miro seemed a little worried, “Won’t my brother be in danger sending all the fleets away…”
“Miro is worrying too much. The mothership’s combat power is not weak. Moreover, Captain Moro is near the wormhole, even if anything happens, they can withdraw in time…”
Seven days later.
The lunar base.
After a week of production, 70,000 of the latest type of warships were neatly parked together.
“Commander, 70,000 warships are divided into 1,400 formations, each with 50 warships…”
Uncle Da reported in front of the warship to Zhao Yu, “1,100 fleets are heading to the asteroid belt, and 300 fleets are heading to Pluto…”
“The program for each fleet has also been set. The fleet heading to Pluto will be stationed near Neptune and take turns attacking the enemy mothership…”
“The fleet heading to the asteroid belt will return to the first defense line for supply when the energy is left at 10%…”
Once the fleet leaves the first defense line, it will be difficult to control it. It can only operate according to the pre-set program.
It took Uncle Da’s computing power a full week to set everything up.
Zhao Yu nodded and said with satisfaction, “You did well, now let’s get going!”
With Zhao Yu’s command, the 70,000 warships rose into the sky together, heading towards the Mars defense line.
“Report, detected 70,000 warships leaving the enemy lunar military base and heading to the Pluto line…”
As soon as Zhao Yu made a move, Seth detected it.
“This time, they no longer conceal the speed of their ships. Every warship is heading to the Pluto line at a speed of 19,605 nanogees…”
“Expected to reach the front line in 4 hours…”
“They reinforced again…”
The faces of Seth and his men were serious, “The enemy’s production line is too strong. In such a short time, they have added another 70,000 warships…”
“We had just destroyed more than 30,000 warships last time, and they have replenished them all at once…”
Lately, they have strictly followed Moro’s instructions to maintain the gap near the Pluto line and prevented the enemy from repairing it successfully.
But now, with the addition of the new 70,000 warships, it will be difficult to hold the gap.
“Commander, I just calculated, with these 70,000 warships added, it will be difficult for us to maintain the gap…”
“We must hold on!”
Seth firmly said, “The support troops will arrive in 17 days. Before they get here, even if we exhaust the resources reserved during this period, we must hold on…”
The 70,000 warships sent by Zhao Yu brought a lot of pressure to the front line, especially since the enemy was no longer pretending, and each warship was very fast. The previous situation, where a few random attacks could destroy a warship, rarely happened anymore.
Just when Seth and his men thought that the 70,000 warships were supporting the Pluto line.
The content displayed by the detection equipment left them somewhat stunned.
“According to the detection, not all of the 70,000 warships are heading to the Pluto line. Only 5,000 have gone to the Pluto line. The majority have gone to four other nearby enemy military bases…”
They have long been clear that there are 12 military bases in total on the entire Mars...o...b..t defense line.
Now, both sides have basically given up the desire to attack from other points due to the gravitational wave detector.
70,000 warships scattered and heading to other bases immediately made Seth vigilant.
“Keep monitoring and send this information back to the mothership…”
Four hours later.
“Commander, something’s wrong!”
“The enemy’s warships have left the defense line!!”
“What?”
Seth was shocked and quickly stepped forward to check.
On the screens monitoring the military bases within the Mars defense line, seventy thousand warships all left the line at once.
“Where are they going?”
“This is the first time they have left the line in so many days…”
The team leaders began to discuss amongst themselves.
Soon, someone calculated the trajectory of the seventy thousand warships.
“Leader, over half of these seventy thousand warships are heading towards our temporary base. The rest are avoiding the asteroid belt and choosing a higher dimension, seemingly intending to go around to Pluto…”
“What?!”
Miro was startled, “We can’t let them go to Pluto, the mothership is there!”
Fie exclaimed in alarm, “Quick, dispatch a fleet to intercept, we can’t let them leave…”
The other leaders looked at each other, unsure whether to intercept or continue following Moro’s original plan in the face of this sudden situation.
Compared to the mothership, Seth was more concerned about the more than fifty thousand warships heading their way.
“We don’t have time to intercept them. Our priority now is to deal with these fifty thousand warships…”
Before Seth could finish, Miro started shouting, “My brother is still on the mothership, the captain is in danger, can’t you see that?!”
Seth frowned and said in a firm voice, “There are only a little over ten thousand warships that seem to be going for the mothership. Even if they are heading to Pluto, it would take more than twenty days. The mothership would respond once they notice, besides, there are three other fleets on the way…”
“Right now, we should be the ones feeling threatened…”
“If these fifty thousand warships have the same level of technology as ours, if just one of them gets within five hundred thousand kilometers of us, we’re done…”
Seth didn’t bother explaining further to Miro, he directly gave the order, “Notify the ground, all personnel quickly board the ship, we leave in three minutes…”
Their current location was on a small asteroid near Mars in the asteroid belt where a complete mining area had been established.
But now, they could only abandon this base.
“Leader, are we not going to defend?”
“Defend what, if the enemy’s warships are on par with ours, do you want to defend with your head?!”
Seth cursed impatiently, he had never thought that the enemy would leave the line to counterattack.
“But, the captain ordered us to stay here…”
“Stop the nonsense, even if the captain was here now, he would make the same decision as me. Now, I am issuing an order as the leader, everyone prepare to retreat quickly!”
With that, he didn’t say anything more, he directly left the base and boarded the command ship not far away.
Seeing this, the others hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
Compared to Moro’s orders, it was clearly more important to save their own lives. Moreover, even if Moro blamed them, it was Seth’s order, they were just following orders..
