T4 Suzaku-class Medium Star Cruiser - Bridge
Zhao Chen watched as the first batch of one thousand Xiaolong First Legion interstellar warships completed their interstellar jump.
Half a minute later.
Zhao Chen looked at Lilith: "No reply yet?"
“No.” Lilith shook her head seriously.
The first batch of one thousand interstellar warships seemed to have sunk into the sea.
"Commander, why don't you and your ship stay here for now?"
This situation is too strange. If your flagship goes there... what if..." Lilith looked at Zhao Chen with concern.
"No! My eldest sister is over there, and both the First and Second Legions of the Falcon Dragon are there."
Furthermore, in order to prepare for the upcoming battles, I must find out exactly what trump cards Qin Xiaotian has in his hands.
Otherwise, we will be in a very passive position.
"Execute the original plan and carry out the next two batches of interstellar jumps!" Zhao Chen said solemnly.
He knew his actions were risky, but given the circumstances, he had no other choice.
Lilith took a deep breath and reiterated in the smart channel that after completing the interstellar jump, they should immediately enter combat mode and, no matter what happens, ensure that the commander's flagship is the top priority.
"The second batch of interstellar warships of the First Legion of the JF-17 are preparing for interstellar jump."
"The jump coordinates have been determined... Initiate interstellar jump!" Lilith reported the current steps.
As a T4 Radiant-class interstellar warship flashed its light, the thousand interstellar warships vanished.
Swish
The moment Zhao Chen felt his consciousness return to his body, he immediately commanded, "All interstellar warships, maintain battle formation."
Once any threatening enemy is detected, it can attack automatically!
Deploy interstellar unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to scan the surrounding space with radar!
Immediately establish communication with the other interstellar warships, the Second Legion of the Wyvern, Blue Crystal Starport, and Governor Qin Xiaolei and her entourage!
One by one, the orders were relayed out.
A thousand interstellar warships, centered around Zhao Chen's flagship, interstellar missile ships, aircraft carriers, and related auxiliary interstellar warships, formed a battle formation.
"Report: No energy entities detected around the fleet formation!"
"Report: The interstellar unmanned reconnaissance aircraft has been deployed, and no suspicious targets have been detected so far!"
"Report: The starship communication °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° network is being interfered with by an unknown magnetic field, making long-distance quantum communication impossible!"
Attempt to contact the Imperial Princess fleet failed.
Attempt to contact the Dragon Galaxy failed.
Attempt to contact Chuhe Star Region failed.
Attempts to contact the Second Legion of the JF-17 Thunder Corporation failed.
..."
Listening to the news reported by the bridge communications department.
Zhao Chen's brows gradually furrowed.
Is quantum communication being interfered with?
Is this why the eldest sister can't contact the outside world?
Zhao Chen knew that some technological means could block quantum communication, but the range was extremely small, at most the area of a single planet.
Currently, it appears that the entire Blue Crystal Galaxy, centered around Blue Crystal Starport, is under communication blockade!
Even with Zhao Chen's current capabilities, he couldn't block quantum communication in an entire galaxy!
Qin Xiaotian?
Does he possess this kind of advanced technology?
"Report! We've made contact with several signals using short-to-medium range communication!" Suddenly, the head of the communications department reported this news.
"Who did you contact?" Zhao Chen asked immediately. "Transfer the communication signal directly to me!"
There are three communication channels that have been received.
However, they were all in a very blurry stage, with one of them being faintly and intermittently audible.
"This...is...the first echelon of the first legion of the Falcon...we are under attack...the Zerg...it's...it's the Zerg!"
This communication was being broadcast repeatedly.
“They’re in the first tier!” Zhao Chen looked at Lilith.
Before setting off, Zhao Chen anticipated many possible scenarios and therefore prepared multiple contingency plans.
One of these methods is to continuously send messages on various communication channels when contact cannot be made.
Zhao Chen opened the interstellar sandbox, zoomed in to the Blue Crystal Galaxy, and looked at the areas he had marked.
Those areas were the interstellar jump locations that Zhao Chen had assigned to the First and Second Legions of the Falcon Dragon.
"The first group is about a 20-minute flight distance from us at normal speed!"
"Pass down the order: head towards the coordinates of the first echelon, and simultaneously announce our operation, trying to make contact with the third echelon!" Zhao Chen issued the order.
"Yes!" Lilith began to carry out the order.
Zhao Chen sat in the captain's chair, listening to the communication he had just heard.
Are we under attack?
Zerg?
Is there a Zerg fleet here?
Why is the Zerg fleet here?!
At this moment, Zhao Chen felt as if there was a fog in front of him.
It was initially thought to be one of Qin Xiaotian's schemes, but now it has actually involved the Zerg.
Zhao Chen's interstellar fleet set sail, heading towards the location where the first echelon had sent out communications.
Fifteen minutes later, the interstellar unmanned reconnaissance aircraft ahead was the first to transmit a message.
"Report, based on the images transmitted back."
"The first echelon of JF-17s is under attack by a suspected Zerg fleet," the crew reported.
Zhao Chen enlarged several important images.
As you can see, the first echelon of JF-17 fighters has formed a defensive formation, with aircraft carriers, interstellar missile ships, and auxiliary interstellar warships in the middle.
Thanks to this defensive formation, the battle remained orderly despite the large number of enemy units surrounding them.
“According to our radar scans, there are approximately three thousand Zerg starships in this area!” Lilith replied.
"Three thousand?" Zhao Chen frowned. Such a massive Zerg fleet was equivalent to the number emerging from a level four cosmic Zerg hive.
“But... the scale is a bit strange.” Lilith pointed to the intelligence report and said, “Of these three thousand Zerg warships, two thousand five hundred are T1 Zerg motherships!”
Five hundred are T2 Zerg motherships, and fifty are T3 Zerg motherships.
No trace of the T4 Zerg mothership was found.
Based on previous records of the Zerg in StarCraft, a Zerg hive of this size would have at least one to three T4 Zerg hive motherships.
That's strange.
"No T4 Zerg Hive Mothership?" Zhao Chen also sensed something was wrong.
The Zerg fleet is managed in a hierarchical manner. Such a large Zerg fleet must be controlled by one or more T4 Zerg motherships, otherwise internal strife will occur.
This situation is highly illogical.
"Never mind that for now, pass on the order."
Prepare for battle, destroy these Zerg motherships in front of us, and rendezvous with the first echelon.
In this battle, conserve your points for using interstellar missiles.
"The situation is still unclear, we must prepare for the worst!" Zhao Chen reminded him.
"yes!"
The first echelon of interstellar warships also noticed the appearance of their friendly ships and began to break out in this direction, attempting to rendezvous with Zhao Chen.
After they reunite, they will be able to unleash even greater combat power!
