Chapter 203: Barbarot’s Countermeasures.
Babawi Empire No. 11917 Small Trading Hub.
The 900,000 Babawi Empire warships had finally found what was causing their Warp Engines to malfunction, after conducting a careful search for three hours!
“Commander Barbarot, we found an abnormal fragment of the wreckage of a warship. From the in-depth scan, we found that this was disguised to be part of the wreck, when it’s actually not!”
“Huh? Immediately have the technicians study it!”
“Yes!”
“Wait, don’t bring it to the flagship. Take it to the other warships and send the technicians there!”
Thinking of something, Barbarot immediately stopped the Adjutant, who was about to deliver the order, and further ordered.
“Yes, Commander Barbarot!”
Soon, a warship went to the vicinity of the abnormal wreckage and dragged it inside. At the same time, a group of technicians took a shuttle ship towards that warship.
However, as if to confirm Barbarot’s previous worries, a few minutes later, the warship suddenly turned into a ball of fire without warning.
Seeing this scene, Barbarot breathed a sigh of relief.
Babarea had said before, that this was the technology of a Level 5 Civilization. So how could the other party just leave this thing here, without there being any catch?
It was because of this thought that Barbarot had changed his order and asked the Adjutant to have another warship deal with the wreckage. In the end, his concern was confirmed with the warship exploding.
On the bridge of the flagship, everyone who saw this scene was also secretly grateful. Fortunately, their commander had changed his order and did not have the wreckage brought to the flagship.
“Quickly arrange for a warship to try entering the warping state, we need to see if we can now warp!”
“Yes, Commander Barbarot!”
With Barbarot’s order, a warship soon started its Warp Engine and made a short-range warp.
The void shrank and the warship disappeared!
“Commander Barbarot, warping has been restored and we can proceed normally!”
“Alright. Order the fleet to immediately warp to the small Trade Hub No. 11827!”
“Yes, Commander Barbarot!”
This time, there was no problem. All three legions entered the transition smoothly, heading for the small Trade Hub No. 11827!
At this moment, the fleet led by Lin Fan was resting in the small Trade Hub No. 11827.
“Commander-in-Chief, the Warp Blocking Technology that was set out, has sent back a self-destruction signal!”
“Alright. Order everyone to return to their warships!”
“Yes!”
A day later, the three legions led by Barbarot warped to the small Trading Hub No. 11827.
At the same time as they arrived, Lin Fan took his fleet and started warping.
“These bastards of the Lehman Empire! Immediately calculate where they are warping this time!!”
“Yes, Commander Barbarot… According to calculations, the other party’s target this time should be the small Trade Hub No. 11768, 28 light-years away!”
“Okay, let’s go now!”
“Yes!”
The three legions made a leap again according to Barbarot’s order, chasing the “Lehman Empire’s fleet”.
However, this time Barbarot was tricked by Lin Fan again.
Although Lin Fan was indeed aiming at the small Trade Hub No. 11768’s direction, Lin Fan only warped for 0.1 light-years before exiting the warping state. He then immediately warped to the center of the small Trade Hub No. 11829, which was 3 light-years away!
One day later, Barbarot, who was on his way to the small Trading Hub No. 11768, received news that the small Trading Hub No. 11829 was attacked by the “Lehman Empire Fleet”.
It was only then that Barbarot understood that he was once again tricked!
If he were to go to the small Trade Hub No. 11827, the Lehman Empire would have been obviously waiting for him to come over, before going in another direction again!
No, this cannot continue. He cannot follow the opponent forever. Otherwise, he will never be able to catch up.
Fortunately, the Lehman Empire only had 100,000 warships this time. In this case, Barbarot still had a way to contain the other party.
But the three legions that he brought were not enough. He needed more troops.
After considering many aspects, Barbarot made up his mind. He took out the communicator and contacted Barbarea.
“Your Majesty Babarea!”
“Barbarot, what happened to the Lehman Empire Fleet on the front line? Has it been resolved?”
Barbarea thought that Barbarot was here to report the results, so he just asked directly.
“Your Majesty Barbarea, this time I’m here to report the battle situation to you…”
As Barbarot explained the situation, Babarea’s expression became uglier. After such a long time, not only did Barbarot not report the results of the battle, he even requested for more troops!?
However, Babarea didn’t pursue the matter that much. After all, he was a veteran leader of a Level 4 Civilization. He naturally knew the issues that could occur in a battle between Level 4 Civilizations. It was true that he couldn’t completely blame Babarot.
It’s only because the Babawi Empire hadn’t fought a Level 4 Civilization for thousands of years, that these issues had long been selectively forgotten. Thus, making the mistake of just sending Barbarot with three legions.
With Barbarot mentioning this, he remembered it. He had seen the detailed explanation of a battle between the Level 4 Civilizations, which was handed down from generation to generation in the Imperial Family.
“Babarot, I will allow you to mobilize 7 more legions from the large Trade Hub No. 012. I also temporarily grant you the authority to mobilize all of the Level 3 Civilizations within the jurisdiction of the Trade Hub No. 012.”
“With this, your troops should be enough. Now completely destroy the opponent for me!”
“Yes, Your Majesty Babarea!”
After the communication was disconnected, Barbarot obviously became a lot more confident.
The mobilization authority of all of the Level 3 Civilizations within the jurisdiction of the large Trade Hub No. 012 was great!
One must know that within this territory, there were a total of 12 Level 3 Civilizations. These Level 3 Civilizations could easily move a large number of legions to adjacent Trade Hubs.
After all, the so-called Trade Network was not just the territory of the Babawi Empire, but was a grid in the entire Main Spiral Arm.
Therefore, some Trade Hubs may be on the borders of several civilizations, while some seem to be built directly within the territory of a civilization.
“Immediately have all of the Level 3 Civilizations under the jurisdiction of the large Trade Hub No. 012, deploy legions to all of the Trade Hubs adjacent to them. There should be at least one legion placed in each small Trade Hub! Let’s see where the Lehman Empire will attack next! We’ll see how they will deal with at least 300,000 warships, even if it is only Level 3 Civilization warships!”
“Yes, Commander Barbarot!”
