Blue star road

Three days later, Su Bai was rehearsing a simulated astrolabe battle when Artificial Intelligence Zero made a pleasant sound.

"Received data from the forward reconnaissance team."

Then high-definition pictures appeared one after another.

The vast sea of ​​stars is densely packed with ships.

"Which country's ship is this?"

Bai Lan asked curiously.

"From the Astor Empire."

Su Bai replied in a deep voice, these black and rough appearance lines can tell at a glance that the ships of the Astor Empire are not ordinary ships, but are high-mobility heavy defense ships.

"That's a lot."

Xiao Chen and others were a little surprised.

"Not so much."

Wang Quan narrowed his eyes and said, Judging from the photos taken, these ships are probably only part of the Astor Empire, and the number of ships in this part almost exceeds the total number of ships in the Covenant.

Su Bai turned to the artificial intelligence Zero and asked, "Have any other ships been found nearby?"

"No."

Artificial intelligence·zero reply.

"The other three countries should not be here." Qinoya said to Su Bai.

Su Bai pondered for a while and gave orders to the artificial intelligence Zero.

"Order Kurosawa and the others to return immediately and carefully."

"Yes, the order is being conveyed."

Everyone present was confused when they heard Su Bai's order.

"Shut down the planetary power system and slow down the forward speed."

"yes."

Su Bai is not planning to have an immediate conflict with the Astor Empire. The time has not come yet, and this is not the most important reason.

In the dark starry sky, Kurosawa is receiving a message from artificial intelligence Zero.

Frowning, it turned out to be an order to retreat. He originally thought it would be an order to continue monitoring.

But an order was an order, and no matter how confused Kurosawa was, he did not hesitate and carefully started to evacuate with his confidants.

Wait until Kurosawa and the others evacuate.

In the silent starry sky, scattered meteorites floated, and their surfaces suddenly squirmed.

The protective color disappeared, and a special mecha appeared.

In the cab, there was a low groaning sound.

"Has it been discovered? It shouldn't be? Forget it, go back and report to the emperor first."

At the front of the densely packed ships, a giant planetary fortress made of steel moved slowly.

In a palace with luxurious interiors.

The Emperor, made of pitch-black flames, sat firmly on his throne.

At this time, a virtual image came in, saluting and reporting to the emperor.

"Great Emperor! The reconnaissance team of the old humans is retreating. I don't know what went wrong. It seems to have been exposed."

When the emperor heard this, he made a frightening sound.

"It doesn't matter, those ants who can't escape dare to trick me! I'm looking forward to seeing their desperate faces."

"Yes, the Emperor is right, tear those filthy old humans apart!"

"That's right, a group of stinky beggars still dare to come and snatch food. They don't know how high the world is."

In the main hall, everyone shouted angrily with the same hatred.

——

In the joint command room of Earth and Star, Su Bai touched his chin and kept thinking.

He didn't know why, but he always felt like something was not right, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Ta da~~

There was a sound of hurried footsteps. Kurosawa and Wang Buwei walked into the joint command room at the same time. They asked at the same time in confusion.

"Why were we suddenly asked to withdraw?"

"yes!"

"Something's not quite right."

Su Bai knocked on the armrest and said lightly.

Everyone looked at Su Bai, full of doubts.

"Isn't it going well?"

"We may have been exposed."

Su Bai's words were like thunder.

"How can it be?"

The expression on Qinoya's cold face became increasingly ugly.

Kurosawa couldn't help but said to Su Bai: "It's impossible. We were very careful during the investigation, and the distance was stretched to the limit!"

Wang Buwei also spoke.

"Could it be that you made a mistake?"

"Have you ever considered one thing? We followed the mechanical wreckage of the Astor Empire. Under normal circumstances, we should still be able to see traces of troops from other countries, even if those countries were defeated by Astor. The Sturt Empire was defeated. We should have found captured ships in the reconnaissance photos, but there were none. And most importantly, didn't you find there was a problem with the images you returned from the reconnaissance? "

"what is the problem?"

"Those ships are all highly maneuverable heavy defense ships. Under normal circumstances, they should be at the front, even for search missions. But now they are all arranged at the back. Don't you think this looks like something?"

Su Bai replied solemnly.

"A net!"

Chinoya reacted immediately.

"That's right, it's a net, a net that surrounds us."

Su Bai's words were very calm, without much fluctuation, as if he was just telling another normal thing.

"Then what are we going to do? Retreat temporarily?"

Coindo asked.

"Don't be in a hurry, just stay calm. If I guessed correctly, the other party probably doesn't know our details right now and is searching the area to see if there are any follow-up troops. I'm looking forward to what it will be like when he finds out the truth. "

The corners of Su Bai's mouth raised slightly, it was time for Emperor Astor to settle his account.

Of course, the time is not yet ripe, so Su Bai plans to play some psychological warfare with the other party to waste time.

"good."

Chinoya and others gradually calmed down.

"Then shall we deploy the fleet and form a defensive formation?"

"Don't worry, you only need to do one thing. Ambush all the V-generation mechas and divine guards all over the planet and be on standby for 24-hour combat."

Su Bai said.

"Understood!"

Everyone responded one after another.

Seven days later, in the main hall of the Star of Gods, the leader of the Sin Bone Army, Romagos, walked in, knelt on one knee and said to the emperor.

"Emperor, our scout team searched all nearby areas and found no other troops of the old humans at all. In addition, the most important point is that we used special reconnaissance instruments and found a damaged weapon inside the old human ship. An extremely serious planetary fortress with little combat effectiveness at all.”

When the Emperor heard Romagos' report, black flames surged all over his body, reaching the ceiling.

Let out an extremely angry roar!

"Damn ants! How dare you play tricks on me!"

"Emperor, calm down!"

All the Astor officials present were trembling with fear and their faces were extremely pale.

Lopez saw the emperor being so furious. Although his expression did not change at all, his heart was also very complicated and worried.

That guy was really powerful, he was able to deceive everyone by himself.

But now Lopez was sighing in his heart. A bluff is always a bluff. It can succeed once, but it cannot succeed every time. Su Bai and the others should not be here, and this time they even dug out the bottom.

Sure enough, after the emperor vented his inner extreme anger! The order was given.

"Order the entire fleet to reverse course! The blasphemers will eventually pay the price."

"yes!"

All the generals present responded in unison.

In the dark starry sky, densely packed Astor Empire ships began to reverse direction.

The mighty troops surrounded Earth Star.
