Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

This made Rex a little confused.

This route has been tested five times, and the surrounding space has been explored countless times.

In the previous exploration of the star field around the route, no large asteroids were found at all.

The largest one is only a few hundred meters, and it is impossible for asteroids exceeding one kilometer not to be discovered by drones.

Did it just come here recently?

That was all Rex could think.

After all, this group of asteroids is not stationary, but is drifting.

However, Rex did not know that the large celestial body discovered by the fleet was not an asteroid at all.

Just among the asteroid groups on both sides of the fleet.

There are seven dark giant ships floating forward slowly.

The engines were not turned on, not even the void shield was turned on.

Asteroids of various sizes collided with the ship's hull, bursting out bursts of fireworks.

Some were ejected, while others were smashed into pieces.

Although the asteroids outside were dense, in the bridge, Li Meng also saw a looming blue-white light in the dark starry sky in the distance.

It was a fleet sailing among the asteroids, the light emitted by the tail flame of the propeller.

"King, we are less than fifty kilometers away from the enemy fleet..."

Sitting on the captain's chair, Li Meng looked at the starry sky outside with a calm expression.

He raised his hand and said calmly: "There's no rush. As long as the engine doesn't start and the void shield doesn't open, they won't be able to detect the presence of the fleet. They will only think that the fleet is some type of large celestial body that is approaching. If you pass on the order, there will be no danger without me." The order is not to attack in advance.”

The unknown "EVE" technology template force is looking for a safe route in the S-01919 star system.

This behavior has long been targeted by Li Meng.

Ever since, Li Meng formulated an ambush plan.

Fighting in a swarm of asteroids, the Imperial warships can ignore the asteroids, but the opponent cannot.

Whether it is a battleship or a drone, it is extremely vulnerable to asteroids.

Fighting among asteroid swarms, the Imperial fleet has the geographical advantage.

"King, the rebel fleet is releasing drones, ten in number, and is approaching the fleet ambushed in the asteroid groups on both sides."

A tech-priest suddenly issued a warning.

Hearing this, Ralph's expression changed slightly.

Discovered?

On the holographic screen in front of Li Meng, five small red dots were shuttled among the asteroids, approaching the direction of the fleet.

On the other side, there were also five drones approaching the fleet ambushing on the other side.

Looking at the tactical map, Li Meng looked thoughtful.

It seemed that the other party was very cautious and had a suspicion about the sudden appearance of a large celestial body.

And sent a drone to find out.

The drone is small, so traveling among asteroids is not a problem.

Li Meng looked at the distance between the fleet and the enemy ships again.

Not far away, less than forty kilometers away...

Leaning back, Li Meng raised his hand and said, "Let's attack..."

If we wait any longer, enemy drones will surely discover the presence of the fleet.

Such a close distance is enough to launch a surprise attack.

Ralph's face straightened and he waved his hand.

"Command all ships to attack, attack, attack!"

With three consecutive attacks, the order was conveyed to all ships.

Following Ralph's order, outside, there was a fleet hiding among the asteroids.

The propellers at the rear of each ship emitted dazzling white tail flames.

The void shield was opened at the same time, blocking some faster asteroids.

As soon as the fleet engine was turned on, it was detected by the "Free Democratic Federation" fleet.

"High-energy ion radiation has been detected. It is an enemy. The enemy is coming..."

"We were ambushed? How is it possible..."

Like the other captains, Rex was alerted by the scanning array.

There are seven large targets approaching from the asteroid swarms on both sides of the fleet, very close.

"Release the drones immediately, hurry up, change the rear fleet to the front, and stay away from the enemy fleet immediately..."

Upon discovering the enemy ship, Rex did not hesitate and issued the order for the drone to attack and the order for the fleet to evacuate.

Rex knew very well that although the "Tristan-class" frigates and "Argus-class" destroyers were equipped with rapid-fire cannons suitable for close combat, these two warships were drone-carrying ships and had very high ship-to-ship combat capabilities. weak.

Once it is approached by an enemy ship, it will have no ability to resist.

The battleships of the unknown force are huge battleships, and they have a clear advantage over ships.

Following Rex's order, outside, among the asteroids.

The sailing fleet suddenly stopped moving forward, turned slowly, and released the "Goblin" drone.

Drones flew out from each ship like a goddess scattering flowers and pounced on the asteroid groups on both sides.

Facing the enemy fleet's surprise attack, the "Free Democratic Federation" fleet had no reservations.

All "Goblin" drones were released.

Like an overwhelming swarm of locusts, more than a thousand drones swooped into the depths of the asteroid group. The scene was very shocking.

"The drone swarm is approaching and is expected to engage in battle within thirty seconds..."

Looking out the window at the starry sky filled with asteroids, Ralph smiled coldly.

Well done...

"Instruct the entire ship to immediately launch torpedoes to attack the asteroids in the direction of the drone group..."

Following Relf's order, outside, the "Cobra-class" destroyers accompanying the flagship on both sides took the lead in opening fire.

The bow of the ship flashed with bursts of fire, and huge high-explosive torpedoes shot out from the launch tube and flew deep into the asteroid ahead.

In the group of asteroids just ahead, a blue-white light spot was flying towards them.

"boom……"

In less than ten seconds, huge and dazzling fireballs erupted from the asteroid group in front of the fleet.

Asteroids of all sizes were blasted to pieces, turning into more fragments and pushed forward.

Thousands of debris rushed into the drone swarm like raindrops.

"boom……"

Sparks suddenly burst out from the fuselage of the "Elf" drone.

A large number of drones were hit by asteroid fragments and exploded, turning into balls of fire.

"what happened?"

In the "Liberal Democratic Federation" fleet flagship.

I saw a group of drones rushing towards the enemy ship. Before they could get close to the enemy ship, a large area suddenly disappeared.

This startled Rex.

When he checked the video information returned by the drone, he realized what had happened.

The opponent attacked the asteroid and used the debris to attack the drone swarm.

Although those fragments cannot cause harm to warships, they are a real killer for fragile drones.

At this moment, Rex understood why the other party wanted to place the battlefield in a dangerous asteroid group.

In a swarm of asteroids in a small space, the flexibility of the drone will not only be severely affected.

The shattered asteroid fragments can also cause a lot of damage to drones.
