Chapter 1154: On the Brink of War

as soon as possible,"Xia Xin pouted and said."Of course I know that, but I have to make it clear what I'm saying now so that it can't be used against me later."Ripple likes to prepare in advance and...Drell's starship, now upgraded into a command center, blends in with the rest, inconspicuous. However, this camouflage is easily detected unless you refrain from issuing battle orders.

Drew spent a day cleaning up the wreckage of the destroyed command center and then completed the last line of defense deployment, making sure the black hole bomb was in place, and then notified Ripple.

All ten warships, evenly distributed along the front line, were fully armed and ready for orders from Ripple's command center.

It was the ripples that commanded Little Six.

"Xiao Liu, every two hours, use the old communication channel to send a request for support message to Unit 718. Say that our command ship has been destroyed, the command center suffered heavy casualties, and the current defensive line is without a commander."

Got it!

Xiao Liu immediately began sending messages requesting the dispatch of commanders.

Liang Qians, Qingluan, and An Mengmeng all saw it. They looked at each other without saying a word, their eyes fixed nervously on the light screen.

As expected, the message sank without a trace, with no response whatsoever. Xiao Liu, however, popped up with a message first thing.

"A request for support has been intercepted!"

All the officers in the control room saw it and their hearts sank.

"Continue to send requests for support in two hours."

Ripples commanded directly.

Little Six, of course, knew what ripples meant. She displayed that she received the command, and then two hours later sent the same message again.

"Information is still being intercepted."

Xiao Liu reacted quickly, displaying the result on the light screen. Privately, she sent another message to Lian Yi:

"Ripples, although the information was intercepted, it wasn't the same signal that was intercepted."

"Then keep going, and see how many signal interceptors the Ocotervisians have set up."

Now we have no choice but to bet. If there are more than three interceptors, it will be very difficult for Little Six to penetrate the opponent's system through signal intrusion.

The wait was long, and a day later the ships lying in ambush at the front line sent back word:

"The Oktevians' warships have been detected approaching our defenses."

How long will it take to get in touch with you

"An hour later."

The other party said seriously.

They definitely used a space jump.

Dru immediately said.

"Liang Qin, inform the second and third warships to rendezvous with the first warship, forming a combat echelon to engage the enemy's vanguard and lure them into our encirclement."

"Yes!"

"Qingluan, inform the fourth, fifth, and sixth warships to go to the enemy's right flank. For now, avoid direct conflict with them, let them enter our pocket."

"Yes!"

"An Mengmeng, notify the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth warships to go to the enemy's left flank. Their mission is the same as the first three squadrons."

"Yes!"

Line after line of orders were being issued rapidly, while Drew frowned and asked:

"Commander He, you've sent everyone out. We're the only ship left here. Aren't we just sitting ducks Or are you planning to lure them into a black hole singularity zone"

Dru really doesn't want to activate a black hole explosion, the range of influence is too wide, and this area will become a dangerous zone afterwards, and there is also a risk of spreading. It's really harmful to both parties.

"Rest assured, I won't order the detonation until the very last moment."

Knowing Drew's concerns, Lianyi soothed him in advance.

Just at this time, Xiaoliu sent a message to Lianyi.

"I have intercepted the signal from Oktev's star and am infiltrating their system."

How long will it take

"Intrusion and decryption will take at least three hours."

"Xiao Liu, during the invasion, try your best to destroy the main battleship's communication system so that their combat orders cannot be sent out."

“Received. The first thing I destroyed was their command system.”

Xiaoliu responded quickly and skillfully.

"Captain, the first, second, and third warships have met with the enemy and are engaged in battle."

Liang Qin immediately reported.

"How many enemies are there"

Ripple cares about this.

"It seems to be the main force of Ocotes."

Liang Qian's face was pale as he replied, then brought up the latest video feed to the main control room's screen.

The light screen displayed an image of the Octerius star system. A fleet of warships, led by a dreadnought, were rapidly approaching them, engaging with troops aboard the first, second, and third battleships.

The First Squad's mecha troops, deploying according to Ripples' plan, adopted a swift and decisive approach. Under the protection of battleships, they annihilated Ocortevis Star's vanguard forces and then retreated at full speed, yielding the road leading to the defenses.

The retreat of the first, second, and third warships actually slowed the advance of the warships from Octarvis.

Before that, they had also suffered losses at the hands of the Galactic Alliance. They had fallen for the Alliance's ploy to lure them deep into enemy territory, resulting in the destruction of their ace warship, Okote. Since then, they had become much more cautious in their operations, rarely venturing alone unless they were absolutely certain of victory.

They charged this line because it was one of the few destroyed command posts, and the Allied forces realized they had been cut off before their superiors received a request for support.

They intercepted information that confirmed there was no combat commander here, which is why they decided to attack. All they needed to do was break through and create an opening for them to enter. Once they occupied a planet, they could use the planet's inhabitants as leverage to negotiate with the alliance.

If ripples knew the other party's shameless plan, she would definitely spit on their face. Sure enough, they are just a failed evolutionary species, what good is it to have only brains

But now they really came charging, and seeing the three warships withdrawing in an orderly fashion, they sensed something was wrong.

Ripple smiled when she saw it, it seemed that she remembered the beating she had taken before and became more cautious.

"Liang Qin, Qingluan, An Mengmeng, notify all warships. Dispatch superhuman and star beast combat units to stealthily approach Okotev's fleet and begin consuming their outer ships."

Remember to be as quiet and stealthy as possible. The later you are discovered, the better. Once discovered, don't engage in a futile fight; retreat immediately. Remember, your safety is paramount. They are all precious warriors of the Alliance!

"Yes!"

Three people immediately flew their fingers, starting to issue commands.

Drew also let out a silent breath of relief. He wasn't afraid of fighting, but he feared being ordered to hold their ground with no chance of victory.

Although this is their mission, who would want to die fighting in the stars They wouldn't even have a body to return home with.

The ripples here have already teamed up with the Oktovian starfighters, and the command of the 718th regiment has also noticed that Sabir's command has been out of contact for over a day.

After communication attempts failed, the 718th Unit immediately dispatched a communications squad to the outermost edge of the XZ9 defensive line. Losing contact during wartime is a serious matter.

The 718th Corps' communications unit encountered Dru's beleaguered communication squad en route. A massive red flower was firmly guarding the spaceship, its thick petals waving as it repelled attacks.member, a proper lady doesn't take things without asking!""Elder Sister Hua, I have my own handkerchief.
