As eighteen 400-millimeter columnar alloy electromagnetic projectiles weighing in tons left the acceleration orbit, they were fired at the No. 2 escort ship at a speed of about one hundred kilometers per second. In less than ten seconds, the human captain, who had no time to order the ship to dodge or open its shields, was completely wiped out along with his bridge by two violently blasted electromagnetic projectiles.
Since it was a stationary target, the combat computer perfectly locked the position of the escort ship. Except for one electromagnetic projectile that missed the ship's hull and flew away from the battlefield, all the remaining seventeen projectiles scored hits. And because the heavy alloy armor that originally covered the ship's body was removed in large quantities by black market merchants for retail sales, in just a moment, more than a dozen electromagnetic projectiles carrying a huge amount of kinetic energy effortlessly penetrated several layers of the ship's hull, destroying the ship. The hull of the escort ship, which was of acceptable size but actually extremely fragile, was riddled with holes and was completely depleted in combat effectiveness.
What is even more encouraging for the Star Group fleet is that the enemy ship, which had no foresight of the battle, did not vacuum the outer compartment at all, nor did it uniformly control the dangerous goods in the ship. This resulted in a large number of flame dragons driven by high temperature and high pressure running rampant in the already dilapidated battleship corridor, immediately triggering a violent chain explosion that almost blew the entire escort ship into three pieces, a dazzling fireball. It is still clearly visible even from hundreds of kilometers away.
It seems that if the foundation of a regular warship is not still there, the escort ship that has such an internal explosion will inevitably be shattered into pieces.
"The combat computer is assessing the damage level of the target enemy ship... The assessment is completed, level A to B, and the enemy ship has completely lost its vitality."
Captain Paterson, who learned the good news from the star hub, shook hands with Ramsay excitedly with a trembling body, and gave the order to speed up and capture the enemy transport ship.
It was also at this time that the smart-aleck Sechka and the No. 1 escort ship he led belatedly arrived. Looking at the three cursors representing unknown ships on the radar, and then thinking about the No. 2 escort ship and the pollen transport ship that he had been unable to contact for a long time, no matter how much he beat his chest and his eyes were about to burst, he was unable to change the situation worth tens of billions. The fact that the pollen has been taken away.
But after quickly calming down, he immediately figured everything out - if he had not chosen to arrive later but waited for his "good brother" with the second ship, I am afraid that he would also become an unforgettable member of the starship wreckage at this time. Peaceful space junk. Moreover, he was not the real owner of this batch of pollen. Now he finally threw this hot potato away. In the end, he only lost two frigates instead of billions of credits.
After thinking this way, Sechka felt a lot better and walked alone to the crew restaurant at the rear of the escort ship, intending to have a big meal to relieve the stress accumulated over the past few days.
Seeing Sechka leaving the bridge with a sigh, facing the inquiry message from the fleet of the Star Group, Rankhir, a member of the Kol'Azan tribe, took the initiative to connect to the video communication with the other party, saying that he was just a coincidence. The traveling warrior passing by here hoped that the other party would let him go because of the strong military force of the Kor'Azan Republic.
Colonel Patterson, who just wanted to kill people and gain goods, and was not interested in attracting powerful enemies, finally had no choice but to let the No. 1 escort ship leave after confirming that the opponent was indeed a Kol-Azan and asking several questions about hidden traps. Jump point.
...
However, a blessing in disguise was a blessing in disguise. A few hours before the battle broke out, when the three Javelin-class frigates left the atmosphere trailing flames, they were responsible for controlling the takeoff and landing of all unofficial spacecraft on Fenhabennis. The group's deep space starport monitored their departure.
Since building an outpost near the star in the center of the solar system would be regarded as an act of asserting sovereignty, even the Universal Group, which has the deepest influence on Fenhabenis, does not dare to build a star base blatantly, but retreats to a A deep space starport that is not open to the public has been built closer to the center of the galaxy to monitor the movements of the entire galaxy.
Not to mention three 200-meter-class medium-sized frigates, even a space shuttle with a length of more than ten meters may not be able to escape the eyes of the star port monitoring outpost.
Originally, for Fenhabenis, who had countless spacecrafts taking off and landing every day, this operation of the Star Group was not conspicuous and was something that did not need to be ignored. However, the person in charge of this deep space star port was found to have accepted bribes by the law enforcement department of the World Group some time ago, and the most serious thing is that he failed to pay taxes on these bribes.
So the former person in charge, who was still struggling, was forcibly taken away by law enforcement soldiers on charges of tax evasion, and the Deep Space Star Port was replaced by a new person in charge.
Just as he was considering whether to send a universal battleship docked at the star port to follow him to see the situation, an encrypted communication from the United Nations of Earth was received in front of him.
"Ms. Dolores Muwanga! I feel extremely honored to be able to speak directly with the top leader of the Federation of Ground."
Looking at the expressionless black woman in the holographic projection, the person in charge of Star Port flattered her with a smile, then turned his attention to the group executive who came with Muwanga in the projection, and asked him Bow slightly to show respect.
After seeing the obviously inclined attitude of the person in charge, Muwanga was not angry, but smiled and stated his purpose.
"According to our latest intelligence, a transport ship that hijacked important assets of the Earth United Nations entered the Fenhabenis system under the escort of an unknown number of armed ships. I hope that the One World Group can provide us with the Earth Alliance's navy. Some help from the fleet.”
The person in charge of Guxing Port glanced at the group executives calmly and found that the other party did not seem to object, and then cautiously replied: "The United Nations of Earth has a deep relationship with the Huanyu Group, and has always been one of the group's most important customers. , it would be a great thing if we could help you, but I just don’t know how you need our help?”
"It's very simple! Turn on the hyperspace suppressor you deployed in the star port and block the entire star system until my fleet arrives!"
A sudden voice participated in the meeting. Through the dark blue military uniform of the newly appeared man in the projection, the densely decorated chest and general stars on the shoulders, it is not difficult to tell that this is an admiral of the United Nations of Earth. Also the commander of the fleet.
"This is Admiral Jenkins, the commander of the expedition fleet who is responsible for commanding the operation this time. Your Excellency, he is Randall, the person in charge of the star port."
Just when the person in charge of the Star Port was about to lose control of the situation, the Universal executive who was in charge of all affairs of the Finn Habenis branch stood up and slightly eased the somewhat tense atmosphere in the conference room by introducing his identity.
"General, there is no need to embarrass Mr. Randall. The World Group will cooperate with the military operations of the Earth United Nations, but you must be responsible for the impact on other countries in the process and the cost of turning on the suppressor."
"This is nature. The Earth United Nations is not an unreasonable barbaric country."
Dolores Muwanga, the female president of the Earth Federation, saw the concerns of the executives of the World Group, so after she made a promise to make up for all the losses of the other party, Randall immediately activated the small hyperspace suppression in the star port. device.
For a moment, all the spacecraft in the Fenhabenis system that were about to start or had already started operating their hyperspace engines and were preparing to jump were violently stopped. The hyperspace engine was severely interfered by the suppressor and thus lost its function. Countless captains who were still confused began to ask each other on the public channel, wanting to know if other captains knew what happened, but no one could answer this question.
As for the three frigates of the Star Group at this time, they also blocked all communications from the public channel due to the need to perform combat missions. This move was conducive to the fleet hiding its whereabouts, but it caused Colonel Patterson and the command to still be concerned about it. Things remain unknown.
After the brief and hypocritical meeting with the United Nations on Earth, Randall, the head of the star port of the World Group, took a deep breath, looked at the group executive who was currently on Fenhabenis in the projection, and asked with slight confusion. Said: "Mr. Garcia, why should we risk offending other civilized empires to help the Earth Alliance?"
"Randall, sometimes there are things we have to help with."
Garcia shook his head, as if to say that he couldn't help it - the Earth Alliance fleet only needed to jump once more to enter the Fenhabenis system. If they don't help them now, the angry Admiral Jenkins may let the warships attack their precious starport on the grounds that the navigation system has failed.
By the same token, without the acquiescence of those powerful civilized empires, the World Group would not have been able to build the star port at Randall's feet that has the ability to block the entire galaxy. As a price for taking half of Fenhabenis into their pocket, they must show up and show their attitude when the powerful countries need it.
However, adhering to the Universal Group's always "fair and impartial" principle of doing business, Garcia did not hesitate to disclose the relevant information about the matter to the Human Federation Squadron parked in Fenhabenis Spaceport, saying that everyone should fight against space pirates. Responsible, hoping that the other party can provide some "extra assistance" to the ground fleet.
It didn't take long for him to be well-informed and learn that the Human Federation's squadron headquarters in Fenhabenis issued an emergency assembly order, and hundreds of Human Federation ships parked in the space port immediately entered and set sail. The final state of combat readiness before.
On one side is the Earth United Nations, which has had its important assets stolen and is coming with overwhelming anger. On the other side is the Human Federation, which is in a state of war and will not let go of any resources that can be used to expand the fleet.
Standing in the central spire of Fenhabennis, which was transformed into a branch building by Huanyu Group, Garcia smiled slightly as he made a small calculation in his mind, secretly thinking that his fire was finally achieved.
As a veteran figure who has worked in the group for half his life, Garcia's actions perfectly explain why he was able to sit in such a high position as the head of the Universal Division in just a few decades.
If the group can't get a piece of the business under their noses, then they won't allow anyone to get away with it.
