The huge federal fleet was assembled in the high orbit of the planet. Sino kept touching his nose and looked coldly at the light cruiser outside the porthole.
The stern of the light cruiser was scorched black, and the nozzle of one of the main engines had completely disappeared, exposing the main engine components inside. Even with the naked eye, it can be seen that the main engine is extremely damaged, with at least one-third of its volume missing. The other main engine was also somewhat affected.
On the command podium on the side, the image of the commander of the decoy fleet looked trembling and fearful, and he did not dare to show his dignity.
The suffocating silence lasted for who knows how long, before Xino slowly spoke and asked, "How long will it take to practice?"
The commander of the Bait Fleet said: "The left main engine has been scrapped and needs to be replaced. The right engine has suffered slight damage and has 75% power left and needs to be repaired. There are currently sufficient stocks of this type of engine in the base and they can all be replaced. Other damages include …”
"How long will it take to repair!!" Xino suddenly roared!
The commander of the decoy fleet trembled all over and said hurriedly: "40 days."
"40 days..." Xino sneered and said, "You are really good at using this bait, but someone bit you off the fattest part, and then you didn't even touch the tail of the fish. The previous losses, Is it all caused by something like this?”
The image of the Dinner Knife appeared in front of Sino. Aside from its weird shape, its size was clearly marked. It was only 60 meters long, one-third shorter than a frigate. one.
The commander of the decoy fleet was silent for a moment and then said: "I didn't expect it to have destroyer-level firepower."
"Destroyer-level firepower." Sino sneered, "Even if a real destroyer comes, should you lose?"
The commander had nothing to say.
Xino seemed a little impatient and waved: "From now on, your position has been relieved. After returning to the base, go through the retirement procedures yourself!"
The commander of the decoy fleet turned pale, but he knew that begging for mercy or defending was useless. He silently saluted a military salute and the image disappeared.
At this time, Xino suddenly put on a smile, took a long breath, and said: "Finally, we got this guy away. Speaking of which, I would like to thank the little guy opposite. If it hadn't been for him, I would have had to wait for a long time. It will take a long time to get rid of this guy.”
A handsome female officer next to him said: "Is this good? I'm afraid it will offend that gentleman very much!"
Xino didn't take it seriously, "I've offended him enough anyway, I don't care if he does it again. But this little guy is a bit difficult to deal with."
The female officer looked at the Dinner Knife and said: "This starship is following a minimalist and extremely high-performance route. There is nothing surprising. The main gun used to attack is a destroyer-specific main gun. They have used it before, so it should be It is a component obtained from the dynasty's munitions depot. The firepower is okay, but there is no data on sustainability and reliability. In addition, mobility is its advantage, but its disadvantage is also outstanding, that is, the shield is very weak. This kind of ship The hull is not armored at all. The hull material they used seems to be quite resistant to energy beams, but the hull itself is too small, and the defense is still not much improved."
The female officer clearly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the Dinner Knife in just a few words. Sino nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "But it also has one biggest advantage, which you didn't see."
The female officer was startled and asked unconvincingly: "What are the advantages?"
"Manipulation."
"Control?" The female officer replayed the attack on the Dinner Knife again. From the time the Dinner Knife broke out of the storm clouds, to destroying the light cruiser's engine, and then rushing into the storm clouds to escape, the entire attack took only a few minutes, which was not enough for a large starship to accelerate or decelerate. The female officer felt that she didn't see anything and said, "I can do it at this level, and many of the officers under your command can do it too."
Xino smiled and said, "What I want to say is not the process of the attack, but the location where he appeared."
"Location?" The female officer didn't understand what he meant.
Sino pointed to the place where the Dinner Knife appeared and said: "Look at the place where he broke out of the storm clouds. It was just right. He could just use the shortest path to attack the weak points of the light cruiser. That was a storm cloud. Who do you think could do it? Accurate location in the storm clouds?”
The female officer thought for a while and shook her head: "No one can."
"But they can, I don't believe it's just a coincidence."
The female officer seemed a little unconvinced and said, "Is there really anyone who can locate themselves in the storm clouds by themselves?"
"There are hundreds of billions of people in the galaxy, and no one knows what kind of monsters are hidden in them. Maybe this is the one we are facing."
"Then what should we do?"
Xino thought for a moment and said, "Continue with the current strategy."
"Didn't you say that he can accurately locate the position in the storm clouds? In this case, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage if we continue with the current strategy?"
Xino smiled and said: "It's better than fighting them on the surface of the planet. I always feel that William, Joseph, Hathaway and Agnes have hidden a lot of things. These guys either lost or lost. Even if he is transferred quickly, I will not go into this troubled water. So, we will deal with him in space."
Xino added: "There are only two players at the table now, me and him. But I have far more chips than him. I can lose ten times without breaking a sweat, but he will lose as long as he loses once." Out. Why wouldn't I play in an inning like this? He's human too, and as long as he's human, he'll make mistakes."
After a pause, Sino said: "We are just waiting for him to make a mistake!"
The female officer nodded vigorously.
The Dinner Knife quickly returned to its original location and docked with Lin Xi's starship. Chu Jungui walked into the destroyer and came to Lin Xi's cabin.
Lin Xi was sitting by the virtual porthole, reading a book under the soft light. Everything was very quiet, and the starlight outside the window slowly flowed and fell on her body, making Lin Xi look gentler than ever before.
"What are you looking at?" Chu Jungui asked.
Lin Xi raised his head, pointed to the seat opposite, and said, "Are you back? Sit down! I'm reading the latest book, which is about a girl who travels 10,000 light years to find her father."
"I thought I was looking for a boyfriend."
Lin Xi smiled and said: "The author of this book is said to have had his heart broken by men, so most of the men in her novels did not end well."
"Is that so? Then maybe my ending will be different. This is for you." Chu Jungui sent a document.
Lin Xi opened it and saw that it was a battle report, proving that her main gun had just severely damaged a federal light cruiser. This is an image captured by the sensor attached to the main gun, and it is the core evidence for the assessment of combat merit. The basic combat power of a light cruiser is between 6,000 and 8,000. This one shot will cause the light cruiser to lose more than 10% of its combat power, and it must be returned for repairs. Therefore, the preliminary assessment of combat merit given in the battle report is 1021.
"This battle merit is enough for you to buy a new main gun, so I will use yours first."
Lin Xi was startled.
