After everyone discussed it, they decided to ask for help, otherwise they would never be able to go very far on their own. While the communicator still had signals and could connect to the star network, trying to ask for help might be able to be received by the army. They could not just wait for death.
Regardless of whether it worked or not, with the mentality of giving it a try, everyone sent out various messages asking for help.
The message sent by the captain directly said that the princess's parents were in trouble here and come and save them.
By chance, the 12th Army retreated in this direction. After receiving these distress messages, they reported it to the Army Commander for instructions on whether to rescue people.
The top commander of the 12th Army discussed with the staff, looked at the huge star map on the light screen, and contacted all parties to confirm that the Zerg had not yet appeared on the planet in this area, and the residents of the planet were evacuating in an orderly manner.
In this case, how could anyone encounter the Zerg and ask for help? The commander ordered to contact the other party and ask about the specific situation first.
After he listened to Li Quanzhi's story, he asked their spaceships to sail as far as possible in the direction of the fleet. They would go as far as the remaining energy could carry them, and they would rush there as soon as possible.
After hearing this, Li Quanzhi was extremely grateful and felt that he had hope again.
It was so thrilling to go out this time. I really regret it. My daughter kindly asked her family to take refuge. Who would have thought that she would not be able to escape, but she would plunge into the center of the storm and almost die.
Most of the whole family has followed. If all of them are killed, the entire Li family will be doomed. The few households left behind will not be able to support themselves. How can they provide support for their daughter.
After Li Quanzhi contacted several other spaceships, everyone discussed and decided to connect the spaceships and let the two spacecrafts in front pull the spaceships in the back. When the spacecraft in front has no energy, they will give up directly. In this way, they can save energy. How long can they persist? Son.
Several spaceships were connected in the starry sky, and everyone boarded the two last spaceships. Although it was a little crowded, it was good to have a place to stay.
The people in the two spacecrafts responsible for towing at the front packed up their useful things and boarded the spacecraft behind them. The empty spaceship was switched to autopilot and continued to sail forward.
They can use the communicator to control the automatic driving of the intelligent optical brain on the spacecraft, so that they can meet the 12th Army as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the 12th Army rushes unilaterally, when will they meet? Every minute of delay will be an extra minute. danger.
Fortunately, the next section of the journey was uneventful and there was no trace of the Zerg. However, they did not notice that there was not a single spaceship in the previously bustling waterway. This was not very strange. It was supposed to be impossible not to have a single civilian ship.
Since they entered this channel, except for the Zerg, they have not encountered a single human spacecraft, but the people who fled ignored this.
The staff officers of the 12th Army did not ignore it. They all believed that there was a problem with receiving the distress message and did not recommend that the entire army go to pick up the people on those spaceships.
The commander of the 12th Army has extremely high military capabilities and rich experience in commanding battles. Although he used to fight against humans and now his opponents are Zerg, the various methods of war are not much different.
After analyzing the intelligence from all parties, we came to the conclusion that there is likely to be an ambush by the Zerg ahead. Once the whole army enters the Zerg encirclement, the legion will lose its strength in vain, and it will definitely not work if the whole army is pressed.
He said with a serious expression: "If we don't save the people in distress, it's like sitting back and watching them die. As an imperial soldier, our responsibility is to protect the people. Even if there is an ambush by the Zerg, we must go there. We cannot give up on the people of the empire who are asking for help."
One of the staff members suggested: "Commander, it is better to send a warship to pick up people. Even if it is a conspiracy of the Zerg, it will only sacrifice a small number of people and have little impact on our legion. In these days of fighting, the legion has already suffered a lot of losses." , we can’t fold the whole army here, as long as we don’t take the bait, the ambushing Zerg may let those people go.”
The legion commander showed a trace of anger, "Can the soldiers on that battleship be sacrificed? You only want to preserve your strength. Our 12th Army is a whole. Without sacrificing our comrades, the Zerg will let humans go. It is absolutely impossible. "
The staff officer explained: "But Commander, the sacrifice of our soldiers must be valuable. For those few civilian ships, which have less than 2,000 people in total, the entire army is dispatched. If we are really ambushed, more people will die."
We might as well defend the planet and save more people. The main goal of the Zerg must be to attack the planet so that they can get more energy to train Zerg soldiers. Knowing that there is an ambush ahead, they still rush in. What's the point of annihilating the whole army? If it turns out to be a Zerg trap, we might be able to rescue them by staying outside. "
The legion commander was silent. How could he not know that the sudden request for help was a bit strange?
According to what Li Quanzhi said, they encountered the Zerg on the waterway and were surrounded from front to back and left and right. However, their army did not see any movement at all. The Zerg scouts were usually flying insects, and the flagship's detection system did not detect it at all. It was clear that the Zerg were hiding, so they waited for the army to enter the ambush circle and surrounded the entire fleet to attack.
That would put the 12th Army in danger. In the past, they could retreat even if they couldn't defeat the Zerg. They could escape no matter how vast the starry sky was.
Once surrounded by Zerg, it's hard to say. Even if the flagship can break through, will there be no need for so many battleships and frigates? Each battleship has at least a thousand personnel.
After final discussion, the legion commander gave up the plan of rescuing people with the whole army, and instead went to protect the planet, and ordered a battleship to rescue people. Go back quickly. If they are surrounded by Zerg, the legion will attack the Zerg to open the blockade. Get them out.
Military orders are like mountains, and a warship that receives a mission must carry out the order even if it knows that there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, let alone to rescue people.
But having only one warship is very dangerous. Together with a large army, it still has the strength to fight against the Zerg. But a single warship has limited combat power. If it is really surrounded by the Zerg, it will be a near-death situation.
The captain of the battleship set off immediately after receiving the order.
As for the message in the distress message about the Crown Princess's parents coming to the boat quickly, no one paid much attention to it.
What about the Crown Princess’s parents? So many people had died at the hands of the Zerg, and countless of their comrades-in-arms had been torn to pieces and devoured by the Zerg. They no longer had much thought to think about anything else.
The staff officers of the 12th Army did not ignore it. It was because of this that they sent people to pick up the survivors on those ships.
Otherwise, they will really ignore those people. After all, it is clear which one is more important. If you don’t save the people who gave up the entire planet, it is not worth saving thousands of people. What’s more, it is obvious that there is a Zerg ambush ahead.
The 12th Army must maintain its strength, do more valuable things, save more people, sacrificing a small number of people, and letting the majority of people survive is a better choice. For the sake of the Crown Princess and her relatives, it is better to Send someone to check it out.
The Zerg saw that the human fleet had reached the entrance of the encirclement, but refused to come in. In the end, only one warship continued to sail, while the large force headed for the human planet.
How can this work? It plans to use part of its troops to contain the human army. Those king insects will lead the larvae to attack the planet, quickly occupy the entire planet, and collect energy to strengthen the team.
It must hold back the human fleet. Just give them half a day to allow hundreds of thousands of larvae to grow and continue to join the battle. Then even if the human army breaks through, it will be too late. Now that the main force of humanity is not fooled, is there any good solution?
The king insect is also experienced in the battlefield and has a special understanding of humans. Since the human army is not fooled, it will add more firepower.
Human beings are different from their Zerg counterparts. They attach great importance to emotions and the lives of their own kind. The leader of the human army must not be able to bear to see all those people die, so he feels that there are not many Zerg tribes to encircle and annihilate. He can easily eliminate them and rescue those who are surrounded. spaceships and fleets, and then it added fuel little by little, causing the opponent to continue to increase its troops, until it finally ate up all the human armies.
