The outpost that was attacked was actually a small warship, and its star system was less than a hundred light years away from the center.
Although from the preservation of the energy of officers and soldiers and more effective monitoring of the situation in the area, civilizations with rich wealth like the Polar Race often spend huge amounts of money to build special outposts. For example, there are many large outposts in the northern part of the Southern Region. But during the war, no civilization would expend resources to build temporary outposts. Under normal circumstances, warships are used, and they are damaged in battle, and their combat effectiveness is affected by the grandchildren, and even the battleships that have completely lost their combat effectiveness. Of course, some key equipment of the warship, such as power plants and communication equipment, will be repaired according to the situation. In addition, a stronger ecosystem will be provided for the warship based on the number of officers and soldiers stationed there.
In fact, it is not strange to change the battleship into an outpost.
There are thousands of outposts converted from warships on the Greenwich Defense Line, and the outpost where Yang Yi was in service was transformed from a warship damaged in the war, and it can accommodate tens of thousands of officers and soldiers. It's just that usually only a thousand people are stationed.
Of course, the outpost that was attacked was not an abandoned warship, but a brand new warship, just a small warship.
The Extreme Clan has just entered the war, and the Extreme Clan fleet has not really competed with the enemy, so it hasn't lost many warships.
Because this perseverance is tied to the route from the eastern region to the central region and acts as a space jump node, the Extreme Clan sent a battleship over. According to the arrangement, this small warship stayed outside the star system, using various detection equipment it carried to closely monitor the situation in the star system, and immediately reported anomalies after it was discovered. Because it is not in the star system, the probability of being discovered is not high.
Of course, because it is only a surveillance mission, there is no need to enter the star system.
So here comes the problem.
The attacking post must be the enemy's attacking army, and the enemy's attacking army will inevitably arrive by jumping through space, and it will also enter the star system. Then, before the enemy's attacking army exits the space channel, the space fluctuations caused by the opening of the space channel exit will be detected by the detectors deployed at the outpost. Even if it is a large warship that arrives, the officers and soldiers in the outpost can prepare for battle in time, instead of issuing an alarm after being attacked, and it is even less likely to lose contact after the alarm is issued. You know, that is a small warship that is known for its speed. As long as it can spot the enemy in time, it will definitely be able to escape even if it can't beat it.
Unless, the enemy did not enter the star system, but completed a space jump outside the star system.
Although unbelievable, this is the only reasonable explanation.
The key point is that the small warship has a limited tonnage. Because it is equipped with more officers and soldiers to perform surveillance tasks, it cannot carry too much detection equipment. The surveillance area is limited to the inside of the star system, so no detectors are deployed outside. It is impossible. Discover anomalies outside the star system in time. You must know that space fluctuations also travel at the speed of light. Without the deployment of detectors, it would be impossible to detect distant anomalies in time just by relying on detection equipment on small warships. Obviously, the enemy appeared outside the star system, and first discovered the small battleship of the Extreme Race, and then launched a surprise attack, so that the officers and soldiers on the small battleship did not have time to take action.
So why did the enemy attack the post
You know, the target of the attack on the army is the star system in the central region, and the outpost is outside the central region. Unless the enemy's commander is an idiot, he won't be stunned before entering the central area, and he won't expose his whereabouts in order to attack a post.
More importantly, it is the capital ship that can complete the space jump outside the star system and find the outpost, because only the capital ship has the ability to navigate independently and is equipped with enough detection equipment. Of course, only capital ships can destroy the small battleships of the extreme races in one fell swoop. If it is other warships, even large warships, the main guns they are equipped with may not be able to destroy a small warship in one fell swoop.
So, why did the enemy's capital ship fight here
In fact, the enemy's capital ship had no reason to attack the outpost at all, but should go to the central area and attack the local star system.
Unless the enemy's purpose is to expose the whereabouts, and to draw all nearby Polar Race warships over.
Don't forget, before that, Queen Kang Sheng had transferred the Polar Realm fleet to the Eastern Region to assist the Legion to deal with the wild orc legions of various star systems. Although not all fleets have come to the eastern region, there are not many polar warships remaining in the central region. According to the deployment of Queen Kang Sheng, these warships are distributed on the main strategic routes and are responsible for guarding these routes and the star systems on the routes. Simply put, it is to ensure that the routes leading to the various star systems in the central area are unimpeded, and to ensure that the occupation of each star system can proceed normally. Although there are many routes, it is impossible for the Polar Race fleet to move together, but there are not too few warships scattered in various locations, at least there are several. And near the key star system of the main route, there are usually dozens or even a few. Hundreds of warships of the extreme clan. In other words, with the presence of these warships, it is absolutely impossible for an attacking army to enter these star systems.
Obviously, only by diverting the warships of the Polar Territory, the attacking army can attack the main star system in the central region.
Of course, this is the future.
It now appears that the enemy's initiative to attack the outposts of the Extreme Clan is not creating opportunities for attacking the star system in the central region, but creating opportunities for more attacking troops to enter the central region. To put it simply, the Polar Race monitors all the routes leading to the central area, so most of the attacking troops cannot enter the central area without being spotted. For those attacking troops that only have ordinary warships or troop carriers, as long as they are found, they will be overtaken by the extreme warships. Obviously, most of the attacking troops are still in the eastern region, but not far from the central region. The enemy attacked the post at this time, just to draw the polar warships in the nearby star system.
Obviously, after receiving the alert from the outpost, nearby warships will rush over.
Fortunately, the elder in charge of the blockade has figured this out, and before reporting to Queen Kang Sheng, he gave orders to other warships performing surveillance missions to stay in their own star system. Of course, the elder dispatched warships from other places to investigate the situation, but he couldn't arrive in time, it would take some time. Because it was just a small battleship with very weak combat effectiveness, it might have been completely destroyed by the enemy, so even if the rescue battleship rushed past, it might not be able to function. The key is still to maintain the integrity of the defense line and closely monitor all routes leading to the central area to ensure that the enemy cannot enter the central area.
"According to our judgment, the enemy’s main force should still be in the eastern region, but not far from the central region, perhaps concentrated in a certain place. As long as we maintain the integrity of the defense line, the enemy will not be able to remain undetected by us. In other words, it won’t be long before the enemy will launch an attack again, and it is very likely that the same method, or even the same attacking army, will be used. I have already issued orders to other outposts to strengthen the attack outside the star system. It’s monitoring efforts to avoid sudden attacks by the enemy. However, there are very few battleships that can be used now, especially capital ships, so we need to spend some time to organize a fleet."
"Have you thought about another question?"
"what?"
Queen Kang Sheng glanced at the elder and said: "The enemy sent out hundreds of thousands of attacking troops, half of which used our troop carriers, and the others used battleships, and some were capital ships. In addition, in our transportation Among the military spacecraft, some have independent navigation capabilities. Since the enemy can attack an outpost so close to the central area, it must not be far from the central area. In other words, those attacking troops using warships do not need to pass through other spaces at all. Jumping nodes can directly enter the central area. If our defense line is of any significance, it will only block the attacking troops using troop carriers that do not have the ability to independently navigate, preventing them from directly entering the central area. Before making the last space jump, we must travel to a star system that has been monitored by us."
The elder nodded, indicating that he understood what Queen Kang Sheng meant.
"Obviously, those are not the main force of the enemy."
"This… "
"According to your deployment, we will closely monitor all the star systems in the neighboring central region, and at the same time mobilize and organize enough warships to prepare to deal with those attacking troops that rush into the central region. Of course, the enemy will definitely come and will be there. We attacked our outpost again shortly afterwards. The problem now is that when we concentrate our fleet on this line of defense, the rear becomes even more empty."
"Your Majesty, you mean..."
"If those attacking troops with warships have entered the central area and launched an attack, can we cope with it?"
The elder was taken aback for a moment, and looked very shocked.
"More importantly, the attacking forces that can enter the central area have battleships, and they are mainly battleships. Therefore, the target of the attack may not be the star system, but it may be the transport fleet on various routes. Don't forget, we Preparations are being made for the relocation of the Human Federation to the Central Region. Almost all transport spacecraft are dispatched, and a large number of non-combatants are also used. If too many fleets are attacked, the preparations will not be completed in time."
"what should we do?"
"Send all the fleets you mobilized back, continue to perform security missions according to the previous arrangements, and focus on protecting the transport spacecraft on various routes."
"But… "
"Of course, the defensive line must be maintained, but I will take care of it myself."
"His Majesty!"
"If you have news, contact me immediately." Queen Kang Sheng exclaimed, "Even if the attacking troops still in the eastern region are not the enemy's main force, they cannot be allowed to enter the central region. If these enemies are eliminated, we will be much easier, and only then can we mobilize enough troops to deal with other attacking troops. In other words, you must provide the enemy with a chance to enter the central area."
The elder was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, indicating that he understood what Queen Kang Sheng meant.
