At this time, Babanya was a little dumbfounded.
He was obviously going to attack Verras, so why did he take a star path and end up at the end of the first main spiral arm? And it’s also the starting point of the Zerg-fallen zone, Deao!
As an affiliated force of the Vera Federation, the Babavi Empire did not know the detailed information like a formal member, but it also learned that Prince Hasso of the Triangle Empire led 15 million warships and fought 100 billion insects not long ago. .
Moreover, Babanya knew that although Prince Hasso relied on a powerful defense system and the cooperation of warships to hold the line of defense and annihilate all the insects, he also lost most of his combat power, which was quite tragic.
Those were just 100 billion bugs, and what was he facing now? The number of bugs currently rushing toward our vanguard fleet is no less than 500 billion!
The most critical thing is that he can only assemble at the speed of a wave of 5,000 warships every half minute, but cannot directly use the full combat power of 30 million warships. The prospect is extremely pessimistic.
However, according to observations, the culprit that caused a large number of battle losses in the Triangle Empire in the past, the bugs that can attack from a distance, have not been found according to the scan. This is a blessing among misfortunes.
If there were only close-range fighting bugs here, then there seemed to be a glimmer of hope for him.
In the star system Deo, the number of warships that the Babavi Empire has arrived at this moment has finally reached 100,000. A relatively complete and small defensive formation has been formed. Compared with just now, the firepower has been further strengthened.
Speaking of fighting bugs, there is really nothing to fear until you get close. The main gun of a battleship of the fourth level civilization can sweep all the way with one shot. It can kill dozens at least, or even hundreds of them. After all, The insect swarms are so dense that you almost don’t have to deliberately aim.
As for the tactics, Babania has already thought about it. When the insect swarm is close enough to threaten the fleet, all the warships will make a short-distance jump. On the one hand, they will lure the insects away from the entrance of General Babavi, and on the other hand, they will come back again. Keep distance.
As long as the bugs that can attack from a distance don't appear, Babanya believes that these 500 billion bugs can be slowly eliminated by flying kites.
It has to be said that Babanya reacted very quickly and the tactics he formulated were flawless.
Of course, this would have been the case if Lin Fan had not sent the second gift!
When the Babavi fleet gathered 200,000 warships, the insect swarms had also surrounded them from all directions, and the nearest one was more than 500,000 kilometers away.
Seeing this, Babanya immediately ordered all warships to make an ultra-short jump of 10 million kilometers.
However, at this moment, a change occurred!
All battleships reported that their jump engines were malfunctioning and they were unable to jump.
This was the second gift Lin Fan sent, along with thousands of monitors and dozens of jump blocking equipment.
When these dozens of jump blocking devices arrive at Drew, they will start their thrusters and fly towards different discoveries.
As mentioned before, according to intelligence, the Zerg completely ignores inanimate objects that are not actively attacking. Therefore, even if these jump blocking devices fly past a bug, the bug will remain indifferent.
The working range of the jump blocking equipment is a full 1 light-year distance. No matter how far it flies, it will still cover the exit of the star gate.
Unless the Babavi Empire finds all the jump-blocking devices and destroys them all, the jump can continue. But unfortunately, these jump-blocking devices have flown no less than 10 million kilometers.
For the Babavi warship currently being surrounded by swarms of insects, even if it is discovered, there is nothing that can be done. What's more, with the technology of the Babavi Empire, it is simply impossible to detect it at this distance.
At this time, the entire fleet was a little panicked. The Babavi people who thought they could fly a kite and escape these insects, now looked at the hundreds of billions of insects rushing towards them, and their faces turned dark.
"Let the technicians find out the cause immediately, don't mess up the formation, release all carrier-based aircraft, and continue to block the attack!"
"Babania shouted to a group of commanders on the front line through remote command in the Star Path!"
After Babania shouted this, these commanders came back to their senses. Now was not the time to be in a daze. They ordered their warships to release all carrier-based aircraft to protect the warships, and continued to maintain firepower to block the attack.
But such a blockade is destined to be in vain. After all, the number of Zerg is too huge. When the Zerg swarm crashed into the battleship array of the Babavi Empire, more than 200,000 battleships were instantly submerged.
Immediately, Babanya discovered through the command terminal that one warship after another was being lost rapidly, and this was not the way to go.
"Have the technicians found the cause of the jump engine failure?"
Babanya asked the commander on the front line.
But there was no clear answer, and his last hope was shattered, so he had to issue an order that seemed a bit stupid to him.
"Order all battleship engines to be turned to maximum. The flying speed of these bugs does not exceed 10,000 kilometers per second. Use the speed advantage to rush out!"
The frontline commanders who received the order also understood that although this order was very stupid, it was also the only feasible way at present, and immediately ordered all warships to start an assault at full speed.
"Order the follow-up warships to break out at full speed immediately after leaving the Star Road. Wait until they reach a safe place before gathering the troops. Don't stay at the exit, otherwise, the insect swarm will always block the exit."
After thinking for a moment, Babanya added another order to his adjutant.
"Yes, Marshal Barbania!"
Five minutes later, the fleet broke through the insect swarm and rushed out!
After all, the speed of the main battleship of the Babavi Empire is several times the flying speed of insects. As long as a certain amount of damage is paid, it is still no problem to rush out.
However, this loss was quite heavy. During the breakout process, half of the battleships were lost.
The 5,000 warships that arrived less than half a minute later followed Babanya's order and immediately broke out. Their casualties were much better than the previous 200,000 warships.
After all, most of the bugs chased the 200,000 battleships and left the exit of the star gate, which also greatly reduced the pressure on the subsequent battleships.
But even so, they still need to rush out immediately, as Babanya said, if they stay still, the swarm of insects will be attracted again.
Therefore, the battleship assembly point must not be placed at the exit, and it must be ensured that there are no bugs in this area.
Relying on this tactic, the Babavi Empire finally escaped disaster. There were almost no Zerg at the exit of the space channel, and the warships that had come out were sneaking away while gathering the newly arrived fleet.
All in all, it looks like everything is changing for the better.
