Ariston Galaxy, near the entrance of the cosmic ocean current.
"Commander, the evacuation progress has reached 72.9%, and it is expected to be completed in another 18 hours!"
"Well, maintain the passage of ocean currents and make sure there are no collisions!"
Elfie nodded and said.
At this moment, she was not too worried about Arno's fleet, but rather worried about the channel in front of the entrance of the ocean current.
After all, Arno's fleet is already on its way to the preset trap, and if there is dense and uninterrupted traffic of spacecraft on the channel at the mouth of the ocean current, if there is any large-scale serial collision accident that blocks the mouth of the ocean current, it will be very dangerous. It will significantly affect the entire evacuation schedule!
In any case, the currently deployed labyrinth interference array and the terminal bomb may be able to scare Arno for a while, but they will definitely not scare him for a lifetime.
Therefore, the evacuation timetable is very important. Every hour of delay increases the probability of an accident by one hour.
"I understand, Commander!"
The adjutant also knew the stakes and immediately responded.
At the same time, it was more than 20,000 light-years away from the Ariston galaxy.
In the colorful hyperspace, Arno's fleet is constantly moving.
"General, we are about to reach the end of the area that the scout ship has explored, and we expect to exit hyperspace in ten seconds!"
"Okay, after exiting, immediately arrange for manpower to continue cracking the interference parameters in all areas!"
"Yes, General!"
Ten seconds later, the fleet that was originally sailing in hyperspace was once again forced to exit hyperspace and came under the starry sky because the hyperspace engine was interfered with.
Moi people are already very experienced in this change. After all, they have been used to it since they have been going back and forth more than ten times.
However, they did not realize that the situation this time was different.
This is why Elfie placed the terminal bomb so deep into the maze instead of on the outside.
The Arno fleet, which has become accustomed to this operation, did not conduct a comprehensive scan of the entire area as it did when it first entered the maze. Instead, it only scanned for the presence of local warships and did not notice it at all. There were no enemy warships, but there was something more deadly, beeping not far from their fleet!
"General, a burst of energy has been detected, located about 10 light years away from the front of our fleet array!"
An energy burst ten light years away
Hearing this, Arnaud was slightly startled, and then he was shocked when he remembered something.
"Quick, take the energy explosion point as the center and 5,000 light-years as the radius. Calculate how many warships our fleet will be covered within the spherical range. Immediately, immediately!"
"Yes, General!"
It didn't take much time, just operated on the virtual interface in front of me, and the result was already obtained. It only took three seconds.
"General, according to calculations, this range will cover most of the fleet at the front of our array, and it is estimated that more than 30 billion warships will be covered!"
"Damn it, notify all fleets immediately, adjust the direction of the ship's bow immediately, start the hyperspace engine, and return to the previous interference zone!"
"Yes, General!"
I hope I am overthinking it.
Looking at the busy bridge, Arno couldn't help but think so in his heart.
Yes, he was not very sure, but he did have a guess in this regard.
This maze-like interference array was basically designed by humans to guide themselves to a preset location.
As a result, I thought I had discovered a loophole in human deployment, so I stupidly jumped in.
Although Arnault reacted quickly and took action immediately, it was too late after all.
Half an hour later, when the entire fleet returned to the previous interference block, after some counting, it was found that a full 12 billion warships had not returned.
Obviously, those warships had been attacked before they escaped.
What is even more terrifying is that among the warships that successfully escaped, almost 20 billion warships also became ghost ships.
Yes, these warships successfully escaped, but the problem is that they were already infected when they escaped, but they had not fully attacked it yet, and during the return process
Therefore, the battleship returned, but it was a battleship with a pile of corpses.
This incident made Arnault dare not order the advance again.
Who knows, have humans deployed more such horrific weapons in this maze
—
At the entrance to the ocean current leading to the Tear North supercluster, the battleship Ther.
"Commander, the terminal bomb has been confirmed to detonate, and it is expected to affect 32 billion enemy ships. The enemy fleet has now returned to the previous node of the maze!"
"Very good, are the energy simulation devices ready?"
"Already prepared!"
"Then detonate them all!"
"clear!"
As the adjutant went to execute the order, Alfie turned his attention to the virtual star map in front of him.
In the star map, with the Arnaud fleet as the center, there are red dots that are constantly flashing more than 10,000 light-years away. They are distributed in a spherical equidistant shape and surround the Arnaud fleet in the middle.
Not long after, these red dots suddenly began to disappear one by one—
The location of Arno's fleet.
"General, a large amount of energy reaction suddenly appeared around our fleet, which is consistent with the previous reaction!"
"What, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Hearing this, Arnault was suddenly shocked. Was it the same reaction as before, or was it a lot more
Can you not be shocked by this
Just now, you destroyed more than 30 billion warships in just one move. Did you detect a large number of reactions around the fleet
Wouldn't that mean that his entire fleet would be destroyed
"Yes, General, about 10,000 light-years away from our fleet, there was an energy burst reaction in all directions, and this reaction was exactly the same as the previous one!"
"Wait, you said ten thousand light years away?"
"Yes, General Arnaud!"
"Asshole, can't you just make it clear from the beginning?"
Hearing this, Arno was furious.
Can we equate the area around this fleet with the area 10,000 light years away from the fleet
Did you almost get a heart attack from the fright
etc.
Just now my adjutant seemed to say that in all directions
Could it be
"Bring up the star map immediately and mark all detected energy reactions on it!"
"Yes, General!"
Soon, under the adjutant's operation, a virtual star map appeared on the bridge.
After seeing what the star map showed, Arno's face suddenly became very ugly.
Just as the adjutant said, the reaction of the energy burst appeared in every direction around the fleet, forming a spherical shape with itself as the center.
In other words, now my fleet can’t go anywhere.
All we can do is stay still!
