Chapter 1286 Late arrival
The team leader confirmed his judgment, but unfortunately, the main force of the second team was still some distance away from the lone star beast.
Although the star beasts are huge in size, they are small targets compared to war machines like starships.
The distance is far, the targets are small... the main fleet cannot cause effective damage to them, so we can only rely on the fleet that advances.
However, the Fourth Master was not very interested in this suggestion. "The main purpose is to rescue the besieged friendly forces, arm the merchant ships and attack the star beasts!"
However, Asura Supreme's flash was indeed agile, and although the two armed merchant ships were gathering Martian beasts, they were difficult to lock onto.
Some of the attacks landed on it, but the main guns of both ships were repeatedly just a little bit off.
The fourth boss didn't care. He believed that the level of artificial intelligence was already high enough.
——If we continue to fight at this efficiency, we will be able to defeat the enemy sooner or later. War is something that cannot be rushed.
Qu Jianlei didn’t say anything else—it was really good to beat the new enemy like this, so we should give Xiaohu room to grow!
But the team leader was really annoyed. Where were your regimental ships? Why didn’t they participate in the concentrated fire?
However, at this time, it was really inconvenient for him to say anything in the channel.
When the battle has reached this point, he is still giving instructions on the local tactics of the starships ahead. He is not a qualified commander!
In this situation, we must give enough trust to the front-line commanders and fighters, otherwise we would be stretching our hands too far and not knowing how to focus on the big picture and let go of the small details.
Besides, even if he was willing to give the order, the other party would not listen. Instead, it would affect the commander's authority and would only make people look down upon him.
But he couldn't help but mutter, "These guys really don't know the lethality of the Supreme Star Beast."
The adjutant next to him heard his words and whispered a reminder, "The weaknesses of the star beasts and star nests... have not been communicated yet."
——If Hill's team could get the information earlier, maybe the results would be better?
Upon hearing this, the leader nodded without hesitation and said, "Pass it on immediately... Alas, I was too busy issuing combat orders."
It was actually the military's own fault for keeping private information too tightly under wraps, and the fleet responsible for alert didn't have enough information.
This is probably not just because of concerns about information leakage, but it is also normal - what soldier can resist the temptation of military merit?
However, after being surprised, the battle broke out hastily, and the team leader was so busy making arrangements to deal with the enemy that he became a little flustered.
Fortunately, it’s not too late to make up for it now!
After the relevant information was issued, the fleet commander's order also arrived - resolutely hold back the attacking star beasts!
The order was quite ruthless, "...even if the second team is wiped out, we must ensure that the encirclement and suppression on the front line can be successfully completed!"
The appearance of the second star beast nest really caught everyone by surprise.
Before this, they had never discovered that the star beast nests could actually fight together.
Otherwise, they would have conveyed the relevant information long ago. Why would they wait until the battle started before hastily distributing the information?
Ultimately it is a cognitive issue. The military believes that as a biological group, it is common for them to have territorial awareness.
For groups from different nests, it is probably impossible for them to co-exist peacefully, let alone fight in coordination.
This involves the security of living space and the exclusivity of resources.
If any ethnic group wants to grow and develop, internal stability and external expansion are inevitable.
Even among the three human nations, fierce battles would break out, let alone the star beasts?
Now it is proved that their judgment was wrong. The star beasts from different nests can really join forces to fight the enemy!
Of course, now that things have come to this, there is no need to consider these causes and effects anymore. The key is to stabilize the situation first.
Considering things like cognitive errors...it won't be too late after the war.
The fleet came here with redundancy in mind, so the second team was kept on alert and prohibited from leaving the field.
The accident came so suddenly that the command center could only rely on the second team to hold back the new mother nest reinforcements.
Only in this way can they concentrate their forces to destroy the first hive and then attack the second hive.
This is the only possibility to turn defeat into victory, and the commander has no other choice.
The leader of the second team was stunned for a moment before answering, "We will try our best... How long do we need to hold out?"
However, the above answer still makes people feel helpless, "We are not sure, at least two days... Are you confident?"
The team leader answered very frankly. "I don't have confidence. There are too many miscellaneous forces."
"I'll do my best... I'll make sure to hold the other party back before I die in the line of duty."
He said it in a tragic and heroic manner, but at the same time, the fourth boss was so angry that he wanted to curse, "I'm so rough..."
"The characteristics and weaknesses of star beasts and star nests are only now being passed on... Did these people grow up eating SHI?"
"Okay, calm down," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "At least we haven't been damaged yet, so let's focus on fighting."
At this moment, the besieged small fleet of the first regiment and third battalion also discovered the lone Asura Supreme.
Although they were struggling to resist the siege, several starships still opened fire on the Six-Armed Asura.
And it was obvious that some starships had already digested part of the information they had just received, and some company-level ships even participated in the attack with their main guns.
In fact, before this, the main guns of the company-class ships could not even break the defense of a small nest, let alone a sub-nest.
But now, their morale has obviously improved.
In particular, a tattered company-class ship, which had almost lost half of its mobility, actually tried to snipe the star beast from a long distance.
This fighting spirit is desirable, but Claire, who noticed this scene, couldn't help but complain, "Still fighting for monsters after such a bad situation?"
"Let them fight for it," Tianyin said calmly. Since she advanced to A-level, she has obviously become more talkative in the team.
"Anyway, even if they kill the Supreme Star Beast, they won't get any spoils."
This is also the reason why the team is not very keen on killing the Supreme Star Beast.
At the same time, the eight A-level warriors who were watching the battle in the captain's room also sighed, "It seems that the Star Beast Supreme has been neglected?"
"They want to rescue the Self-Defense Force fleet," the captain had already seen the purpose of his starship, "the goal is very clear."
"I don't think this is a good idea," said the first mate, the A-class who was almost publicly executed.
"On the battlefield, each unit has its own mission, and we must fully trust the combat effectiveness of our friendly forces..."
Anyway, they had nothing to do but comment on the battle situation, "Take advantage of the opportunity when friendly forces are holding back the enemy and strive to achieve greater results."
Then he turned his head to look at Hill, "Sir, don't you think it should be like this?"
"The combat awareness is different," Hill said impartially.
"There is no most correct answer on the battlefield...there are only results, no assumptions."
The captain shook his head. "If it were you, you would definitely kill the Supreme Star Beast. That would be a military achievement!"
"Not so sure?" Hill didn't care about the other party's comments on him. He could still afford to make a joke.
He frowned and muttered softly, "I underestimated the other party's wisdom..."
"This is not a race war, this is a war of civilizations."
While they were analyzing, the three starships of Qu Jianlei's team had already advanced to the vicinity of the besieged fleet.
The situation of the besieged fleet was already quite bad. One sub-nest was targeting the regimental-level ships, and there were also five or six small nests.
The combat power of the battalion-level ship against the small nest is similar, but the problem is that they only have three battalion-level ships.
There are more than ten company-class ships, but they are basically unable to break through the defense.
——The information sent down by the fleet pointed out the weakness of the small nest. Once it was hit, the company-class ships could also achieve success.
Unfortunately, the information came a little late, and the weak point...where is it so easy to hit?
The latter is particularly important. Company-level ships can only attack weak points, so two or three company-level ships can basically not attack a small nest.
Once the enemy's attack hits the company-level ship, it is enough to break the defense.
In just a short while, a battalion-level ship was seriously injured, and almost all company-level ships suffered varying degrees of damage.
Among them, two company-class ships were seriously damaged, one was blown up, and one was almost devastated.
When Qu Jianlei and his team arrived, a small nest emitted a loose white light towards the starship that had lost its combat effectiveness.
"It's dangerous there..." Zi Jiuxian couldn't help but scream, "It feels like a projection!"
The term "projection" came from the information they had just obtained. The Star Nest could project star beasts toward the target and then engage in close combat.
The most typical phenomenon during projection is this loose white light.
However, at this time, the fourth boss still spoke coldly, "The focus of the attack is the small nest, and take into account the sub-nests!"
They really wanted to rescue each other, but the star beast had already launched a projection, and the next attack would be difficult to be absolutely accurate.
Not only was the company-class ship damaged, its maneuverability was almost non-existent, and only a few firepower points were still holding up.
The most crucial thing is that if the protective shield is lost, the slightest deviation in our attack will result in the massacre of our friendly forces!
Moreover, on the battlefield, local victory or defeat always gives way to the overall situation.
Well, the fourth boss admitted that he was a bit hypocritical.
When they refused to attack the Star Nest, they believed that their own safety was the most important, but now they have to consider the overall situation.
But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it - their own fighting power was so strong that they certainly couldn't sacrifice themselves for a random order.
They are not even from the Federation, why should they bear such a heavy price?
Moreover, they were able to disobey orders and escape by relying on their own strength - if you have the ability, you can do the same.
The battlefield is not a place for tenderness - comrades who can be saved can be saved, but for those who cannot be saved, we can only offer our blessings.
Big-headed Butterfly didn't understand what he meant for a moment, "Are we going to save those people?"
"He may be worried about accidental injury," Qu Jianlei communicated with it much faster than the Fourth In Command, just a thought.
"But it's true. We should attack the enemy's manpower first... Well done!"
