MTL - Armor Frenzy-Chapter 1893 The reason is found
Asteroid Belt, Huo Qubing.
The target of this super warship is a small group of alien warships, fourteen in all.
At present, the situation in the asteroid belt is very complicated. There are enemy ships everywhere. Although there is no clear front line between the enemy and ourselves, the scope of the confrontation between the two sides is all over the asteroid belt.
The expeditionary warships are limited and cannot cope with such a huge defense area. With the addition of the asteroid belt fleet and the long-range defense bases scattered throughout the asteroid belt, they can barely cope with the enemy's multiple breakthroughs.
Originally, the Huo Qubing had been following the enemy ship unhurriedly, and had no intention of rushing on it now.
It's not that they don't want to destroy the enemy ship, but the aliens know that their own warships do not have the advantage of speed, and they also know the consequences of being pegged by super warships, so they set a safe distance.
To put it simply, the super battleship does not ask what to do when it is outside a safe distance; otherwise, if the super battleship crosses the safe distance, the alien fleet will immediately disperse, and the number of escapes is limited.
This kind of cat-and-mouse chase has been staged dozens of times between the enemy and ourselves, and both sides are aware of each other's routines, so Huo Qubing was not in a hurry before receiving the report.
However, Duan Zhiyang couldn't sit still after receiving the report from Ningwuguan, and Huo Qubing immediately accelerated and pursued the enemy at full speed.
There are no obstacles in space, and every move of Huo Qubing falls into the eyes of aliens. They quickly think of the battle in the direction of the comet. Before Huo Qubing crossed the cordon, the group of alien warships dispersed in advance. Running around like a frightened rabbit.
In such a situation in the past, Huo Qubing's method was to fly to the inner side of the asteroid belt to prevent enemy ships from taking the opportunity to break through.
Today was no exception. Although he was in a hurry to rescue, the enemy could not ignore it. Duan Zhiyang could only bear his temper and command the warship to detour to the enemy's flank.
Finding no opportunity to take advantage, the scattered enemy ships turned and retreated to the outer edge of the asteroid belt.
In the past, this time was the time for super battleships to pursue, but this time, Duan Zhiyang directly ordered the battleship to head towards the comet.
Shortly after the order was issued, Chief of Staff Ma Junwei approached Duan Zhiyang with the latest enemy report: "Commander, the latest situation!"
Duan Zhiyang found that Ma Junwei's face was wrong, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Ma Junwei said: "The situation is not right. The enemies in at least three directions have turned to the comet. Now the time is short, I think the comet will attract more enemies!"
Duan Zhiyang touched his stubble-covered chin and said thoughtfully, "What is it that attracts the enemy's fleet? Our actions? Or our lifeboats?"
"It's not clear yet, we have too little information." Ma Junwei said.
Duan Zhiyang's eyes were far-reaching, and he thought about it and said, "How about the enemy in the direction of the comet?"
"The remaining enemy ships are moving away."
Duan Zhiyang was taken aback: "Didn't you return to Comet?"
"No, I can guarantee this." Ma Junwei said with great certainty.
"Is it to rescue the remaining enemy ships?" Duan Zhiyang swiped his finger, called up a real-time image near the comet, and set up a virtual screen to display his own situation.
Ma Junwei said: "We are not the closest warships, but we are fast, and we must be the first to arrive in the airspace where the incident occurred. The positions of those enemy troops are much closer than us. According to their current speed, they must arrive earlier than us. ."
"That makes no sense." Duan Zhiyang said, "There are only so many remaining enemy ships, and we are so far away that if they want to escape, we have no chance at all. Now the enemy in the direction of Comet is fleeing, and in other directions Concentrating on the comet again, how can the enemy be so contradictory? There must be something we don’t know about here!”
Ma Junwei said: "But the enemy doesn't seem to be rushing to the lifeboat. According to the current situation we have, the remaining enemy ships should not have discovered the secret of the lifeboat... Could it be that they have already discovered it and deliberately pretended not to know, Are you going to wait for more enemy ships to gather over there?"
"I don't think so, but this possibility is the highest!"
Ma Junwei hesitated for a moment: "Then...is it a warning to the lifeboat?"
"The harm outweighs the benefit, so don't use it anymore," Duan Zhiyang said.
Even if an alarm is issued, it is impossible for the lifeboats to escape in front of the enemy, but it will affect the emotions of the soldiers. All lifeboats are exposed.
"The problem of the enemy..."
Duan Zhiyang called up the latest statistics on the distribution of the enemy and ourselves, and pointed his fingertips on several enemy groups close to the comet in turn: "This, this, and this are the groups of enemy ships you said, right?"
"right!"
"Let the battleship in charge of them keep up!" After he finished speaking, he looked down, "and then assign Yangguan and Jianmenguan to fill up positions to maintain enough pressure on the entire war zone!"
"Yes... What about the gaps left by the Sunshine and Jianmenguan? We have no more battleships to fill up!"
Duan Zhiyang said: "Contact the asteroid belt fleet and coordinate with the friendly forces to fill the positions. If the friendly forces have no extra warships, let the defense points in these two directions be on top!"
Ma Junwei nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"
Neither of the two mentioned lifeboats again. Although they didn't know what the enemy's purpose was, the expeditionary force would definitely not sit back and watch, at least they had to see the move. , can only hope that the enemy will not pass the staging point of the lifeboat.
It's not that the two of them are unfeeling, but that the battle is on fire. A qualified commander will not let personal feelings affect his judgment under any circumstances. Even if he pays a high price, he must deal with the enemy first.
Ma Junwei was about to leave~www.novelbuddy.com~ An intelligence staff hurried over: "Commander, Chief of Staff, just received new news from Ning No. 1!"
The two were stunned together, and Ma Junwei said, "Give it to me immediately!"
"Yes!" The intelligence staff agreed, and immediately turned over a report.
Ma Junwei just glanced at it, and immediately forwarded the report to Duan Zhiyang: "Commander, it's the report sent back by Lin Yi, they entered the comet!"
Duan Zhiyang directly pulled out a virtual screen and sent the report to it. Before seeing the content of the report, he first saw the pictures in the report.
It was an enclosed, dimly lit vast space full of hexagonal ice nests, many of which also contained alien warships.
Duan Zhiyang stared blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly looked up at Ma Junwei: "Is this inside a comet?"
Ma Junwei nodded: "Yes!"
"Great!" Duan Zhiyang was surprised and delighted, "The reason is found, order all ships to move forward at full speed, and immediately start interception!"
