Chapter 1808: a small gift
Translator: 549690339
On the afternoon of the third day after leaving the fleet, the 30 grizzly-class heavy cruisers that had been ordered to lure the enemy arrived at the Orpheus Starfield. As soon as they approached the Starfield, a large number of red dots appeared on their shipâs radar.
Needless to say, the unknown fleet represented by these red dots must be the âPlayer fleetâthat had left. and at this moment, the âPlayer fleetâhad obviously discovered the presence of these grizzly bears!
âBoss! Thereâs a situation!â
âWhatâs going on?â
âThereâs a bunch of npcs here!â
âOh? How many are there?â
â30 heavy patrols!â
âThatâs great! What good luck! Just after we got rid of that guy, weâve encountered a bunch of fat sheep!â
âBoss, what do we do?â
âWhat do we do, my ass! Chase after them!â
..
Following the command of the captain, 150-60âłPlayer warshipsâwere like hungry wolves that had seen a flock of sheep. They pounced on them crazily!
âSpot, the enemy has found us!âA young captain shouted in the communication channel. Based on his heroic performance last time, Spot became the temporary commander of this team to lure the enemy.
âDonât rush, let them chase closer!âAlthough Spotâs tone was calm, beads of sweat formed on his forehead. After all, they were facing an enemy that was several times stronger than them, and the enemy had a powerful main ship, if they made a mistake, they would be doomed on the spot!
âOkay! Itâs almost time! The fleet is starting to turn!âSpotter saw that the enemy had less than 20 light seconds left, so he ordered the fleet to turn.
As a heavy cruiser, Grizzly was definitely not an agile warship, so it took a lot of time to turn.
âBoss! Theyâve found us!â
âWhat kind of lousy radar is that? They only found US after such a long time!â
âThatâs not good. If they had found us earlier, wouldnât they have run away already?â
âThatâs true. Ignore them and move forward at full speed. We definitely canât give them a chance to warp!â
âYes! Boss, donât Worry!â
All of a sudden, the âPlayerâfleet suddenly accelerated and instantly closed the distance between them and spotâs fleet by five to six light seconds.
âWarning! Warning! This ship has been locked onto by the fire control radar!â
..
Almost at the same time, the alarms in the bridge of the 30 grizzly bears sounded loudly. Although the âPlayerâs warshipsâhad not yet entered the shooting range, they had already locked onto spotâs fleet. In their eyes.., these heavy patrols had become food on the table!
âSpotter, the fleet has completed its turn. Are we starting to retreat?âA captain asked. Although he knew that this mission was a narrow escape, he still clenched his fists tightly at this moment, from this, it could be seen that this young captain was extremely nervous.
âThereâs no rush. Everyone, leave the gifts First!âAlthough spotter was also extremely nervous in his heart. After all, his current order represented the life and death of the entire fleet, he forced himself to calm down, at least on the surface, he looked as stable as Mount Tai.
âYes!âSure enough, Spotâs calm expression infected the other captains, and everyone quickly calmed down.
âRoll...â
At the same time, some spherical devices rolled out from the stern of the 30 grizzly bears. After these things left the hull, they automatically ignited, and then pushed forward for a short distance.
Very soon, behind the 30 grizzly bears, there were about a few hundred spherical devices spread out. These spherical devices scattered in the starry sky, covering a radius of about five light seconds.
Gravity Mine. This was a gift from Jiang Fei to spotter and the others before they left. Although it was a near-death mission, Jiang Fei could not let them die in vain, at the very least, he had to let them drag a few âPlayersâalong with them before they died!
These gravitational space mines were extremely small. They were only about five meters in diameter. This was completely negligible in the vast universe. Even the shipâs radar would ignore their existence, this was because these cosmic dust-grade things covered the entire universe. If they were detected by these things and called the police, the people in the battleship would be annoyed to death.
âWhoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...âjust as the Grizzlies finished laying their mines, a few scattered light cannons had already hit them. Although the distance was very far, causing the âplayer battleshipsâto have extremely poor accuracy.., however, it still caused a few grizzlies to be slightly injured.
One had to know that this battle was different from the past. In the past, the Grizzlies had always been accompanied by star-grade nanny ships. After they were injured, they would be repaired at any time. No one would care about such minor injuries. However, this time was different.., in order to maintain grizzly bearâs speed advantage, SPOTâs fleet did not have a starship-class healer accompanying them. This resulted in a situation where once a warship was injured, it could not be repaired.
âAlright! Itâs about time! Retreat at a uniform speed and increase your speed slowly!âThis was spotâs first order, hence, he did not dare to get too close to the âPlayer warshipâfor fear of making a mistake. Hence, when the âPlayer fleetâwas about to reach a safe distance, he gave the order to start retreating.
âBoss! Theyâre running!âWhen he saw that spot and the others were about to leave.., the âPlayersâwere very anxious. They had left the main force for the sake of gaining a little more experience and money. If they let spotâs fleet escape now, wouldnât they be wasting their efforts?
âThey canât escape! Advance at full speed!âThis âPlayer leaderâwas still quite confident, although the small fleet in front had already completed their turn, they were all heavy patrols, and it would take some time for them to accelerate. On the other hand, they were already moving at full speed, and it would not be long before they could catch up to them!
..
âSpot, received a clear code communication from the enemy!â
Just as Spotâs fleet started to retreat, a communication from the âPlayer fleetâmade these young captains somewhat confused.
âPatch it in!âSpott ordered.
âListen up, fleet in front. I order you to surrender immediately, or you will be killed!â
Spott and the others did not expect the communication message to be from the player. However, both sides understood that the player was only trying to stall for time, it would be best if they took the message seriously. Even if they ignored it, there would be no loss.
âScrew them!âPotter sneered. He had never thought of surrendering. Even if a bear wanted to surrender, as long as he had a brain.., he knew that a guy who could massacre an entire planet was not trustworthy.
âBoss, the vanguard is already in range!âAt this time, the âPlayersâthat were closest to the front had already brought spotterâs fleet into the firing range.
âFire freely!âAt this time, the âPlayer leaderâgave an order to the people of the spotterâs fleet. This was because he gave the order to fire freely instead of focusing fire. In this way, even if they were bombarded.., everyone in Spotterâs squadron might be injured, but there wouldnât be any warship sinking.
