Chapter 146 Guarding the Planet
The next morning.

Feng Mo turned on the smart terminal and received a lot of messages. Yesterday, Gu Jun pulled him into a communication group, which included the commanders of various fleets.

These messages are all about the losses caused by the interstellar Zerg invasion yesterday. Some fleets encountered a large number of interstellar Zerg and suffered heavy losses, while some fleets destroyed a large number of Zerg motherships.

On the front battlefield, the interstellar Zerg did not launch a large-scale attack, but only carried out small-scale harassment, stationing a large number of Zerg motherships to prevent the three T5 fleets from supporting the side lanes.

Every time they need to bypass the Xuanwu Interstellar Fortress, the Interstellar Zerg will launch a general attack on the fortress to tie down the living forces inside the fortress. Although each attack on the Xuanwu Interstellar Fortress causes heavy losses, there will always be some that slip through the net and are sent to the second line of defense in the northern theater by the Interstellar Zerg.

This is why Feng Mo and other thirteen commanders are needed to guard thirteen defense planets. Feng Mo guarding planet Z043 can just radiate the eight surrounding planets.

Any movement within this range will be detected by the radar system. Coupled with the fleet’s occasional patrols, it is enough to ensure that no interstellar race will be allowed to cross the defense line!
When facing the interstellar Zerg hive motherships, you must hold the defense line and fight to the death. Once they open a gap, it will be like a dam bursting, rushing through, unstoppable, and the entire defense line will be greatly affected.

At this time, in the universe outside Planet Z043, Al was commanding the fleet to clean up the battlefield. There were only a few T3 Zerg motherships. The patrolling fleet could destroy them with a few shots when they encountered them. It was not a big deal.

This situation has occurred frequently in recent days, indicating that the pressure on the front-line Xuanwu Interstellar Fortress is increasing, which is not a good phenomenon.

“Alert, the radar system has detected the energy signals of a large number of Hive Motherships ahead!”

Just after Al commanded the fleet to clean up the battlefield, the adjutant came to report.

“Is a large-scale battle about to begin?” Al muttered to himself.

At this time, the smart terminal on Feng Mo’s arm was vibrating wildly, and a large amount of communication information came. It turned out that the interstellar Zerg on the front line launched a large-scale attack on the Xuanwu Interstellar Fortress half a day ago. In order to prevent the sudden appearance of any fish that slipped through the net, the commanders of each fleet were reminded to pay attention to patrols.

Feng Mo had already prepared for the battle. Why go to the battlefield if not to fight? He did not look as solemn as other fleet commanders. He was more of a little excited.

Because he earns double star coins, other fleets earn a lot of military merit after a star war, and Feng Mo does earn both military merit and star coins. A large number of interstellar Zerg corpses are treasures in Feng Mo’s eyes. After a star war, the collected Zerg corpses can make Feng Mo earn at least 100 million star coins.

These are the basic guarantees for him to build four galaxy territories. With the help of Han Peipei, Feng Mo put on his combat uniform, and then the two of them took the interstellar vehicle to Star Port No. 1.

“The Storm Fleet assembles and takes off to support Aiel!”

Feng Mo calmly gave the order that it would still take some time for the hive mothership to arrive at Planet Z043, so there was no need to rush.

Two quasi-T5 flagships and 58 combat starships have all been assembled. They can fight the enemy with normal aircraft carrier battle groups, waiting for the arrival of the interstellar Zerg.

“Alert! The radar system scan was successful. The number of Zerg starships is 4339, including 4 T74-class Hive Motherships, 3 T370-class Hive Motherships, 2 T1518-class Hive Motherships, and 1 T2377-class Hive Motherships.”

Feng Mo was a little surprised when he heard the number scanned by the radar system. It seemed that the pressure on the front line was too great. Could so many Hive Motherships have been missed? It seemed that three T5 fleets were not enough. However, there were only nine T5 fleets in the four empires in the northern theater, one of which was sailing far away to perform a mission. Four of the remaining eight fleets needed to guard the four empires.

Three T5 fleets guarding the Xuanwu interstellar fortress and one T5 fleet for maneuvering are already the best options. Unless the four major empires can send the imperial guard fleet to the front line, the situation will be deadlocked here.

The number of hive motherships that attacked Planet Z043 this time was similar to that of the previous attack on Planet Z227, except that the Storm Fleet was no longer composed of only six starships as last time.

Nowadays, the entire Storm Fleet has as many as seven types of combat starships. The rich variety of ship types can achieve twice the result with half the effort when combined.

In the Hurricane’s main control room, Feng Mo sat in the captain’s chair and said to the video windows of the captains in the holographic virtual image in front of the main console:

“Let’s make strategic deployments. Melo, four T4 Scorpions will stealthily approach the hive motherships and launch the first round of bombing, with a focus on the T4 hive motherships!”

“Al, release the interstellar drones to carry out three rounds of artillery attacks on the hive motherships. Don’t worry about the loss of the interstellar drones. The logistics industrial ships will give priority to serving the Elephant.”

“The T4 Blade and Shield class interstellar frigate has entered defense mode, aiming all close-range rapid-fire cannons at the Zerg mothership group, ready to intercept the attack at any time.”

“T4 Kangaroo and Hurricane main and secondary guns are charged and ready to follow the commander’s orders.”

“The last two T3 Boxers are ready to launch attacks on the Zerg motherships at any time. There is no need to save ammunition. This star war requires artillery fire coverage. I still say that I hope everyone here will be here in a year.”

“Yes!”

At the command, all the captains shouted in unison. Feng Mo’s strategy was very simple. He would let your Zerg motherships destroy at least one-tenth of them before they even see the Storm Fleet. Then the Storm Fleet would take advantage of its rest and launch the first round of attack before allowing you to destroy a part of them.

Finally, the two fleets engaged in a battle, with the smallest sacrifice in exchange for the greatest gain. Feng Mo didn’t want these crew members who had followed him for many years to die here. Talents are rare, and loyal talents are even rarer.

The captains who received the order took action one after another. The first to take action were the Melo sisters who commanded four T4 Scorpions. The elder sister commanded Scorpion No. , and Scorpion No. arrived stealthily at the front left side of the Zerg mothership group. The younger sister commanded Scorpion No. , and Scorpion No. arrived at the front right side of the Zerg mothership group.

The two women issued combat orders at the same time: “Radar system scans all enemy T4-class hive carriers, automatic aiming system locks on the target, combat plan begins!”

Following the order from the Mello sisters, four T4 Scorpions appeared at the same time, two in a group, with the star shield turned on to maximum power, and the ship-borne weapons were fired crazily at full firepower.

The four T4 Scorpions were like four assassins. They first approached the enemy silently, and then dealt a fatal blow to the enemy when the enemy was most careless. Coupled with their terrifying firepower and extreme speed, for a while even if the Zerg mothership group discovered the four enemy starships, they could not stop the performance of the four T4 Scorpions.
