Chapter 1082: Battle of Stoke (XVIII)

Inside the fault channel, the flagship of the Third Guards Corps, the McGrath.

"Captain Taretel, we received a message from Commander Avila one minute ago, the content is..."

"Long live the Empire!"

"Then, the signals of its entire fleet were lost almost at the same time!"

Holding the report in his hand, the adjutant reported.

It can be seen from his eyes that his heart is not as calm as it appears, but rather he is quite shocked.

300 billion warships and countless soldiers of the empire all died in the self-explosion.

And this is because of the message that the legion commander replied to before.

After finishing the report, the adjutant looked at his superior, the commander of the Third Guards Corps, Taretel.

However, at this moment, Taretel was still very calm, with no fluctuation in his expression.

"Avila is very good and a qualified imperial commander!"

It was just this one sentence, without any further comment. Even the adjutant felt a little sorry for Avila.

"But Commander, according to calculations, with the Avila fleet not being able to launch its final attack, the black cavity tide phenomenon that can be triggered by the remaining punishment warships in its fleet should last for 2-3 days!"

"During this period, our warships."

The adjutant said nothing more, but glanced cautiously at Taretel.

The meaning is very simple. Although the enemy was killed, since the black cavity tide occurred at the entrance of the channel, the entire fleet of our side would be destroyed.

The most crucial thing is that this black cavity tide will not disappear in the next 2-3 days, and all the warships that arrive during this time will die instantly as soon as they go out of the channel, with no possibility of escape!

"Block this information and do not allow anyone outside the bridge to know it, no matter what position they hold!"

"Here, I'll do it right away!"

Obviously, Taretel was not going to tell the warships that would arrive in the next two or three days, and the soldiers on them, about this.

In this way, they would have no idea what they would face the moment they came out of the passage.

For Tarretl, since they are all going to die anyway, there is no need to know so much, and it will also avoid things that will shake the morale of the army, right?

But, at this moment

"Commander, the frontline fleet has sent a message, requesting instructions!"

"Let them wait. Are you talking about the frontline fleet, the one outside the fault channel exit?"

"Yes, Commander!"

The communications chief confirmed with a nod.

But when he confirmed this, Taretel's expression changed completely. This was the first time since the war began that his expression was no longer calm and even a little distorted.

The frontline fleet can also send messages to itself.

What does this mean?

It means that the passage is still safe.

But isn't there a black cavity tide occurring in the area outside the channel?

Could it be that.

Avila failed?

"Take over the video immediately. I want to ask in person."

"Yes, Commander!"

At this time, the adjutant also came over, and was also shocked after seeing Taretel's expression.

I just arranged for the information blockade. How come my army commander, who always looks calm and doesn't care about anything, has this expression now? "

After all these years, this is the first time I have seen the legion commander like this.

Could it be

What happened again?

Just as the adjutant was making such wild guesses, the communications chief also took over the footage.

"Commander, the communication has been connected!"

"Well, report your name and position!"

Taretl asked when a battleship captain in imperial uniform appeared on the screen.

"Reporting to the Legion Commander, I am Thales, the captain of the Third Assault Fleet, the Villean!"

"Thales, what's the current situation on the front line, and how is Avila's fleet now?"

"Captain, Lord Avila's fleet has been destroyed. Not a single ship is left. The enemy has now refocused all its firepower on us. Please give us your instructions, Commander!"

"How did you say Avila died? What did he do before he died?"

"Report to the Legion Commander, I don't know this?!"

Looking at the legion commander who was about to explode, Thales answered in a trembling voice.

However, this answer did not satisfy Tarretl.

"you do not know?"

"You are on the front line, how could you not know?"

He was almost roaring, and this was the first time that everyone on the bridge saw Taretel like this.

But if you think about it carefully, it's normal.

The reason why he was calm before was because he had absolute confidence that he could hold the key to final victory.

But at this moment, even the last key was broken, but he could not stop and still rushed towards the door. How could he remain calm?

What Zhen Yao said was the first time that Taretel had encountered a situation where he had used up all his trump cards but still had no other options after joining the army.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

"Captain, the only thing I saw was that a burst of black energy suddenly erupted in the center of Lord Avila's fleet array. After the explosion, this energy continued to wreak havoc in the array and soon destroyed all the warships. Not a single one was left!"

"Is that black energy still raging now?"

"No, it lasted about three minutes and then disappeared!"

Seeing the legion commander getting angry, even though he really didn't know how the Avila fleet disappeared, he still gritted his teeth and described everything he had seen.

Black cavity energy appearing in the center of the array?

Only lasted three minutes?

Damn, it couldn’t be those old guys in the Imperial Research Institute. The black cavity tide theory they proposed must be wrong in itself, right?

And he let Avila and the others commit collective suicide?

"Thales, I order you now to be the temporary commander of the front line from now on!"

"And I only have one request for you. Get as close as possible to the area where the Avila fleet was in trouble, and record in detail all the data you can obtain in that area."

“Finally, send the data back to our scientists for judgment!”

"Any questions?"

Although based on Thales' description, Taretel could almost confirm that Avila had indeed detonated according to his own orders, it was just that the theory of those old guys in the Science Department was completely wrong.

But there is another explanation for this situation that is equally plausible.

That was the opponent's god-level civilization that saw through Avila's tricks, and then used a horrible weapon to destroy his entire fleet.

If it is the first possibility, then it is fine, but if it is the second possibility, then the Third Guard Fleet is really possible.

Buried forever in the Stoke area!
