Chapter 382 Planetary Defense War

Chapter 379

That's more than a thousand warships, a whole fleet, just gone.

Let's not talk about the losses of the fifth and sixth fleets, just the 1,250 warships of the fourth fleet, each with 7,000 Nell people, 8.75 million Nell people died in one fell swoop.

When the Nell civilization coexisted with the three-star domain, this number of people was really nothing, but since they were defeated by artificial intelligence and set foot on the starry sky, the total population of the Nell people has been declining sharply.

Not to mention the population of the mother planet was slaughtered by the artificial intelligence consciousness, there were only about 2 billion people who could follow them to the starry sky to escape.

Now more than 8 million people died in one fell swoop, how could the Nell governor not feel distressed.

Well, human warships, due to the higher degree of mechanization and automation, only need about 5,000 people to exert their full combat effectiveness, but the Nell civilization is not like that. Their lake-class warships need at least 7,000 Nell people working in various positions to ensure that the warship can exert its full performance.

So even though the same warship was destroyed, the loss of the Nell people was much greater than that of humans.

Counting the loss of more than 400 warships of the fifth and sixth fleets, the Nell people have now lost at least 12 million Nell people.

The Nell civilization is a normal second-level civilization. If it were placed in the previous era of the three-star domain division, this loss would not be a big deal, but now, it has been somewhat damaged.

When receiving the first phase of the war report, the Nell governor even thought that it was humans who deliberately let the Nell people die.

But he did not dare to question Yue Yuan in person, because he and even the entire Nell high-level people have deeply realized that human civilization is much stronger than the Nell civilization, especially in military strength.

Even if humans only have two fleets, if they really want to fight, the Nell civilization will definitely be beaten.

What's more, the Nell civilization has now boarded the coalition ship. The main body of the Nell civilization, those residential spaceship clusters with more than 2 billion Nell people, have now followed the human civilization to the next star system.

In this case, the Nell civilization can only follow humans all the way to the end.

Well, in fact, many high-ranking people of the Ner also understand that it is not correct to say that they will go all the way with humans, because this trouble originally had nothing to do with humans. It was the Third Domain of the Ner civilization that caused the emergence of this artificial intelligence consciousness.

However, seeing the war losses of the Ner people, they still have some complaints in their hearts.

Of course, humans do not know the thoughts of the Ner people, nor do they know that many Ner people have attributed the desperate actions of the Fourth Fleet to their own propaganda.

If they knew, although humans would not care much, they would definitely feel very wronged.

Because in the process of the joint tactical exercise of the coalition forces, the human commander only said some words about military honor to some Ner commanders and captains, and did not specifically mention that they should sacrifice themselves in the battle.

So in the eyes of humans, this is completely the awakening of the blood of the Ner civilization itself.

Just as a group of high-ranking people of the Ner people were entangled in the war losses, the image of Yue Yuan appeared on the big screen on their flagship of the Third Fleet.

"Your Excellency, Deputy Commander, the fleet of the artificial intelligence consciousness body has already rushed to the second planet, and the second phase of the war is about to begin."

After the video call was connected, Yue Yuan went straight to the point. At this time, he did not call the Governor General of the Ner people as His Excellency, but called him Deputy Commander, which meant that he was speaking as the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces.

Nominally, all fleets of the Ner civilization must accept his command, and the Third Fleet led by the Governor General of the Ner people himself is the same. This was agreed upon by both parties when the Allied Forces Headquarters was established.

So when they heard Yue Yuan say this, even if they had all kinds of doubts in their hearts, a group of Ner senior officials sat upright and looked at the big screen, looking serious.

After watching the Ner people for a long time, Yue Yuan could probably see some of their behaviors. He knew that when none of the Ner people raised their claws or one claw to make a move, it meant that they were listening very seriously.

So seeing the state of the Nair people, Yue Yuan nodded secretly, and then he continued: "Under the heroic battle of the Fourth Fleet, the Fifth and Sixth Fleets successfully escaped the pursuit of the artificial intelligence fleet, and now have circled back to the vicinity of the second planetary orbit from both sides of the starry sky, so the next step is to carry out the planned planetary defense battle!"

Yue Yuan said this, in fact, he knew very well that the successful escape of the Fifth and Sixth Fleets had nothing to do with the Fourth Fleet, because the fleet was only commanded by the artificial intelligence combat AI program. The reason why he spoke in this way was that he said so after learning that the Fourth Fleet was completely annihilated.

The purpose is to let the Nair high-level people know that the coalition headquarters still remembers the contribution made by the Fourth Fleet.

"Now we know that the fleets separated by the artificial intelligence consciousness are controlled by combat AI, so the general strategy remains unchanged. Your Third Fleet, Manyuemei Second Fleet and my First Fleet, the three fleets will conduct defensive operations against the artificial intelligence fleet according to the original plan."

"Remember, this battle is the second stage of the entire strategy. We must not be wiped out like the Fourth Fleet. Remember that our goal is to use the Second Planet Defense System to consume the artificial intelligence fleet, not to annihilate the artificial intelligence fleet here, so we must preserve our strength as much as possible."

"After that, the fifth and sixth fleets that have completed the mission will go to the first planet on the other side of the red dwarf after the orbit of the second planet. Our three fleets will also evacuate to the second battlefield after the second planet is lost. The victory or defeat depends on this move. I hope you will work hard together!"

Yue Yuan's call was not only to the third fleet of the Nair Governor, but also to the second fleet of Manyuemei.

"Understood!"

"Commander-in-Chief, rest assured, we know!"

After the commander of the two fleets and the deputy commander of the coalition forces responded, the three fleets began to distance themselves and went to their respective positions to start the second phase of the blocking mission.

As Yue Yuan said, the task of the second phase is not to defend, but to cooperate with the base artillery of the second planet to consume the artificial intelligence fleet.

The overall tactics are the same as the fourth, fifth, and sixth fleets, except that the charge and test link is missing.

In other words, the first, second, and third fleets now have to distance themselves first, release the second planet area, and then jump out to consume it when the artificial intelligence Canon fleet begins to land.

The tactics are mainly based on long-range strikes.

However, since the artificial intelligence consciousness has a precedent of dividing into squadrons, the Allied Command also reminded the commanders of the second and third fleets to pay attention to this situation.

Yes, just pay attention.

The combat effectiveness of these three fleets is not comparable to that of the fourth, fifth, and sixth fleets. As long as the artificial intelligence consciousness dares to divide the squadrons to be controlled by the combat AI program as before, there will definitely be no return.

The overall strategic policy is to further consume the artificial intelligence fleet at this stage, and then launch a decisive battle to annihilate it in the second battlefield.

Therefore, in the plan, the sign of the end of this stage is that the artificial intelligence fleet breaks through the planetary defense. Of course, there are also emergency prevention plans.

For example, if during the consumption process, the artificial intelligence consciousness rotates like the fourth fleet, and the entire fleet presses towards a certain fleet, then this fleet will move to the second battlefield in advance.

If the artificial intelligence fleet follows and chases, then the war will enter the second battlefield in advance.

Everything is still as planned.

In this way, the three fleets began to move slowly from a relative position with a distance of only a few light seconds, heading towards the far reaches of the starry sky.

Such behavior, in the eyes of the AI ​​consciousness in the distance, seemed as if the three fleets deliberately gave up the second planet.

This was indeed the case.

When the three fleets left with long tail flames spewing back to back, the second planet was like an undefended planet, opening its arms to welcome the AI ​​fleet that was getting closer and closer.

At this moment, after the first round of consumption, the AI ​​fleet also lost almost 6,000 warships, and its total number was probably only more than 43,000 warships.

The fleet that the AI ​​consciousness had previously separated had returned to the main force, and the current AI fleet had gathered into a battleship cluster like before.

The planetary defense war was a consumption tactic planned by the coalition headquarters.

However, what surprised the coalition headquarters was that the AI ​​fleet suddenly began to turn after it came to a position about 1 astronomical unit away from the second planet.

The steering thrusters of the entire fleet were all turned on in the starry sky, and made an obvious turning action on the forward voyage, killing towards the third fleet.

With the previous experience of the fourth fleet, this seemingly old trick did not pose much threat to the third fleet.

After learning that the AI ​​fleet had given up the mission to land on the second planet and was heading for him, the governor of the Nair people made a prompt decision and immediately sent the third fleet to the second battlefield.

Seeing this situation, the first and second fleets were not idle either, but immediately ordered the fleet to make a 90°~180° turn in the starry sky, biting the AI ​​fleet's ass from two directions.

However, surprisingly, the AI ​​fleet only chased the third fleet for about 0.3 astronomical units, and then made a big turn in the starry sky, and killed the first fleet behind it.

Yue Yuan did not engage in battle with the AI ​​in this move, and directly sent the first fleet to turn around at the maximum acceleration and continue to keep a distance.

The maneuverability of human warships is better than that of Nair warships, so it is not too easy for the first and second fleets to use such a pulling tactic.

As long as the AI ​​fleet does not land or is not lured to the second battlefield, the first, second, and third fleets will not formally fight with it, but will fight with it like now.

Anyway, the maneuverability of the human fleet is slightly better, and there is no fear of being caught by the artificial intelligence fleet during the pursuit. And there is another important point. The artificial intelligence fleet has come from a long way. If it continues like this, it will eventually have to land on the second planet for development and supply due to fuel issues.

Therefore, the coalition is not in a hurry at all. On the contrary, it is more willing to keep fighting with the artificial intelligence fleet in space.

There are two chapters today, but both chapters are 3,000 words, so the volume is larger.
