Most of the time, frigates are cannon fodder, but that doesn't mean they are ineffective.

Not to mention the role of blocking guns for capital ships, frigates are all needed for escort, patrol, reconnaissance, guard, army landing support, etc.

Because of their diversity of functions, the proportion of frigates in a fleet is generally very high.

Their fleet only has 12 battleships, but there are more than 700 frigates.

In fact, when calculating the combat effectiveness of a large fleet, frigates will not be included in the calculation. It mainly depends on the number of large and medium-sized warships and their weapon configuration.

Just like the Crimson team united, they have as many as five or six thousand frigates, but to evaluate their strength basically only depends on how many battleships, cruisers and destroyers they have. There are not enough main battleships. If the frigates are added ten times, it will become 50,000 or 60,000.

Not even to the edge of the Reef Nest system.

After quickly killing the escort fleet, the main force caught up with the transport ships, captured them all, disarmed them, and loaded them into the palm of the universe one by one.

I don’t know what I’m transporting, so I bought hundreds of small and medium-sized transport ships for nothing.

Among them, 22 are medium-sized transport ships, and the other 86 are all small transport ships.

Although it cannot compare with human ships in terms of capacity or speed, what can a free prostitute ask for? As long as it can be used.

I spent some time looking through the transport ship and found that it was all filled with food.

More than a hundred boatloads of food...

Li Qing thought about it and unloaded everything into the warehouse for storage.

I'm too lazy to sell it, so I'll keep it all for my own use.

Several main species of the Shatta Tribe United Civilization are also carbon-based organisms. They eat similar things, either seafood, meat or fruits. If they are properly purified and disinfected, cloned humans can eat them as well.

So, I didn’t make much money this time.

But it was not a loss. Under the command of the Servant of Light, not a single frigate was lost.

He also has the super command ability of the Servant of Light, which can ensure minimal losses. If it were other players playing like him, the losses would be too great to bear a few times.

After building the Black Hawk frigate, Li Qing took over the command of the fleet again and ordered the fleet to adjust its direction and fly towards the Reef Nest Galaxy, the capital of the southern province of the Shatta Tribe Civilization.

If we look at the time, the Crimson Team and the Free Alliance Team should have already set off. If they move quickly, they should have surpassed them by now. A super-large fleet like theirs will inevitably be unable to hide, and will inevitably cause the Shata Tribal Civilization to attack.

Pay attention to.

Perhaps the Shatta civilization has not yet realized that they are heading to their capital galaxy, but with such a large fleet, it is still possible to attack some important hubs or important bases in various places, and it is really possible to capture them if they are not careful.

Two days later, the fleet left the current galaxy and entered another galaxy.

Li Qing was not in a hurry. There was no need to rush. As for the Crimson team's formation, it received much more attention than them. With various interceptions along the way, the speed would definitely be very slow.

Their speed is already fast, and if you are still busy rushing, you may accidentally run in front of them.

Stop and go along the way, destroy all the interception systems you encounter, and mark all the routes you pass on a new star map. If you run away later, you can quickly escape along this route that no longer has an interception system.

Ten days later, the fleet passed through four entire galaxies and came to an unfamiliar galaxy, stopping at the edge of the galaxy's gravity well.

According to the mark on the star map, about three galaxies ahead is the fourth logistics base of the southern province of the Shatta Tribe United Civilization.

The Shatta Civilization has a total of nine important galaxies in the southern province, ranked from one to nine. The first galaxy is the capital reef lair galaxy, and the second galaxy is the Quelta Fortress galaxy, which is also the frontline of the southern war zone and the closest to the outpost.

A fortress system, heavily guarded.

No. 4 is an important logistics base, which contains a habitable planet that has been half transformed, mainly for herding and agriculture.

Number 6 is the galaxy that Jialan attacked before. There is a super foundry group in it, which is the largest heavy industry base in the southern province of Shatta Civilization.

If the No. 4 Logistics Base is destroyed, although they will not run out of food, it will definitely be greatly affected. Over time, if the stored food is used up, food crises will still occur in various places.

But on the star map mark, this system is stationed with a fleet-level fleet.

The so-called alliance-level fleet is a temporary joint establishment of several large and medium-sized branch fleets, and the specific strength is uncertain.

There are at least more than 100 battleships, and at most there are hundreds of battleships. At the same time, there should be many garrison or patrol fleets in nearby star systems. If it cannot be attacked in a short time, a large amount of support will inevitably arrive.

Li Qing thought about it carefully and finally gave up the plan of going in and taking a look.

Of course, the main reason is that there is little oil and water in this galaxy. You can't just run over and grab a bunch of food. What's the point?

However, when the fleet circled around from the other side and came to a wormhole in a certain galaxy, and was about to send a few frigates to explore the way, suddenly the wormhole lit up with a dazzling light of energy, and surging energy tides sprayed out in all directions.

"Is there an enemy jumping?"

Li Qing immediately ordered the fleet to retreat. After estimating the scale of the energy tide, he ordered the fleet to withdraw 500 kilometers from the wormhole to prepare for battle.

As the light exploded into the sky, a fleet of similar size jumped over.

"Hit me!"

Under the precise control of the servant of light Li Yuan, 8 neutron light lances and 4 giga-level kinetic energy orbital main guns, as well as nearly two thousand l main guns or l large weapons, fired simultaneously. The dazzling light lance beams traversed the void.

Accompanied by earth-shattering explosions and extremely violent artillery fire, a battleship was destroyed on the spot.

Even though the battleship's shields and armor were extremely strong, the firepower gathered at this moment was too fierce.

12 x-slot super-large main guns, nearly two thousand l-main guns or l-large weapons, the most important thing is the 95% extra damage bonus of the Servant of Light, and the talent of Servant of Light Li Yuan's Void Twisted Aura

'Can directly weaken the enemy fleet's shield armor and hull by 10%.

The combination of the three, the power of the explosion in an instant is as high as eight million. Even the fully equipped fifth-generation battleships of mankind can only end up in despair when faced with such firepower.

Well, that's assuming it's not equipped with damage-reducing accessories such as energy barrier enhancers and armor buffers.

The Shatta Civilization doesn't know if there are such special accessories, but the basic attributes of the third-generation battleships are not as good as those of human fifth-generation battleships. Even if they are equipped with this kind of damage-reduction accessories, they will still end up sinking in the face of such firepower.

But there is one thing to say. It can be seen from here that the shield and armor strength of the battleship are indeed very powerful, and it is worthy of being a main battleship.

If you are a normal player, you must have 25 battleships and a fleet of more than two thousand l-slot large weapons to focus fire at the same time to kill a battleship in one wave.

But in actual combat, this is actually difficult to do. Main battleships like this usually stay in the middle and rear to output, and a pile of cannon fodder in the front can withstand the firepower. It is difficult to seize this opportunity.

They just caught the enemy fleet coming out of the wormhole and were caught off guard.

After a wave of instant kills, the enemy fleet immediately made a defensive response. Although this was of no use, how could it be the opponent of Servants of Light at the same scale.

It took less than half an hour to defeat the enemy fleet easily, but it took four hours to pursue and defeat them. The key point was that they only caught up with part of them, and a small part escaped.

The scale is so small that the enemies are fleeing in all directions and it is impossible to take care of them all.

Five hours later, the main force swept the battlefield, and a small reconnaissance fleet first went through the wormhole to conduct reconnaissance.

This fleet obviously did not expect that there would be enemies in the hinterland. It did not even send a reconnaissance fleet and went directly through the wormhole. As long as you were careful, you would not be attacked.

He would not be so careless and would send a small fleet over to conduct reconnaissance every time he passed through a wormhole.

An hour later, I received a message from the reconnaissance fleet. There was nothing on the other side. Instead, I found the remaining information of a transport fleet. The fleet just eliminated was probably the escort fleet of that large transport fleet.

The fleet headed there at full speed, but unfortunately they had already jumped away early, and they didn't even touch a single hair.

Next, they wandered around several nearby star systems, constantly intercepting passing fleets.

The escort fleets of ordinary transport fleets are not very large, and some escort fleets of small fleets do not even have battleships. Li Qing does not care about the size, as long as he can defeat them, he will destroy the battleships and rob all merchant ships.

It is estimated that it is because of the nearby agricultural base. Most of the merchant ships that come here are engaged in grain trade. Most of the goods transported are food. Occasionally there are some daily consumables. They are not very valuable. On the contrary, so many cargo ships have been robbed.

Food is worth more, which is quite disappointing.

What surprised him was that he had been stuck in the nearby star system for almost half a month, and no fleet stationed in the agricultural star system came to encircle him.

After another week or so, Li Qing decided to change places and go to the No. 6 residential station system in the southern province of Shatta Civilization. There was a super foundry group there, and the caravan goods passing there should be quite valuable.

The fleet turned and plunged into the wormhole.

An hour later, the fleet appeared in another galaxy and was about to enter sub-light speed. Suddenly the fleet received an alarm, and then Li Qi's reconnaissance fleet sent a relay signal to the command channel. Everyone saw the icy starry sky approaching on the screen.

A huge fleet.

"This is?"

Li Qing immediately ordered:

"The fleet will turn around and retreat immediately!"

A fleet of the Sand Tower civilization that is more than twenty times their size cannot be defeated at all.

As long as the commander on the opposite side is not a fool, he will use the simplest tactics, divide his fleet into ten branches, and surround him from all sides. They will be unable to fight at all.

They can easily slip away two or even three or four fleets, but they have ten fleets twice the size of their own. As long as they drag the other fleets back into position, they can't escape.

No matter how fast the speed is, it will not be a problem to leave part of his ship behind due to various entanglements and interference halos, as well as the entanglement of entanglement beams.

Super fast speed can solve many problems, but it cannot solve all problems.

The fleet broke away at super fast speed before engaging in battle. Li Qi's reconnaissance fleet followed this large fleet and followed them through the wormhole. It took three hours to send back a message that surprised Li Qing.

information.

After the fleet passed through the wormhole, it immediately started the hyperspace engine and rushed to sub-light speed, heading in an unknown direction.

But Li Qing immediately thought of the actions of the Crimson Team.

"Could it be that the Crimson Team has already taken action, and the gentlemen in the capital of Shatta Civilization sensed the crisis and mobilized garrison support from various places?"

"Probably."

In the command channel, everyone was talking excitedly. If this guess is true, it means that the defenders in various places will be greatly weakened.

But this was not the focus of their discussion. The focus was whether it was possible for the Crimson team to succeed and whether they wanted to go there and take a look.

Attack the reef lair!

If it can be successfully attacked, the First Division of the Southern Province of the Shatta Civilization located in the Quelta Fortress System will definitely withdraw immediately. The main force of the expeditionary force will take the opportunity to advance eastward and directly capture a large area of ​​​​the star field, so this military operation will be considered

It worked.

If they can make the incident bigger and cause greater damage to the reef nest, they may even break the balance early. The expeditionary force may even take the opportunity to launch an attack early, thus...

Total War!

So as the five major teams that broke the balance and made great contributions, it might be possible to be promoted to the Legion in one fell swoop.

The number of legions that can be accommodated in one place is limited. For example, there are only three official legions in Jinmen. If all five of their teams are promoted to legions, it means that it will be difficult for other teams to be promoted to legions. They must set a goal far greater than this time.

Only with great merit can you be promoted to the Legion.

"Follow up and have a look."

The entire team was eager to try it and urged him to go over and have a look.

Li Qing naturally would not object and immediately ordered the fleet to follow him all the way.

However, after being intercepted more than a dozen times along the way, he changed his tactics and changed the command ship into a Black Hawk frigate, and then brought the entire huge fleet into the palm of his hand.

Now this thing is no longer a secret. Everyone in the fleet knows that he has a space relic, which contains a huge space of 10,000 kilometers.

It was just a Black Hawk frigate, with no other warships to escort it. Although it was stopped and intercepted along the way, a single ship was far more flexible than a large fleet.

The most important thing is that he only has one ship, and his target is very small. Even if the Shata civilization finds his traces through the surveillance of dense galaxies, it will not pay attention to it.

Before, I might have been too lazy to send a fleet to intercept. After all, a ship was too small a target and difficult to catch.

What's more, the attention of the Shata Civilization is now on the Crimson Team, and a frigate like him will not pay attention to it. It even knows the direction in which he is heading and has no time to send a fleet to intercept it.

The single ship moved forward all the way, and occasionally there was a small fleet stationed at some wormhole entrances. At this time, Li Qing, a powerful psyker, could come into play.

The small frigate is wrapped in powerful psychic energy. The moment it comes out of the wormhole, it teleports away from the place to avoid the locked fire.

Although the transmission distance is not very far, only more than a hundred kilometers, it is still within the enemy's range.

But as long as you avoid the first wave of concentrated fire, you will have a few tens of seconds to run away. With the bonus of the Servant of Light, it is easy to escape at a super high speed.
Chapter completed!
