"This is Sela 017 patrol team. Sela, please respond if you hear this. Sela, please respond if you hear this …"
A light-year away from Sela, Lance, who could not move forward due to the interference of the Federation's transition interception device, had to stop and call Sela through the communication system.
However, no matter how he called, Sela did not respond.
"Commander, I have tried many times, but I still can't get in touch with Sela!"
In the bridge command group, the communications officer turned to report to Lance after trying more than ten times.
"Could it be that Sela has fallen?"
"But how is that possible? Even if that bastard Kelvin is useless, the garrison fleet has a million battleships. As far as I know, the Giant Axe Pirates only have ten thousand battleships!"
No matter how he thought about it, Lance could not believe that Sela had fallen.
It was not that he overestimated Kelvin, but the disparity in combat power was too great. Normally, this was simply impossible.
At the same time, in the orbit of Sela.
"Commander, the third batch of orbital airborne troops has set off, but …"
"But what?"
In the bridge, Lyant looked at the strange expression on the adjutant's face and asked.
"In our original plan, we arranged for five batches of orbital space combat, but now that the third batch has just set off, the first batch of Mech Brigade has reported that they have completed all the suppression tasks …"
"Are the fourth and fifth batches of orbital airborne still going to continue?"
Speaking of which, Sela was not a small planet. It was more than twice the size of Earth.
If there was some resistance, it would not have been suppressed so quickly.
And this was why the adjutant's expression was strange.
Are you sure this is a level six civilization that has unified the entire galaxy group?
It's really … too weak to fight!
There was almost no resistance. Wherever the Mech Brigade went, they surrendered at the sight of the wind.
As a result, the Mech Brigade of the second batch of orbital airborne troops could not fight at all. They could only follow the first batch and clean up the mess …
"Continue, of course we have to continue!"
"It's rare to have a chance to go to the battlefield. Even if you just follow behind and clean up the mess, you can't deprive the soldiers of this opportunity!"
Lyant, who knew how rare the opportunity to go to the battlefield was, resolutely decided to continue airborne!
Besides, even though they were advancing quickly, they still needed enough troops to defend the areas they had already conquered, didn't they?
"Yes, Commander!"
"Report, a planet-level fleet has been detected outside our warp blockade range. It was stopped halfway through the warp to Sela due to the warp blockade device."
After Lyant finished instructing the adjutant on the last two orbital space issues, the voice of the radar officer from the command group sounded.
A planet-level fleet …
Based on the current organization of the Federation, which was the smallest squadron, there were usually 10,000 warships.
Although there were only ten thousand battleships, Lyant was not prepared to let them go.
After all, sealing off Sela was to prevent the news from spreading so quickly.
"Just in time. The First Fleet has already completed their mission of cleaning up the pirates. Have them go over immediately and capture this fleet. If they do anything irrational, wipe them out on the spot!"
"Yes, Commander!"
With the current hyperspace technology of the Federation's battleships, it would take less than a minute to cross a distance of one light year.
After receiving the order, the First Fleet immediately took action. They locked and started the hyperspace engine according to the coordinates sent on the data link.
At the next moment, the 10 million warships vanished on the spot.
-----
One light year away from Sela.
At the edge of the Federation's warp blockade area, a fleet of ten thousand warships lined up neatly in the void.
In the bridge of the fleet flagship, Lance was thinking about how to deal with the situation at hand.
There was definitely a problem with Sela. As for whether it had fallen, he would think about it later.
But the problem now was that communication was blocked, and warp navigation was also blocked. He could not understand the specific situation of Sela, nor could he quickly rush to support.
This was a distance of one light year. Maybe it was not a big deal in normal times. Whether it was warp or teleportation, it could be crossed very quickly.
But now the warp was blocked, and his small fleet did not have the components of the stargate device. Under such circumstances, if he wanted to reach Sela, he could only rely on sublight navigation.
Don't be kidding. Even if the speed of sublight navigation was increased to the maximum in the safe zone, it would only be 0.3 times the speed of light. It would take more than three years to cross this one light year.
Report to the Starfield headquarters?
It seemed …
This was the only way left.
However, he hoped that the group of aristocrats at the Starfield headquarters would not be as unreliable as Kelvin!
"Connect me to the Governor's Office of the Caprice Starfield …"
"Commander, a large number of unknown space phenomena are being generated, the number … the number is as high as tens of millions!"
"What, show me the images!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Just as Lance was about to contact the Governor's Office of the Caprice Starfield, the order was interrupted halfway.
Soon, a set of detected images was displayed in front of Lance.
It was a scene that shocked him to the core. In the dark void, countless azure vortex-shaped spatial passages were opening.
"What is this …"
As a fleet commander from a level-6 civilization who had never encountered an advanced civilization, Lance had naturally never seen the scene of a hyperspace channel opening. He had no idea what he was about to face.
Of course, he did not have to wait for too long. A total of ten million warships withdrew from the hyperspace channel and directly surrounded Lance's fleet.
What kind of force was this?
If they were pirates, Lance could see from the other fleet's formation that this was a well-trained and extremely elite fleet.
But if they were an imperial fleet, there was no record in the database at all.
And most importantly, the style of the warships in this fleet was completely different from the fleet of the aristocrats of the empire, okay?
Ever since the aristocrats of the empire took full control of the military power, the appearance of the warships produced by the empire was noble and luxurious.
And the fleet in front of him did not have the style of the aristocrats' fleet at all.
If it was neither pirates nor an imperial fleet, then who was it?
"Commander, the other party has sent us a video communication, do you want to connect?"
"Connect it!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Soon, the communication was connected, and a figure appeared in Lance's bridge.
Like the people of the Langdon Empire, they were all humanoid creatures, but their appearance was very different.
But this immediately made Lance cross out the option of an imperial fleet in his heart …
And the option of being a pirate …
Well, looking at the neat military uniform on the other party, he would cross it out too!
However, this time, Lance was even more confused …
"Who are you?"
