Base 7

In the outer space of Purin, a fleet is moving slowly.

In the main ship, Xu Mo looked at the two people in front of him. They were prisoners they captured. Xu Mo had already peeped into the memory of the other party and learned some news.

This turned out to be a trap. The other party already knew something, and they would attack their forces on various planets in an all-round way. For this operation, the Keles Empire dispatched a powerful fleet.

So, this is a layout aimed at them.

"Sure enough, it was discovered by the church." Xu Mo thought to himself, he controlled the church personnel in a very secret way, and ordered them to do everything as usual and follow the church's will, but there was one thing, secretly cooperating with some of their actions.

This has a disadvantage, that is, once it is discovered, the other party can follow the church members controlled by him to find out their general power and carry out precise strikes.

And now, they were hit with precision.

It is also because of this that they decided to let people from the local forces of the major planets act as agents, and the core members were only behind the scenes. Headed by Ross, they established a huge team of agents.

Now, the Keles Empire and the Church are ready to join forces to destroy their proxy forces on the various planets.

In this way, it is tantamount to cutting off their economy, which will be fatal.

"How is it?" Ye Qingdie asked.

"The other party has a lot of information about us, and will attack our forces on major planets one after another." Xu Mo said, "Before that, we need to stop the other party."

"Could it be to lure us on purpose?" Ye Qingdie asked.

"Yes." Xu Mo nodded: "Their purpose is to make us go to war, not just destroy our power on the planets."

Obviously, for the Keles Empire and the Church, itself, Gaia, and the star ring are much more important than their forces on various planets, and they are not at the same level at all.

So, the real target is them.

"What is the strength of the opponent's fleet?" Ye Qingdie asked.

"There is a complete fleet, with over a hundred warships, and several high-level warships." Xu Mo said.

Ye Qingdie frowned, the strength of such a fleet should not be underestimated.

"However, I suspect it's more than that..." Xu Mo added, since the members of the church he controlled had been discovered, the church would inevitably undergo a round of rectification.

Therefore, the Keles Empire and the church knew that he had the ability to search memory, so of course they also knew that if a warship fell into his hands, he would get some useful information from the captives.

The operation went smoothly this time, without any disturbances. So, could it be that the Keles Empire and the church deliberately made a gap to predict this situation.

If the speculation is correct, will the Keles Empire and the church provide real information to these warship members?

I'm afraid, not necessarily.

"Xu Mo..." At this time, Gaia walked towards Xu Mo and said to Xu Mo: "If this matter is planned by the church behind the scenes, then it is necessary to overestimate the opponent's strength as much as possible. The church should be aware of the strength shown in the battle of Sgard and Chloe, and can think of some of our strength. The fleet of hundreds of battleships is probably a bait thrown after predicting our strength."

"En." Xu Mo nodded: "Indeed."

With a fleet of hundreds of warships, this data is like guessing the strength of the fleet in their hands, no more, no less, making them think they can fight.

From this point of view, it was indeed a coincidence.

Moreover, if they don't go to war, the opponent will pull out all their strongholds. Under this background, the possibility of them choosing to go to war is extremely high.

"What level do you think their fleet is?" Xu Mo asked.

Today, both sides are effectively in the dark.

He doesn't know the strength of the opponent's fleet, but similarly, the opponent doesn't know the strength of their fleet either.

If anyone can fully grasp the opponent's intelligence, the winning rate will be even greater.

"I don't know." Gaia shook her head and said, "But what is certain is that the opponent must estimate our strength to the greatest extent. Assuming this is a layout against us, then we need to be careful. First of all, Star Ring The strength and the power we secretly controlled during the Chloe star battle will be counted by the opponent, including Qiongshi."

After the battle in Asgard, the Sky Master appeared and hijacked a starship of the church. The church must be clear about this. Therefore, if the other party dares to take action, then the destroyer will also be counted Inside.

This also means that they may face the existential threat of Destroyer level.

Moreover, they have no way of ascertaining what level the opposing fleet's strength is.

"From this point of view, it is very risky to go to war." Xu Mo said: "It's just that if we don't go to war, our accumulation of layout over the years will be destroyed."

Over the years, Ross and others have been working hard to open up the situation. They have occupied the market of many planets in the Republic of O'Brien, which is their economic foundation. If they are cut off, the development of the Skull Star will be greatly restricted.

"But one thing is fair." Gaia said: "We don't know the strength of the other party, and the other party doesn't know our strength, so it will inevitably produce wrong estimates. Because of the existence of the base, the development of the star ring is faster than imagined. Much faster, I don't think the church will overestimate our strength."

"En." Xu Mo nodded, and he agreed with this point. Over the years, in addition to the starships they plundered, the base has also built many starships, and now they can form a relatively large fleet.

In terms of combat power at the upper level, they also have Ned Hogg, strange demons, and tribal fighters.

The defensive power of Nidhogg and Strange Demon can definitely attack starships, especially Nidhogg, which can even attack high-level starships.

Of course, the attack power of some top high-level starships can threaten the Destroyer, as long as they can hit... Ned Hogg's disadvantage is that he is huge and easy to be hit, so he should use it carefully to avoid becoming a living starship. target.

So, the question now is, this battle seems to have to be fought.

But if you fight, how should you fight?

Without knowing the opponent's strength, there is no room for mistakes, otherwise, once surrounded by the opponent's army, it will be irreversible, so we must be cautious.

"First find a way to find out the strength of the opponent's fleet." Gaia showed a thoughtful look.

"Is it useful to release the probe around Prince?" Xu Mo asked.

"It's useless." Gaia shook his head and said, "Last time we were in the dark, and the war between the Republic and the Kailes Empire was in the open. We knew that the war would revolve around the planet Chloe. The fleet will not appear near Prin Star Space, there must be a distance to avoid being detected by the signal, so the range is too large."

"Contact O'Brien Republic for cooperation?" Xu Mo asked again.

"The first is the time dimension, and second, if you contact the Republic of O'Brien, it is possible that the other party will not go to war when they receive the news, but will eliminate our influence on the major planets." Gaia responded, which is also what they don't want to see arrived.

In a sense, the opponent's strategy is correct, forcing them to fight.

It seems that they can only enter this trap, or let the power of the planets be wiped out.

"The best way is to use the main ship as a bait, but it has certain risks. If the main ship cannot withstand being wiped out by the opponent's fleet, then..." Gaia said in silence.

"Specifically?" Xu Mo seemed to realize what Gaia was referring to.

Gaia told Xu Mo his thoughts, but before Xu Mo said anything, Ye Qingdie objected immediately.

"I believe in the capabilities of Mr. Fred and his team." Xu Mo said, agreeing with Gaia's plan.

Before finding out the strength of the opponent's fleet, it seems that only this strategic plan is the safest.

Even if something happens in the end, the whole army will not be wiped out.

Afterwards, Xu Mo and Gaia walked to the command room and announced his decision, which aroused huge discussions and many people opposed it.

However, the objection is invalid.

…………

Purin Star is an ordinary planet. There are no starships on the planet, and the Republic of O'Brien has long lost control of Purin Star.

At this time, a fleet is heading towards Purin Star.

In the main ship, General Morris and the Cardinal are still tasting wine, but as they get closer to Prin, their moods are not so relaxed.

The other party has already eaten the bait they sent up, so they must have searched for information about them and know what they are going to do.

So, is it time to ambush them?

Now, they use their own fleet as bait, and it depends on whether the other party will take the bait.

At this moment, the alarm sounded suddenly, and a voice came: "Attention everyone, the fleet has entered a combat state, and all personnel have entered an emergency combat state."

"We have been locked. The opponent is a super starship. The detected energy intensity is not inferior to our main ship."

General Morris frowned. He got up and walked towards the command room, only to hear the urgent voice come again: "Ready to fight, the entire fleet activates the starship shield."
