Chapter 267 Space Interception Warfare
"By the way, the Bedouins are triumphant. There will definitely be a large-scale fair on this planet, selling slaves from the destroyed civilizations and some related matters... Are you interested in going to see it? ?” After explaining that the centaur that was destroyed was not the centaur close to the solar system, Marwell suggested.
"What do you think?" Josie heard the words and looked at the other two ladies at the table.
"Forget it, I'm not interested!" Margot frowned slightly, exchanged glances with Carter, and shook her head.
Carter also said that he is not very interested.
"Forget it, let's go to Hara tomorrow!" Seeing this, Mawell didn't take it seriously.
So early the next morning, they boarded the spaceship again after having had enough fun in Bedouin.
However, the day after Marwell's spaceship left the star port and entered the space to jump, several figures in black robes appeared on the streets of the planet Bedune, driving a car commonly seen on the planet Bedune. The suspension car slowly came to the slave market.
As the most prosperous planet in this star field, Bedouin itself is quite mixed. The security of the entire planet is tight on the outside and loose on the inside. Generally, no one dares to do things in the core star field of the Kerry Empire.
Not to mention that it is still the territory of the extremely warlike Bedouin.
Otherwise, with the strong physique and armed forces of the Bedouin, it is impossible for those who are better to be killed on the spot, and those who are less lucky to be caught and then torn by hand on the spot.
So for the appearance of these few people, the Bedouin guards around the market didn't take it too seriously.
Especially these people, although they were covered in black robes, they were still petite and slender. They didn't look like illegal elements, but like ladies from big families who covered their identities and came to the market to watch the excitement.
And when these few people were electronically authenticated and determined to be "legal personnel" by the guards, they didn't take it seriously.
After entering the market, these people seemed to have done research in advance, and soon came to a shop.
This store occupies a large area, surrounded by a large circle of transparent showcases.
It’s just the goods displayed in these showcases, not ordinary items, but a living humanoid intelligent life.
But after walking around these showcases, these men in black robes didn't seem to find what they wanted.
And the staff of this shop seemed to have discovered these potential customers far away, and Dang even stepped forward to greet them.
"Several distinguished guests seem dissatisfied with these slaves? It doesn't matter. Our Dalton firm has the most complete channel network in the entire Bedouin, and can provide customized services. As long as you offer a starting price, any race that is in circulation in the market, we will accept it." I can get it for you!" The staff member said in a big way.
"Didn't you just arrive with a group of centaur slaves yesterday? Why aren't there any here?" The black-robed man in the lead also asked bluntly.
"Ah~ It turns out that the distinguished guests came here for the centaur slaves. I'm really sorry. Originally, this batch of goods should be displayed and sold today, but because the war with Xinxing has been a bit fierce recently, it is used as an item to fight against Xinxing. The main general, General Ronan, has already hired these slaves in order to replenish the war slaves!" Hearing that these people came for the newly arrived centaur slaves, the staff couldn't help but sigh with regret.
Although Ronan is not yet a member of the highest accusation group, he is also a senior general of the Kerry Empire, and his status is much higher than that of Marwell.
What he wants, the Bedouin, as a subordinate race, dare not neglect.
"... Ronan?" Hearing this name, the man in black couldn't help being a little surprised.
"That's right, Master Ronan, it is estimated that this batch of war slaves will be sent to Tag Star in the afternoon." The staff confirmed.
Tag Star is located on the edge of the Andromeda Galaxy. It is the outpost of the Kree Empire in the Andromeda Galaxy, and it is also the front line planet for the battle against the Nova Empire.
"Afternoon? That is to say, are the goods still there?" Hei-robed man immediately reacted when he heard the staff's words.
"Well, it's still there, but it's not here, but at Xinggang... This batch of goods arrived the day before yesterday and was unloaded in Xinggang's temporary warehouse. Before it could be sold, it was ordered by Master Ronan .” The staff shrugged.
"Thank you!" After getting the news, the man in black threw a star coin to the other party as a message fee, and then hurriedly left with the people.
"Hey, thank you, customer!" Originally, the staff member thought that the business could not be done, but he didn't expect that the news would be a surprise, and it was a large amount of cash of 1,000 star coins, which made him smile immediately.
"No. 1, what should we do now? Shall we go directly to Xinggang to grab it?" On the way to leave, one of the men in black asked the team leader.
"Are you crazy to shoot on someone else's territory? Can you hold up the port defense gun?" the team leader known as No. 1 said angrily.
They are indeed not ordinary existences. They are resistant to ordinary light weapons, and they are not even afraid of facing individual small warships.
It is another matter to face the heavily fortified star port and the defensive guns that can fight against large warships.
If you really want to get angry, you can't say that you will definitely fail, but the loss will definitely not be small.
It's not worth it for a bunch of centaurs you've never met.
"Then what should I do?" the subordinate couldn't help but sighed.
"What's the rush? Go back and report the situation here to the master, and just follow the master's arrangement!" No. 1 said coldly.
A few hours later, two large armed cargo ships with a length of more than 1,000 meters in the Star Port slowly left the port under the **** of six small Kree Empire frigates with a body length of about 200 meters.
These two cargo ships are the ships that transport slaves for the Kerry military.
There were not only 100,000 centaur slaves recently captured by the Bedoons on board, but also tens of thousands of slaves from other civilizations in the universe. The total number was close to 200,000.
(During World War II, a troop carrier transformed from a 200-meter cruise ship could transport seven to eight thousand people. A thousand-meter starship is not comparable to ships on Earth in terms of length, height, and width. In Star Wars, an empire of more than 1,000 meters The crew of the Star Destroyer is nearly 50,000, and there are also a large number of small ships and land vehicles. Converted into a cargo ship, it is not many to carry 100,000 people)
Because it is an armed cargo ship with strong combat effectiveness, escorted by six elite frigates, and the entire voyage is a relatively safe imperial transportation line.
So this temporarily organized fleet is actually not very vigilant.
And this also contributed to its bad fate.
Bedune is 15 jumps away from Planet Tag, and at the speed of the Kerry fleet, it will take about ten days.
However, just when the entire fleet thought it was just a very simple transportation mission, just after the eleventh jump point and officially entered the range of the Andromeda galaxy, the fleet was attacked.
"Damn it, it's the predators, how dare they?" The commander of the Kerry transport fleet, who was awakened by the siren, was furious when he discovered that the attackers were actually the notorious space bandit predators. .
Because in his impression, these looters generally rob those weak civilizations that have just stepped into the space age and some conventional cargo ships that are not escorted by warships.
But the military transport fleet of the Kree Empire?
Are these predators drunk?
But the facts were in front of him, but he couldn't help but not believe it.
Surprised and angry, he ordered the organization of defense while trying to contact the other party while ordering his subordinates to send out a distress signal, hoping to resolve the conflict peacefully.
It's not because the commander is cowardly, nor is it because of how powerful the predator is.
After all, the general Marauder spacecraft is only as big as the Kerry Empire fighter jet.
But now the situation is still a bit different.
Because the number of predators participating in the attack is a bit large, looking at the number displayed on the spacecraft detector, there are thousands of ships.
There are even a few small warships with hundreds of meters in it.
With this amount of shit, most of the Andromeda Galaxy's predators are here, right?
Did you stab the lair of the predators?
And because of the sneak attack, when the Kerry fleet first jumped into this star field, two of the six frigates were severely damaged and lost their combat effectiveness, and one of the cargo ships lost power, which made them only delay time. Stand by.
It's just that the predator quickly responded and made a request.
That is to leave all the cargo, and all the Cree leave on the remaining warships!
And only give one hour to think about it!
"Cargo? Our cargo is all a group of slaves. What do these looters want these slaves for?" The commander of the Kerry fleet was puzzled after learning of the looters' request.
"Sir, could it be that among those war slaves, there are important figures among the looters?" The adjutant on the side reminded.
"...This possibility is very high, but these predators are very smart, so they didn't reveal anything about it!" The commander rubbed his head and said with a headache.
Of course he understood what the adjutant said was very likely. ,
He even wants the Marauders to show which one they're trying to save.
In this way, he can turn around and use the other party to negotiate conditions with the Marauder to buy time.
But the problem is that the leaders of the raiders who attacked them are obviously very smart, they just said they want the goods, so that the commander has no way of judging the specific goals of the raiders.
It is impossible to kill all the slaves, right?
Then don’t need these predators to do it, Ronan will be able to strip him alive later.
"Have you been contacted for rescue? Is there any fleet nearby?" The helpless commander can only hope that there will be a patrol fleet of the Kree Empire around the current star area... Otherwise, with the time limit given by the predator, let alone It's been an hour, even if it takes a day, I can't make it here.
"Sir, our communication seems to be blocked, and the distress signal cannot be transmitted!" Facing the commander's question, the fleet communications soldier suddenly gave an unexpected answer.
"What? The communication has been blocked?" The commander turned pale with shock. When did the raiders and the rogue soldiers have such powerful technology?
You must know that the communication blocking device of the large-scale star field is exclusive to the large-scale civilization forces in the universe, and it is the most cutting-edge technology in any civilization.
Theoretically, it is impossible for interstellar pirates like Marauders to obtain such technology.
Could it be that this group of looters were instructed by other civilizations?
Not to mention, this possibility is very high, and this can also explain why this group of plunderers dared to attack the fleet of the Kree Empire—although it was only a small transport fleet that was not strong.
However, what this fleet commander didn't know was that at the same time, the leader of the predator fleet opposite, Ryan Ogged, also looked confused.
At this time, like the Kerry fleet, they also found that the communication in this star area was blocked.
However, Ryan Ogde determined that this kind of behavior could not have been done by the Kerry fleet on the opposite side.
Just kidding, how can a surrounded person kill himself?
And since it wasn't done by one's own people, and it couldn't be done by the person in front of him, then it can only explain one problem.
There is still a third party in this star field.
"Let everyone be vigilant, there is still a third party here!" Ryan Ogged, who wanted to understand this, also ordered immediately.
So under his command, even a part of the predator fleet organized a defensive formation.
Soon the Kerry fleet also discovered the anomaly in the predator fleet, and immediately realized that the communication barrier in this star field was probably not caused by the predators in front of them.
But this didn't make the commander of the Kerry fleet feel much better, on the contrary it made it worse.
At any time, the unknown enemy is the most frightening compared to the powerful enemy in front of you.
It's just this third party lurking in the dark. Whose power is it?
Nova Corps? Impossible, this generation is not the other party's area of activity.
Shia people? It's even more impossible.
Monarch star? Mad Titan Thanos? Or the new blood lord?
One imaginary enemy keeps popping up in Commander Kerry's mind.
That is, when he thought about it more and more, a strong light flashed across the silent starry sky.
After the light passed, a Kree frigate instantly turned into dust, and a dozen Marauder spaceships in the same orbit also suffered.
Such a powerful attack power scared all the Kree warships and predators present.
At this time, in the distant space, a large-scale fleet gradually revealed its figure.
Although in terms of quantity alone, there are only more than 30 ships, not as many as predators, but the smallest warship is more than 500 meters in size, and the attack that can only be launched by a first-class warship just now is enough to make Ke The natives and marauders despaired.
It's like the classification of warships in the great navigation period on earth.
The warships of various civilizations in the Marvel universe are also graded.
The so-called first-class warships are basically the core main force of the major civilization fleets.
This kind of combat power is beyond the reach of the mere looters or the Kerry transport fleet in front of them.
