Chapter 122 Turning Point

Su Mo's expression changed slightly. He was also a little shaken. Could it be that his prediction was wrong? So he asked,

"How long can we hold on?"

"Not much longer. We have to save enough fuel for the return trip."

Xiao Wen said with a troubled expression.

"Sigh, alright. Pass down my order, prepare to return."

Su Mo had no choice. This was their limit.

"Yes! Boss!"

Sun Duo Xiang and Mo Bao Ke were overjoyed when they heard they were returning. Although this trip was a waste, at least they saved their lives.

However, at this moment, the low voice of the Falsified Creator·Devourer suddenly rang in Su Mo's mind.

"I scanned a fleet moving at high speed in the distant starry sky. It should be an escort fleet of the Empire."

Su Mo was overjoyed when he heard the words of the Falsified Creator·Devourer. But he didn't show it, after all, the ship hadn't discovered the other party yet.

He replied to the Falsified Creator·Devourer, "Very good."

The Falsified Creator·Devourer asked Su Mo with confusion and incomprehension, "How did you know that the Empire still had a transport fleet coming from the rear? And how did you confirm that you could catch them?"

It couldn't figure out what went wrong.

Su Mo smiled and said to the Falsified Creator·Devourer, "Would you believe me if I said it was intuition?"

"No!"

The Falsified Creator·Devourer didn't believe it at all.

"It's like this. I observed the entire battlefield. Although the two sides are fighting fiercely, and the Empire has invested a terrifying amount of troops, I feel like something is missing. The Empire shouldn't just have these means. Later, I carefully recalled all the routes that could lead to the front line, and I thought of one route, which is the opposite direction."

"But aren't you afraid of not catching up? Or the wrong direction?"

The Falsified Creator·Devourer asked in a low voice.

"Under normal circumstances, the direction won't be wrong. There are still a lot of scattered ships active in various areas of Xinghuan Zhi Cheng (Star Ring City). They have to move away to a certain distance before changing their course to the front line to make sense, otherwise they will still be discovered. Therefore, they are likely to go straight, because that is the fastest way to leave."

"Also, there is no need to worry about not catching up. I have checked the speed of all ships. Level 4 is a watershed. Only a small number of high-quality Level 4 ships and ships above Level 5 have hyperspace flight devices. The rest are all sub-light speed and light speed ships. And among ships of the same level with the same power system, the fastest is the reconnaissance type ship, followed by the flagship ship, battleship, frigate, then the mothership, and finally the transport ship! The transport ship is special compared to other ships. It has a very large load capacity, but the speed is like a turtle, and it can't run fast at all, unless it is a Level 5 or above transport ship with a hyperspace flight device. But as far as I know, among all countries, only the Gaojia Republic has purchased the Level 5 transport ship·Blue Whale, and the Empire doesn't have a Level 5 transport ship at all. So they can only choose normal transport fleets, so they can't run fast at all. As long as we chase, we will definitely be able to catch up."

Su Mo explained calmly.

The Falsified Creator·Devourer fell silent after hearing this. It had to admit that Su Mo's analysis was very reasonable.

Xiao Wen, who was on the side, saw that Su Mo hadn't said anything and thought that he was in a bad mood because of his misjudgment. He was about to say something to persuade him.

Suddenly, Su Mo turned his head and called out to the people who were about to issue the return order.

"Stop the return, continue forward."

"Ah? Why?"

Sun Duo Xiang and Mo Bao Ke were also confused.

"Because we caught up, everyone prepares for battle!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Wen froze in place, and Sun Duo Xiang and Mo Bao Ke almost fell off their chairs.

They looked at Su Mo in disbelief.

"Bo, boss, what did you say?"

"Prepare for battle! I'll make the first move, and you guys follow up!"

Su Mo took a deep breath, and his blood was boiling at this moment, sweeping away all the gloom in his heart.

Xiao Wen was the first to react and turned to Chen Shan to issue an order.

"Order everyone to enter a state of readiness and check all weapons loading."

"Yes!"

......

In the distant starry sky, a Level 4 flagship·Javelin, a Level 4 heavy battleship, two Level 4 light frigates, and 35 Level 3 battleships were escorting 15 Level 4 transport ships at high speed.

Although this force did not have a flag, it was also a transport fleet of the Empire.

And it is worth mentioning that this fleet does not belong to any one empire. Instead, it was jointly formed by the three most powerful empires in the Empire's army: the Gao Motes Empire, the Hui Geleisi Empire, and the Demuen Empire. They put all the most important supplies on this fleet. Other unimportant supplies are placed on the transport ships in front, so as not to arouse suspicion and discover the trick.

This fleet departed from the planet of the Hui Geleisi Empire. The location of the Hui Geleisi Empire's planet happens to be located behind Xinghuan Zhi Cheng (Star Ring City). Before the outbreak of the war, the Hui Geleisi Empire entered a state of martial law. When the war broke out, everyone's attention was attracted.

This fleet immediately departed from the controlled military spaceport. Along the way, the people of the Hui Geleisi Empire deployed a large number of shielding devices and interference devices.

The operation was very confidential and did not attract anyone's attention.

Of course, to put it bluntly, they sold out the other three empires in disguise, using them as cannon fodder to attract firepower.

As long as they successfully transport the supplies to the front line, then their plan will succeed, and victory will belong to them.

Inside the Javelin ship command room.

A female commander with ugly hieroglyphic slave tattoos on her face and a burly figure sat in a chair, twisting her neck and listening to the reports from her subordinates.

"Lord Annu, the voyage is going smoothly. We are already far away from Xinghuan Zhi Cheng (Star Ring City). As long as we sail for another five days, we can make a trajectory shift and detour to the front line. Then no one will be able to catch us."

The subordinate next to him reported respectfully.

At this time, Annu also showed a sinister smile.

"How can the fools of the alliance discover the plan of the great majesty."

"That's true, but it's always good to be careful."

A black-haired girl wearing a scarlet V-generation mechanical armor, with slightly curled eyelashes, a straight nose, an outstanding appearance, and a noble temperament walked over.

Annu turned to look at the woman in front of her and said with some displeasure, "Princess Ai Lan, are you also afraid?"

The woman in front of her was none other than Princess Ai Lan of the Hui Geleisi Empire. She is the pilot of the pseudo V-generation bio-mechanical armor·Chimera, and the top expert ranked thirteenth in the Empire's military comprehensive strength list.
