For the past half month, Verto has been in extreme anxiety.
First, they learned that Randy and Wacker were under house arrest by West, and then even the existence of Gilt was discovered. Finally, Verto, who wanted to transfer, found that the entire Gilt had been shrouded in the interference range of Warp Interruption Device.
At this time, Verto has only one option left, and that is.
Fight to the death with Belt's encirclement and suppression army in Gilt!!
Although he only has 5 billion battleships, Verto believes that he has no chance of winning.
After all, Gilt is where most of the top scientists in the entire federation have gathered, and they have been brought here by him in various ways over the past few hundred years.
Coupled with the annual interception of 30% of federal military expenditures, Gilt has sufficient funds to conduct various scientific research.
Therefore, in terms of technological level, Gilt is almost a whole generation more advanced than the Federation.
"Leader, we received a message from General Wayne, asking us to surrender immediately!"
Bills came to Verto and reported.
However, Verto did not speak, but snorted coldly, with a look of disdain.
Persuade to surrender?
Doesn't exist.
You must know that the entire Gilt, whether they are captive scientists or soldiers in the fleet, have all been brainwashed by "Forbidden Technology".
(The so-called Forbidden Technology refers to the technology that has been jointly listed as prohibited for use by the four Level 5 Civilizations! Once anyone is found to be using it, the four Level 5 Civilizations will completely destroy their civilization!)
There will be no response from anyone trying to persuade you to surrender!
"Beers, I will hand over the command of all fleets to you, and you will have full command!"
"Yes, leader!"
At the same time, outside Gilt.
"Any response?"
"No response received, General Lyons!"
"How is this possible?"
Nowadays, Verto is at the end of its rope, and in order to let everyone in Gilt receive this message, I deliberately used the public channel to send it.
Lyons doesn't think that among the 5 billion battleships and trillions of soldiers, not a single one of them will surrender, and they are all willing to follow Verto to seek death!
Unless it is.
Lyons suddenly thought of something, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.
"Verto, how dare you do such an unforgivable thing, it is simply unforgivable!!!"
"Order the fleet to start attacking according to the planned battle plan!"
Lyons has figured out why no one responded to his message.
At the same time, he also understood that continuing to wait was meaningless, so he immediately turned to his deputy and ordered!
"Yes, General Lyons!"
The next moment, all the fleets surrounding Gilt began to move, attacking Star System from all directions!
The entire encirclement network was established about 1 AU outside Gilt, which was not very far away. Just half an hour later, all the fleets broke into Star System at the same time and rushed towards the various fleet arrays in Gilt.
5 billion versus 20 billion seems to be a very different number, so there is no need to doubt the result.
But actually, that's not the case.
On the one hand, the fleet under Verto, due to its advanced technology, is slightly stronger than the fleet led by Lyons, both in attack and defense.
On the other hand, all the officers and men in its fleet have been thoroughly brainwashed. They move forward bravely without fear or retreat!
Therefore, even if there is an absolute numerical advantage, from the overall situation on the battlefield, Lyons's advantage is not as great as imagined.
"General, the enemy troops on the other side are very strange and a little abnormal!"
"Well, I know. I was just skeptical before, but now, I can confirm that Verto's fleet has all been brainwashed!"
"What? How dare he do such a thing! These are not just a few people, there must be at least 10 trillion people!"
"So, we must annihilate Verto here today and continue to let him go. For the Federation, it is a time bomb that will explode at any time!"
Lyons said with a cold expression.
It's just that the current battle situation is indeed a bit bad. The attack method used by Lyons is still carrying small Spatial Barrier physical weapons. After all, for Spatial Shield, the effect of energy weapons is almost zero, unless you can have an absolute number like the Zerg!
The fleet of Verto is different. In addition to the conventional physical projectile weapons of Level 5 Civilization and Spatial Shield, it also possesses the killer weapon Gravity Cannon!
Although this Gravity Cannon has many shortcomings, such as short range and long launch interval, and because of its large size, only one is installed on the bow of each battleship.
Moreover, Lyons took adequate precautions against Gravity Cannon at the beginning of the war, allowing the fleet to keep a distance from the opponent and try to avoid the combat distance between the two sides falling within 3 million kilometers.
But, obviously, the effect is not big!
After all, the two sides are face to face. Verto One side can rush forward at full speed and shorten the distance!
On the Lyons side, the warship can only be driven backwards through the auxiliary engine. In this case, it can only reach a speed of more than 40,000 kilometers per second at most. After all, it is not the main engine!
In this way, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield. The smaller side was constantly attacking, while the larger side was fighting and retreating.
And once the distance is shortened to less than 300 kilometers, Gravity Cannon comes into play. Often one shot of Gravity Cannon can destroy several or even dozens of warships, and Spatial Shield cannot play any role at all.
Fortunately, the number of battleships on Lyons's side is four times that of the other side, and Lyons is also a commander with rich combat experience.
When a fleet of Verto attacks a certain front, Lyons does not simply move the entire formation back, but moves the fleet pointed in the direction of its attack back, while other surrounding fleets will cooperate to encircle the attacking fleet from up, down, left, and right, and from all directions.
Therefore, even if the fleet of Verto uses Gravity Cannon to defeat the fleet of Lyons in front of it with heavy casualties, it will also be attacked by fleets from other directions. It can be said that no one will get too much benefit.
However, in terms of the fleet's battle losses, the losses on Lyons's side were relatively greater, almost a 2:1 battle loss.
After all, Gravity Cannon is really a foul for the current Vera Federation!
"This cannot continue. Even if we can finally annihilate Verto's fleet, our losses will reach an unacceptable level!"
Looking at the tactical panel, Lyons, whose own side has lost more than 500 million warships, no longer wants to continue like this.
"Expand the Gamma Ray Cannon module immediately, prepare for launch, and completely open up the situation!"
"Yes, General Lyons!"
