Gloucester's roar echoed throughout the bridge.

at that time

No one could answer his question.

"Why, aren't you talking?"

"Commander Gloucester, we did not detect any opening of Black Hole Channel, and the stationed fleet of Current Mouth also did not find any abnormalities. These fleets seemed to appear out of thin air!"

After repeated inquiries from Gloucester, someone finally spoke.

However, from Gloucester's point of view, saying it is the same as not saying it, and it has no meaning!

"Report!"

"Say!"

At this moment, an officer on the bridge suddenly stood up and reported.

"We received three reports here, which stated that the existence of Black Hole Channel was observed, but after we tested the coordinates in the reports, nothing was found!"

"Huh?"

This issue deserves further study.

The soldier said he saw it, but nothing was detected on his side.

Did the soldier lie, or was there something wrong with his equipment?

In this regard, Gloucester is more inclined to the second possibility. After all, this is not a fleet report, but fleet reports from three different Supercluster. The possibility of lying at the same time is too small.

But if this is really the case, does that mean that the Federation has control of the new Black Hole Channel technology, and that it is still undetectable by the Empire?

This could explain why almost all of the war zones were attacked by sneak attacks, but he had no idea where the enemies came from.

But this is a bit difficult to handle!

"Order the reporting fleet to observe again and pass on the observed images!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Soon, in less than a minute, the three fleets from different theaters had already transmitted the observed real-time images, and when these images were opened on the bridge.

Sure enough

The picture is Black Hole Channel!

"Let the technical team analyze these three coordinates again and see if they can find anything!"

"Yes, Commander!"

After the order was issued, Gloucester waited quietly, hoping that it was just a technical failure and not the alliance actually had the new Black Hole Cavity Technology.

But obviously, his expectations were destined to fail.

"Commander, the technical team used various detection methods, but they were unable to find that Black Hole Channel is open on those three coordinates!"

"Notify the front line, leave behind the affiliated civilization fleet, and the imperial fleet quickly evacuates the battlefield!"

"Commander, this."

"Execute it immediately. If it's too late, even the imperial fleet will be destroyed there!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Gloucester didn't want to give such an order, but there was no other way.

Not to mention that the empire's conventional fleet needs energy replenishment, Blazing Sun Fleet needs it even more.

It can even be said that Blazing Sun Fleet consumes more energy than a conventional fleet.

And the most important thing is that Black Hole Cavity Armor is different from a shield. It consumes Black Hole Cavity Particles to block attacks.

Therefore, after the Black Hole Cavity Particles in the armor is consumed too much, it must be pushed to the rear for refilling before it can be restored. This is something that even the Federation's Black Armor Warship cannot avoid.

The only difference is that Black Hole Cavity Armor of Blazing Sun Fleet is just a prototype. Whether it is strength or particle density, it is several dimensions worse than Black Armor Fleet.

If the Federation's Black Armor Warship can withstand 10,000 Super Civilization's standard attacks, then the Empire's Blazing Sun-class Warship can only withstand a thousand, not even a thousand.

Although in the previous battles, Blazing Sun Fleet stole the show, but similarly, almost every time they experienced a high-intensity battle, they had to go back to the rear to replenish particles for the armor, and their ability to continue fighting was almost to the limit.

Therefore, if Blazing Sun Fleet continues to stay on the front line, it may be possible to suppress the alliance's fleet in a short period of time, but over time, it will inevitably be massacred by the alliance.

As for the empire's regular fleet, without the cooperation of Blazing Sun Fleet, and with the morale of the military in chaos, if they continue to fight the alliance, the consequences will not be much better.

The only way now is to withdraw the fleet first and stabilize the situation in the rear. Although the losses are heavy, there is at least 20 to 30% of supplies, right?

Relying on these supplies, there is no problem in maintaining high-intensity fighting for another few months. As long as the battle situation stabilizes again, Gloucester can mobilize resources from the surrounding affiliated civilizations to replenish this loss.

But if even these two to three percent are lost, then the entire empire army will really have to be blamed here.

As a result, all the affiliated civilization fleets were once again used as cannon fodder and left on the front line to buy time for the imperial fleet to evacuate.

"Gloucester Commander, the order has been issued!"

"Very good, send a message to the mainland to explain the situation and request support. At the same time, give orders to all affiliated civilizations adjacent to the war zone, asking them to take action immediately and send me supplies to the front line through Cosmic Current!"

"Commander, the situation is critical now. Why don't we use Black Hole Channel to allow these affiliated civilizations to transport supplies? If we use ocean currents, it will take a whole month!"

After Rogue ster gave the order, the adjutant on the side asked with some confusion.

"Don't you know that the Alliance has technology that can destroy us Black Hole Channel at any place?"

"In this current situation, if you were an alliance, after discovering that we opened Black Hole Channel to connect to those affiliated civilizations, would you not take action?"

Gloucester looked at his adjutant with some disappointment, and then asked.

The reason is simple. Since the alliance's goal is to destroy its own logistics, it will never give itself the opportunity to establish channels to transport supplies.

Yes, the empire does have a large amount of Dark Energy Crystal in its hands now, but they are on the mainland. The frontline currently only has a reserve of about a thousand yuan.

Therefore, if you really want to compete with the alliance again on Dark Energy Crystal's consumption of reserves, that is something the local team must do, not the frontline.

This is why, in addition to requiring the affiliated civilizations adjacent to each war zone to immediately transport supplies through ocean currents, Gloucester also reported the situation to the homeland and requested support from the homeland.

"Commander, I didn't think carefully!"

After realizing his mistake, the adjutant immediately said.

"Okay, you go make arrangements now. Except for the fighting area, all other places in the rear are arranged for me to have warships for monitoring. Since the alliance's new technology prevents us from detecting the opening of Black Hole Channel, we can only use the most primitive method, relying directly on observation for monitoring!"

"This must never happen again!"

Gloucester said to his adjutant very seriously.

"Yes, Commander!"
