From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 550 I'm attacking the main fleet
"Everyone, stand by! Everyone, stand by! All personnel, arrive at your positions immediately. The fleet is about to engage in battle with the Federation Navy fleet. Cover the emergency evacuation of our cargo fleet!"

After the boatswains of each warship received the signal and sounded the "all hands on deck" signal, everyone in the Third Task Force began to move.

Several "ship reporters" from the group's publicity department who had been following the operation for a long time also used their equipment to record the scene in their warships where the sailors of the Atlas combat fleet arrived at their respective battle positions quickly and orderly.

In particular, some of the scenes where the sailors quickly went up and down the gangway, or used the handles in the ship's passages to move through the passages at a very fast speed, became classic shots that have been used repeatedly.
Perhaps it was the previous battle that defeated the Rubion Galaxy garrison fleet that gave everyone in the Third Task Force something called "confidence".

And let them know that their combat fleet, apart from being slightly smaller in size, is not inferior to their enemies in terms of ship performance and technical level, and even far exceeds the enemy in some technologies.

This directly led to the morale of all the people in the Third Task Force being high after hearing the order of "all members on standby", and no one showed any signs of retreating at this time.

As for the trainees of the Renaissance Alliance, they had even less fear at this moment, because they were fighting for the independence of the Rubion galaxy.

After receiving Atlas' training, they had already lost any sense of belonging to the Federation due to this long-term subtle influence.

Therefore, after seeing the "invading" Federal Navy fleet at this moment, all the Renaissance Alliance trainees, including Johnny Ridden and Manfred, entered a state of "defending their homes" and were not afraid of fighting the Federal Fleet at all.

With the entire fleet united, the Third Task Force quickly withdrew from the escort mission, and immediately adjusted its formation and began to maneuver in the direction of the Federal Fleet.

At the front of the formation were the warships that were recently captured from the Rubion galaxy garrison fleet and were still functioning normally.

The crew members on these warships have all completed the transfer. You can't see a single living person on the entire warship. All operations and combat commands of the ship are completed by the "temporary controlling personality".

Their role is also very simple, that is, to act as the fleet's "meat shield" in the first round of attack.——
"Do you think the other party discovered us?"

Rear Admiral Bernelli asked on the 17th Fleet's flagship, the Magellan.

"I don't know. Theoretically, our current location should be relatively secret."

Rear Admiral Stoner, who was sitting on the 18th Fleet's flagship Galileo, responded after hearing his colleague's question:
"But if I were to think from the perspective of anticipating the enemy, I would assume that the enemy has discovered us by now."

"At such a long distance? And we haven't even found any trace of the Atlas fleet yet." Benelli couldn't believe it. After all, the detection distance of conventional fleets is about 30 kilometers, which is close to one light second.

But neither fleet has detected Atlas's combat fleet yet. If they have been exposed, it means that the distance of Atlas's combat fleet has already exceeded the conventional 30 kilometers.

This is still the case when this kind of "Earth-Moon System" celestial body has a certain impact on fleet detection.

Stoner: "That's why I said to be lenient with the enemy. Don't forget, the enemy we are going to face next quickly annihilated the Rubion Galaxy's garrison fleet, and even left them with only time to send a message for help!"

"Then what do we do next?"

At this time, Benelli had regarded the more experienced Major General Stoner as the commander-in-chief of the two fleets, so he directly asked about his plans.

"The original plan remains unchanged. We will continue to approach Rubion V at a high speed according to the planned orbit. At the same time, all observation teams will pay close attention to the situation in the space area around Rubion V. If any abnormality is found, report it immediately!"

On the bridge of the Infinity, Randall and his men also quickly noticed the enemy's movements. With the help of the detection equipment upgraded with the Forerunner technology on the Infinity, they were able to keep a continuous watch on the enemy that suddenly appeared on the back of the moon. So when the two federal fleets changed their tracks as planned after accelerating and rushed towards the direction of Rubion V, the last bit of luck in everyone's hearts disappeared.

The other party was specifically targeting me.

"Colonel, we are expected to enter the enemy fleet's detection range in 20 minutes. If we don't activate the black body coating, the Infinity and the heavy cargo ship will definitely be discovered by the enemy."

The officer on duty looked at the three-dimensional battlefield situation map and reported to Randall.

However, although the current situation was somewhat serious, Randall's expression gradually relaxed, because he suddenly realized that no matter how serious he was, he could not change the weight currently placed on the scale by both parties.

In this case, you might as well relax your nerves a little. Sometimes being too tense is not a good thing.

After a moment, Randall seemed to have an epiphany and asked the officer on duty and others around him, including the fleet gunnery officer:
"How about we think of a way to have a fucking fight!"

The officers around were stunned after hearing this. They didn't expect Randall to be so brave.

The officer on duty said: "Colonel, the enemy fleet has more than twice the strength of ours, and it is not a second-rate force like the Star System Garrison Fleet, but a legitimate main fleet of the Federation Navy."

"So what about the main fleet? I'm targeting the main fleet! The bravest of the two will win, you know?"

Randall's eyes widened, and a fierce temperament suddenly burst out from his whole body, which made others feel extremely familiar.

It was exactly the same as when Amber was directing the battle, as if she was possessed by this boss.
However, although Randall's current state was indeed affected by Amber, it was more due to the "instructions" given to him by Guterres before.

This former Vice Admiral of the Federation Navy taught him a lot of 'exam key points' such as the combat regulations of the Federation Navy's main fleet and the habits of most fleet commanders.

One of them is about some characteristics of the Federal Navy when engaging the enemy at a long distance.

Thinking of this, Randall looked around at everyone, and seeing that no one had spoken yet, he took the lead and said:

"Since you don't open your mouth, I'll speak first."

He pointed to the position of the enemy fleet on the three-dimensional battlefield situation map, and a red indicator light moved in the direction of his finger.

"The fleet currently has a lot of stealth plasma torpedoes in reserve. While the enemy has not yet entered their maximum detection range, each ship will first launch 40% of the plasma torpedoes, set the route and procedure in advance, remain silent and bypass the side lobes of the enemy fleet's long-wave radar, and turn on the seeker after entering the predetermined distance.
After launching this set of torpedoes, except for the captured warships used as "decoy meat shields" and moving forward with the corner reflector decoys, the entire fleet entered a stealth action mode and maintained a low speed to engage the enemy. "

Having said that, Randall looked at the ship's controller, Serena, who was floating in the air.

"As the saying goes: one trick is enough to conquer all. I want to try the tactics that Cleves used on Pyla IV.
So, Serena, help me calculate a torpedo drop point and preset a route. After the fleet arrives at this 'drop point', fire plasma torpedoes to the rear, and after completing a circle around the star at a low speed with the cover of Rubion V, try to attack the enemy fleet from the side!"
