Star Fleet: Age of Lords.

Chapter 24 Escort
10 month 15 day.

A transport fleet consisting of 7 3-kilometer-long T3-class interstellar transport ships set out from Base No. and sailed towards the Bass Galaxy Star Gate.

It was escorted by two fleets of sixteen starships, among which the T3 aircraft carrier starship was arranged in the middle position.

The remaining two T2 battleships, one in the front row and one in the back row, were guarded by two T3 destroyers respectively. As for the remaining nine frigates, they surrounded the entire fleet.

"This is the escort route. Because the fleet is a mix of T3 and T2, we can only activate the secondary warp engine together and use the shared radar to enter intelligent co-frequency warp navigation. It is expected to conduct three warp navigations in three days."

"This time we will cross three star systems to reach the front line, and then start normal navigation. It is expected to arrive at Beitianmen Space Station in three days and Xuanwu Fortress in six days. This section of the journey is the most difficult and also the most dangerous."

"Finally, we will arrive at the Xuanwu Interstellar Fortress on October 10. This is the voyage plan. Is there anything that needs to be modified?"

After Ai Er finished speaking, he looked around and saw that no one spoke, then continued:
"Well, since there is nothing to modify, we will proceed as planned for now. Huaqin, notify everyone that the fleet will share the radar and enter intelligent synchronous warp speed navigation in ten minutes."

"Yes, Captain!"

As for the shared radar entering into intelligent same-frequency warp navigation, this is an auxiliary mode of the fleet.

After use, the entire fleet is like a starship, sharing the radar of the battleships of the entire fleet.

At the same time, the same state will enter warp speed navigation, and when reaching the destination, the warp speed navigation will be exited in the same state.

This mode has many benefits, such as maintaining fleet formation, combat formation status, emergency response, etc.

The 23 starships traveled at warp speed for half a day every day in the first three days, then docked at the starport to rest for half a day. On the fourth day, they successfully arrived at Fengtian Star, the main star of the Fengtian system.

After arriving here, you can no longer enter warp travel. The route from Beitianmen Space Station to Xuanwu Interstellar Fortress is full of warp jammers.

This jammer can stretch space to a certain extent, making it difficult for the space in front of the starship to be compressed and the space behind it to be stretched, making it difficult for the warp engine to travel at high speed through the distorted space.

This is to prevent any Zerg motherships from escaping the net and directly reaching the Beitianmen Space Station through a similar warp speed navigation mode.

Of course, deploying this technology is also a huge burden for the Star Ocean Human Federation, so this kind of jammer will only be deployed in the front-line war zone, and this kind of jammer can only affect starships below T5 level.

The reason why Feng Mo and others' fleet entered normal mode after arriving at Fengtian Star is because there will be many temporary checkpoints on the next section of the star road to check passing starships.

Previously they were accompanied by people from the Mo Yu fleet so they had not been checked. Now they are on an escort mission, so it is necessary to be checked.

During the next three days of normal sailing time, the fleet was checked three times in total and officially entered the Beitianmen Space Station.

This is the second line of defense against interstellar Zerg. After arriving at the space station, Feng Mo could clearly feel that the inspection intensity had become stronger.

After resting for half a day in the space station, the fleet officially set sail and entered the final six days of voyage.

Everything went well during the previous six days of sailing, and I hope the rest of the journey will be fine too.

However, things went against one's wishes. On the third day of the fleet's voyage, an alarm sounded in the main control rooms of each starship.

"Warning! We have detected a Hive Mothership intercepting us ahead. Please enter combat readiness mode immediately!"

After hearing the alarm, all the starships instantly entered combat readiness mode. The side gun ports of the starships opened, revealing the thick gun barrels inside.

"Xiao Meng, the T3 Hyena-class interstellar aircraft carrier will immediately deploy all drones, and the main and secondary laser cannons of the other starships will be charged and ready!"

Feng Mo quickly gave orders, and beams of light lit up instantly. "Damn it! What's going on over there at the Xuanwu Interstellar Fortress? They actually missed out on defending against so many Hive Motherships!"

In the command online video, Boss Cui cursed loudly!

"Let all the frigates scatter and conduct reconnaissance!" The charming woman, no longer as alluring as before, said in a slightly panicked manner.

"No need. They have already appeared on the radar. Judging from their bio-energy information, there are 17 T3 Hive Motherships in total. We need to conduct an interception star battle. We cannot let the Hive Motherships get close to the carrier."

"Now I will assign the tasks. Xiao Meng, your interstellar aircraft carrier and nine T9-class interstellar frigates will form a team and form a fish-scale formation to intercept the opponent's 2 hive motherships. All you have to do is delay them."

"Boss Cui, two T3 battleships each with two T2 destroyers form Team 3, responsible for concentrating fire to destroy the remaining five Hive Motherships. You have 2.3 and I have 5. Remember to be quick, Xiao Meng and the others can't delay for too long!"

Feng Mo said in a deep voice. As soon as he finished speaking, the charming woman was about to say something but was interrupted by Boss Cui.

"Don't worry, I will take care of the two T2 Hive Motherships!"

Xiao Meng said excitedly, "Don't worry, Feng Mo, I will use the drone to bomb these bugs to death."

In fact, when Feng Mo issued this order, the deputy captain of Xiao Meng's fleet knew his purpose and reminded him about it, but was suppressed by Xiao Meng.

"Okay, team one will go forward to meet the enemy, teams two and three will be on standby. We should be thankful that this is just an encounter with these hive motherships. If we were ambushed and surrounded, it would be much more difficult!"

16 starships took the initiative to leave the fleet and march forward to meet the enemy. Feng Mo's move was mainly to divide the battlefield in advance. Xiao Meng's interstellar aircraft carriers and frigates formed a fish scale formation, with the frigates in front and the interstellar aircraft carriers in the back.

As long as this formation is maintained, the interstellar aircraft carrier will have plenty of time to refill the drones with elixirs, and it will be easy to hold back a dozen T3 Zerg motherships. Feng Mo and Boss Cui can take this opportunity to destroy several enemy Zerg motherships with all their strength.

To put it bluntly, it is to use ten starships as bait, but the bait set by Feng Mo is a bit big. Only Feng Mo would use an interstellar aircraft carrier as bait.

As expected, the Zerg mothership discovered an interstellar aircraft carrier in the team. It had no intention of splitting its forces, but immediately sped up, intending to concentrate its forces to break through the defense of the escort fleet first. Its target was clear: Xiao Meng's T3 interstellar aircraft carrier.

There is no other reason. In any fleet, interstellar aircraft carriers and interstellar battleships are the enemy's first targets. The choice of the hive mothership is in line with Feng Mo's expectations, and this is also because the bait he set was too heavy.

"Team Two, Team Three, get ready, pick your targets, and focus your firepower on destroying the two T3 Hive Motherships first."

At this time, 9 T2 frigates formed a line of defense in front of the T3 interstellar aircraft carrier, and the close-in defense guns continuously intercepted the biological plasma cannons fired by the opposite side and the suicide bugs that could survive for a short time in the universe.

Soon, the hulls of the nine T9 frigates suffered varying degrees of damage.

At this time, the drone of the T3 interstellar aircraft carrier arrived, relieved the pressure on the frigate, and attacked the enemy mothership at the same time. The importance of the interstellar aircraft carrier was seen at this time.

The overwhelming number of unmanned bombers poured out large amounts of ammunition, illuminating the universe with a large area of ​​orange-red light!

"fire!"

Feng Mo roared, and in an instant twenty light beams rang out, pouncing towards the two T3 Zerg motherships near the edge of the battlefield. Facing such a concentrated attack, even a biological mothership would be destroyed.

The two T3 hive motherships collapsed at the same time. Yes, they collapsed, turning into pieces of biological debris floating in the universe.

This also became the first and second mothership to fall in this Star Wars.
