Chapter 250: Failure

“Tsk, this is a little far from the expected number…As expected, it wasn’t that easy to deceive an artificial intelligence.”
A general, who was hundreds of galaxies away from the battlefield, pouted and complained unwillingly.
Unlike the ideal fleet of the unexpected enemy that had come to attack, the fleet of the unexpected enemy that had arrived in the numbered galaxy was not even half of the expected number.
This artificial intelligence was similar to its usual behavior. It treated the enemy as an opponent to a certain extent and did not send too many fleets to this place that might seem like a trap.
Of course, it was also possible that the theory of probability made the unexpected enemy not choose to do so. Compared to the benefits of attacking this place and the risk of falling into a trap, it chose to be conservative.
“If this was the case, it was far from being able to hurt the unexpected enemy… However, if they exaggerated the publicity a little, it would have the same effect on raising morale.”
Some generals were thinking about how to maximize the impact of this victory. They wanted to change the low morale of their civilization and at the same time, they wanted to build their image as famous generals of the age.
After all, this was a battle where the Milky Way civilization worked together to fight against the crisis. It was almost inevitable that it would go down in history. At that time, even if only one name was mentioned, it would be enough for them to be remembered for centuries.
In addition, some generals who were concerned about practical benefits were busy with another matter, which was to command the unmanned guardian fleets from afar and then seize the time to destroy the battleships of the unexpected enemy.
As the galaxy focal point: unexpected enemy motion came into effect, rewarding according to the number of enemy fleets destroyed had been included in the Interstellar Wartime Law.
In the post-war statistics, the number of unexpected enemy fleets destroyed would also be an important contribution standard, which would play an important role in the reallocation of Milky Way resources.
For whatever reason, when the unexpected enemy fleet arrived, although they were dissatisfied, they could not hide their excitement.
This state was very similar to a certain civilization that had perished a long time ago. Regardless of its strength, it had never treated its enemies as adversaries, until its destruction.
The rapid expansion of strength would breed many open and hidden evils. Greedy ambition and desire would make people subconsciously ignore their disadvantages, and arrogance and conceit would make people look down on the opponents they would face.
The ending of the civilizations with all the above labels had already been played out in the Milky Way. Those destroyed empires were still staring at the Milky Way civilizations in the trash heap of history.
The lesson life learned from history was to never learn from it.
The only thing that could be remembered by life was the pain that they had personally experienced.
“I don’t care anymore! I’ll take down the first prize for this unexpected enemy!”
Before he could finish his sentence, a general commanded the fleet from afar and took the lead in attacking.
While the main cannons of the other battleships were still charging, he fired the main cannons that were not fully charged.
This went against the requirements of the pre-war meeting. All the main cannons fired at the same time, trying to cause the greatest damage to the unexpected enemy before the battle began.
His actions would definitely be reported in the Milky Way Court in the future, but if he could create great achievements in this battle, then this violation of military orders would be packaged as being sensitive, able to seize opportunities, and doing things that ordinary people would not dare to do.
And this general seemed to have really seized the opportunity. The main cannon of the battleship under his command hit several unexpected enemy main-force ships.
The battleships that were still charging seemed to have not expected the enemy to attack so quickly. The small ships that were supposed to be used as decoys did not complete their intended role. Although the shields that had not yet fully expanded weakened most of the main cannon’s energy, when the hull was hit directly, it still suffered great damage.
This damage almost indicated that the unexpected enemy battleship could no longer play a role on this battlefield. Therefore, the general who fired ahead of time did not care and directly ordered the small ships in the Administrator Fleet to pursue, and the battle cruiser’s second main cannon was also rapidly charging.
As long as the recorder on the spaceship confirmed that the fleet he commanded had destroyed the unexpected enemy battleship, the contribution points of the civilization behind him would increase sharply, and he would become a hero and be remembered by the people.
Seeing that this first runner was about to get off to a good start, even though most of the generals were still faithfully carrying out their original plan, there were still a few who were eager to make a move.
They chose to fire one second before the scheduled main cannon salvo.
This situation was an acceptable error, but one second was enough to change the order of first come, first serve.
One by one, the unexpected enemy battleships began to explode in the light beams. The red metal fragments were flying in the universe at an unbelievable speed.
However, the consecutive explosions did not last long. Soon, the irregular formation of the unexpected enemy fleet due to hyperdrive returned to normal.
The fully extended shield field made it impossible for the main cannon to be penetrated without being fully charged. The carrier aircraft that interfered with the locking of weapons also began to fly in large numbers, causing the accuracy of the main cannon to decrease in the battle beyond the visual range.
The small ship that was sailing at high speed also arrived at the ‘dog fight zone’ in the middle of the galaxy and engaged in a battle with the Administrator Fleet’s frigate.
A new round of battle was about to start, and the command center of this battle had also received a report of the battle losses.
“Report! The battle damage ratio between our army and the enemy fleet has successfully reached 1:1!”
This good news made the already relaxed atmosphere even more cheerful. These generals began to talk and laugh, and even some of the generals who had never smiled smiled smiled for a long time.
However, someone noticed the reporter’s hesitant expression and asked what was going on. Then, they received a piece of bad news.
“Most of the enemy fleet’s true losses are small battleships. Those large battleships that were not directly destroyed by the unexpected enemy are using unknown methods to repair themselves…”
Misfortunes never came alone. A general who was concentrating on commanding the fleet suddenly shouted and began to smash the mechanical platform in front of him in anger.
“Why? The enemy reloaded faster than me! Their firepower is also stronger than mine! The Administrator can destroy it with a single shot, but I had to use two! The enemy had already fired four shots!”
This abnormal situation gave all the manipulators of the battle a bad feeling.
They pulled up the video and saw a shocking scene.
An unexpected enemy flagship and an Administrator Fleet flagship coincidentally aimed their cannons at each other.
On the interstellar scale, a difference of one millimeter was enough to cause an attack to deviate thousands of miles after ten million meters. However, this time, a rare wave clash occurred.
The beams of the two main cannons crossed countless distances and finally collided in the middle.
They had thought that since they were both main ships, even if they were no match, they could at least hold on for a while.
However, they did not expect that the beams of their main cannons were devoured like rocks falling into the ocean. The beams of the main cannons of the unexpected enemy seemed to have never been obstructed before, blowing up their battleship into a cosmic firework.
All of them were in the same state for a while, and then they all began to throw themselves into the battlefield.
As expected, a 10 vs 1 situation appeared, but the side with 10 was the Milky Way civilization.
After paying a heavy price and a terrifying battle-loss ratio, this Stargate Battle finally ended with the victory of the Milky Way civilization.
However, whether it was in terms of tactics or strategy, they had failed to achieve their goals.
The unexpected enemy seemed to have confirmed the situation of this numbered galaxy and left halfway through the battle. However, the Milky Way civilizations did not dare to pursue them because their losses were too heavy.
The slightly better ones had lost two-thirds of the Administrator Fleet that was handed over, while the slightly worse ones had their entire fleet wiped out. They had no choice but to be thick-skinned and borrow from the Administrators.
As for the Administrator Fleet stationed in this numbered galaxy, they had long been destroyed by the unexpected enemy fleet in the first wave of impact.
Operation Stargate that they had carried out was completely done behind the Administrator’s back.
They thought that they could make a surprise, but the reality was extremely painful.
Until the Administrator Fleet that blocked the unexpected enemy arrived, every general of the Milky Way civilization who participated in this battle did not dare to look directly at the black fleet.
They felt humiliated, but they had to seek help from the Administrator again because without help, they could not even defend themselves.
Therefore, a general hesitated for a moment. After obtaining permission from the upper echelons of the civilization, he once again sought help from the Administrator.
[ Request received, processing… ]
[ The second batch of Administrator Fleets is about to arrive. I hope they can help you. ]
At this moment, everyone who was present seemed to feel a certain part of their hearts tremble violently..
