From Cannon Fodder to Sweeping Across Thousands of Stars

Chapter 469 Changing Home!

In the Star Dragon Empire Royal Navy's 'Heart of Oak' starport, a tactical information coordinator at the combat command center was staring at the constantly updated monitoring data.

Since the Federation launched a counterattack and burned the war into the Empire, the 'Heart of Oak' starport has changed from the original 'second-line supply and maintenance port' to a frontier starport on the front line.

The entire starport has also been greatly transformed and strengthened during this period. Not only has it added additional fusion furnaces and superconducting battery packs, but it has also added a large number of defensive weapons and deflection field generators.

The most important thing is that multiple groups of long-distance composite detection arrays have been deployed in the starport for early warning and war situation monitoring.

And the tactical information coordinator is monitoring the data sent back by one of the detection arrays. Although it has been monitored for several weeks, no one in the combat command center dares to take it lightly.

Especially after receiving the intelligence conveyed by his superiors that the Federation fleet may launch a large-scale attack in the near future

The tactical information coordinator is a little sleepy with the same and unchanging data on the workbench screen.

Although the control personality of the ‘Heart of Oak’ starport is responsible for monitoring these data, the officers of the combat command center still require personnel at each combat position to do a secondary manual verification.

Just as the tactical information coordinator was thinking about whether the effect of the stimulant he had injected before taking up his post today was about to end, the control personality of the starport suddenly detected a burst of abnormal signals.

It was a group of signals from a nebula somewhere, but due to the interference of this dust cloud on the detection effect, and the location of the nebula happened to be in the ‘side lobe’ of the long-distance detection array, the control personality of the starport did not directly issue a warning, but marked it as abnormal.

If it were normal, the tactical information coordinator might just pay more attention to it, and if there was no abnormality in the follow-up, he would ‘filter’ out this signal.

But now is an extraordinary period, so after thinking for a moment, he still pressed a call button on the workbench, and raised his hand and said:

"Captain, do you want to take a look at this?"

As he called, a figure wearing the black uniform of the Imperial Royal Navy floated to his side.

After closing the call prompt, the captain on duty looked carefully at the virtual screen on the workbench in front of him.

"Is this the signal from the M5 nebula?"

"Yes, Captain," the tactical information coordinator said, while quickly operating on the workbench, displaying a series of charts.

"Because the interference of the dust cloud is too serious, the star port control personality cannot determine the characteristics of this signal. I also compared it with the characteristic database, but there is no result. The characteristics of the signal are too vague."

"Tsk, it is indeed impossible to judge, but at this critical moment, I think we should 'think more'?"

The captain on duty pondered for a moment, and then gave an order: "Quantum entanglement communication enters standby mode, and the communication targets are set to Sorrow, Chaos, Gospel, and Tranquility Fortress."

Soon, the communicator responsible for controlling the quantum entanglement communication equipment completed the basic settings and opened the information compilation interface at the same time, because the information to be transmitted will be translated before being sent out.

"Captain, what do you need to input?"

"The 'Heart of Oak' starport was attacked by the Federation Fleet. If there is no second communication, it means that the starport has fallen and the enemy is large in scale."

The captain on duty calmly said the content that needed to be translated, even if it mentioned the worst case scenario that the starport might encounter.

"The input has been completed and can be transmitted at any time!"

"Stand by. If we are attacked next, transmit the information immediately without asking for permission, because the enemy will definitely attack our communication unit first."

"Yes! Captain!"

Hearing the words of the captain on duty, the communicator responded nervously and put the warning information at the top of the 'to be sent' list.

The captain on duty who gave the order also turned back to look at the tactical information coordinator beside him.

"Keep watching. Even if it is a small abnormality, it should be taken seriously at this point in time."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the shrill alarm that suddenly sounded in the combat command center.

This time, the star port control personality was no longer "confused", but quickly identified the sudden abnormal fluctuations in the surrounding space.

"Warning! Unauthorized space collapse detected!"

"Warning! Abnormal mass growth detected in space!"

When the two alarms sounded, Oak Heart Star Port and the surrounding imperial fleets that were regrouping saw a burst of dense white flashes in the distance.

With each flash of white light, the main screen of the combat command center would mark an orange-red star representing an unidentified unit in the deep space.

When the entire screen was about to be filled, the communicator who came to his senses quickly placed his palm on a ball of volumetric light representing "transmission information", and at the same time took a last look at the captain on duty on the other side.

At the moment the latter nodded, the communicator did not hesitate to shoot at the volumetric light.

This information, which directly determined the direction of the next battle, also sank into the deep space at this moment and was transmitted to the four artificial celestial fortresses.

——

"The Oak Heart Starport was attacked by the Federation Fleet. If there is no second communication, it means that the starport has fallen and the invading enemy is large in scale."

When Duke saw this urgent message, his face suddenly became serious, and he realized that the situation might be developing towards the "worst possible" deduction before the war.

"Can you contact the Oak Heart Starport?"

"Sir, we have tried all communication channels, but we have not been able to contact the Oak Heart Starport!" The communicator of the Celestial Fortress said nervously.

"Ask the other three fortresses to see if they can contact. If the Oak Heart is completely out of contact, it means that the Federation's attack has begun."

Soon, the information from the other three fortresses came back, and no one could contact the Oak Heart Starport.

At the same time, another bad news came - in addition to the Oak Heart, two other front-line starports also lost contact, and even the warning signal could not be sent out.

If it wasn't for the routine communication check, the problem might not have been discovered so quickly.

"Multiple attacks, and each point has this kind of superior force that can quickly suppress the defenders?"

Duke frowned. Although the four celestial fortresses and their battle groups, as well as other fleets, had entered the combat preparation stage in advance, the Federation's attack still came faster than expected.

At this time, Duke Duke didn't want to hold the intelligence department and the reconnaissance fleet responsible, but continued to speak:

"Contact Duke William and tell him that I agree to implement the plan he mentioned. At the same time, notify Hastings and Duke Artesia and tell them that the Fortress of Sorrow and the Fortress of Chaos will attack one of the Federation's mobile fortresses!"
