Chapter 1278 Safeguards
From ancient times to the present, in the matter of war, it is very difficult for both sides to launch a secret attack.

The larger the army, the easier it is to detect its movements, and it is almost impossible to hide them from the enemy.

The same is true for Alyssa. Even if the void is really empty, thousands of warships thrown in are just a drop in the ocean, but the movement of the fleet cannot be concealed from their respective reconnaissance forces or even agents.

But at the same time, war is not fought openly. Even on the front battlefield, the intelligence obtained by commanders in the rear is always delayed, vague, or even wrong.

You need to arrange tactics and strategies on a map shrouded in the fog of war, where you cannot see the enemy and sometimes you cannot even accurately judge where your own people are.

No wonder it is said that conducting is a science. It is not a job that ordinary people can do.

This was the case on the front battlefield, and the small moves behind the scenes were even more confusing. It could even be said that the fight between the two sides in secret was more active than on the front battlefield.

This may be one of the reasons why recyclers are reluctant to participate in the war. It is easy to avoid an open attack but difficult to guard against an attack from the dark.

Alyssa was very aware of the danger she was in. They were in the enemy-occupied area, carrying agents to meet with another group of people. Although she didn't know what they were going to do specifically, she knew it was definitely intelligence work behind enemy lines.

The powerful combination of wave absorbers and optical camouflage made the Swan, a warship more than 300 meters long, quickly melt into the air. If any problems were found in the connecting ship, it could take the initiative by either firing at the damn thing or speeding away.

All we have to do now is wait.

Everyone leaned back in their seats to relax, only An Yun was still staring at the radar display to make sure he could detect any approaching ships as soon as possible.

At this time, a prompt sound requesting to enter the bridge came from the rear. Alyssa turned on the ship's surveillance and found that it was Shadow Tiger.

"Are we there yet?"

Shadow Tiger then floated in. Because it was in a microgravity environment, the hair all over his body stood up, making him look like a big tabby cat with its hair standing up.

“We have arrived at the designated location, but no ships have been seen yet.”

Yinghu thought for a moment and said:
"I am an amateur in ship navigation. I know I shouldn't interfere with the captain's decision, but please listen to my opinion."

他 说:

"I think there might be something wrong with the boat that came to meet us."

"What's the reason?"

"I was discovered at the hospital's meeting point. Although the Maple Republic didn't find me, they may be able to find this operation by tracing back to the top."

"This operation was ordered directly to me by the military."

"That's right, but there may be problems on the other side. I never doubt the ability of my colleagues in the Red Maple Republic."

Alyssa thought about it and felt that what Yinghu said was indeed possible. It wouldn’t be a big deal to keep it safe anyway.

So Alyssa turned on the ship's light wave:

"This is Captain Alyssa, announcing that the entire ship has entered level 2 combat status. All personnel are at their positions."

After turning off the radio, she said to Long:
"All weapons begin self-checking to ensure they can be used at any time."

The second-level combat status means that non-combat personnel return to the cabin, combat personnel, damage control and mechanic teams are all on standby at their respective positions, and the automatic loader starts running to load all guns and cannons.

Compared to the first-level combat alert where all non-essential facilities on the ship are shut down directly, the second-level combat alert simply ensures that the ship can be used at any time.

If you cannot maintain this state during long-term sailing, you will not be able to bear it.

Of course, no matter how cautious she is, Alyssa still hopes to complete the handover smoothly.

Now, we just need to wait for the connecting ship to arrive.

–‐‐——–‐‐——Time passed little by little. Due to the uncertainty of deep space navigation and the fact that this was still enemy-occupied territory, it was normal for a certain degree of delay to occur even if a contact time was stipulated.

What's more, Alyssa and the others arrived earlier. It was not until the third hour after the ship stopped that An Yun reported:

"The jump signal appears. The jump will end in ten seconds."

This sentence perked up everyone in the bridge.

"The jump is complete. The target appears on the radar, but has not yet entered visual range. Based on the signal strength, it is estimated to be a cruise ship."

The ship coming for the connection certainly cannot be a large ship. It is usually a cruiser or a high-speed frigate. Considering the concealment, it may also be camouflaged to a certain extent like the Swan.

"Want to initiate communication?"

"Do not."

Alyssa asked Villania not to rush:
"That ship is still a bit far from the connection coordinates. Let's wait until they get within visual distance."

Bringing up the images from the optical sighting equipment to the main screen on the bridge, everyone stared at the blurry engine lights that suddenly appeared in the darkness.

After a while, the engine light began to become clearer, and the shape of the ship gradually came into the visual range of the optical sighting equipment.

Judging from the appearance of the ship, it is a cruiser of the Whirlpool Federation. They like to build cruisers in a cigar-like shape with a built-in bridge, rather than having an illegal bridge on its back like the Swan.

It can be seen that they are using conventional navigation and rushing to the rendezvous point at full speed. I believe their radar must have been turned on, but because the Swan has a radar absorber, the Swan cannot be seen.

Alyssa did not stop at the meeting point, but kept a certain distance. Seeing that the other party was heading in the direction of the meeting point, she felt that it should be correct.

However, this cruise ship did not seem to have been camouflaged. If anything, it was just that the hull number and the national flag and military ensign of the Swirling Water Federation had been painted over.

With this level of disguise, although we can say that we are recyclers and that this ship is a second-hand ship purchased from the army of the Xuanshui Federation when questioned, isn't it a bit too ostentatious to operate so brazenly in enemy-occupied areas?
Alyssa vaguely felt that something was wrong, but at this time, the cruise ship close to the rendezvous point fired red, blue and yellow flares in sequence, and repeated them according to the agreed pattern.

This is a secret code for the connection. In order to ensure the safety of both parties, the two parties will not communicate via video call during the connection process, and it is best not to even communicate with each other by voice.

The signal was correct, but it still felt vaguely unsettling.

Looking back at Yinghu, his cat face also looked very serious.

Noticing Alyssa looking over, Yinghu said:
"I fully obey your decision, Captain, but please be careful, something is indeed wrong."

Alyssa nodded, it seemed that this abnormality was not her illusion.

"Remove the optical camouflage, turn off the absorber, and send out a light signal to get that ship to come over."

The Swan immediately emerged from invisibility and fired flares one after another, which immediately attracted the attention of the cruise ship. It slightly changed its course and flew towards the Swan.

"Sannah?"

“Ah? What’s the matter, Sister Alyssa.”

Sanafia was lying on the porthole at the back of the bridge, looking outside out of boredom. She was stunned when she heard this.

"You and a few others will accompany Yinghu to take over the task later. If there are any problems, bring Yinghu back immediately."

"Okay, no problem, leave it to me."

Sanafia patted her chest happily, which made Yinghu a little confused.

The safeguard is this elf girl who is not even as tall as my waist?
