Chapter 1359 Enemy Reinforcements
There is no such thing as a war without casualties, especially for ships of the cruiser class, which are often the most dangerous unit in the fleet.

Cruisers do not have strong enough shields or powerful enough artillery, but they are required to use their mobility and flexibility to conduct reconnaissance in the most dangerous places.

There is a very real rumor circulating in the military that when you are selected to join the cruise ship, you can already write a suicide note to your family.

Light cruise ships like the Swan, which have been modified many times, are individual cases and are not replicable.

Alyssa felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Her mind knew that death was a normal situation, but the person who had just reported to her was suddenly told that he was gone. The feeling of loss still weighed on her heart.

Alyssa retracted the smile that was revealed due to the easing of the war situation, and said seriously:
"Captain Holm and all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their country are great heroes, Major. I will not allow you to tarnish the epic of heroes with your tears on the battlefield."

"Yes! I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

The major on the other side of the screen blinked hard, trying to swallow back his tears.

The most effective way to relieve sadness is to cry without any hesitation.

Alyssa knew this very well, because when her grandfather passed away, she hid in her room and cried for three days before she calmed down a little.

But not now, not at all.

The enemy will not give you the chance to cry. As the commander of this patrol fleet, Alyssa must do what she should do.

That's what they say, soldiers can cry, but not on the battlefield.

Taking a deep breath, Alyssa continued:

"Since Captain Holm has died in the line of duty, you should assume the responsibility of the flagship and receive the new route map. We will..."

Before Alyssa finished speaking, she was interrupted by An Yun:

"New jump signal detected! Number 173! Type estimated to be a destroyer or frigate."

Could it be friendly forces again?

Alyssa raised her hand to the person on the other side of the screen, signaling to wait a moment. She immediately turned around and looked at the transition information marked by An Yun.

The predicted jump location is behind the enemy aircraft carrier...

wrong!

These are not friendly troops, but reinforcements of the enemy!

If they were friendly reinforcements coming from the stargate, then the jump point should be behind the Swan, just like the cruise ship formation just now.

The captain on the other side of the screen also discovered the jump signal and was looking down at the information, but they did not have a psychic and could not accurately predict the jump location.

After all, the Swan's configuration is too luxurious, and rare psychics are usually only found on battleships or starships.

"There are new jump signals, 220 in number, with extremely high mass signals detected, presumably from a battleship or starship!"

These were definitely not friendly forces. Alyssa knew that the Stargate would not be able to send its main fleet to support them. If they did so, the Stargate's defense would not be sufficient.

She made a prompt decision:

"Notify the entire fleet to abandon the target. I repeat, abandon the target!"

As she spoke, she quickly tapped the screen next to the captain's seat to reset the course.

"Starting from the last ship, all ships turn around and start pulse flight. We must rush back to the fortress immediately!"

It was more like an escape than a return to the fortress.

The major on the other end of the line was visibly stunned:
"Turn around? But the enemy is about to be completely destroyed. Even if it is reinforcements, we should..."

"Obey the order! Major! It's not time for you to sacrifice your life for the country yet!" The major clearly showed an unwilling expression, but the higher the rank, the more powerful the person. She gritted her teeth and saluted Alyssa:
"As you command, Captain Alyssa."

The communication was then cut off.

It is understandable that one would want to avenge a colleague when his ship was sunk, but the emotion of revenge should not affect one's normal judgment.

The recruits didn’t understand this and were easily emotional, so Alyssa forced them to obey orders.

But Alyssa didn’t care whether they listened or not, and immediately said:

"We'll turn around too, at the fastest speed."

Carlos turned the rudder sharply, and the Swan, which was originally leading the charge, simply turned in a circle in a drifting posture.

Even if your butt is facing the firepower of the enemy's remaining troops, you must lose your head.

"Engine room! Direct energy into the pulse device immediately. This is the top priority!"

Generally speaking, it is necessary to issue pulse flight commands in advance so that the engine room can allocate energy, but the incident happened suddenly and the work that could have been carried out in an orderly manner suddenly became more intense.

Under Alyssa's command, the entire cruise ship fleet began to turn around, and started pulse flight from the last ship in turn to return to the vicinity of the fortress.

But even if this fleet was made up of maneuverable cruise ships, it would be impossible for them to complete a series of actions such as turning around and running away within 10 seconds. From the discovery of the jump signal to the end of the jump, it took exactly about ten seconds.

"Jump completed, signal clear...visual confirmation that it is the enemy reinforcement fleet!"

As soon as the Swan turned around, the enemy fleet arrived.

A large number of destroyers and frigates appeared behind the enemy's mobile aircraft carrier. Although they had not yet entered the firing range, it was just a matter of speeding up.

Alyssa was also very nervous. No matter how tough the Swan was, it was only at the destroyer level. If it was covered by the firepower of the main fleet, its fate would not be much better than that of an ordinary cruise ship.

But in the tense situation, she clicked on the icons of friendly ships on the monitor one by one with very precise and error-free operations, and then initiated communication.

"Ships that hear the communication, immediately activate the smoke generators and blow away everything that can block the line of sight!"

The Swan also activated the smoke generator immediately and threw smoke bombs out frantically.

"The second wave of the enemy fleet has completed its jump, the signal is clear, and the barrage is coming!"

"Emergency avoidance!"

The smoke bomb had just been fired and had not formed a thick wall of smoke. Besides, people only needed to aim in a general direction. After all, in order to destroy the mobile aircraft carrier, Alyssa used a relatively dense formation.

The Swan had just performed an evasive maneuver when a large number of ion beams immediately penetrated the smoke that had not yet completely dissipated. Some ion beams hit the Swan's shield, causing the azure shield to flicker from the bridge, as if it was about to be pierced.

The Swan's shield strength is already comparable to that of a destroyer. The reason it's struggling now is that it has been fighting for a while and there is not much shield energy left.

Since even the Swan was unable to resist, the cruise ship would be even worse off.

Just within Alyssa's visual range, she could see through the bridge that several cruise ships that were about to start pulse flight were hit and melted, and some even exploded because their engines were hit.

The cruiser cannot confront the main fleet head-on, not to mention that everyone is now facing the enemy.

The Swan can resist, but only relatively speaking. Since it was the Swan that took the lead in the charge just now, it is now at the end of the team.

Moreover, the Swan had no means of resistance against the enemy behind it, and it had used up all its rockets, so it was now in a passive position.

All the people on board could do was to adjust the ship's attitude and pray that the cruise ship in front would quickly start pulse flight and clear the route.
