Regarding the transaction with Hoglas, all three parties on Zheng Gan's side are proceeding in an orderly manner.
After replacing more fleet weapons, Bruce prepared to purge the domestic rebels.
The large-scale fleet mobilization naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of the Transcendents and the Executors. These two forces immediately realized that Hoglas was preparing to directly eliminate them with the advantages of new weapons and equipment.
Fortunately, before this, they had more or less completed a transaction with Zheng Gan and Luo Ji and upgraded their own fleet to a certain extent.
Now Bruce and Irus are having a video call and decided that the two families will join forces to fight against Hoglas's fleet.
According to intelligence, the main movement of the Hoglas fleet is towards the Cincinnati galaxy where the Executor is located, so the Executor will face the main force.
The Transcendents will interfere with Hoglas's fleet from the rear.
The smell of gunpowder in the war was becoming more and more intense. Luo Ji and Zheng Gan, who had roughly completed the deal, naturally retreated behind the scenes.
It can be said that this war was fanned by them, and they certainly cannot just let it go like this. They have to fight first and let these three companies truly feel the changes in the situation before they can carry out further transactions.
We are still in the early stages of contact and the voice is not loud enough to get a good price.
......
Seven months after Hoglas time, the Hoglas fleet, which had completed its modifications for this expedition, embarked on a journey to attack the Cincinnati system under the personal leadership of Hoglas leader Bruce.
Airus has been on defense for a long time, and the performance of its warships has been greatly improved with the support of Luo Ji. Therefore, Airus is also eager to confront Hoglas's main fleet.
On the outskirts of the Cincinnati star field, the Hoglas fleet, which had jumped here, was immediately received "cordially" by the Executor fleet.
Through the secret manipulation of Luo Ji and Zheng Gan, the control brain of the Executor Fleet is now the Small Treasury. This advanced intelligence instantly calculated the location of the Hoglas Fleet after the jump.
Therefore, Airus ambushed Hoglas's fleet at the designated location early in the morning.
The warships of the Hoglas fleet did not have as good shields as the Three-Body Fleet. The Executor Fleet, which had been waiting for a long time, paralyzed the outer fleet that Hoglas had jumped over with a single salvo.
How could the proud Bruce bear such a big loss right at the beginning?
Without caring about the side effects of the jump engine after the fleet's jump, Bruce relied on the advantages of fleet numbers and equipment to command the fleet and the Executor's fleet to fight in space.
Having suffered losses from the Sky Cloud Lightning before, although this time the battle was an ambush by the Executors, they still kept a considerable distance on the front battlefield to prevent their fleet from being defeated by the shooting of the Sky Cloud Lightning.
The battle between the two sides was very strange. The ambushed party was chasing frantically, while the ambushing party was dodging and keeping distance.
Then, in this way, the longer the time drags on, the more advantageous it will be for Bruce. The side effects of the engine jump will gradually disappear, so Bruce is not in a hurry. Instead, he is happy to see the Executor's fleet being frightened by the power of his own fleet and dare not engage in a head-on battle.
It was fine at the beginning, but as the side effects of the engine gradually subsided, Bruce discovered something strange.
That is, no matter how the speed of our side increases, the opposing fleet can always maintain a relatively safe distance from our side. In other words, the opposing fleet is not inferior to our side in terms of speed and energy.
The long-term battles made Bruce realize that the Executors' technological capabilities were not enough to produce an engine of this level in a short period of time. Thinking of his deal with the Trisolarans, could it be that the Executors were also making a deal with some unknown civilization?
With such doubts, Bruce immediately ordered the fleet to increase the power of the Sky Cloud Lightning to the maximum for testing.
Currently, the distance between the Executor Fleet and the Hoglas Fleet is maintained at a "safe distance", which is also the recognized range of the Sky Cloud Lightning.
But in fact, the range of Tianyun Lightning is longer than this distance, in order to create an intelligence information gap.
The movement of the charged Sky Cloud Lightning naturally could not be hidden from the Executor Fleet, and they immediately moved from a relatively safe distance to an absolutely safe distance.
Unfortunately, this time the distance they thought was absolutely safe was not so safe. Powerful arcs of energy poured out from the warships, and in an instant they broke through the previously believed safe distance and headed towards the location of the Executor fleet.
At this point, how could Airus not know that some of the data was deliberately spread outside by Hoglas?
In a powerful explosion, all the Executor fleets instantly increased their speed to the maximum, barely avoiding the attack.
Seeing that the results of the Tianyun Lightning activated at full power on his side were far less than expected, Bruce was certain that other forces must have intervened on the executor's side.
Bruce frowned when he saw that the civil war had suddenly turned into this. The transaction on the Trisolaran side was completely in line with diplomacy, and they had never interfered in his internal affairs. Therefore, Bruce did not connect this matter with his newly recognized allies. Instead, he felt that now that other alien forces had appeared, he should strengthen his contact with the Trisolaran allies to deal with the current turbulent situation.
Airus, who had escaped death, was looking at the direction of the lightning explosion with lingering fear. If it weren't for the deal between Zheng Gan and them that allowed them to improve the fleet's engine, based on the speed of the previous warships, the previous round of Tianyun lightning would probably have wiped out most of their fleet.
"It seems we need to strengthen our cooperation."
After this little episode, the two sides started to fight each other in space again. Although the Execution Fleet, which had the home advantage, was not as numerous as the Hoglas Fleet, it was still able to barely slow down their offensive.
At this moment, Bruce, who had been commanding the fleet to attack, suddenly received a request for help from the fleet on the mother planet Hogh Iram.
The Transcendent Fleet launched a fierce attack on the mother galaxy. They were equipped with more advanced weapons than before. The remaining troops were completely unable to withstand their attack and could only deal with them based on the mother galaxy's defense facilities.
