Chapter 1153: Commanding Fingers

e my brother, I already tolerated you last night. If you dare to insult me again, it won't just be a punch."Wu Lianyi smiled, her eyes nearly squeezed shut because she was so chubby."I'll go tell Mom....What else could Captain Droe say As long as there are people left in command, this is their word. They can offer suggestions, but before receiving orders from above, they must follow what they've been told.

"Ahem, was it you who issued the order for a total annihilation just now"

He pretended not to know and asked.

"Yes, and judging from the current situation, the enemy's mission to destroy the command center was successful. Next, the warships of Okotevis will advance to our defensive line. How can we not prepare for defense and counterattack"

The ripples replied.

De Ru touched his nose and said nothing.

"Captain Deru, can you give me a position I need to establish a command system and get in touch with Headquarters of the 718th."

I have contacted the 718th group, but they haven't responded yet.

Deng Ru frowned.

Ripple's eyelids twitched after hearing that. It wasn't her being a jinx, but from what she saw, the XZ9 defense zone was likely already under the scrutiny of the Octovinians. The first step was to sever their connections horizontally.

"Captain Drew, you can send a communications team to the 718th Division's headquarters to report our situation truthfully. What we need to do next is to guard our own territory until we receive new orders."

Ripple spoke very directly.

"I understand, the communications team is on standby. I want to send the wounded back together."

Colonel Drew said.

"Captain Drule, I suggest you not bring the wounded. I think they would be ambushed by the enemy."

Ripple truths and speak plainly.

After some thought, Delu decided to take Ripple's advice and quickly dispatched a communications squad.

After connecting the ripples to the spaceship's system, she began clicking frantically on the light screen. She wanted Xiao Liu to build the combat system as quickly as possible, and also to switch channels. Since the other party could cut off lateral communication, they must have deciphered their communication methods.

But ripples thought about it for a while and then privately messaged Little Liuxiang:

"Xiao Liu, don't dismantle the existing communication system for now, keep it running. See if the Octavius aliens will try to intercept it. If they do, follow their signal and infiltrate their system. Can you do that"

"It's possible, but if they only intercept once it would be difficult for me to catch the signal, unless they intercept frequently."

Little Six is calculating the probability.

How many times do they intercept you before you can catch the signal

"Firstly, you have to make sure they intercepted it. Secondly, capturing signals in space is difficult, at least they need to intercept ten times for it to work."

This is what the sixth grader calculated.

"I understand. We'll act once you've set up the new command system."

Ripple stopped her actions and sat down on the chair, then tapped her fingers against the armrest, falling into deep thought. The tapping sound captivated everyone in the main control room, who would steal glances at Ripple's serious expression from time to time.

After the mecha units and star beast combat squads returned to welcome them, Lianyi left the command room. She first went to check on her comrades, making sure how many people could continue fighting. After going around, only three people were able to fight.

These three people were still on holiday and not in the center of the explosion. They were only affected by the blast wave.

Ripple sighed and rested her forehead in her hand. It's not a time to be picky, some is better than none.

"Liang Qian, Qingluan, and Lieutenant An Mengmeng, can you still participate in the following battle"

"Yes!"

A man and two women immediately shouted back.

“Okay, now go to the main control room. I've built a new combat system. We have a tough fight ahead of us. You need to connect the new system to the troops as quickly as possible and make sure every order we give goes through smoothly.”

"Yes!"

Three people stood at attention, saluted, and then ran out of the medical room to complete their mission.

The ripples went to see Commander Sabir again. He was deeply affected and had fallen into a coma.

"Doctor, will Commander Sabir be alright"

If you don't want him to die now, I suggest you don't wake him up.

The medic officer scratched at his explosive hair, helplessly addressing Ripple.

Lieutenant Colonel Deru had already asked that once before.

"I understand. Please make sure to stabilize Commander Sabir's injuries."

Of course, that is my duty.

The medical officer, after finishing his statement, began to shoo everyone away. The critically injured couldn't be disturbed, otherwise how could they recover He had to keep a close eye on them at all times.

When ripples returned to the main control room, Liang Quán, Qing Luán, and An Mēngmēng were already occupying a corner, busy on the command system Xiao Liù had built, establishing contact with the ten warships on the front line.

The ripples turned their head and went to find Captain Drew.

"Captain, please listen carefully to what I have to say, and then give me your opinion."

"Okay."

Based on the current overall situation analysis, the 718th Army's position should be designated as a breakthrough point by the Oktovian invaders.

I don't have firsthand information on whether the defensive lines of the regions connected to us have also been attacked. I can't judge that. However, the fact that our command ship was attacked proves that the other side came prepared.

At the same time, our lateral connections were severed. It goes without saying that this was the work of the Ocotervisians. They didn't hesitate to sacrifice an entire mechanized battalion just to draw our attention and allow their death squad to blow up the command center.

Now that they've succeeded, when we can't contact our superiors, they're going to launch a large-scale attack.

So we need to be proactive, not reactive. Passive defense and active offense are two different things. I will set a trap for the Octarians, luring them to commit as many of their forces as possible to our front lines.

Before reinforcements arrive, we must hold our ground until the very end. Can we do that”

Ripple asked seriously.

De Ru rubbed his temples, pondered for a long time before asking:

" Commander, how confident are you that you can lure the enemy here"

Sixty percent.

"Worth a shot, but you know, if reinforcements don't arrive in time, even if we are completely wiped out, the front line will still be breached."

De Ru is not afraid of sacrifice, only that the sacrifices made by everyone cannot bring about the desired results.

"Therefore, before luring the enemy in, arrange for personnel to conduct the final deployment behind our defensive lines."

"Do you want to use a black hole bomb"

Drew widened his eyes.

"Well, how many did you bring"

The ripples asked.

"Three."

Then have someone arrange it.

But what if it doesn't bring in the main force of the Okotevis Star

Drew still wants to struggle a little.

Then there's no need to activate the black hole bomb.owner almost died in a beast's mouth while picking fruit, making way for Yan Jia.When Sang learned that the original body had left the team and disappeared, he had missed the best time to track it. Wh...
