Chapter 202: Warp Blocking Device.

An hour after Ed posted the mission, all 48 Affiliated Civilizations located in the Loulan Star Field had accepted it. No one wanted to miss out on it.

According to the information uploaded by these Affiliated Civilizations, after receiving the mission, Ed calculated that after adding up all of the warships that the Affiliated Civilizations had dispatched, there were a total of 139 fleets and 2.78 million warships!

These were still Level 4 Civilization warships, despite it being a weaker version. They were sufficient enough to compete with the Babawi Empire bought warships. Fighting a Level 3 Civilization warship would be no different from mowing the grass.

In addition, there were still the 3 legions that the Human Federation could dispatch themselves and the 20 legions from the Io Federation.

After the calculation, the total combat power of this united force was 32 legions strong; with a total number of 9.5 million warships, almost breaking 10 million!

Liang Xingchen was the most excited at this time. After all, he would be the one commanding this huge force. As a commander, was there anything more exciting than this?

Just like in the Loulan Star Field, the Human Federation was not going to destroy all of the Civilizations they had encountered, Rather, they will spend time evaluating each one.

As long as the Civilizations had enough potential, they could escape the purge of the Human Federation and become an Affiliated Civilization, not having to worry about future development.

While the Human Federation was gathering its forces to prepare for the big battle, Lin Fan was taking his “Lehman Empire Fleet”, and attacked everywhere.

Since the raid on the small Trade Hub No. 11765 in the Babawi Empire, Lin Fan had attacked more than 50 small Trade Hubs in the past three months.

At the Babawi Empire’s small Trade Hub No. 11917.

Currently, Lin Fan’s fleet had just wiped out the Guard Fleet and were heading towards the orbit of the planet. After clearing all of the Starports, they would retreat.

However, at this time, a change had occurred. A large number of fleets came to the airspace of the small Trade Hub No. 11765 through Warp Engines.

“Commander-in-Chief, a large number of warships of the Babawi Empire appeared. According to the scans, they number about 900,000!”

Will immediately reported to Lin Fan.

“Don’t worry, we have already predicted this situation, haven’t we? After all, we have been fighting for so long, it will be abnormal if the other party doesn’t send a fleet over.”

The Babawi Empire making such a move had long been expected, even before the battle.

On the contrary, Lin Fan was surprised that it had taken over three months before they arrived!

The Babawi Empire was slow in taking action. According to his original estimate, they should have come in, at most, two months, not three.

“Will, according to the predetermined plan, release the self-destructing Warp Blocking Device. At the same time, order the entire fleet to activate their Warp Blocking Counter Device, and prepare to retreat!”

“Yes!”

Soon, a device was ejected from the (flagship) Chaos. This device was camouflaged, looking like a simple fragment of a warship, which could be seen everywhere in this battlefield.

After launching this device, under the leadership of the Chaos, all of the ‘Lehman Empire’ warships began to turn and evacuated through warping.

“Immediately calculate their warping direction!”

Barbarot, the commander of the Babawi Empire’s fleet, shouted to his subordinates.

After all, the warping was done in a straight line, so the route in which the opponent would take, could be calculated from their warp direction.

After obtaining the other party’s warping path, one could make a reference. For example, the other party’s warping route was exactly aligned with a certain Trade Hub!

“Commander Barbarot, there’s only one Trade Hub on the opponent’s warping route. It’s the small Trade Hub No. 11827!”

“Alright, order the entire fleet to give pursuit immediately!”

“Yes!”

Three minutes later, everyone in the flagship’s bridge was dumbfounded.

“Commander Barbarot, the Warp Engine cannot be started!”

Hearing the Officer’s shout, Barbarot was stunned.

Did the Warp Engine just randomly break at this juncture?

However, when Barbarot glanced out the porthole, he was even more shocked.

It was the entire fleet that had not warped. Could it be that all of their warship’s Warp Engines broke at the same time? Bullsh¡t!

At this moment, his Adjutant anxiously trotted over.

“Commander Barbarot, all of the warships reported that their Warp Engine could not be started!”

“How the f_ck is this possible? You’re telling me that all 900,000 warships’ Warp Engines failed at the same time? Use your brain and tell me, is this possible?”

“Commander Barbarot, I also know that this is impossible, but all of the warships reported this!”

The Adjutant was feeling aggrieved. They were simply relaying the news…

“Immediately ask the technician to go to the Warp Engine compartment to check. Quickly find out the reason for this!”

“Yes!”

Soon, an hour had passed…

Then three hours had passed…

Finally, a day…

On the third day, Barbarot received a message from the small Trade Hub No. 11827 that they had been raided by the “fleet of the Lehman Empire”!

Yet here they were, still trapped in the small Trading Hub No. 11917, unable to move.

This made Barbarot furious, to the point that he felt like he was about to explode. Alas, there was nothing he could do!

All of the technicians were trying to figure out the situation, but they couldn’t find where the problem was. No matter how they checked, the Warp Engines were all normal.

The technicians were going crazy!

In the end, Barbarot had no choice, but to report the matter to Emperor Babarea.

“You mean all of the Warp Engines are down?”

“Yes, Your Majesty Babarea. Although I don’t believe it’s possible, it’s really happening! The technicians have been studying the matter for three days, but there is still no solution!”

Barbarot reported respectfully.

Listening to Barbarot’s report, Babarea suddenly remembered something.

“Could it be a Warp Blocking Device!?”

“Warp Blocking Device?”

Listening to Babarea’s words, Barbarot was confused. What the hell was this Warp Blocking Device?

“It’s normal that you don’t know. This is a technology only available in Level 5 Civilizations. It can interfere with the Warp Engine in a wide area! This Lehman Empire comes from the Freedom Alliance, so it’s possible for them to obtain this kind of equipment!”

“Your Majesty, what should I do then?”

“The only way is to find this device and destroy it! The enemy must have released this device before leaving. The focus of your search should be in the area where the opponent left!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

After hanging up the call, Barbarot regained some vigor. Now that they knew the reason, it would be easier!

“Quick, immediately conduct a careful search of the area where the opposing fleet had retreated. Don’t let a single piece of gravel go unchecked!”

“Yes, Commander Barbarot!”
