the simulator field they could see the shapes, drawn in holographic light, of three starships from the human fleet.Each would have twelve fighters. The enemy, obviously aware of the human presence, had formed a globe with asingle ship at the center. Ender was not fooled -- it would not be a queen ship. The buggers outnumbered Ender'sfighter force by two to one, but they were also grouped much closer together than they should have been -- Dr.Device would be able to do much more damage than the enemy expected.Ender selected one starship, made it blink in the simulator field, and spoke into the microphone. "Alai, this isyours; assign Petra and Vlad to the fighters as you wish." He assigned the other two starships with their fighterforces, except for one fighter from each starship that he reserved for Bean. "Slip the wall and get below them,Bean, unless they start chasing you -- then run back to the reserves for safety. Otherwise, get in a place where Ican call on you for quick results. Alai, form your force into a compact assault at one point in their globe. Don'tfire until I tell you. This is maneuver only.""This one's easy, Ender," Alai said."It's easy, so why not be careful? I'd like to do this without the loss of a single ship."Ender grouped his reserves in two forces that shadowed Aiai at a safe distance; Bean was already off thesimulator, though Ender occasionally flipped to Bean's point of view to keep track of where he was.It was Alai, however, who played the delicate game with the enemy. He was in a bullet-shaped formation, andprobed the enemy globe. Wherever he came near, the bugger ships pulled back, as if to draw him in toward theship in the center, Alai skimmed to the side; thc bugger ships kept up with him, withdrawing wherever he wasclose, returning to the sphere pattern when he had passed.Feint, withdraw, skim the globe to another point, withdraw again, feint again; and then Ender said "Go on in,Alai."His bullet started in, while he said to Ender, "You know they'll just let me through and surround me and eat mealive.""Just ignore that ship in the middle."第 292 页 共 340 页http://www.en8848.com.cn/ 原 版 英 语 阅 读 网
