Him and their stars

Facts have proved that there is indeed no shortage of warriors in the imperial army who would rather break than bend. When the Marquis de Bouise was finally destroyed, what she sent was not a distress signal, but something like "Long live the Empire", "Earth rats don't have martial ethics", "Your soy milk is in vain at the feet of the Empire" and the like Vulgar language.

As a result, this "sudden encounter" that took place near the terminal of the Dawn Passage and which will definitely appear to be particularly unethical in future history textbooks came to an end. It took a total of one hour and forty-seven minutes. The Imperial Silas Squadron went to destruction in a very frustrating way.

The battlecruiser Marquis de Bouys, its two heavy cruisers, three light cruisers and four destroyers were all completely destroyed. As for the remaining ships, being chased and intercepted by White Devil fighter jets and Beiweiqi, they found that they could not escape and were eventually forced to surrender.

Facts have also proved that not all the Imperial Army are warriors who are not afraid of life and death, but there are still many ordinary people who "can only get a thousand golden dragons a year, what are you doing with your life?"

Out of a humanitarian spirit, Eleanor rushed all the surrendered Imperial officers and soldiers to a half-disabled light cruiser, dismantled the weapons and jump engines, and left enough food, water, and weapons to last them for a month. energy.

"I don't have time to serve prisoners of war now. There are three Earth-like planets in this galaxy. The atmosphere of the third planet contains oxygen and there are ice caps at the poles. Just settle down there. I left you a gravitational wave communication device, which can Ask for help from the outside world at any time. Of course, if your army is too late to rescue, you might be able to start terraforming the planet. This is a grand project to expand the boundaries of civilization, just like the ancestors who did it in the early days of the Age of Discovery over the past two thousand years. Isn't this much more honorable than carrying out a sneak attack without any martial ethics?"

So, we should thank you, right? The leading Imperial Army colonel may have thought so, and was filled with grief and anger. Of course, because this man is an Angmans man with round features, big cheeks and velvet edges, he looks particularly funny no matter how sad and angry he is.

"Thank you for your mercy." The other party expressed his gratitude in this way, and then left sadly with the surrendered officers and soldiers.

If all goes well, this might be a cosmic version of "Robinson Crusoe" or "The Mysterious Island."

As for Eleanor and her friends, they carefully inspected the remaining ships, destroyed the severely damaged ships, took the remaining Thunder-class heavy cruiser that was still intact, and evacuated boldly. .

This cruiser is indeed in complete condition and can keep up with large forces for long-distance cruising. As long as the front cabin is slightly repaired, it will be a good ship that can fight for 800 rounds. More importantly, the Thunder-class is, to put it bluntly, the pre-production version of the Clear Sky-class ship "Aurora". Most marine consumables are universal.

In short, the size of the Thirteenth Fleet, which had finished this battle, had expanded even more. Even veterans like Marklov will inevitably be happy about this victory, not to mention young people such as Eleanor and Ina. However, this high mood did not last long and was soon replaced by worry.

"But I don't know what the situation is like at the Unity Fortress and the Circle of Miracles." Eleanor said.

"As for the Unity Fortress, with a smart guy like Yang Xiyi sitting in charge, the problem shouldn't be too big. As for the Ring of Miracles, the main force of our fleet has not been withdrawn, and its strength is three times that of the Empire in the Dawn Star Territory." Mark Although it was difficult for Love to buy and worry, as a well-informed old man, he felt that he should try his best to comfort the young people in the fleet.

However, having said this, the veteran himself felt a little confused: "It is true that in the Dawn Star Territory, we have a military advantage. Why did the Empire choose this time to launch an attack? Last time I heard Marshal Paris say that Congress They are already preparing for the opportunity to withdraw their troops. Why not wait until Commander Conneris leads the main force of the expedition fleet to return home, and then launch it all at once? "

Eleanor said: "This is what I am most worried about. The Imperial Privy Council and Suliuka King Brunhilt are by no means fools, especially the latter. Yuri... Yu Lian, and Yang The teacher has said more than once that King Suliuka is a natural god of war. Since she dares to launch an attack at this time, she must have absolute confidence, but I don’t know where her confidence comes from. The more unexpected it is , but the more I feel the chills running down my spine!”

The veteran immediately felt that this girl might be a little bit like a defeatist counselor. This is a very fresh experience. You know, Miss Eleanor Bonaparte was a proper war type in the past.

"This does not answer my question. Confidence and necessity are not the same thing." Marklov shook his head.

"Then this means that the empire does not want the expedition fleet to return home?" Eleanor thought.

Marklov thought this was logical, but he also began to feel a chill down his spine for no reason.

Ina also said: "There will be no peace in the mainland of the Milky Way. The outer ring fleet alone cannot stop the empire's all-out attack. Those dreadnoughts returning home are very important..."

Eleanor glanced at the other party and thought to herself, you are a mere elementary school scumbag, but you are actually starting to think about strategic issues? So, have you really broadened your horizons, or are you just simply worried about that guy?

Afterwards, everyone seriously discussed the fleet's next move. It was difficult to decide whether to rush to the Ring of Miracles through the Eye of Dawn galaxy, go south along the Dawn Channel to observe the situation of the Unity Fortress, or simply fight guerrillas in the Dawn Channel while waiting for the next news or order.

But no matter what, the fleet can't really stay put. As a result, the Thirteenth Fleet officially set sail after two hours of repairs. At 15:27 on August 7, it jumped out of the system, leaving only the wreckage of the warships on the ground and a Thurs. A trembling, half-broken Imperial cruiser.

"Sir, what should we do?" the survivors in the cruiser asked their representatives.

The Angmang colonel said angrily: "What else can we do? Land on the fourth planet. Everyone has self-defense weapons and tools, and all they can do is open up wasteland and farm. And don't forget, according to "Empire" "Pioneering Law". If we can really develop this planet, at least 10% of the land and minerals can be divided up for everyone. You can at least get the title of life-long noble. Are you a noble? "

"I'm not."

"Are you a noble?"

"Well, of course not the little one. But, sir, we are defeated!"

"Yes, the nobles of the Galactic Empire are full of martial virtue and can never accept the shame of defeat. Therefore, General Silas and the ship were sunk. So, the question comes back, are you a noble?"

"I'm not...why did I come back again. Okay, okay, sir, I understand."

"Yes yes, we all understand."

"I think this defeat is just an episode. Under the wise leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, sooner or later the Dawn Star Territory will belong to the Empire, and then this planet will be ours. My dear gentlemen, there is no end to the road. The people on earth also said that losing a horse is not necessarily a bad thing. Cheer up." The Angmang colonel, who seemed to be a cultured man, encouraged him.

As a result, the officers and soldiers on the ship felt that it made sense, and their morale finally recovered a little. After all, when people are in despair, they always have to believe in something in order to maintain their spirit.

They then drove the half-broken cruiser in the direction of the fourth planet. Probably because it bumped into something when the jump engine was removed, the ship ran very slowly, and it took more than five times the usual time to finally enter the low-Earth orbit of the earth-yellow planet.

Then, there was nothing more.

They heard the alarm of a high-energy response, but it was too late to do anything. Two ion beams fired from the side and rear melted through the side armor of the half-broken cruiser, and immediately formed a high-pressure ionization storm inside the hull.

The riddled cruiser completely fell apart. The crew inside the ship had been completely killed by the ionization storm before they died of loss of pressure.

These imperial soldiers never saw the face of the sneak attacker until they died. However, if they saw it, they might feel that they would never die in peace - if it wasn't the Nine Snakes pirate ship that they had been chasing for a whole month, who was it? This is actually the third-generation "Hydra", which was transformed from a third-hand alliance-produced Ariel Plateau-class cruiser. The condition of the ship's hull was also terrible, as if it might completely collapse at any time due to unknown cosmic radiation.

However, we all know that the so-called pirate ships, among other things, have always had very strong survivability and escape capabilities, and they naturally have excellent sneak attack capabilities.

On the Nine Snakes, the pirates cheered. They were chased by the combined fleets of the empire and the community with nowhere to go, and no way to enter the earth. Naturally, they all held back the evil fire, and now they have finally been released to a certain extent.

Of course, after all, there are people with clear minds. For example, First Officer Miss Fantine expressed doubts: "Why sink her? It is impossible for the people on earth to leave any heavy weapons to the empire. We can capture a complete new cruiser." With this arrangement, the fourth generation of the Nine Snakes will be available."

Captain Plank also had regrets on his face: "I just thought that the little ones were living a miserable life and always needed to fire a cannon to vent their anger. Who knew the Empire's ships were so fragile."

First Mate Fantine's face was immediately filled with visible contempt.

Captain Plank put away his regrets, held his head high and said: "Okay, I did it on purpose. We sacrificed so many brothers to finally get to this point. It's really hard to let go without a fight! Could it be that we have sacrificed so many brothers? Did i do something wrong?"

"No, you are not wrong at all! This is what I like to see the most." Tomitelli, the former Great Khan of the Predators, said loudly. She was the one who cheered the loudest just now.

She laughed loudly and patted Plank's shoulder so hard that she almost broke his shoulder: "Brother Planck, I told you that only satisfied emotions will always make you healthy. spirit! At this time, you just have to feel good! Oh hehehehe~~~~"

It seems that none of us are qualified to talk about "sound mind"! Haven't you noticed that your mental state has become increasingly unstable during this time?

The first mate Miss Fantine and the third leader of the pirate group, Father Tom, exchanged helpless looks. However, Ms. Tomitelli was their savior after all, and since one person could beat the rest of their ship, she naturally did not dare to express any dissatisfaction.

The queen of the Elor people was indeed their savior.

Three months ago, Snake Den had not yet fallen, but it was already in danger. The remnants of these evil parties were still hiding in a remote star system on the New World Highway. When discussing what to do next, they first encountered the fleet preparations of the empire's famous "Wolf of Dawn" Yeager Soback, and then They encountered the equally famous Thirteenth Fleet of the Community again.

Just when everyone was falling into despair, they encountered a swarm of ancient drones that were out of control.

After a period of melee, the good news is that both the empire and the community fleets have focused their attention on the drone swarm, and this gang of villains will not be wiped out in one fell swoop. Bad news, the drone destroyed the cargo ship Candide that everyone was on - unfortunately, this was the only "legal" cargo ship in the Nine Snakes pirate group.

If in an emergency, Tomitelli Khan directly uses a relic of the Enlightened One known as the "Space Refuge" to take away the core members on the ship, everyone will probably turn into cosmic ice one by one in frustration. Corpse.

They stayed in this inexplicable space gap for nearly a month, and finally waited for the rescue of the Nine Snakes pirate group and the Snake Organization companions before they were at the end of their rope.

Then, we got the news that the snake's lair had been captured, the whereabouts of the "future male" and the "present lady" were unknown, the former "past male" had fallen, and the new "past lady" was rising.

"The past is over, and the snake around the world needs to lie dormant, but it will still fulfill our sacred covenant. May the years bring luck to you all!" said the former "Magician" Miss and the current "Ms. Past".

"In addition, from now on, Captain Plank, you will officially become a member of Thirteen Sides, codenamed Black Snake. Well, it sounds like a feeling of tenacious vitality and indescribable changes. It's very stylish, right?"

"...can I quit?"

"Of course you can. The Snake of the World has always been about free will. You can join nature and then withdraw. However, if you really withdraw, you will greatly offend me."

"Yes, have I offended you?"

"Yes! Of course this is not an organization matter, but a personal grudge between you and me." The new "Ms. Past" said proudly, as if I am a beautiful girl and it is natural for me to be so stingy.

"Then, I'd better continue to stay in my post. After all, I have been promoted and am now a member of the Thirteenth Side of the organization. I should be happy, right? Hahahaha..."

"You should be happy. You can promote your confidants as executors, and you can also share the organization's core intelligence library and secret accounts. However, your next task is to cooperate with Tommy Terry Khan. When the time is right , 'Suihuo' and 'Lingyu' will come to meet you."

In this way, Planck, who became the "Black Snake", through the organization's contacts, extracted a cruiser from an unattended black market space station somewhere on the "New World Highway", and took in some of his original subordinates. The soldiers and horses became strong.

"So, Great Khan, what's the next step we need to take?"

Queen Tomitelli, whose mental structure has become increasingly unstable, let out a bright and even clear laugh: "Ahahaha, didn't I tell you last time? My dream of an empire has been destroyed. Broken. Humanity stands above the carcasses of our flesh and ideals, singing the praises of their prosperity. Isn’t that too cunning?”

"So, is it revenge?"
