Him and their stars

Now that the opponent's status has been determined, Giafel is not too anxious. On the one hand, he continues to surround the DL90 galaxy, and on the other hand, he begins to wait for the arrival of all fleets.

During this period, Nelhana asked again about the speculation about what Picard was trying to cover.

Giafel said: "Brigadier General Maytig's guess is at least 80% correct. In the past twenty days, he has been leading the Freedom Flag to escape. It can be seen from the route of action. It is obvious that he hopes to Can take this dreadnought and escape all the way back to Xinyumen."

Wovna shook her head and said: "This is impossible. The mass projection and gravitational residue of the dreadnought are too obvious, and the most advanced sensors can capture it across most of the galaxy. In the hinterland of the Dawn Star Territory, which extends in all directions, on the contrary There is some room to move, and once you enter the Dawn Channel and the New World Highway, you will have a clear view."

Olivia said: "That's right. Therefore, the act of gathering the defeated troops along the way under the banner of freedom is even more of a suicidal act. Although you are very courageous and responsible, it will only make you die faster."

Giafel said: "But even so, I thought he had no way to escape, and it would be at least a week later. The turning point was the battle of Unity Fortress."

"oh?"

"After the Battle of Unity Fortress, Yang Xiyi broadcast the battle report to the entire universe in clear code. We received the news on the sixth day after the war. Considering the distance and location, General Picard will only be faster. And his Freedom Flag and The remaining fleet of the community appeared around that time. Obviously, this was a tacit understanding between him and Yang Xiyi." After Giafel explained this, he added:

"Of course, this is just my guess. There is no evidence, just free will."

Even though he said that, it was obvious that everyone felt that this was most likely the truth.

"Then, since we spend so much time here, isn't it possible that we fell into a trap?" Nelhana said.

Giafel nodded and then shook his head: "However, in the Dawn Star Territory, the remaining fleet of the community is nothing more than the Yang Fleet, which has already ambushed our patrol detachment before. Is it necessary to abandon the enemy in front of us and go Do you want to fight guerrillas with them? That's just being led by the nose. War is nothing more than showing off tricks and paying blood for blood. Fortunately, our health bar is much longer, so we can always choose When to fight and where to fight.”

"...No wonder His Highness wants us to meet with her at the Unity Fortress before September." Nelhana said.

"She actually doesn't even care about the entire Dawn Star Territory."

"So, this is just hurting others." Olivia shook her head.

"But it's very useful, and the empire has always been like this before. When we fail, it's often when we can't use it to hurt people." Wovna said.

Giafel knows now. The mental structures of my best friends are far from stable.

In this way, at 12:45 on September 9, after countless pre-events, the fleets of the Imperial Army and the Blue Star Community finally had a capital ship battle in the Dawn Star Territory after a month. .

This time, the Imperial Army adopted a standard concave formation, making sure to completely keep the opponent in this galaxy.

However, even so, Giafel still behaved very steadily. He did not start attacking eagerly, but methodically mobilized the fleet to form a formation step by step.

As for when the battle started, it was already 15:30 that day.

In fact, the Community fleet, which was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, ship status, and physical strength, actually launched the attack first.

By the time the time came, Giafel was sure that what Brigadier General Maytig said was correct. The opponent has indeed reached his limit, and the reason why he can still open up a battle array in front of him is because of some kind of self-destructive fanaticism.

Even the beams of light that passed through the portholes on both sides of him were filled with a tragic atmosphere.

"Open fire." Giafel immediately ordered the entire army to start counterattack.

In an instant, hundreds of light beams penetrated the endless dark curtain of the starry sky like divine swords, and the bursting energy turned into fangs, biting the armor of the ship.

The beating light turned into a gorgeous flower cluster. And every burst of fire was equivalent to devouring hundreds of lives in an instant.

But in fact, such fierce shelling only lasted less than half an hour, and there was a very obvious tilt.

The shelling from the Community warships on the opposite side soon became sparse. That's because the Freedom Flag dreadnought, the backbone of the fleet, had its shields cut off quickly, its bow suffered heavy damage, and one-third of its main guns were suddenly lost.

Subsequently, the battle cruiser Yingzhao nearby also suffered heavy damage quickly. The engine lost power and was soon forced to break away from its own operating fleet. Then, a proton torpedo penetrated the thin shield. and broken armor.

The explosion and fire within the hull quickly caused the battle cruiser to lose all its functions as a space ship. During this period, the Imperial Army could strike at any time and completely destroy it, but this did not happen. The imperial fleet showed no interest in the prey and continued to accelerate in pursuit of the subsequent fleet.

The heavy cruisers following the flag of freedom were next to suffer disaster. They were like the loyal guards around the general, charging generously despite the hail of bullets and arrows, but died fearlessly but needlessly under the intensive artillery fire of the empire.

The fighter planes on the two Earth aircraft carriers were all wiped out by the overwhelming number of Imperial fighter planes. The next thing that was strangled to pieces was the mothership itself.

In the end, half of the Earth's battleships were sunk, and the other half were beaten to the point of losing power and unable to move. This was already the result of the Imperial Army's mercy.

Then, there was really only one lone dreadnought, the Liberty Flag.

It can also be seen from this point that in an era when the offense is weak and the defense is strong, the protection and survivability of this large capital ship are really more than an order of magnitude higher than that of ordinary ships.

However, even so, most of the Liberty Flag's hull is already riddled with holes, and the ship's speed has even dropped to the point where it is not as good as those bulky heavy cargo ships.

This is a beast that has been hardened, but it is also a beast that has been forced into a trap and can no longer move and hurt people.

However, she is still taking action.

"What Brigadier General Maytig said is correct. They chose the latter, and they were indeed using a deadly battle to cover something." Giafel made a firm judgment.

However, she then said: "One last time to persuade me to surrender."

The adjutant looked at the inconsistent commander's wife with confusion, but after a moment of hesitation, he quickly conveyed the order.

Of course, at this time, some people will inevitably feel that if they continue to give advice now that they have been rejected once, wouldn’t it seem too disgraceful for the empire? We are obviously the winners, so why should we please the losers?

There must be many people who have this idea, but they dare not raise objections. In fact, more people are attracted by Count Giaphire Lamut's martial ethics and martial arts. They all feel that this is the perfect example of the astral knight, and this is the future unification of the Galactic Empire. The panic of the universe.

Then, her clear voice came out through the communication.

"Information to General James Picard and his men of the Blue Star Community! You have been completely surrounded by our army and there is no way out. Continuing to resist will only waste the lives of soldiers. I will represent the Holy Galactic Empire's Dawn Star Theater Commander and Commander The Minister of the Privy Council, His Highness Brunhilt, King of Sulyuka, repays the brave soldiers of the community with lenient treatment. Once again, please put down your weapons immediately, close the gun doors, and stop the ship's power!"

In fact, the reason why Giafel did this was only based on her own inner order, but she didn't really think that the other party would surrender.

Therefore, when the monitor reported that there was a reaction from the Freedom Flag, the countess even felt a little surprised. However, she still ordered the communication to be connected.

Then, what appeared in the light curtain was Admiral Picard's leaden face, which clearly looked exhausted. The shiny head was still wrapped in a blood-stained bandage. This image is really not correct.

However, his eyes were still shining with vitality.

"What a pity! You are the only one here, Countess. If the person in front of me now was His Highness Brunhilt, King of Sulyuka, I might not even have the courage to speak now? That's fine! That's fine. ! A mediocre person like us should not be worthy of His Highness’s attention.”

He smiled self-deprecatingly, took the wine glass from the hands of the old chief of staff who was also wrapped in bandages and looked unusually pale, and raised his hand to Giafel.

"However, a mediocre person like me has really done a lot of things like abusing power for personal gain, corruption, specializing in management, collusion between officials and businessmen, and rejecting dissenters. It is really not worthy of a knight like you to personally To win over. Not to mention having no ability to serve that queen." He grinned and gave a stiff smile.

For some reason, Giafel always felt that the other person's smile was very forceful, as if just making this expression and saying these words had already used up all his strength and courage.

However, out of respect, she decided to still listen to what the other party wanted to say.

"Although we are incompetent, after all, we are the son of an old Terran boatman and a soldier of Marshal Li. Marshal Li told my father fifty years ago that he hoped that the country in the future would have no masters and servants. I am a tacky man. A mediocre person, he is not a good soldier, let alone a good student of Marshal Li, but he should be a good boss, and he is certainly not a good master of so and so. Do you understand what I mean?"

"You have colluded with government and businessmen for personal gain, how can you still be considered a good boss?" the old Chief of Staff Shao retorted, his face full of shock: "I have never seen such a shameless person."

"At least, at least I didn't drink the blood of the soldiers. The money earned from smuggling the fleet was shared with most of the brothers. Of course, I also made a lot of money myself..." Admiral Picard certainly knew that. His words were really unconvincing, and he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Hey, hey, hey! I'm already this old, why do I need to expose it? And you, old guy, have already done that! You're about to die, Are you really not going to act anymore? Are you really ready to degenerate into a mean old cunning guy?"

"You don't have to act until you're about to die. Otherwise, won't you have no chance in the future? Hahahahaha!"

"Ah hahahaha! What you said, old guy, is so right! So, respect our terrible community."

"Yes, a bad community, with pig-like greedy bosses, short-sighted citizens, and generals who are trying to undermine each other. Hahahahaha!"

"Stop talking, stop talking."

"But a terrible country without masters and servants."

"Yes, yes, that's what I want to hear from you! Chief of Staff, aren't you very good at talking?"
