Him and their stars

Defending the newly built No. 2 Fortress are members of the Earth Marine Corps' "Tiger Division" and soldiers from the Rumina Chapter. They have turned this fortress into a flesh-and-blood millstone.

The fortress marine commander is Major General Zuo Wanhu, who is 42 years old this year. This is a typical warrior with a thick build, solid muscles, and powerful Kongwu. He once served as the brigade commander of the Second Brigade of the Huben Division.

However, after experiencing military exploits with the Fuxi, he also wore a second general star, but was not transferred back to Earth. Instead, he served as the deputy commander of the fortress defense in the Said theater.

This is a real fierce general. He is obviously a pure human being and not a psyker. However, in frontal combat, he wears a mecha and wields two heavy carbon crystal battle axes, and he can always explode. A kind of spirit that can make even psychics tremble in fear, a spirit that is invincible and capable of defeating thousands of troops.

"Commander Zuo, I think that if there is any so-called mortal who can suppress psykers in frontal combat, it must be you! Your name sounds like you can beat cows, demons, and snakes with fists and iron. " Yu Lian once praised General Zuo Wanhu like this.

Although this was a joke, it did make General Zuo Wanhu very happy, but he was not ready to actually rush forward and fight the Astral Knights hand-to-hand.

In fact, as a traditional East Asian, he is also highly educated and has read several Chunqiu books. Although he is tall and has rough features, he still has a somewhat elegant temperament when he is not fighting.

Generally speaking, this kind of general may be a type who is both civil and military.

Therefore, when the landing Imperial soldiers just boarded the fortress, they suddenly discovered that this fortress did not look like a serious space station at all. All the passages inside are twists and turns and filled with unstable energy particles and neurotoxins, as if they are mazes designed by antisocial tendencies.

In this way, every time they take a step forward, they are walking on thin ice, facing an abyss, sitting on pins and needles, and having a light on their backs.

The first batch of attacks came from inhuman troops. Those spider-sized robots would emerge from any possible opening to harass their march.

Of course, it is difficult for a robot of this size to carry any heavy weapons. Apart from self-destructing on the spot, it cannot cause much direct damage, but it can always get under the bellies of fire support vehicles using hydraulic power and destroy their stability. devices and circuits. They even sneaked behind the soldiers' mechas and directly destroyed their life-support equipment during the chaos.

No one wants to suddenly lose the fresh air from the mask in a passage filled with toxins and explosive particles. Even if the air conditioner is broken, it is unbearable.

The direct casualties caused by this approach were indeed few, but the chaos that followed was imaginable.

And at this time, the defenders would swoop in from the secret door, dragging the imperial soldiers trapped in the mud into an even more chaotic mess.

The heraldry machine is okay. The terrifying robot created from the gray fog machine reverse research cannot directly destroy the occult unit of alchemical creation. However, in the confusing situation, some astral knights who have never experienced such a bad battle It is inevitable that you will be in a hurry. So, in the melee, a sparkling astral knight was focused on by the portable AK plasma cannon of the Lumina warriors, and was approached by several consecutive ion salt bombs. In the end, he was unable to move, and was hit by counter-alchemy bullets. Knocked off the mask.

The hapless psyker kept fighting for several minutes even as his head and face were exposed to an environment that would be completely lethal to carbon-based creatures.

Then, half of his face was shattered by General Zuo Wanhu's blaster at close range, and his head was immediately chopped off by the latter with a carbon battle axe.

"...Well, to round things off, I can count as killing the psyker, right?" Zuo Wanhu thought as he looked at the rolling head of the Astral Knight, and then he was even more full of admiration for his commander.

Of course, when he withdrew, he naturally won the respect of his subordinates. Several rookie psychics who came from the mainland to support him looked at Major General Zuo Wanhu with admiration in their eyes.

Subsequently, the news that the fortress was not going well was transmitted to the Regent Queen.

"It's not surprising. People on earth always come up with all kinds of fantastic ideas on these exquisite small combat equipment. The same is true for light wings, and the same is true for robots. However, this refreshes my thinking. The so-called technical equipment , You can't always work hard on hard kills," King Shazamen thought thoughtfully.

He was a smart man, and of course he immediately understood that what really played a decisive role was not the sneak attack by the defenders, but the early harassment of the robots on the narrow battlefield.

Then he expressed admiration again: "The Tirero people are human beings, and the people on Earth are also human beings. Such an intelligent and heroic race is our compatriots, and they are also the eldest sons of the Enlightened Ones! Shouldn't they be in the imperial power of the empire? Let's work together to create a great cause of conquering the endless galaxy? This is the battle to safeguard the integrity and honor of mankind."

Academic high-ranking generals are very fond of value. Regarding this issue, the adjutant was relatively calm and explained the maze design of the fortress.

"This is not in line with engineering principles." King Shah muttered: "Whether it is a military or civilian space station, internal traffic must be ensured to ensure smooth operation in order to ensure basic operating efficiency. Even the fortress of the empire will only have outer space. The defensive zone has this kind of labyrinth design.”

"Yes. So the technical department at the front suspected that when the earthlings were renovating this fortress, they added a large number of secret doors and built them with ship armor. When our army attacks, as long as the secret doors are closed, a maze structure can be formed. Their renovation projects were all completed this year, and they also guessed our attack route."

"This is indeed a method, but it will also trap themselves in the fortress. Are they not going to evacuate?" King Sha said.

"Perhaps, they originally..."

"Hehe, I understand what you mean. Since they are such brave and loyal soldiers, they should have the ending they deserve." King Sha sighed: "Let Lieutenant General Leermin continue the siege, but don't force the fortress to be captured immediately."

He pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Who is the defender of this fortress? Whose general is it?"

"The defense commander is Major General Zuo Wanhu, a former Marine Corps officer."

"It sounds like a warrior." King Sha showed an expression of cherishing talents: "Let Lylemin take my token to persuade him to surrender, and tell him that I guarantee him at least a lifetime sword-bearing baron title, at least three generations of noble honors, and a family citizen class."

"The deputy commander is a Lumina man, and his name seems to be Babacao..."

"Oh, try to kill him if you can." The elector continued to arrange the follow-up deployment lightly: "The rest of the fleet, bypass this group of fortresses, and continue to maneuver towards the No. 3 gravity well."

King Shazamen always maintained a clear mind and calm judgment. He knew what his strategic goal was.

"...This will take us at least two hours longer. Intelligence shows that the enemy is equipped with at least ten Dragon Breath Gauss cannons on Fortress No. 4, which was completed in March. If we want to block Gravity Well No. 3 from this position and cut off the retreat of the Earth Fleet, we will inevitably be bombarded by these giant cannons."

In other words, Fortress No. 2 can be surrounded without attacking, but Fortress No. 4 must be knocked down.

But the problem is that in order to break through the defense line along the way, King Shazamen's fleet has already mobilized a large number of land forces. Obviously, he has an absolute advantage in manpower, but he actually feels stretched.

There is no way, academic generals always like to waste when using troops.

"It's a watertight defense. Is there anything in the world that he can't do?" King Sha admired again: "If such a great man does not belong to the royal family of Dawn, then the universe must be wrong."

King Shazamen seemed to have forgotten that the real commander of the front line was actually Admiral Sylvester, and of course the latter was responsible for the galaxy.

"How is the Yongjin?" King Sha asked again.

On the battlefield two astronomical units away from here, Yu Lian and his mount have been very handy. In the charge route of just a few minutes, he has felt the pleasure of chopping ships with his body three times.

Of course, the feeling of cutting the warship with the atomic light spear was too smooth. There was really no so-called touch, but Yu Lian still used idealism to make himself feel a refreshing sense of attack.

There was no way. Human beings, as degenerate creatures, always liked to jump between materialism and idealism once they had a little status and power.

After Yu Lian successfully "cut off" two cruisers of the emperor with the light spear given to him by the emperor, and shot down a row of brave intercepting fighters with the fierce spirit storm, the fire interception network in front of him suddenly became dense. This was naturally because he had entered the medium-range interception network of the Tirero people's brave advance.

At this time, he had to put away the atomic light spear and let himself enter the protection of the space bubble. In the space bubble, there was a misalignment between the inside and outside of the material world. Even with his own ability, he could not interfere with the outside world in a material sense. However, in the spiritual realm, he could still capture countless anger, fanaticism, radicalism, pain and panic around him.

In Yu Lian's perception, the spirits of his comrades and enemies were like torches spreading across the space of consciousness.

The changing colors of the torches represented their will and emotions at the moment.

However, in the ocean of consciousness, there was no concept of space at all. Within the realm of consciousness that he could "see", those flames were within reach and could be extinguished at will.

Yu Lian had already seen a Black Annihilation-class battlecruiser, which was the closest imperial battleship to him, and was firing at his Fuxi.

His spiritual sense reached out. The breath of the silver dragon turned into a wide-area psychological storm, exploding within that range.

On the battlecruiser, the spirits of a large number of enemies were destroyed, including the captain and the main helmsman who were trying to command the battleship. Of course, the engine of this battleship was still turning, and the hull was also naturally running according to the existing rhythm, but it did not maneuver according to the overall rhythm of the entire fleet. Therefore, in relative space, the battlecruiser's movements were like eating too much moon candy, and it deviated from its original orbit.

By the time the battlecruiser fully recovered control, it had already scratched a shocking scar on the aircraft carrier closest to it.

The two large warships retreated to the outer circle of the fleet in a panic with the explosion belts and sparks of negative distance contact.

What a pity. However, it is indeed the elite Imperial Guard Fleet! Even if it was hit by a psychic storm, there are always determined warriors who grit their teeth and endure the severe pain, desperately sending their warships back on track. If it were those road specimens of the Solar System Fleet of the Ring of Miracles, I am afraid that the collision would be more rounded, right?

Yu Lian then felt that he was vaguely a little perverted. How antisocial must a person be to compare friendly forces and enemy forces like this?

However, after this little episode, the new Shenzhou 2 under his feet had reached its limit after all, and had to deviate from the original route, and by the way avoid a series of fierce artillery interceptions, and then turned around and flew back.

But at this time, the radar on the torpedo ship also issued a fierce and intensive warning sound.

That was the reaction when a small high-risk target entered the warning area.

Generally speaking, the torpedo ship will only react in this way when it is approached by more than four enemy aircraft.

"Sir, is there a small high-risk target approaching?" She reported loudly.

"I heard that the Empire has recently equipped a titanium blade fighter. Could it be this thing?" Yu Lian was still very curious about this fighter. This was not a weapon that appeared in another timeline.

"Haha, the battle is like this. I don't even know when I will return. Any enemy is very likely to appear. Maybe it will be an older style fighter." Annie said.

Don't do that. If it is equipped with the most advanced light wings and space bubble generators, the engine and energy controller are equipped with mystic units, and even the armor plates of the hull have undergone their own alchemical magic modification, it can be called the "high-X" among torpedo ships. It also killed the New Shenzhou 2 of the Star Colonizer. If it was really killed by an old-style fighter, wouldn't it be equivalent to B2 being shot down by Cai (meow) Guo (woo) Qing?

However, Annie added: "But this feeling is similar to what I felt when I was dealing with the Leviathan in Tianshu."

Yu Lian paused for a moment and smiled calmly: "You really started to believe in your feelings."

"I believe everything. Will this awaken my psychic power?" Annie smiled: "Of course, I'm not that eye-catching guy. I don't have any obsession with psychic power. I just want to discuss the technical issues here."

"Who knows? If I knew the exact law of the generation of extraordinary people, the empire on the other side would have to give me a national teacher." Yu Lian smiled.

"If you like, you can also have a grand duke. Maybe one day you will become a co-emperor."

Yu Lian just calmly ordered: "Very good, break through and return."

"..." Annie behind the headset paused briefly, but this genius pilot from the Flying Tribe has never been a pretentious person.

"I understand. Then your words..."

Annie Romanova stopped talking. She clearly saw that Yu Lian had jumped off the back of the New Shenzhou 2 and fell directly into the space fortress that was constantly emitting dense firepower, as if the whole body was rhythmically pulsating with fierce flames. Colorful auras emanated from the back of the emblem fuselage, like wings covered with rosy clouds.

Those were wings of light that were far more gorgeous than the wings of her own torpedo ship.

She felt like she was seeing a god charging towards hell.

"...I really can't do anything about you. You never forget to show off!" Lieutenant Colonel Romanova held the steering wheel and led the torpedo ship to dodge a series of ion beams again, turning around again and flying towards her own fleet.

Of course, she was also prepared to show off. There were two space bubble torpedoes in the cabin, and there were enemy ships on the way of retreat, all of which were the best test targets.
