Him and their stars

Soback looked at the colleague behind the video, always feeling that the other person's distracted eyes and devastated expression were very suitable for appearing in a horror movie.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he shuddered involuntarily.

In comparison, Lieutenant General Midbech was relatively calm. Although he was shocked, his speech was still clear: "Martyred for his country? The Grand Trooper Werther has sunk?"

Grand Commander Werther is the flagship of Vice Admiral Klarman, a corona dreadnought. It's a bit old-fashioned, but the armor protection is quite strong, and it has also undergone advanced modifications this year, with a new engine and energy core. If we only talk about survivability, it should be better than the Flame Dragon level.

Major General Tuckers said nonchalantly: "...Big, the regimental trombone is pretty good."

"Then Karaman..."

"It's just that the bridge is gone."

Soback felt a little irritated. He felt that if His Highness Brunhilt were here, he would definitely order the major general to be shot and replaced with a normal person who could still speak.

Sure enough, even Lieutenant General Midbesh, a man of such discipline, couldn't help but roar: "What on earth is going on?"

At this time, Major General Tucker seemed to have finally recovered a little bit of his sanity, and said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, I really don't know how to answer you. We still haven't figured out what happened."

Even though Soback was particularly confident in his good temper, he couldn't help but want to get angry now. However, this was not the time to dwell on this situation. Soon someone reported it,

That was the announcement made by the forward reconnaissance ship: "The Earth Fleet has begun action!"

Thinking that they were protected by Earth fighter planes, the empire's reconnaissance ships certainly didn't dare to get close, but they finally hid at the edge of the galaxy and shivered to observe the opponent's general movements.

Now, they could clearly see that the Earth Fleet, which was stationed in a peaceful manner, began to move rapidly. Countless artificial lights flashed within their detection range, as if in the dark sky. Suddenly, countless fireflies fluttered their wings and began to fly in the cold wind.

In just two minutes, the status of the Earth Fleet changed from static to dynamic. It was as if the soldiers who had set up camp were singing and dancing around the campfire just a moment ago. The next second they rolled out of the tent and were already wearing armor. .

As a result, this scalp-numbing scene was transmitted to the Golden Skull and Royal Rabbit again.

Soback felt even more like this was a trap. He estimated that Lieutenant General Midbexi on the opposite side also thought so. At least he remained silent and didn't yell for everyone to take the initiative to attack.

After half a minute, the lieutenant general asked: "Major General Tuckers, do you need time to rectify?" His voice was very calm. In other words, it seemed too calm.

Major General Tuckers naturally nodded with a heavy face: "It will take at least two hours."

Compared with the face of a Honkai robot when he first appeared, he has finally regained a certain amount of consciousness now, and he finally looks more lively. But because of this, the panic on his face suddenly became more obvious.

"Very good, that's it." Lieutenant General Midbexi said.

Major General Tucker nodded and saluted, but before going offline, he hesitated and sent a document: "Sir, you need to read this. After reading it, you will understand that it is really not that our army is not working hard!"

This file was not small, and the transmission was affected by the interference environment on the far shore. It took a full hour to complete the transmission.

During this process, Lieutenant General Midbech not only did not mention the attack again, but also ordered the entire army to return to a defensive posture.

In just a few hours, the entire army will conduct two completely opposite full-scale fleet operations. If this were done in the Alliance, it would have caused a burst of complaints from the crew.

However, the people here are still the Imperial Army after all, and at least they can be proud of the Galaxy in terms of obedience.

Everyone worked silently, retracting the converted half-stretched arrows, and the entire fleet formation spread out towards the two wings, once again transforming into the watertight and irregular crane-wing state.

Naturally, the Royal Rabbit where Yeager Soback was located slowly formed the protrusion of the left wing of the entire army. Of course, at this time, he was no longer too lazy to worry about gains and losses because of this small situation.

He watched numbly as the entire army was reorganized, numbly listened to the conversations of various departments on the bridge, and numbly observed the movements of the Community fleet in the opposite galaxy. He felt a little tired for a while.

Of course, as a young man from a small town born in a colony, perhaps his greatest advantage is his surging vitality. A decadent mood cannot stay for too long.

After the transmission of the information from Karaman's fleet was completed, he quickly regained his energy and sat upright, staring at the outline that appeared on the screen.

It was still a dynamic video picture, but it was much higher definition than the instant message just now, but I don't know if there was any rendering done before Chuanzhai.

In the center of the screen, the figure wearing the blue coat of arms of the community stands on the back of an ancient flame pterosaur that looks like a giant firebird, overlooking the outside of the screen. The owner of the heraldry machine was wrapped in a slightly bulky mecha, covering his head and face, making his face completely unclear. But Soback just felt that he could feel the other person's eyes.

It's that person!

However, the man's eyes seemed calm and his posture was very comfortable. He stood in the starry sky, as if he was admiring the simulated galaxy, rather than hunting something with ferocity and hostility.

Well, that's exactly how that person should behave. If it is really murderous or domineering, it will suddenly look vulgar.

Miss Serlu reminded: "This is a reconnaissance image from the bridge equipment of Vice Admiral Klarman's flagship, the Grand Commander."

It turned out to be a video? Sobek suddenly understood. He quickly glanced at the dancing numbers in the lower right corner of the screen and determined that this scene should have occurred three hours ago.

Having said that, since it was being recorded, why could I feel the other person’s eyes and emotions?

Jaeger Soback shuddered.

He didn't think it was because he had made any progress in mysticism and perception, but he just felt that he was starting to have random thoughts again.

...Of course, it was more likely to be that person's method, but Soback felt that just thinking about it was terrifying, so he decided not to think in that direction.

While he was worrying about gains and losses, the man in the picture had raised his hand, and a golden energy blade bloomed. It expanded from a long "sword blade" into a huge light pillar, and then condensed from the rhythmic energy into a clear crystal form. At that moment, the figure of the man was no longer clearly visible, but only a huge gem that seemed to be made of fragments of the sun remained.

Sobek was so shocked that he was almost speechless. Of course he could recognize the spear technique that traveled across the galaxy, but he couldn't understand what it meant when fiery energy turned into static crystals.

Or in other words, is the image captured by the reconnaissance telescope of the Karaman fleet a real image?

But at this time, the gem that seemed to be made of sun fragments was already like a cannonball, rushing directly out of the side of the screen and rushing over menacingly. The clear crystal shimmered with bright light, blocking all other light sources.

This is the last scene of the picture.

Yeager Soback now knows why the Grand Commander's bridge is missing.

Speaking of which, this scene seems to have been staged during the "Conviction War". The Imperial Army even used this scene in a promotional video.

After all, the person involved used the "Long Night Meteor", which was really a spiritual martial skill using the Emperor's Qi. What's more, this kind of operation of using the atomic light spear as a gun thrower to blast out the naval gun effect is also in line with the aesthetics of the Tirello nobles.

But now, the person involved is still the same person, and the target of the attack has changed from predators to the empire. This is really embarrassing.

Sobek fell silent. He himself didn't know how long he had been silent. A new report came from the reconnaissance ship that had been on standby in the galaxy ahead: the new Earth fleet had arrived, jumping from the direction of Nebula Crossing No. 1.

Needless to say, this new fleet is the Athena formation.

Nebula Trail No. 1 is really not easy to walk. It took this group of Earth fleets another full hour to leave the gravity well. If during this process, the Galactic Empire suddenly launches a surprise attack, it may plunge the people on earth into complete chaos. If everything goes well, they should be able to win.

If that person was commanding the troops, he would definitely be so decisive, right? Statue of Sobek.

However, although he could think this way, it was almost impossible for him to do the same thing.

In this way, the remaining main force of the Yulian fleet, including 624 warships including the two Lord God-class dreadnoughts, completed the meeting in front of the Imperial Army.

"Their strength is twice that of ours again." Captain Peggese reminded Sobek.

"I know. And the number of single-wheel ships is actually two and a half times." Major General Soback said angrily.

At this time, Lieutenant General Midbexi also called. This fierce general brother who was thinking about attacking two hours ago has once again lost the high-spirited courage and domineering attitude just now.

"Brother Yeager, we can retreat one star system and wait for the friendly forces behind us."

Soback agreed. After all, he is a believer who puts safety first and deeply agrees with this approach. However, after struggling for a few seconds, he still hesitated and said: "If we retreat again, we really won't be able to explain to the marshal and His Highness King Sha."

Of course, Lieutenant General Midbexi also knew this truth, and his face flashed with distress and struggle.

"Relax, don't worry. Your Excellency, based on my understanding of that person. He is actually the type who just accepts the situation and won't kill them all."

"..." Lieutenant General Midbexi looked disbelieving, as if he had heard that dragons should eat dumplings instead of meat, and they were stuffed with leeks.

"Especially when the strength is insufficient. In fact, although they have reconciled, their strength is still insufficient." Soback said.

This is true. They had all witnessed the two-week-long forced march of the remaining fleet, as well as the Third Battle of Said that was specially launched before the march. They saw the other side's miraculous move in substituting offense for defense, saw the flames igniting on the Tirello Intrepid, and of course saw the fall of the Pilgrim.

From a common sense point of view, the people on Earth on the opposite side should have been exhausted long ago. Even if they complete the meeting, it is impossible to capture Midbexi's fleet so quickly.

What's more, there are reinforcements behind, and they will arrive in just three or four hours.

The prerequisite for each defeat is to be able to complete a crushing attack on a certain enemy within the time difference.

But, the above is all common sense.

"Brother Yeager, using common sense to predict the actions of the dragon is the most irrational approach." Vice Admiral Midbeshi said: "Until now, we still haven't figured out what happened to Karaman. Just thinking about this, don't you feel a chill in your back?"

"...I am still trembling now."

Vice Admiral Midbeshi was not sure whether the other party was joking, so he laughed dryly twice:

"But if Brother Yeager is right, I am willing to accept it."

Facts have proved that the opposite community fleet did not attack. They spent some time to reorganize, and then set off in a swagger, heading straight for the exit of the I Earl Star Gorge. From beginning to end, they didn't even look back at the Imperial Fleet here.

It was not until the Earthlings were completely gone that the Midbeshi Fleet trembled and entered the I Earl-4 system.

Even at this time, they were still worried that the Earthlings ahead would suddenly come back and kill them again, so they still set up a defensive formation, but only sent a light cruiser to take the Nebula Fork Road to find out what was going on.

They waited until the fleet led by Vice Admiral Laken arrived at the scene before they relaxed a little. Then, in the direction of the Nebula Fork Road, the Karaman fleet, which was said to have been beaten up, finally arrived slowly under the guidance of its own light cruiser - of course, considering that Vice Admiral Karaman had died in the battle, the official name of the formation had to be modified, but this was not the point.

The generals originally thought they would see such a miserable friendly army:

The fleet suffered heavy losses, and at least a quarter of the warships were missing. The warships that arrived at the scene were all injured, and some even had limbs missing. The alloy shell was twisted and deformed in the fierce battle, or scattered with burn marks. The deformed imperial army emblem was covered with scars and no longer had the majesty of the past.

Even ships that were cruising normally would suddenly emit some flames while moving, just like a group of wounded soldiers oozing blood.

Even those giant ships that could still barely move, those closed cabins that had to be sealed off and abandoned due to fierce fighting, might be filled with the remains of crew members, stormtroopers and combat robots.

They floated quietly in the vacuum compartments inside the warships, still holding their weapons tightly and maintaining their postures, just like a group of white blood cells that died on the job.

Vice Admiral Midbeshi originally thought that this was the case. But in fact, the state of the Karaman fleet was actually quite neat, and most of the warships were intact. At most, they were only slightly scratched by various unfriendly space radiation during the long cruise in narrow alleys.

However, these were all completely tolerable losses, and it was almost impossible to affect the cruise and combat capabilities of the ships.

Of course, obvious combat damage also existed.

For example, two Silver Knight-class battlecruisers had a shocking scar on their sides. If it weren't for the obvious burning and melting around them, it would have looked like it was scratched by the claws of some Leviathan beast in the void.

However, what kind of Leviathan beast would tear open the battlecruisers' solid shields and five layers of outer armor like tearing cardboard?

Then, in everyone's astonished eyes, Vice Admiral Karaman's flagship, the Grand Commander Witte's dreadnought, so clumsily sailed into the galaxy.

...What a pity, a Grand Commander without a head.
