Him and their stars

Yu Lian jumped off the dragon's back unscathed and walked out of the equally unscathed mecha. He turned around and patted the seriously injured beast behind him. The head, as big as a heavy tank, was standing close at hand, ready to swallow Yu Lian at any time.

However, Yu Lian patted the dragon's nose gently like a swaggering leader: "Very good, Xiaolong, I have seen your sacrifice. This is more courageous than most of your kind."

The injured star dragon let Yu Lian stroke his chin with sharp barbs, snorted a trace of spiritual turbid air from the organ similar to the nasal cavity, and then lay down directly on the soft grass on the ground, and never wanted to move again, just like a cat with a hollowed-out body.

Of course, this is actually a titanium dragon, and it is also the one among the eight star dragon species that is closest to the "dragon" that Yu Lian knows, which makes Yu Lian feel very familiar. Considering that the race Furus that had been released back to the Abyss Nebula was also a titanium dragon, this sense of familiarity was naturally doubled.

Compared to the faster, more courageous, and fire-breathing and head-smashing asteroids of the Flame Winged Dragon, the titanium dragon's personality is indeed more Buddhist, and its aggressiveness seems to be slightly insufficient, but its defense and recovery are excellent. By secular standards, it is almost "immortal".

Now, Yu Lian can see that the wound on the side of the titanium dragon is now only a shallow dent. Even the scales with a metallic halo have grown out, but the texture seems to be a little lacking.

This is of course closely related to the "touch of life" that he had just slapped on the dragon's back, but it is also due to the healing ability of this magical space creature itself.

However, it should be noted that just during the battle, an ion beam whizzed out from the side gun of the battlecruiser, but it did hit the dragon's body, and even almost dug out its side muscles.

Adult titanium dragons can indeed open their shields, and Yu Lian can help the mount grow the shields stronger, but even so, it is still the cannon of the main battleship.

Even if the energy of the ion beam was neutralized by the shield, it still left a tragic wound on the body of the titanium dragon. At that time, Yu Lian could even feel his despair, so he shot a touch of life on the spot and immediately retreated with the poor wounded dragon.

However, when this fantasy beast, which seemed to have only blood skin left, returned to the ship and returned to his comfortable and warm meadow bed, the painful emotions were swept away, and he no longer felt the slightest tension, as if as long as he returned to his comfort zone, he would own the entire universe.

Yu Lian felt that this kind of mount was quite suitable for his temperament: "Very good, although I always feel that you are a little bit inferior to Cypherus, but such a simple and strong dragon is also a good first dragon. I will name you Shanzi."

The titanium dragon spread its entire body on the soft grass, and squinted at Yu Lian with its vertical pupils that seemed to be smelted gold, still full of divine majesty and arrogance. However, this is only from the perspective of a mortal. In fact, Yu Lian could only see clear stupidity, and even a dull feeling of not worrying about anything.

"Yes, compared to your fellow tribesmen, you are indeed the most obedient child. From now on, I will call you Shanzi. This name is particularly suitable for you who are simple and strong. You should also be the first among the four friends to have a name. Are you happy?"

The titanium dragon's vertical pupils full of divine brilliance still exuded a clear dull feeling, and the thick eyelids that seemed like armor slowly closed.

He actually wanted to tell this terrible new master that although they were all called "dragons", he and the other three were not of the same race, but this was actually not important.

As a wise fantasy beast, he had foreseen that his life would be very hard in the future, so of course he had to hurry up to get himself into a low-carbon and environmentally friendly state.

So, the titanium dragon exhaled a heavy breath again and fell into a sleeping state in half a second.

"Very good, when you can fight, you can advance without retreating, and when you can sleep, this is indeed the best state." Yu Lian smiled.

The Sumi man in uniform standing not far away seemed to have a constipated expression. When he realized that Yu Lian's sight had moved over, he quickly lowered his head in fear.

He is the person in charge of this dragon's nest and the chief breeder of this titanium dragon. When Feifei successfully boarded the Pilgrimage, he was the type who was very sensible and professional, and finally saved his life. Now, under the supervision of the community marines, he is still doing the same job.

"Sergeant, isn't this frequency of attack too frequent?" Yu Lian asked the other party. Although this Letalin is a breeder, he is also a first-class technical sergeant of the Imperial Army. The Empire actually still respects this kind of alien race with professional skills, at least the treatment and nominal status are not lacking. Of course, this also shows that sometimes a person's status does not lie in the nature of the work, but in your position.

Even if you are doing a servant job, it depends on what you are serving.

The Letalin man considered his words. "This... Your Excellency, in the battle of the dragon knight, the dragon is only an auxiliary after all, and the knight is the core. Your will will be transformed into the power of the dragon, there is no doubt about it."

It was obvious that the breeder had received very high-level court etiquette training, and he spoke in high-sounding words. However, after a brief hesitation, he added: "But they are actually proud and intelligent creatures. The rider is not their master, but their partner."

Yu Lian asked with interest: "Then, dragons will not have any stress response to their riders, no, their partners suddenly changing people?"

"Dragons are actually based on a special range between intelligent creatures and wild animals, General." The breeder nodded deeply and changed his words on the spot: "They are certainly proud and powerful species, but they also follow the instincts of creatures. It is precisely because they are smart that they are smarter than those of us who claim to be intelligent creatures."

Yes, when their teeth are slapped off, they must be more loyal than cattle and horses. The Letalin people thought.

"Oh?" Yu Lian glanced at him with interest.

"Yes, sir, dragons are actually most willing to be dogs for real heroes. They don't want to be wild dogs running around without knowing who their masters are." The Letalin people bent their waists almost ninety degrees.

The average height of this race is actually more than two meters, not counting the horns on their heads, but with such a bow, they suddenly appear to be much shorter than Yu Lian.

"Then I'm relieved." Yu Lian smiled, and when he wanted to leave, he added: "By the way, you and your subordinates have died in the battle. This can be seen in the official battle report later."

The Letalin people were slightly startled, and then showed a look of gratitude.

Yu Lian was wearing a close-fitting anti-drought suit. As soon as he walked out of the Dragon's Nest gate, Feifei, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came to greet him.

"We have analyzed the tactics of the Imperial Army. They have decided to use the denial effect of high-powered naval guns. If not, you can at least get closer by 10,000 kilometers, and the damage to the Golden Skull will be more effective."

"After all, it is the Imperial Army. You can't expect to always get the upper hand with just one move." Yu Lian nodded and said, "As long as it can achieve the effect we want, it's enough."

"Of course it will work. Congratulations, after this operation, the Imperial Army will definitely dispatch at least three or more dreadnoughts to chase and intercept our second-hand boat." Feifei took out the star map and placed colored icons representing the fleet on it: "This is the regular report just received on the Fuxi. The Tuosen Fleet and the Karaman Fleet have already reunited and left the corridor 12 hours ago. However, when receiving the regular report, they are still stranded in the General Lu Galaxy."

The monitoring personnel at the reconnaissance station in the General Lu Galaxy have naturally been taken away by the 3rd Patrol Fleet, but the deep space probe is still operating automatically and is still sending messages to the headquarters at a frequency of once every four hours.

Of course, this is also likely to be the last report sent by these loyal machines.

Yu Lian pondered for a moment and immediately understood the Imperial Army's current hesitation: it was nothing more than having received the situation of the I Earl Star Gorge, and was caught in a dilemma on the spot.

If they wanted to speed up the pursuit and intercept the main force of the Yu Fleet, it would be in time to set off at this time, but it would inevitably be a fierce battle. Of course, if the two Imperial fleets showed due decisiveness and bravery, they should have held the main force of the Earth Fleet tightly until the friendly forces from the other side of the I Earl Star Gorge arrived to support.

If it was the Imperial Army in a normal state, they should be able to do this.

But if they really did this, the Revelation and Yu Lian could completely retreat safely. From then on, the beautiful starry sky could only be left to him to roam freely.

Again, if the dragon ship inlaid with the imperial royal emblem was really brought to Earth, it would be more shameful than losing a Titan.

When that time comes, all the high-ranking officers of the Imperial Army on the side of Said, from the Imperial Marshal and the Grand Elect to the ordinary squadron commanders and the captains of the battleships, who were obviously the heroes who conquered Said, will now become the shame of the Empire.

However, this should not be a problem.

After all, it is just a mere ship. Wouldn't it be enough to allocate 20 to 30 high-speed warships in good condition, including two or three aircraft carriers and battlecruisers, to fight against a mere enemy ship?

Back then, during the Age of Discovery, when the Empire surrounded and suppressed the then-greatest pirate in the universe, Luffy Sparrow, the Purple Beard, and his Pearl Merry, it only used such a small force.

Yes. This should not be a problem. If there was no "dragon who cannot even be named" on that ship.

Yu Lian did not know yet that his nickname had been upgraded a lot on the Empire side. However, he also knew that because of his existence, the importance of a ship was comparable to that of an entire fleet, which was the source of all the hesitation of the empire.

"Chief of Staff Mkawa felt that the Imperial Army was indeed hesitant now. Of course, the possibility that they set a trap cannot be ruled out." Feifei said.

"The Chief of Staff is a rigorous person. He could have completely ignored the latter sentence. Such hesitation is not like the style of the Imperial Army. They still claim to be the most powerful military group in the universe and the proudest conqueror? It's a bit unspirited." Yu Lian's face was a little disgusted.

"Wolves will certainly be rampant on the grassland, but once they reach a certain size, they will have to retreat even if they encounter a lion. However, when a giant dragon flaps its wings and crosses the sky, they will be more panicked than mice. Okay, fish, now you can start to be proud." Feifei smiled.

Although it is still the same sentence "My wife's beauty is mine", Yu Lian still decided to be proud for half a minute.

The reason why Chief of Staff Mukawa expressed some doubts in the report is also related to his rigorous and rigid personality. Of course, this did not delay him from making the correct instructions immediately. The fleet immediately accelerated to the direction of the D3 galaxy in the border town, and left the enemy behind for more than 20 hours of voyage.

Anyway, at this time, it doesn't matter whether it is a trap or not. The strategic goal of the main force of the fleet arriving safely at Shanhaiguan is getting closer and closer.

"Then, we will follow the original plan and move in the direction of Xinshuntian with great fanfare. Make a move to reach Nantianmen directly."

Fei Fei nodded and accepted the order, then raised three fingers seriously: "Also, the third one."

"So what is it? Why can it be numbered?"

Fei Fei explained seriously: "Just when you were chopping the boat with a knife, Fuxi forwarded another order from the National Defense Committee. The attitude and wording are more resolute. Do you want to listen?"

"The Earth has not been able to contact us directly yet?" Yu Lian exhaled. He now feels that the efficiency of the actions of the dignitaries has really refreshed his cognition again.

"Perhaps it is because they also know that their attitude is not very friendly, so they don't want to hear your refusal in person." Fei Fei spread her hands: "Also, the recent newspapers on Earth have already given you the suffix 'Admiral'."

In other words, even if he really ignored the orders from the Earth, he is still a legitimate admiral of the community, is that what he means? Isn't this admiral's rank the price that the nobles offered for him to return to rescue?

Yu Lian suddenly realized that the masters on Earth are sometimes really pathetic.

"What is the situation on the mainland?"

"Brin's fleet has approached the New Baghdad system. At the latest in three days, it will definitely encounter the main force of the mainland fleet."

Feifei always called "Brin" at this time, which made Yu Lian feel annoyed, but Yu Lian said that he had to be emotionally stable, and he didn't understand.

"Then the current strength of the mainland fleet... Hey, where is the main force of the mainland fleet now?" Yu Lian shook his head slightly. Now, the only thing that can stop Brunhilde may be the physical distance.

It is conceivable how much suffering the Earth side will have now. They must want to pin their hopes on their own strategic clusters that still have combat effectiveness.

In addition to Yu's fleet, there is probably only the outer ring fleet of Nantianmen.

Feifei reported: "In the direction of Nantianmen, we are still in a stalemate with Marshal Farrell's Imperial Fleet. The battle situation... is actually not as intense as the first week."

"That's a bad battle, this is the most torturous state." Yu Lian said.

Feifei nodded with a heavy face.

In fact, when the huge carapace was lying on one side of Nantianmen, the Outer Ring Fleet had already lost the opportunity to completely drive the Imperial Fleet out of Nantianmen.
