Him and their stars

In terms of casualties per unit time, the battle of Nantianmen in the first three days was even more tragic than the three battles of Said.

Surrounding the most majestic Illuminator creation in the universe (second only to the Ring of Miracles), the surging energy turbidity intertwined into a hellish path in the void in front of the star gate. The extinction formed in an instant after the explosion was like a note that suddenly bloomed and then disappeared, forming a terrifying prelude on one side of the battlefield of Nantianmen.

In the first three days of the war, both sides inflicted considerable casualties on the other side, of course in absolute numbers rather than proportions. The fleet that the Empire could deploy at the beginning was not as good as the Outer Ring Fleet, and it was very likely that it would be blocked outside the Nantianmen by the Earthlings.

At this time, the Titan ship Vulcan Airan, which was protected by the crystal fragments of the Unity Fortress, played a decisive role here. He was always active in the most intense core of the battlefield, using his solid armor and shields to resist the artillery fire of the earthlings, and he used precise artillery fire to kill those high-powered turrets one by one.

The Titan ship is indeed the most expensive technological creation in the history of civilization - strictly speaking, the cost of this thing is actually more than the single-function Colossus - but at critical moments, he should actually play the role of MT.

As the youngest imperial marshal (except for members of the royal family), Marshal Farrell has always been known for his wisdom and military politics, but now he has shown his bravery.

This is actually reasonable. The Imperial Army is actually the most ardent military organization in the universe. Those who can become marshals in this group are definitely not the type of one-legged type.

After this long and protracted war, although the Imperial Army has been suffering a considerable degree of losses, it is also indeed expanding its "beachhead" in the Gibraltar galaxy bit by bit.

By the time the dense turrets surrounding the stargate were completely destroyed, the number of Imperial dreadnoughts entering the Gibraltar β system had reached 3, and the number of battlecruisers and aircraft carriers had reached 10.

On May 25, the third day of the war, the two sub-fortresses closest to the stargate were captured by the Imperial stormtroopers.

Before the war, these two sub-fortresses were actually the Empire's Stargate Research Institute. After the war, they were confiscated by Marshal Bonaparte and converted into small fortresses. He installed weapons and turret array terminals of the same size as the fortresses, and even installed hangars.

Their fall was a natural and inevitable tragedy in terms of tactics, but it was very symbolic in terms of strategy, meaning the complete loss of the South Heaven Gate.

As a result, the largest Illuminator creation in the hands of the Blue Star Community finally changed hands completely, and the transportation links between the Galaxy and the New World were completely cut off.

Even the communication was interrupted.

Before the Imperial Army took control of the South Gate of Heaven, they had already taken the trouble to destroy all the gravitational wave beacons on the other side of the star gate. Anyway, they have plenty of time and manpower in this galaxy to do this kind of cleaning work.

At this time, the situation in Xinyumen and Xinlushun was completely lost. Everyone can only wish Admiral Carter and his subordinates good luck.

Of course, this is when the existence of the Tower of Babel is not yet known to everyone.

In addition, even if the star gate is lost, it does not mean that the Gibraltar galaxy has been lost. After all, the Gibraltar Fortress is still firmly controlled by the earthlings, and the main force of the Outer Ring Fleet remains basically intact.

At this time, the Imperial Army finally changed its madness in the past few days and deployed troops in a stern manner, while maintaining pressure on the earth with artillery fire.

Of course, their warships have always been cruising outside the powerful fortress guns of the Gibraltar Fortress, and each of them is as cautious and slippery as if they are old wolves used to hunting.

Even if you use your knees to think, you know that when the Imperial Army has deployed enough troops in front of the star gate, it is time to launch a general attack on the Gibraltar Fortress.

The above is the battle situation in the Gibraltar galaxy.

Yu Lian sighed: "In fact, if the Imperial Army immediately bombards the entrance of the star gate with high-power fortress cannons when using the battering ram tactics, it is still possible to block the Imperial fleet outside the star gate. The Gibraltar Fortress was also built at a high cost. Before the expansion of the fortress, it was the only quasi-Sky Fortress in the community, but it did not play the expected effect."

"However, the straight-line distance between the Gibraltar Fortress and the South Heavenly Gate is about 1.5 astronomical Davids, which has exceeded the effective range of the fortress cannon." Feifei said.

"So, who said to put the fortress so far away?"

"During the construction, it was said not to be too close to the star gate, otherwise it would be affected by the gravity of hyperspace."

Yu Lian sneered.

Indeed, it is a miracle to cross a distance of more than two million light years by crossing the star gate. It is reasonable to doubt that there will be any strange hyperspace changes or other huge gravity fluctuations.

But the fact is that the stargate has been running for so long, and the gravity has always remained very stable, as calm as a clear pond. Whether it is a small cruise ship or a super-large transport ship of 100 million tons, it remains the same.

He said: "I heard that when it was first designed, the firing range of the fortress gun was affected and could not be aimed at the stargate."

Feifei nodded: "This is indeed the case. It is said that there are too many ships entering and leaving the Star Gate. Moreover, there are also Star Gate research institutions from various countries inside and outside the Star Gate. If you use fortress cannons against them, it will easily cause the surprise of friendly countries. of."

"Are you surprised?" Yu Lian felt that this word made him want to take a breath of entropy.

"Yes, the allies are surprised." Feifei continued to nod seriously.

Of course, after the war began, Marshal Bonaparte resisted the pressure from all parties and carried out certain renovations on the Gibraltar Fortress. He purchased extremely expensive mechanisms from the Alliance and converted two of the positron fortress cannons into Enter floating mode. When it's time to fight, the fortress cannon can be suspended on the outermost layer of fluid metal and fired, so that it can finally be fired in the direction of the star gate.

But even so, Marshal Bonaparte could not increase the range of the fortress's guns, let alone move the distance of the fortress.

"As you said, who was in charge of the site selection and construction of Gibraltar?"

"The chairman of the National Defense Commission at the time was Marshal Cook, one of the founding fathers of the country, but at that time the marshal was already seriously ill and unable to take care of matters. The real final say was Mao Yuanzuo, the then prime minister."

"Is this fate, so wonderful? Or are all gifts secretly priced?" Yu Lian sighed with emotion.

Feifei said something fair: "In fact, it is not easy to blame Mao Yuanzuo for this kind of thing. With the technical ability and financial resources of the community, it is impossible to build a fortress of this scale. Since it is technically stuck, it is The views of friendly countries must be considered.”

"If I remember correctly, the empire also provided some help when Gibraltar was built?"

"Yes, the main bearing splicing system was provided by the Alliance, but the fluid metal outer layer was built with the help of the Empire. Mr. Mao's ability to play both sides between the two major countries was very respected at the time."

"...This moment is exactly like that time!" Yu Lian continued to sigh.

However, one thing is that it is unexpected that Marshal Bonaparte can persist to this extent. Of course, after nearly two weeks of bad fighting, the main force of the fleet was still relatively intact, which was even more of a surprise.

However, anyone with some knowledge can see that no matter how hard we persist, it is already a matter of time before Gibraltar is lost. Then, the commander needs to make a choice whether to persist until the end or transfer to preserve the vitality.

However, considering that Brunhildt's fleet was approaching New Baghdad, the time left for Marshal Bonaparte to make a decision was already very limited.

"Do you need to urge Marshal Bonaparte a little?" Feifei asked.

"Are you treating the Marshal as my subordinate?" Yu Lian glanced at Feifei, and after pondering for a moment, he shook his head slightly: "We have had a frank exchange of opinions long ago, and we believe that each other can make the most appropriate decision. Choice. If you continue to urge, this tacit understanding will be broken."

Feifei looked at Yu Lian meaningfully: "You actually still have a side that cherishes feathers. Or are you actually not ready yet?"

"You can just say this is hypocritical. I agree." Yu Lian shrugged.

He felt astonishingly that the pride he had just had with his sword and the invincible force had disappeared as the situation in Nantianmen worsened.

"You know, I will never say that. Cherishing feathers is not a derogatory term, it means that you are not floating now." Feifei gave Yu Lian a warm hug: "As long as my fish doesn't If you are arrogant and lose your true heart, you will definitely be invincible."

Yu Lian was immediately relieved to a certain extent, but he still smiled and said: "In this situation, how can I still be arrogant? It's not really heartless."

Feifei shook her head and smiled: "It is the community that has worsened the situation, not the people on Earth, and certainly not you."

Does this count as unlocking the Riddler's attributes? Of course, maybe I no longer understand the riddle. Yu Lian laughed dumbly:

"Continue to move in the direction of Xin Shuntian. In addition, take those two videos, yes, they are the videos of us transforming the dragon's nest into a hangar, and transforming the top-level Knights Club into a bathhouse, and broadcast them to the whole universe. We must ensure that the empire can receive it." Yu Liandao.

Feifei licked the corners of her mouth, giggling and showing an evil smile: "This is also a husband (meow) eye (woo) in a sense, right? Fish, fish, you are really an evil person! "

In fact, if you insist on interpreting it in the most malicious way, this is no longer in front of your husband (meow) eyes (woo), but it is clearly the entire process of training (meow) being broadcast live to the entire universe.

However, I can assure the spirit of the universe that Yu Lian’s first consideration is really practical issues.

After all, the dragon ship is a special battleship exclusively used by the Astral Knights. It is said to be a battleship, but in fact it still has the characteristics of a cruise ship. After all, he is the master of the empire, so he can cultivate a garden on the dreadnought. The officer class, which accounts for 10% of the ship's officers and men, uses up more than 90% of the ship's living space.

Even if class attributes are put aside, this is very wasteful behavior and should be changed.

Of course, as I said before, changing the Dragon's Nest into a hangar was of course purely based on military considerations.

As for changing the luxury club that only senior officers can access into a large bathhouse that all officers and soldiers can access, they are also based on realistic considerations.

After all, according to the original internal facilities of the ship, the living space left for ordinary soldiers is too small, which is absolutely unacceptable to Yu Lian.

Put yourself in their shoes, who can refuse to have a big bathhouse to relax after a day of hard work? This will have a great positive effect on the morale of officers and soldiers on the whole ship.

In order to suit the taste, Yu Lian even converted a small number of combat robots into massage robots. After all, it was during the war, and it was really hard to find a master with outstanding skills who could turn over a hundred-pound man like a salted fish.

Of course, even the massage robot was well received by the soldiers.

So, in the second video, the style of the big bathroom was shown in great detail, especially a close-up shot of the big bath in the middle for at least one minute. Anyone who is not blind can see the imperial military emblem in the middle of the big bath - this bath was converted from the fountain of the senior officers' club, and it is of course normal to have a military emblem. This is also turning waste into treasure.

Coupled with a few shirtless men lying by the bathtub being hit by the barrel-shaped robots, the appeal of the picture is very good.

After all, the director of the video is the youngest and best director in history. Feifei told Yu Lian that even if it was used as an advertisement for a five-star bathing city, it would definitely not be shy.

As for whether the empire would interpret it as trampling on the dignity of the royal family, trampling on the glorious tradition of the Knights, letting the mud legs kick the emperor's face, etc.... We can only say that the person who casually breaks the defense is the inferior! Why not repent?

So, three days after the video was sent, Yu Lian received the latest report from Fuxi again: the Tuosen fleet had set off and was following the main force of the fleet moving to Shanhaiguan, but always maintaining a safe distance.

There is no way, if it is only the Tuosen fleet, it is no match for the main force of Yu's fleet. The following action is more like surveillance than pursuit. If Yu Lian was in command, he would have to make another comeback and kill hard.

However, the commander was Chief of Staff Mkawa after all, so there should be no more complications. Think about it carefully, after all, it is time for everyone to rest and reorganize. It is easy to overturn if there are any complications at this time. It is indeed necessary to choose a conservative approach.

Chief of Staff Mkawa, who is conservative and rigid but steady and simple, is more suitable to take over the entire army at this time.

Under his command, the fleet stayed in the D4 system for a period of time as originally planned, and completed the reunion with the third patrol fleet and the troops withdrawn from various places. They also took away more than 100 million tons of various military supplies, and then dismantled all the storage and mining equipment in the system, and then continued to move towards Shanhaiguan.

The Empire's Tosen Fleet did not seize this time to force it, and still maintained a very stable posture, as stable as an old hound that was dispatched for the last time.

At this time, there was really not much time left for the Empire to pursue. But in fact, apart from the Tosen Fleet, no other Imperial Army could perform this mission.

At this time, all the Imperial Fleets that had arrived at the Far Shore Star Region had already rushed towards the direction of Xinshuntian, that is, the direction of the Xunli, like a group of completely enraged bulls.

This of course also included the Kalman Fleet.

Of course, according to the current reconnaissance intelligence, the fleet that was performing the flagship duties was the Yutu battlecruiser, so it could also be called the "Sobek Fleet."
