Him and their stars

Feifei's doubts were not completely groundless.

After all, Yu Lian's cheap nephew was personally recruited by Brunhild, and he is still a retainer of the Suliuka royal family. And it is obvious that even if the former pirate king was not the leader of the operation to intercept the Pilgrimage, he must have played the main role of the guide.

Gong Ao even put all his connections in the underworld on the line, which was really a real performance.

Of course, Yu Lian couldn't help but think of that dream world line. He could master the geography of the Abyss Nebula through the history there, and Brunhild could do the same. Even if he didn't have a detailed understanding, it was enough for an ambush.

Well... Even if there was no dream world line that was hard to describe, the war had developed to this point after all, and everything was optional.

But what could he do? Since he had been forced into the Abyss Nebula by the surveillance network that the Empire had deployed in advance on the Cloud Tower Trail, of course he had to take a step into the Abyss Nebula.

Well, if the gamble fails, then you have to accept the reality. A true hero cannot give up on himself because of a little bit of inconvenience in reality.

Even qualified adults cannot do this, because you don’t even have the qualifications to give up on yourself.

“Now that things have come to this, let’s eat first... rest first. Navigator, is the jump channel still there?” Yu Lian gave a tactical order.

The Relic has a genuine navigator, who is not a psychic but an experienced old technical officer. If he is simply the administrator of the jump engine and the surveyor of space parameters, he has done a good job.

“It has collapsed.” He answered immediately.

“Then you can relax a little. Captain Nemo, you can arrange it.” Yu Lian continued to give tactical orders in Feifei’s sight.

No one dared to say that this order was wrong. After all, they just barely escaped from the enemy’s net and went through a dangerous jump comparable to a roller coaster. Everyone needs to stabilize their spirits and also check the status of the ship.

Since we are going to rest, we should consider a stable and safe standby environment as much as possible.

After the initial exploration, the lookout began to report: "It is confirmed that the galaxy has a stable gas giant planet with a mass of two-thirds of Mars."

In a galaxy in its twilight years, there is still such a stable planetary structure, which is already a miracle in astrophysics. Of course, the universe is so big that more miracles are acceptable.

Besides, if you really want to compare, the birth of those naturally habitable planets is also a miracle, right?

The captain nodded slightly and began to follow the steps: "Enter the middle ring planet orbit clockwise to avoid."

This is of course to avoid excessive cosmic radiation. As long as you hide on the back of a giant planet, you can make the huge volume a natural umbrella. In addition, if you can collect some supplies, it will be like winning the jackpot.

The supplies on the Tour are of course still far above the safety line, but this kind of thing is never too little.

Of course, no one can expect to get natural water or food from this kind of galaxy, but even if they can collect a little usable energy, it will be considered a successful collection.

An hour later, the Patrol entered the orbit of the giant planet painted yellow with purple stripes without any danger. The hull was of course affected by a little gravity, but it was completely within the controllable range. And the preliminary detection showed that there should be no star-eating monsters hidden inside this old planet, so it should be safe.

The cosmic radiation finally dropped to normal values. Although it is only the critical point of normal values, it is like a suspected patient with a fasting blood sugar of 6.0, who can still convince himself that he is a healthy person and can try to eat ice.

In addition, it cannot be ruled out that there are micro-rays here that have not been discovered by existing technology and databases, but at this point, everyone no longer cares about this little situation.

The Patrol finally got a short break. The crew began to take turns to eat and rest. The damage control department also put on engineering power armor and started external operations with the installation traction.

As for the dragons… they were a little commotion when they were besieged just now, but Feifei just called and said “whoa~~~” and they all calmed down.

After all, they didn’t get beaten this time, isn’t that a cause for celebration?

In addition, what is more worthy of universal celebration is that everyone actually found polar ice caps on the satellite that is suspected to have two-thirds the mass of Mars, and preliminary detection shows that there are no harmful substances.

Well, I won the jackpot. If it is on a normal route, this satellite can be regarded as a transformable planet, enough to get at least eight-digit letters from the Standard Shipping Association, and at least 100 citizen families in the Empire.

Of course, the soldiers can rest, but Yu Lian can’t. As a leader, he must choose a way out for everyone.

This is actually a good thing, at least he doesn’t have to pay public grain after being exhausted.

In front of everyone, Yu Lian opened the star map again, drew a circle on the possible galaxy at present, and moved his fingers on the border of the empire and the border of the nebula.

“Maybe we can enter from near Sarna.” He calculated.

"Is there a waterway there?" Feifei asked in confusion, and then nodded slightly: "Indeed, this possibility cannot be ruled out. Earl Salwen was also a border lord in the past."

This is hard to say. You must know that the Extreme Star Region is, after all, an imperial frontier to guard against the Galactic Looters. Almost all the princes here can be regarded as border lords. Even the soldiers under Zhe Chong Mansion here are the most fierce.

However, when it comes to Count Salvin, their ancestors actually started out as pirates and interstellar trade, and did not have much dealings with predators.

However, the huge secret laboratories and underground factories on the Sarna planet are really beyond the standards. Without stable smuggling channels, it is difficult to imagine that Count Salvin could bypass the empire's surveillance and establish all that.

What's more, he's a snakehead. No matter how loose and free the snake's structure is, there are still team-building activities after all. Earl Sa must have a channel that allows him to go abroad at any time.

Yu Lian explained it this way and was naturally recognized by everyone.

However, this time it was not Feifei and Captain Nemo who raised doubts, but Colonel Singer, who was completely obedient.

"Well, Your Excellency, actually...when the communication was restored just now, I briefly contacted my colleagues on Earth."

"Oh, the commission's headquarters didn't escape?" Annie smiled.

Ever since he learned that Colonel Singer was a member of the Communist Party of China, he had always been at the bottom of the command hierarchy's contempt chain, and was often criticized by his colleagues. Fortunately, as a veteran in intelligence work, his spirit has been tempered over time and his mood is as stable as a mountain, almost to the point of losing his temper. In response to Miss Romanova's ridicule, she just smiled innocently.

If he were not wearing a military uniform, this guy would look more like a well-trained Indian butler.

"Actually, we have already run away, all the way to New Chang'an. Now we are preparing to evacuate in the direction of Cantilever. We really have a plan to evacuate all the way to New China."

"You have really abandoned your superiors again." Anne said.

"Lieutenant Colonel, how can this be considered abandonment? After all, we are also an intelligence agency under the National Defense Commission. Now the leaders cannot directly carry out leadership work. Of course, those of us doing grassroots information work must also consider the way out. This You are also responsible for the country.”

"Well... I wish you good luck." In terms of eloquence, Anne was certainly no match for an intelligence agent. Apart from blessing her, she really didn't know how to answer the question.

Colonel Singer said: "Then we received news from the Cantilever. Vice Admiral Yeager Soback's fleet had passed through New Tennessee and entered the Cantilever sector. The Cantilever strike fleet tried to fight, but was completely wiped out. New Paris is resisting, but the most optimistic estimate is that it can only hold on for another 43 hours.”

There was a brief moment of silence.

Feifei looked at Yu Lian even more worriedly. Perhaps she was the only one present who knew that the Cantilever Strike Fleet was Yu Lian's late mother's old unit, and that New Paris was Yu Lian's "hometown" in a sense - although he only lived there for less than two years before he was 4 years old. Only years.

Fortunately, Yu Lian just sighed hastily.

The Cantilever Strike Fleet was a fleet built to prevent predators from entering the country, but after the Condemnation War, funding and resources had begun to tilt. After the war broke out, a large number of veterans and cutting-edge ships in the fleet were of course transferred to the far shore and incorporated into the Sede Group. The current fleet is just a skeleton. In terms of military strength, it may not be as good as the Solar System Fleet after the second reconstruction.

However, they resisted tenaciously after all.

As for New Paris, it was able to resist for more than a day without the fleet to cover low-Earth orbit, and it was able to leave its name in the history of space war.

So far, no inhabited planet in the community can last for more than 4 hours.

However, even Yu Lian would never dare to expect that planet to become another Yao Chi.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

"I hope that after the fall of New Paris, there will be no revenge from the empire." Someone said worriedly.

Feifei said: "This is unlikely. Lieutenant General Yeager Soback cannot do such a thing."

As she spoke, she looked at Yu Lian with comforting eyes. Rather than trusting Soback, she might be more confident that she believed in the "old enemy" recognized by Yu Lian.

Of course, her belief was not wrong. Yu Lian can no longer say what Soback's abilities are, but his character is actually trustworthy. The "good friend of the people of Earth" in the previous timeline is partly because he serves as a transportation captain for the volunteers, and partly because he really has no evil deeds.

If we exclude the minor shortcomings that are not worth mentioning, such as being a little worldly, a little indolent, a little foody and lazy, he can actually be regarded as a perfect knight model in all aspects.

If there were no position issues, Yu Lian would actually be quite happy to make such a fair-weather friend.

But there was no time now to ponder Sobek's example of chivalry, or to mourn the heroism of his comrades. The problem now is that once the Imperial fleet enters New Paris, it means that the waterway in the Cantilever Sector has been blocked.

Yu Lian's plan to go from the galactic center to the cantilever and then to the far shore back to New China went bankrupt again.

"Colonel Singer, try to get in touch with your colleagues again. I hope to get an update on the cantilever at any time. In addition, the position of the new Independence must be secured."

It was not just Yu Lian who was blocked. Of course, there was also the Independence, which escaped before the Imperial Army arrived on Earth. Considering the physical distance, they were affected more.

"I will do my best." Colonel Singer was flattered. To be honest, this was the first time that the commander gave him a direct order. Doesn't this mean that he is still very important?

"It's her style to be so watertight?" Feifei looked at Yu Lian.

She was almost certain that this transfer was also Brunhilde's work. Considering that Lieutenant General Jaeger Sobek was already a disciple of King Suliuka, this was not surprising.

Before Yu Lian could answer, Feifei said again: "Forget it, if you simply regard her as an aggressive and fierce general, wouldn't I be the naive person? People who play strategies are dirty, whether it's a ginger cat or a fox, they are all double-mouthed and whining monsters. The bad water in their bones can be used to make fusion warheads."

Yu Lian smiled bitterly in his heart.

Of course, the orange cat is a strategic person, and even the most outstanding military genius of this generation, a natural expert in military situation. However, in another timeline, she was indeed more like an invincible overlord in her youth, and she really showed her far-sighted strategic level after she was thirty years old.

...Well, it seems that the orange cat has also been strengthened. This can't be my fault, right?

"What should I do now?" Annie asked.

"In fact, there is another way, but you probably won't choose it unless it is a last resort." Feifei looked at Yu Lian with bright eyes and a calm expression.

Yu Lian nodded slightly.

Feifei was of course talking about the escape route that Lao Tan and the Helots rebels had waded through with their lives. Even the green-skinned spaceship made of ice can pass through it, not to mention the dignified dragon ship of the Pilgrimage.

The end of this escape route is the Sanqi Star Region and the Kingdom of Circe. Although the latter has been conquered by the Imperial Army, it is still essentially a "turbulent situation" of warlord separatism, which has room for maneuver. As long as you avoid the line from Chelo to Katun occupied by the main force of the Imperial Army, you can escape all the way to the vicinity of Feimo.

At that time, even if you are discovered by the Imperial Fleet of Feimo, it doesn't matter. The channel of the Spiral Cross Nebula is still very wide. As long as you fly directly to Canchuan and escape into the territory of the Alliance, everyone will be safe.

Yu Lian feels that he still has some popularity in the Alliance. Even if there is no such thing, the profiteers of the Alliance will definitely provide him with shelter for the sake of the dragon ship.

However, this will mean that he will be away from this war. This is definitely not what he wants.

Before Yu Lian made a decision, Feifei said: "Now that things have come to this, you should take the time to rest. Rest as much as possible when you can. I have a hunch that we are not out of danger yet."

Indeed, although the channel has collapsed, it does not mean that it will not open again. In this ever-changing starry sky, no one can guarantee this, including Yu Lian.

If the Remnant could hide in this galaxy, the Imperials could certainly do the same.

So, after the Remnant left the space channel, the captain ordered a large row of flashing mines to be dropped near the original airspace, and the triggering device and remote control device were installed.

Yu Lian said: "Captain, the whole ship will rest for four hours. During this period, if the collapsed gravity well is found to expand again, the mines will be activated immediately three minutes after the space channel is formed!"

Captain Nemo looked at the commander and smiled knowingly.

Their judgment was of course correct.

Just after three hours of rest, the detectors placed near the original gravity well immediately issued a report of space expansion.
