Him and their stars

No one asked the question "Why can't we follow the enemy ship?" With the current aerospace methods, once the ship enters the gravity well and starts the transition, it can cross light years away in an instant, making it impossible to continue tracing. What's more, in this far shore nebula, whether there are gravity wells between galaxies, how many there are, what the opening time is, etc. are all difficult to estimate, and even more difficult to predict.

Fortunately, the ship can run, but the space station cannot. As long as the galaxy is there, the space station will be there.

All in all, everyone on the Corsica reached a consensus and reported it to Commodore Marklov on the Fog.

"I have said that the specific matters of the battle have been handed over to Colonel Bonaparte. Since you think it is feasible, I will naturally not object." Brigadier General Marklov pondered for a moment, but then said: "However, Captain Yu Lian , the enemy's space station is at an unknown location in the nebula, and the only thing you can rely on is the star map captured from the cultists. Can you be responsible for the entire army?"

Of course Yu Lian really wants to say that the Far Shore Nebula is nothing. I have killed even the more monstrous Abyss Nebula, so just leave it to me. However, when it came to his mouth, it became like this: "I can't guarantee it."

"Oh?" The old general was surprised and showed an interesting expression.

"Indeed, I only have a star map that I got from Flores Wanda. It's true that I can't confirm whether it's true or not, but it can at least prove that the legendary space city exists! Your Excellency... ...It is impossible for pirates and gangs to have the strength to build a space base in this big nebula, not even the Republic of Bakwi, the Principality of Ammons, and the United Elders of Embu. They can only be the empire. They are still fighting against Our country is watching with eager eyes, so shouldn’t we also respond a little bit? They can repair it! We can tear it down! Where the enemy goes, I can go too!”

Yu Lian paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "However, relatively speaking, our task is actually completed, and it is enough to give a satisfactory answer to the superiors. The rest will be left to the big shots to play. As community soldiers, we can now return directly as victors and heroes, without fighting or taking risks. Of course we can do this. So, now it depends on your Excellency, Commander, which aspect you want us to implement. "

The bridge of the Corsica, as well as the bridge of the Fog behind the holographic projection, fell into a brief silence.

"...Captain Yu Lian." The old general said.

"I'm here!" Yu Lian quickly saluted.

"You are good at talking, but I don't like to see a young man like you so good at talking. Marshal Paris doesn't want it either. Do you understand?"

"...Understood." Yu Lian actually didn't understand, but the leader said that you have to understand even if you don't understand. This is emotional intelligence!

Brigadier General Marklov adjusted his military hat, covered his eyes with the brim of his hat, and fell into deep thought.

After all, he was a decisive professional soldier. He was silent for only five or six seconds, and then said in a calm voice: "Then, Colonel Bonaparte, start preparing for fleet formation and formulating a plan for possible subsequent stronghold attacks."

Eleanor was overjoyed and stood at attention and saluted

"Also, Captain Yu Lian. I will ask Colonel Carlos to cooperate with you in the fleet navigation work."

The implication is that the real chief navigator of the entire fleet has become Yu Lian. In a sense, at least during the march, the Corsica will perform full combat duties.

"If I discover any emergencies during this period, I will immediately remove your authority and lead the entire fleet back. Do you have any objections?"

"Before that, I'm here to see you!"

The old general shut down the communication again. Within three minutes, the fleet's next action plan was decided.

Akinayama Hachiman had a headache. His original plan was to end the war here within three days. What people like him hate the most is letting things get out of control.

However, at this time, he suddenly remembered that when the fleet set off from the home port of Gibraltar, Eleanor required the entire fleet to bring full supplies, energy and artillery shells.

Thinking about it now, maybe it was premeditated!

Akinayama Hachiman hid his piercing eyes with his glasses and looked at Yu Lian; but the latter responded with even more piercing eyes.

"You saw... the fortress will be attacked soon. Brother Hachiman, do you understand?"

"I still don't know what the specifications of that fortress are, its general dimensions, its structure, its firepower, its protection, and its number of personnel."

Who do you think I am? Does this make me make a crazy plan? If it weren't for the character issue, Akinayama Hachiman would have been swearing at this time.

"You are not familiar with the Clear Sky class, but didn't you perform very well just now? With these few small ships, we overwhelmed the majestic Imperial heavy cruiser and couldn't even lift its head."

"These are completely two different things!"

Of course, the community fleet was in a meeting, and the bombardment and pursuit of enemy ships did not relax at all. However, although the subsequent battle was fierce, there was nothing much to say. It was a boring round-to-round tug-of-war that involved you giving me a shot to scratch you, and me giving you a shot to dodge.

The two sides fought in a routine manner for a while, and finally broke away from the ice crystal asteroid belt.

At this time, it is 21:09 on November 12th.

Marquis Odegaard has already put on his coat of arms and ordered all members of the ship to put on airtight combat uniforms and helmets, preparing to fight the enemy at any time.

What made him a little bit lucky was that the too brutal gang-hopping war did not happen in the end.

The Marquis was not at all disappointed that the hero was useless, but ordered to power the thrusters and let the jump engine start to warm up.

Once the Clear Sky-class battleship is out of the narrow airspace, it can finally let itself go. In just five or six seconds of acceleration, this huge battleship entered a sub-light speed state, immediately throwing the Earth fleet away.

Until here, Marquis Odegaard was slightly relieved, but he soon received news from the first mate that made him completely unhappy.

The escort fighter formation commanded by Lenon was completely wiped out in the brutal stranglehold of enemy aircraft that were twice as many as his own just now. He himself has also lost contact.

In the universe, losing contact can be infinitely equated to "death in battle."

Odegaard showed a sad expression, but he was already prepared and just tapped the breastplate of the heraldry machine lightly. But then, First Officer Wolfgang told the captain that in the attack just now, more than 600 people had died on the ship, more than 100 of them were imperial soldiers. Most of these dead people died in pain during the two toxin bomb attacks.

"People on Earth are brazenly using weapons prohibited by the Interstellar Convention! We need to keep the evidence and then go to the Galactic Civilization Council to sue!" A Bakvi Birdman officer shouted loudly, and was immediately slapped by a Wolfgang first mate next to him. On the face.

"Only the weak will complain to the Raushi Civilization Council! Do you want to insult the empire?" the first mate growled, revealing his sharp canine teeth, as if he might open the Bakvi man's neck to suck blood at any time.

All the Bakvi people on the ship suddenly became speechless. The first mate dropped the birdman in his hand, which was almost frightened into a duck, but still sighed.

Even though No. 24 was still able to run, fight, and jump, and also sank and damaged two enemy destroyers, in terms of casualties, they really didn't dare call it a "victory."

"They chose the honor of an imperial soldier! I failed them..." the Marquis said sadly.

The Wolfgang first mate also had a sad face and wanted to persuade him, but he was actually not good at saying nice things. In the past, this kind of job was actually given to Lenon.

"Gentlemen, this failure is indeed my fault!" the Marquis said to all the officers on the bridge.

The officers looked at each other, a little at a loss for a moment.

"In order to test this new weapon and satisfy my desire for revenge, I rashly chose the battlefield in the asteroid belt. Unexpectedly, although the narrow battlefield did not exert the power of the space torpedo, it allowed our enemies to take advantage of it. . The soldiers all fulfilled their duties and gave their best. However, our enemies did show excellent qualities and unyielding courage! However, gentlemen, the imperial soldiers will never be depressed because of this failure. We have failed, but there is still work to be done! Now I ask each of you to do your duty again until we return to Kerna!"

The battle had reached this point, and although No. 24 was in a miserable state, the hull was far from being unusable, and no more than one-fifth of the men died in the battle. Therefore, although everyone is depressed, it has not reached the point where the glory will last all day long. Encouraged by Odegaard, the Imperials and Bakwis reluctantly cheered up, took their positions, and started working quickly.

On the community side, they watched the imperial warship turn into a light track, and then disappeared without a trace.

"The enemy ship... left our detection range." said the radar technician.

"The absolute speed is higher than ours, so we can't pursue them." Hachiman said.

"What a good ship! The heavy cruiser enters the sub-light speed state, and it is almost as fast as the assault ship! I really want such a ship..." Eleanor's eyes were shining as she watched the enemy warship leave, filled with emotion. It's loss.

However, she had to admit that with her current strength, she really couldn't keep the enemy ship here. In other words, winning this battle is already a stroke of luck.

"To be honest, if it weren't for Yuri's reminder, we cracked the space torpedo at the beginning and disrupted the enemy ship's battle rhythm. It would be difficult for us to win."

"It is certain to be defeated! The overall quality of the enemy's crew is also better than ours! In addition, we must also thank that Marquis who has a big appetite and chose such a narrow airspace." Eleanor sneered and said: "But ...This kind of space torpedo can actually be successful! I thought it was just used by the Alliance's laboratory to defraud funds."

"This is not surprising. It is theoretically established. I heard that the Alliance already has experimental products. However, I really did not expect that the Empire would be one step faster than the Alliance and have already been used in actual combat. On. However, this kind of direct use of immature experimental products in actual combat is indeed in line with their usual practice." Akinayama Hachiman pushed up his glasses and looked at someone who was drawing on the star map. .

"Of course, if it weren't for Captain Yu Lian's reminder, we wouldn't have included this."

"Yuli, this information was also provided by Flores Wanda?" Eleanor asked curiously.

"...No, this is actually what Kolmo said." Yu Lian said seriously: "He is a preparatory astral knight and can be used for internal reference."

"That Colmo knows a lot. Anyway, it's okay now. Bring him up to the bridge and let me interrogate him too." Eleanor became very interested.

"Well, senior sister, I want you to know that when we arrested him, he was too excited and hit a tree while playing hide and seek. Now he is stupid." Yu Lian said matter-of-factly.
