Him and their stars

The Sarna galaxy is a special but very inconspicuous galaxy on the battlefield of this exercise. The special thing is that it is one of the manned systems in the exercise field, and there are gravity mining devices and giant solar panels in the orbit of the planet, there is an Metal Gear factory, and there are also factory clusters on the planet. Although it is not large in scale, if it is occupied, a large amount of supplies can be obtained. For the red side, it is also a very valuable goal.

But the inconspicuous thing is that this galaxy actually deviates from several main channels. If the red side wants to attack the blue side's core Luyuan Star, it will take at least four more jumps to take a detour from here. In addition, the total accommodation mass of the star's gravity well is limited, so the large fleet will have to queue up to pass. This calculation would extend the voyage by one to two weeks.

In a week or two, too many things can happen on the ever-changing battlefield.

Because of this, the staff of the observation team analyzed it and believed that the possibility of a battle in the Sarna galaxy was not too great.

"Indeed." Yu Lian nodded, but his brain was spinning rapidly. I thought I couldn't tell you that we were going to take this opportunity of "the chaos of war" to dig for a treasure or something in Count Salvin's old fiefdom. Now we are members of the military observation group. Is there any more convenient status than this? Moreover, Yani should have already left for the front station. I have to go over and meet her!

…Wait a minute, I’m going to meet up with Yanni, with Feifei?

Well, hey, what are you afraid of? I, Yu Lian, sit upright and walk upright, yes, what is there to be afraid of?

"However, this is based on the common sense of the exercise. If we only regard the red side as the attacking side and the blue side as the defending side, then the Sarna galaxy will definitely be separated from the main battlefield. But... if we say, Doesn’t Marshal Este on the blue side just want to defend?”

"What do you mean?" Major General Lal seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly fell into deep thought.

"Yes, Marshal Este was born into the Marquis of Feimunliega family. Not surprisingly, he will definitely get a lifelong marquis or even duke before retiring. He who was born into a wealthy family is actually the same as Este who was born into a small noble family. Admiral Ruifa is not getting along. Not to mention, there are now rumors in the market that the emperor asked him to retire early to make room for his favorite general Arifa. Although Marshal Este is old, he has never been Known for his big heart. If possible, he would not give up any opportunity to embarrass Admiral Arefa."

Some people in the observation group were lost in thought, including Major General Lal, but most of them were either obviously absent-minded or simply didn't understand.

Of course, there are also those who are extremely deep and have no expression at all on their expressions.

Yu Lian glanced at the crowd, quickly saw their expressions, and had a rough idea of ​​the quality of this military delegation.

Overall, it is still above the average.

"But, what does this have to do with your going to the Sarna galaxy?" The person who asked the question was Major Poppas, who ranked among the top three members of the military delegation in terms of body shape. This is a giant man over two meters tall with a thick and stocky build. At first glance, he looks like a black bear walking upright. He is a Marine Corps officer and looks to be around forty years old.

Although Major Poppas looks very strong, he has a big, round face, and the flesh on his cheeks is not ferocious. He has a smile, and even looks a little naive.

Well, this person is worth paying attention to. Yu Lian quickly looked at the major, and then said: "Marshal Este is also a war hero who was killed in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the last Galaxy War. If he just defends Luyuan Star, how can he show his ability? However, we all know that according to the exercise settings, the Lion's Den Fortress is the red side's base camp and only stronghold. As long as it is captured there, the red side fleet on the front line will completely lose support and supplies. Although it has the advantage of troops, sooner or later It's a white flag... Sooner or later, you will lose your will to fight. Once the Lion's Den Fortress is occupied, the red side will either make a desperate move forward with all its strength, or it will have to divide its forces to recapture its Lion's Den Fortress. But no matter which way it is, it is very likely to be exposed. flaw."

At this point, even the most confused people showed a look of surprise.

Yu Lian continued: "However, if Marshal Este really captures the Lion's Den Fortress, the most likely thing to do is to gather the most elite astral knights, take a high-speed cruiser to bypass the frontal battlefield, and follow this route Head straight to the Lion's Den Fortress to join the gang. But if they do this, the battleship they are riding on must pass through this small nebula that is relatively difficult to navigate..."

Yu Lian pulled out a marching track on the star map, clicked twice on the blurry star field with his fingers, and a face frame with detailed introduction popped up immediately.

"There are two red giant stars in this nebula that have entered the terminal, and a natural wormhole that has been closed. Of course, this is not to the point of being impassable, but it will definitely cause some damage to the battleship. If you want to ensure that the lion's den is If the fortress is attacked by a gang, nine times out of ten, they will choose to carry out repairs and supplies on the planet Sarna."

Seeing that some people seemed to be confused, Yu Lian added another explanation: "I checked the information on this planet. It was a fiefdom of an earl more than a hundred years ago. Of course, because Jue Si is now under the direct control of the central government. Before. Count Salvin, the lord of the country, was a very insightful operator. He saw the business opportunity of supplying the front line of the Galactic Center and built an engineering robot production line and a maintenance slipway. The factory he left behind is still this The planet’s pillar industry.”

Yu Lian thought to himself that this is really me, the logic is so smooth and clear, and the reasons can be thought of!

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

"So, the Sarna galaxy will be the only way for the blue team's surprise attack force to pass!" Major Poppas nodded: "It is very likely that a high-energy strangulation battle will occur here, right?"

"The premise is that the red side will make a prediction." Yu Lian said with a smile: "But even if the red side does not defend here, we can follow the blue side's surprise attack force all the way to the Lion's Den Fortress. In this way, once On the one hand, you can watch the Astral Knights' battle to capture the fortress, and witness how the new heraldic machine will perform on the battlefield when combined with the new four-image tactic... On the other hand, you can also observe the situation of the Lion's Den Fortress. Kill two birds with one stone! "

Major General Lal and other senior officers in the delegation were convinced and expressed their reasoning. An older lieutenant general whose name was not important even directly praised Yu Lian for being so thoughtful at such a young age. Sure enough, he was a natural talent in both civil and military affairs. Admiral Maxer, who had been silent and regarded himself as the mascot, smiled proudly and gratifiedly, and almost grabbed everyone's hands and told them that this was my student.

Since we are going to witness the attack of the Astral Knights, the most appropriate observers are extraordinary ones. Indeed, there should be Yu Lian, Tantai Jing and Feifei forming a team.

Major General Lal asked Tantai Jing again what he meant, and the latter said that I am just a psychic and do not understand military affairs. Naturally, you have the final say.

As a result, Yu Lian and the others decided on their next move. But at this time, Major Poppas suddenly said: "In that case, can I go with you?"

This time, even Tantai Jing and Feifei were a little surprised, and Yu Lian couldn't help but look at this person twice.

His body is indeed very burly, wrapped in a straight officer uniform, and you can see the strong and full muscles that contain a sense of strength. It feels like he can crush a dozen enemies wearing power armor to death with his bare hands. Even in the era of cold weapons, it seemed that one could use this brute force to become a king and build a country.

However, that's all.

Major Poppas was really just an ordinary guy who was extremely strong and trained hard. If he really wanted to take action, he would probably be able to occasionally suppress those first- and second-level non-combat psykers through his own brute strength and skills.

"Please." Major Poppas showed an expectant expression.

Yu Lian and Tantai Jing exchanged a look, and the latter smiled slightly, indicating that the other party made the decision.

Out of interest, Yu Lian agreed.

Major Poppas, who was overjoyed, hurriedly applied to Brigadier General Zhang, a member of the military delegation. This General Zhang is also a big man with a leopard head and ringed eyes, a powerful body, and he is quite capable of fighting at first glance. He is also the only general in this military delegation who belongs to the Marine Corps system.

However, General Zhang, who had the face of a fierce general, showed a constipated expression. He hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something to Yu Lian, but in the end he said nothing and just squeezed out a A rather awkward smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Colonel. Poppas, please don't cause trouble to everyone, be mature! Be discerning!"

Soon, the members of the delegation were divided into groups. Major General Lal also explained the travel plan to everyone. Military delegations from various countries will set off together on the next day, taking the luxury passenger ship arranged by the imperial military to the capital of the Extreme Star Territory, Luyuan Star.

This journey will take everyone two weeks. Of course, we are all adults, so two weeks cannot be wasted like this. Considering that the military delegations of various countries are all on the same ship, it can be said to be a natural diplomatic stage. It is very reasonable for everyone to eat, drink, chat and improve diplomatic relations while exchanging information and so on.

Then, after arriving at Luyuan Star, everyone will be grouped into groups and take the transportation boat to their respective destinations.

Of course, considering the incident and distance, the empire actually issued three three-month diplomatic passes plus a half-year free navigation certificate to each military delegation. This means that if any military observers feel that the imperial arrangement is too expensive and involves too many social activities, they can take a boat directly to the destination. During the exercise, ships holding these ships can navigate freely within imperial territory.

From this perspective, the empire is quite open. Although in the eyes of Major General Watt Rall, this always seems to be a bit of a bargain.

"Our embassy doesn't have any spare spaceships." Major General Lal said to everyone, "Of course, if you really don't want to deal with all the entertainment and want to go on your own, you can also go to the charter company in the Imperial Capital."

"Goodbye, everyone didn't prepare any extra expenses when they came. The prices here in Tianyu really scared me. Didn't you see that now you eat three meals a day in the embassy? I originally wanted to go to Huanyu Paradise I went shopping and brought back a genuine Pana doll for my grandson..." An officer shook his head, with a sad smile that made him feel poor: "What did you say? Can the embassy reimburse you?"

Of course it is impossible for the embassy to reimburse you. Counselor Bliss, the second-in-command in the embassy and the only steward in charge of money, even said directly that the military must be rich in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs anyway. It is common in the world for rich people to rob poor people, but you have neither worn a He wears the coat of arms of the Dragon of Dawn and his surname is Berenkeist, so don't pretend to be a master in front of him.

Those who understood were naturally ashamed, and those who did not understand were naturally shocked by Mr. Qi's momentum and ran away one by one. Only Yu Lian thought for a moment, raised his hand and said, "Then... the battery can always be reimbursed, right?"

"Of course the battery is fine! If it's you, you can rent a boat, just write a report." Counselor Bliss said with a smile, not hiding his double standards at all.

The rest of the delegation are envious but dare not hate. Who is it that Yu Lian is still an assistant counselor and one of the embassy's "own people"? Who is it that he is still the God's chosen champion and a hero of the earth?

"I'm very satisfied if I can report some of the electricity bills I spent on the road. I don't dare to cause any more trouble to the organization." Yu Lian smiled and said, "I just remembered that I seem to have a boat."

"Yes, there is a ship? Oh, it seems so." Counselor Bliss thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, yes! Duke Androtier, your ship Lightyear Mission. Uh, yes, keys and documents It has always been here with me, but you never came to get it.”

"Because I have indeed forgotten everything!" Yu Liandao said: "Fortunately, the ship is now hanging in King Suliuka's dock. If I had to pay the tax, I would definitely not forget it."

The officers of the delegation asked the surrounding staff and found out that Yu Lian was already a member of the "ship-owning class". Moreover, it is the top-notch high-speed luxury passenger ship Lightyear Mission, and the ship was delivered to the door by a royal prince.

This time, they couldn't even be jealous. After all, this was a gift from the imperial family in repayment for their life-saving grace. What else could they say other than lamenting that the royal family was really generous?

Moreover, receiving the heavy gift from the imperial royal family while slapping the imperial knight in the face, this method of jumping left and right is very unusual. Based on this alone, everyone is already in admiration.

"Your ship is parked at Pier 4 of the Glory Bridge. I will ask the people at the pier to start preparing it. It will not delay your trip tomorrow." Counselor Bliss said while already picking up his own Communication terminal, a call came to the dock.

Of course the staff at the dock knew that the Suliuka Palace was paying the berth rent for this ship, so they certainly did not dare to neglect it. Even without such a background, a lightyear mission-class luxury cruise ship with a cost comparable to that of a warship is enough to attract their attention.

The maintenance staff carefully drove the ship in the luxury warehouse to the berth and began to check the operation of the energy pipelines and various equipment. Several technicians even wore protective clothing and climbed to the outside of the ship with the robot to start polishing and waxing.

Such a grand spectacle naturally attracted the attention of everyone at the berth next to it.

This is a group of Imperial people carrying large and small bags, boarding an ordinary-looking passenger and cargo ship. During this time, imperial soldiers were continuously heading to the imperial frontier, and such scenes were naturally very common.

The staff at the dock naturally did not recognize that these imperial soldiers wearing ordinary military uniforms were actually a group of capable astral knights.

"A big shot is also going on a trip!" Colonel Soback on the trestle looked at the Lightyear Mission being prepared next to him, a trace of longing flashed in his eyes.

"It has nothing to do with us, so don't worry about it. We must be familiar with all the capabilities of this camouflaged attack ship before reaching the end of the border." The young officer standing next to him said in a deep voice, it was Viscount Shameen.
