Him and their stars

Soon, the young man who was a military academy student and a professional valet cleaned the room again and helped Yu Lian tidy up his desk. Organized all the information he could consult into paper texts and put them into categories.

It is obvious that the information can be obtained as an electronic document, but it must be made in paper form. On the one hand, this is for security - Yu Lian's current authority still cannot use the terminal to access the database, but can only access entertainment facilities; on the other hand, this is probably also a sense of ritual.

Anyway, the Tirero people are indeed the most ritualistic nation in the universe.

"Please rest first. I'll take my leave first. If anything happens, just ring the call bell." Corporal Emile Morrista saluted, turned around and left with a meticulous pace like a march. .

It must be admitted that this boy is indeed an outstanding child. He is so careful, conscientious and methodical in his work at such a young age. Not only can he be a qualified housekeeper, but he can also fulfill some of the duties of an adjutant. If he can live peacefully to adulthood, it is hard to say whether he will become a famous general, but he will definitely be an excellent officer. of.

No matter how much the Alliance complains, in fact, allowing upper-class children to receive paramilitary education from a young age is indeed a powerful means to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army. If you say it a little darker, this is even a powerful means to ensure the dominance of the Tirero military nobles over the army and the country.

Of course, in order to avoid some unpopular problems, the young orderlies had to be of the same sex as the senior officers with whom they served. Even so, we really cannot rule out the possibility that problems will arise.

But what if something really goes wrong? Maybe the top military officials are quite happy to see this happen.

You know, the Earth has examples of the Knights of Companions and the Holy Army of Thebes, and empires with a longer history have even more similar historical facts in this regard.

Yu Lian arranged his salutes, then sat down in the office, picked up the document that Corporal Emil had compiled for him, opened it, and found that it was a rough description of all the warships in his fleet this time.

...It is indeed just a "rough description", but for those who are seeing these battleship information for the first time, it should be the latest first-hand information.

Then, there was a description of the battle situation sent from the Lion's Den Fortress. During this period, the Marauders did try to conduct small-scale exploratory attacks on the Lion's Den Fortress and Far Home Planet, but they were repelled by the defenders led by Admiral Celerius, and they killed far more than their own losses. Many enemies.

I have to admit that Admiral Celerius was a veteran who grew up in the last galactic war. Even if he is not a genius general, his experience alone is enough to hone his command to over ninety. Although the "haunted incidents" inside the fortress are still continuing, everyone still has not found the truth, and the panic among the officers and soldiers of the fortress continues. But even in such an unfavorable situation, under his high-pressure control and 24-hour all-round patrol supervision, the unknown victim finally did not appear again.

As a result, the situation in the fortress stabilized.

The Lion's Den Fortress does feel a little bit trapped internally and externally, but it is by no means isolated. The fortress garrison fleet, with the Tirero Titan ship as its flagship, is also expected to arrive at the Lion's Den Fortress within today. In addition, the Astral Knights led by Viscount Shameen also rushed to the scene as quickly as possible.

Once they attack, everything will be fine.

This doesn’t even include the Angel of Dawn, which is traveling day and night.

However, what is interesting is that the main fleet of the predators was clearly facing such an unfavorable situation, but it did not retreat or flee to other galaxies - this was what everyone initially thought was the most likely scenario. They stayed under the Lion's Den Fortress and set up their military formation facing the direction of the sun, as if they were preparing for a solemn fleet battle with the imperial fleet coming from afar.

This was indeed a bit beyond Yu Lian's expectations.

Surrounding the spot for support? Don't talk nonsense. The prerequisite for the success of this tactic is that the enemy's "reinforcements" are too far away to attack and they are exhausted. They may even be beaten into pieces because of the division of troops. But this is the Extreme Star Region, which is the mainland of the empire. Of all the imperial fleets rushing to the Lion's Den, who is not well-equipped and well-equipped with high morale?

As for the issue of troop strength... with the Titan ship here, there is a mainstay in the fleet battle.

As for the predators, after staying in that hellish place in the center of the galaxy for a long time, most of them have unstable mental structures. This kind of self-destruction style of play is not uncommon. If we really encounter the army of a small and weak country in the second and third tiers that Fela can't bear, maybe we can really bite off a few pieces of meat.

However, they faced the Imperial Fleet, the most powerful and elite armed force in the known universe.

If the leader of the other party was the great khan of the Eero people whom he knew, he probably wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

...Well, of course, it's also possible that he slapped the Great Khan to death because of his butterfly wings? So the current leader of the Predators is another typical guy with muscles and brains?

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

Didn't you see, the empire has adopted an unprecedentedly ferocious attitude and is seizing snakes everywhere? In the previous life, this scene occurred only after Brunhild came to the throne.

Yu Lian decided to review all the information about the predators during this period to see if he could find any clues. However, before he could take out the classified intelligence materials and take a look at them, the doorbell rang again from outside.

He said that what bothers him most is being disturbed while doing work. Whether he was working, practicing, playing games or playing mahjong, he immediately jumped up in anger and opened the door.

This time, the female captain of Standard Unit 2.0 and his theoretical service adjutant, Corporal Emil, were both there. Although the female captain seemed calm on the surface, Yu Lian clearly saw a trace of anxiety in her eyes. As for the latter, who still looked confused, he was obviously pulled over by the former.

"Colonel, Your Highness invites you." She tried her best to say in a calm, business-like tone without being polite. To put it bluntly, it is a standard business tone.

However, precisely because it was too standard, Yu Lian felt that the problem was serious, so he smiled and said, "Is there something going on at the front line?"

These words made Miss Captain unable to continue. Of course, as a professionally trained foreign affairs officer, she could only nod her head with an impeccable attitude and said: "This matter is not known to my subordinates. Please come here."

So, Yu Lian once again pretended to be on board the ship for the first time. He looked around and marveled at the decoration and "never seen before" facilities on the ship, and followed the captain through the senior officers' room. In the living area, enter the central axis of the ship and take the shuttle bus to the bridge.

As the ship of the chosen emperor, it is possible that it will become the emperor's ship and the flagship of the entire imperial army in the future. The furnishings on the bridge are more like the palace's audience hall than the headquarters of the fleet. the taste of.

For example, Brunhilt's location is on a high platform on the third floor in the center of the bridge. Sitting on it, you can have a panoramic view of the busy figures of hundreds of officers, large and small, in the entire bridge, which is quite a bit like overlooking all living beings.

...Speaking of which, it is said that during the Battle of Gaugamea, Darius III actually found a three-meter-high chariot filled with gold and silver in order to allow his "million-strong army" to see him. Then, it became the target of Alexander and his fellow knights.

In my previous life, I and my fellow volunteers who boarded the Dawn Angel really had this idea. Unfortunately, everyone only advanced to the bridge entrance.

Speaking of which, although it was not his first time boarding a ship, it was his first time entering the bridge.

At this time, the female captain had already led the rest of the company to an open space on the second floor of the bridge. This is the seat of the fleet staff. The terminal in front of them can observe the current situation of the fleet in a timely manner, and at the same time communicate directly with the third-level fleet command layer in real time.

In other words, even if the commander and chief of staff are quarreling, you can still intervene.

Although the Empire is a country that pays great attention to the so-called sense of ritual, when it comes to war, it pays great attention to efficiency and practicality.

Yu Lian was just about to sit down and take a look at the interface used by the empire's senior officers on the intranet, when he heard Brynhilt from the third floor say, "Is it Yu Lianqing? Come up here."

As a result, he was once again surrounded by various school-level staff officers on the second floor, as well as several other officers of different races from the observation group.

Yu Lian sighed inwardly and went up to the third floor from the back stairs, only to find a three-dimensional star map spread out in front of the platform above. A group of generals surrounded King Suliuka.

Before he could recognize all the imperial generals, Brynhilt, who was wearing the uniform of an imperial general, had already turned around to see him and said straight to the point: "Yu Lianqing, the Lion's Den Fortress is lost."

Her tone was so calm. She was so calm that Yu Lian wondered for a moment whether she was joking, but she added: "The Tiruiro Yongjin was severely damaged, and the commander of the fortress garrison fleet, Lieutenant General Omoti, was seriously injured and fell into coma. The fleet suffered heavy losses. It has already been Retired to the Mysha galaxy to regroup."

"..."

"The fleets of Rear Admiral Bai Ya and Commodore Shameen have also temporarily lost contact."

Yu Lian noticed that when Brynhilt was narrating, she placed Fleet Admiral Rear Admiral Baiya before the Astral Knight Viscount Shameen, which somewhat reflected some of her biases.

Of course, that's not the point. It's just some of Yu Lian's little habits - the more urgent the situation, the more divergent his thinking becomes, and the easier it is for him to notice some indescribable small details around him.

"...It is not correct to say that it has completely fallen. The officers and soldiers on the fortress are still resisting under the leadership of Brigadier General Kesore, the security director." A general in his forties said. Yu Lian estimated that this should be Admiral Farrell who stole the show in this glorious mission.

"Yes, but what is certain is that General Celerius has been killed in the battle. The fortress central control and at least eight of the twelve fortress guns have fallen into the hands of the enemy." Osten, wearing the uniform of a brigadier general Miss Na Barr added.

Yu Lian no longer knew whether he should laugh or pick up his chin, so he pressed his chin hard and asked in a deep voice: "The predators have boarded the fortress? Are they fighting with the imperial officers and soldiers?"

Everyone exchanged glances with each other. After a few seconds, Ostana said: "Actually, the last image sent back to us by the unmanned detection station showed that the predators only officially boarded the Lion's Den Fortress an hour ago. . But before, they were fighting some strange alien species."

Yu Lian was startled for a moment, and then found that Brunhilt was looking at him with piercing eyes. He suddenly understood why she called him here specifically, and he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.

At this time, Ostana opened another scene: it was a spacious and bright internal passage, which should be the scene in the Lion's Den Fortress. The firearms of the imperial soldiers spurted out fury, pouring bullets into the bodies of the ferocious aliens with their teeth and claws snarling. The splashing body fluids and broken limbs even drowned out the air waves formed by the barrage.

However, there were still bugs scurrying out of the barriers formed by the barrage from the walls, ceiling, and between the corpses of their companions, and threw themselves into the formation of the Imperial soldiers. If they were soldiers wearing power skeletons, they could still swing axes and warhammers to pass a few moves, but it seemed that many soldiers who had no time to put on protective clothing could hardly block even one move with their thin uniforms.

"Tsk... Springtail!" Yu Lian finally did not shout out the "scientific name" of this later generation, and continued to look at everything expressionlessly.

Then, he saw highly corrosive liquid spraying out from the alien community like a high-pressure water gun. Soldiers who were not wearing power suits were sprayed, and their limbs were melted directly, and their death was horrific. And even those soldiers wearing power armor couldn't last more than a few seconds. In a sense, their death was even more painful than that of their unarmored comrades.

"Hydralisks? It can already corrode the military armor of individual soldiers. It is much stronger than when it was in the New Jade Gate. It is at least half as powerful as it was at its peak in the previous life!" Yu Lian thought.

Immediately afterwards, dozens more bugs that were much smaller than springtails and appeared to be as big as mice rushed over from the line of fire and crashed into the crowd.

Baneling bug? Is it as powerful as a self-disciplined mine?

Yu Lian wanted to see more, then heard a violent explosion. The screen then went black, indicating that the video should have ended.

"This is a video just sent from Lion's Den Fortress. They are fighting this thing now." Ostana said.

"It is indeed a very tricky thing..." Brynhild mused: "However, from the current point of view, these things are more threatening on a wide battlefield."

Indeed, the zerg can climb on floors, walls, and ceilings. All of them are geckos, and they are quite flexible and agile. They are all natural killers. However, in the relatively narrow space city, it is much easier to block the front than to open the battlefield.

After all, they are the imperial army guarding the Lion's Den Fortress. Whether it is the quality of the soldiers or the equipment, they are infinitely higher than the ragtag New Yumen Guards.

This is the tactical sense of a natural military god! It was obviously her first time seeing this thing. Yu Lian sighed.

"I don't believe this thing can capture the Lion's Den Fortress," she added.

"Yes, when they first appeared, we were still able to reach them and even compressed them within the B2 to 14 areas of the fortress."

As expected of the elite of the Imperial Army, this ability to organize a Jedi counterattack on the spot is truly a miracle!

"However, after the predators landed, it was inevitable that they would lose sight of the other." Ostana said.

"In other words, these things may be biological weapons of the predators?" Brunhilt frowned and said, "But this is unscientific!"

Yes, it’s so unscientific! Yu Lian thought. There are only two waves of insect swarms that exist now, one is the "original version", which is probably in the hands of the snake. A wave of "starting to evolve" must be in the hands of Xia Li.

I have never heard of any py relationship between these two families! He even fought in more than one battle.

...Of course, if you think about it divergently, maybe Charlie fell in love with the Predator Khan because of her butterfly effect? Or is it that snakes and predators are in cahoots?

So, this is actually my fault too!

"Furthermore, this cannot explain the reason why they appeared in Xinyumen before." Brynhilt added.

All in all, after two years, Yu Lian finally got the news about this natural disaster group that would cause a catastrophe in the universe in the future and create trillions of innocent deaths.

He subconsciously wanted to clench his fists and let his smile gradually change. However, when the corners of his mouth just turned up a little, several people present had already moved their eyes.

In addition to Brünnhilt and Ostana, who have been observing their expressions openly, there are also Countess Giafel and a middle-aged uncle about forty-five or six years old. He is of medium height, has a cold temperament, and is wearing a Lieutenant General rank.

Yu Lian estimated that the latter should be Lieutenant General Luo Ruian, the chief navigator of this fleet. This is a six-ring "cartographer" and should be the "number one master" on this ship.

...Well, it's hard to say whether he is the best at fighting. After all, he is not very good at "exploring" star rings from the front, but his perception and observation must be very sharp. He must have felt his sudden murderous intention.

Fortunately, everyone did not misunderstand that their murderous intention was directed at the people on the boat.

Brunhild frowned and said in a regretful tone: "It seems that the experience of the new Yumen has been quite traumatic for you. If you are a serious child, you will almost have a psychological shadow."

"However, does this also mean that even Yu Lianqing is still afraid?" She said, with a little smile in her tone.

Oh, it turns out you really know that those things appeared in Xinyumen!

...But why the hell am I not surprised by this?
