Him and their stars.

Chapter 317

In the following period of time, it was some very routine transactional work.First of all, it is necessary to clean up the battlefield, look for survivors from both sides that may exist, clean up and tidy up all kinds of tattered parts that were missed around the airspace, investigate the astronomical and celestial conditions after the battle, and repair the wear and tear of ships. .

During this period, the fleet members, including the militia from New Seville, a military group of nearly [-] people, will take turns to eat, rest and work.

In addition, the crew of the sunken destroyer Centurion No. 927 were transferred to Corsica and Luoyang in batches, temporarily serving as supplements.As for the destroyer No. 622 Lancer, which was destroyed in the subsequent battle, after emergency repairs, it was finally not scrapped.Fortunately, the jump engine and basic protection are still working well. Although I can't go to the battlefield, it is not a big problem to jump a few more galaxy jumps.

Therefore, everyone unanimously decided that Lancer No. 622 would return to New Seville for overhaul with a small number of disabled wounded—as long as the disabled wounded are not completely dead, they can all be repaired through genetic diagnosis and treatment.It's just that this kind of large-scale treatment equipment can only be equipped on larger ships. Now, it can only be sent to New Seville for treatment.

After a short period of emergency repairs, the rest of the ships returned to [-]-[-]% of their condition.Eleanor felt that the combat power of the entire fleet was still very strong, so she waved her hand and started the next jump.

"According to the estimation of the star map left by Wanda, the ISA872 galaxy, except for the route to Luna, should be near this airspace, that is, within the range marked by the star map X729-811.Y9632-11234.Z1745-2312, There is a new transition channel. Moreover, it should be guaranteed with a solid line."

Yu Lian drew a line on the pilot map, indicating that this should be a stable transition route.

"Considering that the enemy ship also made a transition just now, so there is no problem with quality maintenance." He paused for a while, and then said: "However, the next DK17 galaxy is a white giant galaxy, everyone should pay attention to protection. In addition, due to It is a white giant star with huge mass, so there are multiple transition channels, we don’t have to guess which direction the enemy ship is fleeing, we just march at the original pace.”

Akinayama Hachiman nodded: "However, it is not marching in a straight line. We should make sure that we do not rush to Kerna City before the enemy ships. At the same time, we must also prevent pirates and black (meow) elements from blocking."

"There is a pirate stronghold here, and it has a history of at least a hundred years. And it's very close to us." Feifei also clicked on the star map, and the star that was originally isolated suddenly lit up .

Feifei actually knew it too!Yu Lian looked at the other party suspiciously, and the latter smiled frankly: "It's not surprising. No matter how old the Weitong and the Guotong are, they at least know that they need to maintain a certain relationship with Hei (meow) Dao. They live on the far shore The outlaws in the nebula, the community is not completely ignorant."

Yu Lian felt that the word "inhabitation" was used very cleverly.

Although the subsequent opponents were pirates, Eleanor still ordered everyone to rest for one night until the next day at 11 o'clock in the morning on November 13th, after all the crew finished their breakfast, the next round of jumping began .

Because of the "Wanda's Star Map" information provided by Yu Lian, and Yu Lian's own navigation, the fleet is easily at the edge of the ISA782 galaxy, and the gravity well detector worked for less than an hour, and it was logical. The existence of another transition channel was heard.

The community spent a lot of time exploring the distant nebula, but it only collected some patterned data on the surrounding area.As a result, in one day, the Thirteenth Fleet's exploration of the distant nebula has paid off more than the entire community has earned in a few years.

Do not!Not the Thirteenth Fleet, but Captain Yu Lian himself...

Thinking of this, Brigadier General Mark Love on the Fog City actually had a sense of surreal absurdity.

Then, there was another day and night of guard cruises. During this period of time, everyone in the fleet could really feel why this nebula was regarded as a natural border and a forbidden area for civilization.

They passed by the dying star and saw the surrounding planets that had fallen into death.

They could feel the dense reflection particles, like a blizzard between the mountains, continuously blowing against the shield and armor of the hull.

They saw the expanding giant star, like a huge demon god that is constantly greedy for everything around it.Behind the snow-bright halo that cannot be seen directly, it is like the stomach of an endless abyss that can digest this world.

If it is not an old driver, any of the above extreme changes in the celestial body may bring everyone to death.

"I now understand why the Community did not conduct effective field investigations on the Far Shore Nebula." The Brigadier General thought.

Yes, even if it is found out, it is impossible to establish a busy business route, and naturally there will be no profit, and there will be no financial support.Similarly, if too many people died, it would be difficult to explain to the voters.

However, the empire on the opposite side has such obsession and ambition to conquer this big nebula.

Now, they are only one step away from conquering here.

The system of the empire is really good!The psionic nobles risked their lives, and the citizens of the Empire had to risk their lives too.Of course, even if they spared their lives, there would definitely be the elected emperor of the Chenxi royal family and the generational gods who would whip their asses.

... If this continues, where will the future of the community be?
The old brigadier general was a little flustered for a while, but when he looked through the porthole of the bridge and saw the Corsica leading the way at the forefront of the entire fleet, he was relieved.

Isn't the future right there?His heart was suddenly filled with hope.

At 11:14 pm on November 14th, after a long march, all the troops of the Thirteenth Fleet finally arrived in a fairly stable star system.

The star here is a star that has just entered its young age. There are seven planets in the galaxy, and there are no stable habitable planets. However, the overall environment of the fourth planet is close to that of Mars, and it is a planet that can be transformed.

Soon, the investigators determined that there were indeed large-scale man-made structures on the surface of the planet.

"In this galaxy, no enemy ships have been found for the time being!" The investigators then gave such information.

"The possibility of a trap is not ruled out!" Akinayama Hachiman whispered.

"...Indeed, order the entire fleet to remain vigilant!" The senior sister followed suit.

She is indeed a brave general who likes to be reckless, but she is not a mediocre person without brains.

Ever since, the Thirteenth Fleet still maintained due vigilance and prudence, carefully approached the back of the planet, and observed more, before confirming that this was indeed a pirate stronghold.In addition, the pirates in the stronghold did not set any traps. They really did not think that they would be approached by the navy of the earthlings. Even the pirate ships of various sizes and full of grafting wind were lying in the port. , as if also in a deep sleep.

"It's really not vigilant." The senior sister was in a daze.She is really not interested in such a weak enemy.

"After all, they are pirates. If you have wine today, you will be drunk today. Besides, according to common sense, it is impossible for a navy to come from such a remote place." Yu Lian said with a smile: "In addition, at least the construction ability of these pirates is worthy of appreciation. Well?"

They are indeed a rare underworld gang that knows how to farm. Using various abandoned spaceship cabins and all kinds of parts that I don’t know where to get, they really put together a large-scale gang. The scale of the planetary space base is much larger than the outpost planetary bases arranged by the Far Coast Fleet on the front line of the corridor, and it even built a dome farm.

Among the desolate brown rocks, there stands such a dome filled with the luster of life. Yu Lian thinks that this part-time job can be called "the pearl of the distant nebula".He was in awe for a moment, thinking that if he changed his position, he would definitely be interested in chatting and laughing with the leaders of the pirates.

It's a pity that the senior from a wealthy family didn't have any feelings at all. After confirming that there was really no danger nearby, she ordered the attack.

Ever since, the justice that fell from the sky completely wiped out this pirate stronghold.

The battle process is very simple. Five or six consecutive rounds of bombing within one minute easily destroyed almost all pirate ships in the port and several turrets and monitoring stations full of gangsters. Then there were two rounds of deterrent bombing on the main building .

Immediately afterwards, the militiamen of New Seville landed like a joy.

Facing such an enemy, Yu Lian was too lazy to join the battle.When he was sitting on the ship, he asked the marines to pay attention to collecting astronomical data in the hands of the pirates, the more the better.

"In addition, there are vegetables! Yes, don't blow up that dome farm! We can replenish a lot of fresh ingredients for the fleet!"

"Got it! I'll pick two oranges for you, the fish is right here, don't go away."

As a war correspondent, Feifei was much more dedicated than Yu Lian, and went down with two unmanned aerial vehicles.

The other three psykers in the fleet were also more energetic than Yu Lian, and they all participated in the landing battle.With Meng Jiao's rapid advance, Feifei's assistance, and Yi Na and Simon's long-distance support, none of the marines was killed in battle, and only three were slightly injured.

...In addition, the three unlucky ones who were injured were bitten by overlord piranhas grown in space when they went to the farm to pick vegetables.It is said that the fresh vegetables in the dome are important foreign exchange-earning products of the pirate group, not for ordinary minions.Therefore, the head of the team, Sandos, planted more than a dozen such disharmonious things in the vegetable field, in order to prevent the underlings from stealing the vegetables.

Probably because the only injury data on our side in this battle was made by plants, the senior sister felt deeply humiliated, and after asking for some information, she ordered all the surrendered pirates to be shot on the spot without hesitation.

No one disputes that, anyway, pirates have no human rights.Everyone collected all the materials that could be used, and razed this so-called "Pearl of the Far Shore Nebula" to the ground with one shot, and then continued to move forward with satisfaction.

The morale of everyone in the Thirteenth Fleet is high.They beat off the imperial warships, and now the one who killed them with zero casualties was called the "Red Bearded Pirates". It is said that they are also well-known in the Tao.Thirteenth Fleet officers and men, mostly recruits, finally realized that they seemed to be in a pretty good team.

The Vigilante of New Seville is even happier that they are finally opening.Some large pieces of stolen goods in the pirates' warehouses were really hard to deal with, so they could only be buried on the spot to see if there was a chance to dig them up later, but they seized more than [-] million gold dragons in cash.

You know, the empire is still using a lot of precious metal currency.In any known region of the universe, whether it is the administrative region of the country or the private land of the underworld giant (meow) chieftain, there is nothing harder than these golden cuties.

In addition, according to the confession of the pirate leader Santos who was shot in the head by Ina before his death, these gold coins were all saved by him working hard to grow vegetables, and he was going to go to Kerna City to buy three or four. Good ship, the earthlings are coming.

Yes, the space station that is still under construction has become a transfer station for pirates to exchange information and supplies with each other.The management of the space station seems to be very happy with this.

In addition, there is now a shipyard there, willing to provide repairs and major construction services to pirates and smugglers.

Of course, Santos didn't know that it was managed by the Empire.Most of the pirates only know that it is a mysterious party with huge financial resources and technical capabilities behind the scenes... As for the others, it is really unclear.In other words, even if the big pirates vaguely guessed something, they had no choice but to pretend to be confused.

With a wave of her hand, Eleanor gave half of it to the militia soldiers in New Seville.Each person will get more than [-] gold coins on average.With just such a sum, the soldiers earned the equivalent of half a year's allowance income.

They were about to applaud that Brigadier General Mark Love will live forever, and Bonaparte's chief executive will enjoy immortal blessings forever. Even the eldest sister Lilia who brought them to make a fortune can find a "forever healthy X" or something.

Ms. "Colonel" Lilia Alfonso was not pleased with that.She is very aware of the sexiness of the people under her command. When she has money, she can call her mother. When she has no money, even if her own mother comes, she still can't command her.

"That's enough! At least, you have established a little prestige, and it will be much easier to lead troops in the future. If you want to rectify at that time, you must at least have a foundation. Moreover, everyone's morale is so high, and subsequent actions will be very difficult." It will be much more convenient." Feifei comforted her.

"No matter what I say, I graduated from the Central Defense University, and I hope that the troops I lead will not be so mob... But there is no way, the local militia has no motivation to become stronger." Lilia thought for a while, and then Said: "Fortunately, there are still a group of ambitious young men in the army, who say they want to join the Thirteenth Fleet and earn some money. What the fleet lacks most now are stormtroopers and marines, right?"

"Senior Eleanor should be very welcome!" Feifei said.

"However, the first thing to ask is the attitude of Papa Marklov. After all, it will be a regular army establishment in the future, and there are many procedures that need to be completed. However, if the commander of the fleet sends an application to the commander's headquarters in person, many procedures can be simplified." Second Lieutenant Anne Romanova said.

Lilia nodded.

"In the future, Lilia will be the commander of the militia at home, and Fina will be the reporter. I will continue to sail. Everyone has a bright future!" Annie laughed.

"Yeah, with this calculation, no one will have to sneak away!" Lilia also laughed.

"It's a pity, girls, not only did I sneak away, but there was nothing left after eating and wiping it off." Feifei showed a frank and sweet smile.

"It's disgusting! Fina, what are you talking about to an unmarried lady like Yunying!" Lilia said loudly, covering her face.

"...There is no scum left? How old is that guy? Fina, I know you are good, but you still have to pay attention to his body." Annie felt that she had discovered a very important point.

The girls from the 830 Student Union laughed and played around, clinked a glass with the red wine rationed to the officers at dinner, and quickly ended their first gathering after leaving school. son.

In fact, they are really busy now.

Anne is now the helmsman of the flagship Fog City.Lilia is busy counting up the list of soldiers who are willing to join the Thirteenth Fleet.As for Fina, she had a full week of interview assignments, from Commander Mark Love to the most ordinary crew members, and no one was left behind.

The following week was the military operation that Fina later called in the report "the sweep of the far shore nebula".

The Thirteenth Fleet was approaching the city of Kerna, and at the same time, it was like a tiger coming out of the mountain. It was invincible and would fight against the enemy. Along the way, at least seven or eight bands of pirates were wiped out, and more than a dozen strongholds of criminals, big and small, were blown up. .

By November 11st, the Thirteenth Fleet should have three more jumps away from the galaxy where Kerna is located.And at this time, they finally met a rather gratifying pirate fleet.
