Him and their stars

Chapter 662 Half-brothers of different parents and races

The hundreds of battleships that entered the Lion's Cave galaxy in the first step are indeed small and medium-sized ships, mainly light high-speed cruisers, with ten assault motherships and ten arsenal ships... Well, according to the predators The "term" should be called a fire-breathing ship.

Unlike most of the cantilever countries located outside the galactic center, in the sea of ​​galaxies within the galactic center of the predators, there are no requirements for protecting trade routes, fighting crime, maintaining law and order, and life in that ghost place The situation is indeed a bit harsh, and there are basically no small ships such as assault ships and destroyers in their fleet.In addition, their fleet actually does not have the standard division of ship types like other countries.

For the convenience of looting, almost every ship, including the lightest cruisers, has a hangar for assault landing craft and a navy room for stormtroopers.

In addition, they only have two types of large combat ships, the mothership for more looters and loot, and the flamethrower for more trolls.

Of course, there are still larger warships.The predators, especially after getting the remnants and technical heritage of the Eero Empire, they also mastered the manufacturing technology of dreadnoughts, but there are still only the above two models, and some even carry the function of settlements.

After all, they are "nomads". This simple but not simple ship type combination is probably more suitable for their tactics.

A little bigger is the immigration ship and various functional ships.For example, Dr. Xie used to be on an agricultural ship, which is a type of functional ship.

According to the current intelligence of various countries, there is almost no earth-like planet in this large star field in the Milky Way that can rest and reproduce. Galaxies, struggling to survive while migrating.

Admiral Selelius did not find any giant ships of the dreadnought level from the local vanguard.However, if the Marauders really tried to attack the Lion's Den Fortress, this amount of troops would be absolutely impossible.

Sure enough, as Admiral Celerius expected, when the vanguard fleet completely entered the galaxy, the fortress radar sent another signal, showing that the individual warship with a wavelength of 1 had a total mass of more than 500 million tons.

It's a dreadnought!

Although the No. 3 gravity well leading to the galactic center is still expanding, it is still incomparable with the core area of ​​the Milky Way galaxy, those traffic arteries that can easily carry hundreds of millions of tons of mass at the same time.

In fact, in the past history, in all the fleet decisive battles that took place in remote star areas, the fleets of both sides required wave jumps to enter the battlefield.

At this time, according to the empire's tactical code, it is necessary to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold and attack first.As long as the enemy is forced into refueling tactics, half the battle will be won.

Of course, there is also a more confident and ruthless method, allowing all the enemy fleets to enter the galaxy, gathering and annihilating them.Anyway, the passage of the gravity well is relatively narrow, and it is difficult to escape if it is all put in.

If the brave advance and the main force of the fortress garrison fleet are here, Admiral Selelius should choose the latter approach.But the fleet in his hands is limited now, and he has to allocate part of it to protect Yuanxiangxing, which is a bit stretched.

What's more, these marauder fleets were smart enough not to come directly into the range of Lion's Den Keep's fortress guns.They formed two groups of high-speed cruisers and began to clear the surrounding drone batteries.With twenty large warships as the core of the main force, an artillery formation was deployed.

Under the cover of the drone turret cluster, the two squadrons of the fortress began to engage the marauders, but the battle situation can only be said to be unbeatable.

After nearly two hours of fighting, the elite imperial fleet did sink more predator warships than its own side, but it still couldn't drive the opponent away.And when a dreadnought ship, towering like a fortress, jumped into the galaxy, they could only fight and retreat.

The action of the Imperial fleet was timely.You know, that Dreadnought is obviously a "fire-breathing" type. As soon as the hull stabilized, hundreds of gun holes were opened, and a large row of dense missiles and torpedoes were smashed out.If the Imperial Fleet takes one step slower, half of it will be wiped out in an instant.

But that's the case, the output of riding the face of the earth-shattering this time still completely tore the broken guardian ship into space garbage.

Admiral Celerius rejected the request of the admiral of the squadron to regroup and fight again, and ordered to return to the fortress for repairs.He knew that when the enemy's dreadnoughts had jumped into the galaxy and opened their guns, there was no point in continuing to fight.

However, as a lifelong veteran of the imperial army, although Selelius felt it was a pity, he was not too worried.After all, the Lion's Den Fortress where he was located was also a Sky Fort built by the empire with a lot of money, and there was no doubt about its protection or firepower.Even with a large fleet of more than a thousand ships formed with Titan ships as the core, it is impossible to break through its own defense from the outside.

In addition, Yuanxiang Star is also within the protection and defense of the fortress artillery fire, so there is no need to worry too much about the residents there being killed by looters.

The veteran decided to stick around and wait for help.Of course, in order to prevent being destroyed by the enemy one by one, he also ordered Lieutenant General Omoti, who was on the Titan ship Bravery, to gather the nearby patrol fleet and come to rescue.

Of course, the rescue information to Tianyu and Luyuanxing was also sent, and a response was received very quickly.

The bigwigs of the empire were naturally surprised, but they also agreed with Admiral Celerius' judgment that he was standing still and waiting for help, and said that the main fleet assembled on Deer Plain Star has already begun to switch to live ammunition, and will rush over soon Get rid of these flies.

What a ghost!You know, there are more than [-] large and small warships gathered on Luyuan Star and its surrounding areas—although nearly half of them belong to the empire's allies (xiao) friends (di).Even if the group of interstellar nomadic thugs all sprang out from the galaxy, they probably would all come up with this level of troops, right?
Moreover, the extreme frontier galaxy is a frontier galaxy after all. Although the population is not large, it bears the pressure of national defense, and there will be no shortage of various military factories.But no matter what, there are more than 300 warships, and there are more than [-] warships with more than [-] million tons.With so many warships to complete the live ammunition reloading, one can imagine how long it will take.

Thus, within the next twelve hours, the main force of the Marauder fleet, with six ugly battleships the size of dreadnoughts at its core, all entered the Lion's Den galaxy.By this time, the number of marauder fleets in Lion's Den Fortress had exceeded 500.Based on past battle experience with the Marauders, the opponent's crew and stormtrooper soldiers should have exceeded one million people.

Eighteen years ago, when the Marauders launched a rare attack on Lion's Den Fortress, it was this force.

...Of course, the result eighteen years ago was that the main force of the predators was smashed in front of the defense of the fortress.Ever since, Admiral Selelius remained very calm.He still feels that compared to the looters, the "ghost" who doesn't know the truth in the fortress is more threatening.

Wait, if the so-called "ghost" is a conspiracy of the predators, and wants to play with them, wouldn't it be troublesome?The veteran thought of this blind spot, and then thought of the refugee ship that came over some time ago, and all the logical problems were immediately connected.

"Indeed. So compared to the fleet, we may need the support of Transcendents more." Brigadier General Kesore, the security officer, nodded.

"So, where is the nearest psyker who can provide us with reinforcements?" The general asked the senior officers on the scene.

After a few seconds, a colonel in charge of outreach scheduling raised his hand and replied: "It is the Yaoguang Angel belonging to the Star Knights. They were assigned to the blue team under the command of Marshal Este during the exercise, and they have been on the The red team controls guerrilla warfare in the star field. The last confirmed position was four leaps away from us, 350 light-years away from the Tianjian 6 galaxy. The entire fleet includes a main angel-class armored aircraft carrier, three clear sky-class cruisers, Five Holy Shield-class cruisers and more than a hundred Star Knights are under the command of Brigadier General Shameen. The fleet commander is Rear Admiral Bai Ya."

Since it is a support fleet belonging to the Knights, it must be a full-staffed high-mobility warship, and it should only take two or three days to arrive at the fortress.Admiral Celerius heaved a sigh of relief, but then he realized that the problem now is that there is a fleet of predators outside the fortress, and the precious star knights can't be allowed to climb the tower on a boat, right?
Therefore, we still need our own fleet to rush to clear the field in the next step!

By four o'clock in the afternoon on October 10th, the main force of the predators had already launched their own queues and pressed forward in the direction of the Lion's Den Fortress, as if preparing to launch a general attack on the fortress.

At this time, it will take 18 hours before the Tyreiro Bravery arrives at the Lion's Den galaxy.It will take at least 40 hours before the Yaoguang Angel and the Star Knights arrive, if they can be contacted immediately.As for the arrival of the fleet from the Luyuan galaxy...then it is really unclear.

Of course, what Admiral Celerius on the Lion's Den Fortress didn't know was that apart from his Lion's Den Fortress, traces of the Predator Fleet had been found in almost all galaxies connected to the Milky Way in the Extreme Front Star Region.There is only one cruiser, and there are more than a dozen ships.Obviously, this is a small fleet of suspect soldiers.

In addition, before the Gate of Glory, another Sky Fortress guarding the Silver Heart of the Empire, a huge group of predators also appeared, even larger than before the Lion's Den Fortress.

At this point, normal people know that the predators who have always had periodic intermittent convulsions have reached the moment of convulsions again.

But at this moment on the Luyuan Star, the mobilization order was naturally quickly issued to all the exercise fleets, even including the "allies" fleets of the empire.Yes, the two Imperial Army bosses present, Marshal Este and King Solein, who also had the rank of Marshal, took over the command of all the fleets present in an almost rude manner.As for the commanders of the "Allied Forces", no matter what they think in their hearts, they can only smile on the surface and say that being the dog of the empire is the greatest happiness!
Of course, there are also members of the delegations from various countries on Luyuan Planet.

At this time, five days have passed since the mission of glory officially ended and the Colossus weapon was unveiled.Most of the members of the military observation group have already packed their bags and left Luyuan Planet. Who would have thought that such a big situation would happen.

The delegation of the Blue Star Community has not yet left. It is said that Admiral Maxell still has some business talks with the Empire, and four or five meetings were held accompanied by Major General Walter Lal.

After all, the empire and the community have not yet torn apart, so there is naturally room for deals and compromises.As the head of the observation team, the old headmaster will indeed undertake some diplomatic missions.

However, judging from this action, the rumors that the pro-imperial Communist Party is wooing his old man into politics are not groundless.

The alliance delegation didn't leave either, it was said that they were going to have a party with the Circe Kingdom.After all, there are many countries between the two countries, and it is rare to have any chance to meet together at ordinary times. At this time, we should celebrate with all our heart.Admiral Akbar, who looks like a big fat fish on the side of the alliance, thinks that the Circe, who looks like a snapping turtle, are very compatible. Isn't it reasonable?

In short, once, Yu Lian saw with his own eyes that General Akbar, who was [-] meters tall, and General Usti, who was over [-] meters tall, were walking shoulder to shoulder with a wine bottle on the street of Luyuan Xing, singing and dancing. Gao Ge, at first glance, it looks like a fat-headed fish spirit and a turtle spirit jumping up and down, ready to eat Tang's monk meat.

They followed their respective security guards not far away, as well as several plainclothes spies from the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs. This scene made Yu Lian feel quite friendly, so he ran over to say hello.

The two generals naturally knew Yu Lian, the "God's Chosen Champion", and said that no matter who it was, as long as he still slapped the imperial devils in the face, he was their half-brother of a different father and mother, and warmly invited him to join came in.

A human from Earth, a Montmori who looks like a big fathead fish, and a Circe who looks like a snapping turtle just found a bar and played until the early hours of the morning.During this period, Admiral Akbar also heard the news of the looters' invasion from the adjutant who came to look for him, and his big mouth almost grinned to his ears.

"Exciting, enjoyable!" He laughed loudly, gloating like a villain in front of the imperial intelligence personnel who were deployed nearby: "This should be the imperial ghost... the shot that the nobles slammed at Yinxin, stabbed Is there a hornet's nest?"

In fact, the alliance has fought against looters before, or because it is too rich, it is still a federal system, and the defense layout on the border is not balanced, and it is even more harmed by looters than the empire.

But still the same sentence, as long as you slap the imperial devil in the face, you will be the half-brother of Admiral Akbar's half-father and half-mother!
The one who is even more successful is Lieutenant General Usti, whose motherland is still in war.

He ordered a plate of the empire's famous dish "Golden Feast".To put it bluntly, this dish is to pour the golden-yellow soup boiled with big meat on the fried golden-yellow noodles.

The hot soup was poured on the noodle cakes, and the refreshing aroma, accompanied by the appetizing "sizzling" sound, immediately spread to the audience.

"This dish is called Bombing Heaven...ah no, region!" Lieutenant General Usti laughed.

This is a bit carried away!Yu Lian could clearly see that the expressions of the two plainclothes spies huddled in the corner of the bar changed.But it must be admitted that although the bar here is mainly wine and other drinks that make carbon-based mammalian intelligent creatures happy, this "Bombing Tianyu" is still quite delicious.

In short, in the next few days, General Akbar and Lieutenant General Usti seemed to be walking with wind.

Yu Lian took Feifei and several other small partners of the delegation to the dock and the military port to observe the battle preparation process of the fleet every day, but he had to admit that although they were facing a sudden enemy invasion, their battle preparation work It is indeed going on in an orderly manner, with amazing efficiency, so much higher than the community that I don't know where it is going.

"Actually, we learned our war planning and regulations from the empire, but unfortunately, all perfect regulations must be implemented by people." Yu Lian said to Feifei.

"Then try to change people." Feifei laughed.

"Isn't this what I'm working on?" Yu Lian held Feifei's hand instead.

The "old senior" Colonel Silva looked at it, thinking that I didn't hear anything you said today.

On the third day of observing the preparations of the empire, that is, on October 10th, when Yu Lian and Feifei returned to the hotel from the shipyard on the outskirts of the city, they had a whim and wanted to take the girl to the tavern to taste the incomparable taste Delicious "bombing sky".

However, when the two went out, they found that a luxury car with dragon-patterned chess pieces was already parked at the door, and the person waiting beside the car was Countess Giafell.

Wait, why did I say again?Thinking about it, Yu Lian sighed with emotion: "It's really haunting..."

With a smile, Feifei stretched out her crutch and gave Yu Lian a push, saying that it was really impolite.

No, the countess on the opposite side did show an awkward smile: "I feel offended... But, Colonel, and Fina, His Highness is indeed inviting you to dinner, and we have something to discuss. Don't worry, absolutely It's a good thing!"
