Him and their stars

Chapter 691 The Blizzard Observing Secretly
Seeing the continuous stream of predator ships pouring into the galaxy, Colonel Sobaek almost wanted to cry, feeling that he must have offended the spirit of the universe during this time, and he will bid farewell to good luck from now on.

Otherwise, how could he, an ordinary military officer who just wanted to live a little life and begged for a promotion and a fortune to restore his family name, accepted the elite's task of reconnaissance behind enemy lines?Why was it almost wiped out by a large army of predators trapped in a small galaxy next to the Abyss Nebula?Why did he breathe a sigh of relief? After three or five days of easy life, the predators came to the door again?
Although most of the predator ships that came over were dilapidated, and they looked like they had just escaped from the battlefield, but no matter what, there were hundreds of ships, including two dreadnought ships.

He knew that he should have been in the most dangerous situation in this reconnaissance mission.If the other party finds himself, he has absolutely no reason to survive.

Fortunately, the paralyzed face produced by his crisis instinct prevented him from really crying, so the crew also calmed down after a short panic.

"Don't be afraid, the remnants of the marauders should retreat temporarily and regroup here." The experienced captain Hongsha said to everyone: "They are more panicked than us. Come search us."

that's the truth.The orbital cargo depot you are in is located behind the gas giant planet in our galaxy, the planet Modan 4.The huge brown-yellow giant planet just blocked between its own side and the predator fleet, and of course blocked almost all detection signals.If it weren't for the obvious space shock signal of the dreadnought's jump into the galaxy, and the fact that the Blizzard is only for reconnaissance, and it is equipped with the latest radar and sensors, it may be difficult to find the other party.

"Let's hide here for a while and continue to observe one or two." Sobaek also regained his composure and said to everyone.

The key is that there is no way to hide here now. Once the Blizzard engine is activated, who knows if the other party will notice some clues.

"We still need to send a report to the Grand Marshal's Mansion, saying that the remnants of the enemy soldiers have been regrouped here." Captain Hongsha said: "Your officer has found a protoplasmic wave receiver on the space station, which can send encrypted messages."

Will be found out?The corner of Sobaek's mouth twitched. The power of the source wave signal is very high, and he didn't wear a military shielding device, so he frowned and said, "Is there no other way? The mining site belongs to the Xinghe Standard Mining Group. This is a royal enterprise, and the equipment should be very advanced, but considering the management cost, it is impossible to use expensive source matter waves, right?"

"Instead, there is a gravitational wave center that can automatically issue mining or collection orders to robots. Miners usually use this to communicate with Luyuan's branch headquarters. However, it may take nearly a week for the news here to reach Luyuan. I can send some emails. Uh, it’s a way!” Captain Hongsha’s eyes lit up.

what way?Colonel Soback thought.

"If it is a high-power source wave signal, if it is found by the predator fleet, it will immediately determine that there is our reconnaissance fleet nearby, and they will definitely flee." The captain said.

Uh, I'm afraid they will wipe us out first after they find out.Sobaek wanted to say that, but nodded subconsciously with a straight face.

"But we use gravitational waves to communicate automatically, and the predators will not care if they detect it. This kind of communication signal is for civilian use, and it is everywhere in the universe. As long as we use military ciphertext, they will have no way to intercept and decipher it. "Captain Hongsha dragged his chin and thought about it: "As long as a little modification is made, the wide-area broadcast can be carried out. But even under the most optimistic situation, it will take several days for Lu Yuanxing to receive it!"

"Isn't the fleet of His Royal Highness King Suliuka and Admiral Farrell in the lion's den?" the first officer reminded.

Captain Hongsha's eyes lit up, and he patted Colonel Sobaek on the shoulder: "Yes, yes, besides His Royal Highness King Suliuka, there should be local fleets coming nearby. Let's send out the signal, and the reinforcements will arrive soon." Came here from all directions. Is that what you mean?"

Colonel Sobaek chuckled, feeling that his skin was not thick enough, so he said modestly: "No, this is the method you and everyone came up with. Based on this, I will be able to apply for a medal for you after the war."

The non-human and non-noble officers present were a little moved, and even Captain Hongsha, the old fried dough stick, looked at Sobaek with a hint of respect.As a result, their subsequent work will be even harder.

The wide-area signal was sent out quickly, and the feedback was received within an hour, which was so fast that Sobaek was startled.It was later that they discovered that the responder was not King Suluka who was still in the Lion's Den, nor was it the local garrison fleet that rushed over nearby. It was indeed the main force of the garrison fleet that had just sent the seriously injured Yongjin back to the fortress where Sarna was taking shelter.

The garrison fleet of Lion's Den Fortress is indeed in a bit of a mess.They were flanked by the "rebel" Lion's Den Fortress and the Marauders. The titan ship and flagship Tirilo Bravery was seriously injured, and the fleet commander, Lieutenant Admiral Amodi, was seriously injured and unconscious. Nearly half of the officers in the headquarters and staff were killed on the spot.Almost all the main warships suffered light or heavy damage, and even double-digit large and medium-sized warships remained in that star field forever.

If it weren't for the looters who didn't even think about attacking the hinterland of the empire, they might even be wiped out there.

According to common sense, no matter what kind of fleet it is, after enduring such a tragic defeat, it will take a long time to recover its morale.Even the Grand Marshal's Mansion temporarily removed this garrison fleet from the chessboard when formulating defense and counter-offensive plans.

However, after the seriously injured ships and crews were sent to Sarna, the remaining soldiers of the empire were aroused to become fierce.This is because their most senior officer in active service, the person who was the deputy commander of the fleet at the time, was an Imperial Rear Admiral named Fritz Buffik.

This is a major general who has just turned [-] years old. The reason why he occupies such a high position at such a young age is because he is the contemporary Earl of Kaunis and a psychic with the third ring.More importantly, this person is indeed an excellent commander who regards death as home and is brave and staunch.

When he was still a captain, he drove a light cruiser to beat a dozen pirate ships twice as big and tonnage as him by the head.

When he became the admiral of a patrolling and guarding fleet, he had many records of counter-charging against multiple enemies and achieving great victories.

This is certainly due to the good performance of the Imperial warships and the well-trained crew, but the courage and bravery shown by Rear Admiral Bifik at the command post must not be ignored.

Even the emperor had heard of his name, saying that the orange-haired boy had "the appearance of a famous general."

In short, with the military merit system of the empire, even if Major General Bifik is not a son of a nobleman or a transcendent person, he will definitely be able to be awarded the star of general by virtue of his military exploits before the age of forty.

Now, due to the muddleheaded defeat of his own fleet, this brave general was in an extremely bad mood, and when he returned to Sarna with a fleet full of wounded and sick, he received news of the death of his most admired uncle.

Yes, Major General Bifik's uncle is the Grand Knight Commander Seriola who died on the planet Sarna.

Now, the news of the Great Knight Commander's demise is still the top secret of the empire, but the Academy of Arms still notified his close relatives of the bad news.

Therefore, the fierceness of this young fierce general is about to breed into a frenzy, and he urgently needs to destroy some enemies to decompress,

After the wounded and seriously damaged warships were properly settled, he felt that he had nothing to fear.At this time, he also received a wide-area communication from the Modan galaxy, and after looking at the star map, he suddenly realized that there were actually a group of predators here.And I am the nearest imperial fleet to them.

Rear Admiral Bifik persuaded the remaining captains and senior officers with his personality charm (physical) to reorganize the fleet.Before receiving the order from the Grand Marshal's Mansion, he rushed towards the Modan Starfield in a mighty manner.

Since Sobaek is going to study at the Royal Naval Academy after this battle, he has learned about the list of the new generation of famous generals of the empire. daimyo.

It is also a young man who even the emperor praised as having "the appearance of a famous general", and a great nobleman. Isn't this the kind of person Sobaek urgently needs to make acquaintance with?
He said that no matter who it is, as long as he wants to lick...ah no, as long as it is a colleague who comes to actively attack the predator, he must help out.

However, how to help also needs to pay attention to the method and method.After all, they only have one ship, so they can't be used as cannon fodder in the decisive battle of hundreds of warships.

"Just right, I learned a lot at the God of War Festival." Colonel Sobaek was full of confidence, feeling the power of knowledge for the first time.

Captain Hongsha looked at the opponent who suddenly ignited, and couldn't help shivering, feeling that he had seen this face somewhere before.

All in all, the imminent battle of remnant soldiers against remnant soldiers was indeed facilitated by the Blizzard who was hiding here and observing secretly.

It's just that the looters didn't know what kind of army was coming, so they made up their minds to meet the opponent here.As they started to form the fleet, they began to search the Modan galaxy where they are now - since they decided to fight, they must be familiar with the battlefield in advance.

They soon discovered that there were actually two gaseous collection wells and a deep lava core mine on this planet, both of which were handled by automatic robots.

General Huitan's eyes lit up when he got the news, and he felt that the spirit of the universe had finally opened his eyes.

After all, this guy is also a graduate of the Alliance Gloren Military Academy, and an excellent admiral should have at least above-average knowledge in military engineering, so he immediately made a calculation.

"Solid gas should be produced in the collection well! In addition to being used as spare fuel, it can also be used to fill the warhead of missiles. With some changes, it can also be used as the energy core of energy cannons. As for deep core mines on lava planets, it can also be used occasionally. Guess the zero element. Even if there is no, there must be a lot of precious minerals, ah, no, what is important now is not precious minerals, but some heavy element minerals! But it can strengthen armor, cast orbital shells, and even make treasures. tools."

After all, they are nomads in the astral world. Many large ships of the Marauders have small production equipment, and they occasionally bring work ships with them when they are engaged in guerrilla raids.Now, the fleet in Huitan's hands has two medium-sized workships, which can produce spare armor and ship parts.On his own flagship, the Scarlet Monarch, there is even a mobile arsenal that he dug out from a ruin of an Enlightened One in the center of the galaxy.

Of course, the last one is his own secret, General Huitan.Even the Great Khan, his close comrade-in-arms General Lange, who was no longer alive or dead, didn't know.

In short, before going to war with the imperial fleet, he was able to get one last chance to supply supplies, which made the leader of the long-bearded demon warlord finally show his first smile after losing the battle.

However, just as he was thinking about it, someone from his subordinates came to report that the troll fleet on the opposite side had already sent a ship to the automatic mine first.

Oops!I forgot that kid Nilgada also took an online course on military technology!And since he was a child, he was a bad embryo who snatched lollipops from his friends. He didn't look like a troll at all, but more like a cunning and greedy Karda goblin. He was not in the same style as his loyal and honest father!
General Huitan was not at all surprised that this guy wanted to eat alone.

"Quick! Send our boat there right away! You can't be eaten by that kid alone!"

In the next hour, the troll and the long-bearded demon had a fierce and frank negotiation on the ownership of the automatic mine and the gas well - don't get me wrong, there was no conflict, at most, the crew of the two sides expressed each other with their fists One opinion, didn't even move a knife.

After all, neither Huitan nor Nilgada are idiots, so of course they know the priorities.If it is really because of this incident, let alone defeating the Imperial Fleet later, it is estimated that it will be passed down as a joke to the next century.

In the end, the two sides negotiated, and it happened that there were two mine shafts and two gas wells, so they could be divided equally.

However, to their slight disappointment, there were not many materials stored in the warehouse of the automatic mine.

And when they checked the control terminal of the automatic mine, they suddenly discovered that there was actually a cargo transfer platform in this galaxy, hiding behind the brown-yellow gas giant planet.

Most of the goods must be placed on the transfer platform, and the two sides hurried over, finally accepting a space station full of fuel and minerals.

Of course, it is not only the materials that are valuable, but also the fuel compression workshop and the special ore fine grinding workshop on the freight platform.Although these two automated instruments are for civilian use, they are not technologies that they, the remnants of the predators, can master.

With them, the efficiency of resupply is even higher.

However, General Huitan searched a bit more on the space station, and always felt that someone had been here before, and he didn't go far.I asked Nilgada on the opposite side, and found that this guy also felt the same way.

Have imperial ships been here?And just left not long ago?
The bearded demon and the troll quickly came to this conclusion, and couldn't help feeling horrified.They guessed that it should be a scout ship of the empire, not a large fleet with powerful combat capabilities, but it was still suspended.It feels like there is always a ghost hiding in that dark corner in this Modan galaxy in Nuo Da, peeping at him secretly.

This space station won't do anything, right?

The two looked at each other, and ordered their subordinates to quickly evacuate all the materials.Of course, they didn't forget to remove the compressor and refiner and put them on their flagship.

The level of manufacturing and scientific research of the predators may be limited, but the level of dismantling things has always been very high.

After the packing was completed, General Huitan was still thinking about sending people to search to see if he could find the imperial scout ship that had been hiding somewhere.But at this time, there was another report that the imperial fleet had entered the galaxy next door, and it would arrive after another leap.Conservative estimates, that is four to five hours.

"It came too fast! This is not a formality." General Huitan couldn't help but glared at the troll, thinking that this guy had made a misjudgment and was probably going to kill himself.
