Him and their stars.

Chapter 744 Encounter

Colonel Yeager Soback is caught in the middle of a fierce battle between heaven and man.He looked at Yu Lian who was in deep thought again, and felt that this guy should be willing to take this risk with his usual sexuality, right?

However, if he was really attacked by the ambushes of the looters or some other strange enemy, this guy would definitely abandon me and run away without hesitation.

He hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, I have been to this galaxy before."

Looking at Colonel Yu Lian and his adjutant lady, he added: "I have served in the Colonial Fleet of the Governor's District for three years before, and served as the captain of the charge and the chief gunner on the cruiser No. 141 of Sir Vika. I once explored the channel in that direction with the fleet. However, as the current star map shows, it has reached the tree shepherd A galaxy, and then the border D912 galaxy, which is considered to be the end."

The frontier D912 galaxy is exactly at the end of the flight path Feifei drew on the star map, and to get there from the Tree Shepherd A galaxy actually only needs two jumps.

"We've come to the end of the way, and after some daily exploration, we still found nothing. On our way back, when we passed the Tree Shepherd A galaxy, we encountered a pirate fleet of considerable size."

"Pirate?" Fei Feiqi said, "But it can be seen from the star map that there is only one route."

"Exactly. The black (meow) channel and the underground intelligence organization always control the official unknown channel." Sobaek said helplessly.

In fact, the government has also grasped the unknown channel of the public, but your level has not yet reached that point.Yu Lian thought.

"You mean to say that the predator's fleet is likely to retreat from the channels controlled by the pirate groups?" Feifei asked: "In this way, it is also possible to ambush through these unknown channels and cut off our retreat. "

Colonel Yeager Soback nodded heavily: "This is indeed a very important aspect!" However, after hesitating for a moment, he said: "However, when we fought against the pirates, we lost. "

Yu Lian and Feifei exchanged glances, and they both saw the surprise flashing in each other's eyes.

Of course, the empire’s fleet in the colonies cannot be compared with the local imperial guard fleet. The quality of the single-wheeled crew is not as good as that of the local star zone guard fleet and the prince’s fleet. But even so, the imperial army is still the imperial army. The lower limit is beyond the reach of most countries.In any case, they shouldn't be defeated by pirates...

Well, in this universe with extraordinary powerhouses and holy relics of previous civilizations, there are still many stories about Robin Hood.There are also examples of imperial fleets overturning in the hands of pirates, but these are all based on the thousands of years of history in the age of great exploration in the universe.In fact, if any pirate really became a warship of the Imperial Army, he would definitely be the most handsome guy in the underworld in the universe in the past ten years.

As a result, nothing was revealed.If only the empire blocked the news, it would be impossible. It could only mean that the pirates on the opposite side also intended to cooperate.

Sobak continued: "We did lose, but it was really inexplicable. When we found the pirate fleet, before we had time to prepare to start shelling, the shield generator and radar on the ship were interfered. Immediately afterwards, It was a sudden shelling from a long distance."

"The pirates have mastered this level of firepower?" Feifei was even more puzzled.

"This, I dare not say. At least the shelling did not come from the pirate fleet we discovered, but from other directions. Maybe they have ambushes. There are too many lawless places in the New World, and the scale of the pirate group is unimaginable in the local area. Yes." Sobaek thought for a while, and added: "The last time the pirates attacked us in the Tree Shepherd galaxy was the fleet of 'Greenbeard' Ordgoth."

This is a familiar name. Its active stage spans the New World and the Milky Way galaxy. It can be regarded as a mafia chief who roars across the galaxy. In terms of reputation and strength, he can also be ranked among the top five great pirate kings in the universe.

Of course, how did the pirate fleet cross the stargate and freely come and go between the two major galaxies... I can only say that I understand everything I know, and I don’t need to be serious if I don’t understand it.These days, knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.

However, Yu Lian felt that he had vaguely heard someone mention the phenomenon described by the other party. After thinking for a while, he said to Sobaek, "It's better for you to return to the storm as soon as possible."

Seeing that the other party still wanted to say something, Yu Lian interrupted: "The soldiers of the empire on that ship believed, but they didn't believe me. To put it bluntly, if a battle broke out, they might be worried that I would find someone For the first time, let you die in the chaos army reasonably and legally."

Colonel Sobaek's mouth twitched.Since this guy said that, he must have put this idea on the agenda.Sure enough, he felt he had to get back on board the Blizzard at once.

At this time, Yu Lian had already made a decision: "Go ahead with the notice, change the direction of march, and go to the Tree Shepherd A galaxy. We did receive bad news, but bad news is better than no news at all."

Sobaek felt that not only did he need to rush back to the Blizzard, but he even asked the captain and the others to be prepared to run away at any time.He felt that Yu Lian must be ready to use himself and Blizzard as cannon fodder, so he must also be prepared for the same.

For the next three days, everything was fairly calm.Yu Lian still maintains a sleep time of less than six hours a day, trying to do all the daily affairs to perfection.

As for Colonel Sobaek who has returned to the Blizzard, of course the same is true.For the next three days, all the soldiers on the ship kept their combat readiness at the highest level. They were even more nervous than when they were conducting reconnaissance in the enemy's rear area last month, which made the whole army a little mentally weak.

However, such tension is not without meaning.At least, when the two ships arrived at the Sea Spirit Alpha Galaxy, which was still one jump away from the Tree Shepherd A Galaxy, the Imperial radar officer who had been on combat readiness received a clear distress signal.And it is instant, which can explain that the other party is in the galaxy.

After getting permission from Yu Lian, the Blizzard broke away from the formation, kept a constant speed, and headed towards the direction of the distress signal little by little in a fighting posture. Then, behind a satellite on an earth-like barren planet, a ship lying on the ground was seen. A dying Imperial destroyer in a crater.

The condition of this Apocalypse Eagle-class Type 3 destroyer is indeed miserable enough. Only two-thirds of the hull remained, and the other third was smashed into the desert more than two hundred kilometers away, scattered everywhere. are parts and pieces.Of course, the condition of the two-thirds of the hull is generally intact, but the scarred scratches on it may not be mentioned, and the various damaged accessories can also be ignored, but the most fatal damage is A transparent hole in the center of the ship was directly pierced by railgun shells no matter how it looked.

Generally speaking, after a ship is pierced, it will definitely cause structural damage, triggering a chain reaction that causes the entire ship to collapse.And this destroyer has persisted until now, it can only be said that the sky is full of blessings.

Captain Hongshan was preparing to arrange a rescue team to search and rescue the survivors on board according to the usual combat practices, but Sobaek trembled and whispered: "Don't forget about the Lion's Den Fortress!"

Now, almost all high-ranking military officers already know that the predators have unknown biological weapons in their hands.As a result, many previous tactical drills had to be replaced.

Fortunately, after the supplement at the Gate of Glory, the current personnel on the two ships are still very complete, including professional rescue teams of course.Colonel Sobaek then ruled out the two landing craft and sent down a company of stormtroopers and two professional medical and insecticide teams.

Passing through the nearly scrapped destroyer, they found the survivors who were hiding behind the thick isolation door of the bridge. There were 4 officers and 28 non-commissioned officers, and they were the only survivors left on the destroyer.

Fortunately, no alien monsters were found on the ship.However, Sobaek still didn't dare to be too big, and didn't take these people back to his ship immediately, but provided some space suits and supplies.

The most senior surviving officer, an unimportant first mate of a Wolverine, told Sobaek through the comms channel that they were the cruiser Saber-toothed Tiger's wing ship, which had been attacked three days ago.Our side fought and fled back to this galaxy, but due to the serious damage to the ship, we could only make an emergency landing on this satellite.The captain and most of the crew were also killed in the previous battle and the impact of the final forced landing.

As for the situation of the cruiser Saber-toothed Tiger that Sobak was most concerned about, the first mate of the Wolverine recalled that the enemy concentrated most of their firepower on the biggest target, which was the Saber-toothed Tiger.The moment before one's own battleship jumped out and escaped, he had already witnessed the complete destruction of the Saber-toothed Tiger.

Sobaek lowered his eyelids, mourned for his old boss for three seconds, and then asked: "So, what kind of enemy is it? Is it an ambush from the marauders?"

On the big round face of the Wolverine's first mate, who looked as majestic as a bear, there was obvious fear and trance.It can be seen that he is indeed worried about the previous scene, but it is more of an unbelievable sense that the three views have been subverted.

"What happened to that wound? Was it hit by a Marauder's railgun?" Captain Hongshan also asked.

The first mate said gruffly: "Actually, was it hit by a stone?"

Sobaek and Hongshan looked at each other, feeling that this guy was really beaten to the point of losing his mind, he couldn't help feeling sympathetic, and was about to comfort him, but the bridge received a communication request from the Scarlet Throne.

After turning on the communication, Yu Lian said straight to the point: "Let the survivors hide. The direction of the Shepherd galaxy has captured the transition signal, at least three digits or more."
