Chapter 906 History of the First Firefight
Most of the officers and soldiers of the Thirteenth Fleet were lawless people. Of course, they immediately sent Eleanor's "greetings" over, using the wide-area clear code broadcast.Major General Mark Love couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.

One can imagine the level of ridicule in this broadcast.

If the imperial officers on board were a little more narrow-minded, they might have already gritted their teeth and fought back by this time.However, this Luzhou No. 177 cruiser was able to escape from the devil's labyrinth and the predators' pursuit, among other things, at least the degree of shame should have been cultivated to another level.

As long as they didn't have all the communication equipment down, they must have received the "blessing" sent by their own side, but the imperial battleship still seemed to be unresolved, and continued to move forward, not only did not slow down at all, even the flight trajectory of the ship None of the yaw.It's as if the Earth fleet in this galaxy doesn't exist at all.

Eleanor Bonaparte looked at the imperial warship that was scarred but still escaped steadily, and wanted to express her sympathy and admiration, but she really couldn't.

In any case, an imperial warship that had been out of contact for two months and was considered to be a shipwreck returned home, followed by two menacing pursuers. What should this mean?

"Nine times out of ten the maze has been cracked." Eleanor gathered her thoughts, and said in a firm tone: "Because of the cracking, the Luzhou 177 was able to get out of trouble. It was also because of the cracking that the predator's battleship I want to observe the situation closer. The two sides will meet."

Of course, Eleanor's judgment has no basis, but it does sound quite reasonable.

Subsequent developments seemed to further confirm her judgment.The two Marauders and the Earth Fleet stared at each other for nearly three minutes, and then slowly retreated towards the gravity well behind them.

They didn't turn around, and kept pointing straight ahead with dense gun ports, as if they were afraid of being attacked by the earthlings.After drawing another distance, to make sure that the opponent did not rush over immediately, he quickly turned the bow of the ship, started the jump engine and drilled into the gravity well, disappearing on the spot.

"It was only [-]% before, but now I am at least [-]% sure that the maze has indeed been cracked!" Eleanor was full of confidence.

Some captains proposed to pursue them directly, but the latter rejected it after thinking about it: "I'm not sure if all this is a trap for the predators, we still need more information."

Mark Love is very pleased. Although his "deputy" is actually the real commander, although he is young and has always followed the route of a brave man who leads the crowd to charge, he is still a top student in the Department of Strategic Studies and a member of the Tiger Talisman Team. sober.

"Officer Yang said that we can make a decision on the fly." The old engineer expressed his absolute support for Eleanor.

Facts have proved that sometimes, patience is very necessary.The Thirteenth Fleet waited on the spot for less than 4 hours. At 5:17 on May 21th, the standard time, the gravity well pointing to the devil's labyrinth sent another signal.

This time the gravitational signal fluctuated very obviously, and the mass signal of the ship had already been captured by the people on Earth before the main body of the ship entered the galaxy.

"One large fire-breathing ship, two large motherships, and twelve medium-sized ships!" The radar officer quickly made a judgment, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "There are no dreadnoughts."

"If the enemy escapes again this time, I will definitely not be a trap." Eleanor Bonaparte said with a smile: "The predators are definitely not rich enough to use so many warships as bait."

"It may also be because our fish is not big enough." Mark Love said.

Moreover, you don't seem to have considered the possibility of our failure!Don't forget, the opponent's strength is the advantage!After all, the old man did not say the second half of the sentence.

On May 832, 5 in the common calendar, at 17:21 space standard time, the first battle between the Thirteenth Fleet from the Commonwealth and the Predator Fleet in the "Magic Labyrinth" star field began.

In fact, Commodore Eleanor Bonaparte's confidence as fleet commander was not without purpose.She had already guessed that once the "labyrinth" collapsed, even if the predators wanted to confirm the safety of the waterway, they would definitely set up a fleet with considerable combat effectiveness to find out.

As a result, the first large fire-breathing ship that jumped out of the gravity well was hit by three antimatter torpedoes on the spot, and the most ferocious main gun part of the bow was severely damaged.At the moment when there was an obvious gap in the frontal firepower of the ship, the four destroyers also accelerated to close the distance, and smashed out twelve more proton torpedoes on the spot.

This large enemy ship, which is comparable in size to a battle cruiser, was hit by four torpedoes in the middle of the cabin. Although it was not sunk, the entire hull slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had been discounted by the knees. Middle-aged social animals.

Several predator ships that appeared later were also surrounded by the earth fighters that had been cruising here for a long time.These ferocious fire-breathing boats didn't even have time to fully activate the air defense system before they were riddled with holes.

To be honest, this kind of operation where the opponent rushes up and rides face to output output before jumping out of the gravity well is somewhat disrespectful of martial arts.If it is placed on the mainland of the galaxy, even if it wins, it will be criticized by public opinion.

However, this is a new continent, and the opponents are predators. They have already been expelled from the galaxy, of course they are not human, at least not civilized, so there is no need to talk about the rules of the rivers and lakes.

In short, after the oncoming three-axes, the Predator Fleet was obviously stunned. Facing the Earth Fleet, which was at a disadvantage in overall strength, it immediately fell into a disadvantage.

Of course, even if there is no winner in this battle, history will definitely leave a record in black and white: In this joint battle to wipe out the looters, the community was the first to exchange fire with the enemy.

On the same day, almost at the same time, the Imperial Vanguard Fleet in the Iris Cross galaxy has all arrived in the NR18 galaxy.As the commander of the fleet, His Royal Highness Suliuka King Brunhilt also logically took over the fast fleet mainly composed of various types of cruisers from the Kaitai and Bakwe.

As a result, the number of ships under her command exceeded five hundred in an instant, including one Titan and six Battlecruisers.

Ninety-five percent of the countries and regimes in the entire galaxy would not be able to produce such a fleet even if they exhausted all their power.But for the expeditionary force sent by the empire to the New World, this is really just an outpost fleet.

However, in this same galaxy, the community that had been "confronted" with the Empire for three months now only had a temporary residential outpost and three formation military armed freighters left.

Now, this outpost, which can only accommodate more than a thousand people, has naturally been surrounded by the empire's fleet.

Although the earth officers and soldiers on the outpost kept issuing warnings to the opposing imperial warships, since the opposing side acted as if they were going to play hooligans to the end, no matter what they did, their own side would appear particularly weak.

But what can everyone do?You can't use the small defensive guns on the outpost that can only hit meteorites and pirate landing craft at most, right?
Yang Xiyi had to admit that if the side with superior strength really wanted to play hooligans, it would be really tricky for him.

"Eating supper in the siege of the imperial army actually has a special taste." Yang Xiyi smiled to his subordinates: "You have never been surrounded by an elected emperor and millions of imperial soldiers in your life, have you? This may be the pinnacle of your life, but you must experience this feeling well."

The officers and soldiers in the outpost looked at the guns of the battleship less than [-] meters away from the porthole of the outpost, and guessed that after the peak of their life, they should have no life, and they were all about to cry.

However, Yang Xiyi told them again: "Don't be afraid, the empire won't fire. They just want us to experience the pressure of criticism, but as long as we don't embarrass ourselves, others will be embarrassed!"

Having said that, if ordinary people really have such psychological qualities, they will never be ordinary people.In order to relieve the pressure, Yang Xiyi took the remaining one hundred officers and soldiers in the outpost to the observation platform on the top floor, opened the closed armored roof, leaving only a transparent dome, and then opened the BBQ and Hot Pot Conference.

After such an operation, the embarrassment and fear of the officers and soldiers were successfully alleviated.After drinking a few cups of yellow soup, everyone felt that they were filled with courage from Tianlinggai to tailbone, and they simply started singing and dancing on the dome.At the end, the officers and soldiers of No. [-] hooked up their shoulders and began a chorus amidst the strong crowd of hundreds of warships of the Imperial Army and thousands of cannons of different sizes.They first sang from the community anthem "Anchor Lifting March" to the national anthem "Free Terra", and then sang the anthem "Fen Xun" of the Lion Heart Society, and finally, under the leadership of Yang Xiyi, they sang "The People's voice".

This is a song that was just created last year. The lyrics were written by Mr. Qi, and the famous left-wing musician of the empire, Sir Shangai, was composed. It includes the version in the common language of the earth and the version in the imperial language.Now, Mr. Qi is ready to use this song as one of the anthems of the newly established Pioneer Party.

However, this song "The Voice of the People" was sung for the first time in the New World. The officers and soldiers of the chorus community were not aware of the power it would represent in the future, but they really felt that although they were only in the The small sentry stands on the one-acre three-point land on the roof, but they are the embodiment of the people, the unyielding will, and the heroes standing in the light!

The imperial army had probably never seen such a scene, and for a while they really showed obvious discomfort, so they stopped the ship on the spot.Several assault landing craft approaching the outpost also returned on the spot.

At this time, a communication from the Dawn Angel also came, but it was the Chief of Staff of the Imperial Fleet, Ms. Ostana Barr.She is a major general, and Yang Xiyi is also a major general, so they happen to be equal in terms of foreign affairs etiquette.

Although Miss Ostana is a very bookish beauty with a smile on her face [-] hours a day, her eyes are still oppressive when she smiles and says nothing.The ordinary officers and soldiers who were singing and dancing met her eyes, and immediately realized that they were bullshit children in their school days but were made a serious experience by the dean of students.

The aura that was fearless in the face of thousands of troops before began to wilt now.

Yang Xiyi sighed inwardly.Yu Lian once told him that King Suliuka's subordinates are all women.He finally believed it now.

Ms. Ostana glanced at the scene, and finally caught her gaze on Yang Xiyi.The latter obviously had a little confidence in his own shame, but at this moment, facing those fiery red eyes that seemed to be emitting fiery beams, he was actually stared at a little stressed.

Then she smiled and said, "Although it's the first time we met, I've known you for a long time. However, General Yang, I also know the allusion to "Empty City Strategies". You won't be planning to use the same trick for the second time, right? "

Yang Xiyi said: "General Barr was joking. NR18 is a public star field, you and your fleet can do anything. Similarly, my subordinates and I can do anything in our own outpost. We are just doing team building. , eating hot pot and singing.”

"Hot pot is a good thing. My Highness told me that there is no more all-encompassing delicacy than hot pot. Although I think she is parroting her tongue, it still makes sense." She paused, then laughed again: " Since you set up all the hot pot stalls in front of us, and you are still singing and dancing, does it mean that, at least in this environment, we are still friendly forces. The army of looters and the snakes behind them are the real enemies. "

Yang Xiyi smiled and nodded.The dialogue was so impeccable that he couldn't find a place where he could stop nodding.

"So, are you willing to tell me frankly that the reason why you transferred all the fleets is because the maze has been cracked?"

Yang Xiyi said sincerely: "I just asked them to carry out routine exploration tasks. The devil's labyrinth is too dangerous, and more people can take care of them, and maybe the survival rate will be higher."

"Then, what does the cracking of the Devil's Labyrinth have to do with Colonel Yu Lian, who has been missing for nearly a month?"

Yang Xiyi shrugged and said, "I can't say that there must be a relationship, but I can only say that everything we do is a choice of fate."

Ostana continued: "Then, the last time the looters attacked your country's New Yumen Gate, I heard that there was an undeveloped enlightened ruins there. What does it have to do with this matter?"

Yang Xiyi's heart beat faster.He knew that with the scale of the Enlightened One's ruins, it was unrealistic to keep it completely secret, but the intelligence capabilities of the empire could always surprise and frighten people.

Of course, on the surface he remained unmoved, and calmly said: "The universe is huge, and coincidences happen from time to time. What we have to do is to learn to sit on the sidelines calmly and wait for the follow-up."

Major General Barr said: "It is true, but as decision makers, we cannot take coincidences as common sense. Members of the Predators and Snakes also launched a sneak attack on your country's New Yumen Planet in March. It is hard to say that they are not fighting The doctrine of the Relic of the Enlightened One. This relic is very related to the success or failure of our expedition. Now that General Yang has sent all your fleets, there will definitely be a vacancy in the defense of New Yumen. Why don’t you and our two countries How about joining together and conducting another joint conservation expedition to that ruin?"

Yang Xiyi pondered for a while, before he sighed: "General Barr, you were actually conveying the meaning of His Royal Highness King Suliuka just now, right?"

Ostana smiled without saying a word.

"Then please tell her that as a soldier of the community, I have my own stand. However, please rest assured that I may have my own little tricks, but the community will never become a breach of the covenant." the culprit,"

"I have received your apology. I will inform His Highness in detail," said Miss Chief of Staff.

Yang Xiyi suddenly felt a terrible headache, always felt like a phantom beast breeder who was comforting a hungry dragon, and immediately cast a sympathetic look at Miss Ostana Barr opposite.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Barr!"
