Interstellar: Conquering Crazy Commanders with Food

Chapter 55 The outbreak of war
But after a while, two giant ships penetrated into the orbit of star 5046, and the atmosphere rubbed against the ships to create some flames. Fei Ji said: "It is good news to have an atmosphere."

Having an atmosphere means that there is a great possibility of living beings.

Claire felt no jolts in her chair, staring at the thick white clouds in front of the safety window.

Numerous hailstones hammered on the hull, led by the frigate, and no hull was damaged.

When the ship successfully broke through the clouds and left the hail area, what came into view was a white wasteland with heavy snow falling, but after a while, there was a lot of accumulation in front of the window, which was quickly melted by the heating system.

The ship began to land, accompanied by the roar of mechanical operation.

The surface of the ground is white, and no sign of life activity can be detected.

"Minus 292 degrees Fahrenheit outside." An orc reported.

Cassius said with a heavy face, "Scan the glacier."

Fiji ran his fingers quickly on the control panel, and then concluded, "They should hide in a corner somewhere. There are liquid methane and ethane on the surface of these ice surfaces, which can provide part of their survival needs."

"Underground." Claire interjected, "Or in a cave, no one can survive the surface temperature alone without protective clothing."

"Very likely." Fei Ji glanced at her, "The harsher the planet's environment, the outposts are generally built underground."

Claire asked curiously: "Where is the general outpost built?"

"The canyon is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It cannot be penetrated, and it is easy to defend." Feiji replied quickly.

Everyone was silent for a while, and everyone looked at Cassius tacitly. They probably knew where he was.

Cassius stared at the desolate world outside, and said coldly: "Mark all the possible targets, send out reconnaissance planes, and the rest stay put."

The order was passed down one level at a time. Claire watched the man standing in front of the window with a calm face, feeling a little more nervous about the upcoming battle.

She had participated in the war more than once, but it was the first time to stand beside him and watch him command.

Cassius turned around and saw her staring at him in a daze. He walked up to her with half-closed eyes and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

According to the time of the mainstream star, it is already midnight, but the 5046 star is still full of day.

Claire shook her head: "I'm here to watch."

She wanted to wait for a result, and this result would definitely make her very uncomfortable.

Are those women really alive?After being successfully rescued?Falling from one tiger's den to another wolf's den, it is inevitable to lose control of the body and be enslaved again.

The property of the empire. Free men with broken wings.

Cassius lifted her chin, rubbed his thumb on her lips a few times, "What are you thinking?"

Her eyes were too dark and sad, and he didn't like this kind of eyes very much.

The orcs automatically avoided the interaction between the two and focused on what they were doing.

Claire looked up at him for a while, then suddenly took the initiative to take a step forward and hugged his waist, buried her face on the warm and firm chest, and said in a low voice, "Don't get hurt."

Her fingers gripped his military uniform very tightly, and her thin waist was not enough for Cassius to hold tightly. He patted her waist twice to comfort him. Some unhappiness dissipated.

Claire insisted on staying here, and Cassius let her go, but within half an hour the reconnaissance plane discovered the anomaly, and the pictures sent back by the scan were identified by Fei Ji as a hidden turret.

Covered under ice and snow, the top is round and stands in the form of a cylindrical icicle in the central area surrounded by glaciers on three sides.

All the reconnaissance planes sent out found the hidden turret one after another at the same location.

The conclusion speaks for itself, the pirates found it.

Cassius has always been vigilant. He did not let the reconnaissance plane enter the range of the turret, and only used the electronic binocular camera on the fuselage to zoom in to observe the ground.

Since it is underground, there must be an entrance.

Several reconnaissance planes hovered in the middle of the clouds, and after 10 minutes they found an extremely secret hole covered with a thin layer of ice.

It might have taken them even longer if Cassius hadn't paused the incoming images in time to find the difference in the thickness and color of the ice.

He issued instructions in an orderly manner, "The fighter plane spread out the commanding heights to attack all the turrets, and Feiji led a team to put on protective clothing and run into the entrance."

"Eliminate all pirates trying to escape around the frigate, and the reconnaissance plane continues to observe possible escape points. Our goal is to eliminate all pirates and rescue the empire's property. Everyone starts to act."

After saying those words, Claire instantly felt a murderous aura emanating from the entire cabin. All the orcs were different from the relaxed look in the cafeteria before, and there was a cold light in their eyes, full of murderous intent.

She saw dozens of fighter planes unlocking the locking device on the deck and turning into a meteor to rush to the destination, and the huge frigate next to it also started to move. Rush to the destination.

The bow main gun aimed at the outpost hidden under the ice.

From time to time, the orc's report came from Cassius's communication.

"The missile pod is on standby."

"The laser cannon is fully charged."

Claire wondered if Cassius planned to raze the base to the ground?
Soon, her idea was verified.

In her line of sight, all the forts that had been scanned clean were wiped out by fighter planes in just a few seconds.

After Fei Ji led the men to hammer open the hole and jumped in, he disappeared.

However, for about half an hour, the frigate suddenly started to attack the smoky surface that had just calmed down.

Everything was as Cassius expected. A considerable number of pirates escaped from the nearest escape route, and were surrounded and killed by missiles from the frigates that had been on standby early in the morning.

The ice layer exploded and shattered, like the sound of landslides and ground cracks.

In the original snow-white glacier valley, the glaring red was extremely eye-catching. Claire didn't look away, but stood silently behind Cassius, looking at the battlefield that could almost be called a one-sided massacre.

The difference in weapons and command made this group of pirates lose their mobility like ants under Cassius.

He calmly listened to the soldiers reporting the number of kills, his indifferent eyes did not show any emotional fluctuations, and he only reminded from time to time which direction there would be loopholes in the defense.

Claire watched with wide eyes, and suddenly found a mecha breaking through the ice from a crevice in the glacier not far away. She looked at the familiar mecha, and asked in great surprise: "Didn't it mean that there is only a neutral star like Menger?" Does the district need mecha guards? How did that mecha come about?"

The mecha discovered by her was soon discovered by the reconnaissance plane, and several fighter planes were ordered to rush there to carry out air strikes.

　Ahhhhh, Day 6 is so tiring.
