Chapter 392 This is a misunderstanding

Following Xu Lei's order, after the entire ship watched an assault ship approach the core area of ​​the wormhole, it disappeared from sight in an instant, and entered the so-called space channel to reach a strange and unknown galaxy in a short time.

Xu Lei Lei Zhan and others in the command hall of the main ship saw this scene in their eyes.

Although the target had disappeared, he still didn't look back, and he was still a little worried while expecting nervously.

If the structure of the wormhole here is indeed stable, and the other end is safe and sound, then the dispatched assault ship should return safely soon. After all, this is the function of the birth of the wormhole in the universe.

Essentially no different from Stargate.

It's just that one is completely built by man-made construction, and the other belongs to natural birth.

To be precise, Xu Lei is still quite nervous at this moment, for fear that there will be unexpected changes that will affect the fleet.

If the assault ship that first went to the wormhole to explore never returned, then whether to continue to send warships in, but if you give up using this wormhole, you will not be able to reach the pioneer galaxy in a short time.

It is a dilemma.

As for Lei Zhan beside him at this time, he seemed to be able to guess Xu Lei's mood, so he just paid attention to the changes in the wormhole on the screen and didn't ask about it.

Facts have proved that this wormhole was indeed accidentally discovered by Fogli's fleet, and the Herald Empire did not know about it.

No warships were sent to blockade.

Less than half a day.

Then the familiar assault ship flew out of the wormhole space again, and it didn't suffer any damage from the outside.

Seeing this, Xu Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Very good, it seems that this wormhole can be used." As soon as the words fell, he ordered Lei Zhan: "Let the crew on the ship report the details of the wormhole immediately."

"It's sir, I'll contact you right away." Lei Zhan replied happily.

For him, although this half day is not a long time, but he has to suppress all his emotions in his heart, and wait like this without knowing the result. From a certain point of view, it can be regarded as a kind of torment.

Now that I finally got the good news, I am naturally happy.

Because this means that the fleet will soon reach the pioneer galaxy, giving the other party a big surprise.

Soon after Lei Zhan got the relevant information, he also reported as soon as possible: "It can be confirmed now that the structure of this wormhole is very stable, and from the star field coordinate map recorded after our assault ship entered the wormhole , it should be quite close to the pioneer galaxy."

As he spoke, he operated the console a few times with his fingers, and uploaded the screen recorded by the assault ship to the main screen of the command hall.

Xu Lei looked around and saw a rather strange galaxy.

Judging by this picture alone, it is impossible to determine that it comes from the vicinity of the pioneer galaxy.

Fortunately, among the captured pioneer imperial battleships, there is a large amount of voyage record data, and it is relatively simple to obtain the results through the comparison of the brain.

In just a few minutes, it was concluded that the location of the exit of the wormhole was less than one light-year away from the pioneer star.

In other words, as long as they pass through this natural wormhole safely, with the overall speed of the alliance fleet, it will take about a few more months to enter the range of the pioneer galaxy, and the shortened distance is not a little bit.

After thoroughly confirming this matter, Xu Lei finally understood why Fogli chose to take the risk of letting the fleet pass through the wormhole.

After all, being able to reach the destination in a short period of time is by no means an ordinary pleasure.

At this time, Xu Lei no longer had any worries, and immediately issued an order: "The whole ship is ready to sail into the wormhole, and avoid any weapons from being activated."

Whether entering a wormhole or a stargate, the most feared thing is the stability of space.

Although the structure of the wormhole here is relatively stable, if the warship accidentally fires and launches an attack during the passage, it is likely to cause the entire wormhole to collapse.

At that time, the fleet will be scattered and transmitted to an unfamiliar space, maybe it will be directly torn into pieces.

So before you officially enter, you must do all the precautionary work.

It is worth mentioning that Lei Zhan is also a veteran in terms of safety, and has a wealth of means to avoid risks, so he quickly started to act after receiving this order, commanding the warships to enter the wormhole in order.

Since the security of the wormhole has already been considered, this process will not take too much time.

Xu Lei sat in the position ahead of time and did various protective operations. After the main ship, the Star Destroyer, followed the fleet into the wormhole, he immediately noticed that the space radar system of the battleship had lost its function, and the main screen became pitch black. .

Sudden changes, other people may panic.

Concerned about the safety of the battleship.

However, Xu Lei was very calm and did not take this change too seriously.

The main reason is that he has used the stargate more than once before, and he knows that this will happen to warships or spaceships after entering the stargate.

Belongs to the impact of space fluctuations.

He did not forget to appease the others, and immediately shouted: "Everyone, don't worry, this is a normal effect caused by passing through the wormhole passage, and it will naturally return to normal after leaving the wormhole battleship."

that's it.

I don't know how long ago.

When the main screen in the command hall was restored to its original state as Xu Lei said, his vision suddenly became clear.

You can faintly see the faintly shining stars in the star field ahead.

Nine times out of ten it is the precursor galaxy.

"Have we successfully passed through the wormhole? We just don't feel it at all." When the battleship gradually stabilized, Lei Zhan unfastened the safety device on his seat, and was quite curious while looking at the strange environment outside.

Obviously he knew that wormholes could save a lot of time, but he couldn't imagine how cool it would be.

At this time, Xu Lei checked the situation of the entire fleet, and after confirming that none of the warships were damaged, a smile appeared on his face, and he turned around and said to Lei Zhan: "When we have our own star gate, You will find that interstellar travel may be faster than you can travel to a certain city on Earth."

"If that's the case, then I'm looking forward to it more and more." Lei Zhan was immersed in the imagination Xu Lei said, full of hope for the future of mankind.

After successfully reaching the vicinity of the pioneer galaxy and identifying the star in the other galaxy, Xu Lei will definitely not waste time at this time.

Dang even waved his hand to lead the fleet towards the target.

Out of the scope of the wormhole, the alliance fleet naturally turned on the maximum power, allowing the fleet to sail at the fastest speed.

Try to catch the enemy by surprise.

Win this battle at a very small cost.

……

Probably because of the accurate target, the fleet drove for several months without knowing it.

And officially entered the pioneer galaxy.

With the help of the powerful space radar system on the Star Destroyer, after a comprehensive scan, it will directly show the pioneer stars where the pioneers are mainly concentrated, as well as various planetary fortresses and defense systems that exist in space.

In terms of quantity, it is unknown how many times more than the solar system.

To enter the inner solar system and launch an attack on a special planet, you only need to break through the solar system defense ring near the orbit of Neptune.

But facing the pioneer galaxy, it needs to advance to the core area layer by layer.

If it is a fleet composed of medium-sized battleships, it is not easy to attack them.

In particular, there are several space anchorages in the galaxy, where an extremely large number of warships are parked.

No matter what kind of changes the planet encounters, they will start in a short time and launch a fierce attack on the invaders.

After all, the Pioneer Empire is a civilization whose development is based on invading other civilized star systems. Naturally, it also has a unique way of defense. Otherwise, the civilization may have been wiped out by other civilizations after so many years of reproduction.

It's a pity that they encountered a large star destroyer this time.

In the face of powerful plasma cannons that can be fired at will, no matter how many galaxy defenses they have, the final result is nothing more than destructive.

There is no possibility of resisting at all.

At this moment, as the alliance battleship officially entered the range of the pioneer galaxy, Lei Zhan Gustav and the others became more and more excited, wishing to immediately drive the battleship to start a battle and avenge the previous changes in the solar system.

Know that's what they're here for.

"Sir, let me lead a few battleships to clean up the surrounding defensive fortresses first, and ensure that the task is completed."

At this time, Lei Zhan had just opened his mouth and asked to be the starting lineup. Gustav on the screen was a little unhappy, and quickly said: "Our Second Fleet is also confident in completing the mission."

Xu Lei listened to the argument between the two and knew that they both wanted to contribute to the alliance.

At the same time, I would like to take this opportunity to sharpen the entire fleet.

Compared with the Herald Empire Fleet, although the Alliance Fleet is currently equipped with the strongest warships in the Orion Arm, it cannot compare with the Herald Empire in terms of interstellar combat experience, especially in large-scale battles.

Now that they finally have such an opportunity, how could the two of them, as the heads of the fleet, miss it.

However, in the end, neither of them got this opportunity.

In such a scene, Xu Lei had a smile on his lips, turned his eyes to Lei Zhan and Gustav, and then said with a serious expression on his face: "I don't plan to send any battleships to go there. Destroy the defensive fort."

The voice just fell.

Immediately after the two were puzzled, they issued a final order to the fleet: "The Star Destroyer prepares plasma cannons for me to clear these obstacles!"

"Yes, sir!"

With Xu Lei speaking, the crew in charge of operating the warship did not dare to hesitate.

Immediately began to activate the plasma cannon.

That's right.

Xu Lei did not let the battleship take the lead in destroying the enemy's defensive fortress. The main reason was that he was worried about causing unnecessary losses to the alliance fleet.

After all, the Pioneer Empire has a geographical advantage right now, and can completely block the alliance fleet with the help of defensive fortresses. In addition, the number of battleships in their old lair will certainly not be small.

If Lei Zhan and Gustav went hastily, they would inevitably be at a disadvantage.

Even if the performance of the battleships equipped by the Alliance Fleet is much stronger than that of the Herald Empire battleships.

For this cross-galaxy operation, Xu Lei does not want to cause casualties to the alliance fleet, and it is best for a warship to return to the solar system without falling.

As for the so-called sharpening, using the virtual world is the same.

The main weapon of the main star destroyer, the plasma cannon, is extremely powerful and can attack from a long distance. In addition, the cooldown time of the neutral particle cannon is much shorter than that of the Herald Empire battleship, and it can destroy all defenses in a very short time. fortress.

At that time, the pioneer star can be completely surrounded.

Just as Xu Lei was thinking about this, the notification sound from the battleship brain immediately came to his ears.

"The plasma cannon is being prepared..."

"Ready."

"The target has been successfully locked, do you want to launch?"

"emission!"

As Xu Lei finally uttered those two words in a deep voice, two spherical plasma cannonballs were fired from the Star Destroyer's main weapon, and flew towards a certain security fortress on the outskirts of the Herald Empire at an extremely fast speed.

Lei Zhan next to him saw that Xu Lei struck so quickly, so he knew that it was impossible to agree to his request.

Of course he didn't have any dissatisfaction.

It's just that I look forward to being able to personally fight the enemy.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something, and asked almost subconsciously: "By the way, sir, do you need to bring Mesti back?"

From his point of view, since Mesti is very important, and it will depend on him to maintain the operation of the Pioneer Star in the future, he should be present on such an important occasion.

Xu Lei shook his head when he heard the sound: "It's not time for him to play yet, let's talk about it after we finish this battle."

The pioneer empire has always been in absolute pride, which can be seen from Mesti and Fogli at the beginning, so if they don't fight and they completely surrender and deeply understand the true background of the solar system, then even now If the situation can be calmed down, there will be disadvantages in the future.

What's more, in Xu Lei's view, the number of pioneers exceeding [-] billion is really too much.

If it can be reduced, they don't need to constantly search the surrounding galaxies to choose targets suitable for bullying.

Naturally, Lei Zhan would not question Xu Lei's decision. After receiving such an answer, he didn't say anything more, but kept his eyes on the main screen of the Star Destroyer, wanting to see the power of the plasma cannon for the first time.

Under normal circumstances, the spherical ion cannon fired by the plasma cannon has a temperature as high as several million degrees, so it can easily melt various substances.

It was too late after the pioneer empire defense fortress discovered the existence of the plasma cannon. Faced with this kind of dimensionality reduction attack, there was no way to deal with it. Many pioneers, together with the defense fortress, were killed Destroyed together by plasma cannon.

The scene can be said to be spectacular.

It's like setting off a beautiful firework in space.

And that's just the beginning.

The cooling time of the plasma cannon was very short, and two Star Destroyers attacked at the same time. After a few rounds, the outermost defensive fortress basically became rubbish.

no longer has any effect.

The Herald Galaxy, which was originally relatively peaceful, was suddenly bustling.

At this time, Xu Lei became calm and gave new instructions to the fleet: "Continue to march towards the pioneer star. In addition, the whole ship is ready for the impact. The opponent's fleet should launch a counterattack."

The Pioneer Empire is at least a second-level civilization, and it will definitely react in a short time when it is suddenly attacked so violently.

Send your own fleet to fight.

In this case, the alliance fleet must be prepared.

Prevent the battleship from being attacked by the enemy's neutral particle cannon, otherwise even if the battleship can resist it, it will be damaged and lose its combat effectiveness.

Lei Zhan next to him and Gustav, who was staying in another Star Destroyer, also paid full attention after hearing this order, adjusting the battleships of their own fleet at any time.

So soon the Alliance Fleet set up a special formation.

The Star Destroyer with powerful defenses sailed at the forefront of the fleet, resisting all enemy attacks with the help of energy shields, while the remaining battleships used neutral particle cannons and rail guns to fire freely from behind.

As a result of this tactic, the Alliance ships did not take any damage.

On the other hand, the fleet of the Herald Empire decreased from time to time, and one after another exploded in space.

It can be said to be a one-sided crush.

-

It has been tens of thousands of years since the pioneer civilization multiplied, but this is the first time it has suffered such a big loss.

Seeing the rapid reduction of planetary defense fortresses and the continuous destruction of warships, the news was quickly passed to the military and political palace in the underground city of Anterdes, the core of the pioneer star. As the current king, Gardella held an emergency meeting.

It is worth mentioning that because of the special environment of the pioneer star, most of the surface of the planet is covered by rock formations.

So the pioneers lived in cities built 5000 meters underground.

As the first city of the Herald Empire, Anterdes not only has the largest population, but is also relatively prosperous, with various core institutions of the empire.

At this time, in the palace in the center of the city, the king Gardella wearing a huge crown sat uneasy on the main seat, and below stood several pioneers in red clothes, they were the core personnel of the pioneer empire.

Bishop-level herald like Mestifergli.

But their lifespan is longer, far less than that of the pioneers with royal membership.

Because the situation was very anxious, Gardella did not make any fuss for the first time, and directly asked one of the bishop-level pioneers: "Toth, how is the situation now, have you confirmed the true identity of the enemy?"

For Gardella today, it is simply full of weirdness.

Originally, he was worried about his children Fogli and Mesti, wondering when they would be able to take down that weak civilization and return to the pioneer star, but he did not expect that there would be a fleet of unknown origin raiding the pioneer galaxy.

And directly launched a thunderous attack, which caught them by surprise for the first time.

This is simply a great shame for the pioneer empire.

The enemy must pay a heavy price, after all, they have invaded other galaxies in the past.

As for Toth, who was named, he could see that his expression was very solemn at this time. Facing the king's inquiry, he paused for a few seconds before replying: "The great King Gadra, according to the news from the front, the attacking us It is the Star Destroyer of Seitan, and the outer defensive fortress has been completely destroyed right now."

"what?"

"A Star Destroyer from Seitan?"

"how can that be?!"

After listening to Toth's answer, Gardella was shocked three times in an instant.

Obviously this result was not expected at all.

Not only him, but even the other bishop-level pioneers next to him looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

Seitan is the only third-level civilization in the Orion spiral arm, and has jurisdiction over them. After all, looking at the Orion spiral arm, only Seitan city has a branch of the Galactic Civilization Administration.

With this level of identity, how could they suddenly attack their pioneer empire.

What's more, even if their actions against the solar system violated the rules of the Authority, it would never be so direct under normal circumstances.

At the very least, a notification must be issued first.

It is because they know these situations very well that they are puzzled by the current situation.

Soon after Gardella calmed down a little, he hurriedly asked again: "Is there any misunderstanding here? Why did the Star Destroyer of Seitan attack us? Can we establish contact with them?"

As soon as the words fell, the bishop-level pioneers around couldn't sit still, and they all spoke in agreement.

The name of the main Saitan star is too big to be cowarded.

"Seitan is a third-level civilization, we must not break out friction with it, otherwise we will definitely suffer in the end."

"I propose to try to contact the other party first, and it is best to clear up the misunderstanding."

"The power of the Star Destroyer is not something we can resist, please be careful with the king."

"Although the relationship between the Herald Empire and Planet Seitan is not as close as that of Greenery Star, there has never been any friction. I think there must be a misunderstanding."

Hearing the proposals of many bishops, Toth's face became more and more ugly, and then he explained: "We have tried to contact each other, but they have been launching fierce attacks on our battleships and defensive fortresses. It means destroying the pioneer star."

After the situation was introduced here, everyone couldn't help but become serious.

Obviously the situation is somewhat out of their control, if they continue to indulge in peace, I am afraid that the pioneer star will soon cease to exist.

Who doesn't know the power of the plasma cannon.

At this time, everyone had no choice but to focus on Gardella, knowing that only the king could make a decision at this time.

Seeing that his family's second-level civilization was inexplicably reduced to the point of extinction, Gardella was also under a lot of pressure at the moment, especially after meeting the eyes of many bishop-level pioneers below, he was even more panicked.

Finally, after careful consideration, it was decided to ask for help from the outside world.

Because everyone knew very well that with those two Star Destroyers, even if they sent their entire fleet to fight, they would only suffer heavy losses in the end.

The gap in civilization level is not so easy to bridge.

Thinking of this, Gardella immediately straightened his body, and then ordered: "Immediately send someone to the Galactic Civilization Management Branch of Qianxing City, Seitan Star, and ask Master Quan Yi to come and uphold justice for our pioneer empire."

"Yes, my king."

After receiving the order, Thoth immediately knelt down on one knee to respond, and then quickly walked outside the palace.

With the convenience of the star gate, you can reach Thousand Stars City in a very short time. As long as you find Quan Yi, who is the head of the Galactic Civilization Administration Branch, I believe that the crisis will naturally be resolved.

After all, all civilizations know that the person in charge is also from Seitan.

It is perfect for him to negotiate the fleet of Seitan.

It's a pity that although Gardella's idea is good, he doesn't know that it is not Seitan that controls this fleet, but the weak civilization solar system in his mouth.
