Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 76 Inside the Nebula
The hyperspace engine of the Flying Star frigate started, and the hull shook. After stabilizing again, it appeared in the Rad System.

The Ladd Galaxy is located inside a huge nebula. This nebula not only covers one part of the Ladd Galaxy, but also covers several surrounding nebulae.

Even if it enters this galaxy at this moment, the detection distance is still limited.

If you look at it with the naked eye, this galaxy is no different from other galaxies.

The only difference may be that this is a deserted galaxy with no resources.

The Bazadi Empire didn't even bother to build a space station here, so it didn't belong to their territory.

"The entire ship enters a combat posture."

Qin Xu gave the order as the captain, and then all the weapons on the ship were ready to be fired at any time.

"Qin Xu, if we really find a large fleet hidden here later, can we run out?"

Chen Xiaomeng suddenly said worriedly.

"I don't know, but I know that if our detectors fail to detect the opponent's main fleet and prove that the opponent is far stronger than us, the higher ups will not listen to us."

"But the moment we detect each other, the other party can also detect us. Assuming that our inference is correct, then we will face enemies hundreds or thousands of times stronger than ourselves..."

The two were obviously discussing in public, but no one around them knew what they were talking about.

"Although you shouldn't question the captain's order, I still want to ask why we are here. It is very dangerous to break away from the large force in the battle."

Yu Minghai was wearing heavy armor and walking into the command room holding a heavy laser gun.

Although he felt that there would be no battle, or that as long as there was a battle, they would be dead.

Because they were separated from the large force and had only one ship, no matter how powerful the enemy they encountered, a small fleet of more than ten or twenty ships on the opposite side could sink them in an instant.

Despite this, they still made preparations for the possibility of being boarded in accordance with regulations.

Wearing a hard armor and holding a heavy laser gun in his hand, this is the latest configuration of the United Nations.

Since losing the last boarding battle, the United Nations has been resentful about this and has upgraded its equipment for boarding battles several times.

At this moment, the crew members are all equipped with armor. Although they may not be able to withstand many lasers, it is the best they can do.

"There is one thing I must do, and it can only be done by me. It is related to the life and death of the entire United Nations on Earth. Once this war is lost, not only our crew will die. How many of our entire United Nations on Earth will die? Tens of billions of people will be killed by the other side, and no one will be left."

Qin Xu's eyes revealed an unprecedented determination. This was the first time Chen Xiaomeng saw such maturity in his eyes.

It turns out that the man in front of him is no longer the ignorant boy who knew nothing when he entered the deep space fleet.

He has also become a qualified astronaut, and is now growing up to be a qualified captain.

The Flying Star frigate broke through the fog and headed deeper into the galaxy.

The ion thruster behind him dragged out a long tail flame, seeming to swear that he might not come back in the future.

Deep in the dense nebula of the Ladd Galaxy, dreamlike nebulae like the Milky Way envelope the entire galaxy.

And behind this dreamy nebula, a cosmic fleet that covers the sky almost spans the entire universe. Looking at it, there is no end in sight.

Just by scanning, nearly 600 frigates and 100 destroyers came into view.

This is a terrifying force at this stage.

"General Ives, in this decisive battle, the superiors have decided not to hand over the command of the fleet to you." In the empty command room, Ives wore an eagle mask and looked at the dreamy scenery outside with some boredom.

"Fleet command? That kind of thing doesn't matter anymore."

"Uh."

"Just the final battle?"

"Yes. You are still the fleet commander in name now. However, after entering the battle, because your fighting style is different from what is required above, they do not plan to let you command the fleet."

"Haha, I'm not allowed to take command, but I'm happy not to take command. General, do you know how I got the name General?"

"..."

"Generals in ancient times usually go directly into battle to kill the enemy. I don't want to do this kind of thing like commanding the fleet. This time, no matter what, I have to go to the fleet alone to kill."

"With all due respect, General Ives, you used to kill yourself directly, and I was also in charge of the fleet command..."

Officers didn't dare to say things like this before, but since Ivey went to the planet Gaia as a general, his personality seems to have softened a lot, and he is not as irritable as before.

Then I became a little familiar with him.

Of course, it's just a matter of changing from enemy to stranger.

"Hey, it seems like my friend is here."

General Ives suddenly became energetic, stood up from his seat, and looked in a certain direction of the universe.

"friend?"

The officer was almost stunned by the word.

Does General Ives have any friends?He is the "closest" person to the other party.Why don't you feel that the other person is a friend?
"Haha, how about I give my friend a huge surprise?"

"Ivey is the general, do you want the fleet to move forward? This is absolutely forbidden. We haven't waited for the opponent's fleet to converge. Going out now will alert the enemy. If the opponent breaks into pieces and fights guerrilla warfare with us, We will also be very passive."

The officer himself is also a supervisor, responsible for keeping an eye on Ives.

Because Ives always has all kinds of weird ideas, but no one can stop him when he wants to do it.

But for things like mobilizing the fleet, this officer is also a lock on Ives and will refuse when the other party issues unreasonable orders.

"Haha. I originally wanted to present the big gift directly to my friend, but now it seems I can only give a small gift."

"What do you mean?"

"Give me a frigate and move your fleet. If you don't allow it, just give me a frigate, right?"

"..."

The officer hesitated for a while and said, "Yes, but only one."

In fact, he really wanted to say, at this critical moment, please don't make things extraneous.

But when I think about General Ives having always gone his own way and determined things, even ten cows can't pull him back.

In addition, the superior said that as long as the request was not too outrageous, he would be satisfied as much as possible, so he no longer stopped him.
