Him and their stars

Everyone already knew that the so-called Alpine was a Saint-class mobile dock introduced by the Community from the Alliance, and the entire expedition fleet only brought three ships. Two are in the Circle of Miracles, and the remaining one is here. This is a large special-purpose ship that is comparable in size to a battleship. Its internal space can even accommodate three or five light cruisers for detailed surgical treatment. It can also perform operations on various types of mainships, including dreadnoughts. Emergency repairs.

As for the Tianshan, it is one of the four nano-maintenance ships provided to the community by the Iron Army Alliance. Compared with traditional maintenance techniques, the working technology with small intelligent machines as the core is more professional and comprehensive in handling details.

In short, with the cooperation of these two ships, the Blue Star Community is equivalent to setting up a ship maintenance base in this galaxy that can be moved and relocated at any time.

Of course, after all, the DL33 galaxy is located at an important channel node within the Dawn Star Domain. Isn't it reasonable to conduct some maintenance business here and provide some thoughtful daily services to passing cargo ships, cruise ships, and the like?

Of course, the Empire has nothing to say. They have even repaired a space station that can dock a cruiser. With a few heavy cannons installed, it can directly serve as a fortress.

In addition, a decisive fleet battle took place in the DL33 galaxy. His Highness Brunhilt, the "Light of the Sky", and the commander of the remaining company of the "Dragon of Dawn", among others, were defeated here. The main force of the enemy's fleet. The sunken enemy ship is floating in the vast sky. It will probably take tens of thousands of years to be completely destroyed by cosmic radiation, right?

Under this circumstance, it is also very reasonable for the community to drag two predator warships that appear to be in good condition and use them for research.

The empire on the opposite side also had nothing to say, after all, they had dragged away a large, half-disabled fire-breathing ship.

"So, have those two ships been repaired?" Commodore Orwell asked expectantly.

"Actually, the scheduled construction period still needs two to three months. However, it is generally completed. The basic protective belt has been safely completed, new jump and sub-light engines have been replaced, and the energy pipelines have been rearranged and integrated, and we can directly go to the battlefield to fight against the imperial warships It's still not enough, but it is possible to set sail normally." Akinayama Hachiman said: "The remaining trouble lies in the adaptation of weapons. Since we have brought these two ships back to life, even for the convenience of supply and maintenance, We can no longer use those copycat versions.”

"Both are battleships?"

"No, they are all motherships. If a giant ship of this size is a fire-breathing ship, the empire opposite will really be unable to sit still."

Indeed, the fire-breathing ship is a fearless version of the Predator model. Although protection is always difficult to describe due to technical and financial problems, the artillery fire is really overwhelming. But if it were a mothership... Well, what's the difference between a mothership without fighter planes, assault landing craft and stormtroopers, and a transport ship?

"The Empire could not have imagined that we would be able to move these two ships so quickly." Major General Orwell said.

"We have to thank Mr. Tartag Whisker for this. He is the master shipbuilder of the Predator Empire. With him and his apprentices here, we know where to start most efficiently. Therefore, we would also like to thank the Empire's Assist." Akinayama Hachiman pushed up his glasses: "When you occupy the moral high ground, there will always be someone who will give you the honor of righteousness. The ancient sages really did not deceive me."

Tartag Whisker is a Kalda goblin, but his father is actually a political prisoner who ran away from the Alliance. He grew up in the Galactic Center. He is a rogue predator, but he is also a gifted one. Master shipbuilder. In the context of the multi-racial and equal United Empire that Tommy Terry Khan is preparing to build, capable and technical talents like Mr. Whisker will naturally gain importance. He was responsible for the armed upgrade of the Great Khan's flagship "Ark of the Ancestors", and was also responsible for the construction of the latest fire-breathing ship and mothership.

If Tomitelli's empire can really take root in the Dawn Star Territory, he may also become a master shipbuilder who will go down in history.

But we all know the subsequent results. After the DL33 galaxy battle, the goblin engineer and the entire team became prisoners of war.

Fortunately among the misfortunes, he at least fell into the hands of the people on Earth.

In their initial career as prisoners of war, technicians like Yatata Whisker, who had been greatly favored by Tomitelli Khan, were still somewhat proud of dying for their bosom friends and were unwilling to cooperate with the people on earth. However, as the Predator Empire was strangled in its cradle, the heads of the famous Predator Overseers and Warrior Captains became the trophies of the coalition forces. Even Tomitelli Khan himself disappeared in the war, and his Attitudes naturally began to loosen.

However, what really brought about a qualitative change was that when the Empire's garrison was preparing to systematically and systematically execute prisoners of war, and even prepare to massacre the unarmed old, weak, sick and disabled, they were discovered by Captain Parkin of the 101st Company of the Hell Parachute Division of the Community.

Captain Parkin simply stopped the Imperial Army out of his conscience and could not just sit back and watch the massacre happen. This triggered a full-scale confrontation between the two countries' garrisons on the planet Eunomia.

What is happening now will almost happen a year in advance.

Fortunately, the war finally did not happen.

Probably due to diplomatic pressure from the Alliance, the Empire finally transported all prisoners of war to the country. They are destined to become slaves and will suffer a lot of suffering in the future, but after all, they will not be massacred here. There is always a little hope.

In addition, the community is doing the same thing. The gods of the earth may be unbearable, but because of this, it is difficult to be so ruthless as to use intelligent creatures as fertilizer. Perhaps the fate of these prisoners of war who fell into the hands of the earth will be better.

For the local community military, the biggest positive impact was that Mr. Tartag Whisker decided to surrender to Earth, and then became a consultant to DL33. The reason why the Alpine and Tianshan were able to repair the two motherships so quickly was naturally due to the ship's master, who was familiar with the conditions of all the Predator ships.

...Well, this Kalda goblin engineer is definitely not a top-notch tech master. After all, he doesn't know how to supervise the construction of a new type of dreadnought ship in a standardized advanced shipyard. However, he does know how to build it as quickly as possible. Let a green-skinned Marauder warship regain its mobility and even combat effectiveness.

"How many people can these two motherships carry?" Rear Admiral Orwell asked.

"All the five divisions here and their equipment can be taken away." Akinayama Hachiman pondered for a moment: "Actually, if it is a little more crowded, it won't be a big problem to cram in another three to four hundred thousand people."

"Then it's like stuffing sardines in a can."

"It's not so crowded. There is still basic living space. If we can ensure energy and water, we can even ensure that everyone can have children on it." Akinayama Hachiman shrugged.

Major General Orwell glanced at the other party indifferently for the first time, thinking that the guys wearing glasses were all boring.

"Then let the soldiers pack their bags."

After Akinayama Hachiman was silent for a few seconds, he stood at attention and saluted: "Understood!"

When Major General Orwell issued this order, it was like throwing 100 million into the water and listening to the sound, and finally there was a look of pain on his face. He lit the pipe for himself, took a long puff of it, and sighed: "Okay, this is equivalent to giving up my defense zone without receiving orders from my superiors. If it were in the mainland of the Milky Way, , the telegram from the National Defense Committee has now been sent. Maybe the military police’s pistol has been pressed against my head.”

"However, this is not our homeland after all. It is said that we will not accept the orders of foreign kings, that's all."

"Why do you East Asians always like to use proverbs from the cold weapon age to deal with the cosmic age? And many times it makes sense."

"Probably because...according to a certain person, our thinking has actually made limited progress compared to the cold weapon era." Akinayama Hachiman took off his glasses and said in a tone like a documentary narration.

As a traditional soldier, Major General Orwell did not want to discuss this issue, so he took another fierce puff of his pipe, this time spraying it directly on Akinayama Hachiman's face, and then asked: "So, according to Yang's Plan, wait for news from the Circle of Miracles? Wait 48 hours?"

"No. Chief Yang's plan is supplemented by our own decision based on our actual situation." Akinayama Hachiman said: "My opinion is to set sail immediately."

"I didn't know that you are still an impatient kid? Or maybe you are actually a pessimist at heart?"

"No matter whether something happens to the Ring of Miracles or not, the enemy's fleet will definitely reach Eunomia before us. Once the high point of the space orbit is occupied, all victories on the surface will be meaningless. However, if If we can arrive at the Unity Fortress in advance, strengthen the defense there, or even capture the entire fortress, we may be able to block King Suliuka's main force in the Dawn Star Territory."

This is very optimistic. However, Major General Orwell understood the other party's subtext: the premise of everything is that the side of the Miracle Ring can win. However, even though his own side clearly has three times the strength of the enemy, the veteran general is not at all reassured.

...That's all, after all, there are three times the strength. Even if we can't win, we can at least maintain a balanced situation.

They also did not discuss the current situation of their other seven strongholds in the Dawn Star Territory. From the moment the war broke out, everyone and everything became pawns.

On the same day, in the evening of August 7, the internal street fighting in the Unity Fortress had lasted for twelve hours.

The overall condition of Lieutenant General Minontai, the commander of the Imperial Army, is that he still feels relatively stable and rational. The general atmosphere of his headquarters can be considered positive and optimistic.

At least judging from the current battle situation, the empire really has the advantage, and the results can be considered generous.

Just at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, news came from the front. Under the leadership of the Astral Knights, the Imperial Army surrounded an entire division of Torun Tauren in Cabin 16.

Afterwards, the Astral Knights staged a great show of taking the head of an admiral from among thousands of troops, easily breaking through the lines of the Tauren of Torun and beheading their commander.

The remaining Tollunds laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Imperial forces.

Perhaps it was because these tall and burly tauren did not fully cooperate with the commands of their earth "allies" that they were led into a trap by the imperial army; or perhaps because these self-proclaimed tauren of Torun were not as brave as they imagined. He didn't dare to fight the empire to the death. Regardless of the objective factors, an entire division of nearly 20,000 Tollunds was "annihilated". This was a brilliant achievement that no one could fault.

If the results on all fronts are included, the Imperial Army has killed more than 30,000 people on Earth. This means that Yang Xiyi has lost more than a quarter of his combat power.

Of course, the empire's losses had already exceeded 20,000, which greatly exceeded Lieutenant General Minontai's estimate. However, he said he was emotionally stable.

Of course, there is also good news. The central transportation hub at the junction of the two armies has finally been taken down. Of course, when the Earth's army retreated, there was a destructive explosion that was very ungrateful, but this was actually not beyond the empire's expectations.

Since people on earth dare to explode, of course they dare to repair. In this big universe era, no one’s infrastructure level is too bad. What's more, the Galactic Empire likes to use spectacles to "revere power before showing virtue"?

All in all, after the transportation hub terminal in the middle section changed hands, the war should have achieved a staged victory. Before the war started, the two sides occupied the fortress area at 40-60%, but now it has become 37%.

By this time, Lieutenant General Minontai, although emotionally stable, could not smile.

You know, they clearly gained the first-mover advantage, but the combat progress and exchange ratio were always unsatisfactory, which made Lieutenant General Minontai doubtful.

"So, let the soldiers continue the attack?" the adjutant asked.

Lieutenant General Minontai hesitated for a brief moment, and then said decisively: "Let the soldiers continue to advance! We must not give the people on earth the slightest chance to breathe."

Although this imperial general who was born into a noble family appears to be a typical upper-class elite who is personable, elegant in conversation, and knowledgeable, and has also been engaged in diplomacy and liaison work, in his heart he is actually a typical fortress defense expert, a security guard at a medium-sized airport. The director climbed up to where he is today step by step.

The greatest advantage of this type of general is that he is steady, diligent and meticulous, coupled with meticulous obsessive-compulsive disorder. Such a person will never tolerate himself and the enemy being in the same fortress for a long time.

The Earth Defense Commander on the opposite side is Major General Yang Xiyi. Both King Solane and King Wilente who have returned home, as well as Lieutenant General Minontai himself, all speak highly of him. Who knows if he will pull off any earth-shattering operations? come out.

In order to avoid long nights and long dreams, he must restore law and order to this fortress as soon as possible.

Of course he knows that this is a space city after all. No matter how huge the space fortress is, the space is limited. The more one advances, the enemy's space will be compressed step by step, but the opponent's defense density will become tighter. At this point, for every step forward, the price to be paid will definitely rise geometrically.

However, it's all worth it.

For the next half hour, Lieutenant General Minontai looked at the rising casualty figures with neither joy nor sadness, his mentality always remaining in the range of calculating consumables.

It was not until 21:15 in the evening that the adjutant brought him a new report. He just couldn't sit still anymore.

"Four Astral Knights died in battle?"

"Yes, an entire assault unit was killed in the battle. Only six of the armored grenadiers of the company they led escaped, and they were all frightened. Count Baoret and Viscount Bias had already Rushed to the scene.”
