Him and their stars

"Devil's Throat, I'm back again!" Horatio Wayne looked at this galaxy that appeared most frequently in the past war of judgment, and looked at this galaxy where he had also shed blood, and was full of emotion for a while.

The 26-year-old looked around, and all he could see was his figure when he was 24 years old.

"It's now called Dawn Pass." Kent reminded expressionlessly.

"The fortress has also been renamed Unity Fortress, but it's not as appropriate as the old name." Wayne sneered.

Of course, everyone has seen the deformed wreckage of the Unity Fortress. The huge space ruins, at first glance, look like a shriveled apple core that has lost its moisture. It is full of historical scars and makes people feel cold.

Kent now thinks that thing looks very evil. However, thinking carefully, this huge solid steel "apple core" also incorporates the corpses of hundreds of thousands of people, which makes sense.

And the situation is just as everyone imagined. More engineering ships are about 300,000 kilometers away from the wreckage of the Unity Fortress, busy like worker bees.

The framework of a space city has been built.

"Are we really going to rebuild the fortress? No, we are going to build a brand new fortress from scratch." Wayne said.

"No, from the scale point of view, it is not as large as a fortress, but more like a functional space city." Kent said.

"In other words, it is the initial preparation for the construction of the fortress."

This inference is very logical.

However, Kent felt that things should not be so simple. He used a radio telescope to see with his own eyes that many engineering ships were circling around the remains of the Unity Fortress, like flies dancing on a large group of graves.

However, due to the distance, the image was very blurry, and it was really unclear what the specific work was.

He wanted to get closer and observe it carefully, but he also knew that this was unrealistic.

Afterwards, everyone quickly found a large area of ​​space facilities that had been fully formed in the outer orbit of the galaxy. From orbital power stations, mining plants to refineries, everything is available.

It is easy to understand. After all, Dawn Pass is part of the Dawn Star Region. Although there are no habitable planets and large areas of dense asteroid belts, the mineral resources are also very rich.

It is actually quite convenient to build a fortress in this galaxy. Some core components with high technological content still need to be transported from the country, but all kinds of materials that consume the most can be completely sourced locally.

Obviously, this is the pass of the Dawn Star Region and an important construction site. The Empire will of course carry out very strict deployment. Although the size of the Wayne fleet is almost negligible, it still alarmed the attention of the defenders.

The good news is that there are indeed not many defenders.

The bad news is that even if there are not many, it is easy to deal with these six little cats and dogs.

Soon, five heavy cruisers and a light carrier ran over from the vicinity of the construction site.

However, their movements were obviously hesitant. They were not fast and they kept looking back, as if they were worried that new enemy ships would suddenly emerge from the gravity well and give them a shameless sneak attack.

...It is understandable that Yang Fleet has used this trick several times.

Taking advantage of this gap, the fragile boats of the Wayne Fleet have already plunged into the asteroid belt. After a half circle in the ice crystal maze surrounding the outer periphery of the galaxy, they suddenly rushed towards a built orbital refinery.

After four or five similar operations, the Imperial Fleet stationed in this galaxy also fell into hesitation. They may have always been worried that the main force of the Yang Fleet would come out from the direction where the Wayne Fleet came from, so they re-concentrated their forces near the construction site.

Taking this opportunity, the Wayne Fleet also successfully returned to the Dawn Channel under the cover of the asteroid belt, and then returned to the vast world.

Of course, this is actually partly because the Empire has limited military strength here, and the primary task is to protect the construction site and various production facilities, so they had to hold their noses and let Wayne's small fleet go.

"This reflects two things. First, the Empire attaches great importance to the Dawn Pass project, and rebuilding the Unity Fortress represents their strategic considerations." Wayne said.

"Maybe it's not just rebuilding the fortress." Kent still doubted.

"Second, the Empire's military strength in the Dawn Star Region is indeed decreasing." Wayne said so again.

Facts have proved that Horatio Wayne's mind is intermittent no matter how simple it is. He is a natural warrior brother, who actually has a natural tactical sense and the ability to act decisively.

He should also be the first commander of the community to lead the fleet to break through the blockade of Dawn Pass since the war began.

Once the fleet reaches the Dawn Channel, the subsequent operations will be much easier.

As we all know, this is a holy road to heaven, connecting the Dawn Star Region and the New World Highway, and also connecting the Empire and the homeland of the community. If there is no war, it is almost foreseeable that this route will become one of the busiest trade routes in the known universe within ten years.

However, there are actually many branches in the various galaxies that make up this route. If these branches with different paths leading to the same destination are arranged and combined patiently, they can actually form more than 20 routes.

Therefore, this of course also gives the earthlings ample space for utilization.

Back then, Eleanor Bonaparte led the powerful Thirteenth Fleet to fight with the Imperial Fleet on the Dawn Channel for a long time, not to mention the four small boats in Horatio Wayne's hands.

Occasionally, they would encounter the oncoming enemy patrol fleet and transport fleet, but they were always able to avoid danger without any danger, and occasionally they could find a chance to bite a few bites.

Of course, they also knew that there must be an angry Imperial Fleet chasing them behind them, but as long as they couldn't catch up, they could completely ignore it.

In short, the voyage of more than two weeks was basically the smoothest voyage of the Wayne Fleet.

In this way, after the Earthlings' warships returned to the Unity Fortress after a year, they returned to the New World Highway after another year.

When approaching the Iris Galaxy, the lightly equipped Wayne Fleet finally caught the figure of the Vulcan Airan. At this time, the time had entered the end of April.

They almost saw with their own eyes the huge battleship painted in crimson, flashing at the end of the sky and entering the jump orbit.

"This direction is not the Gate of Glory... but the direction of New Lushun." Kent said.

The two exchanged glances, and each saw the worry in each other's eyes. The movement of the Imperial Fleet is not surprising, but if it really happens, it will still bring heavy pressure to people.

"Does Marshal Farrell think that New Lushun and New Yumen are more important than the threat of Yang's fleet?"

"They have changed their way of fighting and only want to build a fortress at Dawn Pass to lock us up. After all, they don't know the existence of the star gate. The Vulcan must have other ideas." Kent pondered for a moment.

"I know, in fact, we are going to break through the Nantianmen through the New World." Horatio Wayne said: "As long as Gibraltar is captured, the connection between the Outer Ring, the Far Shore, the New Shenzhou and the mainland will be cut off. Although the main force of our army in the fortress is still our largest strategic group of heavy troops, it will definitely become an isolated army."

This guy looks simple-minded, but in fact he is just too lazy to use his brain in areas he is not interested in. However, when it comes to war, he is really sharp and terrifying!

Kent looked at his friend with admiration and nodded with a heavy expression: "But... if they want to pass through the New World Highway, it will be difficult for the Empire to maintain a large fleet. It should be difficult for them to break through the defenses of Gibraltar and the Outer Fleet."

"What if the enemy comes from the Blood Gate and West End?"

"The Blood Gate has been razed to the ground by Yu Lian. The entire Kingdom of Kaitai after the Blood Gate has also been in turmoil. The Terrabi people have even established an independent country and are said to be requesting the Empire's recognition and the Emperor's canonization. In addition, the tens of billions of refugees pouring into the Empire alone can make his border star regions have no time to take care of other things, let alone maintain the logistics of the main fleet." Kent had a different opinion:

"But they will never leave the refugees and the vassal states in civil strife alone. This will cause a huge blow to the prestige of the Galactic Empire."

Speaking of this, Kent also felt a little pity. If he were in his native land, he would definitely spend a lot of effort to collect information in this regard. There is actually a lot of room for use, and maybe it can add fuel to the fire of the Empire.

"Indeed, it is difficult to build prestige, but it is easy to tear it down." Wayne agreed.

"Even if there is an imperial fleet, it will only be small-scale, mainly for harassment and support."

"That guy is actually quite crazy. If I were there, I would probably make the same judgment, but perhaps not so decisively. May the spirit of the universe bless him, he is right, and now the threat from the Blood Gate has been basically eliminated." Wayne changed the subject:

"But, even if it is only a small-scale fleet to support harassment, it will inevitably distract Marshal Bonaparte's attention. The Empire has limited troops to attack the South Heaven Gate, but isn't the South Heaven Gate's troops stretched to the limit?"

Kent was speechless. He certainly knew that in order to maintain the front line of Said, Gibraltar's troops had already provided support for several rounds. In addition, the Outer Ring Fleet even squeezed out a group of fleets to stand by in New Shenzhou, hiding behind the Tower of Babel to provide backup for Yang's fleet.

"As long as the Empire shows enough threat in the direction of Nantianmen... I don't know what method they will use, but they will definitely find a way, which will be enough to cut off the retreat of the entire outer ring and the far shore. If that time really comes, if the main force of the enemy in Sai De launches a full-scale attack again, even Yu Lian will feel caught in a dilemma, right?"
