Him and their stars

Yu Lian not only knew that there were pursuers from the Empire, but also knew that the scale of the pursuers was quite large. After all, during the previous Battle of Said, he saw with his own eyes that even though he had seized the Dragon Ship Tour and imploded the Tirero Brave Advance, the overall reaction of the Empire Army was still stable and calm.

At any time, they would keep at least a quarter of the fleet as the general reserve.

Needless to say, it was prepared for pursuit.

Yu Lian wanted to run, the Empire knew that Yu Lian wanted to run, and Yu Lian also knew that the Empire knew that he wanted to run. At this point in the battle, both sides actually had a tacit understanding.

For the Empire, regardless of whether Yu Lian could really run away, they must be fully prepared.

Yu Lian could even be sure that when they had just set out on the journey of thousands of miles home, the Empire's pursuit fleet was estimated to have completed its formation and immediately set off in a swagger.

The Empire's pursuit fleet looked like it was gathering strength. If it had not been deliberately planned, it would never be so efficient.

In fact, he had just led the fleet out of the battlefield of Sai De, and the reconnaissance ship left at the end had already confirmed the existence of the Empire's pursuers. The number was unknown, but at least around 200, and it must include the murderous capital ships.

At that time, Yu Lian was ready to let his side make a comeback and hit the opponent head-on.

However, the pursuing Imperial fleet seemed to have sensed his intention, and actually slowed down, allowing his side to distance themselves from them.

In comparison, the situation along the way of the Athena was more intense. On May 19, they had a small-scale exchange of fire with the Imperial pursuit fleet in the Lu (Knar) Corridor-D3 system.

Ten new Imperial destroyers suddenly accelerated and caught up, trying to torpedo the Earth warships that fell behind. This is a destroyer that no one has ever seen before, with an extremely fast charge speed, fierce firepower, and even a bit of the charm of a torpedo ship when it is maneuvered.

Of course, under the surveillance of the light-wing fighters, no matter how advanced the destroyers are, they can't really create any objective results. This kind of operation is more of a harassment than an attack.

After the destroyers found that they couldn't take advantage, they immediately turned around and ran away.

Then, the imperial pursuit fleet on the Lu Corridor gradually slowed down the pursuit.

In this way, the imperial fleet, whose number is unknown but the scale is definitely huge, is like a big man with a burly body, a ferocious smile, and a wrench in his hand. He follows you with a broken smile, and keeps a distance that you can definitely see with your own eyes. If you are slow, he is slow too, if you are fast, he is fast too, and he doesn't chase you when you run; but once you can't run anymore, you can see him again after walking around a corner.

He still has a grin that doesn't doubt his good intentions, and even waves a wrench to do radio gymnastics for you.

... Indeed, it sounds infuriating.

Yu Lian guessed that the Imperial Army should not intend to fight to the death with the Far Shore Nebula, but just wanted to keep the pressure on the Imperial Army to save their physical and mental strength.

And now, when the enemy came up again, Yu Lian reaffirmed his guess.

This may be a tactic with some practical significance, but it is a pity that it is a little tasteless.

"Well, our mighty followers are trying every means to increase their presence, but from the current point of view, it is not very meaningful."

So far, the morale of the entire army has always been maintained in a fairly stable state, as if the Imperial pursuers were completely ignored.

Chief of Staff Mkawa said: "It's not that the Empire's tactics are useless, it's just because we met you."

Yu Lian was a little distressed for a while.

This old, serious but upright old chief of staff has learned to flatter, isn't this a kind of degeneration? Can the upright atmosphere of the fleet be maintained? Is he really going to become the "ink" in "those who are close to ink are black"?

The chief of staff explained, "Because everyone believes in all the decisions you make, whether it's to rush forward or to turn back to fight, everyone is willing to execute them without compromise. If you order us to turn around immediately and fight back to Sai De to fight the enemy's main force, we will execute it without hesitation."

The other party's words were very sincere, and Yu Lian had to believe it, but he could also hear that the chief of staff seemed to have something else in his words.

He was secretly admonishing me, because I have already made a final decision, so I must be cautious when making decisions? For this old-fashioned old soldier who is a discipline committee member, this may be the limit of what he can do.

Yu Lian stared at the other party across the screen, but suddenly found that the chief of staff, who was more than twice as old as him, turned his eyes away, with a trace of panic on his face, as if he had just done something disrespectful.

Yu Lian was very glad that he did not feel the slightest bit of displeasure after being offended, but was a little relieved. This may mean that even if he climbs higher and higher, and his life state is getting further and further away from that of a decent human being, at least in the spiritual realm, there is still room for salvation.

He said loudly: "Chief of Staff, can you confirm the exact identity of the enemy flagship?"

The veteran quickly switched to a qualified chief of staff and explained: "The reconnaissance destroyer No. 211 of the Dove is trying to detect more details, but the Imperial Fleet is heavily guarded and difficult to approach. The only certainty is that this fleet includes a Flame Dragon-class dreadnought and at least three battlecruisers."

Well, just based on the combat power on paper, it is enough to fight a big battle with our side

"Then let the Sky Survey Eye approach for reconnaissance. I need to confirm whether this fleet is the same as the one we discovered last week."

When retreating, Yu Lian of course took all the Sky Survey Eyes away. This kind of automatic detector that costs as much as a cruiser is really easy to use, not to mention that it has been strengthened by Xiao Hui.

In terms of reconnaissance effect, it may be better than the professional reconnaissance ships brought by most experienced old captains.

Of course, in order to ensure that there is no risk, the chief of staff also deployed several reconnaissance ships. They dare not approach for reconnaissance now, but they also sent the same report as the Sky Survey Eye.

"Understood!"

Yu Lian thought for a while, consumed another lollipop and an old knife, stood up and left the room, and walked to the bridge.

The commander's office and living room is not far from the bridge, and it won't take long even if you walk.

He walked through the dome corridor on the top floor of the ship, and as he moved forward, his eyes swept across the Dragon Ship Tour outside the porthole. I don't know when, the emblem of the Dawn Royal on the golden dragon ship has been scraped off, and a military emblem of the Community Space Fleet and a larger red character Yu have been painted in its place.

...Well, this is really too much. It won't cause any trouble if it spreads to the empire, but it won't sound good if it spreads to the dignitaries on Earth, right? This shouldn't be Feifei's idea.

As soon as Yu Lian had this thought, his dynamic vision far exceeded that of ordinary people, and he clearly caught the fantasy beast with flame-colored wings flying past the warship. The brilliant spiritual light formed a scarlet color like a flame, wrapping the giant beast's swift-like body, as if lighting up the entire starry sky around it.

The ordinary soldiers in the corridor probably only thought they saw a comet across the sky, but they still waved their hands and cheered.

Of course, Yu Lian saw the figure of the space beast under the flames. No matter how you look at it, it is a magical giant bird with a wingspan of 100 meters, covered with feathers that seem to be made of flames. Even the head has distinct features like a beak and a crown, and the shape is exquisite and gorgeous. Three pairs of organs like eyes contain spiritual light, like a gem with a ball of fire burning inside.

"So, what is it like a dragon? Birds are descendants of dinosaurs, so this is also a dragon, right?" Yu Lian sighed.

He now feels that the so-called eight stars "dragon" is completely derived from the cultural bullying of the Tirui people.

"Yeah. I think it's more like a phoenix than a dragon." Feifei's voice sounded at the terminal.

"Isn't it? If I change the world view, I will definitely go down the road of no return as a trainer." Yu Lian sighed.

"Oh, is this the new script that Yu'er is preparing to write recently? The war is dangerous, but Yu'er still has such a refined interest. If this spreads, everyone will be more relieved."

"Let's just take it as it is. In general, it is actually about a boy who wants to be a champion, but has been ups and downs in the professional arena with many strong teams for more than 20 years and has never won any decent trophies. The girls all leave him, and only an electric mouse pet never leaves him."

"... It sounds like another sad realistic story."

The flame "dragon" has slowed down now, and the wings made of fire seem to have stagnated, revealing the figure wearing the emblem machine sitting on the dragon's back, still waving to Yu Lian.

If it's not Feifei, who else could it be?

Of course, with her current ability, she can still stand on the dragon's back and travel in space even if she is wearing a water ski suit, just like surfing. However, this will have a strong impact on the onlookers. At that time, morale will not be boosted, and if there is a pathetic thick barrier between everyone, won't it have the opposite effect?

Yu Lian looked at the mount crawling at Feifei's feet again: "Is this the most arrogant Flame Winged Dragon? Now it is finally honest?"

"He is just stressed. We must be patient and loving when dealing with small animals." Feifei looked like a core member of the little animal protection.

The Flame Winged Dragon she is dealing with now is the strongest and oldest of the four remaining "dragons" on the Xunli, but also the most proud one. It was quite uncooperative when Feifei seized the ship.

If it hadn't been slapped and two teeth were knocked out, I'm afraid it would have gone crazy in the ship.

However, the facts now prove that beasts are beasts after all. There are no loyal beasts, only beasts that haven't been disciplined enough. Although Yu Lian would rather see this fire dragon be arrogant, it is better to be submissive if it wants to be used as a weapon.

"Can it be used?"

"It's a little short of charging the barrage head-on, but it's enough to fight a favorable battle. Colonel Walter will try it later. A tamed dragon is essentially the same as a tamed warhorse."

"Sure enough, Feifei actually unlocked a hidden profession like a trainer!"

"Thank you. If Yu'er wants to discuss your new script with me, just wait until I get back." Feifei drove the huge Flame Winged Dragon towards the direction of the Tour, and continued to report: "In addition, the hangar converted from the Dragon's Nest is also running very smoothly."

"I have seen this. The captain and the engineering team have done an excellent job. However, won't the star dragons be dissatisfied with this?"

"This is equivalent to decorating next door to your own house! Dissatisfaction is inevitable. The key is to see how to persuade these children in a friendly way." Feifei stretched out the iron foot of the emblem machine and rubbed it on the back of the Flame Winged Dragon, as if trying to grind off the mud on the sole of the shoe.
