Him and their stars

After Jaeger Sobek took a few seconds to catch his breath, he said, "Seek, seek help? Is it that Vice Admiral Karaman?"

Vice Admiral Midbeshi nodded.

"The noble Marquis of Esovar, Vice Admiral Karaman?"

Vice Admiral Midbeshi continued to nod.

The corners of Sobek's mouth trembled uncontrollably. In order to pursue the Athena formation of the Earthlings, the Karaman fleet has already taken the Nebula Fork Road No. 1. If we really want to rescue here, it means that everyone must take the initiative to attack and penetrate the main force of the opposite Yu Fleet, so as to find a route to meet.

In addition, even if everyone repelled the main force of the opposite Yu Lian Fleet and took the branch route, it would not be the Karaman Fleet that would immediately greet them, but the Athena Group of the Earth, right?

...Wait? This is not scientific!

Sobek immediately felt something was wrong: "Did the Fuxi Group on the opposite side go to the nebula fork to provide support?"

Lieutenant General Midbeshi shook his head: "No. Our reconnaissance drones have confirmed that the enemy's main force is right in front of us, and there is no change at all."

"Then why did the Karaman fleet ask for help?"

They have an advantage in manpower, fleet and personnel status, and combat readiness. They did suffer a little loss when they were chasing the day before yesterday, but it was just because of carelessness.

In theory, they should not be beaten by the earthlings to the point of needing help, right?

"What did he say specifically?" Major General Sobek felt that the situation at the scene seemed to be a little bit demonic.

"There is no specific communication, but only a signal for help." Lieutenant General Midbeshi said.

This is actually understandable. The interior of the Far Shore Nebula is full of chaotic magnetic fields, space turbulence, and even black holes that swallow light and energy. Communications will of course be affected. It is enough to keep the signal unobstructed, and there is no expectation of high-definition 48-frame delay-free video communication at all times.

However, in this context, without seeing the face of Vice Admiral Karaman who sent the distress signal, I always felt that something was wrong.

The commander and deputy commander of the fleet looked at each other across the screen, and they could see the doubts in each other's eyes.

"So, this should be a trap?"

"We really can't rule out this possibility! Let's call the Karaman fleet as soon as possible."

"Yes, at least we need to get face-to-face confirmation. And, sir, where are our reinforcements?"

"The Laken fleet will take another 10 hours, and the Steier fleet will be even further away."

As I said, although the channel within the Far Shore Nebula can also accommodate large ships, it is called "Star Gorge" and "Corridor" after all, and the quality of the jump that can be undertaken is also limited. If you use so many troops to pursue, don't you still have to organize them into troops? Sobek couldn't help but complain a few more words in his heart, aren't you afraid of being defeated one by one?

Of course, he selectively ignored that the distance between several fleets would never exceed 24 hours. If all of these can be defeated by the exhausted remaining fleet, all the fleet admirals should be fed to the dragon.

"At this point, the fleet should be prepared for the attack." Vice Admiral Midbech said.

Sobek nodded and was about to give an order, but he seemed to remember something important and whispered: "Then we have to re-operate the fleet, but we must prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking at this time. Strictly speaking, in the third battle of Said, the 'Dawn Dragon' focused on the gaps when the fleet changed its formation when we were preparing for the general attack, and achieved those results."

"Indeed." The vice admiral nodded slightly: "Then, brother Yeager, the left wing led by you will continue to be responsible for the defense."

Sobek was startled and began to feel a dull pain in his feet. It must be the pain from the stone he was hitting just now.

"Don't look like that. If we have to attack later, I'll go first, is that okay?"

"This is not the key issue. I think we should not change the formation at will before we confirm the authenticity of the alarm."

The conversation between the chief and deputy commanders was of course wrapped in a soundproof force field. Otherwise, if it was really heard by people around, there would definitely be people like Miss Viscount Serlu who are full of ownership and sigh about how the imperial army has become like this.

So, the Midbeshi fleet waited in place for more than ten minutes.

Of course, during this process, they were not really "unmoved when friendly forces are in trouble", but they really used a high-power source wave communicator to call the direction of Nebula Fork Road No. 1.

Major General Sobek even suggested that the navigator use mystical means to contact friendly forces, but after learning that the navigator of this fleet was only a third ring, he gave up.

Well, not all psychics are gods who can travel across the galaxy without being bound by physics. Most of them are just ordinary people with some special abilities. This includes me.

Jaeger Sobek, when did you develop such an arrogant illusion?

He wanted to slap himself again, but before he could do so, the Viscountess ran over quickly.

"Received the latest signal from the Karaman fleet, it's a video communication!"

When the terminal of the Royal Rabbit was connected to the communication, Sobek also noticed the prompt that Vice Admiral Midbeshi was online. So, the commander and deputy commander of the fleet saw Vice Admiral Karaman appearing on the screen at the same time.

The picture was still blurry and full of noise, but the faint explosion could clearly be heard. Considering that this was in space, it could only mean that the explosion sounded within his hull and was very close to the bridge.

Naturally, this general who paid great attention to aristocratic decency and cherished his words like gold also had a very obvious look of panic on his face: "We were attacked by a sneak attack?"

"Sneak attack?" Soback stood up.

There was no answer. Obviously, this request for help is not an instant message, but a one-way video playback.

"We were attacked by the magic dragon! Our ship was attacked! General Midbexi, the Fuxi fleet in front of you must be dispatched! Please send troops quickly. As long as you launch an attack, you can form a double flank. Everything will be fine.”

He seemed to be trying to calm down, but his face couldn't hide his panic and distress, and there was even a hint of vibrato in his voice. Of course, there is one thing to say. From a purely content perspective, General Klarman’s words are not completely unreasonable.

He added: "I will try my best to persist. But... General Midbesh, for the sake of the empire and his alma mater, please help your brother."

For such a proud nobleman to be so disrespectful of dignity, he must have been really cornered, right?

However, this is still unscientific!

Soback looked at Lieutenant General Karaman's distorted and even exaggerated expression of fear, then looked at the star map on the right, and finally glanced at the situation map of the two armies on the left - according to the display on it, the opposite side The main force of the remaining fleets in the galaxy did not move at all, but still put up a formation full of flaws, as if they were waiting for their own side to attack.

This evil spirit is really too strong.

Moreover, why did you start asking for help when they haven’t even tried their best?

But he didn't know if it was because of preconceptions. He now felt that Lieutenant General Klarman's request for help seemed a bit demonic.

He still feels that this is a trap, so he immediately sent a communication to the flagship Golden Skull: "Sir, Lieutenant General Klarman's request for help always feels a little, um... a little weird."

"Weird? Do you think this might be a trap?"

Sobek responded by default.

"Can psykers do this? Can they also interfere with our encrypted military communications?" General Midbexi, a mortal, also looked suspicious.

Soback's face was expressionless, he looked at the Lieutenant General with a keen eye, and continued to answer in default. In fact, he couldn't answer it himself.

Although he is also a member of the Knights and a close disciple of the previous Grand Master, his attainments and cultivation in mysticism are only at the average level of a fourth-ring psyker. In addition, if personality factors are taken into account, the actual combat effectiveness may not be average.

What's more, this method of using occult methods to monitor, induce and interfere has always been the method of the Tribunal and the Star View Pavilion. The warriors of the Knights all said that they were not familiar with these operations because they lacked martial ethics and lack of decency.

Of course, if he is a master of both swords and spells like the current grand leader, Duke Xia Ming, he can probably give a definite answer. It's a pity that His Highness has really returned to the Heaven Realm, and it is said that he is preparing to go back to apologize.

Before leaving, she also awarded promotion orders to several senior frontline generals who had a "part-time job" in the Knights, including Major General Yeager Soback. I have to admit that Duke Garibian is at least a very good leader.

In this way, Major General Yeager Soback, who had just been awarded the title of Flag Guard of the Knights, was suddenly stared at by Lieutenant General Midbexi and felt a little guilty. However, to the latter, his silence seemed to have a bit of unfathomable reserve.

"Okay, psykers are omnipotent." The Lieutenant General sighed, but: "I think his request for help is very real. Brother Yeager, Karaman and I have known each other for more than thirty years. We have been classmates since we were in the Junior Military Academy. I know that he is such a pretentious type."

So, are you friends or not?

"More importantly, we received this call for help. That's more important than anything else."

Of course Soback understood what the other party meant, whether it was an exaggeration or a trap. When one's own side has received face-to-face pleas and requests for help from friendly forces, it is absolutely unjustifiable to remain inactive.

Indeed, a warlord who has ideals and hopes for progress should indeed pursue the strategic essence of "when friendly forces are in trouble, stay still", but as long as the central command department's control over the generals has not expired, this kind of thing will not happen. It will never happen.

They both sighed heavily at the same time. Lieutenant General Midbexi said: "In short, prepare to attack. Use the Golden Skull where I am as the first batch of jump fleets. After the jump is completed, start the attack immediately!"

Sobek suddenly had a new understanding of his commander. He seems to be a bit sloppy in terms of strategic performance, but he is still very bold and brave in tactics.

He wanted to say something else, but suddenly he received the latest communication projection from the Karaman fleet. Although the picture and sound effects were still blurry, this time it was finally instant messaging.

However, what is worrying is that the person who appears on the screen is not Lieutenant General Karaman, but Major General Tuckers, the deputy commander of Karaman's fleet.

"Where is General Karaman? What's the status of your fleet there?"

I don’t know if it’s because of the video quality, the general’s eyes are a little sluggish, and his voice is a little floating, like an old robot that is about to break down: "The battle is over. The fleet has retreated to the Fork Road 1-B3 galaxy and is on standby."

"Where is Karaman?"

"Captain Karaman has died for his country."
