Him and their stars

At 22:15 pm on February 30, New Lushun Standard Time, the fluctuation data of the gravity well finally reached its peak. At this time, except for the wounded who were still soaking in the petri dish, all the soldiers on the earth side had returned to their posts.

Immediately afterwards, a steady stream of jump alarms sounded, and warships jumped into the system one after another. With just a rough judgment, it can be determined that the opponent's size is far greater than the previous predator fleet.

Immediately afterwards, clear images of these battleships were captured by unmanned reconnaissance equipment and sent to the big screen in the new Lushun Star Port headquarters.

They are all very typical imperial-style streamlined and spindle-shaped battleship designs, but they are far less solemn and oppressive than the imperial battleships that look like bosses at first glance. This is probably because of the painting. The exterior painting of these battleships is much more garish, and it looks a bit like the fluttering flags pointing to the forest when the armies set out in the cold weapon era. Many battleships even have gorgeous or mighty statues of gods on the front of the ship. Or a hideous and terrifying ghost face.

As a result, it is obviously a huge and advanced space fleet, but the flavor of the cold weapon era is even stronger. It's clear that there is a little bit of a monkey in the crown.

"Here we come! The empire has really fallen! I don't dare to break the rules, but I have to ask my younger brother to stand up for me. I'm so panicked for them." Yang Xiyi said with a smile.

His calm performance really infected the other officers in the command post. In other words, there were too many divine developments during this period. They were accustomed to doing things first and then being surprised, so they quickly got busy.

A few minutes later, the adjutant reported a more precise answer.

"Confirmed... There are 8 light aircraft carriers, including 3 Death Angel C-class ships and 5 Thunder Beast F-class ships. There are 14 heavy cruisers, including 8 Winged Knight-class ships and 6 Roar-class ships. In addition, there are also light cruisers. 15 ships, 30 destroyers and 30 assault ships each. Your Excellency, Commander, this is the combined fleet of the Katai and Bakvi people!"

Yes, although these battleships have undergone adaptive transformation, the imperial flavor is too overwhelming.

As the two most powerful (tui) allies (xiao) of the Galactic Empire, the Katai Cats and the Bakvi Birds can easily obtain (half-old) new models from their overlord father. Battleships and various production and modifications authorized. If the painting wasn't so stylized, it could actually be disguised as an Imperial fleet.

As for the problem that the warships prepared for humans are not suitable for use by cats and birdmen, don’t you see that there are Wulflings, Kiellings and other different races serving in the imperial army? As a qualified "ally", you must learn to adapt to the love of your suzerain father and become the shape of your suzerain father, not the other way around!

Of course, compared with the empire's restrained, grand and domineering ultimate engineering aesthetic, the artistic aesthetic of Cat and Birdman is obviously still in the Middle Ages. He really likes to add all kinds of exaggerated coatings and exterior decorations to his warships, thinking that this can chill the enemy's morale.

Whether it is useful or not is a metaphysics after all, but they really believe it anyway!

In any case, although this fleet does not have large battleships such as battle cruisers or above, nor does it have any ancient drones or Star Eaters to act as minions, but in terms of combat effectiveness alone, it has indeed surpassed the previous plundering fleet. On top of the fleet.

"Your Excellency..." The adjutant looked at Yang Xiyi. Not only him, but all the officers in the command headquarters looked at their young commander.

Of course, it is conceivable that both the New Lushun surface defense position and the Thirteenth Fleet next to it are also waiting for orders from this command room.

The latter had already slowly put down the black tea cup at this time, ignoring everyone's gazes, and said lightly: "All battleships and fortress guns open their doors and prepare for firing. First, three rounds of warning shots will be fired, and then the message will be sent. ask."

"Won't you send the letter first?" the adjutant asked hesitantly.

"This is New Lushun. They have invaded the community territory without any notification." Yang Xiyi said expressionlessly: "Oh, by the way, let the Aurora do the warning and shooting work!"

That girl Eleanor probably likes to do this kind of thing the most. More importantly, the Aurora is a Clear Sky-class cruiser, a cutting-edge battleship that the Empire has just begun to equip. If the Ketai and Bakwe people want equipment, they will probably have to wait in line for ten years.

Will this break the defenses of those big cats and birdmen? Yang Xiyi watched as the Aurora swaggered away from the main fleet array and pounced towards the mighty enemy fleet on the opposite side.

Judging from her strutting and triumphant look, she looked like a lion king patrolling his territory, as if the opposite side was not a fleet of more than a hundred ships with unknown purpose and no distinction between friend and foe.

Yang Xiyi's guess was correct. If it were someone else, he might think that the commander had something against him and wanted to retaliate deliberately. However, Eleanor Bonaparte showed an enthusiastic smile and waved the battleship forward.

"Switch to the first attack speed, use the ion main gun, target X217, Z461, and D882 space points, and fire three rounds of salvos." She shouted loudly.

Even if the officers and soldiers on board the Aurora had objections to this order, they would never dare to express them.

This battleship, which was famous in the New World, suddenly made a charge. The warships of the two combined fleets were startled, and they all quickly opened the gun doors in front of them.

Immediately afterwards, the Aurora suddenly stopped outside the range and fired three times in succession towards the enemy fleet on the opposite side. She uses an ion cannon instead of a railgun with unlimited range, which is a typical deterrent warning shot.

But even so, several Kaitai and Bakwei warships subconsciously began to evade, causing obvious chaos in the array.

"Ah ha ha ha, you are a cowardless rat, no, you are a cowardless beast!" Eleanor pointed at the opponent's fleet and let out a hearty and bright laugh.

If Cat Man and Bird Man were really ready for war, they might have pounced on them by now. However, facing the Aurora that came forward single-handedly, they slowly stopped outside the shooting range. Although they had formed a formation ready to attack at any time, their progress had indeed stopped.

Then, a few minutes later, the communication invitation from the other party was finally sent to New Lushun.

After it was connected, two framed pictures appeared, one was a blue-haired bird head and the other was a cat head with dark red hair. Yang Xiyi said that he was blind to all races except humans, and glanced at the adjutant next to him out of the corner of his eye.

The adjutant quickly lowered his voice and said: "Lieutenant General Nova Blue Ling of the Bakvi Republic, and Prince Charon Orangmane of the Kingdom of Katai."

Can you actually tell the difference between a bird and a cat? What a talent! Yang Xiyi expressed respect to his adjutant with admiring eyes, then raised his eyebrows and said curiously: "Ignoring the former, why does the latter's name sound familiar?"

The adjutant opened his mouth slightly, and then said helplessly: "The Battle of the West End Galaxy two years ago! Are you forgetting it now?"

Yang Xiyi then showed a surprised expression, and then pursed his lips unhappily, as if he had just dug out some useless information from a certain trench in the cerebral cortex.

"Oh, him! Wait, according to the gameplay of their Kingdom of Cathay, can they still lead troops after losing the battle?"

"Here, his status as Crown Prince has been stripped away, and the Iron Prince has also been deprived of him. Of course, you can still lead troops. It's just that the previous ship was fearless, but now it's been replaced by a heavy cruiser. It's already very humiliating. Yes." the adjutant explained.

Yang Xiyi felt that this was quite reasonable, so he looked at Prince Kaitai over there with sympathetic eyes.

At this time, the beak of the blue-feathered Bakvi seemed to tremble uncontrollably, while the dark red hair of Prince Katai next to him seemed to be baring his teeth.

Well, when those two pictures popped up, the call between the two parties had already started. It was hard to tell whether Yang Xiyi was deliberately irritating the other party.

In addition, the adjutant, who was almost the same age as the commander, did not lower his voice deliberately, so it was definitely intentional.

Of course, leaving aside the Lieutenant General Lan Ling next to him, what surprised people was Prince Charon Orang Mane. You must know that after the Battle of the West End Galaxy, the former crown prince of the kingdom has become the object of ridicule across the universe. He is destined to be ridiculed as an ignorant and brainless man until the next century.

However, although this brainless common man was angered by Yang Xiyi, he did not lose control. But after taking two deep breaths, he immediately regained his composure, and patiently said with a smooth pronunciation: "This is a misunderstanding, General Yang."

"Misunderstanding?" Yang Xiyi looked at this member of the Kaitai royal family with great interest, and lamented that the growth of a person is still very amazing.

"Yes, it's just a misunderstanding." Lieutenant General Lan Ling also said: "We and the Blue Star Community are both members of the Galactic Civilization Council and are undoubted friends. This time, it is also to practice the laws of the Galactic Civilization Council. We are here to fight against the evil plunderers. I hope your country will stay calm and not overreact, causing an incident that will make the loved ones angry and the haters happy.”

Prince Charon Mane said: "We are also the first country to send volunteer troops to the New World. The only purpose, of course, is to protect the civilians of your country and carry out humanitarian relief..."

At this point, his mane and beard twitched together, and he could no longer continue to speak in the subsequent high-sounding scenes. Probably because he made himself sick.

Lieutenant General Lan Ling quickly added: "For specific circumstances, you can communicate with the Earth. We have been authorized by the Galactic Civilization Council. It is really rude to cross the border without notifying you, and it will cause you a lot of trouble. It’s troublesome, but it’s really a legal action.”

Yang Xiyi narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at General Bakwei opposite him as if he was looking at something strange. He stared at him for several seconds. He probably didn't expect that there were such shameless people in the world.

This behavior was indeed not very polite, but instead of being irritated, General Bakvi was made a little restless by the other party's look. A face that resembled a blue-haired macaw showed obvious embarrassment.

You know, this is a new continent, and there is no instant communication of seismic waves. Even if the gravitational wave "beacon" is used to conduct unlimited transmission, it will take at least three to five days to contact the earth. The daylilies were cold by then.

"The Galactic Civilization Parliament is an international coordination organization and does not exceed the authority of each country's sovereignty and national defense security. In addition, our country has never sent any invitations to you, at least I have not received such news. Lieutenant General Lan Ling, and this Your Highness, I repeat once again, this place already belongs to our country, and this is undoubtedly an illegal border crossing."

Yang Xiyi looked at the two men calmly and said: "Please withdraw from our country immediately. Otherwise, I can only fulfill my duty as a soldier and carry out unrestricted military strikes against all your country's cross-border fleets."

The soldiers of the Thirteenth Fleet and the fortress defense force had been fighting hard all day. But in fact, even if the entire fleet is in complete condition, and even the Scarlet Throne is present, it can never be compared with the combined fleet of the two countries.

However, Yang Xiyi's attitude was so natural. It was as if the huge combined fleet on the opposite side was like a chicken or a dog in front of the exhausted own fleet.

The Birdman Lieutenant General and the Catman Prince seemed speechless and fell into silence for a while.

"I will give you one hour to exit this galaxy and 72 hours to exit our country. Start counting now." Yang Xiyi left these words and ignored the other party's reaction and closed the communication without explanation.

In this way, the combined fleets of the two countries, as well as the Thirteenth Fleet, faced off near the entrance of the gravity well.

During this period, Yang Xiyi started to doze off in his command position as if nothing had happened. The adjutant cautiously moved closer, and actually heard the snoring. For a moment, he didn't know what kind of expression he should make.

"...Can you get through to Mr. Marklov on the Saratoga? Can I ask his opinion?" an officer present asked.

Only then did everyone realize that the old man with a weak sense of presence seemed to be the second-in-command of the entire New World military.

Soon, Major General Marklov's order was also sent: "Ignore these intruders, just do whatever you need to do."

Ever since, the engineering team started working. More than a dozen large and small engineering ships began to collect the remains of the ancient drones right under the noses of the two opposing fleets.

As for the corpse of the Star Eater floating further away, there are also scientific ships sailing over to prepare for preliminary exploration work.

After all, it was an oversized space Leviathan, a natural disaster-level giant. No one could guarantee that it didn't carry any deadly viruses or other chemical toxins. For safety reasons, of course, a preliminary investigation is still needed before mining the corpse that winds for hundreds of miles as a rare mineral.

All the above processes were planned by Yang Xiyi before. Now that he has not given any other orders, and the second-in-command old man is also acting as if he is following the rules, everyone naturally has no choice but to obey orders.

However, in the eyes of the combined fleet of the Kaitai and Bakvi people on the opposite side, they were completely ignored. The level of ridicule is simply too much. You can imagine how much the cats and birds are suffering now.

However, the Aurora is still like a lion standing in front of a pack of hyenas, proud and peerless. The front main gun was always pointed firmly at the Cathay cruiser closest to itself, showing no sign of retreating.

Then, 25 minutes after Yang Xiyi's "ultimatum" was sent, a signal appeared again from the gravity well in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, a high-speed cruise ship that was slightly smaller than an assault ship jumped into the New Lushun Galaxy.

She sailed towards the center line of the confrontation between the two parties at a constant speed. It was obvious that the combined fleet was the smallest ship present, but the warships of the two countries hurriedly moved to both sides, leaving a clear path, as if they were vulgar attendants making way for their noble king.

In front of those warships from the two countries that were painted as colorfully as if you were an unconventional young man, this silver-painted cruise ship seemed to be drenched in moonlight, and it was indeed as elegant as a real king.

At this time, the projection captured by the unmanned reconnaissance equipment had already shown the entire appearance of the cruise ship, and also reflected the coat of arms and coat of arms inlaid on the bow of the ship.

The alternating emblems of the spear and the scepter on the shield are wrapped in gold. This is the emblem that can only be used by the Astral Knights. The shield has vines as its main body on both sides and a ruby ​​iron crown, which is the status symbol of the Grand Master.

Under the sapphire golden crown is the coat of arms of twelve white-bearded stags. This is the coat of arms of the Duke of Sadolan.

The grand leader of the Astral Knights, one of the most important humanoid weapons of the Galactic Empire, arrived in the New World on a cruise ship.
