Him and their stars

One of the robots even passed by within a straight line distance of less than a hundred meters from Yu Lian's Swift. Only then did Yu Lian finally see the appearance of that thing clearly. It was a structure about ten meters long, with a streamlined diamond shape as a whole. It looked somewhat similar to the unmanned wingmen widely used by major civilizations.

This should be the "security robot" with the OB number that Xiao Hui mentioned.

Yu Lian believed that it would be as easy for these ancient robots to beat up the escorting drones as it would be for senior psychic warriors to beat up mortal soldiers. Then, if you want to deal with your own Swift, which lacks even basic air defense capabilities, you don't even need to fire, you just need to move your body and hit it.

However, at this critical moment, Earl Black Moon in the back seat patted the seat lightly.

Yu Lian could feel the mysterious spiritual power fluctuations spreading throughout the ship, but to the naked eyes of outsiders, nothing was happening at all.

Immediately afterwards, as if the robot couldn't see the Swift that was so close at hand, it accelerated directly upwards. After reuniting with its companions, it then flew off into the distance.

"The last thirty-eight, all security robots have been dispatched." Xiao Hui said: "If their first target is you, there is an 80% chance that we will be shot down on the spot before we arrive at our destination. Fall. You are lucky to have very reliable comrades."

Indeed, Yu Lian looked at Earl Black Moon behind him.

"I've been walking around the world for so many years, but after all I'm just a thief. I haven't learned the ability to kill enemies and break formations, but I still have a few tricks to hide my head and show my tail." Earl Black Moon said with a smile:

little tricks? Yu Lian estimated that this move was most likely "existential shielding". As the name suggests, what exists is not visual heat perception or the like, but a higher-level "existence". Of course, it can be regarded as the most advanced stealth calligraphy.

Too much modesty is Versailles. However, it's not annoying for such an old-timer to pretend occasionally, and he even finds it inexplicably cool.

"I didn't expect that this little trick could also work on robots from the Enlightenment era."

Yu Lian thought to himself that it didn't matter even if it didn't work. Anyway, he was already prepared for the forced landing of a single soldier. For this reason, he even tied the accessories for the assault landing on his heraldry machine early.

...As for the Earl of Black Moon behind him, he is at least the sixth ring or above. Even if he cannot fly as spiritually as his master, he should have no problem crossing the universe of thousands of meters.

Of course, it is indeed a bit unkind to let this old man, who may be several hundred years old by visual inspection, play Void Walk. If he hadn't been forced to do so, Yu Lian really wouldn't have wanted to do this. Fortunately, Earl Black Moon's methods were unpredictable and he successfully misled the ancient robot's determination of hostility.

Although the landing craft everyone was riding was about to hit the hole in the hull, to these defense robots and the central AI of the ancient ship, they were like mosquitoes and there was no need to pay too much attention.

In this case, Yu Lian was certainly not prepared to be polite. He controlled the Swift and finally adjusted its position to avoid the last round of barrages. He then released the disintegration generator on the bow of the ship and inserted it into the gap.

Well, the angle and strength are both perfect and something to be proud of.

Probably because the last step of this action was executed perfectly. Therefore, before Swift finally submerged into the vortex on the silver mirror, Yu Lian even had room to use some of his physical and mental energy to confirm the current situation between the enemy and ourselves using cosmic perception and the ship's sensors.

The drones that successfully performed the escort mission for themselves were all destroyed in the end. However, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Dutt who took off in person, the manned fighter planes flown by everyone successfully withdrew outside the safe range and were heading towards the Throne. direction to return.

On the other side, a large number of guard robots were still fighting with the master who was riding the "Flying Sword" and the Duke of Sartolan who was attached to the cruiser. For a while, it was impossible to tell the winner. Another small group, that is, the group that ignored them just now, rushed directly towards the imperial fleet that was circling behind.

...I hope these brave Imperial soldiers, as well as Brother Soback on the Blizzard, will go well.

May the spirit of the universe be with you!

From the same bullet, Yeager Soback on the Tempest felt a little chilly for a moment and almost couldn't help but sneeze. He felt that someone must be cursing him, and suddenly even the hair on his neck turned over several times involuntarily.

Otherwise, there is really no way to explain why he always feels the malice of the spirit of the universe.

He couldn't help but think so. His own fleet was just conducting a tactical outflank, and had not even opened fire yet. It was even a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from the ancient ship over there, and those ancient robots rushed towards him in a menacing manner.

The Earthlings' Swift has already been inserted into your belly. How can you ignore them? You guys are having too much double standards, right?

Fortunately, although he was distraught because of such sudden malice, the experienced Captain Hongshan always remained calm. Just when the robots lined up and rushed toward his side, he immediately launched an attack and smashed out the four space-bubble torpedoes in the cabin.

The length of each torpedo drilled out from the launch tube at the bottom of the Buran is not much different from the Swift just now. Compared to those robots that have entered a sublight speed charge state, their speed is as slow as paper airplanes popped up by a slingshot.

However, these ancient drones that swooped over probably didn't realize what these "backward" equipment meant. They didn't even make a move to dodge, they just plunged straight into the sudden explosion, and then they couldn't see clearly anymore.

"Eye, the target is silent..." the radar officer said in a shocked tone.

"I don't dare to hope for this. I have participated in the development of ancient ruins several times. The dolls left by these enlightened people are stronger than the last." Captain Hongshan sighed. Although it was his first time to use a powerful weapon such as an anti-matter bomb, he never dared to hope that he could wipe out all the enemies at once.

"Then you should prepare to run... uh, no, prepare to continue maneuvering!" Soback gritted his teeth. He immediately realized that his performance seemed a little hysterical, and said again: "Yes, we must continue to maneuver! Then we will take this opportunity to distance ourselves from the enemy."

"Yes, continue to maneuver according to the original plan!" Captain Hongshan ordered the entire fleet: "Be prepared to attack!"

Therefore, during the period when the enemy drone was engulfed by the explosion of the anti-matter bomb, the imperial fleet continued to carry out the originally planned outflank maneuver, even speeding up a bit, and soon turned in a counterclockwise direction. The other side of the ship then threw all the firepower at it.

The first thing to hit the outer wall of the ancient ship were four space bubble torpedoes thrown by the Singer aircraft carrier. Although the Singer as an aircraft carrier is not equipped with any high-power main guns, it is still equipped with four large gravity slingshots used to launch torpedoes.

At this distance, even at the low speed of the space bubble torpedo, it still hit the target.

The most advanced space bubble generator is really useless. Those space membranes that were enough to wrap the torpedo body and penetrate the asteroid were directly absorbed by the silver light even after they were exposed.

However, this silver shield, which can absorb almost all energy, cannot withstand low-speed, high-quality objects. As a result, the torpedo sailing at a constant speed finally penetrated the chaos smoothly, clung to the outer wall of the hull, and then started the explosion.

The annihilation properties of antimatter materials finally caused unnatural spots to appear on these warm and elegant silver lusters, which was almost exactly the same effect as the "Black Bird" released by Lan Jiufeng just now.

At the same time, the railguns of the Buran and the four Aegis destroyers had also completed their salvos.

Of course, their main gun is far less powerful than the Scarlet Throne, and it has not been augmented by an eighth-ring psyker. But after all, it uses expensive special anti-spiritual artillery shells infused with zero element, and it is fired at close range.

So, after a crackling bombardment, the same piercing finally appeared in front of everyone.

It must be said that this irregular arc-shaped fleet movement does reflect the tempered quality of the Imperial Army. Not only did they successfully complete the planned outflanking action, they also took the opportunity to close the distance with the target again, successfully entered the best attack location, and successfully penetrated the outer wall of the target.

Just for one thing, the credit for this "joint archaeological" operation cannot only be attributed to the people on earth.

Of course, the few backup Bakvi destroyers were obviously not adapted to such a difficult maneuver, and they immediately fell out of formation, and were likely to be overtaken by the drones following behind.

However, neither the Marquis' daughter on the Singer nor Captain Hongshan on the Blizzard paid much attention to this. In the view of these direct officers of the imperial army, the army of the vassal state was originally obliged to bear the obligation of cannon fodder.

Wasn't it just for this moment that these destroyers were recruited from the Bakvi Fleet?

However, the first person to express concern was Soback himself, who signed the transfer order.

"They can't help much anymore. Let them evacuate behind the planet and wait." Soback said.

Captain Hongshan was a little surprised and looked back at Soback.

Facing the scrutinizing eyes of the old Kyeyyan captain, Soback said bravely: "...They really can't help anymore. And with the fighting power of the Bakvi people, we can't expect them to really be able to fight in ancient times. How long can you last in front of a defense robot?"

Captain Hongshan nodded slightly, but smiled: "Indeed, we still have four torpedoes on board, and there are six more on the Singer over there. Even if those birdmen don't have to die, they can always fight for you. A little time.”

"Strive for what?"

"Jump to join the gang! Isn't this our original purpose?" Captain Hongshan patted Soback hard on the shoulder: "Your old enemy opposite has jumped, which shows that the heroes have the same views! So, too It’s your turn!”

The corners of Soback's mouth curled up a little. Of course he knew that this moment would come sooner or later, but when it did come, it was still difficult to accept this reality.

"...But, I am exploring." He was preparing to make one last effort.

"Ha, what exploration?" The captain looked confused.

Well, Soback then remembered that Captain Hongshan was a "mortal", so naturally he didn't understand the "occupational classification" of psykers, and he didn't seem to want to understand, or he pretended not to understand.

"Speaking of which, after this battle, I should retire." Captain Hongshan suddenly said in a confused manner.

Soback was startled for a moment, and then his eyes became frightened.

"Look, look, you also think my words sound very unlucky, don't you? Tsk tsk, you psykers who can control the wind and rain, when you are superstitious, you are just as good as my old woman who still stays in the country to raise cattle. "Captain Hongshan sneered, then slammed the table hard and said loudly: "Anyway, the baron shows up, listen to me! I will keep the words here and finish this battle! I am about to retire. , get ready to enjoy a quiet and happy retirement life! If you don’t have any objections to my partner who has been with you for a year, then hurry up and get rid of that arrogant antique!"

The young knight stared blankly at the old captain who suddenly became excited, and was stunned speechless by the other man's courage.

At this time, the communicator next to the captain's seat suddenly flashed, and a light curtain lit up. On the light screen, Miss Seru, the daughter of the Marquis, who was already fully armed and wearing a heraldic machine, was giving a military salute with her helmet under her arm: "Sir, we... uh, I came at a bad time, didn't I?"

From the corner of Soback's eye, he could see the face of Miss Knight. He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt an unknown energy coming from somewhere that filled his soul, making him feel nervous.

He held his head high and said with great courage: "No, you came at the right time! I will be the first to step into hell! You can compete with me!"

Captain Hongshan looked at Soback's expression, and his eyes suddenly showed visible contempt. He took a step back and sat back in his chair.

The lady knight on the other side of the screen was slightly startled, then her eyes lit up, she stood at attention and saluted again, and said in a deep voice: "I understand! I and all the knights will conquer hell with you until death!"

This kind of expedition slogan is of course very consistent with the empire's consistent style of honor and war. But in fact, the internal facilities of this ancient scientific research ship are not like hell at all, and can even be regarded as magnificent. At least, when Yu Lian jumped out of the landing port at the front of the heraldry machine and saw the scene inside the ship, he thought he had arrived at the corridor of the temple.

This should be the outermost corridor of the scientific research ship, but it is also more than five meters wide, without any feeling of narrowness and oppression. The floor and walls are covered with translucent materials, which are so bright that people's reflections can be cast on them. Every five meters, the floor and surrounding walls are decorated with patterns composed of elegant and complex patterns. At first glance, it looks like an interior decoration carefully crafted by an artist. Of course, I don’t know if there are other functions, but Yu Lian can’t tell.

Generally speaking, such flashy decoration is rarely used on spacecraft. Even an empire that pays the most attention to ritual and emphasizes that "only by fearing authority can one be virtuous" would not be able to decorate all its ships in such a solemn and luxurious palace style. Even the Dawn Angel, which later became the flagship of the Imperial Army, only had an additional audience room decorated.

However, this is what enlightened people do.

However, this is at least certain that the empire's overly gorgeous culture was indeed greatly influenced by the relics of the Enlightened Ones. In other words, no matter whether it is an alliance or a community, no empire has been completely affected.
