Him and their stars

This point distorts the science and technology tree of the universe era. The so-called auxiliary command system also exists, and can also be backed up through portable terminals, but they are indeed dull and stupid. They are artificially retarded, and their intelligence is not as intelligent as Siri. Not much higher.

Even so, it's good to do some basic support and procedural work. This includes taking over control of space cities and battleships that have been physically captured by one's own side.

Of course, it takes quite some time to move from limited control to full control, but it can mean a lot.

"So, you have captured this predator's former enemy headquarters. Congratulations, sir." Feifei said to Yu Lianda and gave a military salute.

Miss Serlu looked at Feifei who had a matter-of-fact expression, gritting her teeth but being speechless. Little did she know that her commander was greatly relieved.

Soback felt that if he started a fight with Yu Lian over the ownership of this fortress, he might not survive for three seconds.

Isn’t it better now? It's not that we don't work hard, it's that the "allies" are too cunning. We have the overall situation in mind, so we can't make trouble.

So, he said to Yu Lian seriously: "In the final analysis, we are still friendly forces."

"Yes, of course you can use all the facilities here." Yu Lian smiled.

Then again, the defenders of this fortress are actually still resisting, and the planet predator fleet is still fighting hard. It is indeed a bit disrespectful to start discussing this kind of issue at this time, and there is always something to discuss. How to divide the winnings after winning the lottery.

As a result, both parties tacitly avoided the issue of ownership rights.

Everyone then used the captured agency room as their headquarters to gather more dispersed troops and spread them to the surrounding cabins little by little. Half an hour later, our own manpower exceeded 400. By this calculation, it had been an hour since the Buran stormed into the enemy fortress and fought hard, but the number of casualties so far was less than thirty. Regarding this point, Yu Lian had to praise the quality of this group of people again. Even if they are influenced by psykers and are caught off guard and lose their organization, they can still maintain the necessary tactical proficiency and will not completely become a defeated army at the mercy of others.

In other words, after all, the crew on this ship are theoretically attendants of the Astral Knights, and are considered quite elite by the standards of the Imperial Guard.

Putting it this way, the charge captain who was executed on the spot by Miss Sellu just now seemed a bit unjust.

Even so, it would be impossible for a mere four hundred people to completely occupy this fortress. Yeager Soback has been worried that the enemy has more than one stronghold in this galaxy, and there are at least forty or fifty warships of various sizes fighting fiercely with our friendly ships near the asteroid belt. .

Once it is discovered that there is a flaw in the headquarters here, there will be a steady stream of support.

No, soon, the chief mate who stayed on board the Blizzard sent a report, saying that it was confirmed that five predator warships had returned - these enemy ships were all small and medium-sized warships, and they did not dare to risk it directly. The Buran's artillery fire rushed into the port, but it hovered in space on the other side of the fortress, releasing more than a thousand reinforcements by airborne.

"After all, we only have a few hundred people. If we are surrounded, we will be in trouble. So..."

Soback felt that his side had done its best when the battle had reached this point. While the Buran is still intact, it can actually be transferred. As long as some bombs are planted in key locations of the fortress before leaving, it will be considered a great achievement.

However, Yu Lian smiled and said: "Brother Soback, this is not a siege, but a central fire!"

Sobek suddenly shuddered. He knew that the other party was probably trying to comfort him, but he really felt malicious.

"Don't worry, even if I say this, I won't die from the enemy's civil engineering work in a street fight in the space city, right?"

Soback suddenly felt even more uneasy. But no matter what, since more than 400 elite marines and five psykers have gathered at the scene, they can hold on for a long time even if they face dozens of times the enemy siege.

Moreover, the actual battle situation did not require everyone to persist for too long. After another hour, what arrived at the fortress was not the large reinforcements of the Marauders, but the armored aircraft carrier Wind King led by Nelhana Mehra.

At this time, it was already 2:47 in the morning on August 18th.

Judging from the appearance, the Wind King aircraft carrier should still have suffered some injuries, but this did not affect its maneuverability and combat effectiveness. When it was still tens of thousands of kilometers away from the fortress, it released the last squadron of Purple Lightning Dragon fighters. come out. These multi-purpose fighters, capable of all-purpose combat and air-to-air bombing, soon resembled a pack of hunting wolves, completely tearing apart the five predator carriers surrounding the fortress.

Immediately afterwards, the aircraft carrier's body swaggered into the airport with a step that disowned its relatives. When a whole regiment of mobile warriors, whose bodies were filled with the smell of blood, swaggering in with weapons on their backs, everything happened naturally.

At 3:12 in the morning, Miss Nelhana Mehra met with Yu Lian and others in the fortress command room. This petite but heroic female knight knocked on the thick breastplate with her iron fist and said loudly: " Your Excellency, you have led us to victory.”

"Victory belongs to the great coalition." Yu Lian looked at the knight lady whose armor and face were covered with blood and smoke, and returned the gift seriously: "Besides, without you, you would have attracted the attention of most of the enemy forces in the asteroid belt. I don't care about the strength of the enemy. Brigadier General Sobek will have a hard time successfully attacking the enemy's headquarters. However, you not only lured away the enemy who far exceeded your own strength, but also killed most of them. There should be an 'Iron Wall Mela' 's title."

Yu Lian was really not talking politely. He already knew Miss Nelhana's record just now. On the one hand, he had to perform the duties of the fleet commander after the Barbarossa and the Buran lost contact. On the other hand, he had to lead an aircraft carrier through various shuttles in the asteroid belt, using violent angle collisions and jumping gang battles. After destroying an enemy ship as quickly as possible, he left immediately. She did not try to seize the ship. Instead, after defeating the enemy ship's defenders, she immediately installed bombs at key locations and then evacuated. She never gave the predators a chance to attack her, so she used the leapfrog tactic effect in the universe.

Of course, from the beginning to the end, her command scope was only a limited-scale pilot fleet. Most of the time, she even just led a group of muscle brothers to kill people, but she did not show her talent as a "mobile defense master".

But judging from the results, she did have the effect of covering up Soback's successful sneak attack.

Moreover, as a target, the Wind King under her personal command knocked out two predator motherships of the same size and two small and medium-sized fire-breathing ships, which was completely equivalent to defeating the enemy's main force with a partial division.

"After losing contact, I can only guess what you are thinking based on my feelings. I'm glad that I persisted." Miss Nelhana said to Sobek again: "I'm also glad that I didn't guess wrong about you. Plan.”

Soback only felt that he was very tired, so he followed the usual routine and showed a serious smile.

At 3:43 in the morning, another Phoenix-class aircraft carrier "King Airei" belonging to the Outpost Fleet, and three Aegis-class cruisers responsible for escort also arrived at this frontline fortress. Their losses were much greater. All the ships suffered considerable damage, and one of the Holy Shields was sunk. But even so, they succeeded in sinking two fire-breathing ships of the Predators and severely damaging a mothership. The results were quite fruitful.

By this time, the remaining Predator fleets probably finally realized that the empire had actually successfully stretched their forces, and regrouped in the relatively spacious airspace outside the asteroid belt. However, they did not concentrate their forces and rush over to try to seize their headquarters in one fell swoop. Instead, they turned around and headed towards the unexplored deep space direction of the coalition forces, and soon they jumped and disappeared.

Their judgment is very wise. Because just in the other direction of the asteroid belt, the Barbarossa fired thousands of guns and finally succeeded in sinking the Predator Dreadnought of the same tonnage as itself. The red, most powerful dreadnought in history, like a lion that had killed its rival, stepped sideways to get out of the way of the still-exploding enemy shipwrecks, and came menacingly toward the direction of the battle in the asteroid belt.

At the entrance of the DL36 galaxy, there are still more light points flickering.

The main force of the combined fleets of the Empire and the Community finally arrived. They should have noticed that the abnormal collapsing gravity well has been replaced by a normal stable gravity well, and the main force of the fleet can finally be deployed in the shortest possible time.

However, King Suliuka and Brigadier General Eleanor Bonaparte should have never expected that the leading fleet, which was originally used to explore paths and destroy occult traps, would defeat the enemy defenders here.

During this period, Yu Lian and his friends finally successfully took over the fortress using their own control system, and by the way, they also obtained all information about the enemy forces in this system.

In the asteroid belt, in addition to this fortress that serves as a headquarters, the Predators also have three slightly smaller space stations, all of which are of course equipped with military depots and airports. In addition, there are twelve sets of central mechanisms for automatic turrets and two gravitational wave transit beacons.

"It's really surprising. Counting the time, it has only been more than half a year since the Predators arrived in this star field. How could they have completed so much construction?" Nelhana was quite surprised by these fully functional facilities. She felt that even the experienced and well-equipped Imperial Engineers with unlimited manpower could only achieve this level of efficiency.

But don't forget that the military facilities over at Devil's Throat Fortress are even bigger than here.

"This is not surprising. Although those drones with triangular heads have excellent maneuvering and cruising capabilities, their attack methods are very simple. They are not military at first glance. They should be civilian equipment left by the Enlightened Ones, such as mining machines. of."

After thinking about what Yu Lian said, the friends felt that this was indeed the truth.

"I can see that the current Great Khan is a pragmatic and capable leader. It is normal for him to develop behind the curtain left by the Enlightened One. Since she can send a considerable number of homeless people to the front line, she can even counterattack us. Colonial star, it should be explained that she should have more similar civilian facilities in her hands."

It shouldn't be a military facility, otherwise she would definitely use it for combat without hesitation. However, if in addition to mining drones, we also get repair drones, construction drones, process drones, etc., it would be quite reasonable to have such a construction efficiency.

The friends present were all smart people, and they quickly figured this out, and all of them suddenly felt frightened. If the Great Khan really dug up so many usable ancient civilian equipment, he might inherit the largest Enlightenment legacy in history. Farming efficiency will definitely exceed everyone’s common sense imagination. Maybe in one or two hundred years, it will really grow into a political entity that threatens human hegemony.

Isn't this the reappearance of the Eero Empire from thousands of years ago?

No, maybe it’s even scarier than the Ero Empire of the all-people army (meow) and the righteous madman (woo).

Fortunately, none of this can happen again.

As for the defenders stationed here, there is one dreadnought flamethrower, six battlecruiser-class large flamethrowers and motherships, and the remaining 48 small and medium-sized ships. If various stormtroopers are included, the total strength reaches 240,000. Of course, most of these ships are thin-skinned and bulky with low defense and high speed. As you can guess, this DL36 galaxy is not the main defensive pass for the Predators, but an outpost used to harass the coalition's logistics line.

Responsible for directing all this is a troll general named Kanaiba. Yu Lian was not very familiar with this name, but Nelhana said dumbly, "Ah", and then told Yu Lian that this was a predator warlord with a rather vicious reputation. He didn't have many manpower, but his technical ability was very outstanding. He even robbed the alliance's Poseidon ship. Although he didn't succeed in robbing it, at least he escaped unscathed.

Well, to put it bluntly, he is a top-notch pirate, and he is indeed suitable for commanding the plundering work at the rear.

In fact, the predators' previous harassment tactics were actually quite successful. At least in the previous month, the supplies successfully sent from the rear to the Devil's Throat front line had dropped by more than 40% compared to the entire June. If this tactic can be successfully implemented for another two or three months, and the coalition forces finally lose hope of making progress in the Devil's Roar, then this troll general named Canaiba will be the leader of the "Patriotic War" for the predators. "The first achievement.

But this can't happen anymore. This troll general, who had a high reputation in the pirate world, did not even die in the hands of the famous knight, but was torn to pieces by the stormtroopers on the Blizzard. It wasn't until later when the body was retrieved that I discovered that a big fish had been killed in a daze.

Regardless, the Predators' impregnable defense was finally torn apart. Now, the defenders concentrated at the Devil's Throat should soon face an embarrassing dilemma. As for how to take advantage of this, it depends on the arrangements of King Suliuka on the Dawn Angel over there. Her Angel of Dawn is already the main fleet, and like a policeman who always arrives last, it is heading in this direction in a mighty manner.

"Speaking of which, I always feel like I've forgotten something." Yu Lian patted the scene and said suddenly.

"What could that be?" Feifei asked curiously.

Yu Lian thought seriously for a moment, then shook his head: "Well, it doesn't matter. Since I couldn't remember it for three seconds, it shouldn't be too important."

At this moment, more than two thousand light years away from the DL36 galaxy, in a small planet that is even more inconspicuous than yellow sand in the entire universe, Claire Belmont stood up and jumped from the sea of ​​sand. He got up, touched himself with lingering fear, and found that he was not missing any arms or legs.

However, his eyes immediately showed confusion.

"I'm there, what am I doing? What's important is, who am I? Oh, is there anyone here to save me?"
