Him and their stars.

Chapter 1068 Forward and Backward

After a long winter of settlement and deployment, the mighty fleet of the Empire and the Community on the front line finally pushed the last remnants of the Marauder fleet into the corner of the Dawn Galaxy.

Don't feel that everyone is moving too slowly.Don't forget, the Marauders also have a nickname of "cosmic nomads".Workships and lifeships are their flocks, and warships are grass and wood rangers on horseback.In fact, when the two passes of this star field were completely broken through, many smarter looters and warlords had already driven all the supplies and slaves they could bring onto the ship, and it took only a few days before they broke away again. month planet.

It was hard to survive the great expedition spanning 200 million light years, it was hard to find a home that could be reclaimed, and it was hard to prepare to multiply and live a peaceful life, but fate is cruel after all.Some people couldn't accept all this, and didn't want to continue wandering, so they gritted their teeth and stayed, but they had already been turned into dust under the bursts of artillery fire.

Some people started wandering again, just like what they have been doing in the galaxy for thousands of years.

It is nothing more than living in no fixed place, it is nothing more than hide-and-seek, it is nothing more than guerrilla warfare.In the past thousand years, didn't the empire and the alliance try to send a large army into the center of the galaxy to wipe them out completely, didn't they all fail to do their best?
This is like the era of cold weapons, the farming dynasty in its heyday, and the war waged against the nomadic peoples in the grasslands of northern Saibei. It is rare that it is never a positive tactical issue, but a question of how to find the enemy's vital strength.

Therefore, throughout the winter of 832, the soldiers of the coalition army from the Milky Way suddenly had a sense of dreaming back to the era of cold weapons and playing hide-and-seek with nomadic enemies on the prairie.

This was perhaps the last measure the marauders could take.See if you can rely on hide-and-seek and guerrilla attacks to force the opponent's supplies to collapse, so maybe you can still win a chance.

But in the final analysis, this is just a dying struggle after all.

You must know that this is not a vast galactic center, but a star field with two channels to enter and exit. No matter how fertile it is, its area is at most equivalent to a star area of ​​an empire or alliance.What these nomads own is not a "grassland", but a canyon blocked by mountains. No matter how good they are at playing hide and seek, there is very limited space for them to move around.

More importantly, when the two entrances and exits of this star field have been completely blocked by the expeditionary army, they have no chance to escape.

Now, after a winter of planning and settlement, the war has finally reached the final stage of encirclement and suppression.

On January 833, 1 in the common calendar, the imperial army led by King Brunhilt of Suluka took the lead in launching a full-scale attack on the trapped marauder fleet.

Of course, they were not the first to attack.Before them, the No.13 Fleet, which successfully completed the search mission in front of the enemy, had already exchanged fire with the enemy.

This batch of small fleets, all composed of high-speed warships, fought and left, and never let the enemy take advantage. It was not until the main fleet of the empire's "friendly forces" arrived that they leisurely withdrew from the battlefield.

After retreating to a safe distance, Brigadier General Eleanor Bonaparte on the flagship Aurora began to report to his command: "We found the main force of the predators in the DL144 galaxy. They should want to send Our patrol fleet was annihilated to strengthen its morale, so the enemy's flagship, the Ancestral Ark, will be dispatched in person."

Of course, it's more likely because there are really not a few battleships left for the Marauders to fight, and of course the main flagship can only be boarded by itself.Eleanor naturally felt a sense of accomplishment when she thought of the predator fleet that marched through the Gate of Glory back then, and how desperate the trapped beast is now, but she still felt a little bit embarrassed for no reason.

She continued: "When passing through the asteroid belt of the DL142 galaxy, our two ships, Lexington and Saratoga, which were ambushing here in advance, released the White Ghost squad and launched a surprise attack on the enemy's flagship. Unfortunately, the proton torpedo only hit One shot failed to cause too much damage. At this time, the Empire's Dawn Angel also led a large fleet to the battlefield. Our troops are limited, so we can only temporarily retreat and evacuate from the front-line firefighting scene."

Behind the light curtain of the communication terminal was Admiral Connors, the commander-in-chief of the Community Expeditionary Force.

Now, the imperial fleet had been fighting with the last main force of the Marauders for half an hour, and they finally arrived at the battlefield.Although his reaction was a little slow, he still caught up after all, and his performance was pretty good.

"Well done, Commodore Bonaparte." Commander Connors showed a fatherly expectant smile: "Although we failed to cause major damage to the enemy ships. But the world will only remember that during this great expedition In the last battle of the world, it was the first shot fired by our earthlings."

Hope it's the last fight.Eleanor Bonaparte thought of Yu Lian's sneaky meetings with Yang Xiyi before leaving, and always felt that there was some conspiracy in it.

Seeing the silence of the young female general opposite, Commander Connerys felt a little unhappiness in his heart, but he continued to maintain an impeccable fatherly and gentle smile: "During this time, your fleet has been conducting enemy raids. Search and mobile strike missions are the most stressful and dangerous. Now it's finally done, thanks for your hard work, Brigadier General. Let's take the soldiers back to the voyage for a while to rest."

In fact, the current commander of the No.13 fleet is still Rear Admiral Mark Love, and the flagship should also be the Saratoga. However, the fleet has fought various guerrillas and counter-guerrillas against the predators in the Dawn Star Field all winter. It was always Eleanor who called the shots, and Mr. Ma played the mascot role perfectly.Up to now, no matter whether it is to the superior or to the subordinates, everyone is too lazy to continue acting.

There is one thing to say, the order issued by Admiral Connerys is of course suspected of stealing credit, but Eleanor herself doesn't mind much.Anyway, during this period of time, she and the Thirteenth Fleet have already made enough military achievements, and everyone has indeed reached their limits in terms of mental, physical, and ship status.

She herself has no interest in this kind of annihilation battle that concentrates more than five times the enemy's strength.After all, this kind of battle has no technical content.

In this situation, even if Commander Connerys and Chief of Staff Tivington personally command, they can't overturn the car, right?
Even if they are unreliable, hasn't the gorgeous Titan ship over there that looks like the Queen of the Void already arrived on the battlefield?Putting personal feelings aside, Eleanor had to admit that the elected emperor sitting on the Dawn Angel was indeed a true war genius.

In this way, after the Aurora and its fleet reunited, they headed straight to the rear, getting farther and farther away from the battlefield.And during this period, the coalition fleets from all surrounding galaxies also swarmed in, like a pack of wolves hunting.

While waiting for the transition to leave the galaxy, the Aurora even passed by a "sister ship" of its own level.The Imperial warship on the opposite side even sent a friendly light signal.

"Is that the Blizzard?" Eleanor pondered.

"Yes. The Storm Fleet, which uses it as its flagship, has also made many achievements in the search for the enemy in the past few months. Their commander, Baron Yeager Soback, is said to be promoted soon. "The adjutant replied quickly.

"I know, Yuli's old enemy on the side of the empire. Huh? He has become the admiral of the squadron? He has been promoted fast enough."

The adjutant stopped talking, thinking that you have become the true admiral of the No.13 fleet two years earlier, are you still qualified to talk about others here?Of course, as a tool man who doesn't even need to show his name, he knows what to answer and what to shut up.

"Yina, tell me, if we take a cold shot at the opponent at this time, does it mean that we have eliminated Yuli's old enemy?"

Lieutenant Colonel Ina Shilica, who was sitting on the main gunner's position on the bridge, was slightly taken aback, and put down the fantasy box game console in her hand. Looking back, her big rose red eyes were suddenly filled with enthusiasm.

"I'm just joking. What's the matter with your regretful expression? After all, you have fought side by side with that baron, right?"

"No, the officer just had a sudden urge to see if he could be hit by firing at this distance." Yi Na replied solemnly, and then picked up her beloved latest fantasy box.

Is this the intuition of a psyker?Remember this girl's star ring, is "hunting star", right?Didn't it mean that the main direction of strengthening is perception, agility and dynamic vision?I haven't heard of any side effects of emotional instability!
Eleanor looked suspiciously at her gunnery commander, and felt that she was still not used to the psychic chattering, and thought about what she could handle.

She decided to take the fleet directly and return to Devil's Throat Fortress for maintenance - of course she knew that the place had been renamed "Fort Unity", but this new name really made her body tremble - no way, At present, the entire star field is the only place where heavy cruisers can be thoroughly maintained and maintained.

Of course, on the way back, when passing through the Yaochi galaxy, you can also buy some supplies by the way. I heard that the development there is very good now.

Of course Eleanor didn't know that although Blizzard who passed by her was very friendly, the atmosphere on the bridge was different.

"The Aurora? This is a disgrace to the empire. I wanted to say it before, but thanks to her daring to continue wandering on the front line, isn't she afraid of being blacked out?" Viscount Serlu looked at Seeing the ship of the same type outside the porthole disappear into the passage of the gravity well, he sighed somewhat regretfully.

"You also know that this is a black gun! If I hadn't died yet, would you have prepared to do it just now?" Brigadier General Yeager Soback said helplessly.

"After all, as long as this ship is still alive, it will be the scar of the Imperial Navy. It's so strange, besides us, is there no loyal minister and good general who is willing to share the worries of the Empire?"

You, the daughter of the marquis family, don't want to share the worries of the empire, can you still count on others?
Sobaek rolled his eyes, but said: "There are still too few people who know about this."

The matter of the Far Shore Nebula has become a dark history that the empire is absolutely unwilling to mention, and it is ready to let it be drowned in the long river of time.Now, even most senior military officers don't know anything about this matter.For example, Sobaek, the brigadier general of the empire, would have been one of the concealed ignorant people if he hadn't become the closed son of the Duke of Sadulan.

"Listen, Yeager, long before the God of War Festival, he has left us with such terrible pain. In time, he should grow into a more terrifying opponent than Victoria Lee! You and Shameen must Get ready! All juniors of the Star Knights must get ready!"

Just thinking of Teacher Cheap's expectations for him, Sobaek couldn't help but want to tremble.

Of course, the "old enemy" who made his body tremble uncontrollably is no longer in the New World after all, so he quickly adjusted his mood and said to Cellu: "After this battle, I want to Application to be transferred back to China."

Cellu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Is it the Grand Marshal's Mansion or the Imperial Guard Fleet? Or, do you work in the Knights of the Star Realm for a few years? I think...the latter is the best. You are in the Knights of the Knights A little lack of foundation, although everyone respects you, but after all, we have never been classmates in the Knight Academy together."

The Viscountess immediately realized that her words had gone a little too far, and she blushed immediately.

Unfortunately, Sobaek did not see this scene.

Of course, it is to go to the star area of ​​the central mainland to do logistics or armament work.If it doesn't work, let me be a blue star to manage the training ground at sea!Anyway, don't be on the front line, and don't be in the front-line combat troops!
Having said that, but after all, he has already gotten into this field, and he doesn't think that he can get what he wants.Therefore, his application to the above is that he hopes to go to the star area where the rebellion occurred after the battle to serve as the military and political chief of a military-administered area.

In any case, he was quite good at suppressing the natives, and it should be safer, at least it should be safer than facing predators, snakes, and that evil star.

So he also wrote an application report full of emotion.Sobaek personally feels very good, this should be the most insightful article he has ever created in his life.If you are still in college, you can come back with a Ph.D. in sociology.

Well, there should be an answer above.Sobaek now has to consider this issue.

As for the battle situation, isn't this already understood?Even if the predators on the opposite side have a vase that can release the fleet, they have no chance to fight back now.

At this time, Captain Hongshan's voice sounded: "Your Excellency, the Dawn Angel has called, requesting that our fleet enter the X172, F488, and G287 space points, and be assigned to Admiral Farrell's direct command!"

"This space point... Wait, isn't this space point on the front? Our Storm Fleet is all fast battleships!" Sobaek glanced at the star map by the way, and almost jumped up.

Inexplicably, he felt as if he was being targeted again.

"Probably hope that we can stand at the forefront of victory." The old captain of the Kiyeyang shrugged: "Hey, cheer up! I am a veteran who is seriously injured and dying, in order to participate in my final battle. In the first battle, they all rolled over from their own hospital beds with high morale. How can you, a young man with a bright future, be so hopeless?"

"What the hell are you seriously injured? It's just a knock on the head, a slight concussion, and you've just been lying in the ward for two months."

"Don't worry. Your Excellency, no matter what the battle situation is, everyone will follow you. And I believe that you will definitely bring victory!" Miss Seilu said firmly.

In this way, the Storm Fleet commanded by Brigadier General Yeager Soback, a patrol squadron composed of four cruisers and five destroyers with the Blizzard as its flagship, entered the final battlefield and became the An ordinary line-filling squadron.
