Him and their stars.

Chapter 1691 Why is it always you?

The atmosphere on the scene certainly became more solemn and tense. All the officers and soldiers of the fortresses and bases in the entire galaxy entered their combat positions within the next five minutes. As for the fleet members, they all took their positions within fifteen minutes.

During this process, Yu Lian and Sylvester hardly issued any orders. However, the officers and soldiers did not wait for instructions like elementary school students, but directly entered the standard interception combat process.

Yu Lian watched as the automatic sentry guns at the front began to show their power. The 1 automatic turrets in the A-1200 array fired beams of light far denser than a rainstorm at the missiles that entered their firing range. The high-temperature, high-energy projectiles detonated the warheads, instantly igniting a gorgeous and dazzling white light in the air.

This should only mean that everyone's war preparations are very well done, at least 90 points. In short, it's still the same sentence, Admiral Sylvester, you have to be good or bad...

"I know you're looking at me with gratitude again, but that's enough." The senior said helplessly, "Brother, this overwhelming display looks like a suppression attack before the general attack!"

This is the textbook-like judgment. This is the advantage and disadvantage of academic generals.

"We must look at the battlefield from a higher dimension, sir. I have always held on to this judgment. If the enemy wants to launch a general attack, all the main forces will definitely move together. Since only one Titan was deployed, whether it is fire suppression, charging, or dividing the troops to encircle the enemy, it is all a tentative attack."

And I have said it before, even all the imperial fleets along our way might be feint attacks, but you didn't believe it.

Just as Yu Lian was about to explain further, he received news that the enemy fleet had actually begun to split its forces.

The Xiaolong led a large number of escort fleets to continue advancing towards the No. 1 main fortress, but the speed was maintained at a leisurely rhythm, just like the beast king with a group of minions walking and sneaking in the wilderness. But at the same time, some imperial warships began to accelerate, protruding from the left wing of the imperial fleet to become a bulge, and then left the fleet headquarters, along the orbit of the seventh planet, and began to maneuver at a constant speed in the counterclockwise direction.

"Hmm, what a familiar rhythm." Yu Lian frowned.

"This is how the Imperial Fleet maneuvered during the last battle." Feifei immediately opened the terminal and it took only two seconds to call up the battle situation map of both sides.

Yu Lian nodded slightly: "Indeed. However, during the last battle, we only had three airport platforms and two unmanned artillery terminals in this direction. And now, we have built Fortress No. 8 there."

No. 8 was only a medium-sized sub-fortress, but it was also equipped with high-powered fortress guns. If the main force of the Imperial Fleet attacked the main fortress No. 1, it could also provide artillery cover for the enemy's flanks.

In fact, all the sub-fortresses that the senior students built in Sai De can play this role. They can also form staggered fire cover between each other.

However, at this time, the revolution of the giant planet in the planetary orbit did have a certain impact on the artillery firing range of other fortresses, and perhaps the Empire found a loophole that could be exploited.

"Perhaps the enemy is testing the waters on the one hand, and on the other hand wants to see if there is any possibility of capturing the sub-fortress? Perhaps they want to try to knock down our sub-cities one by one before launching the general attack?" said Chief of Staff Mkawa.

"That makes sense." Yu Lian nodded and thought: "However, I still remember that the person in charge of this maneuver last time was..."

As soon as he made this judgment, he received an instant analysis and report from the investigators.

"The enemy squadron is still accelerating. The marching track can be confirmed, and it coincides with Fortress No. 8!"

"The enemy squadron's ship types have been confirmed: 3 battlecruisers, 3 aircraft carriers, 12 heavy cruisers, and 30 light cruisers. The flagship has been confirmed, and it is... the Usagi!"

  “……”Why is it always you?

"Your old rival." Feifei said with a smile, "As expected, you have admitted that he is your old enemy!"

"Okay, he is indeed my nemesis. But, is he really so fierce? As expected, a person's destiny is really closely related to the changes in history!" Yu Lian was filled with mixed feelings.

Of course, since it was so fierce, it was far from the end. Soon, the forward outpost received the latest information. The three aircraft carriers were all shield and armor reinforced. To put it bluntly, they were specially prepared for fortress assaults and fleet boarding. The Lexington, which Yu Lian first served in the Battle of West End, was like this, but after being modified and the hangar was expanded, it became a standard aircraft carrier.

"So, the Empire is preparing to land? So, they're going straight to the main point right away?" Admiral Sylvester said in surprise. "Yes, they're going straight to the point without even any foreplay. That's a bit unromantic." Yu Lian calculated, "The Imperial nobles I know are all so sanctimonious and nervous. They shouldn't be so rude."

"I mean, can't this be considered a general offensive?" Admiral Sylvester glanced at the other party and found that he was no longer so anxious. He just felt that if the other party was so calm, wouldn't it be stupid for him to be so nervous and anxious like an ant on a hot pot?

"Of course it's still a test. Warships still cost money, but marines are not needed. No one knows the Empire's maneuvers in this regard better than me." Yu Lian described the extremely cruel content in a light tone, but then said: "But everything is expected."

"It's all within expectations... Well, you should know what's going on." Admiral Sylvester repeated Yu Lian's words, and then smiled knowingly. He probably thought that since Yu Lian smiled so calmly, he would definitely lose if he didn't smile.

In fact, all of this was indeed within the expectations of Yu Lian... Well, actually, the staff led by Chief of Staff Mkawa and Mr. Rosses.

When formulating the military deployment plan, Rozes pointed out that Fortresses 6 to 8 formed a triangular layout, which just formed a pincer attack with the main fortress. However, they would indeed be affected by the revolution of the giant planet and would lack the protection of other friendly cities for a short period of time.

During this process, the Empire's assault carriers can burn their engines to the extreme, breaking through the gravity of the giant planet, and even use gravity to start a charge and complete the boarding of the fortress.

It is never a smart move to use naval guns and fortress guns to bombard each other, but as long as the stormtroopers board the space city and turn the space battle into a land battle, everything will be incorporated into the Empire's combat rhythm.

Facts have also proved that the empire's attack this time was indeed very effective.

At 4:1 pm on April 11, the fleet led by Xiaolong was still marching slowly outside the main gun of Fortress No. 27, while the fleet led by Yutu had already seized the gap in the revolution and successfully reached the effective landing distance. The fleet's hundreds of main guns pierced the outer wall of the cylindrical space building, and dazzling flames flickered on the solid fluid metal curtain wall.

"Perfect fleet maneuver." Major General Jaeger Sobek on the Rabbit heard his temporary partner of the same rank praising him across the screen.

"This... is all luck." Sobaek said modestly.

In fact, he was very satisfied with the command of the fleet movement this time, and wanted to be proud of it. However, the one who praised him was, after all, Viscount Shameen, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Star Knights (Youth Division) - although no one mentioned this statement now, he was a genius who made him foresighted, and Viscount Sobek was a little flattered for a while.

Of course, his happiness was limited. As a safety-first energy conservationist, all offensive tasks would put him in a low-pressure state, and his expression was naturally listless.

...However, we should also know that whether we are listless or calm does not depend on the objective materialism of our own vision, but on the subjective idealism of others' observation.

Viscount Shameen looked at his colleague's expression and agreed, "Seeing you now, I know that your achievements and reputation today are by no means accidental. I may have some experience in brute force, but when it comes to cultivating my character, I am far inferior to you."

I always feel that this guy seems to have misunderstood something...but now Sobaek is too lazy to explain.

At this time, the fierce firepower of the Sobek fleet had already suppressed a fan of Fortress No. 8. In just ten minutes of bombardment, at least hundreds of floating turrets were destroyed and a hole was torn in the fluid armor.

The three armored assault carriers also began to move forward, and the coordination between the ships was perfect. Of course, this was actually the credit of the captains, and mainly due to the intensive training before the battle began.

"Then, I will enter the battlefield first. I hope to win the first battle!" Viscount Shameen on the aircraft carrier raised his fist to Sobek across the screen and knocked on his chest armor. The development of the slightly low-key black emblem aircraft glowed bloody red.

The so-called "first battle" should refer to the first cooperation after the War God Festival and the predator alert sweep operation in the Polar Star Region.

It can be seen that Viscount Shameen, one of the four kings of the Knights Templar (Youth Group), now regards Sobaek as a comrade-in-arms of the same level or even slightly higher status, and is quite looking forward to this battle. However, the latter feels that the other party is expecting too much.

In this case, if the strategy fails, it should still be a big blow to one's mood, right? Although Sobek personally thinks that as long as there is no mood, there is nothing in the world that can blow one's mood. However, after all, one cannot always demand others by one's own standards.

"Well, let's just let things take their own course. Viscount, after all, we are only conducting a tentative attack, and the Marshal has not said that we must capture this fortress."
