Him and their stars.

Chapter 1692: Earthlings never disappoint us in terms of not being morally upright

So, safety comes first after all! There is no need to elaborate on this. Jaeger Sobek felt that his condition was still relatively relaxed.

After all, they were colleagues, he was someone he once admired and envied, and he was very friendly and even a little respectful to him. Sobaek felt that Viscount Shamen was a respectable person he could get along with, so he still needed to offer some immature suggestions.

"In fact, we are not mentally prepared to capture the fortress. If we force it, it might backfire," Sobaek added.

"But we are already prepared for war. Moreover, His Royal Highness King Sorain also hopes that we can succeed in one fell swoop." Viscount Shameen said.

Since it was the will of the emperor elect, Sobaek had nothing to say and could only give an awkward but polite smile.

The Astral Knight laughed heartily: "Hahaha, of course, this is just King Solayen's expectation, and it can't even be considered an order. When it comes to large-scale military operations, of course the instructions of Marshal Ikenroga are the top priority."

In fact, in the army on the front line of Said, the new emperor-elect's command sequence is even below the two generals Rosaneo and Misaro. If the empire sends more troops later, and if any veteran generals take office, he may have to move down the order.

After all, the new Soren King, Youent IV, was a young man who had just turned twenty and lacked actual combat experience. If he could be superior to all the battle-hardened generals just because of his bloodline and status when he commanded a fleet for the first time, the Galactic Empire would have perished three thousand years ago.

"Don't worry, Jaeger. Perhaps His Highness Youent will be eager for military merit, but I no longer have such worldly needs."

  How come a man in his twenties speaks like an old man who is about to retire! Also, why does this tone sound so familiar?

"I have suffered too many failures. Now, in the entire Star Knights, no one knows how to escape better than me. How can I force victory? What qualifications do I have to force it?"

Therefore, Viscount Shameen, who was once regarded by most people as the rising star of the Knights Templar and who might become the Grand Master of the Knights Templar sooner or later, now showed an optimistic and relieved smile.

  Jaeger Sobek always felt that this smile was more like déjà vu, which made him very concerned. He pondered for more than three minutes, until the other party had turned off the screen and led the team to set off, then he realized belatedly that this was not talking about him.

This, could it be that I was the one who influenced him? Sobek suddenly felt very guilty. He knew that he was essentially a lazy person, but he didn't think that this was necessarily right.

In fact, I still have great respect for those colleagues who are diligent, hardworking, brave and fearless.

"Viscount Shameen is indeed a good man! I just hope that the spirit of the universe can bless him to win the first battle." Viscount Serlu said. Her thoughts were actually quite simple. Since Viscount Shameen showed such respect to his superior, he must be a good man.

In comparison, Captain Pagel's thoughts seemed much more complicated.

"...Your Excellency, are you going to join the new King Soleon?" he said.

You, don't you have any respect for the great Elector and the high-ranking knight of the Knights? Miss Serlu's eyes suddenly became dangerous.

"You are no longer shooting without a purpose, but are clearly speaking from your own conscience." Sobek also accused: "Colonel, Captain, I know you are a smart man who has read too many banned books, but if you keep speaking without restraint, you will only be a smart man."

"Commander, I am certainly only a little clever, but I speak without restraint because I know you are a kind person." Captain Pagel flattered naturally, but still insisted on his own opinion.

"I do feel that way. The Viscount suddenly mentioned King Solayen just now, which seemed a bit deliberate. However, this is easy to understand. Not to mention the Star Knights, even the frontline generals always have to look for a three-headed... Uh, before the war, I was too nervous. Sorry, sir. I didn't allude to anyone, really."

Sobek decided not to argue with him. Anyway, the captain would only talk nonsense in front of him, and he was usually very reliable. On the other hand, the assault on Community Fortress No. 8 also began.

Compared to the gravity of a planet, the gravity of this artificial star is not very impressive, but it does exist. In addition to the first layer of armored outer wall of Fortress No. 8, there is another layer of fluid metal, which forms a metal layer like the surface of the sea through the fortress's own gravity.

However, between the fluid shield and the armored outer wall, there is a vacuum world with a vertical height of no more than 200 meters. In all the fortress siege battles, this is often the most intense battlefield. This is also the case now.

The Imperial Fleet's bombardment destroyed the surrounding floating artillery, and the assault landing craft smashed down with their own disintegration rams. Their rams were like drills digging into the mud, stirring up a whirlpool.

The ramming horn sank deeply into the bottom of the metal layer along with the vortex, and then bloomed like a flower bud, revealing the landing passage.

The first to land on the battlefield were a well-equipped engineering regiment and three five-group grenadier companies that were working hard. The former were responsible for chiseling open the outer wall by various means, while the latter were responsible for providing cover.

In addition, Fort No. 8 is only a medium-sized fortress, but it has two high-powered fortress guns, various turrets, gun mounts and hatches for fighter planes, which are densely distributed on the outer wall of the fortress. There are naturally blind spots between them, and there must be passages that can be directly used.

In fact, just when the engineers had just set up the laser wall drills that looked like drilling platforms on the outer wall, the community soldiers arrived to meet them. A fighter hatch less than 500 meters away from them opened, and what came out was not a fighter, but community soldiers wearing mechas.

This was probably exactly what the Panzergrenadiers had planned. These elite imperial soldiers were very experienced in fortress assaults and were very skilled in the tactics of luring the enemy out of their holes.

The grenadiers, who had been prepared, immediately pressed forward, and the blaster machine guns in their hands began to roar first, quickly forcing the row of Community soldiers in front to stagger back.

The imperial soldiers rushed over, brandishing swords, spears, and halberds. In this vacuum battlefield, the power of energy weapons was maximized, but in contrast, almost all mechas on both sides were mirror-finished. In comparison, the electromagnetic rifle that fired steel nail bullets might be the best.

In other words, bullets are the most effective in any era.

However, the Imperial Marines, influenced by the traditional psychics and the culture of the Tirilo military nobles, have always adhered to the saying "bullets are cowards, axes are heroes".

The grenadiers shouted loudly that could only be heard on the communication channel, and rushed towards the disadvantaged Community soldiers. They were ready to seize the fighter plane entrance and exit as quickly as possible. So, at the same time, more than 2000 grenadiers and stormtroopers landed.

Of course, there was a group of five mechas whose aura overwhelmed the thousands of Imperial soldiers present - they were five heraldic machines, one black and four silver.

The black one was the most low-key, but everyone recognized that it had the most powerful aura. As for the other four silver ones, they were obviously a four-man combat unit. They took the lead and rushed directly to the open hatch. At this time, the counterattack of the Imperial Grenadiers actually pushed the Community defenders back. Of course, they could not stop, because the interior of the enemy's fortress was right in front of them.

A full half platoon of Imperial Grenadiers, in dense charge formation, poured in from the cabin entrance.

In their vision, the starry sky covered by the fluid metal sky was replaced by a narrow corridor. Then, they also saw a row of electromagnetic rifles that were jumping with deadly flames. The electromagnetic rifles opened fire, and more than ten imperial soldiers fell down. And more community mechas were also waiting at the other end of the corridor.

For the people on Earth, this may also be a trap.

The so-called "make the empty real and the real empty". And the so-called "turn the enemy's strategy against him" is just like this.

However, the war had developed to this point, and this matter was actually not that important. The imperial soldiers shouted and rushed towards the enemy, facing the bullets, like madmen who knew no pain or death.

They paid the price of more than ten people, but they were close to the opponent, and the weapons in their hands could already reach the opponent. At this moment, crystal axes, chain swords and impact hammers came and went at the entrance of the tunnel, devouring the blood and flesh behind the armor fragments.

Facts have proved that the judgment of the Imperial Marines commanders was correct. Compared with the Imperial Grenadiers and Stormtroopers, the hand-to-hand combat skills of the Community soldiers were obviously not as refined as before, and they were forced to fight and retreat.

However, they soon realized that as they continued to go deeper into the enemy fortress, the passage they were in gradually became wider. They also went from being attacked from one side to being attacked from three sides.

  Is this really a trap?

But what could this little trick change? The commanders of the Imperial Marines all felt that as long as they could land successfully and enter the fortress, they would have already won half the battle.

They held on there for several minutes until a gorgeous silver armor light flashed in front of everyone like a flowing spiritual light.

This four-member team of Star Knights came in such a mighty force!

He waved a five-meter-high spiral impact spear at the knight in the front, and waved his arm wrapped in the mecha, sending out thousands of cold rays.

Just one person, but he already exudes the aura of thousands of troops.

However, the thousands of cold rays from his impact spears did not shatter the community's formation. The Earth soldiers seemed to have been prepared and began to retreat when the Star Knights appeared. Then, a considerable number of automatic robots flashed out from the gaps in the retreating crowd.

Spider-sized robots, each carrying a bomb, each one lunged at the nearest enemy target like a facehugger, baring its teeth.

In an instant, the junction between the two armies, as well as the Star Knights, were completely covered by the dazzling light waves.

Fortunately, the explosion was not very powerful and caused limited damage to ordinary mechas, let alone the Emblem Machine.

Unfortunately, in addition to the mediocre shockwave, the explosion also produced strong light and electromagnetic interference. The vision of the imperial soldiers was deprived for a short time. Although the Astral Knights in the Emblem Machine could still identify the enemy's location by perception, their spiritual sense also told them that a stronger danger was approaching.

"This is a trap!" an Astral Knight from the group of four shouted in the channel.

We already knew this. The Marine officers thought so, but after all, it was the Knight's words, so they couldn't just complain in the channel.

In short, the knights and ordinary officers all chose to be conservative at this moment. They also stepped back a few steps, waiting for the arrival of the commander and their strongest men.

Soon, Viscount Shameen, dressed in black armor, appeared on the battlefield like a star in the eyes of everyone. He also saw the light of the Earthling's emblem machine.

"You are indeed no match for him. It is right to refuse," he said to his subordinates.

Although what the commander said was very likely true, the Astral Knights were still a little hurt. Although they were all "basic" psychics of the second and third rings, it was 4 to 1 after all, and they also had more advanced heraldry machines and four-element tactics.

Perhaps, we can help you hold the line and come to your aid at a critical moment. A knight who was not an old noble was about to make a similar suggestion without martial ethics, when he suddenly saw a flash of light in the opposite community army formation. It was clear that there was a psychic hiding behind the ordinary soldiers, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

  Damn it, what a bunch of unsportsmanlike people!

Viscount Shameen certainly didn't bother to care about his subordinates' mentality at the moment. He looked at the psychic mecha of the community opposite, as if he wanted to see the opponent's eyes through the completely closed helmet mask.

He pondered for a moment, his eyes sweeping over the two three-meter-long swords that the other party was holding.

And then, the same voice rang out in his earphones. It was a report from the Knights' Attendants who were still on the aircraft carrier. Of course, they were called Knights' Attendants, but they were actually an auxiliary team specially equipped by the Star Knights. They were responsible for preparation, maintenance, service, and intelligence support. They should be called a logistics team or something like that.

The reason why it is called "Knight Squire" is naturally because it sounds nice.

"I can't make out the emblem number, but it's red and black with a trident emblem... Your Excellency, this is Brigadier General Bai Ziqi! His ability should be at the peak of the fourth ring or between the fifth ring."

"…the third generation of the Spiritual Research Society."

"Yes, codename Taia! According to current intelligence, he is also the strongest among the third generation of the Spiritual Research Society."

"So, he is that person's descendant?"

The servants behind the headsets were silent for a while. They knew who their boss was talking about, but because they knew, they couldn't answer.

The man whose name cannot be mentioned is already a saint. He is the evil star who can still chat and laugh with the emperor, and the most dangerous enemy of the Galactic Empire in this century. His position and status are completely unequal to yours. He has even completely forgotten you. Even Yeager Sobek on the Royal Rabbit has a higher status in his mind. You are really not qualified to keep thinking about him now. Although the servants thought so, they certainly couldn't say it out loud.

At this time, Viscount Shamaien, who was full of the noble warrior model of Tirilo, had already nodded to the other party. He even opened the communication application directly, probably preparing to say a few words of martial virtue such as "Achieve glory with a bloody body" and "Imperial Knight, I ask for a perfect battle with you".

However, the community's psychic completely ignored his opponent's elegance and simply rushed forward with both swords crossed.
