Him and their stars.

Chapter 1783 The Third Seal

Yu Lian jumped off the dragon's back unscathed and walked out of the equally unscathed mecha. He turned around and patted the seriously injured beast behind him. The head, as big as a heavy tank, was standing nearby, ready to swallow Yu Lian at any time.

However, Yu Lian acted like a swaggering leader and gently tapped the dragon's nose: "Very good, little dragon, I have seen your sacrifice. This is more courageous than most of your kind."

The injured Star Dragon allowed Yu Lian to stroke his chin with sharp barbs. He snorted a trace of spiritual turbid air from an organ similar to his nasal cavity, then lay down directly on the soft grass on the ground and didn't want to move anymore, just like a cat with a hollow body.

Of course, this is actually a titanium dragon, and it is also the closest to the "dragon" in Yu Lian's cognition among the eight star dragon species, which makes Yu Lian feel very familiar. Considering that the race Fulus who has been released back to the Abyss Nebula is also a titanium dragon, this sense of familiarity is naturally doubled.

Compared to the faster, more ferocious Flame Winged Dragon, which particularly likes to breathe fire and smash asteroids with its head, the Titanium Dragon is indeed more Buddhist in character, and its aggressiveness seems to be slightly lacking, but its defense and recovery are excellent. By secular standards, it is almost "immortal".

Look, Yu Lian can see now that the wound on the side of the titanium dragon is now only a shallow dent. Even the scales with a metallic halo have grown out, but the texture seems to be a little lacking.

This is of course closely related to the "Touch of Life" that he had just slapped on the dragon's back, but it is also due to the healing ability of this magical space creature itself.

However, it should be noted that just during the battle, an ion beam whizzed out from the battlecruiser's side secondary gun, and it actually hit the dragon's body, and even almost dug out the flesh on its side.

Adult titanium dragons can indeed open their shields, and Yu Lian can also help the mounts grow stronger shields, but even so, they are still the guns of a battleship.

Even though the shield neutralized most of the energy of the ion beam, it still left a terrible wound on the titanium dragon's body. At that time, Yu Lian could even feel his despair, so he shot a touch of life on the spot and immediately retreated with the poor wounded dragon.

However, as soon as this phantom beast, which seemed to be left with only skin and blood, returned to the boat and returned to its comfortable and warm bed on the meadow, the painful emotions were swept away and it no longer felt the slightest bit of tension, as if as long as it returned to its comfort zone, it owned the entire universe.

Yu Lian felt that this kind of mount was quite suitable for his temperament. "Very good. Although I always feel that you are a little far from being comparable to Cypherus, you are so simple and strong that you are also a good first dragon. I will name you Shanzi."

The Titanium Dragon spread its entire body on the soft grass, and squinted at Yu Lian with its vertical pupils that looked like molten gold, still full of divine majesty and arrogance. However, this was only from the perspective of a mortal. In fact, Yu Lian could only see clear stupidity, and even a dull feeling of not worrying about anything.

"Yes, compared to your fellow tribesmen, you are indeed the most obedient child. From now on, I will call you Shanzi. This name is particularly suitable for you, who is simple and strong. You should also be the first among the four friends to have a name. Are you happy?"

The titanium dragon's vertical pupils, which were filled with divine light, still exuded a clear dullness, and its eyelids, which were as thick as armor, slowly closed.

He actually wanted to tell this terrible new master that although they were all called "Dragon", he and the other three were not from the same race, but this was actually not important anymore.

As an intelligent fantasy beast, he has foreseen that his life will be very difficult in the future, so of course he has to seize the time to put himself into a low-carbon and environmentally friendly state.

Then, the Titanium Dragon exhaled a heavy breath again, and fell into a sleeping state in half a second.

"Very good. When you can fight, you can advance without retreating. When you can sleep, this is indeed the best state." Yu Lian smiled.

The Sumi man in uniform standing not far away seemed to have a constipated expression. When he realized that Yu Lian's gaze had moved over, he quickly lowered his head in fear and trepidation.

He is the person in charge of this dragon's nest and the chief breeder of this titanium dragon. When Feifei successfully boarded the Pilgrimage, he was the type who knew the situation and had a strong sense of professionalism, so he finally saved his life. Now, under the supervision of the Community Marines, he is still doing the same job.

"Sergeant, isn't this frequency of attack too frequent?" Yu Lian asked the other party. Although this Letalin was a breeder, he was also a first-class technical sergeant of the Imperial Army. The Empire actually respected this kind of alien race with professional skills, at least they were not lacking in treatment and nominal status. Of course, this also shows that sometimes a person's status does not lie in the nature of the job, but in your position.

Even if you are doing a serving job, it depends on what you are serving.

The Raitalin considered his words. "Well... Your Excellency, in a dragon knight's battle, the dragon is only an auxiliary after all, and the knight is the core. Your will will be transformed into the power of the dragon, there is no doubt about that."

It was obvious that the breeder had received a very high level of court etiquette training, so he spoke in a high-sounding manner. However, after a brief hesitation, he added: "However, they are actually proud and intelligent creatures. The rider is not their master, but their partner."

Yu Lian asked with interest, "Then, won't Long have any stress reaction to the sudden change of his rider, no, to the fact that their partner has suddenly changed?"

"Dragons are actually in a special range between intelligent creatures and wild animals, General." The breeder nodded deeply and changed his words on the spot: "They are certainly proud and powerful species, but they also follow biological instincts. It is precisely because they are smart that they are smarter than those of us who claim to be intelligent creatures."

Yes, when their teeth are knocked out by a slap, they must be more loyal than cattle and horses, the Latalin people thought.

"Oh?" Yu Lian glanced at the other person with interest.

"Yes, sir, dragons are actually most willing to be dogs for real heroes. They don't want to be like stray dogs running around, not knowing who their masters are." The Latalin people bent their waists almost ninety degrees.

The average height of this race is actually over two meters, not counting the horns on their heads, but after bowing like this, they suddenly appear to be much shorter than Yu Lian.

"Then I'm relieved." Yu Lian smiled, and when he was about to leave, he added, "By the way, you and your men have died in the battle. This can be seen in the official battle report later."

The Letalin was slightly startled, then showed a look of gratitude.

Yu Lian, wearing a close-fitting anti-gravity suit, had just walked out of the Dragon's Nest gate when Feifei, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came to meet him.

"We have analyzed the tactics of the Imperial Army. They have decided to use the denial effect of high-powered naval guns. If not, you can at least get closer by another 10,000 kilometers, and the damage to the Golden Skull will be more effective."

"After all, they are the Imperial Army. We can't expect to always gain the upper hand with just one move." Yu Lian nodded and said, "As long as it can achieve the effect we want, it's enough."

"Of course it will work. Congratulations, after this operation, the Imperial Army will definitely dispatch at least three dreadnoughts to encircle and intercept our second-hand boat." Feifei took out the star map and placed colored icons representing the fleet on it: "This is the regular report just received on the Fuxi. The Tossen Fleet and the Karaman Fleet have already met up and left the corridor 12 hours ago. However, when the regular report was received, they were still stranded in the General Lu Galaxy." The monitoring personnel at the reconnaissance station in the General Lu Galaxy had naturally been taken away by the 3rd Patrol Fleet, but the deep space probe was still operating automatically, and was still sending messages to the headquarters at a frequency of once every four hours.

Of course, this could very well be the last report from these loyal machines.

After a brief thought, Yu Lian immediately understood the imperial army's current hesitation: it was simply that they had received information about the situation in Earl Star Gorge and were caught in a dilemma on the spot.

If they wanted to speed up the pursuit and intercept the main force of the remaining fleet, it would be in time to set off now, but it would inevitably lead to a fierce battle. Of course, if the two imperial fleets showed due decisiveness and bravery, they should be able to hold back the main force of the Earth fleet and hold out until the friendly forces from the other route of the Earl Star Gorge arrived to provide support.

If the Imperial Army were in normal condition, they should be able to achieve this.

But if he really did that, the Xunli and Yu Lian could retreat safely. From then on, the beautiful starry sky would be left to him to roam freely.

Again, if a dragon ship inlaid with the imperial emblem was really brought to Earth, it would be more shameful than losing a Titan.

When that time really comes, all the high-ranking imperial army officials on the side of Sayde, from the imperial marshal and the elect emperor to the ordinary squadron commanders and battleship captains, who were clearly the heroes who captured Sayde, will now become the shame of the empire.

But this shouldn't have been a problem.

After all, it was just one ship. Would it be impossible to defeat a single enemy ship if we had 20 or 30 high-speed warships in good condition, including two or three aircraft carriers and battlecruisers?

Back then, during the Galactic Age of Discovery, when the Empire was besieging the then greatest pirate in the universe, Luffy the Purple Beard Sparrow, and his Pearl Merry, it only mobilized such a small number of troops.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Yes. This shouldn't have been a problem. If there wasn't that "dragon who must not be named" on that ship.

Yu Lian didn't know yet that his nickname had been upgraded a lot in the Empire. However, he also knew that because of his existence, the importance of a ship was comparable to that of an entire fleet, which was the source of all the hesitation of the Empire.

"Chief of Staff Mkawa feels that the Imperial Army is indeed hesitant now. Of course, the possibility that they have set a trap cannot be ruled out," said Feifei.

"The Chief of Staff is a serious person. He could have completely ignored the latter sentence. He is so indecisive and it is not like the style of the Imperial Army. They claim to be the most powerful military group in the universe and the proudest conqueror? It's a bit unspirited." Yu Lian had a look of disgust on his face.

"Wolves may run rampant on the grassland, but once they grow large enough, they will have to retreat even if they encounter a lion. However, when a dragon flaps its wings and crosses the sky, they will be more frightened than mice. Okay, fish, now you can start to be proud." Feifei smiled.

Although he still said "My wife's beauty is my own", Yu Lian still decided to be proud for half a minute.

The reason why Chief of Staff Mkawa expressed some doubts in the report was also related to his strict and rigid personality. Of course, this did not prevent him from making the correct instructions immediately. The fleet immediately accelerated towards the D3 system of the Border Township, leaving the enemy behind by more than 20 hours.

Anyway, at this point, it didn't matter whether it was a trap or not. The strategic goal of the main force of the fleet arriving safely at Shanhaiguan was getting closer and closer.

"Then, we will follow the original plan and move in the direction of Xinshuntian with great fanfare. Make it seem like we are heading straight for Nantianmen."

Feifei nodded and then raised three fingers in a serious manner: "Also, here's the third one."

"So what exactly is it? Why can it be numbered?"

Feifei explained seriously, "Just when you were chopping the boat with your knife, the Fuxi sent another order from the National Defense Committee. The attitude and wording are even more resolute. Do you want to listen?"

"Earth still has no way to contact us directly?" Yu Lian let out a heavy breath. He now felt that the efficiency of the officials really refreshed his cognition.

"Perhaps it's because they know that their attitude is not very friendly, so they don't want to hear your rejection in person." Feifei spread her hands: "Also, the recent newspapers on Earth have already used the suffix 'Admiral' for you."

In other words, even if he really ignored the orders from Earth, he would still be a legitimate admiral of the community, right? Wasn't the rank of admiral the price that the nobles offered him to return to rescue?
Yu Lian suddenly realized that the masters on Earth were sometimes really pathetic.

“What’s the situation on the mainland?”

"Brin's fleet is approaching the New Baghdad system. At the latest in three days, it will encounter the main force of the local fleet."

Feifei always called "Bulin" at this time, which made Yu Lian feel annoyed, but Yu Lian said that he had to keep his emotions stable, and Bento didn't understand.

"Then the current strength of the Home Fleet... Hey, where is the main force of the Home Fleet now?" Yu Lian shook his head slightly. Now, the only thing that can stop Brunhilde is perhaps the physical distance.

It is conceivable how much suffering the Earth is going through right now. They must want to pin their hopes on their own strategic clusters that still have combat effectiveness.

Apart from the Yu fleet, there is probably only the outer ring fleet of Nantianmen.

Feifei reported: "In the direction of Nantianmen, we are still in a stalemate with Marshal Farrell's Imperial Fleet. The battle situation...is actually not as intense as it was in the first week."

"That's a bad battle. This is the most torturous state." Yu Lian said.

Feifei nodded with a heavy face.

In fact, when that huge shell lay across one side of the South Gate of Heaven, the Outer Ring Fleet had already lost the opportunity to completely drive the Imperial Fleet out of the South Gate of Heaven.
