Him and their stars.

Chapter 1952 As if there is no one around
Even Lieutenant General Ineali, an Imperial general who prided himself on his ability to control his emotions, felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.

Although the ghost-like enemy did not fully appear, its vague outline immediately reminded him of the Imperial Army’s latest important victory - the "space Leviathan" that looked like a "worm pupa".

Yes, they were the Imperial Army's main target during the year-long counterinsurgency campaign.

Lieutenant General Rowentour submitted a very detailed report to the Grand Marshal's Office, making a very detailed analysis report on this pupa-like "alien creature".

She believed that the individuals that they had killed and captured before were just individuals of a kind of swarm-like creatures, very similar to crystal clusters, void clouds, nuclear worms, etc.

The large insect pupa Leviathans she killed and captured were nothing more than slightly larger soldier bees.

Whose soldier bee is as big as a battleship? Even those mysterious virtual creatures don't have such a colorful setting, right?

This is of course quite subversive to the public's perception, but the bigwigs in the Privy Council and the Grand Marshal's Office are willing to believe in the judgment of Lieutenant General Rowentour.

The female general believed that only by capturing the queen of the bee colony could she have accomplished her goal.

So, this battle took place.

Now, the queen they had been trying so hard to capture had indeed appeared, but in a way that no one had expected.

She went from being the prey to being the hunter. She was much larger than initially thought, as big as a Titan.

On such a battlefield, it was like a hungry lion descending upon a flock of sheep.

Of course, although the above facts are horrifying, they are not the horrifying ones.

What really frightened Lieutenant General Neyali and his subordinates was the location where he appeared.

His outline has reached the point where it can be captured with the naked eye. By the standards of cosmic warfare, that is equivalent to appearing face to face.

When the Grim Reaper wielding a scythe suddenly reveals his true identity in front of you, and grins at you with his hideous skull face, even the bravest warrior will be frightened out of his wits.

Lieutenant General Neyali stared at all this in amazement and was speechless for a full half minute.

Of course, no one noticed the general's gaffe. Everyone on the battlecruiser, the Rampart Guardian, was much more horrified than their general.

In other words, all the imperial forces in the entire galaxy were probably shocked by this terrifying scene. Time froze at this moment.

General Neyali immediately realized that the enemy not only appeared close to him, but also appeared in the center of an equilateral triangle formation formed by three battlecruisers.

If it is during the white-hot stage of the decisive battle of the space fleet, when all the warships cannot maintain the basic formation and can only be entangled in fighting each other, once they are surrounded by enemy ships, they can almost be regarded as falling into a dead end.

However, if we change our way of thinking, this can also be understood as center firing?

"Quick! Get out of the way immediately! Get out of the way immediately! Put all your energy into the shield!" the lieutenant general roared, giving a contradictory order for the first time.

Then, in the sudden flash of strong light, the huge "pupa" finally revealed its full appearance. The cold chitinous carapace formed an appearance full of biological characteristics, like a starry sky Leviathan from the ancient times billions of years ago, a primitive predator that feeds on planets and civilizations.

But, is He really a living being? Is He really the mother of those alien species?

Vice Admiral Neyali stared at the enemy so close, and when he saw the dazzling white light transform into a rushing stream of light, he felt that his vision was completely deprived, and the metal structure of the warship under his feet suddenly trembled, as if responding to the resonance of the opponent.

His doubts were immediately disrupted by the reports that came one after another. The shouts of doubting his subordinates completely made him give up his basic thinking ability: "General! High-energy response on the port side! High-energy response on the port side!"

"The shield is over... No, there is no overload! The high-energy reaction is inside the ship!"

"There was an explosion on board!"

"Simulated gravity mechanism out of control! Pay attention to air flow! Open the emergency isolation cabin!"

"All crew members, wear space support suits! I repeat, all crew members wear space support suits!"

"The bridge needs support! Quick, cover the commander and get him into the lifeboat immediately! Quick!"

"The Athlone Fleet is sailing, everything is fine... Why the hell are they still reporting safety?"

In such chaos, of course, no one could notice that the huge "Leviathan" was flashing unnatural waves, like a mosaic when a video skips frames. When the three battlecruisers were burned by the "Leviathan"'s close attack and began to evade in all directions, the pupa-like "Leviathan" that had completed the attack also began to swagger forward.

It leisurely passed through the Imperial fleet that it had beaten to a pulp and sank into the gravity well. Its terrifying body was stretched into a line and sank into the other side of the starry sky, turning into a tiny dot and disappearing in an instant.

The officers and soldiers of the empire witnessed all this happening, stunned and hesitant, completely forgetting that they still had a large number of intact fleet forces left, and forgot to continue the pursuit.

In other words, they had to pretend that they had forgotten about the pursuit.

Hundreds of imperial warships and hundreds of thousands of troops were so intimidated by a single target that they dared not move an even a step. It was indeed too disgraceful to say this out loud.

However, they did not dare to act rashly, just like a flock of sheep that had just been visited by a lion.

As for the "worm pupa" that had already entered the gravity well channel, that is, on the Wide Silence, the crew only let out a small cheer at this time.

They certainly have the right to cheer.

From using the enemy's trick to lying in wait for a long time, until the Imperial Army split into two groups and began to deploy, they seized the fleeting opportunity and began to hunt. With a beautiful maneuver and three salvos, they were sure to sink or damage at least three enemy battleships, two of which even had standard flagship markings.

Maybe this attack could take out two vice admirals at once. This would be as valuable as sinking a capital ship.

More importantly, after completing the attack, everyone "appeared" in a swagger, broke out from the center of the enemy's encirclement, and walked away.

The imperial army did not dare to pursue.

If there is anything in this world that is more satisfying than "showing off in front of others", it must be "showing off in front of the enemy". Thus, everyone's vanity is greatly satisfied.

Of course, in addition to cheering, there are naturally smart people who remember that although the credit for this battle belongs to every soldier who fought hard, it ultimately belongs to the commander-in-chief who had a thorough plan and brilliant strategy.

Captain Nemo wiped away the tears from his eyes, trying to suppress his excitement, "I finally understand what it means to have a thousand troops and white horses and white robes. I finally understand what it means to kill one person every ten steps and leave no name for a thousand miles."

Come on, that's the Captain's style indeed.

To be honest, this kind of overreacted flattery would only seem greasy and awkward if it came from anyone else, but when it was said by the captain, it was full of sincerity and the emotional value was immediately maximized.

I have to admit that this is also a kind of racial talent.

However, a modest gentleman like Deng Zhengqing would probably be very dissatisfied with this shameless flattery.

Thinking of this, Yu Lian glanced at the side with the corner of his eye, and saw Deng Zhengqing with a dazed look on his face. He seemed to have completely ignored the captain's actions, and was just looking at the rhythmic star map on the ceiling of the Silence's bridge. His expression was so shocked that he was almost speechless, as if he was on a pilgrimage.

Well, it was the first time he witnessed the combat capability of the Silence with his own eyes, so it was normal for him to have such a reaction.

"Such courage, such decisiveness! Such movement is like thunder, and unpredictable is like the shadow! Even if the grandson is resurrected, he can only admit that he is an academician!"

Yu Lian really enjoyed it. He was very satisfied with it. Although he was still not free from vulgar tastes, it was also very fruitful.

However, considering that Feifei next to me was covering her mouth and looking at me with a half-smile, if I got carried away, it would probably become a black history that she would laugh at for the rest of my life, right?
He quickly coughed, forced out an awkward and stiff expression, and said helplessly: "That's it. Captain, the battle is not over yet! We just broke through, the real hunt has not yet begun."

The captain was slightly startled, then he said in a serious tone: "Indeed, although we have damaged several enemy battleships, we have not sunk any ship after all. So, we..."

Yu Lian smiled and said, "Since the empire masters have brought the feast to the table, wouldn't it be a shame if we don't have a good meal?"

This refers to the Athlone fleet that is still moving slowly on the TR channel ahead.

Until now, they are still sending the message "everything is fine" to the people around them.

Captain Nemo understood immediately: "Guys, it's not time to open the champagne yet! Our target is the Athlone Fleet on the opposite side! The hunt is just beginning! Everyone, take your positions! If we are injured by the Imperial Devil's Guard Fleet, you can all go and slit your throats!"

Everyone responded loudly, but this time there was a hint of dissatisfaction.

After all, they had just damaged a group of battleships, and suddenly the prey changed to small and medium-sized ships. The psychological gap was inevitable.

At this time, Feifei reminded: "Based on the current consumption, the Mirage System will reach the critical point in three hours at most. In addition, the Sobek fleet is on its way, and they have three dreadnoughts."

Yu Lian sighed with some regret: "Then we should quit while we are ahead. Notify the entire ship to withdraw from the battlefield before the critical point arrives."
