Him and their stars.

Chapter 1956 Friends

In short, it was still a rebellious act that was very consistent with the captain's personality, but what he said still made sense. Putting aside the fact that they were a bit of a mob, as long as Sobek could really absorb and digest this fleet, he would control the outer ring war zone, which was the most powerful strategic mobile force besides the troops directly under Duke Barion.

Of course, after all, we are forming a new strategic force, and it is impossible for it to be all good news all the time.

The new flagship that Sobek originally ordered, the Grand Duke Ator, one of the three Barbarossa-class ships, was subsequently monitored for safety issues. The energy pipelines laid in the rear cabin were damaged to a certain extent, and uncontrolled current flowed out, igniting a back kitchen, burning two induction cookers, a refrigerator and three roast ducks.

The fire was then discovered by fire-fighting robots and completely extinguished.

Fire accidents are unavoidable, but this may mean that there is a possibility of safety hazards in the important energy system of this dreadnought. If it suddenly breaks out during high-intensity pursuit and combat, it may become a nightmare for all the soldiers on the ship.

At least, when Duke Barian got angry about this, no one had any reason to do so.

"Since there are such security risks, we can no longer carry out long-term pursuit missions. Lieutenant General Sobaek, you should still use the Demon-Suppressing Rabbit as your flagship for this operation." Duke Barian said.

The subordinates, led by Miss Cellu, were very dissatisfied, thinking that the Duke was taking advantage of the situation to detain their own dreadnought, but the person involved did not care at all.

Sobek also had an official residence in the Sky Realm, but he spent much more time on the Royal Rabbit than in that luxurious orbital villa. It can be said that this battlecruiser is his home.

As a person who needs a sense of security, he really doesn't want to move.

Of course, after all, it is the Barbarossa class, and it can compete with the Lord God class produced by the Alliance for the most powerful and fearless star battleship. After all, it can still satisfy the vanity of normal people, and its survivability on the battlefield should be much stronger than that of the battlecruiser.

How to choose really tests one's judgment.

In addition, Sobek felt that he was overthinking the Barbarossa class. As an imperial general, he really shouldn't curse his own "most perfect dreadnought" with malice. Maybe it was because he was not strong enough to suppress it.

No matter what, he was still very grateful to the Duke for making the choice for him.

This is the responsibility of a big shot!

He nodded and accepted the order: "Since it is not suitable for pursuit missions, it can be used for blockade missions while undergoing maintenance. During this process, the ship can also undergo a final comprehensive repair and test before it can be officially put into service. I will give you the test report completed during this period later."

The Duke looked at Soback, who had a proud and responsible face, and felt a little moved and guilty.

"Duke Saduran has trained an excellent successor for the future of the Imperial Army. General Sobek, I only hope that you remember that the Galactic Empire will never let down outstanding generals who are dedicated to the public good. You are the most precious wealth of the Tirero people."

He said solemnly, "I will order all fortresses to cooperate with your actions as much as possible. In addition, the Privy Council will soon have the Taylor Sector initiate the first round of mobilization orders. The mobilized local fleets will also be under your control. Their combat effectiveness is indeed not satisfactory, but at least they can delay the enemy's attack."

At this point, the Duke's words had a hint of cruelty. Of course, this was the usual style of the Tirello people, and everyone should be familiar with it.

In short, Jaeger Sobek returned to his loyal Hare again and was warmly welcomed by Captain Pegase.

If you put aside the captain's gloating face, everything is perfect.

As I said, being in a familiar workplace with familiar and friendly comrades-in-arms naturally doubled the happiness. I forgot about it in the middle, but it was still a dreamlike and happy time after all.

And in such a dreamlike and happy time, the Sobaek fleet also received more heavyweight reinforcements.

First came Serlu's cousin, High-level Astronomical Officer Hermissa Seredel, who came on board to report to Sobaik as a high-level astronomical officer, fleet mysticism consultant, chief servant calculator, and chief navigator.

"The battlecruiser Yuto lacks a fully functional observatory, so I may spend most of my time on Yijian. I hope you will approve it." She spoke in an expressionless voice without any fluctuations, texture or ups and downs, and at first glance she looked like a robot.

But even so, this high-ranking star officer gave Sobaek enough face.

For some reason, Miss Serlu seemed relieved when she heard that Officer Hoshimi was not on the flagship most of the time.

...Didn't you say that you two cousins ​​have a very good relationship?

As for the "Yijian" mentioned by the officer of Hemissa Star, it was naturally the dragon ship that had just joined the fleet. Although its size and mass were only about three-quarters of the Yutu, it had an expensive and meticulously crafted appearance, and it looked like it cost at least ten times more than the former.

The ship was fully staffed, even a little overstaffed. Six dragons, four regular knights and eight vain knights. However, according to the laws of the Star Knights, vain knights were not qualified to ride dragons and could only perform combat support tasks. If a boarding battle really occurred, they would sit at the same table with the grenadiers and take the landing craft.

Needless to say, who prepared the two extra dragons.

"But I don't know how to ride a dragon either," said Sobaek.

"I'm not good at it either, but you're a psychic after all, and you follow the path of a knight. At your level, you can't say you can't do it even if you don't like it," said Miss Cellu.

Thus, in addition to his regular work of uniting soldiers, commanding the fleet, and chasing the "Ghost", Vice Admiral Jaeger Sobek also had the task of learning to ride a dragon.

When he was a struggling young man in a small town, he never thought that he would have to work so hard after he succeeded.

This made him think of the words in "Original".

"Is it true that a person's life is destined to be a life of hard work and restlessness?" Sobaike said sadly.

Captain Peggs scratched his head and said helplessly: "Well, the book talks about the situation and fate of the workers. The workers are oppressed, exploited and despised for their whole life. It is quite different from your situation. However, this... since you have begun to empathize, I think this is actually a very good start."

What is a good start? I have always been a very compassionate person.

Sobaek was a little dissatisfied, but he also knew that if he really expressed excessive sympathy in this direction, the problem would be very serious.

As for Sobaek's dragon knight instructor, it was certainly not Miss Cellu, but his long-lost old comrade, Viscount Ymir of Shamene, who was listed as one of the Four Heavenly Kings together with him.

"Major General Ymir Shameen reports to you, Commander!"

He will be the direct person in charge of the dragon ship, and will coordinate and command all available extraordinary combat forces in the entire fleet. In addition, he will also be another deputy commander of the fleet.

Of course, considering that although he is very famous and is the rising star of the Knights Templar, he has never served as a commander of a large army, so he can only serve as Sobek's deputy.

During the Glory Mission military exercise that just ended at the God of War Festival, Sobek was his assistant, but now the positions of both parties have been reversed. However, this young high-level astral knight did not feel embarrassed at all.

Sobek said, "I should be reporting to you. You were my instructor during the first period of training when I first joined the Knights, and now you are my instructor again... But, coming to the point, aren't you preparing for the breakthrough of a saint?"

"This is just external propaganda. Although I have some talent, how can I compare with the amazing talents of His Royal Highness Prince Su and Count Jiafeil? I am even worse than that demon dragon. To achieve a saint before the age of 30 is already a record-breaking achievement for the family, and I am worthy of my ancestors. I told the public that I am preparing for a breakthrough, but it seems more like I am avoiding showing up." Viscount Shamen laughed brightly: "Besides, I am first and foremost a knight of the empire and a soldier of the empire. I must obey the orders of the Privy Council. I am very grateful to the Privy Council for giving me a job!"

It can be said that he has let it go, but it can also be said that he has accepted his fate, depending on how you understand it.

Sobek thought it was the former. At least, this guy was much more cheerful than the last time they met, which was of course very good.

Viscount Shamaien added: "Grandmaster Garybion is very concerned about the war situation in the Outer Rim. She said that she felt a deep crisis, which was closely related to the fate of the empire. It was even more serious than the war situation on the front line of the Community. In addition to me, there should be reinforcements coming."

"..."

"After the Battle of Far Shore, the Grand Master's predictions will always be doubted. You are also a party to the Metamorphosis Plan, so you may feel it more." The young Knight Commander lowered his voice and said, "Moreover, the internal part of the home star zone is actually not peaceful. Everyone is worried that the scene more than 50 years ago will be repeated in the homeland of the empire. The Knights, the Inquisition, and even the Star Viewing Pavilion are all on high alert. The more so, the more we must not let the things in the outer ring spread to the heart of the empire!"

Sobek sighed, "These are troubled times!"

"This is also cultivation! Both people and countries need cultivation. Besides, going through the current suffering is our own choice, so of course we can only keep moving forward until we overcome it all."

Ordinary people don’t make this choice, it’s the decision makers.

With this thought in mind, Sobaek soon received the latest news about "Ghost".

The detectors deployed in the Octon system, the capital of the Sumoe star sector, discovered a familiar gravitational response.

The good news is that it didn't get too far.

The bad news is that no matter how much Jaeger Sobek resists, he has to set out on the pursuit.
