Him and their stars.

Chapter 1957: Escape? Destroy the house!
Just like this, before the arrival of late November, the Sobek fleet sailed away from the Diamond Nebula in a mighty manner. Along the way, there were loud drums and gongs, waving dragon flags, and huge crowds of people.

After all, it is a huge strategic fleet, so it is impossible for it to carry out any secret march operations.

At that moment, the news of "General Sobek's going into battle" spread throughout the entire outer ring star region, and everything on the scene became visibly noisy.

In the near future, they should deploy a fleet formation, spread out a wide fan in a radius of seven or eight star systems, and expand the search range as much as possible while ensuring that the fleets can support each other. This is a standard pursuit formation.

Whether they were mobs, rebels, obedient citizens, or lackeys, most people did not know the purpose of this huge fleet, so they had to tremble in fear, be cautious, and keep a clear mind, not daring to act recklessly.

As a result, the rebel activities, which had already fallen into a low ebb, became even quieter.

However, with such a large-scale mobilization, even if the Silence failed to invade the Imperial Army's internal network channel, it would not be possible to hide it from everyone on the ship.

In fact, the crew of the Silence figured out their organization even earlier than the middle and lower-level officers of the Sobek fleet.

"The main combat force is nine battlecruisers including the Rabbit and five aircraft carriers, all of which were drawn from the Rowentour and Neyali fleets. In addition, in addition to the local security fleet, there are also reinforcements from the mainland of the Empire, forming a powerful auxiliary and escort fleet."

Yes, judging purely from the ship's combat readiness, personnel quality, and absolute numbers, it does deserve the evaluation of "strong combat power."

"So, it's still that Yutu." Yu Lian was more concerned about this issue.

"The Barbarossa-class dreadnought 'Grand Duke Ator' has a systemic safety hazard after a technical review due to a sudden leak in the rear energy pipeline. The ship has been transferred to the Xiaxiaguan Power Dock in the Xumoe Sector for a comprehensive overhaul, and is expected to be put into service in mid-January of the 835th year of the star calendar."

The above notification, of course, came from the Imperial Army’s internal network channel, and the Earthlings on the Silence naturally knew about it first.

"The task force commanded by Vice Admiral Jaeger Sobek will continue to use the battlecruiser 'Demon Suppression Rabbit' as its flagship during the mission of chasing the 'Ghost'. The mobilization fleet and the guard fleet of the Tyre sector will be temporarily under the command of Vice Admiral Sobek. In addition to the Archduke Ator, the other two Barbarossa dreadnoughts will be under the direct command of Duke Barion."

Of course, the above information is also compiled from various news sources on the intranet channel.

Therefore, even when Yu Lian was on the run, he couldn't help but feel full of sympathy and respect for his "old enemy and friend."

He had actually seen with his own eyes Sobek swaggering around the galaxy with three Barbarossa ships. According to industry rules, one of them should be his subsequent flagship.

But now, it’s gone.

Isn't this equivalent to the SSR that was played during the internal test not being implemented in the official version?

No, it's not just that. Not only did the ship not get to me, but it was also requisitioned by my boss. Isn't this like having an SSR paper wife that I finally got, but being forced to have a love affair with an NPC?

Yu Lian couldn't help but feel that if it were him, it would be considered cultured not to burn the operator to death.

Feifei said, "I heard that Duke Barryn is a relative of King Bei, and a close friend of King Wei. This actually involves the political struggle among the Dragon Kings. If Sobek suffered a loss, it would be equivalent to your orange cat suffering a loss. However, he chose to give in, and thus gained the Duke's support in terms of military strength. He is a smart man, and I really couldn't see it before. However, since he is someone that you and the orange cat both value, it is not surprising that he has such ability."

Yu Lian sniffed, looked up at the sky expressionlessly, then automatically ignored the middle sentence and commented seriously: "I am more inclined to believe that he is of high moral character."

"High moral character? Sobaike?" Feifei tilted her head and thought for a moment: "He does seem like a good person."

"Yes, he is a good man. Even though he is an enemy, this evaluation is unquestionable. The spirit of the universe will sometimes reward good people."

Although the Dreadnought was gone, Sobek's fleet did have one more dragon ship. Even though it was a dragon, the cost of this thing was comparable to that of a Titan, so it was hard to say that he really suffered a loss.

However, having said that, with dragon ships, imperial guards and guard fleets, each ship comes from so many departments. Although the scale is huge, there is still a strong sense of mob atmosphere.

Deng Zhengqing believes: "Although Sobek is a famous general of the time, it will take some time for him to unite this motley crowd. They simply cannot accomplish their mission of chasing us."

When saying this, Deng Zhengqing's face was full of confidence.

However, it is not known whether this noble Sobek really infected his soldiers. This group of rabble set out from Xiaguan on November 11 and passed through the Octon star system, the capital of Xumoe, on the 18th. Although this march was not as fast as the wind, it was still swift.

This is not the performance of a mob.

Deng Zhengqing was very surprised, but then he said: "But, with such a large-scale deployment, it seems that they have no intention of catching up with us. It seems more like they want to force us out of the empire's borders."

Captain Nemo thought this sounded reasonable, but after expressing his agreement, he still expressed his opinion in a calm, objective, cautious and neutral manner: "We still have to wait and see what they do next. As for our ship..."

"He chases his way and we fight our way." Yu Lian said with a smile.

Therefore, the Silent, which had already gotten rid of the "mirage state", continued to move forward according to the original plan at a steady pace that could slowly restore energy.

Although she was a towering ship, her gravity response during navigation and jump was as weak as that of a small pirate ship. She took a remote route, almost bypassing all patrol routes of the empire.

In fact, the Empire does not have many regular patrol fleets left in Syrmae, and being able to ensure the complete operation of the monitoring network is already a performance of doing its best.

In theory, it should be difficult for the Imperial pursuers to find the direction of the Silence.

However, 24 hours later, Yu received a report from the robot unit in the rear: the entire Sobek fleet sped up and rushed towards the Silence, like a group of hounds that had smelled a scent and were drugged.

They did catch up, and judging from the direction they were heading, they showed little hesitation.

Deng Zhengqing stopped talking. This development somewhat overturned his common sense.

Yu Lian said, "This is a judgment based on common sense. Since the imperials have sent out high-level star-seeing officers, they can pursue them relentlessly based on any clues, even a little pheromone. Once a war madman like that has made up his mind, even a person cannot escape forever, let alone a warship."

Speaking of this, Yu Lian suddenly felt a little nostalgic.

To be honest, during that period of time, although the Imperial Army sent out high-ranking star officers and knight commanders to surround him, and even sent out Titan ships to bombard him, but this cat-and-mouse game that lasted for three years and spanned half of the universe was also a wonderful part of life, wasn't it?
Aside from the fact that he had one hand chopped off and one kidney taken out, he still managed to escape. Such suffering eventually turned into a wealth that he could use up in both his lifetimes!
What a memorable experience! And I won, which made it even more memorable!

"Come to think of it, since the Sobek Fleet already has dragon ships, it's not surprising that there are several high-ranking star officers. Do you know who they are?"

Feifei said, "I'm not sure yet. But what is certain is that the person in charge of the dragon ship Yijian is another old friend of yours, Viscount Ymir of Shameen."

He is indeed another old friend, and can even be understood as old friends from two lives.

Normally, a psychic with deep resentment should feel pain in his wrists and numbness in his waist at this time, but he didn't feel that at all.

Could this mean that I had let it go a long time ago? Indeed, the man who had become the Grand Master of the Knights in the previous life, the powerful man who was as terrifying as a black hole, was actually about to be swept to the sidelines by me.

Unconsciously, it seemed that the only target he wanted to challenge was that one. The monster that had dominated this galaxy for two centuries! The monster that dominated half of the universe! The monster that was theoretically about to reach its end.

...Well, okay, after all, I have already made an agreement with Master. That is his prey.

Yu Lian retracted his wild thoughts and said to everyone, "Don't panic, this is expected. Let's stick to the original plan... Ha, Lieutenant Colonel Deng Zhengqing, what's wrong with your expression?"

Deng Zhengqing managed to calm his tangled expression and said with a wry smile, "If the Imperial Army had sent out high-ranking Star-Seeing Officers, would we have been destroyed long ago? No matter where we hide, we will be like rabbits stuck in a dead end, being picked out by hounds? I was originally smug about the results of my guerrilla warfare, but now I think that I was too arrogant."

Yu Lian smiled and said, "Supernatural power is limited, and the higher the level, the more you need to use it with discretion. Zhengqing, you are not that important yet."

Deng Zhengqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment: "Indeed, the imperial army is not serious at all. To them, we are not even a mosquito."

Feifei glanced at Mr. Ai, probably thinking that such an answer seemed too low in emotional intelligence.

"Of course, the Empire's use of supernatural powers is like a landlord who is so busy guarding his small home that he can't even afford to drink a bowl of sesame oil. The Alliance is the same in this regard."

"Your words are even more offensive to the Alliance."

If you say that the Alliance cannot fight and can only rely on its size advantage to gain an advantage, the chaebol masters of Nephi will probably remain calm and even say with confidence: they are all wealthy and respectable people who never fight and kill, and those who like to fight and kill are all imperial barbarians, etc. Size advantage is also an advantage, and size advantage is their life!
However, if you say that they are local rich people, these gentlemen who claim to be the controllers of wealth will definitely be upset.

Yu Lianze spread his hands and said, "That is the fact. However, when using the weapons that can be produced by mortal armies and factories, the two major countries are very decisive in killing. Billions of lives and billions of tons of steel are all consumables. This is no longer a military issue, but a social issue. Psychics are just a group that has mastered special powers, but they have become a class. This is one of the problems of our time, and it should be the most serious problem, but it is not all the problems."

This is a refreshing perspective, and everyone can't help but think about it.

Of course, these words may only be somewhat convincing when they come from Yu Lian, who is recognized as the most talented psychic in the past hundred years.

But even so, many people even showed expressions of shock and horror, as if saying, "How can I listen to such words? I hope I won't be silenced after listening to them."

"Fortunately, I am finally important now. At least I am an important member." Deng Zhengqing must have been comforted and forced a smile.

He then added: "However, it is a pity. Vice Admiral Sobek is indeed a powerful enemy. If we had known that he was on the battlecruiser Royal Rabbit, we should have fired a few more shots. Maybe we could have sent him away. Even if he was injured like Vice Admiral Rowentur, we would have been able to move more freely."

More than a week had passed since the battle that day, and the fact that Lieutenant General Olivia Rowentour had entered the petri dish could certainly not be concealed.

This is probably a strange duality between luck and misfortune.

Fortunately, the ultra-long-range artillery fire from the Silence, which was hiding 1.5 light years away, only caused minor damage to the Light Power, but caused an explosion on its bridge.

Unfortunately, even though the bridge was blown up, the enchanting girl with gold and silver eyes was not killed.

Well, after all, she is now a fourth-ring at least, so she must have some life-saving treasures. It's not surprising that she can survive.

As for Sobaike, Yu Lian certainly felt it was a bit of a pity.

After all, the battlecruiser's survivability is not as good as that of the Dreadnought, and it has no defense during high-speed marching. If I fire at the Rabbit, maybe I can send it away?
Although this guy looks like an invincible lucky star, what if? It doesn't cost anything to fire a few shots.

Of course, this is just some casual talk after the war.

In fact, after the Silence knocked out half of the ships of the Athlone fleet, the Bifang robots that remained in the Elanway galaxy were also sending a message: Although the flagships of the two lieutenant admirals were injured, the rest of the fleet was reorganizing its formation, and it was obvious that they were preparing for another attack.

Obviously, although the imperial army was stunned by the surprise attack, they had not lost their fighting spirit. In other words, once these elite troops reacted, they would be more angry, more fierce, more fearless, and more rampant than before.

If the Silence continues to fight, it may be able to break through, but there is no guarantee that it will remain intact or that its camouflage can be maintained.

Of course, when Yu Lian confirmed through spiritual induction that Xia Li had shaken off the pursuit of another imperial fleet, entered Gaixian, and moved step by step towards the heart of the empire, this disguise was no longer meaningful.

He ordered: "Very good, then follow the original plan and head towards the Shantik galaxy."

The Silence completely ignored the pursuers behind it and arrived above the Shantik galaxy on the border of Syrmaëa on the last day of November.

Unlike most of the cold and hard galaxies in the Sumoe star zone, which are densely packed with mines, factories and labor camps, this galaxy even has a different style.

This is a galaxy with a warm yellow sun as its core, and has twelve planets. In the fourth orbit is a blue ocean planet. This is also a picturesque planet.

The ocean, the beaches, the islands are all beautiful, and even the local animals on the planet are beautiful, docile, and friendly.

This is also a famous holiday resort in the empire. Many lords have built manors and villas on islands here.

"It's much more beautiful than New Seville." Anne Romanova commented. She had been invited by her younger sister Lilia to visit Lumina's sister planet several times, so she naturally had a say.

"Indeed. Maybe the water and air on this planet have a sweet smell." Yu Lian assured the Spirit of the Universe that he really did not have any sarcastic intention when he said this.

"The tearfish on this planet are good friends of humans because they are delicious." Feifei said to Yu Lian.

Under Yu Lian's regretful gaze, Annie smiled and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"From today on, the Imperial Army can be sure that we are not Xia Li's sisters." Feifei said.

"It doesn't matter. They could have thought of it a long time ago." Yu Lian stood with his hands folded, watching a missile with a bright flame pass through the atmosphere and whistling into the blue sea.

He knew that all the surveillance equipment in orbit around this ocean planet, both military and civilian, would certainly witness this precise strike.

Soon, the entire empire will see this scene: the cluster warhead breaks into 300 sub-oscillators 8,000 meters below the sea, like steel dandelions scattered into the abyss.

The first round of shock waves will immediately tear apart the "Coral Crown" research institute hidden under the sea, which is the most important active conductor research institute in the Galactic Empire.

The subsequent secondary shock will strangle the trench ore vein all the way, turning the two operating indigo stone purification workshops into dust, and will also bury the rich zero element ore vein under the huge waves that will soon be set off.

As for whether it would spread to any nearby lord’s villa or beach, Yu Lian could only wish them good luck.

This is war after all, and nothing can be avoided.
