Him and their stars.

Chapter 1958: Long time no see, Miss Sword Saint

Even the imperial nobles who were reluctant to leave this beautiful blue planet would never have imagined that a laboratory specializing in the study of active conductors was hidden in the deep sea of ​​this sparkling planet.

After all, the flat and stable shallow sea area on the bottom of this planet has rich reserves of zero element veins. In the sequence of zero elements, the usage sequence of indigo stone is not particularly high, but it is also a type of zero element after all.

These strange minerals with their own mystical reactions will endow the ocean with full and abundant vitality, creating a wonderful, harmonious and magnificent ecological environment on this planet, but this is only one of the changes.

In fact, a large amount of indigo stone, a small amount of the accompanying aquamarine and moonstone crystals, formed a strange and balanced force field entanglement 2000 meters below the deep blue sea.

This high-frequency voltage-stabilizing environment is a natural testing ground for new conductor materials.

In the deep sea where the planet's magnetic field and the zero element force field are entangled, the reefs formed by indigo corals are the best raw materials for this kind of conductor.

They are commonly used in heraldry machines and the alchemy systems of all weapons.

Compared with this level of high-energy laboratories, the two deep-sea purification workshops built next to the zero-element ore veins can only be regarded as supplements.

Since we are here now, wouldn't it be unfair to all the soldiers on the ship if we don't do something?

Yu Lian looked at the vortex rising on the blue planet. He could see the vortex with his naked eyes, so it was a huge wave with a height of more than 500 meters.

Soon after, Yu Lian also received feedback from the combat department.

"A magnitude 9.8 earthquake has occurred in the center of the ocean in Zone A of the planet Titiank. The main shock is expected to last for 20 minutes. It will create a stratum tear zone of more than 1200 kilometers in the ocean of the planet."

The attack effect was better than he had imagined. Even if the experimental factory hidden in the deep sea had its shield on all year round, it would definitely be submerged by the torn crust and the volcano erupting from the seabed.

Afterwards, the battleship terminal also gave a more detailed calculation result: "It is expected that within five years, there will be more than a hundred aftershocks of magnitude 6 or above on the planet."

They all tacitly did not report the damage to civilian facilities caused by the tsunami and earthquake. Since Yu Lian did not mention it, the others did not care much.

This beautiful planet is famous for its tourism, premium seafood and premium exotic spices, but after this orbital bombardment, it may take more than a decade for it to recover simply because of the subsequent geological disasters. Although it is not the first native planet of the Empire to be attacked since the war began, it will definitely be the most famous.

This is certainly not because of the confidential laboratory that was submerged in the deep-sea earthquake, but because of the seaside resorts, resort towns and luxury villas on the surrounding islands that were destroyed by the tsunami.

Afterwards, the Silence appeared in the form of a Black Sheep King-class war aircraft carrier used by the Grand Duchy of Letalin, within the maximum distance that the Empire could monitor, and continued to jump away in the direction of the Taylor star sector.

This is certainly not the first time that the Silence has carried out strikes on targets within the Empire.

In fact, a week ago, when the Silence passed through the capital of Xymoe, Octon, it had destroyed the orbital refinery located on the outskirts of the galaxy with long-range artillery fire.

This time it wasn't an arc, but a pretty standard ion cannon.

The skin was not Xia Li's, but the "Corona" dreadnought used by the Kaitai people. There was a certain discrepancy in the size of the two, but in the chaotic reconnaissance environment, the Imperial monitoring department could only capture a vague outline, which was enough.

This is probably why Sobaek's task force had to pass through Octon.

In this case, they must cross the border from Tishank.

This was indeed the case. Just as the Silence was marching towards the direction of Tailai along a zigzag route, they also received the following intelligence information.

"The Yeager Sobek Task Force has arrived at the Shantik system on December 834, 12 C.E., and has quickly restored local law and order. The Ghost fled upon hearing the news! The Task Force will continue its pursuit."

"The 6th Task Force Patrol Fleet of the Terai Sector Security Command is gathering at the Misele Fortress and waiting for orders! Use the fortress to block the Ghost's escape route."

"The garrison fleet of the Gate of Glory is on full alert! Admiral Xiong promised to ensure smooth traffic between the mainland and the New World war zone!"

Well, who says that a military intranet channel can’t do some versatile journalism operations?
But it is an intranet after all, and from these news, everyone can be sure that the Sobaik fleet was forced to leave at least twenty large and small ships and 30,000 people in the picturesque but earthquake-stricken Shantik galaxy for disaster relief.

This may be due to the pressure from the gentlemen whose holiday villas were bombed.

Who says that the noble Lord of Tirello is truly public-spirited and honor-first?
"So that's it! I finally understand! In fact, you are deliberately mobilizing the action to pull back Sobek, making them tired and exhausted, and then you can launch a counterattack?" Captain Nemo suddenly realized.

"That's right. In addition to slowing down their actions, we can also delay their military strength. If the Sobek fleet keeps splitting up its forces, his Rabbit will sooner or later be exposed to our artillery fire without any cover!" Deng Zhengqing thought a little deeper.

He looked as if he was eager to let the "Flower of Famous General" wither directly in the sky of Xumoe.

Yes, the evaluation of Jaeger Sobek as the "flower of famous generals" also spread along with the evaluation of Duke Barion. The Imperial Army and the Earthlings seemed to think that this nickname was very appropriate, and even Yu Lian only appeared for half a minute.

He told everyone: "I don't have such a long-term plan. In the final analysis, it is just relying on the performance of the Silence and the wind and waves. Our current goal is to reach Taylor to liberate our comrades, and in the process, we can take advantage of the ship's strong guns to knock down some valuable targets. It's just a matter of doing it."

Of course, the actions taken along the way can indeed divert the enemy's attention, but it's just a natural thing.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt that the commander was truly a man of high character, modesty and courtesy, and they were naturally even more moved. Feifei was probably the only one on the ship who believed in herself, but she always enjoyed everyone's flattery more than the person involved.

The tragic situation in the Tishank galaxy did attract the attention of the Imperial Army. After leaving behind a rescue force, the Sobaik fleet could only expand the search network once again.

This was the most dispersed time for the Sobek Task Force since it left Xiaguan. Only thirty ships were left accompanying the Royal Rabbit, including the dragon ship.

If their enemies really intend to launch a counterattack, this might be the best opportunity.

However, regardless of whether Sobaek and his men subjectively revealed such a flaw, the strange "ghost" did not appear.

But at this time, the Silence had completed a round trip and fled to another important production base in the Xumoe star region, a place called the "Zhutan Galaxy".

They are now getting farther and farther away from the Taylor Star Sector, which is indeed causing a great shock to the Imperial fleet that is on high alert at the border of the star sector.

What followed was, of course, still a standard and neat salvo of energy cannons, which reduced the garrison base in the orbit of the main star to dust, and also killed 20,000 guards and at least 50 multi-purpose ships in the galaxy.

From today on, the imperial defense and security forces in this galaxy were immediately declared to be collapsed. Considering that this prosperous galaxy actually still has more than 20 labor camps with a scale of more than one million, the situation suddenly became delicate.

"General He Wen said that there is a rebel organization taking action in this galaxy." Deng Zhengqing thought of the information he got from his allies.

"That's true. The main rebel organization has at least two dozen members, and the Fujiezhen and Suzijun also have liaison offices here." Yu Lian said.

This is the galaxy with the largest number of slaves in the entire Xumoe. As long as the leaders of various rebel organizations have basic common sense, they will definitely develop here.

They witnessed the destruction of the Imperial garrison with their own eyes, and anyone with a working brain would of course react.

In reality, this is also the case. The national Titan ship disguised as the Alliance passed over the mother planet of the Zhutan system and clearly captured the flames burning in the labor camps on the planet.

Two hours later, a rebel general who called himself "Marshal Fantian" occupied the planet's office and communication terminals and announced to the entire universe that the planet now belonged to the rebel soldiers and civilians.

It is indeed a very characteristic title of the rebel army, but putting that aside, their action this time is indeed remarkable. "Beautiful action! It deserves the evaluation of being as fast as the wind and as powerful as thunder." Even Feifei couldn't help but praise it.

She looked at Yu Lian and smiled again, "I would have thought you were in charge of this yourself."

Yu Lian suddenly felt that his emotional value was maxed out, and nodded slightly, saying, "They must have been preparing for a long time, but their actions are indeed decisive."

However, what is interesting is that although the rebels occupied the communication relay station between the planet and outer space, they did not seem to be prepared to make any contact with the "Alliance Titan" which was nearby.

Of course, the same is true for Yu Lian.

The two sides maintained a strange tacit understanding and slowly distanced themselves from each other.

When the Silence was about to leave the communication range, Feifei finally asked, "Are you sure you don't want to keep in touch?"

Of course, she was asking this more for the rest of her comrades on the ship.

"So, who should I contact?"

The Empire's rebel groups have never been a problem of too few, but too many.

The embarrassing situation of Peleliu Hewen being exiled in disguise made Yu Lian clearly realize that most of the uprising organizations in the empire actually regarded primary colors as a fashionable decoration.

Their essence still remains at the level of "murder and arson to be recruited".

Those who see themselves as pure avengers, ready to fight to the death, are the most determined; and those who organize their co-workers to build a hand-made spaceship and escape along Tan Gong Trail are definitely the most progressive.

What path the rebels will take in the future is up to them to decide, create and adapt to history.

“I don’t actually understand the general trend of history, so I’m not qualified to give them advice. And rationally speaking, we don’t have the power to help them,” Yu Lian explained to everyone.

"You have actually opened the door to the future for them. But whether they will go on or not depends on their own efforts. This is what the saints and wise men have been teaching since ancient times," Captain Nemo comforted.

Deng Zhengqing looked at the captain in amazement. He actually held the same view, but being able to say something as disgusting as the captain actually tested one's willpower.

As for Feifei, she looked back at the planet where the gongs and drums were beating and the atmosphere was bustling, and sighed: "The sudden rise and fall can at least become the nourishment of history."

The action of the Silence did put a great strain on the Imperial Army. The battlecruiser formation led by the Rabbit had to give up the plan to go to the Tyre sector to meet up with reinforcements, and turned to rush towards the direction of the Jutan system.

On the other side, the Bagang fleet, which was chasing Xia Li all the way to Gaixian, also slowed down, as if it was in a state of hesitation.

Putting himself in the shoes of the Imperial Army, Yu Lian felt that he would make the same choice if he were in the Imperial Army's shoes.

Of course, the Empire cannot let the "Ghost" continue to destroy the Sumoe Star Sector. It must mobilize enough forces to encircle and suppress it. From another perspective, since the "Ghost" is stranded at the border of the star sector, isn't it an opportunity?
On December 12, the Sobek fleet finally arrived at the Jutan galaxy in a mighty force. The Baghan fleet, which had hesitated for at least 7 hours, finally continued to move forward under the order of Duke Barian.

But at this time, their target, the Zerg Queen herself, who had been considering keeping a low profile the whole time, had already calmly crossed the border of the star zone and entered the border of the Gaixian star zone.

She entered the "central ring" of the empire's territory even earlier than Yu Lian.

Xia Li had already left the pursuers far behind. With the stealth capabilities of the Hive flagship, as long as she didn't commit suicide, she could survive healthily.

The above message was sent to me by a lord who stayed at the border of Gaixian through the Zerg network. It can be seen that Xia Li did not forget to continue sowing the seeds of the Zerg while escaping.

Anyway, I have done my best as an ally. Of course, you will have to walk the road ahead on your own!

As Yu Lian sighed, the Silence safely escaped the encirclement before the Sobaik fleet gathered its troops to encircle it, completing its third round trip during this voyage and heading back to its original destination, the direction of the Taylor star sector.

All the pursuers were heading in the opposite direction, but they knew nothing about it.

The route of the Silence was like dancing on a knife's edge, but it was still safe. Everyone on the ship once again expressed their admiration for the commander's art of command, which was almost evolved into respect.

Yu Lian himself still modestly said that he was just relying on the performance of the Silence to play extreme micro-manipulation. If it really came to the technique of playing hide-and-seek in the universe, he couldn't even keep up with Yang Xiyi.

This is of course what he really means.

Compared to the invincible Enlightener battleship, Teacher Yang led an entire fleet to fight in all the starry skies of the New World, which was much more difficult than his own.

Yu Lian really felt that after rescuing Taylor’s comrades, they could indeed try to break through the Gate of Glory, walk through the New World to the Tower of Babel and retreat to the New China.

By then, he really wanted to have a good chat and laugh with Yang Xiyi.

Yu Lian now really feels that Teacher Yang's insight into war and tactical sense are like a kind of talent, even more mysterious than Feifei's psychic talent.

While he was thinking, Feifei had already carried the tray to the bridge on the fifth floor and brought lunch for the two of them. She also informed Yu Lian that the Silence had crossed the star zone border and entered the Taylor star zone.

Then, just as Yu Lian had expected, there were no defenders, not even a deep space probe.

"You have found another path that no one has noticed and even the Imperial Army has ignored." Feifei said.

"The universe is connected in all directions. But, as I said, we should be grateful for the performance of the Silence. Big ships cannot take small roads. This is common sense in the aerospace industry of this era. The Empire is also limited by this common sense. But we are not like that." Yu Lian shrugged and spread his hands, taking his plate of big brown sugar buns. The round shape of the buns was obviously made by Feifei herself, and he said that his appetite had come.

As I said, a psychic at his level can literally live on nothing, but delicious food is still an important spiritual enjoyment.

Psychics are such an idealistic group, who dares to say that emotional values ​​are not important?
Feifei nodded, and poured Yu Lian another glass of iced wine, smiling meaningfully: "But you always find the path."

"Uh, what do you guys say?"

"Everyone is used to it." Feifei said with a smile: "If you fail, everyone will think that it is not you who is at fault, but the universe."

"then you……"

"My fish can do anything. After all, you are the Dawnbreaker, and even the Ash Traveler must obey you."

The Ash Traveler refers to the patron saint of adventurers and explorers in the imperial mythology. It originated in the era of the mother planet, and in the interstellar era, of course, it has become an unpopular cultural allusion.

Although it also had a bit of the meaning of "I and Mr. Xu from the north of the city", Yu Lian still got a huge emotional value, but grinned and said: "You didn't say this specifically, did you?"

Feifei nodded and opened her terminal. A strange smile appeared on her face.

"This is the latest wanted warrant issued by the Taylor Sector. It has been transferred to the Inquisition."

It was a blurry profile, even a little distorted. But Yu Lian could tell at a glance that it was not the long-lost Gongsun Qing, but who else could it be?
