Him and their stars.

Chapter 1989 The Ghost Appears

Soon, Miss Neil, who was operating various optical projection keyboards quickly, received Feifei's thoughts.

"Close the ship entrance on the other side."

"It's being processed, everything is going well. Don't worry, they can't take a detour."

Feifei looked at the other side of the port, which was the direction where the Slen Summer had just entered the port. Although the armored gate there had not been lowered, the force field barrier was still operating normally.

In addition, the two automatic turrets by the door had already turned back and pointed toward the universe again. There were a few celestial sphere-sized Bifang robots bouncing around beside the turrets, as if they were the gunners.

"Thank you for your hard work. In fact, you are the one who contributed the most in this battle." Feifei said with a smile.

"You're too kind. It's nothing more than the entry-level exam level for information engineers. I'm talking about the general professional title, not the qualification to join the association." The engineer lady seemed quite proud. Of course, after all, it was the boss's compliment, and her tone was filled with unconcealed happiness.

As an excellent pilot, a well-trained engineer, and the only psychic in the Brotherhood of Omnics, Miss Nair can responsibly state that the situation ahead is indeed not small, but it is nothing more than a signal relay and the role of a physical interface.

When the nanorobots turned into network cables and penetrated into any port of the fortress, the high-dimensional computing power from the Silence arrived into the data castle of the fortress like a soldier who had found an entrance passage.

At this stage, everything falls into place.

So, the second minute after the Imperial Army defenders at the port laid down their weapons, Feifei and the others received news from the Silence headquarters.

"Connecting to the interior of the fortress. Their protection system is updating the quantum lock formula in a timely manner."

"The technical department has stepped in. Start cracking the firewall!"

"The quantum lock update efficiency is far inferior to our verification speed, so we can immediately implant the paralysis command."

"This ship is about to depart. The Marines are ready to land."

Feifei pressed the earphone and told Gongsun Qing, "Very good, we will stay here and don't move."

The latter held the sword, aimed at the Queen Electress's neck with a dangerous look, and responded to Feifei with a gesture that it was all right.

The passage from the port to the main fortress was blocked by a huge armored gate, but the imperial army outside could not get in either. Isn't this a solid fortress?
Looking at the screen again, the imperial reinforcements who came from the fortress to support finally opened a gap with great difficulty after breaking several laser drills. However, they felt a little desperate when they saw another door of the same specifications and model and even with an extra layer of force field shield appearing in front of them.

The Empire's usual meticulousness in its military facilities seemed to have turned into a whirlpool of despair here.

Admiral Kaijielu's eyes were fixed on another screen. It was a picture that the fortress' central control automatically popped up to the commander, a complete holographic diagram of the fortress' structure.

He listened to the alarms of the entire fortress echoing in the cabin, and looked at the red light flashing on the structural diagram. The spider-web-like internal routes were constantly marked with truncated signs, which were the signs that armored doors were falling one after another.

"Warning. Warning. The isolation door of the fortress is being closed urgently. All members please put on space suits immediately. This is not a drill. Repeat..."

An invisible existence like cancer cells is spreading inside the fortress.

No, how could cancer cells be this efficient? This is clearly an electronic version of a neurotoxin!
But even though the fortress was gradually becoming disabled, the central control system was not completely disabled and was still diligently broadcasting to the entire fortress.

"All main access hatches have been closed. All areas have been isolated. Civilian areas D11 to 48 lack sufficient power suits, requesting support."

"The energy shield from Area A to Area C of the fortress is shut down. Please confirm whether it is normal. Repair team, please prepare according to the "12th Edition Space City Maintenance Regulations and Ordinances"!"

"The fortress weapon system is about to lock. Please ask the command to confirm whether it is normal."

"Commander Admiral Nert Kejelu confirmed."

I didn't confirm it! Admiral Kaijielu noticed everyone's gazes, and his face, which had already shown a dead look, suddenly flushed and he let out a silent roar.

"Deputy Commander..."

"chief of staff……"

"Confirmed by Karaman Aymon, Director of Shipping Affairs."

Director Ai Meng is so pitiful! He is so outstanding and so young, and is obviously an elite young bureaucrat with a bright future. He has the potential to become a pillar of the empire, but he has been implicated by us incompetent soldiers!

He is a civil servant after all, so I hope he can survive.

As a noble general who was very particular about respectability, Admiral Kaijielu was filled with guilt.

As a supreme commander who had been captured, his heart sank gradually and he felt as if he was being tortured by a blunt knife.

However, in the following period of time, the above content, as well as the form of global broadcasting, continued to echo in every hatch and passage of Fortress No. 1.

Ten minutes after the Slen Summer entered Fortress No. 1, the Gate of Glory and even the largest military stronghold in the entire Tailai Sector had already become an undefended space station. Compared to it, the autonomous trading cities located in the "high seas" trading star systems were all considered impregnable.

Of course, even at this point, it does not mean that the Gate of Glory has really been lost.

In fact, there are still hundreds of heavily guarded space stations in this galaxy, including two secondary fortresses, as well as a considerable fleet and garrison.

In addition, on the waterway from the Gate of Glory to Schlumberg and Ironclad, there are still three dreadnoughts and at least ten battlecruisers roaming around.

This important star gate is still firmly controlled by the Galactic Empire's heavy troops.

Not to mention the rest of the fleet, reinforcements from other sources within the galaxy will also arrive quickly.

But what does this have to do with him, the derelict leader?

Admiral Kaijielu flashed a sad smile on his face, and suddenly said, "Ms. Fina Li, please let me know. Since I am your fan, can you do me a favor?"

A labor-protection officer born into a noble family would be my fan. Do you think I would believe it? Feifei looked at him and smiled the same business smile she had at the Yagomi Awards: "You said?"

"Can you kill me? If it gets out, I can say I died in battle, that's more respectable." "Look at what you said. We are soldiers of the Commonwealth and the Pioneer Party. How can we kill prisoners of war? Besides, I've said it before, your fate is still decided by my superiors. How can I let personal interests override public ones?"

Before she finished her words, the fortress's broadcasting sound was heard again.

"Enemy fighters are attacking. Enemy fighters are attacking. Enemy fighters have entered the range of the third-level close-in defense guns. All defense departments are on standby immediately and prepare for air defense."

It seemed to have forgotten that it had reminded the entire fortress that all weapons were locked just three minutes ago.

Feifei couldn't stop laughing. Gongsun Qing, who was holding the sword over there, even laughed out loud.

As for Admiral Kaijielu, his attention was once again attracted by a scene on the screen that overturned his common sense.

At first, there were only sparse starlight and the vague outlines of the Imperial patrol warships waiting nearby in the dark background of the universe. However, a moment later, the image of the nearby space that the sensor could capture seemed to be distorted by some invisible force.

He is coming!
There was no flash of warp, no flicker of lights, no vibration of gravity, not even a trace of energy fluctuation. The battleship seemed to have condensed out of thin air, its outline changed from blurry to clear, like a ghost or evil spirit suddenly returning to the world from an unknown dimension.

It had a slender yet square hull, with a cool and stagnant halo flowing over it, and at first glance it looked like a war hammer floating in space. Only the gun ports that suddenly opened at the bow were flashing a sharp red light, like the eyes of a devil, staring coldly at the fortress.

Admiral Kaijielu wanted to say something, but his throat was so dry that he couldn't say anything.

Of course, there were also Imperial officers who murmured, "Alliance, the Alliance's national-level Titans!"

Do you believe this thing is a Titan ship of the Alliance, or do you believe that I am the Imperial Marshal? Most of the Imperial officers who witnessed this scene couldn't help but think so.

In fact, the very existence of this battleship challenges the common sense of the Empire - there is no heat source, no radiation, and even the gravitational field is almost perfectly hidden.

Even though it was silently floating just a stone's throw away from Fortress No. 1, it still lacked a sense of reality.

If the Alliance's Titan ships had this technology, they would have already fought their way in and out of the Sky Realm. Do you think those Nephi profiteers are really vegetarians? How did they get so many allied countries? How did they even surpass the Empire in terms of territory and population?

However, although the fortress's weapon system was locked, the sensor was not! Shouldn't it have given a warning long ago?

"Enemy fighter planes have entered the gravity capture range. I repeat, enemy fighter planes have entered the gravity capture range. Gravity tractors can be launched. Please prepare for air defense."

...Okay, it's not like there's no clue at all. But what the hell is this fighter?

However, if it was in the past, if the weapons were not locked, if all the officers and soldiers were on high alert at their posts, hundreds of turbolasers and rapid-fire ion cannons would have fired on this uninvited guest without hesitation, right? Even if the gravity sensor could not sense it, the gunners could still aim and shoot with their naked eyes, right?
However, now they can't do anything.

"But, the Ghost appears here, who is chasing the Feicheren fleet?"

"Where is the Xiuwei Fleet? Didn't they say that the Xiuwei Fleet has already engaged the enemy ships?"

"We just detected the enemy's gravity signal, but we didn't open fire at all!"

The above conversation was soon interrupted by what happened next.

No matter if they were captured or trapped in the cabins, the imperial officers and soldiers could only watch this ghost ship as it leisurely opened the gun ports on the side and fired at the two Clearly-class cruisers.

The two Imperial heavy cruisers were originally bodyguards to "escort" the Summer into the port. After completing their work, they had been on standby outside the port area of ​​the fortress, but they never expected to encounter such a sudden close-range bombardment.

Facts have proven that even a so-called perfect heavy cruiser like the Clearlight class cannot resist longer than a small boat when faced with close-range bombardment from a battleship.

Just half a minute later, the heavy cruiser's power was completely cut off, and the broken hull was immediately captured by the mass of Fortress No. 1 itself, smashing into the armored wall of the fortress like a meteorite made of steel wreckage.

The explosion turned into a moving shock wave on the outer wall of Fortress No. 1. This shock was actually nothing to the mass of Fortress No. 1, and the imperial officers and soldiers inside the fortress did not feel any physical shock. However, a psychological earthquake had already occurred.

They suddenly realized that at this time, this ghost ship was the closest warship to the fortress, closer than all the imperial warships.

They saw that under the flowing firelight, the hatch of the ghost ship had been opened. Fully armed Earth Marines slid out like shadows, wearing gliding boards on their backs, and floated towards the fortress that was just a stone's throw away.

Their armor was equally pitch black, and they made no sound when they moved, like a group of messengers from the abyss.

Indeed, the main gates of the fortress's ports were still tightly closed, but similarly, its shields and close-in defense guns were all down. Then, every gap in the armored wall would become a passage for these earthlings to enter.

"Ghost? Haha, what kind of ghost is that? It's clearly a demon controlled by a dragon." The admiral stared at the screen dully and said hesitantly. His spirit seemed to have been severely damaged, and his eyes began to blur.

He suddenly turned his head, ignoring the small robot standing on his shoulder, and rushed towards the mecha standing on his side as if he had suddenly gone mad - that was the body of Viscount Lusti, still wrapped in the emblem machine.

The general was only two or three meters away from the still-standing emblem machine, but both Feifei and Gongsun Qing had plenty of time to stop him. However, they did not move, but just watched the imperial general throw his head on the solid skirt armor of the emblem machine.

His flesh and blood flew everywhere, and even the shape of his skull was slightly deformed. His body shrank to the ground like a puddle of mud, twitching and falling silent.

“So, he was frightened to death by Yu Lian… Commander Yu?” Gongsun Qing sighed, “It turns out that the ancient stories are right. People can really kill themselves!”

Feifei glanced at her friend unhappily and said quietly, "After all, they are high-ranking generals of the empire who come from traditional noble families. They will choose glory in desperate situations to preserve their own honor and the dignity of their family."

"Oh, can they?" Gongsun Qing asked.

"Well, since ancient times, the only hardship is death. But there is always one person out of ten who will not hesitate to die. We don't actually need to doubt the overall quality of the Tirilo nobles, just like we don't have to doubt their reactionary nature at all."

You can say the empire is bad, but you can't say it's bad. Gongsun Qing thought this made sense. However, the empire, which was so bad and so powerful, always suffered in front of that person.

"He is the real nemesis of the reaction." Gongsun Qing said solemnly, with obvious respect on his face: "So, after he came, all the resistance organizations inside and outside the Gate of Glory became active and really had a backbone."

"Oh, the backbone?" Feifei's smile was quite playful.

The fortress radio was still tirelessly broadcasting the latest reports, including the news that the troops going to support the civilian area had lost contact.

What a hardworking artificial idiot!
As for the most distinguished captive present, the Princess Elect, who was young but already had the demeanor of a Tirilo aristocratic elite, had already burst into tears, crying very sadly.

It was only at this time that she began to behave like a young girl of her real age.
