Him and their stars.

Chapter 588 Road Rage in the Cosmic Age
This is a squadron consisting of a heavy Griffin-class armored aircraft carrier, four Clear Sky-class cruisers, and five Aegis-class light cruisers.If it is used for combat readiness patrols and route security, this force is absolutely surplus.But if it is used in fleet decisive battles and fortress assaults, it seems a little fragile.

The Red Crown B galaxy where the fleet decisive battle is located is only 3 jumps away from their current location, only more than 100 light-years away.With the speed of this high-speed fleet, if they really drive at full speed, maybe it is really possible to reach the battlefield before the dust settles.

So, at the height of the battle, there was a dispute among the young knights in the leadership of the fleet.Discuss whether to participate in the battlefield.

Their ships are all so-called fast warships, and although they are very mobile, they are all thin-skinned and stuffed. If they really messed up the battle line of the capital ships fighting, it would be purely an act of death.

However, not participating in the artillery battle on the front line does not mean that you cannot participate in the war.All the knights present are star knights. At worst, they can equip the emblem machine with space flight accessories. If they are more particular, they can even ride a dragon and jump directly at the enemy's flagship.

Relying on brute force to attack the enemy's command layer, this is also the traditional art of the Star Knights.Although the tactics are simple, they are really effective.

However, after a period of debate, the knights were finally persuaded by Colonel Sobaek and chose to stand still and wait for the opportunity.

Then, the fleet decisive battle that took place in the Red Crown B galaxy ended in a tactical tie between the two sides.

The red and blue sides lost a total of 4 dreadnoughts, 12 battle cruisers and 5 heavy-duty aircraft carriers, and the remaining ships of various types exceeded more than [-] ships.

Of course, these warships were declared "sunk" by the director's department, and they were removed from the order of command of both sides on the spot.They will leave the battlefield and go to the surrounding docks for repairs.All kinds of small and medium-sized ships are easy to talk about, but dreadnoughts and battle cruisers are big guys with millions of tons at every turn. Except for the capital of the star region, Luyuan Star, only the Lion's Den Fortress has a dock of this size.

At this time, the "sunken fleet" consisting of a Dreadnought, three battlecruisers, two aircraft carriers, and more than [-] warships of various types happened to pass by the Dragon Tooth D galaxy.

From the outside, these warships are of course intact, but the outer shell of each ship is painted with a big fork by colorful outer space paint, as if it was directly splashed with a bucket of paint paste on the face.

This is also the traditional art of the empire.All warships that were "sunk" during the exercise will be smeared with such a "shame graffiti", and it will take at least two or three months to hang up before being allowed to wash off.

It is said that this is an incentive mechanism for soldiers to learn to be ashamed and brave, and it has been implemented for more than two thousand years. Although there have been examples of generals who could not bear the humiliation and died in shame, the overall effect is said to be the same. Very good.

Looking at the multicolored crosses on those elegant imperial warships, the knights felt as if they saw a group of beautiful and innocent young ladies dragged through the streets wearing shame belts, but they didn't feel righteous indignation. Join them too.

"Although our side has achieved certain tactical victories, if this kind of victory happens a few times, we will no longer have a fleet to use." A knight said loudly.

"We have to launch it in advance to reduce the pressure on the marshal." Another knight said.

"Yes, even if this destroys our original plan." The third knight said: "But the enemy does not know our strength. As long as we can lure a part of the enemy fleet from the front line, we can still find a chance to surprise the lion's den of."

"It's a big deal not to go to Sarna, go somewhere else." Another knight said, and then looked at Viscount Shameen who was sitting on the main seat: "Your Excellency, you need to make a decision."

Shameen didn't answer, but looked at Soback who was about to hide himself in the crowd like a dog without saying a word: "Yager, what do you think?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Sobaek who was hiding in the last row hoping to become invisible, and the latter could only mmp in his heart.

What people are asking is your opinion, so what does it matter to me?
Colonel Sobaek stood up expressionlessly, but his heart was suffering like a volcanic eruption, but at this moment, his sight had already cast on the "sunken fleet" in the distance, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He gritted his teeth and told everyone, "We can join this fleet."

Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, he said again: "Everyone has decided to seize the strategic resources of the Sarna galaxy, but before the battle, we must know that the enemy is ahead of time. You know, your Excellency the deputy head, Also, Admiral Farrell is a famous general with both wisdom and courage, and will not give us too obvious loopholes. At least, they will definitely strengthen the defense of Xarna Star, and activate backup monitoring equipment and orbital defense firepower. But , if we are mixed in with these sunken ship fleets and suddenly airborne when crossing the orbit of the Sarna star, we must be able to catch them by surprise."

The knights present felt that this was indeed a direction.

"...Did you figure it out, there must be sunken ships passing by here, so we are allowed to stand by here?" Fleet Commander Bai Ya rarely looked at Colonel Sobaek thoughtfully, Cheeky and appreciative: "Oh! What a guy!"

The young knights were immediately in awe, and even Viscount Shameen patted Sobaek on the shoulder in a friendly manner, with a look of "I am honored".

After all, Colonel Sobaek had been recruited by him himself.The better the former performs, of course, the more it proves Shameen's vision of seeing people.

Of course, the Colonel himself did his best not to lose control of his expression.

He reckoned that if he said that it was all a coincidence, and he simply wanted to find a point halfway between the battlefield and the Sarna route, he might be killed.

Sobaek's original plan was to let everyone go on first. When the exercise developed to the later stage, the red and blue sides were so jealous that they had to mobilize the defenders from the rear to reinforce the front.At that time, there will be more loopholes that I can exploit.

But even the gods of Xingjian Pavilion never imagined that the decisive battle of the fleet would break out so soon?

"That is to say, you thought from the beginning that the fleet decisive battle would break out during this period?" Shameen once again showed a thoughtful expression.

How did you come to this point?Soback was speechless, and just about to make a few excuses, he saw the knights next to him showing astonishment and admiration.

"...This, this, I admit that I am gambling. Fortunately, fate has favored us." As soon as these words came out, Yeager Soback's heart was filled with tears.He felt that his soul broke through the lower limit of moral integrity, and took a big step towards the abyss of morality.

However, this is not a very important matter.

Colonel Sobaek was only uneasy for three seconds, and then said to Shameen: "Let's contact the fleet over there first."

If these "sunk" fleets are willing to cooperate with them, the plan will be more than half successful.

Carrying 287 star knights and their equipment, as well as a fleet of more than [-] toolmen, sailed out from behind the hidden gas giant planet, and sent a communication request to the "Silent Fleet" more than [-] million kilometers away.

This is a necessary move to avoid misunderstandings.You must know that when the fleet on the opposite side was "sunk", it had already resumed its daily security stage.And the Imperial Space Fleet has always maintained the purpose of "destroying the enemy when it sees it".With so many warships on our side rushing past, if we don't send the active and friendly communication registration status in advance, the other party may really hit us with a full-on artillery fire.

Besides, this fleet has just been "sunk" after all, and the officers and soldiers on board, it is conceivable that the mental structure will not be too stable, and what should be done still needs to be done.

Fortunately, their unsolicited and friendly communication was responded to quickly.Soon there appeared on the holographic projection a Lytalin in the uniform of an Imperial lieutenant general.He was a little older, with a stern lip, his eyes had no warmth, the down on his cheeks was dull, and even his argali-like horns drooped on his shoulders, making him look lifeless.

Obviously, the Leitalin general was in a very bad mood at this time.

Everyone quickly recognized that this was Lieutenant General O'Baran, the Admiral of the Seventh Fleet of the Imperial Defense Forces. He belonged to the red side during this exercise and was also the top general "killed" at present.

Well, whoever makes a sofa on this list will not be happy.

"It's not our side..." Sobaek was a little worried.

Shameen has already got up and saluted the other party: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, our department is a special attack fleet of the blue side that belongs to the Glory Mission military exercise. Next is the Knight of the Star Boundary Knights, Rear Admiral Ymir of the Empire... ..."

"I know you, Viscount Chameen." Lieutenant General Obalan interrupted the other party listlessly: "We have been sunk, and you are still alive. What is the purpose of the living talking to the dead?"

Lieutenant General Obalan was not at all prepared to save face for the hopeful star of the Astral Knights, and his attitude was as blunt as a born mindless Mysandar troll. He was really hit hard.

The knights present were a little dissatisfied.Most of them are noble children who were born wrapped in velvet blankets. They really don't have much social experience, and this is the first time they have seen such an arrogant non-human being.If it weren't for the sense of discipline and honor of being soldiers that kept them normally quiet, I'm afraid someone would be ready to scold them now.

"We should take the initiative to say hello to you." Shameen said with a smile.

Indeed, the highest rank on their side is Viscount Shameen, and the commander of the fleet, Rear Admiral Bai Ya, while the opponent is Lieutenant General.According to the etiquette rules of the Imperial Navy, when fleets performing different missions meet in the universe, the party with a lower rank should send a friendly message first, greet each other, and even light a salute and fire a salute if necessary.

In addition, if time permits, the two sides can even explain their mission goals to each other to see if they can fight and admire.Unless it is a confidential task representing a higher level of will.

Of course, the surprise attack on Star Sarna was not a high-level secret, and Shameen and the others might still need the other party's help, so they told the other party straight to the point.

Lieutenant General O'Balan was a little surprised, but he didn't expect the other party to be so frank with himself as an "enemy general". He pondered for a while: "We are indeed going to pass through Sarna and go to Lion's Den Fortress. As for you... I can No matter what you are going to do, we are the first to come anyway, so you have to line up."

The stars in the Sarna galaxy are stable mature stars, but the Longya D galaxy you are in now is just a young star that has not yet "developed" and has a limited mass. Of course, the carrying scale of the gravity well is also limited.

According to the calculations of the central shipping computer, with so many ships, it would take four trips to complete all the jumps.Since the knights came later, of course they had to be in the last batch. This is the so-called queuing.

The knights were overjoyed immediately, and the little dissatisfaction they had just disappeared immediately.Although it is necessary to "queue", since it does not prevent everyone from walking together, it has already helped a lot.

"Thank you very much!" Shameen said.

"Why should you thank us? We are already dead, what can you do, can I stop it?" Lieutenant General Alturan shrugged, and added: "Remember, you are not allowed to jump in line!"

"Jump in line?"

Shameen was just asking casually, but he didn't expect that the lieutenant general on the opposite side suddenly seemed excited, and said in a rambling manner: "Yes! Just now when we were preparing for the jump, a ship was driving a sub-light speed engine. , directly plunged into the gravity well. I was so anxious, I didn’t know if I was going to reincarnate..."

"That's the investigation ship of the Tribunal." A human major general next to him reminded: "We have captured the signal of his remaining ship."

"I know! I only scolded them because I knew they belonged to the Grand Tribunal! What happened to the Tribunal? Can the ship of the Tribunal pass directly through the center of the fleet at sub-light speed? What should I do if I hit it? In front of him, I can still scold him! Ah no, I must kill him for violating the Shipping Safety Law!"

Shameen now knows why Lieutenant General Obalan's reaction is so subtle, isn't it typical road rage?

Of course, the transition channel composed of gravity wells is like a highway in the universe.Then the ship that arrived later suddenly passed the queued fleet at sub-light speed and seized the jump passage, which was almost the same as snaking in the morning and evening peak traffic at a speed of more than 80 per hour.

No, the nature may be much worse than that.After all, once a large ship with sub-light speed collides without protection, the number of dead people will definitely be counted in tens of thousands.

All in all, it's only natural to have road rage.

Viscount Shameen was a little puzzled.

He knew that the so-called investigation ship was a special car specially prepared by the Grand Tribunal for the investigating judges, and it also enjoyed the priority of passage in the waterway.

Of course, if it weren't for those senior judges who have worked on the investigation front for decades, have a strong background, outstanding abilities, and are fearless in everything, they would not dare to rob the army's channel.

So, who will it be?
Also, why did the senior judges come here?Haven't heard of any major supernatural cases recently?
Could it be a follow-up to what happened in the imperial capital some time ago?

Of course, such doubts only stayed in Viscount Shameen's mind for less than half a minute.Also as an extraordinary power of the country directly under the emperor, the relationship between the Star Knights and the Inquisition is naturally far from smooth, but the stage where one side is active is the frontal battlefield, and the other is secret investigations and domestic suppression.Since there is no business conflict, there will be no fundamental conflict.Besides, Shameien is not a gossip person at all, so naturally he doesn't have much interest in the magistrate's movements.

He turned his head and told everyone: "Conduct all the emblem machines for the last pre-battle preparation! After entering the Sarna galaxy, we will directly airborne the Crystal City of Sarna star..."
