Him and their stars.

Chapter 589 Everyone is very energetic

The surprise attack fleet of the Knights will act together with the "sunk" fleet.When the fleet is about to approach the low-earth orbit of Xerna, it will directly launch a surprise attack.

The four Clear Sky-class cruisers must destroy the orbital defense system above the planet within three minutes, and then carry out orbital bombing of the intended target, the position near Crystal City.

Of course, this kind of orbital bombing must not be saturated, otherwise the strategic materials in the warehouses on the outskirts of the city would also be burned, and the surprise attack would lose its meaning.

The knights will sit directly on the heraldry machine and make an orbital drop under the cover of artillery fire.Their planned landing location will be in the hilly area less than [-] meters south of the warehouse area.There are dense rocks and low mountains here, which can play a certain role of cover, and at the same time, it will never affect the speed of everyone's attack.

After all, they are astral knights, and all of them possess unique skills.Coupled with the latest crimson emblem machine, the addition of combat power is by no means as simple as one plus one greater than two.

This is the battle plan that Shameen, Soback, and the rest of the knights discussed and formulated.In all honesty, it's a bit careless.However, for psykers, too detailed battle plans sometimes become their limitations, so it is better to let them play freely.

Shameen's order was conveyed truthfully, and the knights nodded one after another. Just as they were about to leave for the hangar, Colonel Sobaek added: "Since the launch of the attack time, our stay on Sarna Star The time must not exceed twenty-four hours. Otherwise, the Red Fleet nearby will definitely swarm in."

"Have you all heard it? Then you should know that this is bound to be a tough battle, and we have no way out! Please show your due awareness!" The viscount made a final confession to the robes of the Knights , and said to Major General Bai Ya: "Admiral, please paint our ships too."

"Painting?" Major General Bai Ya was slightly taken aback.

Shameen shrugged and smiled: "I'm talking about the sunk mark. Now that you're ready to use suspicious soldiers, of course you have to use them to the extreme."

The officers on the bridge, as well as the knights who hadn't had time to leave, could not help but stop, feeling inexplicably shamed.However, they also knew that in order to win, this was a last resort.They couldn't object, and their hearts were filled with indignation and fighting spirit.

Of course, some people may feel that it is very stimulating, and a certain kind of xp that is not humane can be fully satisfied, but this is not important.

The equipment of the fleet is also very advanced.While everyone was still "queuing" at the gravity well, an automatic maintenance robot that looked like a steel octopus climbed out of the hull, and painted a sign representing "sunk" on the silvery white smooth side. cross.

Everyone felt that they were defiled and watched all this with gritted teeth.As a result, the morale of more than [-] knights and more than [-] elite stormtroopers in the fleet suddenly exploded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is a typical military spirit available, and the next step is to use it to break through the formation first.

When it was finally the turn of everyone's fleet to start the jump, the knights had even completed the preparation of the emblem machine, and even sat in the cockpit, closed their eyes and rested their minds, calmly adjusting their breath.

As a newcomer to the Star Knights, Colonel Yeager Soback was the first time to act with so many extraordinary people, and it was even the first time to see so many heraldic machines in the same frame.Although he has a lot of actual combat experience, it is indeed the first time for this type of actual combat, so he is inevitably a little nervous.

Just when he was about to rush to familiarize himself with the cannons on the emblem machine, the voice of Viscount Shameen sounded through the communicator: "After landing, I will lead the regiment to charge first. If I am 'killed', you must To take over command."

For a moment, Sobaek felt as if he had heard an auditory hallucination, and it took him a long time to realize that the other party cut in through a private communication channel.Even so, he subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Well, I, you really know how to joke. Below you are just a colonel, the second ring. Below you, there are Baron Hayero, Sir Oswell, and Sir Ifala... ..."

Colonel Sobaek reported the names of seven or eight people in a row.All of them have three rings, all of them have the rank of brigadier general or colonel, and they all serve as the captains of a small team of nine or twelve.They are the elite backbone of the Knights and the first-level command force of the extraordinary legion of the Empire Megatron Universe.The command authority of each of them is above the newcomer Sobaike.

These people are the foundation of the Star Knights.

"You are indeed a newcomer. So you are also acting as an aide during this time. However, the situation just now has proved your officer's forward-looking and tactical sense. All you need now is prestige. If I die in battle, you Just contact Baron Heyero directly. Don't worry, I will fully consider all your opinions."

Baron Hiero is the oldest knight on the ship, and he will be forty years old in a year. He is a brigadier general who is mature, steady, hardworking, and not too ambitious.Because of his age, enthusiasm and popularity, he still has a high prestige among these young transcendents, second only to Shameen, and he is also the second commander of this group of knights.

What Shameen meant was very simple. If he "died in battle", the mature and prudent Baron Hiero would become the commander in name, but Sobaek would become the commander of the century, giving full play to his mobility.

Sobaek was very moved by the other party's "kindness to know you", but the more so, the more guilty he felt.

However, the more than [-] soldiers in the fleet naturally had no time to pay attention to his little thoughts at this time.The ten warships have completed the preparations before the jump, and the huge steel figure has a dislocation of light and shadow, as if it was stretched in an instant, and then disappeared into the vast galaxy.

And almost at the same time, on the defensive position outside Crystal City, Earl Seriola, the Knight Commander of the Astral Knights, accompanied by Brigadier General Kebede, came to the hill outside the city and checked. Artillery positions against (space).

It stands to reason that Brigadier General Kebede's unit is a standard reinforced garrison division, and it is obviously another step to strengthen the carrying equipment.He didn't know that there were twelve Centurion 4 walking armors gathered there. This is a behemoth weighing nearly 300 tons. It is completely a mobile armored fortress. In addition to suppressing enemies on the ground, it can also be used for planetary air defense.

Now, the Brigadier General has placed the twelve Centurion 4s on the hills.In addition, he also gathered more than [-] various types of heavy artillery and missile racks from various places, all of which can blast into low-earth orbit, and arranged a very layered artillery position.

The brigadier general did more than that.You know, although Crystal City is a bit in decline now, it is also an important place rich in strategic resources in history, and it is close to the border. There is a shield generator in the city, which can resist orbital bombing to a certain extent.

This shield generator produced a hundred years ago can still be used after a little debugging.Brigadier General Kebede was immediately full of pride in the military strength of the empire, and then without hesitation, he removed all the city shield generators and installed them directly on the artillery positions.

The citizens of Crystal City didn't think there was any problem, but found it quite interesting.Under such circumstances without disturbing the residents, the engineering level of dismantling a planetary shield generator as big as a TV tower, and then installing it on the outskirts of the city [-] kilometers away within [-] hours is definitely considered a level of engineering. Above is a visual spectacle.The townspeople were very excited when they saw it, and they were full of pride in the engineering capabilities of the Imperial Army. Some even went to the scene to see the western scenery and cheered for them.

However, the shield of Crystal City should not be removed, but the original city's anti-aircraft firepower is still there.General Werewolf sent someone to take over their central control. After checking, it was found that [-]% of the weapons were usable.This made him overjoyed and filled with pride once again to be an Imperial soldier.

All in all, in this way, the newly built positions on the outskirts of the city, the original firepower in the city, and the three defensive satellites in outer space can form an air defense situation.

Brigadier General Kebede is still very confident in his defense.

Seriola was also very satisfied.Although he can't be regarded as a famous general, he has also systematically studied various military drills, and he really can't find any faults.

"Just now I heard that a high-speed special ship has entered low-earth orbit, is there any problem?" the count asked.

During this period of time, Brigadier General Kebede has blocked the entire planet for reasons of military management, and even the daily entry and exit of civilian ships need to undergo three more stringent inspections.

Although the shipping has been affected to a certain extent, the local resentment in Sarna is not too great.Still the same sentence, seeing so many armies constructing large-scale construction projects in this remote star area of ​​their own, the citizens of the empire, who are already very military, have a sense of participation in a grand festival.

Just now, another high-speed ship appeared in the low-earth orbit of the Sarna star with a maneuverability far exceeding that of ordinary civilian cargo ships. It was about to land, but it was fired by the outer space satellite that Brigadier General Kebede took over. It was forced to stop, and several passenger ships queuing up for inspection were frightened.

Earl Seriola was very curious about the follow-up of this matter.

"It has been found out. It is the investigation ship of the Grand Tribunal. The passenger on board is the senior investigating judge, Xunfeng."

The first knight commander frowned slightly.Xunfeng is the Chief Investigating Judge of the Grand Tribunal, equivalent to being the first person in the empire responsible for psychic crimes and investigations.Although the two have different systems, they have dealt with each other several times.

However, the Earl really didn't expect that he would hear his name here.

"Why is he here?"

"He said he was passing by to investigate the case. It is impossible to tell me the specifics." Brigadier General Kebede shrugged: "I asked him to go honestly and line up for investigation."

Seriola glanced at the other party, and gave the werewolf brigadier another three points.Although the imperial army and the Grand Inquisition are not a system, it is difficult for a high-ranking mortal officer to be so tough in front of a psyker who has been famous for a long time.

"and then?"

"Although Judge Xunfeng was a bit reckless when he drove the boat, his attitude was still very correct. He showed your passport from Tianyu, agreed to scan the boat, and provided everyone's identity information. Except for him , there are only four crew members, and I have allowed them to descend."

This is indeed the style of Judge Xunfeng.Apart from his fondness for sailing, his attitude towards dealing with others has always been very upright and humble, and he is a respectable person worthy of admiration.Count Seriola nodded inwardly.Although he was very curious about the reason why the chief judge came to Sarna, but now is not the time to gossip.

When the battle is over, if he hasn't left yet, treat him to a meal.

Seriola thought, then quickly refocused on the ground.He calculated carefully, then pointed to an ion cannon two hundred meters away, and said, "Move that cannon forward five meters."

The officers present looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.Brigadier General Kebede pressed his hand on his chest, feeling very ominous.

"Don't get me wrong, gentlemen." The knight commander quickly explained: "I have no intention of interfering with the formation of your troops. You are experts in the construction of fire positions. It's just that the artillery position happens to be a ley point, and we A psionic array needs to be set up there. In this way, it will be easier for most soldiers to concentrate."

General Kebede was slightly taken aback, and then realized that this should be the halo ability used by the knights in battle, and immediately became excited.Although he is the general of the elite Panzergrenadier system, he has not yet enjoyed the aura buff of the Star Knight, so he is naturally full of expectations.

"What do we need to do?" Brigadier General Kebede asked hastily.

"I still have to choose twelve locations for the formation. If there is a conflict with your officer's artillery position, then..."

"No, everything is based on your request. For the cannon, move a few meters forward and back a few meters. Although it cannot be said that it has no effect at all, there is always a solution." General Werewolf said here, half-jokingly: "Fortunately, you are only talking about anti-aircraft guns. If you talk about machine guns, the officer will also have a headache."

"You guys are facing the enemy's defensive arrangement head-on, so I can't comment on it at will." Earl Seriola pondered for a moment, and said: "In this battle, I will try my best to provide you guys with assistance and side support, but I will not Is it okay to shoot directly?"

Brigadier General Kebede was slightly stunned, and his fighting spirit became more and more obvious: "Thank you for your understanding! The soldiers of the 12th Panzergrenadier Division will never let you down!"
