Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 339: Scoring twice (five in one)

At this time, Xiuen and Hegas looked at Su Ming who was standing still, and they suddenly felt uneasy.

"What is Su Ming going to do? Is he going to practice light speed folding and flashing?"

Hegaz swallowed hard and said.

"Looking at this posture, it seems so."

Xiu En replied with a tense look on his face.

"This"

When Hegarth heard Xiuen's answer, he was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

Inside the Killer's cab.

Su Ming took a deep breath and his eyes became stern!
Swish!
The NCOY super neural amplification system was instantly activated, bursting out with dazzling purple light.

The killer's eyes suddenly lit up red, and the nuclear fission power device output high power.

Swish!
The entire Killer disappeared in an instant like a shadow.

"My God!"

"Disappeared!"

When everyone at the scene saw this scene, they were completely blown away and shouted in surprise!

The next second, the killer appeared hundreds of meters away.

The entire mecha stepped on the ground and slid more than ten meters before it came to a dangerous stop and almost fell down.

Xiu En was completely shocked when he saw this scene, and even lost his voice.

"Light-speed folding flash!"

"No way? Only top masters have this ability. How come he can use it when he is controlling a fourth-generation mecha for the first time?"

Hegaz suddenly became dazed and began to doubt his life.

Lightspeed flash is a signature ability that all four generations of mecha pilots need to master.

Its principle is to use powerful mental guidance, combined with a power engine, to burst out extreme kinetic energy in a short period of time to achieve ultra-high-speed movement.

This iconic ability is extremely difficult to master.

Because once the nerves cannot match its speed, huge misalignment and deviation will occur.

At that time, you may collide with the enemy or obstacles, and this ability consumes a lot of mental energy.

"I don't know either, it's incredible!"

Xiu En took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart and said.

At this time, Su Ming controlled the Killer Mecha and lowered his head, looking at the ground under his feet, his brows slightly furrowed.

He was somewhat dissatisfied with his first Light Speed ​​Fold Flash. Although he performed it, there was a big deviation. Moreover, when performing it, the movements were not coherent, and he almost made a fool of himself in the end.

Thinking of this, Su Ming controlled the mecha to fly up, took a deep breath, turned on the power again, and used the speed of light to flash and disappear on the spot.

The next second, the Killer Mecha appeared in mid-air, then fell down and stomped heavily on the ground.

Su Ming controlled the mecha and turned his head to look below, his expression becoming more solemn.

He was even more dissatisfied with the second light-speed refraction and flash, as the deviation was even greater.

It's obviously easy to control the light speed flash on the ground, but it's even more difficult to use it in mid-air.

To put it bluntly, we know the starting point but we don’t know the destination.

Su Ming carefully recalled the operations just now. Everything was done according to the information Mia left him. Normally, there should be no problem.

At this time, Hegas saw Su Ming's mecha standing still and asked Xiu En in confusion.

"What happened to Su Ming?"

"I do not know either."

Xiuen shook his head and replied.

At this time, Su Ming controlled the Killer again, and disappeared from the spot with a light-speed flash, and then appeared on the ground in the distance. The entire mecha slid out another ten meters.

In the cab, Su Ming frowned. He used the light speed flash three times, and the results were almost the same each time. There was no improvement at all.

It was obvious that something went wrong in some part of his operation. Thinking of this, Su Ming stopped practicing and prepared to adjust his mentality and find the problem first, so he controlled the Killer to walk to the platform.

click!
The cockpit slowly opened.

Su Ming jumped down from above, feeling somewhat tired.

Xiu En and the others immediately came forward and spoke to Su Ming.

"Congratulations, I didn't expect you to be able to learn the lightspeed folding and flashing so quickly."

"There's nothing to congratulate, the deviation is too big, and the training is not good enough!"

Su Ming shook his head and replied with a sigh.

"That's too much! Normally, it takes top experts three months at the fastest to get familiar with the fourth-generation mecha, and more than a year at the slowest! As for the light-speed flash, as far as I know, the fastest record in the Federation also takes a year! Some people may never learn it in their entire lives. You performed it the first time, and you are still acting like a human being! "

Hegaz complained unhappily.

"Ah? Is that so?"

Su Ming replied with some surprise.

"Hegas is right. You used the light speed flash the first time you controlled the mecha. Even though your control was not very good, you still learned it! As long as you practice diligently, it will be a matter of time before you master it thoroughly."

Xiuen replied in agreement.

"Yeah! I'm really curious, how did you do it? I used to be super confident in my skills and talents, but now compared to you, I seem disabled."

Hegas is now somewhat doubtful about his life.

"Ahem, that's an exaggeration."

Su Ming replied awkwardly.

"Okay, stop being so modest. The more modest you are, the more upset I will feel!"

Hegas quickly interrupted Su Ming.

"Hegarth is right."

Xiu En also said with a wry smile.

"haha, okay!"

After hearing what they said, Su Ming couldn't help but laugh.
-
City of Stars, Federal Government Administration Building, Dawn Hall 2.

At this time, the entire hall was almost full.

On the podium, Jakkers spoke to everyone in a deep voice.

"Regarding your proposal, I have discussed it with Vice President Alicia. We can reduce taxes this year. As for subsidies, the federal finances are not very good, so Starlight City and Rain City will jointly allocate 1200 billion federal coins."

When everyone heard that there was a subsidy of 1200 billion federal dollars, they all started talking.

"Mr. Vice Council President Jakkers, our District 13 suffered heavy losses from the invasion of the Chirami monsters a few years ago. The overall environment has been bad in the past two years, and we are in urgent need of subsidies. I think we should be given priority."

"It's your District 100 that's in trouble. My District is also in bad shape. You should at least allocate billion to us this time."

"You're so brave, asking for 100 billion right away, what do we get?"

For a moment, everyone in the conference room started arguing.

Jakkers and the other two watched them arguing quietly.

At this time, the door of the parliament hall was pushed open, and a young man in a second lieutenant's uniform hurried in.

The originally bustling parliament hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned their heads to look over.

"Emergency military report!"

The herald shouted anxiously.

"What happened?"

Jakkers asked with a frown on his face. Compared to Yun Rou, this messenger already had a good or bad thing written on his face.

"The latest military situation: The Kingdom of Apocalypse has stockpiled a large number of troops at the border!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

"How could this be?"

"No way, what does the Kingdom of Apocalypse want to do?"

Alicia's face suddenly changed, she stood up and spoke.

"Oh no, something is going to happen in Tidal Star Sea!"

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry?"

Farron said, smiling as he looked at Alicia.

“Faroen, how can I not be anxious? The Kingdom of Apocalypse has stationed troops at the border, not just to target the Tidal Star Sea.”

Alicia frowned and looked at Faron.

"I know, but you don't have to be so anxious. Hasn't the fight started yet?"

"Then I have to prepare in advance!"

"Prepare for what? Send troops out? That won't do! Who said that the safety of the Federation's homeland is the most important? I think that makes sense!"

Faron said sarcastically.

"Faroen, you don't have to be so sarcastic. At least I won't be like you, where the troops were moved out and surrounded."

Alicia was also angered by Faron's words.

"That's hard to say. No one can predict the risks involved! Once your property is looted and people are slaughtered, can you still maintain your sanity?"

Farron asked back bluntly.

"Faroen!"

Alicia's expression suddenly turned cold.

When Xiao Lie and others saw Faluoen and Alicia arguing, they immediately fell silent.

Jakkers was also very troubled. Things were already bad enough, and now the two of them were arguing with each other, so he tried to persuade them in a deep voice.

"Okay, what are you two arguing about? The most urgent thing now is not to have conflicts among yourselves, but to find a way to solve the problem."

"That's easy to say, how do you solve it?"

Farron replied disdainfully.

At this time, another messenger rushed in and began to report.

"Sir, there is news from the Dark Star Empire."

Farron's expression became serious and he immediately asked.

"Tell me quickly, what's going on? Has Os's army moved?"

"They didn't move, but the Dark Star Empire gathered six neutral countries, dispatched thousands of ships and tens of millions of troops to encircle the Thirteenth Legion!"

The herald reported quickly.

As soon as these words came out, Farron's face suddenly became very ugly.

Jakkers's heart suddenly rose, and he hurriedly asked the herald.

"Where is the Thirteenth Legion?"

"The Thirteenth Legion has evacuated the Slok Star Sea after seeing the dire situation."

The herald then reported.

When Jakkers heard this, he felt relieved but still sighed.

"Ugh!"

The entire conference room fell into silence again, and no one spoke for a long time.

At this time, Xiao Lie couldn't help but ask.

“That subsidy.”

Before she could finish her words, Alicia slammed the table and said angrily.

“No subsidies, nothing!”

After hearing this, Xiao Lie and the others looked at Jakkers with unhappy expressions.

Jakkers was also in a dilemma, as he and Alicia had paid for the money, but now that this happened, Alicia would definitely not want to pay for it again.

Moreover, the Federation will definitely bleed heavily again in order to deal with the Kingdom of Apocalypse, but he still spoke to everyone.

"Everyone, listen to me. You have seen the current situation. The Kingdom of Apocalypse is ready to make a move, and the trapped legion has not been rescued, so the subsidy is gone. However, tax cuts are still no problem. Everyone should overcome it, tighten their belts, and tide over the difficulties together!"

"Ok."

Xiao Lie and others didn't say much, at least the taxes could be reduced a little.
-
Inside the house in Star City.

Su Ming sat on a chair. He placed the bracelet on the table and projected the screen and operating interface.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the projected keyboard on the table, repeatedly reviewing the relevant information that Teacher Mia had left for him.

He was a little puzzled. Which link went wrong and why the deviation was so large?
At this time, Xiao Hui jumped onto the table out of boredom, put his head in front of the bracelet, and blocked the projection.

"Don't make trouble, this is for you to play with."

Su Ming took out a small ball from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Hui.

Xiao Hui happily jumped to the ground with the ball in his arms, and ran around the house kicking the ball.

Su Ming continued to browse the information.

These materials were left to him by Teacher Mia, so there must be no problem. He did not operate well, and he must have overlooked some details.

Soon time passed by little by little.

In the blink of an eye, it was late night.

Su Ming still didn't find the key reason.

At this time, Xiao Hui was playing with the ball alone and felt a little bored. So he jumped onto the table with the ball in his arms and started hitting the ball on the table, trying to attract Su Ming's attention and get him to play with him.

Boom!

Xiao Hui immediately showed off his ball skills, and the frequency of his hitting the ball became faster and faster.

For a moment, the projection on the table also vibrated slightly.

When Su Ming saw the slightly vibrating image, his expression was stunned for a moment, and then his thoughts suddenly became clear, and he spoke subconsciously.

"Resonance, no, it should be resonance!"

Su Ming immediately realized that his mental frequency must be consistent with that of the mecha, so that he could accurately achieve light-speed flash.

Thinking of this, Su Ming smiled and stood up from his chair.

When Xiao Hui saw Su Ming stand up, he happily picked up the ball and handed it to Su Ming, asking him to play with him.

Su Ming squatted down, touched Xiao Hui's head, and said with a smile.

"Have fun by yourself, I have something else to do."

Xiao Hui immediately lowered his head in disappointment. Su Ming saw its aggrieved look and suddenly smiled.

He stood up and walked to the refrigerator, picked up a bunch of grapes, washed them, and handed them to Xiao Hui.

Xiao Hui happily ran away holding the grapes.

Su Ming left home directly and headed towards training ground No. 3.

Not long after, Su Ming came to training ground No. 3 alone.

The entire training ground was silent, with no one training.

Su Ming raised his wristband and clicked it.

Click!

The ground slowly cracked open, and the metal platform carrying the Killer Mech slowly rose up.

Su Ming walked towards the killer with a determined look in his eyes.

Soon he entered the mecha and sat in the driving seat.

Then press the start button.

Noisy!
The killer's scarlet electronic eyes suddenly lit up.

Su Ming's eyes were fixed on the ground 300 meters ahead, drawing a dividing line. Then he concentrated his mind highly, and his eyes became stern!
The NCOY super neural amplification system is instantly activated, and the power device instantly outputs high power.

But he did not start it immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and slowly reduced the power, allowing the vibration frequency to reach a balance point, and then remembered this feeling.

After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Swish!
The entire Killer disappeared in an instant like a shadow.

The next second, the killer appeared three hundred meters away, with his feet squarely on the dividing line on the ground.

Su Ming controlled the mecha and lowered his head, looking at the dividing line on the ground, a bright smile appeared on his face. He really succeeded.

The next afternoon.

On training ground No. 3.

Su Ming stood in the stands, watching his subordinates training.

At this time, he discovered that since the announcement of the retreat, the mentality of his soldiers had also undergone a drastic change.

Some soldiers were very depressed and not very interested in training, while some soldiers were very happy.

The difference can be seen from this point.

Some soldiers were very brave and eager to rescue their trapped compatriots. Some soldiers didn't want to fight anymore and were happy to be able to go home.

Of course, there is no right or wrong in this regard.

Su Ming shook his head slightly and turned to look at Hegas.

As a result, he found that Hegas was not there, and his soldiers were training very passively and had no spirit at all.

"Strange, where's Hegarth?"

Su Ming whispered doubtfully, then turned and headed for the mecha formation office.

Not long after, Su Ming came to the office.

He saw Hegas head on and said unwillingly to Colifa and others.

"Are we just going to evacuate in such a disgrace? What about those trapped people?"

"Hegas, we are not willing to give up either, but this is the order of the legion commander."

Colifa and others said helplessly.

"If you ask me, we should advise the legion commander."

"How do you give advice?"

"We can completely escape from the encirclement first, then lead that group of troops to fight, wear them down little by little, and finally eat them up!"

Hegarth spoke his mind.

At this time, Kaf said in a deep voice.

"What you said is unrealistic. If we slowly consume the troops, it's not the Imperial Army that will be consumed, but the lackeys of the neutral countries. You have to know that the six neutral countries have assembled eight legions, and their military strength alone is more than ten times ours."

"Damn, those damn fence-sitters!"

Hegarth was so angry that he slammed his fist on the desk.

"calm down."

Xiuen persuaded Hegas helplessly.

He was also born in the Sky City. He was unable to save his trapped compatriots. Xiuen felt more uncomfortable than anyone else, but the reality was so helpless.

"Xiun is right. Anger can't change anything."

Su Ming also came over and persuaded Hegas.

After listening to Su Ming's words, Hegas sat down on the chair dejectedly, and the atmosphere in the entire office fell to the bottom.

At least one-third of the officers in the office were involved with Sky City. After all, when the Thirteenth Legion was formed, no one was optimistic and was not willing to send people, and Sky City was the most active in responding.

At this time, Major General Vickers also walked in.

"General."

When Kraft and others saw Major General Vickers come in, they all greeted him.

"Well, I know you are feeling frustrated now, and I am frustrated too. Those trapped are also my companions, but as soldiers, all we have to do is obey orders. There is no problem with the orders issued by the legion commander."

Vickers said to the crowd in a reassuring tone.

He was standing at the door just now and heard basically everything.

"Yes."

Hegas and others replied helplessly.
-
Three days later, Slok Star Sea.

The Star Destroyer Black Death led a huge fleet of ships and moved towards the planetary fortress of Hams.

Inside the Black Death's central control room.

Commander Keggs sat calmly in the command chair.

One subordinate after another reported in an orderly manner.

"Report: We are about to arrive at the center of the Slok Star Sea, and no trace of the enemy has been detected yet."

"Report: The scouts that were sent out found no trace of the enemy."

"Report: The joint army of the six nations has entered the Slok Sea from the Danube Sea and is encircling the transit star. No trace of the enemy has been found."

Hearing this, Keggs snorted coldly.

"It looks like those guys from the Federation really escaped." "Sir, should we chase them?"

The subordinate next to him asked hesitantly.

"Don't chase. Maintain the formation and head towards the Hams Planet Fortress."

Keggs directly rejected his subordinates' proposals. His main goal was to seize the supply line.

"Yes!"

The subordinates present responded in a deep voice.

Soon, the Star Destroyer Black Death led the fleet and arrived in front of the Hams planetary fortress.

Keggs observed the Hams planetary fortress closely through the optical imaging device.

The entire huge planetary fortress has a damaged surface full of holes, and it can be seen that this fortress has gone through a very tragic baptism of war.

"Lord Keggs, what should we do next?"

The subordinate next to him asked respectfully.

"Order Felu to lead a force into the Hams planetary fortress to check the situation."

Keggs gave the order with a frown on his face.

"Yes!"

The subordinates present responded in a deep voice.

As the order was given, a fourth-generation mecha, Blood Falcon, led more than a thousand mechas and flew out from the Star Destroyer Black Death and flew towards the Hams Planetary Fortress.

Soon these mechas entered the fortress through the broken login entrance.

The fortress passage was quiet and very dark, with only the emergency lights on.

Looking closely at this dim login passage, one can see many traces of fighting, but no mecha wreckage is visible.

At this time, they came to a fork in the road, and Felu gave orders in a cold voice.

"Pete, take a team and go to the reserve warehouse to investigate."

"Yes!"

Pete then led more than a hundred subordinates towards the reserve warehouse.

Felu led the remaining people and rushed to the central control room.

Not long after, Pete and others arrived at the reserve warehouse first.

The moment they rushed in, the empty storage warehouse came into view.

"Oh shit!"

Pete cursed angrily and immediately opened the communication channel to report to Felu.

"Sir, the reserve warehouse was completely looted by those guys from the Federation. There's nothing left!"

"I know. Bring your people to the central control room to meet up."

Feilu, who was rushing to the central control room at this time, suddenly looked very ugly and replied in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

Pete responded immediately.

Ten minutes later, Felu and others controlled the mecha and came out of the central control room.

"One team of people get off the mecha and follow me in, the rest of you stay behind!"

After Felu gave the order, he opened the cockpit and jumped out.

Dozens of subordinates also opened the cockpit and jumped down.

Felu led them into the central control room of the Hams planetary fortress.

The central control room was empty, without a single person in sight, and the control console was off.

When Felu saw this, he activated the communication device of the fourth-generation nano-colonized armor on his body and connected to the Black Death.

Soon the communication was successfully connected, and Keggs asked in a deep voice.

"How's it going?"

"Sir, the entire Hams planet fortress is empty, and there is no trace of the Federation. Moreover, everything has been looted, even the wreckage of the mecha was not spared."

Felu reported angrily.

"It seems that the guys from the Federation got wind of the news and fled ahead of time."

Keggs replied in a deep voice.

"Then we have come here for nothing?"

Felu said somewhat unwillingly.

At this moment, the central control console was turned off and suddenly lit up without any warning. The holographic projection screen automatically appeared, and then the lighting system of the entire central control room lit up.

Feilu and others were also startled and turned to look at the projection screen.

Celis’s playful figure appeared and she said with a smile.

"Hi! Dear friends, thank you for coming from afar. I have prepared a welcome party for you."

"Come on, let's have some fun for the Emperor."

As Celis finished speaking, a prompt instantly popped up on the operating screen.

"Self-destruction program initiated."

"Start the 60-second countdown!"

At the same time, the entire Hams planetary fortress suddenly moved, with all jet nozzles outputting at maximum power, rushing towards the Black Death fleet.

"Oh no! A trap!"

Felu shouted in shock and anger.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Keggs roared angrily.

Unfortunately, his order was issued a little too late. When the countdown ended, the Hams planetary fortress that rushed up exploded.

A dazzling sun swept across!
In an instant, more than a dozen level 4 ships that were relatively close were swallowed up by the explosion.

The entire Black Death also shook slightly, and the energy barrier began to fluctuate to a certain extent.

When the explosion is over.

Inside the Black Death's central control room, everyone's faces were filled with fear. No one had expected that the Federation would have such a trick up their sleeve and tricked them all.

In this wave, they didn’t know how many people and ships were killed.

Legion Commander Keggs, veins bulging on his forehead, slammed the armrest, stood up, and cursed angrily.

"Sinister bastard!"
-
Inside the central control room of Star Fortress.

The purple-haired girl sat quietly in the mechanical chair. At this time, Vice Admiral Firion walked to her side and reported in a low voice.

"We're almost there."

When the purple-haired girl heard what Firion said, she immediately stood up and gave orders indifferently.

"Very good, pass on my order to gather all officers and go to the war room!"

"understand!"

Lieutenant General Firion responded in a deep voice.

At Training Ground No. 3, Su Ming, with his hands behind his back, inspected the soldiers' training.

At this moment, his bracelet vibrated and a message popped up!

"Dear Major Su Ming, please go to the Operations Room of Star Castle immediately. You must not be absent!"

When Su Ming saw this message, he immediately walked towards Xiuen and Hegas.

At this time, two people also walked towards Su Ming.

After the three of them met, Xiu En asked Su Ming directly.

"Su Ming, did you receive the message?"

"Got it. Why did you suddenly summon us to the combat command room? Did the enemy catch up with us?"

Su Ming asked with some curiosity.

"I don't know. Let's go to the war room together."

Xiu En said in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

Su Ming and the other two immediately left the training ground and headed towards Xinghui Castle.

Not long after, Su Ming and the other two arrived at the war room.

The entire operations room was very lively, with Colifa and others discussing things.

"Calling us to the war room at this time, could it be that the legion commander has changed his mind?"

"You mean to say that the legion commander is going back to beat them up?"

"I think it's possible?"

"I don't think so. We have been away from the Slok Star Sea for several days. How can we go back now?"

"Then why do you think the legion commander summoned us here?"

"If you ask me, there must be a problem on the way back!"

“It’s very likely.”

Su Ming and the other two looked at each other, then walked to the chair in the middle and sat down.

At this time, Lieutenant General Firion, Major General Jon and Major General Vickers walked in.

After seeing this, Colifa and others quieted down and stopped discussing.

The three of them walked to the front and sat down.

About a few minutes later, footsteps were heard and Su Ming and others turned their heads to look at the door.

I saw a purple-haired girl walking in heroically.

Su Ming and others immediately stood up and greeted them.

"Legion Commander!"

"sit!"

The purple-haired girl raised her hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, then walked straight up to the raised metal platform in the center.

click!
Then the open door closed.

The purple-haired girl glanced at everyone and spoke calmly.

"Before the meeting begins, let me say a few words. From the day we started to evacuate, I noticed that you were in a very low mood. Are you very unwilling?"

After hearing what the purple-haired girl said, Kafu and the others became even more silent.

They were indeed very unwilling to do so, but this was the order of the legion commander, and standing up to refute it would be tantamount to slapping the legion commander in the face.

However, Hegas stood up stubbornly and spoke.

"Report to the Legion Commander, I am really unwilling to accept this!"

Xiuen felt a headache when he saw Hegas taking the lead again. Wouldn't this embarrass the legion commander?
The purple-haired girl spoke with satisfaction after hearing what Hegas said.

"Very good, it's right to be dissatisfied!"

After these words were spoken, Xiu En and the others looked at each other, somewhat confused.

"I have a very interesting and crazy plan to tell you. In another seven hours, we will reach the Dark Star Empire Bergslen Defense Line."

The purple-haired girl confronted everyone directly.

When she said this, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and everyone was stunned.

"Dark Star Empire Bergslen Defense Line?"

"We are going to fight the Dark Star Empire?"

Kaf and others said in shock.

When Su Ming heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes and he thought secretly.

"This legion commander is very clever. He is going to score twice!"

"Everyone, are you scared?"

The purple-haired girl asked, looking at everyone.

"Not afraid!"

Kaf and the others looked stern and shouted in unison.

"Very good. The Dark Star Empire has been extremely arrogant over the years, and no one dares to provoke it. This time we will break its myth and recreate the expedition of the past."

"Yes!"

"The success or failure of this surprise attack on the Dark Star Empire's Bergslen Defense Line will also determine whether our Thirteenth Legion is a dragon or a worm. If we succeed, our deeds will go down in history. If we fail, we will become a laughing stock."

The purple-haired girl said to everyone coldly.

"understand!"

Everyone replied with a tense expression.

There is a saying that goes, people need face and trees need bark!

They are all soldiers of the Federation, and they cannot tolerate becoming a laughing stock even if they die in battle.

At this time the purple-haired girl continued.

"Don't worry, we are not without a chance of winning. The Imperial Army has assembled a large force to attack us, and the strength of the Bergslen Line has now dropped to its lowest point in history."

When Major General Jon heard this, he suddenly realized that the reason why the legion commander released Tedila was probably to anger the Imperial Army and make them send out troops. He was really far-sighted.

"Great!"

Hegas and others replied happily that the soldiers on the defense line had been deployed, and their chances of winning had greatly increased.

The purple-haired girl looked at the delighted crowd, her expression unchanged.

In fact, in addition to the frontal attack, she could also choose to take a detour and sneak into the Dark Star Empire, but she did not choose to do so.
The reason why she chose to confront head-on was to defeat the imperial army and cause panic to the other side, so as to achieve the strategic goal and prove the strength of the Federation.

"Now I begin to arrange the battle plan."

The purple-haired girl raised her hand indifferently and snapped her fingers.

A holographically projected virtual starry sky appeared in front of the purple-haired girl, and she spoke coldly.

"This is the Dark Star Empire's Bergslen Line of Defense. The entire line of defense is in the shape of a cross. There are three legions stationed there, namely the Fourth Phantom Legion, the Tenth Black Blade Legion, and the Eleventh Nightmare Legion. The commander of the entire line of defense is Hodeska."

"Ok!"

Many nodded in response.

"The location we are going to attack this time is the leftmost part of the defense line, the Kader defense zone managed by the Nightmare Legion. This defense zone is the weakest, but even in the weakest zone, the defense force is still very strong."

The purple-haired girl waved her hand, and the star map of this defense area expanded.

A giant ring-shaped war fortress came into view, and the surrounding starry sky was filled with various cone-shaped fortresses and defensive weapons.

"If we want to break through the defense line and enter the Dark Star Empire, we must fight our way through here and destroy the large curvature interference device installed in the Kaderer Fortress! Of course, the Imperial Army will not let us attack. Once the war starts, Hodeska will definitely send troops to support us."

"Commander, how long will it take for the Imperial Army's support to arrive?"

Major General Vickers asked seriously.

"If a single battleship comes to support, it will arrive in one hour. If a fleet comes to support, it will take at least seven hours. But Hodska will not send a single battleship to support because the risk is too high. Of course, if he really loses his mind and sends it, we will just sink it at the same time, so theoretically we have seven hours."

The purple-haired girl replied simply and clearly.

Su Ming and others listened carefully to the words of the legion commander. These were all very important information.

"Of course, in addition to the main support, we also need to pay attention to the right side of Kaderer's defense zone. There is a large defense stronghold here that we need to capture. At the same time, the troops guarding the right side will also come to support us as soon as possible."

The purple-haired girl continued.

"So how do you plan the specific operations this time?"

Major General Vickers asked solemnly.

"This operation is the same as the last one. You don't have to worry about the main battlefield. Vice Admiral Firion will be in charge. As for the large defense stronghold on the right side and the supporting troops, you will be responsible for them all! I will leave the Tsar, the Twin Battleships, and the Mecha Regiment to you!"

The purple-haired girl looked at Vickers and said.

"Yes, I will fulfill my mission!"

Major General Vickers replied confidently.

"Don't be careless. Your enemies this time are different from the last time. This time, they are all regular troops of the Dark Star Empire. They are not comparable to those miscellaneous troops from neutral countries. Therefore, you don't have much advantage."

The purple-haired girl said this in a cold voice. Her words were not only addressed to Major General Vickers, but also to everyone present.

"Yes, Lord Legion Commander!"

Kraft and others responded in a resounding voice.

"Also, this battle is different from the previous ones. Five hours after the war begins, you must end the battle and return to the Star Fortress. If you don't return on time, the Star Fortress will not wait for you and will directly sail into the Dark Star Empire. Then you will be abandoned."

The purple-haired girl warned everyone without a trace of emotion.

"understand!"

Su Ming and others replied seriously.

"Okay, everyone go back and gather the troops. I will give a pre-war mobilization speech to everyone in half an hour!"

The purple-haired girl said to everyone.

"understand!"

Su Ming and others immediately stood up and hurriedly left the operations room.

Not long after, in training ground No. 3.

All the personnel of the three regiments were gathered together and lined up in an orderly manner.

Su Ming, Hegas and Xiu En stood at the front.

Rhine and the others all sensed something was wrong, but no one asked and they just waited quietly.

At this time, the broadcast of Star Fortress sounded.

"Everyone, I am the commander of the Thirteenth Legion. I am here to announce something important. The Star Fortress will soon reach the Dark Star Empire's Bergslen defense line. At that time, we will launch a surprise attack on the empire's defense line and attack the Dark Star Empire from the front."

When these words were spoken, all the soldiers and officers were shocked.

"I know you must be very shocked now, and even feel that this is all too crazy. But I want to tell you that although the Imperial Army is very powerful, it is not invincible. Our ancestors once held high the banner and broke through the Empire's defenses to go on expeditions. Now it is our turn. I have the confidence to recreate the glory of our ancestors. Do you have the confidence?"

"Have!"

After hearing what the purple-haired girl said, everyone shouted excitedly.

"Very good, I heard your shouts. History will remember this moment. Everyone, begin preparations for war."

The purple-haired girl officially announced.

As the purple-haired girl finished her words, a rapid alarm sounded.

At this time, Xiuen formally issued orders to all members of the Third Regiment.

"Everyone, go to the Tsar mothership immediately and prepare for battle."

"Yes!"

Rhine and others replied seriously.

"Very good, let's go!"

Su Ming and the other two led the team towards the Tsar.

Inside the hangar of the Level 5 mothership Tsar.

Rhine and others were driving the mecha, waiting for the logistics maintenance personnel to give the mecha a final inspection and supply.

Su Ming glanced at the many soldiers. Although the number of soldiers this time was almost half of that of the last time, the overall combat level had been greatly enhanced. Compared with before, the combat effectiveness would be stronger instead of weaker.

At this time, Su Ming and others' wristbands vibrated and a message popped up.

Xiu En took a look and said to Su Ming and Hegas.

"Let's go, General Vickers is calling a war meeting."

"Ok!"

Su Ming nodded.

A moment later, the three arrived at Operations Room No. 1.

At this time, Colifa and others arrived, and they talked excitedly.

"I really didn't expect that the legion commander would lead us to attack the imperial army's defense line!"

"I didn't expect that either, but you feel like this situation is a little familiar!"

"When you put it that way, I feel like I'm back in the time when we attacked the Slok Star Sea. It feels like history is repeating itself!"

"Yes, that's what I mean! I feel that the Legion Commander's mind is really terrible. She plays us around in circles and we can't guess what she's thinking at all."

"Okay, if someone else wants her to play, she might not even bother to play."

Ye Hai spoke.

"Hey, that makes sense!"

Korifah said with a smile.
