Chapter 2223 Terra Suburbs
Due to the deployment of traps by the commander of the Chuang Shenxing defenders and the misjudgment of the rebels, a large number of bombers and transport ships were destroyed in the fierce battle. The fighter formation was in chaos in the decision to protect the bombers or transport ships, which made them not do both. In the end, after losing 80% of the bombers and transport planes and a large number of fighters, the rebels retreated in a panic.
After that, the rebels continued to attack Chuangshen Star, and even the surrounding defenders thought that the aviation base had fallen.
However, soon a surprise attack by the Hedgehog Air Force told everyone that Chuang Shenxing was always standing. Without the bomber's operation, the surviving pilots actually drove the bomber formation with manuals and servant assistance. During the extreme range, they launched a sudden attack on the enemy's fleet and sank a destroyer and severely damaged a light cruiser. The price was that the entire bomber formation had only one seriously damaged bomber to return to the base.
In the end, the Hedgehog Air Force became a banner of the Creation Star. Even when the number of fighters was less than 1,000, even when almost all the large aviation bases on the planet were destroyed and there were only simple underground bases left, they always fought tenaciously with the enemy, and the surrounding aviation bases were constantly replenishing new fighter jets and pilots to the Creation Star. When the last initial member of the Hedgehog Air Force was killed and the air force had completely replaced a group of people, the fearless and adventurous spirit always inspired the aviation forces to fight for mankind and the empire.
So until now ten thousand years later, the "Hedgehog" aviation team is still stationed at Chuangshen Star, watching over the homeland of mankind.
After hearing the story of Villets' heroic air force, Soshyan couldn't help but go to Chuangshi to take a look.
Due to the cruel combat destruction and the destruction of satellites, Chuang Shenxing is no longer as good as it used to be. Now there are only more than 1,700 fighter jets stationed. Soshiyang visited the memorial hall of Chuang Shenxing Sky Battle and even saw photos of the first group of members of the "Hedgehog" aviation team. They were all young boys and girls in their early twenties, and even smiled when taking photos, but in the end they sprinkled blood in the void in the cruel war, which is a pity.
After leaving the Star of Creation, the fleet came to Neptune, and in a sense it was truly entering the throne of the solar system and humans.
As an ice giant planet, Neptune's environment is harsh and difficult to live in. However, when humans entered space, they still had difficulty colonizing Neptune and its satellites. However, in the era of disputes, most of the residents on the planet mutated into ugly inhuman creatures.
In the early Great Expedition, the mission of conquering Neptune and its satellites and clearing the mutant tribe fell on the shoulders of the Ninth Legion, but the battle was not easy. During the conquest of Neptune, due to the lack of supplies and resources, the Ninth Legion carried out a difficult bloody battle and sacrificed more than 10,000 combat brothers.
However, when the Imperial reinforcements arrived, the Ninth Legion persisted and successfully completed the mission. They also recruited many mutants from the ruins of Neptune to replenish their troops, which also made the Ninth Legion the only battle group to transform warriors with mutants. The famous first-generation leader of the Meat Tearman Warriors was a resident of Neptune.
In a sense, Neptune may be a "holy land" for the flesh-torchers.
However, this history has long been forgotten, and even Villets cannot be said. It was mentioned by Seth and Soshyan when they talked about the history of the Legion.
At least there are no traces left by the Ninth Legion on Neptune and its satellites.
During the Horus Rebellion, Neptune had only scattered battles, but two satellites were still completely destroyed.
There are no large residential sites on Neptune now, only a large number of resource mining stations, and most residents live on satellites and huge orbital space stations called Grillo.
There are thirteen existing satellites in Neptune. Except for Triton, which is the coldest celestial body measured in the solar system (-235℃) that is used to exploit resources, the other twelve satellites have established large settlements and crowded nests. After all, the land price of the solar system is the most expensive in the entire empire, and no place where you can live will be wasted. In particular, the land price of Neptune itself is cheaper than most planets in the solar system, and is not as "remote" as Pluto. Therefore, many people, especially those who are unable to stay in Terra and are unwilling to leave the solar system, choose to settle in Neptune, so some people even jokingly call Neptune the "outer of Terra".
When Soshiyan knew that the entire Neptune and the satellite had 400 billion people inhabited, he couldn't help but be amazed. No wonder there were always a steady stream of merchant ships and transport ships coming here.
But he was also a little confused, what is this?
Weiletz's explanation is that it is probably closer to the glory of the emperor...
She also said an interesting thing, that is, Neptune's gang is very famous in the solar system, and almost all commercial activities are related to gangs, which are so rampant that even the Legal Department cannot control it - in fact, it is not that it cannot control it, but Neptune's gang is often closely related to Terra's power.
Soshiyan is not surprised by this.
Neptune's heads and minds received the news long before the arrival of the Astral Knights fleet, so they waited early in the Grillo orbital station. When the fleet was docked in the huge dock, the boarding hall that was supposed to be people was already empty. The guards with live ammunition stood everywhere, and a group of bureaucrats, nobles, priests, merchant representatives, and mechanical priests in red robes were waiting here.
The deeds of the Great Vortex Expedition have long been spread throughout the solar system through merchant fleets, various narrators, and publications. After all, the Great Vortex Channel is closely related to the trade in the solar system. Even if the people do not care, they must also care about it.
Although Huron was not eliminated in the end, even the most mean critics had to admit that the biggest troubles of the Great Vortex route was solved in just seven years, and this expedition was undoubtedly successful - especially compared to the stinky, long and cost countless money and food soldiers but had little progress.
The essence of war is to settle accounts. Whether from the long-term or near-term benefits, the results of the Great Vortex Expedition have benefited a lot from everyone.
This also allows them to understand their enthusiasm for Soshiyan and the Astral Knights.
Soshiyang originally wanted to cross Neptune directly, but the other party had already sent a message, so he couldn't just leave directly, so he could only meet these people.
In fact, there was nothing much new in the whole process, it was nothing more than all kinds of praise, flattery, and boastfulness, but Soshiyang was not the kind of person who could just listen to a few words.
