Yang Ming and Po Sua entered the medical bay respectively. The Dongfeng was escorted by hundreds of imperial main battleships and began to support the frontal battlefield.
At this time, they have nothing to do with how much discussion and turmoil their battle videos have caused on the Internet at home and abroad.
Since they agreed to Li's request to serve as bait on the frontal battlefield, they must now return to their best condition as quickly as possible to cope with the 'Great Queen's Attack' that may come at any time.
Yang Ming was really curious about the empire's ultimate weapon.
Relatively speaking, he still has one doubt.
He has already issued an order to transfer Bly to his side, and he wants to drag Bly to his side to participate in the battle. He has the "strongest general transformer" Gris on the left, and the "asexual angel" Bly on the right. The main character is a
The sense of security after exhaustion.
But Bly never appeared on the battlefield.
Yang Ming fell asleep in a daze, leaving all these thoughts behind.
He wasn't actually worried about his situation.
Law has been watching here. If there is any danger, the device hanging in his ear will immediately sound an alarm.
What's more, Yang Ming has now perfectly raised the tiger flag given by the Faya people.
Even if the Sherman Empire wants to move him, it must carefully consider his current 'net worth'.
…
Three galactic hours later.
On the route of the Dongfeng, near an administrative star named Guilan not far from the airspace where the frontal battlefield is located, Revell, the penultimate hereditary earl of the empire, is completely unhappy now.
He is going to kill the enemy head-on!
He has asked for orders from the military headquarters twelve times in a row, but all he received were reprimands!
Now, he is the commander-in-chief of a joint fleet of noble private armies, in charge of 1,600 ships of various types, most of which are old-fashioned ships.
The escort troops of Sakaar are also here. Those battleships are well-equipped and their performance has not been emasculated in the slightest. Revel is envious of them.
As long as the military agrees to let him lead the charge, he will definitely form a firepower formation around the escort of Sakaar.
The young commanders of the Saka Star Guards also left a very deep impression on Revell.
Unfortunately, the feedback given to him by the military department was always just eight words:
Hold your position and wait for orders.
Revell also understood that compared to the regular army of the empire, the combat effectiveness of the noble private soldiers was indeed inferior.
Their mission at the moment is to protect the safety of the right rear of the main battlefield, always pay attention to whether there are insect passages in the nearby star field, and protect one of the twelve supply routes of the empire.
The earl sat on the command chair with his chin in his hands. Although he was a little tired, he still carefully reviewed the data that passed in front of him.
Feedback from monitoring ships everywhere is normal.
The nearby administrative stars are relatively densely populated, and most of the people have moved to underground shelters. The dense rail guns deployed on the outer surface of the planet also have considerable firepower.
Revell grabbed the refreshing drink on the side and took a sip. He frowned and asked, "How is the situation on the front line?"
Immediately, a staff officer sent by the military headquarters came forward to report:
"Lord Earl, sporadic fighting has continued, but it is not as scary as when the main insect swarm came, and our defense line has stabilized again.
"The bugs seem to want to swallow up our main army and then move towards the Emperor Star.
"You don't have to be too nervous. If there is an insect infestation here, the Imperial Guard system will take over the fleet as soon as possible."
"The Imperial Guard system is always artificial intelligence," Revell sighed, "We still have to put people first, otherwise it will easily brew another disaster."
The staff officer laughed: "If it weren't for the Imperial Guard system, when the first batch of main insect waves came, we might have been torn open in the defense line due to insufficient dispatch speed. The Imperial Guard system can allow all our firepower to be unleashed.
It has the proper effect and can increase the fleet's combat power by more than 70%, especially in the current situation where tens of thousands of ships are crowded together."
Revell asked: "Is there any news about my idol?"
"The second battlefield has achieved great success, and even two thousand to three thousand firepower ships can be mobilized to support the main battlefield."
The staff officer hesitated for a while, but decided to speak.
The people here are all human beings, so there won't be any insect spies.
The staff officer said slowly: "According to the news from the military headquarters, Major General Hanton and his partner Valkyrie will arrive near the frontal battlefield in the next few galactic hours."
"Um?"
Revell's eyes lit up: "Are they going to pass by here?"
"That should be the case," the staff officer laughed. "The news was passed on in some group chats for military exchanges. Because the Imperial Guard system is here, everyone is quite free."
"Then can I meet with him?" Revell asked, "Or, let you take command here, and I will lead my elite team to follow. I can help a lot. Think of me as a captain and a fleet.
The commander, I can even fly the mecha, I have been training for several years!"
The staff officer showed a helpless expression: "You... you are the commander, and more than a thousand ships here are at your disposal. My lord, you must put away these willful words, which will have a certain impact on morale.
"
"Okay... hmm? Why is the warning light on?"
Revell frowned slightly.
The staff officer glanced at the main console subconsciously, but he was still saying: "You wouldn't do something to draw my attention and then rush out suddenly... is it really bright?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a piercing siren suddenly sounded.
The flagship where Revell was located, as well as the nearby warships, all sounded harsh warning sounds.
"Detector 45922 detected a gravitational anomaly in space!"
"Three abnormal points!"
"Insect Path is forming! Warning! Insect Path is forming! Insect Path No. 1 is directly in front of our department, and Insect Path No. 2 is directly behind our department! Insect Path No. 3... The coordinates of Insect Path No. 3 are related to Guilan Star
The spatial coordinates at this moment overlap! They are outside the atmosphere of Guilan Star!"
"What?"
Revell stood up suddenly.
Return to the outer reaches of Blue Star?
"Can bugs ignore the gravitational influence of planets and create bug tunnels?"
"It's not surprising that the queen who is about to ascend to another dimension has any tricks."
"Why are you here?" The staff officer frowned tightly, "Count, please immediately announce that the entire ship is ready for battle! The situation here has been automatically reported to the military department!"
"No need for you to remind me!"
Revel jumped up to the podium, pressed the three buttons in front of him, took a deep breath, and said steadily:
"Everyone! Please cheer up!
"The Space Zerg appeared on Guilan Star, which is only ten minutes away from us. Directly in front and behind us, a large number of Space Zerg are about to emerge!
"Next, I'll issue the transfer order!"
Revell took a deep breath and immediately said: "The first, third, and sixth formations... hello?"
He frowned and looked at the technician beside him: "Why did I get disconnected?"
"Earl, I didn't cut it off!"
Instruments throughout the flagship experienced glitches of several milliseconds at the same time.
A line of writing suddenly appeared on the main screen nearby: The Empire's Total Defense System has taken over the fleet.
Immediately afterwards, rays of light intersected, and the back of the girl with twin ponytails filled Revel's sight.
“Good mobilization.”
Li's voice came to Revell's ears, and then, under Revell's wide-eyed gaze, a little bit of fluorescence flew out of her nails, and the liaison machine at the command center began to issue orders frantically, and a message appeared on the main screen.
After learning the map of the star field where the fleet is located, each ship has its own channel planned.
The operators guarding the operation console of each battleship only need to follow the instructions in front of them and in their ears, press the buttons in front of them, and push the gear lever in their hands. There is nothing else to do.
Even if an operational error occurs, other operating consoles will provide instructions to make up for it.
The Imperial fleet began to respond within two seconds.
One thousand two hundred ships were divided into three, and a series of green light spots appeared at the edge of the screen.
That represents reinforcements rushing in from nearby protective positions.
Revell's tightly frowned brows gradually eased, and he suddenly relaxed.
Such an artificial intelligence command system is indeed a little more efficient than manual work.
But he still firmly believes that this kind of virtual neural network, artificial intelligence with learning capabilities, can never replace humans... right?
"Count Revell," Li suddenly turned to look at Revell, "You are the most famous human being in the local area. Please issue disaster evacuation advice to the people who have returned to Blue Star. There are still about 30 million residents on the surface. Please let them
Try to stay away from the insect path."
"Uh, okay!"
Revell immediately responded, a photo ball flew to the side, and within ten seconds the podium was set up.
About two minutes later, Revell's image appeared everywhere on the surface of Guilan Star.
Because the insect tunnel chosen by the Zerg was just above the densely populated main city of Guilan Star, many residents had already noticed the sudden appearance of holes in the sky.
Accompanied by Revell's rather fast-paced shouts, the panicked crowd began to look for a building that could save their lives.
From the oval hole, a pitch-black beetle dozens of meters long slowly flew out, vibrating the extremely thin transparent wings on its back and making a cooing sound from its mouth.
The picture seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
Immediately afterwards, the hole with a diameter of several kilometers was like an oil field blowout, and countless types of Zerg spewed out!
Above and below these bugs, two layers of planetary railguns fire simultaneously!
On the surface, thousands of missiles dragged their tail fins and rushed towards the insect tunnel.
Above the towering buildings on the ground, the combined protection system that extracted most of the city's energy began to shoot high-energy lasers into the sky.
Thanks to the wealth returned to Blue Star, the local government and noble gentry spent a lot of money to deploy this defense system, which indeed had a certain effect. The insect swarm that had not yet had time to deploy was dealt a blow.
In particular, the first batch of bugs were mainly fourth-level insects, mixed with one-tenth of the fifth-level ordinary bugs. Facing the saturated attack of human firepower, it was indeed a bit unsightly.
However, the cunning of bugs and their understanding of human technology are fully demonstrated at this moment.
The first wave of missiles failed to destroy the worm tunnel. The firepower on the human side suffered a setback, and many planetary cannons needed to fill up the energy modules.
Thousands of adult insects with golden patterns on their carapace suddenly appeared below the insect tunnel.
Immediately afterwards, countless fifth-level adults surged out, filling half of the sky within half a minute.
Humanity's fire defense system is on the verge of collapse!
…
"Quick! Can it be faster?"
Peterson urged the operator beside him with a low growl.
"Captain! This is already the acceleration limit of our ship. We can't throw weights to increase acceleration! The weights are all energy and war supplies!"
Peterson glared and cursed: "Didn't you see that the planet is about to be eaten by bugs!"
"Then you drive it!"
The operator had a strong relationship with the captain and glared back.
"That's not what I meant," Peterson sighed, "I mean, in the face of disaster, we must work together, remember the Lord's teachings, and use our subjective initiative as much as possible to reduce casualties and property losses.
, make the greatest contribution.”
"Do this whole thing!"
The operator sat back in his seat, took a deep breath, and then began to adjust his combat readiness according to the instructions that kept popping up.
Peterson was pacing back and forth, one wild idea after another popping up in his mind, but these ideas were always quickly eliminated by the laws of physics and technological level.
In the continuous screen projection on the side, several middle-aged officers whispered: "Peterson, you are the deputy commander-in-chief of your fleet. It is not good to lose your temper like this. You must set an example for the soldiers."
Peterson frowned and said: "We all come from the same planet, who doesn't know who else's temper?"
"It's useless to be anxious. It will take us nine minutes at the fastest to reach the vicinity of Guilan Star. It will take at least half an hour to enter the atmosphere. Now the gravity of stars and planets is already accelerating for us. You have to jump directly.
Has it passed?"
"Can we attack the insect path directly?"
"I'm afraid not," an officer said, "Captain Peterson, we understand that as a follower of the imperial hero White Ghost, you have a lofty sense of mission in your heart, but now, we must follow the instructions from the command platform.
"
"Yes Peterson, the mission of a soldier is to obey the command completely. Look at what you look like now. Don't bring disgrace on the face of the great ghost."
Peterson chuckled, crossed his arms, and carefully looked at the various commands that appeared on the console.
He frowned and asked, "Then what can we do now?"
"Pray to the ghosts, pray that the planetary defense system can delay the bugs for a while, and pray that the underground shelters are tight enough."
"My lord is an atheist," Peterson shook his head. "We will definitely make it in time, we will definitely make it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several projection screens popped up in front of his eyes.
Inside is the battle situation on Guilan Star.
The bugs have destroyed the underlying planetary defense systems.
Their purpose was clear, and they merged into a black torrent, rushing towards the surface at high altitude; like a huge tornado that expanded hundreds of times, or like an endless disaster falling from the sky.
At this speed, it would only take them ten minutes to reach the surface city.
——This is also thanks to the strong resistance generated by the atmosphere and planetary magnetic field.
What makes Peterson feel a little relieved is the layout of the shelter at Blue Star.
The shelter is actually far away from the main city, under a ruins, and is a multi-layered hierarchical structure with various weapons and equipment underneath.
This might last a little longer.
"We must save them!" Peterson said harshly.
…
Dongfeng, inside the medical cabin.
Yang Ming, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the rhythmic "beep" and "beep" sounds.
