Yeager Soback still remembers clearly that his former self did not actually like the universe.
The Tiruro people have always claimed that they are the "conquerors of the starry sky" and the "family of the stars". The Yeager family was once one of the noblest families among the military nobles of Tiruro, and the descendants of Yeager should all
Be proud of your family name and family history. Members of the Yeager family, regardless of gender, should love the other side of the universe.
However, Jaeger Soback really doesn't like the universe.
He was just a man who grew up in the Divine Grace Colonial Star, on a planet called New Misa.
When he was old enough to celebrate Children's Day, one cold winter night, he was wrapped in a thick down jacket, riding on his father's neck and looking up at the sky. He saw the majestic undulating snow-capped mountains at the end of the horizon, but
I also saw the desolate and oppressive darkness shrouded above the snow line, as if the abyss was swallowing up the only whiteness in the world bit by bit.
Since the endless darkness can swallow up the magnificent snow-capped mountains, how can my small body be able to resist it? If there really is a demon reaching out with invisible giant hands from the abyss, how can I resist it?
The terrifying feeling made his hair stand on end, and he could only hug his father's neck tightly.
However, his father was far from understanding his own state of mind. He just taught in a gentle but rigid tone: "Listen, little Yeager, the other side of the star sea is our hometown! You have to revive the Soback family.
.We should have followed the Dragon of Dawn and conquered the universe!"
This is how my grandfather educated his father, and this is how his father educated him. However, how can there be so many visions in the world that can be easily realized?
When his father died in an interstellar shipping accident, Yeager Soback also entered his own teenage life. He always felt that his fear of the universe disappeared with the passage of time. He thought he had broken through himself, but
I hope that I can live up to the expectations of our ancestors and do something great in the universe.
It is August 17, Galactic Standard Time, Year 833 of the Common Calendar.
Yeager Soback is 28 years old and is leading a capable and powerful Imperial fleet into a starry sky in the Dawn Star Territory and is about to enter the battlefield. He has already created achievements that far exceed his father's expectations.
However, he suddenly discovered that he was still the same young man as before, without any change.
The universe is still so scary!
"...No, no enemy ships were found?" he asked.
Miss Serlu nodded solemnly.
"And the call to Fleet 77 has not been answered?"
Miss Serlu nodded solemnly, frowned, and put her hand on the gun case at her waist.
"Why are you touching the gun?" Soback couldn't help but asked. He just thought that Miss Viscount's actions had a comic effect, and for a while he was not so scared.
"This, a subconscious action, is really rude." Miss Viscount smiled sheepishly, and then said: "But, Your Excellency, this is unscientific!"
It's very unethical for you, a psychic, to say such things, don't you know?
Captain Peggese also praised: "Indeed, this goes against common sense."
"I don't want to hear this kind of answer." Soback rubbed his hands and said with a straight face: "As a captain, you should be a smarter and more experienced shipping expert than me. What I want to hear is more
Constructive comments.”
He knew that what he said seemed unreasonable, and he was just like Party A who deserved to be hung from the street. But sometimes, when people want to overcome their fear, they need to be a little more hysterical. This is probably the case when some people enter a haunted house.
That's probably why he yells.
Miss Serlu looked at Soback with admiration. She probably thought that the commander should be a little domineering from time to time, so that he can be manly.
Captain Peggese helplessly spread his hands: "But, sir, I am also an academic! In terms of practical experience in navigation, I am actually a rookie. In terms of practical experience in navigation and exploration, I am not as good as you.
, not even as good as Miss Viscount."
"What do you mean by even?" Sellu said loudly.
So you, a rookie, dare to fire a volley of port guns at a place where the battleships of both sides are crossing each other and the shortest distance is no more than 1 kilometer? Is there such a wild academic in this world?
Also, I always feel like you were mocking me just now.
He was about to say something like "Smart people shouldn't read banned books randomly, as they can easily become traitors", but Captain Peggese added: "But maybe it's a space ghost or something."
Yeager Soback's heart began to feel cold, and he even felt that his legs were shaking uncontrollably. In order to prevent others from seeing this, he simply snorted and moved his legs in self-indulgence.
Put it on the table.
It’s too ungraceful. Miss Serlu shook her head, and will strengthen your etiquette training in the future. I have to say that as a famous general in the world, you must have such a chic and comfortable style!
The viscount glanced at the admiral with a sweet smile, and then looked at Captain Pegsey over there, his face suddenly fell again: "Captain, this is not the venue for the Seven Incredible Ghost Stories in Space City."
"I know. But maybe it's some kind of ghost in the void? I'm not a psychic, but this thing should exist, right?"
"I am a psyker. So I know that ghosts in the void will not appear in space. If they do, they will appear in ships. The more people there are, the more likely they are to appear." Sellu said loudly.
This time it was Captain Peggese who was shocked. He looked around subconsciously, raised his collar to cover his neck, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, sirs, I would rather
Encountering an invisible space Leviathan. As long as its skin can absorb most electromagnetic waves, gravity detection, mass induction and heat sources, it can achieve a certain degree of invisibility in the universe."
"A Leviathan that can become invisible and kill destroyers?" Soback bared his teeth.
"Space Leviathans that can kill destroyers are not uncommon in the universe." Captain Peggese said.
I fucking know! I also know that there is a Leviathan in this world that can only be killed by dispatching a fleet!
Because of this, I think this universe is very scary. So, how can I, a small colonial guard hunter, become the fleet commander? When will the logistics and personnel work I want to do come true?
?
Putting aside Soback's own psychological activities, Miss Serlu also felt chilled inexplicably.
"So, is there such a thing?" she asked.
"I've never heard of it. I've read all the space creature illustrations, but there are no similar records." Captain Peggese said: "However, this is the New World, the Dawn Star Territory, and it is not easy to discover new space species.
strangeness."
Soback's face was very ugly. He admitted that what the other party said was very reasonable, but just because it was so reasonable, the situation always seemed particularly dangerous.
Viscount Sellu comforted him: "Well, if it is really Leviathan, I can accept it. It is better than a Void Realm lord suddenly appearing out of nowhere."
If it was really the Void Realm Lord, with her or Soback's spiritual perception ability, they should have felt it when they entered this galaxy. That's why Miss Viscount ruled out this possibility.
... Of course, there are indeed lord monsters that like latent forms in the virtual realm. However, such things are very otaku and will not come into the real universe. At least there is no record of this in the current history.
But no matter what, if you continue to linger in the same place, there will be no results.
"We can only go to the energy source to check." Captain Peggese said.
"Indeed, the empire's fleet cannot be frightened into fleeing by the commander's suspicion," Viscount Serlu said.
I really wanted to be scared by my own suspicion and run away. Soback was about to say this, but at this moment, Teacher Cheap's words rang in his mind: "Listen, Yeager, I am also very afraid of the universe.
When I was young, I even got a disease that would kill me if I boarded a spaceship and left the atmosphere. Hahahahaha, actually I am still afraid of it now. So you know why I became a marshal, but even after a while
Is it because you don’t even have a serious flagship of your own?”
Soback always felt that the teacher should be comforting him at that time. However, Duke Sadolan later told him: "Don't try to overcome fear. In the final analysis, this is actually a kind of escape. Accept him, integrate him, and understand him."
.Fear can also be transformed into your own power."
These words are different from what my father taught me.
Yeager Soback's old-fashioned but kind father had been with him for sixteen years, but he had only known his cheap master, Duke Sartolan, for sixteen months, and the total time he had taught him was no more than sixteen days. But he
But I feel that the words of the cheap teacher seem to be more correct. However, I always feel that it is a little evil.
At this time, he heard the voice of Miss Viscount: "Sir, the entire fleet should be on combat alert. All marines should wear armor, and all crew members should also wear anti-Dutch suits and helmets."
"Just do it."
In this way, the Soback fleet headed by the Royal Rabbit deployed its shields, opened the main gun doors, and touched the fourth planet of this system, which was the end of the irregular energy source just now. Look.
Their trembling and cautious look was probably what they felt like during the fleet battle.
Three hours later, Soback, who was fully focused on combat readiness, was still inexplicably energetic and full of tension. At this moment, he could already see with the naked eyes of a third-ring psyker.
The original appearance of Planet No. 4.
He knew that this was actually the result of training from his cheap teacher, Duke Sartolan. He could actually use techniques such as "Silver Will" and "Lion Heart" to force himself to cheer up and stay focused even in a mere "exploration".
Already.
If it was my old self, no, even the self last month, I'm afraid I would have been exhausted by the pressure.
He did feel obvious growth, which should be the result of Duke Sadolan's special training, but he really couldn't be happy about it. For psykers, the faster they grow, the richer their imaginations and the more sensitive they will be.
The easier it is to have random thoughts.
Take that planet for example. It is a brown earth-like planet, but the atmosphere on the surface of the planet does not seem so friendly. It lingers on the surface of the planet, and under the light of the stars, it appears in the universe.
There was a blood-red light spot that was extremely depressing, inexplicably reminiscent of the whirlpool of the Blood Pool Hell.
...Okay, this is clearly thinking that drives imagination. You have to stand up! Yeager Soback!
Sobek, Sobek, at least you can't be sorry for your teacher's teachings! Yes, accept fear! Integrate fear! Feel fear! Well, for the disciples of Duke Saduran, isn't this the most suitable place for practice?
?
He forced himself to cheer up again and calmly ordered the fleet to prepare to launch reconnaissance drones. At the same time, he also turned on the power of all enemy tracking radars to the maximum, all the gunners of the gravity tractors of the close-in defense artillery missile towers, and various damage control units.
We must also be prepared to go to war at any time.
Then, the radar officer informed that an obvious mass projection was felt.
Soon, the location of the destroyer's wreckage appeared on the holographic space map.
After another half minute, the current live scene was also projected. On the video screen, it was more like minced meat than the corpses of the two destroyers. If it were not for the material analysis and residual communication ripples, it was determined
These steel fragments indeed belong to the destroyers of the 77th Detachment. No one can recognize them. They were once part of the Apocalypse Eagle battleship.
Qingmu released all the fighter planes and opened a huge warning network with a radius of one million kilometers.
The destroyer arrived at the scene of the battle and began to search and rescue survivors. Of course, judging from the current situation, this may only be regarded as a human effort. Compared with the survivors who have little hope, the black box and logbook on the battleship are more important.
.
The above are all very common rescue steps, and the soldiers took action without Sobek's orders.
Of course, the Royal Rabbit and its cruisers have always launched a combat mode within the safety warning range, and continue to maintain a battle-ready state with the shields full and the gun ports fully open, with all combatants working around the clock.
No one expressed dissatisfaction. Didn’t you see that the commander was also like this?
Therefore, starting from today, Yeager Soback will soon be able to achieve the achievement of becoming the king of the Imperial Guard Fleet.
After some time passed, even Miss Serlu, who was usually the most dedicated to her duties, inevitably showed signs of fatigue. This girl had been wearing a half-ton heraldic machine for more than four hours.
Just when Soback was hesitating whether to let everyone take turns to rest, the technical department also sent the latest analysis report.
"Are there traces of neutron burns on the fragments?" Miss Serlu was startled.
"Lance cannon?" Captain Peggese asked.
"We also considered this problem at the beginning. However, the armor fragments of the ship did not seem to be exploded internally, but more like they were cut open. Except for a small amount of edge burning, the material structure of those fragments was very stable.
"
The head of the technical department, Colonel Visa, looked in disbelief, even with undisguised panic and horror on his face.
For such military technicians, the most terrifying thing is probably to encounter destructive phenomena that are difficult to understand.
"Oh, it's like being cut by a lightsaber?" Soback asked casually.
"Yes, yes, he was cut by the lightsaber!" Colonel Wesa suddenly realized, and the fear on his face suddenly disappeared: "You are indeed a commander! As long as you understand the source of the phenomenon, your subordinates will not be afraid!"
I'm even more scared, okay? What kind of thing can cut the hull of a ship from the outside with a lightsaber? Well, even if those powerful men above saints can do it, then who can take the trouble to cut apart a mere destroyer?
Why should it be so complete?
As soon as Soback shuddered, Colonel Visar said again: "No wonder we can't find the remains of the ship's terminal, and we can't find the bodies of most of the crew members."
Miss Serlu couldn't help but said: "Could it have been disintegrated? Just now it was the lightsaber of the alliance profiteer, but this time it is the atomic light spear of the Knights?"
"..."
"I guessed it right?"
Captain Peggese knocked his palm with his fist and concluded: "So, we are facing a space Leviathan that can become invisible and can use large light spears and lightsabers. Is that what you mean?"
