Yu Lian originally thought that the first one to appear in front of everyone would be the menacing Star Eater. In theory, this thing is stronger than the dreadnought, and it is a natural MT. However, it jumped out of the gravity well channel first.
Yes, they are three predator medium-sized battleships.
They hung around near the entrance of the gravity well for nearly twenty minutes, and even some small fighters scattered. Yu Lian guessed that the Sazaka Warlord on the Marauder side was probably worried about an ambush here, so he sent some detectives first.
Road fleet.
However, no matter how much we probe, it is meaningless. In terms of pure military strength, our side is indeed far from the opponent of the predator army.
Sure enough, those reconnaissance troops were really relieved. At 5:35 in the morning, the main force of the Predators finally jumped into the local system in a swaggering manner.
The first thing to enter the battlefield was still not the huge space Leviathan, but a fleet composed of predator battleships and those spherical drone motherships. Immediately afterwards, the triangular mining drones came out from the ground like wasps.
He got out and rushed towards all the surrounding light signals.
...Well, they don't even reach the level of wasps. You also need to know that when wasps attack the enemy, they at least know how to concentrate their firepower.
The drone quickly noticed the unmanned turret group that Yang Xiyi had already set up in the nearby airspace. Each of these turret groups was equipped with various colored lights, flickering like a holiday party.
Putting it on the battlefield would attract a lot of hatred. As a result, quite a few drones attracted attention and rushed in that direction.
The first firing that occurred in the New Battle of Lushun actually started with drones projecting firepower on each other.
However, these drone turrets purchased from the Iron Army Complex and the Toss Merchant Corporation are indeed the most advanced automatic defense equipment in the universe, but they are really no match for these ancient mining machines. After several rounds of fighting
, the drone swarm destroyed ten times as many opponents while its own losses were less than double digits, and then rushed into the turret group with a roar.
This is the "nature" of these mining machines. After all, they are not combat machines but civilian machines. To them, aren't these destroyed forts just minerals?
So, the mining machines rushed into the unmanned forts, just like they had rushed into every asteroid containing minerals for hundreds of millions of years.
And this was also expected by Yang Xiyi, who was in charge of the overall command of the new Lushun Star Port. Immediately afterwards, the compressed tritium gas hidden in the sealing facilities inside the turret was directly discharged into the airspace, and even after that, it was still burning.
Detonate with the wreckage.
A large, gorgeous light curtain suddenly appeared in the pitch-black space, sucking in the mining drones and remaining turrets.
Funds are burning! Literally.
Yu Lian clicked his tongue in surprise, but immediately felt more relieved.
He can now confirm that the current ability of the predators to control the uninhabited ones is only limited to preventing them from attacking oneself and dragging them together. On the battlefield, one can only expect these things to be used freely.
No, although a large group of companions were lost, the remaining drones were not affected at all and continued to move forward, directly heading towards the new Lushun Military Port. At this time, the fleet led by Eleanor was also heading towards
That direction shifts.
But even with such a desperate pursuit, they are still moving forward bravely.
"The commander called and asked us to start taking action according to the original plan." The voice of First Officer Kong Qingyu, who was waiting on the bridge, reached Yu Lian's ears.
Yu Lian did not object and said to everyone who had already boarded the heraldry machine behind him: "Start boarding the boat."
The strategic strike fleet, consisting of a dreadnought ship disguised as a mothership, the Scarlet Throne, two aircraft carriers, Lexington and Saratoga sisters, as well as three light carriers and three destroyers, started their sublight engines one after another, and
Turn the engine power to 100% in the shortest possible time.
The fleet did not rush in the direction of the predator fleet, but broke away from the orbit that had previously hidden the ultimate gas planet, followed the aperture around it to the outer ring of the galaxy, and then headed towards the gravity well.
Immediately afterwards, the fleet directly switched to the first war speed. These warships entering sub-light speed were like iron cavalry starting a roundabout in front of the enemy.
Yu Lian put on his helmet and led the other eleven heraldic machines with steady but domineering steps. Under the attention of all stormtroopers and pilots, he strode onto a nearby assault landing craft. Then
, Yu Lian saw Colonel James Dutt, who was waiting by the hatch, and Lieutenant Anne Romanova, the sweet-smiling former eldest sister of the Stormtroopers in the student union.
... If this girl is not the second helmsman on Eleanor's Aurora, why is she here?
"You..." Yu Lian looked at Dut with a puzzled expression.
"I will be in charge of flying this time. Although I am currently an air combat commander and have also been a fighter test pilot, I was actually born to fly assault craft and orbital bombers." This well-known flying ace of the community said in another line
On the timeline, the man who trained at least hundreds of ace pilots for the Volunteer Army showed a hearty smile.
Yu Lian glanced at Annie again.
"This is a normal dispatch." Feifei said to Yu Lian through a private channel: "After all, you are still a fleet commander now, so there is no need to bother with the personnel transfer of an ordinary pilot."
Anne said in a matter-of-fact tone: "On the Aurora, the junior officer is only the alternate second helmsman, but on such a battlefield, everyone needs to use all their strengths. This is also the responsibility of Commander Bonaparte.
mean."
"Lieutenant Romanova will be my co-pilot. Don't worry, there is no problem with her skills." Colonel Dut said: "I have never seen such a talented pilot."
Yu Lian looked at the direction of the White Devil fighter jet in the distance.
"Oh, Lieutenant Li Baolu and Lieutenant Martha Daken are also geniuses in the field of fighter aircraft piloting. However, there is still a difference between piloting and piloting. Driving a fighter jet is not the same as driving a landing craft, or driving a large ship." Colonel Dutt added.
When Yu Lian looked at the colonel, his expression suddenly became a little subtle.
The other party seemed to have already understood what Yu Lian wanted to say, and said proudly: "I have experience in piloting fighter planes, airships and ships. I must be a compound talent that is rare to see in a century."
How come I didn't know you were wearing this model before? Yu Lian wanted to laugh, but he felt relieved.
Generally speaking, a pilot can only have such natural pride if he has absolute confidence in his own skills.
Just when the psykers were sitting on the airship wearing heraldic machines, and Yu Lian was also wearing his helmet, the real-time battle situation also switched to the window of Yu Lian's helmet.
There was another jump in the sky further away. Immediately afterwards, the predator's flagship Blood War and the huge star-devouring insect jumped into the universe at almost the same moment.
All the ships built by the galactic civilization so far have a huge and towering body. As soon as Pu appeared, he became the natural C position in the entire galaxy, just like a demon that was about to devour the universe.
怆愯瘽璇达纴鐩铓嶆湕畇簲扉涔︽涶濂界敤镄刟pp锛屽挭鍜阒呰hurt
Yu Lian felt that his brows were twitching involuntarily, and he must have vaguely felt the discordant spiritual resonance.
...The thing that controls that star-devouring insect is on the Blood War?
Yes, and they have no way to control long distances across galaxies, so they are probably crowded together in the same gravity well.
"I...it's scary enough on TV, but it's even more exaggerated in real life!" Lieutenant Colonel Nani murmured.
"Don't worry, this guy just looks scary, but as long as we successfully land on its back, there won't be any danger." Yu Lian said with a smile: "It's like an elephant. As long as a mouse gets into his trunk, It will also be at its wits end, that’s the truth.”
Although everyone felt that Yu Lian was deceiving themselves, there was really no evidence, and if you think about it carefully, it might be quite convincing.
Yu Lian continued to observe the battle situation. When his own fleet was less than one standard astronomical unit away from the enemy, the star-eating insect suddenly accelerated, distanced itself from the predator fleet, and turned towards the new Lushun 4 in the distance. Go to the planet.
This is an Earth-like planet in the outermost ring of the New Lushun Galaxy. It is a rocky planet without water and oxygen. Its mass is more than twice that of naturally habitable planets such as the Earth and New Lushun.
Transforming this kind of planet into a livable environment requires huge investment, so no one really lives on it. There are only a few mining plants with thousands of workers stationed there, most of whom are engaged in heavy physical and dangerous work. , they are all sand people brought over from Xinyumen. Of course, they have all been evacuated now.
For the star-devouring insect, such a rocky planet full of minerals would probably be a down-to-earth meal, right? It wouldn't be able to swallow even one ten millionth of the mass of this planet in a full meal, and it could even drill into the interior of the planet. It has been dormant for tens of millions of years, even hiding inside to give birth to children.
If this is true, maybe we can actually lure this star-eating insect out of the battlefield.
However, judging from the movement trajectory of this guy, it will definitely bring the New Lushun Star Port, two deep space refineries, a space laboratory and even the surface of the New Lushun Star into the attack range.
Yu Lian knew about the behavior of Leviathan and disliked all man-made space facilities. He also hated the life living on the surface. Later generations of scientists speculated that this might affect the "taste" of the planet. Based on this, everyone
With its size, it could easily cause a horrific ecological disaster if it spits on the new Lushun.
On the other side, the Predator fleet was obviously not prepared to take care of the Leviathan's actions, or in other words, they had no way to take care of it. After resuming formation with the Bloody Brave, they also headed in the direction of the Aurora
went.
It's hard to say that they didn't notice Yu Lian's movements, but since Warlord Sazaka is a confidant of the Great Khan and a new troll general, he must have a clear mind to not divide his forces to face the enemy at this time.
Stupid thing.
At their current forward speed, the artillery battle will begin in half an hour at most.
In fact, the leading triangular mining machines had already entered the fleet's range.
Yu Lian pondered for two seconds, and at the same time connected the bridge with Major General Marklov who was on the Saratoga: "I hope to let the Scarlet Throne enter the second charge speed and officially start the interception and decapitation of the Star Eater."
Operation. The rest of the fleet continues to enter the established tactical track according to the original plan, and when our landing craft sets off, let the Falcon Squadron and the Qixue Squadron set off too!"
The so-called Falcon Squadron and Coward Squadron, the two Phantom fighters equipped with strong photon jamming bombs, are still on standby aboard the USS Saratoga.
The portraits of Lieutenant Colonel Kong Qingyu and Major General Marklov appeared in the picture-in-picture window. The former nodded slightly with a heavy and solemn expression, while a trace of hesitation flashed across the latter's face.
In fact, when Yu Lian heard that the dreadnought's armor had been repaired and replaced with a new high-power shield, he had already had this idea, and had indeed communicated it with senior officers in advance.
Neither Yang Xiyi nor Marklov immediately agreed, but regarded this as a backup plan.
"Colonel, is this our only choice?" the old general asked.
"Of course there are options. But judging from the current situation, it will be the method with the least loss."
"But this way, your ship will be in danger, and you will be in the greatest danger."
"The Scarlet Throne is not the flagship of the Thirteenth Fleet, it is just a prisoner ship that has not yet been registered with the National Defense Committee. And on the battlefield, isn't it common sense to use the hardest ship to challenge the front?" Yu Lian smiled.
: "As for us... since psychics enjoy the highest treatment in the country, we should be in the greatest danger."
At this point, the veteran had nothing to say. He just smiled and sighed, "As expected of you." Then he said seriously: "It's just a large beast. Of course, it's hunting for the God's Chosen Champion."
On the list. However, I can assure you that those round ancient garbage cannot live longer than that worm."
"I'm extremely lucky to hear this." Yu Lian also smiled.
As a result, the Scarlet Throne broke away from the formation and speeded up again to enter the charge speed. In theory, the aircraft carrier should not have such a function. But don't forget that this ship was originally a long-bearded monster.
The warlord's flagship is a fire-breathing ship, which has strong firepower and high speed.
The scarlet battleship rushed out from behind the brown giant planet, passed directly through the halo, and rushed towards the direction of the star-devouring insect. At that moment, she seemed to have passed through the sea of fire and launched towards the evil dragon.
Like an armored knight charging desperately, his body was still vaguely covered with burning sparks.
This scene was indeed seen by the Marauder battleship.
Five minutes later, three fire-breathing ships and four motherships broke away from the formation and rushed in this direction.
