Even if Brünnhilt and her best friends were planning a decisive attack, they would never have thought that Yu Lian had already made an agreement with Teacher Yang before leaving.
Before setting off with the Earthlings' only dreadnought in the New World, Yu Lian said this: "I estimate that we should arrive at our destination around May 10th, and the error sooner or later will not exceed 24 hours.
.However, that place is also an unknown star field and has been out of Xuan-23’s communication range.”
The so-called Xuan No. 23 refers to the source wave communication terminal that everyone found in the base of the great pirate king "General Bloodwing". Generally speaking, the earth calls this kind of terminal that can cover the star field.
"Xuan level", before it is officially named, just use the level and number to refer to it.
"So, do we need to make an appointment?" With Yang Xiyi's IQ, he naturally understood what Yu Lian meant instantly.
"Yes, if you include the attack on the target, a conservative estimate would be three days. Then, you should have the Thirteenth Fleet set off before the 13th and head towards the star field where the predators disappeared." Yu Liandao
.
In fact, the empire's top officials have officially named that star field the Devil's Labyrinth 001 star field, and it has been recognized by the military of various countries. However, before May, the New Continent, which is always a hindsight, has not yet taken over.
to this news.
"Okay, then before the 13th." Yang Xiyi looked quite indifferent.
"...You don't seem to be worried about the success rate of my trip at all."
"I don't understand psychic powers, let alone interstellar archeology." Yang Xiyi said: "But since Master Youlan is casual, you should be fully prepared, and then you have to rely on God's will. However, even if you fail,
Let Eleanor and her Thirteenth Fleet make a trip, and at least they can record the celestial data of that route nearby. The astronomical data of the new route will not be too little at any time."
In the final analysis, with him taking care of everything, you will never lose money no matter what.
Yu Lian pondered for a moment and then said: "Teacher Yang, I have always had a doubt... Is what we are doing now really beneficial to the community in the long run?"
Compared to Yu Lian's solemn tone, Yang Xiyi was much more relaxed. He even poured himself a cup of black tea mixed with brandy: "Tell me what you think."
"Behind the sky, there may be a lush galaxy rich in resources. Predators are hiding behind and developing."
"Well, I've already guessed this." Yang Xiyi said.
"Did you guess it?"
"It's not just me. Do you think there are no smart people in the empire? Although there is no evidence for this speculation, as long as it is logical, it is worth everyone's investment. I estimate that with the current methods of the empire, we have even begun to discuss this possibility.
Let's formulate the next strategic plan." Yang Xiyi shrugged and took a sip of his black tea: "I have also conveyed this speculation to the earth. I hope the big shots can be more lively this time."
If the big shots in the community were more flexible, they would have been able to take a sidestep and send reinforcements to the New World like the Empire did... Well, but think about it again, the existence of the Thirteenth Fleet was originally the result of a sidestep, so to speak.
Lord Gon is indeed not very kind.
"However, if the sky curtain is lifted and the predators are defeated, wouldn't that star field be equivalent to the Borderlands? We and the empire are the closest to here. It stands to reason that we have the same development conditions, but this may not necessarily be the case.
It’s a good thing.”
"Yes, if we have the same development conditions, we can rush over to enclose the land, which will inevitably cause a conflict of sovereignty." Yang Xiyi said: "The relationship between us and the empire is very delicate, and it may trigger a series of unpredictable consequences.
A chain reaction. More importantly, if there is a sovereignty conflict in the New World, no one can share the pressure with us."
Yu Lian nodded.
Yang Xiyi suddenly changed the subject and sneered: "But, so what? Just because of such wild speculation, why don't you do it? Yu Lian, you are a soldier, and you are still receiving a salary from the community. We
The duty of the New World Defense Command is to defend against intruders, and now it is to detect the traces of the looters. Are you prepared to hide it and do nothing even though you know there are clues? In this case, are you still
Are you qualified to wear this uniform and show off?"
He paused, drank the alcoholic black tea in one gulp, then looked like he was drunk, and half-jokingly said to Yu Lian: "I don't know what your kid is going to do in the future, but no matter what happens,
You probably don’t want your subordinates to do their own thing, right? So, you can’t have double standards as a person.”
"Well, but Teacher Yang, I already have double standards." Yu Lian suddenly showed an expression of embarrassment: "Look, with the efforts of Wayne and Hachiman, the youth club's discipline list has come out, and I also
I don’t have time to attend the study meeting…”
Yang Xiyi laughed and gave Yu Lian a thumbs up: "Yes, at this point, classmate Yu, you are already very much like Inbrato and Basileus! Come on, the teacher is optimistic about you."
Yu Lian felt that this was a bit of a personal attack. Just as he was about to say something, Yang Xiyi said again: "The stupidest thing in the world is because of bad things that may happen in the future.
Don’t do what you should do now. Besides, even if the worst-case scenario does happen, will it necessarily be a bad thing in the longer term?”
"...What you said sounds a bit dangerous!" Yu Lian was speechless.
"No matter how dangerous it is, aren't you the one who started it?" Yang Xiyi said: "You should also understand the story of a blessing in disguise. No matter whether it is a person, a nation or even a country, only those who are tempered by suffering are truly great. Otherwise,
No matter how prosperous it is, it's just a short-lived phantom. Our community actually suffers too little and success is too easy, so it deteriorates so quickly. Yu Lian, don't you think so?"
Yu Lian also laughed and gave the other party a thumbs up: "Teacher Yang, stop pretending, admit it quickly! You are actually an incorrigible magician! Don't touch Ci Zhuangzi in the future.
He’s an old man.”
Of course, magicians are usually pragmatists, and Yang Xiyi is no exception. He never pays attention to things that he cannot intervene in. At most, he only waits for a result. Because of this, Yu Lian feels that he and Teacher Yang should be able to
Very well coordinated.
Of course, he never expected that Teacher Yang would actually send out the entire fleet.
Now, the entire community's fleet strength in the New World only has three destroyers that are still under repair and two armed transport ships. Even he, the top military officer of the community in the New World, wants to travel between New Port Arthur and the New World Highway.
Unsuspecting civilian boats also began to take off.
All in all, the entire community colony appeared defenseless in front of the empire and his cat-man and bird-man brothers. Although it is not certain that the empire must have watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it did serve as an empty city strategy.
Effect.
On the other hand, all the main battleships of the Thirteenth Fleet are in good condition, one Clear Sky-class heavy cruiser, two large aircraft carriers, two light carriers, six Ranger-class cruisers, ten destroyers and ten assault ships.
After several days of traveling day and night, the troops finally arrived at the end of the Demon Palace route on May 17.
This route was naturally explored by the Blizzard after chasing the main force of the Predators. Because it leads to the Devil's Maze Starfield hidden in the unknown nebula, it got this name. Of course, this official name has just been adopted by various countries.
The high-level officials have just finalized it, and everyone in the New World doesn't know yet.
In fact, after more than three months of all-round exploration by various reconnaissance teams, the Demon Palace Route has actually identified three relatively stable routes, but all of them point to this galaxy that the Imperial Army has temporarily named "Blizzard YS".
It is a common practice that has been practiced throughout the galaxy for thousands of years. Unless there are any special circumstances, newly discovered galaxies are named after the discoverer or himself.
Snowstorm YS is the end of the channel. Although there is clearly an obvious gravity well signal in this galaxy, like a bridge across the galaxy. However, everyone knows that once the ship sails into it,
, you will definitely be trapped in the magic palace maze, just like a mosquito falling into a spider web. If you don’t have a top navigator, you will definitely be swallowed up by this confusing nebula maze.
This is a fact proven by the fact that the reconnaissance forces of various countries spent several months and paid the price of four destroyers and two light cruisers getting lost and lost contact.
So, should we continue? The officers of the Thirteenth Fleet looked at the vast nebula directly in front of them. The starry sky in front of them showed a gorgeous green jade color, as if full of vitality and competition among all things.
They were full of emotions. If it were normal times, they would be excited about broadening the boundaries of civilization. But now, the soldiers always feel like they are standing in front of a giant beast that devours the world, wondering whether to
Jump into the opponent's bloody mouth.
Even the Thirteenth Fleet is a strong force that emerged from the bloody sea of the battlefield. Facing this scene is also very psychologically stressful. Of course, most of this is to scare themselves, but we must also know that most of human beings
Fear, doesn’t it still scare yourself?
"Sir Yang, what you mean is that after arriving in the Blizzard YS galaxy, we will act according to the situation?" Major General Marklov asked his young "deputy".
Brigadier General Eleanor Bonaparte, who wrote "deputy" and pronounced "commander", nodded and said: "He said that this devil's labyrinth laid by the predators may have been cracked. If so, we should build it before the empire.
Outposts, if possible, should also bury gravitational wave relays and deep space detectors in galaxies at key nodes."
So, the question now becomes, how can we be sure that this devilish maze that has kept everyone wandering for several months has been solved?
The officers attending the meeting stared at each other for a few minutes, and then a captain of the light cruiser patted his chest and expressed his willingness to go there and give it a try. His face shone like a martyr, as if he had made a decision.
It seemed like the most tragic and greatest decision in my life.
This is indeed the case. No one can guarantee that if he sails into the maze, he will become one of those lost and lost.
"I'd better go," Eleanor said in a calm tone.
After all, this is a risky task with a huge gambling nature. Faced with this situation, some leaders will leave the risk to their subordinates to deal with it, and hide in a safe place until there is a profit before jumping out. Some leaders
Everything is borne by oneself, and whether it is risk or limelight is another matter. Eleanor has always been the latter.
However, going to the Devil's Maze and leading a charge were two different things. All the officers present at the meeting were shocked and rushed around to persuade them, but for a while no one could convince the other.
But at this moment, a gravitational fluctuation signal came from the gravity well opposite. Everyone quickly ended the meeting and returned to their posts to prepare for battle.
Five minutes later, a silver-gray Imperial battleship was seen emerging from the gravity well. Everyone quickly recognized that this was an Imperial Envoy-class light cruiser, although it was a type of cruiser that had been in service for more than thirty years.
It is an old ship type, but its performance is still excellent. It is a high-speed and high-aware warship, which is very suitable for long-distance reconnaissance.
Soon, the detector on the Weatherlight had enlarged and projected the entire image of the opponent on the screen. It was a battleship riddled with scars and holes, and the condition was so miserable that even a die-hard anti-imperialist like Eleanor
It's a bit unbearable. However, a battleship that was damaged like this can still sail in the universe and even pass through a gravity well. This is a living advertisement for the Empire's shipbuilding technology.
Everyone soon saw the hull number on the side of the ship. The coat of arms and handwriting were all blurred, but the number 177 could be barely made out.
"Luzhou No. 177?" A captain quickly responded: "Hasn't that ship been out of contact for more than two months?"
Before everyone could finish digesting the news, the gravity well on the opposite side fluctuated again, and then, two larger warships also jumped out. With a long appearance and a pipeline structure that had no smooth feeling, there were still some cracks in many places.
The fragments wrapped around the asteroid looked like ugly and irregular space junk. But even so, the densely packed gunports at the front of the ship exuded a daunting sense of oppression.
That is the heavy cruiser of the predator. Of course, if we are more rigorous, it should be said to be a "medium fire-breathing ship".
This was the first time that everyone in the Thirteenth Fleet had met the Predator fleet in three months. However, when the object of their dreams suddenly appeared in front of them, everyone's hearts were filled with a subtle sense of surreality.
, I always felt that everything I saw was extraordinary. So, the Community warships that had been lined up to attack suddenly fell silent for several seconds.
Of course, the two predator warships were also startled, and they made a sudden stop on the spot. The hull, which looked extremely ugly and clumsy in appearance, actually made a flexible emergency stop.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luzhou 177 sped up to get rid of the predators' pursuit, but did not come over to meet up with the Earth battleship. She did not even say hello, but only flashed a few friendly signals symbolically, and then went around directly.
After passing the front of the Thirteenth Fleet, they ran away in the direction they came from, as if to say: "You didn't see me, you didn't see me, you didn't see me, and I didn't see you! We didn't see you at all!"
I’ve never encountered that before!”
It wasn't until the Imperial warship was out of range of the Thirteenth Fleet that Eleanor finally laughed out loud: "Imperial devils are so rude."
Mr. Marklov was a kind man. He suppressed a smile and explained: "It's easy to understand. The majestic imperial warship showed such a tragic situation in front of us. It is a shame and humiliation for them. Of course, it can only be treated as if it has never happened before."
Saw us."
Eleanor agreed and laughed heartily: "Send them a signal and wish them a safe journey!"
