At this time, the high-level military leaders of the Empire and the Community had of course reached a consensus. The Earth side sent the route information collected by Major Horatio Venn to the Empire. The latter of course reciprocated, expressing this kind of detour.
Although it was possible to escape the pincer offensive of outflanking and flanking both sides, it was also possible to achieve absolute military exploits. He hoped to share it with the "Allies", so he invited the community to send a fleet to join the operation.
According to common sense, the Community side should appoint Vice Admiral Picard to command the Tenth Fleet to take on this task. However, I don’t know what the Earth side thought about it. The final result reported was that Bonaparte
Ah no, Rear Admiral Marklov's Thirteenth Fleet participated in the joint operation.
This is a small guard fleet that has only been established for two years. Although it has great military achievements, its scale is limited after all. It is essentially designed to deal with pirates.
More importantly, this fleet has just completed its mission of patrolling the supply channel and is currently undergoing repairs in New Lushun. It will probably take another week to arrive here.
What's more important is that ordinary soldiers of the Imperial Army may not realize it yet, but well-informed senior officials will naturally think of the Far Shore Nebula whenever they see this small fleet and their flagship...
Even Brunhild, who prides himself on being magnanimous, can't help but feel disgusted: "These earthlings are only very talented at irritating people!"
"I don't think Admiral Conneris meant this. He probably just didn't want to give this credit to Vice Admiral Picard's Tenth Fleet." Miss Chief of Staff made a different judgment.
I have to admit that Miss Ostana Barr's guess is actually quite insightful. In addition, I have to admit that the discord at the highest level of the community is clearly visible even to the Imperial Army opposite. It is really full of insects.
"Although the size of the Thirteenth Fleet is not large, the people and ships are all elite, so we can expect a battle." Giafel also advised.
Under the advice of her two best friends, one civil and one military, Brünnhilt accepted this friendly force with a pinched nose. However, she, who works vigorously and resolutely, would not stupidly wait for this squadron, which was only the size of her squadron.
The friendly forces arrived and started taking action at their own pace early.
With the channel given to them by the Community, they quickly passed through the DL33 galaxy where Major General Sameta died, and arrived at the Dl35 galaxy at the end of the currently known channel in a smooth journey.
Of course, through the information left by the sacrificed Star Officer Major General Sameta, the Imperial Navigation Department has determined the movement traces of the missing ancient holy ship. Based on these mysterious and mysterious silicon bases, the Science Department used star map positioning and data calculations,
Finally, I spent a circle around an inconspicuous point in this galaxy and determined the location of the new gravity well with difficulty.
If nothing else happens, this should be the entrance to the third channel that can bypass the Devil's Throat front line and reach the hinterland of the star field.
But, generally speaking, in this case, there are always surprises.
This gravity well belongs to the kind of unstable channel that jumps left and right in the state of collapse and expansion every day. It should be marked with a dotted line on the star chart.
The scientific departments of the two armies cooperated sincerely this time. After a week of 007 work and the sacrifice of several measuring apes, a rough collapse law was finally given.
The reason why it is "approximately" is because for such astronomical conditions, it is often necessary to roughly confirm a safe value in years. Many dotted gravity well channels in the Milky Way are not even used even a hundred years after they were discovered.
For civilian use.
"Moreover, even at the maximum value, it is difficult to bear the entire jump of a large-scale fleet." The head of the survey department reported less optimistic news.
"With the size of our fleet, we need to do it in batches at least fifteen times, which will take at least more than five hours."
The so-called "our fleet" is of course not the main force of the Imperial fleet, but just the "partial division" brought by Brunhildt. It consists of 1 Titan ship, 5 dreadnoughts, 8 battle cruisers, 6 large aircraft carriers, and
There are more than 400 small and medium-sized warships of various types. Under the two poles, this is already the size of a fleet that can destroy a country.
Considering that pincer combat is flanked by two sides, what is needed is a deep breakthrough, and the ship fleet needs endurance, so there is no way to carry a large number of small assault ships to the sea.
Of course, Brynhil is a wild type when it comes to using troops. She feels that only fools can close the distance and engage in hand-to-hand combat with trolls, long-bearded demons, and Ero people, so naturally they will not bring these gang-hopping specialties.
It’s a small battleship. If the enemy is a Mulan or a Toss merchant group who are good at maneuvering but weak in health, they might bring a sea full of assault ships.
But no matter how dangerous the entrance is, the entrance is the entrance. For this reason, the Imperial Expeditionary Force is like a hungry tiger that must prey on porcupines to satisfy its hunger. There will be no reason to give up if there are any flaws.
Brunhilt only thought about it for a few minutes before making up his mind: "If I were the Khan of the Predators, I would definitely try every means to kill and injure our effective forces. Since this is a pass system where it is difficult to deploy troops, they
There should be a pocket formation there waiting for us to enter."
"The first fleet that enters the galaxy will definitely encounter a head-on attack." Giafiel said.
There is no way, inter-system fleet battles are sometimes very similar to bridge battles or beach landing battles. The vanguard troops who want to establish a beachhead will naturally pay the heaviest price.
Ostana Barr glanced at the people present, and soon her eyes fell on Major General Olivia Rowentour, who had a pair of enchanting and gorgeous heterochromatic eyes. This young female general who is aggressive, sassy and A,
In fact, he is a calm-minded general with clear thinking and a focus on the balance of offense and defense. He can escape at critical moments and is also very good at escaping. The squadron under her command also includes a batch of new special frigates with rough skin and thick shields.
It's long-lasting, and its speed is actually pretty good. Its survivability is maxed out, so it's suitable for use on the front lines to explore paths.
Olivier gave Miss Chief of Staff a dissatisfied look. Although they were both "girlfriends" of King Suliuka, these two people were actually a bit disgusted with each other, but the former had to admit that the other party was not a business-to-private relationship.
Regardless of the person, he is indeed the best candidate, so he is ready to recommend himself.
However, before he could speak, Brunhild heard Brunhild say: "In this case, of course, this ship will be the leader!"
Well, for such a counter-intuitive thing, it was strange that no one here was surprised. Everyone looked like "Come on, come on." Even Giafel himself just covered his face and let out a long sigh.
Naturally, everyone hurriedly gathered around and tried to persuade me, but everyone knew that persuasion was impossible, so they all felt helpless as if it was a routine matter.
No, His Royal Highness King Suliuka said in a matter-of-fact tone: "The reason why the Dawn Angel is designed like this is just for today's situation? This is the will of the spirit of the universe!"
So, at 7:15 a.m. on August 15th, standard time, all the officers and men of the Imperial Fleet commanded by Brunhildt had finished their breakfast and began to move towards the unknown star system at the other end of the channel.
In full view of the entire army, the Dawn Angel, along with three particularly large dreadnoughts, took the lead in forming a line, and then disappeared into the gravity well channel.
Yeager Soback, who was on the Buran, looked at this scene and felt that even if he had exhausted all the courage in his life, he would never be so reckless. However, he had to admit that a dignified election emperor
It is indeed very heart-breaking to take the lead in this way.
However, can I really get along with a lord who is so reckless that he can break through the stars with his head?
When he thought of this, Soback began to doubt his choice. He was not only worried about King Suliuka's safety, but also began to worry about his future career development.
Fortunately, within half an hour, he no longer had to worry about these issues.
Soback's temporary superior, the admiral of the mobile squadron, Rear Admiral Wolfna Maimeda, sent an instant message from his flagship, the battlecruiser Wolf.
This female general with short honey-colored hair looks more than ten years younger than her actual age, probably because she is petite and has a round baby face. If she were not wearing a straight general uniform,
, maybe he will be regarded as a middle school student.
But at this time, her expression was serious, her demeanor was awe-inspiring, and her sharp edge was revealed, like a sharp sword that had just been unsheathed and was about to drink blood.
"We will set off as the second fleet. This ship will be the first to pass through the gravity well! If I die in battle, you will be the next in line to take over the command of the fleet!" Rear Admiral Maimeda said.
Soback felt for a moment that he was hearing hallucinations.
Didn't we agree that we are from the general reserve team?
The other party seemed to see Soback's suspicion and explained: "The Blizzard where your noble officer is located is a support battleship for the Astral Knights' special attack. It has a high-power gravitational wave generator and processor.
, being the first to arrive on the battlefield will help us establish a smooth command network across the galaxy."
Unexpectedly, I was actually stabbed by my loyal Blizzard!
Yeager Soback almost cried and decided to change ships after this battle.
But at this time, Captain Hongshan had already gone to do his work silently.
Five minutes later, the battlecruiser Wolf, painted silver-gray with a hint of red stripes, began to gallop forward like a knight wearing a red ribbon. Soback's Buran followed in a standard charge formation.
From its side and behind, it looks like the retinue following behind the knight master.
In Sobek's sight, the starlight in the sky turned into dotted lines. Then, the locations of those starlights were no longer clearly visible, as if they merged into a blurry mist.
Immediately afterwards, the mist disappeared instantly as if it had encountered direct sunlight. A scarlet star's light poured into the end of his sight.
He immediately felt the vibration of the hull under his feet, but it was the reaction shield around the ship that automatically activated when it encountered an enemy attack. Soback quickly regained his composure, and the perception of the three-ring "navigator" allowed him to quickly discover eight
Source of high-energy reactions in the o'clock direction.
However, before he could order a counterattack, the Wolf in front had already launched a salvo at the distant point, causing a series of explosions.
"Turn on the gravitational wave generator and connect the rear code!" Soback said loudly.
In this way, the entire Buran will become a mobile gravitational wave beacon, which will not only connect the galaxy behind it, but also make the fleet command in the local galaxy smoother.
Of course, no matter how we do it, it will definitely not be able to compare with the magical effect of cross-light-year instant communication that can be achieved by the Enlightenment's black technology such as the seismic wave, but this is also the limit of what their civilization of this generation can strive to achieve.
Soback then saw the scene in space further away. The Angel of Dawn was like a golden god of war, leading the dreadnought swaggering through the orbit of the gas giant planet at the outermost edge of the galaxy, taking an unknown number of enemy ships away.
Little by little, it was suppressed into the dense ice crystal asteroid belt further inside.
However, the enemy's interception force deployed here is definitely not that simple. At least, just on the front of the Buran, the early warning radar showed at least hundreds of hostile signal reactions.
Immediately afterwards, countless enemy ships the size of destroyers rushed over at extremely high speeds and penetrated into the gaps between our own giant ships, completely confusing the situation.
"This is not a raider ship!" Captain Hongshan shouted loudly.
If Yu Lian, Yang Xiyi or any officer of the Thirteenth Fleet were here, they would definitely feel very friendly - these things, aren't they the automatic mining drones that caused a lot of trouble for everyone in the New Battle of Lushun?
A fleet?
The only "weapons" of these mechanical ghosts left over from the Age of Enlightenment are only for mining. Their range is limited, but their power is not small. They are perfect for closing the distance and fighting with people.
So, what should I do now? Only then did Yeager Soback realize that he had made a lot of military exploits in detail, but it seemed that he had not really opened up in such a head-on decisive battle with a large fleet.
The posture and the enemy are left alone.
He was in a daze for a few seconds, and quickly accelerated to catch up with Major General Maimida's Wolf. While he was in the distance, he continued to throw a series of artillery shells and dense missiles at the signal source he was approaching, forming an isolation zone. He
Still a little worried, he fired another anti-matter mine at the point where the Wolf had just bombarded.
Soback didn't know if what he was doing was right, but common sense told him that when he didn't know what to do, it was always okay to fire in the direction where the enemy was coming.
Just after the antimatter material spread into a blazing white light in the distant airspace of more than 100,000 kilometers away from his own fleet, he received another notification from Major General Maimeda.
The female general said in a matter-of-fact tone: "We have to retreat now, put out all the gravitational wave beacons, and then stand by the gravity well to prepare to cover the retreat of our fleet."
It turns out that the so-called fleet decisive battle involves jumping left and right like this... ah no, is it just a matter of playing it by ear?
Before Soback could express his opinion, the Wolf continued to shoot and drove back in reverse. And further away from the enemy, the majestic Angel of Dawn also led the dreadnoughts in an invincible manner.
The momentum of a thousand armies attacking Yi was heading in this direction.
If it weren't for the constant shelling from the enemy fleet behind them, Soback would have thought that his side had defeated the enemy and returned in triumph.
However, Major General Maimeda seemed very satisfied and said to Soback: "Very good. Although this battle did not achieve all the goals, it was at least 70% completed. I also appreciate your efforts and loyalty.
Thank you for your cooperation. Please remain in your original fighting position and be prepared to escape."
Is it allowed to say the word "escape" on the battlefield?
Yeager Soback felt as if he had been connected to the world, and he had gained some understanding of the true way of a famous general.
