interstellar fairy tale

Chapter 137

"Counterattack! In battle formation, don't panic!"

The Mars voyage fleet encountered the biggest trouble during the voyage. Most of the warships landed behind the supply star, and a fleet suddenly attacked them from behind.The warships that had already landed had no time to set sail, and they were isolated from the attacked fleet by the protective barrier suddenly activated by the supply star. Some captains were quick-witted and immediately opened the hatch to release a single-man fighter unit. He rushed out before it was completely closed, but unexpectedly, four huge beams of light rose on the flat ground around the parking area, forming transparent nets between the beams, no matter what efforts the single fighter pilot made, even if the speed was increased to almost The extent of burning the energy capsule is still unable to really rush out.It was as if they had bumped their heads into an invisible wall, and the instant powerful impact almost caused the one-man fighter to lose control.

"A bunch of poor lost lambs."

Lord leisurely tasted the medium-rare steak. The bloody fresh meat was cut into a size suitable for the mouth. His snow-white teeth were chewing on the piece of meat wrapped in delicious sauce. wine.

Putting the last piece of meat into his mouth, Lord wiped the corners of his mouth with a white napkin, and the thick black beard on his upper lip was smoothed.Unlike most business group owners, Lord is not only keen on wealth, but also likes to shuttle through artillery fire. This man, who was born in the space pirate gang in his early years and later swore allegiance to Goodwill, is looking at the battleship screen like a shark. The Mars voyage fleet was driven to a desperate situation.

"Tell Hagrid and Chicory to do what they like to do. Your Excellency the Governor will pay us quite generously. Also, don't give orders to the fleet sent by the Governor. They have their own commanders."

Lord's words were not an order, but an incitement.These men who have the status of a completely legal business group, but never forget the space piracy, are like piranhas that smell blood, trying to swallow the besieged Mars space fleet.

The Mars voyage fleet, which was suddenly attacked, did not immediately fall into despair and panic as Lord expected. The Mars warriors who have gone through the test of blood and fire have always dared to face any conspiracy and challenge.Even if they lose their lives, just like Hansen, Apollo and others who died in the battle with the Golden Empire fleet, they are soldiers, swearing allegiance to their home planet, and defending the dignity of soldiers with their bodies and blood!

After receiving Lord's order, Hagrid and Chicoli ordered to approach the divided fleet at full speed and stay outside the planet.Now, in terms of numbers, the long-distance fleet is completely at a disadvantage!These greedy space pirates opened the gun doors of all the battleships, aimed at the Mars expedition fleet in defensive formation, and fired salvos.

The Mars Expeditionary Fleet responded immediately. The high-density laser and particle rays collided with each other at a terrifying speed, and they exploded silently in the universe. The charging warship and the defending warship were hit almost simultaneously, and fierce sparks burst out from time to time. The shattered parts of the battleship and the soldiers who lost their lives began to dye the black universe red.Due to the lack of energy, the long-distance fleet was at a disadvantage from the very beginning. After several rounds of bombardment, most of the outer battleships were blown into two pieces or even became floating fragments in the universe. with scars.However, the battleship attacking them launched a more violent bombardment at this time. The battleship blocked on the planet also found that there were suddenly more troops around it. Small airships and armed land vehicles surrounded the battleships in the parking area. .Huge battleships that can't fly, and can't be used as a fixed fortress, there is nothing to do with these guys like ant colonies, but you have to be vigilant from time to time to be bitten by them.However, these airships were just cruising outside the beam of light, as if they were looking for something.

"damn it!"

Major General Charles was so angry that he swears. The noble general who always pays attention to etiquette can't maintain a good manner at this moment.The current situation is extremely bad. They almost stepped into each other's trap with their eyes closed. Even if they took precautions in advance, they were still deep in the mud.Major General Charles and several middle-level officers have repeatedly asked Major General Edgar to command some warships to carry out suicide attacks and tear a hole in the opponent's encirclement. This is the only way to rescue some people at this moment.But Major General Edgar did not agree for a long time.

In just a few minutes, another part of the warships withdrew from the battle.

"No... no!"

Major General Edgar frowned, watched the battle situation, and suddenly said loudly: "The opponent has been compressing the fleet. They don't want to completely destroy us, but want to catch us!"

The command room fell silent instantly. Major General Charles let out a "ha" laugh and refuted loudly: "What are you kidding, respected commander?! Don't you see the bombed warships and dead soldiers? huh?! If you are still trying to save your life, then let me lead my soldiers into that group of greedy wolves! We are soldiers of Mars, and we won’t just live in mere existence after consoling ourselves!”

"Major General Charles, please be careful!"

Colonel William put away his usual gentleness, the situation has become so bad that there is no need to delay, the two commanders can no longer quarrel, otherwise they will both die.Colonel William would have no complaints if he died in battle with fleets from other planets, but Colonel William would never be reconciled to dying in a conspiracy!I believe that all Mars soldiers are unwilling to accept such a fateful ending.

"It's not unfounded." Major General Edgar ignored Charles' provocation and continued: "Yes, they set up a conspiracy from the very beginning and attacked us despicably and shamelessly, but from the beginning of the battle, they targeted Battleship and cruiser attacks, very little bombardment of command ships, especially the eye-catching flagship! If they really intended to kill us all, no commander with a brain would make such a mistake! The flagship is The soul of the fleet. Leaving the flagship aside, or even deliberately avoiding it, and attacking the battleships and frigates, isn't it clear what they want to do?"

"what do you mean……"

"Yes, they want to capture us. No, it should be said, they want to capture the flagship of the fleet!"

"Capture us? This group of shameful conspirators and pirates?!" Major General Charles angrily tore off the discipline button of his collar, "They can't even think about it!"

Major General Edgar turned his head and looked at Colonel William. Compared with Major General Charles, who was almost out of reason at the moment, he believed that this colonel who had followed Colonel Apollo and worked with Apollo as a staff member could make a rational decision. judge.

William did not disappoint him.

"If this is the case..." Colonel William said with difficulty: "If this is the case, we have almost no hope of escaping."

"How is it possible?! Organization..."

"Organize a suicide attack?!" Major General Edgar severely interrupted Major General Charles, "What about the fleet and personnel that were trapped on the planet?! Did we escape and leave them to the enemy!?"

Major General Edgar's sudden anger silenced everyone in the command room.At this moment, the situation on the battlefield has begun to tilt. Even if the only one-man fighter that can launch an effective attack organizes assaults again and again, losing nearly half of its members, it still cannot break through the opponent's firepower net.

Austin South's single-man fighter unit is the only combat unit that still maintains a complete organizational system. After flying back to the battleship again to replenish energy, these young lads flew to the enemy ship again, and rushed towards the nearest enemy ship in a shuttle shape. An enemy battleship, the other party was busy chasing a wounded battleship, ignoring these fast, almost ghost-like single-man fighters, the fighters hit the energy compartment of the third section of the battleship continuously, and the violent explosion almost The one-man fighter that launched the attack was also involved.

"The sixth ship!"

The enthusiastic cheers of the members of the fighter squadron reached Austin's ears along the communication channel, but the young captain could only swallow the unspoken words bitterly.No matter how many warships they destroy, the outcome of this battle is already doomed.They lack energy, and the frequency of shelling by the battleship is significantly lower than that of the opponent, and there is a trend of getting weaker and weaker.Even if the soldiers are brave, what is the use of shelling more accurately than the opponent?Ants can kill elephants too!

Perhaps Major General Edgar already had a premonition that there might be trouble coming to the supply star this time, but too many factors forced them to come even though they knew there would be danger here.Now, the danger is really coming. Mars is on the other side of the distant universe. They are like a group of people abandoned in the universe. No one can help them. The only one who can help them is himself!

A flash of determination flashed in Austin's dark green eyes, and the words Shang Ping once said to him sounded again in his ears: "Live, Austin, live." Thinking of the parting kiss of the black-haired boy, the one who was once captured by the empire but still lived strong Come down boy, he can do the same!If he can't even do this, he doesn't deserve to stand by Shang Ping's side!

Austin clearly knows that the entire fleet is short of energy at this moment, which is also an important reason why the long-distance fleet is at a disadvantage in the bombardment battle with the opponent's fleet. In this case, they must look for other opportunities besides confrontation!

Austin positioned the radar of the fighter jet to the right of the center of the enemy fleet. There was a huge warship there. It's there, but no one can threaten it!

Can't threaten him?

Austin narrowed his eyes slightly, and ordered all members of the fighter unit to descend two combat altitudes immediately, and at the same time summoned the nearest nearby cruiser to provide cover for the fighter unit. The commander of this cruiser was a lieutenant colonel. With a serious face on the young captain's face, he agreed without the slightest hesitation.Half of the cruiser's turret was destroyed, and it was used as a cover for a one-man fighter. All the personnel on the cruise ship did not raise any objection.The two nearby warships also approached, and the three ships formed a simple zigzag formation. The huge hull hid the entire fighter squadron in the shadow behind them, and used the huge hull to resist the fierce artillery fire. , rushed towards the enemy fleet like a martyr, and even pulled two enemy battleships to their deaths when the hull exploded.

Finally, Austin's fighter unit was getting closer and closer to the command ship, and almost no one on both sides noticed the whereabouts of this small group of single fighters on the battlefield.Just when Austin was about to approach the command ship and launch an attack, a sudden change occurred!The warships trapped on the planet suddenly found that the surrounding airships and land vehicles began to evacuate, and the protective cover above their heads seemed to be opened. They didn't care about whether it was another conspiracy, and instinctively controlled the warships to take off at the maximum speed and rush to Our own fleet is in a tough battle!Major General Edgar saw this scene, and rushed to the podium with a roar: "Tell them to stop, stop immediately!"

Everything is too late...

Three huge beams of light followed behind these battleships. The dazzling white light enveloped the entire battleships, and the huge explosion sent out wave after wave of terrifying shock waves in the universe.In the violent shock, the armor of the flagship shell that was originally surrounded by the center of the fleet cracked. Everyone in the flagship fell to the ground in the terrible shock and shaking, and dazzling sparks erupted on the podium. Major General Edgar , Major General Charles was scratched by shattered glass and metal fragments, Colonel William was crushed to the ground by the adjutant of staff, while the person protecting him had stopped breathing, and a piece of shattered metal was directly inserted into his heart.

The fleet of Lord Merchant Group also stopped attacking. Apparently, it was the fleet sent by the 670th Bahuoxing Governor who launched this surprise attack. Only they have such terrible anti-aircraft guns.After confirming that the besieged fleet did not have the command ship they were looking for, these people immediately used these fleets as targets for guiding coordinates. They knew that once these warships escaped, they would immediately return to the command ship to fight, so let Let them use their last bit of heat.

Seeing this scene, Lord once again realized how terrifying the governor was, and he deserved to be a man who dared to fight against the entire empire.Until the shock wave stopped, the entire battlefield had become dead silent.

"Hopefully the man the Governor is looking for is alive."

Lord felt a toothache. In any case, this matter was done by someone sent by the governor himself. If the person he was looking for died, he shouldn't cause trouble for himself, right?

Lord ordered a part of the fleet to stay to clean up the outer battlefield and remove the remnants of the enemy, and the other part went to the command ship. He did not intend to send anyone into the command ship. After confirming that all the turrets were damaged, he simply pulled the ship out with a tow rope. The command ship was firmly tied up, and then fifteen large transport ships were used to forcefully pull it out of the wreckage of other warships.

Taking advantage of the relaxation of these pirates, Austin decisively gave up the attack.Leading his one-man fighter squadron, he turned around and flew towards the transport ship stranded behind Lord's fleet.They don't take part in the battle, they are only responsible for energy delivery, and they also accommodate the pirates driving the escape pods. At this moment, the surroundings of these transport ships are in chaos.The escape pods of some pirates are very similar to the appearance of a single-man fighter, and Austin intends to mix with one of the transport ships.

Sesia Governor's Palace

Soran Aldrich's visit to Sesia was very different from Namt and Horhold.In the two days since he arrived in Sesia, he was very busy every day.Harlan?Edrich reported the situation of Sesia and several mines to the emperor in detail. As the emperor's cousin and a member of the royal family of Edrich, he was able to grasp the proportion and scale of this better than others.

"Your Majesty, it is said that you have found a new source of power stones?"

"kindness."

Soran Edrich nodded. From the very beginning, he didn't intend to hide this matter from Harlan. However, Soran Edrich didn't intend to let him know about the deal with Goodwill.At least not yet.

"I made a deal with the governor of the 670th Bahuo Planet."

"With whom?"

Harlan?Edrich couldn't believe his ears, did he hear correctly?Is His Majesty the Emperor making a deal with the 670th governor of the Eight Hulks?

"My dear cousin, you heard me right."

"Your Majesty, does Earl Reichardt know about this?" The Prime Minister spared no effort in supporting His Majesty the Emperor's attack on the 670th Bahuo planet, and now His Majesty the Emperor wants to make a deal with the rebel governor of this Huo planet?

"It's not necessary." Soran Edrich looked at Harlan with a half-smile?Edrich didn't look away until the other party started to feel very uncomfortable, "I am the emperor of the empire."

Harlan?Aldrich once again saw the waywardness of the great dictator.

"What's more, as long as it's beneficial to the empire, Earl Reichardt won't mind, and neither will anyone else."

Well, don't mind.Harlan?Edrich was very skeptical, it should be more appropriate to replace the word "wouldn't" with "dare not".

Compared with the power stone, Harlan?Edrich is also very interested in another thing.

"Your Majesty, I would like to take the liberty to ask, what do you think about that black-haired boy? He seems to be underage..."

"...Harlan? Edrich!"

"Your Majesty, I'm just curious. What's more, you have always acted in an 'open and aboveboard' manner. Presumably, Empress Dowager Yilan has already received the news."

Soran Aldrich looking at Harlan?Edrich, the other even winked at him.Soran Aldrich was seriously considering whether to shorten Harlan's time in Starleader so that he could return to the army as soon as possible.The young emperor thought that the work he had given to his cousin was still too little, so he was interested in learning from those boring court nobles who went around gossiping.

The busyness of Soran Edrich in Sesia made Shangping no longer need to cheer up to deal with the emperor all day long.Although Soran Edrich didn't say anything to Shang Ping, from the attendant's attitude and arrangements for himself during this time, Shang Ping still felt something was wrong.Shang Ping began to feel the danger, and this feeling became more and more clear.He tentatively asked Soran Edrich if he could let him contact Shangyu, but His Majesty the Emperor readily agreed and sent him a communicator.

Shang Ping stared in astonishment at the small device inlaid with gemstones, only half the size of his palm, did Soran Edrich have a brain twitch?Shang Ping suddenly had a very strange feeling, the emperor seemed to be pampering him?

Is he thinking too much?

In any case, the communicator was a surprise, but after contacting Shangyu, Shangping made the move to smash this thing!

Looking at the virtual images of Shangyu showing him gifts one by one, Shang Ping once again secretly had the idea of ​​killing his father.

"Honey, do you know where I am now?"

Under Shangping's puzzled eyes, Shangyu walked to the window, opened the window, and showed Shangping the scene outside the window.

"Speaking of which, baby, you have always lived in Mars, haven't you been to the Federation of Free Cities? There are a lot of good things here, do you like the gift Dad prepared for you? Do you want to kiss Dad?"

With a snap, the communicator was roughly turned off, and then thrown into the corner.

Federation of Free Cities?What did his cheap daddy do there?

For some reason, Shang Ping always felt that nothing good would happen if his father, who hated Mars to the core, suddenly ran to the Federation of Free Cities.
