Him and their stars

When the "dragon who cannot even mention his name" destroyed the bridge of Grand Commander Witte with a terrifying method that seemed like divine punishment, he probably thought that this was enough, so he rode the star dragon phantom beast raised by the Empire and turned his head in front of the frightened imperial soldiers, flapping his wings that did not recognize any relatives, and left with satisfaction.

After meeting up with his companion riding another flame-winged dragon, he returned directly to the Pilgrimage.

Then, this special warship built by the Empire with a lot of money turned the bow with a carefree attitude and left.

Their actions of leaving were so cool, as if they had never worried about being bombarded from behind by the Imperial Army, let alone being chased.

This is exactly the case. The Silver Knight-class battlecruiser with a wound, and the Grand Commander Witte, which was headless but could still cruise, fire, and even charge, were all like being immobilized and stayed where they were.

When the survivors on the dreadnought finally remembered to issue orders, the Relic had already left the main gun range.

"Do you want to start chasing?" The chief engineer asked the remaining commanders on the ship tremblingly.

"Chase? What for? It's not easy to save your life, cherish it! You must know how to cherish it!" The second mate wailed loudly.

Because the headquarters and the captain's room were wiped out, the command of the Grand Commander naturally fell into the hands of the second mate. This is a young officer who just turned 30, a child of a noble family who came to gild himself.

To be honest, his technical and theoretical levels are still good; but he is indeed here to gild himself.

To be honest, he reacted very quickly and quickly ordered the closure of the isolation chamber leading to the bridge, and finally controlled the damage to a very small range; but he was still here to gild.

The young second mate did not even ask for the opinion of the deputy commander in the rear, Major General Tuckers, and directly took his warship to make a 180-degree turn and opened the warship on the spot. Such behavior, I don’t know whether it should be called cowardice or decisiveness.

Since even the Grand Commander is like this, what can the remaining two Silver Knights do? If they don’t open the warship together, wouldn’t it be too disrespectful to Grand Commander Witt?

Of course, perhaps the action of opening the warship was not perfect, and it caused the force field disorder in the gravity well on the spot. This is actually a typical phenomenon of jump overload and hyperspace channel blockage.

If the Imperial Army was not well-trained and quickly restarted the jump engine and adjusted the legendary parameters, I am afraid that a few unlucky ones would be caught in the space turbulence and torn into particles.

When the Grand Commander and his fellow cruisers finally recovered a little, the outpost reconnaissance fleet, consisting of eight cruisers, also hurried back.

They were suddenly bombarded by the Athena formation in the galaxy ahead. Looking at the momentum of the other side, it didn't seem like they were intercepting them, but they clearly wanted to swallow them up.

After measuring the power gap between the two sides, the commander of the outpost fleet certainly made a very pragmatic judgment and immediately turned around. In fact, even according to the Empire's combat regulations, the outpost reconnaissance fleet should retreat at this time and wait for support from the main team.

When they returned, of course, they also received a notice that the flagship in the rear was attacked, and their own radar even confirmed the location of the Relic, but they did not dare to act rashly.

It is said that when the dragon ship passed by them less than half an astronomical unit away, the officers and soldiers on the fleet had already begun to pray to the spirit of the universe.

Fortunately, the dragon ship was like a lion that had just eaten a whole antelope and was full of wine and food. It had no interest in the passing rabbit and disappeared into the other side of the starry sky.

The above is the whole process of the Karaman fleet shrinking back to the X2 galaxy in fear and not daring to move.

Jaeger Sobek now knows why the main force of the enemy fleet in front has not moved.

If only one ship moved, it would be almost impossible to be discovered, not to mention the dragon ship, a special warship of mysticism. Who knows if there is any stealth function that subverts people's basic cognition?

Thinking about it this way, Yu Lian's operation of riding a flame-winged dragon and invading the safe distance of the Grand Commander before suddenly appearing may also be some very advanced mystical means.

However, this stealth method is not very similar to his previous style.

... Could it be the work of the dragon rider just now? But who is that person? The strongest enemy psychic on the front line is naturally Yu Lian himself, followed by the young lady of the Bai family codenamed "Taia".

Are there any masters?

Before Jaeger Sobek fell into deep thought, he couldn't help but slap himself.

Is this a question that Sobek can only think about? You are just a mediocre talent, do you really think of yourself as an expert in mysticism? Jaeger, Jaeger, you should also know your shame!

Having said that, Sobek still felt that he should organize these doubts into a detailed report and give it to his comrades in the Knights to study carefully.

In short, what happened just now was a very personal heroic battle, a battle that conforms to the aesthetics of the Tirello people. Mystery, legend, drama and other elements that are spreadable have been fully utilized.

Even if the top leaders kept their mouths shut, the "surviving" imperial soldiers would definitely spread this glorious battle example, adding some color to the glory of the "dragon that cannot even be named".

Of course, if you are the background board of this legend, the situation will be very embarrassing.

"In other words, he only used one ship to repel our entire fleet?" Vice Admiral Midbeshi sighed, with fatigue and helplessness between his eyebrows, and he almost said that he was tired of destruction.

Vice Admiral Laken's condition was relatively normal. He was not the person involved, and his personality was quite lively. He even asked with interest: "What was the method of the previous attack?"

"Long Night Meteor. The supreme mystery of the Star Knight's submachine gun skills, a special anti-ship style." Sobek explained to everyone seriously.

"Anti-ship type..." Vice Admiral Laken repeated the word, feeling that it was not a logical Imperial term, and the expression on his face began to collapse:

"But, as far as I know, the middle section composite armor of the Grand Commander Witte is very strong, and the bridge sensors are equipped with fluid shields and anti-mystical coatings. Can't it withstand the opponent's attack?"

"It's called anti-ship type because it can't be blocked." Sobek said.

"Oh? Well, this seems reasonable."

"Moreover, the anti-mystical coating actually resists the enemy's hyperspace boarding by means such as force field jumps. Facing direct energy impact and high temperature burning, it is actually not very good. No, there is basically no defensive effect. But the 'Long Night Meteor' simulates the effect of a burning comet."

"I see." I don't know if he really understood it, but Vice Admiral Laken still nodded in admiration.

A fleet navigator also added: "I have also heard of this move. It is said that it can knock down a space station in one blow. What I am talking about is that it is thrown from the surface of the planet to the near-Earth orbit. Those who can use this move in space are all top combat masters. And they must have a deep understanding of the empire's mystical knowledge and psychic martial arts. They even have a very high understanding of the empire's philosophy."

The chief navigator of the Laken fleet is a major general and a fourth-ring psychic. As a supporting actor, no, the object of supplementary explanation, what he said is still somewhat convincing.

So, the senior generals present also showed expressions of incomprehension, as if they had just learned something.

In fact, even the official members of the Knights rarely know that the techniques and martial arts they practice can reach such a crazy level.

"Then, can we target the stars?" Vice Admiral Laken asked suddenly.

"...If it is your majesty, it should be possible, right?" Vice Admiral Midbeshi said.

The two generals immediately showed an expression of admiration, as if they were worshipping the emperor in the void, and they had to be called loyal.

However, these two people were naturally admiring, but it seemed that there was always a bit of yin and yang. Anyway, Sobek did have this feeling.

The following discussion was a bit out of line.

"Speaking of which, that, no, that dragon who can't even be named, what is this move he used, um, Long Night Meteor, isn't it the secret martial arts of the Knights? How did he learn it?"

"He knew it before. During the Judgment War, he faced the plunderers, blew up the bridge of the long-bearded monster's dreadnought, and then captured it directly. That ship is still on Earth. It is said that it has been turned into a museum?"

"Should we be thankful that the Grand Master Witte was not captured directly?"

"I'm asking how he learned it."

"It's not news that your majesty admires him, and there is also her."

"If you think about it, they are the same kind."

After all, the Community and the Empire also had a honeymoon period, and the dragon who can't even be named was also a guest of honor of the Imperial Royal Family. But no matter what the entanglements in the past history were, the current reality is very simple. The enemy of the Empire killed the general of the Empire with the martial arts secrets of the Empire.

Probably because of this impact, everyone's three views were a little frustrated, and they began to let themselves go. However, the senior officers present were all smart people after all.

They all knew that their topic vaguely had a little bit of treasonous meaning. After exchanging awkward glances, they decided to forget it.

In this way, the atmosphere in the conference room was not so solemn, and they began to think about what to do next.

First of all, putting aside the class of the dead, it is still completely acceptable to talk about the war damage.

Two Silver Knight-class battlecruisers and a Corona-class dreadnought are the only three victims in this fleet of 270 warships. The injury rate just exceeded 1%, which can't be called war damage at first glance, but natural loss at most.

However, as I said, low war damage is certainly good news. But if the war damage only occurs on the main battleship or even the flagship, it would be a ghost story.

Of course, with the conversation just now, everyone can at least convince themselves that it is not their incompetence, but the enemy is too powerful. After all, they are the same kind of His Majesty the Emperor, isn't it normal to be strong?

At this time, everyone also received news about the other two support fleets.

They were the Baiai Fleet at the rear of the I Earl Star Gorge, and Vice Admiral Tosen's fleet operating in the Lucknar Corridor on the other side.

The former will arrive in four hours. By that time, the size of the fleet gathered in the small A4 galaxy will exceed 800 ships. With this force alone, it can be regarded as one of the top five combat forces in the universe.

As for Vice Admiral Tossen's fleet, the original goal was to speed up and sail out of the corridor as quickly as possible to see if it was possible to detour to the exit on the other side of the far shore nebula and complete the interception of the Earth's fleet.

As we all know, when besieging an enemy who is in dire straits, the heaviest and most dangerous task is to intercept them from behind. However, considering that Vice Admiral Tossen is a Lytalin, he is one of the few non-human fleet commanders in the Galactic Empire. Isn't this kind of dangerous job that can show off in front of senior officials just right? Shouldn't it be given to him?

This is the great kindness His Majesty the Emperor shows to non-human people.

Vice Admiral Karaman turned to the Nebula branch to pursue the Athena, while Vice Admiral Tossen quickly passed through the corridor to complete the last link of the encirclement net. This was the result of the discussion between the two Imperial Fleet Admirals in charge of the Lucanar Corridor.

If everything goes well, maybe the main force of the Earth fleet can be eliminated in the narrow passage of the far shore nebula.

However, after receiving the news that Lieutenant General Karaman was attacked and killed in battle, Lieutenant General Tossen would be too brave and radical if he continued to proceed according to the original plan.

But in fact, Lieutenant General Tuosen is a veteran who is over a hundred years old. He is the oldest general in the empire's far shore group, and his seniority is longer than that of the old Marshal Ikenluojia.

The average lifespan of a Laitalin is 1.5 times that of humans. Even by the standards of their race, Tossen is a complete veteran. He also made a decision that was prudent and consistent with his identity and age, as well as reality. He ordered the fleet to stop at the entrance system of the Lucanar Corridor, but never moved forward.

To the soldiers of Tuosen's fleet, the vast starry sky and the waterways extending in all directions mean that the enemy may attack from any place. In comparison, the Lucknar Corridor only needs to consider the front, which is much safer.

"If it were me, I would do the same thing." Lieutenant General Midbexi said.

If it were me, I would even turn around and retreat. Sobek thought.

"The key is to consider how to answer the accountability from the rear." Lieutenant General Laken said.

"A detailed report needs to be drawn up. There must also be the right person to report. Yes, the right person..." At this point, Lieutenant General Midbexi looked at Sobek with expectation in his eyes.

"Me?" Soback opened his eyes blankly.

"Marshal Ikenluojia and His Royal Highness Shawang must fully understand the difficulties here. Especially Lieutenant General Tuosen, he is the most alone now." The lieutenant general tried to make the other party understand the current situation.

"But...me?" Soback wanted to slap himself again. He actually thinks this guy is capable.

"Actually, you are one of their own." Lieutenant General Laken said.

"Yes, all of us rely on your impartiality and outspokenness. Especially Mr. Tuosen, he is a good man, but he is the farthest away from the 'category of his own people'. Moreover, His Royal Highness the Shah is that type again." Mi Lieutenant General Debesh said.

So, what type is the Sand King?

Lieutenant General Laken's face was full of sorrow: "A veteran will never die, and he should not be let down."

Lieutenant General Midbexi probably felt that his words were very to the point, and he suddenly showed an expression of indescribable sadness, as sad as a philosopher:

"This is our empire, brother Yeager, I hope you can understand what I mean. I also hope that there will not be any sad thick barriers between us."
