"What is the specific situation now? Approximately how much damage and casualties have been caused?" In the Supreme Conference Hall of the Hongyan Star Center Special Zone, Hiro, who had returned to the first seat, first asked about the current situation.

After you want to have a clear understanding of the situation, you can then formulate a targeted response plan.

For the congressmen present, they have only been in office for a relatively short period of time, and they have never encountered this kind of thing during their term of office.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that not even Hero has experienced this situation.

No one dares to make a hasty decision without having lessons learned from the past as a reference for experience.

If the situation worsens, no one will be able to bear this responsibility, so they can only rely on the more senior Shiro.

Hearing Hiro's question at this moment, even though some congressmen reported truthfully: "Congressman Hiro, please look here. This is the latest picture transmitted from the front line of the Melan Star. The enemy attacked the Black Hawk Squadron after destroying four battleships. Lanxing is launching a massive attack, and Molanxing is currently cooperating with the planetary defense fortress to resist."

While speaking, he did not project the video onto the big screen to introduce the situation in detail.

When the first fleet of the Clay Empire Corps led by Mara appeared on the screen, everyone could not help but gasp.

So scary.

The gap between them was immediately felt.

There are twenty large Star Destroyers, plus hundreds of medium-sized battleships.

Although the strength of the Red Rock Galaxy is barely equal to it in terms of numbers, judging from the power of the opponent's attack on the planetary defense fortress in the video, I am afraid that its performance far exceeds that of their battleships.

It's not easy to win like this.

Although the Red Rock Galaxy has never encountered such a terrifying enemy, Hero has so much experience after all, and is relatively calm at this time compared to others.

What he is now considering is the identity of this group of powerful enemies.

If the other party is from the Milky Way, it is easy to say anything. You can report it to the Civilization Administration and let it dispatch forces to deal with it.

But if it really comes from other river systems, it will be more difficult to handle.

The main reason is that the shapes of these battleships are really unfamiliar, and even he cannot determine their identities.

Thinking of this, Hiro simply asked this question to others, then curled up his right hand fingers and tapped the conference table with his knuckles and said casually: "What do you think these battleships are?"

Meran Planet is one of the few planets in the Red Rock Galaxy that has a large number of planetary defense fortresses. In addition, relevant fleets have been dispatched to support it, so it is basically impossible to capture it in a short period of time.

Because of this, they bought time for the high-level officials in the galaxy to sit here and discuss.

Perhaps they really didn't have much to think about. Faced with Hero's question, everyone didn't dare to speak rashly for fear of something going wrong.

In the end, Longshan tentatively said: "Is it possible that they come from the Clay Empire of the Andromeda Galaxy? Didn't the Solar System warn them before?"

As his words fell, everyone else's expressions also changed.

If it were really the Clay Empire fleet that attacked the Red Rock Galaxy, then their situation would probably be even more complicated.

After all, according to the statement given by the solar system, the overall strength of the Andromeda Galaxy far exceeds that of the Milky Way.

Longshan's words also successfully brought back Hero's memories.

When the Solar System first announced the Cray Empire, the Civilization Administration attached great importance to it. As a veteran inspector, Uma even came to the Red Rock Star in person, hoping that they could mobilize part of the fleet to join the Milky Way Alliance and be prepared to deal with the Cray Empire. Preparations for the Imperial fleet attack.

But in the end, he pushed back on this matter and only increased the defensive patrol force of the Red Rock Galaxy.

Later, the galaxy remained stable, and no trace of the Clay Empire ever appeared.

Everyone no longer takes this matter to heart.

It's just that since he is not a member of parliament now, he doesn't care about it anymore. As a result, the forces established by him, such as the Black Hawk Patrol Team, continue to operate to this day.

Unexpectedly, it actually had an unexpected effect in the end.

From an intuitive point of view, although the Black Hawk Squadron lost four battleships, they successfully discovered the existence of the enemy.

And promptly inform the nearby Molan Star.

This allows Mo Lanxing to be vigilant and deploy forces for defense in a timely manner.

It can be said that insights ensure the safety of Molan Star.

Otherwise, if there were twenty large battleships to launch a sneak attack on Molan Star, Molan Star would be easily captured without preparation.

Just as Hiro was thinking about this, Youlongshan successfully opened up the conversation, and then saw several other congressmen echoing his words.

"I also feel that this may be the Clay Empire civilization of the Andromeda Galaxy. There is no Star Destroyer of this style in our galaxy."

"I agree with this guess, but I didn't expect that they would attack our Red Rock Galaxy first. Could it be that they were sure to eat us."

"Since it is an invasion by a civilization from outside the Milky Way, we must respond as soon as possible. I am worried that the Melan Star may not be able to hold on for too long."

Basically everyone supports Longshan's point of view.

With so many congressmen speaking, Hero naturally would not refute anything at this time. He had the right to regard the enemy as the Clay Empire civilization of the Andromeda Galaxy.

But soon he raised a new question: "If we use all our strength, how sure are we of defeating the enemy?"

Hearing Heero's words, the councilors, including Longshan, couldn't help but frown slightly this time. It was only because of Heero's identity and status that they put the question in their hearts and did not choose to speak. Speak up.

The main reason is that the enemy is coming fiercely this time, and they obviously want to deal with the Red Rock Galaxy first.

In addition, the other party is from the Andromeda Galaxy, which has a more powerful civilization. In this case, it is best to seek help from other civilizations as soon as possible.

With the help of the fast movement of the Star Gate, it won't take long for the Milky Way Alliance to surround the Clay Empire's fleet.

It will also be very easy to eliminate them then.

The key is to avoid the consumption of the red rock galaxy itself to a great extent.

According to the current war situation, if Hongyan Galaxy really chooses to resist on its own, it will mobilize all its strength to fight the Clay Empire.

Let's not mention that the hope of victory is relatively slim. Even if we win in the end, we will kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to ourselves. It is not a good plan no matter how we look at it.

Although they were willing to obey Hiro's orders, they couldn't bear to see the Red Rock Galaxy being ruined. After being silent for tens of seconds, some members finally plucked up the courage to express their concerns.

"Congressman Hiro."

"With our strength, I'm afraid we're still a little behind compared to this powerful fleet."

"Should we ask for help from other civilizations first?"

"Are you not confident in the strength of your own fleet?" Hero heard this and responded coldly, leaving the other party speechless.

After seeing that the congressman's face turned red from suppressing the pressure and temporarily chose to keep silent, Hero then explained with satisfaction: "I don't think we can't win this victory. After all, we are veterans in the galaxy. As a Level 3 civilization, if we go to ask for help when we encounter some situation, how will others see us?"

"This will only confirm that our red rock galaxy is no longer the strongest civilization in the galaxy."

"Also, by winning this fleet, our civilization's warship technology may also be improved. This is the most valuable thing to us."

The reason why Hero chose to do this was naturally because he had his own plans.

Since the rise of the solar system, the status of the Red Rock Galaxy in the Milky Way has continued to decline. The biggest reason is that the performance of battleships has gradually lagged behind.

In addition, particle neutralization shields and energy shield amplifiers cannot be purchased from the solar system, so that the performance of the warships in service is almost the worst in the entire galaxy civilization.

During this period, he also thought about improving the technology of battleships more than once, but this was not an easy task.

But it's different with the Clay Empire fleet.

Obviously, the comprehensive performance of the Clay Empire's fleet far exceeds theirs, so as long as they take down their warships and disassemble them for research, I believe their own shipbuilding technology will increase significantly.

Maybe he can return to the strongest civilization in the galaxy by then.

It's totally worth taking a little risk.

If they ask for help from other civilizations, even if they win the battle, they may not get much benefit.

And this move is not a desperate move. Hongyan Galaxy still has a relatively high chance of winning.

First of all, the fleet performance of the Red Rock Galaxy is indeed uneven and inferior to that of the Clay Empire, but you must know that the opponent is fighting at a distance after all.

And they have local advantages.

What's more, every planet in the Red Rock Galaxy has a planetary defense fortress. As long as it cooperates with the fleet properly to block the Clay Empire's fleet, I believe that the final victory will be achieved while waiting for work.

After hearing Shiro's explanation, Longshan and others immediately understood what he was planning, and seemed quite confused for a moment.

Don't know what choice to make.

However, when Hero saw this scene, he took new actions decisively and told everyone again: "Risks are often accompanied by opportunities. Whether we can return to the strongest civilization in the galaxy depends on this time. I hope you can make careful decisions. "

Everyone was already in a stage of hesitation, but after hearing that Hero had said this, and for the sake of the future development of the Red Rock Galaxy, there was no way they dared to delay further.

Immediately, they all stood up and said in unison: "We are willing to obey Congressman Shiro's order."

"very good."

"Then let us work together to open up a new era of the Red Rock Galaxy."

Hearing the answers from everyone in front of him, Shiro was extremely satisfied. He was also very excited and immediately stood up to arrange the next specific matters.

"In order to reduce our losses as much as possible, we must limit the battlefield to Meran Star."

"So mobilize the armed forces of various planets to support the Melan Star as soon as possible. No matter what, we must keep all the enemies in the Red Rock Galaxy."

"It's Senator Hiro."

As the final order came out of Hiro's mouth, other relevant council members also began to implement it, transporting battleships and military supplies to the front line of Melan.

But it is worth mentioning that no one left.

Because Hiro wants to be in this highest conference hall and pay attention to the battle on the frontline Meran Star with everyone in order to make timely adjustments to the plan.

After all, with the strength of the third-level civilization of the Red Rock Galaxy, there is almost no delay in the real-time images transmitted from the Molan Star.

…

"Reporting to the commander, the enemy's attack is very fierce. If this continues, we may not be able to hold on for long."

In the command hall of the planetary defense fortress of the Moran God of Moran, there was only one uniformed subordinate reporting the situation to the top person in charge here.

At present, all the fleets coming to support have not arrived yet, so most of the firepower has been borne by the planetary defense fortress. Even if the defense level of the fortress is much higher than that of large battleships, it is not an option to be passively beaten all the time.

You must know that unlike battleships that can evade flexibly, planetary defense fortresses are basically fixed, and they are a living target at this time.

After Long Tian heard the report, his brows suddenly knitted together.

He is naturally aware of the situation of the fortress, but now the fortress lacks support and the number of warships that can be used is very limited.

There was no way to fight back.

What can I do if I don't get beaten passively?

"Have the results of the negotiations in the special zone been reached? How long will it take for support to arrive?" In a rather violent mood, Long Tian immediately asked his subordinates without caring about his own image.

"Support is on the way." The subordinate next to him replied softly.

But at this moment, he saw Kuni taking two steps toward Long Tian and said proactively: "Commander, why don't you let me command a Star Destroyer to launch a counterattack, even if it disrupts the enemy's attack rhythm."

After Kuni got rid of the attack and entered the range of Meran Star, because the enemy's fleet had already launched an attack, he continued to drive his battleship to cooperate with the planetary defense fortress to continue blocking the enemy. However, the enemy's attack was too fierce and the battleship was damaged. In desperation, He had to temporarily enter the fortress.

In addition, he was also a meritorious official after all, so he was taken into his body by Long Tian, ​​the supreme commander of the Death God Planet Defense Fortress.

But for him, the battlefield is his destination.

When he was in the Black Hawk Squadron, he had thought about returning to the fleet more than once and driving a large battleship to protect his homeland.

Now that he had such an opportunity before him, how could he miss it again?

Even if it is full of risks, he may fall at any time.

Unfortunately, Long Tian did not agree with his proposal: "It is too dangerous to do this. There is only one Star Destroyer that can't counterattack at all. I can't let you die in vain."

"commander……"

"Okay, don't say any more." Long Tian saw what Kuny wanted to say and immediately raised his hand to interrupt.

Although Cooney was very sorry for this result, he also understood that if he continued to request, it would be a bit ignorant of current affairs, so he had to keep silent for the time being.

Wait for the right opportunity later.

Just like that, about five minutes later, a shout of surprise suddenly sounded in the command hall.

"Report to Commander, the special zone headquarters has sent an order, asking us to intercept the enemy outside the Meran Planet. A reinforced fleet composed of warships drawn from various planets is already on its way."

"Okay, great!"

"Wait until the reinforcements arrive and see how I deal with these guys."

When Long Tian heard this order, his brows suddenly relaxed a lot, and he felt more confident than before.

Previously, he was really worried that those congressmen would abandon Molan Star. In this case, the Red Rock Star people living on it would not have time to evacuate, and he did not know how many casualties would be caused.

As the commander of the Death God planetary defense fortress around the Meran Star, he has been in office for almost more than an era. He has a relatively deep affection for the Meran Star. If the situation is not completely out of control, who wants it to become A ruin.

But this joy didn't last long before his expression turned cold again.

Because he thought of another trouble.

"It will take time for the support fleet to get from the Red Rock Star to the Molan Star. I don't know if this fortress can survive until that time?" He whispered softly to himself in a low mood.

His worries were justified. After all, the enemy came so fast this time, and there was no time to prepare for many things.

Now the fortress is facing a crazy attack from the enemy. If no action is taken, the fortress may have been destroyed by the enemy before reinforcements arrive.

And once the strongest planetary defense fortress of the Death God falls, the remaining fortresses will definitely not be able to hold on for long.

At that time, it would be equivalent to opening the door to Molan Star.

Just one large battleship can cause serious damage to the entire planet, and it is unknown how many Red Rock Stars will die.

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention. After hearing Long Tian's worried words, Kuni became more determined to go to the battlefield.

So he came to Long Tian again and said from the bottom of his heart: "Commander Long, just let me go. Although I have only stayed on Molan Star for a few years, I don't want to see it destroyed by the enemy. Regardless of whether it works or not, please let me give it a try.”

"please!"

Long Tian disagreed with Kuni's plan just now. In addition to considering that he was a meritorious official, he also understood that it was almost impossible to come back alive from this operation.

But judging from the current situation, if they are not allowed to try, the Death God Planetary Defense Fortress will not be able to support reinforcements at all, and more deaths will be caused by then.

So looking at the overall situation, he really couldn't refuse this time.

But considering the seriousness of the matter, he finally asked again with great solemnity: "Have you really thought about it?"

"Yes, I think very clearly."

"Oh well."

"I will hand over to you the only remaining large battleship in the fortress, the Meteor. I hope you can buy some time for the fortress."

"Thank you, Commander, I will do my best." Cuni respectfully leaned over and made a firm promise, and then walked outside.

A few minutes later, a large black battleship was seen flying out of the fortress and flying in the direction of the enemy fleet.

Yes, it was Cooney who controlled this battleship.

It is worth mentioning that, perhaps because he knew that it was basically impossible for him to come back alive this time, and to a certain extent, it was almost like asking for death, so the Meteorite did not carry many crew members except him. No more than a hundred people together.

Since the firepower of the Clay Empire's fleet was currently on the Destruction Planetary Defense Fortress, it gave Kuni a chance to sail safely.

As long as his warships reach the appropriate position, they can launch an attack on the enemy's command warships and divert their firepower from the side, thus giving the fortress a chance to buy time.

But by then, his battleship will also become a living target for the enemy, and it will definitely suffer more violent attacks.

Under this intensity of attack, a Star Destroyer without particle neutralizing shields and energy shield amplifiers would not be able to survive for long.

The key is that Cooney is very aware of all this and has nothing to fear.

However, in order to successfully reach the scheduled location and successfully complete the task, Cooney did not dare to be careless.

Not long after leaving the fortress, the energy shield was activated.

"Open the energy shield and be alert."

In the control hall of the Meteor, Cooney, who had changed into the uniform of a large battleship captain, stood in front of the main screen, giving instructions to the operators next to him with a serious face.

At the same time, he whispered secretly in his heart: "Don't worry, members of the Black Hawk Team, I will avenge you."

——

at the same time.

A large number of warships are parked in the star field some distance away from Kuni.

Apparently it was the first fleet of the Imperial Legion led by Mara.

"You dare to counterattack with only one battleship. You are really looking for death." In the Ares control hall, Mara looked at the figure of the Meteor on the screen, with strong disdain in his eyes.

For them, the most important task at the moment is not to capture Molan Star, but to create a feint attack to create an opportunity for a small force to destroy the star gate.

In fact, with the strength of the first fleet of his imperial army, if he used all his strength, he would probably hit the Molan planet, and not even a planetary defense fortress would be solved.

The main reason is that they are afraid that the strength displayed is too strong, which will make the enemy afraid to fight directly and send reinforcements to other civilizations.

In this way, the defensive power on the Star Gate side will virtually increase a lot.

But now it seems that things are basically developing in the direction he planned.

"Captain, do you want to destroy this battleship?" At this time, the subordinate next to him saw that Mara seemed to be very interested in the enemy ship on the screen, so he couldn't help but ask more questions.

"That would be too boring." Mara shook his head and said, "Don't worry, let's play with them first."

To Mara, no matter what the other party is planning, it doesn't matter. After all, in the face of absolute strength, the weak is the weak.

When the star gate is successfully destroyed, it will be the time when the civilization in this galaxy becomes afraid.

And giving them some hope before doing so will make the results more interesting.

Then Mara seemed to have thought of something, and casually asked the subordinate next to him: "Where did the team on the mission to destroy the Star Gate go?"

"Reporting to the captain, they have successfully passed the range of the Molan Star and are currently heading towards the Red Rock Star." The subordinate answered truthfully without thinking.

"Tell them to be more cautious. They may encounter the opponent's support fleet later. In short, they must complete this task no matter what. The commander of the legion is still watching us from behind." After getting the result he wanted, Ma La nodded and gave another instruction.

"Don't worry, Captain, we will definitely complete the mission successfully."

As the subordinate responded with another compliment, the entire command hall returned to calm, and the battle continued.

It's a pity that Cooney didn't know that he had been under enemy surveillance for a long time, and the Red Rock Galaxy didn't know that their action was destined to be a tragedy.
