As soon as I opened my eyes, my avatar was gone [Interstellar]

"Right rudder dodges!" On the flagship of the Bertha Federal Fleet, Admiral Martin still commanded calmly.

But there was already visible sweat on his forehead.

This battle was more difficult than any battle he had participated in before.

More than half of the fleet was destroyed, and the wreckage of the fleet and the bodies of officers and soldiers were scattered all over the space battlefield.

The flagship has also been scarred.

Not long ago, the flagship's shield was broken, and it is currently relying entirely on its own armor to attack.

Martin not only had to coordinate the entire fleet, but also had to keep an eye on the flagship. The long hours of concentration made him a little tired.

But he knew that he had to persevere and keep a clear head.

Every decision he makes may affect the life and death of the fleet members.

This fleet is the main fleet of the Federation, and it can be said to be the most elite space fleet of the Federation. Even they have been beaten like this, let alone other troops of the Federation.

Martin's heart is extremely heavy. Since the establishment of the Federation, he has never encountered such a one-sided situation.

Can humans....can really defeat Niluk?For a moment, Martin had such a question in his heart.

"Admiral, the Madrid has lost contact!"

"Admiral, the Kony reported armor damage!"

"Admiral, the Hornet fighter team has no response, and the radar has disappeared!"

Battle reports came to Martin's ears one after another.

If this continues, it will really be wiped out.

...No, this is not possible!

Martin hit the armrest of the captain's chair with his fist, and yelled at the correspondent anxiously: "What about the capital? Where's the military department? Has the message sent to them for help been answered!?"

"...Report sir, no!" The correspondent was equally anxious.

"Damn!" Martin couldn't help but swear.

Do you usually pretend to be omnipotent, but when it comes to critical moments, you pretend to be deaf and dumb?

Wouldn't that person in the capital really think that being a coward and pretending that he didn't hear and see what happened outside, he could treat the incident as if it didn't happen?

The front line is struggling to hold the line of defense, but behind the scenes those guys from Capital Star don't know what they're doing!

Such a federation is really enough!

But anger was anger, and Martin quickly forced himself to calm down.

Since there is a high probability that the Federation's rescue will not come, and even if the Federation's other troops come, it is very likely that they will lose more than the main fleet. At this time, they can only save themselves.

"First officer, search for the nearest planetary belt in the nearby star field!" Martin ordered.

The first officer was taken aback: "Planetary belt? Sir, fleets entering the planetary belt are prone to collision accidents, very dangerous..."

"Don't I know what you know?" Martin was impatient. "This place is so open, staying here will only be a target, and there is a chance to avoid it when entering the planetary belt."

".....Yes!"

The order was issued to all ships, and the flagship took the lead in turning the bow.

There is an asteroid belt about 10 minutes away from the battlefield, and Martin intends to use the asteroids there for detour tactics.

As the fleet moves, armored ships act as the outermost escort.

In the past, they would become the most powerful protective shields for the fleet, but now, there are only three armored ships left in the fleet, and the shields of each ship have been damaged, and the armor shells are full of ballistic marks and burns. scars.

However, it is the duty of the armored ship to protect the fleet, especially the capital ship.

When the capital ship is heading back, they must stay at the back to resist the opponent's artillery fire.

"Captain! Our armor is about to fail!" On one of the armored ships, the first officer was sweating profusely. "Our engine has also been hit and is losing power!"

Of the twenty or so armored ships, only the last three of them are left, and in their state, it is difficult to support them.

"......" The captain was silent.

"Captain! Please make a decision as soon as possible! With our armor damaged and gradually losing power, the ship will definitely be destroyed!" the first officer said.

The captain lowered his head, stroking the armrest of the captain's chair.

This armored ship was his first ship as captain.

He has experienced large and small battles with it, from the back and forth annihilation battles with the Star Bandits, to several frictional battles with the empire, they have walked side by side for several years.

Unfortunately, however, this road seems to have come to an end today.

After a long time, the captain raised his head, looked at the first officer in front of him with complicated eyes, and made the final decision.

"Notify the crew, abandon ship."

When a warship is damaged and can no longer be used on the battlefield, the most painful decision the captain needs to make is to abandon the ship.

Every captain has a very special attachment to their ship, and abandoning ship is like abandoning family to them.

The same is true for the crew on the starship.

The chief mate's eyes were already filled with tears. He actually knew that abandoning the ship was inevitable after the armored ship had become like this, but when he actually got this order, he still couldn't control his emotions.

With red eyes, he saluted the captain: "Yes!"

The crew of the armored ship evacuated to the escape cabin as quickly as possible according to the training procedures.

The escape cabin of a large military ship is also huge. In addition to being able to accommodate the entire ship's people, it also reserves oxygen and essential supplies for survival before rescue arrives.

The last to evacuate were the bridge crew.

The first officer was about to leave the bridge, but found the captain sitting motionless on the captain's chair.

"Captain?" The first mate looked at the senior officer in confusion. It is said that the captain was born as a helmsman and had the longest service time on this ship. Even in the entire fleet, his service time was the highest .

"Aren't you going to the escape cabin?" the first officer asked.

The captain stood up in front of the first mate, patted the other person on the shoulder, and said, "No, my old bone needs to exert some residual heat."

The first officer was stunned.

Although the captain is indeed considered older in the army, he shouldn't be making fun of himself with "old bones", right?Also, make use of residual heat....what do you mean?

"I want to use the hull of this ship to buy time for the fleet to transfer," the captain said.

The first officer was dumbfounded.

The captain, who has always been well-behaved and cautious, has such a crazy plan.

"If that's the case, then I want to stay!" The first mate said decisively, "As the first mate of this ship, I have an obligation to stay with you!"

There was no doubt that they would die if they stayed, and the chief mate couldn't bear to let the captain who had spent so long on this ship die alone.

The captain waved his hand: "Son, you are still young, don't talk nonsense."

"But....."

"If you don't leave, it will be too late!" The captain knew a long time ago that the first officer was a stubborn young man and would not be easily persuaded.

So, he gave the opponent a hard push.

After the power weakened, various systems in the hull gradually failed after the backup power supply was exhausted.

Not only the oxygen supply system, the lighting system, but also the gravity system failed.

With the captain's push, he easily pushed the strong first officer out of the bridge door, and then he used the captain's chair to come to the door and pressed the door closing button.

The first mate reacted and slapped the door: "Captain! Captain!!"

However, the sound insulation effect of the bridge is very good, and the captain inside can no longer hear it.

The first officer was forcibly taken away by colleagues passing by the bridge to the escape cabin.

The captain came to the helmsman's seat, gently stroking the rudder with his hands.

For many years, since he was promoted to an officer, he never had the opportunity to drive a ship himself.

In fact, this feeling is quite nostalgic....

The captain observed the display on the instrument panel, and after confirming that the escape pod had disengaged, he pulled down the power control lever.

The armored ship moved slowly.

"Come on, girl, let's go through the last journey together!" The captain said, looking at the starry sky ahead.

Many captains of the older generation have the habit of calling their ships "girls", which shows their affection for ships.

In the escape cabin, through the narrow glass, the first officer witnessed that under the control of the captain, the armored ship slowly turned its bow, and lay between the Niluk fleet and the transferring Federation fleet.

Increasing the probability of being shelled in this way is undoubtedly a suicide act!

"Captain!!" Even though he knew that the captain couldn't hear him, the first officer still shouted loudly.

A new round of shelling from Niluk is coming.

Several missiles hit the armored ship, but also because of the existence of the armored ship, the escape cabins on the original path of those missiles and the ships behind were spared.

"Hey, don't think these little guys can kill my ship! Girl, good job!" The captain laughed wildly on the bridge alone.

The reason why an armored ship is called an armored ship is because of its thick armor.

Even in the previous battles, the armor of the armored ship has been consumed a lot, but the general shelling can still withstand it, unless...

On the main ship of the Niluk Fleet, the Niluk as the commander flicked his tail and said in Niluk, "What's the matter with that ship?"

"Sir, our normal bombardment doesn't seem to be very effective against the enemy's standard spaceship." His subordinate reported.

Before, Niluk destroyed armored ships with the main guns of their starships.

Although this main cannon is powerful, it has a fatal shortcoming, that is, it takes a long time to recharge just like the antimatter cannon developed by the Federation.

This technical problem has not been resolved, but after investigating human data, the confident Niluk people believe that the current level of equipment can completely achieve crushing operations against humans, so they launched a war of aggression.

"Is the main gun fully charged? Get rid of it." More than half of the opponent's fleet was destroyed, and they only lost a few small boats in the battle, which was harmless. Commander Niluk yawned. Such a battle is really boring.

Niluks don't care as much about the safety of their fleet brethren as humans do.

They believe that only the strong can survive, and if they die on the battlefield, it can only show that they are too weak and do not deserve sympathy at all. This is the unanimous concept of the Niluk army.

"The main gun is fully charged." Weapons Control turned his head and replied.

"Fire." Commander Niluk's voice was cold and merciless.

A green beam of light was fired from the main gun at the front of the main ship, directly penetrating through the battered Federation armored ship.

The captain of the armored ship closed his eyes, he could end his life with his beloved ship, and he died without regret.

As a soldier, you will never be afraid to die on the battlefield.

The armored ship exploded, and the captain and the ship turned into dust in the universe under the gaze of other crew members in the escape pod.

The author has something to say: ...It's amazing that there is no protagonist in this chapter...

By the way, do you not want to see me write this kind of plot?

I can't help but want to write about the atmosphere of that war...

If you don’t want to read it, I won’t write about it later QAQ
