King of the Stars [Rebirth]

Hanlan Star is located in the southwest of Celtic Star, and the distance is relatively far, but there is a meteorite belt in the middle, and the spacecraft cannot make hyperspace transitions at all. It can only reach the planet by passing through the meteorite belt through the star road.

Because of this, the fleeing lightweight cargo ship was overtaken by the opponent.Yan Beichen turned on the automatic navigation system, let the spaceship follow the stern of the opponent, and carefully studied the star map in the navigator. A few minutes later, he suddenly turned on the communication device: "We will pass a U-shaped Meteorite Corridor, set up a torpedo barrier there."

"Still laying an ambush?" The captain asked in surprise.At this moment, shouldn't he escape from the meteorite belt as soon as possible and enter the range of Hanlan Star?

"They escaped a ship, and they won't give up so easily." Blackstone is a big pirate group, if they want to take someone hostage, they will never give up so easily.

After thinking for a moment, the captain nodded: "Alright, we have a few TS4 thermal torpedoes on board, are they enough?"

"Enough." Yan Beichen replied with certainty.

Ten minutes later, behind a huge meteorite, Yan Beichen turned off the engine of the spacecraft.The light cargo ship was already slowly moving forward, while he stayed behind, waiting for the predetermined enemy.After passing through this corridor, the star road ahead will be narrowed, allowing only one ship to move forward alone.Anyone with a little brain will try to catch up with the prey here and snipe.Lack of space to escape, a short journey will become a one-way street buried in the universe.

Will they arrive?

As if confirming Yan Beichen's words, a moment later, a thermal reaction appeared in the radar.One mech, three fighters!

Like hungry scavengers, the pirates charged.Their formation is quite sophisticated, with one fighter plane scouting in front, and the other two assisting in the rear. The one in the middle is a long-range mecha that is most suitable for passing through the meteor belt.This is not like a clumsy spaceship, as long as they catch up to the enemy, they can easily avoid the main gun and directly invade the flying body.At that time, let alone a handful of hostages, the entire ship will be wiped out.

It seems that Miss Gulan is indeed a coveted asset.

Yan Beichen narrowed his eyes, and did not activate the torpedo immediately, but quietly watched the reconnaissance plane carefully turn the corner of the U-shaped passage.After confirming that there was no ambush, the mecha and fighter jumped out of the corner one after another and began to accelerate.

It's now!The torpedo pops!

The thermal torpedo without thermal monitoring is simply a killer in the dark.Unprepared, the cockpit of the fighter plane in the rear was shot, lost control in an instant, and slammed into the mech in front.That mech knight was obviously a good player, and even avoided the wingman at the critical moment, and at the same time blew up all the torpedoes flying towards him with laser cannons.However, this was exactly Yan Beichen's purpose.

The electromagnetic bomb hidden in the thermal torpedo was hit by artillery fire, and the magnetic storm flooded the passage instantly.This is the biggest killer in the battle of the meteorite belt.Affected by the electromagnetic wave, the mecha experienced a short-term driving disorder. If the venue was changed and the enemy was changed, the knight would try to stabilize the mecha until the wave of disorder passed and the battle resumed.But unfortunately, it wasn't anyone else he met.

The ultra-small spaceship rushed out, the main cannon was activated, and the directional laser cannon shot out a dazzling beam of light.The light was like a sword's edge, piercing the jet regulating device on the mech's flank.The jet port is just a component of the engine, and it would at most make the mech unbalanced in normal times, but now, there is no more balance to lose.

With a slight deviation that the naked eye can hardly detect, the mecha hit the meteorite beside it. The high-speed flight brought about a high-speed impact. , a secondary explosion.Everything happened too fast, and the only two remaining fighters were a little dazed, but Yan Beichen wouldn't give them any more time.

The quadruple laser guns fired.In the narrow meteorite passage, the small spaceship shuttled through the meteorite like the most nimble bird, throwing death rays at the enemy.It stands to reason that the agility of fighter planes is much higher than that of spaceships, but at this moment, none of the fighter planes can escape the laser snare he set up.It took less than 2 minutes and it was all over.

This happened to be what the captain saw when he returned in his lightweight spaceship.Confident in his driving skills, he couldn't help opening his eyes wide.

On the side, Gu Lan gave a slight surprise: "Can small spaceships also deal with mechs?"

This is definitely a silly question.The captain smiled bitterly: "The guard we recruited is too powerful, he should also be a knight."

"Did you find the treasure?" Gu Lan asked with his head tilted.

"I still don't know what that person wants to do in Hanlanxing..." The captain frowned hesitantly.

"Anyway, we have something to ask of him. It would be better if that person came to Hanlan Star for some purpose." A cunning flashed in Gu Lan's eyes, "He will be a candidate that the elders cannot shirk."

The captain shook his head with a wry smile, and looked away.The situation is really too dangerous. Apart from this opportunistic approach, there is no better idea.Just hope that's someone who can be trusted.

The original narrow star road is now only a piece of wreckage.Yan Beichen sighed lightly. Of course, such an enemy is not a problem for him, but such a scene evoked a touch of nostalgia.Glancing at the pile of sparkling cosmic garbage, Yan Beichen steered the spacecraft to turn slowly, and at the same time turned on the communicator: "The processing is completed, we can continue on the road."

That was indeed the last wave of pursuers sent by the Blackstone.Without the enemy in the tail, the two spaceships quickly bypassed the meteorite belt and headed for the planet directly ahead.It is not a very large planet, its volume is about between the second-class star and the third-class star, and the distance from the main-sequence star is quite suitable. The atmosphere tightly covers the surface of the sphere, forming a series of undulating swirling clouds.The surface is filled with bright blues and greens, filled with vegetation and sea water.There are also two smaller satellites hovering over the surface of the planet.From a distance, this planet is like a rare treasure, shining with charming brilliance.

Such a planet, even in the Federation or the Star Alliance, is an excellent seed worth developing, and it will appear in such a border area.Even Yan Beichen was slightly surprised.But soon, he realized that this is the favorite living environment of some ancient martial arts families.Being isolated from the world and being close to nature, it is no wonder that they are valued by the Guning people.

Following the opponent's spacecraft, they slowly entered the atmosphere along the orbit of the planet, and landed on an open mountain top.When the spaceship came to a complete stop, Yan Beichen stepped out of the cabin, frowning and looking at the dense forest under his feet.How did it stop here?

The lightweight spaceship beside him also lowered down the gangway, and four men and one woman got off the spaceship.In addition to Gulan and the captain, there were three strong, tall men who were either crew members or bodyguards.

Seeing Yan Beichen, the captain immediately took a step forward: "Mr. Yan, this is Gu's landing pad, and we still have to walk a certain distance to reach the village. You can follow the team, don't fall behind."

"Because of this?" Yan Beichen tilted his head slightly, and an arrow-like thing pierced into the soil under his feet.Not far away, the guards around Gulan had already raised their pulse guns and knocked down the tree frog that sprayed poisonous needles.

"These are 'specialties' on Hanlan Star." The captain smiled. "It seems that Mr. Yan is not afraid of these things. Are you also from a certain ancient martial arts school?"

In this world, the Yan family no longer exists.Yan Beichen didn't open his mouth, and the other party didn't intend to ask more questions. He just looked at him thoughtfully, and then waved his hand lightly. The three guards formed a triangle formation and surrounded Gu Lan and Yan Beichen.

"Be careful where you step." Like a conscientious master, the girl at the side walked lightly in front.

Glancing at the boundless and endless dense forest in the distance, Yan Beichen also took steps, walking down the mountain amidst the buzzing of pulse guns.

"Colonel Oswald."

A slightly rude voice interrupted Griffin's thoughts, he slowly raised his head, his cold green eyes shot at the person standing at the door of the captain's room.Julius Satin, his new chief of staff, a member of the Satin family.

Facing the icicle-like sight, Julius raised his eyebrows slightly, stepped forward a few steps, and handed over the information in his hand: "This is the current battle report, please have a look."

Probably in order to avoid "horror incidents", the bandit suppression fleet was formed at a rapid speed, and it only took a short week to set off.Griffin did not get any of his cronies, and went to the post alone.All his deputies were replaced by school officers appointed by the military department. Although the highest command was in his hands, it was not easy to skip these large and small auxiliary personnel.

Such a passively restrained lineup is obviously not for him to make contributions.Rather, as his good sister suggested, there was some sinister undercurrent swelling beneath the surface.

Griffin accepted the documents with a blank expression, and did not hesitate to read them seriously.The situation here is indeed a bit weird. A large-scale pirate group crossed the border of the Star Alliance and sent troops to occupy this free trade belt.Although it is nominally within the territory of the Federation, this area has never been formally incorporated into the federal administrative system. It belongs to the three-regardless area and is not valued by people. Even if the name is changed, it is not a big surprise.Now that a fleet is specially dispatched to suppress bandits, of course, it is not just for the simple "suppression of bandits".

"Has the fleet of the fifth family ever had contact with the pirate group?" Griffin asked suddenly, his eyes falling on a certain information on the crystal screen.

Unexpectedly, the son of gold grasped the point in an instant, and Julius narrowed his eyes slightly: "According to the fifth family, they had fought against the Blackstone several times, but the enemy was too cunning to Decide the winner."

This is obviously an excuse.After carefully checking the formation of the two armies and the so-called "combat records", Griffin smiled coldly: "It seems that the order of the military department is not the focus this time."

This is not a simple military plan against pirates, but an attack on the Fifth Family using pirates and the border area as a springboard.Griffin didn't know how many fleets would participate in this operation, but it was obvious that he was the first fleet to launch, and he was also the bait thrown to the Fifth Family.As long as he is around, the attention of the fifth family will be diverted, keeping a close eye on this free trade zone.As for his adjutant, I am afraid he is also aware of the private arrangements.

Sure enough, Julius kept his mouth shut.This is not silence, but a kind of silence similar to the silence of the insider.

Griffin dropped the crystal screen in his hand and leaned on the back of the chair: "Order the whole ship to advance and form a formation near the Celt star. I want to go straight to the base camp of the Blackstone."

This is not the way the plan was played.Julius frowned unobtrusively, and did not refute, but asked instead: "Excuse me, what formation does the fleet use?"

"The wild goose unfolds." Griffin said calmly, without any hesitation.

This is a commonly used formation in siege warfare, but is it useful for pirates who are agile and scattered in formation?Julius hesitated for a moment, unable to figure out which card this "former god of war" was playing.But his purpose is not only to complete the military plan, but also has more important tasks.

"Of order, Your Excellency." After hesitating for a few seconds, he made a decision. After saluting according to the regulations, he turned and left the captain's room.

Looking at the straight back, Griffin had a sneer on his lips.Everyone has their own plan, but he is not going to follow someone else's script.Open up the hornet's nest first, let's talk about other things.

I just hope that those pirates are not too weak.

Aside from those military documents, Griffin turned on his personal optical brain and checked another star map.
