Chapter 49

An hour later, Fahrenheit left Reinhardt with a team of 1 ships to meet General Merkaz's fleet.In fact, just before leaving, he kept saying that the troops allocated to him were too large, but in the end he was still unable to resist the emperor's will.

What followed was a march that lasted nearly a day.

During this period, the fleet was not obstructed or attacked in any way, and the communication channel was terribly silent.

And the emperor began to get really excited.

This is a very magical state of mind.Under its influence, Reinhardt felt that he was high-spirited, extremely bold, and all scruples disappeared and he just wanted to fight.But at the same time it made him deliberate, extremely sharp, and all his emotions were wiped out and only reason remained.The two extremely contrasting states temporarily coexist in him, giving him a feeling that the trajectory of the world is extremely clear, the law of all things is almost visible, and his own soul is close to being ignited.

And at 3:20 in the afternoon that day, the flames finally rose under his skull, because Xiutelai finally sent him a report, indicating that the team he was waiting for had entered their radar and close range. Frontier of the detection range of the reconnaissance aircraft.

This is incomparably perfect, just like the 1 ships mentioned in all reports. The ships in the fleet are almost all the latest ship types of the alliance, and all kinds of equipment are extremely reasonable and sophisticated. Even if it is just a simple forward movement, it can be seen Team coordination is very high.The flagship didn't try to hide itself, it turned on the flag light very steadily and frankly, and marched at the front of the fleet.

"Your Majesty, although I'm not sure who the commander is, the flagship is indeed the one owned by General Yang." Xiutley reported to the emperor.

The emperor nodded calmly: "There is no need to doubt anything, it can only be him."

Shutley could also understand this: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"8-degree depression at 20 o'clock. Go to that star. All ships are alerted to the highest level, and all Valkyries are ready to leave the cabin. Brenhill has entered the first-level emergency plan state, and all combatants are ready to fight .”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

"You heard me right, and neither did I. From now on, all the staff of the flagship will be ready to be landed by the enemy at any time."

He said these words so loudly that many staff members in the work area below froze for a moment.However, they didn't hesitate for long, and continued with their actions after a slight pause and hesitation, as if they didn't hear anything.

The captain came over instead.

"Your Majesty." The captain saluted him, looking at him very seriously.

Reinhardt nodded to him gracefully: "Mr. Seydlitz."

"Please allow me to confirm again, Your Majesty—you just said that this ship is expected to be landed in the next battle?"

"Yes." The emperor gave him the answer very simply.

Commodore Seydlitz looked at him for a while with an indescribable expression, and then finally said: "...If this is the case, Your Majesty, now I request you to leave the ship and go to a safer place in the name of the captain. The country absolutely cannot afford such a risk."

Without any hesitation at all, the emperor shook his head directly: "I can't do this."

"...Why not?" The captain felt that he could no longer maintain his politeness, because he knew very well that what the emperor said would almost 100% come true, so now he really wanted to pick up the emperor and throw him on the shuttle to the next The frigate goes up.

Then, the emperor showed a very frank and pure expression of "that's what I want to do", and answered him like this: "Yang Weili has the courage to face me, and he has not cheated from the beginning to the end, so naturally I can't trap myself righteous."

Cedric and Xiutelai showed expressions of being driven crazy almost at the same time - they could understand the emperor's thoughts and thought it was very noble, courageous and courageous, but the problem was that he was taking his own risk. Even if they were killed, they would not agree.

Then the two chattered "Please don't think so", "For the sake of the country", and "I beg you".After about 5 seconds, Reinhard couldn't take it anymore and had to raise his hand to stop them.

"Calm down, gentlemen. I'm not a fool." The emperor asked himself to smile, and said to them kindly but unquestionably, "What you can think of, and what I can think of, Yang Weili will not fail to think of. On the other hand, Yang Weili must control the strength, grasp the overall situation, and try not to anger or hurt me too much. And if he is sure that I am not here and it is difficult to find, then he will destroy the entire fleet at all costs to ensure my safety. The battlefield of death, to buy more buffer time for the alliance—rather than letting him put aside all scruples and go on a rampage and cause us heavy losses, it is better to take a small risk and see how he dances in shackles."

"But he can't possibly know where you are."

Hearing this, the emperor shook his head: "No, he knows. It's as if I know where he is."

Cedric and Xiuteri looked at each other.

Now that the emperor's view is irrefutable, the two of them can only follow the monarch on this seemingly dangerous road in front of them.

And in fact, it was too late for the emperor to transfer, because only 20 minutes later, the opponent's first round of neutron long-range bombardment arrived.

He didn't start a counterattack right away, Reinhardt ordered the fleet to retreat to the back of the star - facing Yang Weili, he didn't care about whether to strike first or not, he just wanted to pull the opponent into his own thinking.

This is a huge star in a semi-gaseous state, with a magnificent cold blue-white surface, but it is indeed constantly boiling and burning.And it seems to be in a relatively active state, with huge solar winds blowing up on the surface from time to time.

Then came the fleet dive.At the emperor's command, all ships began to press themselves against the surface of the star.But they didn't go too far, because even the best armor materials couldn't resist the heat of the stars, let alone taste the solar wind.

But this level is enough.Under the cover of disturbances in the interplanetary magnetic field and radio radiation, the Yang fleet will temporarily be unable to accurately detect their position.

So the battle between the scouting forces of the two sides began.

Along with the appearance of the high-speed reconnaissance ship, there are 20% of the total Valkyrie this time-they are also enhanced versions that have been improved by the emperor, equipped with very powerful thin armor, have longer battery life and higher The attack efficiency is higher, but the size is actually smaller.

Soon these elves spread out like birds, some went to escort the scout ships, patrol the field, and attack all the enemy scout ships they could find, and the rest entered the range visible to the naked eye of Yang Fleet, going around the rear to harass and dismantle the enemy's ships. team.

Almost immediately, the Allied carrier-based aircraft also made their debut.But I have to say that facing the Valkyries personally selected by the emperor, these old alliance fighters are really powerless.

However, the emperor did not intend to use the carrier-based aircraft to entangle the opponent all the time.

Although the flying unit destroyed many fighter planes, scout ships and even cruisers of the opponent at a very small cost, after about half an hour, he still recalled all the pilots and let them lead the enemy slowly into the frontal battlefield.

And Yang's reaction shows that the emperor also brought him a lot of psychological pressure-he did follow the Valkyrie's return route and slowly pushed over with a shield team, but at the same time he also sent out the A group of carrier-based aircraft took the lead, step by step to an unprecedented level.

With the arrival of Allied aircraft, the Emperor ordered the fleet to sink again.Of course, the mortal pilots couldn't compete with the battleships to challenge the temperature of the stars, and they couldn't get close to the enemy ships to fight in close quarters. They had to turn to make another plan, but they were immediately hit by a wave of close-in defense guns from the Emperor's fleet.

Soon, they were completely dispersed.

If the emperor wants to meet the enemy head-on, then now may be the best time.

Now there is no carrier-based aircraft around him, the enemy's position and movement are clear, and the distance is very appropriate. The temporary stability of the star state can be used as his bunker, or the route of advancement or retreat is completely unimpeded.

But the emperor did not rush out.Now the gap between him and the opponent's force is not too big, there is only a gap of 2000 ships.Although one's own equipment is obviously higher, but if one is accidentally caught by the opponent... Maybe the opponent can gain an overwhelming force advantage.

And Yang is worried about the same thing.So although he roughly determined the emperor's location through the carrier-based aircraft, he didn't rush over and open up a full siege to trap the emperor.

15 minutes of silence followed.The world is almost frozen, only the stars under their feet are still rising and burning.

The emperor fell silent, too, and for a moment he looked as perfect and motionless as a portrait.

However, when white smoke appeared on the horizon of distant stars, he quickly rushed to the communication platform and snatched the earphone of the communicator who was connected to the main channel of the fleet and yelled inside, even Xiutley couldn't catch him: "Keep Momentum don't shy away don't move! Don't be pushed into the stars!"

He then returned the headset to the correspondent very politely.At the same time, Mr. Adjutant rushed to the scene, and before he even had time to speak, he pushed the emperor to sit on a chair aside, and held him down to prevent him from falling in the ensuing shelling or something.

Then there was the shot of billowing smoke and dust bursting and erupting on the zenith screen, and everyone could feel that Brenhill was hit.But everyone also knows that the non-Newtonian fluid armor, which cost the emperor a lot of money, will not take this kind of attack seriously-after being shot, Brenhill doesn't even move, and the zenith screen can Seeing that the surrounding ships were all safe and sound.

"My ship was shot in two places, but there was no visible damage." "Six light cruisers were damaged in the flank direction at 4 o'clock, but the fleet was not damaged." Someone soon reported the loss.

It has to be said that this time even the emperor himself felt that the money was well spent.

Pushing Shutley away, Reinhardt stood up and ran back to the command seat.But he didn't sit down, but slowly turned around and looked around the zenith screen.Then there was a long silence—the Emperor was in no hurry, because he knew Yang had switched directions—while reports from the scout ships began to flood the Emperor.

Finally, he issued a new order: "All ships turn 80 degrees horizontally to port, and wait for another round of enemy shelling."

The order was passed on at full speed.Then it was the movement of the entire fleet to deflect the bow of the ship in situ, and just when they were about to complete this movement, the second round of missile firing by Yang Fleet rose up at the horizon at 12 o'clock after they turned around, with a magnificent Arc up to the zenith, then swoop down to hit their top armor.

The emperor sat down on the command seat very consciously.

This bombardment was far more powerful than the previous one.The emperor felt that Brenhill trembled, and under the action of the blast, he sank suddenly, and then quickly floated back to its original position.

This convinced him that the other party must be planning to come from this direction.Without any hesitation, he gave the order to retreat along the surface of the star, and sent his first round of shelling to the opponent.

Because of the curvature of the stellar arc, the emperor's fleet couldn't directly see the fire at the point of impact.But the report from the reconnaissance team soon showed that the shelling was effective: Although the planned impact point was a little behind and landed on the rear wing of the enemy who had already leveled the formation because the opponent's fleet was also moving greatly, this wave of artillery fire still destroyed the opponent. Many warships.

Although it seemed to be the side that was retreating, the emperor knew that as long as he was consumed like this, the opponent would definitely collapse before himself.

Now the armor defense of the alliance ships is much lower than that of the own side, and it is certain that their live ammunition load and automation are also lower than their own.As long as he sticks to the surface of the star and keeps a sufficient distance from the opponent to get a good angle so that the opponent cannot use beam weapons that cannot be turned, it will be a matter of time before they are exhausted by his own long-range missiles.

And if they dare to raise their heads and show their heads, then the high-power neutron cannons, heat rays, and x-ray cannons of the Emperor Fleet can also be used immediately.

But the emperor also knew very well that Yang would not sit still.

In the next few hours, he was in a state of full concentration. The control fleet gradually retreated and took multiple rounds of intensive bombardment. Yang's left wing was almost broken by him.

He didn't understand why he wasn't moving yet.

But then he understood, because suddenly he saw a golden-red, bright and tumbling dot inexplicably appearing on the rear edge of his fleet. If he was not mistaken, there should have been a big explosion there.And he was sure that Yang's troops were not there.

The only reasonable explanation is that it was a pre-set machine mine—in the process of going around with him just now, Yang found a place to plant a machine mine, and forced himself to bear the losses caused by his own bombardment, so he just went around to the machine mine. The place where the mines are located, and now his rear should be full of machine mines.

This made Reinhardt feel that Yang no longer cared about the lives of his men or himself.

But in fact, Yang really can't care about anything.At such a juncture, life simply becomes an elusive nothingness that is elusive and disappears at any time.It is useless to linger on nothingness, only tangible victory can save everything and give all sacrifices enough weight.

The time is almost up, and it is meaningless to continue to drag, it will only let you fall into the other party's trap and be at the mercy of the other party.The emperor demanded the initiative, and he could no longer bear it.

"Stop retreating. Keep the distance and use the fastest circular motion to go around their heads. All the turrets have the maximum power and maximum fire rate. Don't stop without my order!"

This order simply made all the officers and soldiers of the Emperor's fleet rejoice.Like the emperor, they have held back long enough, and now the desire to fight is rolling in their veins, prompting them to completely forget about their own life and death, and just want to experience the feeling of tearing each other or being torn apart by the other party.

Swarms of soot-laden missiles and medium shells flew out like crazy.The emperor could clearly feel the movement of Brenhill trembling and moving backward under the strong recoil force, and at the same time being pushed back by the precise anti-deviation system of the main computer.Then the starry sky on the zenith screen and the stars under the feet suddenly moved, flipping quickly and drastically at an incredible angle.

This allowed the emperor to be sure that his order had been carried out exactly.

Soon the height was enough, and he began to be able to see the enemy fleet lying on the surface of the star in a horizontal array through the smoke of the tail, and it seemed that it was about to be swallowed into the solar wind.And just when he could see them, the indiscriminate bombardment of beam weapons began.

The explosion sent violent winds across the surface of the star.Various light beams presented different colors, and poured down on the top armor of the alliance fleet like a torrential rain. The solid cannons mixed in it even pushed some light ships directly into the flames of the stars, and penetrated the armor of the rest of the ships, causing a huge explosion. The flames exploded brightly like fireworks.

In fact, after this, it can be said that the final outcome has been predetermined.But for the current Confederate forces, the general concept of victory and defeat is meaningless.

The emperor imagined countless reactions they would do, such as spreading out to avoid the frontal firepower to outflank him, immediately moving away quickly to go behind the star, or even turning around and leaving to wait for him to chase.

But in the end, they chose the most direct and effective way, but the cost was very painful - they raised the bow of the ship, pushed the engine power to 100%, started directly from the original position, bathed in the rain of bullets with the most positive front The angle rushed towards the emperor's fleet.

"Don't retreat! You are not allowed to retreat! Let go of the team immediately to avoid collision!" The emperor yelled on the bridge, and then watched the surrounding ships gradually distance themselves from him.

At the same time, the alliance's fleet approached frantically like a tongue of flame, prompting the emperor to order again to stop the long-range bombardment and replace it with short-range defense, and at the same time release all Valkyries.

A real dogfight ensued.

The Emperor's Fleet started to move backwards again, leading the Yang Fleet, which had already bit their forward, to move at a large angle.The enemy's beams and shells kept knocking on their extremely expensive armor, bringing great mental pressure to them, and destroying the shell of one of them at an uncertain moment, piercing its hull, Turn it into flames.

The Allied forces themselves are being consumed at a rate of more than five times.

Compared with the armor of the Emperor's fleet, their defenses were simply vulnerable, and the swept close-in artillery was enough to destroy them. Many cruisers were even directly dismantled by Valkyrie, and they collapsed and disintegrated without a large explosion.

But even though he was about to be wiped out, Yang's offensive remained undiminished.Huberian simply appeared directly at the front of the team, leading other ships to keep approaching Brun Hill, which was originally in the middle of the fleet.

Just as the emperor imagined, Yang did not cheat. He stood at the forefront of the battle and even changed Huberian for this matter, adding a magnetic disk and a landing port unique to the anti-aircraft landing ship. , Guangming put himself as a bet in front of the emperor.

I have to admit that the emperor really admires this.Of course, he also understood that under such circumstances, Yang would have to personally come here and use his status as the emperor to blackmail the imperial army so that they would not be able to snipe him, but he still admired his courage and courage.

However, no matter how much the emperor respects the opponent, his subordinates cannot allow what Yang wants to do to the emperor to come true—even though Reinhardt’s order was not received, the captain still controlled the flagship to retreat several times, constantly avoiding the opponent edge.In such a chaotic situation, the surrounding ships would never dare to fire in the direction of the emperor's flagship.

It's just that they can't hide like this forever.

Soon, Brenhill had almost reached the edge of the fleet.The emperor roughly judged the situation and felt that things had almost reached that point.So he finally issued an order: "The first-level danger alert is officially activated, and preparations for landing have begun."

Brenhill almost exploded without being shot.

Although he was on the bridge, Reinhardt could feel that the whole ship was busy instantly.Some operators left their positions to prepare for the landing battle, and his emperor's office at the back of the bridge also started to act—the girls and boys working as confidential secretaries carried a lot of documents and various processors and PCs to run Entering the command hall, he hurriedly placed them on the large command table next to Reinhardt, then turned around and ran out to get other things.Because if the bridge where the emperor is invaded by the opponent, it will be the most tightly guarded and safest, so they must move all important things here.

Then the emperor found the one he had been paying attention to among these figures.

"Mittermeier." He stopped the other party with his mouth.Xiutelai didn't react for a while, but instinctively started to look for the young marshal he was familiar with, and finally realized who the emperor called.

The girl stopped in her tracks, and turned around unexpectedly to salute the emperor.

The emperor looked at her, thinking that if he was not the emperor, another Mittermeier would definitely beat him.But with her short-cropped gray blond hair, her uniform-fitting look, and the physique she'd acquired after successfully passing 16 weeks of Marine Corps recruit training, he felt she was a soldier, too.

He respects all fighters.

So he swallowed back the words he originally wanted to tell her to stay on the relatively safe bridge to wait for the battle to end, and just nodded to her as a weird greeting.

And the other party really thought he was just saying hello out of politeness.After smiling at the emperor and saluting again, Ai Fang immediately turned around and went about her business.

The emperor watched her leave.

Next, he began to try to recall the main points of using the rifles and pistols that are now standard in the empire, and searched his mind for the feeling he had when playing with the military stab and dagger.

To be honest, although physical training has not been interrupted for a day, he is still not sure how far his individual ability is now.However, he is still very confident in leading such an excellent emperor's guard to a street battle - even if he doesn't know the structure of Huberian or the strength of the defense team it carries, he is still very excited.

He would be honored to stand in front of Yang and capture him as the other wanted to do to him or shoot him through the head with his own hands, which would certainly not be an insult to him.

So he stood up, intending to speak to Shuterai to tell him what to do next.He knew very well that the opponent would scream and stop him from making such a defensive switch that normal people would absolutely not accept, but of course he still had to speak up when the situation came to an end.

In fact, now Huberian is getting close to an unbearable point.Other ships were even more afraid to rescue the emperor with artillery fire.The captain was also forced to command Brenhill to sink sharply to the point where he was almost out of the team. At the same time, he was extremely tricky and kept getting stuck in the opponent's dead corner, forcibly pulling Brenhill from the opponent's gun muzzle and the gate that obviously protruded from the ship. The front of the landing port was adjusted, but Reinhardt could feel that he could not hold on for much longer.

It will be too late if you don't act.

"Mr. Shortley." He greeted his adjutant.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I..." He opened his mouth and made such a sound.

But then he lost his ability to speak, because he saw a large area of ​​abnormal images appeared on the zenith screen—something huge, brightly colored, and astonishing suddenly came from under the port side of Brenhill. Rising up, rubbing their sides, smashing head-to-head against Hyperion's belly armor, and forcibly rising against it with the large sparks caused by the impact.

The emperor felt that this red color looked very familiar to the ship's belly structure passing in front of him, and the huge jet vent on the rear side in the distance.

Then, just before the emperor regained his ability to speak, a great billowing cloud of dust rose from the contact between Barbarossa's side and the bottom of the Hyperion.

Barbarossa's side near-defense guns were selected and replaced by the emperor himself. There are 16 guns on each side, all of which are 90mm caliber 12-link live ammunition guns with a rate of fire of 8000 rounds per minute.Now the interior of Huberian should have been turned into a burning hive, and Barbarossa, who opened fire at such a distance, also suffered an extremely severe test.

The emperor's speech ability could not be recovered.

It was so close to being unbearable, he just watched Hubrian, who had been opened with countless holes, and the internal flames began to spew out, forcibly staggered away from Barbarossa, began to retreat desperately, slowly widened his eyes, and finally let out a cry Extremely ferocious, extremely insane, a real roar that definitely cannot be classified as a roar.

For a while, everyone on the bridge didn't even dare to breathe.Only the captain remained in a relatively enthusiastic state—he stood there panting and looked at the emperor who was also panting, feeling very grateful that he was completely safe now, and at the same time, although he had seen himself covered with medals, The future who has left his name in history still has an indescribable desire to rush to the front of the commander's seat and slap the emperor with a love-hate relationship.
