The Empire's first military airport.

Xia Lin and all the generals stood on the observation tower at the commanding height of the airport, looking at the huge starship below which was hoisted by countless crane arms.

"This is currently the largest starship in the Empire, the Mountain. This starship has a capacity of up to 25 people, and can carry 1000 mechs, 1000 fighters, [-] small and medium-sized separation ships, and more than [-] For other small combat units, the hull is equipped with [-] powerful turrets and five layers of energy defense shields, which are top-notch in both attack and defense."

"The starship uses the latest energy internal circulation design. It can still sail in the universe for more than half a year without supplies. When in space, it can also absorb the energy diffused by stars such as stars to replenish itself. In addition, the starship There are five large ecological maintenance cabins inside, which can produce enough sunlight and oxygen for more than [-] people to live at the same time, and the domestic waste generated can also be converted into energy to supply the starship here."

Director Norman, the head of the Imperial Military Industry Bureau, introduced Xia Lin.

"This starship has been built for 12 years, and it was not fully completed until a year and a half ago. As of June this year, the Military Industry Bureau has conducted five long-distance sea trials and three medium-to-high-intensity combat exercises on it, and found no problems. , the data in all aspects met or even exceeded expectations. In the past few days, we have sent engineers to conduct a thorough maintenance inspection on the entire ship again to ensure that the expedition can go smoothly."

Xia Lin inspected the majestic giant below. It is oblate as a whole, with a length and width of about [-] meters. Compared with a starship, it is more like a moving city. Even if the main ship of the Dark Star stops in front of it, it will become Be like a toy.

At this time, this huge monster was hoisted by an unknown number of jibs. Thousands of engineering vehicles were arranged in a haphazard manner beside it, and countless engineers in white overalls were busy inside and outside of it.

The difficulty of building a starship increases geometrically with its size. The larger the mecha, the greater the kinetic energy required to start and run it, and the higher the probability of problems encountered during space navigation. Moreover, the starship is loaded with not only Humans, as well as various fighter jets and munitions equipment that take up space several times, tens of times, or hundreds of times larger than humans. In the past, starships like Dark Star with a limit capacity of 5 people already existed as giants. Not to mention the mountain number in front of you.

The group of them standing on the watchtower are like gnats perched on the tip of thatch, looking at the giant elephant perched beside them, and their hearts are shaken by their own insignificance.

Even Xia Lin, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help holding his breath at this moment, deeply shocked by it.

"Good job." It took a long time for Xia Lin to let out a deep breath and show a faint smile.

With the approval of the new emperor, Director Norman couldn't help smiling, but he was soon forced to suppress him, coughed twice, and continued to speak seriously.

"In addition to the Shanshan, we, together with tens of thousands of mechanics and engineers recruited by the people, have also conducted strict overhauls on other starships and fighter bodies participating in the expedition. The Mr. Sassi you introduced contributed an application It is a technology with a wide range of properties. It only needs to slightly adjust the energy circuit to reduce the energy consumption of the starship defense cover and the charging speed of the main gun by 3% to 5%, while increasing the energy cover and firepower by 5% to 7%. Due to time constraints, we have only upgraded all main ships including Dark Star and Candle Dragon and other core fighters for the time being, but the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary force has been greatly improved."

"In addition, we have also prepared a special supply ship. This supply ship is equipped with additional medical personnel, mechanics and other logistics personnel, as well as a large number of combat supplies. The supply ship has only one powerful main gun, but its defense performance is not good. It is excellent, as many as ten layers of energy shield can withstand a satellite-level meteorite impact, or a full blow from the main gun of an S-class starship."

After listening quietly, Xia Lin nodded again.

All past wars took place within the empire. This is the first time that the imperial army has left the country. For expeditionary operations, supplies and logistics are crucial.

After continuing to review the initial preparations for the starship and combat supplies, Xia Lin and a group of generals moved to a meeting hall in the side hall of the palace.

In the center of the meeting room is a huge screen, which shows the star map of the empire and the city of glory.

The star map of the empire is full of stars, the different star regions and administrative regions are clearly divided, and all kinds of signs are readily available, but the block representing the star field under the jurisdiction of the Glory City is only marked with 36 near the border of the empire. The war zone, and the corresponding fortress in the war zone, but after crossing the fortress, there is chaos and darkness.

In the deepest part of chaos and darkness, there is a strange shuttle-shaped star quietly suspended in the universe, and this is the City of Glory.

Admiral Bourne, the Chief of Staff, drew a white line on the screen, connecting a planet on the eastern border of the empire with the nearest fortress of Glory City.

"The shortest path from the empire to the star field under the jurisdiction of the City of Glory is through the Far East Star Field, starting from the Red Shore Star, and after about three days of interstellar travel, we will arrive at the Lake Fortress, the gateway to the first theater of the Radiance Knights."

He pointed to this white line, "The Lakelight Fortress was originally garrisoned by the Blazing Knights, but now their main force has been dispersed in the previous Red Shore Star Wars. With our strength, we should be able to break through the fortress soon. , and then enter the vast star field under the control of Glory City."

"It's just that there is a problem here. The City of Glory is not like the empire that has many inhabited planets. They plundered all the planets and then abandoned them. Therefore, after entering the star field controlled by them, all we can encounter are planets. There is no Death Star worth attacking, and their base camp, Glory City, is located in the deepest part of the universe. We don't know the distribution of their windows. If the starship alone flies in a straight line in the universe, it may take at least three It will take a month to reach the star sector where the City of Glory is located."

"And once we break through the Huguang Fortress, Glory City will be able to receive the news immediately. During these three months, they have enough time to mobilize their forces to encircle us, and they can also use the quiet window to guide us along our way. If you want to break through their siege, it may not be easy to get close to Glory City."

Carlos nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, I have received information that the news of the empire's all-out war has reached Glory City, and the commander Hart, Lal, and Gordo have reached a cooperation, and Hart will lead the two under his command. Ten knight groups headed towards the Lakelight Fortress, and deployed defense lines along the way, preparing to intercept the imperial army."

"Hart? That guy is already very old, and usually shrinks more than anyone else, but this time he is so proactive. I really can't think of it." Someone said.

"It is precisely because he is getting old that he couldn't hold back this time." Another general replied, "After that defeat, two of the seats of the five commanders of Glory City have been vacant. It is enough to manage all the Knights in Glory City, so they have not been in a hurry to elect a new Grand Commander, but now there are only three Grand Commanders left, and the Royal City is very likely to issue an edict to force a new round of Grand Commanders Selection. Hart has few records in the past ten years, and his strength has declined sharply. It is very likely that he will not be in the top five, so he can't wait to perform and increase his bargaining chips for his succession."

"That's troublesome. Although Hart's combat power is not as good as it was during the Hundred Years' War, he has extremely rich battlefield experience, and he is extremely cunning. He is especially good at arranging troops and is not easy to deal with. And there are twenty The size of the Knights is already comparable to our starting force, even if we have the advantage of the starship, the outcome is still unknown."

Everyone said their brows were already wrinkled.

"So this time we won't go to the Far East Starfield." Xia Lin said suddenly, breaking the depressed atmosphere, and paused again, "Let's go to the Deep Blue Starfield."

"Dark blue star field? Isn't it located in the inner ring of the empire?" Carlos was taken aback, but quickly realized, "Could it be that there is a dark window leading to the outer domain?"

Xia Lin dialed twice on his personal terminal, and there was a slight change on the large central screen of the conference hall.

The two planets in the dark blue star field light up, and in the center of them, a dark purple circle symbol emerges. A dotted line of the same dark purple starts from the circle and spans the long empire star field. Stop in an empty area.

"There is a hidden window between the sea blue star and the sea sand star in the deep blue star field. Through that window, you can go directly to the border of the empire bordering the third battle zone of the Radiance Knights. There is a barren star belt."

Xia Lin spoke in a flat tone, but the expression of Yixiute, who was sitting opposite him, changed drastically, and he almost knocked over the teacup in front of him.

That barren star belt is where Moz fell.

"Sorry, I lost my mind." Yixiute took a deep breath and apologized.

Xia Lin glanced at Yixiut, and continued: "Going up this barren star belt is the backlight fortress of the third battle zone of the Radiant Knights, but if you go in the opposite direction, you will enter a meteorite area after sailing for about a day. A meteorite area will enter another small star field."

Speaking of this, Xia Lin's tone changed, and his expression suddenly became serious, "This place is not included in the occupied area of ​​Glory City, and it doesn't even appear on their star map, but in this star field, there is a subspace Weak point, through the subspace tunnel, you can go directly to the star area where the city of glory is located!"

"Doesn't that mean that we can attack Glory City without a single soldier?" All the generals present were shocked.

"Don't be too happy." Xia Lin shook his head, "Behind the meteorite area is a fortress called Foglight. This fortress belongs to the great commander Naduo. The purpose of setting up it is to help him guard the existence of the subspace tunnel. In order to prevent the leak of news, the fortress only communicates with the outside world once a month, and now they still don’t know the news of Naduo’s defeat. In addition, after Naduo was defeated by me, his territory is already in chaos. He captured his territory and led Moz's old troops to rise up, preparing to seize his position as the commander. Now that many subordinates are too busy to take care of themselves. As long as we act fast enough, we should be able to destroy the fortress before the news spreads .”

"Then when the Radiance Knights were still waiting for us to fall into the net outside the star field, we had already descended directly to the City of Glory!"

Xia Lin's face was cold, everyone looked at each other, and their expressions became excited.
