The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1833. Strange situation

That is an extremely huge battleship!

In front of this battleship, the 176-meter-long frigate Normandie is as small as a mouse in front of an elephant! Even the mysterious three 300-meter-long light cruisers are still extremely small.

I only saw that the battleship was still moving forward after leaving hyperspace, and one of the light cruisers was moving at high speed in this direction, and it happened to hit him!

Without any suspense, the light cruiser was directly smashed into countless pieces by this giant ship! After a violent explosion, the giant ship passed through the flames of the explosion without any damage and flew towards the other two light cruisers.

This is an endless super aircraft carrier!

The 5694.2-meter-long giant ship is an unattainable giant in front of the light cruiser!

On the frigate Normandy, the pilot Jeff Morrow cheered directly, "Hahahaha!! Great! The Ever Given is coming!!"

At this time, a majestic voice also came from the public frequency call, [Stop the engine immediately and lower the shield! Otherwise we will sink you! 】

The communication urging surrender was repeated several times, but the remaining two light cruisers had no intention of stopping. One of them took the initiative and continued to shoot the Normandy, while the other one turned around and tried to escape.

But in the face of the ferocious firepower of the Endless-class super aircraft carrier, both escape and resistance are in vain! After a dense volley of heavy turbolaser cannons, the other two light cruisers were also blown into cosmic dust.

At the same time, Jeff Morrow also piloted the Normandy frigate towards the bottom of the second Infinity-class super aircraft carrier, the Eternal. And from there, it took a vertical attitude, flew into the Eternity's battleship spaceport, and was fixed on the docking module of the spaceport.

In this huge spaceport, two other 575-meter-long Steadfast-class cruisers, also parked vertically, were leaving the spaceport at the same time, preparing to salvage and explore the area where the battle had just occurred.

Shepard took the two crew members, Ashley Williams and Caiden Alanco, directly to the spaceport and took rail transportation to the bridge. The other crew members, including the two ghost agents, have been temporarily disbanded. They will first go to the flight control department to register, and then they can go to the living area to rest.

Arriving at the bridge of the Eternal, which was as wide as a square, Shepard walked to the central command center and saw only a middle-aged man in his 40s wearing a white general uniform coming to greet him.

Shepard immediately stood at attention and saluted, "General He! Thank you for your rescue."

The middle-aged man is the captain of the Eternal and the commander-in-chief of this unknown star field exploration fleet, Lieutenant General He Ru.

He was originally the captain of the Dawn-class mothership, but because of his good performance, he was transferred to the Eternal.

The Brilliance of Dawn class mothership is the renamed version of the Hiigara class mothership in "Homeworld". He commanded the first ship of the Glory of Dawn class mothership to participate in the Battle of Terminus, and later participated in the attack on Egypt. The battle for the planet Riadhu.

As a spaceship whose main functions are logistics supply and battlefield frontline production line deployment, He Hao commanded his mothership to complete the mission well and won first-class merit in the battle.

Merit does not necessarily require fighting and killing. It is equally important to be able to complete one's tasks conscientiously.

After the Battle of Eriadu, He Ru continued to stay on Eriadu and used the production capacity of the Dawn Glory-class mothership to continue to serve the planet's post-war reconstruction, and he delivered a perfect answer.

Therefore, after the completion of the second ship of the Endless-class super aircraft carrier, the Eternal, He Ru, who was promoted to Vice Admiral, was transferred to the Eternal as the captain, and after the unknown star field exploration plan was launched, he became this exploration fleet. commander in chief.

This appointment was made because Tang Xiao felt that He Ru was a mature and prudent person who could cooperate well with Shepard.

At this moment, He Ru stepped forward, returned a salute to Shepard, and then said: "We also detected the fluctuations of the hyperspace jump. We were worried that something might happen to you, so we rushed over as soon as possible. It seems that my My judgment was correct, you were indeed attacked. What was the situation?"

Shepard nodded and recounted what happened during their exploration, and then said doubtfully: "It's strange that the other party came here with almost no warning and opened fire directly, and the purpose was very clear, which was to destroy the outpost. stand."

After hearing this, He Ru also frowned, "I originally thought you had provoked the defenders... but I didn't expect this to be the case. So, the other party may have discovered us before and asked for help? Or is it their robots? Did you send a message when you were attacked?”

"I don't know, at least the Normandy did not intercept their communications." Shepard said, "But I judge that the other party should have been in the nearby star field, and then automatically sent a rescue signal as soon as the robot lost contact. And from Judging from the other party’s reaction, they may have anticipated the attack on this outpost.”

"There is another possibility, that is, the owners of these three cruisers and the outpost are originally two waves of people, and they are fighting." He Ru said.

"If that's the case, the situation is more complicated," Shepard said.

"Anyway, let's analyze the host you brought back first. You should go and rest quickly. I think something like this happened. Maybe a large-scale conflict will break out during this exploration." He Ru said.

"yes!"

…

The Eternal super aircraft carrier quickly left the star field after basically salvaging the three cruisers and the wreckage of the bombed outpost.

It was already three days later when Shepard received the news that the preliminary analysis of the host was completed. She came out of the training room, took a quick shower and went directly to the technical laboratory.

Lieutenant General He Ru had already arrived in advance. Also here were Ashley and Caiden, as well as two imposing officers wearing the uniforms of the Fourth Army Corps.

A human, a Semelth.

Captain Huang Yehao and Captain Cummings! They are one of the best soldiers who joined the Fourth Army from the Army, and this time they also led a 300-man Fourth Army combat company as the backbone of the ship-borne Marine Corps in this exploration of the unknown star field. The force sets off with the ship.

This time, contact with an unknown race and even a firefight are naturally what the Marines need to focus on.

Only a scientist was seen crawling out of a pile of wreckage, and while looking at the screen on the wrist universal tool, he said: "We compared the data in the database of the destroyed enemy cruiser and the database of the outpost host. Preliminary Come to a conclusion - they all come from the same civilization, the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium!"
