Chapter 1755 I want to enjoy my old age
In short, King Solane's order finally gave the anxious Imperial Army officers a sense of relief. Facts have proved that as long as they unite their thoughts, elite Imperial Army soldiers can complete complex fleet operations even in the face of the enemy's surging artillery fire.
After receiving the order, King Thorane's fleet began to extend its fleet array in all directions, finally leaving a path for the Tirero's brave retreat, and at the same time forming a defensive line in front of the Xiaolong.
The Imperial Army finally took a breath of relaxation.
As for the Community fleet in front, after seeing the opponent's posture, they gradually stopped bombarding and began to retreat step by step. Even the fighters from all walks of life who were dancing the dance of death spat at each other and formed their formations through gritted teeth.
The young King Suo looked at the fleet operations of his subordinates, and sighed in an old-fashioned way again: "The reason why I chose the Xiaolong as my flagship is because of its firepower. I hope to gallop across the galaxy, and I hope that Use this 'War Dragon Roar' to destroy all enemies, but in the end you can only hide behind your subordinates and tremble."
The design of this Titan is too extreme, and it was originally meant to operate surrounded by a large fleet. Destroying enemies is reasonable, but galloping across the galaxy is just too much thinking.
The chief of staff was thinking while saying: "My subordinates think that you should be proud of your calmness. If we had just been hit by the fierce attack of the Dragon of Dawn, our situation at this time may not be better than that of the Yongjin." .”
"I told you, dad, you are not very good at comforting people... Wait, what did you mean just now, that I am also his target?"
"My subordinates are just guessing. However, the enemy will think of using fighter tactics, which can be used on the Pilgrimage, so why not us? Your Highness, the extraordinary ones on the Xiaolong are actually weaker than the Dragon Boat."
King Solain had to admit that what the other party said made sense, and he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
One or two regiments of landing soldiers cannot drive away the Titan, but they can destroy it unscrupulously. At that time, it will be even more miserable than the unlucky Yongjin, and it may even be scuttled.
At this time, the Tiruiluo Yongjin, which had been withdrawn, happened to pass within a distance visible to the naked eye. Looking at the Yongjin that passed him by, King Thoren always felt as if the other party was acting as a stand-in for him. The heavy feeling of guilt and the sudden emotion mixed into an indescribable complex emotion. .
However, at this moment, communication was connected again, and it was coming from the injured friendly ship on the other side.
Immediately afterwards, the appearance of Duke Garibian was also reflected in the communication window. After such a disgraceful battle, her face was indeed a bit pale and blue, with a hint of black on the blue, and even her cheekbones were much more obvious.
Can high-intensity psychic warfare burn even fat and muscle? King Thorane, who was only in the third ring, was puzzled, but he was indeed shocked.
Of course, even so, the Duke's expression was very calm and natural, and even his demeanor was a bit solemn.
"Admiral Misaro has died in the battle. Marquis Trono wants comprehensive treatment and needs to return home. I will return to the Heaven Realm and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor. All matters here will be left to His Highness. I really feel that now I'm too embarrassed to see anyone, so I ask you to tell Marshal Ikenluojia and tell him to forgive me for escaping from the battlefield." She smiled calmly.
If she really left like this, it would indeed constitute an act of escaping from the battlefield. However, who would use this crime to punish a royal duke, a quasi-demigod who is only one step away from the eighth ring?
In other words, looking at the other person like this, it is really debatable whether he can be a demigod or not.
"Thank you for your hard work, aunt..." Although they were rivals who once competed for the throne, there is really no direct conflict. The blood relationship between the two is not particularly close, but after all, they are also psykers of the royal family of Solane, so they have many opportunities to get along with each other, and their personal relationship is quite good.
Now that the strongest psyker in the Dawn royal family other than the emperor has become like this, King Solane just feels desolate, and even feels an uncontrollable panic.
The new leader of the Astral Knights, even an excessive leader, failed miserably twice in a row. This is an ominous sign! What will happen to the Knights in the future?
If the Knights just pull their hips, what will happen to the Empire?
"What about the future? If Your Majesty is not going to hang my head on the highest tower of Longlin Palace to comfort the fallen soldiers, I will not leave Tianyu again. From now on, I will just do some daily management work step by step. If If we can find a few successors with good talents, it will probably be a success." She was still calm and calm, as if she had completely entered a state of not being happy with things or feeling sad for herself.
King Soleyn thought of the previous generation leader. It is said that during the rebellion war on Earth, Duke Sadolan and his comrades were defeated by Lan Jiufeng's sword and fell into a lifelong nightmare. Until he challenges again and then falls.
This story looks like a replica of Duke Garibian. But at least, Sadulan back then could turn the humiliation of defeat into deep resentment and endless fighting spirit.
"Yes! As long as no one comes to cause trouble, at least you can spend your old age peacefully." She added another sentence, showing a smile full of yearning and hope.
It's over. The royal family member who was recognized as the first demigod in this century is gone. Can we only count on Sister Bryn in the future?
Just when he thought of this, Duke Garibian on the opposite screen seemed to have a tacit understanding and said: "By the way, please be sure to tell His Highness King Suliuka that the Supreme Throne of the Void is changing every second. Is she ready to suck up a ton of blood and the equivalent of souls?”
"Aunt..."
"Please ask her to understand these words from the front. Hehehehe, so do you, King Wei, and so does that damn faggot. Everyone of you who is interested in that crown should learn to understand it from the front." She was finally no longer calm, but every wrinkle in her smile seemed to have a hint of collapse.
I'm really not interested in the throne, so I'm not the material.
King Thoren felt very unjust and even a little frightened, but his cousin had already let out a series of destructive laughter and went offline on the spot.
The young emperor-select remained silent for half a minute before he spoke in confusion: "How should I deal with what I heard today?"
The chief of staff just wanted to prick his own ears five minutes ago, so he said calmly: "The matter is now over, Your Highness, let's focus on the battle situation in front of us first."
At this time, the Community fleet and King Soren's fleet had completely distanced themselves and were rapidly retreating in the direction of the main event. The latter did not receive the commander's order, so of course he had to wait where he was. In fact, they had almost lost the energy to continue the attack, and it would take at least a month of rest before they could recover.
Fortunately, in this galaxy, there are still friendly forces with full physical strength and fighting spirit. Even more fortunately, they still have a good commander.
As the supreme commander, Marshal Ikenroga did not force the exhausted "front army" to rush forward, but only ordered his own team to speed up. As a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles, he can certainly see that the Earth fleet on the opposite side has reached its limit. So, now is the time to press forward with the entire army.
He also ordered the two groups on the left and right wings to increase their offensive at the same time.
However, at this time, the goddess of luck still took the lead in casting a wink at the Earth Fleet. First, the Thor and Admiral Rosanaio were preparing to flank the main body of the fortress. They didn't encounter too powerful enemies along the way, but after all, they still spent a lot of time on 4 sub-fortresses and double-digit small fortresses.
However, they are still advancing step by step in an orderly manner. However, just before the Thor was about to use long-range sublight speed missiles to bombard the homeland of Fortress Seder, the Community soldiers in its direction made a crazy move.
In a small fortress that had surrendered, several soldiers acting as dead soldiers suddenly used a large number of space shock bombs to detonate the core of the fortress' energy furnace.
Of course they saw a large Imperial fleet passing nearby. In other words, that was what they planned from the beginning.
The entanglement of large mass and disordered energy, coupled with the gravitational disorder caused by the violent aerial shock, immediately created a turbulent force field in the fleet at the scene.
In such a vast and infinite universe, various astronomical phenomena are endless. Interstellar storms, whether caused by radiation or gravity, have long been commonplace. Many veteran captains and navigators don't even bother to record this phenomenon in their logbooks.
However, the force field storm bloomed at this time, but it did cause the fleet on the empire's side to temporarily stop and had to reorganize the fleet.
On the other side, King Shazamen, who was preparing to bypass the outer ring and cut off the fleet's retreat, always carried out his offensive in a somewhat unhurried manner. It seems that after he encountered the fierce fight in the "maze" fortress, he had a little bit of a sense of letting nature take its course
...Okay, before Duke Garibian's showdown, King Shazam's showdown started.
However, after all, his marching route was the longest among the imperial fleets, and he was indeed marching according to the plan. Although he always encountered various interceptions, he did not stop his march after all. In this case, it is not appropriate to insist that it is "showing off". Maybe there are other considerations.
And indeed it is. As the chief of general staff of the entire army, King Shazamen has received the entire battle report on the capture of the Pilgrimage.
"The core is the psyker piloting the fighter plane. Who is she?"
"Colonel Fina Li, the adjutant and mistress of the 'Dragon of Dawn'. Current intelligence shows that she is the 'driver' of the third ring." An intelligence staff officer quickly reported Feifei's resume.
"Oh, I know she is a respectable and talented woman. Your choice of words is disrespectful and even more objective. This is not the report I want to hear." King Sha pointed at the intelligence consultant: "You, Go find yourself a second officer on a destroyer.”
The intelligence staff member was stunned on the spot, but before he could plead, he was dragged away by the guards.
Of course, it was probably because this guy was a Letalin, and he was not very popular in intelligence, so no one at the scene interceded.
"I originally thought she was an upright beauty and a film artist with both talent and beauty, but I didn't expect that she was also a warrior and a top pilot. Hahaha, but considering her previous resume, it makes sense. Haha, this is Give all opportunities to shine to love Is she human? She is such an admirable woman among women. Oh, poor King Suliuka." King Shazamen gossiped with interest, and then switched to academic military theory. Home researcher, with a solemn expression:
"That new fighter plane is really sharp. If it is equipped with a space beacon weapon, it can perform the most flexible gang-hopping operations."
"However, the cost is too high..." a subordinate said.
"Considering the battle damage rate of the assault landing craft, the cost may not be so high." Of course, some people have different opinions.
"The main attackers who just captured the Preview were Brigadier General Bai Ziqi and Colonel Mina Walter." the adjutant reported.
"I also know this female warrior. She is the third generation of the Spirit Research Association. I remember her nickname is 'Tai'a'. She is indeed sharp, but she is definitely not inferior to Shameen. The earth is really rich! Master Lan deserves to enjoy the empire. Don’t you think that Master Tantai is more suitable to serve as the leader of the Astral Knights?”
In this case, there are too many yin and yang people. As an elected emperor, you can speak freely, but ordinary officers only think of Alexander.
"Pay attention to air defense. I can't guarantee that there won't be any other masters from the Spiritual Research Society here. Also, let all the crew members of the battleship wear armor, immediately!"
It can only be said that as an academic, the Sand King may be more stable and cautious than a veteran like Marshal Ikenroga. However, considering the tragic situation of the Pilgrimage just now, no one can blame it.
As for the frontal battlefield that Marshal Ikenluojia was personally responsible for, the expected results were not immediately achieved.
The Athena and all remaining reserve fleets on Earth have already positioned themselves in this direction and are ready to respond to the remaining ships. They had already started an artillery battle with the accelerating Imperial battle cruiser.
At this time, the powerful fortress cannons on the fortress finally began to roar.
Admiral Sylvester was very satisfied. In order to defend this galaxy, he installed four more powerful fortress cannons on the fortress where he lived and served for many years. This has actually exceeded the design limit of the fortress itself.
It can be said that every salvo fired by the fortress' artillery is a loss of life for the fortress.
But yes, by this time, no one believed that this fortress could survive ten years. Why don't you spend all your life now and wait to be accepted by the empire as a trophy?
Like the thunder of judgment from heaven, the positron beam condensed into a beam of light and continuously smashed into the void. It severely damaged a particularly brave battle cruiser on the spot, and the subsequent naval gun bombardment caused this person to be hit on the spot. A giant ship disappeared into the starry sky.
The imperial fleet still maintained a high fighting spirit and fought back forcefully. However, at this time, this senseless tactical behavior no longer makes much sense.
The remaining company, which had ensured the support of friendly forces, had led its fleet one after another to break away from the forefront of the crossfire line and advance in an orderly manner under the cover of the fortress artillery.
At this time, Marshal Ikenluojia also sent an order: "Stop the attack temporarily and reorganize the fleet. The Tiruluo Yongjin retreated to the rear and immediately entered the emergency rescue procedure. The Xiaolong was directly incorporated into the team, and the commander Directly commanded by the Ministry.”
This was equivalent to relieving King Soleyn from commanding the "former army", but the latter, as a young and energetic young man, was not dissatisfied and even breathed a sigh of relief.
He now really felt that the position of commander-in-chief of the First Army was indeed too far ahead for him. He had already devoted all his energy to being able to serve as the admiral of a medium-sized squadron.
