Chapter 1800 Return to the Abyss
The battle officially started just after 12 noon. The two light carriers of the Imperial Army launched 120 light Foxx fighter jets into the air in advance.
These fighter jets were once the most outstanding clearance escort fighters in the universe, and they once showed their prowess in the Seventh Galactic War, but after all, this was half a century ago.
Under the bite and impact of the red ghost, their thin interception network was quickly trampled to pieces.
At the same moment, before the heavy cruisers of the Imperial fleet were preparing to begin their bombardment, the rebuilt Rogue Squadron Thunderbolts also began to move. Also dispatched with the lightning strike ships was the giant dragon ridden by Mina Walter.
There were four dragons on board the Pilgrimage. Except for Yu Lian's "Shanzi" and Feifei's "Hu Ji", the remaining two dragons were of course left to the psykers to take turns riding.
Yu Lian himself was also happy to train a group of dragon knights for the community by the way, and he also taught Colonel Walter and her private team everything. They are all the psychic combat power on the Pilgrimage except for himself and Feifei, and they are a full-time psychic combat team. The stronger they are, the more they can relieve their own pressure.
From the current point of view, the success of the training is quite gratifying. Although the dragons are very uncomfortable with the other three psykers, they are relatively accepting of Colonel Walter, who has reached the fourth ring.
This can explain that the empire’s so-called “dragon will only accept one master at a time”, “one person, one dragon, one life”, and “noble knights and loyal dragons” are all propaganda by the imperial devils. .
It would be really difficult for the current Colonel Mia to ride a dragon to attack Titans and Fearless like Yu Lian; but as a new dragon knight, she can already skillfully use the flame wing dragon's ray attack and high-speed impact , tearing apart the fire interception network of the small battleship.
Immediately afterwards, the lightning strike ship unfolded its light wings, penetrated through the loopholes torn by Colonel Walter, and launched an impact. At this time, it was just over an hour before the battle started.
As the bubble torpedoes began to tear apart the Imperial warships, just as they had done so many times over the past year. Of course, at this time, all the imperial fleets rushed in like sharks that smelled blood, blocking the patrol's retreat.
Yu Lian remained calm. Since he has handed over all command tasks to his captain, he will not interrupt again. Anyway, everything is currently under control.
What really moved him a little was the dreadnought Sapphire Grand Duchess that entered the battlefield at 14:15. This is part of the Said fleet cluster. During the long confrontation, Yu Lian had dealings with this ship several times.
This can probably be explained: The fleet in the direction of Said did not all rush into the territory of the community, but a considerable part turned back and launched a warning network near the border between Yunta and Bakwe.
Yu Lian fell into deep thought. He always felt that it was directed at him, and he always felt that it was a bit offensive.
Then, he opened his cosmic consciousness and allowed himself to "hear" a loud roar mixed with fanaticism, anger and pain: "Long live the Galactic Empire! I will live forever in the stars..."
Come on, a Feiyu-class heavy cruiser on the opposite side was struck by lightning by the Rogue Squadron. From the communication signal on the other side, it is almost certain that it is the flagship of this patrol fleet.
After the flagship was sunk, the frontal interception fleet, which had already suffered heavy losses, began to collapse.
Needless to say, what I just heard must be the last cry of that brave commander. What a model of an imperial aristocratic officer. His cry before his death almost turned into a desperate poem. What stood out was the dignity and elegance of a man who wanted to die.
As a powerful power of the Seven Rings, Yu Lian's use of "cosmic perception" has also reached the state of transformation, and his metaphysical perception can even surpass the galaxy. In extreme cases, of course he could hear the enemy ships on the opposite side, and he could even feel the pain and despair before death. Of course, this could not be heard with his ears, but Yu Lian still found it very noisy.
So, after it was confirmed that all of his fighters and lightning strike ships had returned, Yu Lian stood up and conveyed his opinion on the battlefield for the first time: "Captain, adopt Plan B."
The captain had almost no hesitation. After a slight pause, he immediately saluted Yu Lian: "Understood."
He turned around and immediately passed his order to the whole ship: "Very good, the whole ship has begun to accelerate, move forward 4. All crew members on the ship, prepare for the jump."
The navigator responded immediately: "Captain, the shipboard AI cannot determine the orientation of the gravity well. The jump engine cannot be started."
The captain responded loudly: "Then enter it manually. Do you need me to help you dial the scale?"
"Understood!" The navigator responded with the same loud voice. He is not a psyker, just an excellent technical officer who is proficient in astrophysics and ship knowledge, believes in calculation results and navigation parameters, and specializes in his field.
Not every spaceship can have a psyker as a navigator, and this kind of experienced old navigator is the backbone of the space shipping industry. They always feel that the navigation parameters obtained by those psychics using mysticism are all metaphysics. When the critical moment comes, they still have to believe in the calculation results.
This one here is no exception.
However, he believed in his commander, and of course he believed in the navigation information that the commander found out from nowhere.
His trust proved impossible to betray.
When a series of complex data entered the Pilgrimage's shipboard terminal, the navigator finally captured the signal of a gravity well. Although it was far from clear, it was indeed real.
The uncooperative cruiser really came to life, and the jump engine began to run vigorously as if it had been injected with abundant spiritual energy.
So, when more imperial fleets entered this galaxy, the dragon ship turned into a trail of light in front of their eyes and disappeared into the distant starry sky. "The jump was successful? Is there a gravity well there?"
"This is unscientific? This is within the empire! Why do the generals of the Earth people know the waterways that even we don't know?"
Imperial Army Major General Russ on the Sapphire Grand Duchess also quickly gave instructions: "Quick, record the quality information immediately! Analyze the spatial parameters! I will get the new gravity well data in two hours. Remember this , you only have two hours.”
"Report to King Suliuka and King Shazamen to determine the direction of the patrol ship. They have left the Cloud Tower Trail Channel and are sure to enter the Abyss Nebula."
As soon as his instructions were conveyed, another jump reaction occurred in the No. 1 gravity well on the front. Then, with hundreds of space vibrations, a large fleet with three battle cruisers and three aircraft carriers as the core began a mighty Dangdi appeared directly in front of him.
Needless to say, if the Preview continued to break through as planned, it would definitely plunge into the encirclement network of these imperial fleets.
"It's just one step away." Major General Russ looked regretful: "So why is there still a waterway?"
……
Although the Preview safely evacuated from the siege of the Imperial Army, it does not mean that everything is safe.
When everyone just stepped out of the jump channel, they immediately fell into a turbulent situation, as if they were in the middle of an earthquake again, or were being fired upon by hundreds of cannons.
Of course, there is also a possibility when entering a gravity well. The degree of turbulence is directly related to the stability of the channel and the condition of the ship.

"I thought we had come out of the gravity well." Anne Romanova said while turning the steering wheel to try to stabilize the ship.
"Really? I thought we were on a junk ship," the captain said.
Of course they knew that this must be caused by the extremely harsh astrological environment in the galaxy.
The captain immediately began to order: "Adjust the balance immediately, adjust from 7 to 12."
This means that the battleship consumes more energy in gravity simulation, but this is a price that can be paid.
Half a minute later, the captain replied with some confusion: "Have we stopped bumping?"
"No, on the contrary! Captain, the turbulence is getting worse!"
"It's worse than that, Captain! We're circling!"
In the captain's sight, he could clearly see with his naked eyes that the stars outside the porthole seemed to be thrown into a huge washing machine, spinning constantly.
However, of course it couldn't be stars hovering, it could only be ships.
He felt dizzy and had uncontrollable vomiting, so he quickly looked away, and then ordered his subordinates to close the visual portholes immediately.
The dizzying circling starry sky was blocked by the thick light-shielding armor, but this did not affect the patrol's observation capabilities.
The lookout's voice immediately sounded: "Captain, a high-quality reaction has been found, initially estimated to be more than 100 million tons. At four o'clock, it is one astronomical unit away from us. And... there is a life reaction."
Even in such violent turbulence, the experienced old lookout's voice was still clear and cold, but when it came to "life response", there was inevitably a slight fluctuation.
Immediately afterwards, the outline of a flat head that was thick at the front and thin at the back appeared on the screen. At first glance, it looked like a trilobite.
With such mass parameters, such a projection profile, coupled with the so-called "life reaction", needless to say, it can only be an oversized cosmic Leviathan.
There was a depressing calm at the scene,
The crew members on the Pilgrim are all elites who have experienced hundreds of battles, but most of them have never encountered such a mysterious space giant, let alone talked about how to deal with it.
This is understandable. After all, almost all space Leviathans have become extinct on busy shipping routes. For most people on earth, Edelweiss, the community's mascot, is the only cosmic animal that most people on earth know.
Of course, Miss Anne Romanova immediately sneered: "Oh, it's a small scene."
