Chapter 1722 The Floating Victory

Marshal Farrell is indeed an outstanding military strategist with both imagination and execution, and his vision is destined to look to the future and the stars.

Of course he didn't know that just "behind" him on the New World Highway, in a branch system, a small-scale battle was also going on.

Continuous beams of light passed through the void and sank into the belly of the Angmans transport ship. The explosion came out of the fat belly of the ship, tearing apart the armor, and the fire and shock waves began to spread. Obviously, they could not hear it.

No matter what sound I heard, it was still like the call of the devil.

The ship was almost ready. Colonel Horatio Venn made a judgment and immediately ordered: "The entire fleet stops shooting."

"Start to slow down, reorganize, and prepare to evacuate."

"The landing force begins searching and collecting valuable targets. You only have thirty minutes."

"Navigator, determine the direction of the channel."

"Observation team, determine if there are still survivors."

"Damage control team, I want a damage report in fifteen minutes."

His deputy, Lieutenant Colonel Michiel Kent, passed on this series of orderly orders, while also making more perfect additions.

A group of capable crew members were busy at their respective posts. The scene was still busy, but it seemed orderly. Soon, the Earth warships that were participating in the hunt stopped shelling.

The gorgeous ion beam dissipated, but the continuous explosions inside the fat Angmans transport ship never stopped. The huge hull was torn apart by shock waves from the inside and outside, and was completely broken into two pieces. Thousands of pieces were broken into pieces.

The lives of a crew member were taken away in an instant, and millions of tons of materials were immediately turned into part of the garbage of the universe.

However, considering that the hull was completely destroyed, there must be survivors and supplies left behind.

As for her two destroyer escorts, they were sunk on the spot in an unethical sneak attack as early as half an hour ago.

Therefore, the hunter who caused this tragedy, a small fleet composed of a Xiaguang-class heavy cruiser Victory, a light cruiser, and two destroyers, had happily eliminated the landing troops and robots, and began to proceed in an orderly manner.

battlefield cleanup work.

Their movements were so skillful that they looked more like well-trained pirates than well-trained soldiers.

Of course, this performance is actually very reasonable.

After all, these crew members are all members of the Yang fleet. They have been playing hide-and-seek with the Imperial fleet for a year in the vast sea of ​​​​stars extending in all directions in the Dawn Star Territory. Leaving aside the other skills, the hit-and-run stealth and guerrilla skills are naturally very powerful.

That’s right. This is no longer subject to the commander’s will.

In addition, Horatio Wayne, who was supposed to be a brave general who never retreated, didn't think there was anything wrong with him. He seemed to be in the shape of a "guerrilla war" from the inside out.

If someone who knew his other side appeared here, they would definitely be very emotional.

In short, in another timeline, Captain Horatio Venn, who particularly liked the frontal view, was complacently calculating his victory on the bridge of his loyal Victory.

If the results of this hunt are included, the enemy ships he sank along the way have exceeded the total tonnage of his own fleet. If he was leading a harassment fleet with the purpose of breaking diplomatic relations, the results would be brilliant.

Even if it is blocked and completely destroyed by the enemy now, it can be regarded as a complete meritorious deed.

However, considering that his mission was to conduct reconnaissance behind enemy lines and lure enemies, his sense of accomplishment was somewhat compromised.

"I don't know where Chief Yang is, but he has received my message." Wayne thought.

This is the case in the New World. Without the instant effect of seismic waves, gravitational wave communications also need to be relayed by beacon towers to maintain smooth and uniform delivery. But once war comes, gravitational wave beacon towers are always targets of the enemy.

.These small space facilities are indeed small targets. Throwing them into the stars is like throwing sand into the sea.

However, it cannot be covered by the fact that the "sand" will relay the signal, and the sense of existence will be completely different.

The only good thing is that Fleet Yang has a small-sized elemental wave terminal in his hands, which may be the only elemental wave terminal in the New World. Therefore, although his own side is at an absolute military disadvantage, it still has information and communications.

Advantages.

"He will get it, it's just a matter of time," Michiel Kent told him.

This person played a key role in the construction of Wertheim's base, but now he has boarded Venn's Victory. What stands out is a brick in the New World Theater, which is moved wherever it is important.

Four months ago, when Horatio Vane led the fleet to set off from the "Tower of Babel", he never expected that he would stumble out of the Dawn Nebula and wander all the way to the New World Highway.

In the previous battle to encircle and suppress the Medigue fleet, he still successfully acted as a decoy. Although the battle was not complete in the end, the entire fleet also successfully gained confidence, and everyone's morale is now very high.

Afterwards, after consulting Yang Xiyi, Wayne took a rest at the secret base on the planet Watheim. He obtained a batch of supplies from his old comrade and classmate Michiel Kent.

Of course, it's just some energy packs and ammunition that were hand-kneaded from the workshop, and a small amount of compressed food made from underground moss, mushrooms and earthworms. It's not very formal, but it's still better than nothing.

In short, under the command of Major General Orwell and Lieutenant Colonel Kent, the construction of Watheim's secret base has begun to bear fruit. Even among the refugees who followed Yang's fleet around, some newborns were actually born.

Such lively good news naturally made him lively, and he said to Kent: "Now that we are on the right track here, then come with me to set off on a new journey. I am short of a staff officer on the Victory."

long."

He paused and then said: "That guy Yu Lian always said that you are actually more suitable to be prime minister than a general, but I just don't believe it. We people in the Lion Heart Society should always go into the fire.

Another ball of fire."

"I'm not a war maniac like you, Horatio. In addition, Yu Lian never said that I am suitable to be prime minister. How can such a thing be approved?" Kent said helplessly: "He just said that construction is more difficult than destruction.

, and it also tests the quality of things. In the era of strife, I will definitely not be as good as you. But in the era of construction, my patience may have more room to display."

"He must not have used such polite lines, but what he said does make sense." Wayne said angrily: "I finally figured it out. There are even farms and factories in the underground caves of the planet Wertheim.

If Yu Lian comes here, I will give you a Sapphire Pioneer Medal."

Kent said modestly: "Actually, it's not that exaggerated. Wertheim is still a farmland farmed by livestock, but robots are used to represent cows, and the factory is just a handicraft industry... Wait, is he qualified to issue a medal?"

"If this battle is over, maybe there will be one."

"..."

"I was mocking him, can't you tell?"

"...I also hope you are joking. But since you can make such a joke as if nothing happened, Horatio, you must have accepted your fate, right?"

Before the red-haired warrior brother reacted and became furious, Kent laughed again: "So, as you can see, although the base area is on the right track, it still needs the next step of construction planning. We need to explore more in the planet

caves and build more settlements.”

"Yes, yes, if you continue like this, you will become a qualified caveman chief."

Although he said that, Mihir Kent did not really refuse the other party after all. It was always difficult for him to refuse all the requests of this stubborn red-haired man, and this had been the case since kindergarten.

Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Kent, who had finally cultivated the fields for half a year and lived a stable life for half a year, left the next round of management of the base area to Major General Orwell, and boarded the Victory with great interest.

After all, it was a rare new ship that Yang's fleet had added after a year, and he was actually quite interested in this kind of copycat Clear Sky-class cruiser.

The strong and replenished Wien fleet is ready to take the next step - in fact, Wien's official position until now is only the captain of the Victory. However, there are only four or five ships of this kind, big cats and kittens.

And for small fleets without large capital ships, the captain with the highest military rank often serves as the "temporary admiral".

Rounding it off, it seems reasonable to call it Venn Fleet.

They were going to investigate the Ring of Miracles or Yao Chi. The most important thing was to ensure the location and status of the Vulcan Ai Ran. This was a task personally assigned by Yang Xiyi.

However, the situation is just like what Horatio Venn said, the members of the Lionheart Club do always have to go from one fire to another.

When Venn's small fleet arrived at a branch system with unimportant traffic and few livable planets, and still three jumps away from the Ring of Miracles, it was discovered by a passing imperial fleet.

The team was led by Yang Fleet's old friend Lieutenant General Valerys, a noble general who came from the Valerys Duke family, and a typical Tirello military aristocrat who had received rigorous military training since childhood.

The typical portrait of this kind of person is a steel sculpture composed of seriousness, resoluteness, coldness, and stubbornness. They often have courage that has been tempered over time, and a single-minded and firm execution ability.

During the year-long hide-and-seek battle, Lieutenant General Valerys was tricked by Yang Xiyi several times, and many troops were lost. Even his old flagship, which had been with him for more than ten years, was seriously injured and was returning home for overhaul.

.For an old-school commander, it is as humiliating as a tauren, right?

He has now completely fallen into the ptsd state of the earth. As soon as he finds any trace of the enemy, he will definitely fall into a manic state.

Facing the small fleet of the Earthlings, the three battle cruisers and two aircraft carriers under the command of Lieutenant General Valerys, together with more than ten cruisers of various types, all pretended to pursue them to the end of the universe.

He even sent out a wide-area broadcast of gravitational waves to the surrounding area, asking the nearby imperial fleet to join the hunt.

Fortunately, this is not the mainland of the Milky Way after all. No matter how powerful the gravitational wave communication is, there is still a delay. Although the nearby imperial fleet has received the news and swarmed in, there will be a time lag in the action, and there will always be some room for a breakthrough.

.

Before the huge fishing net was completely tightened, Horatio Wayne, a slippery fish, had already calculated the largest hole in the net and got out directly.

However, compared to Yang Xiyi, who seems to have an omniscient eye, Wayne is still slightly behind in terms of judgment and foresight in combat maneuvers.

In the DL275 galaxy, he still encountered a certain Angmans squadron. At this time, Wien immediately showed his true qualities as a fierce general. He directly ordered the entire fleet to move at full speed towards the enemy who had not yet reacted.

The enemy fleet pounced.

In the shortest possible time, the Earth Fleet entered a ferocious charge, firing thousands of cannons before both sides entered effective firing range.

The Angmans' flagship, a monkey version of the Imperial Valiant-class cruiser, was seriously injured on the spot, and the other warships were immediately stunned and routed.

In this way, Horatio Vane led the battleships to complete a frontal breakthrough, left the system in a swagger, and began to consider whether to move to the Tower of Babel or Watheim.

However, just when he was about to get carried away, Michiel Kent reminded him that since the imperial fleet was swarming in, several traffic lines had to be reached and a considerable size of enemy fleet had gathered. The editor of a mere four battleships on his own side

With a small team, you can make a surprise attack and defeat an enemy of the same size, but once the opponent has four or five times your own strength and is prepared, it will never be possible to take any advantage.

"So, the way back has been cut off?" Wayne said unwillingly.

"There's no doubt, it's cut off." Kent was very sure.

At this time, he showed a calmer and calmer state of mind than Horatio Wayne: "Move in the direction of Eurodia. As for whether to go to Dawn Pass or go to the Queen of Cloth Galaxy to the Eye of the Devil
