In a matter of seconds, Ahir, who was excellent in martial arts, got up and jumped to avoid this fatal blow.
And he stabilized his body in the energy of the explosion, grabbed the bottom of the cabin door with both hands, used both hands to support it, and jumped directly into the cabin. He still maintained the outstanding dexterity and strength of the "Elf Prince" back then.
During this attack and explosion, two Plato warriors were shot down from the disc, blown to the ground, and turned into a pool of blood and mud.
But most people quickly jumped into the hatch and safely entered the defense mission's shuttle battleship "Aurora".
Everyone was gasping for breath. After dodging shelling, jumping from high altitudes, and running and jumping for their lives, everyone's eyes were filled with a sense of joy of surviving the disaster. p>
"Fifty people from our security company came, and now there are only three of us left..." A young soldier from the security company of Somo No. 8 Defense Officer opened his mask and gasped.
Even Ahir was panting. He looked at these 17 people. They were the few survivors among a large group of people from both sides who arrived at the airport after the fierce raid by the Gaians.
"Defense Commander, the most important thing is that you are alive!" Cullen, his retinue chief, said loudly.
"We must return to Plato immediately." Captain Cade of the shuttle battleship also came out of the cockpit. He said to the defender in a thankful tone, "We can pick you up from the Gaian attack.
It's lucky that you are safe and sound, a war has broken out on Somo 8, and the defense forces you to return to the Military Privy Council immediately!"
"Aurora" trembled a few times, and this is Plato's highest level of heavy protection ship, which shows how violent the Gaians' attack was.
After hesitating for a second, Ahil showed a resolute face and his eyes were bright.
"No! I can't just leave now!" the defense commander said firmly: "We have to return to Somo 8 and coordinate with the ground defense."
"Ahir, you are the most senior official in charge of Plato's defense. You can't fight on a frontline on a defense satellite from the beginning. It's too dangerous!" An entourage of the defense envoy immediately objected.
"The defense officer and several senior commanders of 'Soma 8' were all killed at the same time. The defense command of this satellite base has no leader. The battle is so fierce now, how can I just walk away?" Ahir asked.<
/p>
As a result, his stubborn attitude aroused a burst of protests from his subordinates.
"The Defense Envoy is a high-ranking military official second only to the Privy Envoy. Your safety is actually more important than a defense satellite. Moreover, the fleets of other Soma satellites and the patrolling Knights' transformed fighter groups will arrive quickly to provide support!"<
/p>
"The Knights fighter fleet has been cruising around the defense satellite chain, and they will be here soon!"
"The Gaians are just attacking a defensive satellite base. The original intention of establishing the Soma satellite chain is to reduce the probability of attacking Plato's homeland. The value of 'Soma 8' is not as important as the safety of your defense base!"
"The Gaians only have ground troops, but they are trapped on a satellite base. So what if the fight is fierce? Our knights will be there soon! As soon as the air strikes arrive, these Gaian assault troops will be wiped out immediately.
”
"We must return and rejoin the battle. This is my order!"
The defense commander said firmly, and the argument immediately subsided, and the cabin was completely silent.
"A knight cannot turn around and flee in front of his enemy."
Ahil raised his handsome face proudly, and the flames of battle flashed in his blue eyes.
At a distance of 7,900 light-years, everything is shrouded in the mysterious silence of the motion of celestial bodies.
During the peace period, everything in the Ceto Base was operating in an orderly manner. With the extremely high efficiency of the Plato Engineering Corps, a super space base industry that could accommodate 1 million people had begun to take shape.
Plato's first fleet "Hindu Kush", which transported the garrison and various supplies, and an escort fleet of the Suzaku Knights were already halfway to the Keto base.
According to the defense change plan, after they arrive, Captain Krishna and all members of the White Tiger Knights fleet will be able to return to Plato Star.
During the garrison, a cold weapons competition was held between the White Tiger Knight and the Black Tortoise Knight. Since the two regiment leaders personally participated in the battle, the scene was extremely fierce.
Several people on both sides suffered fractures. Fortunately, the medical team was on standby during such a competition and provided immediate medical treatment. The injured were able to recover in three days.
In the end, the White Tiger Knights won by a narrow margin, allowing Captain Krishna to save face. This kind of group cold weapon competition does not set an age threshold, and all official members of the Knights, from retinues to grand leaders, can participate.
(except children), so the two captains of both sides, Krishna and Tralok, went into battle in person.
The cold weapon competition between the knights is the most attractive entertainment project. Many fleet members will go to the competition venue to watch. Sometimes the scene will be heated, with both sides cheering and cheering in full swing. It is jokingly called a gladiatorial performance in the space age.
Apart from this occasional excitement, being stationed on a distant planetary base is boring.
However, Plato's soldiers have lived in a collective life since childhood, and the Knights in particular are known for their strict discipline. Their discomfort reaction to this is much lower than that of Gaia's soldiers.
Time seems to melt into infinity in a place like this. All light and darkness are simulated, so as not to lose the sense of time of the human body clock. Everything starts over and over again. This sense of stagnation in time is suffocating——
Until the space radar suddenly sounded a piercing alarm sound.
"What?! This is!!——"
In the monitoring center of the Keto base, a uniformed Plato radar observer stared dumbly at the scene on the 3D projection area——
A huge Gaia fleet rushed towards the Keto base. Its formation was huge and densely packed with various types of ships like countless stars. If the computer system hadn't automatically recognized it, it would have flashed to show that this was Gaia's number one.
The 5th and 14th Fleets, as well as the 28th Fleet.
No one can believe that the Gaia coalition government dares to take a gamble and dispatch such a huge fleet, which stretches at least 600,000 kilometers in space.
The battle siren sounded in the Keto base, and bursts of nervous harsh sounds echoed everywhere.
"Level 1 combat alert! Get to your positions and get to the combat position as soon as possible!"
The well-trained Plato soldiers acted quickly, but everyone obviously looked confused and nervous.
It is very difficult to accept psychologically that the three-year peace treaty between the two parties has become a piece of waste paper in less than four months, and that you are at the forefront of the attack.
"How dare the Gaians attack us so quickly?!" Captain Krishna, who was walking quickly, roared, and Captain Tlaloc, who was wearing a slanted robe and military uniform, also walked from the opposite corridor.
The two knight commanders arrived at the huge general command room of the base almost at the same time. The one on duty today was Vimona, the commander of the 10th Fleet "Troy". Wearing an ocher fleet uniform, he looked extremely flustered and nervous, with blood leaking from his forehead.
Sweat beads.
The two knight captains were completely stunned when they saw the formation of the Gaia fleet.
They have never faced such a huge fleet. Although Gaia has a huge fleet, it will not attack the Platons with all their might. Both sides enter the war with reservations to avoid a war with huge potential for human civilization in the space age.
It ends with the devastating outcome of total war.
Krishna felt that the blood in his whole body first condensed for a moment, and then boiled like fire. He felt that an extremely cruel bloody battle was coming——
"Our base now only has 120,000 defenders, and the Gaia fleet has invested more than 1.5 million troops. These are all reorganized fleet groups... Fortunately, we have 4,200 knights. Kalki only brought back the undead army from the headquarters and left two of his men with him.
All the deacons have been left to my command." Krishna murmured to himself, "Kalki is so loyal..."
He instantly thought of what Kalki had said after reviewing and studying after the Battle of Messier:[1]
"I actually won by a fluke. If the commander of the Seventh Fleet hadn't been cowardly and issued the wrong retreat order, and the Gaia War Department relied too much on Lien's personal ability, and the foreign aid provided was too limited, what if the Gaians
At least two fleets should be sent to lift the siege of Messier at the same time, and it remains to be seen who will win."
"Even so, if the district fleet sent by the Orbis General Base could insist on attacking us and dare to attack even if the base fell, we would have been unable to fight anymore and the battle would have been extremely long. No one could predict
The result of the Battle of Messier."
"Lean and I, one of us will always die in Messier. If the Gaians can improve their organizational skills and inspire the desire to win on the front line, then it may be me who dies in Messier instead of Lean... The battlefield is
In this way, victory or defeat only depends on one thought."
This is how Kalki commented on the glorious victory that brought him a crown.
Kalki - If Kalki had not returned and was still here, he would feel more at ease and more willing to fight.
Krishna secretly thought in his heart that he had become accustomed to treating Kalki as the leader of the regiment. Kalki was truly Plato’s first general. Regardless of his age, ability, experience and experience, he was the best on the front line.
A good general.
"We are just a regional fleet, the difference in strength is huge." Commander Vimona frowned tightly, with cold sweat on his face.
The three commanders looked at each other nervously. They can be considered young commanders with not old qualifications. The two regiment leaders have not even reached the age of marriage.
"Now we can't even assemble an integrated fleet. Although there are a large number of engineers in the Ceto base, there are no qualified artillery. Fortunately, all the defenses and artillery systems are available, and the fleet can be hidden in the underground dock.
." Hero, the chief of staff of the fleet, remained calm and talked eloquently under the cursor of the opponent's huge combined fleet group.
"In addition to the huge Knights fighter fleet that can severely damage the enemy fleet, we still have a winning rate." Another young staff officer also interjected, "We just have good news, the first fleet 'Hindu Kush'
The fleet carrying 300,000 garrison troops and the Suzaku Knights will arrive at the Keto base in 12 days at the earliest. Therefore, we must defend it for at least 12 days!"
"Has the urgent battle report that the Keto base was attacked by the Gaians spread?" Captain Tlaloc asked quickly.
"Of course, everything is automatic." A female correspondent hurriedly said, "The information that we were attacked by the four fleets of Gaia was sent to the flagships of the two fleets in the form of encrypted super-light speed messages and the latest photon co-frequency resonance.
With Plato's Senate, it may be faster to reach the Senate, but it will take at least 120 hours, and it depends on the situation of the communication point..."
"When will the fastest fleet departing from the mainland arrive at Cetor?" Tlaloc asked again.
"The support fleet will not arrive here until 35 days at the earliest..." The face of the young staff officer wearing the uniform of the Tenth Fleet changed.
After a few seconds of silence at the headquarters, Vimona softly said one word:
"The Fourth Battle of Ceto..."
All the personnel in the headquarters understood in an instant that the "Battle of Ketuo" is synonymous with cruel and bloody battles, and both sides will enter the Shura Field where blood will flow step by step.
"With the elite troops of our knights here, we will definitely keep our trust intact!" Captain Krishna looked brave and confident.
"The Gaia fleet is now 28 billion kilometers away from us, which is 1.08 light days. This is the farthest distance that our space radar station can detect the enemy." Radarman Hui reported.
"We must quickly formulate an interception plan." Commander Vimana said. In Krishna's eyes, he completely lacked Kalki's decisive and strict temperament.
"Captain Tlalock and I each led 1,200 transforming fighters to fight. Large fleets cannot accurately cross tens of billions of kilometers, so in the last distance, they can only come at full speed. Only our transforming
Fighter planes can make the most accurate time and space jumps. This is the value of the Knights!" Krishna quickly proposed his own countermeasures, "We will conduct outpost contact battles against the huge Gaia fleet from both sides and destroy as many warships as possible.
.Subsequently, your fleet system and four Knights deacons formed a fleet to conduct a second wave of attacks. Finally, the Gaia fleet group will enter the bombardment radius of the super artillery group at Keto Base..."
"Then let's do it this way!" Vimana agreed immediately, and he couldn't think of a better idea.
"Then let all the knights take off to fight!" Captain Tralock also agreed, "All knights must go into battle and leave no reserve personnel for the base!"
"Okay! Okay!" The commander also showed confidence in fighting.
Everyone knows that the enemy's situation is urgent, and the newly-built Ketuo base is about to undergo a severe test.
"We lack artillery..." A commander hurriedly walked in, looking very panicked.
"We will take off now! Vimona, I leave this place to you!"
The two regiment leaders said goodbye to the commander quickly and left quickly.
[1] The commanders of both armies need to review the battle after the war and summarize their experiences and gains and losses. Both the Gaia and Plato armies are usually very busy with training, training and various meetings.
