Chapter 219 The time for the general attack is coming
"The Platons have escaped!" said the radar officer on the flagship "Artemis".
"I didn't expect that we really had all the time. The real garrison of Ceto has not arrived yet. These garrison are just bodyguards escorting the construction fleet." Commander-in-chief General Balotelli breathed a sigh of relief.
"Balotelli, don't be too happy too early. We have not completed the task of occupying Ceto, and because of your underestimation of the enemy's rash advance, we suffered heavy losses." Freeman, the surviving commander-in-chief of the Fifth Fleet, appeared on the line.
, the dark-skinned general was obviously injured due to his hasty and nervous escape, and he looked very angry.
"It's useless to complain to each other now! Let's go to the nearest Gaia base immediately for repairs." The commander-in-chief tried hard to maintain his general demeanor.
Only the staff group was talking heavily, and Chief of Staff Zhan Linnan looked at the surviving fleet consultation with a gloomy face.
"Less than 30% of the ships survived, and a large number of ships were severely damaged. Engineering teams must be organized for emergency repairs..." He said, "The 9,000 light-year journey home is too severe for us."
The remaining Gaia fleet slowly sailed into the distance in the dark universe. Almost all the starship shells were full of dents and damage, and the precious ion thrusters were also damaged by the splash of rot from hundreds of millions of larvae. Although the battleship's ion
The thrusters are extremely well protected and extremely strong, but they are obviously not designed to deal with the extremely special composition of the interstellar monster rot.
This severely damaged fleet embarked on its return journey at a slow speed. In the end, the human race fought for an interstellar ruin that was blown into an asteroid floating belt. Both sides paid a heavy price, and 2 million people lost their lives. The final battle for
It is infinite emptiness.
The Fourth Battle of Ceto ended with the sudden appearance of the "interstellar scavenger" Scavenger Aphids, with a dramatic star-wide explosion.
Just like that, the remnants of both sides escaped into the vast sea of stars.
"Gaia...Mangxing City..."
Kalki, who was wearing a tight-fitting combat uniform, looked at the virtual signal displayed on the central display platform of the "Auspicious Goddess". In fact, the detector was unable to enter the closest orbit of Gaia. The entire Gaia star's protective radar circle was extremely sensitive. This was also
The reason why the Gaians do not need a complex satellite defense system is that an abnormal invasion by a starship can be detected by a full-coverage radar 1 light-year away. Any invasion by an alien invasion fleet will immediately be blocked by the defenders.
The army launched a massive attack in a manner of waiting for work.
His sky-blue eyes stared straight at the planned attack points on Manxing City, and he fell into deep thought.
Those days and nights with Xuanji suddenly came to mind again. He looked up at the magical city that shined day and night from the balcony of her apartment... Those interesting people in Mangxing City, everything he saw
All come to mind.
Before that, his enemies were abstract. They were just locusts that plundered the energy of the universe. But the moment his feet touched the ground, he finally understood the insignificance and helplessness of a person. Everything was so strange and frightening to him.
, he just wants to return to Plato, that magnificent and noble "father's state" as soon as possible, and get rid of this mediocre land that makes him a mortal.
But now, he recalled himself who didn't know the suffering at that time, and the black-haired girl standing in front of him, her eyes shining like stars. She was always so full of life, attracting all his attention...
…
He would never forget the intense and bright entanglement and fusion of red, orange, blue, and purple in the changing light of Mangxing City. Under the setting sun, they sat on the floor of her small apartment, surrounded by her ancient paintings.
CD collection, the air is vibrating with the aria of Wagner's opera "Tristan and Isolde", and outside the balcony is this dreamy city like a forest of high-rise buildings...
"Kalki, the moment of the general attack is coming soon!" His subordinate Luo Hu raised his voice to remind him. At such a tense moment, Kalki was stunned in front of everyone.
"We have been planning with April for a long time during the voyage. We have no objections anymore. Let's execute it like this!" The leader lowered his long brown eyelashes and smoothed himself over in an unclear manner.
"Kalki! In the current fierce battle, you cannot be affected by emotions, put aside any personal distractions, and must devote yourself to the battle wholeheartedly!" Shankara, the chief of staff on the side, straightened up and looked at him seriously, "You are 'Var'
Supreme Commander of Operation Hala, our fleet has entrusted the lives of all our members to you."
There was silence in the command room, everyone looked at the commander.
The way he looks now is very different from the radiant self-confidence that Kalki used to show when he was about to launch an attack. In the past few hours, he has looked very dull.
Kalki knew very well that his close friends knew about his abusive relationship. In Plato's collective life, no one could keep it a secret.
"Let's get started! I hope everything goes well for Eden...I will also try my best."
Captain Kalki tried to regain the passionate passion when giving orders in the past, but although his tone was tough and unusually rational, he did not have the enthusiasm and excitement he once had.
"Hold a pre-war mass! We have to pray for victory!" He turned to the newly appointed younger blond priest Alain and ordered.
The virtual architecture and light and shadow of the sky in the large prayer room of the "Auspicious Goddess" are more magnificent and realistic than those of the old "Varuna". Everyone seems to have fallen into a dream, floating in the boundless space and time of the universe, surrounded by various people.
A variety of colorful nebulae and meteors streak across.
Kalki, who was kneeling on one knee in combat uniform, lowered his head and prayed silently in his heart. He prayed that he could regain his previous peace of mind and that he could regain his passion for victory, which was like a countercurrent of blood throughout his body.
Otherwise, he would not be able to attack a cosmic city that carries memories of his first love.
The most important thing is that Xuanji is there, maybe.
"The wheel of light will be with you forever." The priest said the concluding words of the prayer.
"Ami."
Everyone stood up, Kalki was slow for a moment, and finally stood up with everyone.
Chief of Staff Shankara saw this and could not help but raise his eyebrows.
The blood-red "nectar" was drank by all the soldiers present. This pre-war "Amilido" is actually a battlefield stimulant with no side effects, which can make people's muscles and minds more excited and warlike.
.
"Kalki! Listen to me and forget that woman completely! You are Gaia's enemy, that woman is just the poison they released in your heart, forget her!" During the moment of hugging each other to express brotherhood, Shangjie
Luo whispered in his ear.
Kalki struggled instinctively and pushed away his friend's embrace. He is the kind of person who is always loyal to his own feelings and rarely pretends.
"Don't speak to me in a commanding tone, I am your superior." He said gloomily, with his special sense of oppression.
