Ila is a steady and cautious commander, so he will never take the risk of taking a dangerous shortcut like him. Naturally, it is easier to predict the route and be intercepted by the Gaia fleet. Kalki has also attacked his relatively slow march in the past.
After complaining loudly, it was Captain Ila who tolerated the rebuke of Grand Captain Kalki, but now their positions have been exchanged.
"Grand Commander... We have already gone through 4 battles. We are reluctant to fight Messier again. The Gaia rescue fleet has strengthened its attack force." Kalki frowned and forced himself to adopt a method in front of Ila.
A humble and cautious subordinate tone.
"Karki, Messier is your blessed place. As long as the siege of the Gaia fleet is lifted, you can return and win another crown of corn seedlings. From now on, the world's famous generals and stars can only look up to your glory." Ila's lines are clear and cold.
A sneer inadvertently appeared on his handsome face, "The march to Messier is an order from the Senate, because you are the most heroic and capable general among us. Only you can turn the tide. Have you lost the courage like the lion you used to be?"
Aren’t you never intimidated by hardships and dangers?”
Kalki was silent for a moment and said: "After our four battles, the entire fleet has 2,500 seriously injured people who can no longer fight with the army, and there are piles of corpses of fallen martyrs pressed in the bottom tank... These must be recovered in the first battle.
Cleared before the Second Battle of Messier."
"I will contact the nearest field medical base 'Ashwain', and a medical fleet will dock with your fleet. Captain Kalki, do you have any questions about supplies and weapons?"
"All ships in our fleet have suffered varying degrees of damage. Even my flagship, the Lucky Goddess, was severely damaged in the confrontation and bombardment with the flagship of the Seventh Fleet. The mobile defense shield system is still under repair." Kalki's blue eyes were filled with tears.
It shines brightly with anger.
"Isn't dealing with emergencies what you are best at? These problems have not slowed down your fleet's speed, which shows that your fleet's combat effectiveness is still strong, and you are capable of fighting another big battle."
Kalki's face looked like a cold sculpture in the flickering quantum light.
"Ila! I didn't expect you to hate me so much... I always thought that we are friends who treat each other with sincerity and can trust each other's lives!"
"No, Kalki, no one will hate you. There are too many people who love you, and that's the problem." The double-chinned Ila's expression became serious, "The order was issued by the Senate. As the grand leader, I
No choice... The medical fleet can also carry back the message box. As long as you persist for 36 hours, I will be able to lead the main force of the Knights fleet to support. Goodbye, Kalki. May the goddess of victory favor you, just like she has always favored the blonde.
Like a knight."
The energy-consuming communication ended, and the figure of the grand leader disappeared instantly.
"Contact April and head towards Messier at full speed. All members will record the message box within 5 minutes."
Kalki gave the order crisply.
Everyone in the headquarters of the "Auspicious Goddess" became solemn and quiet, not daring to show off their atmosphere.
Before the war, everyone was ordered to record a message box, which meant that the space crew could write a pre-war suicide note.
"It's nothing..." In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Chief of Staff Shankara pretended to be relaxed and said, "This is not the first time. Six years ago during the Battle of Fomalhaut Corridor, we were attacked.
Kalki also gave such an order during the siege by the elite joint fleet. Aren’t we all still alive and well?”
"But we lost that battle, Shankara. Not everyone was as lucky as us. The casualty rate in that battle was more than half, and Kalki was also seriously injured..." Longfield, the oldest navigator, suddenly said
.
After the commander gave the order, a small message box was transmitted to the combat positions of all married personnel. Many married people were busy recording videos, while the young people looked indifferent. Writing a suicide note was considered
Troubles for married people.
Shankara looked at Kalki's indifference, then pointed to a thin message sheet suspended on the side of the commander's seat and said:
"Captain, aren't you going to say something to Madam Yerou? You have never read the message she gave you."
"No, I have nothing to say to her."
Kalki's direct refusal made Shankara sigh. Kalki has always been unwilling to accept the systematic marriage, which is a pity for such a perfect bride as Yerou.
Twelve hours later, the fleet rendezvoused with the fleet at the "Ashwain" medical base at the predetermined location. A silver-white medical ship slowly connected to the interface on one side of the "Auspicious Goddess".
The solid gate of the connection port made a slight motor sound, and the doors were quickly opened. Staff in physical therapy uniforms and a large group of medical robots of various sizes and paintings rushed over from the other side.
Kalki stood by the door, watching as the seriously wounded on the flagship lay on the floating medical bed and were automatically sent to the medical ship to leave.
As soon as Luohu, who was lying on the medical bed, saw Kalki, he immediately operated the button to open the slide and struggled to sit up.
"No! Rahu, don't move! All your bones are broken. You need to lie still for 2 weeks. You will be able to get out of bed and exercise in a few days... I am here to say goodbye to you." Kalki immediately possessed him.
Put your arms around him, comfort your friend, and let him lie down quietly.
"Now...are we going to separate?" Luo Hu looked at the leader with blue eyes.
"We are going to the new Messier base to fight a fierce battle. The seriously injured can no longer accompany the army."
"Forgive me, I can no longer follow my master. I said I will always follow you until you conquer the entire universe..." Luo Hu's voice choked with sobs.
Kalki was moved in his heart. Even he himself had forgotten the great pride of the grand leader back then, but Luo Hu always remembered it.
"I left you during the Battle of Aposa and flew directly back to the flagship. I violated my duties as a retinue because Swelin's body scan was very dangerous at that time..."
"You don't need to explain it to me. You always act based on intuition and emotion. This is your advantage. The value of Swearin's life is the same as mine."
The staff of "Aswoin" immediately surrounded them, and evacuating the seriously injured was a matter of time and seconds. It was extremely efficient in the Plato fleet.
Kalki glanced around slightly, knowing that the moment of separation had come.
"Goodbye, Luo Hu!" He stretched out his right hand and gave his friend a firm shake at the end, "When you recover and return to the team, we will have an arm wrestling match to celebrate. Next time I will make you convinced of your defeat."
Luo Hu looked up at Kalki. He always had the confidence and enthusiasm of a sunny boy, and a kind of frank innocence. Everyone was moved by his affection and righteousness towards his friends.
"Goodbye, Kalki! Messier is not the end, it is too small and not suitable for you..."
