Interstellar leader

In the dark night, there was silence everywhere, except for the guards who stood guard all night, the soldiers of the First Legion stationed on Redstone Star should have fallen into a deep sleep, but now the dome of the station is brightly lit.

Sarah was woken up by the sound of an alarm bell. She rubbed her eyes, and her blurred vision was full of red light, like blood-stained, a little scary.The fact did frighten her. The optical brain and the wristband rang together, and Sarah jumped up from the bed almost instantly. She picked up the wristband on the cabinet, opened the operation interface, and found that it was a message from the supreme commander. Directly under the order, and this order has been issued for a long time.

Major General Hehir in danger?Sarah rubbed her cheeks, went to the bathroom and poured a handful of ice water on her face to clear her mind.Putting on his clothes quickly, he walked out of the room only to find that Second Lieutenant Dylan Lee was standing at the door, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Sarah, hurry up, you're late. I've already taken care of your squad, and I'm waiting for you," Dylan urged, his right heel tapping restlessly on the floor. Make a crisp and rapid sound.

"Sorry, I guess I was too tired from reading the materials the night before."

Sarah kept up with him, involuntarily recalling in her mind when Chief Lancelot first arrived, when she was a staff sergeant, and Dylan was a big innocent-looking boy, and his Little girlfriend Charlotte, as sweet and lovely as a cream cake dotted with cherries.

It's only been two months... She sighed silently in her heart. During the two months, they sent out no less than ten missions, six of which were sneak attacks on the empire's transport fleet, and the other four were real wars.

In fact, not much manpower is invested in starship warfare. Training a soldier who can drive a starship requires a lot of energy and money, no less than training a scientist.They are all precious treasures, and the loss of even one is heartbreaking.

The group of non-commissioned officers two months ago were repeatedly promoted to make up for the lack of officers during the expansion of the army. They were thrown into the battlefield shortly after graduating from the academy, and they had to lead their subordinates effectively and cautiously. Every order and every decision I make affects the lives of nearly a hundred people.

They were like vines, growing unnaturally fast, brutally so, but there was no other way.If these young people don't grow up in a short period of time, they will not only face the pain of war, but complete destruction.

"Dylan, are you engaged to Charlotte?" The atmosphere was too heavy, and Sarah tried to liven it up.

Dylan kept walking and never looked back, but Sarah heard a hint of joy and pride in his voice. "Of course, it was ordered a few days ago-why, she didn't tell you, sir?" The tone of the last salutation rose, full of ridicule.

"Come on, you know how to make fun of me." Sara rolled her eyes. She was one rank higher than Dylan and the others. She was the adjutant of Lieutenant Colonel Creek, the captain of the fleet squadron, but she was from the same military academy as Dylan and the others. Students, with deep feelings, never put on airs, and they always call them by their first names.

"You guys always show your affection in front of me. It's not kind. When you get married, don't forget to invite me to the ceremony."

Dylan responded, then turned the corner and walked into the hall of the High Command.Sara saw a few familiar figures in the center, except for the captains of the three starship squadrons, there was also a tall and slender man like a cypress. He was wearing a black uniform of the High Command of the Republic Defense Forces, with a beautiful pattern embroidered on the cuffs. silver edge.Hearing their approaching footsteps, he turned his head. No matter how many times he had seen that extremely handsome face, it still made people feel short of breath for a moment.

Beside him was a woman Sarah had never seen before, with thick black hair like a crow's feather, fair and clear skin, and delicate facial features. She should have been a gentle beauty, but her body had a mechanically cold temperament. People always ignore her appearance.She didn't wear a military uniform, and she didn't carry an ID card. The most peculiar thing was that one of her eyes was amber, and the other was silver-gray.

"Colonel Lancelot." Although she was very curious about the identity of this woman, Sarah still looked away and saluted Li Qing standing at attention, feeling a little excited.Of course it's not because of nympho, but because the officer's pronoun is victory.

There was no trace of emotion in Li Qing's dark pupils, and his cold eyes swept across Sarah and Dylan. "Lieutenant Delin, you're late. Gather your team immediately and communicate with them about the combat plan—I don't need to teach you these things. We'll leave in half an hour."

half an hour?Sarah was a little surprised, and even the squadron leaders around were a little confused, half an hour is too hasty, right?It's not like the commander's rigorous and serious style, but they didn't say anything.

In fact, Li Qing didn't even want to give them 10 minutes, because he didn't plan to use this plan in the first place.He wanted to see if it was his plan that changed quickly, or the spy who sent information to the empire was the fastest.

Since he was always in a state of combat readiness, it didn't take long from the assembly of personnel to the final inspection of the starship. During this period, Li Qing glanced at Sarah's team, and accidentally saw members of the Lancelot family. The cousin Lilith who gave him a very bad impression.

A few years have passed, and he has almost forgotten about the pair of siblings. Now at first glance, she is still so arrogant and domineering, like a young girl in middle school who speaks recklessly and has no friends around her.

Li Qing just glanced at it and walked over.Behind him, Lilith frowned, and a very faint sense of familiarity flashed across her heart, but before she understood how this feeling came about, it disappeared in an instant like the touch of a dragonfly on water.

Of course Lilith knew the name of this officer, and she was once surprised by the coincidence of the name.However, it is impossible for her to suspect that the officer in front of her is the former Isaac. This kind of thinking is too crazy, Lilith will not have it, and neither will anyone who does not know.

Lilith raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a pure and innocent smile.She had already left behind those unpleasant disputes in the family, and she just had to do her own thing well...just do what her mother said.

On the way to the transition point near Redstone, Li Qing contacted Lynn on the optical brain in the central control room of the "Rockefeller".

This is a mothership numbered cvm9604, accompanied by cvg9605, a galaxy-class mothership codenamed "Comet".

The commander usually uses the largest mothership as his flagship, so that he can form a formation with other starships and protect the flagship in the center of the sphere.However, Li Qing chose a smaller Galaxy-class mothership, and the battle group surrounding it drifted outside the spherical shell formed by the main battle group, which seemed very strange.

The "Rockefeller" is a rather special mother ship. Although it is small in size and has a small ship load, it has the most complete and stable information system among all mother ships.Under Li Qing's control, the computing power of its main optical brain is comparable to that of regular supercomputers fixed on the planet.

Li Qing's optical brain displayed a partial star map, and the three-dimensional projection technology presented it in detail on the desktop. He stretched out his hand, his slender fingers passed through the blue light, and stopped at a red point .

"I found a temporary jump point near the other end of the w3 jump point before, and it seems that it hasn't disappeared yet, and the stability is not bad."

Li Qing moved his fingers slightly, and the picture turned half a circle.Due to the opening of the Internet mode, the star map projection on Lynn's side was delayed for a second, and it also rotated for half a week.Lynn stared at the dot, frowning. "Are you sure it can withstand the mass of the entire fleet for space transition?"

"Do you want to watch the calculation process?" Li Qing smiled.

Lynn immediately declined. "No. I just want to know, where does it lead to?"

"w1." Li Qing made a stretching gesture, and the projection was also enlarged locally. The exit of the transition point of w1 was very far from their original plan of w3, and it was close to the outermost celestial debris belt of the White Butterfly star system. The actual location Between White Butterfly and its neighboring galaxy, Pyle—the battlefield where Heythel was trapped.

Lynn's voice rose instantly. "You're not going to—"

"Yes." Li Qing interrupted him, "I just plan to jump directly into the encirclement."

Lin En, who had always been serious and calm, could no longer hold back the expression on his face. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and his fingers clasped the smooth and hard corner of the table, and his knuckles were faintly white. "Lancelot, you are responsible for the life and property of the entire fleet!"

"Lin En, listen to me carefully." Li Qing sat back in the armchair, resting his elbows on the armrests on both sides, with a relaxed expression on his face, and even smiled at Lynn in the video. "When preparing for the base, Gaia found a signal with a strange path. It was very weak and fleeting. However, after analyzing its destination, there is an 85.4% possibility of its destination—the Empire."

"Gaia?" Lynn seemed a little confused, as if he had heard the name somewhere before, and then forgot about it.

"It's me." Gaia, who was monitoring the situation of the fleet, looked up. Somehow, Lynn managed to see a hint of sarcasm in her strangely colored inorganic eyes. "The signal is too weak, and it looks like it was covered up in a very professional way, but that happened to prove that it is suspicious. The spy is very likely in our fleet."

"So, if that spy has leaked our battle plan to the empire, they will allocate a large part of their troops to wait at point w3. As for the size of the fleet, it depends on how much they want to keep me here forever. place."

Li Qing's expression was very indifferent, as if he was talking about the weather today, not about his own death.

"Taking advantage of their scattered forces, my fleet jumps into the encirclement and breaks through with Hehir and the others. You can jump to p2 instead of p1 as we discussed before, and pick us up from the outside."

Suppressing the horror in his heart, Lynn said in a calm tone: "Lancelot, I always think that you are more like a scientist than a soldier. You are cautious and never take risks. Tell me, if your guess is wrong , all the power of the empire is still concentrated on that encirclement, what do you do?"

Li Qing showed a hint of a smile, which quickly disappeared from his face. "Scientists pay attention to probability. According to the calculation results, we have less than [-]% chance of winning according to the original plan. Now there is an [-]% chance in front of us. Why not do it?"

"But at least we have a way out—"

"Retreat?" Li Qing stared at Lin En, the model in front of him was reflected in his black pupils, and the blue lines flowed in his eyes, as if his eyes were hiding a whole star field.He clicked on the distribution of troops in the empire, and drew a circle around Hehir with a silver-white laser pointer.

Lin En understood what he meant, no matter what the situation, the imperial army would not let them go, maybe this encirclement was for a bigger hunt.

"We have no way out."
