Interstellar leader

Marshal Jonathan stood on the console of his flagship "Casey I", bent slightly, staring at the screen in front of him very intently.His dark brown hair stood up obediently like a lion's mane. His burly body was wrapped in the dark blue military uniform of the Imperial Starship Troops. There were delicate lace embroidered with gold and red silk thread on the cuffs. The temperament reveals a kind of concentration and majesty.

"Did you send me a message just now?" Jonathan asked an intelligence officer standing beside him, trembling under the pressure of the marshal.

"Yes, yes." The technician replied: "After analysis, it is determined that it is him, and we have not been anti-tracked."

"Very good." Jonathan finally suppressed the vague doubts in his heart, nodded, and pointed to the two red dots on the projection model in front of him, which were obviously Li Qing's original transition plan - w3 and p1.

"Divide one-third... No, divide half of the main force to w3 and wait for the rabbit. Be sure to keep Lancelot, the second commander of the First Army of the Republic, in outer space forever."

Jonathan frowned his two thick eyebrows, although he didn't know much about the young officer, and even because the empire had no time to collect information due to the short time of appearance, his origin and name were all blank - but Jonathan instinctively thought that this man Very dangerous.

This is a beast-like intuition, the induction of a predator to another predator, and the sense of crisis that this person gave him has surpassed the scope of a commanding talent. For the first time, he came up with a crazy idea: a person, Maybe it can really decide the outcome of a war.

The last person who made him feel this way was the Duke of Basdar, a powerful minister trusted by the young emperor. He was like a bright shooting star across the night sky. Although the dazzling light was short-lived, it made people have to pay attention.

His dem He killed the duke with the fighter jets of the Heavenly Army, and later claimed that he had been burned to ashes by them.

Logically, there is nothing wrong with it, but Jonathan thinks it's too... deliberate.

In the early days of the Empire and the Republic War, the Republican Army seemed to have a pair of eyes of wisdom to see everything. In some cases, they could predict their next move in an unpredictable way. Hit the weakest part of the hull.

Once or twice can also be explained as a coincidence, but if it has been like this, it can only be that there are spies or spies inside.For this reason, the Imperial Intelligence Bureau took immediate and effective actions and arrested many suspects, but failed to find out why.

Until one day, his two-year-old grandson asked him a very innocent question: "Grandpa, why can't dead people speak?"

Jonathan was immersed in a lot of military duties, and replied impatiently: "Of course a dead person cannot speak unless he comes back to life."

"Then why can't the dead come back to life?" The little boy blinked his big watery eyes and asked.

Jonathan raised his head from the table and froze for a moment.If...if the Duke of Basdar hadn't died at all, everything could be explained.Those weapons were designed by him, the "Stratus" battlefield calculation system was developed by him, and even the former control of the Empire's intelligence bureau was in his hands...

He couldn't help but shudder at the thought.

And now he had even wilder conjectures, a vague idea that he couldn't bring up to others because there was no evidence: the young commander surnamed Lancelot was the Duke of Bastal.

When the fleet was about to reach w3, Li Qing ordered Gaia to go to the passage.

"What's the matter?" Bai Yu saw the screen of the central main optical brain in his optical brain cluster start to flicker, and was surprised to see that the message was from Li Qing.Shouldn't he be at the front?What are you contacting yourself for now?

"It's like this, Bai Yu." Li Qing said to Bai Yu while flying his ten fingers on the optical projection keyboard on the desktop: "Now I want to control the entire fleet to enter the center of the battlefield from a temporary transition point, but at the same time I want to monitor whether there are The spy's signal is sent out. My optical brain cluster has insufficient computing power, so I will send the data to you, and you can send it back to me after calculation, is that okay?"

"Of course, leave it to me." Bai Yu paused, and then instructed: "Be careful."

"Will do."

After connecting with Bai Yu's optical brain, Li Qing called out the calculation software for the transition point. Following the simulation calculation of the nodes, another projection model glowing with beautiful blue light was generated around him. When he gestured closer, he could see the function at the coordinates The concrete curves in the system are entangled and spiraled one by one, forming a spiral channel, the blue is faint and bottomless.

At its entrance, the mass point representing the fleet is approaching, but the trajectory of their driving extends to the solidified transition point w3 next to it.

Time is up.

"Gaia, let's start." Li Qing turned his head and said to the artificial intelligence beside him, and the latter began to use the optical brain to invade knowingly. She is naturally very handy for this kind of work as a machine.The highest authority of the fleet was originally with them, but within 1 minute, the operation authority of all starships was handed over to Li Qing.

Since he had explained to the captains of each starship that such a situation might occur, the operators on the ship panicked a little, but were calmed down immediately, but they didn't know what their commander was going to do.

Li Qing continued his calculations. Since it was a temporary transition point, there were slight changes at any time, and the total mass of his own fleet was not small, so every time a starship passed by, the disturbance of the transition point by the mass of the previous one had to be considered question.Otherwise, there may be a dangerous situation where after the jump, the fleet will be divided into several parts that are far apart.

He looked intently at the screen of the optical brain, and the characters glowing blue were reflected in the black pupils, like a string of fireflies flying by.The ten fingers kept tapping the table, and there was no sound, but there was a special sense of rhythm in the silence.He reported the parameters to Gaia one by one, and she set them according to his calculations.The entire fleet was like a dummy led by a skilled puppeteer, and like a program that had been set in advance, they sailed silently and in unison to that transition point, and disappeared one by one into the vast sea of ​​stars.

"An abnormal signal was detected, but..."

After the jump was completed, Bai Yu's delay message was sent, his tone was a bit hesitant, and he seemed very embarrassed.

"But what?" Just as Li Qing finished asking, several dots were faintly displayed on the detector, approaching them.But after amplifying the signal and using software to calculate and remove impurities, it can be found that the two fleets are fighting fiercely in a place less than half a light-year away.

"The connection with Major General Hehir's combat system is complete, the command system is synchronized, and the communication system is synchronized." Gaia's unwavering voice came from the side, as cold as the dark space outside the porthole.

Bai Yu's side was delayed for a second, and then his text message came: "The end point of the tracking is the address of Major General Lancelot. When I was doing this, Dean Carter was beside him, and he has already reported to the military."

"So the old man has been arrested, right?" Li Qing asked, while quickly returning the operating authority to the captains of each ship.The fleet in the distance is gradually approaching. It is a battle group composed of two motherships, presenting a horizontal pyramid formation in the space, rushing towards them.

"Yes." Bai Yu replied.

"Sure enough, they sent the main force to w3. Even so, there are quite a lot of troops here." Li Qing frowned, and hung up the call with Bai Yu directly.In any case, the old man will not die if he is locked up. If he is distracted, he might really die here.

"Heythel, how many are there?"

"They have twelve standard battle groups, four of them are entangled with me here, six were sent to w3 half an hour ago, and two are in front of you." There was a trace of excitement in Heyciel's voice, But it's more of a worry. "I don't have much left now. If you don't come, I will be disabled by them. Now I am blocked by them on the way to the w1 jump point, and I can't move forward. Even if I get to the jump point, their jammers can make it We can't calculate, it seems that we are determined to trap me here."

"Half an hour?" Li Qing's hand froze, hovering in mid-air, as if time had frozen.The huge fleet has just left, which means they only have half an hour. If they can't break through the encirclement and make a successful transition from a transition point within the range of the Republic's defense line, the imperial fleet that has received the order to return will be killed. will tear them to shreds.

He lowered his head and glanced at the communication code. Heythel's flagship was the Starlight.

Looking up at the fleets on both sides, they are already within the attack range.

"Change the formation, spread out the plan, one group turns to descend height, and three groups arc ascend height."

The formation was like a cracked canyon opening a big mouth, and almost at the same time, a laser beam brighter than a star passed through the gap, rubbing against the shields of a group of motherships and cutting open the vast space.

"Corona."

Li Qing looked at the data collected by the rows of sensors on the screen, which was so familiar that it was a bit dazzling. When the first set of parameters appeared in front of him, he knew that he didn't need to read it again.Except for the mothership, this imperial fleet is equipped with "Corona" series weapons.

This means that he has a choice, a choice that must not be made unless it is a last resort.

-

"I was actually swayed by that Lancelot." Jonathan squinted his eyes and looked at the screen in front of him. On it, the extended trajectory of the fleet that set off for the W3 transition point had already reached one-third of the schedule.Fortunately, he was on guard and asked the fleet to leave later, so that although w3 could not be completely surrounded, he could withdraw in time when he discovered that it was an anti-trap.

The battlefield model behind him clearly showed the current situation. Hehir's fleet was stuck in a stalemate with his. She was directing the fleet to try to dodge and move, fighting for the next recharging and repair time of the shield.

Jonathan frowned. He saw that Lancelot's fleet had crippled half of the imperial fleet. Under his command, different parts of the entire fleet attacked with precision and dodged in a timely manner, as if they could predict the future. .

Sure enough, this person can't stay... Jonathan suppressed the inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart again, and saw Lynn's fleet, which had been undetectable before, quietly appearing behind him, and the starship nimbly turned half a circle, The muzzle of the black hole is facing him, storing blue electric light.It looked dangerous, but Jonathan smiled with satisfaction.

The crazy attack is just the last struggle of the weak before dying.Half an hour later, his fleet returned, and a full six standard mothership battle groups joined the battlefield.

Trap, done.

The author has something to say: Li Qing is about to fall off the horse hahha

Remember what "Stellar Light" means?
