interstellar fairy tale

The flagship of the Eighth Fleet of the Planet Mars is a dark blue battleship called the Heart of the Ocean.Even with such a romantic name, this behemoth still has the obvious characteristics of a Mars warship, with a thick shape, a total of [-] forts at the front and rear, and two large parking areas inside and outside, which can accommodate more than [-] single ships. man fighter.As the center of the permanent fleet of the Kanon military fortress, this flagship is the soul of the entire Eighth Fleet.

A total of three commanders were fortunate enough to board this warship, one of whom died in the interstellar war, and one has retired due to injuries. The active commander is Colonel Edgar's close friend Colonel Hansen.The friendship between the two began at the Madoff Military Academy and lasted nearly 30 years.Different from Edgar's slender body and handsome appearance, Colonel Hansen's body is as strong as a rock, with a square face and resolute features. He is dressed in a straight black military uniform, which highlights his murderous aura.According to Shang Ping, this is like a general fighting in a bloody storm!

As for his adopter, Colonel Edgar, it is always difficult for Shang Ping to connect this handsome man with the fleet commander who has made great achievements in battle. Perhaps it is because he has not seen the relationship with his own eyes, but no matter how much he hears from others, Shang Ping Ping also couldn't imagine the scene of Colonel Edgar standing on the podium with a serious face, commanding his warships to destroy the enemy with ease.

"Edgar, is that the baby you are talking about?"

Hansen, the commander of the Eighth Fleet, walked to Edgar's side. As the hostile player of this actual combat exercise, the single-man fighter unit of the Eighth Fleet was ready to go.As a regular soldier of Mars, no matter who the opponent is, even if it is just a drill, even if the opponent is just a group of young men who have not yet graduated from Madoff Academy, Hansen and his officers and soldiers are still serious about it.Mars boys are born soldiers!This sentence is not just talk.

Edgar looked at the one-man fighter jets parked neatly behind Hansen like a steel giant, took off his military cap, and held it in his hand, "It's just a group of children, Hansen, is it necessary to be so serious?"

"Why not?" Hansen's stern face did not show any smile, but his tone was contradictory with a hint of teasing, "Did someone forget that 25 years ago, it was the same group of children who were stationed in the theater at that time during the play?" The [-]th Fleet fighter unit at Canon Fort was nearly wiped out."

"I have to admit that your memory is very good."

"I'm only 41 years old!"

"Oh, I have to tell you with great regret that all the boys in the fleet thought you were my senior."

The verbal confrontation of the two colonels did not affect the officers and soldiers of the fleet behind them. Whether it was the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Fleet or the Sixth Fleet, they were all accustomed to the childish behavior of the two colonels.This scenario happened almost every day after the Sixth Fleet arrived at the Kanon military fortress.Compared with Colonel Edgar's banditry, the boys of the Sixth Fleet would rather him be naive.As for the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Fleet who have been accustomed to the serious face of Colonel Hansen all the year round, after being frightened by Colonel Hansen's poisonous tongue once, they fully confirmed that the commander is indeed a true Mars soldier, not only possessing an extraordinary military mind , and a poisonous tongue.

After the cadets of the Madoff Military Academy had assembled, they led the instructors to Colonel Hansen and Colonel Edgar, raised their right arms, and solemnly performed a Mars military salute. Hansen and Edgar also raised their right arms high, five fingers across the forehead.

After confirming the number of people participating in the exercise and the relevant arrangements, the instructor and Commander Hansen returned to their respective teams. Edgar and Hansen boarded the flagship of the Eighth Fleet, the Heart of the Ocean. The flagship of the Sixth Fleet is now The warships that were stationed at the parking area of ​​the Kanon military fortress and did not participate in this actual combat exercise were temporarily mixed together, led by Edgar and Hansen's adjutants, who were responsible for patrolling around the interstellar during the combat exercise.The two adjutants once raised objections to this arrangement. It was just an exercise with the cadets. Do two fleet commanders need to be present at the same time?Hansen's answer followed the rules: "The duty of a soldier is to obey!"

Colonel Edgar touched his chin, patted his adjutant on the shoulder, and said, "Dear Feng, how can you bear to deprive me of the chance to admire my beloved baby's heroic appearance in space for the first time?"

As a result, Colonel Hansen's adjutant was once again depressed by the commander's sternness, while Edgar's adjutant slandered the commander's rascal and shameless a hundred times in his heart.It is incredible that such two colonels with completely different personalities are equally brilliant in battle, and their generals and soldiers can also be called the elite of the Mars Space Fleet.

Although the two adjutants were somewhat critical of their respective chiefs, they also carried out their tasks seriously. When the fleet was temporarily mixed, they never complained about their chiefs.

Things in your own fleet, of course, need to be resolved internally!

With the 380 warships responsible for the safety of the actual combat exercise arranged in a circular arrangement, a small battlefield with a radius of 100 million kilometers was immediately formed.In this exercise, in addition to sending 530 fighter jets from the Eighth Fleet, another [-] second-tier warships participated in the battle.There are only [-] eight single-man fighters on the side of Madoff Academy students.It wasn't a close fight, but, for the boys at Madoff Military Academy, it was one they had to overcome.In interstellar wars, it is impossible to always rely on huge warships, especially flagships like the Heart of the Ocean, which are not only expensive, but also inflexible. Many times, in battle, the Mars prefer to control small and flexible ships. The single-man fighters can intercept battleships, and often achieve unexpected results.

Before the battle began, the instructor who led the team stood in front of all the students and shouted loudly: "From now on, you are no longer a group of students, but soldiers on the battlefield! Keep in mind that your opponent is not the Eighth Fleet, It's the enemy! The enemy will never show mercy to your subordinates! Once the fighter jets take off, you must use your housekeeping skills. You must use all your strength and seize all opportunities. Don't be stingy with your shells. The only goal is to shoot down Your enemies! If you want to survive, if you want to graduate smoothly, remember my words! Do you understand?!"

"Understood!"

"Speak louder, do you understand?!"

"Understood!!"

"Damn it, are you Seth's soft-legged shrimps who haven't eaten, get it?!"

"Understood!"

"Very well, now, get ready to board the plane!"

A young military academy boy who has never been on the battlefield, but is motivated by the instructor's encouragement.

The opponents of this group of teenagers, the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Fleet's single fighter jets, laughed and joked after the teenagers' loud voices: "I really want the group of people in Royce's celestial body to listen, those who haven't eaten Seth's soft-legged shrimp? I don't know if those people will be so angry that their heads will be smoked."

A tall young man in combat uniform leaned against the fighter jet, with the helmet in one hand, and whistled to his colleagues, "Hey, Mike, you look so sexy in combat uniform."

"To shut up!"

The muscular tough guy waved his fist at the young man, "Be careful, I'll flatten the face you use to lie to women."

"Ok."

The young man shrugged, grabbed the safety bar, and jumped into the cockpit of the fighter jet. The cockpit recognition scanner automatically scanned the young man's whole body. At the same time, the young man aimed his pupils at the red dot on the upper left of the scanner, and put on the helmet after confirmation by the pupils. At the same time, check the configuration of the artillery shells used for fighter exercises. After confirming that they are correct, the sight falls on an eye-catching red button on the operation panel. It is the trigger button of the fighter self-explosion device. This button will come in handy when you are seriously injured and unable to fight but surrounded by enemies.

The young man smiled slightly, looked at the glass cover on the button, and said to himself: "I don't know if the group of young cadets have been informed by the commander of the purpose of this button? It's like the one-man fighter training cabin of Madoff Military Academy. This self-destruct device is not configured."

"Hanks, what are you talking to yourself about?"

The muscular Mike's voice came from the communicator, "The takeoff signal has been received, and we will enter the takeoff runway immediately!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The young man named Hanks blew a whistle, and buckled down the high-frequency goggles on his helmet. This thing like a glass cover not only protected his eyes from the strong light burns after the particle cannon exploded, but also It can be used as a collimator to determine the position of the attack target.

Following the order issued by the dispatcher on the ground, the [-] one-man fighter jets of the Eighth Fleet flew into space in a conical formation and entered the designated battlefield position.On the side of the Madoff Military Academy cadets, after the initial nervousness and confusion, they also organized the fighter jets into a wedge shape and entered the battlefield.Among them, there were nine junior students including Shang Ping.

Compared with the opponent's leisurely situation, although the formation of the trainees' fighter jets was quite satisfactory, it also exposed shortcomings such as loose formation, which made the fifty second-level warships that entered the battlefield afterwards appear redundant.At least in the eyes of the one-man fighter pilots of the Eighth Fleet, the group of student soldiers on the opposite side were too young to even bluff.

In the face of such an enemy, excessive caution often leads to failure. The quickest way to end the battle is to completely defeat the opponent before they have adapted to the battlefield.These battle-hardened veterans have no intention of being polite to the students at all, not even a modest act of encouragement. Compared with unrealistic politeness, shells are definitely more educational.Although they are equipped with drill bombs, which cannot kill anyone, but they can leave a few bright marks on the opponent's fighter jets, which is better than nothing.

Without any warning, the battle began.

The Eighth Fleet did not need the participation of warships at all. The five hundred single-man fighters were divided into three batches and fired streamer bombs like a rainstorm. Then the formation shrank even tighter, like a sharp sword, fiercely It stabbed at the center of the student fighter group!

When the students finally remembered to fight back with shells, the wedge-shaped formation had been torn open!

Colonel Hansen, who was watching the battle, shook his head, did he really expect too much?Colonel Edgar was still smiling, this was just the beginning, it was too early to say anything.

The battle was completely one-sided. The fighter jets of the Eighth Fleet were like wild wolves plunging into a flock of sheep, reaping the fruits of victory. In an hour's time, there were less than [-] of the more than [-] fighter jets left!

The fighter jets of the Shangping Nine were arranged at the rear, and fortunately they did not become the first target of the enemy.But at this time, Shangping is still not having a good time.Different from the simulated state of the training cabin, and completely different from the situation when taking a cruise ship, flying a fighter jet into space in a real way, from being down-to-earth to the weightless state at once, makes Shangping feel as if the surrounding space is rotating, like A black curtain pressed against him.

Shang Ping could clearly feel his heart beating faster, his breathing was heavy, his eardrums were swollen, and his eyes began to blur.This situation is very bad.Shang Ping could only keep taking deep breaths, forcing himself to focus on the battle that was going on in full swing, at least not to pay too much attention to the buzzing in his brain and the heart that was about to jump out of his chest.

Shang Ping heard a saying in his previous life: You get used to it when you spit it out.

At this moment, I can only encourage myself with some self-deprecating: the dizziness will pass.

However, this is really enough to torture people.

The development of the battle could no longer allow Shang Ping to have fun while suffering.After another flash of white light, Shang Ping could clearly see that dozens of fighter jets of the Eighth Fleet formed a shuttle shape and were tearing apart the formation of one's own side with impunity. The fuselage was left with fatal spots and had to withdraw from the battle according to the rules.

In just a split second, after another student fighter jet quit the battle, Shang Ping subconsciously sensed the danger. Before his brain gave the order, he instinctively clenched the joystick, pulled it upwards, and pressed the buttons on both sides at the same time. Particle cannons, when Shangping's fighter jets flew upwards in a straight line, the two beams of particle light cannons focused on the oncoming enemy fighter jets, leaving a mark worthy of celebration on the flamboyant enemy.

Shang Ping had no time to rejoice at his good luck, another enemy fighter jet leaped into view. Obviously, these fighter pilots of the Eighth Fleet had become paralyzed by the too easy battle, and their eyes were only chasing their prey. Without realizing it, there are also aggressive guys hiding in the flock who will tear open the belly of the wolf with sharp horns.

Shang Ping tensed his nerves and tried his best to control the breathing rhythm. Before he could confirm the target more accurately, the instructor's words kept echoing in his ears: "Only the enemy is on the battlefield!"

It's a pity that the cannonball didn't hit this time. After disappointment, another beam of white particle light cannon surprised Shangping.The other two cadet fighters suddenly appeared on Shangping's two wings, and the three fighters were like horns, blocking the enemy fighters that rushed too close in front of them. With the luck of these three boys, two local fighter jets were hit in fatal parts and quit the battle.

What the trainees are facing are tough fighters who have experienced many battles. The combat experience of these soldiers is by no means comparable to this group of young men who have never been on the battlefield. However, after the three of Shang Ping successfully shot down the enemy plane, the rest of the soldiers More than 200 student fighters began to ignite their fighting spirit.

Since these three can do it, so can they!

The one-man fighter pilots of the Eighth Fleet were surprised to find that the group of lambs who had just been slaughtered by them suddenly raised sharp horns at them, and their attacks were no longer chaotic, but with sharp murderous look.

The battle, now is the real start!

At this moment, Shang Ping only felt his heart beating faster, and an uncontrollable excitement burned his nerves. It was different from shooting down the enemy in the simulated battle in the practice cabin. All kinds of factors began to get excited, staring at the enemy in front of him with piercing eyes, and bloodthirsty fighting spirit was undoubtedly revealed in his eyes.

Colonel Edgar stood in front of the flagship's screen, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened. Even if he only saw the cold fighter jet, he could still know that the one who shot down the enemy fighter plane for the first time just now almost saved the battle situation. People are children who make him proud!

At this moment, the mixed fleet in charge of border patrol suddenly encountered a fleet of unknown origin. Perhaps neither side had expected this situation. After the initial silent confrontation, the mixed fleet chose to leave.And the black fleet dormant in the meteorite group chose to ignore it.

Novi walked into the command cabin. The arrival of the fleet just now inadvertently destroyed a part of his plan. Although he was absolutely sure that the fleet did not belong to his current target planet, it also belonged to the Muse galaxy.

"Your Highness." Novi knelt down on one knee, his monochromatic lips tightly pressed together, "This is my negligence."

Soran Aldrich was sitting on a high-backed chair, his golden and white military uniform was wrinkle-free, his long silver hair was hanging down, his ice blue eyes were still looking at the huge screen. Raise your hand and wave it down.

"Your Highness?"

"It's ok."

A voice like ice crystals sounded, and Soran Edrich put his hand on his cheek and said, "Marshal, maybe you should also take a look, it was really an interesting battle."

Novi stood up, looked at the screen suspiciously, and found that the logos on the fighter jets on the screen were the same as the fleet he had just encountered.

"Your Highness, is this?"

"Interesting, right?"

Soran Edrich moved his finger, and a circular cursor delineated a fighter in the battlefield. It was obviously a battle that was decided, but because of this person, it became a stalemate.

Compared with the conspiracy and tricks under the table, this kind of tactical and strategic miracle aroused his interest more.

"Novi, maybe we can adjust the plan a little bit."

In the face of this stunningly beautiful first prince of the empire, Novi will never show his doubts.All worries and unbelief are provocations and blasphemes against the future monarch of the empire.

Soran Aldrich turned his gaze back to the screen again, and some unexpected frenzy seemed to ignite in his icy blue eyes.
