"What kind of bullshit is that old thief Hodgkin talking about?" On the destroyer, Metierin cursed immediately after watching the video transmitted from Leto.

"A person who has never said from the bottom of his heart, 'Just for the Alliance, go forward courageously', a person who has never taken up arms to defend the stars behind him, what qualifications does he have to assert that the Alliance is rotten? So many people died and were injured, and he wiped them out with just one word?"

Metierin's eyes became sharper: "Compared with the Alliance admiral, he is more suitable to be a cunning liar full of lies! Even the four-star admiral can't satisfy him. Is he eager to change the Alliance into an empire and enjoy the entire galaxy by himself? Oh, can't you just say what you think in your heart? You have to raise a big banner to cover it up. Can you cover it up?"

Wein waited for Metierin to finish scolding: "Colonel Metierin, be careful not to get angry to death."

Metierin took a deep breath in an exaggerated manner: "It's not a good idea to get angry to death, I'm not angry, I'm - not - angry!"

Wein shut up unconsciously, thinking, it would be more convincing if you didn't slap the destroyer's control panel.

Dushan interrupted, with a murderous look in his eyes: "If I were in Leto, would I still listen to his nagging? I would just shoot him in the head!"

Metierin laughed: "That's a good idea!"

Although they said so, they all knew that Hodgkin would definitely be brought to the Supreme Court of the Alliance for trial, and every charge should be known to everyone present and in the future along with his name.

Long Xiyun spoke at this time: "General Nie sent a message that the rebels have disarmed."

Wei Yin was surprised: "So they surrendered? I thought they were going to fight back!"

Lu Fenghan spoke: "If it were interstellar pirates, they would definitely fight back."

The most fundamental difference between interstellar pirates and rebels is that interstellar pirates are after money and profit, and they kill and rob people. If there is any benefit, they will swarm like vultures. When the bombardment comes, they will run faster than anyone else to save their lives.

Such people will fight back most strongly before they die.

Rebels are different.

The lower-level rebels have been brainwashed since birth. They believe in God and the wise man, God's spokesperson, from the psychological to the spiritual. They are not afraid of death for this.

But when this belief collapses in an instant, the entire army is also destroyed.

After thinking it over, Wein pointed his chin at the planet where the gun was facing: "Commander, how do we fight now?"

After the space fortress ring was blown up, all the guns of the expeditionary force were aimed at the God's Court, with the purpose of intimidating and warning the rebels far away in Leto. In fact, the planetary defense system is still there, and if you want to capture the wise man, you have to pass the last level.

Lu Fenghan did not answer, but asked Pojun first: "What are the calculation results?"

Pojun replied: "The results are out."

At the same time, a suspended miniature planet appeared above all the starship control platforms, and the surface of the planet was divided into countless blocks of different colors.

"According to the general's order, I have measured the defense system of the entire planet and concluded that the planetary defense system is the weakest in the red area."

Mei Jielin twisted her hair: "Commander, you must have been the most annoying academic bully in the class. Everyone was posing, but you were secretly doing something else."

Lu Fenghan drove the humanoid mecha back: "Have we entered the tea party state now?"

Knowing that Lu Fenghan was annoyed by their talkativeness, several captains fell silent.

With Lu Fenghan's order, some starships moved towards the marked red area, all thrusters were preheated, and then, high-sensitivity cannons and planetary missiles surged towards the planet ahead like huge waves!

The Divine Court's planetary defense system was of course built at great expense, but under the massive bombing of the well-equipped expeditionary force, they could only watch helplessly as the defense system was breached.

Maybe it's because he has been in the expeditionary force for too long, but Pojun has also developed a little habit of searching: "We have successfully destroyed the defense system, and there is no need to waste ammunition."

Meijielin was the first to praise: "Pojun is really good, hardworking and thrifty!"

Pojun: "Thank you Miss Meijielin for the compliment, I will continue to work hard."

At this time, Long Xiyun suddenly said: "A large number of starships were detected in the atmosphere!"

Weiyin: "Are there only wise men living in the Divine Court? Does he want to escape?"

Meijielin: "Could it be that those launched are just airships or something? " What, to confuse our sight, and then the wise ones sneak out of the encirclement when we are not paying attention?"

Lu Fenghan gave a brief order: "Hold on, don't let any of them escape."

Mei Jielin raised the corner of her eye, smiled and saluted Lu Fenghan: "Yes! What I like most is shooting birds!"

Du Shang also rubbed his hands in preparation: "Isn't it just the hit rate? Show you what it means to hit the target every time!"

As expected, when the salvage ship used its metal arm to pull over an enemy ship with its power system penetrated, it opened the hatch and saw that it was empty.

Wei Yin sighed: "The rebels are really well-off!"

Just as the expeditionary ships were using enemy ships as targets to practice their hit rates, Qi Yan, sitting in the cockpit of the humanoid mecha, suddenly ordered Po Jun: "Rewind the surveillance camera's image by 5.73 seconds."

He had already handed the driving rights back to Lu Fenghan, holding a bag of nutritional supplements in his hand, and spoke with a little strength.

The screen stopped at the required time axis point.

Qi Yan looked at it carefully and said, "General, it's a bit strange." He said in more detail, "The destroyer sequence of each fleet will be marked with numbers on the starboard side of the starship. This destroyer numbered L173 was destroyed in the battle with the Third Army."

Lu Fenghan immediately understood what Qi Yan meant - a certain number of rebels used disguised starships to silently blend into the expeditionary formation.

Those airships released by the Divine Court were indeed to cover up their tracks.

In the communication channel, Lu Fenghan immediately issued an order: "Everyone, be alert, check the communication situation. Pojun, monitor the signal."

In a few seconds, green dots of light gradually lit up on the shadows of the fleet suspended in the air, indicating that the communication was smooth.

Soon, nearly a hundred starships marked with red replaced the image of the fleet.

Pojun reported: "These starships are excluded from our military communication system. When you ordered everyone to check whether the communication was smooth, they did not produce the same signal fluctuations."

Lu Fenghan was nervous and ordered loudly: "Release the information immediately!"

Time went forward a few dozen seconds.

On the destroyer, after Chagall tested the communication, he turned his head and said to Calvin: "Senior, have you ever been to Leto before?"

Calvin chuckled: "Why, do you want to invite your senior to have a drink together?"

Chagall felt a little embarrassed after his purpose was exposed: "Not really... I remembered there was a restaurant next to the First Military Academy. I heard that the home-brewed wine sold in that restaurant is very good. If you come to Leto in the future, I will take you to try it."

Calvin's smile deepened. He felt that this kid was quite self-conscious. It was worth it that he had shared all his practical experience with him.

But he didn't agree immediately: "Let's talk about it after the war. However, since it's good wine, I'll remember it first."

Chagall was about to say "OK", but suddenly glanced to the side and asked curiously: "Senior, do you think that destroyer is a little bit wrong? Is the power system broken or the control system has a problem? The bow is tilted and motionless."

Following Chagall's line of sight, Calvin frowned: "A new recruit who has not been to the battlefield twice and is in a mess?" As he said that, he wanted to send a communication request to ask what was going on.

At this moment, without any warning, the destroyer suddenly moved, and the speed was pulled to the maximum, attacking like a hunting falcon!

Completely unprepared to be attacked from his own side, Chagall was so shocked that he could only dodge instinctively. Both people in the cockpit fell to the side.

His arm hit something, and Chagall gasped in pain while reporting the situation upwards: "Report! The nearby destroyer numbered L173 is suspected to be out of control or has been controlled by the enemy. The attack is extremely high--"

Flames exploded, and the words stopped on his lips. Chagall watched helplessly as a starship was destroyed not far away, and the one who did it was the destroyer numbered L173.

From the accident to the strange starship coming back at them with a burning flame, it was only a blink of an eye.

Calvin's body was covered in cold sweat and turned into ice. Relying on his wartime experience, he quickly determined the forward jump trajectory and prepared to perform a maneuver jump, but it was too late.

In the hundredth of a second when the burning starship reached full speed, Calvin's arm muscles bulged and tightened, and he fiercely turned the entire destroyer sideways. At the same time, he changed the angle and ejected the escape capsule towards the nearest salvage ship! In

the chaos, as the escape capsule flew away, the two destroyers collided and burst into a huge flame.

The escape capsule was pushed further by the thrust caused by the explosion. Xia Gaer coughed bitterly because of the pressure on his chest. He clung to the inner wall of the escape capsule, his knuckles turning blue. He stared at the flames, his mind blank.

Mei Jielin's ears buzzed, and her eyes were full of anger: "Fuck his ancestors! How dare you play dirty!"

Long Xiyun: "The enemy tried to cause chaos inside to cover the wise man's escape!"

Mei Jielin stopped talking, her lips tightened, her eyes seemed to be burning with dark flames, she drove the destroyer into the vast expanse of artillery fire and wreckage, and according to the message sent by Lu Fenghan, she cut down the disguised enemy ships one by one as if she had a knife in her hand!

At this moment, she was like an enraged lion, rapidly shuttling through the dark jungle, constantly searching for her target.

No -

no -

none of them -

suddenly, three destroyers crashed into Metzelin's eyes.

From the appearance and shape, there was no difference between the three destroyers. However, when the exploding shrapnel wrapped in flames passed by, the two destroyers on the left and right were faintly protecting the middle one, forming a defensive posture, and were heading towards the edge of the battle circle intentionally or unintentionally.

Metzelin's hand holding the joystick loosened, moved her five fingers, and then tightened it again.

There was a surge of anger in her heart, waiting to be released.

At this time, the opponent was as sharp as a snake, and obviously discovered her first!

After sending out a signal of "requesting nearby support", Mei Jielin avoided the high-sensitivity cannons and laser cannons that attacked one after another. While counterattacking neatly, she noticed that the starship she was targeting was evacuating rapidly. She took the time to look at the radar, but there was nothing on it -

the opponent was well prepared, and who knew what kind of efficient stealth device it had.

In this way, it was impossible to locate, and the main ship's long-range attack was impossible, so it could only win by close combat.

The two starships on the opposite side should be the elite of the Divine Court. In a few breaths, Mei Jielin and the opponent fired more than a dozen cannons. Both sides dodged without revealing any flaws. It was extremely difficult and frustrating.

With a beep, three nearby destroyers that came to support arrived first. Mei Jielin shouted hoarsely into the communication channel, "Hold those two starships," and then pulled the joystick hard, rushing out like an arrow! It

was basically certain that the destroyer not only had a stealth device, but also had undergone high-precision modifications. Its speed was more than twice as fast as the most advanced destroyers of the Alliance.

In order to shorten the distance, Mei Jielin made seven consecutive maneuver jumps. Too frequent jumps caused waves of nausea to rise, and her eyes were dizzy. She forced herself to suppress the discomfort.

She thought, it doesn't matter if she chased the wrong person, just treat it as helping the commander eliminate a suspect. If we are lucky, the starship really carries the wise man, then we will make a fortune. We

were pulled away again.

Mei Jielin took a look. After continuous maneuvering and leaping, the energy was almost exhausted. The nearest supply ship was unknown how many stars away.

We can't chase like this anymore.

Mei Jielin didn't hesitate, clenched his fist, and smashed the square transparent cover on the upper right corner of the control table.

Then, a cold electronic voice sounded: "Are you sure to activate 'Extreme Boost'?"

Death is nothing strange. Many soldiers on the front line have ended up like this.

Mei Jielin replied: "Yes."

The electronic voice replied: "Okay, 'Extreme Boost' will be activated in ten seconds, please pay attention."

The countdown is ten seconds.

The noise of the destroyer's operation suddenly rose to a level that was annoying. The temperature in the cockpit rose, and the power and power system load indicators all turned deep red.

Five seconds countdown.

Mei Jielin unbuttoned her military jacket with one hand and licked her dry lips, neither anxious nor afraid.

The countdown ended.

The entire destroyer was shot forward like an invisible bowstring, flying past, leaving only a gray shadow in the dark space. In a flash, the distance between the two starships suddenly shortened, and Mei Jielin could already see the stern of the other ship.

The alarms in the cabin sounded one after another, almost like a chorus. Someone's voice rang out in the communication channel. Mei Jielin stared at her prey with full concentration and breathed lightly.

When the destroyer stuck to the port side of the enemy ship, Mei Jielin suddenly curled her lips, held the control stick and pressed down hard, and crashed into it at a very high speed!

At this moment, every second seemed to be cut into countless pieces. She could feel the violent shaking in the cockpit, the suffocation in her chest, the flashing dazzling red light, the air around her that could burn people, and the enemy ship's defense system being torn apart after the collision, revealing the mottled armor layer...

With such a high speed and such a strong collision, once it explodes, nothing will be left.

Perhaps, she will die here.

This thought surged up, but the hand holding the joystick did not loosen the force at all.

The silent explosion rolled up a huge energy vortex, as if it resonated with the heroic spirit sleeping here.

Under the flames rising to the sky, a destroyer arrived and thrust its metal arm into the sea of ​​fire without hesitation...

"The genetic samples of the two wise men have been found... It's the wise man himself!"

"... I've informed Leto! Finally, we can say 'Leto' as before, and no longer mention the difficult name 'Odin'!"

Metzelin's ears were ringing heavily, and she could vaguely hear the conversation. She wondered if she was dead or not. It seemed that the probability of her not dying was a little higher?

But when did she become strong enough to withstand that level of explosion?

"... The rebels have a lot of hidden stuff in their closets. Even with such a powerful bombing method, the entire cockpit is still intact, not damaged at all!"

Not damaged?

Her whole body ached, and her eyelids felt like they were covered with eighty layers of adhesive. But because of this news, Mei Jie Lin opened her eyes abruptly, her voice hoarse as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper: "No... damage?"

The conversations around her stopped abruptly.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Mei Jie Lin.

Weiyin stood closest. He blinked slowly, looking at the person clinging to the edge of the treatment cabin like a water ghost, and answered stutteringly: "It's OK, but the person inside was stunned. He didn't run away. It has been confirmed that he is the wise man."

He lowered his voice and looked at the warrior: "Colonel Mei Jielin, you are bleeding all over now. Although you were barely rescued by the broken army, you are not far from falling apart. How about you... lie down first?"

In the end, Mei Jielin only lay in the treatment cabin for more than half an hour, stopped bleeding, and barely looked like a human being.

Her princess cut was burned by the fire, leaving only a few strands of hair hanging on her forehead. The shape was not very good, but no one laughed at her.

Without asking for help, Mei Jielin took the military jacket that Qi Yan handed to her, put it on her shoulders, stood up straight, and looked as solemn as the people around her.

The muzzles of the guns were retracted, and the starships floated in the space, with the shield and sword emblems shining.

Those who were shot at Turan Academy.

Those who died in Maple Dan No. 1.

The nameless people who were not afraid of death.

Those who used their own strength to protect the stars behind them...

The sea of ​​stars gathered, and with billions of stars as candles, they paid tribute to the dead of the Alliance.
