Covenant, a public star field, a grayish-white nebula band of light shimmered in a cold glow that was not so brilliant in the pitch-black space. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

A combined fleet of 56 warships, 28 ships, in a group, were arranged in groups up and down to form two fan-shaped fleet battle columns.

Reconnaissance ships, destroyers, cruisers, battleships, assault ships, interstellar carriers, and behind the huge fleet group of ships is a mobile satellite military fortress, and the matte titanium-gray fortress exudes a cold signal of danger, and the momentum is magnificent.

By any measure, this is a formidable, terrifying space fleet of unrivaled proportions.

But such a fleet of fleets, which could make any enemy tremble and tremble, looked so small when it faced the ring of nebula, and under the dim circle of arc, it was only a weak and thin ant.

In the area of the public star field near the Covenant border blockade, a series of detection posts have been erected in units of every 10,000 kilometers, and the reconnaissance ships have established a strict monitoring navigation trajectory.

After months of extension and expansion, the ring nebula aperture that opened the space passage between the Worm Domain and the Star Covenant has now spread to the public star field, and at this moment, the United Fleet is facing a space passage gap that has just been confirmed.

"This is the latest list of missing ships. ”

Du Ya, the commander of the three border armies of the Star Alliance, and the two officers of the alliance military department beside her looked at the list and background introduction that appeared in the light curtain in front of her, and their faces sank at the same time.

"The black boxes of any ships have not been found at the moment, and they lost contact with nearby outposts and communication stations soon after approaching the red line area, and can no longer be located. ”

"Is it possible to enter the Worm Domain?"

Theoretically it is not impossible, but logically it does not make sense, these ships include cargo ships, passenger ships, caravans, civil aviation, private ships, and warships of border guards, and they have only one thing in common, and there is no reason to actively try to cross the ring of light into the ample range.

A telecommunications summons interrupted Duya's deliberations with several officers.

"Major General, the meeting is about to begin. ”

"I'll be there right away. ”

Duya teleported from the fleet's main battleship to a satellite fortress in the rear.

The empty long table in the originally empty ** conference room was gradually filled by people who appeared one after another.

Thousands of delegates from the Star Alliance Military Department, Star Alliance governments, the Explorers Guild, the Star Alliance Council, the Knights' Palace, and citizen representatives were crowded in the ** conference room, and the buzzing discussion was noisy like a market in a city square.

The message conveyed by the 3rd Frontier Corps is too alarming.

"Ahem"

"Ahem"

The speaker of the conference cleared his throat several times in succession to signal silence, and even if he rang the ding-dong-dong-dong, it was to no avail.

The news just announced was so shocking that the representatives of all sides could not stop the discussion at all.

Pressing the mute cursor, the entire conference room instantly fell silent, and the delegates who were discussing each other suddenly realized that even if they shouted loudly, they couldn't hear the people around them, so they sat upright and looked up at the representatives of the coalition military headquarters standing in the center of the conference hall.

The lieutenant colonel who presided over the meeting saw that everyone was sitting in danger at this moment, raised his hand to summon the holographic light curtain in the center of the conference room, and then entered the main topic of this joint meeting.

The star map jumped out, and a grayish-white nebula band with shimmering points of light appeared in the inky blue starry sky.

"As you can see, the ring of aperture that connects the insect domain is constantly expanding, this is the latest discovery of an aperture band, originally a scattered small nebula, but recently that the gap between them disappeared a week ago and completely merged together to form the current scale ......"

Even if they had received the wind before, they still gasped when they saw the ring aperture in the star map with their own eyes, especially when the picture in the light curtain was played quickly, they seemed to see the pitch-black space being stretched apart and torn out a ring of light.

"Oh......"

"This ...... This ......"

"The Stars Are Above.......

Even if you can't hear anything, just by looking at your mouth, you can tell what everyone in the room is exclaiming at the moment.

"The data on the missing ships since the beginning of the week has been transmitted to you, and the details of the rest will be explained to you in detail by Duya, the commander of the three armed forces in charge of this area. ”

Duya is one of the few female legionnaires in the Star Alliance Alliance, her long silver-gray hair is tied behind her head, her military uniform sets off the smooth and toned muscle lines, and her sharp gaze sweeps over everyone in the conference room, and the light curtain changes when Duya waves her hand.

"So far, there has been no sign of the Zerg coming and going, which does not mean that we can sit back and relax," Duya said directly, "Everyone, be mentally prepared, the situation is not optimistic." ”

"This is the fifth nebula circle that has appeared in this month, and they can all be connected to the Worm Domain, once the scale is formed, the Zerg army can go straight to the hinterland of the Star Covenant in an instant, it is not the first and will not be the last. ”

This is a grim and helpless situation.

"We all know the dangers of these ring bands, but what do we do?"

"Although the wormhole has disappeared, the harm of these rings of light is no less than that of the wormhole......"

"What is the top priority to solve the ......"

"Will the line of defense continue to tighten?"

"Speaking of which, it's still the Zerg's trouble, in my opinion, it's better to take this opportunity to completely eliminate the Zerg and incorporate the Zerg into the Covenant's territory......"

"Actually, it's not unavoidable to have a place like this in the Chaos Star Field......"

"The two can't be confused at all, do you still want to form an alliance with the Zerg like the Weilan Empire?"

"Fight, and the threat of completely exterminating the Zerg will be lifted. ”

"To put it simply, if such a war of attrition were really that easy, it would not have dragged on for so long and could not be resolved. ”

"Speaking of the Weilan Empire, it has always been a great threat......

After a round of heated discussions, the meeting did not come to any conclusion, let alone the adoption of any effective implementation strategy, which was at best a routine notice.

At the end of the meeting, more than half of the people left one after another, and the conference room returned to an empty and spacious environment.

Until the people were almost gone, there were only five people left, the two elders of the guild, the government representative of the Free Commonwealth, and Major General Duya.

At this time, there was one more person at the top of the long table, and some short, emaciated figures put their hands on their backs, and nodded to the few people who were standing to sit down.

The few people who were told to stop for a while were a little surprised to see the Speaker at such a regular meeting.

The Speaker of the House of Commons appeared in the almost empty room, and the Speaker motioned for the correspondent to come forward.

"We have another discovery around the ring of the aperture, not just this one aperture, we have the same finding in all the surrounding starry sky environments where the ring aperture appears......"

waved his hand to change the picture of the light curtain, "The place where these gray ripple marks appear is the area where we have detected the latest changes, the space fluctuations are abnormal, the probability of starry sky storms is also rising, the space environment has become extremely unstable, and even the failure rate of starship spacecraft continues to rise......"

One after another data report appeared in front of everyone, which was a detection report that was not suitable for public disclosure for the time being, and would only cause more panic and confusion, and also indicated that the crisis encountered by the Star Alliance at the moment was not as simple as the Zerg invasion.

"The Council Investigation Team is already following up on this matter, and I believe that the Explorers Guild is more experienced in detecting and investigating in this area."

The Speaker took a very flat stance and was sincere, "This may be the biggest crisis that the Covenant will encounter in hundreds of centuries, and I hope we can cooperate openly and honestly......"

"If there is a bug wave in these rings of light that appear in the territory of the Star Alliance......"

Needless to say, they all know how much of an impact it will have on the border defenses, but even if there are no insect waves, frequent starry storms are a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

"The combined fleet led by Commander Duya of the Three Legions is in this area at the moment, what do you think?"

"So the Speaker said there was a plan?"

No one answered directly, but asked rhetorically.

"In fact, the parliament has always intended to send troops to take the initiative, but there are many obstacles, and the proposal has not been passed in the parliament, but time is running out for ......"

"The guild has also received news that the cause of the ship's failure rate is difficult to define, and the Zerg's magnetic field may also be the reason."

"The number of missing ships is much more than that, the detailed data is still being counted, and if you count the unregistered smuggling ships, the number is even higher. ”

Everyone's expressions were hard to relax, and the elders of the Explorer Guild tapped on the table and popped up a file that was opened one by one and passed on to the others.

"There seems to be a new movement on the side of the Weilan Empire, and the expeditionary force has left the territory of the empire and began to appear in the public star field. ”

"This is the latest information from the Weilan Empire sent back by the Night Yama Explorer Group, you can take a look. ”

When everyone present checked the information, one by one did not show any surprises.

"Not surprisingly, the royal family of the Weilan Empire has gone crazy. ”

This also means that the danger level of the Weilan Empire has been raised even higher, and the threat that a powerful empire with crazy people can bring to the Star Alliance is too great.

"I think with that, plus your influence, Speaker, should be able to get the bill passed. ”

This is the sincerity of the Explorers' Guild.

The Covenant Council has always been very ambiguous in its attitude towards Mo Ye, and has not expressed its position directly, and the elders of the Explorers Guild know why the Council is so clear, but only reminded: "Speaker, you also mentioned before that the Star Covenant is in a serious and dangerous situation, and it is time to restrain your subordinates. ”

"The Council has always focused on the big picture, and you can rest assured that we are focused on the Covenant. ”

"Hmph. Another guild elder chuckled, obviously disagreeing with this, the most annoying council has always been an official face for the sake of all mankind from the top to the small role, "I hope your council doesn't say one thing and do another." ”

"The Weilan Empire has recently had a large number of military movements, not only the expeditionary force, but also the fleets belonging to other legions have also frequently and massively entered and exited the chaotic star field and the public star field, and the border planet is in serious turmoil. ”

The small countries surrounding the Weilan Empire were almost completely wiped out, which also led to an influx of displaced and homeless refugees in the surrounding countries.

The nations of the Covenant hated the actions of the Weilan Empire.

"The three legions have already begun to investigate and deal with it, hoping that the guild can give the greatest support. ”

Several bigwigs secretly discussed the exclusion of the others, and a fifteen-minute meeting was not a long time.

**The screen flickered up to twenty-eight times throughout the meeting, with two interruptions.

"Rest assured, Speaker, we will fully cooperate. ”

When the meeting ended, Duya was the only one left in the room above the satellite fortress, and she pushed open the door to the conference room and exited the link.

From the chamber in the middle of the satellite fortress, Duya did not make too many stops in the fortress, but quickly returned to the bridge of the main ship.

The correspondent of the fleet was then presented during the Duya meeting

"Head Du, what do you say about this meeting?"

Instead of answering, Duya asked, "Is the scout team back?"

Two mecha reconnaissance teams were dispatched a day ago, but there was no feedback.

The adjutant's answer made Commander Duya frown.

Walking to the observation tower of the satellite fortress, the dense fog-like ring of light stretches as far as the eye can see, and the fleet is particularly small in the starry sky.

"What's that?"

The watchtower's sentry pressed the alarm: "A UFO has been spotted approaching at high speed." ”

"UFOs found. ”

The detector zoomed in the viewing lens, and a black dot flew out of the annular circle of light at an extremely fast speed.

"It's like an escape pod for a flying machine. ”

Around the ring of aperture, they have found a lot of mecha and aircraft wreckage that are different from the Star Alliance's system, and there are also human beings living on the other side of the Insect Domain, which ordinary people don't know, but the Star Alliance Alliance and the high-level leaders of various countries know very well.

At this moment, it doesn't seem so surprising that a flying machine has rushed out of the ring of the ring of the band, even if this ring of the circle has never had any Zerg in and out so far.

The speed of the black dot is getting faster and closer to the detection range.

"Sure enough, it's an escape pod"

"Quick, salvage the aircraft ready. ”

The hatch under the ship was opened, and several professional salvage aircraft flew out, moving towards different coordinate directions, each in place.

"Ready"

"The target is locked. ”

The escape pod flew at a speed far beyond normal values, more like a kinetic cannonball fired at high speed.

Soon the salvage aircraft will be in place, "launched"

As the launch command was issued, the elastic energy salvage net ejected to form a blue light barrier, and the escape pod plunged headlong into it, and the speed continued to slow down in the energy net, but the high-speed friction brought another serious sequelae.

"Oops, high-speed friction leads to too high temperatures"

"Cool down, cool down quickly"

After a series of salvage maneuvers, the escape pod was successfully contained.

The cylindrical escape pod is hundreds of meters long and is housed on the space platform extended by the starship carrier under the premise of uncertain safety.

The black cylinder is tightly closed and smooth without a single gap, unless it is violently disassembled, and it is incredibly smooth and uncan't find any place to open it.

"It's all made in one piece?"

Is this an escape pod or not?
