USS Ballet.

Lunxi tasted the most rich and mellow tea, which is a royal tribute, and a sip is a supreme enjoyment.

The situation is very good.

The fleet continues to track, and it is not far off for the adventurous fleet of the Marauder civilization to catch up.

The enemy fleet flew too slowly, and they could only advance at a speed of about 20,000 kilometers per second.

Luncy's fleet, on the other hand, can easily fly faster than the speed of light, chasing after it at two, three or even ten times the speed of light.

This huge difference in speed naturally leads to a 'cat and mouse' game.

However, Luncy, who has a conservative and calm personality, likes this kind of 'advantage crushing' battle without difficulty.

Drinking good tea, Luncy even began to sketch out scenes of victory in his mind.

The enemy with the backward level of the starships was attacked by the Star Destroyers, Heavy Ships and other warships under his command with various weapons in turn, and they were beaten to pieces.

Will they cry and shout for mercy and surrender?

Or, on the way to escape, they were plagued by dark microorganisms day and night, and they were hoping that a high-level civilization would rescue them!

Of course, Luncy won't tell them, in fact, the Garan Empire can't do anything with the dark microbes, haha!

Luncy couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought of all kinds of victories and the thought that he would become the commander of the fleet in the future.

"Interesting!

Luncy held the teacup and smiled from ear to ear.

At this time, the navigation staff officer stepped forward.

"Report to the Chief of Staff, there's an update!"

Well?

Luncy was immersed in fantasy when he was suddenly interrupted, and immediately squinted his eyebrows and looked coldly at the navigation staff officer.

"What's new?"

The staff officer immediately said loudly: "After analysis and comparison, we have found that with the current course speed, we will enter the star field where we have searched for Entez and other defectors in 57 hours!"

"Ahh......h Is this the rhythm of revisiting?"

Luncy grinned, but he smiled and smiled, but the smile quickly faded.

"No, I seem to remember that in the Marauder Civilization data we cracked, it seems to include the planet Harak, and when Entez reported that his 17th Mobile Patrol Fleet was near this planet, encountered a low-level Marauder civilization, and launched a chase and strangulation battle, and returned home!"

Luncy put the teacup down, frowning, muttering to himself.

"The most dangerous place is often the safer! Entez led the crowd to defect, and it was the best to go to the Harak planet, because the marauder civilization had been scared away and scared, and they didn't dare to return to the planet, and Entez made trouble through technology, so that our interstellar combat forces could make the exact location of the Harak planet, and he must have done this to cover up his true hiding location!"

"That's right! Harak Planet! Entez must be hiding here! So, this time, I will lead a team to pursue the adventure fleet of the Marauder Civilization, and maybe I can pass by Harak Planet and arrest Entez and the others!"

"Haha! Lao Tzu is going to make meritorious service! Lao Tzu is going to make great contributions! Haha!"

Luncy was simply crazy with joy.

The pursuit of the Marauder Adventuring Fleet, in order to cover up the scandal of the interstellar combat forces, is a great credit at your fingertips.

And finding the defectors such as Entez, whether they are killed or captured alive, and bringing them back to the home planet of the empire is definitely a great achievement, and His Majesty the Emperor is happy, maybe not only to add officials to the knighthood, but also to have various material rewards!

O man!

Luck is coming, I can't stop it!

Luncy was smiling and cheerful.

The navigation staff officer on the side frowned and looked confused.

What's going on?

Is the chief of staff of the fleet crazy? Why is he smirking one moment and being in a daze the next?

However, he didn't dare to disturb out loud, so he could only wait silently.

After all kinds of thoughts and thoughts for a while, Luncy suddenly came back to his senses.

"Hmm...... This is really a great discovery, you are serious and rigorous, and you deserve to be commended!"

"Thank you, Chief of Staff, for the compliment!"

"Okay, then since we can complete two missions at once, let's cheer everyone up, let's increase the speed by another 20%, increase reconnaissance efforts, continue to maintain the existing reconnaissance and search formation, and strive to find the planet Halak as soon as possible, and find that damn adventure fleet!"

Luncy said, and patted the navigation staff officer on the shoulder very kindly.

This small action really surprised the navigation staff, and he really wanted to follow Lunxi to throw his head and spill his blood, and immediately stood up and saluted energetically, and then walked like the wind to carry out Lunxi's order.

Shortly thereafter.

The 21 warships under the command of Luncy all increased their speed sharply and accelerated their sailing.

This abnormal situation was immediately discovered by Qintian's early warning monitoring network and reported in time.

"Sudden speed-up, but the course and formation have not changed? What do you mean? Do you want to find the planet Halak faster?"

Qin Tian decided to respond to all changes with the same, and the established tactics could not be easily changed.

If the enemy fleet speeds up, then let the high-speed engineering ships that go to encrypt and lay mines shorten the operation time, and end the operation as soon as possible, so as to avoid being detected by them.

In addition, since the enemy fleet is about to enter the battlefield in advance, then Qin Tian's fleet should also enter the final inspection and preparation before the battle, and must ensure that every battleship is in the best condition to meet this big battle.

Time ticks and ticks.

The time before the big war always passed very slowly, as if it had slowed down tenfold.

Qin Tian waited for a long time, bored and even watched a movie for a while, estimated that the time was about the same, and chatted for a long time with his family members who were far away on earth, and when the children went to school and Xiao Lan and the others went to work, Qin Tian began to get bored again.

More than thirty hours, more than a day, and Luncy's fleet was also more than ten hours away from the nearest minefield.

If it was just a simple wait, Qin Tian had many ways to pass the time, but before the big war came, time was really not certain, who knew if the Sixth Fleet of the Garan Empire would suddenly speed up again, or adjust its course, change its formation, and so on.

Therefore, Qin Tian couldn't sleep if he wanted to, for fear of delaying the fighter, after all, this was the first interstellar war in his life, a strong confrontation, this was not a drill, let alone a science fiction movie.

Waiting because of excitement, sleepless because of excitement.

It's an indescribable mood, with a bit of anxiety and all kinds of excitement.

Qin Tian felt as if he had returned to many years ago, on the eve of the college entrance examination to change his fate, he was either afraid of the enemy and cowardly, nor afraid of lack of preparation, or he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

Since he couldn't sleep, he simply didn't sleep, and Qin Tian began to reconsider his tactics, think about the details of the battle, and weigh and scrutinize it repeatedly.

On the other side, Rency and the others in the Barlean Star Destroyer, they also couldn't sleep, not only the Sixth Fleet, but the entire Garan Empire had not fought for too long, and they urgently needed a hearty victory, and they were going crazy with their desire for military achievements.

How many years have you waited to get to this day, can he sleep in Renci?

He was extremely excited, and he also knew that it was very important to recuperate, so after waiting for more than an hour without results, he followed the advice of the medical officer, took an injection and went to sleep.

This night, Luncy slept very peacefully and steadily, he dreamed that he had made great achievements, was received by His Majesty the Emperor, not only replaced the long-lost Tormine tart as the commander of the fleet, but also obtained the title, he really walked on the pinnacle of life, and for a time it was really beautiful, and many county lords and princesses were vying to marry him......

Beautiful!

The sweet dream is so sweet, Luncy is drooling at the corners of his lips when he falls asleep, smiling, it's really beautiful.

However......

Just when he dreamed that he was marrying the daughter of the Emperor of the Garan Empire, the most favored Princess Nati, the grand wedding ceremony was extremely spectacular and lively, and many princes and nobles came to congratulate him.

Just as the salute was fired, in the magnificent overture, the master of ceremonies sang loudly, and when Luncy and his wife Princess Nati bowed to His Majesty the Emperor, his ears were filled with the sound of a roaring salute, and the shock wave of the salute even made him feel his body tremble, but he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and he was still smiling in his sleep.

However, the salute in this dream and the thunder in reality have complemented each other.

21 interstellar warships, including the USS Baria, which was advancing at great speed, rushed into a large minefield.

In this star field, many kinds of heavy weapons are suspended in the air, neutron pulse bombs, gravity bombs, etc., which have been waiting for the arrival of this fleet for a long time.

When the battleships flew in, they entered their passive detection range.

In an instant, within millions of kilometers, it was as if they had fallen into a mottled ocean of light and shadow, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, all kinds of colors, it was really violet and red, as if this starry sky was lit up in an instant.

There was no loud bang of explosions, no flying shock waves and shrapnel.

However, this instantaneous explosion brought about incomparable high temperature and high heat scorching, countless death rays and high-energy pulses, gravitational distortion and magnetic field chaos that were invisible to the naked eye.

The 21 starships that were advancing side by side were like sailing at high speed on the calm sea, but suddenly fell into a large chaotic sea area formed by super tsunamis, super hurricanes and super earthquakes.

Powerful tremors, violent shaking, dull roars, shrill alarms......

Luncy, who was daydreaming, did not wake up, on the contrary, these chain reactions of the massive attack on the Barle-Star Destroyer seemed to make his dream more real.

He dreamed that he was standing in the palace, standing on the wedding stage, with the black eyes of His Majesty the Emperor and the earnest eyes of many imperial concubines behind him, and in front of him, there were countless guests and the enthusiastic cheers of the people.

The enthusiasm is like fire, and the atmosphere is thunderous.

Luncy felt like he was on top of his life, enjoying the most glorious moments of his life.

But I don't know......

"Chief of Staff!Wake up, Chief of Staff!!"

The medical officer, who was in charge of taking care of Luncy to sleep and accompanying him, was shaken violently and fell directly to the ground, so he almost crawled to the side of the bed and shook Luncy desperately.

The effect of the medicine has not yet passed, and he is still deep in a sweet dream.

The shaking of the medical officer, in his dream, Luncy felt that he was surrounded by little children, they laughed and asked for red envelopes, and the happy Luncy of course spent a lot of money and threw it generously.

The medical officer was dumbfounded.

The fleet suffered such a tragic situation, and the situation was very critical, but the chief of staff, Rency, seemed to be still dreaming.

When is it, what are you daydreaming about!

The medical officer was anxious, and if the fleet suffered losses as a result, his guilt would be great.

After thinking for a moment, the medical officer didn't care too much, and took out a portable electric shocker directly from the medical box.

Zizizi~Bang!

Zizizi~Bang!

Two consecutive high-voltage electric shocks directly shook Luncy's body.

Luncy, who is dreaming a lot, where can he withstand such a 'heavy blow', the high-voltage electric shock is used to rescue the person in cardiac arrest, and it is applied to him as a normal person, this taste is really not ordinary sour.

"Poof~Oh!"

Luncy woke up suddenly, his whole body was in pain, and he reflexively formed a bow.

Suddenly opened his eyes, Lunxi's eyes bulged, his eyes were extremely wide, his face was originally full of red light, his face turned purple, the green tendons on his forehead were popping out, he clenched his teeth, and his eyes were full of bloodshots.

It hurts!

The medical officer immediately threw away the high-voltage electric shocker and crawled on the ground like a sieve: "Chief of staff, it's not good, we have been ambushed!"

Ambush?

Luncy's brows furrowed immediately, and it took him a full two or three seconds before he felt that the whole battleship seemed to be shaking, as if he was sitting on a rocking car, and in an instant, his sweet dream was awake, and he who originally wanted to scold the medical officer for disturbing his sweet dream, swallowed back the words to his mouth.

Moment!

Luncy rolled over and got out of bed, and was in a hurry to go out, but he was in such a hurry that he forgot that he had just suffered two high-voltage electric shocks, and his body was a little weak, and the musculature of his body was trembling.

Boom!

Luncy fell face down in embarrassment, and landed face on the ground.

Yes~

A scream like killing a pig immediately resounded in the commander's lounge.

The medical officer was half frightened and quickly got up to help Luncy up, but when he saw Luncy's face, he was immediately startled.

There was blood all below the nostrils, and the bridge of the nose was not broken, but it was also seriously injured, and the gurgling blood made one of Lunci's faces blurry with blood, and with his vicious and anxious eyes, it was really a hideous and terrifying feeling.

"Chief of Staff, I...... I'll deal with it for you right away, I'll ......"

The medical officer panicked and went to find the medical kit, but Luncy directly snatched a roll of gauze, wiped his nose and face indiscriminately, and pushed the door out with a roar.

Damn raider civilization adventuring fleet!

Isn't it good to die obediently?

Luncy is really angry, this battle is related to whether he can be promoted to the knighthood, and it is related to his future and destiny.

How could you be ambushed when you are so decent?

Luncy trotted all the way, and several times accidentally hit the wall of the corridor due to shaking, and finally reached the command bridge, but he had a lot of blood splattered on his body.

Inside the huge command bridge, there was really chaos.

All kinds of sirens, light alarms, loud shouts, panicked commanders......

Seeing this scene, countless thoughts welled up in Renxi's heart.

Surprised, disappointed, stunned, speechless?

He was well-organized, well-trained, and looked presentable, all of whom were known as elites, eager for military exploits and victories.

But when the actual combat is coming and the interstellar war starts, how can these 'training tops' be like rookies, and they are messing around?

Since the establishment of the interstellar combat force, there have been perfect response mechanisms and plans for various situations, and no matter what the situation is, these people will definitely have no problem implementing the regulations.

But now, the huge command bridge is as lively as the vegetable market.

Luncy even saw with his own eyes that the two groups of commanders in charge of navigation and those in charge of damage management were actually fighting in the air, and both sides seemed to be shirking their responsibilities and scolding each other frantically.

When is it all special, and are you still in the mood to quarrel?

Lunxi was so angry that he finally understood a truth, no matter how good the fleet was in the exercise and training, it was better to let the actual combat test and let the war fire temper, and after countless tests of blood and fire, it could be called elite.

It's like these rookies now, it's really infuriating!

Luncy covered his nose, strode to the command seat, and did not hesitate to press the whole ship's broadcast.

"Everyone listened to my order, immediately activated the 12th set of emergency plans, and each ship immediately carried out battle damage assessment and damage management to save itself, and at the same time searched for the enemy to launch a counterattack!"

"The communications department, immediately make every effort to ensure the smooth communication of the whole fleet!"

"The damage management department, immediately dispatch all personnel and auxiliary robots to repair the battleship!"

"Intelligence ......"

……

At the critical moment, Rency, who was the chief of staff of the fleet, stepped forward to stabilize the army's heart and turn the tide.

However, Luncy overestimated the protective power of their warships and underestimated the destructive power of the space minefields laid by Qin Tian.

In order to maximize the destruction of enemy ships, Qin Tian's space minelaying is intelligent, high-power, and high-damage ammunition.

The 21 Galan Empire starships that were advancing in unison were caught off guard by the explosion and killing range of countless ammunition, as if they were in a crater, scorched by ultra-high temperatures, shrouded by countless rays, and ravaged by various gravitational fields and strong magnetic fields.

The starships that are searching for each other, the first to suffer, of course, are those reconnaissance and sensing detection equipment.

They were frantically impacted in an instant, either by ablation and damage on the spot, or directly by the automatic protection mechanism was triggered, resulting in an instant shutdown and network disconnection into a state of self-protection.

The second thing that suffered heavy blows was, of course, the protective shields and hulls of the battleships.

Renxi, who is cautious by nature, did not forget to prepare for attack and defense while letting the fleet search move forward, but although the protective shield was opened, but in order to take care of the reconnaissance and detection equipment, the protective shield was not in the state of maximum protection value, and the space folding stealth defense was not activated, because in that case, the reconnaissance effect would be greatly reduced.

I never thought that such a 'low-level' protection state would have no problem dealing with general attacks, and it could withstand a meteorite impact, but in the super violent critical attack, under the detonation of countless high-energy ammunition, the energy shields of all warships were all broken, which directly caused the hull of the battleship to be exposed to a high-temperature, high-heat, high-radiation pulse attack environment.

Because of this, the battleships suffered from impact heat erosion, which made the battleships shake as if they were in the stormy waves, and wounds appeared on the surface of some battleships' hulls, a large amount of air leaked out, and countless radiation rays poured in.

Although these minor injuries were not enough to be fatal, the chaos of the damage management operations and the chaos of the command system of each warship added to the chaos, so that these wounds were not repaired in time, but became more and more serious in the continuous explosions of the frenzied and continuous space minefield.

This is like a huge ship sailing in the stormy waves, there are small holes in the bottom of the ship, obviously it will not be fatal, but if they are not repaired in time, as more and more sea water pours in, under the action of the impact of huge waves and sea pressure, the hole becomes bigger and bigger, and the problem becomes more and more serious.

And the 21 interstellar warships of the Sixth Fleet of the Garan Empire are even more tragic than sailing in the waves, because as they continue to sail forward, there are still a large number of high-energy weapons that continue to explode, energy pulses, death radiation, and high-temperature ablation......

The warships seemed to be trapped in purgatory on earth, and the enemy they wanted to chase and kill didn't even see Mao.

Rumble!

A compartment on the port side of the Bariel Star Destroyer suddenly exploded, dozens of tons of materials were suddenly destroyed, and brilliant fireballs were annihilated in the sea of fire, and this violent explosion immediately made the entire battleship shake violently as if a twelve-magnitude earthquake had occurred.

Bang!

Luncy was tragic again, he was shaken down hard, slammed into the command platform, and was face down again, and when he was helped up by the medical officer, he was already drenched in blood and red in blood......
