============================

When Leah ran back to her room, Asure caught up with her, calling her in an anxious tone that had never been more anxious: "Your Excellency, Captain! Your Excellency, please listen to me......"

The girl ignored it and went into the room on her own, always with her back to him. At this time, someone with good things had already probed his brain to see what was going on, and Ashurai could only follow Leah into the room and close the door.

"Your Excellency, Captain...... I'm sorry, I ......" The black-haired man was not good at words, and he didn't know how to deal with it at this time.

Leah was silent for a moment, then sighed loudly, turned around, and looked helpless: "What did I just say?" Just call me by name! Don't call me Your Excellency Captain anymore. Because it will feel very alien to Asura. ”

"Captain...... No! Lily ...... Leah, I'm so sorry! I will misunderstand your words. Asurai was so restrained that he even lowered his voice, "But, I've always called you that, why did you suddenly ......?"

The girl couldn't bear to see the black-haired man's appearance, so she softened her tone: "Because...... I still want to be friends with Asheri more than the cold relationship of command and obedience. We've known each other for five years, and I'm touched by how much you've been protecting me. But I prefer to communicate with you as a friend, because you are a very important partner to me, and partners are two-sided, so I also want to do something for you, instead of always letting you protect me! ”

Ashurai looked at the girl in front of him a little blankly, and a warmth welled up in his heart, which he had never experienced. Although everyone cares about each other in the Phantom family, for Asura, protecting the daughter of his former benefactor has become almost all of his life, and it is the meaning of the survival of others. So no matter what, his attention is focused on this matter and he never gets distracted. But what is this feeling of warmth now? Asure didn't quite understand, but it felt really good.

So Ashulei showed a faint smile, and his glass-like red pupils softened and shimmered with a warm light.

Lia had never seen Asure laugh before, this was the first time, it turned out that this silent and cold man could smile so beautifully, like a glacier melted by the sun, with the smell of spring. So she also stretched her expression, and her voice was smiling: "Then you agree?" From now on, we are friends, and Asure has to tell me if he has any difficulties! ”

"Okay." Even though it was a short answer, Leah was happy. As for why she was so happy, Lia didn't think about it, and she wouldn't think about it. Although this girl is calm and decisive on the battlefield, she is actually quite slow in terms of emotion, and this dullness has a fight with Asura, so it is no wonder that her friends are anxious for the two of them. The two parties are not angry, what can the partners do?

But at this moment, maybe the wishes of the partners can be fulfilled.

========================

Easy times were always short-lived, and after a few days of intense preparation, the news of the "Dragon's Fury" fleet was finally coming to Iolite.

Cindil led the Fifth and Third Fleets in a defensive formation to defend the iolite planet. The Nightblade legion, led by Leah, quickly moved in the direction of the enemy's logistics fleet, preparing to cut off the enemy's rear supplies.

As they went, they saw the frightening number of ships in the Dragon's Fury, and the dense red dots almost covered the entire radar. Their shells all bear the emblem of the Red Fire-breathing Dragon, which is the same symbol that appears on the flag of the Drekor Empire.

"I'm X! Is the Dog Emperor really planning to end the alliance this time? The bearded Captain Parr on the screen cursed a swear word. The captains of the Nightblade seemed to be shocked by the terrifying position of the enemy, and their faces showed a hint of nervousness.

"We have to believe in ourselves, we have to believe in our commanders, and as long as we have the belief that we will win, we will never lose." Leah's calm voice flowed from the megaphone, and there was not a hint of fear in her tone. All the Nightblade soldiers who heard these words seemed to have a surge of strength from the bottom of their hearts. This young girl can be so determined, how can they back down?

The captains gave Leah a look of admiration and trust, and nodded almost at the same time.

The aircraft carrier-class ship "Morrowind" that Cindil rode on was the largest in the Alliance Army, with a moon-white streamlined shell, which could accommodate a total of 2,000 crew members and 520 fighters.

At this time, the red-haired commander sat in the captain's chair, and the signal corps in front of him quickly passed the news that the "Wrath of the Burning Dragon" was getting closer and closer.

Looking at the analysis data of the enemy forces on the screen in front of him, the commander stood up and issued the first command: "All escort ships, turn on the phase point defense system (1)!" ”

With the first wave of artillery fire from the "Rage of the Dragon" fleet, the battle for iolite officially began.

Torpedoes, lasers, artillery fire, and a flurry of explosive fires filled the entire iolite area in an instant, and even the Nightblade Legion ships far from the battlefield could feel the terrifying fluctuations, and all the screens were shaking. On the radar, blue and red dots crisscross the radar, and these generalized ships are constantly disappearing.

Leah's attention was not on the frontal battlefield - they were approaching the enemy's logistics fleet.

The battleship slowed down and moved cautiously. When the logistics fleet appeared in front of her, Lia found that the enemy had indeed assigned more escorts and warships to protect the turtle-like ships, numbering a total of 22.

"Oh, there are more guards, and it doesn't look easy to deal with." Although Ai Ze said this, his tone was very relaxed, it seemed that he had thought that the emperor would send more ships.

Leah had a vague sense that something wasn't right, but she couldn't tell. At this time, the enemy forces gradually entered the firing range, and the torpedoes of the battleship had already locked the enemy escort ship as a target. Unaware, the enemy ship continued to move forward.

Leah stared at the weapon's targeting system, which was flashing red, ready to give the order to attack.

In an instant, the gravitational wave radar issued an alarm!

The signal soldier's face changed greatly, and his voice trembled a little: "Captain!!" Gravitational Wave Radar Detects 12 Unidentified Ships Behind!! ”

Leah was taken aback, but quickly understood what was happening - the 12 ships were also in stealth mode!

Before they could give the order, the Nightblade Legion was already under artillery fire from the rear!

The entire Nightblade Legion was forced to appear, and three ships began to emit flames, which was very dangerous. The Phantom was also hit by cannon fire, and the impact made the entire battleship tremble, and the screen and lights flickered. Ria was almost unsteady on her feet, but Asure held her up so that she was not shaken by the waves.

"45% of the AT shield remains!" The signal soldier nervously reported. The 12 enemy ships had switched out of invisibility and revealed their true colors - one of them, a huge crimson ship that was heading at full speed towards the Phantom Light, none other than Frem Dazere's carrier-class flagship, the Rosaceutic!

"Damn! Was that information deliberately released by the emperor?! Edel stared at the huge ship on the screen with a stern expression, "They've worked out optical camouflage and gravitational-wave radar!" ”

"How is that possible!? How could they have figured it out so quickly!? Eze could hardly believe it, but the facts in front of him had proved Eder's guess.

Leah frowned and quickly issued an order to the Nightblade Legion: "Evacuate at full speed!" The enemy's strength is too strong to be touched! Now that we can't reach our goal, we have to stay out of the enemy's attack range as much as possible!! ”

"His grandma's!! Daizel, that old thing, is amazing! Captain Redbeard spat out.

Just as the Nightblade Legion turned to the right at full speed and was about to evacuate, all the enemy ships took turns firing at them, and in an instant, 3 battleships caught fire and exploded!

"Turn on the Enhanced Impulse Thruster! Instantly replenish the energy of the AT shield! "Seeing the enemy ships led by the Rose Cross sweeping like a dust storm in the desert, Ria felt very bad.

In order to be able to move quickly in stealth and quickly surprise the enemy, all ships are equipped with Enhanced Pulse Thrusters, which can increase the defensive energy of the AT shield with a large acceleration in an instant. This proved to be a wise decision, and in a situation where the weapons and equipment were inferior to the enemy's forces, it was able to help the Nightblade get out of the battlefield quickly.

The pulse thruster emitted a pale blue firelight, and the Nightblade ship group quickly ejected under the huge thrust, and instantly distanced itself from the emperor.

The Rose Cross reacted quickly - more than 100 crimson starfighters were released in an instant, chasing the Nightblade at full speed! They were much faster than the battleships, and the dense group of fighters fired wildly at the Nightblade, and under such a high frequency of attacks, 2 more battleships were destroyed!

'Leah!' 'Shadow' is all set! Request to attack! Jasmine's anxious face appeared on the video, she was already sitting in the fighter plane, her hands tightly gripping the joystick.

Riya quickly analyzed the shape in front of her, and then issued an order: "The 'Shadow' troops attack!" Minimize the damage of enemy fighter groups to our ships and cover the retreat of ship groups! ”

'Yes!' Shadow' all pilots, let's go!! Jasmine pushed the joystick hard, and the video disappeared from the screen. The radar on the side showed that all 110 fighters of the Shadow Force were dispatched and flew towards the enemy fighter group behind them. In an instant, the artillery and missiles of both sides weaved a net of heaven and earth, and as long as the pilot was careless, the plane would be destroyed and people would die!

Ezer stared nervously at the list of pilots on the screen, with Jasmine's avatar and heart rate displayed on it. Azer saw that her heart rate fluctuated quickly, and although she was a mercenary of the battle race Sulid, she would still be nervous in this situation.

And when the heart rate of a member in the list changes to a red horizontal line, it means that this person has been sacrificed.

As the red color gradually increased, Ezer's heart seemed to be suspended, sweat flowed from his forehead, and he muttered, "Violent woman...... You're going to have to come back alive, my Sherry Taylor limited album hasn't been given to you yet......"

Jasmine piloted the fighter jet to shuttle nimbly through the skynet of electric artillery fire, and she found that the reaction of one enemy fighter was like a lightning bolt in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a few circuits had shot down countless Phantom fighters. She immediately understood that the pilot in this fighter plane must be the pilot known as "Thor" in the "Silver Lightning", the terror maintainer with a record of 0 downed. Jasmine concentrated her spirit, operated quickly with both hands, and after a few rolls and dodges, shot down 5 enemy fighters.

Suddenly, an unknown communication signal was received on the screen, and Jasmine hesitated for a moment to connect, and a man's face appeared on the screen.

Jasmine froze instantly.

The man froze, too.

To their shock, there were faces on the other end of the video that were both very familiar to each of them!

"Jasmine Amir?! How could it be you!? "The man had short silver trivial hair and light brown skin, which was clearly characteristic of the Shalids. He has a pair of arrogant and sharp ice blue eyes, although he is a little surprised at this time, but he still can't hide his unruly character.

Jasmine opened her mouth, her voice a little hoarse: "Reed Mukhta...... You're the Thor of the Silver Lightning? ”

The man quickly regained his composure, he frowned and looked at the bright face of the woman in the video, as if he was a little disdainful: "I didn't expect you to still help the rebels." But it doesn't matter anymore. ”

He paused, and then uttered a succinct but powerful declaration: "You will die here!" ”

The crimson fighter jet came straight at Jasmine.

(1) Phase point defense system: independently developed by the alliance army, it is an interception system that can automatically attack surrounding targets, including torpedoes, missiles and even fighters, and the focus is that it can be automatically intercepted in the attack state, so it can cause double damage to the target.
