Chapter 1268: The Beginning of the Counterattack
The Magren Empire, the first base of the expeditionary force.
The huge base occupies a space of millions of kilometers, in addition to the war fortress with a diameter of more than 10,000 kilometers, as the core center of the base, the number of warships and soldiers has reached an astronomical number.
Just imagine, a formation has 100 warships, usually a seventh-level civilization expeditionary force base, there will be about a thousand fleets, each fleet has 100 squadrons, 100 squadrons below the squadron, and 50 formations below the squadron, what an astonishing statistic?
Yes!
In this country comparable to the Lyra Empire, one of the expeditionary force bases has more than 40 billion warships, and the number of warships and the number of soldiers is about 1:500, what is the number of soldiers in the base?
Even if some people are out on a mission, the number of people and ships left in the base is still a staggering number.
Tens of thousands of warships are stationed next to the wormhole, and these people belong to the internal security guards, and they are not only on duty, and are only responsible for inspecting the ships that enter the base.
Suddenly, an ordinary merchant ship jumps out of the wormhole.
The wormhole where the base is located is not allowed to enter by unofficial ships, and as soon as the merchant ships appeared, it aroused the vigilance of the internal security forces.
Hula.
A large number of warships turned their guns, countless soldiers focused their attention, and with the sound of shouting, the merchant ships immediately turned off their engines.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of people came out of it one after another, and when they saw these people, the internal security team breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Excellency, Formation Commander, ...... Why are there so many people left? A small leader of the internal security team asked with some surprise.
"Attacked during the mission, the formation was destroyed by the enemy, alas, ......"
The face of the formation leader was extremely bitter, and he said it briefly, it was nothing more than an attack on the mission, the fleet was destroyed, and the tens of thousands of people in the entire formation were killed to only a little bit, and finally drove the only one, extremely badly damaged battleship, and the battleship was overwhelmed and disintegrated halfway, and only then did he have a chance to come back when he found a merchant ship.
There are hundreds of millions of formations in the entire base, and the time for carrying out tasks and repairing is combined, even if every formation performs a mission once every five years on average, more than 200,000 formations come back every day.
Most of the formations were swept away, and some of them successfully completed their tasks and returned with full loads, but there were also many formations that were seriously damaged or even completely annihilated.
There are all kinds of situations, and there are many such heavy losses every day, and who cares?
Subsequently, the merchant ship stayed behind for inspection, and the formation leader with the space box went to the resource reserve center to take out the space box for inspection.
Of course, instead of gaining anything, this mission has suffered heavy losses, and of course there are no resources in the space box.
This is the rule of the expeditionary force, and the process must be followed.
Due to the serious damage to the formation, after completing the regular process, there is one more link, that is, to report the cause of battle damage to the upper peak.
The direct supervisor of the formation leader is naturally the squad leader, and soon this formation leader arrived at the squad leader's office.
"Say it."
It is not surprising that this kind of battle damage occurs every day, and the squad leader said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what the hell is going on, who is the opponent." โ
"There is an important situation to report to the lowly position."
"Say."
"This matter is very confidential and must be reported directly to His Excellency the Commander."
"Huh?"
The squad leader was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses: Originally, he was in a bad mood because of the heavy losses of the formation under his command, but now this idea is gone, and it is very likely that the formation has obtained very important and confidential information.
In this way, it will be a great credit if you don't do it, and you can get rid of it.
The situation that had to be reported directly to the commander was naturally extremely confidential information, and the squad leader did not dare to ask more: "I understand, I will report to the captain of the fleet and ask His Excellency the commander to make an appointment." โ
"Thank you, Captain."
"Slovit, you've been under me for so many years, as long as you remember what I did to you, don't forget me if you have the chance."
Obviously, this squad leader saw hope, and he decided that the classified information brought back by this squadron leader was likely to symbolize great merit.
Don't get closer at this time, unless he's a fool.
It has to be said that the military is very efficient, at least when some major information appears, and the commander's instructions are issued in just ten minutes.
The few hundred remaining members of the formation went their separate ways, and the formation leader, along with two deputies, soon appeared outside the commander's office.
"The Commander has only seen you alone." The commander's secretary stared at the formation leader.
"Report to the sir, the three of us each have a part of this information, so we must also face His Excellency the Commander." The formation leader said respectfully.
"That's ......"
The secretary nodded and said, "Let's go in." โ
As soon as the three of them walked into the office, the door immediately closed, and at the same time, a layer of energy shield shrouded the entire office inside.
The commander's expression was serious, he obviously didn't want to do this, there was any possibility of leakage of major information: "Formation leader, what is the information you brought back?" โ
"The information brought back by the lowly duty is ......"
A smile appeared on the corner of the formation leader's mouth, and his voice was as warm as a spring breeze: "Kill you." โ
Kill!
The formation leader and his two deputies launched at the same time, and a transparent shield shrouded the office, and two laws of time erupted.
That's right, these three people are pretending to be Qin Yan, Nina, and Andy Rute!
The dimensional space guarantees that there will be no energy leakage and will not be discovered by outsiders, and the law of time released by Nina and Andy Rut is enough to make this base commander, who is not as strong as any of them, become vulnerable.
The whole process of the plan was that Qin Yan led the members of the No. 51 formation to wait for the expeditionary force of the Mageran Empire to pass by in a wormhole not far from the base.
Of course, they can only stick to one of the wormholes, and those formations that come and go are likely to jump back to the base from the other wormholes.
But!
More than 200,000 formations return to the base every day, and just one is enough, isn't it?
They destroyed the formation and obtained the identity tokens of the members of the formation, allowing the behemoth to transform them into some members of the formation, and unknowingly blended in.
In the face of absolute strength, all resistance is meaningless.
The commander himself, together with a master of the early stage of the Seven Heavens who was hidden in the shadows and sent by the family of this commander with a deep background, as his deputy, was killed by Qin Yan, Nina, and Andy Lute together, but the powerful spatial tearing force, although it did not spread to the outside of the office, all the equipment in the office was destroyed, which was also unavoidable.
With a move, a talisman flew out of the commander's corpse, and at the same time, Qin Yan's appearance turned into the commander's appearance out of thin air.
"No one is allowed to come in, and if there is movement on my side, everyone will gather together and kill people." Qin Yan said with a smile.
"Don't worry." Andy Rutt laughed.
"Gone."
Leaving Nina and Andy Rute in the office, where all kinds of equipment were turned into powder, and the walls were unscathed, Qin Yan opened the door and walked out.
The commander's secretary was outside the office, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he came out: "Commander, those three ......"
"They have reported some important information, and they are not allowed to enter for the time being, and no one, including you, is not allowed to leave, and I am going to prove it."
"Understood, the lowly will always be outside."
"Hmm."
Qin Yan, who was pretending to be a commander, nodded, turned around and walked into the distance, and appeared at the resource reserve center after a whileโthis was his first stop.
To put it bluntly, the resource reserve center is a place where the expeditionary force has not developed the various resources obtained from the universe in the mission: after the team on the mission returns, it will come here to complete the process, and the obtained resources will be classified and sealed in the warehouse, and will be transported to the imperial capital every once in a while.
Since these resources will be recorded, and those teams that perform tasks will also distribute the corresponding combat merits, it is impossible to falsify the number.
In addition, the records here will be synchronized to the central database in real time.
If it was really the commander of the base, he wouldn't dare to do anything, but Qin Yan was different, he didn't plan to stay here all the time.
With that identity token, as the leader of the base, he doesn't even need any reason to directly enter the resource reserve warehouse.
Conventional energy crystals?
All kinds of metals?
A variety of non-metallic minerals?
Litter!
If he took these things, he would only take up space, and he didn't care about regular resources at all, so he went straight inside, straight to the strategic resource pool.
There are only two things he targets: Grey Crystals and Leyline Origin Spirits, and everything else is garbage.
It's just that the chances of these two things appearing are not much, and every time the base transports resources back to the imperial capital, the time between them is not too long, so the amount of inventory is relatively limited.
Of course, for a huge seventh-level civilization, there is not much inventory here, but for Qin Yan, the quantity is definitely not small.
There are nearly ten tons of gray crystals, and there are more than 100,000 units of leyline source spirits, which is already a good harvest.
Stuff these strategic-level resources into his own space box, and take all the space boxes allocated by the empire by the way: he must prepare more space boxes to store things to prepare for uninterrupted looting in the future, otherwise it will be troublesome if there is no place to put things.
After leaving the resource reserve, Qin Yan went to the second target, which was the place where the Earth Leyline Source Spirit Instrument was placed.
But he knew they wouldn't be able to use it.
Infiltrating the base only requires the identity order and appearance to match, but after entering this instrument, the instrument connected to the military database will conduct deeper inspections, such as blood samples, brain waves, etc., these inspections are impossible to avoid, and once the inspection does not match, it is impossible to use the instrument to improve.
It's just that......
His purpose was not to improve his strength in the first place.
