Through the identity tokens of the three people, the formation leader recognized Qin Yan's identity as the captain of the fleet, but he didn't see the overwhelming fleet.

Of course, Qin Yan, who is well-known in the second base, is very strange to him.

Because when Qin Yan joined the expeditionary force, his formation had just left the base to carry out the mission, and he had no hearing of Qin Yan's great achievements.

In his opinion, Qin Yan should be the newly promoted captain of the fleet, and he thought that Qin Yan must have come with a fleet of tens of thousands of warships, but he didn't see a single battleship, only three people—much less than the number of his formation.

"My people are gone." Qin Yan smiled.

"Sir, I beg your pardon for being blunt."

The formation leader couldn't help frowning again and said, "If there were only us as people, I'm afraid it would be impossible to leave at all." The last message sent back before the drone was destroyed showed that the other side had a large number of five-star warships, at least a squadron of formations. According to the comparison of the enemy's strength last time, the people sent by the enemy this time must be stronger, so I believe that there are more than ten Tianwu Sixfold Heavenly powerhouses on the other side, so ...... He thought it would be better to ask for help from the base. ”

"You don't think I can take you back, do you?" Qin Yan asked with a smile.

"Don't dare to be lowly, it's just a matter of facts." The formation commander hurriedly answered.

"So...... I can tell you that I don't know the strength of the enemy fleet, but the number of enemy masters is far more than you think. ”

"You mean ......"

"You shouldn't know that among the men and horses sent by the enemy last time, there was a Heavenly Martial Seven Heavenly Powerhouse, and now there are three people at this number."

"Ahh

Since the drone sent was destroyed as soon as it approached, there was no way to detect accurate information, so what the formation leader said was just speculation.

Obviously, Qin Yan's words frightened him.

What kind of existence does the Heavenly Martial Seven Heavens have?

In the entire second base of the expeditionary force, only the commander is the Heavenly Martial Sevenfold Heaven - this damn star system, although there are some energy crystals, but such a little thing is definitely not worth the other party's use of such amazing combat power, right? This captain must be lying!

But...... What's the point of him lying?

"Sir......

"Don't say anything, I'll take over your team now, okay?"

"Yes!"

"See?"

After speaking, Qin Yan opened the space box and took out a gray spar that was only the size of a mung bean: "Put this into the flagship engine." ”

Is this - Gray Crystal?

The formation leader recognized Gray Crystal at a glance, first shocked, and then opened his mouth in a blink of an eye and said: "Sir, such a little Gray Crystal can't drive the engine at all, even if it is increased tenfold, it is not enough to launch a full-load attack of the main gun...... What's the use of putting this in the engine? ”

"Really?"

When he first took out the gray crystal, Qin Yan had been shrinking the rules of dimensional space to a very small extent, covering the surface of the gray crystal and isolating it from the outside space.

As the two words came out of his mouth, the dimensional space covering the surface of the gray crystal disappeared, and then a divine scene appeared.

The gray crystal, which was only the size of a mung bean, seemed to have been injected with hormones, and it expanded at an incredible speed, instantly becoming half a meter in diameter.

That's right!

This is the gray crystals obtained from the inside of the star, and the pressure in the inner core of the star is frighteningly high, and the gray crystals that exist in a special form have reached an incredible degree of density. When it reached the normal pressure space outside, the high pressure outside disappeared, and its density quickly returned to the usual level, and its volume increased by tens of thousands of times.

"This ...... This ......" the formation leader was dumbfounded.

"It should be enough now, right?"

"Don't dare!"

The formation leader came back to his senses for a while, and said in a deep voice: "In the laws of the empire, Gray Crystal is listed as a prohibited strategic resource, and it can only be used with the permission of a big man above the rank of general, otherwise...... The lowly would rather ask the base for help than use the gray crystal without permission. ”

"The general will not be subject to foreign military orders, and now I am the supreme commander here, there is only one thing you have to do, that is, to take my orders unconditionally, if I am blamed from above, I will naturally bear it!"

"Sir......

"Disobey military orders and die!"

"Yes!"

Seeing the cold glint flashing in Qin Yan's eyes, the formation leader finally took such a large piece and used the gray crystal that was enough for him to die a hundred times without authorization, and rushed towards the direction of the engine room.

This is a regular formation, and according to the formation of the regular formation, only one five-star battleship is the flagship, so in this formation, only this flagship can use Gray Crystal.

Seeing the formation leader leave with Gray Crystal, Nina frowned and said, "Yan, do you plan to equip the five-star battleship with Gray Crystal and confront the enemy head-on?" ”

"Of course not."

Qin Yan showed a smile and said, "Excluding the one that was destroyed by the hunter group halfway, as well as the one that was lost just after jumping into this star system, and the battleship that Eller and the others drove away, we only have seven five-star warships in our hands now, plus one of this formation...... This little power is only a dead end against the enemy. What's more, they also have gray crystals in their hands, and they may even have been assembled on battleships. ”

"And you still let him equip Grey Crystal?" Nina was even more confused.

"Nina, if you are chased and killed by the three people on the other side, are you absolutely sure that you will escape?" Qin Yan asked an inexplicable question.

"Of course."

Nina nodded without hesitation and said, "Those three are only in the early stage of the Seventh Heaven, and their strength is on par with mine, if I want to escape, they will not be able to intercept me-why are you asking this?" ”

"I'll find out soon."

"Report sir! Gray Crystal has been loaded into the flagship engine! "The formation leader ran over.

"Come with me with all your men."

"Yes!"

Soon, nearly 100,000 soldiers with uneven strength, and the vast majority of them were below the Tianwu level, and after receiving the order, they came out one after another from the hundreds of battleships in the entire formation: because the martial artists below the Tianwu rank were still dependent on the air, many people were still wearing the kind of spacesuits that were similar to a layer of light film covering their bodies.

Although the strength of these people is not very good, as an expeditionary force, they are very strict in military discipline, and 100,000 people are lined up in a neat line, and their eyes fall on the formation leader.

"Brothers, this is Captain Qin Yan sent by the base, and now our formation is taken over by His Excellency the Captain of the Fleet." The formation captain said.

"Yes! Humble duty is always on standby! "The voices of 100,000 people are unanimous.

"No need to be on standby."

Qin Yan opened a space box, and soon a five-star battleship appeared in the void, he pointed to the battleship and said, "There is only one thing you have to do next, and that is to stay in this battleship - you can enter it now." ”

Everyone thought that the captain of the formation was going to give a lecture or something, such as encouraging everyone to increase morale when the formation was in a difficult situation.

But......

"Your Excellency, Captain, hand over all your command of the original flagship to Chief Nina."

"Yes!"

"Nina."

After the commander finished handing over, Qin Yan walked up to Nina with an extremely solemn face: "I want you to do one thing, control the entire formation through the flagship and launch an attack on the enemy near the wormhole." However, you must not be forced to evacuate immediately after a sudden attack, and I will hand over to you five more five-star warships, all of which are equipped with gray crystals and attack with the strongest firepower. In this way, the enemy will definitely fight back, and at this time you will abandon the ship and flee, and you will not fall in love with the battle. Take the other person in a circle, and then turn back after ten minutes. ”

"What do you mean......"

Hearing Qin Yan say this, Nina finally understood and said happily: "I understand!" ”

"Sir! Wouldn't that make all the energy crystals on the transport ship gone? Even the entire fleet is gone, this ...... How does this work? ”

"I said, now this formation is taken over by me, all you have to do is obey the order!"

"But...... That's the trophy of our formation......"

"I promise to pay you back ten times the battle exploits you have lost!"

“……”

Obviously, this is because the formation leader didn't believe Qin Yan's words very much, and he couldn't understand even more, why did this newly promoted formation captain sacrifice so many resources - is he crazy?

The edge of the galaxy, around the wormhole.

Tens of thousands of warships were densely packed, enclosing the entire wormhole, and this void had been filled with battleships, impermeable.

Among these warships, there are as many as a thousand five-star warships alone, and it is simply difficult to break through such a huge fleet and enter the wormhole.

It's just that, except for the battleships on the periphery that are on alert, the rest of the warships have adjusted their engines to sleep: in this state, not only can they be put into battle at any time, but also before the battle, they will not be consumed in vain due to the operation of high power.

Suddenly!

The originally quiet void flashed with overwhelming strong light, and the snow-bright brilliance turned the void into a dazzling one, among which there were more than a dozen beams of light with a diameter of more than ten meters, which contained the power of freezing time and shattering space, which was the power that could easily destroy thousands of planets.

The massive fleet that was attacked suddenly, all the battleships immediately entered the combat state, but because the attackers were so powerful, many battleships on the periphery were destroyed in an instant.

In turn, the battleships guarding the wormhole in the corresponding direction of attack reacted quickly, and a greater number of beams tore through the sky.

"General, our side was attacked by a sneak attack, and the other party activated the Gray Crystal Time and Space Cannon, and our side lost a large number of warships!"

"Don't move!"

Among the enemy's flagships, a man with a solemn face shouted in a deep voice: "Send ten battleships equipped with gray crystals to block the attack, and the other battleships will stick to their positions, and they will not be allowed to go out without my orders." ”

"Yes!"

"Tell the general that the enemy fleet will begin to flee after a single blow."

"Just know...... Turning the tiger away from the mountain? ”

The corner of the man's mouth provoked a mocking sneer, and he said in a dark voice, "I'm not stupid enough to that extent. ”

"General, many enemy transport ships have been destroyed, and a large number of energy crystals have been found to be leaking." Another battle report came quickly.

"Huh?"

"The enemy's flagship has been damaged, and a top master has come out of it and has destroyed many of our warships!"

Hearing this report, the man's face became solemn: he initially thought that the other party was diverting the tiger from the mountain, but the other party's transport ship was carrying a large amount of energy crystals, if the other party was diverting the tiger from the mountain, he would definitely take those energy crystals away, instead of staying in the transport ship and waiting to be destroyed or taken away.

What's more, in the cat-and-mouse scene inside the star before, he found that the other party had a top master of the Heavenly Martial Seven Heavens.

So......

If you use bait to divert the tiger from the mountain, how can you let the strongest master send him to death, and exchange such a noble life for the survival of low-level soldiers?

Either the tiger is separated from the mountain, or the other party is trying to break through - in the huge star system, it is more difficult to find a few people than to find a needle in a haystack, but the other party is now taking the initiative to send it to the door, and this opportunity to eliminate the other party can be missed?

"Damn it!"

The man's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Entangle him at all costs, all the battleships equipped with gray crystals are dispatched, and all the masters come with me!" ”
