The starry sky is dark and deep.

Except near the stars, most of the starry sky is dark.

Two Tang Blade-class frigates quietly stalked in the dark starry sky.

Lu Baize's heart was very hesitant.

He received an order to go to war with the Simon Empire.

Because the two "Tang Blade" class frigates he led were closest to Jiaoluo Xing, the order fell on him first.

The order is simple, attack and destroy the starships of the Simon Empire.

The reason is that the Simon Empire's repeated use of interstellar railguns to bombard the territory of the Tang River Empire is a serious violation of international norms and a provocation to the sovereignty of the Tang River Empire......

Indeed, this is a blatant condemnation of the world. The Don Empire was not taken into account at all.

The Don Empire must fight back.

Otherwise, the face of the Don Empire would be gone.

Although it is said that the current Tang River Empire is indeed suffering from external worries and internal strife. However, a declaration of war is a must.

Fighting back is also a must.

Regardless of the final outcome, it is necessary to fight back.

Lu Baize is the first wave of counterattack.

"Captain, let's quietly go around the back of the Horned Stars and attack the target from behind." The chief of staff suggested.

"Nope." Lu Baize shook his head categorically.

"Why?"

"I just can't say no."

“……”

Lu Baize rejected the suggestion of his subordinates.

He didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Or rather, he didn't want to take any chances.

Now, he has only two lightest frigates in his hands, both of which are about four thousand meters long. However, the Burundian of the Simons had five frigates in their hands.

The length of any one of them exceeded that of the "Tang Blade" class. Among them, the largest one is more than 8,000 meters long.

Length, of course, is not the only criterion for measuring the comprehensive combat effectiveness of a starfighter.

However, the length of the starship is seriously related to the power of the railgun.

The power of the railgun is closely related to the length of the track.

If the length of the starship itself is insufficient, how can the length of the charged orbit be increased?

You know, this charged track must be straight and there must be no bending.

Sneak attack?

Have you thought about the consequences?

Even if the sneak attack is successful, at most it will be two warships that will destroy the Simons.

However, in the hands of the Simons, there were still three warships. If they fight back, with the only two corvettes he has, he is definitely no match for the Simons.

In other words, once a battle breaks out, he will definitely be more than lucky. No matter how you fight, you lose.

"Captain......" the chief of staff stopped talking.

"Say no more. So it was decided. Lu Baize shook his head.

He had made up his mind not to clash with Simon's warship.

He's far away from the other party, just watch.

Anyway, he is not afraid of military justice from above.

The Lu family has deep roots and lush branches in the starfleet of the Tang River Empire, and military law will not fall on him.

On the contrary, if he rashly attacked and killed himself, he would have died in vain.

Lu Baize would never do anything to die.

The chief of staff deeply regretted it, but he was helpless.

Lu Baize is afraid of death.

He simply didn't have the guts to strike.

Watching the Simon warships wreaking havoc, it's really not a good feeling in my heart!

It would be nice to change the commander.

"Report! Ground-based railgun is being charged! ”

"Location?"

"Longjing City No. 3 Silo."

"Really?"

Lu Baize frowned secretly.

A land-based railgun in Longjing City? Who's manipulating?

Could it be Liu Zhenbei?

Probably impossible, right?

Can this guy still operate a land-based railgun?

Longjing City has three sets of land-based railguns, which Lu Baize knows very well.

If all three sets of land-based railguns are put into combat condition, there is indeed a certain threat to the Simon frigates.

However, it is definitely not an easy task to control three railguns.

It requires a very professional team.

Requires a very powerful Naqoura Energy Boosted Charged Track.

The Tang-class frigates carried a total of five hundred crew members. Equipped with an array of thirty-six Nagura spars.

When the railgun is fired, at least thirty-six crew members are needed to infuse the Nagura Hedron Array with brain consciousness to stimulate Nagura energy and strengthen the charged orbit.

The Nagura Hedron Array is the most expensive part of the interstellar battleship, and it is often hundreds of billions of star coins. The total cost of the Tang Blade-class frigate is more than 300 billion star coins.

Obviously, it is impossible for Longjing City to come up with so much money to build a land-based railgun.

It can only be with the basic capabilities of a land-based railgun.

At most, it is equipped with an array of nine Nagura hedrons.

In the most rudimentary configuration, there may even be only four.

Relying on such a rudimentary land-based railgun, it is impossible to fundamentally kill and damage the battleship of the Simons.

At best, it's just to scare the Simons and force them to retreat.

"Report! Qin Shuying asked for a call. ”

"Take it."

Lu Baize frowned again.

Qin Shuying's request for communication at this time is definitely not a good thing.

Although he does like Qin Shuying very much, he really wants to take her for himself. However, there was absolutely no way he could joke with his life.

If Qin Shuying wanted him to provide fire support, he would not hesitate to refuse.

In short, he would never have exchanged fire with Simon's warships.

"Captain Marine." Qin Shuying's voice came flatly.

"Section Chief Qin, don't come unharmed." Lu Baize made no secret of his coldness.

At critical moments, he must not be entangled.

He must not give Qin Shuying a chance to plead.

No matter what Qin Shuying begged for, he would never be able to agree to the other party. No matter how beautiful a woman is, her life is not as important as her own life!

"Captain Lu, are you preparing to fight the Simons?"

"Of course...... No! ”

"I thought that the captain of the land returned with the frigate to expel the Simon starship and protect the safety of the Horned Star?"

"I'm sorry. You are mistaken. ”

"Simon's use of interstellar railguns repeatedly bombarded Longjing City, causing huge losses to Longjing City. The casualties alone are close to five million. They are in grave violation of international conventions. This is a serious war crime. Captain Marine, as the Starfleet commander of the Tang River Empire, you have the responsibility and obligation to launch a counterattack against the Simons......"

"I'm sorry, I didn't receive such an order!"

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Lu Baize was determined.

Joke! Who wants to listen to your tirade?

The Simon people bombarded Jiaoluo Xing, which was the capital city of Longjing, which was not an important strategic location at all.

In the upper echelons of the Tang River Empire, it is estimated that no one knows the name of Jiaoluo Xing. Not to mention Longjing City. Not many people even know the name Mantis Star Field. There is only one at most out of ten. Of the more than three hundred patriarchs, none of them were born in the Mantis Star Domain. The death of Long Jingcheng and the death of Jiaoluo Xing, almost no one cared.

The order that asked him to fight back was the Generalissimo's Mansion from the Praying Mantis Star Domain.

Lu Baize didn't take this so-called Generalissimo Mansion in his eyes at all.

He can do what he wants.

Behind him is the Lu family!

"Then what are you doing in the far orbit of the planet?"

"We're passing through."

"In that case, Captain Lu, please go back the way you came."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm afraid the land-based railgun will injure you by mistake."

"You!"

Lu Baize felt that something was wrong.
