The Third Fleet, which has been based in the Sea Lion Star Domain and is trying to counterattack, has always been in a highly tense state of combat readiness, and during the fleet recuperation period after this kind of big war, some fleets in the Third Fleet that are in good condition will choose to disperse and attack to clean up some scattered Zerg settlements.

The former Third Fleet command center on the Lat administrative satellite has also been turned into a forward operating base, which is used for temporary rest and recuperation of fleets returning from the combat area.

Battleships docked in the spaceport of the command center, and the navigation channel was also coming and going, and there was an endless stream of fleets, and there were constantly fleets entering the port, and similarly, there were not a few fleets leaving the port to fight.

On the tarmac of the spaceport, the warships were neatly arranged according to their own formations, and among them, there was a fleet that stood out in particular.

Although the ships used by the entire fleet were still the standard ships of the Alliance, the livery was changed to a thicker black instead of the dark gray of the Alliance standard, and each ship was painted with a conspicuous gold star.

This golden star emblem was just proposed by the Third Fleet, and based on the number of battles fought by each ship, a battleship can be sprayed with one of these star emblems on its hull every time it survives a battle. And the more people who have this kind of star emblem, the more times they participate in battles, and the combat experience is a direct reflection of the actual combat capability of this battleship.

Due to the special definition of this forward base, a golden star emblem like this can already be said to be the standard configuration of warships moored here in another sense.

But the fleet in front of him was clearly different from the others, that is, the number of star emblems on each battleship had reached a terrifying level. The average number of Star Emblems owned by the Third Fleet is seven, and the number of Star Emblems possessed by most of the warships of this fleet has exceeded twenty, and the peak has even approached thirty.

You must know that this fierce battle against the Zerg is not only a test of fleet tactics or warship weapons, but also a great drain on the energy of the combatants themselves, and a battle they carry out can last for several days, or even as long as a week, which is undoubtedly a great consumption of all aspects of the fleet.

Therefore, after every battle, each fleet needs to take a rest for at least half a month to sum up combat experience, maintain fleet equipment, and adjust the mentality of combat personnel. And the number of star emblems that this fleet has really shows that they are obviously not following this default combat process.

Of course, the fact that this amount can be accumulated in such a short period of time not only shows that its combat frequency is far higher than that of its peers, but also reflects that the damage of this fleet has been suppressed to a minimum, after all, destroyed warships cannot continue to accumulate star emblems.

Therefore, the pair has far surpassed similar fleets in terms of both fighting will and combat tactics. That's why they're approved to dress independently. And the commander of this fleet is named Cowan Hodleyne, an elite commander who graduated from the First Military Academy of the Alliance.

This was originally subordinate to the Sixth Fleet, and after the transfer of the Sixth Fleet, it was temporarily incorporated into the Third Fleet as a supplementary combat force, and after Ye Su was transferred, the original Ye Su Division, which had lost its commander, also joined this fleet, and the name of the fleet was changed to the Special Service Detachment of the Third Fleet.

This formidable fleet, which was outside the formal structure of the Third Fleet, began to take shape.

―――――――――――――――

"It's really dangerous this time! I didn't expect to encounter a Zerg settlement of that size! A fleet commander couldn't help but sigh.

"Anyway, you're bringing the big army back safely! That's enough, and that kind of scale is estimated that only Lieutenant Colonel Cowen's fleet can handle it! The other commander immediately answered.

"Yes! Aside from the large-scale operations, if you want to make more difficult bones, only the Cowan fleet can do it! The third chimed in.

The commanders of several fleets discussed the situation of their respective fleets during this outing, and walked to the recreation club of the senior officers.

Entering the club, except for the service staff, it was empty, and there was basically no other sound except for the melodious background music that was playing all the time.

"Luck! Is this the legendary charter? One of them sighed.

"What a charter, it's just that no one is here now!" Another immediately reminded. It was early morning local time, and although the club was open 24 hours a day, the senior officers who were the patrons always had to have a normal routine, and almost no one would come here to entertain at this time of the morning.

And since these people had just been withdrawn from the battlefield and had already gained enough rest on the way back, the first thing they did when they returned to the base was to come here to have fun and relax their tense nerves.

However, when they went deeper into the club, they found that they were not the only customers here. In front of the bar of the club's bar, an officer was lying drunk on the bar, holding an unfinished bottle of high-strength vodka, and in front of him, five or six empty bottles of that kind of liquor lay out horizontally.

Even though today's human beings have evolved and their ability to resist alcohol has been greatly enhanced, is this number a bit too much? It was a "forbidden weapon" that could be used as an incendiary bottle in your hand.

"It's ...... Lieutenant Colonel Cowan? Several people approached, and finally saw the face of this heroic colleague, and they were shocked again. I didn't expect this person to have such a side.

"When did he come back?" Some people are curious, but these colleagues have just come back, and where can they find out the situation.

However, they don't know, but it's not that no one knows, like the bartender on duty at the bar. So, several people turned their eyes to this one.

"Lieutenant Colonel Cowan came back last night, and as soon as he came, he started drinking, and he got drunk as he drank!" The bartender replied immediately.

"Then you don't look at his situation, drink so much strong wine, aren't you afraid that something will happen to him?" One of the commanders complained.

"Don't get me wrong, sir, here's the thing! It's not the first time Lieutenant Colonel Cowan has drunk like this, every time he comes back from a battle, he immediately comes here to start drinking, and this time he drinks very little! The bartender explained.

"That's really ...... Never heard of it before. The commander looked at his colleague next to him and asked, "Do you know this?" ”

"I don't know!" One said.

"I don't think I've heard such a mouthful somewhere, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time!" The other said something else.

Several people looked at each other speechlessly, and some looked at Cowan who was lying there, and reluctantly accepted this "hobby" of this trump card.
