Chapter 631: The Lonely Fleet

"A country without enemies will end sooner or later!" In private, Liu Nianfeng once confided in Alice his heart, "The reason why the empire can be stable for a long time is because the empire has always had the enemy of the star beast, and the empire has always been possible to fall in the hands of this enemy, so the empire will be stable for a long time and maintain thousands of years without collapsing!" ”

"But once the empire loses the enemy of the star beast, then the empire may reach its peak for a while, but after the peak, it will inevitably decline, it will be the civil war of the empire, it will be the collapse of my bloodline, and my bloodline is likely to perish in this civil war again and again!"

"So I have to create an enemy for the empire, and this enemy is my Jiangzhou Star District, in the future, when the star beasts are destroyed, let the Jiangzhou Star District, let the new country be the enemy of the empire, so that the empire and Jiangzhou have their own opponents, so for them, maybe the best result!"

"In this way, will not the two countries be littered with corpses, and countless lives will be lost because of this? Wouldn't that be a little too cruel? Alice looked at Liu Nian Feng with some fear.

"What you said is true, but one thing you should not forget, human nature is placed here, they will never be able to get peace, even if there is no empire and Jiangzhou, human beings will always strive for it. In the future, the empire will be divided, it will become hundreds or thousands of vassal states, and then these hundreds of countries will be in civil war, and the death toll will be hundreds of times greater than the battle between two countries, and this is the real cruel thing! Liu Nianfeng sighed.

"Then our Jiangzhou Star Region is so small, once the strength of the empire is completely restored, it is impossible for the Jiangzhou Star Region to be the opponent of the empire!" Alice said with some concern.

"Don't worry, the volume of one star sector in the Jiangzhou Star Region is equivalent to the volume of the four star regions of the empire, and there will be new star regions outside the Jiangzhou Star Sector, according to the star map of the Shangri-La civilization, outside the Jiangzhou Star Sector, there are still hundreds of general star regions in the Jiangzhou Star Zone."

"And this is just a galaxy in the Milky Way, there are hundreds of billions of galaxies like the Milky Way outside the Milky Way, the universe is endless, and what we humans occupy is just a piece of territory the size of a grain of soil, the empire and the Jiangzhou star region will continue to expand in the future, while fighting, while expanding!"

"As long as these two forces continue to fight, then these two forces will not die, and the rulers of these two forces will be my bloodline, and my bloodline is the master of the entire universe, what a wonderful thing!" Having said this, Alice suddenly felt a burst of crazy ambition from Liu Nian Feng, and she was stunned to find that after so many years, Liu Nian Feng was no longer the simple and unpretentious little boy he was at the beginning, he had grown into an ambitious king.

"Admiral, according to the report of the forward reconnaissance fleet, the Kyle Stargate has been completely destroyed, and this Stargate is also unusable!" In the cockpit of a warship, a staff member reported to a gray-haired woman with a heavy face.

"Really!" The woman's body trembled slightly, and then asked in a trembling voice, "How much oil do we have left?" ”

"It's not much, except for those damaged in battle, the resources of all the external transport ships have been empty, and our fuel can only last for another 35 days of faster-than-light sailing!" Another staff member said with a bitter look on his face.

"Then pass the order to abandon all the heavy warships except the Rodney and Izumo, and transfer all the resources in these ships to the other warships. Now that the Stargate of Kyle is finished, we have to take a detour to the nearest Akemi Stargate, which will take 78 days of faster-than-light travel, and we will need to make up at least those 78 days! The admiral sighed.

"But Admiral, if we abandon all our heavy warships, then if we encounter the attack of the Star Beast, we will have no way to deal with it!" The flagship's starship girl retorted on the spot.

"Could it be that we can deal with the starry beasts now?" The admiral gritted his teeth and said, "We have already lost 3/4 of the warships when we came out, and we only have more than 40 warships left. ”

"So if we really encounter the attack of the star beast next, then you will remember for me, we only have the only way to escape, the farther we escape, the better, the faster we escape, the better, all the heavy warships are drags, even my Rhodes and Izumo can give up at a critical time, and living is the last word!" As soon as the Admiral finished speaking, the entire cockpit fell silent.

After a few minutes, the entire fleet began to follow the orders of the Admiral, and the heavy battleships that were destined to be abandoned began to transport all the remaining resources and fuel from the ships to the various ships, or store them in the warehouses of the transport ships.

This is a more tedious set of work, in addition to fuel, all kinds of ammunition and daily necessities also have to be transported, so the entire fleet can only temporarily stop in this starry sky and wait for about ten hours or so to complete the entire transportation process.

And even so, the admiral has been in the cockpit constantly urging everyone to move faster, and in the past few years, she has fully understood a truth, that is, the night is long and dreams are many.

Everything is done as quickly as possible, and if you stay in one place for too long, you may run into unforeseen risks.

But as the saying goes, whatever you are afraid of comes, when the fleet has finished transporting about half of the resources, the destroyer fleet that is on guard on the periphery immediately reported to the admiral in panic that it was found that a team composed of 12 demon-level star beasts appeared in the warning range, and it had also been discovered that the vigilant destroyer fleet was frantically coming towards the large fleet.

"Bang dang!" The glass in the Admiral's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"Suck!" The admiral took a deep breath, then turned his head and said lightly to the frightened communication soldier, "Pass the order, all the staff on the heavy battleship immediately board the traffic boat, and must arrive at the docking battleship within three minutes, and at the same time immediately abandon all the materials and heavy battleships that are in transit, even the Izumo and the Rodney, all the personnel board the cruiser and destroyer, get out of here as fast as possible, and go towards the Akemi Interstellar Gate!" ”

"What! Do you give up? Even the Rodney ......"

"Do you still want to question my orders?" The Admiral suddenly pressed a button on the seat, and the whole person disappeared into the cockpit with the seat in an instant.

"Let's go, everyone! That's the only way to go! The starship girl who stayed on the bridge also sighed helplessly, also pressed a button, and disappeared on the bridge in an instant, and she was the starship girl of the Rodney, and the Rodney was also the flagship of the entire fleet.

In the next second, all the staff sitting in the chairs entered the escape boat through the emergency release button, and the rest of the entire battleship also found an emergency escape channel to enter the escape boat.

In less than a minute, hundreds of emergency escape boats or transport boats flew out of the Rodney's escape exits and headed for the nearest destroyer, and this happened on the rest of the heavy warships.

It can be seen that this is a fleet that has been through a lot of battles, so the whole process went smoothly, although the Admiral only gave three minutes, but in fact it was less than two minutes, and all the personnel were all transferred to complete the work.

By the time the Star Beasts arrived on the battlefield, they could only see seven or eight abandoned heavy battleships, and then angrily tore them to pieces.

——————————

"Admiral, we're finally almost there, and in front of us is the Akemi Interstellar Gate!" Eighty-one days later, on the periphery of a closed stargate, a fleet of three warships broke away from the speed of light and appeared here.

"We've finally made it through!" Compared to 81 days ago, the Admiral's hair had noticeably become grayer, and the condition of the entire fleet had become a little more dire.

At the time of the previous escape, there were still more than 30 warships left in the entire fleet, but now there are only three.

But don't get me wrong, it wasn't that they encountered the attack of the star beast again, but when they transferred the fuel before, they only transferred about 1/3 of the fuel, and more than 30 warships arrived at the Akemi Interstellar Gate, so in the end, the admiral could only break his wrist again, give up more than 20 warships, and concentrate all the remaining fuel and personnel on the three fastest destroyers, so as to barely ensure that the fleet arrived at the Akemi Interstellar Gate.

However, a fleet has almost reached its limit, in addition to the fuel shortage again, more important is the lack of living materials and living space.

At the time of departure, the entire fleet had more than 200 warships, adding up to nearly 6 million personnel, which was an extremely large number.

And now, there are only three warships left in the fleet, but because of the wise command of the admiral, nearly 4 million of the 6 million staff have survived, and now these 4 million people are all crowded on these three destroyers, not only the normal living cabin has been crowded, but now even the aisles are full of people, and these three battleships have become as crowded as sardine cans.

To make matters worse, the consumption of living materials is that each person can only be allocated one nutrient solution per day for food, but this is only barely enough to keep themselves from dying.

But even so, the fleet can only hold on for less than a month, and if there are no more supplies, the entire fleet will only have one way to collapse.

"Let's see if Ming Mei Xing is still there, the information says that Mei Xing is an agricultural planet, and a lot of living materials should be found on it, even if the entire planet is abandoned, we can also take advantage of this planet to take a good rest!" Out of the faster-than-light state, the admiral said with anticipation that Akemisi was their last straw.

After waiting for about five minutes, a voice of despair shouted

"No...... Akemisi is gone...... It turned out that where Akemi Star was located, there was only a meteorite belt left...... Akemi Star has been ruined by the Star Beast! The observer said in despair, and this sentence pushed the entire fleet into despair.
