For the next period of time, there was some very routine transactional work. The first is the work of cleaning up the battlefield, looking for possible survivors on both sides, cleaning up and picking up all kinds of tattered parts that have been left out around the airspace, probing the astronomical and astral conditions after the battle, and repairing the wear and tear of the ships.

During this period, the members of the fleet, including the militia from New Seville, a military group of nearly 5,000 men, will take turns eating, resting, and working.

In addition, the crews of the sunken Centurion 927 destroyers were transferred to Corsica and Luoyang in batches to temporarily serve as replenishment. As for the Lancer Project 622 destroyer, which was destroyed in the later battle, it was not scrapped after emergency repairs. Thankfully, the jump engine and basic protection are still working well, and while you won't be able to go to battle, it's not a big problem to jump on a few more galaxy jumps.

As a result, it was unanimously decided that Lancer 622 would return to New Seville for overhaul with a small number of disabled wounded - as long as the disabled wounded were not completely dead, they could be repaired through genetic treatment. It's just that this kind of large healing equipment can only be equipped on larger ships, and for now, it can only be sent to New Seville for treatment.

After a short period of emergency repairs, the rest of the ships returned to eighty or ninety percent of their condition. Eleanor felt that the whole fleet was still strong, so she waved her hand and began the next jump.

"According to the star map left by Wanda, the ISA872 galaxy, in addition to the road to Runa, should have a new transition channel near this airspace, that is, within the star map marker X729-811.Y9632-11234.Z1745-2312. Moreover, it should be guaranteed by a solid line. ”

Yu Lian drew an implementation on the pilot map, indicating that this should be a stable jump route.

"Considering that the enemy ship has also made a jump, there is no problem in maintaining quality." He paused for a moment, and then said, "However, the next DK17 galaxy is a galaxy of white giants, so everyone should pay attention to protection." In addition, since it is a huge white giant, there are multiple jump channels, so we don't have to guess that the enemy ship is fleeing in that direction, just march at the same pace. ”

Akinayama Hachiman nodded: "However, it's not a straight march. We should make sure that we do not rush to the city of Kerna before the enemy ships. At the same time, it is also necessary to prevent pirates and black (meow) elements from blocking it. ”

"There's a pirate colony here, and it's been at least a hundred years old. And it's close to us. Fei Fei also clicked on the star map, and the star that was originally in an isolated state suddenly lit up.

Fei Fei actually knows! Yu Lian looked at the other party with a suspicious gaze, and the latter smiled calmly: "It's not surprising, the committee and the national unification are rice buckets, at least they know that they have to maintain a certain connection with the black (meow) road." The outlaws who inhabit the nebula on the far shore are not completely ignorant of the community. ”

Yu Lian felt that the word "perch" was used very cleverly.

Although the opponent was a pirate, Eleanor ordered everyone to repair for the night, and it was not until 6 a.m. the next day, November 13, when the crew had finished breakfast, that the next round of the jump began.

Because of the "Wanda's Star Map" information provided by Yu Lian, coupled with Yu Lian's own pilot, the fleet was easily at the edge of the ISA782 galaxy, and the gravity well probe worked for less than an hour, and it was logical to detect the existence of another jump channel.

The Community's exploration of the Far Shore Nebula has actually taken a lot of time, but it has only done some patterned data collection in the surrounding area. As a result, in one day, the Thirteenth Fleet's exploration of the Nebula on the far shore paid off more than the entire community had gained in several years.

No! Not the 13th Fleet, but Captain Yu Lian himself......

As soon as he thought of this, Brigadier General Maklov on the Fog Capital actually had a surreal sense of absurdity.

Then, it was another day and a night of vigilant cruises, and during this period of time, everyone in the fleet could really feel why this nebula was regarded as a natural border and a forbidden area of civilization.

They skimmed past the dying star and saw the surrounding planets that had fallen into dead silence.

They could feel a dense stream of reflective particles, like a blizzard between mountains, constantly blowing against the hull's shields and armor.

They saw the expanding superstar, like a giant demon god who was constantly greedy for everything around him. After the snowy halo that cannot be seen directly, it is like an endless abyss stomach that can digest this world.

If it weren't for the old driver, any of the above extreme celestial changes could lead everyone to death.

"I now understand why the community hasn't conducted an effective fieldwork of the Far Shore Nebula." The brigadier general thought.

Yes, even if it is investigated, it is impossible to establish any busy trade routes, and naturally there will be no profits, and there will be no financial support. In the same way, if there are too many people who have died, it will be difficult to account to the voters.

However, the empire on the other side has such an obsession and spirit to conquer this great nebula.

Now, they are only one step away from conquering this place.

The system of the Empire is so good! The psionic nobles did not spare their lives, and the citizens of the empire had no choice but to spare their lives. Of course, even if they spare their lives, there will definitely be the general election emperor of the Dawn royal family and the generations of gods to whip their butts.

…… If this continues, what will be the future of the Community?

The old commodore was a little flustered for a while, but when he looked through the porthole of the bridge and saw the Corsica leading the way at the forefront of the fleet, he was relieved.

Isn't the future there? His heart was suddenly filled with hope.

At 14:12 p.m. on November 14, after a long march, all the forces of the Thirteenth Fleet finally arrived in a fairly stable star system.

The star here is a star that has just entered its youth, there are seven planets in the galaxy, there are no stable habitable planets, but the overall environment of the fourth planet is close to Mars, and it is a planet that can be modified.

Soon, the scouts determined that there was indeed a large-scale man-made structure on the planet's surface.

"In this galaxy, no enemy ships have been found for the time being!" Investigators then gave such information.

"I can't rule out the possibility of a trap!" Akinayama Hachiman said in a low voice.

“…… Indeed, order the whole fleet to be on alert! "Senior sister is as good as a stream.

She is indeed a brave general who likes to be reckless herself, but she is not a brainless and reckless mediocre person.

So, the Thirteenth Fleet still maintained due vigilance and caution, carefully approached the far side of the planet, and observed it a little more, and then it was determined that this was indeed a pirate stronghold. In addition, the pirates in the stronghold really didn't set any traps, they really didn't think that they would be approached by the earthlings' navy, and even the pirate ships of various sizes full of grafting wind were lying in the harbor, as if they were also sleeping.

"It's so unalert." The senior sister is excited. With such a weak chicken's enemy, she really can't be interested.

"After all, he is a pirate, and he is drunk today. Besides, according to common sense, there would be no navy in such a poor and remote place. Yu Lian smiled: "Besides, at least the construction ability of these pirates is still worthy of appreciation?" ”

They are indeed a rare underworld gang that can farm, using all kinds of abandoned spaceship cabins, as well as all kinds of parts that can be used for my thinking out of nowhere, they really put together a planetary space base of considerable scale, which is much larger than the outpost planetary bases arranged by the Far Shore Fleet on the front line of the corridor, and even a dome farm.

In the midst of the barren brown rocks, there stood such a dome full of life, and Yu Lian felt that this part-time job could be called "the pearl of the nebula on the far shore". He was in awe for a moment, and felt that if he had taken a different position, he would definitely be interested in talking and laughing with the leaders of this pirate army.

It's a pity that the senior sister born in a big family didn't feel it at all, and after making sure that there was really no danger nearby, she gave the order to attack.

As a result, justice from heaven completely swept away this pirate stronghold.

The course of the battle was very simple, five or six rounds of bombardment in a minute easily destroyed almost all the pirate ships in the harbor and several turrets and monitoring stations full of bandits, and then two rounds of deterrent bombardment of the main building.

Immediately afterward, the militias of New Seville landed in a joyous manner.

In the face of such an enemy, Yu Lian did not bother to participate in the war. While he was on the ship, he asked the Marines to pay attention to collecting astronomical data from the pirates, as much as possible.

"Plus, there's the dish! yes, don't blow up that Dome Farm! We can add a lot of fresh ingredients to the fleet! ”

"Got it! They're going to pick two oranges for you, and the fish are here and don't go away. ”

As a war correspondent, Fei Fei is much more dedicated than Yu Lian, holding two unmanned aerial vehicles and going down together.

The other three psionics in the fleet were also more energetic than Yu Lian, and they all participated in the landing battle. With Meng Jiao's pig advancing suddenly, with Fei Fei's assistance, and with the long-range support of Ina and Simon, none of the Marines were killed, and only three were slightly injured.

…… In addition, the three unlucky eggs who were injured were bitten by the space-grown overlord man-eating flower when they went to the farm to pick vegetables. It is said that the fresh vegetables in the dome are important foreign exchange products of the pirate group, not for ordinary minions. So, the head of the regiment, Shandos, planted more than a dozen such discordant things in the vegetable field, in order to prevent people from stealing vegetables.

Probably because the only injury data on her side in this battle was actually made by plants, the senior sister felt deeply humiliated, and after asking what information she had, she did not hesitate to order all the pirates who surrendered to be shot on the spot.

No one objected, and pirates just didn't have human rights anyway. Everyone collected all the materials that could be used, and razed this "Nebula Pearl on the Far Shore" to the ground with one shot, and then continued to move forward with satisfaction.

The morale of everyone in the Thirteenth Fleet was high. They defeated the Imperial warships, and now the one they killed with zero casualties is called the "Red-haired Pirate Regiment", which is said to be a little famous on the road. The officers and men of the 13th Fleet, who were mostly recruits, finally realized that they seemed to be in a rather powerful team.

The militias in New Seville were even happier, they finally opened. Some of the large stolen goods in the pirates' warehouses were indeed difficult to handle, so they could only bury them on the spot to see if there was a chance to dig them up later, but they seized more than 20 million gold dragons in cash.

You know, the empire is still using a lot of precious metal currency. In any known celestial region in the universe, whether it is the administrative region of the country or the personal reserve of the underworld giant (meow) chieftain, there is nothing harder than these golden cuties.

In addition, according to the confession of the pirate leader Sandos, who was shot in the head by Ina, before his death, these gold coins were all saved by his hard work to grow vegetables, and he was ready to go to the city of Kerna to get three or four good ships, and the earthlings came.

Yes, the space station, which is still under construction, has become a transit point for pirates to exchange information and supplies. The management of the space station seems to be happy to see this happen.

In addition, there is now a shipyard there that is willing to provide repairs and overhaul services to pirates and smugglers.

Of course, Sandos didn't know that it was governed by the Empire. Most pirates only know that it is a mysterious party with vast financial and technical capabilities...... As for the rest, it's really unclear. In other words, even if the pirates vaguely guessed something, they had to pretend to be confused.

With a wave of her hand, Eleanor gave half of it to the militia soldiers of New Seville. The average amount of gold per person will be more than 10,000 gold coins. With just this amount, the soldiers earned the equivalent of more than half a year's allowance.

They almost cheered Brigadier General Marklov for his longevity and Tianqi, and Bonaparte's chief immortal blessing forever, even if it was the eldest sister Lilia who brought them to make a fortune, they could find a "Forever Jian X" or something.

Lilia Alfonso "Colonel" was not proud of this. She knows very well the nature of these people under her, she can call her mother when she has money, and when she has no money, she still can't command her when her mother comes.

"That's enough! At the very least, you have somewhat established a little prestige, and it will be much easier to lead troops in the future. If you want to rectify it when the time comes, there will be at least a foundation. Moreover, seeing that everyone's morale is so high, it will be much easier to take subsequent actions. Fei Fei comforted the other party.

"No matter how I say it, I also graduated from the Central Defense University, and I hope that the troops I lead are not so rabble...... But there is no way, the local militia has no motivation to become stronger. Lilia thought for a while, and then said: "Fortunately, there are still a group of very ambitious young men in the army, saying that they want to join the Thirteenth Fleet and earn a future." What the fleet lacks most now are stormtroopers and marines, right? ”

"Eleanor-senpai should be very welcome!" Fei Fei said.

"The first thing to ask, though, is the attitude of Daddy Maklov. After all, it will be a regular army establishment in the future, and there will be many procedures to go through, but if the commander of the fleet personally sends an application to the commander-in-chief, many procedures can be simplified. Ensign Anne Romanova said.

Lilia nodded.

"In the future, Lilia will be the commander of the militia at home, Fina will be a reporter, I will continue to sail, and everyone will have a bright future!" Anne laughed.

"Yes, in this way, no one has to sneak away!" Lilia smiled too.

"It's a pity, girls, not only did I sneak away, but I also ate and wiped clean and there was no scum left." Fei Fei smiled openly.

"I hate it! Fina, what do you say to an unmarried lady of Yunying! Lilia covered her face and said loudly.

“…… Don't have any scum left? How old is that guy? Fina, I know you're good, but you still need to pay attention to his body. Anne felt that she had found something very important.

The girls of the 830 class student union laughed and laughed for a while, and then clinked a glass with the red wine that was given to the officers at dinner, and then ended their first meeting after leaving the school, and they were already completely in the style of elite social people who have everything in their daily affairs.

In fact, they're really busy right now.

Anne is now the helmsman of the flagship Fog Capital. Lilia was busy counting the list of soldiers who would like to join the Thirteenth Fleet. As for Fina, she had been in contact for a week's worth of interviews, and no one pulled down, from Commander Marklov to the most ordinary crew.

The following week was followed by what Fina later reported as the "Far Shore Nebula Sweep".

The Thirteenth Fleet approached the city of Kerna on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was like a tiger coming out of the mountain, invincible, and the enemy was ready to fight, and along the way it wiped out at least seven or eight bands of pirates, and blew up more than a dozen strongholds of outlaws and outlaws.

By November 21st, the Thirteenth Fleet would have made three jumps from Kerner's system. At this time, they finally met a pirate fleet of rather impressive size.
