A fleet of silver-gray metal paints cruises at an altitude of thousands of kilometers, and at the center is a warship shaped like a manta ray, which at first glance looks like a young kun.

This is a manta whale, a miniaturized mothership based on the design of the "Test One" young kun. The empty weight is close to 10,000 tons, and the maximum speed in the atmosphere is 500 kilometers per hour. In addition to carrying 60 fighters of various types, it is also equipped with detection, communication, and force field control equipment equivalent to the level of black whale and ghost whale, and serves as the core and command center of the Red Union Navy detachment.

The manta whale was also involved in yesterday's battle against the Deep Divers, as were the chicks carrying the sawtooth sharks, and they did not show up, but released a group of fighters at this altitude to alert more unexpected enemies.

The young Kun joined the Arrow Kun, commanded by the elder Huk and Karin, and took most of the warships of yesterday's fleet to form the "Everbière Sweeping Task Force" and sailed northwest.

The manta whale stayed high in the sky for a day, and now sails east as the ship of the former enemy commander of the Heart of the Silver Moon.

Through the clouds, the long yellow sand of the weeping sand sea occupies less than a third of the field of vision. The original Silver Pine Kingdom is directly below, the plain with dark green vegetation on a scorched brown background to the south is the Zeta District, the southeast is the Kamitsukami Plateau of the Red Alliance, and the northeast is the dark red red mountain area. Directly north is the inland sea, and you can vaguely see the fragrance of black gas tumbling.

"We got together with Theresia and Romulus and had a serious discussion about how to get rid of the fragrance, and that was four years ago. ”

At the tail of the manta ship, on the small viewing platform where the formation commander lived outside the cabin, Qili looked at the black gas from afar and sighed deeply.

Aurora snuggled up in the chaise longue, holding black tea and said, "It's not you, Qili, that's Richie." ”

Qili scratched her head and sighed, "Okay, okay, I'll tell Leia." It's just that now that the situation is so urgent, I'm a little afraid of complications. ”

Ou Luo stretched her back, and the style of this moment vaguely coincided with the image of the countess seven or eight years ago, which made Qili extremely nostalgic.

She said lazily: "It's up to you, it's not me who is flustered anyway." You must know that Leia still has the memories of Theresia, and this should be the last thing that will affect Leia's will. Without crossing this threshold, Leia will always be uncertain. ”

Qi Li frowned in distress, the "urgency of the situation" she said just now also came from a huge uncertainty.

A red dot lit up in the field of vision, indicating that the Companion Ethereal had received a message marked as urgent.

"Very good, the round hook sent the latest report......"

Qi Li eagerly read the information and muttered in amazement, "Lady Dark Moon?

Laugh again, Dark Moon...... Isn't that poor creature I met in the underworld called the Empress of the Dark Moon?

The smile quickly disappeared, and Qili's brow furrowed even deeper, the situation was even worse than expected.

Yesterday, she and Romrose returned to Tros's palace, took Constantine and others, and finalized the terms of military and trade cooperation between the two sides overnight.

In the middle of the night, she received two urgent reports from Gambit and Roundhook, as well as an emergency communication from a certain profession.

Gambit said that the Eye System had spotted that the main fleet of the Dawning Empire was moving towards Redstone's Fleet City, and that other scattered warships were converging there at the same time.

The Hook's report mentions the "Flagship Fort Project", saying that the Holy See, the Imperial Military Department, and the Wizard Elite have been mentioning this name frequently for the past two days, as if they are convinced that this plan will destroy the Heart of the Silver Moon and reverse the Empire's unfavorable situation.

He also reported that high-ranking magician nobles had sent messages to the Intelligence Bureau's intelligence station in the Adventurer's Commune through intermediaries.

The message confirmed three things, firstly, that the "Flagship Fort Plan" did exist, and secondly, if the plan succeeded, the Red Union would be hit hard. In the end, the plan is in the hands of the Goddess of Order, the Goddess of Commerce, and another deity, and the key details are unknown to no mortal.

As for that professional Erwuzai, to be honest, Qili is not sure whose Erwuzai that guy is now. He sent a communication to find Li Qi, but Li Qi was naturally not there, so he had to vaguely ask if he had received it...... Gift.

Qi Li immediately understood who the "high-status magician nobleman" was, it was this guy.

Summarizing this information, Qili summoned relevant personnel to analyze and draw preliminary inferences.

Looking at the name of this plan, it is natural to take the small floating city "Flagship Fort" owned by Mosmut over the fleet city as the core. Coupled with the movements of the Imperial fleet, most people believe that the Dawning Empire wants to teleport the entire main fleet to the vicinity of the Heart of the Silvermoon, and the flagship fort is the teleportation hub.

The one who disagreed on the technical point of view, he thought that even if the goddess of business did it herself, there were several problems to solve.

Teleporting a small floating city and hundreds of warships requires an unimaginably large amount of power, exceeding the limits of what the main plane's barrier can hold.

The Goddess of Commerce can mobilize such power through a doppelganger or a holy woman, and the Goddess of Order can also find a carrier sufficient to carry these powers through the Dawning Empire, such as the Tek Pivot. But to ensure a successful teleportation, it is necessary to circumvent the barrier's limitations, which requires an elaborate power hedging system.

This kind of system must have the computing power equivalent to at least the nascent gods, and also have the ability to detect the underlying magic power with sufficient sensitivity, and then it also needs to be at least the level of the Tektronix Nexus to carry the corresponding power.

"The Tektron is the Magic Empire's crowning achievement in subspace technology, and it is indeed the best choice for this kind of thing. But we are sure that the Dawning Empire does not have enough Tektronix Nexus on hand, and there is no Super Core of the same specification as a replacement, which is a god-level thing. ”

The one who said with certainty: "It is equivalent to something dug up from the Benuin gods and the existence of the ancestors." Not even the Liviit, or the Rock Princess and the Fire Demon King's nuclear crystals. ”

The reason why he was so sure was because he was also studying how to teleport the Heart of the Silver Moon from the Kukai to the main plane barrier. Finding the starport teleportation is only a feasibility, if this feasibility is not available, Chilian will have to rely on itself.

As for the Tek pivot, the Red Union has been working on the one captured from Simberna. Over the past few years, the Intelligence Bureau has been tracking down the other Tektronix Pivots, and has now figured out the whereabouts of each one.

No one said anything: "Of course, the goddess of business may use the technology we don't know yet, take other technical routes, and the possibility of creating a super nuclear crystal out of thin air also exists." ”

As an authority on "space science" of the Red Union, who said so, everyone put forward other inferences.

For example, the so-called "Flagship Fort Plan" is just a disguise, and the real plan is to send a suicide assault force, rush to the Heart of the Silver Moon with a super-large yield elemental bomb to play self-detonation, and gather the main fleet in Fleet City, the target is actually the Red Union mainland.

This inference is technically more feasible and deceptive than the former, and it is also a greater threat to the Red Union. In the end, it was decided to take targeted actions based on this inference.

A detachment led by Ralch launched a feint attack in the direction of Valentine from Winsley Reef.

The air force led by Linde integrated the forces of the army and the Storm Ocean Sea Spirit to launch a full-scale air-ground offensive from several directions such as the Weeping Sand Sea and Tangus, including using commandos to harass Valentine and cooperate with Ralch's feint.

Once the elder Hook had settled Everbier's stronghold, he turned back to the Heart of the Silver Moon to strengthen his defenses.

Qili/Li Qi led a small detachment to maneuver towards Fleet City, testing the situation there, and interfering with or even stopping the "Flagship Fort" project.

At the same time, other warships that are entering service are converging in the airspace of the Delta District to monitor the movements of the Empire's main fleet.

This is a comprehensive plan, and in the case of not being completely sure of the enemy's intentions, seeking stability is the best option.

In terms of troops, the Red Alliance Navy's plan when the Heart of the Silver Moon ascended to the air and sea was to have 800 warships of various types, 3,000 fighters, and a total of 200,000 personnel. Now it is close to half of this plan, and counting the gap in the combat strength of the unit, it has a clear advantage and can calmly divide the troops.

However, soon after saying goodbye to Romulus today and stepping onto the battleship, Kiri received a report from Tina's side.

The case of Amberil, the god of the fjord and the breeze, is secondary, and the motives of the attackers of unknown origin are even more alarming.

Thanks to Tina, a little wealthy fan, she mentioned several times in her report that "pearls big enough to make me betray the revolution", and asked Kiri to write down a lesson "big enough to remember two lifetimes", and at the same time remembered the judgment of that one.

From the analysis of the battle footage, those strange small warships should be from the Ted Workshop, and in the "Flagship Fort Project", in addition to the goddess of order and commerce, there is also a god involved.

The Hook was very efficient, and within a few hours a report was sent back, confirming that the deity was Blackie, who was Hathaway's partner, but now renamed Lady Darkmoon.

Aurora sent an extension of the inquiry, and Kiri forwarded the message to her, sighing, "This little black has fallen to the goddess of order, and Hathaway is working on the flagship fort plan." Their goal should be the Eye of Amberil, to be the super nucleus that they said. ”

Aurora breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that we stopped ......"

He glanced at Qili again: "Look, your old friend finally went along with the reactionaries." used to pretend to fight the empire to the end, but it turned out to be a dramatist. ”

Qi Li denied it very shamefully: "That's Li Qi's business, it has nothing to do with me...... Oops, it's so itchy! Don't pinch it!"

Holding down Aurora's hand that was so angry that she squeezed her chest, Kiri said seriously, "What I'm worried about is that the real purpose of this plan is actually to teleport the entire fleet to the vicinity of the Heart of the Silvermoon, along with the super-large yield elemental bombs. ”

"Moreover, they don't have the Eye of Amberyl, and they don't have enough Tek Pivot to take the risk and choose which one to say...... Other technical routes to manufacture super nuclear crystals. ”

Aurora was puzzled: "Then I didn't understand too much, what other technical routes are there?"

Qi Li's expression became more serious: "It's a grand spectacle that wizards in the old days dreamed of. ”

Aurora thought for a moment, took a breath, and then said, "Why don't we give them a Tyke pivot and beg them not to go this way?"

Qi Li smiled bitterly: "That's why I said, the more we win this war, the more ferocious the enemy becomes, and things are more and more like a duel between the police and kidnappers, but we don't have enough strength to take care of both sides." ”

Aurora didn't know what to say, and was silent with Kirly.

Singing suddenly came through the crack in the door, coming from the hangar below.

Relly waved her hand to light up the screen, went to the monitor in the hangar, looked at it, and laughed with Aurora.

It was a kobold Marine in a white and blue uniform and a sailor's hat in a practice line, walking and singing.

"Above the sky, above the sea of stars, we are the brave Wang of the Red Union!"

"The ears are pricked up, the claws sharpened, the eyes polished, just waiting for the trumpet to blow!"

"We are not afraid of hardship in the waves, and we are especially capable of fighting on land!"

"Jump out of the battleship and smash it on the enemy's head!"

"Lu Zhanwang's battle flag is flying, always ahead!"

"The army of the army, the king of the king, we are the good sons of the Red Federation!"

"Sharpen the steel knife, take the machine gun, put on the armament, just wait for the trumpet to blow!"

"We are not afraid of darkness in the void, and we cut through the waves on the starry sea!"

"Jump out of the battleship and smash it on the enemy's head!"

"Lu Zhanwang's battle flag is flying, always ahead!"

The kobolds held battle flags and sang the kobolds' version of the Marine Corps song with a shrill voice, although it was still a little uneven, but it gradually merged into one voice, just like the positive steps that were getting more and more uniform.

However, it was still obviously incongruous voice, because it was very crisp and sweet, it was Leia, wearing the same uniform, singing solemnly, carrying the flag and walking at the front of the queue.

Qi Li remembered: "In a few days, the official establishment ceremony of the First Fleet will be held, and Leia is rehearsing with the dogs. ”

Aurora covered her mouth with a smile and gasped, "This style of painting is really ...... Weird, can't we be normal?"

Qili corrected: "This is normal, awaken all souls and wise beings, unite together, and strive for a better and happier tomorrow." ”

Aurora suppressed her smile and said, "You see that kind of thing as a duel between the police and the robbers, but what about the hostages?

Qi Li subconsciously said: "The hostages are weak and defenseless......"

Speaking of this, his brows gradually relaxed, and his eyes gradually radiated.
