Chapter 611: Defection

When the Tang side infiltrated the interior of the Goldin Military Port through the exhaust pipe, the doors of the combat command center opened to both sides, and the staff officer who had followed Surbacho out walked into the hall, came to the combat command platform, swept his eyes over the increasingly bad battle situation on the electronic sand table, and ordered in a deep voice: "Pass the Lord's order, the warships of the Amber Fleet and the garrison naval fleet parked inside the military port are ready to be put into battle in 10 minutes." ”

The herald was stunned when he heard this, and Kurobakino and the others looked at each other, unable to figure out why Sulbacho did this.

The situation outside is so bad, and then the amber fleet and the garrison naval fleet are berthed inside the military harbor, what changes can be brought to the situation of the war? The first 30 or so large ships to strike are now only supported by the "Monsoon", and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated.

After seeing such a scene, do you still want to send an extremely expensive large ship out to die?

Not to mention those tricky and nimble golden fighters, stealth battleships alone are enough for them to drink a pot.

"This is the Lord's order!"

Seeing the herald's hesitation, the staff officer repeated the source of the order.

The herald did not dare to disobey the order, and hurriedly complied with the order, and issued the mobilization order to the ships docked inside the military port.

The staff officer paused, moved his gaze to the face of the communications officer not far away, and gave a second instruction: "Pick up the Edward fleet." ”

Everyone suddenly figured out that Sulbacho had finally figured out that he wanted to give up the blockade of "Etiya" and withdraw to Edward's fleet, and I am afraid that the order just now was to pave the way for the next joint operation, to fight a decisive battle with Captain Tang's troops.

But does it work?

…………

On the other side, Sulbacho led his personal guards to the area where the military port's communications facilities were located and arrived at the central control room.

The security door is locked from the inside, and it takes some time to enter by normal means.

Several guards planted bombs directly at the door. Break open with violent means, and then rush into the room to control the zhì shape shì.

"You're late."

It was the first thing Surbacho heard when he entered the door, and it originated from Claston.

The quantum teleportation system connected to the outside world has ceased to function, and there is a row of bullet holes in the core of the device.

I didn't expect the two of them to do such a desperate job and directly destroy the quantum communication system of the military port.

Steinbell sat in a chair in front of a large screen full of snowflakes, and looked with an indifferent gaze at the young duke who had walked into the room step by step outside the door.

He thought for a moment. "Thank you Lord for your hospitality, foie gras is delicious." ”

This is more hurtful than Claston's statement.

Six guards surrounded the two in front of them in a semicircle, their guns firmly locked on their heads, and they would not hesitate to pull the trigger if they dared to move their fingers.

They are all Surbacho's henchmen, the kind who do not hesitate to give their lives...... This is not enough to describe their loyalty, in other words, even if the young duke takes a fancy to their wife, he will not have a trace of entanglement.

"Why?"

Steinbell does not squint. It fell on Sulbacho's hideous face all the time, as if he didn't see the guards and the guns in their hands.

"Because I want to."

The answer was short and choking, but it was from his heart.

Sulbacho's grim gaze moved back and forth over the two of them, and he said, "What a bold man, do you know that this is a felony of treason?" ”

"Treason?" Clairstone smiled: "Meng Haoyu and McDowell are also guilty of treason. ”

"So they died." Surbacho smoothed out the folds on his sleeves and added, "Even their families." ”

The wrinkles in the corners of Steinbel's eyes huddled together, and he coughed lightly.

Clairstone looked at the not-so-bright light source on the ceiling. There was a hint of struggle in his slightly narrowed eyes.

Steinbell patted his slightly stiff hand flat on the armrest of the chair and said, "Whatever the outcome." We just did what we had to do, and the Duke must want us to do the same. ”

It was clear that the Duke in his mouth was Congreve, not Surbacho in front of him.

The young duke stared at his face, feeling that the two faces were so dazzling.

"Father? What a joke, my father is dead. Now I am the master of the entire duke. ”

He waved his hand to the left and right: "Tie them up for me, and after today I will let everyone who dares to resist know the fate of rebellion." ”

Two guards stepped forward, pulled the two men off their seats and pushed them to the ground, and then tied Steinbell and Clairstone with the ropes they had prepared.

The rope was tightly tied, and there were bright blood marks on the wrists of the two of them.

Sulbacho finally let out a sullen breath in his heart. He instructed a guard behind him, "Call someone from the maintenance team to come and replace the parts immediately." ”

"You don't have a chance," Cliston said. ”

Sulbacho was a little puzzled, what he said was clueless.

"Do you think I wouldn't be able to turn the tide without the Obsidian Fleet? The surname Tang has some skills, but so what? Now Golding is still in my hands, and I haven't lost yet. ”

Claxton closed his slightly open mouth and remained silent.

Sulbacho said: "I really don't understand why you are doing this because you don't want to give up your military power? Is life important, or is military power important? ”

Steinbell stretched out his slightly narrowed eyes, looked at his face and said, "Is life or power important?" ”

Sulbacho didn't expect him to ask himself the same question, and he was speechless for a moment.

Is life or power important? He had never thought about such a question, because he was destined to one day rule the dukedom in the future, and every step he took, every second he passed, brought him closer and closer to the throne of power.

Now Steinbell asked him if his life was important or his power was important, which made him a little dazed and even more angry, like the dragon king being stripped of his scales.

He would not allow others to disobey his will, let alone be denied the meaning of life, and in this way, from the mouth of a prisoner.

He, who had never beaten anyone with his own hands in his life, punched Steinbell in the face and roared loudly: "I will kill you, and I will kill your loved ones...... No, it's not just loved ones. All who have a relationship with you will die...... That's the price you have to pay. ”

Steinbell spat out the blood foaming in his mouth, calmly looked at the young duke's distorted face, and said, "You are nothing but a plaything of power...... Your life doesn't have any meaning. ”

With that, he walked towards the door, straightening his spine with all his might, even if it made his arm hurt even more.

Clairstone walked forward under the push of the guards. He went from being a general to being a prisoner. It seemed to be an extremely humiliating thing, but he was laughing, laughing very heartily, it was a kind of realization and relief.

The insult they had received at the banquet on the sightseeing platform was returned to the young duke without any landing.

This made them happy and glorified, as if they saw the late old duke smiling at them.

It wasn't until their backs disappeared at the end of the corridor that Sulbacho suppressed the anger that was scurrying in his heart, and said in a voice so hoarse that it looked like sandpaper grinding against the walls: "I am the power." The supreme power can decide your life and death, they are one, and there is no need to distinguish which one is important! ”

Unfortunately, Steinbell and Claiston had already walked away under the escort of the guards and could not respond to his words.

Such a scene seems very two-hearted, and Sulbacho is more like a brain-dead.

The two guards who stayed behind obviously wouldn't remind him that they were more like two unsmiling machines than humans.

Sulbacho walked outside. When approaching the door, the mood was calm.

Steinbell and Claston want to borrow Tang Fang's hand to get rid of him? It's just a dream at all, if he wants to go. No one can stop them.

It's just that he doesn't want to just leave, he hasn't lost yet, he still has the Edward fleet, and ......

…………

When Sulbacho escorted the two to the command center, the Tang side had already broken through the outer defense line of the military port and entered the core area. And with the help of Emma, he hacked into the CCTV system and obtained the whereabouts of Surbacho, and naturally heard the conversation between the three of them.

Unexpectedly, the other party turned against him, and Steinbell and Cliston turned around and smacked Sulbacho.

If the young duke wanted to get in touch with the Edward fleet or the obsidian fleet, he had to find other options, such as using the quantum communication system of the Albatross, the flagship of the Amber fleet. That would undoubtedly be a waste of time, not to mention that the crew of the "Albatross" were all Steinbel's henchmen, and he couldn't trust it at all.

Considering that the Edward fleet and the obsidian fleet would not be able to catch up for a moment, the Tang side decided to strike first, tracking down Sulbacho according to the route map provided by Emma, and sending a sortie order to Izsha.

Since he intends to take care of the affairs of "Aladel", he will take care of it to the end.

Since it was decided that Sulbacho should die, he would not be merciful.

At the same time, Behemoth, hidden in the asteroid belt of the seventh planet of "Aradel", was like a long whale out of water, crashing through the fine rocks around him and appearing in the outer void of the planet.

Dark blue ripples flashed from the ends of the appendages, and after about 10 breaths, the light flowed through the body like a waterfall, and the huge body disappeared in an instant.

…………

Behemoth is commanded by Izsha, and its abdomen contains nearly 300 Corruptors, 70 Wyverns, and 50 newly mutated Devourers. In addition, there are some ground troops of the Protoss, which can rely on large men for powerful output.

Such a disposition of forces against the Edward fleet is naturally a matter of no suspense.

However, the absence of suspense does not mean that YiqiΔ“ will develop according to plan. Reality is a big show, and there are always unexpected things happening.

When Behemoth appeared in the outer void of "Etiah", Izsha couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the projected image on the mucous membranes of the creature in front of him.

Edward's fleet didn't gather his warships and prepare to rush to the aid of Goldin Military Harbor, not Fernero? Coria didn't want to do that, but he didn't have the opportunity to do that.

In the void, thousands of kilometers from "Etiya", a fierce naval battle is underway.

More than 1,000 ships of Edward's fleet fought fiercely with a fleet of 400 warships.

It can be seen that the two sides have only been fighting for a short time, because there are not many casualties.

In terms of the number of warships, the Edward fleet was in an absolute advantage, almost 3 times that of the opponent, but in terms of combat effectiveness, the two sides were almost the same.

That fleet of 400 warships was superior to the Edward's fleet in terms of attack, defense, range, and coordination.

Izsha didn't know what was going on, why a fleet would suddenly come out at such a juncture and turn against Sulbachgio's Edward fleet.

The warships of the two sides are in the same vein, and they are both domestically made warships of the United Kingdom of Tulanx. However, it can be clearly found that the warships under the command of the small number have been refitted, and although the appearance has not changed much, the equipment performance is completely different.

"Obsidian...... Obsidian? Obsidian fleet? Did the Obsidian fleet fight with the Edward fleet? ”

Seeing the small number of battleship liveries, as well as the "Lakelight" that was in full swing for the people of the Dukedom of Kernar, the Duke of Congreve, Izsha exclaimed.

The "Huguang" is a powerful warship made entirely of inert zero-element crystals, and it is said that the ship was made of extremely badly damaged ships. Built on the basis of the central keel and the annexed Ipsi Dragon Battleship, it is one of the old duke's most beloved collectibles.

Yes, it's a collector's item in Congreve's eyes.

Since it is a collectible, it is natural to have a delicate coat, so the inert zero element crystallization as beautiful as the starlight has become its new outfit, because it looks like a tranquil lake, so it has the title of "Huguang".

Most people are deceived by its bright coat after seeing it, and few people care about its actual combat ability, which is actually used as a car for Congreve. It may never get a chance to go to war.

But today, after Congreve's death, the "Lakelight" finally ushered in its maiden battle.

As it turned out, the Huguang was not just a pleasing battleship, its small hull had a defensive power far superior to that of an oracle-class battleship, especially in terms of its resistance to electromagnetic damage and thermal damage.

This battleship, which is only more than 300 meters long, is like a natural pearl among countless obsidian, so dazzling and gorgeous. Even the glow of the explosion of the battleship could not hide its demeanor.

Congreve was indeed dead. But the spiritual symbol of the "Huguang" is not dead yet.

In a sense, the obsidian fleet is the continuation of his will, and the enemy of the obsidian fleet is naturally the enemy of the old duke.

The war in outer space is so shocking and confusing that even local governments can't figure out what's going on. It was not until the old duchess, in a stern and resentful tone, told the people that the Obsidian fleet had been bought off by Captain Tang, forgot the kindness of Congreve to them, waged a criminal war of treason, and called on the people to unite against the shameless rebels.

used cruel methods to treat people like Meng Haoyu and McDowell, and let the bloody terror envelop the world. Now it is calling on the people to unite against the Obsidian Fleet.

Black is her, white is also her, and it is still her who reverses black and white.

Many civilians scoffed at this, gradually seeing the Duchess and Sulbaggio's faces, and even speculated why the Obsidian Fleet was fighting to the death with the Edward Fleet.

That's not about Captain Tang at all, what kind of treasonous war? What shameless traitor? It's simply a basin that the official put on the heads of the Obsidian fleet.

Congreve's more than 20 years of institutional reform have given people more progressive ideas and wisdom, and not everyone believes in Amanda? Krivat's nonsense.

Izsha immediately reported what happened to "Etiya" to the Tang side who was far away in the Goldin Military Port, and asked him what he should do, whether to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, or go up to join the team?

He remembered the conversation between Steinbell and Claiston and Sulbacho just now, and felt that it was far from being as simple as it seemed.

They don't know with Carter? What Bonaro said, the Obsidian fleet suddenly appeared in "Etiah" and launched an attack on the Edward fleet before Izsha.

Judging from the current situation, the Obsidian fleet not only turned a deaf ear to the tense situation at Golding Military Port, but instead sent troops to "Etiya" to attack the Edward fleet.

In this way, Steinbell and Claesdon deliberately created conditions for themselves to occupy the Golding military port.

Just as he was quietly analyzing the situation of "Aradel", Emma reported another unexpected situation, the ghost fighter group that was carrying out the bombing mission at the battleship dock sent a message that there was civil strife in the small and medium-sized warship group of the Amber fleet, and the last battleship to leave the port suddenly turned its guns and launched an attack on the battleship that left the port first.

There was also an infighting on the side of the battleship dock?

At this moment, several detectors placed at the edge of the star system reported that an explosion had been detected near some large warp interception equipment, and that there was an unusual change of position in the garrison naval fleet.

On the other hand, the large ship formation that had just sailed out of Golding's military port ignored the Protoss fighters besieging the "Monsoon" and started their warp engines one after another, leaving this chaotic war zone.

Tang Fang finally figured out what was going on.

It turned out that Steinbell, Claiston, Carter, and other army generals who had a tense relationship with Sulbaggio chose to stage a military coup when they attacked Golding's military port.

If we analyze it from the perspective of the overall situation, Congreve and Surbaggio's governing philosophy to the left is the basis of the contradiction, the tragic death of Meng Haoyu and McDowell and their people is the catalyst for the intensification of the contradiction, and Sulbacho recklessly set up a Hongmen banquet to seize control of the Amber fleet, which once again intensified the contradiction between the two sides, until he raided the Gordin military port, which became the fuse for the complete outbreak of this military coup.

Logically speaking, it is logical for Surbacho to take over the position of duke, and the military coup d'Γ©tat carried out by Steinbell, Claston, and Carter is not justified, which is itself an unjustified act, and there is no advantage in military strength, and it is difficult to kill Surbacho, who controls the Edward fleet, the garrison naval fleet, and most of the Amber fleet.
