In such a situation, those lords who had the heart to respond to him had no chance to lead their troops to join the stream, so they could only choose to nest in their own territory and defend cautiously. Even so, it was still constantly eaten away by that fleet, losing the family's property little by little.

From past events, it can be concluded that the new Deep Diver fleet does not dare to confront the fleet-level forces, which is very consistent with its unique weakness as a stealthy mobile force. Although the local fleet at the control of the Radical Lords is strong enough to defeat the new Deep Diver fleet, they will not be able to obtain the target whereabouts at all, and one of the lords planned to design an ambush for the new Deep Diver fleet, but the funny thing is that the garrison fleet was caught right before going out, falling into the warp interception net of the new Deep Diver fleet, and destroying nearly 200 warships. By the time his ships recovered from their paralyzed state, the commander opened his eyes and saw that the enemy had withdrawn from the battlefield and fled into darkness.

There is one word that can accurately describe the mood of the radical local lords ------ madness.

Kursk? Alexander is certainly not a wine bag, and in the face of the threat of the new Deep Diver fleet, it is clear that the most appropriate countermeasure now is to send troops to the Fillmos star system as soon as possible, and completely defeat Virginia before the conservative local lords have gathered their forces to raise troops? Alexander.

It is true that the new Deep Diver fleet is a great enemy, but it can only act at the level of the local lord's garrison fleet, and does not pose a threat to the combined fleet led by the Phoenix Protectors.

Just as humans are faced with flies flying around their bodies and ignore them, the more they care, the more impatient they will become, and the more likely they will be to have bad results.

Kursk? Alexander suppressed the dissatisfaction and resistance of the social level of the Durham star system as quickly as possible, and began to reorganize the legion and prepare for the Fillmos star system. Alexander stepped down.

In the meantime, Ingrid? Alexander's Jupiter expeditionary force also began to cause trouble on the frontier, skirmishing with the Spartacus wing of the Covenant.

On the other side, with Kursk? Alexander's wealthy Monya Empire nobles also took action, connecting diplomats sent by the radicals, trying to get in touch with key members of the royal family, trying to meet with Kirlclov I, in order to negotiate politically, promising heavy profits in exchange for the Monya Empire's withdrawal of the new Deep Diver fleet and the outcome of the civil war in the Phoenix Empire.

At this time, the radical local lords also joined forces and advanced to the goal with a multi-way situation, muddying the waters of the Phoenix Empire even more and making the situation even more chaotic.

In the face of the current changes, the new Deep Diver fleet, a stealthy mobile force that specializes in guerrilla warfare and fighting behind enemy lines, has lost its ability to turn the clouds and rain.

Many people are looking sideways, wondering how His Majesty the Holy Emperor will deal with Kursk with the Fillmos Star System Capital Guard alone? Alexander's steps are pressing, and he can't choose to give up like last time, and embark on the road of escape again.

………………

The vast majority of people in the Hillenbuir region have their eyes on the Phoenix Empire, and few people pay attention to the changes in the Dillard star system. Of course, even if the spies of the Mengya Empire and the Sulu Empire had the intention to investigate, it was no longer possible to disguise their identities to enter the interior of the Dillard star system as before.

As soon as the battleship production line cast by Morningstar was running smoothly, Ruskin, Stephen? Sue, Yasen? Nicholas and others strengthened their internal security forces, and secondly, the Dillard star system was surrounded by a shocking force, and there was an organized use of drones to test the situation, which ended in destruction. Since then, no one has dared to approach the area corrupted by dark energy.

Only the mid-level personnel within Morningstar Casting knew about the fact that the wandering planet had returned home, and only the high-level personnel within Morningstar Casting knew the news of the veteran's death.

At Kyylnia's initiative, Grant and Byron erected a mound in honor of Aros in the green canola fields of the thriving star Kristel.

The Tang side specially asked people to engrave the life deeds of the veterans on the tombstones, and the yellowed photo was also put into the coffin.

Only the core members of Morningstar Casting attended the funeral...... Tang Fang, Grant, Byron, Nehmeyah, Kudelia, Tang Yun...... Hoffman, the seventh consul of the Silver Eagle Regiment, wanted to come over, but he couldn't get away because of his busy political affairs, so he could only miss this delayed farewell gift.

Tang Fang did not blame him for not being able to attend the funeral, because he knew better than anyone why Hoffman couldn't pull away.

The content of the epitaph was written by Zhao Jiali, and the wording was not impassioned, like the historical story told by an elderly man by the bonfire at night, which was very smooth and frank, just like Aros's person.

Looking at the coffin in Chen Jian and Yasen? Covered in dirt under the shovels wielded by Nicholas and the others, Kudelia put the small white flowers in her arms to the tomb, and turned to walk back and forth.

Tang Fang noticed that her eyes were slightly red, and he was surprised that this cold and mean princess also had such an emotional side.

Compared to Tang Lin, he really didn't know much about Kudelia.

After Kudelia left, there was Nova, then Yufi, Keylnia, Tang Yun......

He didn't see Hausen in the crowd, and he didn't know that the guy had drunk too much bitter wine last night and hadn't woken up yet. I still can't see this kind of scene, and I deliberately absent from the funeral.

In a word...... The people around him decreased one by one, and the gloomy sky began to fall with a light rain, kissing the soil that had just been turned up, and the unsightly flowers in the rape field.

He felt that he would not be able to control his emotions if he stayed any longer, so he didn't wait for Chen Jian and the others to complete the grounding ceremony, and walked outside with his wind-blown clothes.

Zhao Jiali came up from behind, didn't speak, just handed over something.

That's a picture, not Aros & Lev? Milonovic? The photo of Bukharin and other dragoon squads is a group photo of several of them outside Torchlight City.

Raindrops falling from the sky wet the image, blurring the calm side face of the veteran in the sunset.

With a smile on his face, he took the photo and put it away like a baby.

Zhao Jiali turned around and looked at him backwards, the sparse rain line falling on the tip of her small nose, like morning dewdrops.

The single ponytail jumped in the cool wind, and the smile on the lips at the corners of her eyes dispelled the solemnity and sadness of the funeral, adding a little freshness and tranquility.

She said: "I always thought that the phrase 'he lives forever in our hearts' was an outsider's gesture, but now I don't think so, it is because of these unforgettable faces that life has become complete and precious." ”

Tang Fang flexed his finger and tapped it on her forehead: "How old are you, and you can learn to feel the extraordinaryness of life." ”

Zhao Jiali stroked his forehead with his hand and pouted: "I'm a scholar. ”

"Good, good, you're a scholar...... You are an academic. Tang Fang smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling helpless and pity for this cheerful and out-of-thinking female scholar.

Because she was here, the melancholy and confusion in his heart was slightly diluted......

He was afraid that Freya would not be able to figure out the situation and say something inappropriate at the veteran's funeral, so he left her on the space station and did not bring her here.

Xiao Nizi's absence did avoid an embarrassing scene, but it also lost the elements that could affect the development of his emotions to the positive and sunny side. Fortunately, Miss Zhao Jiali made up for this gap and kept him from being too sad.

He left the rape field with her, stood under a maple tree and waited for Chen Jian and the others to return, and took the Protoss transport plane to leave the green-wrapped field and fly towards the Cristiel High Orbit Space Station.

Upon returning to the high-altitude orbital space station, Kylinia tells him that the radioactive waste from the last contaminated area on the surface of Christil has been digested by the fungus blanket and can be removed from the main nest.

He promised to do so, but instead of dealing with the matter immediately, he took the Protoss transport plane back to the Dreadnought-class fortress ship to visit Miss Freya, who was being locked up in the captain's room by him, lest she wake up and find himself to cause trouble.

When I got off the Protoss transport ship and walked from the rest area to the captain's room, I passed by the veteran's room, and suddenly found that the originally locked door was opened by someone who didn't know who opened it, showing that there were people inside.

He hesitated, but walked to the door and pressed the door switch.

With a slight creak, the security door opened to the sides, revealing a portion of the room.

There were no lights on, it was a little dim, and there was a medium-caliber shotgun in the doorway, the only collection of veterans. It is said that the first time he learned to shoot as a child was when he was taught by his uncle to shoot an empty beer bottle in front of the woodland with such a shotgun, and then his mother scolded him.

That was the only time the veteran said about his childhood experience, and he still remembered that shortly after leaving Planet 5, he, Aros, and Hausen had a lot of alcohol, and they were almost seven or eight minutes drunk.

After killing the Evil Eye on the Nami Star Battlefield, the three of them gained the ability to regenerate at high speed, and they did not get drunk due to alcohol, and the veteran never talked about his interesting experiences as a child.

Tang Fang sighed, stepped into the room, and saw the beautiful tail fin of the moonlight butterfly through the light on the edge of the fish tank...... This was followed by a pungent puff of smoke, somewhat choking, and a very bad experience from a sensory point of view. However, for him now, it is a small but real happiness.

A very familiar taste, it is a brand that veterans are used to smoking. Nova kept persuading him to change to a less rushing, slightly soft cigar, and the veteran simply took her words as a deaf ear.

He strode into the room, blending into the dark realm, his gaze passing through the antechamber and landing on the area behind the coffee table.

There was a man sitting in the open space in front of the bed, and the choking smoke that filled the room was coming from half of his cigar.

That's certainly not Aros, it's Hausen, who didn't attend the funeral...... He said that he did not want to go through that kind of parting scene, the so-called soldiers, the so-called soldiers, should have realized from the moment they picked up the gun, and they were already mentally prepared to die generously for what they should protect, and there was no need to be too sad. He couldn't stand the crying of women the most, so it was better not to go.

Those words were very manly and imposing, but what made Tang Fang speechless was that this guy was far from being as strong as he imagined, and he actually ran to Aros's room alone to smoke a cigarette.

Hausen likes to drink and doesn't like to smoke. Although it is sometimes used to refresh the mind, it is basically not touched by cigars, which are very strong smokes.

Since escaping from Planet Five, he, Hausen, and Aros have traveled together, and many things have happened along the way, and their friendship has grown stronger. Just like Jian Chen, Stephen? Su and others privately complained that he had always turned a blind eye to Haosen's big mistakes and did not make small mistakes, and everyone knew that this was a small connivance.

In fact, it is true, because he, Hausen, and Aros are the iron triangle forged by Morningstar, and he is not willing to hurt the relationship that the three of them have cultivated for a long time for those trivial things.

Now that Aros is gone, he is sad, and how can Hausen be indifferent. The previous words were just deliberate and reckless. The boxer who now locks himself in the veteran's room is the real boxer.

When it comes to emotional issues, men are often not cold-blooded and hard-hearted, but they just can't let go of their identities in front of others and can't pull down their faces.

"It's back......" Hausen saw the figure walking into the room, and there was no surprise on his face.

Tang Fang didn't speak, walked to the sofa next to the coffee table, and sat down face to face with Haosen.

The embers of the cigar flickered in the darkness, and the smoke meandered upwards and spread in midair.

"Don't you dislike cigars?" Tang Fang asked.

"I changed my mind because it tasted good...... It's better for me than cigarettes. ”

Tang Fang knew very well that he was lying, this guy was just commemorating his best comrades-in-arms and brothers in a wayward and childish way like a child.

The phrase "I can't ...... you really take it" doesn't tell the whole story, because the consciousness is suddenly transferred to the system interface.

As the background light dimmed, the four ethnic emblems went out one after another, the window turned from light to dark, the cursor flashed several times, and a line of characters flashed in the brisk ticking sound.

“system，restart…… ok!”

“init……”

“prepare，dates……”

“update…… 22%…… 38%…… 78%…… 99%……”

“release.”

“run，no!”

“……”

With a low buzz, the system came back online, the base selection interface appeared, and the totem lit up with a bright luster.

Emma's voice sounded in her head: "Commander, change the address based on the mempool data recorded in the system log, the new element is located in the human base, quantity 1. ”

How can the new element expansion process of the system be activated at this time?

He was puzzled by this, and it took him a while to suppress his emotions and focus on the Terran base, checking the new elements he had just unlocked.

After selecting an SCV, he pressed the Basic Building and Advanced Building hotkeys successively, and after finding no target object, he switched his focus to production buildings such as Barracks, Heavy Factory, and Star Port.

I couldn't help but frown and switch my focus to the functional building, but I didn't find any new elements.
