Chapter 426: Trainee Captain

"This mission was well accomplished, but unfortunately, there are still 4 students who did not come back." Mu Chen said lightly, but there was no fluctuation on his face.

"I'm generally happy with your performances, with Anu, Leohard, and Ilves giving you a lot of praise."

This Ilves is the captain of the No. 5 ship, and his performance in this mission is also extremely eye-catching, and he also figured out the technology of ultra-long-distance shooting in the later part of the mission, and the number of individual kills ranks first among the 16 students, which is a good talent.

Hearing Mu Chen praise himself for the first time, the three students who were named and praised were all honored, and the other students also cast envious glances.

"Next, you will serve as a trainee captain in the Reaper fleet, familiarize yourself with the daily management affairs and command and tactics of the large fleet, Leohhard and Anu will take them to familiarize themselves with the Reaper first, and the fleet will be launched a day later."

"Yes!" The two responded.

These two people are more familiar with the Grim Reaper fleet, Anu has lived on the Grim Reaper for a period of time and gained a lot of popularity, while Leo Hard is a veritable deputy captain of the Grim Reaper, although he is only responsible for the daily training of the flight unit, but with his extraordinary skills, he has also won some people's hearts.

But now they, like other students, are all trainee captains, and Mu Chen hates people who use power for personal gain, so the two of them don't dare to play any tricks, and the crew of the fleet will not help them privately.

Everyone understands that the more closely related to Lord Death, the stricter the requirements will be.

Richard of the Space Airborne Corps is a living example, Mu Chen scolded him more than once in front of all the crew, and he was completely merciless.

The 16 cadets were trainee captains, but they did not have any captain's treatment, but they were the hardest working members of the fleet.

The Reaper fleet has a very strict discipline, all crew members must strictly abide by it, especially during the mission, the crew's housekeeping will be checked regularly every day, and the slightest problem will be punished.

Most of the 16 trainees are from different galaxies, and there are only 5 earthlings, except for Leohard, it is difficult to adapt to the strict system on the Grim Reaper, and many people have been punished for various reasons on the first day of boarding.

After Mu Chen knew, he just said lightly: "If you don't fight, you can't be talented!" "These trainee captains were sent to undergo inhumane torture without landing on the ground:

Up to an hour of physical training in a 5x gravity room.

By the time Anu finished the last set of training, he felt like he had only half a life left, and he had to lie in the medical pod for a long time to recover.

"Leo, is Mr. Muchen usually like this?" An Earth student leaned over and asked.

"yes, it's hard to imagine how the crew of the Reaper managed to hold out." Another Proxima Centauri student also said with trepidation.

Leohard sighed and said, "I have long reminded you that you must memorize the rules of the battleship, but in the eyes of Lord Death, there is never room for sand, no matter who violates the code, you will definitely be punished." ”

It is also a well-known fact that Mu Chen's strict management of the army is that it is the discipline of steel that creates an invincible fleet.

Even at the most critical of the battle, the Reaper fleet never flinched, and this was the result of the ban.

shepherd

Dust taught these students a lesson in the simplest way, there are no rules.

After experiencing unspeakable punishment, the trainees found out the battleship code as soon as possible and memorized it word for word, for fear that Mu Chen would find an opportunity to physically punish them.

In the battle conference room of the Grim Reaper, Mu Chen was conveying the combat mission this time.

"The Zerg of the Centauri galaxy has basically been cleaned up, and the recovered planet has also regained its vitality under the action of the artificial star core, but the signal from the reconnaissance satellite in front of the Zerg is that the Zerg will organize a large-scale counterattack in an attempt to counterattack the Centauri galaxy, and we are blocking the invading swarm troops this time."

"This time the Zerg is really here, the planetary base alone has sent 8, and the size of the insect swarm has reached the level of 100 billion, this will be a tough battle."

The chief of staff said solemnly: "Your Excellency, the Reaper fleet is not fully staffed, and with only one space fortress and two dreadnought-class space carriers, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with a swarm of this size." ”

Mu Chen nodded, agreeing with this statement: "You're right, on paper, our Reaper fleet does not have an advantage, but the Liberty and the Fuxing are being refitted and cannot be put into battle, and the other fleets also have their own tasks, and they will not be able to provide support for a while and a half, so we can only rely on ourselves." ”

The 16 trainee captains began to panic in their hearts, such a huge gap between the enemy and me, didn't they run to die? You must know that there are large Zerg units in the Zerg planetary base, and once they are entangled, even if it is the Reaper Fleet, I am afraid that it will be the end of the entire army.

"There's nothing to worry about, it's just a protracted battle, which mission of the Reaper fleet is easy to complete? This victory is still ours! Mu Chen said confidently.

With Mu Chen's backbone, the crew of the Reaper fleet visibly calmed down, and the previous uneasiness on their faces quickly disappeared, making the trainee captains stunned.

As long as Mu Chen says "we will win", even if there is a big difficulty, the crew will put their hearts in their stomachs, this is the convincing power of Lord Death.

Leohard looked at Mu Chen, whose face was as usual, thoughtfully, and secretly admired in his heart, what a strong confidence it takes to be able to be fearless in the face of a 100-billion-level insect swarm, and he would never be able to do it anyway.

Then Mu Chen began to arrange a battle plan, the content of which was outrageously simple, taking advantage of the high mobility of the Reaper Fleet to fight a sports war with the Zerg.

To put it bluntly, it is a guerrilla tactic in which the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I pursue, and the enemy is tired and I fight, without a trace of technical content, so that the students do not have some doubts whether Mu Chen is hiding it from them.

But after the battle began, the results created by the Reaper fleet quickly shocked them.

In the face of the insect swarm that obscured the sky and the sun, the Grim Reaper adopted the tactic of flying a kite, adjusting its direction and turning around and running, and the particle beam cannon at the tail of the battlestar kept pouring cannon fire, effectively strangling the insect swarm.

When he found the opportunity, he activated the Star Destroyer Cannon and destroyed a planetary base at an ultra-long distance, so that the complacent Ilves saw what the gap was, but he witnessed Mu Chen instantly complete the aiming of the target 5,000 kilometers away, and hit the soul with one shot.

To make matters worse, the Reaper opened the dropping pod and threw the little treant Gollum over a long distance to the largest planetary base, and then left it alone.

Isn't this sending the little tree man to die? Even if he is the natural enemy of the Zerg, one person will fight one

The swarm of the planet tired him to death.

Just when Anu was so anxious that he was about to cry, the reconnaissance satellite sent a picture, and after landing, Gollum kicked open the hatch of the airborne cabin, and then his body expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a giant as high as 500 meters, and countless tentacle-like vines stretched out in all directions.

The planetary base soon cracked a huge gap, and dozens of giant zergs flew out from the interior of the planet, each of which was several kilometers long, and just by its size, it was clear that it was definitely not a character to be messed with.

But a surprising scene happened, Gollum threw out a vine, directly dragged an eight-winged flying snake from the sky, and then tied it up like a rice dumpling with vines.

The eight-winged flying snake writhed desperately, but it couldn't get rid of such restraints, and its anger could be felt through the light curtain.

But Gollum was unmoved, and dense spikes grew on the vines, piercing into the body of the eight-winged flying snake like needles, quickly absorbing the energy in its body.

In just a few breaths, the eight-winged flying snake that was more than 2,000 meters long was sucked dry, and when the vine released it to look for the next target, only a puddle of pus and blood was left on the ground.

Although he had heard of the prestige of the little tree man, it was the first time that the students saw Gollum in battle, and Anu could not have imagined that this little tree man who was always holding a wine bottle was so terrifying that he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and swore that he would never provoke Gollum in his life.

By the time Gollum pulled out the mother worm at the star's core location and ate it, the trainee captains were completely numb.

Gollum single-handedly wiped out the Zerg on a planetary base, and the Zerg's flying troops fled from his attack range, and none of the bugs wanted to come closer.

Gollum seemed to have eaten and drunk enough, returned to his original appearance, found a place to sit down, and took out the wine hidden on his body and drank it.

"This guy is lazy again!" Mu Chen said angrily, but he didn't say anything more, and continued to command the battle.

At this time, the trainee captains realized that the major arms of the Reaper fleet had already been lined up on the battlefield, and the drone swarm was cooperating with the flight unit to clear the small Zerg units, while the Reaper provided long-range fire support, and the pursuit of the Bug Swarm was forcefully repulsed.

How is this done? I'm afraid I'm not dreaming, am I? The trainee captain thought in surprise.

But after careful observation, I found some doorways, and it turned out that the cooperation between the various arms had reached an unbelievable level, and the flying troops were divided into countless combat teams, covering each other, and efficiently launched an attack on the insect swarm.

And drones are even more useful, controlling the swarm of insects to gather together, just like dolphins prey on schools of sardines.

The intelligent lion group also played a role in dividing the battlefield, dividing the large group of Zerg into small groups, so that the flying troops could nibble one by one.

The trainee captain finally understood why Mu Chen's tactics were so simple, because real tactics cannot be described in words, and the tacit cooperation between various arms is the most effective tactic.

The Reaper and the two Dreadnought-class space carriers only play a role in controlling the field the whole time, accurately solving the biggest threats on the battlefield with long-range strikes, ensuring that large Zerg units will not interfere with the battle of the troops in front.

It wasn't until the flight units and drone swarms ran out of energy that the Reaper fleet began to withdraw again, pulling away to prepare for the next round of attacks......
