It was the third day after the Combined Fleet arrived at the Golden Farm.

At Morningstar's request, the officers and men of the entire Combined Fleet relaxed happily for three days, and in Morningstar's words, this was probably the last carnival in the lives of some of them. Although it was very explicit and cruel, Morningstar was telling the truth. Once the wheel of war is in motion, an individual's life is like an ant under this wheel, and it is God's favor to survive and die if he does not die.

Although the soldiers were relaxed and satisfied like never before, the officers at the top were busy. During these three days, the operational command group with Morning Star, Vasily, and McGonagall as the core was very busy, not only to contact the army of the Republic and complete the docking of information, but also to formulate the operational policy of the combined fleet. In the words of an operational staff officer on the republic's side, that is, after all, the Combined Fleet belongs to an external force, and in any case, it is impossible to be as unscrupulous as the army to which the republic belongs.

For this point of view of the combat staff officer, McGonagall almost got into a fight with the officers of the Republic. This straightforward Ruhr man didn't have so many twists and turns, and he met the people of the Republic who were particularly interested in human feelings. But fortunately, Morningstar was still able to suppress McGonagall, and under Morningstar's strong request, McGonagall still died down and honestly obeyed the arrangement.

Morningstar knows very well that a small combat staff officer does not have such great power to directly dictate to the Combined Fleet, and this incident can only show that the current commander in charge of the Golden Farm Star War does not trust the Combined Fleet brought by Morningstar. Morningstar tried to meet the commander he had never met and could not be named, but was denied. The reasons are all sorts, what child is sick, the commander is not there; What is unwell, inconvenient to see people; Sometimes it's a front-line inspection and you can't meet in person. Under such circumstances, the combined fleet has almost become an ornament, and it cannot give full play to its powerful combat effectiveness. In desperation, Morningstar could only obtain some information from the top of the Republican Army, which was not very classified, and studied it with the other members of the Combined Fleet, striving to get into the state as soon as he got the mission.

The hard work of these three days was not in vain, at least I had a new understanding of the strength composition of the Heavenly Mandate Sect on the Golden Farm Star. In this invasion, the Heavenly Mandate Sect should have used its main forces, at least not the dead soldiers who fought five scum in the past. According to the information provided by the Republic, in the previous battle, the Heavenly Mandate Sect sent a large number of alien insect troops, listening to the description of the warriors, Morning Star knew that this was likely to be the Void Alien Insect troops in the Heavenly Mandate Sect, otherwise, with the military power of the Republic, how could it be possible to abandon the Golden Farm Star and confront the periphery of the planet?

But Morning Star was puzzled, what was the Mandate of Heaven Sect going to do when it was entrenched in the Golden Farm Star? It can't be for the ice fruits and abundant grain on the golden farm, right? If the insects all started eating food, then the morning star really had to thank God, herbivores couldn't be too aggressive, wouldn't that be a good thing for humans? But such nonsensical ideas were quickly suppressed by Morning Star.

After the Mandate of Heaven Sect gained control of the surface of the Golden Farm Star, it once paid a huge price to create a passage from the encirclement of the Republican ** team, and the commanders of the Republic analyzed that the main function of this passage was to provide supplies for the Mandate of Heaven Sect troops on the surface of the planet, and Morning Star thought so. It's not that the Republic hasn't tried to regain control of this transportation line, but after several major battles, instead of retaking this transportation line from the Mandate of Heaven Sect, it has made this transportation line more and more stable, and the Republic has paid a huge price. In the balance, the commander could only temporarily abandon the attack on the transport line and switch to a defensive posture. And the Mandate of Heaven Sect also seems to have some concerns, and did not attack the forces of the Republic on the basis that this transportation line has been firmly established, and gradually encroach on the control of the Republic, they just quietly guard the small space that belongs to them, and this behavior makes the outer space of the Golden Farm Star form such a confrontation scene as it is now.

It wasn't that Morningstar hadn't tried to scout that transportation line, but when the Goddess Eye tried to get closer, it was fiercely attacked by the Mandate of Heaven Sect army, and if it weren't for the Goddess's Eye strength, I am afraid that it would not have been able to retreat with all its might. In the process, the doubts in Morningstar's heart became even more confusing. Judging from the firepower of the Mandate of Heaven Sect's counterattack, they are fully capable of expanding the area under their control, although they will not be able to fully control the outer space of the Golden Farm Star, but there is no problem in forcing the Republic's troops back to a safer place. But why didn't they do it? Morningstar does not know, and can only temporarily suppress the sense of crisis caused by it.

Morningstar is arguably one of the most knowledgeable people in the Manifest Destiny Sect among the human race, but after talking to many warriors who have been involved in the battle, Morningstar begins to feel that he knows nothing about the organization. Once upon a time, the people of the Mandate of Heaven Sect that Morning Star met were either dead soldiers who had no ability to think, or low-level commanders who were not very bright-minded, and Morning Star could kill all of them with little ability. But after listening to the warriors' memories of the battle, Morningstar thought that in this group of heavens on the Golden Farm Star

The soldiers of the Sect of Destiny have a very clever commander. Creating illusions, feints, luring enemies, deceiving, harassing, etc., as long as there are strange strategies that have appeared in the history of human warfare, almost all of them have appeared in the army of the Mandate of Heaven on the Golden Farm Star. The soldiers of the Republic who didn't know much about the Alien Insects and made up for the relevant knowledge in a hurry, in the early stage of the battle, their understanding of the Alien Insects was still above the tactics of the Worm Sea, and it was also because of this awareness that the Republic Troops suffered huge losses at the beginning. With the passage of time, people began to gradually realize that the army they want to deal with is not inferior to the human army, not only has a clever commander and a swift command system, but also is much stronger than humans in individual combat effectiveness, there are dead soldiers who do not care about life and death, there are patches of alien insects, and there are many strange shapes, creatures with special abilities, and these creatures are not human beings nor alien insects, any person can see that these creatures are probably unknown civilizations to human beings.

There are countless similar incidents that shatter the preconceived notions of the Morning Star, not to mention others in the Combined Fleet. That's why after getting this information, the entire United Fleet's top brass was busy with their feet on the ground.

The Eye of the Goddess bridge, the surrounding area of the star map generator is full of people at the moment, and the inner circle is more than a dozen people clinging to the star map, and they are listening to the analysis of a beautiful young man with solemn eyes at the moment.

The young man was none other than Xie Shiqi, the chief manager of Morning Star, and in the past three days, Xie Shiqi's talent had long been recognized by the command of the entire United Fleet, and some people even openly dug into the wall in front of Morning Star, wanting Xie Shiqi to become their staff. For such behavior, Morningstar didn't even want to pay attention. Who is Xie Shiqi? Talented and ambitious, such a person needs a stage, a stage where he can show his talents, just ask the whole starry sky, what place will be more suitable for Xie Shiqi than It Gleeson, and who else can completely hand over the power in his hands to Xie Shiqi like Morning Star? Not to mention the foundation of their relationship for several years.

"Today, the Republican ** team has completely lost control on the surface of the Golden Farm Star, and the entire planet is completely under the control of the Mandate of Heaven Sect at this time." On the side of the star map, Xie Shiqi was operating the star map generator, enlarging it little by little, explaining it little by little, completely showing the situation of the Golden Farm Star at this time in front of everyone.

"Look, everyone, this is the image of the reconnaissance plane released by the Eye of the Goddess coming back before it was destroyed. The small city in the picture is an ordinary name on the planet Golden Farm, with a population of more than 100,000 and no military power, but it still maintains its old way of life. Looking at the outskirts of the city, you can see that the city has been completely surrounded by the armies of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, but they didn't choose to attack the humans here, isn't it strange? I wonder what everyone thinks of this picture? ”

The crowd was silent, and everyone had their own opinions in their hearts, but no one took the initiative to speak. Xie Shiqi sighed lightly, pointed at the morning star and said, "You come on." ”

Morning Star didn't mind Xie Shiqi's attitude towards him at all, and replied with a smile: "Opinion, my words may not be very good, I feel that these people are like livestock raised in captivity by the Heavenly Mandate Sect. ”

Although Morning Star's words were ugly and even insulting to others' personalities, they won the approval of everyone present, because everyone thought so in their hearts. Xie Shiqi stood beside Morning Star and scolded in a low voice: "Can't you change some nice wording?" Then he ignored Morning Star's aggrieved face and continued: "That's right, the words are not rough, it is indeed as Morning Star said. Moreover, there are countless such cities on the current Golden Farm Star, I wonder what you think of the Heavenly Mandate Sect's approach? ”

Morning Star has already started, and naturally there are people following behind, but it's a pity that this benevolent brother's point of view is not elegant.

"Could it be that these guys from the Heavenly Mandate Sect are trying to establish a new order system, as the Fan family said?"

"Idiot!" The same thought came to the minds of those present. How can it be? The Mandate of Heaven Sect is obviously not a righteous teacher, and what they are doing in the entire human camp has the slightest appearance of wanting to establish a new order? They only love destruction, destruction, bloody killings, sudden sex shifts? Inexistent.

Xie Shiqi shook his head and said, "I am skeptical of your words, this gentleman, of course, it is not that I doubt you, but I doubt whether the Heavenly Mandate Sect is such an organization. Since they came into the human eye, they have never done anything beneficial to humanity, and I do not believe that they would have such good intentions at this time. Xie Shiqi's words were very polite, maintaining his elegance and arrogance as always.

Vasily rubbed his beard and said, "I feel that the Mandate of Heaven Sect is using these humans as their talismans, or hostages!" ”

Vasily's words represented the views of the majority of the people in the room, so they won a chorus of approval. Xie Shiqi also gave an affirmative reply, saying: "I also agree with General Vasily's point of view. I have to say that the commander of this Heavenly Mandate Sect force is very clever and full of brains. At the beginning, after their first confrontation with the forces of the Republic, I found these guys unusual. than the republic

They are more like the protectors of these people, and they are trying their best to avoid hurting the ordinary people on the planet. At that time, I wondered why this army did this, and it was only in the last few days that I figured it out, and it turned out that at that time, the Mandate of Heaven Sect had already formulated this kind of captivity tactics. They want to make the human army throw a rat into a trap, and they want to make us dare not use powerful weapons in space, such as ......"

"Like the main guns of my ship." Morning Star took over Xie Shiqi's words and said, "According to common sense, if the human forces want to strike at the surface of the planet from outer space and destroy all the enemies on the surface of the planet, then I am afraid the price they will have to pay will be unacceptable. The conventional armament of the main warship of mankind can bomb a planet to the ground, but it cannot damage the root of the planet. The Manifest Destiny Sect is an organization with a team of alien insects, which can dig a palace-like network of tunnels below the surface, and they don't need to take into account the conventional attacks of the human space fleet, so they don't need to care about the lives of these ordinary people on the surface of the planet, but they just do this, in my opinion, there is only one possibility. ”、

Morning Star didn't sell off, but took this opportunity to look around, and the expressions on everyone's faces were clearly seen by Morning Star, but it made Morning Star a little disappointed. The long-term comfort has made most people in the human world lose their sense of crisis, and even the commanders of these armies in front of them are among this group of people. Except for Vasily, Xie Shiqi, and a few people who had expressions of horror or sudden realization on their faces, the rest of the people all had expressions of confusion.

Morningstar sighed lightly and continued, "It's possible that they know of the existence of a terrifying weapon that could directly destroy a planet, and they are pretty sure that such a weapon is in our hands. That's right, the weapon I'm talking about is what you saw the other day, the Goddess's Eyes! But let's think about it, when did the eyes of the goddess be used? Ten days ago? Maybe less, but when did the Gold Farm Star War happen? I am very responsible to tell you that the use of the eyes of the goddess was also the first time I had seen such a terrifying weapon! ”

After Morning Star's remark, the entire bridge of the Goddess's Eyes was instantly covered by the sound of gasp, and after a long time, someone finally asked, "Commander Morning Star, could the leak of this news be artificially leaked as if the previous march route was known to the Heavenly Mandate Sect?" ”

Morning Star waved his hand and replied affirmatively: "This is simply impossible, the power of the main cannon of the Goddess's Eye, there is only one person on my ship who knows it, this person is one of the people I trust the most, and it is absolutely impossible to betray." I'm not afraid that everyone will laugh at me, even I didn't know that the power of that shot was so powerful, and I must have seen my performance at that time, and I was not much better than you. ”

McGonagall seriously recalled the scene for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's not much better, but, Commander Morningstar, according to what you say, I don't understand, how did those guys know?" ”

Morningstar thought for a moment, then separated the people in the besieging circle by a gap, looked at Anshidar, who was standing outside the crowd with Quinn, Tina, Ellie, and others, and asked with his eyes. Anshidar also thought for a moment, and then nodded. Morningstar returned to the middle of the crowd and said, "I'm not afraid that everyone will laugh at me, my car is a complete coincidence, and I don't know much about Agunis. But people who really know the history of this ship have told me that this ship has fended off the last threat from the Void, and I say this, do you understand? ”

There was silence again, and this time it was Salotte who was the first to react.

"Commander Morningstar, if I'm not mistaken, what do you mean is that the Heavenly Mandate Sect is on the same side as the threat from the Void, and the threat in your mouth is actually the same force as the last time?"

"Unfortunately." Morningstar nodded and said, "That's what I meant. As for the threat from the void that I speak, you can come to me for a moment in the future, and now I want to tell you that, as far as I know, the last time, it destroyed a civilization higher than Psenchus. ”

When the words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked, and everyone in Cambridge whispered in twos and threes, most of them were afraid of the future. At this moment, Ai Li suddenly said, "Brother Morning Star, Leader Zhu Nianguo has sent a communication, saying that he will arrive at our current location in an hour. ”

"It's finally here!" Morning Star breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Let's dismiss the meeting, go back and prepare, I think we will have a mission soon." Please don't be too pessimistic, since someone was able to drive those things back into the void, so can we! ”

……

Everyone dispersed, and the bridge of the Goddess's Eyes once again became a private space between Morning Star and the Red Faces, and Quinn, who witnessed the whole process of this meeting, came to Morning Star's side and said with some worry: "Morning Star, you told them those things now, can they accept it?" ”

Morning Star shook his head with a wry smile helplessly, and replied, "I think it's probably unacceptable, but there's no time for them to get used to it." I think that after this war, no matter whether we win or lose, humanity will have to learn to accept these things! ”
