Chapter 57: Escape
This is Star Wars!
Ye Feng watched in amazement as the two sides fought fiercely in space.
Watching the warships turn into nothing, watching the warplanes being smashed to pieces, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
What was in front of Ye Feng was definitely a sci-fi blockbuster, but he didn't have the excitement of watching sci-fi blockbusters in his previous life.
On the contrary, his mouth is now dry. I felt like I was being gripped by the shadow of death. It's like death hovering around.
However, for the time being, Ye Feng was still safe, because just when the Seventh Fleet turned to engagement, Rhodes had already ordered the spaceships of the Lord Star garrison to avoid the combat zone.
The soldiers on the transport ship all came to the porthole to watch the two fleets engage.
They have been cheering and frustrating with the outcome of the war.
And at this moment, everyone saw that the Grant began to burst forward, and was invincible along the way. Destroy all the opponents you encounter, whether they are fighters or mechs, with secondary guns.
Seeing the Grant in full swing, all the soldiers watching the battle cheered.
"Yay!! The Grant is invincible! Kill them! ”
"No one is a match for the Grant. Only if this battleship exists, our army will win this battle!! ”
"It really deserves to be the flagship of Carlisle's Tiger himself. Invincible! Now they are even more in the lead, and they have begun to surprise the opposing fleet. ”
"Rush! Let's smash the Yellow Dragon! ”
Everyone was very excited. Even Ye Feng, a person who didn't know anything about interstellar warfare, was very excited after seeing the Grant's heroic appearance and indomitable momentum.
However, at this time, Rhodes, who was in the command compartment of the bridge, gave an order.
"Immediately change course and target the planet Carlisle. Burn the wind!! ”
"General, we are this~" Runaway! The herald did not say the latter words. But his expression already said what he thought.
The other crew members in the bridge command cabin also had puzzled expressions. They didn't understand why, and at this time Rhodes was going to give the order to let himself and the others escape.
"Pass my orders at once." Rhodes said categorically.
"Yes. Checkmate. Seeing that Rhodes's expression was unquestionable, the herald could only answer.
Soon the order arrived.
And then there were people in almost every ship who questioned the decision.
"Are we trying to escape?"
"Why give such an order? This clearly wants us to be deserters. ”
"Nima, we're going to be deserters again. What kind of face will we have to face the rest of the people in the future? ”
"What a wreck! If you follow a fleeing general, you can only desert again and again. ”
Rhodes knew that his order would cause many people not to understand. But he firmly believes that his choice is the most correct.
He's not like an ordinary soldier. The ordinary soldier saw the heroism of the Grant, but he saw the danger of the destruction of the Seventh Fleet.
Because of the sneak attack, the Seventh Fleet was already inferior to its opponents in numbers. And now it has been rushed to the front by the opponent's fighter group and mechas, and it has completely fallen into a melee.
Don't look at the Grant is rushing forward. But the Arrahan fleet was covering the Seventh Fleet with wave after salvo. And it's the kind of artillery cover that doesn't distinguish between the enemy and me at all.
In this case, the entire Seventh Fleet, with the exception of the Grant, has fallen into a situation of being passively beaten. Losses are growing.
At this time, the assault of the Grant was not a heroic act of the horse, and in Rhodes's view, it was simply a reckless act of abandoning the team.
The Seventh Fleet is over!
That's Rhodes' judgment.
And now Rhodes is more worried that the transport ship on which the Lord Star garrison is riding is being targeted by the other party.
In that case, without the protection of force, everyone here would probably have to die here.
That's why Rhodes gave such an order.
However, his order was misunderstood by many people.
"Nima, this time, we will always be despised deserters in the future." Arlord watched his side get farther and farther away from the battle area, and smashed the wall in frustration.
"I think that's good." Ye Feng was very happy with Rhodes' decision.
"You're not a regular soldier. There is no sense of honor. I don't blame you. Alode shook his head.
"You're stupid. We are transport ships, unarmed. Let's not talk about whether the Seventh Fleet can win this battle. If an enemy targets us, all of us here will die. Do you understand? ”
"......" Ye Feng's words made Alrod unable to refute.
Having said that, the thought of being called a deserter from now on made it difficult for Alrod to accept.
"It's only been long since the battle began, maybe we'll win it soon!"
Alrod said reluctantly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that on the stalemate battlefield, a group of enemies suddenly turned to their side and flew towards them.
"I'll copy! Enemies are coming! ”
Arlord had spoken so righteously that he didn't even notice that his lips were shaking.
Nima. I'm a crow's mouth!
Ye Feng couldn't help but want to slap himself in the mouth. He had just said that if he was targeted by the enemy, it would be over. Now Nima is really being targeted by the enemy.
"Made! Come on! Hurry up the spaceship! ”
Someone began to urge the ship to hurry up. However, after Rhodes's order, the spaceship had already driven to the fastest.
However, the transport ship is not a combat ship after all, and it is the cargo capacity that is important, not the speed. Even if you are already flying at full speed, you can't avoid getting closer to the enemy.
"What to do? Who's going to save us! ”
The ordinary soldiers panicked.
"Patrol boats, responsible for intercepting the enemy."
Rhodes calmly gave the order.
however
"Report to the general. Patrol Boat No. 1 did not respond, and they accelerated and fled. Patrol Ship No. 2 accepted the order. ”
Rhodes clenched his fists with a complicated expression.
The order he just gave was actually the meaning of the broken queen.
Patrol boats are okay against normal pirate ships. Let them face mechs and fighters, and they are still a group, which is basically a no-return.
He wasn't particularly angry, just a little disappointed. At the same time, I also felt respect and guilt for the sergeant on patrol boat No. 2.
"General, let's go to war. We're ready. Someone interrupted Rhodes.
"Lobin?"
"General. Our mech squad is ready. We want to protect everyone. Lobin said resolutely.
"Hmm." Rhodes looked at Lobin, his beloved right-hand man, and nodded heavily. "Be careful."
Robin smiled, then turned away with his head held high.
"Brothers, let's go."
"Go kill these crumbs!"
