Three hours ago, Earth

At the same time that Paraná received the intimidating image of Chrisselis, the United Earth Council also received the image of Chrisselis's declaration of war. It is not so much a declaration of war as a provocation. Chrissellus threatens to attack Earth with all his forces, but before Earth can reply, he cuts off the video. Chairman Marshall did not dare to slack off and ordered the Fourth Fleet stationed on Mars to reinforce the Earth.

It's okay not to give an order, but the problem was discovered as soon as the order was given. The Earth side suddenly discovered that the communication system was malfunctioning. This was a bad thing for Marshall. In desperation, he had to send a spacecraft to Mars to deliver the message. There is the First Fleet left on Earth, and the Second Fleet is stationed at the base on the Moon. With the addition of the Fourth Fleet on Mars, Marshall was convinced that Chrissles' attack would be a failure. Although there is no fear, the procedure still has to go through. Marshall decided to convene an emergency meeting of the United Earth Council.

The United Earth Council was founded in 2659 AD. It is a global organization, and its establishment declares that humanity has completely rejected the contradictions and divisions between nations. In the history of mankind, there has been an international organization called the United Nations. But since humanity entered the interstellar age, the United Nations has been unable to reach the colonies of various countries, and in fact the organization has collapsed. In 2657 AD, an American manned spacecraft landed on Enceladus in an attempt to open up a new colony. Unexpectedly, I encountered an endless number of bugs. This is the origin of Chrisselis's war with Earth. In the past two years, the colonies of the United States, China, Russia, Japan and other countries in the solar system have fallen one after another, and mankind has once again realized the importance of unity. In 2659 AD, the most important military base of mankind, Mars, fell, an event that made mankind determined to unite, and the United Earth Council was born. The United Earth Council meeting consists of seven countries, namely the United States, China, Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Japan. After the joint efforts and bloody struggle of all countries, Mars was recovered and regained its important role.

The United Earth Council is the highest authority on the planet, and all the countries on the planet are members. In the decades since its establishment, mankind has carried out a variety of science and technology, information sharing, and a high degree of openness to trade, and the earth has a great tendency to become one. This is unprecedented in the history of mankind, when nations put aside prejudice and hatred and join forces to fight for the future of humanity.

There are three major bodies under the United Earth Council. United Earth Fleet, Earth Defense Force, Earth's Supreme Academy of Sciences. The United Earth Fleet consists of six sub-fleets, commanded by Marshall, Chairman of the United Earth Council. The Earth Defense Force is responsible for the defense of the Earth and its perimeter. The Academy of Military Sciences, the Academy of Natural Sciences, and the Academy of Social Sciences are the top scientific research institutions on the planet.

At that moment, Marshall convened an emergency meeting, and the president of the Supreme Academy of Sciences, one of the directors, happened to be not on Earth, and was replaced by Rambo, the president of the Academy of Military Sciences. The meeting was a formality, and the seven directors voted unanimously to recall the Fourth Fleet, and the meeting was summarily disbanded. After the meeting, Marshall left Rambo and asked him to solve the communication problem.

At this time, Marshall did not realize the seriousness of the problem. In his usual style, he thought it was just an ordinary invasion that the three fleets could withstand. Little did he know, however, that Chrisselis had only attacked the West, and that their large forces had already attacked Io, who was fifteen thousand light-years away.

Ten minutes later, the Fourth Fleet arrived, and as soon as it was in outer orbit on Earth, the fleet's radar detected a fleet of Chrisselis slaughtering the Earth. The number was about half of the total strength of Chrisselis.

Beat! Earth's fleet is also halfway there, and with the ground firepower of Earth and Moon bases, Marshall does not believe that this battle cannot be won. The civilian population on the ground has been evacuated, and the earth has been turned into a strong fortress.

The communication system was still not repaired, and Marshall was not impressed. If the communication system can't be repaired, just use the folding technology to send the spacecraft to convey it. His entire mind was now on the other half of Christles' fleet. Although Chrisselis was afraid that Earth would raid their home planet with the Hop technique, he was afraid to go all out, but it was possible that a small fleet would sneak up on Earth or which colony it would. As a politician, he doesn't quite understand the truth that the virtual is real and the real is false. He didn't expect that this time Chrisseris would really come out of the nest. Marshall sent herald ships to every colony and military base in the solar system, but ignored the distant Io. His habitual thinking told him how it was possible for Chrissellus to run so far.

That's where something happened. For the sake of communication security, each fleet has its own set of passwords, which are exchanged only in the event of joint operations. The United Earth Council holds all six sets of passwords. This may seem like a hassle, but it can improve security compared to a few minutes of delay. Therefore, in normal times, the fleets are only connected to the earth, and there is no information exchange between the fleets. The signal sent by Paraná cannot be received by Earth, and it is impossible to send a spacecraft to Earth to report the message. Earth, for its part, did not consider the possibility of an attack on Io at all, and did not send a spaceship.

Chrissles' fleet first came into contact with the Moon's Second Fleet, and the Fourth Fleet rushed to support. The two fleets combined the firepower of the lunar base to fight the Krisselis fleet on par. The First Fleet charged the Leap Device and prepared to find the right moment to cut into the battlefield and catch the enemy by surprise.

At this moment, a small fleet that had not been detected before suddenly appeared from the other direction, and Marshall, who had expected it, ordered the First Fleet to meet it. As for how this fleet deceived the Earth's radar and why it suddenly appeared, Marshall did not delve into it. He was completely intoxicated with the pride of believing that he had seen through the enemy's schemes.

As the battle lasted for an hour, Chrisselis's sneak forces were wiped out, but Earth's frontal forces were in decline. The First Fleet turned to support, and it was again inextricably linked.

After another hour or so, with the three fleets and ground firepower, the superiority and disadvantage had been reversed, and the Earth fleet had a slight advantage. Suddenly, Chriselus's entire fleet turned its bow and fled at full speed towards Saturn, as if premeditated.

Marshall didn't think much about it, he just remembered a famous saying from the Chinese, it is advisable to chase after the poor Kou, so he ordered the pursuit.

The communication system is still unusable, and no one knows where they are in the pursuit of the three fleets, and they can't even send the spaceship, so they have cut off contact with the earth.

Just a few minutes before Paraná made the leap back to the moon base, something happened. The three fleets had been out in pursuit of the Chrisselis fleet for nearly half an hour, and there was no news at all. Marshall was a little worried, and he began to worry that the enemy had set up an ambush in front of him, trying to wipe out the three fleets of Earth in one fell swoop. But he thought about it, even if he was ambushed, he wouldn't even be able to pass on the news, maybe it was just that they were busy chasing and neglected the battle report.

Before his heart could hit the ground, a shattered spaceship leaped into the Earth's atmosphere, and the exposed dilapidated cabin instantly burst into flames due to contact with oxygen. The ship landed on the base crookedly, as if using all its strength. Before he could stop, the hatch slammed open, and a soldier stumbled towards the ground support center, and before he could take a few steps, he fell headlong to the ground and swallowed his breath.

The Operations Command Center immediately parsed the herald's personal terminal and found a piece of information. This information was immediately classified as top secret and presented to Marshall.

This message was sent by Admiral Yamamoto, commander of the Fourth Fleet, in just two short sentences: "Our fleet has encountered a sickle. Long live the Earth. ”

A few minutes later, Paraná's Third Fleet landed on the moon, and nothing but devastated bases and debris filled the sky awaited him.
