Chapter 281: Drifting Away

"Report sir, there's the White Rock Fortress ahead, and it's expected to arrive in three hours."

Nie Yan sat in the command seat in the bridge, listening to the soldier's report while discussing the next course of action with the staff next to him.

According to the results of everyone's discussion, the first step was to take the White Stone Base first, and then march to the Ice Peak Base.

One of his staff suggested to Nie Yan that he call Che Kuang to the flagship and ask, after all, he knew the most about the situation at the White Rock Fortress.

Nie Yan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Do you think I haven't called it?" But he said that he is not a member of the Mammoth Army at the moment, and he will only be able to go to my flagship when he is qualified in the future. ”

The staff also laughed when they heard this, and said, "Look at him, he is eager to seek officials!" ”

Nie Yan said: "This is just one aspect, in addition, this person has a good face, probably because he is afraid that I will give him an official directly, and others will gossip." But that's fine, when I return from winning this expedition, I will give him an official position, and everyone will be convinced. ”

"In that case, I can only ask him by video conference." Said the staff.

"So be it."

Not long after, Che Kuang appeared on the big screen, and Nie Yan asked with a smile: "Lieutenant Colonel Che, are you okay over there?" ”

Che Kuang replied: "Everything is going well, I don't know what the chief commander commands?" ”

Nie Yan said: "I have a few questions about the White Stone Fortress I want to ask you, I don't know how many garrisons there are in the White Stone Fortress now?" What about the performance of the main defensive weapon of the stronghold? ”

Che Kuang replied: "At present, there are about 2,000 people in the fortress, plus more than 200 people brought by Liu Yi, a total of about 2,200 people. In addition, the main defensive weapon of the fortress is the particle defense cover, and there are also eight fixed particle cannons, and the others are mechas, about 300 units. ”

After listening to Che Kuang's answer, Nie Yan nodded with satisfaction, these are similar to the information he knows, the defensive strength of the White Stone Fortress is okay against small smuggling ships, but it is very weak when it encounters a large-scale fleet, and the mammoth fleet can easily take it down.

However, Nie Yan did not intend to destroy the fortress, the existence of this fortress was still very necessary, and it would be a pity to destroy it directly.

"Lieutenant Colonel Che, do you have any good ways to let us take the fortress without bloodshed?" Nie Yan asked again.

Che Kuang thought for a while and replied: "Liu Yi hasn't been back to the fortress for a long time, and now the fortress is fluctuating, I see that many people are already making other plans, as long as the commander's fleet arrives, I'm afraid most of them will surrender without a fight." As a representative, I am willing to go to the fortress first and persuade everyone to surrender to the commander-in-chief. ”

Nie Yan was waiting for this sentence, otherwise he didn't need to ask Che Kuang at all, as long as he gave an order, he could surround the Baishi Fortress and directly blast it into a pile of debris.

"Okay, since Lieutenant Colonel Che took the initiative to ask for help, then I have to take you a trip." Nie Yan smiled.

"Don't worry, I will be able to convince them." Che Kuang said confidently.

At some distance from the White Rock Fortress, the mammoth fleet began to slow down, and Che Kuang flew towards the White Rock Fortress with several of his own boats.

Nie Yan ordered the fleet to stop not far from the fortress, pay close attention to the fortress's every move, and immediately open fire if there was anything unusual.

A few hours passed, and there was not the slightest news from the fortress, and the officers under Nie Yan couldn't sit still, and they proposed to shell the fortress directly, saving them from wasting time here.

Nie Yan said to his subordinates very confidently: "Don't worry, I expected that the car had been absent for so long, and it must have achieved results, otherwise he would have come back a long time ago." ”

"What if the chariot and the people of the fortress reunite against us?" Someone said suspiciously.

Nie Yan smiled: "How could he be so stupid, betraying me in person knowing that he was not an opponent?" Would you do that if you had changed? ”

Everyone shook their heads, and Nie Yan continued: "What I'm worried about is that he will collapse with the people in the fortress and be detained and can't leave, but ...... If that were the case, the fortress would have negotiated terms with us a long time ago. ”

"The chief grown-in-chief really has eyes like torches, and he can see it really thoroughly!" Nie Yan's subordinates praised one after another, taking the opportunity to make a big fuss.

Nie Yan was very interested in this, smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, we just need to wait for the result, wait a few more hours to get a fortress for nothing, how can you not take advantage of such a good bargain?" ”

After about two hours, the soldier in charge of the observation suddenly said: "A ship has come out of the fortress!" ”

The people who had been waiting for drowsiness immediately came to their senses and asked, "Is it a boat with a car?" ”

"That's right! It's a car boat! ”

Soon Che Kuang's boat arrived near the fortress, and Che Kuang sent a request for a video call, and after connecting it, he saw Che Kuang appear on the screen.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, I have convinced them that the officers and soldiers of the fortress are willing to surrender to the commander-in-chief." Che Kuang said happily.

Nie Yan was overjoyed after hearing this, clapped his hands and smiled: "Great! Lieutenant Colonel Che is really powerful, he said so quickly that he descended the White Rock Fortress, and I will definitely reward him when I go back! ”

"Thank you, Chief, now please come with me to the fortress!" Che Kuang said happily.

Nie Yan was just about to say yes, but suddenly his eyes rolled, and then he said: "In this way, let Zheng Ran go to the fortress with you to receive it, I still have some official business to deal with, and I will go over later." ”

"Yes!" Che Kuang saluted and said.

Zheng Meng, an officer under Nie Yan, followed Che Kuang to the fortress, and after confirming that the surrender was a fact, he notified Nie Kun to go.

At this time, there were only a few hundred people left in the White Rock Fortress, and most of the officers had already left the fortress and gone to the Ice Peak Base, so it can be said that this fortress is actually an empty city.

Nie Yan arrived at the fortress and made a cursory inspection, and then pacified the surrendered soldiers, allowing them to follow Che Kuang's men for the time being.

Although he got a fortress for nothing, Nie Yan still felt a little regretful, all the mecha in the fortress had been transferred, and important information and materials had been deleted, and it was truly an empty city.

After the fortress was slightly reorganized, Nie Yan left a small part of the army to garrison the fortress, and he himself led the fleet to continue to the Ice Peak base.

The soldiers who surrendered also went with the car, continuing to act as guides, and the location of the Ice Peak base would not be so easy to find if there was no familiar person to lead the way.

The fleet set off again, Nie Yan and his staff found the airspace map for research, because the galaxy where the Ice Peak Fortress is located belongs to the red galaxy, there is very little relevant information, except for relying on the car to lead the way, there is no good way.

While studying the airspace map, everyone said one after another: "This Liu Yi is really bold, he actually built the base in the red galaxy, isn't he afraid of any accidents?" ”

"Maybe he's done a more detailed survey of galaxies...... But if it were me, I would never take such a risk. ”

"It seems that this person does have some outstanding features, and dares to do this kind of thing that no one dares to do......"

Nie Yan listened to the emotion of the staff, and his heart was a little unhappy, and he said in his heart: "What is Liu Yi?" It's just a small fortress commander, and with his knowledge, don't build a fortress in this kind of place, it's just to hide people's eyes, where is some clever strategy! ”

After studying for a long time, everyone didn't gain much, after all, there was too little information to master, so they could only take one step at a time.

More than ten hours later, the mammoth fleet gradually approached the galaxy named RU4017, and at this time, Che Kuang reported: "Chief Chief, the Ice Peak Base is in this galaxy, and my ship will lead the way for the next voyage, please follow me." ”

At this time, a staff member reminded in a low voice: "Chief, wouldn't it be too risky to enter the galaxy so easily?" Why don't you send a part of the fleet in, and then ...... other ships after it's safe."

Nie Yan lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "No need, this is more dangerous, our fleet has an overwhelming advantage, even if the other party has an ambush, we are not afraid at all." It would be more dangerous to split the fleet in two. ”

"But ......" The staff wanted to persuade a few more words, but was interrupted by Nie Yan with a wave of his hand.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger!" Nie Yan said ruthlessly: "He Liu Yi dares to challenge Ding Kai, how can I be afraid of a small Ice Peak Base?" Dare to take risks to reap great benefits! ”

Seeing that Nie Yan had already made up his mind, the staff didn't dare to say anything more, so they could only silently retreat to the side.

Nie Yan turned his head to Che Kuang on the screen and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Che, please lead the way in front, and the fleet will follow behind you." ”

Led by Che Kuang, the mammoth fleet began to advance into the interior of the galaxy, and at first the surroundings were the same, similar to other galaxies.

Nie Yan and the others gradually put their minds at ease, although they lacked understanding of this galaxy, but the captains and operators of each ship were very experienced, as long as they were more careful, they would not be in much danger.

After sailing for about a day, the situation ahead began to become complicated, and I saw that the dark space was filled with huge planetary debris, some of which were the size of an ordinary planet, and looked like spheres torn in half, which was very terrifying.

"It looks like these are torn planets, but I didn't expect the sight to be so terrifying."

"To be able to tear such a large planet apart indicates that there has been a very violent movement in this galaxy......"

Everyone sighed and watched nervously around them, but the fleet was far enough away from these torn planets that they didn't have to worry too much.

After circumnavigating the torn planetary belt, the observer reported: "Report chief, a very large planet has been found ahead, and the volume is very huge!" ”

Everyone hurriedly looked at the screen, only to see a huge pale planet appear in the image, and there was a huge planetary ring around this planet, which looked very beautiful.
