Suddenly, thousands of flowers of light bloomed in that endless void.

Battleships, large and small, of different shapes, kept sailing out of the flowers of light and into this void.

As more and more warships appeared, a combined fleet led by several MACROSS moved quickly to reorganize the fleet formation after the FLOD jump, and headed ahead, the Centauri A system, which was still 500 AU away from the current distance of the combined fleet.

"DEFLOD is normal. There are no abnormalities in all departments of the ship. There were no anomalies in the warships of the fleet. Now for the reformation. ”

Mina, the ship's state manager in the Macross Quarter, quickly reported the current status to Captain Jeffrey.

"Hmm. From now on, this ship will enter the first level of combat status! Jeffrey nodded, gave an order, and pressed a communication button on his seat. This is the communication channel for communication with MACROSS Phoenix.

"Captain Jeffrey, how's it going?" In the next second, Catherine, who was the captain of the Phoenix, appeared on the main screen.

Jeffrey looked up at Catherine's avatar and nodded. "Captain Glass. Our side has entered a level 1 combat state. ”

"Got it. The warships were ready according to plan. Macross Quarter's mission, Captain Jeffrey, you should already know about it, right? Catherine lowered her eyes, as if checking the information.

"Yes. I'm already familiar with the mission plan. But isn't it too risky for the general to do this? Jeffrey was silent for a moment, but finally asked the doubts in his heart.

Catherine was stunned for a moment.

But again, Catherine had the same doubts about the next plan of action as Jeffrey. She didn't understand why He, as a general, would decide to go into the enemy line alone to detonate the perseverance that slipped towards death. Obviously, there should be more people to complete this task.

Faced with Jeffrey's doubts, Catherine couldn't give an answer.

"Captain Jeffrey. I can't answer this question. Although I have the same doubts in my heart, we are soldiers. Now that the general has given the order, then we can only obey and then carry it out. ”

"Really?" Jeffrey sighed slightly. "Well, I lost my word. Captain Glass. ”

"No, don't care. Captain Jeffrey. There is still half an hour left before entering the combat mission area, so please try to make arrangements. Before disconnecting the communication, Catherine did not forget to remind her.

"Yes."

After finishing his correspondence with Catherine, Jeffrey thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Bobby, I'll leave it to you to take care of here." I'm going to go to Ozma's side. ”

"Yes. BOSS。 Please feel free to worry. Bobby raised his hand to brush his hair and confidently gave Jeffrey a thumbs up.

As the elevator descended, a thoughtful Jeffrey soon arrived at Gnacu and found Ozma, who was speaking to Art, Michelle, and Luca.

Seeing the captain coming in person, Ozma gave a few words of fierce advice, then left the team and came to Jeffrey.

"How do I feel like you're looking more and more like a kindergarten teacher now?" Jeffrey teased Ozma after glancing at Arts, who had dispersed and examined the airframe.

"Those bastards have been abusing bugs lately, and they've been abusing them with a sense of superiority. I forgot how badly I was beaten when I met Vacura. Ozma disdainfully criticized Alter for their relaxation.

"Haha. Young people! Jeffrey patted Ozma on the shoulder and motioned for him to walk over and talk.

Jeffrey looked left and right to make sure no one was paying attention, then lowered his voice and asked Ozma, "Did you have any information for you?" ”

"That one? Catherine? Ozma was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. When Jeffrey asked this, Ozma knew what the old captain was trying to ask.

"Not only you, but when Catherine mentioned it to me, I also thought the general was crazy. Even if this battle plan has a high success rate, it will not be necessary to send a general to personally rush into the enemy line to detonate the star, thus triggering a black hole and destroying the bug entrenched in Centauri A, right? ”

Jeffrey sighed.

"Although I don't know where the General got a superweapon capable of detonating a star and triggering the imagination of a black hole in a short period of time. But in any case, I still feel that the general's decision this time is too reckless. ”

As soon as Ozma saw Jeffrey's eyes, she immediately shook her head, and spread her hands helplessly, indicating that she had no choice. "Captain, even if I beg to go to my house to persuade the general, it is better for you to go and ask Miss Lin Akemi in person."

"If you can do it, you won't have to look for it." Jeffrey snorted coldly.

Not only did He inexplicably suddenly and recklessly decide to break into the enemy formation alone, but Lin Mingmei, as a galaxy singer, rarely followed the fleet's actions and stayed on Earth to conduct a certain instrument activation test. Such a strange phenomenon made Jeffrey's heart rise for a while, and then a burst of doubt.

Ozma shook her head and sighed, "No way! Who made us soldiers! Although nominally a civilian armed company. ”

Jeffrey sneered.

"Bastard! What is the difference between us and the regular army now? If Miss Lin Mingmei speaks, our BOSS will probably send the entire S.M.S to Miss Lin Mingmei immediately. ”

"Isn't that bad? Phoenix Fleet~ Following in the footsteps of the general, I know how big this world is! Ozma didn't care about Jeffrey's attitude, and said leisurely.

"That's right!" Geoffrey said in agreement, then lowered his hat and looked at Ozma with a solemn face. "When the time comes, you and your squad must cover the general until you can no longer keep up with the general."

"Listen up? This is the order of the captain. ”

Ozma's face was solemn, he stood upright, saluted, and responded: "Yes, the order has indeed been received!" “

"Please."

——————

While the Combined Fleet was preparing for the battle, a silver-white shuttle-shaped battleship next to the MACROSS Phoenix was also making final preparations.

With the help of laser guidance, a huge oval-shaped device, gray-black at both ends and white in the middle, with a diameter of more than 30 meters, was slowly moving out of the Grider of the MACROSS Phoenix and slowly flying towards the silver-white shuttle battleship.

Among them, there are four engineering mechs carefully escorted by the side.

"Confirm that the package is in place. The fixed job has been completed, the Admiral, and it is ready to set sail. After confirming that the huge oval-shaped device was firmly fixed in the cargo hold of the silver-white shuttle-shaped battleship she now controlled, the smiling King Kong said to He Mo, who was sitting next to her.

"Well, let Catherine and the others go according to the original plan." He pondered for a moment, looked at King Kong and said, "King Kong, why did you take the initiative to ask to participate in this mission?" According to the original plan, there would be no need to use any of the Blue Fleet's warships. ”

King Kong, who had just issued He's inexplicable order, lowered his eyes. After thinking for a while, he said calmly: "Because I want to do it, I chose to make a request." Admiral, don't you want me to take part in this operation? ”

He shook his head inexplicably, indicating that he didn't mean anything about it.

When the witch speculated on the reason why BETA had been entrenched in Centauri for a long time, He inexplicably had some vague feelings. As a result, when the witch sent a "gift package" to He Moming before leaving, a task that was not considered formal was placed in front of He Moming.

That is, the star of the Centauri A galaxy will be detonated by the BETA, which will cause a black hole, and the BETA that almost fills the Centauri A galaxy will be cleared.

It has to be said that such a task requirement is indeed the best way to deal with it.

however

It is difficult to implement such a convenient way of dealing with it.

According to the combination of ultra-long-range optical reconnaissance images and data sent back by the reconnaissance fleet, the number of BETA in Centauri A has increased from hundreds of millions to nearly 400 million unconsciously, and the closer you get to the star Centauri a, the more dense the BETA becomes.

In such a situation, it is very difficult, even unimaginable, to break through to the effective distance at which the "gift package" can be sent to the star.

Originally, He inexplicably planned to rely on an unmanned warship focusing on defensive modification to rush into the interior of the Centaur at a speed of faster than light, and then the Phoenix Gundam burst out with all its strength to open up a path that could allow the battleship carrying the "gift package" to reach the location where the "gift package" was launched, and finally return to the vicinity of the combined fleet in a short-distance quantum jump and evacuate again.

But at the moment of making a decision, King Kong suddenly took the initiative to ask to follow He Inexplicably to break into the interior of the Centauri A galaxy and detonate the gift package.

outcome

Although He had some concerns, but at the insistence of Lin Mingmei, as well as Lisa Kujou, and others, he finally agreed to King Kong's request to act together.

In fact, according to the current scientific and technological level of the blue ship, it is indeed much more than the unmanned warship that is reinforced in a hurry. Whether it is the Klein force field or its own nanotechnology, it should be able to hold on to the moment the "gift package" is detonated.

It's just...

"King Kong, maybe this ship may be lost." Considering the various accidents, He inexplicably felt the need to keep another option to detonate the "gift pack". That is to use this battleship as a carrier, directly rush to the effective distance, and thus detonate.

In this way, it is much safer to be intercepted by those cosmic betas with light-level abilities than to launch the "gift pack".

For He inexplicably showing apologies, King Kong shook his head slightly.

"Don't say that. Admiral. It's just a ship. As long as there are enough nanomaterials, there are as many ships as you want. Speaking of this, the corners of King Kong's mouth moved, and he seemed to be a little hesitant, and two blush faintly flew on his face. Only... As long as you can... Help..."

however

King Kong didn't finish his sentence when he was interrupted by the sudden alarm.

The CROSS Phoenix at the top managed to attract the BETA on the periphery of Centauri A.

"It's coming!! Vajra! Prepare to accelerate. Leave it to Catherine and them! ”

"Yes! Understand!! Klein Force Field, Unfold! ”

"Faster-than-light engine, start!!"
