A few hours later.

The well-fed and well-fed few people parted separately and returned to their own quarters at the headquarters of the Combined Fleet to wait for orders.

When Yang Yi returned to his residence at the Combined Fleet station, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

After washing up, seeing that there was no emergency, Yang Yi, who was a little tired, fell asleep on the bed in the dormitory.

"Woo! Woo! Woo! ……”

Just when he seemed to wake up, the air defense siren suddenly sounded in the city, waking Yang Yi up from his dream.

"What's the situation?"

Yang Yi got up with a grunt, hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed to the United Fleet Early Warning Command Center.

"I have just received a report from a patrol spacecraft that another batch of small pentagonal spacecraft are flying into the Earth's atmosphere."

As soon as Yang Yi ran to the United Fleet's early warning command center, he saw the staff officer on duty reporting the situation.

"How many ships are there, feints or formal attacks?" Yang Yi glanced at the staff officer on duty and asked as he stared at the schematic diagram of the red invasion target in the holographic display area.

"Report to the general, there are not many of them at the moment, but this has been more frequent recently."

The staff officer on duty looked at the epaulette of the rank of major general on Yang Yi's shoulder, and replied respectfully.

"It's not a lot, but it's too passive, we can't wait for the enemy to come to the door every time, right?

Yang Yi, do you think it's an active attack to hit the arrogance of the Maltese? ”

Before Yang Yi could answer, General Liu Hong took over the staff officer's words.

"The chief is right, I also have this intention, I don't know how the new spacecraft is prepared at the moment, if there is no large spaceship, it is not very beneficial for us to take the initiative to attack."

Yang Yi looked at the holographic screen and said with some concern.

"The strength of the solar system fleet is now more than double that of the past two years. Not only are there nearly 200,000 small pentagonal spaceships, but they can even carry nearly 5,000 heavily armed soldiers, and the latest large ships equipped with antimatter cannons are as many as 3,000.

These spaceships equipped in the past six months, except for not being equipped with antimatter engines, are very close to the Maltese pentagonal spacecraft in terms of attack and protection.

As long as the few of you can still maintain the indomitable spirit of the past, with the number of large spaceships currently stranded above the Earth by the Pentagon Fleet, and the strength of the new spaceships with the combat strength of the 3,000 ships on the Earth alone, even if the final space decisive battle really happens tonight, there is a good chance of annihilating the entire fleet of the Maltese.

My only concern is that all of you now represent different identities, and I am afraid that some of you will intrigue in battle and stumble others in order to win the position of commander, and in the end you will lose everything. ”

General Liu Hong said with some concern.

At the same moment when General Liu Hong and Yang Yi were talking, Wang Jun, Zhang Xian, and several other candidates for commander rushed to the Combined Fleet Early Warning Center.

"Don't worry, chief, although we represent different countries, if someone is really in a life-and-death situation in the battle, others will never stand idly by."

Yang Yi said with confidence. The reason why he dared to make such a judgment was based on his understanding of several people when the First Army of the Earth War Knife was fighting together.

"Yang Yi is right, don't worry, chief, we won't stumble on each other."

As soon as Yang Yi's words were finished, several people who had just arrived made sincere expressions.

"Since you have faith, then tonight we will act and launch an attack on the Maltese fleet above the earth, pull out this target nailed above the earth, completely remove the threat of the Maltese pentagonal spaceship, and return all mankind a safe sky.

Dear Commanders,

I order you to immediately enter a state of high alert, and immediately enter the base of the new spaceship, fully armed and on standby, ready to wait for the fleet to launch an attack! ”

Seeing that Yang Yi and the others were so confident, General Liu Hong, commander-in-chief of the combined fleet, made a decision after thinking about it and issued an order to Yang Yi and the others.

"Yes, General!"

Everyone's expressions suddenly froze, and they each trotted out of the fleet headquarters, took a shuttle to the underground secret take-off and landing base of the fleet's new spaceship, and prepared to go.

Yang Yi ran out of the fleet headquarters building and directly into the military shuttle that had been waiting here.

"Authentication code XJLHJD005 urgent flight mission, go to Interstellar United Fleet Base 001 immediately!"

Night had fallen, and as soon as Yang Yi got into the shuttle, he gave the order to take off to the artificial intelligence driving the shuttle.

"Okay, General, Ma Shan is on an emergency flight mission, please sit tight."

The artificial intelligence in the shuttle system mechanically responded, and the military shuttle silently closed the ship's window door. A small fusion thruster in its tail burst out with a tiny blue flame that silently flew diagonally from the ground and flew towards the right side of the headquarters building, disappearing into the night sky in the blink of an eye.

Yang Yi looked through the glass window of the shuttle machine at the buildings and lights in the capital under him, which had just been restored to one-third of the pre-war level, and couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in his heart, the city now needs peace and tranquility too much.

In an instant, a sense of responsibility and mission of a soldier surged into Yang Yi's heart, no matter what the outcome of the battle tonight was, whether he was alive or dead, he would do his best to protect the sky above people's heads. As long as there is a breath of air, the aggressors will never be allowed to slaughter humanity with impunity.

Yang Yi thought about it in his heart, and while secretly making up his mind, his expression gradually became firm. This night is destined to be an unquiet night.

As the shuttle continues to accelerate beyond the sound barrier and begin to fly at supersonic speeds, the lights of the capital city are left far behind by the shuttle's increasing speed.

A few dozen seconds later, the shuttle entered the mountains on the western outskirts of the city and flew at high speed over the mountains at an altitude of two thousand meters.

At this time, in the night sky, countless points of light are flickering back and forth, there are already sporadic fires of energy weapons outside the earth's atmosphere, and from time to time a spaceship explodes into fireballs like meteors and falls through the night sky to the ground.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a huge fireball burned and swept through the window of the high-speed shuttle, crashing to the ground with a violent explosion. Apparently another patrol ship on the Earth side was shot down.

"Authorized manual driving, authentication code XJLHJD005"

Yang Yi was shocked, frowned and glanced at the spaceship on the ground, quickly switched from the back seat to the driver's seat, and entered the identification code to the shuttle system with voice, preparing to take over the manual operation of the shuttle.

"Authentication is valid, and a human-rigged authorization has been performed."

The shuttle responded immediately and used a voice prompt that the authorization was successful.

Yang Yi took over the shuttle joystick, drove the shuttle to do high-speed evasion actions, and continued to accelerate towards the No. 001 base of the Interstellar United Fleet in the night sky.
