Chapter 158: The Star Covenant declares war

The Interstellar Alliance of the Solar System declares war on the Alpha Centauri system

Centauri Red Dwarf Maltese Race:

In view of your repeated warnings, you have brazenly dispatched the Pentagon Fleet into the spacespace where the Interstellar Alliance fleet of the Solar System is assembled, and openly launched an attack on the Solar System Fleet.

In order to defend the interests of the solar system, safeguard the safety of people's lives and property in the solar system, and defend the sacred and inviolable cosmic frontier of the solar system; The purpose of maintaining intergalactic fairness and justice, and maintaining the security of the vast universe within the cantilever of the Milky Way, in order to punish your galaxy's belligerent behavior, and let you stop the heinous invasion of the galaxy, I will declare war on your galaxy immediately!

Interstellar Alliance of the Solar System

June 5, 2465

Inside the Star Covenant battleship, the elf-like Titan One was dressed in a blue Star Covenant expeditionary crew costume, staring at the starry sky outside the dazzling window, recalling the declaration of war issued by the Star Alliance to the Alpha Centauri galaxy half a year ago.

In space, a large number of Star Alliance warships are gathering and mobilizing, and the blue light emitted by the engines is like countless bright stars, illuminating the dark universe.

A year ago, after 27 years of flying at full speed, the Covenant Expedition Fifth Fleet Group broke away from one-ninth of the speed of light and reached space three light-years near the Alpha System.

With the Alpha Centauri Centaur galaxy 1.3 light-years ahead, the Covenant fleet is on high alert at all times. Since the Covenant has declared war on the Alpha system, the Fifth Expeditionary Fleet will immediately form a mixed fleet of 500,000 ships and stand by in an attack formation.

Like the rest of the crew, Titan One came out of hibernation for half a year and followed the fleet into a state of alert, awaiting orders from the Fleet Headquarters in Space City.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Vajra people, the relationship between the Covenant and the Centauri has deteriorated dramatically. The first is that the Alpha system asks the Covenant fleet to withdraw to the solar system. After being rejected by the Covenant, the Alpha System immediately declared war on the Covenant and threatened to dispatch a pentagonal fleet into the airspace where the Covenant warships were assembled to destroy the Covenant fleet. As a last resort, the Covenant had to end its centuries-long policy of forbearance and declare war on the Centauri Galaxy.

On the day the Covenant declared war on the Centauri system, the Maltese Pentagon Fleet reacted by dispatching a fleet of 200,000 ships at one-ninth of the speed of light towards the Covenant fleet's assembly site, posing for war with the Covenant fleet. At the speed of the Pentagon fleet, even if the Covenant fleet stood still, the two fleets would meet in 11 years and 7 months.

For a moment, the situation suddenly became tense. With the Pentagon fleet already dispatched, a clash between the Covenant fleet and the Centauri is inevitable.

Perhaps the Covenant's top brass is considering it carefully and does not intend to order the fleet to move forward rashly. It has been half a year since the declaration of war on the constellation Centauri, and the fleet has not yet received a new order from the Beacon Space City to continue to establish a defensive position in the airspace three light-years outside the solar system.

After a long time.

The pensive Titan One withdrew his gaze from the glare window, walked to the holographic mirror in the room, and began to organize his clothes and equipment in front of himself in the mirror.

Seeing the fair-skinned girl with blonde hair and shawl, pointed ears and curved eyebrows in the mirror, a mischievous smile appeared on the pretty face of Titan No. 1 out of the water, and her eyebrows, which were originally slightly wrinkled, instantly stretched out like spring melting snow. At this moment, she was a little excited, judging from the transfer of the Star Alliance warship just now, it seemed that the order from her superiors was about to be issued, and it was not far from time to advance in the direction of the mainland of the Centauri galaxy.

In Titan One's heart, finding his brother from afar has always been the most important thing. Before the fleet departed from the solar system, she sensed that her brother Smart Brush One was in danger. And after 27 years of dormancy in the battleship, she found that she was closer to her brother, and now the smart brush No. 1 seemed to be out of the dark and dangerous space.

What made her anxious was that she had thought that the Covenant battleship would continue to advance in the direction of Centauri, so that she could see her brother who had been appearing in her dreams earlier, while the fleet had been wandering in the airspace of this area.

From the moment he woke up from hibernation, Titan One, like the tens of millions of crew members in the battleship, hoped that the fleet would move forward as soon as possible and join the war against the Pentagon fleet.

More than half a year has passed, and the Covenant has not received an order to move forward, except for declaring war on Centaur. Since there had been no large-scale war in hundreds of years, the Covenant crews, who were confident in the strength of their own warships, were undoubtedly extremely tormented to wait for them to be unable to meet the enemy immediately.

Titan One straightened the collar of its blue space suit and looked away from the hologram. There is still a smile on his face, and he is clearly happy with his current state.

As the latest generation of genetic cloning crew members of the Star Alliance, she not only received interstellar warship command and control training, but also trained in the most serious training subjects, including the greenhouse effect, the Venus landing confrontation training with sulfuric acid rain and a toxic atmosphere all the time; Even Mercury, which is closest to the Sun and has a high temperature of 427 ° C during the day and a low temperature of -173 ° C at night, is also a planet where fleet members land for combat training.

After rigorous training, Titan One has strong combat capabilities, even if she is required to fly a fighter jet, command a battleship in the air, or land on a planet with an extremely bad environment, Titan One and the fleet elite can do it.

What's even more special is that she also has the ability to override matter and energy, and belongs to the elite of the elite in the fleet.

Since the Covenant allowed clones with Maltese genes to enter the fleet, the number of members of the expeditionary fleet with both Maltese and human genes has reached 100,000.

Among the tens of millions of genetically enhanced expeditionary armies, these well-trained warriors possess a variety of abilities, but they are not found to be able to control matter and energy at the same time. Therefore, Titan One, as a different kind of other, is treated much better than other recruits.

"Attention, the entire crew will immediately go to sleep, and the fleet will begin to accelerate in an hour, entering a nineths of the speed of light cruise mode!"

Sure enough, Titan One had just finished packing up, and the figure of the fleet commander, General Gao Hu, appeared on the holographic projection.

General Gao Hu was originally part of the Centauri, but after the Covenant established diplomatic relations with the King Kongs, he was appointed as the commander of the Outer Fleet, commanding the Fifth Expeditionary Fleet to Centaur.

"Towards the Centaur and take on the Pentagon fleet!"

"Sail to the Alpha System and defeat the Maltese!"

As soon as General Gao Hu's words fell, a thunderous slogan immediately sounded in the battleship.

"The fleet is finally leaving, I'll send a video message to my mother."

Titan One muttered to himself, turned around and walked towards the interstellar quantum communication center of the space-time prison family in the battleship.

The interstellar communication center is crowded, and countless holographic projections are flashing. The crew members who arrived in advance are saying goodbye to their relatives in different planetary cities and space cities in the solar system before hibernation.

After decades away from their loved ones, some recruits left tears, some saw their families laughing happily, some listened to their family's earnest advice, and some complained to each other about the pain of lovesickness.....

Titan-1 passed through the holographic projections that were communicating, came to the still empty projection area, and began to dial the key to the address of the quantum interstellar communication link far away on Mars.

"The Mars link address key is being connected, please wait." After entering the address of your home, a gentle prompt sound came from the Titan One head loudspeaker.

"Child, how is life in the fleet, can you get used to it?"

After the holographic projection area shook for a while, the figure of Dr. Monica appeared in the projection area, looked at Titan One with concerned eyes, and asked softly.

"I'm fine, Mom, you have to take care of your rest."

Titan One looked at his mother in front of him, tears were rolling in her eyes, she was really a little homesick. Twenty-seven years have passed since following the Star Alliance fleet expedition. I don't know how my mother, grandfather, and grandmother are doing on Mars.

However, judging from the mother's face in the holographic projection, although she is nearly seventy years old, she looks as young as when she was separated, and the years have not left much vicissitudes on her mother's face.

"Kid, I heard that the Covenant has declared war on Centaur, did you hear about your brother?" Dr. Monica looked worried when he saw his daughter, who was heavily armed.

"Don't worry, Mom, with the protection of the Covenant's powerful fleet, my brother and I will be fine." Titan One deliberately showed a light-hearted smile.

"Child, take care of yourself, come back when you find your brother, and your mother is waiting for you on Mars." Dr. Monica sighed and admonished again.

"Attention all crew, the hibernation countdown is about to begin, please quickly return to your dormant pod!" A sound is heard on the announcer that the hibernation countdown is about to begin.

"Mom, I'm going to hang up, say hello to my grandparents on my behalf." Titan One wanted to ask about his grandparents' lives, but had to disconnect.
