Chapter Forty-Nine: Late Reinforcements
At the most edge of the Linchuan Star Field, the long-term silence was suddenly broken, as if an illusory shadow suddenly pierced the point at the junction with reality, and jumped out of the illusion.
That's a battleship!
A destroyer with a statue of a scepter wrapped around silver thorns in the forecourt as the bow!
Under the refraction of light in space, it is full of a streamlined and crystalline beauty, like a shining glass in the lonely starry sky.
Such a gorgeous and textured destroyer, in the entire territory of the Federation, is also only one.
It was one of the royal ships of Elizabeth, the federal royal family, and it was Miss Elizabeth's car in the early years, the Silver Thorn.
It is said to be the predecessor of this destroyer, which was originally a large commercial ship from Rothschild's Stardock, and was also one of the materials that Rothschild financed when Elizabeth started the Commonwealth.
However, time has passed, and after the Federation and the Crimson Empire, the Anglican Crusaders, and even the Suzi Technology have become the most powerful countries of mankind after the demise of the First Empire, this destroyer, which has completed its historical mission, has been lonely in the underground dock of the Silvermoon Castle in the Star Circle of the Capital, and the orb has been covered with dust for a long time.
It wasn't until Her Royal Highness, known to the world as the princess of war songs, came out that this battleship shined in many multiverse civilization records, that this long-dusted battleship became famous again in the world, and it has since become the exclusive car of some maverick princesses of the Federation.
And in this life, its owner, named Aalto. Sallya. Elizabeth, the eldest princess of the Commonwealth.
It is as if she has inherited the bloodline of the princess of Warsong, who is also a warlike princess with a strong personality, and has personally experienced the end of the second full-scale civil war of humanity at a young age.
At this time, she was driving the Silver Thorn to patrol the edge of the Federation on a daily basis, although it was mostly a show and routine, but she still did it meticulously, striving for perfection, leaving no mistakes, and not seeing the perfunctory attitude of those young nobles when they performed similar tasks.
However, just nine hours ago, they suddenly received an urgent letter for help from a special unit of the Second Military Region, claiming that their ship named Icarus was carrying a piece of military material vital to the Federation, and that it was being attacked by the Sakura Society! Allies of the Federation who received this request for help are requested to provide their support promptly.
This made Her Highness Salia, who was originally a little bored, fall into an extremely excited mood, and immediately ordered the Silver Thorn to rush to the signal source without stopping.
With the Silver Thorn's far superior mobility after countless transformations, the interstellar journey, which would have required an ordinary warship to sail for at least two days, had already arrived at this turning point on Linchuan Star in the ninth hour.
Sure enough, less than half an hour after sailing at full force towards the signal source, the adjutant sent out a report:
"I found the signal of the rescue ship, and the energy fluctuations of another light warship and hundreds of small landing ships, it should be the Sakura Association force mentioned in the letter, and the two sides are in a state of engagement!"
"They've spotted us and started defending our ship!"
"Send a newsletter request now! At the same time, the Silver Thorn entered a state of combat readiness, and once it entered the engageable range, it immediately launched an over-the-horizon strike! Saliya ordered.
"The cannon is charged! A communication request has been sent, but the transponder has not been turned on, and the signal is silent! The adjutant quickly reported and made a guess: "The bridge of the Icarus may have fallen!" ”
The bridge suddenly became a little quiet, and everyone understood the meaning of this sign.
After all, if there is really an intelligence leak in the escort of important military supplies, the cooperation between inside and outside is what many looters like to do.
"But if that's the case, how do you explain the signs that the Icarus's force field shield is still being maintained?" Saliya wondered.
Before the lieutenant could come up with a workable explanation, the source of the signal on the map suddenly distorted violently!
"I'm trying to cut into the visual picture."
As the Guardian Knight enlarged a dynamic image on the holographic screen, watching the tail of the Icarus rise like a ball of light like the sun, Her Royal Highness the Princesses of the Federation and the crew on the bridge couldn't help but change color in unison.
What made them even more horrified was that there were a large number of spaceship fragments left in this starry sky along with their tracks, among which two frigates were the most eye-catching, and the wreckage of the broken small warship was conservatively estimated to be at least thousand!
Even if such a force suddenly besieges them, I am afraid that they can only be in a state of passive beating for a while.
Even if Saria's brains were exhausted, she couldn't imagine what kind of tragic battles had been experienced here, and how the Icarus had single-handedly fought against each other in a state of siege by three frigates and thousands of small landing ships, and it was clear that it had already fought to such a tragic extent, and it had survived until the arrival of their reinforcements, why did it choose to be martyred?
"Immediately speed up and get closer!" Saliya's voice was full of reluctance for the other party, and if she could, she would love to meet the commander of the Icarus in person.
"It's already the biggest thrust, Your Highness! At the same time, we have to guard against the siege of the Sakura Society's ships. The adjutant warned.
"It's just a corvette and a few hundred small landing ships, a bunch of chickens and dogs! Immediately expel them, and once they are safe, release all rescue boats! Search and rescue the survivors of Icarus! I want to know what's going on here! Saaria put her hands on the armrests on either side of the captain's seat and ordered the whole ship.
"Yes! Your Highness! ”
Inside this battleship is a private force belonging to the Elizabethan royal family, the Silver Thorn Guard, which has unquestionable loyalty to the Elizabethan royal family.
It was Izaria's orders, which seemed to be a little disregardful of the overall situation, but they were still carried out at the most efficient speed.
At this moment, an invisible wave band enveloped the entire Silver Thorn, and even though it was extremely far away from the signal source, everyone in the bridge still began to have auditory hallucinations and even visual hallucinations like whispers in their ears!
"War, strife, apostle, apostle! The radicals in the military department have really given us a problem. Saliya's eyes stared at the impressive giant on the screen!
"Your Highness! The enemy ships began to retreat! The adjutant resisted the urge to hallucinate, reported.
"Wise choice! However, whether it will really be a complete retreat is still two words. ”
Sariya deeply understands that the reason why the Sakura Society chose to retreat is probably not because they are afraid of reinforcements like themselves, but because the War Apostles have awakened shallowly, and even if they succeed at this time, they may not be able to take them away, and they will plant their only remaining strength here.
Seeing the Sakura Society's ships withdrawing from the line of sight, the feeling that made people feel as if they were about to fall asleep became more and more intense, her mind was in a hurry, and she suddenly thought of something, and ordered: "Retrieve the Silver Thorn encrypted music library, "Sonata of the Gods" - Chapter 9 - Requiem Under the Moon, play it in a long wavelength, quickly!" ”
