In the vastness of space, silver-gray and dark purple metal fragments, large and small pieces, sandwiched with fixed titanium steel mesh, whole pieces of quenched steel, made of unknown metal, all the fragments are suspended on the battlefield; Orange-yellow and blue-purple flames, dazzling and dim, some in the shape of a sun, some in the shape of a mushroom cloud, some in the shape of lightning, all the flames continued to erupt outward from the broken hull; The corpses of human beings, the corpses of pilgrims, are also mixed in this garbage dump, silently suspended, some of their faces are serene, some are painful, some are struggling, as if to tell the living that only the dead can find peace in this hell made of steel and flame.

In the three-dimensional battlefield with a radius of 500 kilometers, all kinds of weapons, pilgrims' plasma shells, plasma torpedoes, human live shells, missiles, and armor-piercing torpedoes are flying everywhere, and a string of cannon bullets is still chasing back and forth in the human fleet, and from time to time a "halo" fighter will sprinkle a piece of plasma energy bomb on a certain warship; The close defense batteries kept spinning, and the muzzles chased the pilgrim frigates that fired plasma shells in the distance; The electromagnetic railgun placed in the bow of the ship spits out the ferrous core electromagnetic railgun shells with blue electric light for a moment.

These are the most realistic portrayals of the scenes that took place on the battlefield, to the point where it seems that all strategies are no longer of much use, and the only thing that can work is the close cooperation between the captain and the captain, and then there is the noble spirit of fighting for oneself and the moral sentiment of not fearing death. At this time, it can be seen how close the captains usually are, and sometimes in order to block a plasma torpedo that is about to concentrate on the bridge of a friendly ship, the captain will actually command the battleship to block in front of the friendly ship, and use his own battleship in front of the deadly plasma torpedo.

At this time, the battlefield can already be called a meat grinder. In this way, Verdun during World War I and Normandy during World War II were no more than that. Here, only one battleship is sunk, and thousands of people on that ship will die with it, and even if an escape pod is ejected from the battleship, it is just a few live targets added to the pilot of the "Halo" fighter, and often before he can go to the rescue, the "Halo" fighter uses a plasma machine gun to explode one by one, taking six of the lives by the way.

But even so, not a single battleship left the battlefield, and it was not like the previous few shocks, once the hull was damaged, it would apply for retreat and repair in the rear. Every captain understands how important the location of his ship is, and once he evacuates this position, there will be few people who will lose their lives for their disobedience, so they do not retreat, even if the battleship is on fire and about to explode, no captain will order to evacuate. Everyone's heart is full of obsession, but also full of self-confidence, such obsession and self-confidence do not come from their own erudition, but from their own behind.

Regarding obsession, Ye Zifeng is right, there are six billion people behind him, and six billion lives live on the earth behind him, and if he goes, it is equivalent to giving up the lives of others and denying the lives of those innocent people, the captains all know that they do not have this right, this bumpy and dangerous road is their own choice, and they must first do their own responsibilities before enjoying the material enjoyment brought by this identity, otherwise they will have their lives to enjoy it, There will be no real happiness in the heart.

This is with that self-confidence, this is easier to say, the captains, Ye Zifeng is really a fleet commander to be honest, although sometimes his behavior is a little out of tune, but at critical times he will always burst out with superhuman mental strength and perseverance, and will always turn the tide of the battle at critical times, not to mention Ye Zifeng's usual behavior, just talking about the calmness and talent during the battle has been recognized and respected by all the captains. The person who makes these usually proud captains look at each other definitely has his outstanding ability, and Ye Zifeng relies on his own charm, the charm built on strength.

"Sir, the central fleet of the pilgrims began to spread out in formation, and less than a hundred warships began to move below our fleet, and the remaining warships stretched out to the sides, as if to enclose us in the middle." Naoto Sakurai held the electronic sandbox in both hands, he really couldn't think of any other way to turn the tide of the battle, and even if he did, he had to pin his hopes on this young commander who could always work miracles.

"Isn't it anymore?" Ye Zifeng said in a low voice, gritting his teeth tightly, "There is no way, there is no choice but to sacrifice the Twelfth Fleet, let the Third and Seventh Fleets go down to intercept the part of the warships that escaped, as for the frontal enemy, the Twelfth Fleet will bear it alone." ”

"Sir・・・・・・" Naoto Sakurai looked at Ye Zifeng in surprise, it was really rare for a somewhat decadent expression like this to appear on Ye Zifeng.

"Maybe after this battle, I won't be your commander." Ye Zifeng leaned softly on the back of the captain's seat, looked at the ceiling, and the bridge was quiet for a while, "After all, it's still a step late, I really don't have any fucking luck in this damn space." ”

Ye Zifeng scolded indignantly, and at the same time, his right hand also clenched his fist and hammered the armrest of the captain's seat fiercely, making a muffled sound.

"But something suddenly occurred to me." Before Sakurai Naoto and the crew could get sad, Ye Zifeng suddenly sat up straight.

"What's the matter?" Naoto Sakurai seems to see hope.

"Where is the land of the dead?" Ye Zifeng pinched his chin and made a contemplative state.

"The Land of the Dead? What is that? Sakurai Naoto subconsciously stood on end with hairs all over his body, after all, such a term is still quite terrifying.

"The land of the dead, that's just the name of the Chinese, he called ・・・・・・ 'Nibelungen' in Norse mythology!" Ye Zifeng raised his head suddenly, and just before Ye Zifeng's words fell, a crew member shouted urgently:

"There is an abnormal space quantum microwave turbulence phenomenon in front of the Twelfth Fleet, and there are people, and there are warships moving forward to break through the quantum microwave interference arranged by the ground command center."

"Pay attention immediately, check the high-dimensional energy that spills out when the fault exit is opened, and identify whether it is friend or foe." Naoto Sakurai immediately gave the order, and the surprise on his face had completely turned serious. If the comer is a friendly army, it is naturally easy to say, not only can the battle line be consolidated, but it is even possible to collapse this wave of attacks in one go, but if it is the pilgrim who jumps out of the fault space, then the situation is self-evident, even if this time the attack is repelled by luck, it also shows that the pilgrim has mastered the technology of tearing apart the quantum microwave interference, and if it is covered, the fleet's activity space will have to be reduced to the orbit of the moon, and the place where the invading pilgrims will be carried out, And all of this is based on being able to repel this attack, and Naoto Sakurai is really a little incredulous about the idea of repelling an attack.

"There are results, the energy overflowing from the high-dimensional space has exceeded the threshold, and it can be concluded that this level of Echizen is something that humans can do." The crew carefully checked each item of data in the data sheet to ensure accuracy.

"The first point has been achieved, immediately identify friend and foe." Naoto Sakurai breathed a sigh of relief slightly, but Gao Han's heart still didn't dare to let go.

"No need to identify." Ye Zifeng stood up from the captain's seat, "That's the 'Nibelungen'." ”

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Zifeng finished speaking, an application for unilateral initiation of a call was displayed on the home screen, and Ye Zifeng said the word "accept" without thinking.

"This is the flagship of the Nibelungen fleet, the Yugartrahi. Ye Zifeng, is that you? The voice of a young man, who sounded refreshed, swept away the depressed air on the bridge of the "Stalingrad", and then images began to appear on the main screen. The classic dark brown hair of an Italian is permed into countless curls, and the blue pupils, hooked nose, and slightly angular face all indicate the perfection that emanates from this person. He is Anthony, the commander of the "Nibelungen" fleet, who was once saved by Ye Zifeng in the Battle of Ganymede.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, Anthony, how many troops did you bring with you?" Ye Zifeng did not directly answer Anthony's question.

"It's good to see you're okay, but I've come with a whole 'Nibelungen' fleet this time." A little smile appeared on Anthony's handsome face, "What can I do now?" ”

"Look at your right, directly in front of my fleet, where there are a hundred pilgrim warships." Ye Zifeng pointed to the electronic sand table beside him.

"I see." Anthony put away his smile, turned to his adjutant and said, "Let the 1st to 5th fleets pass through the 'Stalingrad' fleet and meet the enemy head-on, and the command of those five fleets will be temporarily handed over to Brigadier Marshal Ye Zifeng." ”

"I'm against it, sir." Anthony's adjutant immediately objected, his tone full of determination, "This is just a waste of our soldiers' lives." ”

"Five fleets, a total of one hundred and fifty warships, and when Ye Zifeng came to save me, he only brought thirty warships, which is one-third of the number of one hundred and fifty, he rescued me from more than five hundred pilgrim warships, and now these one hundred and fifty are facing only one hundred pilgrim warships, you would still stop me, if it wasn't at that time. Forget it, it's useless to talk too much. I formally inform you that you have been relieved of your duties, guards, and take him away. ”

"Who do you think you are? It's just a hairy kid who climbed to a high position by relying on his family. Stand down for me. The adjutant shouted at the guards who came forward from behind, and the guards immediately stopped, which made Anthony angry, but the aristocratic etiquette he received told him not to be angry easily, so he became "dare not speak but dare to be angry". Anthony quietly pulled out his gun and opened the safe.

"No way!" Ye Zifeng understood what Anton's intention was going to do, and immediately spoke out to stop it, but Anthony didn't pay attention to Ye Zifeng.

"Now I accuse you of rebellion, and according to the regulations in the Blue Book, I have the right to bring you to justice on the spot." Anthony raised his pistol and pointed it directly at the adjutant's eyebrows.

"What? You're trying to shoot me? The adjutant seemed to have heard a big joke, "Okay, you shoot, ・・・・・・"

There was a low "bang", and the blood burst on the adjutant's head, and the adjutant's eyes widened as if he couldn't believe it, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat, but he never said the last sentence, and then his body fell softly, and the brain pulp mixed with soft brain tissue slowly flowed out of the muzzle, and the bridge of the two flagships was as silent as death.

Anthony put away his guns and looked around at the bridge of the "Yugatlashi": "If anyone else has any objections, if not, according to what I said, the First to Fifth Fleets will pass through the 'Stalingrad' fleet to meet the enemy head-on, and the command of these five fleets will be temporarily handed over to Brigadier Marshal Ye Zifeng." ”

"Yes, yes, sir." In the face of Anthony, who suddenly changed into a person, the crew of the "Yugatrash" was not very comfortable for a while, so they seemed a little stumbling when responding to Anthony's order.

"Okay, Ye Zifeng, I've done what I can, I see some warships below, then leave it to me to solve."

"No, there is the flagship of the Pilgrim fleet below, and the commander of the other party is no less than me, so I will come with you." Ye Zifeng said a word to Anthony firmly, and then turned to the bridge, "Inform the five fleets to line up according to the formation they usually train, and set up a defensive line on this side to flank the enemy in front of the third and seventh fleets." "Stalingrad" and the Twelfth Fleet went down and stopped the flagship of the pilgrims. ”

After speaking, Ye Zifeng sat back on the captain's seat: "The final decisive battle has begun." ”

"Hall Chief, the results of the tomographic analysis are out, and it is the human fleet that tears apart the quantum microwave interference, there are about three hundred and fifty ships. The total number of human warships has surpassed ours, and it is extremely concentrated. A white-armored alien stared at the screen in front of him, reading anxiously, and then looked at the Woods with a frightened face.

"Damn it!" Unable to maintain his previous composure, Uelder yelled, and the irritability that had been in his heart reappeared, and he was a little out of control, "Attack the human defense line with all your strength, all the warships will be raised to the highest speed, and march towards the Holy Land with all your might!" ”

"No, Captain, there are less than a hundred warships in the headquarters now, and the human race has now gathered more than a hundred and fifty warships in front of us, which is much higher than me." The horror in the eyes of the white-armored alien still did not dissipate, "In the middle of the situation, a frontal attack will definitely cause heavy losses, and even ・・・・・・"

Ulder didn't give the white-armored alien a chance to continue, and just as the white-armored alien was halfway through his words, Ulder sprang up from the captain's seat and sprinted towards the seat where the white-armored alien was, and activated the energy lightsaber that had been held in his hand at the same time. After that, an ice-colored light flashed, and the entire blade of the energy lightsaber was submerged into the chest of the white-armored alien, and Ulde's fist had even been against the chest of the white-armored alien, and the ice-colored blade stabbed out from the back of the white-armored alien's heart, and the dark purple blood on it was emitting white smoke under the high heat of the energy lightsaber, and the ice color under the haze was even more dazzling. The white-armored alien who dared to raise objections, after a few convulsions all over his body, died of organ failure under the influence of the high heat of the energy lightsaber and his left lung and heart was pierced, and then hung softly on the energy lightsaber. The rest of the white-armored aliens in the bridge all witnessed this scene, and they couldn't help but tremble, but none of them dared to stand up and take responsibility for the Woods.

"Does anyone else have an opinion?" Woode did not pull out the energy lightsaber from the body of the white-armored alien, but directly turned off the blade of the energy lightsaber, as the blade disappeared, the white-armored alien fell to the console in front of him with a bang, and then rolled to the side and fell to the ground, because of the scorching, the sword wound of the white-armored alien did not flow blood, "Because of disobedience and disturbing the morale of the army, I, the head of the Temple of Wisdom, Ulder saw him on the spot, according to the tradition of the alliance, you have another chance to avenge him, challenge me, and win me." I am willing to give my life, but if I fail, it will be the end of ashes, and the Holy Spirit after death will not be allowed to return to the necropolis of the Alliance Holy Land. Is there anyone willing to challenge! ”

Ulder stared around the bridge with round eyes, but unfortunately, or as Ulder had predicted, none of the white-armored aliens stood up at this point, not even looking at him.

"Very well, since everyone thinks my sentence is fair, then carry out the order just now." Uld turned back to the captain's seat, overlooking the bridge, and waved his right hand forward, "Ancient Holy Land, supreme glory!" ”

"Ancient Holy Land, Supreme Glory!" The white-armored alien crew shouted in unison.

"Captain, the Pilgrim fleet is beginning to move forward, moving faster than expected, and some of the warships in the headquarters are in the collision channel, and the situation is not optimistic." A captain sat in his place, looked at the display in front of him, and reported loudly.

"Revise the expected data and tell me the shortest time frame for contact." Ye Zifeng sat on the captain admiring it, staring at the circular space combat map with a diameter of one meter formed by the electronic sand table in the center of the bridge, and the red light spot on it was rapidly approaching the blue light point.

"There are still three minutes, and now it is in the range of the electromagnetic railgun." When the crew answered Ye Zifeng's question, they added another sentence.

"Very well, the fleet is divided into two groups and is firing with all its might. The target is the twenty battleships at the forefront. Ye Zifeng's remote control of the electronic sand table marked the twenty pilgrim warships at the front in white, one is because this is the target of the attack.

"The order has been delivered, and the first wave of firing battleships is ready."

"The first wave of shooting, begins." Ye Zifeng gave an order lightly.

In the bow of the 20 warships of various types around the "Stalingrad", the dark electromagnetic railgun muzzles immediately lit up with blue indicator lights, which were lit up one after another from the inside to the outside, and at the same time as the outermost ring of blue indicator lights were lit, the innermost part of the electromagnetic railgun launcher was lit up with a white electric light.

Almost at the same time, the electromagnetic railguns at the bow of twenty warships of various types spewed out a beam of light with a faint blue glow, and the top of the slap was a six-hundred-ton sub-iron core shell. The beams of light streaked across the pitch-black space, targeting the Pilgrim ships they had chosen, and the energy shield on the front of the Pilgrim ships lit up with a large blue glow, and then vanished into countless pink polygons with the effect of shattering glass. The Pilgrim warships whose energy shields disappeared, no matter what level they were, had no ability to resist the human electromagnetic railguns head-on, but these warships didn't even have the intention of dodging, and still followed the original route towards the human defense line. If Ye Zifeng knew that the captains of these stations were shouting "Ancient Holy Land, Infinite Glory" in the bridge, I am afraid that he would be instantly happy.

"Captain, the first wave of attacks has arrived, and the effect is expected to be achieved." Naoto Sakurai looked at the large amount of digital information scrolling on the display, sifting through it to report to Hazi Kaede.

"Very good, notify the first wave of launching battleships to recharge, ready to launch again. Preparations for the launch of the second wave began. ”

"The order is conveyed that the second wave of firing battleships is all ready."

"The second wave of shooting, begins."

The large battleships in the rear of "Stalingrad" repeated what the front battleships had done before, still blue indicators, still white electric light from the depths of the electromagnetic railgun launcher, and still slightly blue beams flying towards their selected Pilgrim warships, but this time the difference was that the blue light emitted when the Pilgrim battleship's energy shield was hit did not hit. There were no explosions, no dazzling fires, and the electromagnetic railgun shells simply opened a pitch-black hole five meters in diameter in the front of the Pilgrim fighter. But in fact, although the position of this super-kinetic electromagnetic railgun shell is currently in the space behind the Pilgrim warship, floating quietly and spinning slightly, they have completed their mission.

Violent explosions began to appear in the thrusters of the Pilgrim warship, and the violent explosion arched the metal shell that wrapped the unknown propulsion machine, and soon it was accompanied by a large number of blue-purple sparks exploding, and then the explosion began to move towards the front of the battleship, and it was not long before the entire Pilgrim warship was reduced to fragments and floated in this small star field.

"The attack worked, and the target ships were all gone." Sakurai Naoto looked at the data on the screen in surprise, thinking excited, and there was a slight tremor in his voice, "As long as you do this four more times・・・・・・"

"No, it's too late." Ye Zifeng pointed to the space combat map, "The fleet has already received the enemy." ”

Sure enough, the red point of light at the forefront had already surpassed the position of the blue point at the front, and the fleet of pilgrims rushed into the human defense line at the cost of twenty warships.

"I'm in trouble." Ye Zifeng covered his forehead. The Pilgrim's defense technology beyond a century of humanity makes the Pilgrim's warships invincible in close combat, whether it is collision or ship-to-ship shooting, and the captains of the Pilgrim warships are well aware of this, so they like to fight human warships at close range. In other words, the advanced defensive technology of the Energy Shield gave the captains of the Pilgrim warships unparalleled confidence in human close-quarters combat.

"Tell the ships to work closely together so that they can get 20 percent damage when they pass through the fleet's defense lines."

"Yes, sir."

"When the pilgrim fleet passed the line, it immediately bit and chased after them. The commander of the pilgrims must have given an order something like keep moving forward, so they would not have a ship turn their heads to stop us. ”

"But if we can't catch up, these remaining seventy or so warships will be enough to destroy the earth. Even if we don't reach Earth, our battle with the Pilgrim fleet in lunar orbit will definitely attract attention, and there may be a lot of public opinion at that time. ”

"You can rest assured that they won't be able to get to the moon's orbit." Ye Zifeng's face was relaxed, "There is Anthony behind us." ”

"But a fleet that even you can't stop, Anthony・・・・・・ I don't want to deny him, but who is the truth," Naoto Sakurai hesitated, "can he do it?" ”

"No problem, trust him. Even if the fleet of pilgrims passed through Anthony's lines, there was no need to worry. ”

Ye Zifeng leaned on the back of the captain's seat, this is, the alarm bell suddenly remembered.

"What's going on?" Ye Zifeng sat up straight suddenly, looking at the space battle map and trying to find out the source of the alarm, but the red points of light had already passed through the location of the "Stalingrad" and penetrated deep into the defense line where the Twelfth Fleet was located.

"The bow sensor 0023 has detected a high-energy reaction, which can confirm that it is an attack gathering energy." One of the ship's crew members shouted urgently.

"Identify the target and attack immediately."

"No, there's no signal on the radar." A staff officer came to a conclusion after searching through the three-dimensional combat diagram again.

"I've got images here." A crew member with the rank of lieutenant shouted. Ye Zifeng clicked the power button of the electronic sand table remote control, turned off the stereoscopic combat map image, and revealed the front home screen.

"Show it up." Ye Zifeng pointed to the home screen.

"Yes, sir." The crew responded, and after a few operations on the photonic entity keyboard, they clicked enter. The main screen flashed, and a strange battleship appeared on the screen, thinking that the radiation emitted by the high-energy particles had an effect on the video line, making the extremely high-resolution main screen a little blurry.

"What is this?" Ye Zifeng asked suspiciously.

"This is the same ship that appeared before!" Naoto Sakurai saw the face of the ship at a glance.

"Then why don't I know?" Ye Zifeng continued to ask.

"You're on a mission, sir. It came when the commander-in-chief was in command. ”

"That's right. Did it cause us anything? ”

"It's not true, it's just gathering energy in front of us between stations, as if it's going to attack, but it doesn't launch and leaves."

"I see." Ye Zifeng nodded, "Even if they attack us, its existence is a threat to us, at least we don't know it." Wreck it. ”

"The electric railgun is fully charged." A crew member reported.

"First shot, fire."

The command was transmitted to the weapons control center. It was a busy time when the pilgrim fleet passed through the Stalingrad, and by this time the weapons control department had taken a leisurely moment. The sudden order startled Ye Shi.

"Really, it scared the hell out of me." also patted his flat chest, "Did you aim at the target?" ”

"Nope." One of the controllers said with some confusion, "It's not on the radar." ”

"Aim with visual inspection. I'll do this. Ye Shi squeezed away the controller, took the position, and put on the headset.

"Calibration. Calibrated complete, the first shot," Ye Shi put his thumb on the firing button, "Fire." Then he pressed it hard.

In less than a second, an electromagnetic railgun projectile has been accelerated by forty-eight acceleration tracks and discharged at a quarter of the speed of light, flying rapidly towards the target.

But there was no energy shield as Ye Zifeng imagined, and the electromagnetic railgun shell directly hit the weird battleship, but to everyone's surprise, the electromagnetic railgun shell flew out in the other direction like a ping-pong ball falling on the slope.

(To be continued)
