"Count the losses." Li Huamei ordered to the command platform. “Ayeaye。” In front of them, which was divided into countless pieces, men and women saluted and responded in a ragged manner.

Li Huamei turned off the microphone without saying anything.

When the communication was interrupted, as if the burned Fei Xianghu could no longer maintain a rigid image, she relaxed her body slightly and leaned back in her chair.

"Thank you." Just as she was about to rub her brow to relieve her exhaustion, a steaming cup of coffee was placed in front of her. Li Huamei hurriedly thanked her, but her adjutant waved his hand and sat down next to her, picking up another cup of coffee on the plate.

As a 12-member battleship, brewing coffee was not the job of a lieutenant, especially when she had only one arm left - the lieutenant's left arm had been neatly severed from the elbow by fragments of the explosion in a shot to the port side - but she simply sealed the wound with medical glue and went on to fight without even looking at the severed arm.

"Sugar?" The adjutant held up the white porcelain jar with sugar, and Li Huamei shook her head. Li Huamei doesn't like coffee, but compared to injecting stimulants that hurt the body, drinking bitter coffee is undoubtedly a good way to refresh yourself. She sipped on the steaming liquid while watching her adjutant's movements with some curiosity. "Half a spoonful of sugar, one and a quarter of a spoonful of milk ......," the adjutant muttered intently, picking out what he needed from a group of bottles and jars with one arm, and picking up his cup contentedly when he was done.

"Hmm-" When the first sip of coffee was in the mouth, the adjutant showed an expression of "I want to vomit but am embarrassed to vomit". made Li Huamei laugh involuntarily. Presumably, her cup of "carefully" concocted coffee is probably not as delicious as her cup without adding anything. "Ahh The adjutant let out a loud thud, and she finally swallowed the bitter liquid anyway. Then immediately put the rest of the coffee far away from the other side of the table. "So Liki usually drinks such painful things? It's better to drink. "She's never going to admit there's something wrong with her mixing.

"Jing Liji~" Li Huamei raised the coffee cup in her hand.

“…… Jing Liji. Facing the captain with a very serious expression, knowing that she was playing a prank, the adjutant could only make a bitter face and pick up the strange cup of coffee again. After she and Li Huamei touched the cup lightly, they poured it down like a pill.

Ligi was a communicator on the Kunlun and died five hours earlier. In addition, there are Lao Li, Jianmin, Mike, and Christine -- of the 12 crew members on the Kunlun, only 7 of them have survived so far......

******

The war has been going on for a day and a night.

The flagship driven by Li Huamei. The new battleship "Kunlun", which has been launched for less than 24 hours, is so dilapidated that I am afraid that even its maker will not be recognized.

Crimson paint blackened by artillery fire, half-cut ailerons. Crack through the belly of a large hole, hundreds of cracks in the outer armor that burst with electric sparks everywhere, and unstable shields that flickered and flickered...... Even if the ship blew itself up in the next minute, no one would be surprised.

But it's such a battleship. In the long course of a day and a night. But he has always been stubbornly at the forefront of the battle against the Reapers! Twelve hours earlier, the Kunlun had been scarred, and at that time everyone thought she could not hold it - but twelve hours later, she was still here! From the beginning to the end, the "Kunlun" never left the 2,000-kilometer range of the repeater -- the area where the repeater's sniper attack was most intense.

Behind the "Kunlun", there are wrecks of the Starlink warships everywhere - "Everest", "Fuji", "Aconcagua", "Olympus", four old Starlink dreadnoughts; There are also "Hangzhou", "Kyoto", "Los Angeles", "Cairo", "Budapest", ...... And so on, seventeen new and old cruisers of the Star Alliance, as many as one hundred and forty frigates. And 2,700 admirals have fallen here!

was the first to follow Li Huamei to the battlefield. The four cruisers of the "Skirian Star Task Force" blocked in the triangle area, except for the "Shanghai", which are still fighting, the remaining three battleships have all been lost! Among them, the "Budapest" commanded by Zhang Tan even disappeared from the communication network in an instant after colliding with an enemy ship and being killed......

Li Huamei was stunned for a moment when she heard Zhang Tan's name in the death statistics. But she didn't even have time to hurt and had to start the next round of the fight right away.

And in front of the "Kunlun", there are thousands of reaper corpses floating around the repeater! Twenty-one of them were left behind by the battleships of the "Overlord" class! Yes, according to the exchange ratio of the "Overlord" class to the old Starlink battleships is 1:4, and the exchange ratio to the new cruisers is 1:3 (not mistaken), this is a big victory of course! It's a pity that this doesn't change the strength of each other's two hairs - there are too many reapers!

It's an unprecedented battle around a galaxy Mass Effect repeater.

Due to the "uncertain landing point" nature of the past when teleporting through repeaters, the tactic of "fighting around the Mass Effect repeater" has always existed only on paper and cannot be formed. But the advent of the Dawn changed all that.

Due to the increase in the level of available energy, the Dawn has entered the next stage of "scientific research explosion", and countless scientific research directions that have come to the end have now been conquered repeatedly. Among them, there is the difficulty of "accurate calculation of repeater transmission". In the City of Dawn, the Dawn side has been able to limit the landing point error of the teleported ship to 10 centimeters (Joker's original landing error was 1500 kilometers).

Although Li Huamei does not have that kind of repeater auxiliary equipment in her hands, the mathematical model stored in her universal tool allows her to use the center computer of the battleship to accurately obtain the opponent's landing point in advance every time the repeater is started--it is precisely by relying on this advantage that she can really win a "repeater blocking battle"!

…… Take advantage of the characteristics of repeaters. Reaper's fourteen attacks in a row were repulsed, forcing the Reaper to retreat to the side of the repeater again and again, completely blocking the Reaper on the opposite side of the repeater!

"Captain. Please ......" The adjutant looked at her and stopped talking, but was directly interrupted by Li Huamei.

"Now that we're done, let's start the next battle!" Li Huamei lifted her spirits and said. She turned and turned on the console's communication switch, deliberately ignoring the adjutant's last words. She knew that it was the adjutant who was going to persuade her to join the retreat once again. The sniper fleet led by Li Huamei fought for a day and a night, and also won Hackett and Anne ample time to retreat.

The "Great Evacuation of the Arcturus Space Station" has been successfully completed. As early as an hour ago, Li Huamei and the others had watched the last cargo ship leave the galaxy carrying civilians on board. Next, the main fleets also began to withdraw in batches.

Said here. Let's talk about the special composition of the entire Arcturus galaxy. Although there are few planets here, there is one primary repeater and two secondary repeaters. Among them, the main-stage repeater is, of course, connected to all the main-stage repeaters of the pan-galaxy, and Li Huamei's blocking battle revolves around this repeater; And the two secondary repeaters, one is connected to the "Charon" repeater of the solar system. The other is connected to the "Utopia" galaxy (home to the "Eden" colony).

This allows the Star Alliance's fleet to jump through the main-class repeater. It is also possible to make a rapid transfer through the second channel of "Utopia", "Arcturus", and "Solar System". Therefore, Arcturus can be called the "crossroads of Starlink". The fact that Starlink built the Stanford Garden-style "Arcturus Space Station" here and then set up its headquarters here is a manifestation of this importance.

Therefore, when Li Huamei blocked the main repeater, it did not affect the space station and the fleet, and left through the secondary repeater on the other side. As for going on your own? She never thought about it.

……

"The Osaka Confirmed Crash ......"

“…… This is the aircraft carrier Einstein, this ship is seriously damaged, and the application for evacuation ......""Agreed!" ”

"The 'Hangzhou' found twenty-seven crew members. Their captain is still alive! "Please move them to the rear at once...... Thank you! ”

As soon as the communication was opened, reports poured in. Li Huamei immediately devoted herself wholeheartedly to her work. Leave the adjutant's advice behind. It was only when she heard that Lin Zhuxue, the captain of the "Hangzhou", was still alive in the noisy report that she breathed a sigh of relief...... That's great news.

All the warships that joined the blocking battle were all assigned under the name of the "Skirian Star Field Task Force" and were under the unified command of Li Huamei. Therefore, if you calculate the size of the fleet, this detachment is probably more than twice the size of the other main fleets! But what about the battleship...... It's not so pleasant. Because in the final analysis, General Hackett's goal is to preserve the strength of the new capital ships, and most of the warships that are replenished to the "Schillian Star Task Force" responsible for blocking them are old warships.

Like battleships that have lost their flagship status, such as "Fuji", "Aconcagua"; There are also old cruisers that are about to be eliminated, such as the "Los Angeles" and "Cairo", which have also been specially drawn from the First Fleet and joined the sniper battle to exert their residual heat...... It can be said that half of the reason for such a large battle loss of the detachment is due to the fact that the combat effectiveness of the old warships is not strong!

However, as a soldier, it is my duty to obey orders. After receiving the order, each warship would silently leave the fleet and rush to the vicinity of the repeater to accept Li Huamei's command. There may be grievances and regrets, but no one has spoken out. Evacuation can only be requested until the battleship has been severely damaged, or completely incapacitated, - as long as the battleship has not been killed, the ship's personnel have at least half a chance of surviving......

"Call from the Staff!" The adjutant said to the busy Li Huamei. Li Huamei nodded, picking out the communication signal from a large number of requests.

"This is Hackett!" The old man's grimace appeared on the screen of the console, and the two men on the bridge saluted at the same time. General Hackett looked equally tired, his hair was glued to his forehead, and he had probably combed it hastily before he could communicate. "Take a break...... Thanks to the efforts of the Skirian Task Force, your sacrifices are saving countless lives! At present, the information held by the General Staff is as follows: the evacuation of the Arcturus space station has been completed; The 1st, 4th, and 6th fleets were deployed; The second, third, and fifth have rushed to the solar system; The Seventh Fleet is about to block the 'Utopia' route......

Next, the First Fleet detachment will take over your work and set up a new line of defense in front of the Charon 2 repeater. I now formally order the commander of the Skirian Starfield Task Force, General Li Huamei, to ...... Permission to evacuate! ”

Li Huamei's channel is open to the whole fleet. Hearing the news that the evacuation was allowed, the various warships that had been quietly listening to the communications of the headquarters suddenly let out a tsunami-like roar!

But at this moment, the main repeater of the Arcturus galaxy turned again. And this time, the repeater burst into unprecedented brightness, and the blue light was even brighter than the star!

"Megamass is being teleported! Quantity...... Can't calculate. ”

The cheers of the sniper fleet came to an abrupt end...... (To be continued.) )
