Ultra Nebula Mine, the capital of chaos.

This starfield, which is filled with fine dust all year round, is the deepest that humans can reach in the Ultra Nebula. If you go further inward, you will enter the core area of the Ultra Nebula, where comets are active, and for humans at this stage, it is an absolute no-fly zone, and even the best captain in the universe will never be able to return safely in such a place.

Prior to Harry the Bloody becoming ruler of the Ultra Nebula, the City of Chaos existed as a gathering place for freedmen in the mines. Due to the fact that the Northern Star Field has the most popular rare matter trading market in the entire galaxy, a large number of free people who come to pan for gold live in this barren Ultra Nebula mining area almost all year round. Some small merchants who hoped to get rich overnight began to see business opportunities, and ventured to follow the freeman fleet to the mines, establishing the 'City of Chaos', a place dedicated to providing supplies and resting for freeman ships.

After Bloody Harry took over the Ultra Nebula and proclaimed himself king, the 'City of Chaos' gradually evolved into a base for bloody mercenaries. After a series of renovations, the scale of the 'City of Chaos' has continued to expand, and it has begun to gradually take on the appearance of a city.

If it weren't for Robin, if we could give Bloody Harry a little more time, maybe it would have been possible for this place to evolve into a kingdom of reading. But now, Robin's arrival has made it all come to naught. At this moment when Bloody Harry was struggling to die, he did not know that the kingdom he owned had completed the change of dynasty.

"Damn, this place is like a giant garbage dump! ～”

In the 'City of Chaos' spaceport, which was filled with gunsmoke and blood, Li was equipped with Type 3 heavy infantry armor 'Rakshasa', and kicked a rusty space shuttle deck at his feet out of the way to clear the hatch of the U-2 landing ship that was about to be moored.

Not far from him, Zoro was armed with the 'Yakshas', and he sat on a high place like a demon statue from an ancient mythology, looking down condescendingly at the rudimentary spaceport and the newly disarmed freedfolk militants.

The battle had ended almost one-sidedly ten minutes earlier, and in the face of Robin's well-armed fleet, the limited anti-aircraft firepower of the 'City of Chaos' and the few FC-3 space shuttles left behind were unable to stop the Republican [***] team.

In just one wave of attacks, Lieutenant Commander Razer's U-2 landing ship destroyed all of the 'City of Chaos' anti-aircraft fire with a salvo of accurate missiles. In the face of the Rose squadron led by Afra, the FC-3 space shuttles were all shot down in one shot. So, when Zoro and Lee landed with the landing team, they were just a mob of freedfolk armed with light energy weapons. The results speak for themselves.

However, the outcome of such a battle was actually expected by Robin, and during the time when Bloody Harry poured out, the remaining armed forces in the 'City of Chaos' were nothing more than a reserve of some bloody mercenaries and some scattered pirate groups. It is natural to easily defeat an enemy of this level, but what really worries Robin is how to quickly control the free people in the entire chaotic city. After all, the 'City of Chaos' is a hive-shaped spaceport built on large individual meteorites, and this type of spaceport has too many ship entrances and exits, and it is far more difficult to control all the ship exits before there is a large-scale escape than the battle itself. Considering Robin's follow-up plan, the blockade of the 'City of Chaos' was the most crucial point, and almost all of the tactical plans formulated by Colonel Jarvis were carried out to accomplish this tactical goal. But surprisingly, Gna, who was not in the tactical plan, became the biggest contributor to Robin's plan to quickly block the 'City of Chaos'.

In Robin's original arrangement, all Gerner needed to do was keep an eye on Bloody Harry's movements. Robin didn't expect Gerner to help him in other ways, but when assigning him a mission, Robin also made a slight mention of the blockade of the 'City of Chaos', hoping that Gerner could help as much internally as he could.

Robin had just mentioned these words casually, but he didn't expect Gerner to have such a powerful energy within the free people. During the period after he arrived in the 'City of Chaos', he quietly recruited a large number of free people from the Republic, and took advantage of the fact that most of these fugitives from the Republic were working in skilled jobs in the 'City of Chaos', and easily blocked the entrances and exits of the 'City of Chaos' by cutting off the energy supply, and blocked most of the pirate ships that were preparing to escape in the berthing bays.

Relying on the time Gerner had gained, Zoro and Lee carried out a purge of the entire 'City of Chaos'. In the face of Zhuo Luo's fierce and devouring combat style, the pirates who had already panicked were instantly destroyed by their will to resist and obediently chose to disarm and surrender.

Now, the large number of pirate thugs has been gathered by Zhuo Luo and Lee to complete the post-war cleanup of the spaceport under the watchful eye of the Marines.

Wrap a mutilated corpse in plastic wrap and carry the messy mechanical remains into the void. These ragged pirate thugs were horrified at their hard work at the sight of Zoro's icy gaze. They couldn't forget the fear that this black demon had brought them, and the bloody scene not long ago was deeply engraved in their minds as if it had been imprinted, making these outlaws as if they had been castrated.

In other areas of the 'City of Chaos', the freedfolk led by Gna have begun to maintain law and order on their own, demanding that the freedfolk locked in the spaceport remain sane and accept Robin's full takeover.

At first, there were some ill-intentioned freedmen who tried to find a way to escape from the 'Chaos City', but when they saw the spaceships that had been lucky enough to leave the 'Chaos Capital' before the hatches were closed, they could only sigh and completely cut off the idea of escaping.

Using air traffic control and forcible repression, Robin forced the many freedmen in the 'City of Chaos' to settle down temporarily. Soon, Chief of Staff Yálvis began to spread rumors that the bloody Harry had been defeated, and further suppressed the free people's thoughts of rebellion through psychological warfare.

The central command room of the 'City of Chaos'.

Robin, who has taken over the city, has already begun to prepare for the next step of the battle, and he doesn't know when Bloody Harry will return, so before that, he must complete all the strategic arrangements in the 'chaotic capital' in the shortest possible time.

"Haha...... There is a division-standard main signal tower in this place, and my job is much easier now. Christine, the fleet's electronic information officer, skillfully manages the information system in the command room, constantly correcting many loopholes in the system. In the hands of his computer expert, a division-standard main signal tower was enough for him to complete the electronic suppression required in the battle plan, and if the special star field characteristics of the Ultra Nebula mining area were included, Christine was even confident that he could rely on it to defeat a main fleet in electronic warfare.

"Air traffic control has been completed, all fleeing spacecraft have been cleared, and supervision of foreign ships has begun. Hehe...... You don't have to worry about someone going to ventilate Bloody Harry anymore. Inside the F-6 space shuttle cruising in the black starry sky, Angus reported the message to Robin.

At the same time, the old Jack, who is in charge of the mechanic team, has also taken his students Benson and Van Lunding to start the repair work on the 'chaotic capital' that has just undergone the baptism of war. The TR-735 is used to re-establish the 'City of Chaos' defenses, and he must erase the traces of the battle as soon as possible so that Bloody Harry does not perceive the changes in the 'City of Chaos' appearance when he returns.

After receiving reports from various departments, Robin cleared a work table in the central command room of the chaotic 'Chaos Capital', turned out the structural topographic map of the 'Chaos Capital', pointed to the concave terrain in the spaceport and said: "The best combat environment should be to wait for the Bloody Harry's frigate to anchor before carrying out an infantry raid." That way, I'm at least more than 90 percent sure of killing Bloody Harry. ”

"This is indeed the most certain combat plan, but we must also be prepared for space warfare just in case." Chief of Staff Yalvis marked hundreds of red dots in the structural diagram of the 'City of Chaos': "These are the areas where we will deploy anti-aircraft fire, from a defensive point of view, if the arrangement is completed, then we can resist the powerful ship-borne firepower of the 'Knife' frigates, but this is just a confrontation, if we want to keep it, we must also borrow the power of the spaceship and the Rose squadron." ”

As he spoke, Chief of Staff Yárvis marked a triangle on the star chart initially drawn up by Borg: "In the entire star field, only this channel can barely meet the navigation conditions of a 10-million-ton spaceship. So, if it's discovered, we'll have to put up a line of defense here. With the U-2 landing ship and the TR-735 ambushed in a nearby dust patch, combined with Rose Squadron and surface-to-air long-range firepower, we may have a 10% chance of winning the battle in space. ”

"Ten percent......" Robin frowned tightly, "So...... casualties ......"

"If that happens, even if we win, we will have to pay at least 60 percent more casualties."

"Sizzle! ~" Taking a sip of cool air, Robin shook his head with a wry smile: "A bloody Harry is not worth it for us to sacrifice so many people, I just hope ...... Things will go the way I want them to......"
