The Desik Empire Thor Field, the Zeus system, the capital of the Royal Space Naval Base of Olympus.

Dressed in the dark blue uniform of the Naga Federation, surrounded by dozens of high-ranking officers from Western countries, Banning strode into the base building, through the spacious and bright hall and the aisle full of electronic posters with the theme of Desik's military heroes, and into the high-speed suspended sightseeing elevator that can accommodate three hundred people at a time.

As the automatic doors closed, the sightseeing elevator soared towards the 3,800-meter-high top-floor command center like a rocket in the air.

In the oval elevator, the atmosphere is solemn. Banning stood in front of the elevator viewing window with his hands behind his back, and behind him were more than forty high-ranking officers wearing the uniforms of different Western countries, their faces were as pale as iron, their lips were tightly pursed, and their eyes were looking straight ahead, like forty solemn sculptures, silent.

As the elevator soars, the Royal Space Naval Base of Olympus shrinks rapidly under its feet.

The wide training grounds, tall buildings, soldiers and mechs running around, turned into toys and ants. As the field of vision expanded, the atmospheric transport ships that were landing towards the base airfield in the distance, the fighters that were flying into the sky from the catapult port, and the battleships suspended on the silver-white metal dock in the distance also appeared one by one.

Banning's face was pale, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were full of anger!

Desik, it seems, will always only make a fuss on the surface. This decaying country, under the leadership of the stupid Bidru royalty, no longer deserves to be called a great power.

When the royal family named their capital after Olympus and considered themselves the gods who ruled the starfield, their country's economy was on the verge of collapse. Their chaotic cabinets, bloated and rotten aristocracy, the rebellions of the lower nationalities, and the army of greedy and incompetent aristocratic officers have become the joke of the whole Western Covenant!

What's even more ridiculous is that De Sick is still unaware of people's ridicule and ridicule. They are also immersed in arrogance, and they also believe that they are the main members of the Western Covenant, and they are the largest country in the Southeast Star Domain in the true sense.

They put all their energy into the decoration of the façade. And he was so proud of it. The Royal Space and Naval Base, which looks full of modern technology and covers an area that is even larger than all the bases of the Binarte Empire, is the waste they have piled up with money!

This base is of no use other than to amaze ordinary people who have no military knowledge of military affairs at all, and be amazed by the number of mechs and ships.

Banning believes that with the use of only one Naga Federation Armored Regiment, this so-called well-defended base that looks beautiful, is gorgeously decorated, and can see pictures of Desik everywhere, and posters of handsome and beautiful men and women everywhere, and can never be razed to the ground by breaching!

"Idiot!" Banning squeezed the word out between his teeth.

The elevator stops on the top floor and the automatic doors open. He turned abruptly and walked out of the elevator quickly.

"Admiral Banning!"

Banning, who had just stepped out of the elevator, looked coldly, and was greeted by a group of people waiting at the elevator door. The first ones were the Emperor Desik, Frank, and Bidru, who hurried after receiving the battle report!

Faced with this skinny old man in his sixties, with sparse hair and a square chin, and a nose that took up almost two-thirds of his face, Banning couldn't imagine how this guy could possibly think of himself as Zeus, the main god of Mount Olympus.

Just his dignity?!

Perhaps, it was a huge mistake for the Naga Federation to choose the Western Covenant camp.

If the Naga Federation is a member of the Filipino League at the moment, attacking Desik and annexing this decadent and weak country will not have any psychological burden, let alone any difficulty!

"Admiral, it happened too suddenly......

As soon as Frank Biddrew saw the iron-colored Banning, he immediately put down the emperor's shelf.

He followed Banning knowingly, accompanied him to the command center hall, and explained as he put down the emperor's figure: "I heard from the Minister of National Defense that the situation in the A0 galaxy was urgent at that time, and the Filipino alliance was advancing rapidly, and it was in urgent need of support. When reinforcements were sent, we ......"

A Desik general quickly opened the automatic door of the command center and quickly backed away.

Frank Bidrew, who has always been high and majestic, is careful at the moment, but not anyone can see it.

Frank Biddrew watched his general retreat coldly, and then explained to Banning: "At that time, although our coalition fleet withdrew from the AS system, several public systems and jump points behind were under our control, and no one thought that the enemy would appear in the AS system." We still haven't figured out how they got here! ”

"Who gave the order?" Banning stopped as he walked into the command center, looked at Frank Biddrew indifferently and asked.

"This ...... As the one who gave the order, Bidru was a little embarrassed for a while. Before Banning arrived at Desik last night, he got the news that the Fijian Alliance was attacking the AS system, and he only thought that he could use Desik as the host before Banning, and fight with the Fijian Alliance first, even if it was just a small battle, it could show Desik's right to speak in the coalition.

Unexpectedly, the twelve reinforcement fleets, which originally seemed to be in no danger at all, were all wiped out when they had just left the southeastern province of Metis.

This crime, even as Emperor Desik, can't afford it.

Frank, Bidrew's military level is not high, in. "I am a mighty emperor. But he actually knows his status better than anyone else.

Not to mention that compared to large countries such as Binart, Naga Federation, Seuss and Jeppen, even compared to the monarchs of some medium-sized countries, he does not rank high among the royal family of the Western Covenant.

If it weren't for the population and territory of the Desik Empire, and if it hadn't been following the footsteps of the Binaert royal family, I'm afraid the Desik Empire would have been unable to maintain its status as a major member of the Western Covenant for a long time!

"It's ordered," Flac was hesitating whether to tell the truth or find a scapegoat, when Banning waved his hand violently.

"Whoever it is, your country is ready to send him to the Tribunal of the Western Covenant. In addition, this matter needs to be explained to General Sober in person, Your Majesty! I don't care about the rest. Now I have only one request......"

Under Banning's knife-sharp gaze, Frank broke out in a cold sweat and swallowed with difficulty, "You say." ”

"Immediately transfer the command of the Desik fleet that has joined the coalition forces, as well as the ports and bases where the coalition forces are currently stationed, and the officer in charge of the logistics department will immediately contact the logistics department of our coalition command headquarters to ensure logistics supplies." Banning stared at Timak and said word by word: "From now on, the coalition forces are self-contained, and they have nothing to do with Desik, except for logistics supplies - I don't want to see any orders issued by the system of my command!" ”

"No problem, no problem at all." Frank, who had already made up his mind not to intervene, immediately agreed.

Banning's expression slowed slightly, and he nodded slightly to Frank.

Although he was appointed by Sober as the leading general of the Western Coalition Army, he had absolute control over the Western Coalition fleet. But no matter how much Flack is a king, he is also the king of a country. This kind of thing happened before the official transfer of command, in fact, it can't be said that the Desik people are our fault. Anyone else could have made the same reinforcement decision.

In addition, the Western Coalition forces gathered in the territory of the Desik Empire, using the bases provided by the Desik Empire, and in terms of logistics, about 50% of the materials relied on the supply of Desik.

In addition, the transportation of other materials, escorts, and the assembly of troops also need to use Desik's interstellar waterway, and even pass through the capital of the Desik Empire.

Holding accountable is a matter for the coalition command. Banning still has a lot of things to do now, and he needs Frank's cooperation, and he can't embarrass Frank too much at this time.

Moreover, this battle is also a bit strange and bizarre, as Frank said.

Surrounded by Frank and the others, Banning strode into the command center hall.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Desik military is extremely poor, from the royal family downwards, all departments of the government are very happy. However, the command center in this Royal Navy base is very well built thanks to their face project.

The command center occupies the entire eight floors of the main building of the base, and the command hall on the top floor is a circular room with glass walls on all sides, which not only has various complete functional rooms such as the deduction room, the tactical analysis room, the pre-war conference room, and the Skynet information room, but also the latest models of instruments imported from Binart.

Banning walked to the podium. As soon as he walked into the command center, the staff officers under his command who had already arrived at the command center in advance stood up and prepared to report to him.

"How's it going?" Banning asked.

The staff officer of the report had a solemn face, saluted and handed over an electronic folder, and said in an incredulous tone: "At present, the communication of all the advance fleets in the southwest of the Metis system has been cut off, and the ten fleets sent in advance, except for the three fleets that were determined to be completely wiped out in the AS system, the other fleets have lost sub-contact. ”

The situation was more serious than expected, and Banning became more and more calm. He opened the electronic folder, looked at the description of the Fiji fleet, carefully checked the time and location of his own fleet's last contact, and then walked over to the electronic interstellar map, and quickly marked the crisscrossing shipping lanes with his pen.

"According to the previous report of the advance fleet, the bandit fleet currently stationed in the Leray Federation has all been dispatched." Banning said. As he spoke, the officers of the Western Coalition had all gathered around him, standing behind him intently, listening intently to the first general of the Naga Federation as he began his first strategic analysis after arriving in Desik.

"This is where the bandit fleet first appeared," Banning zoomed in on the 03 galaxy, drawing a Dan in one of the airspaces with the electronic pen in his hand, "Double Star Horn." ”

All eyes were focused on the electronic map, and Bunning continued: "The double angle is the most complex section of the AS galaxy's course. It is made up of two stars that are relatively close to each other. Because of the gravitational pull of the stars, the transition channel needs to turn a 180-degree bend here, jump back 1.2 million kilometers, and then enter the next section of the channel. ”

Banning said, holding his shoulder, putting the pen to his lips, contemplating for a while, and said slowly: "It is not surprising that the bandit army chose this place as the location of the attack. They should have left the main channel, silently followed the edge of the peridot nebula, hid behind the asteroid numbered AS+60 at a distance of 300,000 kilometers from the double star, and then made a short jump and attacked! ”

The officers behind him were in a silent commotion. Some people looked at each other, and some people suddenly realized. The Desik generals present were even more dumbfounded, and when they looked at Banning, they couldn't help but show admiration and awe.

It has only been a dozen hours since it happened. Due to the loss of contact with the forward fleet, the rear knew very little about the specific battle information at that time, and the staff officers repeatedly deduced from Ermeng, and only marked out the clear things in the intelligence, where the enemy appeared from and how the fleet was attacked in the battle.

And Banning, in just a few minutes, deduced the location and method of the attack of the bandit fleet! Hearing his inferences, and then looking back at the intelligence and the interstellar map, everything was as if it had been seen with your own eyes.

"At that time, the first, second, and third task forces of the Anronis Empire were located in the Twin Star Passage Channel, and because the enemy was far outnumbered by them, and the attack was too sudden, the battle was a one-sided end from the beginning." Banning analyzed with a blank face, as if what he was saying was just a string of meaningless numbers. He crossed out the three task forces of the Anronis Empire with a pen and continued: "If the rear fleet can get the news in time at that time, maybe some of the warships can be rescued. However, until the 4th Task Force of Anronis arrived at Twin Stars, they did not receive any distress or warning messages, which shows that the enemy has an absolute advantage in electronic interference! ”

"The news of the destruction of the fleet in front was sent back by the reconnaissance ship of the fourth task force of Aronis!" Banning's gaze coldly swept over several officers from the Anronis Empire and the other two empires behind him and said, "When I learned that the fleet in front was completely wiped out and a large number of fleets of the Filipino Alliance were approaching him, the rear fleet chose to retreat at the first time!" ”

A red line, along with Banning's electronic pen, appears on the interstellar map. From 66 galaxies to A0 galaxies.

"One side is prepared, and the other side is the queen retreat." Banning sneered, "So, this battle turned into a great rout with no armor thrown off.

"No need to contact them!" Banning's electronic pen quickly drew backward arrows on the interstellar map, and then drew arrows in pursuit of roundabouts, and each time the front and rear arrows coincided at a certain point, he drew a circle, and then coldly reported the number of a dead fleet.

When he finally stopped in the AS galaxy, after a long time, and when he lost his pen, his face was already iron-blue.

"The Metis system jump point is the fleet in charge of defense?"

Looking at Banning's indifferent eyes, Frank's pupils shrank, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the De Rec generals under his command.

He knew that the jump point of the Metis system was defended by the fleet of the De Sick Headquarters, and had nothing to do with the Western Alliance, and Banning did not know the details.

However, he asked this question at this time, definitely not just out of curiosity!

How dare you......

"The Athena local fleet drawn from the Thor Star Domain, 'a total of four A-class fleets', Admiral Desik said in horror. He looked at Banning, a bitter smile of disbelief on his face, "Impossible, absolutely impossible—" He shook his hand, the smile on his face became more and more ugly: "How dare the bandit army attack Metis, impossible!" ”

The entire command center was silent.

Everyone looked at Admiral Desik in silence, with beads of sweat on his forehead. They knew that even if the admiral was desperately waving his hands, he could not deny the fact that Banning had speculated all the way to the present - the bandit fleet might have invaded Metis!

"We" Frank's gaze was a little glazed, he swallowed his saliva, and asked, "How many fleets do we have in Metis?" ”

Admiral Desik, who was already weak, said with difficulty: "Before the coalition forces were dispatched, a total of twenty-eight fleets were stationed, and after the advance fleet departed, there were eighteen left. After the reinforcement fleet departed last night, in addition to the two coalition fleets, there were only four alert fleets at the jump point. There are a total of six A-class fleets. ”

"But," he said, looking at Frank's face, hurriedly added, "We still have a large number of B-class and C-class fleets, and besides, the Metis system has always been in contact with us, and we have not heard of it......"

Before the general's words fell, a staff officer was seen hurriedly running to the command platform, and after saluting, he handed a folder to Ban Juan.

Under everyone's gaze, Banning opened the file, then coldly raised his eyelids and looked at Admiral Desik: "Your liaison with the forward fleet is once every two hours?" ”

"Yes, we've been in contact every two hours, you know, it's impossible to keep up with interstellar communication all the time" Admiral Desik swallowed, his voice suddenly became a little hoarse: "How"

"Communication is interrupted, the fleet has not been in contact with your command for more than twenty minutes", Banning threw the folder to Admiral De Sick, and said lightly, "If my judgment is correct, you are going to collect their corpses!" Perhaps, you will also need to prepare a large sum of money for the reconstruction of the airport and space base in Metis. ”

He turned sharply and ordered the officers behind him: "Order the fleet to depart at once and rush to Metis!" ”

With that, Banning left behind the desizzled desikhs and strode out of the brightly lit command center with a dazzling array of advanced instruments.

"A bunch of idiots!"
