Chapter 391: A Glimmer of Hope

Although the guards fought desperately, the enemy was too strong, and there was no fleet cover, not even a decent battleship, and when the Terry Buster was killed, all the soldiers, including Lin Liexun, were seriously wounded, and the ordinary soldiers were killed and wounded countless times. Ten legions, 100,000 soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of Trine's militia, of which fewer than 10,000 escaped from Trine.

Only, this is not the end of it.

When they escaped from Trine, Lin Liexun and they still had more than a dozen spaceships. Although they are all military ships, they are not real warships, not only do they not have the firepower and protection of battleships, but they also do not have the speed of battleships. Not to mention the exchange of fire with the warships of the Silicon Alliance, it is not easy to escape.

Although they chose to go to the Western Region instead of returning to their home galaxy and avoided the enemy's main fleet, Lin Liexun and the others were still hunted down.

The next few months will be an ordeal for Lin Liexun and for anyone in this army of fugitives.

Because the pursuing enemy ship was carrying equipment that interfered with space, Lin Liexun and the others could not make a space jump until they opened the distance.

Stop, everyone will die, and it is impossible to escape from them all.

In order for the others to survive, Lin Liexun had to use the "last elimination" rule, which means that the slowest ship is left behind to cover the other ships to escape.

It's cruel, but it's necessary.

To put it bluntly, if there are no spaceships left behind, then all spaceships will not be able to escape.

It's just that in the face of the powerful Silicon Charm battleship, even if the spaceship is broken, it may not be able to change anything.

One ship after another is destroyed, while the last ship is being overtaken by an enemy ship and is about to be destroyed. Lin Liexun forcibly activated the space jump device.

Presumably, it was thought that the ship could not escape, or for some other reason, the enemy ship did not even interfere with the space.

Lin Liexun and the others escaped, but the last spaceship was also heavily damaged, not to mention sending Lin Liexun and them back to their home galaxy, even if they sailed normally, they couldn't do it.

In the absence of any other option. Lin Liexun had no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, they had already made a space jump to the vicinity of the edge star, but at this time there were less than 2,000 officers and soldiers still alive.

Before abandoning the spaceship, Lin Liexun unloaded the materials on the spaceship as much as possible, and kept the ecosystem on the spaceship.

It is precisely because of this that they survived here, but how long they can hold on, Lin Liexun has no bottom in his heart.

The point is, there are simply no life-sustaining materials on the edge stars. The food produced by the ecosystem on the spaceship can only meet the normal consumption of a thousand people at most. Even with the control, and soldiers like Lin Liexun can survive for a long time without eating. The problem is that most of the officers and soldiers are not soldiers, there are many wounded, and there is no way to get out of here.

Before Yang Yi and his arrival, hundreds of wounded had died because they had not been treated.

Although he behaved confidently in front of the officers and soldiers, he was always positive and optimistic. But Lin Liexun knew very well that they were struggling to survive.

The enemy did not chase after him. One is that it is not clear where they went, and the other is that there is no need for it.

What threat can a battered spaceship and a group of defeated soldiers be?

Besides, there are no allies of the Human Federation in the Western Region at all. Even if these soldiers go to other star systems, they won't be able to stir up much of a storm.

For Lin Liexun and them. If you can't leave the edge star, then it will be a matter of time before you die.

As for the rescue, don't even think about it.

In the case of the siege of the home system, almost all of the colonial systems have fallen, whether it is the military headquarters or the third theater command. will not send people to find Lin Liexun and them. In fact, after the fall of Terry Buster, I am afraid that the theater command has already included them in the list of fallen soldiers.

Of course, Lin Liexun did not give up, and neither did the officers and soldiers under him.

In an almost desperate situation, Lin Lixun still retains a glimmer of hope.

That is, before the attack on Trine, Lin Liexun received a message from the Theater Command, learning that Yang Yi had met the Empress of the Weaving Star Clan in the Alliance Star, and also contacted the Empress in his personal capacity to discuss the alliance with the Weaver Clan and the support of the Weaver Clan. Although the federal authorities were concerned and did not agree to an alliance with the Weavers, they did not cut off that hope. According to the information sent by the theater command, if the Hidden Spirit Clan did not send troops in time, then the federal authorities would only be able to receive the olive branch handed by the Weaver Clan. If the Star Soul Empress is truly allied with the Human Federation, and the Weavers are ready to send troops, then the Weaver Clan's legion will enter the North Fourth Region from the Western Region, and the Edge Star happens to be on the route that the Weaver Clan Legion must pass through.

This is the hope that Lin Liexun sees.

Of course, he knew very well that even if the Weaver Clan sent troops, even if the Weaver Clan Legion passed near the Edge Star, it might not stop here. Although the Rim Star is a node on this route, it is only useful for civilian ships, and the fleet does not necessarily linger at the node while sailing.

Besides, even if the Weaver Clan's fleet stays here, it won't pay attention to the edge stars.

You know, the Edge Star has been abandoned for thousands of years.

To this end, Lin Liexun made preparations. This is to use his own Origin Energy Converter to create an energy barrier in this underground cavern.

This move can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

For those injured ordinary soldiers, it is obvious that they cannot survive on the edge star, and it is impossible to wear protective clothing all the time, so they have to create an environment suitable for survival, and only Lin Liexun has this ability. What's more, the original energy fluctuations generated by the energy barrier will definitely be discovered by the outside world. In Lin Liexun's opinion, as long as the Warship of the Weaver Clan passed near the Edge Star, and the detection device happened to be running, it would be able to detect the abnormal Origin Energy fluctuations on the Edge Star. When the time comes, just send someone over to find out what the human soldiers are hiding here. Obviously, when the legion of the Weaver Clan came here, it was natural to go to the North Fourth Region to support the Human Federation, and they would treat the human soldiers well.

It's just that the person who came was Yang Yi, and it came so quickly, which really surprised Lin Liexun.

According to Lin Liexun's speculation, Yang Yi and the others would not be able to arrive in three months at the earliest, after all, the Weaver Star Clan would need some time to carry out military mobilization.

What surprised Lin Liexun even more was that it was only Yang Yi and a guard team with only ten Shadow Ships that arrived, not the main force of the Weaver Clan.

Thinking of this, Lin Liexun couldn't help but be a little worried.

Although he had never seen the Shadow Ship, he had heard of it a long time ago, and knew that it was a warship of the Weaver Clan's Female Warrior Guard, and it was a small warship. Even if ten ships come, they may not be able to take all the officers and soldiers here away, after all, the capacity of small warships is very limited.

"Uncle Seven, you have to organize your officers and soldiers, we have to set off as soon as possible."

"This ......"

"Don't worry, don't say 2,000 people, even 20,000 people can fit it." Yang Yi smiled faintly, he had already seen Lin Liexun's thoughts. "According to the arrangement, we must be the first to return to our home system and prepare for the alliance with the Weavers. The main force of the Star Soul Empress will not pass through here, but will go directly to the home system. Obviously, there's no way I'm going to leave you here. ”

Lin Liexun was slightly stunned, then nodded, but at the same time glanced at Otis.

"In addition, we need to get in touch with the theater command as soon as possible." Yang Yi glanced at Lin Liexun and said, "Because of the damage of the 'Shadow', we lost the quantum communicator that contacted the Theater Command, and we were unable to report what happened in the Hidden Spirit Star to the Theater Command. ”

"No problem, I'll make arrangements later."

The two didn't ramble anymore, and Lin Liexun went out to organize his officers and soldiers.

After Lin Liexun left, Yang Yi contacted Alun and asked Alun to send all the landing craft of the ten Shadow Ships over to pick up the officers and soldiers here.

Of course, enough protective clothing must be sent and accompanied by officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade.

Otis also made arrangements to prepare the officers and men of the guard to rescue the seriously wounded. The ten Shadow Ships all have the most advanced medical equipment of the Weaver Clan, although the physiological structure of the Weavers and humans is not very different, but they are all carbon-based lifeforms, as long as the control program is reset, the medical equipment of the Weaver Clan can be used to treat the human wounded, and such a thing as setting the control program is obviously nothing to Aaron.

Soon, the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade arrived.

The first to be sent away were the seriously wounded who were in urgent need of medical treatment, then the lightly wounded, and finally the uninjured officers and soldiers.

Although there was no need for this, Lin Liexun insisted on staying at the back.

Yang Yi was not reluctant, and accompanied him to leave the edge star on the last landing craft.

Taking advantage of this time, Yang Yi gave a general account of what happened on the Hidden Spirit Star. Knowing the shady things done by the Heavenly Saint Emperor, as well as the ambiguous attitude of the Hidden Spirit Clan in sending troops to support the Human Federation, Lin Liexun was also very emotional, but he didn't comment much.

With the assistance of the officers and men of the Special Investigation Brigade, more than 1,000 officers and men all successfully waited for the Shadow Ship.

By the time Yang Yi and Lin Liexun arrived, the seriously wounded had all been treated, some lightly wounded had also been treated, and most of the officers and soldiers had settled down.

Lin Liexun had already said hello, after boarding the Shadow Ship, all officers and soldiers had to follow the rules, and they were not allowed to move around without orders. Although Yang Yi clearly mentioned that the female warrior guards are now under his command and completely obey his orders, Lin Liexun is a measured person, and the Human Federation and the Weaver Clan are not really allies, and they can't talk about a close relationship, so they naturally need the most basic mutual respect.

Of course, when he boarded the "Xinghai", Lin Liexun was also an eye-opener.

Although it can be regarded as well-informed, the advanced equipment on the "Star Sea", as well as the various advanced technologies that do not exist in the Human Federation, especially the end of space compression, still made Lin Liexun dumbfounded, and also made him have more expectations for the Star Weaver Clan.
