Although he was resolutely opposed at first, after the opposition was fruitless, Barnes could only retreat and offer to join the vanguard under the command of Yang Yi himself. For this reason, Barnes put forward a reason that Yang Yi could not refute. He was the only one who could get the information provided by the Hidden Spirits, and the vanguard definitely needed timely and accurate information, so he should not be left out of the situation under any circumstances.

This reason is very sufficient, and Yang Yi really can't refute it. It's just that Yang Yi didn't plan to let Barnes move with the big army. Very simply, when Shen Chengwen resolutely refused to stay and lead the expeditionary force, Yang Yi could only hand over the command of the expeditionary force to Ke Mingcong, who replaced Yuyang and served as the chief of staff of the expeditionary force. Although Ke Mingcong has participated in the battle between Slag Star and Beacon Mars, he can be regarded as a veritable veteran and a real warrior, but his reputation is not big enough, and he is only a major, so he obviously does not have much right to speak. There is no problem with him commanding the expeditionary force, after all, the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force are all Yang Yi's subordinates. But it was obviously difficult for him to face the prince of the Hidden Spirit Clan.

After making arrangements, Yang Yi set off with the vanguard.

The so-called "vanguard force" is actually the special investigation brigade, to be precise, the special reconnaissance brigade that has been strengthened again, that is, it includes the main officers drawn from various regiments. According to Yang Yi's requirements, all officers and soldiers in the vanguard must be at least tenth-level soldiers, and the officers are all soldiers, and it is best to have space storage devices in order to carry additional supplies and improve their ability to continue fighting. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of the Special Investigation Brigade are at least Level 10 soldiers, and almost all of the veterans, that is, those soldiers who originally belonged to the Special Investigation Brigade, have space storage. As for the recruits who joined later, their combat power is not bad, all that is missing is a space storage.

Because there were less than 10,000 officers and soldiers in total, Yang Yi did not use the warships of the expeditionary force.

There is no need for this. Because one "Star Sea" is enough.

There was no drag from the large forces, and there were no other concerns, and the powerful performance of the "Xinghai" was put to use. Using the route data provided by Barnes, the distance of each space jump of the "Star Sea" is more than 100 light-years, and after completing the space jump, it only makes a short stop before making the next space jump. In other words, the "Star Sea" can make two space jumps a day. At this rate. Fly out of the Greenwich meteorite belt and into the North Alpha system, which is about 6,000 light-years and only a month at most.

Of course, during the voyage, the "Xinghai" will contact the rear fleet from time to time.

Luckily, it was a smooth ride. Although there were some minor troubles, they were not a big deal, mainly because the situation on the route was different from the information provided by the Hidden Spirit Clan. For the "Xinghai", which has the ability to sail independently, such a small problem is not a problem at all.

One month. It's not too long.

During this period, the most Yang Yi did was to train with his officers and soldiers. In fact, Yang Yi's main purpose was to transform the original energy converter used by his officers and soldiers. Although Yang Yi gave most of the original crystals to Yu Linglong in order to make a small primordial energy converter, he left some behind. Because Barnes couldn't know about the existence of the original crystal, let alone that he could use the original crystal to increase the output power of the original energy converter, Yang Yi could only transform the original energy converter of the officers and soldiers when he was training with the officers and soldiers. For the battle that will be faced next. Including Yang Yi, the combat strength of any officer and soldier is crucial.

What surprised Yang Yi was a little. Barnes is also positive.

During this month, Barnes not only put down his body and took the initiative to train with the officers and soldiers under Yang Yi, but also taught some advanced combat skills according to the specific conditions of the officers and soldiers. Perhaps to Barnes, these skills are nothing, but to human soldiers. The combat skills from the Hidden Spirit Clan must be extraordinary. You must know that there are only two ways for soldiers to improve their combat power, one is to obtain a better Origin Energy Converter, and the other is to master stronger combat skills. For thousands of years, the Galactic Alliance's strongest combat skills have been in the hands of top civilizations. Including the Human Federation. The skills mastered by other civilizations are all from the top civilizations. Obviously, for human soldiers, a set of combat skills from a top-tier civilization is simply priceless. It can even be said that in order to obtain combat skills from top civilizations, many people will kill their heads and blood.

Barnsken taught the Hidden Spirit Clan's combat skills, and naturally no one would refuse.

Before you know it, a month has passed.

On this day, Yang Yi and Lin Feng were training with several soldiers, and Shen Chengwen hurried over. Noticing Shen Chengwen's expression, Yang Yi knew that the "Xinghai" had reached its destination, to be precise, it flew out of the Greenwich meteorite belt and entered the North Alpha Galaxy.

When Yang Yi and the others came to the command center, the "Xinghai" was slowing down.

Ahead, millions of kilometers away, lies a lonely planet, a planetary space fortress to be exact, and long abandoned.

"'Bahn-Culleon Fortress'." Shen Chengwen sighed and said, "A thousand years ago, at the end of the 'Dawn of Peace' campaign, Marshal Zhan Ruilin said that sooner or later, the human legion would return here again and march from here to the final victory. It's just that no one believed what he said at the time. Perhaps, no one, including him, would have imagined that we would return here after a thousand years. ”

Yang Yi was slightly stunned and looked at Shen Chengwen.

After saying this, Marshal Zhan Ruilin also said a word. Lin Feng said on the side, "Maybe 10,000 years later." ”

Yang Yi was stunned again, and then he understood.

"Would you like to go over and have a look?"

"Since you're here, let's go over and have a look."

Without Yang Yi's order, Aaron, who controlled the "Xinghai", immediately adjusted the route and let the "Xinghai" enter the route around the fortress.

The "Bahn-Coolion Fortress" was originally a planet, but it was not originally here.

At the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, as the counterattack forces of the Galactic Alliance led by the Human Legion approached step by step, the Emperor of the Silicon Alliance realized that it was a matter of time before the Greenwich Meteorite Belt fell, and if a line of defense could not be built in time, there would be no way to prevent the Galactic Alliance Legion from entering the North Alpha System. If you continue to be defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable. Because of the urgency of time, the War Emperor personally stepped out and used his unparalleled extraordinary ability to transfer dozens of planets from the hinterland of the North Alpha System to the vicinity of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt. Next, the Silicon Alliance transformed these planets into space fortresses, thus building a complete line of defense.

On this line of defense, the most famous is the "Bahn-Coolion Fortress".

It's not that this fortress is the strongest, but this fortress happens to be in the way of the human army's march.

Strictly speaking, the "Bahn-Culion Fortress" was not the largest fortress on the defensive line, and it did not have the largest number of defenders stationed there at that time.

It was the Battle of Dawn of Peace that made the fortress famous in the event that followed.

Of course, "Dawn of Peace" was the later appellation, and at that time the battle was called the "Gate of Victory", that is, the gate to final victory.

According to the battle plan at that time, the human legion would use this as a springboard to continue advancing towards the land of the Northern Alpha system after capturing this fortress. In order to take the fortress in one fell swoop, and to expand the scope of the attack subsequently, almost all the main legions participated in the offensive battle.

It's just a pity that this is not a war led by the Human Federation.

While millions of human soldiers were fighting to attack the fortress, the overlords of the Galactic Alliance, led by the Wanluo War Emperor and the Heavenly Saint Emperor, reached a compromise with the War Emperor of the Silicon Charm Alliance. It was also when the human legion took down the fortress that the two sides agreed on an armistice. Although it was the Human Legion that occupied this vital fortress and opened the door to the hinterland of the Northern Alpha Galaxy, forcing the Emperor of War of the Silicon Phantom Alliance to admit defeat and accept the armistice agreement proposed by the Galactic Alliance, except for the Human Federation, the other civilizations of the Galactic Alliance only remembered the powerful such as the Wanluo War Emperor and the Heavenly Saint Emperor, not the human soldiers who fought bloodily.

In fact, even in the Human Federation, there are very few official historical materials related to this fortress.

It's not that later people have forgotten the past, but that in order to maintain the unity of the Galactic Alliance, the human federal authorities have selectively forgotten the past. Not to mention anything else, after the war, even the commander who personally commanded the battle, that is, Zhan Ruilin, rarely mentioned what happened at that time.

If it weren't for the discovery of the "Cold Ice and Snow Tiger", if it wasn't for the encounter with Lin Feng, if it wasn't for those later encounters, Yang Yi wouldn't have known so much.

Thousands of years, for this fortress, is actually just a flick of a finger.

The fortress was extremely large, with a diameter of more than 2,000 kilometers, and it was extremely completely transformed, not only was the interior hollowed out, but the surface was also covered with military facilities such as barracks and fortifications. Because it has been so badly damaged that it has lost its restoration value, the appearance of the fortress is no different from that of a thousand years ago. In many places, the traces of the original battle are still there, and they are extremely well preserved, as if the battle has just ended.

"Xinghai" flew around the fortress.

Witnessing the battlefield of that year, the traces left by those martyrs with blood and statements, Yang Yi was full of emotion in his heart.

This is not just a fortress, not just an ancient battlefield, but also a monument, a monument forged by thousands of human soldiers who fought bloodily.

It is also a symbol, a symbol that inspires future generations.

Of course, it's also a gate, a gateway to the heart of the North Alpha system.

Thousands of years ago, thousands of human soldiers came here to fight bloodily for the final victory, proving the value of human soldiers with their actions.

Now, Yang Yi is here.

It's just that whether he can complete the cause of the martyrs, Yang Yi has no bottom in his heart. All he has is the courage to forge ahead and the never-say-die fighting spirit. (To be continued.) )
