Five days later, the "forward" post.

A hundred fast battleships were already ready, and the officers and men of twenty legions had boarded the ships. In front of the fleet was a strange-looking battleship, which was none other than the "Star Sea". Now, it is no longer the flagship of the Female Samurai Guard, but a gift from the Star Soul Empress to Yang Yi, and it is also Yang Yi's flagship.

It can be said that the Star Soul Empress is very generous.

After Lin Feng came back, Yang Yi learned that the Star Soul Empress left her behind, not only to catch up with her, but also gave her a gift, an emperor-level fighter. Because the incident happened suddenly, and Lin Feng's "Fire Phoenix" has not been repaired, she was not polite and accepted this priceless gift. In fact, what Lin Feng needs now is a space fighter that can give full play to her strength.

It's just that, Yang Yi has nothing to say.

Anyway, Lin Feng followed the Star Soul Empress for a long time, and the two established a relatively deep friendship, and the Star Soul Empress knew her difficulties, so it was reasonable to give her a gift. What Yang Yi didn't expect was that the Star Soul Empress also thought of him and prepared a gift for him.

Like Lin Feng's, it is also a royal-level fighter.

The difference is that the emperor-level fighter given to Yang Yi is brand new, and it has been designed for Yang Yi's special situation, which can be said to be tailor-made for Yang Yi. Compared with the emperor-class fighter given to Lin Feng, the biggest feature of this emperor-class fighter built for Yang Yi is that it has a separate set of original energy drive devices. In this way, Yang Yi can use this device to drive his "Source of Life" at a critical moment, so as to make more effective use of this holy weapon and give full play to the combat power of the emperor-level fighter without being limited by Yang Yi's original body level. Of course, as Yang Yi's original body level increases and his strength increases, it can also increase the combat power of the emperor-level fighter.

The point is. This is a real royal fighter.

You must know that in the Galactic Alliance, the royal fighter plane, like the holy weapon, is exclusive to the top civilization, and it is even rarer than the holy weapon.

As for how strong the combat power of this fighter is, Lin Feng did not make it clear. It's not clear either.

Although he felt that this gift was too expensive, Yang Yi knew the character of the Star Soul Empress, so he accepted it indifferently. Either way, there's no reason to upset everyone for an expensive gift. Besides, what a powerful enemy the expedition to the Northern Alpha Galaxy will encounter, Yang Yi has no bottom in his heart. When the time comes, it is not a bad thing to have a royal fighter by your side, and maybe it will be able to play a key role.

If you look at the value alone. The two Emperor-class fighters are definitely above the "Xinghai", but in Yang Yi's opinion, this Shadow Ship is more important. Quite simply, the internal space of the "Star Sea" is enough to accommodate 200,000 officers and soldiers of 20 regiments, and it also has a speed that far exceeds that of other warships. That is to say, when encountering a strong enemy that cannot be defeated, Yang Yi can use the "Xinghai" to escape with all the officers and soldiers.

Although "running away" is a bit ugly, Yang Yi will not accompany 200,000 officers and soldiers because of this.

As for those fast battleships. It is also necessary.

These warships are all from the Yu family, and they have nothing to do with the military department. Although the military department ordered Yang Yi to command the human legion to assist the Weaver Legion in entering the Northern Alpha system. However, on logistical issues such as equipment and supplies, the military department used various reasons to shirk responsibility, simply put, let Yang Yi figure out a way by himself. In this regard, the officers and soldiers below were very dissatisfied, but Yang Yi didn't say anything.

With the support of the Yu family, logistics support is not a problem at all.

A hundred fast battleships. In fact, it is only a small part of the Jade family's private fleet. In Yu Linglong's words, she had already prepared a thousand fast warships for Yang Yi, which was enough to send all the officers and soldiers of the two hundred legions away, but because Yang Yi only led twenty legions on an expedition, she only needed a hundred warships.

More importantly. The Jade family built these small fast warships with the technology provided by the Weaver Clan.

Although in terms of performance, these small warships cannot be compared with the Shadow Ships, but they are not much worse, and they are certainly much better than the "Shadow" before the Special Reconnaissance Group. Among other things, the acceleration performance of these small fast ships is very powerful, only slightly lower than that of the Shadow Ships. After completing the acceleration, it is enough to keep up with the speed of the Shadow Ship. In addition, the firepower of these small fast warships reached the level of large ones. Even if it is not as good as the capital ship, it has the strength to fight when it encounters the enemy's fleet, at least it will not be impossible to fight back. The best thing is the protection. To put it simply, these ships have protection systems that can be driven directly by the soldiers.

It can be said that these warships are tailor-made for this "combat unit" commanded by Yang Yi.

Although a Shadow Ship can take away twenty legions, considering the unexpected situations that may be encountered, and the need to carry not only the officers and soldiers in the legions, but also the materials to maintain the legions' operations, Yang Yi did not leave these warships behind, and made a distribution.

Each regiment had five warships, which were mainly used to transport war supplies.

In fact, the most critical thing is war materiel.

According to the information provided by the Hidden Spirits, the situation in the northern alpha system is very different from that of the southern alpha system. Although it is also composed of many star systems, there are few planets suitable for humans, or carbon-based organisms, in those star systems opposite the Greenwich Meteorite Belt. In other words, don't expect to be able to get the supplies to sustain the legion in the Northern Alpha system.

Even for soldiers, they can fight in a hot environment, but soldiers are also people. The Origin Converter only gives the soldiers the ability to surpass ordinary people, but it cannot provide the food, water and other materials necessary for survival, and it is obviously impossible for the soldiers to survive by relying on the Origin Energy. Although there is an ecological maintenance system on the battleship, which can convert excrement into nutrients necessary for human survival, such as protein, glucose, and fat, the ecological maintenance system will be depleted when it works, and the converted food is certainly not very tasty. If it's just a short-term operation, it's not a big problem. If you are fighting in the North Alpha system for a long time, the supply of supplies is crucial.

Bringing enough supplies is the key to ensuring the morale of the legion.

Of course, this can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

Counting the expanded special reconnaissance brigade and the staff officers of the headquarters, the number of officers and men on this expedition was close to 210,000. Even without taking into account the additional consumption, the 210,000 officers and soldiers consume hundreds of tons of food and hundreds of tons of fresh water every day. Just using spaceships to transport them, even if they are all used to carry supplies, it can only consume more than 200,000 officers and soldiers for a few months at most. Obviously, the combat operation of the expedition to the North Alpha system will certainly not be completed in a few months. Although the Yu family's spaceship can be relied on to deliver supplies, no one can guarantee that the transport ship will be able to safely pass through the Greenwich meteorite belt. In other words, it is impossible for Yang Yi to pin all his hopes for logistics support on the Yu family.

In the cargo hold of these 100 fast warships, there is also a set of environmental modification devices.

This set of devices is provided by the Jade family, and it has nothing to do with the Weaver Clan. Because this matter is related to the future of mankind and is bound to affect the fate of the Yu family, Yang Yi did not tell anyone, and Yu Linglong also made a clever disposal, dismantling the device into parts and sandwiching it in military supplies.

With this device, after Yang Yi and the others arrived in the North Alpha Galaxy, they would be able to transform the environment of the occupied planet according to the situation. While it takes a lot of time, maybe years, or even longer to complete the transformation, it can only take a few months at most to transform only a portion of the planet. At that time, the expeditionary force will be able to obtain supplies on the spot and no longer completely transport them from the rear.

Of course, the premise is to find a planet suitable for transformation, and to occupy and defend it.

For Yang Yi, it is not yet time to think about this issue.

On the "Xinghai", Aaron has already set a route through the Greenwich meteorite belt, and Yuyang and other staff officers are making a final assessment of this route.

It must be admitted that Amy's arrival solved a big trouble for Yang Yi.

This is the information provided by the Hidden Spirit Clan, which allowed Yang Yi and them to grasp the safe route through the Greenwich Meteorite Belt to the Northern Alpha Galaxy.

Although in the past thousands of years, the Human Legion has also explored the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, and some civilian personnel, especially the daring interstellar mercenaries, have even crossed the Greenwich Meteorite Belt and gone to the North Alpha Galaxy, but the routes taken by these civilian personnel are very biased and dangerous. In addition, the size of the interstellar mercenary legions is very small, generally only one, and at most a few ships. A route that can pass a few ships may not be able to pass hundreds of warships. Before Amy's arrival, Yang Yi was worried about this problem. Fortunately, the intelligence network of the Hidden Spirit Clan is indeed strong, and this route provided by Barnes has irreplaceable value.

Of course, for Yang Yi, Amy's biggest help is to protect Yu Linglong.

On the "Xinghai", only Barnes stood beside Yang Yi.

Although she was very reluctant, after Yang Yi made it clear about the relationship, Amy still agreed, and then left the outpost and went to her home galaxy. According to Yang Yi's arrangement, Amy will go to the Yu family as the liaison of the Hidden Spirit Clan and accompany Yu Linglong. With Amy here, even if the Wanluo War Emperor plans to deal with Yu Linglong, he will have some scruples, at least he will not rashly poison Princess Xijia of the Hidden Spirit Clan.

You must know that the Heavenly Saint Emperor has already shown his intention to move closer to the Star Soul Empress. As long as Wanluo Zhan Huang was not too stupid, he would not provoke the Heavenly Saint Emperor at this time. In this way, as long as Amy is by Yu Linglong's side, the Wanluo War Emperor will throw a rat bogey, and naturally he will not mess around.

Obviously, this is much better than sending someone to protect Yu Linglong.

"General!"

Hearing Yuyang's words, Yang Yi looked back at him.

"Ready to go."

Yang Yi nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

Not long after, the "Xinghai" sent a signal to the "Divine Mother" in the distance, as well as the "forward" post nearby, and the hundred fast warships behind also started one after another.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Although the future is long, the first step has finally been taken. (To be continued.) )
