"Captain!" The communicator turned back to Li De and said, "The other party's flagship has asked to talk to us. ”

"Connected." Li De returned.

The face of a middle-aged man appeared on the big virtual screen. Square face, rosacea, short red hair.

"Hello, Captain Lide. I am Vice Admiral Kemis of the Imperial Second Fleet. The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

"Oh? It turned out to be the Second Fleet, known as the 'Tiger Fleet', and your Fleet Commander-in-Chief really looked up to me. Li De said with a smile.

"I think you know exactly what we're here for. Your ship has been wounded, do you still have to put up fearless resistance and let your soldiers die for no reason? "Kemis spoke directly and sharply. The rest of the crew on the bridge could feel a slight shake in their confidence.

"I remember, your full name should be Kemischien, right?" Li De did not answer the other party's question, but asked the other party a question.

"Yes." Kemis's brow furrowed, his steel-like expression unchanged.

"Did you know that your Keane's Mary Keane is on my ship? If you dare to attack, it will be difficult for you to return to Keane's house, right? ”

"That's not to bother Captain Reed. Some of the family members who collaborated with each other, such as Marco Keane and Mary Keane, were a disgrace to our Keane family. The current head of the family, Frankien, has excluded those people from the family. Kemis said impersonally.

Kemis's words were also transmitted to Mary Keane, who was isolated in solitary condition, through the ship's communication system.

Mary Keane had been on the Frost Hunt for a long time. She has always been like a prisoner under house arrest, confined to her room. During this time, there were many people who came into contact with her, and Mary gradually learned a lot about Xinhuaguo.

She knew about Li De and Xinhuaguo's incompatibility, knew about the actions secretly planned by the Federal Military Department against the Kent family, and knew about the clone plan. But she was watching all of this as a bystander, until something went wrong with Keane's house.

When Mary learned of the death of her grandfather, Marco Keane, she cried for three days. She didn't even care about the transformation of the federation into an empire. And today, I saw this former uncle actually say this about himself and his grandfather. Her heart hurt like a knife.

"It turns out that the Keane family has become like this?" Mary whispered softly in the room.

At that moment, a figure walked up to the door of Mary's room. Although he is wearing combat armor, he can still see the sexy figure in it.

This man was Karin. She came up to Mary and held out a hand.

Mary looked up at Karin, didn't say anything, took Karin's hand, and stood up.

"Captain, the enemy ships stop approaching."

"Enemy mechs are massing."

On the Imperial fleet's side, a large Battlestar battleship in the shape of an inverted triangle is at the center. More than a dozen A-class battleships in the shape of cigars surround it. The standard configuration of this large Battlestar battleship is an army of more than 10,000 people, as well as a powerful shaped laser cannon.

But now, the other side obviously doesn't want to use the main cannon to bomb the Frost into a cosmic wreckage. Thousands of mechs left Battlestar and began to form squads in space.

"Defense system preparation."

"Yes! The defensive main gun and automatic turret are raised. ”

"The engine output is reduced, and 40% of the reactor energy output is given to the various defense batteries."

"Shield recharged."

"The gunner has confirmed, and the efficiency of the defensive artillery is 100 percent."

Inside the bridge of the Frost, nervous voices rang out.

"Enemy ships dispatch a swarm of drones!" A crew member shouted in a panic.

"It's a temptation, wait for my order before firing." A beautiful voice suddenly came from the Frostseeker's internal communicator.

"It's ...... Mary? Li De was puzzled for a second before he reacted.

"Don't fire the main gun, and the auto-defense run efficiency has been changed to 85 percent. The 1st Mecha Brigade was all replaced with thermal homing bombs. Mary suddenly ordered.

"This is the new fire controller. The defensive battle was commanded by her. Li De said without hesitation.

"The efficiency of the automatic defense cannon has been rewritten."

"It will take another minute for the 1st Mecha Brigade to replace the homing bombs."

"The enemy drone swarm is approaching the middle and is expected to make contact in one minute and fifteen seconds."

Inside the Frost Seeker, you can see with the naked eye that countless drones like swarms of bees are heading towards them.

These drones have a spherical shape. Two pairs of laser barrels on the sides of the fuselage. Because there is no cockpit and life support system, only a power system and weapon system, it is only one-third the size of an ordinary fighter, and it is extremely flexible when fighting.

The drone swarm of the Imperial fleet is followed by a large number of mecha troops. The transformation mech, composed of Viking fighters and VF-22s, is the workhorse of air combat. Their flexible shapeshifting ability also gives them distinctive characteristics in both air combat and landing operations.

Everyone on the Frost is gearing up. A little more than a minute later, it was time to witness their training these days. Under the frenzied attack of the Imperial fleet. How long will they be able to hold out? Will it last until the engine is repaired and then break through?

The mechs of the wolf ape team were on standby on deck one, and Li De did not let them rush out at the beginning, but wanted to stay at the most critical moment. Joliette sat in her rack. The two nimble wolves looked at the deep depths of the universe above their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

A mech suddenly flew over Joriette's head. The silvery-white metal fuselage reflected the light and shadow of the Frost Seeker.

The battle began.

The Empire's drone swarm approached, and it was only then that everyone on the Frost Seeker felt the overwhelming number of terror. The First Mecha Brigade had more than 30 mechas, and at this time, they did their best to shoot out the thermal tracking bombs hanging outside the fuselage.

There is no temperature in the cosmic void. It's the stars that emit heat, and the jet engines of mechs or drones. Thermal homing bombs bite those drones like poisonous snakes, and the target is the most vulnerable engine position.

Drones also feel threatened. Laser cannons on the sides of the fuselage roared. Although no sound could be heard, the sun-like laser beam shone directly on the surface of the Frost Seeker.

If it weren't for the special protective glass of the bridge that has the effect of reducing the light intensity, it is estimated that the laser beam can directly evaporate the people inside. The laser beam contains a large amount of heat energy, which is attacked by conducting and burning the heat energy.

Thermal homing missiles exploded one after another under the light of the laser. (To be continued.) )
