Chapter 589: Keep going

After Lin Feng said it, everyone fell silent.

Although Yang Yi was ordered by the military department to command the human legion to assist and support the Vegadian Clan's march into the Northern Alpha Galaxy, everyone knew that the main purpose of this trip was not to take advantage of the Vegadian Clan's fire, but to open up a new world for the Human Federation in the Greenwich Meteorite Belt. As long as you can gain a firm foothold in the vast Greenwich meteorite belt, you will never have to look at the faces of those top civilizations in the future.

Actually, herein lies the problem.

The Greenwich Meteorite Belt is extremely vast, comparable in scale to the Southern Alpha and Northern Alpha Systems, but there are not many planets in this vast area that can accommodate human beings. If the universe is compared to a desert, an oasis in the desert of the galaxy universe, then the Greenwich meteorite belt is the most inhospitable desert. It is precisely because of this that for thousands of years, the Galactic Alliance and the Silicon Charm Alliance have regarded the Greenwich Meteorite Belt as a natural boundary, or a separation zone, and have never thought of long-term occupation, and even have plans to colonize here. In this inhospitable "desert", any large celestial body that can be developed is precious.

"Perhaps, the situation ahead is even worse." After a moment of silence, Yang Yicai said, "We are still in the southern region of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, not far from the South Alpha Galaxy, but nearly 10,000 light-years away from the North Alpha Galaxy. The celestial bodies here have all been invaded by the Silicon Beast, and I'm afraid the situation is even worse in the north. We have to prepare for the worst, but we can't give up, at least not yet. ”

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it's even worse than we expected."

"What do you mean?" Shen Chengwen looked at Yuyang. Although at the beginning, Shen Chengwen didn't look down on this eldest young master from the Yu family, thinking that he was valued and reused by Yang Yi by virtue of his background, but after the battle between Slag Star and Beacon Mars, Shen Chengwen's opinion of Yuyang quietly changed. Even Yuyang's strength is still not very good. However, he was an excellent staff officer.

"Why did the Silicon Alliance drive wild silicones to invade the Greenwich meteorite belt, is it just for internal reasons, or is it a spontaneous behavior of wild silicones? If not, then everything that is happening now is targeted, and it is directed against us. ”

Shen Chengwen was slightly stunned, and his brows locked together.

"You mean. Did the enemy guess our true intentions? Lin Feng was also very surprised.

Yuyang nodded and said, "Actually, this is the only reason that makes sense. The enemy already knew what we were coming for, and therefore acted in advance. For the Silicon Alliance, the objects in the Greenwich meteorite belt are of little value, and if the legions are dispatched, they will not only need to consume a lot of troops, but also provide logistical support. Comparatively speaking, let wild silicones encroach and destroy celestial bodies. Not only does it achieve its purpose, but it also costs much less. Moreover, we will not be deterred by wild silicones that have encroached on celestial bodies. If you're meeting the Silicon Legion, it's different. At least for now, we're not going to stop because of these wild silicones. ”

"In this way, we can be lured into going deeper." Shen Chengwen gritted his teeth and said, "Because I haven't been able to establish enough strongholds in the rear." Even if this route is unimpeded, the efficiency of logistics and transportation is very low. Naturally, there will be an impact on the legions that are fighting at the front. Imagine if we hadn't built a stronghold on a route close to 10,000 light-years, what would have happened when we encountered the Silicon Phantom army in the Northern Alpha System? Obviously, we can't expect the Hidden Spirits to provide accurate information in a timely manner. As for the Legion of the Weavers in the back. Whether they can arrive in time and whether they will take the initiative to participate in the battle is even more unknown. ”

"So, what are we going to do? Can't you stop moving forward because of this little trouble and speculation made out of thin air? ”

Neither Yuyang nor Shen Chengwen answered Lin Feng's question, because it was not a question they could answer.

"Obviously. We can't stop. It's just that we can't deny Yuyang's speculation. Yang Yi let out a long sigh, "Although there is no evidence, we have enough reason to believe that someone must have leaked the news, and even deliberately revealed our whereabouts to the Silicon Charm Alliance." I don't know who it is, at least not yet. All we can do is move on and prepare for the worst. ”

Shen Cheng sighed secretly when he heard this, and Yuyang also smiled bitterly.

"Anyway, we still have half a month."

"You think Barnes can be trusted?" Lin Feng looked at Yang Yi incomprehensibly.

Yang Yi glanced at Lin Feng and said, "I don't have anything to say about the Heavenly Saint Emperor, maybe the person who deliberately leaked the news is him." It's just that Barnes has followed us all the way here, and there are no anomalies, so we have reason to trust him, at least he wasn't involved in the conspiracy against us. Besides, we now have no choice but to trust Barnes because we need the information he provides. ”

"But ......"

"The most important thing is that we need to spend some time figuring out the situation, and we need enough time to build spatial nodes, so we have to make the most of these 15 days." Yang Yi paused for a moment before saying, "Even if Barnes has a problem, we can't move forward now." ”

"If your guess is not wrong, then there must be an even greater danger waiting for us ahead."

"That's right, we have to hurry." Yang Yi glanced at Yuyang and said, "We have no way back, no matter what lies ahead, we can only continue to move forward." For us, the only thing we can do is to be prepared for all kinds of situations that we may encounter. In fact, this is the most important thing we should do now. As for who is dealing with us, it doesn't really matter, because the enemy will always exist, and we can't stop because of the enemy's existence, let alone give up our ideals because of the enemy's existence. In my opinion, the troubles we are experiencing now are actually a good thing, because they are tantamount to warning us to be more vigilant. ”

Yuyang nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Yang Yi meant.

"So, we've got to hurry." Yang Yi glanced at everyone and said, "If there is nothing else, let's go and prepare." ”

The projected image of Yuyang disappeared first, and communication with the rear was also interrupted.

In the next fifteen days, Yang Yi and the others were not idle.

Under the leadership of Shen Chengwen, the expanded special reconnaissance team attacked everywhere and destroyed all the celestial bodies that were invaded by the silicon beast within a hundred light-years of the route. Because the occupied objects were small celestial bodies of little value, the officers and men of the special reconnaissance brigade did not have much concern when fighting. With the support of warships, if they encounter a wild silicon beast above level 10, the officers and men of the special reconnaissance team do not need to land on a celestial body and launch an attack from a distance. Of course, if it is only an ordinary wild silicon beast, the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance team will land on the celestial body and fight the silicon beast on the celestial body. Doing so will not only allow you to train the officers and soldiers of the Special Reconnaissance Brigade, but also obtain some materials that are extremely rare in the Southern Alpha system.

Yuyang redeployed the unmanned detector and strengthened the reconnaissance work in front of the route. Because the situation was not quite what was expected, adjustments had to be made. The main thing is to shorten the distance between the spatial nodes and set up a preparatory area near each spatial node. To put it simply, if the space node is attacked and the battleship and spacecraft cannot pass safely, the reserve area can be used to allow the battleship to reach the vicinity of the space node, eliminate the enemy who poses a threat, and ensure that the route is unimpeded. Of course, the location of these reserve areas is top secret, and only a few people such as Yang Yi know about it, and it is not marked on the route map.

Obviously, fifteen days is not a long time.

When Barnes rushed back, the reconnaissance work in charge of Yuyang had not yet ended, and the special reconnaissance team commanded by Shen Chengwen had not completed the sweeping operation.

Barnes's return proves Yang Yi's judgment of him.

Of course, he also brought the information that Yang Yi needed.

As Barnes had guessed before, there was indeed something wrong with the information of the Hidden Spirit Clan, to be precise, the information provided to Yang Yi before was outdated. In Barnes's words, the information about this route was collected before the war, and the intelligence agencies of the Hidden Spirit did not pay attention to this route after the outbreak of the war, so they did not know much about the course situation, so naturally they did not know that so many celestial bodies were invaded by the silicon beasts.

Actually, this is the only thing of value that Barnes brought back.

In his words, the Hidden Spirit had just entered a state of war, and many things had not been sorted out, although he personally asked the head of the intelligence agency, but did not receive a clear answer. In other words, even the intelligence agencies of the Hidden Spirit didn't know why so many wild silicons had poured into the Greenwich meteorite belt, and it could only be roughly inferred from this that the Silicon Alliance must have undergone an unexpected change.

Echoing Yang's sentiments, Barnes believes that there is no reason to stop because of some wild silicones, and that the only way to figure out the situation is to move on. However, on the question of whether he can provide accurate information in a timely manner, Barnes also mentioned that at least at present, he cannot give any affirmative guarantees, and he can only guarantee that no matter what happens, he will be with Yang Yi and face it with the human army. In addition, after obtaining accurate information, he will tell Yang Yi as soon as possible, and there will be absolutely no delay. In Barnes's words, his expedition to the North Alpha System with the Human Legion is itself the greatest support for the Human Legion.

In addition, Barnes also brought news from Amy, to be precise, Amy's greeting to Yang Yi. Of course, Barnes didn't know that this was the code agreed between Yang Yi and Amy. If there is an accident in the rear, such as Yu Linglong being attacked, or the Yu family being attacked, then Amy is not sending a greeting.

The day after Barnes' return, a convoy arrived. It was the fleet sent by Yu Linglong that sent what Yang Yi needed the most. (To be continued.) )
