A month ago, after Shi Chen and the others left Blackstone, they decided to make a detour to the space-time node of the meteorite belt of the Suyue Galaxy and rush to the battlefield in advance.

Naturally, they also obeyed Xu Changqing's last orders, and asked Admiral Feng Shangming, who was guarding them, to go out of the mountain and lead the army to Chi Xingxing to help.

Because of the last Battle of Sudake, the Legion of Megaphourers left a small fleet to guard and monitor the space-time node in the Sutake system to prevent the tragedy of the Suborion from happening again.

Originally, the situation in the Black Stone Star Region was chaotic, and it was a little difficult to protect himself with the power of Suyue Star, but with the assurance of Arsariya, Feng Shangming gladly accepted the order.

But not everyone has Xiao Chu's terrifying driving skills, and in that harsh environment, Xiao Chu's efforts to drive the Apocalypse safely through the death zone are already the limit.

Therefore, Feng Shangming left the two Feather-class battleships and the heavy battle cruisers, and led seventy-six light warships to drill into the dangerous meteorite belt with the Apocalypse.

In the end, they succeeded in crossing the thorny road, but they also paid for it with the lives of nearly half of the warships and the officers and men of the Sudake garrison.

And their sacrifice and dedication also won precious time for the early arrival of the federal reinforcements, and they arrived here before Chi Xing's show completely collapsed.

As Shi Chen and the others approached with reinforcements, they finally converged with the battleships of the Federation Giant Devouring Expeditionary Force in the void, pressing towards Chi Xing's Halo Meteorite Belt army.

And their offensive moves, no matter how obvious, also put the Empire on the highest alert, and the battleship group hid behind the meteorite belt, ready to stand by at any time.

With Chi Xing's rotation, the Federation battleship group slowly entered the dark area, most of the star's light was blocked by the planet, and the surrounding space transitioned from dark blue to heavy ink, and shadows seeped in from the floor-to-ceiling portholes. Covering all the bodies of everyone on the bridge, it also cast a cold and iron-blooded taste on Arsarya's command.

But just before the outbreak of this war, Shi Chen suddenly received the data package from Xiao Chu that was diverted from Ye Mengqi through the empire's electronic blockade network.

The distant starry sky and electronic blockade will always be the great enemy of information transmission, but as the Apocalypse approached, Shi Chen saw the battle situation on Chi Xing through Xiao Chu, and his face suddenly changed drastically.

Those were footage from the spectral field recorders that the new crusaders were carrying.

Because of the fact that the new crusaders were guarding the high ground and the empire's abandoned combat base, the imperial army that had not been able to carry too many heavy weapons in the Qingxi Mountains was also a little at a loss, and could only rely on superior forces and weapons and ammunition to slowly grind.

But it is clear that the fighting there has come to an end. The empire began to spare the lives of its subordinates and let them carry out a strong attack.

The two sides of the fierce battle were unable to bury the corpses, but because of the scattered battlefields in the Qingxi Mountains, the corpses of the warriors lying in wait everywhere did not give people a dense feeling, but the desolation of the forest and the red leaves of the mountains seemed to be in a sea of the River Styx, full of madness and forest.

There were countless local battles everywhere. Whenever the smoke clears, you can always see the soldiers on both sides who are fighting and dying together, their bodies have long been frozen and stiff, but they are still entangled in one place. Holding a military thorn in his hand, he stabbed into the opponent's body, dyeing the opponent's military uniform the same color as the maple leaf, and no longer distinguishing each other.

The new crusaders of more than 20,000 people who were originally brought into the Qingxi Mountains by Ye Mengqi. In the nearly two-month escape, there are now less than 8,000 soldiers left, and there are only these remaining soldiers. They're all wounded, and they're being cut down at a rapid rate under the general attack of the Imperials.

Whether it is the New Crusaders or the Imperials, both sides have been completely killed, and among the colorful fallen red leaves can be seen everywhere, the soldiers of the New Crusaders are still wearing summer single clothes, slumping on their bodies that have been invaded by the cold wind, holding guns wrapped in rags, and stepping on grinning military boots, resisting the Imperials who are also constantly pounced on like hungry wolves.

Although he was not on the battlefield, just relying on these constantly shaking broken pictures, Shi Chen could still feel the atmosphere of despair and madness that permeated the poignant scenery in that solemn environment.

Then in one of the scenes, he saw Ye Mengqi and Chen Fengxiao, who were also dressed in thin military uniforms, like ordinary soldiers, lying on the mountain peak behind the fortifications built by temporary material bags, constantly killing the invading imperial soldiers.

They won't last long

This was Shi Chen's judgment from intuition, and he couldn't help but feel anxious and angry in his heart.

He did not understand at all how the New Crusaders could be pulled so far by the front alone, completely isolated.

If he hadn't discovered it, I'm afraid this tragic battle would have been doomed to be nameless, and it wouldn't even be mentioned in future history!

"How long will it take to break through this line of defense?" Shi Chen asked in a deep voice to Liya, who was also serious beside him.

Liya naturally also saw the anxiety in Shi Chen's eyes, guessed the situation on Chi Xing, was silent for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid it will take at least three hours." ”

"Three hours? I'm afraid they won't be able to wait! Shi Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Can you let the Apocalypse pass through the defense line first and forcibly land on the ground of Chi Xing?" ”

"I'm afraid not." Lia shook her head and vetoed: "Even if we add the reinforcements brought from Sugaku, the main battle fleet of the Feather-class battleships is not superior, so we can only rely on the performance advantage of the Apocalypse as the sharpness of the entire fleet formation, so that it is possible to repel the Imperial fleet head-on, if we take the liberty of letting the Apocalypse break away from the formation and launch a charge, with such a conspicuous target as the Apocalypse, whether we can safely cross the defense line is still two words, if the Apocalypse is lost, the frontal battlefield in space may even collapse." ”

"Is that so?" Shi Chen's eyes slowly drooped, and his face gradually became resolute.

Not long after the two of them talked, as the voice of Commander Feng Shangming's general attack order came from the communicator, the Federation fleet finally sailed into the range of the Empire's artillery bombardment, and at the same time, countless pillars of light lit up the starry sky in an instant.

At the same time, countless small warships and all-domain fighters turned into dust in the void in the first round of salvos of the main guns, and the Apocalypse, as a large key eye, was naturally targeted by many imperial warships, but due to the distance and Xiao Chu's orbit calculation, no one could match, so he only suffered some minor injuries.

After the main cannon entered the cooldown and regathering time, the Apocalypse suddenly sailed out of the group of battleships and rushed into the enemy formation first, and the triple particle cannons on its body emitted dazzling fire in unison.

The most gorgeous and brutal space battle began, and in the slight tremor of the bridge and the flickering of the lights, Liya looked at Shi Chen, who was hanging her head and clenching her fists, and asked softly, "You have made a decision?" ”

Liya's question also made Xu Qiusheng and the others on the side turn their heads.

Under the gaze of everyone, Shi Chen raised his head and smiled: "I can't sit idly by and ignore their danger, if they really die, then most of the meaning of my life will be lost, so I must go." ”

Leah pursed her lips; "My words and deeds are being watched by everyone at the moment, so this time, I can't accompany you on an adventure."

"Of course I understand, I can't let you accompany me on the adventure, that would be irresponsible to all the officers and soldiers and even the Federation at this moment, so this time, I will go by myself. The mecha is equipped with an auxiliary aircraft, and the target will not be too conspicuous."

Before he could finish his sentence, Leah suddenly grabbed his cheek and hurriedly kissed him on the forehead like a dragonfly.

"Shi Chen, I know I can't persuade you, so I can only use this way to wish you prosperity in martial arts."

Feeling the soft touch remaining on his forehead, the smile lines on Shi Chen's face became a little bitter, "I said it so solemnly, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to come back." ”

Liya's face was also solemn and serious, patted Shi Chen's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, if you really can't come back, I will take good care of your confidants!" ”

When Shi Chen heard this, he always felt that the word 'care' was bitten very hard by the other party, thinking of some ulterior habits of the eldest princess in front of him, the smile on his face suddenly froze, he stood up and saluted, and said very seriously: "Take back the previous words, I will definitely return safely, Your Highness!"
