The command hall of the Topol battleship trembled violently in the midst of numerous artillery fires, and sharp sirens kept coming.

But the girl sitting on the captain's seat turned a deaf ear, and her petite figure gave people a sense of calmness sitting upright like a mountain at the moment.

With her hands clasped to her chest, Isha clutched a silver cross pendant wrapped with poplar willow that her mother had worn when she was younger, and she hoped that she would be able to maintain the same courage and courage as her mother.

Half a step after the captain's position, Xu Qiusheng, who was dressed in a white riding uniform, put his hands behind his waist, his back was straight, and no matter how the battleship trembled under his feet, his standing posture never tilted in the slightest.

The officers in the command hall also sat silently in their positions and operated on the working platform, but no one reported the battle damage of the battleship, because it seemed that this time there was no meaning.

Explosions inside and outside the battleship came and went, and the hot flames scorched the thin space, and the tongues of fire could not stop swallowing on the wounds, like the flame demons of hell were gluttonous with delicious food.

No advance ship could resist the combined bombardment of one battleship and six frigates, not even the Topol.

This is common knowledge that everyone on the battleship understands, but when Isha observed the scene on the ground in low earth orbit, she felt that they should do something more for the Ruther soldiers and civilians who were struggling to resist in purgatory, instead of just hiding in the shadows, watching the Ruther area fall step by step under the fire of the Imperials, and watching the Ruther soldiers and civilians die on the ground.

But they only have a lone advance ship, and they really can't do anything strategically important, and their appearance can only be death.

It wasn't until she saw that the War Apostle piloted by Shi Chen was suppressed by the firepower of the Imperial fleet, and Isha finally made the decision to use the Topol as a shield to buy precious time for ground combat planning.

Only in this way, even if the ship is destroyed and people die. also has a possible meaning, so that she lives up to the name of Elizabeth.

The Topol has been able to support until now, completely thanks to its advanced and complete design concept and the protection ability that completely exceeds the specifications of the advance ship, but even so, the Topol, which has been strongly supported until now, seems to have reached its limit.

Isha looked at the model of the battleship on the holographic screen, which had fallen into a state of red battle damage, tilted her head slightly, looked up at Xu Qiusheng and asked a little angrily: "You guys are so stupid, why did I make such a reckless decision, you also have to follow." ”

Two minutes ago. When Isha made the Topol disarm stealth mode to open fire on the Imperial fleet, she once ordered all non-ship crew personnel except the battleship operators and triple artillery to evacuate the Topol in the launch compartment, but what made her a little embarrassed and moved was that the military order issued by her subordinates was collectively disobeyed by all her subordinates for the first time she led the army to fight.

Hearing Isha's question, the officers sitting on the work platform that was close to failure all looked up at Xu Qiusheng, who was being questioned.

Under the reflection of the firelight outside the ship, the man who was like a mountain clenched his fist in his left hand and hammered down on one knee in front of his chest, looked up and showed a sunny smile to Isa. He said in a deep voice: "Because, you are our princess Her Royal Highness." As your Guardian Knight, even if you make the most foolish and reckless decision, we will die with you! ”

As Xu Qiusheng's words fell. There was a dull sound of touching the ground behind him, and he saw all the officers in the command hall kneeling down on one knee, but their backs were straight, "I am willing to follow His Highness to the death!" ”

Isha looked at the group of soldiers who had followed her to the battlefield of the Blackstone Military Region. Looking at their pious and determined eyes, listening to their unwavering oaths, he suddenly whimpered. Teardrops the size of pearls rolled down and fell on the Topol, splashing crystal clear everywhere.

"Topol, keep attacking!"

"Yes! My Highness! ”

Under the continuous bombardment of artillery fire, the superalloy armor of the forecourt of the Poplar gradually collapsed, and only the silver cross emblem entwined by the willow of the Poplar was extremely dazzling under the calcination of the flames

The command hall of the Ruther District, at the moment when the Poplar appeared in the field of vision, fell into a deathly silence, and all the officers looked at the picture on the screen in shock.

"The Imperial 4 frigate has collapsed!"

"The Imperial 6 frigate was shot in the engine! Crash landing towards South Ridge! ”

"The port side of the Reich 3 frigate has been hit hard! 43% reduction in firepower"

"The power furnace of the Imperial 1 frigate has exploded and is falling!"

Everyone didn't expect that in this absolutely inferior situation, the Topol actually maintained its sanity, and did not have the slightest intention of fighting the Sirius, but poured all its firepower into the relatively fragile Imperial frigates that brought great trouble to ground operations.

And under the light and unpreparedness of the Imperials, those frigates were actually killed by the Poplar, which was as weak as a poplar, two of them were destroyed, one was forced to land, and the other three were also severely damaged to varying degrees.

But even then, under the powerful fire of the opposite side, the Topol began to reach its limit and drooped.

Looking at the Poplar, which kept bursting into flames under the bombardment, Feng Shangming, who had always maintained absolute sanity and composure, couldn't stand the old tears.

The old commander didn't have more time to sigh and complain, so he couldn't bear to look at the silver cross-colored battleship that was on the verge of falling, and asked heavily, "How long will it take?" ”

"Particle compression accelerated!"

"Energy input to maintain maximum output!"

"The evacuation of the staff of the Suborion position has been completed!"

"A large number of high-energy particle fusion reactions have been detected inside the Sirius, and it is estimated that there are still ten years before launch!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

"Seven!"

Suborion's position, looking at the Topol in the sky that was still persistently fighting back in the calcination of the flames, Shi Chen's heart was suddenly filled with incomparable pain and guilt.

If it weren't for his reckless decision, dragging all the officers of the Ruther District Command into a desperate situation with no way out, if it weren't for his reckless decision, how could the Topol be so stupid to get out of the stealth state and carry the bombardment of seven Imperial warships, just to help him buy precious time.

But although he was bitter and guilty, he never regretted it!

Because, this is indeed his last chance, the last chance of the Ruther Military Region, and the chance of bloodlessness! A chance to win a battle, a chance to save 13 million people in the Ruther district!

Forced to endure the physical pain and inner torment, accompanied by a beastly roar, the War Apostle once again resisted the heavy mountain of the LOIC particle railgun, and at the same time seemed to shoulder a responsibility heavier than the mountain, aiming at the ethereal starry sky outside the Topol.

Listening to the approaching countdown sound from the communicator, Shi Chen yelled at the signal sign of the Topol: "Isha! Get out of the way! ”

The Poplar in the night sky seemed to hear his call, as if with the best of its strength, the remaining engine spewed out a small amount of flame, and tried with difficulty to move out of the ballistic range between the War Apostle and the Sirius.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!! Shi Chen's eyes were red, and he shouted silently for the Poplar in his heart.

"It's expected that there are still five days until the launch of the Sirius!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

Shi Chen's sight finally lost the figure of the Topol, and he also saw that in the background of the starry sky, the spiral gate of the main gun port was slowly opening.

As if facing a giant beast that could destroy the world, Shi Chen's spirit suddenly became highly tense and concentrated, and the calibration sound of the command headquarters was also heard from the communicator.

"The railgun accumulator is fully charged!"

"Shooting Zhuyuan is reset!"

"Other errors will be corrected manually by the pilot!"

"One!"

With the overlap of the double ballistic calculations of the command and Xiao Chu, Shi Chen did not hesitate at all, gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger in his hand!

A new star of light burst from the muzzle of the gun, instantly breaking through the barrier of space and time, and slammed into the muzzle of the main cannon of the Sirius, which was about to spit out the light of the world.

There was a sudden silence between heaven and earth.

The Sirius was like a giant beast that was gluttonous on the heavens and the earth, suddenly swallowing a food that made it difficult to swallow and even indigestible, and as if it had a full burp, the flames spat out the muzzle of the main gun, and then suddenly retracted, and rolled back.

There was a low muffled sound in the command hall of the Sky Wolf, and Prince Hong Jian, who had been sitting on the throne like a god mansion before, seemed to have been shot in the center by a mortal's sharp arrow, standing still, his eyes glazed down.

I don't know if it was a moment later, and it seemed like an eternity, this man, known as the wolf of the empire, looked at the poplar that was still standing in the flames on the screen and the red-covered metal giant behind her, showing a hint of relief.

In the sudden burst of light and heat, the horizon fell into absolute white, and then returned to darkness.

And then die.

Just die.

Celestial wolf, fall.
