Chapter 5: Heavy losses

"Help! Distress! This is the bridge of the USS Amerigo! Did anyone hear that? Distress and help" The alarm on the bridge of this science ship was piercing, the red light flashed, the captain of the science ship was a beautiful and moving young woman, he had straight and smooth short black hair, the oblique bangs on his face covered half of his white skin, a tax of ten thousand eyes and light green copper buckles, wearing a set of dark cyan captain's clothes indescribably heroic, on the bridge, everyone panicked, but she did not, from this point it can be seen that it is no accident that she can become the captain of the science ship.

"Dock 3 has lost contact!"

"They're about to break the bridge!"

A barrage of bad news kept coming to her. ，

"Seal off all corridors and order all survivors to escape the ship immediately in the escape pod!" She made an orderly order on the captain's chair.

"Captain! Someone has stolen top-secret material from the Ghost Archive! ”

"Hurry up and stop it!"

"The system terminal is in hatch nine, which is already occupied by aliens, and we can't stop them! Captain! ”

"Then leave it alone! Put the news out, and everyone immediately leaves the ship in an escape pod! The beautiful captain then proceeded to continue calling for help, "Ask for help, ask for help"

"Roger!" Someone on the console finally responded. It was Duke's roaring voice, who was obviously in poor shape, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "This is 'Nord III.', I'm Duke!" Go on, Captain! ”

"General!!" The captain finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and she said, "This is the Amerigo science ship, and I'm Diana. Sandel, we are under attack by the enemy, General! ”

"What enemy is firing at you? Is it the hillbilly and their bunch of turtles? Duke asked. His first reaction was almost identical to Renault's. When encountering such a situation, the first time I think about whether the other party did it.

"It's not them, General!" Diana immediately replied, "They got on our ship!" ”

"Who is it? Captain? Duke asked, "Who are you fighting against?" ”

"It's an alien, General!" She said, "It's an alien! They took control of our rack shuttles and sneaked in from the shuttles! Duke heard gunshots on the call, and there was a cacophony of gunshots and screams during the call.

"Sander? Sander! Duke growled. However, there was no response. "Damn it!" Duke's face turned a little pale, it was a science ship, the only science ship in the Alpha fleet. Just got taken down by the alien? At that moment, the liaison beside him rang again.

"I'm Duke! Say! Edmund immediately connected to the signal.

"General! This is Wellington, the captain of the transport ship Chandler. We're under onslaught from the aliens, and they're inside the cabin! Before Duke could call him back, another liaison sent another message, and he bet it was damn bad news. Sure enough, as soon as he got through, he thought, "General, this is Lieutenant Fersen of the transport ship 'Hubble' reporting to you. We're invaded by aliens! Several shuttles brought the alien to our ship, the captain fell, and we suffered heavy casualties! ”

The fourth is also a distress signal from Zuihou, and Langley sends a similar situation from Duke's transport, the Shamrock. Kellygan led her swarm of biters to steal Duke's shuttle and the Rangers' transport. Both Duke's shuttles and Renault's transports allow them to board ships so they don't get destroyed on the way, meaning that the Zerg can easily hack into their ships in orbit and kill everyone inside. Bugs and humans have different combat forces. The bugs don't care about their own lives, they don't care if the ship's hull is intact, even if the ship crashes. Not to mention, the death of a few creeps is not a loss for the swarm. It's a brilliant way to bypass all defenses. Except for Kelly Root, who used to be human, no bug could have come up with such a haode solution. What's more, Kelly Gen was able to use her mind to search for the authorization code from the minds of the shuttle pilots before killing them.

Just as Duke was about to roar about this series of bad news, another contact signal was sent here, and he was suddenly stunned, in his opinion, the four transport planes had sent communications, who could this be? He still endured his temper and connected to the contact, "Who is it?" ”

"It's me. Jim. Renault. One of Duke's hateful voices came from the communicator, and when he heard the other party report his name, old Edmund's stomach had already organized a large number of evil words, he immediately wanted to scold, but he still held back, the so-called nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace, Duke was very curious about what tricks this hillbilly was going to play, he opened his mouth and said lightly to the contact: "What are you playing again?" Rogue Ah Fei? Yokel! ”

Duke seemed to feel Renault's anger on the other side of the communicator, and he couldn't help but smile contemptuously, but Renault didn't say anything bad to him, "Listen, Duke! Reynolds' voice came over the communicator, "I understand that we hate each other, but I need your help!" ”

"This IQ? Is it the brain caught in the door? You hillbilly! Duke replied in a tone of incredulity.

"My ship has been invaded by insect swarms, and my transport plane has also been hijacked by insects, I need you to send someone to clean up my spaceship, or to rescue my people, I know that the insects have also entered your ship, but your four transport ships have at least one or two hundred thousand infantry mobile troops, you have enough firepower to clean them up, but we don't!"

Renault can be said to have tried every possible means to save the people on the ship, and for this reason, he was not willing to give up even such a small hope when the communication equipment was used.

Edmund. Duke was silent, he didn't speak.

"Duke, did you hear that?" Reynolds's voice rang out over his communicator, "They're slaughtering every single one of me on my ship!" And your soldiers are the only ones who can help, the distance between us is short, please help me! Please! ”

There was silence again, but this time only for a brief moment, and then Duke finally reacted.

He burst out laughing maniacally, and his reaction was quite violent, and those who didn't know thought he was a madman rather than a brilliant general of the Empire.

"You want me to save your people?" He laughed and said, "You've been working against me time and time again, betraying the Empire and Actulos, and Matt. That kid Horner, he's made me ugly, and now you want me to help you? To help your men who betrayed me because of your words? Boy, you're thicker than the steel armor of a battlecruiser, but you don't have a brain. ”

"Listen, Duke! You can do whatever you want. Renault said in the communicator, "Come down and arrest me, I won't resist." You can torture me, execute me, whatever you want. But please don't settle the account on my men. Don't kill them because of mine. I beg you, Duke! ”

"Yes!" Duke said slowly, "I know you're begging me, you're begging me, you're begging me, you're begging me, there's no doubt you're begging me." It makes me feel warm and warm when I think of this moment in the future every cold winter. As he spoke, he laughed maniacally again, and then his voice changed, and his words were cold, "You're digging your own grave, hillbilly, and now you're lying in it yourself." The death of your men will be counted on your head. Hopefully, these will make you sleep better at night, and good luck! Yokel! With that, he turned off the communication connection. Duke, who was in a very bad mood, suddenly became unaware of how comfortable he was. This makes people feel refreshed on happy occasions, and he gives the order, "Helmsman! Get ready to set sail and reach Keha IV! Also, send a team to blow up the Amerigo, and leave nothing behind! With a nuclear bomb! ”

Char Surface.

"What do we do next? Commander! Cade asked.

"I don't know" Renault shook his head, looking at the sky. He tried to identify Duke and their ships outside the atmosphere, he watched as their ships fell, their hulls blazing, but there was no one, Renault looked closely, it was the largest black shadow, he saw it streak across the sky, it began to get smaller and smaller, but unscathed. Nine times out of ten, he was sure that the large ship that was working on Char was Duke's flagship "Nord III.", and behind this dark shadow was a large ship, which should be a transport ship, Duke ran away with his tail between his legs, and the front was simply humiliating, but Renault had no regrets, and he would not give up even the slightest hope.

"Damn Duke, if I survive, I swear that I will hunt you down in the entire star zone, and you will definitely pay the price for your death, a terrible price!!!" Renaud gritted his teeth, he swore in his heart.
