In the starry sky in the distance, an overwhelming fleet is galloping towards us, like a group of sharks ravaging the sea of stars.

Through observation and judgment, the identity of the other party has been confirmed, and it is the Hyde Kingdom, a medium-sized country separated by several countries from the Republic of Gark. Both Xu Tianyuan and Lin Yiqing didn't understand why this country had sent such a huge fleet through several countries to come here. Moreover, there is no abnormality in the movement of troops in the surrounding countries, and it is clear that this fleet can reach here by already having the necessary communication with the surrounding countries.

In other words, this huge fleet came here, and their target was precisely this lonely Chutang fleet!

Perhaps the commanders of this fleet are not as capable as Xu Tianyuan, perhaps the performance of their warships is not as good as that of Longxiao-class battleships, or their ship-handling personnel are inferior to the Chu Tang people in terms of experience and ability. However, there are simply too many of them. The Chu Tang advance team sent into the Northern Universe had a total of 50,000 spaceships, and after nearly half a year of fighting and transferring, they lost a lot of spaceships. At present, there are more than 38,000 warships and more than 4,000 "Colossus" class transport ships in the advance team.

However, their enemies numbered 120,000 ships, almost three times as many as theirs.

If the nearly 40,000 warships under Xu Tianyuan's command had been carefully overhauled, filled with all kinds of energy ammunition, and the crew were all well-rested elite soldiers, then this battle might have suffered a lot of losses, but he had a strong confidence that he could win this battle.

It's a pity that the siege for several months, coupled with the battle just now, has once again greatly reduced the few supplies left in the Chu Tang fleet. Of the more than 4,000 giant transport ships, only a little more than 1,000 were loaded with energy ammunition supplies. But even if these supplies could meet the needs of the entire fleet for a major battle, he did not have time to allocate them. With the distance between the two sides, it will take at most half an hour to engage the battle.

Some people may think that at this time, it is not possible to turn around and flee back to the mouth of the waves, and take advantage of the complex terrain there to conduct guerrilla warfare?

As the commander of this fleet, Xu Tianyuan couldn't say it.

Not to mention that the two Garkh fleets still have three or four thousand warships that have not been destroyed, and although they are in the position of fleeing at this time, they may turn around at any time to entangle them and delay their speed. But even if they can successfully return to the mouth of the waves, the remaining materials can only support the consumption of a large-scale battle. Once the resources are exhausted, in a place like Canglangkou, there are only two ways to go: waiting for death or surrendering.

Whether it was Xu Tianyuan, Lin Yiqing, or other Chu and Tang officers and soldiers, they would not surrender.

So...... Back to the mouth of the waves, there is only one dead end.

"General Xu......"

On the screen, Lin Yiqing, who looked a little old, sorted out his military uniform, raised his head, and looked at the young general on the other end of the screen.

"General Xu, leave all the Wumu-class battleships to the old decay. Although the enemies are outnumbered, the old man is confident that he can entangle them for at least two hours! ”

Xu Tianyuan was slightly shocked, and he immediately understood what this veteran wanted to do.

He shook his head slowly: "No, General Lin." Raising his head, a miserable smile appeared on the young general's face: "The commander of this fleet is me, since Marshal Lin has entrusted me with such a heavy responsibility, it is already my fault to make the fleet come to this point." I can no longer sacrifice the lives of General Lin and my brothers. ”

Speaking of this, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I will stay with the Wumu-class battleship." The Elephant-class transport ship was too slow to evacuate. Of the 20,000 Longxiao-class warships, we have not lost a single one since we entered the Northern Universe Dao. Moreover, in countless wars, the brothers are more familiar with the operation of this new type of warship, which is the wealth of our Chu Tang. Therefore, General Lin, I will hand over the 20,000 Longxiao-class battleships to you, and at the speed of the Longxiao-class battleships, they can be easily evacuated. Once you've left, you'll head northwest with your fleet, which is a remote and complex area that's not the best but the safest. ”

"Bastard!"

Lin Yiqing shouted angrily: "The old man is already more than one hundred and seventy years old this year, and with the old man's martial arts cultivation, he will have a lifespan of twenty or thirty years at most." And you are already a congenital master at a young age, and the loss here is not only a loss for you Xu Tianyuan, but also a loss for the empire! Marshal Lin let the old man follow you, but he didn't watch you die! ”

Xu Tianyuan lowered his head slightly and did not speak.

The old general's anger gradually subsided, he slowly shook his head, and said: "In this world, no one's road is unimpeded, and everyone has times of setbacks. At such times, only by overcoming oneself and abandoning all pessimistic thoughts can one go further. It's not your fault that the advance team has come to this point, and the old man is also responsible. What's more, do you think that even if the old man takes away the Longxiao-class battleship, will he be able to complete the task given to us by the marshal? Who else can accomplish this task but you? ”

The corners of the young general's eyes were a little red, and he turned his back and quietly wiped his eyes, and turned his head again.

"General Lin, I swear that I will definitely complete the task assigned to us by the marshal. In addition, whether it is the sixteen countries that surround us, or the Hyde Kingdom that is currently in this fleet, as well as the masterminds behind them, one day, I, Xu Tianyuan, will destroy all of this and avenge the old general and brothers! ”

"Hahaha, there are seventeen countries to bury the old decay, and the old decay is already satisfied!"

Lin Yiqing's hearty laughter came from the screen, and after a moment, he put away his smile and said, "Okay, don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, there's not much time, let's start acting immediately!" Remember, there is no need to rush about revenge, but we must complete the task entrusted to us by Marshal Lin! ”

"Yes, General Lin!"

Here, Xu Tianyuan's hands quickly tapped on the commander's light brain, issuing an order to restore the formation of the fleet.

He rearranged the numbers of the Wumu-class warships together, and every time a number crossed under his command, the voices and smiles of some people appeared in his mind. His hands kept moving, but drops of crystal liquid dripped with his movements, splashing onto the cold floor.

"General, we've received a strange communication."

An adjutant hurried over.

Xu Tianyuan didn't pause in his hands, and he asked without looking back, "Who sent it?" What does it say? ”

"General, the communication is encrypted, we can't see it. However, it says that you will need to enter the password yourself, and besides...... There's also a strange sign on it. ”

The young general's hand stopped, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and the whole person seemed to change back to that serious and serious peerless genius.

"Show it to me."

The lieutenant opened his wrist light brain and transferred the file over.

When opened, in the center of the screen is an area to enter the password, while at the top, there is a logo that glows with silver metal. It is a shield with intricate and delicate patterns carved on it, and the square shield looks extremely thick and huge, as if it can withstand all attacks.

The moment he saw this sign, Xu Tianyuan's pupils shrank suddenly.

Perhaps to others, it's just an ordinary shield. But if it were a knowledgeable person like Xu Tianyuan, this shield would have had a name in the eternal Earth era.

The name is ...... Tower Shield!

Xu Tianyuan was excited, and he hurriedly asked, "When did this come from, where did it come from, can you tell it?" ”

"Report to the general, the document was received just a minute ago. The specific sending direction is unknown, but we can only judge that the sending point is not very far away from us, and it will not exceed ten AU. (Note: AU, astronomical unit, 1AU = 149,597,870,700 meters, that is, 149,597,870 kilometers.) 1LY (light years) = 63241AU (astronomical units))

"Okay, I see."

After signaling the adjutant to leave, Xu Tianyuan stared at the screen in front of him and muttered, "Boss...... Is it really you? So, what would the password be? ”

After a moment's thought, he tapped quickly with both hands, typing in a long list of incomparably complex characters.

"The commander-in-chief of the advance team has the wrong password? Try again the password of the fleet I worked for before...... Isn't that right? ”

After trying three or four passwords in a row, Xu Tianyuan looked at the screen in front of him with some distress.

"What the hell is a password?"

He pondered carefully, and suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.

"If it's really from the boss, then the password must be ......"

Xu Tianyuan quickly typed in a string of characters again and looked at it expectantly.

"Hah, that's right. It seems that it was really sent by the boss, otherwise no one would know the password I used when I was in the Tower Shield Group to protect the fleet! ”

Xu Tianyuan was overjoyed suddenly, that magical boss suddenly appeared here, and he definitely didn't send a random communication to tease him.

The file opened, and there was only one sentence inside.

"Take everyone into the X22953Y98642Z05823 area, where there's a passage underneath. After entering the passage, be careful to keep a distance of about 1 million kilometers from the enemy, and leave the rest to me. ”

This is......

He was stunned for a moment, and then, like crazy, he opened the nearby star map on the light brain with great speed, and soon found the area mentioned in the communication. There is a large and complex asteroid belt around it, the environment is relatively complex, it contains a lot of valuable ores, and at least a dozen mining groups rely on this asteroid belt to survive.

However, as his fingers moved along the passage inside, he suddenly stopped, and his face changed suddenly.

"This ...... Is this a dead end? ”
