Chapter 192: The Situation
Red Pupil's gaze was in the distance, and although he couldn't see anything, he knew that a few light days away, there was a huge fleet of starships, moving towards the N7703 system.
The image of a young woman was projected in the room, her resolute face ruining her beauty, and a diamond-shaped crystal in the center of her forehead was very striking.
"Do you need to cooperate with the Ninth Fleet?" she asked as soon as she appeared.
The red pupil pondered for a moment before saying, "The dynasty fleet appeared at this time, and the situation is delicate!"
The woman seemed to be a little puzzled, "The federal lancers have already been dispatched, is there any problem with the dynasty sending a fleet?"
Red Hitomi said slowly: "For a long time, there has been an unwritten rule in the star field, that is, whichever official fleet is dispatched, it is deemed to have completed the actual possession of that galaxy. The other two sides will not be able to send out a full-fledged fleet, otherwise it will be considered a war. The universe is vast enough and the galaxies are endless, so there is generally no need to fight for one galaxy. For hundreds of years, the vast majority of explorations have failed, and all the gains are simply not worth the huge cost of making the round trip. ”
"That's what our agents are all about. The woman said.
"Yes. We are like a pack of lone wolves, roaming the gray area, fighting for territories that are inconvenient for the dynasty to sell, or beyond the reach of the whip. ”
"We actually did much for the dynasty, but the dynasty didn't seem to treat us very well. Since the Lin family presided over the Ninth Fleet, the support materials for us have been directly reduced by two-thirds. Fortunately, that Lin Xuanshang was transferred. The woman couldn't help but complain.
Red Hitomi smiled and said, "That's the price of independence. The dynasty has given us freedom, and we are responsible for it. As for the amount of support materials, as long as they are above the basic standards, they are all affections, not obligations. The Lin family did not deduct some materials and did not embezzle them privately, they were all used in the construction of the Ninth Fleet, which was not excessive. ”
"Isn't it the same when the materials are given to us and used to fight foreign enemies, what's the difference? Are our agents inferior? In my opinion, the big families of the Lin family are deliberately embarrassing us everywhere because they are prejudiced against us! Since they can withhold our supplies, then why should we still act in their star field, just let them clean up the mess by themselves, and see what kind of exploits they can make without so much foreshadowing that we have done secretly! They really think that many smooth battles are deserved? The woman was indignant.
Red Hitomi said, "Illusory, you are the most outstanding agent I have ever cultivated. Independence and freedom are double-edged swords, and I'm well aware that there are people trying to instill in you something you shouldn't have. You know, although we have a certain degree of independence, we are not rootless. Our roots are in the Tang Dynasty and will never change. ”
"Okay, okay, don't preach. Anyway, you know I'm not going to disobey your orders, unless it's too much. ”
Red Hitomi smiled bitterly, "You are the most disobedient one. ”
"Tell me, what do you need us to do?"
The screen in front of Chi Tong switched to a star field of vision, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's move forward, approach the N7703 galaxy, cooperate with the actions of the Third Squadron, and directly participate in the battle if necessary." The enemy of the damaged mobile base, it's time to liquidate it. ”
Unreal said, "With the three of us here, we don't need them to fight the lancers head-on." Why do you have to cooperate with them?"
"Fighting the Federation head-on is not our best option unless necessary. You weren't born for frontal battle, that's for the dynastic fleet. The strength of the Ninth Fleet was originally in the forefront of the major fleets, and this time it sent the Third Fleet, normally speaking, the strength was completely comparable to that of two Lancers. It was a surprise to me that I could send one of the four major fleets. ”
"They won't really fight, isn't it the same if there are more factions and fewer factions? Besides, just coming at this time, the little girl of the Lin family has long since been unable to find her body. ”
Red Pupil looked serious and said, "Although Lin Xi was born in the Lin family, since the day she became an agent, she has been a member of the Special Operations Department, our brothers and sisters. ”
"Okay, okay, got it, got it!" said Illusory covered his face.
"Be vigilant, the Federation attaches great importance to this star field. We've already lost 4 agents here, and I don't want a fifth. Even if there is a dynastic detachment as a backing, you can't be careless. ”
"Understood. But is the fleet reliable?"
"The Ninth Fleet has a total of five detachments, of which the subordinate detachment is not strong, and the fleet headquarters is mainly assigned to carry out some special operations, while the detachments that go out to operate are often strengthened. So this time the Ninth Fleet actually sent at least a quarter of the fleet. ”
"That's pretty much it. But it can't be fought anyway. ”
"There will be no overt fighting, but there will be clashes in the dark. It's up to you. ”
"Don't worry!"
The illusory figure vanished, and a gentle woman appeared in the room. She poured a cup of tea and handed it to Red Hitomi.
Red Pupil's face showed exhaustion, and he silently drank it down.
"Do you have something on your mind?" the woman asked.
"yes! I thought if I hadn't sent them out in the first place. If they had lived to this point, the speed of their growth would have been a big surprise to us. ”
"Maybe they're still alive. ”
Red Hitomi sighed and said with a little bitterness: "This kind of thing is just self-deception. Even the real fourth-order agents couldn't hold it up, how could the two of them hold on? Besides, they didn't have any supplies. On the planet, the federal forces must have gained a foothold now. ”
"Maybe they were just taken prisoner. ”
"That's even worse. The dynasty will not recognize our identity, and the Federation will never give us the treatment of captives. It's like we never take a Federal Intelligence Agency agent for a human being. ”
"You've done your best. When you get Planet Four, let's find a way to find their traces. ”
"That's the way it can be. Thank you. ”
The woman smiled and said, "You created me as a substitute for her." You'll never say thank you to her. ”
"Yes, it's been so long, I've really forgotten it. Red Hitomi said apologetically.
The huge mobile base began to accelerate, leading the dense fleet in the rear towards the N7703 system. In the other direction, the larger and more neatly organized Ninth Fleet detachment also began to sail into the inner skies of the galaxy. This dynastic fleet is clearly in battle formation, and the meaning of deterrence is self-evident.
In the N7703 galaxy, Looney sat in front of the command podium, looked at the markers of the incoming fleets in outer space, and said, "Look, there is never a shortage of meritorious deeds in the vast star field. ”
