"It can't be." Mercury said calmly, "We only have one battleship, and we can't face the fleet of the Duchy of Bahram at all.

We can all understand your desire for revenge, but you are now the sole heir of the Duchy of Helios!

You can't bury the future of the entire Principality because of your anger!! ”

Xia Lian didn't explain, he didn't refute their words, he seemed to be waiting for something.

Soon, a red dot lit up on the control screen of the operator in front of him.

He raised his head and said to Xia Lian.

"Your Highness, receive an Ansebo communication from the planet Helios."

"Connected." Xia Lian said calmly.

"Yes!"

At the same time, a projection appeared beside him, an old man with gray hair and a black uniform, and the hair on his forehead was braided into two braids, like some kind of ethnic minority.

The moment he saw Xia Lian, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've finally been able to contact you, Your Highness, what's going on over there?"

"Your Grand Duke, my father, Shasso Helios, has been laid to rest in the stars, and the Bahram family has violated the imperial covenant and launched an attack on us."

Xia didn't even look back and said.

The old man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't react, but then, his face turned pale and he looked at him in disbelief.

But Xia Lian won't give him time to react.

"Someone inside you has a problem, our itinerary and identification code have been leaked, and someone has mixed in disguised as Circe."

The old man's face turned even paler, and he lowered his head.

"It's my negligence, I'm going to find out this moth!

I'll send troops to support you at once. ”

"Nope." Charian vetoed the proposal, "Just guard Helios and don't mobilize any of the existing defenses." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, and looked at Xia Lian with some puzzlement, not only him, but some people in the control room couldn't help but look at Xia Lian.

"This stealth assault ship will produce slight fluctuations in time and space when it enters the speed of light, and Bahram's technical strength is similar to ours, which is impossible for them to detect.

And now, not only is there no mass field trying to cut off our faster-than-light speed, but there are not even any pursuers, do you think it's possible? ”

Xia Lian asked rhetorically.

His words stunned everyone present, and after they thought about it, a chill suddenly rose in their hearts.

"They were deliberately letting us go."

Xia Lian looked into the distance and said calmly.

"For this reason, they even delayed the capture of Cangxing, and the purpose is to allow us to escape, contact Helios Star, and then let the main force of Helios Star come to support.

In the end, he took advantage of the emptiness in the rear to attack the star Helios and completely cut off the foundation of the principality!

This is called encircling the point to send reinforcements, and the sound is attacking the west. ”

The old man reacted, gasped, and he turned to Xia Lian.

"But.... But what about you? ”

"After my father's death, according to the constitution of the principality, as the only blood of the Helios family remains, and I have reached adulthood, I should now be regarded as the legal supreme leader of the principality, right?"

"Yes."

Xia Lian skimmed the corner of his eye to the old man.

"You're questioning my decision?"

The old man hurriedly lowered his head.

"No... No. ”

"Then prepare me for battle, if Helios Star is lost, if you don't die, I will personally come to collect your body!"

Xia Lian's tone was very rough, but the old man didn't feel any offense, he raised his head and looked at Xia Lian, who was looking directly at the distance at the moment, with no hesitation in his eyes.

For some reason, the old man's panic because he learned the news of Xia Lian's father's death was gradually calming down, and he also had a little inexplicable relief.

His throat moved, trying to say something, but eventually, he lowered his head and a thousand words turned into a sentence.

"Yes! I will welcome you back on the planet Helios, Your Highness. ”

With that, communication was also disconnected.

While Mercury was silent, Xia Lian spoke slowly.

"Wang Zhen, turn on the ship-wide broadcast and broadcast the conversation in the main control room to everyone."

"Yes."

Wang Zhen responded, and then, he swiped the control panel in front of him with his finger void, and then turned his head and nodded at Xia Lian.

Xia Lian pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Bahram's main force defends the Atrumans on the border, and if he moves the army there, he threatens the security of the entire empire, and the Emperor cannot allow him to do so.

But at least two full fleets came to Cangxing.

And if they really lurk near Helios, waiting for Helios to send reinforcements, and take advantage of the emptiness in the rear to attack, then at least four full fleets will have to face the Star Ring's defense system.

Plus the fleet that is responsible for intercepting our retreat.....

In this way, the Bahram family has basically dispatched all the forces he can muster, and then there is one place where the defense is very weak..."

"Bahram Star." Mercury muttered softly.

In the 21st century, countries have capitals, and countries in the interstellar age naturally have areas that are political centers.

The star of Bahram is the "capital" of the other side.

Xia Lian's brain at this moment was clearer than ever, and the context of the entire battlefield was in his eyes, which was Athena's gift.

And this gift is the basis for him to be able to turn the tables at this moment.

"It's not an adventure, it's our only way to survive."

Xia Lian said seriously.

"Since they are going to let us out of Cangxing, they must have also considered the rest of our retreat, and there must be an ambush on the way to the Sea of Stars and the New Federation.

Only by attacking Bahram can we disrupt their original disposition, let these scattered troops return to defense, and make a gap for us.

The troops left behind on the planet will be saved, and the pressure on Helios will be relieved.

Time will once again be on our side. ”

Xia Lian glanced at everyone in the main control room.

"But it also represents the possibility that we may be surrounded by the main forces of the entire principality, or that we will all die there.

You now have two choices, one is to follow me and take this risk.

And two, this starship should still have a lot of carrier-based aircraft, and those of you who don't want to go can use carrier-based aircraft to leave, and with luck, you may be able to escape from their encirclement. ”

Xia Lian's words caused the main control room, and even the crew of the entire starship to fall into silence.

And Xia Lian didn't have time to react to them.

"We're about to get to Bahram, and I'm patient, but the enemy won't give you time to think."

Wang Zhen was the first to speak, "Are you insulting us?" Your Highness. ”

"I'm just giving you a choice, a defeat doesn't mean eternal defeat, death is." Xia Lian said calmly.

Wang Zhen was speechless, he glanced at the remaining four operators in the main control room.

"Do you want to escape?"

They didn't respond.

Then he said sonorously into the microphone.

"All the incumbent crew of the Kui Star Ship, if any of you want to escape, you can report it to me."

But more than a dozen seconds passed, and no one responded.

Wang Zhen looked at Xia Lian with an expression of no surprise.

"It seems that the answer is already clear."

Xia Lian was silent for a moment, his eyes flickering.

"I thought...... There will be more smart people. ”

"Your Highness, have you ever heard the wailing sound of a starship's light cannon shattering the earth?"

Wang Zhen asked Xia Lian seriously.

Xia Lian was silent, quietly watching him.

"Have you ever seen the scene of thousands of cannons firing at once, and countless starships falling to the earth?"

Ever heard the sound of bones shattering?

Do you smell the scorching smell of your flesh being roasted at high temperatures?

Or maybe you see the home you have lived in for more than ten years, and all the flames have been wiped out?

Scenes of parents or brothers slices of flesh plastered all over the walls? ”

Wang Zhen's eyes rippled, and he muttered softly.

"I've seen all of these, or rather, we've seen them all.

The reason why the Kui Star Ship is called the Kui Star Ship is because we all come from the same place, and that place is called the Kui Star.

Twelve years ago, it was invaded and destroyed by the Yaka people.

We lost our hometown and wandered around as interstellar nomads.

No one wants to take us, no one wants to share their land with us.

It was the Grand Duke who took us in, settled our families, and even defeated the Yakka and reclaimed our homeland.

Although we Kuixing people are savage, we also know what it means to know what it means to repay with grace.

The anger in our hearts is never less than yours.

None of us is cowardly, belated revenge that we have already experienced and do not want to experience a second time.

Cangxing still has our compatriots, and we don't want to abandon them anymore.

We have so many reasons, Your Highness. ”

At the same time, the warp voyage officially ended, and in front of them, in the distance of many kilometers, a planet that seemed to be wrapped in a golden glass ball floated in the star system.

There is a metal ring around the planet, and there are many sanitation weapons inside, even if there is no fleet to protect it, as a planet with the core of a country, self-defense capabilities are naturally not lacking.

However, seeing this scene, Xia Lian slowly grinned the corners of his mouth, with a confident, ambitious and crazy smile on his face, and said to Wang Zhen and everyone on the starship.

"Then, let this Duke of Bahram also listen to the wailing of the earth...."
