415 The decisive battle is coming
When he saw Peterson and this group of young people from Sakaxing, Yang Wei's prepared words swallowed back.
In fact, there is no need to say anything.
Since they choose to stand up, they have to bear the risks and costs of being heroes.
Peterson's gaze became calm and heavy, and his young face had a sense of vicissitudes on it, and his expression remained as calm as possible.
"Well done."
Yang Wei patted Peterson's arm and sighed slowly:
"You can ha, I will use my connections to arrange you in the rear, and you will go to find a drudgery to fight the bugs."
"I'm sorry, my lord, I know these ships are worth a lot of money......"
"Why are ships worth a lot of money, aren't they all man-made?"
Yang Wei interrupted Peterson's words and said in a low voice:
"A general must learn not only how to make soldiers die, but also how to keep soldiers alive and how to give meaning to their deaths.
"This is against the natural disaster, and the bereavement of the soldiers who died in the war is paid three times the rate we have set, so that Governor Godoy can take care of their families.
"The discount rate is 60%...... Can this battle be fought like this? β
Peterson bowed his head and did not dare to speak.
"Okay, don't put any pressure on yourself, you were at the front, I saw it.
"Take their share and continue to fight, this is the best consolation for the sacrificed soldiers, remember?"
"Well," Peterson pulled an ugly grin, "I understand." β
Yang Wei snorted, his eyes swept over these young people, and he frowned: "Let's all go back to work, I will rest on this ship with Po Shao for a while, form a battle formation to harvest as many insects as possible, and the two of us can absorb nutrients from the insects." β
"Yes!"
The group of soldiers from Saka saluted at the same time and hurried back to their posts.
They obviously have a temperament that they didn't have before.
But as long as Yang Wei thought that these soldiers were his personal followers, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
There were only 10 million natives left in that place on Saka Star;
These young people who joined his personal guard had suffered a lot when they were children, suffered from the economic recession, and endured the difficulties of the insect plague, but now that life is better, they have lost their lives here in the starry sky.
Of course, soldiers from other armies are also soldiers, and the value of the two is the same, although Yang Wei is a bit of a calf protector, he will not feel that his soldiers are more valuable than other soldiers.
But he just felt a little depressed.
'I'm probably that big. β
Yang Wei did a chest expansion exercise and beckoned Po Xiao to go to the corner of the cabin to rest.
There's a tough battle ahead, and they have to adjust as soon as possible.
The Great Queen also has a 'Battle Song' to lure the life forms of the ancient gods, but this thing has to be guarded against.
β¦β¦
This is war.
Revell moved a chair and sat in front of the porthole, staring at the husks of a dozen ships that had been dragged back in the starry sky.
It was a ship that had been attacked by bugs and had not had time to detonate itself.
He could vaguely see that the corpses stacked up into a small mountain had swelled into a somewhat terrifying appearance in the cold universe, densely packed, with hundreds to thousands of people on each ship.
Revell suddenly felt that the use of all kinds of semi-automatic machines and interned artificial intelligence was indeed a very good thing.
Otherwise, a thousand-meter-class warship will have thousands of soldiers and technicians to operate and maintain, and in such a war, the number of casualties will increase several times.
In less than half an hour, 293,000 soldiers died.
Revere couldn't imagine what a tragic situation it was when there had been a battle ahead, and even the battlefield where the 'Main Insect Tide' had broken out.
This is the next day.
Insects have no human feelings, they should not feel grief, they are more like indifferent biological machines, accurately executing the instructions given by the mother worm, for the advancement and ascension of the mother worm, plundering everything in the starry sky.
But humans can't.
Revere couldn't say a word for a long time.
At this moment, when he looked at the official front-line battle report, what he saw was no longer cold words, but the mountains of corpses piled up, those horrible-looking corpses, and the almost endless swarms of insects.
"Lord Earl," said the staff officer, walking briskly, "the military department has sent you a commendation order, and your outstanding performance in this battle has won the positive praise of the generals. β
Revell frowned and glanced at the staff officer.
He was somewhat disgusted with these officialdom styles.
"I didn't do anything," Revell said calmly, "the orders were given by the Imperial Guard system, I just stood up and cheered everyone up, and then I ended my mission." β
The staff officer said slowly: "The Imperial Guard system is always only an auxiliary. β
"I didn't do anything!"
Revell stood up suddenly.
The chair was tossed backwards, and Revell grabbed the staff officer by the collar and glared at the officer with angry eyes:
"We didn't do anything! That's what the generals and officers of the empire do, right? We haven't given a single meaningful order! We've watched the Imperial Guard system kill so many humans!
"We didn't even try to save lives!
"Answer me! Aren't all the generals of the empire such a piece of waste! They will only hide behind the Imperial Guard system! β
"Count Revere," the staff officer frowned slightly, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "you are under too much pressure, relax, everyone will be afraid in the face of bugs, what we have to do is to face our fears." β
"Fuck the fear!"
Revell and pushed the staff officer away, taking two steps back, squeezing his eyes hard, his voice trembling a little.
"Sorry...... Sorry, I'm a little ......"
"It's normal, and taking a deep breath makes you feel better."
The staff officer said softly:
"You also had a very good performance in the previous insect plague when the new federal insect burial plan was detonated, but there are many differences between these two insect plagues.
"Last time the insect plague, our biggest trouble was that dozens of insect swarms were activated by the new federation simultaneously, and we could only temporarily use conventional forces, unable to activate the real power of the empire.
"The insect swarm I faced that time were also some insects that had a short development time and were barely fourth-order.
"Now, it is the insect swarm on the edge of the galaxy, in the extinction attack on human civilization, there have been more than a dozen small governments failed to fight the insect plague, and disappeared permanently in the galaxy territory, the empire with its own heritage, barely able to resist the insect tide.
"It's bound to come at a huge sacrifice...... In fact, we have embellished the figures that have been released to the public so as not to cause public panic......"
Revell covered his head with his hands, leaned his back against the porthole, and slowly sat down on the ground: "What can we do?" β
"We are all small, we are all just cogs on this battlefield," the staff officer said warmly, "Even if it is Major General Hanton, our hero, he is just a cog of the big one, and if you want to resist the insect tide, you need to rely on enough soldiers, enough ships, enough firepower, and efficient control of all fire points." β
"My idol is nearby, right?"
"He's already maneuvering toward the frontal battlefield," said the staff officer, "and about five minutes ago, he arrived at the Saka convoy and headed for the main battlefield while harvesting scattered bugs, and we got some interesting orders. β
Revere's mood eased a lot, and he asked softly, "What order?" β
"Drive these brainless bugs that have lost their command center in the direction of Hanton's ship, and kill the bugs near him and the Valkyrie, so as to recharge the two ancient gods."
Two question marks appeared on Revere's forehead.
"That's it," the staff officer shrugged, "it's a force we can't understand. β
"Did I just blow up?" Revell grinned, "It occurred to me, my idol, who has been fighting a life like bugs since the very beginning......"
The staff officer laughed: "The first time I faced a battle with high casualties, I was even more emotionally broken, you are already excellent among young people. β
"No, no, no, I'm just an ordinary person," Revell shook his head and took out his network access terminal, "If there is any problem in the future, let the emperor guard system directly, and I will go and give my idol some gifts." β
Staff Officer: ......
Undoubtedly, this is the basic quality of a good commander.
β¦β¦
A formation of more than 200 miscellaneous ships escorted Yang Wei and Bo Sa all the way to the north.
After more than half an hour of rest, as well as a steady stream of strange creatures replenished, Yang Wei and Po Sa had already filled the previous gap.
When Li reappeared, Yang Wei was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, disassembling two laser pistols.
The latter belongs to the type of tube disassembly and installation.
"Major General Hanton," Lee called softly.
Her projection attracted the attention of many young people from Saka, but after they looked at it for a while, the "Imperial Security Secrecy Clause" automatically popped up on their respective network access terminals or on various screens in front of them.
Yang Wei didn't open his eyes, and said, "Just talk about the next battle plan." β
"Allow me to summarize the current situation first."
Li's voice and intonation visibly became polite to the naked eye.
She said softly:
"According to the data we detected, the 'courier' you threw out blew up the pseudo-queen and directly exposed the coordinates of the big queen's hiding.
"To a certain extent, we took some initiative.
"But the current situation is not optimistic, from the perspective of the galaxy, the continuous attack of the Zerg, except for the Sherman Empire, the New Federation, the Free States, and the GΓΌell Alliance, most of the small and medium-sized governments that have been attacked by the insect plague are in trouble.
"Fifth-order adults and sixth-order adults are powerful enemies that cannot be defeated by the fleets of small countries.
"In the last two galactic hours, six governments have fallen to the entire realm......"
Yang Wei opened his eyes and looked at Xiang Li: "Is it so serious?" β
Po Sa also looked up.
Li nodded slightly: "Although things outside the territory of the empire have nothing to do with me, this is the rule I have been written into, but from a humanitarian point of view, as well as the mission and responsibility of the Sherman Empire in the galaxy, we should do our best to end this insect tide as soon as possible." β
In her words, Yang Wei captured some information.
However, now is not the time to pursue these details.
Yang Wei asked, "How do you want to solve it?" β
Li said quickly: "According to our previous ideas, we can directly lead the Great Queen out, destroy her or repel her." β
"Specific steps," Yang Wei said directly, "I want to know the Empire's hole cards." β
"The specific steps require me to adjust to the changes in the battlefield environment, and I can show you some of the plans."
Li raised his hand and drew a square box, in which an overview of the environment of the star field of the main battlefield appeared.
"The initiator of this insect tide is this Great Queen, if the Great Queen dies, her direct sixth-order insect swarm will collapse, and the pseudo-female worm split from her body will also die.
"Now, we have three weapons that can defeat the Great Queen."
A thousand-kilometer-tall 'Final' female worm appeared in the corner of the battlefield.
"She's probably in this position," Li whispered.
Po asked, "Which three?" β
"The first, the Strange Matter Bomb."
The corners of Li's mouth showed a little arc:
"This is a weapon that can be carried by individual soldiers, because of the special nature of the strange substance, we only need one cubic centimeter of the strange substance to touch the queen's body, and we can defeat the queen in a very short time.
"This seems to be a very feasible plan, but in fact, I have gone through 120,000 deductions, and none of them have succeeded.
"So, two people carrying strange matter bombs can be used as the first feint."
Feint?
Yang Wei nodded: "I like this kind of work, and I also like your words, at least, you don't have the power to superstitious Faya." β
Li said indifferently: "The Faya people are not reliable. β
Then he said, "Yang Wei and Po Su hugged their arms at the same time, and their movements, postures and demeanor were a little similar.
Li continued: "Your feint is only a superficial feint, I will arrange for the whole army to cooperate with you in this play, the only thing you have to do is to determine the exact location of the Great Queen, and then, hand over our conventional force Terminator weapons." β
On the right-hand side of Rie, a giant fortress with a diameter of several kilometers appeared.
Imperial Wrath Fortress.
Without waiting for Yang Wei to speak, Li continued: "As long as this stellar cannon is stuffed, there is hope to severely damage the queen, but it is not 100% capable of heavy damage. β
Yang Wei asked, "Can't the star cannon?" β
"Did you notice? This queen is like a planet now. β
Li said softly:
"She is actually a three-layer structure, the outermost layer is formed by the special substance of the high-dimensional space, similar to a kind of armor, and the middle layer is her old metamorphosis, that is, the original body, which has been connected to the outer layer, and the innermost layer is the real high-dimensional life form.
"After repeated calculations, the Stellar Cannon was only able to break her shell, causing trauma to the middle layer.
"Ideally, she would have to unleash her mental network under the bombardment of the stellar cannon, which also means that she has lost control of the insect tide in our current dimension, and the pseudo-mother worm will also collapse on its own.
"It's like a mastermind, forcibly leaving its CPU from the host."
Yang Wei asked, "What if the star cannon fails to meet expectations?" β
"I'll just use the Empire's unconventional ultimate force."
"What?"
"Before it appears, it's the Empire's top secret," Rie's gaze was a little playful, "you should be able to guess." β
Yang Wei frowned and said, "I hate Riddler. β
"Do you need to do anything to prepare?" Li calmly diverted the topic, "Out of consideration for the overall civilization of the galaxy, we need to launch a conquest of the Great Queen as soon as possible. β
The corners of Yang Wei's mouth twitched slightly.
The few thoughts swirling in his heart had already begun to come alive.
Yang Wei said: "Bligh who I was going to transfer before, that asexual angel, a super-reformer who is good at mind control, why hasn't he come over?" β
"He's a first-class danger to me," Li said indifferently, "I can't use him." β
"I see," Yang Wei asked again, "Then I have three conditions, the first is to let my assistant always be by my side, I think, you will not refuse to cooperate with her." β
Li bowed his head lightly: "If she doesn't reject, I can agree." β
"Second, you have to ensure the safety of me and my mother-in-law."
"Rest assured, you have earned my respect in this series of battles," Li said quickly, "and you are the most important helper to me until I achieve my strategic goals. β
"It's a double meaning, isn't it?"
"I'm sorry, I don't understand your hint."
"Well, third," Yang Hao took a deep breath, "I want you to promise that the people of the Empire have the right to know the details of the insect tide. β
Li thought for a moment and bowed his head slightly: "Please prepare for the attack, the Dongfeng and the escort fleet are about to arrive." β
Her form was about to dissipate.
"Emperor Guard!"
Yang Wei suddenly called out to her.
"Huh?" Li expressed his doubts appropriately.
Yang Wei asked: "You just borrowed me to fight against the big queen?" β
Li looked at Yang Wei calmly, and his figure turned into a point of light and dissipated.
Yang Wei seemed to see her smile, but only in a trance.
