Chapter 204: Kadia asks for help
"Don't be emotional!" Crane was excited, "Do something, Lord Castle!" ”
Creed still didn't react, just took a puff of his cigar to hide his surprise and confusion.
Crane looked at Creed in disbelief, he couldn't believe that at this critical juncture when Cadia was facing life and death, the Supreme Castle Lord in front of him had just sighed, "What a hell of a life."
Creed is not used to showing emotions on his face, which makes him seem indifferent to the crisis that Cadia is facing, even like an outsider.
This personality even affected Kyle, who was also flat as he stood next to Creed.
"Four battleships, six heavy cruisers......"
Creed stared at Klein and slowly spoke out the information he had just looked at in various intelligences.
"Seven squadrons of cruisers."
"Fifteen squadrons of escort ships."
"That's the number of enemy navies that are appearing throughout the system, and from what I've gotten information, more and more enemy ships are pouring out of the rift near Mandeville Point."
After speaking, Creed stared at Klein and slowly asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”
Klein was stunned for a moment when asked, hesitated for a moment and then replied: "Mobilize the defenders......"
"The defense plan was drawn up and executed a week ago, and a total of six hundred regiments in the entire fortress world are guarding the various fortresses." Creed said.
"That'...... Orbital defense platform ......"
"They should have evaporated by now."
"That'...... And also...... Well, there's nothing else that can be done. ”
Crane thought about it for a long time, and finally realized that Creed had done everything he could.
More and more enemy ships are inexplicably appearing in the system, and every minute that passes a battleship of the Imperial Navy is being shattered.
Most of the ships of the Cadia fleet are not in the system, but are scattered throughout the Kadian Gate defense area, they are fighting the enemy ships, but who knows where the enemy got so many ships to get this one system.
The armies of the fortress world have long been stationed in various fortresses.
With the disparity in force between the enemy and the enemy and the disadvantage of his own side, Creed was unable to adjust his overall strategy.
But Crane thought about it for a while, and it suddenly occurred to him something that Creed could arrange.
"Your safety!" Klein pointed to the location of the Kadia High Command on the map, which is the Mirak Bastion, "Mobilize troops to focus on defending here, if you die, it's all over!" ”
When he heard this suggestion, Sergeant Kyle on the side looked embarrassed, Creed looked at Klein with complicated eyes, and after organizing the language in his heart, he said, "You were the commander of the Tyrone Army before...... Do you know this, that our Kadian army can't teleport from the north pole of the planet to the south pole in an instant. It will take time for the army to reach the Milak Ridge from the other bastions, and it is likely that the enemy will already be storming the surface by the time my order is heard. ”
Klein was stunned for a moment.
"You're too anxious and nervous, give me advice after calming down." Creed motioned for Kyle to pull out a chair for Crane, and then motioned for Crane to sit down slowly.
Klein sat down obediently, and he said to himself with a confused expression, "Why, why did the enemy suddenly appear in the galaxy...... How is this possible? ”
Instead of listening to Klein's nonsense, Creed silently wrote the papers.
Every now and then, someone would run into the office to report Creed's latest news, which was more desperate and too short of time than to allow the clerical staff time to write.
"Our fleet in the system has been destroyed, and they have protected Kadia until the very end."
"The mechanical priest in charge of maintaining the planet's defense shield reports that he will make sure the shield works as well as possible."
"Two eight-pointed star-like void structures emerge from the chasm."
"Those two void buildings shattered a planet!"
"The orbital defense platform has been destroyed, and we will never see the situation in the void again......"
One officer after another walked into the office, and after reporting the desperate information, they quickly left.
Creed finished writing the document in silence, then handed it to Klein along with a quill.
Klein took the document and looked at it, and found that it was a very formal request for help.
In the name of the current Lord of the Supreme Castle of Cadia, Creed asked for help from all the starfields of the Empire on behalf of the entire Cadia.
The Empire had long since sent a fleet and army to Kadia, and they were still on the way.
The only one that can respond quickly to calls for help is the Tyrone Sector on the northernmost edge of the Empire.
Creed had already made an agreement with Qin Mo, and at that time, even the entire Tyrone system had not yet been unified, so of course this agreement was valid, but Creed always had to write a document and go through the process.
Klein, who is the liaison, is required to sign the document, which is also part of the process.
"Your merchant ship isn't in the system, can you still send a message to the Tyrone system?" Creed asked.
"Yes, I just need to use the communicator to contact the merchant ship." Klein nodded, then picked up the quill to sign.
At the moment when the tip of the pen touched the document, Creed suddenly reached out and pressed Klein, reminding him solemnly: "Think about it, think about whether you are sure you want to get involved in the war here." This is not your war......"
Without the slightest hesitation, Klein continued to write his name and handed the document to Creed: "I am acting on orders, and I have no decision-making power. ”
Creed accepted the papers, sealed them in a box made of pure gold, locked them, and said to Klein, "You just need to relay one sentence: Cadia asks for help. ”
Crane nodded, and immediately took out the communicator to contact his merchant ship, asking them to send a communication to the Tyrone system, relaying what Creed said to the merchant ship, and then letting the merchant ship relay it to the communication station.
Since merchant ships are not in the system, the signals from the communicators need to travel for an hour in deep space before they can be picked up by merchant ships.
As Crane contacted the merchant ship, Creed got up and walked to the window, looking up at the purple sky of Cadia.
A blue wave appeared over the Mirak Fortress and gradually spread in all directions, until the entire fortress world was enveloped.
This is the planetary defense shield.
When the shield is activated, the enemy has used a weapon sufficient to destroy the entire planet.
The defensive shield was quickly attacked, and then fended off an attack that was enough to destroy the fortress world, and the entire fortress world trembled.
"Void building in the shape of an eight-pointed star......" Creed suddenly recalled the report he had heard earlier, and the attack might have come from the two void buildings that could destroy the planet.
However, while the shield is active, there is no need to worry about the fortress world being shattered.
Creed, staring at the sky, quickly felt sick, his eyeballs bloodshot and his head as if something was squeezing his brain tissue.
"Damn the rift." Creed said.
