Volume VIII Chapter 9 Heroes of the Empire
In the deep blue starry sky, countless brilliant lights of destruction shimmered together. From time to time, a battleship exploded into a ball of fire in the light.
The troll warships scattered all over the world were densely packed, and one or two battleships were bombed, completely unable to affect the overall situation.
Although the Empire's galaxy-class warships desperately resisted, they could only keep retreating under the huge numerical disadvantage
A large planet converted into a military base, the main guns are constantly fired, and most of the troll warships are destroyed by the base's main guns. The military base also became the strongest front-line fortress.
Suddenly, a giant troll warship erupted in a dark green pillar of light. Spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers, the dark green pillars of light silently run through military bases. Then, slowly shattering, disintegrating, and collapsing.
The military base is like an egg laid by an iron rod, which is smashed and smashed in one fell swoop.
The picture on the light screen suddenly freezes.
The dark green pillars of light across the starry sky and the shattered base froze there, vividly interpreting the two elements of power and destruction.
The Emperor of Light on the throne had a calm face, "Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
The prime minister, the minister of national defense, the chief of the general staff, the two vice chairmen of the Military Control Commission, and the top head of the central government in charge of the military were all present. In the face of the angry questioning of the Emperor of Light, everyone lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, and no one wanted to come out at this time.
The responsibility of the Minister of Defense was to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, this incident happened suddenly, and the military was not prepared at all. According to the news coming back from the front, it can be determined that this is a life race troll from an extragalactic galaxy. ”
"Trolls, why are they attacking the Andromeda base directly, instead of going to the nearby Odin Empire Perseus?" the Emperor of Light asked again.
The Minister of Defense sighed secretly, saying that it was an accident, although the emperor was unreasonable, although he was dissatisfied, the Minister of Defense did not dare to show it, so he could only continue to explain: "The preliminary analysis of the General Staff shows that the enemy is premeditated to attack Andromeda. We suspect that the trolls are in collusion with the Odin Empire or the Titan Empire......"
Of course, the Minister of Defense has no evidence, but this does not prevent him from using his imagination to describe the situation as bad as possible
The Prime Minister couldn't hear it, and frowned: "These situations are just speculations now, we can't be too nervous about the war in the border star field." To maintain the stability of the empire. Be sure to block Andromeda messages
There has been no large-scale war for hundreds of years, and politicians like the prime minister have not yet realized the gravity of the situation.
Several people in the military were silent, and they were all dissatisfied with the prime minister's methods, but they didn't say much in front of the emperor.
The Minister of Defense didn't care about this, and said loudly: "There are 40,000 troll warships, and because they are biochemical warships, there are great individual differences. The individual trolls are also very powerful, and the number of opponents is probably more than 500 million in terms of the number of warships. According to preliminary estimates, we need at least twenty Thunder fleets to defeat them. With billions of people involved in a battle of this scale, we can't block the news and we don't need to block it."
The proposal was vetoed by the Minister of Defense in person, and the Prime Minister was also a little unhappy. But he was much deeper than the Minister of Defense, his expression did not move, but nodded and said: "I have thought about this matter a little inconsiderately." However, I don't think it's time to make an announcement. When we're ready, we'll reveal it to the public......"
The Bright Emperor nodded, this is also Lao Cheng's way of taking it seriously.
"If the trolls continue to attack the Empire, the Cangyun Galaxy, the Pegasus Galaxy, the Cancer Galaxy, the Southern Cross Galaxy, and the Empire's Silverheart-facing border star fields will all be in danger. ”
The Minister of Defense stood up, pointed to the star map on the light screen, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, according to my idea, immediately transfer the armies of various star fields to form a joint fleet. Take advantage of the trolls' unstable foothold and eradicate them with a thunderbolt. ”
The Prime Minister said to him: "The Odin Empire is eyeing us, and the Aquarius nezumi people, Aries blue-blooded people, and green wood people have all been ready to move in the past few years. If we show weakness, they will immediately stir up trouble. We must be cautious and not give the enemy any chance. ”
The Minister of Defense was furious, "If we don't act quickly, tens of billions of people in these border star fields will be surrounded by war." Do you take this responsibility?"
The Prime Minister asked rhetorically with the same force: "If the United Army fails and causes unrest in the heart of the empire, can you take this responsibility?"
The Bright Emperor did not speak, and the Prime Minister's strategy seemed passive, even a little stupid, but there was a reason here.
The Border Fields have been essentially autonomous all the time, and the central government's executive orders have been virtually ineffective there
As Prime Minister, he naturally had in mind the interests of the central region of the empire. Trolls want to attack the Boundary Domain, and what they consume is the strength of the Boundary Field. With such layers of consumption, even if the trolls can enter the central area of the empire, it is not a problem.
It's just that this method is too insidious for the prime minister to say clearly.
The Minister of Defense also has his position, and if he allows the trolls to wreak havoc in the Border Space, he will be under tremendous pressure. As a soldier, he is also more eager to achieve a hearty victory.
The Bright Emperor thought about it, and the prime minister's strategy was undoubtedly more practical and in line with the interests of the empire.
"The Troll Fleet is strong, and the Thunder Fleet has been defeated. We can't afford to act rashly. Prepare the nearby star fields first. Keep an eye on the trolls. As for the formation of the combined fleet, the military department first made a detailed plan......"
The Minister of Defense was disappointed, as were the generals of the military. In doing so, the Empire is effectively ceding the initiative to the enemy.
Imperial power is supreme and inviolable. No one dared to oppose the decision made by the emperor, and no one could oppose it.
Suddenly, the Minister of Defense raised his eyebrows and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I received an urgent military report from the front. The Thunder Fleet Seventh Fleet reported that they had retreated from the constellation Andromeda to the Cangyun system. The trolls sent a pursuit fleet, but they were severely damaged by Gao Feng, the supreme commander of the Cangyun Galaxy's defense zone, and fled in embarrassment......"
Speaking of this victory, the Minister of Defense raised his thick eyebrows, and his eyes flashed with irrepressible joy.
After an almost unbearable fiasco, Gao Feng's small victory was so dazzling.
Admittedly, the Thunder Fleet showed a lot of great qualities, perseverance, bravery, sacrifice, and so on. But they were defeated, defeated, and the whole fleet was crippled. Perhaps from today onwards, this number of the Thunder Fleet will be abolished.
No matter how great a defeat is, it is not as good as the humblest victory
It's cold to judge heroes by winning or losing, but there's no doubt that that's the reality.
Hearing Gao Feng's name, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the Bright Emperor. He had almost forgotten about the youngest gold master who had been silent for a few years. I didn't expect it to suddenly shine at this time.
"You can really shine there......" Emperor Bright thought secretly, and was a little curious about the actual battle situation. Ordered: "Is there a video of the battle, release it and watch it." ”
The Minister of Defense nodded, he was also interested in the situation on the ground.
The confidential information transmitted over the quantum optical network is decrypted by permission and converted into a video signal on the optical screen.
In the same starry background, a figure in dark golden light armor stood proudly.
"Is this Gao Feng?" asked the prime minister, a little confused. He knew the name Gao Feng, but he didn't pay much attention to it. As Prime Minister, he was not fit to get in touch with the geniuses of the Templars.
"Yes, this is Gao Feng. The light armor refined by ancient methods, Gao Feng called himself the Battle Dragon Armor. Three years ago, Gao Feng beat Oroel on the eve of the celebration of the Bright Academy. ”
The Chief of the General Staff gave a few words of explanation to the Prime Minister in a serious whisper. The defense minister and the prime minister had a very stiff quarrel just now, and he did this to ease some of the tense atmosphere between the two sides.
Except for the prime minister, everyone present knew Gao Feng. Especially that set of battle dragon armor, it is even more impressive. As long as you have seen it, you will never forget it.
The sword light shone brightly, slashing two troll warships in a row.
Everyone's eyes were staring. Those who can sit here are all gold-level powerhouses. can all experience the grandeur and fierceness of Gao Feng's swordsmanship. The sharp sword light seemed to penetrate out of the light screen and pierced into everyone's hearts.
Although he was not afraid, everyone couldn't help but be intimidated by the indestructible sword.
The Emperor of Light was silent on his face, but he was secretly shocked in his heart. The glorious sword that Gao Feng used had clearly obtained the essence of swordsmanship. The sword technique contained in the Templar was mutilated, how could he do that?
Originally, Emperor Guangming had a guess that Gao Feng had something to do with the missing king of the royal family. Seeing this, I am even more convinced.
Soon, it was the scene where Gao Feng and the opponent's mad demon shockwave were fighting.
Seeing the source power value displayed on the light screen, everyone's expressions became solemn. Only the strong gold can truly understand the meaning. in order to understand the terrifying power contained in it.
When the light screen went white, almost everyone scolded in their hearts.
By the time the light screen returns to normal, the opponent's troll ship has been destroyed. Although everyone is strong, it is difficult to guess the battle situation just now.
After Gao Feng swung his sword again and slashed three troll warships in a row, the enemy had to flee in confusion.
Seeing this, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the battle just now was only a few minutes, it was particularly intense and tense. The nervousness made onlookers feel breathless.
"Good, good boys, real heroes"
The Minister of Defense did not hesitate to say anything and praised it. Gao Feng, who slashed seven enemy ships in a row with two swords alone, forcing the enemy to flee in embarrassment, also deserves this praise.
The Chief of the General Staff also praised seriously: "It is really worthy of the peerless genius of the empire, such a majestic and vicious spirit, greatly increasing our momentum." ”
"It's amazing. "The prime minister must also admit that Gao Fengyu is too beautiful.
Although the others did not speak, they nodded their heads in appreciation.
The Emperor of Light was silent on the surface, but he was the most shocked in his heart. Gao Feng's attainments in the Bright Sword seem to be not inferior to him. This made him faintly uneasy.
The Minister of Defense said loudly: "We must not only reward such an imperial hero, but also vigorously publicize ......"
