Chapter 637 Early Warning Before the Lion's Den

According to statistics so far, a total of 2,414 civilians died in the sudden disaster on the planet Sarna, including more than 600 civilians, mainly citizens of Crystal City. The number of soldiers is close to 1,800, including armored grenadiers and security personnel who died in battles with virtual monsters on the ground, as well as crew members who fought against star-eating insects in space.

To be honest, if these death tolls did not include Count Seliola, this number of casualties would not even be comparable to a moderate shipwreck, and would be nothing to the empire.

In comparison, the "Glory Mission" military exercise, which used more than 3,000 battleships, the entire sector and border garrison defense force, and more than 4 million imperial soldiers, was an important military activity used by the Galactic Empire to show off its force. How could it end with a disgraced face?

As a result, the empire's propaganda department immediately exerted its due institutional advantages and directly blocked all events that occurred on Sarna Planet through various channels. After all, it is not an event like the God of War Festival that is broadcast live across the universe. With the capabilities of the Galactic Empire, it is too easy to block the news.

Yu Lian is now online and can't find any discussion about the situation here. He estimated that not only the Imperial City, but Luyuanxing might not even know what was going on. In a few years, I'm afraid it will become an interstellar legend without any evidence at all.

Anyway, this kind of interstellar legend has never been lacking before.

What, you said that planet Sarna 4 is mineralized? This planet has never existed. It has been an asteroid belt since the day the universe appeared. Your past cognition must be an illusion!

Then, the Glory Mission exercise, which had been suspended for a week, started again.

The Twelve Garrison Division, which had just finished a difficult battle, and the Astral Knights of Viscount Shameen, also entered the battlefield again.

In fact, they have achieved good results in unexpected actual combat. It is reasonable to say that they can withdraw from the exercise and go back to repair. However, the proud Viscount Shameen said that their original order was to participate in the "Glory Mission." Now, the troops maintain more than 90% of their combat effectiveness, so there is no reason to abandon the mission.

...Well, of course, the reserve fleet still suffered some losses. One Clear Sky and two Holy Shields were sunk by the Star Eater, but since they are a fleet affiliated with the Knights, they are originally intended to provide backup support to the Knights. As long as the flagship "Yaoguang Goddess", written as a transport ship or read as an aircraft carrier, does not sink , they can still fight.

His words were echoed by most of his comrades, at least on the surface.

However, in Yu Lian's view, the knights' surprise attack on the Lion's Den Fortress could no longer continue, and their morale was still somewhat affected.

Before the knights left Sarna, Shameen came to say goodbye to Yu Lian in person. He expressed his gratitude to Yu Lian again in a routine, expressed the "friendship" of the community and the alliance in a routine, expressed his silence and apology for Major Poppas in a routine, and then prepared to say goodbye in a routine.

Although it was a routine but also very decent, Yu Lian felt the fatigue on his body. He must have been formulating the next battle plan overnight, so he deliberately reminded: "The more you are a leader, the more you must learn to pay attention to rest. .In addition, you can also listen to Colonel Soback’s opinions more.”

"I will." Shameen glanced at Yu Lian, and his tone was a little more sincere: "Indeed, you are the first person to discover his potential! Your vision is the same as your strength. That's admirable. If you were not from Earth, I would actually be happy to serve under you."

He said this in front of many people. Yu Lian always felt that this guy was suspected of being a quarrel, so Ben Dang didn't hear anything, he just smiled and shook hands and left immediately.

Of course, what puzzled him was his attitude towards Colonel Soback.

"That boy Shameen seems to really regard Sobek as a talent? Well, is it possible that this guy is actually a hidden expert?"

On the other side, Shameen, who had returned to the Yaoguang Goddess and was about to set off, also found Soback and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Yeager. Without your Plan B, our next step would be I don’t even know what to do.”

"B, plan B?"

"Yes! It is the plan of DS124 galaxy to be on standby and wait for opportunities to fight. It was originally a backup plan prepared for us to fail in attacking Sarna, but now it is really used! Predict defeat before you predict victory. This is the art of war. Common sense, many people understand this truth, but they often lose their minds at critical moments. I am very lucky to have a sensible comrade like you!"

Colonel Soback opened his mouth slightly. Although he wanted to say that he just wanted to live in that hidden galaxy, when he came to his mouth, he said: "This is the duty of the subordinate... In addition, I just asked Bai Admiral Ya, we communicated with Lieutenant General Fisher of the Selection, and the other party agreed to allocate some live ammunition to us."

He continued to explain: "Too many things have happened during this period, and I am really a little uneasy. If our fleet has enough live ammunition to deal with one or two battles, we can deal with those virtual monsters and the Star Eater You don’t have to work so hard. I have already applied to the exercise director, and His Highness has approved it. I just ask for the live ammunition to be packed in boxes. You and Admiral Bai Ya will each get one copy of the password."

"I can rest assured that you will do the work. Just do it as you say." Viscount Shameen paused and then said: "In addition, I have reported your achievements in this battle to the Knights headquarters. If everything goes well, wait until After the exercise, you should be able to wear a dragon tattoo on your back."

The empire uses dragon patterns to represent general ranks.

Soback was overjoyed, thinking that he had indeed become an astral knight and became the emperor's direct personal soldier. His promotion was so fast! He can't wait to take the entire fleet to DS124 to survive until the day when the exercise is over and he returns to the imperial capital to be awarded medals.

"But it's unreasonable for a general of the Knights to only have a second-level strength. During this period, I will personally train you when I have time." Shameen added: "In addition, I will also ask Count Seliora , I have formulated a training plan for you."

Sobek suddenly couldn't be happy anymore.

In this way, the knights once again embarked on the journey with confidence. Of course they didn't know that Count Seliora had died in Sarna. Now, this sad news is still an absolute secret, only known to the discoverer of his body and the top bosses of the empire.

The situation on Sarna planet calmed down, and Yu Lian also received a message from the leader of the observation team on Luyuan planet, the old principal General Maxer, asking them to put their safety first and go to Luyuan planet first. Peace is good.

"Although the empire has blocked the news, it can't be hidden from the top leaders of other countries. What's more, there are still people dead on our side... In short, the earth already knows what happened in Sarna, and the chairman is worried about everyone's safety. All members of the observation team are required to gather at Luyuan Star. After all, it is the capital of the Empire’s Extreme Sector, and it is also where the exercise director’s department and the blue team’s headquarters are located. It is tightly guarded and has good security," the old principal said.

"The order was given by the Chairman himself? His Excellency, Chairman of the National Defense Commission Nihita."

"Isn't it him?" General Maxell smiled and said: "He mentioned your name four times in the order, asking me to give you a death order. Your Excellency, Chairman of the Generalissimo, is really worried about you. Safe."

Yu Lian felt so tired that he almost got goosebumps all over his body, but he still showed the right touch: "It's... really worrying for him! Don't worry, I'll leave right away."

In any case, at least now His Excellency Chairman Keith Nichta is still his "backer", and his concerns about himself should still be somewhat real, and in the Sarna galaxy, the The digging is almost done, and there is really no need to stay in this stupid place.

So, the day after Shameen and his knights left, he was ready to set off. Of course, before leaving, you should still visit your friends here. So, Yu Lian took advantage of the last morning before leaving to visit General Griffith and Engineering Officer Jango at the field hospital.

...Well, it is now certain that General Griffith and the others did come to inspect the ruins, but it is difficult to say whether they were influenced by Heiros. Everything that happened after that was considered a disaster.

Fortunately, they seemed to be in good spirits. When they were soaking in the petri dish, they felt a little fatter than the last time they met.

Engineer Officer Zhan Guo was seriously injured and is still sleeping. General Griffith is awake. However, he was soaked in a petri dish to heal his injuries. Of course, he couldn't speak with the robot, so he sent a message directly to Yu Lian. conversation by writing.

"Don't worry, I have copied everything in the coordination factory. This operation is a success. When the amusement park is built, remember to come and play! I will send you a lifetime pass."

"I want ten...ah, no, that's not the point. I said, are you really okay now? Didn't the Empire ask you for questions during this time?"

"Of course we will ask questions. But we know nothing about Heiros! It seems that he is still a little dissatisfied with the country's policies! But it is really unexpected that he would choose a strange secret society. However, the sixth-ring psyker is indeed the only one in the history of our race, which is actually quite exciting. Now that he has chosen his own path, I have nothing to say but gratitude. The General Council has decided to Let’s build a statue of him.”

The Pallarian general paused and sent another message: "It's just that his actions have caused losses to the country, so he is naturally the enemy of the Iron Legion. If we meet next time, we will deal with it as a natural disaster. of."

"...Didn't you say you were going to erect a statue for him?" Yu Lianqi said.

"It's not a conflict," the general said.

Well, probably only a population that is so "open-minded" and so heartless can form such an optimistic race. Oh, yes, the people of Palla don't have hearts in the first place. That's literally heartless!

"Anyway, I don't know if you ask me. The empire can't keep me, a dignified general, here for the rest of my life. Don't worry, I will return home on my own once my injury is healed. Also, about the palladium plating I promised you For the alloy production line, remember to ask the management of the Red Maple Factory to contact our Industrial Management Department. As for the nano repair ship, it is still under review and approval, but it is not a big problem."

Yu Lian looked at General Griffith's three pairs of big, watery eyes, and immediately understood what the other party meant, and he smiled and nodded gratefully: "As long as you think it's worth it, then it's worth it."

After saying goodbye to General Griffith, Yu Lian could naturally say goodbye to the Sarna star that had lost its value.

As for Miss Yamida Belenkeist, she had left three days ago, leaving all the follow-up projects of the sanatorium and water park to her assistant B.

It must be said that the eldest daughter of the Bei family has been stranded on this small remote planet for such a long time, and she really feels it. If he doesn't leave, someone will probably become suspicious.

The eldest lady is so cool, she didn't even show up in person to say goodbye, but just made a phone call. However, considering that Feifei was by his side, Yu Lian was quite grateful to Yani for her knowledge. This can be regarded as a kind of "consideration".

"Tsk, you didn't even come to say goodbye in person. No matter how you look at it, you are trying to hide it." Feifei snorted coldly, very dissatisfied, and then calmly put her slender jade fingers on Yu Lian's waist and pinched a little bit. The skin of the meat is gently rubbed, slowly twisted and then picked again.

Yu Lian now knows two truths. First, when a girl determines what the situation is, no matter what you say, it will be useless. Secondly, when a girl is angry, she always likes to use her nails to gently rub your soft flesh, slowly twist it and then pick it up. Third, a girl who is willing to caress you gently, slowly, and repeatedly, actually loves you.

Well, there are actually three truths in two. Isn’t this common sense?

Therefore, Yu Lian decided to pretend that he had neither seen nor felt anything, and said to his senior brother: "You should have gained a lot from your battle with Count Seliora, right? Can you let me see it?"

Tantai Jing hid his sympathetic eyes under Yuan Ting Yue Zhi's expert demeanor, and said solemnly: "Very good. Prepare the props. This time, you have to experience it like the protagonist of "One-Armed Lightsaber" The true way to balance.”

"The action director of this film is also our senior brother?" Yu Lian was shocked.

"No, it's the teacher."

At this moment, in the No. 14 Deep Space Monitoring Station in the Lion's Cave Star Territory of the Extreme Frontier Guards, the deputy station commander, Lieutenant Belloma, was wearing headphones and watching the scene on the screen attentively. It was a scene with only one person left. The one-armed Earth hero, holding a dark green lightsaber, fights with more than twenty fierce enemies.

The lieutenant's blood was boiling at the sight. It wasn't until someone tapped him on the shoulder that he subconsciously screamed and jumped up. When he looked back, the person who caught his eye was the station commander, Captain Lu Duo.

"One-Armed Lightsaber? Is this movie too old?"

"Only old movies are classics!" the deputy webmaster said angrily: "What, is it time to change shifts?"

"No, I just came down to get some food." The stationmaster sighed: "Looking for a way to take a breather. There is no vacation in the third shift. Even a brave warrior like me can't bear it."

Lieutenant Belloma couldn't help but sigh, wiped his tired cheeks, and immediately his face was oiled. It's been a long time since he took a serious break. Being able to squeeze in and watch classic clips from classic old movies was the limit.

There was no way. Since the start of the "Honorary Mission", the vacations of all the defenders of the Lion's Den Fortress were cancelled, in order to ensure the stability of frontline logistics. After the sudden change in the Sarna system, the 800,000 defenders in the entire fortress and all surrounding branch facilities all returned to their combat positions within half an hour and entered a state of first-level combat readiness.

It turned out later that this was indeed just a false alarm, but it did exhaust the whole army to death, and they still haven't recovered yet.

"I always hope that the exercise can end soon." Lieutenant Belloma yawned: "I really want to go to Blue Bay to eat the fried sandworm platter!"

"You want to go there to eat young ladies, right?" Captain Lu Duo said angrily, and then changed the topic: "Anyway, if something happens, it will be in the direction of the exercise in the Jijiang Star Region. It has nothing to do with us. As long as we make good arrangements for it, Just keep it to yourself."

"That's right, we are an outpost checking the direction of the galactic center. But the predators have not dared to harass the lion's den for eighteen years."

As soon as Lieutenant Belloma finished speaking, the siren sounded at the right time. The stationmaster couldn't help but stare at him with dead eyes. The lieutenant couldn't help but said: "This, could it be some space floating objects?"

"Captain Lu Duo, Lieutenant Belloma, it is confirmed that the No. 3 gravity well is opening, and a large mass object is undergoing a jump. Please return to the headquarters immediately."

While continuing to stare at his deputy with murderous eyes, the station commander quickened his pace and rushed to the headquarters. When they first arrived, the surveyor gave a definite answer: "Mass, 780,000 tons... It is a large and medium-sized spacecraft!"
