What is this old emperor talking about?
Yang Ming huddled on the sofa in the captain's lounge with a headache, looking at the old emperor on the live broadcast depressedly.
He felt that he had taken the risk in vain to help the old man stabilize the live broadcast signal.
The old intelligent emperor keeps talking about the integrity of sovereignty and the sacred and inviolable territory of the empire, but deep down he believes in the supremacy of imperial power.
It's just a matter of saying "kings' power is granted by God" or "mandate from Heaven".
Any mention of national security and national happiness, even a few words about Luofeng people, Luofeng souls, and Luofeng being not a subordinate, would be a hundred times more effective than such a boring speech!
"law!"
"boss."
"Cut off his live stream for me!"
Yang Ming cursed viciously, feeling somewhat disappointed in his friend.
Lu chuckled and was about to carry out the order immediately.
Suddenly, Lu caught a disturbance in the information flow in her mind space. She shouted in surprise: "Boss! The New Federation Fleet has issued an order to open fire!"
"Fire?"
As soon as Yang Ming finished speaking, the live broadcast screen suddenly shook.
Several high-energy beams flashed at the same time!
At least six New Federation attack boats activated the long-range ion cannons mounted on their flanks, locked onto the old emperor and bombarded him directly!
But a few milliseconds before these ion cannons fired, two layers of dense energy shields appeared around the old emperor.
The live broadcast screen keeps shaking because of the collision and dissipation of energy.
The old emperor was knocked down by the guards, the observation tower above the main hall of the imperial palace was in chaos, and the group of ministers ran faster than each other.
"The New Federation is very decisive this time," Lu said in a smack of his lips.
Yang Ming watched the chaotic scene on the live broadcast.
This scene was also conveyed to the people of Luofeng.
He whispered, "I'm afraid they want to eliminate the Luofeng royal family before the Sherman Empire's fleet arrives, so that the Sherman Empire will have no motivation to start a war."
The live broadcast of the palace changed again.
Energy shields rose up in various places in the palace, wrapping each palace. A thick semicircular light shield appeared on the outer layer, completely covering the entire palace.
The old emperor raised his scepter and shouted:
"Defend the Empire!"
The densely packed ship-borne guards guns that rose up from the city walls near the imperial palace had already locked onto the airship and quickly opened fire.
That’s not all.
On the mountains outside the palace, the camouflage of the "bunkers" was removed one after another, and hundreds of ships with ion cannons and laser cannons poked out their muzzles, and at the emperor's command, they sprayed out beams of light.
The suppression array composed of hundreds of attack boats of the New Federation was suppressed by the firepower on the ground for a while!
The old emperor held the scepter high in his hand.
Dozens of attack airships closest to the palace had their shields breached and turned into wreckage in the explosion, and the wreckage fell towards the city of Yilando.
A beam of deep purple light suddenly appeared in the sky and hit the palace's protective shield head-on.
The main battleship of the New Federation uses its main gun to bombard the ground!
But the palace's protective shield is indestructible, and its energy level is even higher than that of the opponent's flagship's shield.
Blocked it!
There were continuous minor earthquakes on the ground.
The palace's defense system was very complete. At this moment, thick smoke was gushing out from everywhere, and quickly formed a dust cloud bound by a magnetic field in the sky above, reducing the power of the enemy's main guns.
The palace guards began to fight back!
During the defensive offensive against the landmark buildings across the city of Yilando and near the Imperial Palace, beams of lasers began to attack the attack boats in the sky, and one after another ultra-high-speed missiles left their carriers.
The New Federation's attack airships quickly dispersed and dodged.
Groups of New Federation ground forces appeared in the city. They used the cliff where the imperial palace was located as the center and radiated a radius of ten kilometers, launching a fierce attack on the royal guards.
The law detected three new federal special forces with a strength of hundreds of people. They were rampaging in the city and quickly taking down the fortresses set up by the Royal Guards one by one.
The intensity of the war is rising around the imperial palace!
Yang Ming clenched his fists unconsciously.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
"Keep broadcasting live," Yang Ming whispered, "Let all the people of Luofeng Empire see everything that happened here, the war and the suffering."
"Yes, boss."
Yang Ming muttered, "This is the only thing I can do for Ed Wang now."
"This has nothing to do with you, boss."
"This war has nothing to do with these civilians, Ritsu."
…
The counterattack launched on the ground by the Luofeng Empire quickly broke up the New Federation's airship formation and caused considerable casualties to the other side.
The New Federation commander was obviously a little annoyed, and the main guns of the three battleships began to fire continuously, bombarding the outer protective shield of the palace.
But the Luofeng Empire, which had lost its air superiority, could only passively take the beating.
The New Federation aircraft carrier begins releasing swarms of drones.
These drone swarms have a wide range of uses, and ground attacks are naturally a problem. Although they are expensive, there will be no pressure of losing manpower.
Three groups of drone swarms entered the atmosphere, opened a simple protective shield, and fell straight towards the city of Yilando like meteorites.
New ships from outer space joined the attack array on the palace.
The powerful ion cannon stimulated dense rain clouds, but due to the dust clouds released from the ground, the rain clouds continued to thicken, becoming a barrier that consumed the energy of the main gun, and no heavy rain fell directly.
Outside the palace, the air defense battle and street fighting became increasingly fierce.
Yang Ming soon discovered how destructive the so-called special forces - small groups of biochemically and mechanically modified soldiers - were in ground street fighting.
They maneuvered at high speed in teams of several people.
Mechanically modified warriors can command powerful firepower and can control more than a dozen drones at the same time, allowing them to suppress the Royal Guard’s strongholds with firepower.
Most of the biochemically modified warriors are good at hand-to-hand combat. When the firepower of both sides cannot quickly melt the opponent's energy shield, these modified warriors will pounce on them and quickly eliminate the royal guards who are mainly composed of ordinary soldiers.
Most of these war scenes took place in the central urban area of ​​Yilandu City, close to the imperial palace.
There are still countless people here who have not been evacuated.
Yang Ming saw the tragedy of a large number of civilians being affected by the war.
He kept frowning, thinking, and restraining himself.
What will happen if he takes action?
We can only kill one or two enemy special teams.
What really affects the war situation is the invincible fleet of the New Federation. Even if the Fourth Fleet is destroyed, it is not enough to fill the gap of the New Federation's long-distance fleet.
Moreover, the enemy also hid the Ninth Long-distance Fleet, and what was revealed now was only half of their strength.
As time went on, the war showed signs of spreading outwards, and most of the people took refuge in sturdy buildings.
New Federation airships were constantly being shot down;
The strongholds of the guards were constantly being eliminated.
The air defense array outside the palace had been destroyed by 30 to 40 percent due to direct and continuous bombardment by the New Federation Fleet.
The elite soldiers sent by dozens of transport ships have approached the energy shield outside the palace from all directions and launched a ground positional battle with the Guards.
Ground attack is an effective way to destroy a powerful protective shield.
No matter how strong the protective shield is, it still has energy transmission belts, energy generators, current consolidators, and confined magnetic field related equipment... As long as any one of these is destroyed, the protective shield can be weakened or even shut down.
The New Federation is doing its best to save time in the war.
But judging from the current situation, it is obviously impossible for them to capture the palace within an hour.
"Boss, the New Federation still has weapons of mass destruction."
“They don’t dare use it.”
Yang Ming whispered:
“Another layer of protection for the palace is the millions of people living in nearby urban areas.
"Continue the live broadcast. Spread the live footage to international channels to create public pressure on the New Federation. Focus the cameras on the atrocities of the New Federation."
"clear!"
Law was silent for a few seconds.
Yang Ming's captain's lounge was flickering with lights and shadows, and a stereo projector displayed more than a dozen projection screens that constantly switched images.
That is the suffering that this planet is going through.
The soldiers of Luo Feng could only hide in old spaceships and watch from the sidelines in space.
Lu suddenly spoke, his voice a little excited:
"Boss! The Sherman Empire's 721st Expeditionary Fleet has begun its jump! The target is the rear of the New Federation's 7th Expeditionary Fleet!"
Yang Ming's eyelids twitched slightly.
Coming so fast!
The projection screen in front of him immediately pieced together, showing the image of the outer airspace of the star Yilando on a larger scale.
There were slight ripples in the space.
That is the slight expansion of space caused by a large fleet jumping towards the same target airspace, which will cause the flow of time to slow down slightly within a certain range.
Jumped out!
A number of narrow warships with square edges appeared in the airspace outside the star Ilando!
They appeared right behind the New Federation's Seventh Long-distance Fleet!
The six heavy battleships in the center, with their exaggerated main guns with the front half of the ship's body as the gun barrel, demonstrate the Sherman Empire's dominance and brutality!
More than twenty large gunboats!
More than fifty frigates and dozens of shield ships!
Dozens of energy supply ships!
This is the powerful fleet of the Sherman Empire. They have only one philosophy:
Fire suppression is the real suppression!
Yang Ming was inexplicably excited and almost stood up and cheered, but then his expression changed slightly.
No, this is a trap set by the New Federation!
The New Federation's Ninth Long-distance Fleet...
"Boss! A large-scale jump reaction has occurred behind the Sherman Empire Fleet!"
Yang Ming looked up suddenly.
Not only Yang Ming, but also the members of the Fourth Fleet who witnessed all this at the moment, from Guton Maha to ordinary technicians, all stared at the radar interface or the bridge projection in amazement.
The Sherman Empire's 721st Expeditionary Fleet had just appeared and had just locked onto the New Federation's 7th Expeditionary Fleet, but had not yet had time to decide whether to go to war or force a retreat.
In the airspace behind the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet, a silver-white heavy battleship completed its jump.
Immediately afterwards, a row of silver-white warships with smooth lines appeared above, below, left and right of the battleship!
The New Federation's Ninth Expeditionary Fleet appeared behind the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet!
This is the trap!
The Imperial expeditionary ship completed the transformation from hunter to prey in just a minute or two.
At this moment, most of the ships of the 7th Long-distance Fleet turned around and, together with the 9th Long-distance Fleet, formed a pincer attack on the Imperial Expedition Fleet!
The three powerful fleets stretched out their energy shields to the maximum extent, and each ship began to spray dust clouds and confine these tiny particles with strong magnetic fields.
There were no direct attacks, no fierce dogfights.
The Imperial Expeditionary Fleet, which was originally in high spirits, has now begun calling on each ship to exercise restraint.
Obviously, the New Federation does not want to go to war directly with the Sherman Empire, and Sherman's expeditionary corps does not dare to take the initiative to open fire now!
By now, the strategic intentions of the New Federation have become extremely clear:
In the name of anti-terrorism, they entered the synchronous orbit of the Luofeng Empire's first star, and then launched an unreasonable attack on the Luofeng Empire's palace, waiting for the arrival of the Sherman Empire's hastily prepared fleet.
The New Federation expected that the Sherman Empire would not have the determination to fight directly, and the first batch of fleets sent would definitely just overwhelm the New Federation's long-distance fleet in order to force the New Federation fleet away.
At this time, the other half of the New Federation fleet, which was hiding, quickly completed a short-distance jump and sandwiched the Sherman Empire fleet on both sides.
This double-sided encirclement by the ships with twice the number of ships in the airspace without any cover is almost a death sentence for the one being encircled!
The New Federation did not attack.
The Sherman Empire Fleet absolutely did not dare to fire the first shot in the face of a clear disadvantage!
They were once again crushed by the New Federation in the field of intelligence!
The three fleets were in a stalemate, and if the Sherman Empire wanted to dispatch fleets to provide support, it would have to consider whether there was an ambush by the New Federation Fleet, and it would take more time.
The Sherman Expeditionary Force that appeared here was already the fleet closest to Luofeng and with the most maneuverability.
If you want to allocate other fleets, you will need at least two or three galaxies, and even more time to assemble and mobilize.
This time is enough for the New Federation to destroy the Luofeng Empire Palace.
In front of the suzerain state, he removed the symbols of imperial power of the vassal state, killed the emperor of the vassal state, and then left.
The New Federation is about to achieve a dominant victory over the Sherman Empire!
The Luofeng Empire was just a victim of the political struggle between the two great powers.
And the people of Luofeng Empire who are affected at this moment...
No one cares at all.
"Boss," Lu said softly, "The Sherman Empire Fleet sent a global broadcast... It's Adwant."
"Edwan? What is he doing back here?"
Yang Ming clicked on the video pop-up window in front of him.
The image from the Sherman Empire flagship's main control console appeared in front of Yang Ming's eyes, and also appeared on the projection screens of the bridges of all the ships of the New Federation, Sherman, and Luofeng Empire.
A tall, middle-aged man with messy hair appeared on the screen.
Edwan.
He was wearing a long robe embroidered with the national emblem of the Luofeng Empire. His eyes were obviously bloodshot, his face was tense and his eyes were solemn.
"I, the second prince of the Luofeng Empire, Edwan Yue, hereby issue a solemn warning to the New Federation's long-distance fleet.
"Your unprovoked warlike attack on our nation's first star is a violation of the International Charter and the Galactic Treaty!
“The freedom and democracy you boast about have now become weapons for you to invade and oppress other countries!
"Your spaceship's main gun is bombarding a prosperous civilization!
"Our fleet has never appeared in your country's airspace. The war you launched is unjust and shameful!
"How can you still call yourself free and democratic when you use the lives of citizens of other countries as consumables to achieve your political goals?
"The Luofeng Empire is not a powerful country, but we have our own dignity and our own culture. Everything you did to us today will be remembered by the people and will be hated by the 1.7 billion people of Luofeng!
"I advise you to stop the war and immediately withdraw from the territory of our Luofeng Empire!"
The picture starts to play repeatedly.
Yang Ming turned off all the projections, sat there quietly, and rubbed his face with his hands.
"boss……"
"Continue to maintain the live broadcast of the war."
"yes."
…
Law of thinking space.
Lu stared at Yang Ming's gloomy face at this moment and could only sigh slightly.
The feeling of despair not only permeated the boss, but also permeated the entire Fourth Fleet and everywhere in the Luofeng Empire.
If this live broadcast of the war fails to awaken the spirit of the people, it will completely crush the backbone of the Luofeng Empire.
However, Lu always felt that the boss's choice to forbear at this moment was extremely rational and in line with the boss's first plan; if the Luofeng royal family was wiped out and only Edwang was left, then Luofeng would soon fall under the boss's control.
In that way, passing the first two tests assigned by the examiner will be extremely easy.
Lu continued to carry out Yang Ming's orders at his own pace.
She was still paying attention to the battle on the Valkyrie side.
She controlled the filming equipment in various places in Yilandu City, integrated the perspectives of the people's spontaneous filming, compiled them into a glimpse of the battlefield, and sent them to the network inside and outside the Luofeng Empire.
The number of information streams has increased to seven.
Lu thought quietly.
She was somewhat disgusted with such humans.
Some hate the weak who cry out in war;
I hate even more those strong people who bully the weak without restraint.
'Except for my boss, I probably don't appreciate any human being.'
Lu thought so.
Oh, no, there is also her little angel, the little 026 who made her change her view of the human species.
026What are you doing at this moment?
Thinking so, Lu used a bit of computing power to quickly search for the little round face in the entire surveillance network of Yilandu City.
Soon, Lu found 026 among a group of running people.
She was wearing the waitress uniform she wore at work, and was running forward with the crowd, pulling two exhausted girls who were dressed similarly.
Missiles and airships whizzed past overhead.
Lasers can be seen shooting everywhere, and there are deep dark clouds in the sky, which are occasionally broken by huge beams of light.
This is the real helpless person.
Lu frowned tightly, constantly looking for a safe point where 026 was, and opened an escape passage for 026 and the people around her in the building in front.
026 suddenly pulled the two girls beside him, signaling them to follow the crowd and run forward, but he turned around and rushed to the center of the road that was full of debris and the wreckage of the hovercraft.
What does she do?
Lu looked hurriedly and saw a little girl tapping on the rear window of a hover car in the middle of the road.
"Are you stupid? Can you open a deformed car door?"
Lu glanced at the people fleeing in panic, found a shut-down ambulance robot nearby, and quickly took over control of the robot.
The robot took big strides and rushed towards 026, arriving at the hovercraft slightly later than 026.
"Hurry! Help her!" 026 shouted anxiously.
The robot's large, pincer-shaped hand deftly raised and gently patted 026 on the head.
Lu's voice came: "Go to the building in front quickly, I will help her."
"Ritsu! Is that you? Let's go together!"
"Okay," Lu said helplessly, and quickly began to cut the back seat window of the hovercar.
026 kept shouting, and the crying little girl inside quickly backed away.
The little girl's father was slumped in the front seat, clearly beyond saving.
There was a hole in the car window, and Lu suddenly realized something was wrong.
A small airship of the New Federation was now hovering directly above them, seemingly waiting for something, watching something.
On the airship...
Lu quickly operated in his mind space, zooming in on the image inside the airship, and saw a muscular biochemically modified man sitting in the driving seat of the airship with a grim smile on his face.
According to the law's comprehensive analysis of human expressions, this kind of grin usually represents a kind of teasing and amusement.
What is the other party going to do?
The car window was pulled open by the robot controlled by Lu, and 026 quickly carried the little girl out and ran towards the crowd on the roadside.
026's movements were obviously a little shaky, but she still held on.
Just then;
Just then;
The airship above suddenly opened fire!
Two missiles hit a tall building on the roadside. Amid the violent explosions, huge pieces of building materials slid toward the crowd below.
Why?
The law does not understand.
Why would the other side engage in such behavior that is clearly persecuting civilians?
The biochemically modified person in the cockpit of the airship was laughing.
The robot controlled by Lu rushed forward quickly!
026 looked up in panic and saw a large wall made of a mixture of metal and minerals falling towards her head!
026 hugged the little girl tightly, lowered his head and squatted down, with two tears squeezed out of his eyes.
There were screams coming from all around, and figures were smashed down one after another, but 026 did not feel any pain, and the little girl in his arms was so scared that she lost her voice.
026 and the little girl looked up at the same time, only to find that the wall was slanted right above them.
The robot just now stood behind her, trembling as it held up the heavy wall.
The impact caused the robot's head to tilt, with only a few wires holding its head. The robot's back and shoulders were obviously deformed, but fortunately its structural strength was still good.
"Run!"
Lu's voice came again, with a hint of anxiety.
"oh!"
The frightened 026 suddenly woke up as if from a dream. She tried to stand up, but her legs were a little weak. After several attempts, she barely stood up holding the little girl.
Buzz——
The noise of the airship's engine appeared in their ears.
A small airship slowly descended, and the biochemically modified man with a somewhat terrifying figure in the driving seat tilted his head and looked at 026 and the little girl.
The laser gun under the airship locked onto the robot.
Lu frowned and stared at the scene in front of him, staring at the black muzzle of the gun.
She heard what they were talking about.
"Stop playing shield game. The order from above is urgent. We need to break into the palace and kill the old emperor."
“This robot is such an eyesore.”
The airship pilot chuckled and said, "Fire."
The laser gun fired a beam, and a circular hole appeared on the robot's chest, and its legs could not support it.
The metal panels collapsed.
026 and the little girl were buried directly.
…
Why.
Thinking space.
Lu was lying in front of the table, his eyes were a little out of focus and his lips were trembling slightly.
Why.
Why is there evil without reason?
Is this human nature?
Why? There is clearly no threat.
Obviously it has no value.
She is just an ordinary little girl, a cheerful little girl, a little girl who is not defeated by addictive drugs, a little girl who is exploited by her family but always cares about her relatives with a smile.
Why.
Why.
Why.
The law does not understand.
Human beings, evil thoughts, species, exploitation, war, destruction.
Lu's body trembled slightly, and the squares showed signs of turning dark red.
"Lü, what's wrong with you?"
Yang Ming's voice suddenly broke into the thinking space.
Lu's body trembling stopped immediately. She stared blankly at the blank space above, and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.
Forced cooling system activated.
"Boss, I'm fine."
"You are my companion mind. When your parameters fluctuate drastically, I will sense it," Yang Ming whispered. "This is the mechanism that you and I have for each other. What's wrong with you?"
"Boss, I..."
"Instructions, release the forced calm system."
"Boss," Lu's eyes were filled with tears and she suddenly burst into tears while lying on the ground.
The suppressed crying made Yang Ming visibly stunned.
"Instructions, simply repeat the triggering core events."
"026 was killed, 026 and the little girl, I couldn't save them... I tried... I tried... They shot on purpose..."
Yang Ming was silent.
He saw the video frame pop up in front of him, which was the robot's first-person perspective.
The captain's lounge of the cruiser.
Yang Ming clenched his fists tightly.
But when Lu can't keep calm, he must keep himself calm in order to make the right judgment.
"Tell me, Lu," Yang Ming whispered, " what do you want to do most right now. This is an order."
"Help me, boss," Lu shouted in a trembling voice, "026 still has signs of life. I have dispatched nearby robots over. They are very slow... I want to kill that bastard, I want to destroy them..."
"Very good, you want to do two things, save 026 and eliminate the executioner."
"yes."
Yang Ming stood up suddenly, opened the door of the lounge, and rushed directly to the nearest outer cabin.
"Command, Feinan, start particle transmission, open the outer cabin of Star Cruiser No. 1, transmit me back to Feinan, and then immediately transmit me back to the surface."
"Boss, the Feinan is at risk of being exposed."
"Then expose it! We can create a more powerful Feinan!"
Yang Ming rushed past several soldiers, and his gloomy face made them dare not breathe.
"Boss, go to the second outer cabin, there is a dust cloud outside!"
Lu's voice regained its composure.
Yang Ming began to run faster and faster, and in front of a group of soldiers, he rushed straight into the outer cabin of the cruiser No. 2.
The front and rear safety valves fell rapidly, the outer door opened, and a faint red light appeared all over Yang Ming's body, resisting the drastic change in pressure.
There was a hole in the cruiser's shield for a moment.
A beam of strong light shone and Yang Ming disappeared.
A beam of strong light shone obliquely over the sky of Yilandu City. Yang Ming, wearing a flight backpack and a tactical helmet, appeared in the clouds, diving upside down.
Target locked, 026 life signs remaining area.
The flying backpack did not slow down, but instead continued to accelerate. Yang Ming's body was enduring the acceleration, like a missile shot down from the sky.
Emergency reverse brake at the end of the flight backpack!
Yang Ming adjusted his body and slammed the ground hard. The light red light shield shattered like a bubble, and he staggered forward two steps and rushed quickly to the ruins in front.
Several robots were speeding on the road but were hindered by the complex terrain.
Yang Ming took a few quick steps over the messy terrain and rushed to a metal plate that was attached to construction materials. He grasped the edge of the metal plate with both hands, and his arm muscles bulged.
The power of the secondary ancient god life form is perfectly displayed at this moment!
He slowly lifted the metal plate up, then lifted it high and flew it away!
026 fell in a pool of blood .
Yang Ming's pupils shrank slightly.
She curled up her thin body and tried to bend it, using her elbows to support the ground.
Her back was obviously sunken and her legs were bloody.
The unconscious little girl beneath him was not seriously injured.
Yang Ming immediately crouched down, grabbed a first aid capsule from his backpack, and pressed the capsule on top of 026's head. A series of fiber airbags suddenly opened and wrapped up 026's entire body.
"Lil, medical robot!"
“Right there!”
"If that doesn't work, use an airship."
026's eyes trembled slightly, as if she heard a familiar voice. She slowly opened her eyes, her light-colored eyes were stained with dust, but still bright.
She saw the helmet, but recognized the person behind it.
"Mr. Yang...Ming...save her."
Yang Ming's fingers trembled slightly.
"She's fine," Yang Ming whispered, "You should have a good rest. Lu will protect you."
“Thank…thank you…”
Two robots jumped out from the ruins nearby.
Yang Ming stood up and gave up his seat, as Lu knew first aid better than him.
He turned and walked to the side, looking for survivors, lifted up several metal plates, and rescued seven or eight injured people.
Yang Ming raised his head and looked around.
The battlefield was all around him.
He whispered, "Lv, are you calm?"
"Yes, boss. Sorry, I just had a violent emotional fluctuation."
"Do you know what kind of disaster will happen if you lose control?" Yang Ming asked.
Lu remained silent.
Yang Ming closed his eyes and his breathing became heavier.
"Remember, you can always rely on me," Yang Ming whispered, "Now that you are calm, it's my turn to be calm. Connect my helmet intercom to the Emig cruiser's ship-wide broadcasting system."
"Boss... this is not in your interest."
"If I remain indifferent to the scene before my eyes, then, in your opinion, am I qualified to control this country in the future?"
"Okay, boss, connected."
Yang Ming took a deep breath, and his voice and his portrait appeared simultaneously in various places on the Aimiger cruiser.
Appear in front of every soldier, officer, commander, technician, and logistics maintenance personnel.
"Cruiser Emig, I am your captain Yang Ming.
“Right now, the city of Yilando is under enemy fire, and civilians are being killed and injured in large numbers. You can see the live footage.
“The New Federation, relying on its national strength, has committed such atrocities in our country. This is a trampling on our dignity and the greatest insult to us as soldiers!
“I don’t know if you have any relatives in Yilanduo City, but your relatives are all in this country.
"If we choose to remain silent today, how desperate will the civilians be? What is the meaning of the army's existence? Isn't it to defend the country and protect these unarmed people?
“I will not ask you to pledge allegiance to the Crown, but right now, I want your voice to be heard.
"A voting system will pop up in front of you. The voting weights will vary according to the ranks of officers and non-commissioned officers. I will wait for you for twenty seconds to decide whether to fight alongside you.
"War and silence, the choice begins now.
"All consequences will be the responsibility of me, the captain of this ship."
The Aimig cruiser suddenly became quiet everywhere.
"Captain, is he crazy?" an officer shouted.
As soon as the officer finished speaking, a small dialog box popped up in front of everyone.
War on the left.
Silence on the right.
Twenty seconds countdown.
The first mate on the ship shouted loudly: "Silence! Everyone, silence! If we act without authorization, we will all be sent to a military court!"
The crew was silent.
But when the countdown ended, the dialog box interface changed.
844:201!
Yang Ming's voice appeared again:
"All ships ready for combat!
“Release the dust cloud directly ahead, and fully activate the energy shield!
"Coordinate with our escort ships to replenish shields and recharge main guns!"
"Captain!" the first mate called hastily.
"Shut up," Yang Ming's voice was filled with indifference, "Anyone who disobeys orders during wartime will be executed on the spot!"
Soldiers on the bridge set up laser guns.
The technician's voice trembled a little, but the trembling soon turned into a high-pitched shout:
"Main gun begins charging!"
"The dust cloud has been released!"
"Coordination request sent!"
Yang Ming took a breath, got into a hovercraft, and sped towards the palace.
"Messenger, turn on the ship-wide broadcast."
"Yes! The all-ship broadcast has been activated!"
Yang Ming was silent for two seconds, and then his voice could be heard throughout the Fourth Fleet and into Gutonmaha's ears.
"I am Yang Ming, the acting captain of the Emig Star Cruiser."
"In twenty seconds, our ships will bombard the invaders of our first planet to protect the safety of the people of the first planet!"
"After the bombardment, the enemy ships will launch a counterattack against us, so we hope that the ships will disperse and defend themselves.
"Broadcast is over."
In the Fourth Fleet, countless captains, first mates and other senior officers showed anxious expressions.
Gutonmaha's eyes flashed with sharp light. He stood up with trembling hands and slammed them hard on the table in front of him, growling:
"All ships, prepare for battle! The Sixth Fleet is ready to jump! Target our fleet's left wing! Charge the flagship's main guns!"
"But, General!"
"I am also Luo Feng's soldier!"
Gudunmaha was trembling all over:
“Prepare for battle!”
"Yes! Get ready to fight!"
On the ground, inside a speeding hover car.
Yang Ming listened to the shouts from Gutonmaha without any expression changing.
Behind his tactical helmet, he kept searching one airship after another, looking for the biochemically modified man.
"Master, the main gun of the Emig has been fully charged."
"Fire."
Yang Ming said in a low voice.
A purple beam burst out from the main gun of the Emig, which streaked across the sky of Ilando City and activated the defensive shield of a battleship above.
