The battle in space is becoming more and more intense.
Under the impact of high-energy light beams, the energy shields of warships were exhausted, the fusion effect was triggered on the hulls, and radiation was released in a near-vacuum environment.
On the planet Yilandu, countless people looked up.
People near the palace saw a gloomy sky.
People further out see new stars that continue to shine.
With Lu's guidance, Yang Ming avoided the area where the New Federation ground forces were exchanging fire with the Luofeng Royal Guards, and quickly approached the palace.
Yang Ming and Lu had a huge doubt at this moment.
The anti-ship system hidden under the palace has not been activated until now.
Yang Ming didn't know what that thing was.
The anti-ship firepower now revealed near the palace is greatly different from the powerful anti-ship system that Lu had previously speculated; and there is a core network deep in the palace that she has been unable to invade.
Yang Ming's personal strength is of no use in this kind of air battle.
What he can do now is to get out and avoid being killed by the enemy's main gun bombardment, continue to use Lu's information advantage, and find new help.
Yang Ming decided to go to the depths of the palace to take a look himself.
Battle reports were constantly sent to Yang Ming's ears.
The twenty-odd ships of the New Federation that were originally intended to bombard the Luofeng Palace were quickly destroyed by the three major fleets of Luofeng.
More importantly, the Sherman Empire Expeditionary Fleet finally joined the battle.
They withstood the bombardment of the New Federation's 9th Long-distance Fleet and covered half of the warships of the New Federation's 7th Long-distance Fleet with full firepower. The Empire's main battleships all moved forward, as if they were going to engage in a battleship collision!
The morale of the three fleets of Luofeng was greatly boosted.
But victory in a battleship clash cannot be achieved simply by high morale.
The battleship loss ratio between the three fleets of the Luofeng Empire and the New Federation's long-distance fleet is still an exaggerated three to one.
Fortunately, with the Sherman Empire Expeditionary Fleet joining the battle, most of the firepower points of the New Federation's Seventh Fleet were shifted, the pressure on Luo Feng's side was greatly reduced, and the rate of ship loss dropped sharply.
The three fleets of Luo Feng took advantage of the situation and attacked together, surrounding the New Federation's Seventh Fleet.
Inside the flagship of Luofeng’s 4th Fleet.
Gutonmaha kept roaring on the podium.
One battle order after another was sent to Gudunmaha in the name of Yang Ming. All Gudunmaha had to do now was to keep shouting out these orders.
Gudunmaha was extremely shocked at this moment!
He was shocked by Yang Ming's quick and precise control.
In this chaotic battle, their own fleet could still maintain efficient rotation, rescue, mutual blocking, and repeated shield recharging... Gutonmaha simply couldn't imagine it.
If it weren't for this level of control and command, their losses would have increased by 30 percent!
Mr. Yang Ming still has this ability?
This is simply a monster...oh, a great monster!
Similarly, Gudunmaha is feeling extremely heavy-hearted right now.
On the radar, the disappearance of every battleship meant that hundreds or thousands of Luofeng soldiers were turned into ashes.
This is a war with no retreat!
From the moment the Emig cruiser opened fire, it was destined to be a war with heavy casualties.
But this is also the only real war that the Luofeng military has fought in the past hundreds of years!
Gudummaha must declare:
It was because they gained a temporary advantage that the Sherman Empire joined the war, not because the Sherman Empire joined the war that they gained the advantage!
Yes, there is a generation gap in their warships compared to the New Federation’s fleet.
But they have the advantage in numbers!
Yes, the New Federation’s new warships have powerful defensive capabilities.
But there is always a limit to the energy density of the enemy ship's shield!
When the three battleships of the Third Fleet risked their lives to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's special battleship fleet and destroyed two of the enemy's jamming ships, the jammed firepower control system of the enemy quickly recovered;
When the three major fleets of Luo Feng, which were like the "Exhibition of Retired Sherman Warships", successfully injected most of the energy they could mobilize into the main and secondary guns.
Their firepower completely suppressed the sniper formation deployed by the New Federation fleet!
Gudunmaha keenly noticed three abnormalities.
First, they did not have such a strong technical team to repair the ship's operating system in time;
Second, the coordination between the Third Fleet and them was too smooth. The three fleets of Luo Feng almost formed a whole. Although it was not to the point where they could attack wherever they were pointed, this smoothness was definitely against military common sense.
Three, the most important, is also the most obvious.
Isn’t that old bastard Leon a loyal dog of the New Federation?
Why is he here? And why is he fighting directly with the New Federation?
Gutonmaha couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't think about it now.
In this battle, Gutonmaha actually saw the dawn of victory.
And the dawn light is getting brighter and brighter, just like the rising sun in the east.
at the same time.
Under the huge protective shield of the palace, in front of the gate through which the guards entered and exited the palace, General Philemon's trusted officers hurriedly rushed to the temporary fortifications.
"Where is Major Yang Ming!"
"Report! The major has gone in!"
"In?"
"It was Lieutenant Colonel Ace from the Fourth Battalion of the Fourth Regiment who drove Major Yang Ming in!"
"That's good, continue on duty!"
The trusted officer immediately reported to General Philemon, but his communication was also unable to connect with General Philemon.
——This powerful shield outside the palace formed a huge interference field.
Lieutenant Colonel Ace looked a little pale at the moment. He drove an armored hovercraft and sped through the empty military base below the palace.
It's a mess outside now, and many roads that are usually closed to traffic are now unobstructed.
Lieutenant Colonel Ace tried hard to resist the urge to vomit, not because he was too nervous, but because... Yang Ming in the co-pilot seat was covered in blood, obviously having just emerged from a fierce battle.
"Don't worry," Yang Ming calmly took off his helmet, "None of the blood is mine."
"Oh, that's good, that's good, where are we going?"
"Go this way, faster."
Yang Ming began to give directions.
After many twists and turns, Lieutenant Colonel Ace and Yang Ming arrived in front of a sign that read "Do Not Enter".
The metal plate is rusted and oxidized.
"Why stop? Speed ​​up."
"Oh, Yang Ming!" Lieutenant Colonel Ace said in a trembling voice, "Should we ask our superiors for instructions?"
Yang Ming frowned and said, "Get out of the car. Thank you very much."
Lieutenant Colonel Ace quickly opened the car door and jumped out.
Yang Ming shook his head, put away the laser pistol, saluted Lieutenant Colonel Ace, knocked aside the metal plate and rushed into the dark tunnel ahead.
This place seems to be abandoned.
"Lü, is this the place?"
"Yes, it's just in front," Lu said softly, "This place has been specially designed. If you hadn't walked around the base so often, I wouldn't have discovered the underground passage hidden here... Look, boss."
A map of the terrain near the palace appeared on the central control projection screen of the hover armored vehicle.
"Why did the deployment of these ground-based anti-aircraft firepower leave this area completely empty? I guess there is a huge monster underneath.
"I always thought that this was the secret weapon of the Luofeng royal family, but I didn't expect that they had already abandoned it."
Yang Ming's eyes flashed a little.
The winding underground passage was like a maze. If it weren't for the guidance of the law, Yang Ming estimated that he would have had 17 or 18 car accidents.
The hover armored vehicle suddenly braked, and a tightly closed metal door appeared in front of it.
"Boss, I need actual access to the system here. There's a terminal on the wall over there."
Yang Ming saw the access control console on the stone wall and immediately ran over, apparently to verify the password.
He took off his watch and pressed it against the console, and a faint electronic engine sound appeared on the watch.
The next second, eight tiny metal tentacles popped out from the bottom of the watch and drilled into the gap of the physical keyboard of the console.
It was pitch black everywhere, and Yang Ming felt a little scared.
jingle!
A bright light appears on the console.
Then there was a series of crackling sounds, and the lights in the entire corridor were lit up one after another.
Yang Ming glanced at the layout and found that this place should have been built at the same time as the training base. Except for being a little dirty, the style is exactly the same. The only difference is that the ventilation system had stopped working and the oxygen content in the air was extremely low.
The door slowly opened.
Lu said softly, "It is indeed a closed local area network. It is equipped with wireless shielding devices at various locations. It can only be transmitted through solid lines... It still uses relatively primitive optical pulse signal lines. The disadvantage of this technology is that it is more expensive, but the advantage is that it is durable and has excellent confidentiality."
"Is this the place that is independent of the core network of the Imperial Palace?"
"Yes, boss. This place is highly integrated through wired circuits. You can take off your watch now. There are other control terminals that can be connected after entering."
Yang Ming did as he was told.
He slipped into the metal gate in front of him, and the gate closed with a bang.
In front of us, a huge circular hall covering thousands of square meters comes into view, filled with modular instruments, resembling the bridge of a large spaceship.
On the left hand side, a metal throne stood quietly on the main control console divided into three layers.
Without Lu's reminder, Yang Ming rushed directly towards the throne.
There were tightly fitted alloy panels everywhere, and although there was no dust at all, Yang Ming concluded that no one had been here for a long time.
On the steps in front of the throne, Yang Ming saw two lines of inscriptions in Sherman Empire language:
" The only thing that can make the enemy fear you is the power you hold in your hands."
'When my descendants indulge in pleasure, please erase my name from the tombstone.'
"Who is this?" Yang Ming asked puzzledly.
Lu's projection appeared on the dial in Yang Ming's hand: "He may be the founding monarch of the Luofeng Empire. Boss, time is running out. Please try to sit on the throne first."
"It's like I usurped Adwan's throne."
Yang Ming took his seat with a smile.
Buzz——
After some intense noises, the entire circular hall shook slightly, and a huge projection screen popped up in front of Yang Ming, with a line of blank characters appearing on the screen.
An electronic female voice sounded beside him: "Please enter the Emperor's Key."
Yang Ming muttered: "Law, can it be cracked?"
"I'll try, but it should be a bit troublesome. I may have to use the toolboxes that three teachers gave me."
Yang Ming placed the watch on the indirect control console in front of him.
The outer shell at the bottom of the watch detached by itself, and eight metal tentacles reappeared, like a crab, and extended their tentacles into the gap of the console.
After a few long minutes.
The projection screen in front of Yang Ming flickered gently, and louder noises were heard everywhere. The circular hall became brightly lit, and various parameters were scrolled on the projection screens.
"boss!"
Lu shouted excitedly: "Found it! The anti-ship system hidden under the palace! It's here!"
"Where?"
"This is the core control console. This is the entire palace! The outer edge of the palace's protective shield, the entire mountain! The earth's crust beneath the mountain!"
Lu shouted a few times, then became a little suspicious:
“My inference was correct. Fortunately, our Feinan did not appear in front of the palace.
"That's not right. This place was abandoned by the Luofeng Imperial Family... Oh, I really can't imagine, do the folds of the cerebral cortex of the Luofeng Imperial Family overlap with the folds of their small intestine? They actually abandoned this place."
Yang Ming muttered, "Maybe the Emperor's key was lost."
"That makes sense. The current emperor's grandfather killed his brothers and usurped the throne. He might have abandoned this place at that time."
Law guessed:
“Since its founding, the Luofeng Empire has rarely encountered war. They rely on the powerful Sherman Empire, and no one dares to provoke them. It was only in the past twenty years that they were targeted by the New Federation.
"So, Boss, the New Federation never knew that Luo Feng had hidden this anti-ship system.
"If they use satellite scanning or instrument detection, they will only regard this place as part of the training base!"
"Okay, Lu, you need to tell me, what the hell is this thing?"
"Dreadnought! The Dreadnought is fixed!"
Yang Ming was stunned.
The projection screen in front of him flickered again, and a three-dimensional projection of a huge gun barrel appeared in front of him.
It occupies nearly half of the mountain, with its base buried deep in the earth. The gun barrel embedded in the mountain is more than ten kilometers long!
"Can this thing be used?" Yang Ming's voice trembled slightly.
Become rich!
"The system is intact and full of energy!" Lu said quickly, "They spent countless efforts in building this place. It uses closed pulse anti-magnetic storm permanent circuits! All parts have been strictly plated and can be used even after being stored for a thousand years!"
Yang Ming's eyes sparkled as he asked, "This thing can blow up the Valkyrie, right?"
law:……
"Boss, we are still in the air battle. You can think about the Valkyrie later. Do you want to activate the system?"
Yang Ming crossed his legs, with a slight curve at the corners of his mouth.
…
"General! The enemy is retreating! The Ninth Far-reaching Army is beginning to provide support!"
Gutonmaha was about to give the order to dodge, but a few lines of words popped up in front of him.
He immediately shouted:
"The third, fifth, sixth, and ninth formations, head towards the target airspace I set. The main guns of the four formations lock onto the enemy's remaining supply ships and continue to bombard them! After reaching the target airspace, immediately release deep-space torpedoes and quickly set up the net!"
"yes!"
When Gutonmaha raised his hand to touch a strand of hair on his forehead, his fingers couldn't help but tremble.
What does this mean?
What does this move by Mr. Yang Ming mean?
The four formations he mobilized could not possibly stop the New Federation's Seventh Fleet. How could the other side possibly run into it if he set up a lightning net right in front of them?
Unless the New Federation's Seventh Fleet will panic and lose its way.
How is that possible?
The New Federation's fleet is extremely strong in terms of both equipment and personnel quality. It is unlikely that the other side will...
Ding ding.
A message suddenly popped up.
Yang Ming: [Guton, do you know what is buried under the palace? ]
Gutonmaha frowned tightly and sent a question mark back.
Yang Ming: [Get ready to watch the fireworks. ]
Gudunmaha was full of questions for a moment.
The fierce battle between ships continued, and Mr. Yang Ming sent new instructions. Gutonmaha had no time to think and continued to issue combat orders.
More than ten minutes later, Gutonmaha realized Yang Ming's layout and intentions.
Their own fleet formed a loose encirclement, surrounding the New Federation's 7th Expeditionary Fleet from a distance, leaving two huge gaps.
Are these two gaps for the enemy's Seventh Fleet to escape?
Smart move.
If they continued to fight hard, not to mention whether Sherman's 9th Expeditionary Fleet would suffer too much loss and blame themselves later, the losses of their main battleships would continue to increase.
If the New Federation escapes, they will win politically!
The battlefield is an extension of the political field, and this must be measured in order to gain an advantage in the subsequent political struggle...
"General! A strong energy reaction has occurred on Ilando! It seems that the main gun of a super-large battleship is gathering energy!"
"What?" Gutonmaha felt that there was something wrong with his ears.
But a few seconds later, all the ships sent warnings at the same time.
The energy detection radars of each ship issued a danger warning at the same time!
'Get ready to watch the fireworks.'
Gutonmaha stood up suddenly and stared at the huge projection screen in front of him, which showed the layout of the entire battlefield.
After the previous fierce battle, a rather strange battle situation has now emerged!
If a huge beam of light suddenly appeared in the direction of the star Ilando, it would be able to penetrate at least twenty warships of the New Federation Fleet!
Is it really going to happen?
"What is that..."
Suddenly there was a surprised shout from the console.
"There's something going on the ground! The clouds have been cleared! The edge of the palace has cracked!"
"Is that a gun barrel? Shouldn't that be a radio telescope?"
"It's an ion cannon! A super-large ion cannon!"
"Fuck! There are cannons under the palace!"
The fleet's communication channels fell into chaos.
The New Federation fleet was about to begin dispersing, but it was too late!
A deep blue beam of light with a diameter of nearly two kilometers, which seemed to be able to melt everything, rose from the surface of the planet, instantly illuminating the abyss-like universe.
The entire Yilandu city turned into a deep blue ocean!
The old emperor standing in the shield holds up the scepter!
The people who were fortunate enough to witness this beam of light felt the rolling heat wave coming towards them!
Gutonmaha's eyes widened as he looked at the dark blue beams flashing outside the bridge and the series of huge 'fireworks' that appeared.
He suddenly realized:
"Attack! Attack with all ships! Actively expand the victory! The enemy is about to escape!"
Deep underground in the palace.
Yang Ming sat on the throne, frowned as he stared at the old emperor's back on the screen in front of him, and muttered:
"Lü, do you think this old guy thought that he created this light himself?"
"Not necessarily," Lu chuckled.
"Secure this place. No one is allowed to enter except you and me."
"Okay, boss. It takes half an hour to charge. That's too slow. The technology from hundreds of years ago is really backward."
"You're starting to dislike it now? You really are easily bored with the old and love the new."
After that flash of light, heavy rain began to fall in Yilandu City.
…
Twenty galactic hours later.
Temporary military court at the military spaceport outside the planet Yilando.
In the solemn courtroom, three elderly senior military officers were asking questions with stern faces.
"Major Yang Ming, do you deny that you fired at the enemy ship without authorization and did not follow the command of the headquarters?"
"No denial."
Yang Ming stood on the suspended platform with his hands behind his back.
The necessary procedures must still be followed to maintain order within the military.
"Major Yang Ming, how do you evaluate this conflict with the New Federation Fleet?"
"This is a patriotic war to defend our country. It is a just defense," Yang Ming whispered, "I accept all the judgments of the court."
The three senior officers began to discuss the matter in a formal manner.
Soon, they asked everyone to stand up and began to read the verdict written by Yang Ming himself.
Deprived of the qualification to become a captain for five years. ——Can be an acting captain or nominal first mate.
No promotion in rank within three years. ——Yang Ming thought the title of major sounded good.
A fine of three million Luofeng coins. ——Drizzle.
Serving six months in the military prison of Yilando Star. ——He needed a chance to disappear openly.
Yang Ming took the verdict, nodded to the three veteran officers, turned and walked out of the back door. Two soldiers who were temporarily acting as military police followed behind him with guns.
No shackles, no escort, be respectful.
This is what General Gutonmaha specifically reminded me of.
The door of the courtroom opened, and the long corridor was filled with figures in military uniforms.
Yang Ming looked straight ahead and took a step forward.
Two young officers from the Emig stepped forward and followed Yang Ming.
Several middle-aged officers from the Fourth Fleet lowered their heads and walked forward, following behind Yang Ming.
Behind Yang Ming's military boots, there were more and more black boots of the same style. The footsteps became more frequent, neat and firm.
When Yang Ming walked out of the building where the courtroom was located, his steps paused.
"salute--"
In front of them, dozens of fleet officers and soldiers standing in neat rows swung their arms at the same time and pounded their chests with their fists.
Yang Ming spread his legs and returned the military salute.
A famous lieutenant colonel captain shouted at the top of his voice: "Please! Captain Yang Ming's instructions!"
Yang Ming thought about it for a moment.
Was this arranged by Gudunmaha? Why didn't he tell him in advance? He wouldn't say anything polite without a prepared speech.
"We are soldiers, and soldiers are not afraid of war."
Yang Ming said calmly:
"When I go to serve my sentence, when the enemy fleet appears again, I hope you can face them, hold your chest high, and say something to them.
"This is Luofeng."
There was warm applause everywhere.
Above the building where the court was located, Gutonmaha frowned as he looked at the scene below, with some shock still in his eyes.
"Is this also what Mr. Yang Ming had planned? The young and strong faction in the army has spontaneously united around him, and the other generals who did not participate in the battle are now starting to get restless."
but……
Gutonmaha looked at the battle damage report in front of him and rubbed his forehead with a headache.
This loss is too great.
