Chapter 1658: Pointed by the sword
Nearly slamming the ruler in his hand to the ground, a Fleet Staff Officer of the Royal Guards gnashed his teeth and cursed: “Isn’t this a joke? Send this kind of thing to us, what on earth does he want to do?”
“Pay attention to your words! That’s the marshal of the empire!” Another staff officer reminded with some dissatisfaction.
“But! Isn’t it too much for the Marshal to make such an arrangement?” Although the staff member suppressed his emotions, he still questioned with dissatisfaction.
Another staff officer was standing next to the map table and pointed to the map very dissatisfiedly and said: “Obviously, he hopes that the Royal Guards can cut into the battlefield and serve as his reserve team.”
According to the news that just came, the 1st Fleet of the Allan Hill Empire was under the command of Lawnes, pressing on across the board, entangled with the offensive enemy.
The number of troops invested by the Watchers this time greatly exceeded that of the past, so the 1st Fleet had to overwhelm all of its reserves.
It happened suddenly, although the front-line command was aware of it, it still allowed the guards to seize the opportunity.
The 12th, 15th and 17th fleets were supported to Higgs 11 in the fleet of the Allanhill Empire. The 5th and 6th fleets have been fighting near Higgs 4, and they are supported by others. Several fleets.
In order to ensure safety in other directions, Lawnes dispatched all the fleets that could be dispatched to other lines of defense to defend against possible attacks by the enemy.
But at this time, the enemy chose to be on the front, and the defense line he personally garrisoned began to attack!
The front line of defense is actually heavily armed. It is only a front-line combat force, including the first and second main fleets.
At this moment, General Bakaroff’s fleet had also been ordered to press on, and began a fierce attack on the enemy’s flanks.
The two sides fought hard for a while, because the Ailan Hill Empire fleet took the initiative to abandon the space near the Higgs 3 planet, so it is closer to its logistics node, and it is more convenient to supplement and repair.
Only in this way, the defensive combat pressure on the ground has doubled, and the frontal offensive pressure of the enemy fleet has not weakened.
This means that the battle goal of the Commander of the Watcher Fleet is not, or it is not just the Higgs 3 planet. Their goal is likely to directly penetrate the 1st Fleet of the Alanhill Empire in the front!
Because once they penetrated the frontal defense of the Ailanshir Empire, they would have the opportunity to swallow the entire first fleet, and then tear open the frontal of the Ailansill Empire’s defense line, with a width of tens of millions of kilometers long!
Once this plan is successful, the defense line of the Higgs region will collapse across the board in an instant. At that time, the planets behind them are all the fat on the Guardian’s cutting board!
All the staff officers of the Guard Fleet must aim to ensure the personal safety of the Emperor, so it depends on Lawnes’s decision.
Therefore, the head of the chief of staff looked very ugly, and coldly commented: “Naughty! The Royal Fleet is a fleet that guarantees your Majesty’s absolute safety! Even the 1st Fleet is wiped out! The Royal Guard Fleet has not been transferred to the front. The truth!”
Although he is only an admiral, he is not affiliated with Lawnes, the space army marshal. He is a general directly appointed by the royal family and does not need to be responsible to anyone other than the emperor.
This is also the main reason why Lawnes didn’t ask for it, and directly clarified the carts and horses, forcing the Royal Fleet to move forward.
He doesn’t have any power to command and deploy the fleet that belongs to the royal fleet. This is the rule of the Royal Fleet of the Ailan Hill Empire. Only the emperor has the right to dispatch!
So Lawnes can only transmit the battle report to Chris, and then the rest can only be resigned.
If Chris comes, then Chris is a qualified monarch, and he will still be able to fight in this battle.
If Chris cowered cowardly, then Lawnes would think he was unlucky and misidentified an unqualified monarch. When the time comes to lose everything, it is nothing more than to serve the country with death.
It is precisely because of this that Lawnes made such a choice, that is why the staff in front of him gritted his teeth with hatred.
“But are we really watching the destruction of the First Fleet like this? They are really overwhelmed by the entire army!” A young staff officer looked at his colleagues and asked weakly.
Hearing this weak question, the staff officer who was the first to speak looked even harder: “So! I said he was just playing foolish! This battle is won or lost! He must be punished in the end! Lawns guilty!”
“You all think…I shouldn’t let my fleet enter the battlefield?” Chris stood beside the map table, staring at the battlefield in front of him, and asked.
The Chief of Staff of the Royal Fleet reminded: “Your Majesty! Lawnes, this is… This is using his fleet as a bargaining chip to force you to take risks!”
This is his duty. At this time, he must remind the emperor of the risk of entering the battlefield, even if there is only a little risk, he must remind the emperor and try his best to avoid the emperor from making dangerous choices.
The huge number, sophisticated weapons, and powerful staffing of the Royal Fleet in front of us existed to protect the emperor and make the emperor absolutely safe!
Chris didn’t look up, just listened to the ever-changing battlefield, and asked his chief of staff: “Then, if I let you direct and face an attack of this size, what are you going to do?”
“I…” The chief of staff, who was nearly 60 years old, instinctively wanted to answer this question, but was stunned for a moment. He really didn’t find a more reasonable plan for a while, so he had to lower his head and quickly search for a breakthrough on the battlefield.
“Retreat? Give up most of the Higgs area and retreat to us? What’s the difference between that and letting us pass?”
“Or, he stayed where he was and sent me a message, asking me to retreat with someone immediately? Get out of here?” Chris looked at the other person, without any special expression on his face.
Hearing Chris’ question, the old general was even more embarrassed. He wanted to explain, but couldn’t find any suitable words for a while: “This…”
Chris didn’t give him a chance to answer, and then asked: “Or, he stayed on the front line, coexisted and died with Higgs 3, gave up his life and became the first marshal to die in the history of the empire?”
“Your Majesty…” The old general was even more ashamed, lowered his head, and called out in a somewhat pleading tone.
Chris looked at all the staff and explained to Lawnes: “He has no choice at all! In other words, now this is the best choice!”
He smiled, and then said to everyone: “So, there is nothing to blame!”
As he said, he patted the shoulder of the chief of staff of his fleet with his hand, and signaled him not to be nervous: “No problem! Now we are discussing battles, don’t think about other issues!”
After speaking, he faced everyone again: “If I will be concerned about my own safety, and then leave the entire 1st fleet to escape alone, then I am not a qualified emperor! And if I am not willing to own the Royal Fleet If I don’t save my capital, then I don’t deserve to be the lord of Lawnes!”
After a short pause, he said firmly: “Because of this, I have only one choice! For Ailan Hill! The whole army strikes! Press forward!”
“Yes!” Everyone had nothing to say, but raised their chins in response to your majesty’s order. They are the Royal Guards and can only stand with the emperor!
When the emperor advances, they are the emperor’s spears; when the emperor stops, they are the emperor’s shields…Before their last person died in battle, the emperor is absolutely safe!
Chris looked at the steward who was aside again: “Luther! Tell Carl, start the planetary engine and Taiyi will change its orbit and follow the fleet!”
“Yes! … Your Majesty!” Although Luther hesitated, he finally lowered his head and responded to Chris’ order.
On the bridge of another huge Invincible Tier 2 battleship not far from the flagship of the Sacred, a general stood on his back with his hands behind his back, standing in his command position, and issued an order loudly: “The whole army is ready for battle! Your Majesty! Command! Move forward in 5 minutes! Enter Higgs 3 battlefield!”
On another battleship, an officer hurried past the busy power room and loudly reminded all the personnel working inside: “Get ready for battle!”
Further afield, the captain of a battleship took his gaze away from the communication screen, grabbed the phone next to him, and solemnly ordered: “Shoot the battle alarm!”
In the narrow corridor, red lights flashed over the heads of scattered soldiers who rushed past.
And along with the red lights flashing, there was a nervous prompt sound in the broadcasting equipment: “All personnel wear protective clothing! Check the oxygen equipment and pressure equipment!”
“Attention! All personnel return to combat positions immediately! Attention!” As one after another battleship began to enter the state of preparation for battle, the interior of the battleship further away began to sound a series of prompts.
On the huge mountain-like bridge of the HMS Holy battleship, the captain held his head tall and gave a loud command: “For Ailan Hill! Course 135! The main thruster is ignited!”
“Course 135! Speed 900!” The helmsman repeated his captain’s command loudly: “Long live Ailan Hill!”
“Notify the entire army of this message!” The captain continued to give orders to the communications officer.
“Yes!” The communications officer received the message and immediately entered the message into the transmission device.
Soon, all the warships received the pre-war mobilization message from the flagship commander of the Royal Guard Fleet, who was also the commander of the Royal Guard Fleet: What our Emperor’s sword is pointing towards, and what our soldiers are facing!
“Long live my emperor! Your majesty’s sword is pointed at! I’m waiting for the soldiers to come!” After receiving the message, a captain clenched his fist and waved his arms loudly to encourage his subordinates: “Alan Hill is invincible. !”
“Elan Hill is invincible!” Inside the bridge, all the officers and soldiers shouted excitedly.
“Fixed route 135! The flagship of the Archguard Sacred! Keep the route! Speed 900! Forward! Forward!” Looking at the countless warships in front of him, the captain on the other bridge also squeezed the text paper in his hand. : “I will clean up all enemies for His Majesty the Emperor!”
In his eyes, the rear propellers of the battleships one after another lit up with even more dazzling light. One ship after another began to move slowly forward, and the main guns of one ship after another were energized and slightly raised.
The fleet was originally on the move, and it can be seen that the warships are moving slowly, indicating that some warships have begun to accelerate slightly. This is a somewhat surprising manifestation of the start-up time of the main engines of various warships. Soon the fleet coordination computer will help coordinate various warships to ensure their speed coordination.
Just as the entire fleet began to orbit the huge star in front of him, and was about to go out to the space near the Higgs 3 planet, the transport spacecraft Chris was in opened the hatch.
“Long live my emperor!” The officers, technicians and engineers who had been waiting outside the cabin for a long time saluted. Amid Shanhu’s slogans, Chris walked out of his transport spacecraft.
He waved his hand slightly to signal everyone to be less cautious, and then walked forward with Carl and the chief engineer in charge of the Taiyi project.
“How is Taiyi preparing?”
“Your Majesty, the experiment can be carried out at any time…but starting Taiyi…is it too sloppy…” Carl lowered his head slightly and tried to explain the danger.
Chris continued to walk forward, and said without looking back: “It’s too late to experiment! It’s okay to go directly to the actual combat! I have no problem, as long as there is no problem with Taiyi!”
“Your Majesty! I am afraid that Taiyi will have a problem!” The old engineer said at this time: “Although the mathematical model calculated by Mr. Shandi should be correct… But…”
“But what? Since it’s correct, don’t be afraid!” Chris said, “Also, we don’t have time to waste here.”
“What?” Carl didn’t know what was going on on the front line, and he raised his head slightly in amazement, wanting to see Luther on the side.
However, before he looked at Luther, Chris solved his doubts: “The Guardians are dispatched this time! They want to fight to conquer the world!”
Just as the Royal Guard Fleet was leaving, Chris received news from several directions.
Higgs No. 4, Higgs No. 11, the border of Dothan, and the border of Atlanta… There are a large number of Watcher fleets!
This time, the scale of the Guardian’s full-scale offensive was larger than what Lawnes had previously speculated, and was larger than what the senior leaders of the Ailan Hill Empire had previously expected!
“Let Taiyi’s **** fleet go forward with the Royal Guard Fleet! Arrived on the left side of the Royal Guard Fleet! Prepare to meet the invading enemy!” Chris waved his hand and began to dispatch troops: “Let’s be in Higgs 1 The Royal 2nd Guards Fleet rested near the USS immediately set off and moved closer to me!”
