Chapter 723 Bucephalus

On the other hand, Mackintosh promised directly as the earl, how could he not be tempted?

So Halifax doesn't think Mr Abbott is playing double-faced.

In the past half a month or so, the people Mackintosh sent to assist Albert in the preliminary work have obtained a lot of precious information. He is confident that he will avoid the Star Alliance navy and directly approach "Dilal". Then leave calmly.

Ten minutes later, the "Feathered Serpent" left from the largest sealed port in Ptolemy's military port, and flew towards the assault fleet composed of 2,000 warships.

On the battle channel, the fifth-generation imperial battleship Dragon King Whale, the fifth-generation special service ship Ghost Shark, and the fifth-generation heavy assault ship Mako Shark have already lined up, waiting for the "Feathered Serpent" to issue an attack order.

The above-mentioned fifth-generation warships and the Soul Singer-class flagship, the Dark Knight-class cruiser, the Eye of God-class scout ship, and the Holy Spirit-class aircraft carrier equipped with the Lionheart King's independent fleet are all the latest types of ships in various countries, and the cost of the units is expensive. It is 5-10 times that of the fourth-generation warships of the same specification, which shows how powerful their combat effectiveness is.

Albert's assistance, coupled with many powerful warships, is the source of Halifax's confidence.

He believes in data, he believes in Xu Dela, and he believes in his own vision.

⊕↘dǐng⊕↘ǎn⊕↘Small ⊕↘ said, .⊕.≠o The attack command was issued by the "Feathered Serpent" to each wing, and 2,000 warships entered the virtual space at specific intervals from front to back, and went to Travel in the direction of "Dilal".

The streamer was flickering, the engine was roaring, and Hydra left the lair, revealing two heads, roaring sharply towards the distant mountain clouds.

………………

At the same time, there was deep space outside the Sokanada line of defense where the Star Alliance, the Phoenix Empire, and the Silver Eagles converged.

The stars became dim under the magnificent dust cloud, as if they were covered by something, and they seemed afraid to open their eyes, for fear that the light would disturb the peaceful sleep of a certain terrifying existence.

Yes. There is a monster dormant in this deep space, to be precise, it is a huge bone dragon with a body length of more than 2 kilometers.

Most of the time, it is used to sleeping, only the blood-red light flickering under its ribs proves that it is still alive.

For young people of this era. Many people don't know its origin, but for the elderly people in the Tiannest Star District, especially the people of the Silver Eagle Group,

Must be no stranger to it.

"Nibelungen", one of the three signature fortress ships of the Third Committee.

For so many years, it has been wandering in the deep space around the Sokanada defense line, and will swallow any unlucky one who strays into the territory by mistake.

It is a neighbor of the abyss, a companion of darkness, and a companion of death.

It is lonely.

However today. It is no longer alone.

There are more than 40 warships with a body length of about 100-200 meters suspended in the void near the huge hull of the "Nibelungen". They have different models, including the Dogfish-class frigate of the Monya Empire, the Sea Dog-class frigate of the Sulu Empire, the Viper-class light assault ship of the Charles Federation, and the Cobra-class frigate...

These warships of different specifications have one thing in common --- tattered. It looks like it has been in disrepair for a long time, and there is even a strange layer of moss on the surface of the hull, as if they were once discarded on a dark and damp planet, and then returned to space by a scrap collector.

Such a scale. Such a ship, in the eyes of ordinary people. They will definitely think that they are some pirate group that can't get on the table.

The truth is, each of them has the ability to rival the ranks of the Whitebeard Pirates, because they come from a notorious organization - the Supreme Council.

Yes, they are all hybrid battleships.

The Supreme Security Council and the Third Committee reunited after more than 20 years. It's happening here.

A nearly 300-meter-long hybrid battleship is parked 10 kilometers below the "Nibelungen". From the appearance, it should be the Youxianwang-class destroyer of the Phoenix Empire.

At this moment, a small shuttle in the shape of a goshawk flew out of the huge eye sockets on the head of the "Niebelungen" and dropped into the hangar of the mixed battleship below.

in a minute. The tail propeller of the hybrid battleship evolved from the Youxianwang-class destroyer ejected a black flame, and quickly left the vicinity of the "Nibelungen" and returned to the hybrid battleship group.

At the same time, the rib-shaped structure of the abdomen of the "Nibelungen" expanded outward, and one after another white objects flew out of the bone dragon's chest cavity and entered the void below.

That kind of white is neither glistening white nor silvery white, but pale.

The first batch of warships that separated from the belly of the ship were almost 80 meters long and looked like scorpions. What is different from the "Seraphim" is that their bodies are very thin, and the bridge part of the ship's thickest hull is only seven or eight meters high. A pair of wing-like giant pincers protrude forward, wrapping around the head of the battleship, and the rear part The row of small jointed limbs also has a short wing structure, and the stinger, the most powerful weapon of the scorpion, is also spread flat behind the back, unable to bend or move, like three tail wings unfolded.

Except for the giant pincers at the front that are closely connected to the hull, those small fins and tail fins are the same as the huge wingspan of the "Niebelungen", floating outside the main body of the battleship.

These scorpion ships are not so much spaceships as they are huge special fighters.

But in the eyes of the people of the Silver Eagles, they are synonymous with terror and killing --- Hunter-class assault boats.

Just like the Hades-class destroyer mounted on the Anubis Legion "Hades" aircraft carrier, the Safari-class assault craft is the carrier-based aircraft carried by the "Nibelungen" fortress... No, it is a carrier-based aircraft. boat.

A total of 24 Hunter-class assault boats left the mothership and flew to the airspace where the hybrid warship was located.

After that, at the end of the huge ribs of the "Nibelungen", the vacuole in the center of the pelvis slowly dissipated, and one after another blood-red rays of light lit up in the hole at a height of 100 meters. A more powerful battleship flew out of it.

From a distance, they look like two parallel triangular army thorns, with a blood-red energy flow in the middle, and bright yellow arcs sometimes bounce on the surface, and around the outer edge of the army thorns, there are circles of pale unknown The metal ring, like the white bones on the surface of the "Nibelungen", tightly wound the two thorn structures.

This kind of ship is also no stranger to the people of the Silver Eagle Group. They call it the Wu Zhu class armored ship.

The body of this type of warship is 240 meters long, which is three times that of the Safari class assault boat.

This time, the "Nibelungen" released a total of 12 Wuzhu-class armored ships, which are the same as the previous 24 Safari-class assault boats. Join a group of mixed battleships.

Five minutes later, a total of 79 warships near the "Nibelungen" started their jump drives one after another.

The first to leave was the Youxianwang-class hybrid battleship and its group of mixed battleships. When the tails of these seemingly dilapidated battleships sprayed out a series of flames that were darker and colder than the void, one after another small black holes formed at the front of the mixed battleships. In the next second, those moss-covered battleships turned into one after another and collapsed in a clockwise direction. The streamer of light disappeared above the void.

The Ranger-class assault craft and the Wuzhu-class armored ship followed closely behind. A huge energy surge spreads out from the center of the ship, and the surrounding time and space begin to distort and oscillate. The original white ship body is covered by a lattice structure, and the structure composed of the lattice trembles a few times like a heartbeat. The speed visible to the naked eye blurs and disappears in this space.

If Tang Fang saw this scene, he would definitely feel unbelievable, because the transition method of the warship of the Third Committee is somewhat similar to that of the "Seraphim" disappearing into the gap between time and space.

The restless starry sky once again returned to opportunity, and the curtain composed of dust clouds and star clusters seemed to be eternal. Monotonously and serenely hanging in the distance.

The "Nibelungen" returns to solitude.

It is a bone dragon, a dead dragon, and this is its resting place, the dragon's cemetery.

………………

The universe is boundless, and no one knows what is happening or what is going on in the starry sky. Some of the brilliance fell into the eyes of people, and it may have been old things many years ago.

Like fate, the future is never known. But yesterday, it was mostly flowers, red leaves and thin leaves.

Tang Fang didn't know that there was a conversation underground in the palace. I also don't know the hustle and bustle of "Er Naga", and I can't hear the roar of the undead on the Sokanada defense line.

He just watched lightly, listened lightly, and chewed lightly, the sweet but not greasy little heart with vanilla flavor in his mouth.

Elizabeth made a fool of herself, and Heloise made a fool of herself. So no one dared to approach him, so he could finally enjoy the temptation of delicious food quietly and soothe the little emotions of the students in Wuzang Temple.

No one came to provoke him, and people who did not represent the new faction would sit back and watch him leisurely enjoy the food, as well as members of the fence-sitting faction, old-school faction or worship. or fearful glances.

Serves has always been a proud white swan. He used to raise his head, straighten his snow-white neck, and attract the attention of the surrounding audience with his heroic posture. He was splashed with feces by Captain Tang. Although he is not the protagonist today, it does not mean that he will let go and be a quiet and handsome man.

He didn't go to trouble Captain Tang like Heloise did, but set his target on Elena.

He is very smart, very, very smart, because Elena is very different from Tang Fang, she can't learn his pretense of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and she can't learn his thick skin, so Servis got his wish and became a dancer on the dance floor. A very dazzling pearl that attracted many people's attention from Captain Tang to himself.

Elena dances very skillfully. Under his guidance, she makes all kinds of pleasing movements, so smooth and coordinated, like dandelions marrying far away in the breeze, or like clouds flowing gently under the moonlight .

Servez tried his best to show his charm to tell people that he and Elena are more like a pair of gods and couples that everyone admires, rather than a bumpkin like Tang Fang.

This kind of curvaceous act of saving the country is really great, even Tang Fang himself couldn't help applauding the Marquis.

Kyrenia also entered the dance floor, not to spoil Servis and Elena's dance, she was invited by Lord Small, the grandson of Grand Duke Rules, to join the dance.

What Kelenia did at the reception was to promote a general trend and make Tang Fang the leader in the eyes of the fence-sitting faction. Although this matter should not be rushed, the necessary foreshadowing should still be done.

Small is the eldest grandson of Grand Duke Rouls, socializing with him is only good for Tang Fang, even if the old guy has always been neutral, does not participate in the political struggle between the new faction and the old faction, and keeps a certain distance from the fence-sitting faction.

As the saying goes, keep a line in life, so that we can meet each other in the future.

In view of Captain Tang's crazy idea, she could only choose to do this.

The atmosphere of the reception became a bit delicate, because of the identities of the participants, there was more or less a political flavor.

Tang Fang still ate his food and hummed his ditties, acting as if he stayed out of the matter.

Sunbat and Tyron bid farewell. After saying goodbye to Li Yun, he said a few words to Elizabeth, and then walked towards the dining table. When he came to him, he deliberately emphasized his tone and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang. I still have things to deal with today. Let's go first , have time to drink together."

"Okay." Tang Fang responded with a smile, and then followed Senbat's movements to hug him gently.

"Be careful with Small." The voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear it.

Tang Fang didn't speak, just patted his shoulder lightly.

Sunbat turned and left very simply, took a 40-year-old woman out of the hall and walked outside.

Many people watched his back disappear into the thick night before turning their heads. Melting the stiff and cold smile at the corners of his mouth, he continued to whisper to the people around him, and glanced at Tang Fang's calm side face by the way.

From the time Sunbat approached to the time he left, he remained calm, with no waves in his eyes. Only Henrietta noticed an abnormality, and the moment he hugged Sembart, his shoulders shook.

The old man thought that Sembart must have said something to him.

Tang Fang did hear something unusual, but Henrietta got one thing wrong. It wasn't Sembart's reminder that made his shoulders shake, but the reminder from the interstellar system deep in his mind.

",on."

"ss, rsar, o!"

"n..."

"prpar, as..."

"Pa...13%...22%...78%..."

"ras."

"rn,!"

"..."

Such a scene happened. If he doesn't respond anymore, it's like not showing off Miss Logic's face.

A sissy hug from Senbat actually expanded new elements for the system. Don't think about it, it must be that Miss Logic has fallen ill again.

Watching His Excellency leave, he immediately shifted his attention to the system space: "Emma, ​​report the memory pool data change address."

"Commander. According to the analysis of the system log content, this update is located at the human base."

Suddenly, the system interface was replaced by the human base screen. He selected an s, and pressed the build hotkey to see if there were new production items to unlock.

No new items are unlocked in the base building menu. But when Tang Fang returned to the main menu and pressed the advanced building hotkey, he found a new building pattern in the item column in the upper right corner, which looked familiar.

When he moved the cursor over it, it was displayed as "Valerian's Space Station", and its cost was as high as 500 crystals and 500 gas.

Tang Fang held back his wandering thoughts, and directed S to put down the building on the "open space" next to him.

Waiting for the building to take shape, he switched the focus to "Valerian's Space Station", and there were two new items in the menu bar. A highlighted human head was none other than Valerian Mengsk, the prince of the empire. Your Highness.

A sissy hug from Sombart unlocks Valerian!

This can't help but remind him of Gan Cui lock, Zeratul and Nova's unlocking process again, thinking that Sister Logic deserves to be Sister Logic, her logic is simply speechless.

You must know that Arcturus Mengsk used words like "sissy" to describe his son when he met Valerian for the first time after he had a successful career. Some sissies, so Sister Logic unlocked the little prince.

Hehe...hehe...hehe.

Apart from a dry laugh, he couldn't find any emotion to express his 100,000 greetings to Sister Logic.

The cost of Valerian is relatively cheap, 8 gas, 7 gas, occupying 6 people, and the resource consumption is roughly the same as that of Ariel.

In the StarCraft plot, Valerian doesn’t play too many roles. He has always been a good friend of Matt and Raynor. His most powerful ability is to engage in politics. It can be seen from the fleet that he has good language arts and knowledge.

Different from the hypocritical and cunning dictator like Emperor Mengsk, he is a kind and benevolent enlightened emperor, which may be related to his early experience. In short, compared with Matt's radical approach to reform, he is more reserved and stable.

Although the appearance of Valerian can't increase his military strength and technological strength, but in the current environment, he can become a good helper like Kyrenia and help him.

It's like coming to the United Kingdom of Turanx yourself. Only Sheridan, Ruskin, Chen Jian, Stephen and others are present in "Dilal", and their abilities are not enough to take on the heavy responsibility of the development of "Morning Star Casting". Now with a generalist like Valerian, On the contrary, he can be qualified for the duty of "Morning Star Casting" o, and help him share some pressure.

Whether it is the Supreme Security Council or God Armed. Or the Anubis Legion, they are extremely powerful enemies, and he cannot always be passively beaten. Offense is the best defense, and he will always lead the fleet to dig out those guys in the future. On the other hand, he had to leave someone to take care of his hometown, and Valerian existed for this purpose, including the counterattack against the Monya Empire in the future, and the little prince could also help him a lot.

But there is a prerequisite, it must be a parasitic mode.

Only in this way. Only Valerian can truly integrate into this world, know the social situation in the Hillenbel region, understand what the grassroots people are thinking and what they need, and continue to implement his path of reform.

If Congreve hadn't died, he might have been the right person to carry Valerian's thoughts and memories, but now...

He suddenly remembered that the "Angela" had just joined the Skywalker guards, and he bid farewell to the departing Saik Bacal. I think this is a very perfect combination, but... I'm afraid it's hard to convince that stubborn guy. After all, no one wants to be someone else.

Anyway, it is not necessary for Valerian to help now. He decided to put this matter aside for the time being, just like he did with Nova, and wait until he completes the mission of "Khanos" to rescue Zhou Ai. It's not too late to make calculations later.

He turned his attention to another icon, a battlecruiser. It is different from the Minotaur-class battlecruiser built by Xinggang, and it is not a behemoth-class battlecruiser like the Hyperion, but a more slender one. If he guessed right, it should be the most powerful in the empire The new battlecruiser. Gorgon class. If we refer to Valerian's identity, then its name is ready to emerge --- Bucephalus.

Yes, it is Valerian's flagship, the Bucephalus.

Unfortunately, however, its icon is greyed out and has not been unlocked.

This is within Tang Fang's expectation, because the fusion core has not been unlocked, and the Minotaur-class battlecruiser is still gray in Starport, not to mention the powerful Gorgon-class battlecruiser.

Sister Logic is still so good at teasing him, unlocking the Gancui Lock needs Tassadar, unlocking the Void Seeker needs Zeratul, and unlocking Zeratul requires the Dark Altar. He always likes to make some small planes to fool him.

"Hmm... wait."

As if thinking of something, he switched the cursor to the icon of the Bucephalus, and then, the unlocking conditions displayed in the comment box made him laugh out loud.

Yes, like the heroic vehicles such as Gancui Lock and Void Seeker, its unlocking has nothing to do with the fusion core. To make it appear, Valerian only needs to exist.

He couldn't calm down any longer, thinking whether he should quickly summon Valerian, and then produce the Bucephalus.

Such thoughts hovered in the depths of his mind for a long time before being suppressed by his strong perseverance. He has not obtained the 2000 gas yet, and the 7500 tons of zero elements raised by the 1st Ranger Regiment are also in the Seth naval port, and he has not had time to absorb them. , the gas resources in the system space are now full, but it is only 21. If you subtract the 7 gas needed by Valerian, the remaining 14 gas.

God knows how much the Bucephalus cost? He didn't believe that the price of this kind of flagship-level warship was the same as that of the ordinary Minotaur-class, would 14 gas be enough? Even if it was enough, he would not dare to waste precious gas resources easily in a place like "Cabreto" where he might be ambushed by God's armed forces at any time, unless he needed the help of the Bucephalus.

So, even though his heart was extremely excited, he still suppressed this idea with all his strength.

When the turbulent mood gradually calmed down, he suddenly discovered an anomaly, not an anomaly in the system space, it came from the outside world.

Many people looked at him with idiotic eyes, including Henrietta and Gilcott who were not far away. Only the people in the middle of the dance floor who were engrossed in dancing remained unchanged.

He remembered how he had laughed to express his excitement when he learned that the Bucephalus did not need the support of a fusion core.

A person, mechanically stuffing food into his mouth, suddenly laughed out loud, spraying those heart scum all over the place.

What is not an idiot? (To be continued..)

ps: I didn't lie to you! I didn't lie to you! I didn't lie to you!

Important things should be said three times.
