Chapter 508 "Chess Player", "Chess Piece", "Eyewitness"

The fluctuations in hyperspace navigation?

Upon hearing this, Lyon did not need the female civilian staff to continue to explain, and understood that the Rebel Special Forces Squad of Ya'an No. 4 was "later".

In addition, it is also possible that the Galactic Empire side discovered that Idu's research facilities were invaded and then sent a corresponding number of reinforcements.

As expected, the following words of the female civilian staff confirmed his speculation, only listening to:

"Director Kennedy, our ships confirmed through identification signals that three U-wing fighters from the Rebel Alliance and a Randham-class shuttle from the Galactic Empire have been discovered near Idu."

The female civilian paused and continued: “In addition, based on the exact information from the Intelligence Department, we learned that the Landham-class shuttle was carrying the senior general of the Galaxy Empire, Orson Krennik.

He is the director of the Empire's Advanced Weapons Research, but the latest instructions from his superiors are that he will not have direct contact with Krennik for the time being, and other goals will be completed first. ”

Upon hearing the news, Lyon's brow frowned slightly again, his eyes staring at the mist and clouds in the distance, as if through the heavy rain screen, he looked at the Landham-class shuttle still outside the atmosphere.

He knew that Krennik's appearance was indeed "accidental".

The opponent chose to be at this time point and had no escort bodies or escort ships, which indicated that he had never expected Idu to be raided by the Rebel Alliance and their group of armed personnel from other universes.

Then the greatest possibility that Krennik rushed to Idu alone was to interrogate Garen Erso about Bodhi Ruk's defection.

The Investigation Department sent Diana V type to Idu in time

"It seems that the superiors hope to finalize the decisive battle location in the early stage of integration in Scarif."

Thinking of this, Lyon, who was standing on the shuttle parking station platform, sighed.

Immediately, he replied to the female civilian staff in the communication: "Try to contact the special forces team of the Rebel Army and let them board our hidden class ship for cover first.

We will urge the transportation fleet again. Time is tight, so we must leave this area as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary conflicts. ”

"Yes, Director Kennedy."

The female civilian answer was as quick and clear as ever.

After the communication, Rebecca suddenly spoke from behind, with a hint of relaxed teasing in her voice, and asked:

"Sir, are there any more fun battles? It's really not to our taste for abuse."

Her desire for battle can be felt in almost every word.

However, before Lyon responded, the captain of the special operations team responsible for Rebecca's team, warned in a deep voice:

"Sergeant, the mission is not for you to use for entertainment. Once again, you will be directly demoted and fined."

"This is, sir."

Rebecca thought Lyon seemed "kind", so she wanted to take the opportunity to make a splash and ask them if they still have a chance to join the war.

She didn't think she would "died before she succeeded" and was directly extinguished by her direct superior.

Lyon was not involved in the conversation. He just turned his head slightly and glanced at the interaction between Rebecca and the captain as usual.

To be honest, the captain of the special operations team in charge of Rebecca was given a harsh warning to Rebecca on the surface, but secretly "save" Rebecca.

As a member of the Special Forces Team, Rebecca's actions were not ignorant, but because of long-term high-intensity battles, he occasionally showed some slackness.

The seemingly harsh warning actually reserves room for Rebecca-

After all, if Lyon did the handling personally this time, Rebecca might be punished directly.

Although Lyon has a relatively tolerant personality and is easy to get along with his subordinates, he has always strictly required discipline when it comes to task execution.

Rebecca's "untouched" is indeed disrespectful to her superiors.

To be more broad, it is even a suspicion of not paying attention to discipline.

If this attitude is condoned and spreads throughout the special operations team, not only Rebecca, but also the cohesion of the entire team will be affected.

Moreover, even if there is a special operations team, Lyon cannot disclose it in advance now.

Not long after.

As the engine roared in the air, Lyon and others quickly turned their eyes to the distance.

I saw two Luna transport boats, four Silver Owls, plus two Ghost VIII fighter jets responsible for escorting, and the transport formation formed by them broke through the thick clouds and appeared in their field of vision.

Immediately afterwards, a Silver Owl and a Ghost VIII quickly left the main formation and headed straight for the crash site of the U-wing fighter.

The wreckage was scattered there, and they needed to clean up and make sure there were no traces left to avoid any evidence, and they picked up Cassian, Chilu and others.

The remaining transport units continued to approach the platform, preparing to pick up Lyon and its members of the Special Operations Team.

Another Ghost VIII circling over them, always keeping alert to ensure that no enemies disturb the evacuation process.

In just over three minutes, the entire transport formation completed the task of receiving the task. After safely loading all personnel and key "evidences", it quickly flew to the sky and returned to the sky, flying towards the Diana V concealed ship located in low-Earth orbit. go.

Wait for transportation formation to disappear into thick clouds—

Boom-boom-boom-! ! !

The main building of the research facility exploded after a violent shock.

That was the result of the careful arrangement of the remote remote-controlled plasma bomb that the special operations team had detonated simultaneously at multiple key nodes before leaving.

The explosion light almost instantly tore through the gray sky, and the firelight was like a lightning bolt that cut through the sky, lit up the entire horizon and instantly swallowed all the vision.

The high temperature and destructive power of the plasma explosion even made the surrounding air stagnate, as if the whole world was accompanied by this "destruction".

At this moment, the existence of the research facility was completely erased from the planet, leaving only the devastated cliff walls.

At the same time, detonating the plasma bomb also made the special operations team have the illusion of "destroying corpses and destruction".

There is no evidence that Galen Erso and Death Star related researchers have been rescued.

In Orson Krennik's eyes, the destruction of the research facility and the killing of Garen Erso are very likely to be the rebel alliance who is desperate and then fight to the death to prevent the successful completion of the Death Star.

In this way, in order to maintain power and status among the top leaders of the Galaxy Empire who are fighting openly and secretly, Orson Krennik must go to Scarif to ensure that the Death Star project has no hidden dangers.

After all, there have been too many "crackers" during this period.

Of course, as for the stormtroopers who surrendered and were knocked out by the special forces, as well as various imperial staff, they had long been forcibly transferred to one of the Luna transport boats.

Although the Special Forces Team will never be ruthless during the mission, or hesitate because the enemy is a human compatriot, in the face of humans who actively surrendered, the Special Forces Team does not blindly be ruthless, but will do its best to do its best. to save the life of the captive.

Because it won't take long, the vast majority of the captives will be the people of the main universe empire.

——

When the Randam-class shuttle carrying Orson Krennik entered the atmosphere of Idu and was about to arrive at the research facility that had been reduced to ruins, the mission of the transport formation had been successfully completed and quietly returned. Diana V type hangar.

Moreover, along with the transport formation, there are three U-wing fighters with the double wings and expanding the hatch doors on both sides.

The Rebel Special Forces, whose weapons and equipment were simple and could not even be unified in combat uniforms, was standing on the deck of the hangar with some confusion.

This team with only more than 30 people obviously lacks the uniform equipment and momentum of the Galaxy Empire.

They seem to be a team made up of different units and organized, not like a well-trained special unit at all.

However, they, who seem to be simple on the outside, remain highly vigilant.

Some wanted to raise the explosive gun in their hands, but looking at the two tyrants who were more than four meters holding a rotating cannon in one hand, they could not raise the gun rashly.

After all, they know that any careless move can cause misunderstandings, especially in such a complicated situation.

Some rebels observed every move in the hangar, as if they were preparing for the worst.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

It was not until these rebels found out that Casian, who was helped by K-2SO, left Luna's transport boat, that they relaxed a little hostility.

One of the older rebel veterans was obviously very surprised by Cassian's arrival and hurriedly walked towards Xi'an.

Seeing that Cassian was not seriously injured, the veteran breathed a sigh of relief, and then his tone was filled with anxiety and concern, and he asked:

"Casian, what exactly happened to you? And what is going on?"

Hearing this, Cassian raised his head, tired but calm, and immediately replied:

"I'm fine, Messiel, as for the situation."

Cassian said, turning his gaze to Lyon, who had also just walked out of Luna's transport boat, then turned his gaze back to his comrades in front of him, his tone slowing down slightly:

"The specific situation is a long story, and thank you guys, so let them relax first. There is no danger here."

Hearing Cassian's answer, the veteran frowned, obviously still confused by the current complex situation.

Despite the doubts in his heart, the veteran had 100% trust in Cassian, so he chose to follow Cassian's advice, turned around and waved to the other rebels standing on the deck of the hangar, and signaled the guys with a clean and neat movement. Relieve the alert.

On the other hand, Lyon's side—

"Hello, I'm Lyon S. Kennedy, and I'm glad to invite you, Mr. Erso."

Lyon, who walked out of Luna's transport boat, stretched out his right hand to the somewhat dull and confused Garen Erso.

Galen's expression, which was a little confused, calmed down a little at this moment. Seeing Lyon's calm and friendly smile, he realized that the other party seemed to be hostile.

Then Garen quickly stretched out his right hand and held Lyon, but his tone was still tempted and careful:

"Hello, which rebel army do you belong to?"

"Haha, Mr. Erso, we are not directly affiliated with any rebel forces, we are considered an independent and huge organization."

Lyon let go of his hand, paused, and continued to say meaningfully: "Our purpose is to fight for freedom for oppressed lives on a wider battlefield."

"Father!"

Just then, Jean Erso's shout cut through the silence of the hangar.

Qin walked out of Luna's transport boat. Although her injuries were controlled in time and her consciousness had recovered, her pace still seemed rapid and unstable.

Her eyes were locked tightly at Garen Erso standing in the crowd, as if the whole world was gradually blurring in her eyes.

The next second, Qin staggered over and threw herself into her father's arms without hesitation.

"Is my star really you?"

Garen couldn't believe it at all, and said in a trembling voice, then hugged his daughter tightly with his arms, as if afraid that she would suddenly disappear.

"It's me. Dad, it's me."

Qin's tears had long been shedding, but at this moment, she finally found the long-lost support.

Looking at the moving scene in front of him, Lyon knew very well that he should not disturb the reunion of family affection, so he stepped back with tactfully and issued the latest order to the female civilian staff on the communication channel:

"Apply to our superiors, we will go straight to the planet Yawen 4 and start negotiations with the Rebel Alliance."

Lyon's order is concise and clear, and the subsequent negotiations will determine the future strategic direction.

In other words, it determines whether human casualties are too large in the war of unity.

"Uh Director." However, the female civilian on the other end of the communication had a hint of hesitation in her tone, and then reported:

"Director, I have just received the latest instructions from my superiors. The superiors ordered our ships to rush to Skarif to meet with the 1st son who was heading out first."

?

Lyon was stunned when he heard this order.

However, he quickly realized that the investigation department’s superiors, or Ada’s latest arrangement, was indeed more efficient and practical.

Because, instead of directly negotiating and negotiating with the Rebel Alliance, it is better to cooperate with the 1st Company of Qianshao Son and "take Scarif for your own possession."

In this way, the Rebel Alliance can feel more "intuitively" the strength of their main universe empire.

After all, it is okay to brag about anyone, but the strength cannot be "blowed out".

Only by truly demonstrating the strength can we shock the little ones and allow the "bysitting" forces to see the situation clearly.

Otherwise, I will always think that I am a "chess player" rather than a "chess piece".

Moreover, Cassian and others who were affiliated with the Rebel Alliance were just inside the concealed class ship they were on, so they could act as "eyewitnesses".

After understanding Ada's intention in a short moment, Lyon did not raise any objection, but responded on the communication:

"Okay, then follow the instructions of the superiors and immediately make a leap sail and head to Scarif."

"Yes, Director."

After the two ended the call, the Diana V type, who remained in a hidden state, started the transition engine, teared the "block" in the physical universe, entered the leap space, and disappeared into the universe where Idu was located.
