As a veteran third-level civilization in the Milky Way, the Red Rock Galaxy has always held the title of the strongest civilization before the rise of the solar system. In addition to the strength of its own fleet, the Red Rock Galaxy has this honor, and the scope of the star system it is located in is also very large.

Because of this, there are enough resources to help them develop rapidly.

The area of ​​the entire Red Rock Galaxy is several times larger than that of the Solar System. In addition to the Red Rock Star, which is the birthplace of civilization, the galaxy also includes several other planets where a large number of Red Rock Stars live.

In addition, the defense of its galaxy can be described as an iron wall.

Not only does it have a large number of plasma cannons as the main firepower of the planetary defense fortress, it also includes patrols composed of elite fleet forces.

Inspect the situation within the galaxy in real time.

As long as there are any abnormalities, they will be reported to the headquarters as soon as possible, and corresponding countermeasures will be taken.

Especially after Xu Lei announced the Clay Empire's affairs three years ago, although the Red Rock Galaxy was not very responsive to the Civilization Administration's orders and was unwilling to consume its own fleet, it still increased the defense level in the galaxy.

Even if no trace of the Clay Empire fleet was found, the additional defense force was still not cancelled.

"Call headquarters."

"This is the Black Hawk patrol team. We have successfully arrived at the designated location."

"No abnormalities found."

"Headquarters received it, please continue to perform patrol missions."

Near the orbit of the red rock galaxy Meran Star, a patrol team composed of several medium-sized battleships is conducting daily inspections.

Make sure there are no abnormalities in the galaxy.

In the control cabin of the battleship at the front, Captain Cooney heard the order coming from the communicator, and then turned his attention to the main screen to confirm the next patrol route.

As the backbone commander of the elite fleet of the Red Rock Civilization, he was transferred to the Black Hawk Squadron three years ago as a commander.

Responsible for patrolling the outer areas of the galaxy to prevent emergencies.

Meran Star is the outermost life planet in the Red Rock Galaxy, with nearly one billion Red Rock Stars living on it.

Due to the remote location of Molan Star and the large changes in the planet's environment, this place has become a place where their Black Hawk team often patrols.

Speaking of which, Cuni can no longer remember how many times he has been here in the past three years.

In addition, the permanent population of Molan Star is relatively small, mainly because it is too remote, and most people from Red Rock Star are not willing to migrate here.

After all, they are almost at the edge of the galaxy. They are far away from the stars, and the temperature of the planet's surface cannot be guaranteed. It must be modified with the help of scientific and technological means to ensure the normal life of the people of the Red Rock Star.

Of course, Cooney doesn't care about the situation on Melan Star.

When he was first transferred to the Black Hawk Squadron, he was very excited even though he knew that his daily mission was to patrol.

It can be said that I am full of fighting spirit every time I set out.

The main reason was because he heard that the Clay Empire from the Andromeda Galaxy might take action against the Milky Way.

You must know that at that time, with the leadership of Xu Lei and the cooperation of the Civilization Administration, the entire galaxy was in an uproar. It wouldn't work if you didn't believe it.

Maybe ordinary people don't want to see the war break out, but as the most elite commander in the civilized fleet, who doesn't want to actually command a battle and prove his strength and level.

With the Civilization Administration, the various civilizations in the galaxy maintain a relatively stable and delicate relationship, and basically no major conflicts will break out.

Therefore, the fleet has very few opportunities for actual combat training. The last time we supported the solar system in wiping out the migratory Void Zerg army was already a big event.

But the enemy we have to face is the most powerful civilization in the Andromeda Galaxy, and it also wants to take over the entire Milky Way.

You don't need to think about it to know that it will be a tragic and protracted war.

Kuni was not too worried about this, but was eager to try and fight against the Clay Empire's fleet.

At least that's what he planned at the time.

Becoming the commander of the Black Hawk Patrol Team, even though the vehicle has shrunk from the large Star Destroyer at the beginning to a medium-sized battleship, it can still be regarded as being on the front line.

If there is an invasion by the Clay Empire's fleet, they will definitely participate in the battle.

It's a pity that he was so full of enthusiasm that he was gradually awakened by the cold water of time.

For three consecutive years, the system has always been normal. Not to mention encountering an invading Clay Empire fleet, not even a single Zerg was seen.

At the beginning, he could maintain his fighting spirit and participate in the patrol, but later he gave up completely. He only wanted to complete his daily work and no longer thought about the Clay Empire fleet at all.

I also think that just like what is said on the open platform, this may be fake news at all.

It is the solar system that wants to control the galaxy.

The key point is that the Black Hawk and several other patrol teams have not been cancelled, so he has no way to redeploy the fleet, and can only waste it day by day.

"Get ready to go to the next target location, everyone follows."

His thoughts returned to reality, and Cooney informed the team members in several other battleships through the battleship's communication equipment, and then immediately changed direction and continued moving forward without any hesitation in the entire process.

He was tired of this job, but after all, there were still laws and regulations of the Red Rock Galaxy. If there were problems with the mission due to the commander himself, he would definitely be tried by the court. He did not want to experience this kind of life without freedom.

So he talks a lot less than before and only knows about repetitive work every day.

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere in the entire Black Hawk team was relatively harmonious. As the team entered the route and headed steadily towards the target location, the team members couldn't help but chat in the communicator.

Of course, the topic of discussion must be the Clay Empire.

"I've been walking on this route every day for three years. It's been really boring. I don't know when those congressmen will hold a meeting to cancel the patrol."

"Who says otherwise? I think the Clay Empire is completely fake news."

"I really don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. We, the Red Rock Star people, are still a third-level civilization after all. Who would look for trouble with us and take us out of the fleet to do patrol duties? It is a complete waste of human resources."

"Captain, do you think the Andromeda Galaxy will really take action against us? Is it true that the Clay Empire has arrived?"

Cooney listened to the conversation of several team members, and when he saw someone taking the initiative to ask him, he said for the first time: "Who knows, these are not things that we little pawns can ask."

"That's right. We don't know what those congressmen are planning." The team member nodded and agreed with this answer.

Whether the news about the Clay Empire is true or false, it is not their concern.

Besides, there is nothing that can be changed.

In the time that followed, whether it was because Cooney's answer was too true or because of Cooney's taciturn character, everyone else gradually remained silent.

Stop talking about these nonsense things.

But just when they were about to arrive at the next target location and successfully complete this patrol mission, the alarm bell suddenly sounded in the control cabin of the battleship where Cooney was located.

The entire cabin flashed with a dazzling red light, obviously the battleship was in a major crisis.

"alarm!"

"alarm!"

"Unknown attack detected, please avoid immediately!"

…

"Asshole, how is this possible!"

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the first time that Cooney has encountered such a situation. When he heard the warning issued by the system and immediately confirmed it, he found that the battleship he was driving had been locked by an unknown attack, and a ship could be destroyed at any time.

fate.

But you have to know that this is within your own star system, how could it be targeted by attacks?

No matter how you look at it, it looks weird.

However, he also knew that now was not the time to think about the identity of the enemy. The top priority was to get rid of this attack.

Ensure the safety of the battleship and yourself.

It is worth mentioning that the performance ranking of the medium-sized battleships in service in the Red Rock Galaxy is not too high in the Milky Way, and it is incomparable to the Kamikaze battleships in the Solar System.

In addition, due to the friction and misunderstanding between the two civilizations, the Red Rock Galaxy was unable to purchase particle neutralizing shields and energy shield amplifiers.

This means that the battleships they are serving do not have much safety guarantee.

If it is successfully hit, there is a high probability that the battleship will crash.

The battleship driven by Cooney only had basic intelligent assistance systems. At this critical moment, he still had to rely on his superior driving experience to dodge the attack.

Therefore, at the critical moment, Cooney did not hesitate at all and directly pushed the battleship's power to the extreme manually.

While causing the battleship's speed to increase suddenly, it also forcibly changes its flight trajectory.

In the process, he ordered the team members behind him through the communication equipment in the control cabin: "An unknown enemy has targeted me. This situation is a bit unusual. You must immediately retreat to the nearest Molan Star and report your request to the headquarters.

support."

He couldn't guarantee that the enemy's target was only him. If other team members were also targeted, his reminder might have some effect.

After all, not everyone can react as quickly as him.

In addition, since the other party dares to attack them directly in the Red Rock Galaxy, they must have some support.

Perhaps it can be said that they are not afraid of the red rock galaxy at all.

Under such circumstances, if their several medium-sized battleships do not return to the planet as soon as possible and use the planetary defense fortress to cooperate with the attack, they may be shot down in a short time.

And the Red Rock Star was too far away from them, so the best way was to return to the Molan Star they just passed by.

Although the permanent population of Melan Planet is relatively small and the conditions are relatively difficult, it is precisely because it is located at the edge of the galaxy that its external defense power is stronger than that of other planets.

As long as you successfully enter Molan Star, your safety will be guaranteed.

Things were just as Cooney thought. They had a patrol team composed of several battleships. If the enemy wanted to attack, how could they attack only one of them?

It can be said that when he explained the situation to the team members, several people had already reacted and adopted the same response measures.

But it may be that things happened too quickly and others didn't have time to respond to their situation.
To be continued...
