After a few words, Celine was speechless.

She has indeed always been the view of the shrinking faction, hoping that Yin Beidou can focus more on resolving conflicts within the empire, instead of exploring the universe at a loss of money and people.But the three military fortresses are of great significance, so how can you say that if you don't want them, you can just don't?

Of course, if the empire is really in danger, Yin Beidou should also rescue it at the risk of shrinking its territory.But now that the crisis in Aslan's capital has passed, the empire's military strength is far superior to the attackers, so there is no reason to show cowardice first.

In case there is really a good or bad situation in the fortress, they will be scolded as national traitors with their spines poked.

Leian said lightly: "The Yinbeidou Fortress, not a single one can be lost, and a single soldier is not allowed to return."

Celine knew she had made a slip of the tongue a long time ago, so she quickly lowered her head and replied, "Yes!"

Even if this matter was uncovered, His Highness did not continue to pursue it, and his eyes still fell on the three-dimensional star map.

A three-dimensional spherical projection is suspended on the light blue screen, showing the battles of both sides.

Located in the center of the sphere are naturally the three major galaxies of the empire.There are enough open Yu Regions between galaxies for fleets to exchange fire, among which the Hecate Promenade, the White Snake Root Star Field, and so on are famous and dangerous places.

But now the situation is special, the Crystal Cult fleet goes deep into the territory of the empire, and at best, Star City can form a pincer attack, and it can even be surrounded and wiped out if it fights beautifully.

But to put it worse, if the Crystal Cult "jumps over the wall" in any direction, if they "jump" into the interior of Star City, tens of thousands of civilians will be killed or injured in a single thought.

Admiral Celine is obviously the type of general who is trying to seek stability. She chose to force the Crystal Sect to the outer space, but now she is far away from the major star cities.It's just that the fleet also moved away from the space station in circles, and just like this, it was stalemate twice in the sea of stars.

In the current situation, it is already whimsical to want to fight for annihilation. The most important thing is to expel the Crystal Cult's fleet from the empire as soon as possible.

Lai An took a rough look at the fleet arrangement, and first asked the generals in the Jinrilun Star Fleet headed by Celine what their plans are.

"Now there are two ways of thinking, Your Highness," Celine said in a low voice. "The first one is that we slow down and fight the Crystal Cult in a circle.Once locked, the thieves came here on an expedition, and the logistics can't keep up. If it takes a long time, they will definitely lose. It's just that the alien creatures may become a hidden danger in the future, and...the night is long and there are many dreams."

"The second method is to attack with all strength. If the enemy starship can be forced within the range of the main gun of the space station, it can cause effective damage... But the army casualties may be relatively large. Whether it can be defeated is another matter."

Lai An lowered his head and glanced at the time through the wrist phone in his hand. It was less than ten hours before the recovery of the high-dimensional blockade.

That is to say, during this period of time, there may be new forces jumping in from the Outer Yu Region at any time. Once you think about fighting a protracted war and relax your position, it may give the enemy an opportunity.

But the strategy of forcing the enemy to the space station is also hard to say. The space station has a powerful main gun, but it also has a high-dimensional blockade main core. If the main core is destroyed, it will be all over.

——The two ideas finally discussed by these Jinrilun generals have risks.It's hard to say it's safe, let alone perfect.

But in this situation, the imperial side is already passive, and it is really difficult to find any amazing tactics.

Beside, Celine raised her head.After she finished saying what she just said in a row, now there was a little hesitation on her expression, as if she was hesitant to speak.

Lai An could tell at a glance that this person did it deliberately for him to see. The principle is basically the same as "I don't know whether I should say something."

He was already very annoyed by Jiang Jianming's affairs, so naturally he had no good temper, so he opened his mouth and said, "Speak up if you have something to say."

"Your Highness," Celine restrained herself, adjusted her breathing, and showed a dignified expression, "Your Majesty has a merciless request."

"For this battle... Your Royal Highness, please don't interfere with the tactical command of the main fleet."

Celine paid a military salute, and she looked behind her firmly, "Leave everything to the subordinates and the generals here."

The air froze.The crown prince remained silent for a long time, and the generals behind Celine were sweating, and there was a frightening silence.

For a long time, Lai An looked at the female general expressionlessly: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Your Highness, forgive me." Celine gritted her teeth and continued, "I heard that the Crown Princess is still in the hands of the enemy... and you have a deep affection for the Crown Princess."

Lai An raised an eyebrow unexpectedly.Celine dared not speak with a pale face.She is indeed the Admiral of the Star Fleet of Jinrilun Space Station and the only female admiral in the empire, but what is she in front of the crown prince?

It would not be surprising for His Highness to be furious and even flip the console on the spot to speculate about the prince so hastily.

Of course, it is impossible to think about letting His Highness Lai An no longer participate in this battle.

That's why she said that, it was a kind of aggressive method.

As long as she said this, it implied that His Highness would be threatened by the enemy because of the safety of the Crown Princess... His Highness would definitely be furious, and then refute.

Then when the time comes, if the enemy really threatens Jiang Jianming, His Highness will not do anything out of the ordinary even if it is to preserve the prestige of the prince.

Lai An: "Yes."

"..."

With this understatement, Admiral Celine, who was immersed in her own thoughts, froze for two seconds before raising her face.

The people behind were also stunned, what does "um" mean??

The crown prince looked cold and serious, but he was not angry at all, instead he said: "Very good, everyone can see that I have a deep love for the crown princess, I am very pleased."

After he finished speaking solemnly, he raised his legs and walked down from the commanding platform, "There is a chess player with a careful layout in the enemy army. I was once tricked by a trick when I was on Alien Alpha. Remember to march carefully, Duo SiduoThink, don't be too arrogant."

Celine was at a loss, and several generals Kim Il-lun behind her were also at a loss.

Finally someone bluntly felt something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you misunderstood, isn't the general—"

"I won't interfere too much, and I hope you all have prosperous martial arts."

Lai An waved his hand: "Go back first."

——This is the last entrustment left by the crown prince to the fleet. After saying this, he has already walked out of the automatic door, leaving a place where people who have not reacted look at each other in blank dismay.

The mech stopped a dozen or so steps away. Lai An drilled inside and drove out of the starship along the passage, and no one dared to stop him along the way.

The mecha is a B-level M-Huohu 03, a balance machine picked up at random. The only advantage is that the space system is not badly equipped.

The crown prince drove the mecha with crystal bones alone, ignoring the communication request from the Athena, and gradually left the fleet.

In the universe, the stars are vast and flickering.

Lai An leaned on the seat in the cockpit, silently picked up an apple and put it in front of him, and called up the 3D star map.

After a while, while raising his hand to fiddle with the simulated battle situation, he muttered to himself, "There are not many people in the world who can threaten me..."

"So when your master comes back, you have to tell him about it, so that he can cherish it more."

"It's time for him to hold back his capricious temper, am I right, dog?"

"At the end of the day, it's useless for him to go to Crystal Cult; but if he chooses to follow me, he will now be sitting in the command seat of the Jinrilun flagship...he will regret it."

The lonely dialogue between the human and the brain didn't last long, and the communication from the military headquarters came again.The old marshal said dumbfoundedly:

"Your Highness, Celine came to me just now, saying that her words and deeds made you angry and left. Now the entire fleet's generals are shocked and begging you to go back!"

"I'm not angry."

Lai An rubbed the apple in his palm, shook his head, and said concisely: "Celine will lose."

"Oh, what do you say, Your Highness?"

Old Marshal Chen narrowed his eyes, "Although Celine's vision of the overall strategic situation is a bit poor, she is indeed good at commanding three-dimensional fleet battles. So far, she has dealt with the Crystal Sects without any mistakes., you are..."

"Really?" Lai An raised his hand and took a bite of his apple, his eyes were clearly written with contempt, "So, Admiral Celine's temper and ability should be well-known?"

This seemingly plain sentence suddenly made Old Marshal Chen's face change.

As if thinking of something, the old man was silent for two seconds, then murmured with crossed fingers: "...Your Highness is wise, your judgment is correct."

Yes, after the surprise attack on Aslan Star City was blocked, how could the Crystal Cult continue to stay in the Yu Region if they were not sure of defeating Celine and her fleet?

They should retreat as soon as possible, so why did they confront the Jinrilun fleet in the hinterland of the empire?

There are two possibilities, either the Crystal Cult doesn't really care about the victory or defeat of this battle on the Imperial Space Station.

Or, they already have the certainty of victory.

Therefore, His Highness Lai'an first blocked the way to rescue soldiers from Yinbeidou to avoid mistakes in the fortress; then, he simply broke away from the unreliable large army and re-observed from the outside.

"Teacher, you know that Jiang went to Crystal Cult's starship, right?"

Lai An said half-coldly, "Before leaving, I asked him how to fight next."

"He said……"

In the starship of the Crystal Cult, Jiang Jianming, Bishop Lauren and Bishop Gaius were still standing on the wide bridge.

At this moment, the mechanical door above them opened.

A figure came down the escalator.

It was a cold-faced man in a black cloak, with the hood draped over his shoulders, exposing his gray temples.

The man walked up to them and bowed deeply to Gaius first: "Your Excellency the Archbishop."

Gaius also brushed the man's forehead, nodded and said, "Yes, destruction."

Jiang Jianming immediately identified this person in his heart, this is the male bishop named "Su".

He kept his face calm, and quickly integrated the current information in his mind.

First of all, the Crystal Cult is a real anti-human cult, and the probability of surrender is almost zero.They take the crystal particle race in the universe as their highest belief, and Archbishop Gaius is the highest authority.

Below are the three bishops codenamed "Death", "Destruction" and "Chaos", respectively the white-haired girl "Margaret" with powerful crystal bones, the gray-haired cloaked man "Su" in front of him, and the former prime minister of the empire."Gerhard Lauren".

"Lava" Space Pirates should have a cooperative relationship with them. With Crystal Cult's armed forces and talent reserves alone, Space Pirates, who have always hated the Empire, should be happy to cooperate.

I just don’t know if the space pirates understand the truth about the “crystal particles”, and if they know that Crystal Cult is essentially a group of lunatics who betrayed the race…

By the way, there is another question.A dark light flickered in Jiang Jianming's eyes.

Where did the people at Crystal Cult get their technology from?

Looking at the various hardware facilities in the starship, some seem to be products of the old empire era before the loss of technology.Crystal Cult has a long history, don't know when it started to be active...

The more think about it, the more feel that the stery clouds are layer upon layer, and each layer is getting heavier and heavier.

Suddenly, there was a shadow in front of him.

Jiang Jianming suddenly came back to his senses!

Su, who was dressed in black and cloaked, was already standing in front of him, his eyes stared at him coldly like a poisonous snake in the jungle.

Jiang Jianming's fingertips went numb, and a bad feeling flashed in his heart.He subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but when his eyes blurred, he heard a soft "噗嗤" in his ears, and his chest felt cold at first, and then burned hot.

Jiang Jianming suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his face turned pale instantly.

A slender, sharp real crystal pierced his back close to his neck, and pierced through his chest shining brightly.

...tick.

The first blood fell on the deck of the starship.

The author has something to say: Your Highness: (numbed and sluggish)...he is finished, he will be locked in the treatment cabin by me for the rest of his life, are you right, dog?

Seth: Woohoo?
