Jiang Jianming doesn't want many people.

30,000 mech soldiers, 2,000 starships, and corresponding supplies such as crystal nest weapons and tranquilizers.

Even Major General Emma was worried: "As long as these troops are really enough? The situation in Crystal Nest is complicated now, and even Chu Jun and Xiao Xie are trapped in it. Your body has not recovered, and you are taking such risks..."

Audrey frowned upon hearing this: "Jiang, why don't I go with you."

Jiang Jianming shook his head: "No, you stay, Black Shark Base needs Diana."

"Major General Emma, please rest assured, I will plan."

Jiang Jianming's eyes were dark. He was really worried about the situation at Crystal Nest, but he knew better that the more urgent the situation, the more calm he should be.

Rescuing a small fleet is by no means an easy task.

In fact, there is a contradiction in this itself: if there are more troops, it will take time to dispatch them; if there are fewer troops, the mobilization will be quick, but it is very likely to be a drop in the bucket—not enough, and the rescue troops will be included instead.

Therefore, the purpose must be clear: this reinforcement does not seek to cause much damage to Crystal Nest, nor does it seek to fish out all the expeditionary forces.

As long as you can deal with the dangerous environment of Crystal Nest, and protect the large army to delay the arrival of the imperial army, that is victory.

That evening, Jiang Jianming put on Yin Beidou's military uniform for the first time in a long time.

The efficiency of Yin Beidou is really not covered.In just half a day, Major General Emma quickly mobilized the soldiers for the expedition and waited for the commander to speak.

Jiang Jianming also knew that he had to show his face officially, at least to explain the coffin board that was kicked open.

He put on his military overcoat, put on his military cap, tightened his gun holster around his waist, and inserted the silver-gray Wings of Venus; finally he habitually grabbed the pair of black leather gloves.

Jiang Jianming looked at the gloves.

Now, no one in the army will discriminate against him because he thinks he is a crystalless race, and the control system of the mecha has also been replaced by mental control.

Whether it's from the perspective of concealing race or protecting his hands, he doesn't seem to need to wear it anymore.

But after thinking about it, the black-haired young man put the gloves on carefully.

Is it out of habit, or to remember.

He stepped into the third fortress under the rosy clouds and breeze of the Omega alien planet.

—and then couldn’t move an inch.

Inside the fortress, the Yin Beidou soldiers who were originally in full gear couldn't hold back when they saw the handsome figure in the evening glow.

"His Royal Highness Jiang!" Someone's voice trembled and his eyes widened.

"It's true, what the major general said is true..."

"His Highness Jiang has really woken up!!"

In fact, Major General Emma had notified in advance, but it turned out to be useless at all.

When Jiang Jianming really stood in front of the army, the scene boiled out of control for a while—the soldiers surrounded him with a clatter, like a huge wave at high tide.

Those who howled, shouted, saluted silently and shed tears; those who came to see him, those who consoled him when he was sick, and those who even tried to stop him and begged him not to go out in person...

Jiang Jianming was angry and funny at first, and said a few words of gentle comfort.Good guy, I can't hold it down at all.

It forced him to show his majesty, and with a cold face, he sternly scolded twice, which was considered to stop the scene.

After the hasty lecture, Jiang Jianming slipped down with lingering fear.

This is the third fortress that he has never stayed in, and it can look like this.

After going to the Crystal Nest, saw the First Ar of the Silver Beidou, and then returned to the Empire later, and saw the Golden Sun Wheel stationed in Aslan... Hiss.

"..."

Jiang Jianming's scalp was numb and he decided not to think about it.

He had just boarded the starship, entered the flagship command room and sat down, when the communication from the Second Fortress came.

"Your Excellency!" It was Lieutenant General Jin Min.In the projection, the middle-aged general's face was very excited, "It's really great to see you recover and wake up."

Jiang Jianming said with a helpless smile: "Lieutenant General Jin, don't come here without any problems. Don't say anything. When I wake up, everyone will cry first when they see me, but I can't stand it."

"Yes." Through the communication, Lieutenant General Jin Min stared at the black-haired young man with peaceful eyes in front of him, and he felt his heart agitated.

One year has passed, time has passed, and after experiencing such a near-death situation, the tenacity and gentleness of the young master have not changed at all...

"I heard that you are going to lead the army again," Jin Min said, "Your officer would take the liberty of disturbing you, but there is actually something about the Lava Space Pirates."

Jiang Jianming: "Lava?"

"Yes, since the lava was destroyed by the Crystal Sect, Marshal Chen sent commissioners several times, and finally decided that the Second Fortress will temporarily take care of the remnants of the Lava Pirates. In fact, they are under house arrest and waiting for opportunities to use waste."

Jin Min said: "It's just that Chilong has never let go of his defenses against the empire, so we can only lock him up like this. Until yesterday, Marshal Chen heard that you were awake and was going to help the Jing Nest, so he signaled his subordinates to take this matter into consideration."Reveal it to Chilong."

Jiang Jianming smiled: "Well, that's how it is. Old Marshal Chen is really bad... Chilong asked to see me, didn't he?"

Jin Min: "As you said."

Jiang Jianming: "Well, take over the projection."

At this moment, the night is dark and the stars are twinkling. The 2,000 starships of the Silver Beidou Third Legion are already ready at the starship port.

Jiang Jianming didn't want to waste time waiting for a Xiaoyu Pirate. After the confirmation, he directly issued an order: "All ships, take off."

Major General Emma stood under the starship port, next to Jiang Sheng.

The night wind blew the corners of their clothes.

"Aren't you worried?"

Emma pinned her strand of blond hair behind her ear, "It happened a year ago, and now I'm going to watch His Highness Jiang lead the army again."

Jiang Sheng scratched his head bitterly: "Hey, how can I not worry, my mouth is about to foam."

"But..." Jiang Sheng raised his face and said melancholy, "Who told me to boast in front of my child and let him do whatever he wants?"

The fleet lifts off!

The reinforcement crystal nest naturally needs to jump, but for the safety of the fortress and the base, it is impossible to open such a large wormhole directly above the alien star.

Rear Admiral Emma and Jiang Sheng saluted solemnly at the same time. Under the watchful eyes of the two, the battleships of the Silver Beidou remained in formation, soaring from the third fortress, they quickly broke through the atmosphere of the Omega Alien Star.

The fleet left the Omega star field and sailed in a straight line with the goal of a stable and open space field.

It was at this time that the communication from the second fortress was reconnected to the screen in front of Jiang Jianming.

The figure that appeared was indeed the Red Dragon.

But he is completely different from the arrogant and dissolute boy in Jiang Jianming's impression, who likes to hug a black cat and laugh.

In the projection, Chilong's face was blue and white, his right eye was covered with a blindfold, and the exposed left eye was also lifeless.

He wore the Empire's electronic handcuffs on his hands, and his fiery red hair had grown a lot, and was piled messily on the back of his neck.Completely looks like a cold living dead.

He looked at Jiang Jianming in silence for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice: "Since we haven't died yet, we should do something like a ghost crawling out of hell, right?"

In the flagship command room, the black-haired officer leaned forward slightly, pointing his fingers slightly into steeples, and calmly said, "Kid, you seem to have misunderstood a little."

"I have never been to hell." Jiang Jianming said, "I died in exchange for our army's victory, not to mention I didn't die in the end, it's a fairy tale."

"And you, I gave you a chance, and even fought for you in front of the emperor."

"It was your wrong judgment that led to the destruction of your space bandit group. As a result, you, the culprit, are still alive. This is a ghost story."

"You!" Chilong's face became extremely terrifying.

Jiang Jianming took out a tube of nebulized inhalation-type tranquilizer from his hand, shook his hand and shook it well, "Now that your space robbers are gone, what can you use to talk to me on an equal footing?"

On the opposite side, Chilong's face flushed red visibly, the teenager's forehead was throbbing with blue veins, and the sound of heavy breathing came along the communication.

He has probably never had such a humble gesture before. After holding back for a long time, he hammered his fist on the communicator and said, "Since you only want to humiliate me, there is nothing more to say between us!"

Jiang Jianming didn't move, but smiled calmly: "Then hang up."

After he said that, he really stopped staring at the communication screen and took his medicine on his own.

"—You!!" The red dragon glared angrily.

"Your Excellency Chilong, you want to avenge the lava and tear Gaius into pieces, don't you?"

Jiang Jianming lifted the end of his eyes, and the voice came through the mask foggyly: "Then set your position right, now you are asking for me."

"I will tell you another sad news for free. Gaius and Crystal Nest have merged into one."

"I have the star map coordinates of the crystal nest, and the fleet has already set sail. Convince me with your value, and I can consider taking you to the crystal nest."

At this moment, a soldier's report came from the military channel:

"Report to the colonel! The fleet has arrived in the target universe."

"There is no abnormality in the radar detection, and the space environment is stable."

"The three-dimensional star map coordinates of the crystal nest have been confirmed."

"Coordinate Lock: (xx,yy,zz)"

Jiang Jianming put down the medicine.He dragged the suspended three-dimensional star map with his left hand wearing a black leather glove, and at the same time turned on the military channel: "Prepare for the leap, open a wormhole!"

In the projection, Chilong's chest fluctuated.He actually wants to please his former opponent, and even "sell" his own value in order to cooperate... This is a great shame for him.

His fist was about to hit the switch of the communicator, but blood flashed before his eyes.

The "boa constrictor" who was still chomping on meat one moment, then fell to the ground in a panic the next moment; the "King Kong" who died tragically under the hands of the Bishop of Destruction in order to protect him;The "Overlord Flower"...

Chilong's eyes were red. To this day, he only lives to avenge his brothers.

Enduring infinite humiliation, he gritted his teeth and said, "Hey!"

After Jiang Jianming finished his orders, he cut off the military channel and gave him a look.

"I have an S-grade crystal bone." Chilong said, "What's more, in the past two years, I have absorbed a lot of true crystal mines according to the method of crystal teaching, and the crystal bone is already close to super S-grade." He said bitterly, "I can,For the time being, cooperate with the Empire..."

"In Crystal Nest, personal combat power is of little use."

Jiang Jianming shook his head and said: "Besides, you have absorbed a lot of real crystal ore, isn't it just a self-propelled ticking time bomb, why should I take you with me at risk?"

Chilong choked for a moment: "What about L-Hephaestus!?"

Jiang Jianming: "The empire has no shortage of high-end mechs."

"Lava's specialized mecha, those blueprints are lost technologies of the old empire, we can give up... a part of it."

Chilong gritted his back teeth, seeing the always indifferent eyes of the black-haired officer on the opposite side, he changed his words angrily: "...or all of them."

Jiang Jianming sighed lightly.

"You let me down a bit."

He stood up under Chilong's frightened eyes, straightened his collar, "Calm down, I'll give you a few minutes to wake up."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Jianming really left Chilong alone. He went out and changed into a crystal-blocking armor, which was uncomfortable to wear.In order to save energy, he dragged it on until the jump wormhole opened.

The soldiers who assisted him in piercing the armor were trembling: "Colonel Jiang, you must not act alone this time!"

Jiang Jianming was very perfunctory: "Mmmmm."

When he came back, Chilong had a sullen face, with messy red hair drooping down.

Seeing Jiang Jianming come back and sit down, he slowly raised his head, his expression calmed down a lot.

"You should be looking for the Bishop of Destruction of the Crystal Sect now, right? And you can't find him, right?"

Chilong said with a hoarse voice, "I know about this bishop and the combat tendency of the Crystal Cult."

"As long as you take me to Crystal Nest, I will not only become a combat power, but also provide you with enough information."

Jiang Jianming looked at him for a few seconds, and finally stretched his brows.

"It's still a bit of a brain."

He dialed Jin Min's communication: "Lieutenant General Jin, let Lava's remnants come to my side."

"Your Highness Jiang, think twice! In case there is a fraud..."

"I know."

A few minutes later, the remnants of Lava leaped over and merged into the Imperial fleet, positioned in front of the flagship to the left.

The once prestigious Space Pirates now only has one hundred and sixty-two people left, and a medium-sized starship can hold it.

Red Dragon put on his cloak and walked into the command room.Followed by Gao Long's father, the old black sheep.

In an instant, the silver Beidou soldiers on both sides all raised their guns, their eyes full of hostility.

Red Dragon snorted coldly, and strode behind Jiang Jianming, "You can rest assured that our starship stays in the center of the formation, next to your starship?"

"I've already put you in the command room, what else is there to dare to do?"

Jiang Jianming didn't even bother to look back, and didn't even block the data on the command screen, "Pull up a seat and sit here."

... Impossible, absolutely impossible, Red Dragon gritted his teeth and thought to himself.No matter how arrogant and domineering he is, his brain is not so stupid that he can't recognize the situation clearly.

With the current lava bargaining chip, there is nothing that His Royal Highness of the Empire can value so much...

This disabled person, what is he thinking?

"It's impossible to let the matter between me and the empire, and that old woman Lin Song go like this!"

Red Dragon sat down with folded arms, and lowered his voice angrily: "We'll settle the matter after the crystal nest is settled!"

"Quiet." Jiang Jianming said in a deep voice, "It's about to jump."

The wormhole in front of him rapidly enlarged until the starship was swallowed by the spiraling and distorted space.

The universe is splendor, flowing on both sides like a tunnel.The vanguard ship was the first to sound the alarm:

"It was detected that the concentration of crystal particles in front is too high!"

"A suspected crystalline creature is approaching!"

The starship breaks through the wormhole, and the infinitely strange Yu Region spreads ahead.

The snow-white crystal nest is already visible to the naked eye, and a large group of crystal-like creatures is rushing towards the fleet, just as Chang Ze said.

And this will also be the first difficulty facing the reinforcements——

If they can't break through quickly, they will lose too much power before they meet with the expeditionary force, and it's hard to say who will rescue anyone at that time.
