Chapter 1465 War and Chaos
After sailing for about half a day, the heavily loaded merchant ship encountered the fourth forest.
Although he still avoided it from a distance, even the usually taciturn Bentley couldn't help but speak out.
"Boss, we have to be prepared for the fall of Baozhi Star...if it doesn't work, we'll just leave."
To him, the lives and deaths of the people of the Empire don’t matter, let alone the people of the Alliance.
"Haha," Qu Jianlei laughed dryly and sighed, "We can run now, but we're afraid that one day we'll have nowhere to hide!"
Harming your neighbors can only be considered a tactic, while the loss of one's teeth and lips is the strategic approach!
Jing Yuexin expressed her support, "It's rare that this is a stalemate area. It's easier to collect intelligence than a place that has completely fallen."
So the heavily loaded merchant ship continued to move forward, and one after another they encountered some forests, and everyone continued to choose to bypass them.
When the starship was 50 or 60 million kilometers away from Baozhi Star, it could no longer move forward, as the front was filled with huge trees.
Qu Jianlei looked at the ruler and asked, "Do you have the confidence to make the trip?"
Xi Zhao replied nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? You don't think their detection capabilities are better than modern technology, do you?"
Like Yi He, it does not have a high opinion of the attack power of modern weapons, but believes that early warning and high-speed driving have their merits.
The perception ability of the sea of trees is far inferior to that of the sunset on the mysterious side, and it is also very poor on the technological side. There is really nothing to worry about.
Then the ruler flew into space and disappeared in an instant.
The heavy-loaded starship had been discovered by several patches of trees, one of which separated a part of the trees and slowly approached.
The aliens who were not angered were still methodical in their actions. At least not all of them were mobilized, and they knew they could not outrun the enemy.
Faced with this situation, the heavily loaded starship evacuated quickly.
In the following time, the starship circled Baozhi Star from a distance and encountered seven or eight starships on the way.
These starships are also reluctant to leave. I don’t know whether they want to rescue or hunt.
Some starships even greeted heavy merchant ships and inquired about the current situation of Baozhi Star.
Obviously, these people are extremely daring and are also the strongest group in the alliance's battle valley.
The fourth boss replied simply, saying that we had just arrived and rejected the request to form an individual team.
But a day later, they encountered a team formation request again - well, this time it should be called a call-up.
The starship encountered a remnant of the military fleet.
One regimental-level ship, two battalion-level ships, seven or eight company-level ships, and more than ten armed merchant ships.
This fleet was being chased by a vast sea of forest, and they were being recruited from such a long distance away.
The fourth leader was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should respond - "If I accept the call, I can get information about the alien race more easily."
"I don't accept it!" Qu Jianlei made the decision without hesitation.
"Don't test human nature at a time like this. Whether it's using us as a scapegoat or commanding on board... it's disgusting."
They had been drafted into the Federation before, but at that time they were at least driving regimental-level ships of the Federation military.
In this situation where the front line is suddenly called up or there are pursuers behind, it is difficult to judge what the military will do.
Qu Jianlei picked up the intercom and said, "We are here to save our families and refuse to be drafted."
While answering, the starship changed direction and fled, not wanting to be affected by the fleet in front.
But the warship on the other side refused to give up, "If you want to save people, you must rely on our help."
"The situation is now very dire. We must concentrate our efforts to force our way in and land!"
"We believe in ourselves more," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "There are so many wandering starships, why bother us?"
He just didn't believe that those scattered starships had never received any call-up orders, so they were still doing their own thing.
If you think about it more, this warship is obviously an organized unit. Now that it has been beaten like this, is it trustworthy?
As for refusing to be recruited, that’s not a big deal. This is the front line where the fighting is raging!
Whether it is the Empire, the Federation or the Alliance, the military has the right to requisition merchant ships or personnel in special times, but that is in the rear.
The nature of conscription is "providing necessary assistance to the military for a fee, which is the responsibility and obligation of every citizen."
The requisitioned starships can participate in operations such as transportation and fire support, but front-line combat is not included.
At a time like this, the military can't even gather its own soldiers, yet it's still requisitioning civilian starships. Isn't this nonsense?
Seeing their firm attitude, the fleet decided not to force them. After all, there were still many merchant ships in their own fleet.
We can't let these merchant ships feel disheartened.
So they settled for the next best thing, "Can you help transport a group of wounded to the rear?"
This request is reasonable. If the heavy-loaded starship is determined to escape, there is a high probability that it can escape.
But Qu Jianlei still refused, "We still have to save people. Not only will we have to stay for some time, but we may also lose our lives."
The two sides finally staggered.
Not long after, they encountered two company-class ships again, and they even wanted to requisition starships.
After they clearly expressed their refusal, a company-class ship actually opened fire directly at the starship.
Although it was a warning shot and the firepower was not very strong, it did hit the protective shield.
"There are indeed heinous crimes in places where few people go," Qu Jianlei smiled and shook his head, "Check the surrounding detectors."
It took only four or five seconds for Xiao Hu to respond, "It's confirmed that there are no detectors nearby."
"Kill them all," Qu Jianlei said calmly, "Don't leave any alive!"
The two company-class ships were already badly damaged, and when they discovered that the guns of the heavy merchant ship began to charge, they were shocked for a moment.
The company-class ship that had just opened fire and threatened was still tough, "You dare to attack the alliance warship?"
The other company-class ship was much more tactful, "Friend, don't get me wrong, the friendly ship has a bad temper, I apologize on his behalf."
"The main reason is that too many comrades have died, and everyone's temper is not very good. Please understand."
His answer was the artillery attack from the heavy-duty starship.
With just two rounds of salvos, the two company-class ships were destroyed.
The scattered escape pods and space mechas were easily killed by the small-caliber weapons on the heavily armed merchant ships.
Under the current circumstances, if the survivors are not shot again, there is a 99% chance that they will become food for the locusts.
But Qu Jianlei has always been very careful in his work and is unwilling to take any risks.
After dealing with these two warships, everyone thought that they could just wait for the sunset to return.
Who would have thought that half a day later, they encountered a warship for the third time!
This is a relatively rare assault ship with thick armor and fast speed, but slightly weaker firepower.
The assault ship was also badly damaged. After discovering the heavily loaded merchant ship, it directly shouted and demanded that its own combat personnel be brought on board.
However, the soldiers on the ship made it clear that the deputy commander of the Baozhi Military Region was still on the ground, and they needed to find combat troops to rescue him!
They asked the other side to support them and pass the news on as soon as possible.
However, Xiaohu scanned and found that the damage to the assault ship was not serious, so Qu Jianlei asked the question straightforwardly.
Although the other party's request was not excessive, it was normal for anything to happen in those turbulent times.
Bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like rakes. This is not only a phenomenon in ancient times, but also the same in the Age of Interstellar Navigation. This is human nature.
The company-class ship just now opened fire directly. Is that a normal recruitment process?
The soldiers on the assault ship probably realized that the other side was wary of them.
So they readily admitted that the damage to the battleship was not serious, the problem was... there were not many energy blocks left!
The assault ship's thick armor and high speed mean that it is a big energy consumer, and its internal space is very tight.
"Then I'll leave some energy blocks for you!" Qu Jianlei responded.
Then the heavy-loaded starship and assault ship maintained a direction, dropping some boxes loaded with energy blocks along the way.
While the boxes were being scattered, the heavy-loaded starship was still on high alert, ready to turn hostile at any time.
However, the assault ship did not care about these and picked up boxes along the way.
Because there were a lot of energy blocks, two boxes were finally hung on the robotic arm.
Then the assault ship suddenly accelerated and left, not forgetting to say "thank you" before leaving!
For the current front line, energy blocks are one of the most precious resources, and the less they are used, the less they are.
Anyway, this experience was quite satisfactory.
But after another day of strolling, Xizhao still hadn't teleported back, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Even Yi He couldn't help but mutter, "This guy... won't meet with an accident, right?"
Half a day later, the teleportation array flashed and the ruler finally appeared.
"Oh my god, I was discovered three times this time. It's really crowded!"
In its words, it was not because its hiding skills were poor, but because there were too many aliens.
It was surrounded by the forest three times, and each time it escaped by relying on its speed without any fight.
"But fortunately, I finally built the teleportation array. I spent so much spiritual energy, but it needs to be reimbursed!"
"That's no problem," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, and then asked, "What's the situation on the planet now?"
"It's not optimistic," Xizhao replied, "It's not far from being completely destroyed."
"Then go ahead," Qu Jianlei walked towards the teleportation array, "Fourth Master, you should stay outside to provide support."
The fourth master shook his head and said, "Let the two A-level ones stay. My armor-piercing ability is not bad."
Claire was eager to try, "Maybe my dark attribute can be useful!"
Tianyin also nodded, "My light attribute may be able to restrain the alien race... How can I be content without giving it a try?"
The Fourth Command, who was eager to join the battle, had to stay behind to guard the starship again.
Baozhi Star's teleportation array is still set up in the belly of the mountain.
After the transmission, everyone walked out of the mountain and took a look, and they were immediately stunned.
At first glance, there was nothing but gravel and sand on the ground, not even a trace of green.
This is Bao Zhixing? Everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
This place is famous for its richness and beauty. The forest coverage rate exceeds 70%, and there are many kinds of precious woods and delicious and expensive mushrooms.
It is precisely because of this that it is called Baozhi Star!
