Chapter 1 After Hearing This News

After hearing this news, Fang Senyan gasped. As the saying goes, no one is perfect. Fang Senyan knew that he wasn't very good at driving, let alone aerial combat. What's more, this Hornet flyer was just an escape pod and wasn't equipped with weapons! This undoubtedly made him feel the pressure increasing!

But he heard General Monggo say in a hoarse voice:

"We were previously using all our energy to suppress the Yautja's communications. Now it seems to be very effective. Furthermore, the spaceship you are piloting is a specially made Defender-class ship, which has very strong stealth capabilities. In addition, the ones attacking you are unmanned combat ships. If these three factors are combined, then it won't be easy for the combat ships to find you!"

"So, as long as you are careful and hide, it shouldn't be too difficult to return successfully! Remember, you can survive as long as you escape the asteroid belt, because another 'Sydney' forward base has also arrived here. The Yautja's bastards definitely won't dare to chase you out. Otherwise, they'll be blasted into space fireworks by the fortress cannons!"

Although the Yautja's technology is more advanced than humanity's, the gap is only within the same era. Under normal circumstances, a space warship is difficult to compete with a fortress that has abandoned its mobility, especially with two terrifying fortresses side by side. The terrifying concentrated fire of the fortress cannons can even destroy planets. This is like letting a battleship fight against a coastal fortress on the shore. As long as they are at the same level, the battleship will always suffer a great loss.

After hearing General Monggo's intelligence, Fang Senyan could only bite the bullet and fight for his life. He resolutely opened the engine to the maximum. The contractor's powerful body meant that even though there were no related adjustment facilities inside the spaceship, it only made him feel a little dizzy and his ears ring. But if it were an ordinary interstellar resident at this time, they would have bulging eyes and vomit their internal organs out of their mouth.

The asteroids in front of him were dense and endless, completely obscuring the route ahead. This feeling of being surrounded by asteroids in all directions was indeed very uncomfortable, as if even the starlight shining in was completely blocked. What's more, some of the asteroids were relatively stationary, while others were moving at high speed, which was very chaotic. If you slow down, the asteroids will actively collide with you, and if you are fast, then the stationary asteroids will become huge obstacles.

No wonder it was difficult to invade the Upsilon planet even with the strength of the entire war zone.

Suddenly, Fang Senyan received another communication from General Monggo:

"Be careful, we have just detected an electromagnetic wave anomaly. It should be that the enemy has located your approximate location and made corresponding arrangements, but we don't know the specific arrangements yet."

Fang Senyan looked at the screen outside the porthole in front of him and said with a wry smile:

"I think I know... you once said that the Upsilon asteroid belt was originally arranged by the Yautja, right? These bastards are actually, actually starting to actively push the asteroid belt to accelerate! Yes, this is the asteroid tide that Artificial Human No. 1 read from the Yautja's data!"

To be honest, the Yautja's trick was extremely vicious. If the asteroid belt was originally like a slowly rotating, viscous porridge, now the Yautja used a shit-stirring stick to stir it hard, then it would completely become a high-speed rotating vortex! If you are not careful, the asteroids flying inside can directly destroy the Hornet flyer, not to mention that there are pursuers behind!

The material of the Yautja's own spaceship is far stronger than that of human spaceships. Not to mention that the size of the two sides is completely different, so this level of asteroid tide cannot help their spaceship at all.

As for the unmanned combat ships that were dispatched, since it was made clear that they were unmanned, then they were obviously cannon fodder. It would be a victory if they could die together with Fang Senyan.

At this time, facing the suddenly accelerating asteroid tide, Fang Senyan could only reduce his speed and fly slowly with all his attention. Even so, even with the nerve reflexes of a contractor, it was still a dangerous situation.

Just at this moment, the radar on the spaceship showed that there were two more red dots behind him. It seemed obvious that they were the two unmanned combat ship pursuers.

This was the first time Fang Senyan had encountered such a dangerous situation, but he quickly realized that the two combat ships were actually heading this way for a distance, and then they were heading in the opposite direction, just bumping around like headless flies!

Seeing this scene, Fang Senyan immediately understood that the yan coating on the surface of his spaceship was working. The base's radar had been interfering with all its strength. The Yautja's detection technology could only exert up to 60% of its power. Coupled with the powerful function of Fang Senyan's yan coating, they could naturally only detect the approximate location and could not specifically locate it.

With this thought, Fang Senyan could only restrain his mind. He also understood very well in his heart that whether the enemy could find him was the enemy's business, and there was no way for him to be anxious. The only thing he could do was to do his best in his own field. When the distracting thoughts in his heart disappeared, he concentrated on controlling the spaceship, and sure enough, the flying speed was much faster.

However, the Yautja's spaceship was not bumping around like headless flies as Fang Senyan had imagined. After they found that they could only roughly locate it, they adopted the hunting method to find Fang Senyan, and let the two combat ships search in an eight-shaped movement trajectory. This could maximize the discovery of the prey's trail.

As Fang Senyan gradually moved forward, he also reached the edge of the asteroid belt. The asteroids here also appeared sparse. Although Fang Senyan's speed increased, naturally, the number of targets to be detected and screened also decreased. Soon,

The two unmanned combat ships were approaching fiercely.

But this time, Fang Senyan didn't worry about anything anymore. After he flew past a giant asteroid, he suddenly saw the scene in front of him, and the nerves that were already tense immediately relaxed.

Because in the asteroid belt in front, there was a blank area. In this area, there were densely packed human combat ships! The two Yautja unmanned fighters had just emerged when they were blasted into space dust by concentrated fire! Exploding with a bang!

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of combat ships all flew over to escort Fang Senyan's Hornet flyer in the center and slowly flew out. Fang Senyan noticed that even though it was now on the periphery of the asteroid belt, there were still more than a dozen combat ships that were destroyed and turned into cosmic dust during the process of flying out. From this, it could be seen that they must have paid an extremely heavy price to fly in and open up such a battlefield!

After Fang Senyan successfully landed at the Little Eagle forward base, he immediately received a very high standard of hospitality, a military band, a red carpet, and the welcoming of all the senior base officials. The treatment he received was completely different from what he had received before.

After he landed, he first went to open the rear cabin, released the Roni, who had been tortured to the point of being half-dead, and then asked the professionals in the base to repair Artificial Human No. 1.

Then, Fang Senyan had just taken a few steps when he saw the Yautja's subship parked in the base hangar below. He was slightly stunned and immediately said to the accompanying staff:

"Who came back on this ship? Aldaris?"

The one accompanying Fang Senyan was Archer, who had become a captain. He immediately nodded and said:

"Yes, sir, your trip was really dangerous. Twelve people went there, and only three returned. I guess no one else will escape."

Fang Senyan nodded and smiled:

"Sure enough, it was Aldaris, that bastard, who escaped. Where is he?"

Archer said with an embarrassed smile:

"Speaking of the people who were able to come back alive, Colonel, you are the healthiest, followed by Mr. Roni, and Mr. Aldaris suffered the most serious injuries."

"Of course I'm the healthiest. It's only natural that this idiot Roni was seriously injured... What!!! Aldaris's injuries are the most serious?" Fang Senyan said in surprise. "Can it be more serious than Roni, this half-human stick?"

"Mr. Roni's limbs are incomplete. This kind of injury only needs to return to Base Alps VII, and then limb cloning and restoration can be performed, although this operation is a bit expensive. But Mr. Aldaris suffered a severe head injury, severely injured by the aftermath of high-energy laser. It is initially estimated that only two-thirds of the brain remains. It is quite good that he can survive."

Fang Senyan shrugged his shoulders:

"It's good to be able to survive. Space is omnipotent and can be directly repaired."

At this time, a major and two guards came forward again, saluted Fang Senyan, and said:

"Colonel, the general invites you to meet and talk."

Fang Senyan was stunned and said:

"Colonel?"

The major said respectfully:

"Yes, you have successfully completed the mission and have been officially awarded the rank of colonel."

Fang Senyan hurriedly went to check his attributes and found that his rank had indeed become colonel. When he saw the merit points, Fang Senyan immediately felt that the distance between himself and a major general was simply n light-years away!! He could only sigh and was very speechless.

But to be honest, promotion from a field officer to a general is a huge promotion. Under normal circumstances, in peacetime, unless you are particularly famous, plus the three major killers of opportunity, money, and connections, basically ordinary officers will reach the rank of colonel.

So, to be promoted to a regular major general, it is estimated that completing the official mission given by the Empire is a must. In fact, the merits Fang Senyan made this time were enough to be promoted from colonel to major general, but... who told him that he was only a lieutenant colonel before?
