Chapter 571: Battle Group Assembles
The central optical computer of the Guardian quickly calculated the position of each starship. The fleets of the Third Quadrant landed nearby, temporarily took over the ships of the Galactic Expeditionary Force, and quickly headed for the designated coordinates.
The survivors, still in shock, looked up and saw that the starships that had been fighting each other just now had all turned their bows around and were rushing towards the brilliant nebula in the sky like a tide.
On the Karman Line, starships were put into position one after another, and the light blue protective film unfolded in a winding manner, until it connected into pieces, and finally formed a giant translucent blue net above the earth.
The flames were extinguished, the boiling water calmed down again, the skin no longer burned unbearably, the rapid breathing gradually slowed down, the pain of dying finally disappeared from the human body, the alarm that resounded throughout the base came to an abrupt end, and the crowd burst into tears and ecstasy of having survived the disaster.
On the Guardian's main island, Ai Wanxin and his sentinels were not having it easy.
"Commander, in the battle just now, the energy loss of the Third Quadrant Fleet was far greater than that of the Galactic Expeditionary Force. According to the current energy consumption rate, they may not be able to support the Earth to successfully pass through the space-time channel." Jon said with a worried look on his face, holding a handheld light screen.
"If we withdraw them from the defense nodes before the energy is exhausted, the ships of the Galactic Expeditionary Force alone will not be able to maintain such a large defense network."
Ai Wanxin stood in front of the central control console, staring at the holographic three-dimensional image of the earth at this moment.
Even though it had just experienced a catastrophe, with smoke billowing on the land and the earth devastated, this blue planet that gave birth to mankind and countless lives still shines with unparalleled brilliance.
No one can help but love this planet, it is the miracle of the universe.
"If there are not enough ships, aren't the rebels in Eclipse Fortress?" Jing asked with his arms folded.
Pei Junlin said: "They still have to contain the first and second quadrant fleets, they can't be mobilized at will, right?"
Ai Wanxin raised her eyelashes and said, "Then we will move together to pick up Ludwig."
Almost at the moment the call was made, Ludwig picked up the phone. It was obvious that he had been waiting in front of the communicator, waiting for their news.
He quickly scanned Ai Wanxin's body twice, making sure she was not injured. His tense shoulders relaxed quietly, and he saluted and said, "Commander-in-chief."
He was probably holding it in so much that he couldn't help but speak first: "Commander, the Void Star Vortex has expanded nearly ten thousand times in an instant. Are you all right over there?"
Ai Wanxin comforted him, "It's okay for now. It's just that the Earth has started to travel through time and space."
"By the way, where are the first and second quadrant fleets now?"
Ludwig's handsome eyebrows knitted slightly. "According to the front-line intelligence, although the binary fleet did not take the Corona ring, it activated its shipboard jump engine. In about half an hour, it will collide head-on with our alert fleet deployed outside the Eclipse Fortress."
"But don't worry, I will never let a ship cross the defense line and enter the Void Star Vortex."
Ai Wanxin shook her head: "Let them come over."
Ludwig was startled: "Let them go?"
"The Twin Star Fleet is the main fleet of the current Federation Navy. The number of ships is several times that of the Third Quadrant Fleet. It may be dangerous to let them go..."
Ai Wanxin curled her eyes: "There are many of them, and there are not many of us either. You guys should come too and lead them here, ah."
Ludwig was confused for only a moment, then he realized that Ai Wanxin must have made new arrangements. He nodded solemnly: "Yes, Commander."
Ai Wanxin then asked another strange question.
"What is the live broadcast website with the widest coverage in the Interstellar Federation and non-Federation regions?"
"...?"
"It's Xingdou, Commander. Its main body is registered in an independent star system, and its server nodes are spread across the Federation and non-Federation star regions. It is currently the video social platform with the largest traffic."
Ai Wanxin's eyes lit up and asked, "Do you have an account? Rebels, do you have an account?"
"Yes, yes."
Ai Wanxin clapped her hands and said happily, "Forward it to me."
Therefore, when the video was cut off, Ludwig urgently convened a meeting of the resistance generals. After deploying the tactics of luring the enemy, he ordered all commanders to immediately log in to their respective social media accounts, follow a small account with a garbled name and no avatar, and like, collect and repost a newly uploaded video on the small account.
Not only did Ludwig arrange for the resistance's strategic communication and information operations department to push the video across all platforms in the galaxy and manage public opinion, he also paid for the maximum promotion at his own expense.
That day, countless Star Domain Network users inexplicably saw a video titled "The Earth Is Falling" on the homepages of various platforms.
At first, they thought it was a trailer for a movie that was about to be released. After all, war movies with the Earth as the background of the story are always invincible at the box office. Even though movies with similar themes are released every year, it can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for watching movies.
Then they noticed something subtly wrong.
For example, the special effects of this movie are extremely realistic, and the scorching breath of the artillery fire seems to burst through the screen and lick their faces.
For example, the crew seemed to be particularly willing to spend money, with monsters and warships everywhere, and a giant snake that almost couldn't fit into the camera. No movie has ever shot a war scene so grand... and chaotic.
The most strange thing was that a black and gold mecha with red runes all over it appeared in the video. No one did not recognize this mecha. It was the ever-victorious armor of the former commander-in-chief of the Galactic Expeditionary Force.
Although when the commander was in power, there was no prohibition on artistic creation based on her, but the commander is gone now, and she defected...
Is this something that can be filmed, or is this something that is the work of a separate galaxy?
But such works obviously cannot be shown in the Federation star region, and the special effects seem to be very expensive. Can they make their money back?
The confused onlookers opened the comment and forwarding area and found a row of accounts certified as generals of the Galactic Expeditionary Force lined up under the video.
"The 16th Fleet of the Galactic Expeditionary Force has completed its combat readiness assembly. Fleet Commander Vice Admiral Weidling will lead his battle group to the war zone immediately."
"The 28th Fleet of the Galactic Expeditionary Force has completed its combat readiness assembly. Fleet commander Major General Hermann will lead his battle group to the war zone immediately."
"... Fifty-seventh Fleet... Commodore Hohenheim..."
"...Forty-first Fleet...Commodore Wolfe..."
"...Thirty-third Fleet...Rear Admiral Kona...
......
The jaws dropped in the comments section.
The onlookers couldn't help but have deep doubts about themselves.
No, Old Swan, is there something wrong with the way I watch videos today? How come I saw the battle group gathering on Xingdou Video?
Or is it the original Galactic Expeditionary Force reunion?
