"What are you muttering about?"
Andos stood up, threw the bottle aside, and picked up a new bottle. He unscrewed the cap and poured it into his mouth, "I have to say, this drink you invented is really good."
At this time, Alan turned around and looked at him, saying, "I think I know who stopped you."
"Who is it?"
"The former head of Bescot, Horn. I thought he died in the explosion of the Iron Prison, but now it doesn't seem like that." Alan sighed and said, "The saber Qi in Horn's hand is exactly the same as you described. After the Iron Prison explosion, Horn's corpse was not found at the site of the explosion. I have always had reservations about his death, but now it seems that he is not dead. "
"What's the use of saying all this?" Alan narrowed his eyes.
Alan narrowed his eyes and said, "How could it be useless? If Horn didn't die in the Iron Prison, then where did he go and what did he do during this time? He won't be the kind of person who will do unnecessary work. There must be a reason why he disappeared under our noses in the name of a fake death. Maybe it's to investigate us. So, we can't let him live, at least not in Babylon. "
"Andos, you have to go to Castle Ugarte again!"
Andos said indifferently, "I don't think it's necessary."
"Why?" Alan frowned.
"Because, the time has come" Andos raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the warehouse.
Alan followed him, but he couldn't see anything unusual.
The night was dark on Babylon, but it was not dark in space. Apart from the starlight, the flickering lights of the Rainbow Bridge Space Station on the moon were enough to illuminate a corner of this icy space. Farther away, one could faintly see a silver belt. Of course, there would be no silver belt in space, so in fact, it was Earth's space defense line. Five space base stations served as nodes, and between the nodes were self-disciplined weapons, the unmanned ship "Heimdall", known as the Space Artillery Platform. Its name originated from the Heavenly Realm Guardian in Norse mythology, and it was appropriate for its function.
The circular line of defense formed by space base stations and autonomous weapons was known as the "Ring of Dawn". This line of defense had been built since the Battle of Dawn and was regarded as the hope of the new era.
At this moment, not far from the Moon, in one of the space base stations in the Ring of Dawn, the station master pulled Wies to sleep. He was woken up by a series of emergency calls. La Wies had served in the space station for more than ten years. This middle-aged man had a head full of curly hair like steel wire. Coupled with his strong facial features, this made him look like a person who would not give in easily. In fact, La Wies was famous for his bad temper in the space station, and he had offended many people because of it. Otherwise, with his seniority, he would have been transferred elsewhere long ago, but he was still the chief of a space station.
However, La Wies didn't mind. He liked his job and was proud of it.
The space station master crawled out of the bed and took the communicator. He said in a deep voice, "You better have a good reason to do this. Otherwise, I will let you kids know how terrible it is to wake up a person who has just fallen asleep."
"I'm sorry to wake you up, station master. But I still have to ask you to come to the command center. Just a minute ago, we found an abnormality in the spatial readings! "On the other side of the communicator was La Wies' adjutant, Captain Mord, a strict and old-fashioned man.
Hearing Mord's voice, La Wies realized that the situation was not simple. He put down the communicator, put on his uniform, and quickly left his room. A moment later, he walked through the door of the command center. The people in the command center were shuttling back and forth, and all kinds of readings were shouted out by the staff. Such a lively scene was completely different from before. La Wies quickly walked up the bridge platform and saw Mo De from afar. He was surrounded by a few people and seemed to be discussing something.
Seeing La Wies appear, Mo De squeezed out of the crowd and handed a tablet to the station master. La Wies took it and looked at it. On the screen was the data and graph of the spatial readings. Looking at the rising curve, La Wies's expression turned very bad.
Several base stations in the Ring of Dawn would monitor the Origin Energy reaction in outer space 24 hours a day. Now that the spatial readings had far exceeded the level value, this meant that a spatial passageway was taking shape and was about to open. This meant that Earth was likely to be attacked by external forces. La Wies put down the tablet and hurriedly said, "Contact Rainbow Bridge and see if they have received any applications from the Alliance members."
"I've already contacted them. I haven't received any applications from the Alliance members recently." Mo De said with a solemn expression.
"Damn it, could it be an enemy? But how is that possible? The interstellar defense line didn't give any warnings. "
"So what should we do now?" Captain Maud asked.
La Wies leaned on the railing of the bridge and shouted, "Activate the first level of alert. All autonomous weapons within my jurisdiction are on standby. Also, Maud, contact Babylon immediately. This matter needs to be reported to the president immediately. "
"Yes, sir."
On the Ring of Dawn defense line, unmanned ships on both sides of the space base station began to enter a standby state. At this moment, at a location very far away from this line of defense, space suddenly distorted like a curtain. At the same time, a crazy alarm sounded in the command center of the space station. The spatial reading had reached a critical value, and a passageway was about to open! La Wies looked at the big screen with an ugly expression. At this moment, the command center quieted down, and everyone held their breaths and waited.
On the screen, a thin ray of light appeared in the distorted space. Then, with this ray of light as the center, space suddenly opened to both sides, revealing a colorful spatial passageway. This passageway was more than ten kilometers in diameter. In La Wies' impression, this scale of spatial passageway was completely prepared for the passage of the fleet.
Finally, a battleship -class starship jumped out of the passageway. The starship's lines were smooth, and its hull was clearly segmented. After it jumped out of the spatial passageway, wings extended from both sides of the segmented hull. Then, it swayed up and down, moving in space like a big fish.
"Biological mimicry technology? This is the starship of the Nelms, prepare for battle! Prepare for battle! "La Wies roared.
On the screen, more and more starships entered space from the spatial passageway. The starships that simulated fish swimming in the water were battleships in the Nelm fleet, responsible for providing heavy firepower support. Behind the battleship, another mothership that looked like a giant devil fish began to slide out of the passageway. As soon as these flat motherships left the passageway, they opened all the hatches and threw in countless small warships.
Outside space, the warships quickly formed up. Groups of warships were distributed around the battleship, forming an offensive formation. As starships continued to pour out of the spatial passageway, another passageway opened, followed by a third and a fourth! A total of four large passageways opened, and the Nelm fleet quickly entered space, forming a huge fleet. From the screen of the space station, the outer space of the Ring of Dawn was filled with enemy ships. There were so many of them that it was hopeless!
"Damn it, how could this be?" La Wies turned his head and shouted, "Can't you contact the President yet?"
Mo De replied from the other side, "No, I can't contact Mr. President in Babylon."
"What about Marshal Capullo?"
"Marshal doesn't seem to have returned from the interstellar defense line."
"Damn it!" La Wies punched the railing heavily. "These Nelms really know how to pick their time."
At this moment, Maud shouted, "Stationmaster, Admiral Silfa is on the ninth line!"
La Wies's spirits were lifted. "Hurry up and take it."
A window popped up on the big screen. In the window was Silfa's figure. The young Federation general asked calmly, "What's going on, Stationmaster Wies? I heard you're contacting Mr. President and Marshal Capullo?"
"Great to see you, General." La Wies shouted, "Something bad has happened. The Nelm fleet is now in space outside the Ring of Dawn. This is an attack, an invasion! "
In the window, Silfa's expression also changed, "How many enemies are there?"
"Many!" La Wies looked at the enemy ships that were as numerous as mosquitoes and said bitterly, "The warships alone are estimated to be in the millions."
"What?" Silfa cried out, "That's almost the entire military strength of the Nelms. They're attacking with all their might. Why didn't the interstellar defense line send any alarms?"
"I'm not sure about that. General, what should we do now? "
Silfa shouted, "You must hold the line. I can't contact Mr. President right now, and Marshal Capullo is not on Earth. I can only send my troops to support you first. I will ask the Senate to activate the emergency agreement as soon as possible! "
After saying that, the window closed. Presumably, Silfa had gone to contact the Senate and military officials. La Wies looked at the enemy fleet on the screen and smiled bitterly. Of course, he would do his best to defend the defensive line, but seeing so many enemy ships, he didn't even have the slightest confidence.
"Contact the other base stations and activate the highest alert state of the Ring of Dawn!" La Wies gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we die, we have to drag these guys here!"
Babylon, Black Street.
In the warehouse, Alan lowered his head and said, "What did you mean by that just now?"
Andos chuckled dryly and pointed at the ceiling. "While we're talking, if nothing unexpected happens, His Majesty's army should have arrived at your Ring of Dawn defensive line. In other words, it's time to attack. "
"What?" Alan said angrily, "Why didn't you inform me? Besides, this doesn't match the time Cajasso said."
