Chapter 1301 Chapter 1374 Dense Fire Network - 1375 The Real Intention (Two Chapters in One)

Chapter 1374 Dense Fire Network

The lieutenant general's explanation cleared him of the suspicion of attacking his own prisoners of war.

But the major general hesitated and sighed helplessly - this explanation was a bit forced after all.

The lieutenant general glanced at him and said calmly, "The Operations Department has specifically emphasized that the opponent's strength is amazing!"

"Although I'm not sure how strong they are... the Operations Department didn't say."

"But for such a powerful team, allowing them to escape safely would be irresponsible to the Federation."

"To put it mildly, if the Operations Department investigates, I may be suspected of dereliction of duty or even delaying military operations."

"To put it in a broader sense, once they return to the other side, the Federation will face a huge threat!"

"Don't forget that the other side has our regimental-level ships, which involves the leakage of federal technology."

He said so much and indeed found enough reasons for himself.

But then again, if he thought his actions were natural and reasonable, why would he explain so much?

After all, it does take a certain amount of courage to fire at one's own soldiers.

At the same time, Qu Jianlei and others suddenly discovered that there were many colorful lights in front of them.

"Artillery blockade," the fourth master made the first judgment and understood the other party's intention, "You are not too stupid!"

In fact, when everyone took these more than 400 officers and soldiers as hostages, they were not sure about the federal government's response.

The social atmosphere in the Federation is not as iron-blooded as that in the Empire, but that is due to the system, and the military may not be the same.

Qu Jianlei believes that different armies have different characteristics, and the Fourth Master and Xiao Moshan both agree with this.

So they really didn't expect that the federal military would be wary of the hostages.

However, after communicating with the opposing military throughout the process, I feel that the effect is quite good, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

Now there is artillery fire blocking the way ahead, and Qu Jianlei is really not surprised. This is already very gentle, okay?

Generally speaking, intercepted artillery fire poses a greater threat.

Things like barrage are like a big net or even a city wall, blocking the way.

As for the pursuing artillery fire from behind, the escapees can choose the direction of maneuver, return fire while increasing speed, which poses less threat.

But Qu Jianlei had discussed this with Xiao Hu before, and now he wanted to confirm it again, "Is there any problem?"

The big-headed butterfly turned around twice and said, "Don't worry. Without this little confidence, what's the point of pursuing an independent personality?"

Qu Jianlei turned his head to look at Hill and shook his head slightly, "Old Xiao, take him back... The Federation has given up on them."

Hill had been in a daze, but his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he answered very straightforwardly, "No, the Federation will not abandon anyone."

"They just did what they were supposed to do to stop you from returning!"

Another sentimental guy. Qu Jianlei shook his head and was too lazy to say more to this guy.

"Take it down, we're going to start the sprint."

During the sprint, Xiao Hu's abilities would be exposed, and he didn't want this guy from the Federation to know.

Xiao Moshan also knew what was about to happen, and the artillery blockade was not something that was set in stone.

Once the fire wall is constructed, it will slowly advance towards your side, which is called "slow advance of barrage".

The wall of fire was approaching step by step, forcing the starship to retreat little by little.

So the most important thing right now is time!

He grabbed Hill's collar and dragged him out of the room, "Be quiet, you want to die, but we still have to go back to the empire."

Although the two of them have a good relationship, they are just like-minded. Since they are in different camps, he can still distinguish between public and private affairs.

Hill did not struggle. His cultivation was restricted and he could not defeat the opponent at all, but he was shouting.

"Boss, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Talk to me?" Qu Jianlei smiled indifferently, "Who are you to be qualified to talk to me?"

"I know a lot of top-secret federal intelligence," Hill shouted outside the room.

"Behave yourself," Xiao Moshan raised his hand and flicked the other person's forehead.

"Don't I know what kind of character you are? Don't play tricks."

"I'm not playing tricks," Hill continued to shout, "I can still tell you something that can help humans resist the star beasts!"

"Huh?" Qu Jianlei let out a light exclamation. According to his plan, after returning to the empire, these prisoners would be handed over to the military.

So it would be nice to get some information from the other party before the handover.

"Old Xiao, take him away first. I'll go over and take a look later."

He also had to stay in the control room and break through the wall of fire with Xiaohu.

In order to destroy the fire wall, in addition to holding up the protective shield and trying to avoid the artillery fire, you also need to destroy the fire launch point.

Firepower like these that can implement blockades at the front are basically forward-positioned firepower points.

Because it is very close to the passage, the firing points and firing platforms are unmanned.

This measure is not surprising, just like when there is a war on the blue planet, there will definitely be minefields on the front lines of the two opposing sides.

This is a means to prevent the enemy from advancing, but space mines are not very effective, so a large number of unmanned firepower points are set up.

The key is that these firing points are all remotely controlled, and some also have their own intelligent programs.

The stealth performance of the firepower points is good, but once the warship actively detects them, except for some special types, they can basically not hide.

What’s a headache is that these firepower points have very strong defenses themselves.

But for the small lake, this is not a big deal. As long as there is a control system, it can find a way to deal with it.

However, there are too many firing points and platforms, and it would be difficult to eliminate them one by one.

Because they are frequently affected by energy turbulence, these weapon systems do not have many energy blocks and ammunition in stock.

This is a bit like a disposable weapon, so you won’t feel bad if it is damaged.

However, even so, the firepower points deployed here still take into account the impact of energy turbulence and electromagnetic rays.

This is caused by technological development and is also the reason why war is expensive.

Because of this, it is not easy to hack into these systems.

Many of the control systems are very simple - on the battlefield, durability is the best option.

However, for Xiaohu, the simpler the system, the more difficult it is to invade.

There are also some weapons that use intelligent programs, which are very tightly packaged and difficult to hack into.

There are indeed many difficulties, but if Xiaohu puts all his effort into it, it won’t be too difficult.

The main reason is that the space of the regiment-level ship is large enough and the stability is good. Qu Jianlei even moved out a set of computing units for support.

But having the ability doesn't mean you have to do it.

Qu Jianlei and Xiao Hu are both used to developing in a low-key manner, so it is impossible for them to completely reveal their cards.

Therefore, this attack must be carried out in moderation, while ensuring that the blockade can be broken through, the power of the attack must be reduced as much as possible.

Qu Jianlei watched Xiaohu operate for a while and felt that it was almost right, so he was too lazy to observe it anymore.

Anyway, it was convenient for them to communicate, so they turned and went to the room where Hill was imprisoned.

In the room, Xiao Moshan was telling Hill about the tragedy that occurred on Planet No. 4.

They had not revealed their identities before, so it was impossible for him to tell the story, but now he can talk about it.

Hill was shocked when he heard this. "How can you imperial people be so cruel?"

"Don't force me to beat you up!" Xiao Moshan said coldly, "If you hadn't started the trouble, would this have happened?"

Hill shook his head slightly and said nothing more, but he still felt a little disapproving in his heart: After all, you imperial people are too barbaric!

When he thought this way, he was naturally looking at the problem from the perspective of federal society. After all, the cultures of the two countries are different.

Qu Jianlei walked over and sat down. "Do you have any information you can share with us?"

Hill was still shocked by the news about Planet No. 4 and was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.

"Boss, please wait a moment. I want to ask you first, which department of the empire are you from?"

"I need to know who I disclosed the information to, otherwise I would rather not tell anyone."

If someone else spoke like this, Qu Jianlei would have plenty of ways to deal with him, but this person... has a similar temperament to Xiao Moshan.

So he casually replied, "It's just a small social organization...Have you heard of Digital Phantom?"

"No," Hill shook his head honestly, "I have been paying close attention to the information of the Empire, but..."

"Excuse me, but does your organization have a history of 200 years?"

Two hundred years is not a random number. The maximum lifespan is three hundred. Organizations with a lifespan of less than two hundred years can generally be regarded as emerging organizations.

The founders may still be around.

Qu Jianlei smiled indifferently, "Not that long, not many people, a small organization."

He didn't mind the other party's offense. It was best that the team's news didn't reach the Alliance and the Federation, which would also facilitate action.

However, Hill shook his head and said, "I feel that your organization is not small. There are at least three Supremes coming to the Federation this time, right?"

Qu Jianlei's face darkened. "I think you have a pretty good personality, but that doesn't give you the capital to be so unbridled."

"Okay, I apologize," Hill said, "but I still have a question. Are you part of the military?"

"Not really," Qu Jianlei answered casually. This guy would know the news sooner or later, and he would not hide it.

"We are here to accept the mission from the military. After we return, we will hand you over to the military."

"Frankly speaking, the military won't share the Federation's information with us, so I'm interested in hearing some news from you now."

Hill was stunned when he heard this. "How is that possible? With your strength...will the military not share information?"

"Nothing is impossible," Xiao Moshan said, "The special operations team can conceal the information about the star beasts, but others can't?"

"You'd better get back to the point as soon as possible and provide us with any information you can."

Hill paused for a moment and said, "Whatever you want to know, just ask. I will tell you everything I can."

"But I hope that after I answer, you can also answer some of my questions in exchange."

Chapter 1375 The Real Purpose

Hill's request was a bit excessive. As a prisoner, he had no awareness of being a prisoner.

However, Qu Jianlei and Xiao Moshan didn't care. There was a huge difference between interrogating prisoners and asking them to confess voluntarily.

And judging from the other party's character, he is definitely very stubborn, so it is hard to say how much he can force out of him.

Qu Jianlei had a question he wanted to ask long ago, "The Federation is known for its formations. In addition to the Three Talents Formation, what other formations are there?"

Hill answered without hesitation, "The most mature one is the Three Talents Formation, but there are also formations for five people."

"In addition, there are four, six, seven people..."

"But three of them are the most mature, five are a little less mature, and the others are still under research. I'm not sure about their specific progress."

Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows, "Where does this formation information come from, and how can we obtain it?"

Hill actually knew the origin of the information. Just as everyone thought, someone in the Federation also inherited the formation.

It’s just that the person who inherited the legacy was not careful enough and the news was discovered by others.

In theory, he is also the Supreme, but there are more than three or five Supremes targeting him.

Later, this man was forced to offer the Sancai Formation to the military in the hope of getting protection.

But Hill was not very clear about how things developed afterwards.

Not long after the Supreme Leader defected to the military, he died a violent death.

As a result, only a small half of the five-man battle formation was passed down, and only some theoretical knowledge remained of the other formations.

However, the force that made things difficult for him was punished, and several military leaders disappeared.

In high-level circles, the most widely spread rumor was that the Supreme actually committed suicide.

Hill believed that this statement was relatively reliable. Otherwise, the Supreme Being would at least receive some honor for his contribution to the Federation.

But there is no such thing, even this supreme name has been forgotten by most people.

He said with regret: If this is the case, you are indeed qualified to laugh at us.

However, from his tone, he still thinks that the Federation is stronger than the Empire, and this is just an accidental incident.

Xiao Moshan wanted to argue with him, but Qu Jianlei just smiled and said, "Weren't you the same back then?"

As for where the information on other formations is, Hill said that the military has a central research institute where it should be.

He really had no idea where else the information was available - the only circle he had lived in since he was a child was the military.

In addition, Hill also observed the Three Elements Formation of Qu Jianlei and his gang.

After finishing his statement, he said that he wanted to know where your formation came from?

Qu Jianlei just said, "Have you ever thought that the Three Talents Formation that the Supreme handed over was not complete?"

"I think it's very likely," Hill answered without hesitation. "In fact, there have always been such rumors."

"So the Federation has been researching how to improve the Three Elements Formation and has come up with a lot of versions. Unfortunately, alas..."

Qu Jianlei ignored his sadness and asked the second question, "How many complete magic weapons does the Federation have?"

"There are no more than twenty... thirty in the army," Hill's answer always had a prefix.

"Most of the magic weapons have been lost in society, but I'm not sure exactly how many there are..."

Due to institutional problems in the federation, although the military is very strong, local forces have a great influence in society.

Therefore, most of the magical weapons are in the hands of local forces, and the federal government is not in a position to intervene excessively.

However, the military does not care much about this. They believe that what the army should value most are weapons, equipment and battle formations.

Magical instruments are definitely good things, but the military has studied them for many years and has concluded that it is impossible to find a method for universal use.

So they chose a pragmatic attitude and did not compete with the local authorities.

Of course, if one day in the future someone really finds the trick to using magical tools, it is hard to say what will happen next.

In fact, Hill was a little bothered by the current situation, especially after he saw Qu Jianlei and others using magical weapons.

"Have you found a way to use the magic weapon?"

When he asked this question, his eyes lit up frighteningly.

Qu Jianlei actually hated being asked this question, especially by a prisoner.

But thinking about this guy's character, and this time, including Scott's incident, he was in big trouble.

So he replied, "I'm currently trying to figure out a way. It's probably a bit of a coincidence."

Hill knew in his heart that this statement could not be fully believed.

Although he got along well with the A-level wind attribute, they were prisoners after all, and their statuses were not equal.

He had to try to tell the truth, but it was normal for people to be vague.

But he didn't care, and asked again, "Is this the result of the Empire's research, or..."

Qu Jianlei answered casually, "Our organization is relatively small, and we don't know the extent of the Empire's research on magical instruments."

This statement confirms their advantage in this regard, but also appropriately conceals the empire's shortcomings in this regard.

In theory, their research on magical instruments is a relatively secretive matter, but too many interested people in the empire have already paid attention to it.

Therefore, it’s no big deal to let out some rumors.

After all, they had already exposed their related abilities when they fought with Asura.

Hill nodded upon hearing this, "Then the research results of the Empire and the Federation are quite complementary!"

"You're overthinking it," Xiao Moshan couldn't help but speak up after hearing this, "Now the hatred between the two sides is too great, and they complement each other...what else are you thinking about?"

But Hill replied sternly, "With the great enemy of the star beasts around, the internal conflicts of mankind are really not worth mentioning."

"Just because others can't bring this together doesn't mean we should give up trying... I'm willing to give it a try."

"Humph," Xiao Moshan shook his head indifferently, "I'm not making fun of you, but your identity and status are almost there."

Even though he comes from a military family and has a general as his backer, his personal strength is quite lacking.

His cultivation was only A-level, and his military rank was just a colonel. So what if he had a lot of resources?

Qu Jianlei laughed dumbly, "Alright, don't talk about him. Weren't you the same at the beginning?"

At this moment, the big-headed butterfly began to turn happily, "Okay, time to break out!"

Qu Jianlei was too lazy to get up, and directly ordered, "Cut the image over."

Hill was about to speak when he suddenly noticed the screen in front of him lit up and was stunned.

"This is... the firepower has been reduced so much, can we leave now?"

While they were chatting, Xiao Hu had already destroyed nearly half of the firing points, and the wall of fire had obviously become much thinner.

Seeing this, Qu Jianlei was no longer in a hurry to ask Hill. There was nothing more important than breaking through now.

Although Xiaohu's ability basically does not require his help, but when encountering such a big event, he feels it is necessary to pay attention to the whole process.

It turns out that the federal government’s automatic defense system is pretty good.

As the starship moved forward, not only did the remaining firepower points turn, but new firepower points were also exposed.

This ability to plan step by step and set up defenses at every level is really extraordinary.

But think about it, the defense here is aimed at the possible invading imperial army, so this little defense is really nothing.

It’s a pity that this system encountered a small lake and it was difficult to cause much substantial damage to the fleet.

Butterfly was a little skeptical. "I sense that there are a lot of firepower points around us. Why aren't they attacking us?"

Qu Jianlei answered without thinking, "The distance is too far. Not only will it waste a lot of energy, but it will also be difficult to aim."

"Of course, the most crucial thing is... once the firing points are discovered, the home advantage will be greatly reduced."

"This is used to stop the imperial army. How could it be exposed for a small regimental-level ship?"

This is also the truth. Through active detection, we can find that there are too many preset fire points in this space.

However, unless the battle is at the campaign level, it is simply impossible to activate all the firepower points.

Although Qu Jianlei and his group were obvious enemies and had taken away a Federation regimental-level ship, it was still not worth going all out.

Unless the Operations Department can clearly inform the front-line war zone that there are at least three Supremes and more than ten Supremes among the other side.

Only then will it be possible to activate all combat equipment - and even this is not 100% certain.

Campaign-level combat preparations cannot be initiated under normal circumstances.

Not to mention that there are many federal soldiers on the regimental ships, launching a full-scale war to deal with their own people - it is difficult to explain even in the front-line war zone.

In short, although the blockade was ridiculously strong and not suitable for open breakthrough, the three starships actually forced their way in.

The movements of the three starships were ordinary, sometimes a little erratic, but they managed to avoid most of the attacks.

The starship had to withstand the rest of the attacks head-on - now that the protective shield had been upgraded, wouldn't it be a shame not to use it?

As for the relatively dull movement, it was actually intentional on Xiaohu's part. If he had been a little more erratic, he could have avoided more artillery fire.

But why bother? Wouldn't it be better to just "escape in disgrace"?

In fact, even this result left the soldiers in the front-line zone stunned. How could it be so easy to break through the blockade?

The atmosphere in the command center was very solemn. Everyone had a blank expression on their faces and stared silently at the direction of movement of the three starships.

They have received reports that many of the firing points involved in the fire blockade are being destroyed rapidly.

The mode of damage is not very certain, but in addition to the artillery attack, there should be some electromagnetic interference.

The lieutenant general pinched his brows, frowned and muttered softly.

"These people are not here this time to test how to destroy the blockade firepower, right?"

He really couldn't help but think so. The Operations Department said that this group of people was very powerful, and he thought there might be more high-level awakeners.

But now it seems that the opponent's star wars methods are the most powerful.

It is common for the Empire and the Federation to test each other from time to time on the front line.

Looking at the current situation, is it possible that a new round of war is about to begin?
