Chapter 5: Victory

Indeed, it is an SOS signal

Everything went very smoothly! Thank you for your help, I will not forget this friendship! Lin Gulan replied with a smile: Thank you so much, we did not suffer any losses, only two Spark-class assault boats were damaged, but the drivers are fine!

Excellent

At this moment, at the headquarters of Galaxy Communications on Helan Star, Yuan Lu has become like an ant on a hot pan

During this period, Galaxy Communications has received five to six hundred complaints from various aspects, and the number is rapidly increasing. If this continues, it is estimated that the hotline service number will be overwhelmed.

The disappearance of the second signal source of the imperial army? The news from Lei Yanping has put everyone on high alert: "What happened?"

The battle is still ongoing, and Yan Qingfeng and the others are unaware that Lin Gulan is still engaged in a fierce struggle. The Dragon-class destroyer is not to be underestimated. After a full ten minutes, another beam of white light pierced through the vision, signifying the final conclusion of the battle

Of course we need it! Lin Gulan's voice was warm and powerful: "We are searching for the enemy's crew, my goodness, these are two Dragon-class ships! Do you have any medical supplies in stock? We have many injured here!"

Soon, the electronic warfare officer of the Short Sword confirmed the message relayed by Milan: "Based on the received passive radar signals, it has been confirmed that the enemy has at least two destroyers, most likely of the Feilong class"

The imperial army will show no mercy towards communication facilities. The last time their reconnaissance ship entered Milanko, only one fortunate employee from nearly one hundred staff members of Galactic Communications managed to escape using a lifeboat that had slipped through the barrage of fire.

Rapid Fire

However, half a minute later, a joyful voice spread throughout the captain's room: "The enemies are attacking each other, two Dragon-class destroyers are attacking the third Dragon-class ship. My God, they are attacking each other!"

Major Lin Gulan, you must keep up the good work

What is even more infuriating is that the group of lunatics in Milan is now completely refusing any orders. Even Yuan Lu's attempts to connect several times have been directly cut off. Just thinking about this makes Yuan Lu feel like jumping up in frustration

This group of prisoners, under the command of Major Wang, rose in rebellion, seized control of the "Feilong" class destroyer, and attempted to use it to return to the Alliance. However, the Imperial Army quickly dispatched two "Feilong" class ships in pursuit.

I am afraid it may be too late

However, Leng Jianchuan and the other officers wore solemn expressions, as this was indeed a high-stakes gamble. The opponent had three imperial destroyers, any one of which was sufficient to suppress the entire dispatch team.

Yan Qingfeng involuntarily stood up; in that instant, his gaze was met with a dazzling expanse of sunlight, as if the sun had exploded, with countless rays of brilliance streaming in through the observation window

What went wrong? Was it destroyed, or is there another issue?

Deactivate the cloaking engine, activate the shield

The speed from the launch source clearly indicates that the battle between both sides has reached a critical moment, and the signals from the Short Sword are also experiencing severe interference, making it impossible for anyone to hear clearly; all that is known is that the fighting has escalated to a white-hot intensity

Your Excellency

In the face of three reconnaissance ships, the Anen task force holds a complete advantage, especially since our side has activated stealth capabilities. It is highly likely that the Imperial forces will only realize this when they are within engagement range. However, the situation is entirely different for the three destroyers

Lin Gulan could even see the flickering lights in the starry sky, which were from the heavily besieged Dragon-class ship. After enduring a series of relentless attacks, it was overwhelmed, with fires breaking out all over the vessel, posing a constant risk of explosion. However, this severely damaged Dragon-class ship continued to retaliate, occasionally igniting a series of rainbows on the hull of its opponent.

The other two Dragon-class vessels were completely unaware of the arrival of the Short Sword. They simply launched their attacks with all their might, exposing their fiery thrusters to Lin Gulan, without even making a single evasive maneuver

As for the third "Feilong" class destroyer, it is currently under the control of Linggulan. This "Feilong" class is indeed the key to Linggulan's victory. Although it is an imperial military destroyer, the operators are a group of escaped prisoners of war from the alliance.

Once again, there was a wave of excitement. Yan Qingfeng immediately connected with Lin Gulan, and the enthusiastic cheers from the Short Sword were so loud that Lin Gulan's voice was almost inaudible: "Major Lin Gulan, this is Yan Qingfeng. Is everything going smoothly? Is there anything we can assist you with?"

What should I do

See you in half an hour

According to the regulations of Galaxy Communications, a communication failure lasting five minutes is typically addressed as a technical issue. If it persists for fifteen minutes, it is classified as equipment maintenance. A duration of half an hour can barely be covered under the pretext of "emergency equipment repair." However, now it has been a full hour; not only would one face consequences, but even General Kong would likely receive a severe reprimand from Yun Xiang.

Engage the enemy in half a minute

Is Major Lin Gulan and the others all right

Even without the news from Yan Qingfeng, the entire fleet was already prepared to charge into the enemy formation at full speed in perfect formation. Moreover, Yan Qingfeng's message further bolstered Lin Gulan's confidence: "One enemy ship has lost its combat capability, prepare to cut in from the enemy's rear, fire at full speed!"

However, once Ling Gulan entered the battle, a situation of encirclement was formed, leading to a miraculous turnaround. In the words of Cold Sword Chuan: "Major Wang truly has a boundless future ahead! Just this Flying Dragon Sword alone is enough for him to live off for a lifetime. No, from now on, everyone has a boundless future! Long live the Alliance!"

No matter how hard the air conditioner blows, it cannot dispel the anxiety in his heart

Lin Gulan could hardly believe her eyes; she truly could not believe that her first independent mission with the fleet would yield such a perfect result. How many fleet commanders of the Alliance have spent their entire lives without encountering such a smooth battle? She felt compelled to express her deep gratitude to Lei Yanping and Yan Qingfeng

I will send the list to you! Deputy Station Master Hu Lingtian interjected, saying: "Is there anything else you need? Please do not hesitate!"

The battle has begun

You are welcome, see you in half an hour

Meanwhile, the Milan relay communication station also became tense

Two "Short Sword" class frigates opened fire first, unleashing medium proton cannons that bombarded the rear of a Dragon-class destroyer at a torrential rate, with countless colorful lights erupting in that instant

The short sword has also slowed down

Although on the surface he appeared as steady as a mountain, sweat unconsciously flowed down from his forehead, yet he remained completely unaware.

There are four minutes left

The enemy ship has slowed down

They should begin to counterattack

Hit! Long live!

Absolutely cannot escape

There is no time to retreat

Upon thinking of this, Yuan Lu could not help but make a firm resolution: "Hmm! This must definitely be that vile woman Lei Yanping's idea behind the scenes. You are unkind, and I shall be unprincipled; even the Second Young Master Gu cannot save you!"

Leng Jianchuan had to make a very reasonable suggestion: "Shouldn't we be more cautious?" and the books

That was the aftermath of the enemy ship's explosion, and everyone erupted into continuous cheers. Chairs and tables were almost sent flying, yet Lei Yanping remained completely still, continuing to track several signal sources on the screen. Half a minute later, she made the correct judgment: "The enemy ship is preparing to escape!"

However, the group from Milankov is almost going mad now. They have been operating that Class A frequency for an hour. Initially, it was said to be for military needs, but later there was hardly any traffic on that frequency. However, they directly switched to exclusive mode, resulting in the appropriation of nearly half of the bandwidth.

Continue to pursue victory!

When everyone else was feeling somewhat desperate, only Lei Yanqing remained fully committed in front of the screen. When she immerses herself in a task, she invests all her passion and enthusiasm into it

Should be knocked out!

Quickly let Major Lin Gulan retreat

It is highly likely that there are three destroyers

When Lin Gulan arrived, the Dragon-class ship was already in a desperate situation under siege, with its shields and armor nearly depleted, and it seemed that the Imperial forces had no intention of leaving any survivors

Three against three, and it seems that one enemy ship is experiencing issues, it should be fine

Only two Spark-class assault boats were severely damaged, and several individuals aboard the frigate were injured, while the Imperial forces lost two "Dragon-class" destroyers. The Short Sword alone captured over a hundred Imperial officers and soldiers

Full speed ahead

Yet time continues to pass, and the outcome on the front lines remains uncertain. Yan Qingfeng finds no answers in the communication signals, his heart filled with anxiety. He stands up and gazes at the starry sky for a long time, but sees nothing, only a vast darkness.

Do you need any assistance? We will do our utmost here, although we do not have much inventory.

The main force of the An'en faction consists of only two "Short Sword" class light frigates, along with a fast supply ship that accompanies them in combat. All their firepower combined can barely contend with a single destroyer, while the opposing side has a total of three destroyers.

Long live! Yan Qingfeng immediately jumped up from the stool: "We have sunk the enemy ship!"

Mr. Kong has called twice in a row to inquire, and his tone was quite impolite, stating that he intends to come in person to take charge. Lawyer Yuan managed to calm Mr. Kong's anger for the time being through various means.

Yan Qingfeng, you should contact Major Lin quickly

Lin Gulan stepped once again to the observation window, gazing at the starry sky: "Continue forward, do not hesitate at all, prepare to engage the enemy in five minutes!"

Although he was unaware of what had transpired, Yan Qingfeng immediately contacted Lin Gulan: "Your Excellency, an enemy ship has issued an urgent distress signal! SOS, requesting assistance!"

During the half hour of waiting for the Lin Gulan dispatch team, Yan Qingfeng gradually understood the detailed course of this battle. Lin Gulan's victory can be described as perfect

At the Milan communication relay station, everyone is eagerly watching this battle, and the voice coming from the Short Sword is stirring their blood. Everyone knows that the outcome of this battle will determine the fate of the relay station

Her fingers danced swiftly, and suddenly she said to Yan Qingfeng: "We can order Major Lin Gulan to launch a full-speed attack; a hostile ship has sent out an emergency distress signal"

Everyone was discussing animatedly, while the ringing of phones echoed one after another, yet no one went to answer them. Even if someone did pick up the phone, they merely replied hastily, "Military needs!"

Although in this starry sky, a clash of blood and power is unfolding

Alright, everyone, we will have a gathering later, and I will bring out the treasured items I have kept for many years to treat you all

Slowed down
