"I hope they all go well!" Captain Marquez muttered in a low voice as he watched the Attack ship cross the FTL orbit.
The ejection rail used by the independent battleship Attack is the standard configuration of the space battleship Confidence, whether it is an attached small battleship or a mech landing ship.
As a super space battleship, Faith's bombardment control range has reached more than 500 light seconds, and the detection range of the main optical brain radar is even about ten times the range of the main gun.
When Faith encounters an enemy in space, if its attached small battleships and soldier mechas take off slowly, the day lily will be cold. Therefore, they must rely on FTL ejection to bring battleships and mechs to the front line.
As for the return journey after the battle, under the acceleration of the powerful power furnace, the small battleship can fly back autonomously at super-light speed. The soldiers need to go back to a specific mech landing ship first. If they fly back by themselves, it will take at least a few sidereal days.
Qin Lun's judgment on Captain Marquez is very accurate. This captain with air combat experience is not the first time to cooperate with the apostle. When he was young, he also met the apostle once. Since their arrival, Marquez has been observing the performance of the apostles, measuring the level of cooperation between the two parties.
Marquez has a very clear understanding of the apostles, unlike Dongyue, Vera and others who just worship blindly. He knew that every time the apostles came, the enemy and our camps would receive similar support.
Of course, Marquez did not understand this fact when he first met the apostle. However, now he has thought about it. The Gith people are not the center of the universe, and the apostles or the starry sky will not take special care of the Ghis people.
As an apostle said to Márquez before, the apostle only cares about his mission. The apostles of different camps are either allies, competitors, or mortal enemies. Anyway, they will always be bound by their own missions.
Therefore, as an aborigine in this world, Marquez does not need to pay attention to the enemy apostles at all, but only needs to cooperate with his own apostles.
Most of the time, the apostles have the mission of helping the natives of their own side. These people's positions are more firm than the racists, and there is no need to worry about their loyalty except for their fighting ability.
After Qin Lun and others arrived, Marquez observed them for a few days before meeting them, hoping to know the overall strength of these apostles. Faith will definitely arm itself with this kind of free starry sky support, but how much resources and attention it needs to pay depends on how much strength the apostle itself has.
Because of the exercise, Robin and Qin Lun thought that Captain Marquez would think that their group performed poorly, but it was actually just a misunderstanding. The captain of the Faith has a vicious gaze, not only feeling the excellence of the inspector team, but also grasping everyone's psychology to a considerable extent.
For a certain period of time, the apostles felt vaguely constrained. To put it bluntly, Captain Marquez, who didn't show much, controlled the situation, so that they didn't have the free will of the previous mission world.
However, after realizing the strength of his own apostle, the captain of the Faith is still very willing to invest, and he is full of courage in this regard.
Robin and Qin Lun's original worries were just unfounded. When Robin first proposed to equip the Jannamer biological warfare ship, Captain Marquez had already acquiesced in his heart. He delayed replying to Robin for a few days, just hoping to make the apostle pay attention to his own resource investment.
The inspector team actually didn't know that the independent battleship of the Attack that Marquez had prepared for them kept the crew of the Faith busy for five full sundays. Not only did they mobilize a newest small battleship, but they also consumed all the angel clones and Jannamer biological tissue samples stored on the Faith.
…
"Sherlock, what's this?" Inside the Assault that had already set sail, Bobby fumbled around excitedly in the battleship. The temptation is completely irresistible.
"Don't touch... that's the fire button, ah, don't touch that one either, it's the warning light cannon in the cabin! Ah, ah, ah! Someone help me drag this brat away!"
Seeing the armory with a big hole blasted out by the light cannon, Sherlock chased and hit Bobby a little frantically, but compared to the apostle's physical fitness, he was more like scratching Bobby.
When the two first met, there was quite a tacit understanding. After a while, Sherlock realized that he had made a mistake. Bobby, the wind elemental clansman, is a mechanical idiot at all, but he is extremely fanatical about everything on the attack. It turns out that the wind element is insulated from machinery, and most of the things he touches will be bad.
"Giggle!" Looking at the two teenagers of the same age, and a group of Gies girls who were following the Attack, he couldn't help but let out a burst of exquisite laughter, which diluted a lot of the melancholy mood of leaving the Faith and attacking alone.
"Fortunately, the soldiers given to you belong to all biological mechs. If I give you a BBC (metal mech), it will be dismantled into scrap iron in minutes!" Sherlock held his knees panting, and looked at Looking at Poppy, "You're not allowed to touch anything in the Armory anymore!"
After boarding the Assault, the apostles finally discovered that Captain Marquez was still generous. The Attack is more than 500 meters long, shaped like a roller, with Jannamer biological armor attached to its surface, and its core uses clone samples of Robin, Poppy, and Sawa, which can be affected by the replacement ability of the three, and have certain Apostle's offensive and defensive and auxiliary abilities.
The Assault possesses a powerful Char-class particle rail cannon, capable of destroying the outer tissue of a mature Jannamer with a single shot. If it is used to bombard planets, it is no less powerful than a small meteorite with a diameter of more than one kilometer.
According to Sherlock, this main gun was dismantled from a Char-class main space battleship, and it can be regarded as a small ship carrying a cannon. This kind of different design was impossible to realize, because the gun mount of the Assault used Jannamer biological tissue, and it was finally installed, but this main gun can only be controlled by the apostle with spiritual power.
Regarding the staffing of the battleship, all the gis beauties who were originally in charge of taking care of the apostles were on board, and there was also an ordnance officer who specially made special equipment for the apostles, so that they could repair the weapons and equipment of the mechas of the soldiers at any time.
Although the apostles have their own independent battleship, the crew responsible for manipulating it is still the crew drawn by the Faith. They are headed by Captain Marquez's beautiful adjutant Dongyue.
In addition to this group of people, according to Robin's request, Marquez equipped the Assault with auxiliary soldier mechas and a Guise flight officer. This is because the apostles discovered during this period of training that it would be a serious waste of combat efficiency to let them conduct air combat alone.
It was difficult for the apostles to learn the Ghisian air combat tactics in a short period of time. If during the battle, there are three or four Jiss pilots driving soldiers to cooperate with an apostle, then the combat efficiency of the entire team will be increased several times.
Seeing the results of this simulation training, Marquez did not hesitate to equip each apostle with four subordinate flight officers to form ten five-man crews. Of course, among the ten five-man crews, Robin, Bobby, and Sawa's crews are just backup members. Unless the situation requires it, their role on the Attack is even greater.
…
At this time, an unknown change also occurred on an asteroid about a dozen light-years away from the Attacker.
Looking at the planet from outer space, the entire atmosphere is purple-red, and the surface is covered with dark brown moss vegetation. The climate of the planet looks hot and humid, the water vapor on the surface of the vegetation permeates a trace of plant juice, and the whole is filled with a thick layer of purple mist, much like a poisonous miasma.
Of course, some places on this planet are not all moss clinging to the ground, there is also a kind of transparent thorns that look like crystals, and a huge plant that towers into the sky and is shaped like a mushroom umbrella.
This kind of mushroom umbrella often grows near water sources, most of which are thousands of meters high, and the umbrella surface can cover the ground surface with a radius of several square kilometers. What is strange is that there are holes all over the mushroom umbrella of this plant, densely packed like a group of gopher nests.
Near these holes are often accompanied by biological spores of various strange shapes. This kind of thing doesn't seem to be a plant, and in many cases, the surface will wriggle slightly like a placenta, and some blister-like substances will emerge.
Near these spores, there are many large winged insects flying in circles, which seems to protect the safety of these spores, so that they will not be harassed and attacked by planetary beasts.
The spores are big and small, the big ones are no less than hundreds of stories high-rise buildings, and the small ones are the size of a car. When they mature, they open like flower buds, revealing the wet, nascent organisms inside. Most of these creatures resemble various reptiles, with hard carapaces and chelicerae on the outside, and some even have crystal insect wings.
If Qin Lun and the others were here, they would be able to see the black crab, the big spider they encountered during the drill, among the bugs all over the mountains and plains. These creatures are obviously the Zygus Zerg mentioned by Captain Marquez.
"Gulu!" A faint wave spread, and a group of flying insects patrolling near the spores seemed to be frightened, and they all moved away from the group of spores under their feet.
"Crack!" Before a spore was fully opened, an arm full of scales was broken out, and it was squeezed out from the inside of the spore. Following its movements, about a dozen nearby spores also changed at the same time, bursting open one after another, exposing the creatures inside.
Although these creatures also have insect characteristics such as carapace and tentacles on their bodies, the strange thing is that they are all "humanoid", and after they come out, they immediately look around vigilantly, obviously possessing extremely high intelligence.
"Dear Star Apostle, the Zerg Zergs welcome you!" Just as these Zergs looked around, an old idea suddenly sounded in their minds.
