As he spoke, he moved closer to Bai Xiu Xiu, but Bai Xiu Xiu pressed his face and pushed him aside.
"You're dreaming. Stop making trouble and listen to me." Bai Xiu Xiu grabbed Lan Xuanyu's hands.
She raised her head and stared into Lan Xuanyu's eyes with burning eyes. "The war is about to begin. We are just an insignificant part of the army. I know your character. When you fight, you like to use surprise attacks and take unconventional approaches to gain the greatest benefits. This is your way of fighting, and I support you. However, when you make any decision, you must pay attention to safety. Just like you told everyone. What I want to tell you is that in the next mission, wherever you are, I will be there. If you are in danger, it means that I will be in danger too. So, you have to protect me, and you must protect yourself. I don't care about military merits or anything like that. I just want you to be safe. War is an opportunity for soldiers, but it is also the cruelest."
Seeing Bai Xiuxiu's eyes gradually turning red, Lan Xuanyu nodded seriously, "I understand. Xiuxiu, don't worry, I will never take risks easily. The last incident with Teacher Nana has left me with a deep lesson."
As he spoke, he pulled Bai Xiu Xiu into his arms and hugged her delicate body tightly.
Bai Xiuxiu put her cheek on his shoulder and said, "I don't care about the outcome of the war. I only care that everyone is still here after the war. To be honest, if I have a choice, I really don't want a war."
The two of them hugged each other, silently feeling each other's heartbeat and each other's warmth.
No matter how many people do not want war to happen, and no matter how many people are eager to achieve success in war, war is still coming!
The Seventh Fleet, like a giant dragon awakening, lit up and started up the main thrusters at the rear of all its warships.
Just as Lan Xuanyu expected, the Seventh Fleet was heading in the direction of Tianma Star, one of the two main stars in the Longma Galaxy. It would only take five days to get from where they were stationed to Tianma Star with full speed and wormhole jumps.
Lan Xuanyu and the other seven were already in the combat command center. Of course, they only had the right to listen in. At the same time, unless Yan Xinghe ordered them to, they could not leave the command center in order to protect military secrets.
Through the huge 270-degree porthole, one can clearly see the fleet of warships flying in space. Four Dragon King-class frigates are guarding the mothership. A large number of other warships are surrounding it.
"We are about to start the first jump. Everyone, get in position and prepare for the jump. The protective shield should be opened to 45 percent." Yan Xinghe sat in the main seat and kept issuing orders.
Through observation, Lan Xuanyu realized that the Dragon King-class frigates had more tasks than he had imagined. This is how a space fleet is arranged. The highest level is naturally the mothership, but in fact, the mothership only manages the deployment of four Dragon King-class frigates and only issues tasks for the four major frigates. And each Dragon King-class frigate is in charge of three Ares-class battleships under its jurisdiction.
Each battleship controls its own Meteor-class attack ships and Meteor-class reconnaissance ships, thus forming a pyramid-like system.
Therefore, Long San not only has to manage himself, but also the three battleships below. These three battleships are just outside Long San, forming a semi-enclosed arc, with lower-level battleships guarding outside. The entire battleship group is a kind of inside-out, the more powerful the battleship is, the more it is at the core.
The first wormhole jump started. At this time, Lan Xuanyu deeply felt the power of this large battleship.
With the shield open, the entire process of the wormhole jump was surprisingly smooth, without even a vibration. It was no different from a normal flight.
Although the protective shield of the Dragon King-class frigate was only 45% open, it not only protected itself, but also a large number of small warships around it, including battleships, and performed wormhole jumps together.
The mothership released a larger protective shield, almost protecting the entire fleet. The Seventh Fleet was completely a whole.
Looking at everything outside the porthole, Lan Xuanyu and the other seven had only one feeling in their hearts: magnificent!
It really is worthy of being the most powerful fighting force in the Douluo Federation!
Lan Xuanyu and his companions could only rest in the headquarters, meditating and resting in their seats. There was no real food to eat during the war, and everyone ate high-energy nutritional paste, even the captain Yan Xinghe. This was the rule of the space fleet. During the war, even the fleet commander could only eat nutritional paste. Because nutritional paste can replenish the nutrients needed by the human body in the shortest time, it will not delay time.
Three days later, after the fourth wormhole jump, the Seventh Fleet's speed suddenly began to slow down.
Through Yan Xinghe's orders and observations, Lan Xuanyu discovered that all the warships below the Meteor class in the Seventh Fleet, including transport ships, had circled to the rear of the fleet. The entire fleet began to change its formation.
Four Dragon King-class frigates were lined up in a row, with the mothership flying out from the center and in the front. Twelve battleships were behind the Dragon King-class frigates. The three most powerful warships formed a triangle-like formation and flew forward, with all the small warships and transport ships flying behind.
"Beep, beep, the piercing alarm sounded, and the light in the command center became brighter. On the large screen on one side, the radar continued to zoom in and explore."
Yan Xinghe stood up and said in a deep voice: "We are about to enter the combat zone. All troops, prepare to fight."
Lan Xuanyu also saw the enemy through the big screen. They were shining spots of light, and were particularly clear in space.
The Longma Galaxy had obviously discovered the Seventh Fleet's advance a long time ago. They certainly couldn't set the battlefield near Tianma Star, so they set up their formation and prepared for battle here, two days' journey away from Tianma Star.
The distance between the two sides gradually narrowed. Yan Xinghe, the commander of Long San, was not nervous at all. He turned around and waved to Lan Xuanyu, saying, "Xuanyu, come here."
Lan Xuanyu quickly stood up and came to Yan Xinghe's side. At the headquarters, the senior officers were all staff officers, and the other senior officers were at their posts and not at the headquarters.
Yan Xinghe said in a deep voice: "Zoom in the picture."
On the big screen, the picture was enlarged, showing the battleships of the Longma galaxy on the screen.
Yan Xinghe said to Lan Xuanyu: "In terms of warship technology, although the Longma Galaxy is trying hard to catch up, the gap between us is still very large. This is why we are absolutely confident that we can defeat the opponent on the front battlefield. If the opponent has even a 30% chance of defeating us on the front battlefield, they will not allow us to block the airspace in the direction of the Federation, because they definitely have much more resources. If they can block us on the front battlefield for a period of time, they may be able to produce more warships. In fact, we have been conducting some wars of attrition over the years to ensure that the number and power of the Longma Galaxy's warships are not enough to pose a threat to us. The battleships of the Longma Galaxy are like a ragtag army."
Lan Xuanyu was watching the images on the big screen at this time. This was his first time to see a warship with alien technology.
Sure enough, just as Yan Xinghe said, the warships of the Longma Galaxy really looked like a ragtag army. This was mainly because their warships were quite different from each other.
The first battleship that Lan Xuanyu arrived at looked a bit like a fish. According to the radar data, the battleship was about 300 meters long and covered with brown scales. The scales emitted layers of halos, which were obviously protective. There were three pairs of wings spread out on the top, and light was sprayed from behind the wings.
