Although he was resolutely opposed at the beginning, but after the objection failed, Barnes could only retreat and ask for it, that is, he proposed to join the vanguard commanded by Yang Yi himself. To this end, Barnes proposed a reason that Yang Yi could not refute. Only he can obtain the information provided by the Hidden Spirit Race, and the vanguard definitely needs timely and accurate information, so he should not be left out of the matter in any case.
This reason is very good, and Yang Yi really cannot refute it. However, Yang Yi didn't plan to let Barnes act with the large forces. Quite simply, when Shen Chengwen resolutely refused to stay to lead the expeditionary force, Yang Yi could only hand over the command of the expeditionary force to Ke Mingcong, who replaced Yuyang and served as the chief of staff of the expeditionary force. Although Ke Mingcong had participated in the battle between Slag Star and Beacon Mars, he could be regarded as a veritable veteran, or a real warrior, but he was not famous enough, he was only a major, and he obviously didn't have much right to speak. It is no problem to let him command the expeditionary army, after all, the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary army are Yang Yi's men. But let him face the prince of the Hidden Spirit Race, obviously reluctantly.
After making arrangements, Yang Yi set off with the vanguard troops.
The so-called "pioneer forces" are actually the special reconnaissance squadrons. To be precise, they are the special reconnaissance squadrons that have been strengthened again, that is, they include the main officers drawn from various corps. According to Yang Yi's requirements, all officers and soldiers of the vanguard must be at least Tier 10 soldiers, and all officers are Renkui fighters. It is best to have space storage to carry additional materials and improve continuous combat capabilities. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of the Special Reconnaissance Brigade are at least level ten soldiers, and almost all veterans, that is, those who originally belonged to the Special Reconnaissance Brigade, have space storage. As for the recruits who joined later, their combat power was not bad, all they lacked were space storage.
Because there were only less than 10,000 officers and soldiers in total, Yang Yi did not use the warships of the expeditionary army.
This is not necessary either, because one "Xinghai" is enough.
Without being dragged down by large forces, and without other worries, the powerful performance of the "Xinghai" has come into play. Using the route data provided by Barnes, the distance of each space jump of the "Xinghai" is more than one hundred light years, and after completing the space jump, it only makes a short stay and immediately proceeds to the next space jump. In other words, the "Xinghai" can make space jumps twice a day. At this speed, flying out of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt and into the Northern Alpha Galaxy, that is, flying about 6,000 light-years in only one month at most.
Of course, during the voyage, the "Xinghai" will occasionally contact the fleet behind.
Fortunately, it was a smooth journey. Although there were some minor troubles, it was not a major issue, mainly because the situation on the route was different from the information provided by the hidden spirit race. For the "Xinghai", which has independent navigation capabilities, such a small problem is not a problem at all.
One month is not too long.
During this period, what Yang Yi did the most was to train with his officers and soldiers. In fact, Yang Yi's main purpose is to transform the original energy converter used by his opponents. Although Yang Yi gave most of the original crystals to Yu Linglong in order to make small original energy converters, he left some. Because Barnes can’t know the existence of the original crystal, let alone let Barnes know that the original crystal can be used to increase the output power of the original energy converter, so Yang Yi can only check the original The converter can be modified. For the battle that will be faced next, including Yang Yi, the combat strength of any officer and soldier is of utmost importance.
To Yang Yi's surprise, Barnes was also very positive.
During this month, Barnes not only put down his figure and took the initiative to train with the officers and soldiers under Yang Yi, but also taught some advanced combat skills based on the specific conditions of the officers and soldiers. Perhaps in Barnes's view, these combat skills are nothing, but for human soldiers, the combat skills from the Hidden Spirit Race must be extraordinary. You must know that there are only two ways for combat troops to improve their combat power. One is to obtain better original energy converters, and the other is to master stronger combat skills. For thousands of years, the strongest combat skills of the Galactic Alliance have been in the hands of top civilizations. Including the Human Federation, the combat skills mastered by other civilizations all come from the top civilization. Obviously, for human soldiers, a set of combat skills from the top civilization is simply invaluable. It can even be said that in order to obtain combat skills from the top civilization, many people will be beaten to death.
Naturally, no one would refuse Barnsken's teaching of the combat skills of the Hidden Spirit Race.
Before I knew it, a month passed.
On this day, Yang Yi and Lin Feng were training against several soldiers, and Shen Chengwen hurried over. Paying attention to Shen Chengwen's look, Yang Yi knew that the "Xinghai" had reached its destination. To be precise, it had flown out of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt and entered the Northern Alpha Galaxy.
When Yang Yi and the others came to the command center, the "Xinghai" was decelerating.
Ahead, millions of kilometers away is a lonely planet, to be precise a planetary space fortress, and it has long been abandoned.
"'Barn-Kurion Fortress'." Shen Chengwen sighed and said, "A thousand years ago, at the end of the'Peace Dawn' campaign, Marshal Zhan Ruilin said that sooner or later, the human legion will return again. Here, and from here to the final victory. It’s just that no one believed what he said at the time. Maybe, including him, no one thought that we would be back here after a thousand years."
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment and looked at Shen Chengwen.
"After saying this, Marshal Zhan Ruilin also said a word." Lin Feng said from the side, "Maybe it will be ten thousand years later."
Yang Yi was taken aback again, and then he came to understand.
"Do you want to go over and take a look?"
"Since it's here, let's go and take a look."
Without Yang Yi's order, Allen, who controlled the "Xinghai", immediately adjusted the route, allowing the "Xinghai" to enter the route around the fortress.
"Barn-Kurion Fortress" was originally a planet, but it was originally not here.
In the late period of the Fifth Greenwich War, as the counterattack forces of the Galactic Alliance headed by the Human Legion approached step by step, the War King of the Silicon Charm Alliance realized that it would be a matter of time for the Greenwich Meteor Belt to fall. If a line of defense cannot be constructed in time, there will be no Law prevents the Legion of the Galactic Alliance from entering the Northern Alpha Galaxy. If you continue to fail and retreat, the consequences will be disastrous. Because of the tight time, the Emperor himself took the initiative and used his unparalleled extraordinary ability to transfer dozens of planets from the hinterland of the Northern Alpha galaxy to the vicinity of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt. Next, the Silicon Magic Alliance transforms these planets into space fortresses to build a complete line of defense.
On this line of defense, the most famous is "Barn-Kurion Fortress."
It is not that this fortress is the strongest, but that this fortress happened to be blocking the advancement route of the human legion.
Strictly speaking, the "Barn-Kurion Fortress" was not the largest fortress on the line of defense, and at that time there were not the most defenders stationed here.
What made this fortress famous was the subsequent battle of "Peace Dawn".
Of course, "Peace Dawn" was later called, and at that time, this battle was called "Victory Gate", that is, the gate to the final victory.
According to the battle plan at the time, the human legion would use this as a springboard to continue advancing to the land of the northern Alpha galaxy after capturing this fortress. In order to win this fortress in one fell swoop, and to expand the scope of the offensive subsequently, almost all the main forces participated in the offensive battle.
Unfortunately, this is not a war dominated by the Human Federation.
When millions of human soldiers were engaged in the battle against the fortress, the overlord of the Galactic Alliance led by Wanluo and Heavenly Sovereign reached a compromise with the Simei Alliance. When the human legion lay down the fortress, the two sides reached an agreement on a truce. Although it was the Human Legion that occupied this vital fortress and opened the door to the hinterland of the Northern Alpha Galaxy, it forced the Warlord of the Silicon Charm Alliance to admit defeat and accept the armistice agreement proposed by the Galactic Alliance, but except for humans Outside of the Federation, the other civilizations of the Galactic Alliance remember only the powerful like the Wanluo Battle Emperor and the Heavenly Sage Emperor, rather than the bloody human soldiers.
In fact, even in the Human Federation, there are very few official historical materials related to this fortress.
It is not that later people forget the past, but in order to maintain the unity of the Galactic Alliance, the human federal authorities selectively forgot the past. Not to mention anything else, after the war, even the commander-in-chief who personally directed the battle, that is, Zhan Ruilin, rarely mentioned what happened at that time.
If it hadn't been for the discovery of the "Frost and Snow Tiger", if it hadn't been for Lin Feng, and if it hadn't been for the subsequent encounters, Yang Yi would not have known so much.
Thousand years of time, for this fortress, is actually just a flick of a finger.
The fortress is extremely large, with a diameter of more than two thousand kilometers, and it has been completely transformed. Not only is the interior hollowed out, but the surface is also covered with military facilities such as barracks and fortifications. Because of the extremely serious damage and loss of repair value, the appearance of the fortress is no different from that of a thousand years ago. In many places, the traces of the original battle still exist and are extremely well preserved. It seems that the battle has just ended.
The "Xinghai" flew around the fortress.
Seeing the traces left by the blood and statements of the martyrs on the battlefield back then, Yang Yi was deeply moved.
This is not just a fortress, nor an ancient battlefield, but also a monument, a monument cast by thousands of human soldiers in their bloody battles.
It is also a symbol, a sign that inspires future generations.
Of course, this is also a gate, a gate leading to the hinterland of the Northern Alpha Galaxy.
Thousands of human soldiers came here thousands of years ago, fought bloody battles for the final victory, and proved the value of human soldiers with their actions.
Now, Yang Yi is here.
However, Yang Yi has no idea whether he can complete the cause of the martyrs. All he has is the courage to move forward courageously, and the will to never give up.
