Chapter 1285: Disobeying Military Orders
Hill knew what was going on, so he said calmly, "They separated me from you on purpose."
The seven understood immediately after hearing this. They had all cultivated to A-level and were soldiers, so who wouldn't know this?
The first mate simply said, "My life was saved by you, sir. I trust you."
The others remained silent. They admitted that what Hill said made sense. Given their identities and status, it was impossible for them to side with the separatists.
But after not seeing each other for so many days, it seems... a bit difficult to trust each other completely.
Finally, it was the captain who spoke up, "This is my lounge. Why did you bring us here?"
Hill was well aware of their situation, but he also knew that the other seven people had no idea what had happened to these people.
"Let me start from the beginning. Our starship was requisitioned shortly after it was hijacked..."
"Expropriation?" The seven were all stunned when they heard this, each with an expression of disbelief.
After Hill finished speaking, the seven of them fell silent - what the hell is this luck?
The captain was the first to react, "So, they are about to fight the star beasts. Are we going to watch the battle here?"
The lounge is divided into two rooms, the outer room has quite a lot of screens and can switch lenses to ensure that the captain is aware of the situation at all times.
"I wanted to join the war..." Hill spread his hands and said calmly, "I was rejected."
No one was surprised by his words, as everyone knew that Hill's fighting skills were very strong.
Only the captain shook his head, "It's not a good thing for you to get entangled with them."
Hill smiled and said, "As long as I can beat the star beast, I don't really care."
The first mate nodded and said, "Sir, the captain is right. You have a bright future ahead of you. There is no need to get too close to them."
Another A-level spoke up, "Quickly bring up the images and see what's going on with the Star Beast first."
Now the second team has started fighting with the star beasts.
The visibility in the nebula was very poor. When they discovered that the star beast was attacking, the distance between the two sides was less than two million kilometers.
Qu Jianlei's team was on the left, which was the direction from which the star beast was attacking.
Further to the left of their team, there was a regimental-level ship and three battalion-level ships - a fully staffed regiment of a certain self-defense force.
The star beasts pounced directly on the four ships, not taking them seriously at all, and swarmed over them.
At this time, everyone can already see the appearance of the star beast's nest.
It really looks a bit like a honeycomb, with densely packed holes on it. At first glance, it makes people with trypophobia feel sick.
The nest is roughly oval in shape, but its shape is not very regular and it moves very quickly.
Star nests of all sizes emitted colorful lights, directly focusing their fire on the four starships.
As for starships below the company level, the other side doesn't seem to take them seriously.
Fortunately, the crew members operating these starships were also experienced. Not only did they put up the protective shields, but they also dodged in time.
But even so, one battalion-level ship was seriously damaged and one was slightly damaged.
The regimental-level ships received the most concentrated fire, but due to their strong defenses, they only suffered minor damage.
However, the attacking star nest did not care about the results of the attack at all. It left some star nests to fight while the main force continued to rush forward.
Beyond these starships are the three starships of Qu Jianlei’s team.
The team leader immediately decided to ask Qu Jianlei and his team to hold on.
But the Fourth Master gave the order without hesitation, "Get away from them!"
Facing the opponent's crazy attack, he actually ordered a hard header. Isn't this eye-catching?
The three starships drew several strange arcs and actually avoided the concentrated fire.
The leader was furious when he saw this, "How dare you disobey military orders?"
"An order to die?" The fourth leader snorted coldly, "We are here to help carry out the hunting mission, not to be under your command!"
He didn't even bother to say anything more to the other party, "Fight back freely! Cooperate with the besieged friendly forces!"
The team leader was so angry that his nose was smoking. You are a soldier, do you know what it means to obey orders?
He originally planned to let these three starships hold out for a while, slowing down the opponent's attack while having time to deploy the fleet.
The team responsible for blocking will definitely pay a heavy price, but this is war!
Exchanging local losses for overall victory sounds cruel, but who doesn't fight wars this way?
Including a few days ago, the entire third team was almost defeated, but the first and second teams refused to leave, and it was because of this.
The Storm Chasers did not treat the requisitioned starships as cannon fodder, but when you are needed to take action, you have to hold on!
However, on the other hand, although they can command the conscripts, they are also part of the military.
It's okay to obey orders in general, but if someone is just cooperating to complete the task, and disobeying details is not necessarily a big mistake.
Given Hill's background, who can do anything to him as long as he doesn't make any mistakes in principle?
More importantly, their dodging was not because they were disobeying orders, but because they had a corresponding reason - they wanted to save their friendly forces!
Even on the battlefield, is there anything wrong with rescuing friendly forces?
When there are different interpretations of the battlefield situation, subordinates must obey their superiors unconditionally, but if they want to rescue friendly forces - there is an exception!
What's more, this subordinate is not just a pure subordinate!
Qu Jianlei's three starships avoided the sharp edge and launched an attack on the star nest at the same time.
They did not focus their fire on the mother nest or the daughter nests, firstly because they wanted to keep a low profile, and secondly... they didn't know the weaknesses of the star nest yet!
This is really a fucked-up thing. They wanted to know at first, but they couldn't find out no matter what they did, and they were even scolded.
Now, a second Asura nest has appeared, but they have no idea how to fight it.
If you don't know how to fight, then pick a smaller one first. The three starships concentrated their fire on a small nest with a diameter of more than two kilometers.
Fortunately, the control of the small lake is not an exaggeration.
Although the opponent's movements were quite erratic, most of the firepower still hit the small nest.
The two armed merchant ships only used their main guns because Big-Headed Butterfly was worried that the other weapons would not work.
This is what it had communicated with Qu Jianlei - it did accept the Fourth In Command's orders, but the details still needed to be discussed with the eldest boss.
Facts proved that what they thought was right. The main gun of the company-class ship hit the opponent, but after a burst of energy fluctuations, it was completely unharmed.
However, the power of the regimental-level ship's artillery fire was different. The secondary guns penetrated the energy barrier and caused certain damage.
The main gun was aimed a little crookedly, and the opponent was very sensitive to the main guns of the regimental-level ships, so it made a very erratic movement.
The result was mainly just a gap created directly on the edge of the small nest.
Qu Jianlei looked a little anxious, "You better aim a little better."
The big-headed butterfly quickly turned around twice, "This is my first time dealing with this thing too!"
Then it said in distress, "It's mainly because it's not human, and can't be measured by human thinking."
Compared with ground combat, the distance of space combat is very long, and several thousand kilometers is considered a close dogfight.
In the past, Xiao Hu was able to accurately hit starships that were hundreds of meters long because he had mastered the structure of starships and the human way of thinking.
Qualified crew members can make corresponding predictions based on the situation, and Xiaohu can predict the opponent's prediction.
Now that the opponent is the star beast nest, things are different.
Although the diameter of the Star Nest is more than two kilometers, Xiao Hu does not understand its structure and does not even understand its mobility.
It doesn't even know how to lock onto the opponent.
As for invading the other party's system? Don't even think about it, one is on the technological side, and the other is on the mysterious side.
Qu Jianlei was also anxious, so he said that. As soon as Xiao Hu explained, he reacted and said, "Continue to focus on that nest!"
The second round of concentrated fire completely blew up the small nest.
The explosion didn't matter, as more than ten humanoid star beasts, big and small, flew out.
One of them has six arms, three have four arms, and the rest have two arms.
The face of the six arms... couldn't be seen clearly because the distance was too far.
But looking at its size and shape, it should be quite ugly... right?
This guy was holding a heavy axe that was about five or six meters long, and the axe handle was nearly half a meter thick!
It raised its hand, and a white light attacked the armed merchant ship in the Jinyang Star Region.
The armed merchant ship controlled by Xiaohu had no problem dodging, but the white light actually turned!
Fortunately, the starship dodged with a large amplitude, and the white light finally passed by and finally disappeared into the nebula.
In Qu Jianlei's team, more than one person exclaimed, "...It's actually a tracking technique?"
However, this is not that magical. The Six-Armed Asura is equivalent to the Supreme, so it is not surprising that he can control tracking techniques.
The six-armed Ashura was furious and wanted to continue chasing the regimental-level ship, but the three starships had already run far away.
This Asura also used a method similar to Flash.
However, without a nest, even a real Jindan would not be able to chase starships in space by relying on the physical body.
In the blink of an eye, the three starships left them behind.
However, Qu Jianlei saw clearly that it was indeed an ugly Asura - a male.
At this moment, the leader roared again, "Attack, why not attack them?"
Destroying a small nest so quickly is a very impressive achievement in another more intense battlefield.
The battle on that battlefield lasted for more than ten days, and only more than sixty small nests were destroyed.
But how many casualties did the entire fleet suffer?
Now the second team was attacked, and the situation was quite bad.
However, being able to destroy a small nest at the beginning of the battle is still a very impressive record.
At the same time, the team leader knew very well that those free-roaming star beasts were also quite photogenic!
It would be great if we could take advantage of this opportunity to kill that supreme star beast.
Although a solitary star beast has high defense, it will be much easier to kill it after it leaves its nest.
At the very least, if the company-class ship's main guns fire a few more shots, the Supreme Star Beast can be destroyed. This is a rare opportunity.
