Counterfeit Hero

Volume 7 Chapter 1 Contact

When the shell of the [Polaris] cruiser, which could only spin in the starry sky, made a clanging sound under the feet of the space mecha, Stillman knew that his fate was over. Without power, any battleship is just a coffin in space!

Sitting blankly on the command podium, Stillman's hair was messy, his collar had been torn open, and his eyes looking at the console were completely unfocused. Until now, he didn’t know how he lost this battle in such a confused way. I don’t know who the opponent suddenly appeared.

However, decades of pirate career have made Stillman understand better than anyone else what it means to succeed and defeat bandits, and what it means to be a hero who knows the current affairs. At this point, any resistance and struggle are meaningless. He straightened his hair, buttoned up his collar, and made a decision simply: "Send the light signal, we surrender!"

In the silent space, the [Polaris] cruiser took the lead in raising the white flag, signaling a surrender. Immediately, a surviving destroyer and a frigate also turned off the propellers, extinguished the engines, and raised the white flag on the bow.

Stillman was never one to take death seriously, he was just a pirate.

Pirates are not warriors, they are just a profession that exists in the depths of the universe and uses robbery as a means. Without faith and dignity, there is naturally nothing to hold on to.

For Stillman, anything was possible as long as he could save his life. To those low-level pirates with low status, surrendering is just a matter of raising one's hand.Many of them are already used to it.

In battles between pirates, captured pirates usually do not lose their lives. Just surrender. They will naturally join the originally hostile camp. It's just a few beatings and a little punishment.

In space, things like this are normal. Pirates without personal freedom are like slaves. No matter who their master is, their situation is the same. There is no ridiculous dignity, just stay alive and wait for a day! No one would foolishly die loyally to the big and small bosses who oppressed and oppressed them all day long.

As the [Polaris] cruiser hatch opens. Twelve bandit space mechas swarmed in.

The first eight combat mechas, working in pairs, quickly took control of the most important hangar of the ship. Weapons depot, control room and power bay.

After ensuring safety, the last four troop transport mechas opened their hatches, and sixty fully armed bandit warriors quickly poured down the mecha's hatch door steps and divided into twelve squads. Under the urging and noisy shouts of each squad leader, Amidst the sound of footsteps, running entered an area beyond the control of the mecha. ·Carry out centralized personnel supervision and weapons clearance.

The entire operation was orderly, fast and quiet. Everyone knew what they were supposed to do and the cooperation between them was very tacit.

The low-level pirates, led by the big and small pirate leaders, stood on both sides of the passage tremblingly, raising their hands high, their eyes dull and their expressions numb.

They have completely lost the courage to resist. These soldiers in blue uniforms who appeared in the battleship seemed to them so capable and well-trained! It is this army. With seven shabby warships, almost the entire Devil's Eye pirate group was wiped out in one fell swoop...the pirates shuddered when they thought of the battle that had just ended.

It was a complete defeat. Before Stillman ordered the surrender, more than thirty large and small battleships were completely destroyed by this army. The whole battle took less than four hours! The Devil's Eye fleet could originally be ranked among the top five in the Mars Free Channel. It has become a thing of the past!

The bandit soldiers ran past the pirates with their hands raised on both sides of the passage without looking back. The dirty interior of the ship, the disheveled pirates, the frightened eyes, the dim lights, the disgusting smell of sweat... .....This scene seems familiar. ….

"Ivan...are you Ivan?" The crowd gathered towards the combat preparation hall with their hands raised. When passing by a bandit captain, an old pirate suddenly stared at the captain. The ground face screamed out loud. The level of surprise even made him ignore the bandit soldiers in front of him who pointed their guns at him.

The old pirate was sure that he would not admit his mistake.That was one of his roommates from many years ago. At the beginning.In the Devil's Eye Pirates. They are both low-level pirates who have been oppressed.In the final battle for the Golden Triangle area, this roommate. He was captured by the red-bearded pirate. Unexpectedly, today, he would be standing in front of him wearing a brand new and crisp uniform.

The dark-skinned bandit commander smiled, showing his white teeth: "Molly, I didn't expect you to recognize me. "

"Aren't you in the Red Beard Pirates..." The old pirate seemed to have remembered something, and quickly turned his head to look at the other few people not far away who were moving neatly and exuding strong energy. The soldier said in shock: "Could it be..."

Ivan shook his head, and there was an indescribable feeling of joy and pride on his face: "The Red Beard Pirates no longer exist!"

The old pirate Mo Li opened his mouth in surprise: "But...but, we just had a battle with the fleet led by Hairedin not long ago..."

Ivan smiled slightly, pointed to a Chinese character icon on the collar of his uniform and said: "The red-bearded pirates of the past have disappeared! Now, the fleet led by Hairedin is called the Second Bandit Fleet, and we are the bandits. Army’s First Fleet!”

"Bandit army..." The old pirate's turbid eyes looked at the symbol of teeth and claws on the chest of his former companion, and suddenly he felt in a trance.

***************************************************

"Liars, a bunch of liars!"

"Shameless! So shameless!"

"What's so shameless? It's simply despicable and extremely shameless!"

"These bastards! I really want to beat them all up one by one. I have never seen them so abominable!"

"Who are these people!"

The battleship was filled with uproar of condemnation.

The officers and soldiers of the Salga Longbow Fleet were emotionally deceived. All of them became furious and cursed. When I think of myself standing here solemnly and solemnly, with tears streaming down my face, while others are cheerfully teasing others, everyone is almost ready to kill.

After cursing for a long time, the conversation couldn't help but change and focused on the shabby cruiser.

"Tell me, what is that cruiser? It obviously exploded and disintegrated. And the explosion, those corpses, those fragments... are they all fake?" A maintenance soldier asked He wiped his hands full of engine oil with a dirty rag and made a sound.

"I've seen it. Who has seen such a battle? I have never heard of it." A gunner stood on tiptoes at the door, looking past the crowd of people in front of him. He stared at the virtual screen in the aisle in a daze.

"Hey, tell me, which shipyard designed this kind of warship? That designer is really a talent!" Among the people in the aisle, someone's loud voice was unknown, and there was excitement in his voice.

"Our Longbow Fleet has the opportunity to build two of these ships. In the free world, what jumping points can't be passed?" Another voice was not quiet. It's so loud that once you hear it, you can picture in your heart the tall and burly person of the voice.

"Isn't it just a split body? You can only take advantage once. If someone knows the details, what's the use of it?!" A lieutenant closest to the virtual screen turned around and shook his head: "With our [ Longbow] compared to heavy cruiser. This thing is far behind."

"That's right!" A soldier standing next to the lieutenant nodded his head, and it was natural that he would have his own ambition to destroy others' prestige: "I don't think there is anything difficult about this splitting technique."

"Isn't it difficult? You know nothing!" A sarcastic voice suppressed all the excited discussions. The noisy corridor suddenly became quiet. ….

The maintenance soldier in the spare parts cabin threw away the rag in his hand, pushed aside the gunner at the door, squeezed into the crowd, and said with a smile: "As for the expert, it is our senior director of the maintenance department, Lieutenant Colonel. Tell everyone. "

"That's right..." The officers and soldiers gathered around an officer in his fifties and urged in unison: "Lieutenant Colonel Bentel. You are the expert here. Tell everyone. .”

Bentel gave the soldier who just said it was not too difficult a blow and scolded: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. It's not too difficult. You can try to build one for me! Don't talk about you, it's just us Saler No shipyard in Canada can build such a ship!"

"real or fake?"

"so smart?"

Amid the commotion, Lieutenant Colonel Bentel sneered and said: "If we talk about split-hull ships, it's not complicated. Just add a decoupling link to the middle connecting rod on those catamaran ships. Damn it, he wants to It’s okay to separate when we are separated, but can something like that be used on the battlefield?”

After lighting a cigarette, Bentel pointed to several battleships on the screen, and continued: "This battleship may not look bad on the outside, but it's actually a treasure. Put it this way, when people didn't have splits, who of you Do you see this is a multihull ship?”

The officers and soldiers looked at each other and shook their heads. To be honest, from beginning to end, they thought it was a junk ship that came out of a scrap shipyard!

"At the beginning of the battle, his speed was not faster than [Longbow]?... Besides, [Longbow] dared to hit him head-on like this?" Bentel poked his head and turned his questioning eyes. After looking around, everyone looked embarrassed and silent, and then continued: "We can't look at the separate parts. If we want to look at them, we have to look at their performance when they are combined. If you can use multiple battleships to form a cruiser, this is not Simple. Can our cruisers be turned into a battleship by putting them together? Nonsense!

I have worked as a representative of Party A in the shipyard for so many years, and I have guarded the construction site of many ships! The internal structure, engine system, weapon system, living area, energy cover...all must be combined into one when combined, and then combined into one when separated. You have no idea how much technology this involves.

The most important thing is that you haven't understood it yet. This battleship is the core of their new space tactics. We have served for so many years and fought many wars. Who would have thought that wars could be fought like this? With this new tactic alone, the value of this ship is dozens of times higher than our [Longbow]! "

Bentel's words caused a commotion, and the officers and soldiers whispered to each other. There are those who agree. There are also those who are stubborn and unconvinced.

But Bentel sighed quietly and said slowly: "If our longbow fleet could have such technology and tactics, General Tolstoy, maybe..."

As he spoke, Bentel's eyes turned red.

All arguments ceased in the hallway. There was dead silence.

************************************************

Fang Xiang knew it after seeing the ragged fleet achieve a complete victory with this extremely alternative tactic. In this game of chess, I probably have no chance.

That mysterious opponent has already calculated everything that can be calculated. Fang Xiang would not naively think that such people would allow the Endeavor to occupy the pirate base. Whether the two sides are enemies or friends, the commander of the opposing fleet will not hand over the initiative to the Salega fleet.

Once enough energy is obtained by the Salega fleet, then. The situation is beyond their control.

Sure enough, soon, two pieces of news came one after another, which confirmed Fang Xiang's judgment.

The first message was from the main fleet located in the adjacent de-4543 galaxy.The news said that an unidentified fleet appeared around them. The other party did not make any hostile actions and did not respond to the signals sent by the fleet. He just stayed there quietly, monitoring the movements of the aircraft carrier and several other warships.

The second message was sent by Fenyong. They still failed to enter the pirate base because, when they were preparing to pass through the meteorite group, they were blocked by an armed merchant ship that looked exactly like the warships of the Ragged Fleet - that warship. came out of the pirate base. ….

No one understands Fang Xiang's mood at the moment.

It was a feeling of frustration, being trapped in an intellectual trap but unable to struggle.

Although Fang Xiang can use the Salega fleet to defeat all odds and has no more cards to use to excuse herself, Fang Xiang also understands that if she is put in the opponent's position, she will never win this battle with zero casualties. and captured the pirate's cruiser.

Who is the other party?

"Rear Admiral..." Cecilia stood at attention and saluted: "The reconnaissance ship sent a communication code. "

"Put on the communication channel." Fang Xiang sat upright and straightened his uniform. ·Twist a few strands of hair hanging down from your forehead behind your ears.

The answer. It’s finally about to be revealed.

The rotating light group on the virtual screen disappeared, and a middle-aged man wearing a blue uniform appeared in front of Fang Xiang with a smile.

"Nice to meet you. Major General." The middle-aged man said: "Captain Chekov of the destroyer Blue Rose of the Leray Federation Space Fleet, salute you!"

"LeRae?!"

Everyone on the battleship was stunned.

This elite and fierce fleet comes from Leray, a country that is suffering in the flames of war?

"Hello, Captain Chekov." Fang Xiang quickly recovered from the shock and asked: "Why are you here? This fleet... I mean, this is Le Lei’s battleship?”

"Haha, it's a long story." Chekov smiled slightly, briefly told the story of the Blue Rose destroyer's exile in the free world, and then said: "...So, these The warships are all modified and built by us. Although they are not part of the Leray military establishment, they still belong to Leray. "

Everyone in the bridge control room was so surprised that they couldn't help themselves. The almost legendary experience of the Blue Rose made them unable to believe their ears.

"Tian Xingjian?" Fang Xiang muttered the name that kept appearing in Chekov's mouth and asked: "Then, how do you know that we are here, know the location of our main force, and even know our current predicament?"

"You have to ask Colonel Tian." Chekov said with a smile: "I am just executing the order. I hope that our appearance will be timely for our closest allies. Before we came, Colonel Tian had repeatedly explained , we would rather fight until the whole army is annihilated than rescue you!"

"That's nice to say! These guys in front of me are so cunning. They have everything under control, so they came here to sell it." Fang Xiang was despised in her heart, but she had to say: "The officers and soldiers of the Salega Longbow Fleet feel the same way. Virtue. We will definitely repay this kindness a hundredfold in the future. "

"This is what we should do." Chekov seemed not to understand the meaning of Fang Xiang's words at all, and waved his hands repeatedly: "We have always admired the patriotic enthusiasm of the old General Tolstoy and the bravery and tenacity of the Longbow Fleet. . Now that we have met, there is absolutely no reason to sit idly by. Besides, since we are all in the same situation, we should join hands. After all, there is strength in numbers!"

Fang Xiang was stuffy, and with Chekov's last words, the fox's tail was revealed. but. Don't mention that they just saved themselves, just talk about the current situation of this fleet. It is not up to Fang Xiang to make other choices. Moreover, if the old Tolstoy was still alive, he would definitely cooperate with the Leray fleet based on his feelings for Leray. After all, people have now opened up the situation here.

Before she could speak, Chekov continued: "This is not far from our landlord base, and we have robbed a lot of things recently. You don't have to worry about supplies. Moreover, we have a dock where we can repair and modify ships." "Chekov smiled with confidence on his face: "In the free world, such a giant ship cannot come and go freely. "

Fang Xiang was silent. Chekhov's last words hit her hard. With the size of the [Napoleon] battleship, most places are inaccessible in the free shipping lanes that are as dense as a spider web. Not to mention aircraft carriers. ….

If she hadn't seen the detachable cruiser, Fang Xiang wouldn't have understood it, but now, the benefits of this kind of modification were clearly in front of her, making it impossible for her to turn a blind eye!

Now. What everyone needs to discuss is how to cooperate.

Fang Xiang stared into Chekov's eyes and said seriously: "I think I need to have a good talk with your Colonel Tian. "

**********************************************

The deserted streets have regained some vitality.

People walked back and forth in a hurry, each busy. They were either queuing up at the grocery store or exchanging greetings with acquaintances they met by chance on the street, lamenting their experiences during this period. Or nervously waiting for a job in the company reception hall, or going to the cemetery with flowers for an hour or two, or else. Just stand on the street selling some things that can be sold at home.

The sound of cannons and explosions in the central city of Mars in the distance. From early morning to late at night, it kept ringing.

These violent sounds were irregular. sometimes. Like thunder in the ears, sometimes it is far away and faint in the sky. In short, it goes on and on, rarely stopping.

If by chance the sound of artillery fire could not be heard for more than two minutes, people would look at each other in surprise and wait in confusion. Usually at this time, the sound of cannons and explosions will come again. Then, people can continue to do their own things with peace of mind.

This is Puluo Town, the sound of cannons is still dozens of kilometers away from here. This distance is enough for people hiding in corners to walk out into the sunshine and live their lives in fear. Although it is not very stable, compared with the poor people in Central City, Puluo Town is paradise.

The three major factions and the Northern Alliance are constantly attacking, and battles between the major forces also occur one after another.However, no matter how noisy they are, the people in Puluo Town don't care.

Even if they bombard Tiandu, at least our bandit army will be there to hold them back in Puluo Town!

Our bandit army! This is what people living in Puluo Town say when they see the sky. These five words contain their identification with this army and even a sense of pride in it. It is because of the bandits stationed here that when the Mars Freeport was filled with war and smoke, the town of Plo, where the war broke out, became the most peaceful place.

No one dares to provoke the bandits, not before, and even less now!

Just two days ago, news shocked the free world.

Black Dragon Path, Meishin Ryu, Qian Jun Dao and Hanaxingmen suddenly jointly issued an announcement to join the faction mutual aid alliance. Immediately, all personnel from their respective defense areas were dispatched. The four torrents echoed each other and passed through nearly fifty blocks of ten districts in the west of the central city. Head towards the town of Polo.

At the same time, all the elite bandit troops in Puluo Town came out, and the defense line moved outside to a place less than two kilometers away from the ring line in the west district of the central city. One hundred and twenty [Hengdao] led 400 modified private mechas, roaming in a fan-shaped area of ​​more than 100 square kilometers, eyeing all the separatist forces in the Western District.

Mars Freeport, which was already in extreme chaos, is like pouring another ladle of water into the boiling pot! Suddenly there were shouts of exclamation. No one can understand. When did the four major factions merge with the bandits?

When the mighty mecha clusters and convoys of the four major factions advanced westward through the central city, they encountered no obstacles!

This world only recognizes strength. The last scene of the bandits' long-distance attack through the eleven lines of defense is still vivid in my mind. Those separatist armed forces were robbed of their territory and disappeared completely. This is a lesson learned from the past. Now, the bandit army is on the edge of the western front. What does that mean? Who can’t understand it?

Just leave them to me and be obedient!

Cleverly, the major forces along the way, with an almost flattering attitude, withdrew their poor defenses, and beat gongs and drums to welcome and escort the four major factions through their defense areas. ….

When the four major factions flowed through the central city's west district and merged into Puluo Town without firing a shot, the bandits immediately withdrew.Retreat dozens of kilometers and maintain the original defense line. In the blink of an eye, everything seemed to be calm.

However, the impact of this major incident is obviously impossible not to stir up some waves. What happened next made the Mars Freeport, which had just calmed down, boil again.

On the second day after the four major sects entered Puluo Town, Baoyudao, located in the eastern part of the central city, suddenly announced that it would join the faction mutual aid alliance.Leave immediately for the town of Puluo. An hour later, Shajiamen announced that it would join the faction mutual aid alliance. Forty minutes later, Kruliu announced that he would join the Mutual Aid Alliance.

Hough Mecha Hall, Carter Mecha Hall, Iron Warrior Mecha Hall, Qingshan Mecha Hall...the declarations one after another are overwhelming. Like dominoes being toppled. On this day, six medium-sized schools and fourteen mecha halls made the same decision.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the bandit army, which was originally a small and medium-sized force in terms of numbers, turned into a behemoth!

"No matter the Northern Business Alliance or the three major factions, if they dare to come, our bandit army will beat their heads into the a**!"

This was said by a guy who was standing on the street of Puluo Town two days ago, cheering for the bandits' mecha troops and chatting with his companions while frothing at the mouth.

Although the words are vulgar. But everyone who hears this. Everyone nodded quickly! ——Just look at the mecha teams from different schools in front of you, and then look at the reinforced defense lines built around Puro Town and the armored troops deployed to defend the bandits. People believe that no one dares to come here and feel uncomfortable.

No matter what the future holds, with the bandits here, everyone can always enjoy a few peaceful days!

To the west of Luoye Lake in Puluo Town, the terrain is slightly higher. Because it is close to the No. 7 Resource Highway that surrounds Mars Harbor from east to west, a small hill was originally bulldozed and built into a large transport ship. Landing airport.This is the largest of the ten ground airports in Protown.It is also the one with the most complete facilities and the most advanced facilities.

This airport, located at the highest point in Puluo Town, not only has corresponding take-off and landing channels with five space ports, but also has a large maintenance dock, a passenger and cargo transfer center, a large storage base, a small supporting industrial zone, a transportation base, and Living areas including high-end hotels, hotels, restaurants, residences, etc. It is not an exaggeration to call it a miniature city.

However, the airport called Scadilvo is now surrounded and has become the main base of the bandits.

Every day, people in Puluo Town can see groups of mechas coming out of the airport, passing through the spider web-like highway, and spreading out in all directions. It is the handover of daily defense by the bandits. From time to time, you can also see a convoy of heavy trucks escorted by mechas driving up the mountain in an endless stream, disappearing after entering a special road with deep forests and dense leaves.

At night, from Puluo Town, the airport, which is much higher than the average altitude, is brightly lit. If you get closer, you can hear the faint sounds of people, as if it is a huge factory working overtime.

Whenever people see this place, they feel at ease.

The sunshine in early summer is not too vicious.In the slightly cold wind in Puluo Town, the sun is so warm that I want to close my eyes and take a nap. Helen set up the camera in the center of the huge landing pad No. 2 at Skardivo Airport.Concentrate on shooting.

Her long blond hair was pulled up high and tied loosely with a hairband at the back of her head. Showing her elegant and white neck like a swan. She was bent over, with her firm breasts, slender waist and round buttocks tightly wrapped by the blue uniform, revealing her curves. ….

The bandit warriors who had lived in high and low places would always subconsciously take one more look in that direction. Whether you are a new member or a bandit soldier who has joined from the beginning, you cannot resist the temptation of this beauty.

Whenever they see Helen, they always sigh that only God can create such a masterpiece of stunning beauty.

Trucks loaded with supplies, towed by transport mechas, clanked past the airport road next to the landing pad, and countless bandit soldiers were rushing back and forth. From time to time, I would jog and jump on a bicycle rail car. After arriving at my destination, I would jump off again and go in and out of the airport building.

The repair rack in the open-air dock in the distance has been set up, and the two transport ships are undergoing maintenance. Further away, landing pads No. 5 and No. 6 have been turned into training grounds. Various mechas are galloping around in the training grounds.

There is also an invisible supporting industrial area where mecha modifications are being carried out in full swing. The faint roar of various machines adds a bit of excitement to this busy scene.

Helen gently brushed the long hair hanging around her ears, untied the hairpin, and pinned it again. Eyes, but reluctant to leave the camera lens for a moment.Since arriving in Scadilvo, she has been shooting non-stop every day, and she cannot put it down in every place in this base.

She still can't believe that all of this belongs to the bandit army!

From an escaped destroyer to a pirate base, from a mecha branch of a genre to stirring up the free world and becoming famous in one battle. From the Phantom Flow to the four major schools to the small and medium-sized schools that have come to invest, from the nearly ruined First Avenue in Protown to the current bandit base that was originally an airport...

Everything is like a dream.

It seems that without even realizing it, the bandit army has grown.The fat man’s heroic words when he stood under the statue in the pirate base are no longer a vain fantasy.

Helen would move the camera to capture several scientists who were arguing in front of the information desk under the elevated dock. Those Frankensteins were working so hard that they forgot all about food and sleep, but Fatty had beaten them all the way to pick them up! In the past two days, many sporadic scientists and mechanics have come to Puluo.

Not only what is happening in front of me, but I heard that the fleet led by Chekov has also won the battle. Not only did they annihilate the main fleet of the Devil's Eye, capture Stillman, and occupy the pirate base, they even obtained an aircraft carrier, two battleships, and five cruisers, along with thousands of combat-experienced Sarga space warriors. Fleet warrior.

Thinking of this, Helen couldn't help but reveal a playful smile. It was as beautiful as blooming flowers, and the two bandit soldiers who passed by her almost bumped into each other.

Apart from Markovich, only Helen, who spent time with Fatty day and night, knew about the news about the Salega fleet. Helen felt sweet in her heart for the fat man's natural trust. And when she thought of this guy's face when he was bargaining unceremoniously with the pretty female major general before she left the room, Helen couldn't help but want to laugh.

She was a beautiful woman whose mature charm made even Helen jealous. That fat guy almost made that beautiful commander angry to death.
