    Chapter 164 Yarnis

    The space fluctuation detector behind Galang made a piercing alarm sound. The sudden sound made the frightened Galang tremble all over.  He cursed and muttered. Ever since the special ship counter-jumped along the jump channel where the Charno people escaped, this sensitive space fluctuation detector has always emitted several frightening alarm sounds from time to time.  For this reason, Captain Thales of the alert fleet had reprimanded him many times for sending out false alarms.  However, after experiencing the Charno attack, Galang did not dare to be careless again.  If he makes another mistake, he may be sent to a military court.

    Galang turned around and tinkered with the real-time recording of the space fluctuation detector. A set of starship jump data appeared on the screen. "Oh my God!" Galang couldn't help but exclaimed. He couldn't believe his eyes.  :Those damn Charnorians are back.  The spatial fluctuation record was exactly the same as the data detected a few days ago. Galang hurriedly pressed the red alarm button.  The shrill alarm sounded throughout Tesno.

    Yarnis - the seat of the Empire's frontline headquarters, is located behind the Empire's defense line, about two hours' drive from Tesno.  This is a huge metal space city made of metal. The oval ring structure slowly rotates around a heavy metal axis. Seventeen metal pipes with a radius of more than 20 meters are connected to the central metal axis. A special artificial gravity simulation system makes life  The staff at Yarnis is ground level and comfortable.

    From the outside, this man-made celestial body, which serves as the command center of the imperial army, resembles a rotating gyroscope. At both ends of the metal axis are battlefield communication towers composed of various communication antennas, surrounding the main body of the ring mechanism every ten kilometers.  There is a fighter jet nozzle.  This is Yarnis' primary defense weapon: starfighters.  Yarnis's defense concept refutes the design of the heavy ground defense cannon of Charno Battle Fortress. In a sense, Yarnis is more like a huge interstellar aircraft carrier.  The Imperials, who have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, do not need that bulky space fortress to enhance their firepower density. They are the offensive party.  The ultra-long-range detection range and the escort of tens of thousands of starfighters are enough to ensure the safety of Yarnis.  The most important thing is that under normal circumstances, there are always no less than four main star fleets stationed around Yarnis.

    Jialie stayed in the imperial combat command center located in the middle of the metal shaft with his eyebrows furrowed. In front of him was the intelligence that had just been transmitted from the Tesno monitoring point.  The way the Charnorians once again broke through the jump point and returned to the vicinity of Tesno was completely unexpected. It was obviously a very adventurous military operation, and the commander who directed this operation was probably someone who had just returned from the Empire.  The young General Charnot who slipped from the tips of human fingers.  The question is, what are these Charno people doing again?  The same starship, the same size, and the perfectly consistent space fluctuations indicate that the star fleet that destroyed a large amount of supplies in Tesno's logistics reserve center a few days ago seems to be back again.  Although this was hard to believe, Gallie still had to accept the judgment of the intelligence headquarters: this fleet was headed for Yarnis.

    "Where is the Chalnorian starship currently located?"

    "The intelligence department is still pursuing it. They activated the concealment system after leaving the jump point."

    "What else are you checking? Order the tower to scan all the space from Tesno to Yarnis. The Charno people are coming for us. The fighter jet group is in the air, on first level alert."

    "Yes, General."

    "Yarnis?" Garret tapped the table gently, with a thoughtful expression on his face.  The momentary hesitation on the adjutant's face when he just left did not escape Jia Lie's keen eyes. He knew what the adjutant wanted to say.  At this moment, Yarnis only retains one-third of its original starfighters, and all other forces are devoted to the battle of Kador.  But Gallie is still preparing for a head-on confrontation with General Charno. The reason is not that Gallie trusts the defense force of Yarnis, but that his "Fire" fleet is coming from the rear day and night.  Cador.  According to the information provided by the high command, the "Fire" fleet will arrive in Yarnis in four Earth hours.  But based on his understanding of his fleet, it might not take four Earth hours.  It would take at least two hours for the Charno people to get from the jump point to Yarnis, which meant that as long as Yarnis's defense force could withstand it for an hour, Yarnis's dilemma would be solved.

    Many Imperial transport ships heading to the front line on the interstellar route to Yarnis were surprised to find that a Charnian interstellar fleet flashed past the huge hull of the transport ship.  The captains who were startled into a cold sweat desperately sent questioning messages to the headquarters. They did not understand why a Charno fleet appeared in their rear areas.

    Wu Wei looked greedily at the Imperial transport ships that were left behind by the Guards. These giant, defenseless transport ships looked so tempting.  HoweverIn order to save energy, Yi Lexiang strictly ordered starships not to attack giant transport ships that had no offensive capabilities.  Yarnis is their target.

    "The Imperial fighter plane was discovered."

    "Strange, how could the imperial fighter plane come so far?" Wu Wei calculated the distance in space strangely.  This place is still some distance from Yarnis, and it stands to reason that the energy of the fighter plane is not enough for them to complete a round trip.

    "Order the fleet to prepare for battle. This is a suicide action." Yi Lexiang connected to the command channel of the whole ship. "Every ship should be careful not to get too entangled with enemy fighters and maintain full speed."

    Intensive artillery fire began to pour out, and the dark starry sky was instantly illuminated by the energy cannon's beam as if it were daytime.  The Imperial fighter planes pounced on the Guards starships without fear of death.  The small-caliber energy cannon of the star fighter is not a big threat to the starship with the energy shield deployed. The pilots of the imperial fighter also know this very well. They drive the fighter directly into the energy shield. The high-speed starship is now  Like a rampaging high-speed train, many fighters that could not dodge directly hit the front protective armor of the starship, shooting out dazzling sparks.  More fighters were shot down by intensive anti-aircraft fire, but many fighters still successfully passed through the energy shield and desperately released space torpedoes.  The alloy warhead carrying huge kinetic energy pierced the thick armor wall on the outside of the starship, and then exploded inside the starship.  The exchange of fire between the two sides was so sudden and fast that the Imperial fighter planes had no time to target the weak parts of the starships to launch attacks. Therefore, although some starships seemed to be shrouded in fire from the outside, the actual damage caused was not serious.  The duration of the firefight was very short, and the formation of more than 300 Imperial fighter planes was wiped out in just ten minutes.

    Yi Lexiang's face was not as relaxed as the battle was over. This batch of fighter planes was just one of the many fighter plane formations released by the empire.  After confirming the coordinates of the Guards, attacks from Imperial fighter planes will follow.

    "Fortunately, the loss is not too big," Wu Wei said with a relaxed expression as he checked the battle damage reports reported by each ship.

    "Wu Wei, why do you think the Imperials launched an attack at such a long distance?" Yi Lexiang didn't seem to hear Wu Wei's reply, but asked thoughtfully.

    "It's simple. The Empire wants to intercept us outside their outer defense line."

    "Bullshit!" Yi Lexiang couldn't help but swore, "Do you think Jie Lie is as stupid as you? These fighters are simply executing suicide attacks. Their energy is not enough for them to fly back to Yarnis. Press  What you say is that once we fight all the way to Yarnis, without any reinforcement from external defense forces, how can we resist our starship attack?"

    "Interstellar warfare is not my strong suit. Well, tell me why Jialie did this." Wu Wei looked helpless.

    "I think Jie Lie seems to be deliberately delaying time."

    "Delaying time? It doesn't make sense, unless he cancels the plan to attack across the board." Wu Wei shook his head. Yi Lexiang's inference seemed a bit unreasonable.  At this time, the enemy and ourselves in Kador are completely entangled, and any evacuation action is likely to cause a chain reaction and affect the direction of the entire battle.  Although the Imperial people take the initiative on the battlefield, they only gain it over time.  Time is extremely precious to both the Empire and Charno.  The Imperials must maintain a high intensity of attack in order to break through Cardor's strong defenses before their special fleet is annihilated.  Any reduction in troop strength from the front line may undermine the success of the planned operation.

    "Perhaps Jialie has some back-ups that we haven't thought of." Yi Lexiang murmured to himself. It was an unrealistic idea to expect a famous interstellar general to make mistakes. So what did he miss?  Or maybe Jia Lie holds some trump card that he doesn't know about.  He didn't believe that a long-established interstellar star like Jie Lie would spend his precious life in a life-threatening showdown with a young boy like him who had just become famous.  There must be something hidden in Jia Lie's abnormal command.

    The speed of the starship did not slow down because of Yi Lexiang's doubts. Imperial fighter planes attacked the fleet from four to eight directions.  At this moment, the Guards looked like a giant light ball full of light thorns flying forward quickly in the empty interstellar space. Groups of imperial fighter planes surrounded this fast-flying light ball as if they were angry.  Ma Feng.  Under the command of Yi Lexiang, the Guards kept changing various formations, wrapping the severely damaged starships tightly inside their formations. Any starships that escaped from the formation would immediately be bombed by the frantically attacking imperial fighter jets.  into pieces.  At this moment, the busiest personnel in the entire fleet were the greasy-faced mechanics, who were seizing every moment to repair the dilapidated starships.

    Finally, Yarnis' huge body appeared in the sight of the Guards, and the starship rushed towards the artificial celestial body without slowing down.  The green landing lights inside the battleship flashed constantly, and the equipment was ready.The launched mecha stood up suddenly.  Yarnis's space cannon began to roar, and the starship swayed left and right to avoid the intensive artillery fire from the ground. More imperial fighters swarmed in, and the densely packed fighter planes almost covered the huge hull of the starship.

    "Damn, the Imperials have too many fighter planes. We have no way to release the landing craft." Wu Wei tightly grasped the metal handrails on both sides of the tactical platform and shouted angrily.

    "Then crash in!" Yi Lexiang shouted at the confidential staff waiting for instructions.

    In the astonished eyes of the imperial people, nearly three hundred Charno starships crashed straight into the huge ring structure of the space city.
