    Chapter 232 Herbie Nebula

    The time was pushed back to the fifth day after the Battle of Crete, and the Charno headquarters finally realized that something was wrong.  The Combined Fleet has not contacted the headquarters for four days.  According to the prior strategic deployment, the combined fleet should carry the Sixth Corps back to the defense zone near the planet Yabols at this time, where preparations for a grand welcome ceremony have already been completed.

    The intelligence personnel in the occupied areas returned even more worrying news. There were signs of large-scale mobilization in the Imperial defense area.  After paying a huge price, the intelligence headquarters still has not figured out what is happening on the other side of the starry sky.  But bad news came one after another. Several interstellar fleets with unknown numbers appeared in the Imperial defense zone. There was even news that the Empire's S-class fleet was found. Although this news was unconfirmed, it was enough to make people sitting in the headquarters  Bo Jiangang and others were restless.

    After a long wait, the Democratic Alliance is finally ready to intervene in this war.  But at this critical moment, Charno lost their general.

    Bo Jiangang planned several exploratory attacks but found nothing.

    At this moment, Bo Jiangang was sitting quietly in his large and bright office, with the three-dimensional communicator on the table connected.

    "No news yet?" Lieutenant General Bu Yun's voice sounded a bit harsh in the quiet room.

    Bo Jiangang shook his head. He could feel the reproach that his best friend and partner was suppressing deep in his heart.  "The Empire built a large number of energy field transmitters on the edge of the defense zone, and communications were suppressed." Bo Jiangang did not continue.  He knew that Bu Yun understood what he meant, and the imperial people were definitely not targeting Charno by doing this.

    "At any cost!" Bu Yun hung up the communication.

    Bo Jiangang stared blankly at the disappearing images. There was a faint noise outside the window. It was the people celebrating the news that the Democratic Alliance had sent troops.  But Bo Jiangang felt a chill coming from the bottom of his heart and spreading all over his body.  He couldn't imagine what would happen next if Charno really lost Yi Lexiang.  He walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked out from the 156-meter-high room. After the disaster, the capital star was gradually returning to its former prosperity and bustle, and the land destroyed by the flood in the distance was once again showing a touch of green.

    He hurried back to his desk and pressed the button on the desk.  Twenty minutes later, an urgent order stamped with the emblem of the Charno command was sent from the capital star to the entire Charno.

    The command is as follows:

    The supreme commanders of all theaters and fleets, after study by the Supreme Military Council and the High Command of Charno, all units will immediately organize special operations detachments to launch unlimited special operations penetration into the imperial defense zone from the date of receipt of this order.

    Combat purpose:

    1. Destroy enemy logistics supply lines.

    2. Hunt down the enemy¡¯s high-level commanders.

    3. Collect all possible information.

    This operation shall not be terminated before receiving orders from the headquarters.

    ?Added note: Regardless of sacrifice, strength must not be preserved at all costs, and those who disobey orders will be subject to military law!

    This is a murderous combat order.

    This is an unprecedented combat order in the history of Charno. "Unlimited" means that interstellar conventions are not followed in the battle, and civilian casualties can be ignored. Everything is aimed at destroying the enemy to the maximum extent.  The Charno military community was in an uproar!

    Everyone realized that something extraordinary must have happened.

    The Herbie Nebula, a vast and thin nebula covering a distance of about three light-years in space, is located near the Yetisyak planet system.  The residual particle flow after the supernova explosion provides a natural barrier for the fleet.  Three days ago, the combined fleet rushed through the space gate and has been hiding here since then.  During the battle at Toltai Freeport, Yi Lexiang accidentally discovered an interstellar map from the Xia family's computer system. There were many secret space gates in the map that only the Freemen's Alliance knew about.  In line with the principle of appropriation, Yi Lexiang took it as his own without hesitation.  Unexpectedly, that interstellar map played a huge role here.

    "General, what should we do next?" Chen Yatian still looked carefree and didn't care.  In his opinion, as long as he was with the general, there was nothing to worry about.  He was even a little complacent in his heart. Wu Wei and Xin Qiang were left behind on the Capital Star during this expedition.  Wu Wei needs to coordinate the command authority of the "Ninth Fleet" and "Abyss Fleet" with the headquarters. Xin Qiang is temporarily appointed as the capital star security commander to be responsible for the security work of the capital star. This time when he goes back to Xin Qiang, that big horse monkey will probably have to do it again.  Because I didn¡¯t get to catch such a wonderful scene, I jumped and scolded my mother.

    "It's not an option to stay in this place where birds don't poop." Chen Yatian said, scratching his head.  There is nothing in this nebula??With the existence of a solid planet, there is no place to replenish fuel and supplies. The fleet's energy reserves for two consecutive combat operations are running low, and combat readiness materials are even more severely consumed.

    "Oh, of course I know." Yi Lexiang sighed, "But the imperial fleet outside is wandering around like a mad dog. Once our position is exposed, I'm afraid we won't be as lucky as last time."

    The fleet¡¯s reserve energy is no longer enough to jump directly to Charno¡¯s actual control area, so although the fleet is no longer within the coverage of the energy position at this moment, Yi Lexiang is still at a loss.

    He looked at the starry sky map obtained from the Xia family, and he was afraid that he would have to make a fuss about it.  The Jetsyak planet system is definitely not allowed to go, even though it is currently the closest supply point to the fleet.

    Yi Lexiang's eyes moved to the core of the Herbie Nebula. The starry sky map showed that there was a space gate there.  As for the problem, there is no record on the starry sky map where this space door leads. It is probably an unexplored space door.  This is undoubtedly a very confusing matter.

    The universe is filled with space gates, large and small, that lead to everywhere, but not all space gates are safe.  For example, in the early days of interstellar exploration, people did not realize that there might be huge dangers on the other side of the space gate.  At that time, the Earth Federation had not yet disintegrated, and a joint military-scientific fleet of 200,000 people had suffered a tragic fate.  Jumping directly to the vicinity of a star that was entering a period of decline, the violent energy storm destroyed the fleet almost instantly. In the end, only a few starships escaped.  Since then, space gate exploration has actually been included in the Interstellar Exploration Act.

    In addition, space doors are not completely two-way. Some space doors only allow entry from one side, but cannot return.  Without knowing where exactly there is on the other side of the space gate, once you enter, you may never be able to return to the human kingdom.

    Yi Lexiang thought for a while and called the fleet's science and technology officer to the command bridge.  Sometimes, this kind of thing requires professional advice.

    Wang Shaodong, a top student at Charno Interstellar University, is 32 years old this year. After graduating from Interstellar University, he was admitted to Starfleet Academy, where he majored in interstellar meteorology and planetary orbitology. He went on an expedition to Annoki with the task force a few years ago and has been working on the task force.  Fleet service.  A year ago, he joined the Guards Starfleet during the expansion of the Guards and has served as the technical officer of the new flagship to this day.

    "The key to the problem is not to explore the space gate. The equipment on our fleet is enough to complete this task." Wang Shaodong's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the new starry sky map. After listening to Yi Lexiang's question, he said  .

    His finger slowly passed through the core of the Herbie Nebula, "Strictly speaking, the Herbie Nebula is the remnant of a supernova explosion. It has its own nebula core."

    "What does this mean?"

    "This space gate is very close to the nebula core, which means that the gravitational effect on the fleet at that space location will be very large."

    "Big enough to threaten the safety of the fleet?"

    "That's not the case! The key lies in the current energy reserves of the fleet. Exploring the space gate requires a long process. I'm afraid the fleet cannot afford it."

    Yi Lexiang understood what Wang Shaodong meant. He smiled and shook his head, "We don't necessarily need the entire fleet to enter the area near the nebula core. Let's send a few ships over first to see if the situation is different."

    Wang Shaodong was stunned, and then suddenly realized.  He grinned sheepishly, "I stay in the laboratory down there all the time, and my brain is a little stiff."

    However, there are always many unexpected things in this world. A staff officer responsible for monitoring the airspace interrupted the conversation of several people.

    "General, the Imperial fleet has been discovered!"

    "What scale?"

    "The other party has implemented tactical shielding, which cannot be confirmed. However, through the analysis of the shielding system just now, the analyst believes that it is at least the size of an A-class fleet."

    "No way!" Chen Yatian let out a scream.  As soon as a seemingly possible solution to the current fleet dilemma was found here, the Imperials appeared.  Is this the so-called blessing and misfortune?

    Yi Lexiang also showed a trace of annoyance on his face, which was quite a coincidence.  He hurriedly walked down the command bridge and walked to the starry sky detector, "Can you predict the actions of the Imperial people?"

    "Reporting to the general, it is initially estimated that the enemy is conducting a tactical search, and they should be enemies coming from the planet Yetsyak."

    "Jetsyak?" Yi Lexiang took over the imperial troop deployment record in the nearby star field from the adjutant. There was no A-class fleet stationed in Yetesyak.  "The situation is not good. I'm afraid the enemy's reinforcements have arrived."

    "How long will it take for contact?"

    "If we keep our current position unchanged, it will take about three Earth hours."

      Three hours is enough for the fleet to move into the nebula, but such a huge interstellar fleet will always leave some clues.  For example, the energy residue of the propeller, the abnormal fluctuations of the surrounding nebula, in short, the exposure of the combined fleet is inevitable.  The Imperials can follow the traces left by the fleet and pursue them all the way down.  Not to mention the other imperial fleets swarming around.

    The area of ??the Herbie Nebula is about three light-years in size. Judging from the area alone, it is enough for the combined fleet to deal with the Imperials for a while.  The problem is that the fleet's energy can't last long.

    "How about we dance for a while!" Chen Yatian pointed to the starry sky map projected in the sky.
