A Mere Captain?
Chaotic Star Regions are those located within the territory of the Galactic Federation but not under its actual control.
In such a large galaxy as the Milky Way, there are many Chaotic Star Region like this.
Kavin is currently in the Chaotic Star Region, but not in this WA Star Sector.
"Attention everyone! The Silver Mutual Aid Society is not an association, but an independent regime disguised as one."
"The ultimate goal of our entire mission is to eliminate the regime it established."
Captain Boren then gave a detailed overview of the Federation's conscription mission.
In fact, even if Marquez had slaughtered his own civilization, it wouldn't have been considered a major event in the Galactic Federation.
The pursuit and enforcement of arrest warrants will only be carried out by personnel dispatched by this civilization itself.
This principle applies to the Galactic Federation. If Lister were to defect from the Arcane Civilization Army, he would only be wanted and pursued by the Arcane Civilization Army, or at most by the Arcane Civilization.
Only members of the Central Army who defect will be placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Federation Military District Headquarters.
This is also why many wanted criminals can live well in the galaxy.
However, this is problematic when it comes to independent regimes, especially those attempting to overthrow the Galactic Federation.
No matter how weak their strength or how ridiculous their regime, they will be subjected to the full force of the Galactic Federation.
"Thump~"
The slight turbulence that occurred during the meeting was likely due to the warship colliding with a small celestial body.
Looking out the window, the entire space scene was somewhat Twist; clearly, the A73 warship was traveling at full speed towards the WA-27 Star Sector.
"This is the map of our designated offensive route, number three."
On the holographic image of the star field, a total of six lines were fully marked.
Among them, S27 served as the lead warship, responsible for the attack on two major routes.
The remaining three lines were each handled by two medium-sized warships and one small ship from the Central Army Group.
As for A73, they were naturally responsible for the last main route, truly becoming the main force of the mission.
The route is densely populated with planetary and star field coordinates. Even at the three outermost mission coordinates, the military merit points start at tens of thousands.
Faced with such temptation, none of the officers present were pleased.
After all, they knew the strength of their own ships and the danger of the main route; they feared that even if they risked their lives, they might not be able to take it.
Even if they manage to capture the first few points and earn military merit, they might not live to enjoy it in the end.
"Our task is simply to reach coordinate E24, completing half of the entire route."
"I've done a quick reconnaissance of the first half; the opponent isn't too strong. As long as we plan our battles carefully, we have a good chance of holding out."
"Moreover, we have Minister List on board, and our Lister assault capabilities are no less than those of the Central Army. Everyone should have confidence!"
Captain Boren was encouraging everyone, and their eyes involuntarily turned to Lister.
Since Captain Lister joined their A73, things have been developing rapidly.
Recalling his extraordinary combat prowess and Captain Boren's consistent reliability, a glimmer of hope rekindled in everyone's hearts.
"Lister, the destruction of many planetary outposts on this mission is entirely in your hands!"
"Leave it to me!"
Compared to the pessimism of the other captains in the control room, Lister himself was completely unafraid.
Although his current rank is a bit low, his combat strength is by no means inferior.
Above Planet K15, a deep purple beam of energy suddenly appeared in mid-air, only to be blocked by the planet's transparent energy shield.
Despite this intense energy clash, the entire planet inevitably trembled and experienced earthquakes.
Most life forms on the planet began to flee, and the rudimentary defensive fortifications were located nearby.
However, the crowd directly in front of the purple beam of light was already in chaos because it was densely packed and people hadn't had time to leave.
Scenes of trampling, scrambling, and conflict unfolded continuously.
A few dozen seconds later, the diameter of the deep purple beam of light suddenly expanded by one size.
Cracks began to appear in the energy shield in mid-air, and the next moment the entire shield was completely pierced, hurtling straight towards the surface of the planet.
"Damn it! These lackeys of the Galactic Federation, I didn't expect they wouldn't even spare us in the Chaotic Star Region!"
"Luckily, the higher-ups had prior intelligence, and they acted quickly enough this time, otherwise we might have almost capsized in a ditch!"
Beside the neutron cannon that had been bombarded, a frigate rose up completely undamaged.
A man was swearing and driving the frigate at high speed in a certain direction.
At the same time, all members of the Silver Mutual Aid Society Union across the entire planet rushed to various military bases.
As if they had already rehearsed countless times, everyone moved swiftly and with a clear objective.
Upon arrival, everyone was fully equipped with weapons and gear, and they waited quietly for the enemy warships to land.
"Captain Davis ~!"
On the frigate, as a man with full-body mechanical prosthetics entered the command room, everyone quickly stood up and saluted.
Have you found out who the other party is?
"It has been identified as the A73 small cruiser of the Arcane Civilization Army, captained by Major Boren."
Davis was immediately taken aback upon hearing this, and his crimson mechanical eye looked in confusion at the man beside him who was piloting the warship.
"Wasn't it said that the Central Army was coming?"
"Why are we here with the Arcane Civilization Army?"
"Captain! The Arcane Civilization Army was conscripted together, but the main force is still the Thirty-Ninth Army Group."
The man had just been cursing and swearing at the attacking cruiser, showing he had quite a temper.
But in front of Captain Davis, he was unusually respectful, and his gaze was even somewhat fanatical.
"You really look down on people!"
"Such an important region of ours, and they only sent a paltry number of the Civilization Army? All our preparations have been for nothing."
Hearing the disdain and regret in Captain Davis's words, a female warrior behind him quickly confirmed it.
"Captain, do we still need to proceed with the original plan?"
"No need! Leaving those 'good things' to these Civilization Army is a complete waste."
"Lawrence, we'll cover you for a bit. You're in charge of piloting the escort ship and getting these 'good stuff' back to headquarters."
"Feiwa, gather our organization's men and prepare for battle."
"Yes!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The entire crew on the frigate quickly sprang into action.
The neutron cannon outside locked onto the frigate's position once again and fired another shot.
Unfortunately, it was blocked by the energy shield once again.
Although this energy shield is only level 14 and cannot compare to a neutron cannon, it can still barely withstand attacks for about ten seconds.
In interstellar warfare, having ten seconds to hit the enemy with a neutron cannon is simply a pipe dream.
With the escort ship dodging the attack once again, and taking advantage of the lull in the enemy's neutron cannons, the planet's defenses were officially activated.
Four anti-ship missiles were launched in succession from different regions of the planet at the A73 warship high in the sky.
The energy shield vanished completely at that moment, and the escort ship suddenly accelerated, heading straight for the target star system at an extremely high speed.
Despite being protected by four anti-ship missiles, it ultimately managed to escape.
Inside a specially fortified underground bunker, Davis had already led most of the organization's members inside.
"Captain! The escape pod is ready and can be activated at any time."
"The energy shield has six hours left."
Davis glanced at Feiwa, who was reporting to him, and nodded, then muttered to himself.
"What a pity! We don't have any patrol ships stationed in this outer area, otherwise we could have confronted them head-on."
"Now, let's use these six hours to try and lure their people down to fight, and try to wear down their forces here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Feiwa covered her ear with one hand, as if she had received some important information.
His expression turned strange at that moment, and only after fully receiving the message did he frown and report to Davis with some disbelief.
"Captain! It seems we don't need to think of a solution anymore!"
"Um...?"
Seeing this, Feiwa quickly continued her report.
"The enemy personnel, having just landed, are now heading towards our base."
"Was it the other side's captain who personally led the team down?"
Upon hearing this, Davis's crimson mechanical eye also seemed somewhat puzzled.
The Civilization Army he had encountered, especially the sergeants on cruisers, were notoriously cowardly and inept at amphibious operations.
This Ship A73, actually dared to disembark and launch an attack!
He couldn't help but suspect that the enemy's mission time was very tight, which was why the captain personally led the team off the ship to clear them out.
Captain Boren is indeed a Tier 15 A-rank powerhouse, while Davis himself, as the highest combatant on this planet, is only Tier 14.
He became much more vigilant at that moment, and the disdain he had shown at the beginning was gone.
However, when Feiwa heard Captain Davis's question, her expression became even more complicated.
"Hmm... it seems... there isn't..."
"According to ground intelligence, the enemy is led by the Landing Operations Department, Lister."
"What!? Only a mere captain showed up!?"
Hehe~!
Davis's angry, cold laugh silenced everyone behind him.
His mechanical knuckles pressed hard on the long metal table, clearly indicating that he had already figured out how to make Lister and the others look bad!
