947. Suicide mission

Before the battle began, Baher-Banak led the team to arrive at the Fourth Civilization fleet flagship, Chaos Luukri-Hok-class battleship.

"In other words, my fleet must attack Eriadu's defense line with all its strength, cover the transport ships rushing into the star, and then need to cover at least 100,000 troops landing on Eriadu satellite in the next two hours?" Sefrans-Tann looked grim.

"Yes, this is the plan for this battle." Major General of the Army Ling Liang replied seriously.

"You should know that once this plan is implemented, it may mean heavy casualties for the navy, right? The navy currently in Eriadu system has a total strength of 470,000. Because of this plan of yours, more than half of the people may die on the battlefield. You..." Sefrans-Tann approached Ling Liang with murderous intent, "... are you acknowledging your private revenge?"

Ling Liang still looked calm and said, "What I am thinking about is not the difference in arms, but... victory!"

She stared at Sefrans-Tann with her clear and firm eyes, and asked, "So, in this situation, do you have any other better ways? You must know that with every minute that time passes, Republic fleet here will become stronger. Do you want to fight with Galactic Republic here for logistics?"

Sefrans-Tann gritted his teeth and said, "If the battle fails, I will be the first to kill you!"

"You don't need to take action. I will be at the forefront of the battle and die without hesitation." Ling Liang said proudly.

"Hmph!" Sefrans-Tann snorted heavily, "So, the key to carrying out this mission is a transport ship? And it also requires some human crew members on it to rush to the star with this transport ship?"

"Yes." Ling Liang's eyes finally dimmed, "And because of time and confidentiality issues, these people will not enter Rebirth Plan."

Sefrans-Tann thought about it for about 2 minutes. Suddenly there was a bang. She slammed the table and clicked a few times on the communicator. After a while, more than 50 crew members came to the bridge and stood in a neat line.

"These people are all crew members who have fought all the way from Battle of Bespin to now. They can be said to be one of the best crew members in the navy at present." Sefrans-Tann said to Ling Liang, then turned to these crew members and said, "Next, I will launch a comprehensive offensive, and in this offensive, your task is to drive a transport ship to carry out a suicide attack. Do you understand?"

These crew members looked at each other, their expressions were a little ugly, and they all hesitated.

Ling Liang took a step forward and said in a loud voice, "Indeed, this is a death mission. Because this battle, and even this entire war, is the result of a narrow escape! Believe me, if there is a way to win reliably, we will definitely make a choice, but reality does not allow it. Our enemy is Galactic Republic! And Galactic Republic cannot allow us to live with dignity! Why did this war break out?"

She looked at the crew, "Because we want to live with dignity! Instead of groveling and becoming the cattle, sheep and slaves of those Galactic Republic capitalists! Become a colony for them to dump goods and take away things! But this is a war with great disparity in power. Each of us is not sure of survival. We are not even fighting for ourselves... We are fighting for future generations!"

She clenched her fists, "We are destined to be a sacrificed generation, but at least we can make our sacrifices so that future generations can stand up and be human beings in this galaxy! This is why we choose to die! I will not force this mission. You can choose to quit, but the battle will still continue as planned. However, I hope you can know the reason why you are here."

The crew members looked at each other, and then one of them asked, "General, can you tell me the content of this mission?"

Ling Liang answered calmly, "You will drive a transport ship, load a huge amount of Hypermatter, and hit Eriadu star. Computers and robots will complete the precise process of impact and detonation, and your task is to ensure that when any emergency occurs, you can flexibly respond and make the most appropriate choice."

The crew member smiled and said, "I think those robots should not be able to correctly respond to a sudden appearance of a fighter jet or a deadly beam of cosmic radiation? I will participate." He raised his hand.

"I'm participating."

"I'm participating."

The crew members raised their hands one after another, and in the end all of them were willing to participate. In their eyes, the hesitation they had before was gone, replaced by incomparable determination!

Finally, after selection and planning, 10 of these crew members were selected to enter the A-99 transport ship to carry out the mission of impacting the star.

Back in time, the battle has heated up.

Fourth Civilization's fleet launched a fearless attack on Eriadu's defense line. Countless missiles, lasers and blaster beams continued to fly across the space, and then exploded into a brilliant burst of fire on the target.

On the A-99 transport ship, the 10 crew members were in their respective positions. Each of them was responsible for an area, but they did not directly control it, but ensured that correct judgments could be made when an accident occurred.

Because this battle plan, which is accurate to the second, cannot be achieved by human control alone. The battleship's system and the navigation robot on it have been set to act according to the calculation results sent by the flagship, including starting the hyperspace engine and detonating Hypermatter in the cargo bay.

If no accidents occur during the process, these 10 people will sit here and then turn into cosmic dust after witnessing a magnificent fireworks.

The countdown in front of us is decreasing, 10 minutes, 5 minutes, 1 minute, 30 seconds, 10, 9, 8...

When the countdown reaches zero, the navigation robot instantly starts the hyperspace engine! The spacecraft's hyperspace engine has been modified and the stabilizer has been removed, so that the hyperspace engine will not automatically exit hyperspace navigation when an abnormality occurs in hyperspace.

The window outside the window was instantly filled with countless elongated light strips, but this hyperspace phenomenon only lasted for a second or two and ended. When the scenery outside the window restored, what they saw was a huge fireball that almost filled the entire scenery outside the window!

No, they couldn't even see that it was a sphere, because it was so huge that in addition to the endless flames outside their windows, there were also endless flames! If they hadn't already had anti-radiation coatings, their eyes would have been blinded at this moment!

Eriadu star! A star with a diameter of more than 2 million kilometers!

That's right, this A-99 transport ship has instantly crossed billions of kilometers in hyperspace, from near the orbit of the fifth planet Tarastra to near the star in the center of the galaxy!

The transport ship activated its shield system when it exited hyperspace, but even so, after being exposed to the powerful radiation of the star for less than a second just now, the battleship still suffered serious damage, and the system sounded alarms everywhere.

At the same time, under the control of the navigation robot, the transport ship hit the star at a very precise speed!
