Chapter 528 Victorious Return
At 2:45 PM local time in China on March 23, the scheduled time for an attack, Yun Lan was sitting in the large conference hall on the second floor with a group of high-ranking officials from Dawn City, her eyes fixed on the main screen, which had yet to receive a signal.
Zheng Yong, the political commissar of the Dawn Army, Feng Tian, the chief of staff, and Qi Guoan, the director of the general political department, were sitting in the command room of the headquarters, also paying close attention to the combat situation in the universe. Not only that, the China headquarters, the American Human Alliance, the European Human Alliance, the Dark Alliance, and other places were also closely monitoring the situation.
Yunlan asked Wang Jie, who was standing next to her, "How many minutes does it take for communications from the combat site to reach Dawn City?" Wang Jie replied, "According to the crystal warp network, there is basically no delay in reaching Dawn City, at most only 5 seconds."
Yunlan frowned: "Then why haven't we received any news yet? Even if the operation failed, there should be some news. Li Chenglong said that regardless of success or failure, he would send us a message as soon as possible."
Meanwhile, in outer space, after successfully breaking through the black curtain, the special forces, who had initially surged like a tide, quickly dispersed. The main reason they hadn't sent a message to Earth or celebrated was that Li Chenglong, who had guided the attack and was the first to break through the layers of special forces' defensive wall, was still nowhere to be found.
Qin Mengyao from the Second Division kept operating the equipment in front of her. She reported, "Nothing found, still nothing, what should we do, Sister Zhao? The detector is on full power and the accuracy is at its maximum, but we still haven't detected any signs of life."
Zhao Liying said seriously, "Keep searching. We'll stop when we find it. If we don't find it, we'll keep searching!" In addition to the Flying Dragon, the Dawn, the Overlord, and the Saili were also constantly searching in this area.
Just when they were about to despair, their warships received a message from Li Chenglong. It turned out that after he was the first to break through the large package, he used all his strength to directly pass through the black curtain through the package, and then used spatial teleportation to arrive at the interstellar fleet's Apocalypse.
However, due to the interference caused by the Big Bang, the communications sent by the Interstellar Alliance fleet could not reach the Earth space fleet, which is why Li Chenglong was able to contact them after so long.
Upon hearing the news, Zhao Liying excitedly said, "Immediately contact the Information Management Department of Shuguang City Center. I want to relay this message back as soon as possible!"
Yunlan and the others were pacing anxiously in the large conference hall on the second floor of the Dawn Tower, on the verge of losing their composure, when finally the screen displayed an image. Zhao Liying first saluted, then said, "Reporting to all our fellow Earthlings and friends from all planets, at 2:45:32 PM China time on March 23, the black curtain has finally been successfully broken through thanks to the joint efforts of the Earth Fleet and the Interstellar Alliance Fleet. We have won!"
"Long live!" Everyone in the main conference hall on the second floor of the Dawn Tower stood up simultaneously, and the hall erupted in thunderous applause and cheers. All channels of Dawn City Television simultaneously interrupted their current programming to broadcast the news. The Dawn Army was already in a sea of joy, with warriors standing in formation, solemnly saluting the sky to show their respect for their comrades fighting in the universe.
Just as Li Chenglong was inviting Guedes and others to visit Earth aboard the Apocalypse, an adjutant approached and reported, "Mr. Guedes, an urgent communication from the Interstellar Alliance has arrived. A large number of special forces have appeared in the neighboring star system of the Tarot Star system and are launching an attack. In order to prevent any unexpected situations, the Interstellar Alliance Council has ordered us to return to Earth as soon as possible."
Guedes' expression changed, and he nodded, saying, "Immediately inform all captains of this news. We will return to base in 30 minutes to support the Interstellar Alliance headquarters."
After saying this, Guedes turned to Li Chenglong and said, "Lord Li, it seems I can't accept your invitation this time. I will definitely visit the beautiful Earth next time I have the chance."
Li Chenglong hurriedly asked, "Is the situation serious? Otherwise, let our Earth fleet go with you. Although our combat strength is not high, at this time, more combat strength means more guarantee of victory."
Geddes waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need. The cover-up is finally over. You should enjoy the joy of victory with your people now. Moreover, the three fleets from Meilan, Roland, and Hailan will be with us. We also have a considerable force stationed at our headquarters, so you can rest assured. However, I also look forward to your visit to our Interstellar Alliance headquarters to discuss the matter of eliminating the special forces."
After saying this, Geddes had a small airship prepared for Li Chenglong. After Li Chenglong left, he led the fleet on a grand journey. Before leaving, Teacher Lena sent a message to Li Chenglong, saying that she also had to return to the Interstellar Alliance headquarters to report for duty. However, El and Tris would be traveling to the Flying Dragon in an airship, and she asked Li Chenglong to take good care of them.
An hour later, Li Chenglong rendezvoused with the Flying Dragon and other warships that had come to meet him. El and Tris had already boarded the Flying Dragon. After a brief exchange of pleasantries and discussions with the captains, they unanimously decided to return to Earth first and then make further plans.
During the return voyage, all the warships had suffered some damage, especially in terms of energy, and needed time for maintenance and recharging. Therefore, they first needed to fly at normal speed for more than ten hours before making the jump voyage.
和众人打完招呼后，赵莉颖拿出了一份文件念道：“本次战斗虽然前后时间只有不到4个小时，但我们破晓军火箭军3团、4团一共牺牲战士72人，损毁S2机甲103架。空军部队1团和2团一共牺牲战士32人，损毁暴龙宇宙战机47架。”
She paused for a moment, then continued, "In addition, Miss Marina's Setan Star Fleet lost a total of 10 small warships, 1 medium warship, and 210 flying mechs, with 177 personnel killed. Miss Cecily's space fleet lost a total of 8 small warships, 2 medium warships, and 199 aircraft and flying mechs, with 204 personnel killed."
Li Chenglong took the document, read it carefully, and said, "The personnel who participated in this battle were all elites selected from thousands. Without their sacrifice, we would not have achieved our current victory. After returning to Shuguang City, all fallen soldiers will be awarded a first-class merit, while the participating troops will be awarded a collective second-class merit. Not only that, but a memorial service will also be held, and everyone except the leaders and officers on duty will be required to attend."
After Zhao Liying finished taking notes, she said, "Captain Li, the Flying Dragon is now in autopilot mode, and the robots are undergoing maintenance and recharging. Why don't we take this opportunity to have a good meal and let the comrades get some rest?"
Li Chenglong looked around and saw that everyone looked a little tired, so he said, "Okay, how about this, let's go to the restaurant together for dinner, and invite the people from the 1st and 2nd Air Force Regiments as well."
At 8:00 AM on March 26th, after entering the atmosphere, the Earth space fleet split into three parts, heading towards Dawn City, North America, and Europe respectively. Li Chenglong originally suggested that the fleet land in Dawn City first and hold a victory celebration before everyone separated, but Noctor, Heynckes, and others said that they wanted to go back first to regroup and consider their future direction, so they declined the suggestion.
As the fleet slowly landed at the Dawn City civilian airport, hundreds of thousands of people and soldiers from all walks of life in Dawn City spontaneously came to welcome the heroes' triumphant return. With this, the dark secret that had plagued Earth for over a year was finally completely resolved, and another crisis facing Earth was averted.
