Sorry, My Interstellar Fleet Only Recruits Women

Inside a manor in Baiyujing.

Zhao Chen was lying by a fishpond fishing, leaning back in a deck chair with a fishing rod in front of him.

"Aren't you worried about Xiaohu at all?"

He's going to a dangerous battlefield tomorrow. Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte, who was also lying there beside him.

Charlotte was holding a piece of roasted meat in her hand. There was a barbecue stall not far away, where a professional barbecue chef was grilling meat.

Although there was no smoke or dust, a faint fragrance could still be smelled.

"The child is all grown up now, and belongs to our White Tiger clan."

When I was five years old, I was able to hunt on my own in the wild.

When I was eight years old, I fought a wild beast. I broke my left arm badly and had a long gash in my stomach. I could even see my own intestines.

I treated the wound myself to prevent myself from dying from excessive blood loss.

After that, I forced myself to walk back to our tribe's camp.

Zhao Hu's danger was nothing compared to what I faced back then.

Since this is his own decision, let him do it himself.

"Only the strong can become my son, Charlotte's son," Charlotte said calmly.

Well, as expected of the White Tiger clan.

Zhao Chen shook his head helplessly.

It would be a lie to say I'm not worried about my son.

But knowing that the probability of death was only one in ten thousand, Zhao Chen actually stopped worrying.

The probability is one in ten thousand. If you actually encounter this, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

"Lilith, we finally got to come here for a vacation."

Could you please stop what you're doing for a moment?

"Didn't you want grilled fish? I'm fishing some for you." Zhao Chen looked at Lilith, who was working nearby.

He said with a hint of helplessness.

Compared to Charlotte's work, Lilith's workload is actually much greater.

I haven't had a proper rest in a long time.

Zhao Chen brought the child and Charlotte Lilith here this time so that they could all enjoy themselves.

Charlotte, however, seemed to enjoy it.

But Lilith still can't stay idle.

Seize any opportunity to do work here.

"Didn't you say grilled fish?"

"I'm waiting for your fish," Lilith said without looking up.

Zhao Chen looked at his empty fish basket beside him, and then at the fish swirling and jumping around his hook in the lake.

His lips twitched slightly.

He simply threw the fishing rod away.

He said to the servant in the distance, "Bring me a fishing net. I refuse to believe it."

The next day.

Zhao Hu's team was the first to begin their mission.

Zhao Hu looked at the T5 medium-sized Cerberus-class starfighter mech assigned to him.

He was very familiar with this starfighter mech; he had several of them in his personal collection room.

He even has more detailed blueprints for the treatment.

The purpose was to help myself understand this combat mech better.

As Zhao Chen's son, obtaining these things would be incredibly easy for him.

If this combat mech malfunctions on the battlefield, it can even repair itself.

"Tiger King, is there a problem?"

If you have any questions or difficulties.

Report to me promptly.

The squad leader's voice could be heard on the communication channel.

"Captain Sima, I have no problems on my end."

"You read the data about our enemy last night."

"Because our enemy is different from ordinary enemies, there are some things to know about combat," Captain Sima said.

Zhao Hu immediately replied, "I have read them all."

The enemy we are facing is the Dark Legion fleet.

The Dark Legion fleet is a special combat unit created by Order. They have no fear and dissipate after being destroyed.

Currently, our empire has temporarily classified it as a spiritual combat unit.

Besides interstellar warships, they also have other combat units.

For example, starfighters, starfighter mechs, and even some ground combat units.

However, because they rarely engaged in land battles, there are not many traces of these combat units.

Sometimes, we can also see some spiritual beings.

They originated from some lives that were previously sacrificed to the order. Although they have no subjective consciousness, they still retain the physical characteristics of their former lives. They died in battle and even have their combat equipment.

And in battle, there are places where we need to use our skills.

There are mainly three types.

One type involves assisting in the defense of starships and the Black Wall defenses. This requires us to be positioned on the surface of the starship's armor or the surface of the Black Wall defenses, using our weapons to attack enemy units that may appear at close range.

For example, starships, interstellar fighters, interstellar mechs, and so on.

This is a fairly common combat mission.

The second type is boarding combat against enemy interstellar warships.

Some of the enemy's interstellar warships still follow the boarding combat tactic, possibly because some of their spiritual entities are quite ancient and thus retain this combat habit.

The third type is less common.

We currently have research projects targeting these Dark Legion fleets.

For example, collecting the spiritual entities of the Dark Legion fleet, attempting to capture the combat units of the Dark Legion fleet, and so on.

These all require our intervention.

Of the three types of combat missions mentioned above, our team has done the first type the most so far, followed by the second type.

The third method hasn't been done yet.

Because the third type of mission also involves fewer attempts, but it also has the highest risk factor.

After hearing what Zhao Hu said, even Captain Sima himself was somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that this somewhat arrogant and conceited young man would not care about this information and would believe that he could face any battle with his talent and combat skills.

He had seen people like that before.

However, Zhao Hu did not underestimate him at all; he thoroughly studied all the information.

This alone is enough to show that he takes this part very seriously.

This is completely different from the arrogance he usually displays.

In fact, Zhao Hu completely followed a saying that Zhao Chen often said a long time ago.

Strategically despise the enemy, but tactically take them seriously!

Zhao Hu liked his father's words very much; it was even one of his mottos.

Therefore, in front of outsiders, he always appeared very confident, as if there were no difficulties he could not overcome.

However, in private, he takes all his opponents seriously.

He would use all his channels and methods to learn about all the enemies he might face, and make thorough preparations.

This is Zhao Hu!

"Very good." Captain Sima nodded in satisfaction, appreciating the young man even more.

"Our mission this time is a fairly routine one."

We need to be stationed on the outer P103 Black Great Wall defense line.

This is the newly established outermost Black Great Wall defense line.

Because it was newly built and located on the outermost perimeter, its defense strength is not high.

The enemy has been quite active in this area recently, so we need to assist in the defense to increase the intensity of the battle.

The garrison period is three days, but adjustments will be made at any time depending on the situation and orders from higher command if battles occur.

You are now piloting a T5 medium-sized Cerberus-class starfighter mech.

In our squad, I am the squad leader.

The default setup for piloting this medium-sized Cerberus-class starfighter is three squad leaders, each in charge of three combat teams. Each combat team consists of three people and is operated by three T5 light Cerberus-class starfighters.

If you don't feel you're ready to lead, I can take on your role as squad leader.

Logically speaking, given Captain Sima's usual cautious nature, he wouldn't have entrusted the combat deployment of three combat teams to someone who had only been with the team for less than three days.

However, this boy was too special, so he decided to ask for the boy's opinion and thoughts.

"Leave it to me, no problem," Zhao Hu said confidently.

This kid is still so confident.

This made Captain Sima quite curious to see how this kid would handle situations he couldn't manage.

"Um.

"Then let's get ready to set off," Captain Sima said.

Their combat mech squad was accompanying a fleet to its target location.

Their fleet is also responsible for garrison duty.

After arriving at the garrison location.

All thirty of them were on standby.

"All combat mechs of Squad Y33, enter combat readiness status!" Captain Sima's order rang out in the command channel.

All thirty-plus combat mechs were activated.

Then, in the compartment where they were, the floor where they had been standing slowly opened.

The vast ocean and stars were revealed.

Subsequently, a special spacecraft carrying the starfighter mech slowly descended and separated from the starship hull.

This aircraft is hollow.

It's like a clothesline, with each combat mech hanging on it before flying towards the mission location.

Behind them was the interstellar warship they had just boarded.

Zhao Hu looked down and could see the pitch-black universe.

Here, the distinction between superiors and inferiors is almost blurred.

In the distance, there stood a pitch-black wall.

You can also see interstellar industrial ships that were still in operation nearby.

Since the establishment of Baiyujing, the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire has taken over the Black Great Wall defense line.

Upgrades were then initiated here, and the upgrade plan included the expansion of the Black Wall defense line.

Its coverage area is several times larger than that of the Machine Race era.

This necessitates continuous expansion.

During the period of expansion, these areas are naturally at their weakest, so it is necessary to strengthen their defenses.

"Prepare for landing!" Captain Sima's voice rang out.

They were still several hundred meters away from the Black Great Wall defense line.

However, the aircraft that was hoisting them had already been released.

The rocket launchers of more than thirty combat mechs provided them with assistance, allowing them to approach the Black Wall defense line.

Stress devices were also installed inside the Black Wall defenses, though they were not as strong as the planet's gravity.

However, it's still fine to let objects within a certain range move closer.

Thirty combat mechs landed steadily on the surface of the Black Great Wall defense line.

"Attention all units, move into defensive positions."

Look closely, this blue circle marks the area our team is responsible for defending.

The three squads were positioned in a triangular formation at three different locations, each guarding their respective positions. Captain Sima's voice also became serious at this moment.

Zhao Hu looked at the holographic image on the battlefield in front of him.

You can see a blue circle, and the locations where their thirty starfighter mechs are deployed.

Among them, Captain Sima's T5 heavy Cerberus-class starfighter mech is located in the very center.

His heavy Cerberus-class starfighter mech is equipped with the most weapons and has the widest coverage.

However, mobility is an issue.

Therefore, being in the very center position, he can essentially act as a battle fortress, capable of providing support to any part of the battlefield.

He can also command various positions.

What followed was a long period of stationing.

Because the mission is to be stationed.

Therefore, a battle is not something that can break out at any time.

Some combat squads may not engage in combat during their assigned time.

The stay lasted for three days.

They need {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} to stay inside their starfighter mechs at all times.

Eating, defecating, and urinating all happen within the cockpit of their mechs.

These are all part of the life support system and have already been taken into account.

Let alone three days, even if it were thirty days, the resources carried by each of their combat mechs would be more than enough to cope.

Zhao Hu stood there, scanning the dark airspace before him again and again.

Ten minutes, half an hour, one hour, three hours, five hours.

He didn't slack off at all, and he didn't even complain.

This was something that even Captain Sima, who had been keeping an eye on this guy, hadn't expected.

Does this kid really have no combat experience at all?

You should know that newcomers are usually very excited when they carry out this kind of mission for the first time, and they fantasize about fighting the enemy and making great achievements.

Most people actually return empty-handed on their first mission, and their patience gradually wears down during this process.

Some seasoned veterans will create their own private chat channels to chat and pass the time.

Captain Sima was actually aware of these things as well.

But he turned a blind eye to it.

He wouldn't require everyone to be on high alert if it wasn't a critical standby situation.

Normal people don't have that much energy.

But when a high level of alert is truly needed, he will issue orders.

Those seasoned veterans also know very well when it's okay to slack off and when it's time to take things seriously.

"Squad leader, it's my turn to be on duty next."

You can take a break now.

Zhao Hu heard the voices of his team members.

Because of the three-day garrison, it was impossible to be in a state of combat readiness at all times.

They need rest and food; these are all necessary.

They usually take turns to ensure that everyone has enough rest time.

"Okay, it's up to you." Zhao Hu said without any further formalities.

He stretched in the cockpit and let out a long breath.

Then I prepared my own food.

A dining table appeared in front of him, and then a robotic arm delivered a heated meal.

Zhao Hu began to enjoy his rest time.
