Counterfeit Hero

Chapter 1447: Chapter 129: The Advantage

”I’m your grandpa!”

This voice jumped out from the communicator’s speaker, carrying three parts disdain, three parts mockery, and four parts impatience, bouncing twice as it crisply hit the ground.

Auben had fought battles all his life and encountered various enemies, always maintaining a superior psychological advantage. But this time, he felt as if carelessly sticking his face out, only to be slapped efficiently and swiftly by someone eager to hunt. The voice slapped him hard, a sudden fiery pain.

He’s seen lack of grace, but never to this extent.

”Fight is fight, asking names, what a bird show-off!” Fatty cursed.

The Jiepeng officers standing beside Auben wore alternating expressions of blue and white, anger bubbling out.

”Do you think you’ve definitely won? Don’t forget, on your left wing, the Destroyer Fleet ratio is four to one.” Auben’s voice was calm, expressionless. Only Yamamoto, beside him, could see his temple’s bulging veins and the flush around his blinded eye.

”Isn’t it just relying on a strong Staff Department,” Fatty said dismissively, ”Without your amazing staff, what makes you a Great General? Also, who the hell names themselves One-eyed Python? Sounds like that thing?”

Ann Lei, Margaret, and Helen blushed simultaneously and spat. The officers nearby laughed until they were about to fall over.

”If you have the guts,” Fatty muttered resentfully, ”We won’t need staff, a one-on-one!”

Fatty’s words completely enraged Auben, while his mind felt a bit fuzzy. A space battle one-on-one? Is the opponent commander crazy?

Just as he was about to speak, an idea flashed through his mind like lightning.

In the battle situation, his Battleship Main Formation was already under dual attack from the opponent’s main formation and fighter clusters, with almost no way out. The strength exhibited by the opponent’s Staff Department earlier was also intimidating. In the latter half of the central slaughter phase, every aspect of the opponent was rapidly advancing.

From the voice, the opponent’s commander was young, arrogant.

With his directing skills, the loss of influence from the Staff Department definitely wouldn’t be as impactful as it would be for this arrogant commander when leaving the influence as coordination approaches completion.

In extraordinary times, performing extraordinary deeds, perhaps this, is an opportunity to turn defeat into victory!

”See, I said he wouldn’t dare to take the challenge. If he dares to send a monitoring code, I’ll beat the shit out of him!” Fatty’s voice came from the communicator, accompanied by a woman’s giggle.

Even without visual communication, Auben could imagine a proud and vain commander showing off like a peacock before a beautiful woman.

Monitoring code... Auben raised an eyebrow, any doubts caused by the opponent’s fearless confidence were completely eliminated now.

The monitoring code is an electronic monitor password set in the flagship command room for battlefield records. The role of the electronic monitor is to monitor the commander’s actions, not equipped with any authority. It’s no different from the battlefield recorder on the wrist of an Army soldier.

This means even if both sides exchanged monitoring codes, what could be monitored was only whether the staff participated in intelligence analysis and combat plan formulation. It couldn’t see the opponent’s tactical arrangement, nor hear any sounds. If someone were to go back on their word, actually, no one could control it - mostly, it would just waste a little time before the staff rejoined the work.

Exchanging monitoring codes is more like a gentleman’s agreement.

”Alright, I agree with you.” Auben lightly waved his hand to stop Yamamoto and a crowd of staff from speaking. He stood on the command platform, body straight and calm.

To ordinary people, this is an absolutely impossible decision to accept, but for him, it is a necessary decision!

His nature is arrogant and self-assured. Even though his long-standing habit of taking no prisoners was criticized, he still went his own way. It was exactly this character that created the Dragon Rider Fleet. Without this frenzy, without this madness, if replaced by another commander, the Dragon Rider Fleet would no longer be the Dragon Rider Fleet!

Within this fleet, ninety-nine percent would accept this cowboy-like duel challenge, and as the Fleet Commander, he cannot, and does not want to refuse.

It’s just a monitoring code. He will use his twenty years of interstellar directing skills and experience to give this young, arrogant commander a lifelong unforgettable lesson!

The voice from the communicator left psychologist Master Tian stunned.

He blinked dumbly, looking at the equally stunned bandit army officers, eyes confused... this is too easy, actually, I want to win him the honest way...

How can he be so dumb?

Damn, should I be more polite with him?

The Chuckna 6th Group Fleet First Fleet, consisting of over a hundred steel behemoths of various sizes, traveled rapidly along the jump path on the 5th Leg.

Faraway stars transformed into flowing light quickly flashing across the warship’s gleaming hull. The long fleet array was like a spray of silver sand thrown from one Constant Star’s gravity circle into another’s. As kinetic energy compounded, the fleet’s speed increased.

Since the order to enter Resk in search of the Bandit Army Fleet, for a full three hours, the fleet had been traveling at the highest speed possible for the warships. The speedometer and jump engine energy meter spinning near the red alert zone.
