Chapter 1,275 The New Technology of the Fallen Apostles?
(Well, I’ll scare you today... By the way, why are the subscriptions for my well-designed and Western-style space battles so low, and the subscriptions for daily chapters so high... Please give me some effort and leave some living space for the chapter on moral integrity!)
There should be many variables on the battlefield. At least in my memory, none of the battles I have experienced can be won smoothly and step by step - we always have to encounter unexpected situations, various turns, and emergencies before we can finally get it done. , however this time, the entire battle seemed to be relatively "according to the process." I don’t mean that this battle wasn’t intense enough, but... how should I put it? Sure enough, at the end of the fight, the enemy didn’t suddenly reveal a bunch of trump cards, nor did the third wave of reinforcements from the fallen apostles come in midway, nor was there anywhere on the battlefield. The abyss always explodes. It is very uncomfortable to be in such a normal battlefield.
I'm almost going to have a nervous breakdown from this nonsense of fate.
"Dad?" Xiaoxue's confused voice came from the side, interrupting her random thoughts, "Do you want to launch a general offensive?"
I shook my head hard and looked at the holographic projection in front of me. After a brutal fight, the Fallen Apostles were finally unable to maintain their ferocious offensive. Although they were ferocious, they were not invulnerable monsters. Now that the enemy's joint shield had been weakened to an extremely dangerous situation, they had to Shrink the defense and pile all the remaining fortress ships around the flagship formation, while the outer spacecraft can only fend for themselves. Although the Imperial Army also suffered heavy battle losses, it was already at an absolute advantage. Now Sivis was ordering all the firepower of the main army to be concentrated on the enemy's joint shield, hoping to destroy the fallen apostles in the last few waves of attacks. flagship. The expedition-class battleships on the flanks of our army are cooperating with the interstellar storm composed of tens of thousands of magicians to focus on dealing with other enemy battleships.
I took a breath and gave the order for a general attack.
All the Imperial battleships immediately opened fire, no longer retaining the output of the reactor. The assault ship formation that had withdrawn and completed repairs in the previous round of assault also rushed out of the hangar again. They cooperated with the main gun bombing and went to strangle the enemy. The remaining spaceships, the servants made a large circle from the outer edge of the battlefield and appeared in the back formation of the fallen apostles after several consecutive space jumps. These "miscellaneous troops" whose combat effectiveness is weaker than the regular army can also explode at this moment. The same terrifying fighting power, and their completely unconventional fighting style is the best weapon to interrupt the retreat of the fallen apostles.
The enemy's flagship formation has been completely exposed to the range of direct artillery fire. Through the images transmitted by the probe, I can clearly see those huge black spaceships. The most eye-catching one is a special battleship that may have been converted from the Eternal-class mothership. This space fortress is the only one unscathed among the scarred comrades around it. It has an unpleasant black and red paint. equipment, a long axis of hundreds of kilometers, and an unusually large mid-section module: it may be a modified legion auxiliary facility. Obviously, this is the flagship of the fallen apostle. The Emperor's Galaxy main gun and the "Corona"-class main gun from the expedition-class bombarded the enemy's joint shield. The big explosion produced illuminated the flagship, making the dark spaceship seem like a silent vessel. A monster dormant in the flames.
The warships around it were exploding one after another. Tens of kilometers of flames slowly licked the cold shell of this black giant ship. A galactic salvo once again penetrated the joint shield of the fallen apostles, a frontier-class fortress ship. A hundred kilometers away from the flagship, it disintegrated due to overload. The scattered twisted metal shot the former in the face - but the space monster remained silent. All its main guns were silent now, only the slightly glowing white gun. The discharge grid shows that those main guns once roared. After the giant steel beast fell silent, it seemed that it was thinking...or someone inside it was thinking, how will this thing act next second?
Several kilometers of interstellar alloy and a thick psionic energy barrier, coupled with the vast space distance in between, separated me from the commander on that starship. I don’t know what the other person is thinking now, let alone that. What kind of enemy he is, but that doesn't stop me from having all kinds of random thoughts.
What kind of person is that? He came with such a huge fleet to fight a huge but meaningless battle with the Emperor. He suffered two heavy setbacks due to his mistakes, and now there were very few troops left to command. He now ordered to turn off all the artillery on his starship, as if he had given up on counterattack. But just like every creature with the word "Xiling" in its name, he also refused to surrender.
The sense of dissonance before the war came back again. It was temporarily hidden due to the tense atmosphere, but now as the battle comes to an end, I can't help but feel that the appearance of the fallen apostle is inexplicable again, and this battle is also inexplicable. .
And just when the sense of disobedience reached a certain level, an officer suddenly loudly reported in the command hall: "Attention! The enemy flagship formation has resumed activity! They have thrown away the secondary weapon module... Repeat! They dropped their secondary weapon modules! They are loading their own shields! The enemy is loading their shields!"
The metal monster, which had been silent for several minutes under the gunfire, finally began to move slowly as if waking up from hibernation. Also moving with it were the escort formations around it. On the surface of those black and red giant ships, the disposable secondary weapon devices were blown away in a series of explosions. All the energy began to be concentrated on the main guns and shield devices of the spacecraft, and then they faced the emperor's gunfire and started Add, and switch to light-driven state in the blink of an eye.
The enemy's flagship formation is the only group of spacecraft in the entire fleet that has remained relatively intact. Now they suddenly abandoned the secondary weapon modules used for close defense and fire support, and instead supplied all their energy to the main guns and shields. This The obviously desperate action immediately raised the alert level of our shipboard host.
Those black-red painted abyssal warships began to attack, overloading their main guns and firing at high speeds regardless of the cost. They looked like they had given up on returning. In this case, they actually started a confrontation with our army. The enemy ship was forced to carry the galactic fire from the emperor at the expense of the burning shield generator, and was about to leave its position. As these giant warships moved forward, the space gradually became distorted. The distant and dim starlight and the nearby artillery flashes spread along the twisted path and gradually entangled in a tube-shaped channel that was hundreds of kilometers wide in front of the spacecraft. , as if a strange column of mercury appeared in space: This is a phenomenon caused by forcibly turning on the jump in a very low-stability space environment. Now, no matter which spacecraft on the warring parties, as long as the jump function is turned on, Such distortions will occur. The battlefield is dotted with similar "mercury pillars". They look beautiful, but they are a harbinger that the space is about to be fragmented. But now, no one cares about this anymore.
At this moment, the enemy's flagship formation had rushed into the twisted passage and disappeared in an instant.
The next second, they appeared in an area of only 160,000 kilometers in front of the Imperial Army's main formation: this is the effective range of the enhanced gravity trap generator used to defend the position. Those huge black battleships collided with an invisible path here. There is no way to continue leaping forward.
If we don’t know what these fallen apostles are planning to do at this time, then we have been fighting these madmen for five years in vain. In fact, since I met Apostle Xiling, I should know what the other party’s plan is in this situation: That's right, fearless sacrifice.
"Block!" Before I could say anything, Xiaoxue shouted decisively. She raised her right hand high and made a slashing motion with a knife, "In the name of my father! Block them!"
Then I heard a soprano from behind who was as powerful as Xiaoxue and had a certain gangster spirit: "Yes, in the name of Xiaoxue's father, stop these enemies!"
I turned around and saw Bingtis leading the five-man group of protoss officers towards the teleporter. Everyone - except for the stupid dragon with a wingspan of several hundred meters - had already entered the god form·four. A brilliant gangster led a strange and powerful woman with her head down and her head down, striding forward, filled with a cheerful atmosphere of trying to open people's brains.
This is the last counterattack of the Fallen Apostles. I can be sure of this when I see their flagship rushing over and preparing to fight and die. To be honest, on the battlefield of life and death, all warriors who die with the enemy are worthy of respect, even the fallen apostles are no exception - we are enemies, and the fallen apostles have done many evil things, but this does not prevent me from recognizing their Warriors are brave and fearless. However, in this command hall, no one was moved by the scene in front of them, not even the gentle and calm sister. On the battlefield of the imperial conquest, committing suicide and charging to the death are things that every warrior named Xiling can do. We have more than once faced this kind of enemy who intends to die with us in the fierce battle with the fallen apostle. . In fact, almost every battle with the Fallen Apostles ended with such a sacrifice. Whether it was the New Empire or the Fallen Apostles, they almost never succeeded in capturing the other party's prisoners.
Facing the dozens of black and red warships in the holographic projection, I just silently lamented that their bravery could not be used for the right purpose, and then ordered the entire army to use full firepower to ensure that they could not continue to advance.
Although the enemy is blocked by the gravity trap and cannot use time and space to move forward, their conventional navigation speed is still extremely fast. For Xiling Technology, 160,000 kilometers is a distance that can be reached in a blink of an eye. The enemy ship Sprinting against the Emperor's ferocious artillery fire, the remaining twenty-six Frontier-class fortress ships formed a one-time but extremely powerful joint shield, and the remaining scarred Eternal-class motherships surrounded theirs. The flagship vents the last energy of the reactor. Facing this ferocious last counterattack, the conventional army will probably fall into a certain degree of panic. However, the emperors, these war creatures with almost no emotions in the war, will deal with any ferocious enemy calmly. A powerful joint shield had been set up in front of the Imperial Admiral, and the escort fleet launched an equally ferocious counterattack with the assistance of the flanking support fleet. The expedition-class battleship group opened their fortress missile silos, and the x3 "Gravedigger" and x-4 "Death Knell" quickly consumed the enemy's shields in the most brutal way. Pandora and the Viska sisters used their high mobility and difficulty in being locked to get behind the enemy. The overwhelming floating cannons gnawed at the black-red abyssal battleship like a pack of wolves.
"The enemy's shield is a little unusually strong..." Sivis suddenly realized something, "Those may be tz spaceships like the Avenging Angel class! The fallen apostles also have tz spacecraft!"
Well, the enemy is never economical, especially the fallen apostles, who finally used the technological heritage of the old empire to create a more powerful big guy. But now is not the time to discuss this. I quickly pulled my sister next to me, who understood.
The special ability of the leader apostle is the best way to break the enemy's special defense. Although generally speaking, a single soldier cannot compete with the legion, but sometimes, strategic weapons are strategic weapons.
My sister and I opened the portal to outer space. Xiaoxue didn't say much. She just gave us a clear look: "Leave this to me, you guys be careful."
Then she turned back and continued to let the soldiers kill the enemy in the name of her father.
My sister and I came to outer space, and first met up with the five-man group of protoss spies who had rushed out first and had just collided with the enemy's joint shield. Oh, it should be a group of four. Only Ilson and the four of them were not strong enough and seemed to be rebounded badly. Bingtis, a guy who was so powerful that he could destroy the world with one hand without using divine power, just looked a little depressed.
"Oh, there's something weird about this shield," Bingtis said angrily when he saw my sister and I appearing. He immediately rushed over and pulled us to a safer place, probably thousands of kilometers away from the enemy ship. I found that the progress of the enemy ships had slowed down sharply, and a strange shadow covered the surface of those giant ships, giving their movements an uncoordinated... pause, as if the net was not working properly. Like a video with severe lag, Bingtis noticed my weird look and explained smoothly: "Oh, that's Monina's power, the world of Sunro. Now the enemy is temporarily trapped in a shadow that is out of scale with the real world. In space, they need to travel tens of thousands of kilometers to advance one kilometer in the real world. But I'm afraid they won't be able to last long.
Only then did I notice that Monina was not at the scene. It seemed that she was entangled with the shadows of those battleships in the shadow world. Ilson on the side was holding the giant sword in her hand tightly, looking somewhat worried. Bingtis patted the shoulder of this trembling girl carelessly: "Believe in your sister!"
Erson: "..."
Bingtis realized that this sentence was a bit ambiguous and quickly changed his words: "Oh, I mean you believe your sister."
Everyone: "..."
"Damn, it's almost the same idea anyway," Bingtis slapped himself, then pressed my shoulder and pointed at the enemy ship that was trapped in Senluo World, "Now I have two plans, the first one is A group of us went up and dismantled the ship - you may not think that the shields of these spaceships are very strong, but they are only for conventional shields. The bricks on my body and the iron head skills of this little dragon sister are not vegetarian. , you want us to let go of the fight. I am confident that I can demolish these ships for you, but this is a bad idea. The second option is to take a little more effort. Let's find a way to snatch these ships. Although I don’t know much about it, I guess the scientists under you want to drag these back to study. Okay, you choose.”
Is this still a choice?
I looked up at the starships that were slowly moving forward in the wrong scale. Bingtis was right. No matter how strong their shields were, they were just regular shields. If they really wanted to be destroyed, with the strength of those like us here, Strength outside the specifications can still be destroyed, but the value of these spacecrafts lies in their technical content. The Fallen Apostle has obviously applied a new type of protective device to these flagship formations. I can see that the shield refresh rate of these ships is almost three times that of the normal shield. Their combined shield has been penetrated several times. But every time they can recover before the next round of strikes: this is why they can carry the imperial gunfire all the way here. It is not yet certain whether this new technology has matured, but based on its application on the flagship formation, the initial mass production and installation of this shield is no problem.
I need these spaceships. If I can successfully drag a few samples back, I can figure out what the fallen apostles have accomplished during the time they were holding back on their technology trees. Now that the intelligence of the mysterious forces of the New Empire has been exposed, we must dig out their technological progress from the fallen apostles in order to rebalance the intelligence situation between the two sides.
But it is extremely difficult to capture a Xiling spacecraft. We all know that things related to Xiling have two glorious traditions. The first is strong and durable, and the second is quick to self-destruct. There are few records of Imperial equipment being captured by the enemy on the battlefield. Those frenzied Imperial military experts even wanted to put a self-explosion bomb in every toothbrush cup. They upheld the belief that Imperial property was sacrosanct and inviolable without the Emperor. According to the order, even the air in the empire's territory must be weighed to prevent it from being lost - the fallen apostles are certainly not bad in this regard.
If they realize that the situation is irreversible, they will definitely blow up their own spaceship without any hesitation.
"Remember how Carter Carlo was captured alive?" My sister glanced at me, "I cursed them so that they could not achieve any goal they were trying to achieve, including self-destruction - but I need to get close to these ships. You guys take cover.
If it were in the past, my sister's curse power might be limited, and she could not curse every enemy in the entire fleet so accurately: Even when Carter Carlo was captured alive, it only took effect after the disaster beacon was affixed to the opponent. However, now, sister She is no longer what she used to be. She has already obtained the qualifications of a god. The biggest improvement is that she has become more skillful in applying her power. When Bingtis heard her sister's words, her eyes suddenly glowed with gold. This goddess who had been tormenting her aunt for a month finally found a place to take revenge: "Yes, yes, yes, let your sister come on board, and let everyone on the boat, regardless of gender, old or young, come to aunt... "
