Xiling Empire

Chapter 1544: Traffic Route

The dazzling torrent of psionic energy washes over the battlefield over and over again, tearing, assimilating, igniting, and destroying everything they encounter along the way. Heavy fortress missiles rush out from the ripple-like space door. Every time these weird destroyers appear, It will bring a dazzling fireball like a small star. Battleships are dismembered silently in space. Powerful weapons that can easily destroy any star system civilization can be seen here. Space battleships that can be regarded as miracles on the battlefield of mortals are everywhere. This place has become a consumable, and the entire place has turned into fireworks.

The New Army gave up most of their outer territories in order to concentrate all their forces on the battlefields in and around the Tranquil Core, but this does not mean that all outer territories are easily captured: some outer worlds belong to the military In the main road, the new army needs to rely on these springboard universes to gather troops or block the reinforcements sent by Abyss Xiling to the core of tranquility. Therefore, at these "key nodes", the warring parties refuse to give up an inch of ground, and the soldiers fight for every piece of territory in a bloody manner. A space facility, a gateway to every world, these military chokepoints must be prevented from falling into enemy control at all costs.

This universe is the most fiercely contested one, and it is also the bridgehead for the confrontation between the old army and the new army. Most of the original space facilities in the universe have been destroyed long ago, and now only a piece of the old sovereignty hub is left that spreads several astronomical units. Scorching slag, the warring parties are currently fighting for control of the universe by building temporary world gates and sovereignty facilities, and the arrival of the "United Army" will completely put the new army into a disadvantage - if there are no accidents, occupy this universe It's just a matter of time.

The 1st, 6th and 7th Fleets (Magical Energy Legion) have cleared several small-scale contention points, and were transported to two neighboring universes through the world gate half an hour ago to assist the old armies there in clearing out the remnants of the enemy. , the battle situation reported now is good. They are two half-abandoned worlds. The new army is fighting and retreating, and the persistence of the enemy is not very strong. We will probably get two new bridgeheads soon.

The rest of the fleet and the Protoss forces continued to attack the transportation hub in front of them. Try to win it in the shortest possible time.

"A high-energy reaction occurred on the flank, and the massive entity was approaching... It was confirmed that it was attacked by a jump missile, and the joint shield is still intact."

"Gravitational distortion was detected at the rear of the fleet... It was attacked by a stealth bomber and the interceptor ship has set off."

The command center was busy but still orderly. I looked at the holographic projection in the center of the hall, which showed the images from the spy probe: against the gray space background, a dim ring facility was slowly rotating. It is huge, with a radius perhaps similar to that of the moon. Black and red battleships are constantly emerging from this ring, bringing us a steady stream of enemies. Surrounding this huge ring is a mixed array of a large group of fortress ships and eternal motherships. These two ships themselves have strong defensive capabilities, and the joint shield they have established is so strong that it is terrifying. There is something even more troublesome in the empty gaps of the mixed array: a strange-looking alloy tower that looks like several hexagonal prisms of different sizes put together. There are mysterious red figures walking upstream of these hexagonal prism towers. Light, each flash of red light strengthens the surrounding Union shield a little: they are the enemy's shield broadcast towers. It looks similar to the model used by the Empire, but the charging speed seems to be a little faster. These broadcast towers greatly speed up the recharging speed of the joint shield, allowing large shields to resist with the same refresh rate as small shields. harm. Under the protection of the joint shield, the enemy's Eternal-class mothership naturally has a safer firing environment.

But it’s not a big problem – we have superior firepower and superior numbers, although it is a problem that the enemy’s World Gate keeps sending reinforcements here. But the Abyss Xiling has almost wiped out the enemies on the world barrier. Under the strong interference, the speed of the new army sending troops here is obviously getting slower and slower. Moreover, the large spacecraft seemed to have been damaged during the transmission.

A salvo of Galaxy's main cannon once again shook the enemy's joint shield and tore a hole directly in front of it. Other firepower ships immediately seized this opportunity and poured out massive artillery fire, widening the gap at the same time. Quickly killing the abyss warships inside the joint shield. Inside the Imperial Union's joint shield, the long and narrow Expedition-class starships formed a dense firepower formation under the cover of the Frontier Fortress. Together, they created a hyperspace gate in space, and then activated their own "Corona" mainframe. The cannon threw the entire fleet's firepower into this hyperspace door. The powerful energy surge instantly destroyed the door. However, before the door at this end collapsed, a fire outlet had already appeared inside the enemy's joint shield. Thousands of bright beams of psionic energy swept across everything like exploding "thorn balls".

This is the result of the joint shield being severely broken: in addition to the gravity trap generator, the joint shield is also an important support for resisting hyperspace firepower. When the shield is intact, hyperspace firepower can only be deployed far away from the formation. However, if the damage rate of the joint shield exceeds 30%, the specially enhanced hyperspace firepower can rush into the fleet array. This is equivalent to dropping a fragmentation bomb inside the enemy. After the silent fireworks , a large number of battleships on the battlefield were turned into ashes.

When the enemy was in some confusion due to this extremely powerful attack, a large area of ​​space distortion suddenly appeared behind their fleet, and then a brilliant wave of light suddenly erupted.

A large group of indescribable "armies" emerged from the light tide and quickly rushed towards the enemy's joint shield.

This wave of light is like layers of aurora. When it permeates the space, it looks like a spectacular luminous nebula, and it also looks like a long wall of light between liquid and solid. It spans more than tens of thousands of kilometers and is roughly long and narrow. shape, but has no fixed shape. In the floating light, the first thing to rush out was a group of giant "people" hundreds of meters high. These giants had a roughly humanoid appearance, with vague faces, and their bodies seemed to be vaguely covered with a layer of armor. They were pure saints. The product of light, the way of fighting is to transform into light, rush into the enemy's spaceship and trigger a chain reaction. When facing the holy light, matter and energy will be restored to the original light and heat. The whole process is full of destructiveness. Along with the appearance of the Giant of Light, there is also a kind of small light group. They are even stranger. Their shape and limbs cannot be seen at all, and they are just like erratic smoke. These light groups will actively adhere to the enemy's shield, then sacrifice themselves to neutralize the shield. In battle, they always serve as the vanguard of the giants of light. Because those radiant giants don't seem to be very good at dealing with units with shields. It's not that they can't be dealt with at all, but their power will be weakened by the shield.

Behind the giant of light and the "cloud" appeared more strange "soldiers", some of which were energy groups similar to elemental creatures, and some of which looked like robots, but were actually "golems" There are some divine creations that are not clear at all and can only be distinguished as pure shadows when they hit the target - the last one is obviously the power of the Dark Gods.

Shadows are everywhere, places that cannot be illuminated by light are shadows, and places that are accidentally ignored are also shadows. Negative factors in thinking are also shadows. The shadow power of the Dark Gods is not just as simple as fighting with "shadows". It can appear and grow instantly in any place you can think of and unexpectedly, hiding in dark corners, corners of sight, and hearts. Corners, even corners of history and time, these are "environments" that allow the Dark Gods to exert their combat effectiveness. I saw a thick, ink-like black spread to the middle of an enemy ship, and quickly dragged the warship into a strange space where light and shadow met. It stands to reason that the middle section of the battleship is being illuminated by various lights, so it is impossible to create a shadow, but perhaps the crew on the battleship accidentally looked away from the hull monitor for a moment - they created a "shadow" in their attention. , so his spaceship instantly became the source of power for the Dark Gods.

This is the battle scene of the divine army. Before the soldiers of the Protoss go out to fight in person, they are always used to throwing out a lot of messy "cannon fodder". Those giants of light, elemental creatures, magical soldiers and shadow powers are all the "weapons" they use in battle. ". The five-man group of protossmen rarely used this fighting method when they were with the emperor. That was because they only had a few people. Arranging hidden weapons and magical arrays on the battlefield seemed like a waste of time, but this time the gods came in large numbers and had plenty of room to make various arrangements. We naturally have the opportunity to see their "orthodox fighting style".

"We are not like you. You have all kinds of battleships and various weapons. The Protoss lacks large weapons and equipment, so we have developed other combat methods, which is to create 'variables' and 'anomalies' ," Bingtis saw that the stubborn enemy troops were caught off guard by the various divine soldiers pouring out of the light tide, and he couldn't help but have a proud smile on his face, "These divine soldiers and divine magic are in the process. The absolute lethality is not as violent as yours, but they are very strange, difficult to defend, and can take advantage of the laws of the world at any time. Although the Xiling apostles themselves are immune to harm from the laws, they are not immune to various environmental injuries caused by the chaos of the laws."

I am still curiously watching the dark power spreading in the enemy fleet. The power that can develop and grow with the help of all "shadows" is really mind-numbing. It can even blink your eyes and relax your vigilance. Take advantage of the moment when you change your thoughts, and use your own attention vacancy as nourishment to grow and develop. This power makes people can't help but associate it with all kinds of evil and negative things. No wonder the Dark Gods always laugh at themselves about their first impression. It's not good enough. When I'm preaching, I meet conspiracy theorists every now and then... Their magic is too weird.

Attacked from the front and back, the front was the Imperial Army with its powerful offensive, strong ships and powerful artillery, and the back was the Protoss who had strange fighting methods and became more and more courageous as time went by. The enemy fell into a state of chaos for a short period of time, but they soon regrouped. The deep fighting talent of the Xiling Apostles made them decide to deal with the threats first and then the threats: the Gods' characteristic of doubling their combat effectiveness over time is really a huge threat. If left alone, the entire battlefield will soon be overrun by Gods. It is so full of magic that even a few light-years in radius will be directly transformed into a divine environment like "heaven on earth". By then, they will be completely out of control.

The shield broadcast tower increased its output, and a group of fortress ships began to shift their defense focus to the position eroded by the Protoss. At the same time, the dark red mutated psionic energy beam also began to sweep away the brilliant light tide. The Giants of Light and other gods from the Protoss The magical creations were obviously not "resistant to beatings". Under the sweep of the psionic energy beam, these hurriedly crafted divine products exploded into pieces and pieces filled with light.

And those spreading shadows quickly dissipated and were suppressed in the blink of an eye.

The power of the Dark Gods is weird and difficult to defend against, but it is basically for mortals. For Xiling Apostles who have mastered information correction and conceptual technology, there is no problem of being unable to defend against the power below the void. The frequency of psionic energy can have an assimilation effect on all matter, energy, and dimensions. Of course, dark forces cannot escape this result. The new army increased the shield strength of part of the spacecraft, so the dark power that had just achieved some results was quickly rejected.

However, the new army only brought the situation back a little, and their other line of defense collapsed completely: taking advantage of the enemy's attention being diverted by the Protoss, Sandora ordered all the ready missile silos of the Royal Fleet to be activated, and thousands of The "X-3 Gravedigger" and "X-4 Deathstroke" Bastion missiles crossed the battlefield between the warring parties in an instant and severely bombarded the enemy's joint shield.

The dark red and turbid energy shield rippled violently, and quickly lost control. The surge of energy fluctuations spread out, forming layers of surges on the surface of the shield, followed by a slight distortion of the space. The enemy's shield broadcast tower and fortress ship exploded overload like firecrackers, and the enemy formation suddenly turned into a sea of ​​light.

A large-scale overload of the joint shield during battle is a catastrophic event, which will cause all ships connected to the shield to suffer backlash from energy surges, and the indestructible fortress ship will begin to collapse from its internal power core - all in the blink of an eye. matter of time.

The enemy's defense collapsed instantly, but the tide of light that had been swept away by a third quickly recovered. The divine warriors condensed from the light into reality. This time, they were followed by more re-created divine soldiers. Before the enemy could react, the army rushed into the shattered Union shield.

The last resistance force was quickly swept away, just like the several positions that had been fought over before. The New Army detonated the World Gate and all surrounding functional facilities before completely collapsing, and also created a space storm through self-destruction that may last for a long time - this area was completely destroyed.

But no matter what, the new army has one less way to send support to this world, and at this moment, Abyss Xiling has almost completely controlled the world barrier.

"Haha... It's nothing when you use self-destruction. Once the enemy uses it, it's really annoying." Sandora looked at the vast space full of ruins and high-energy clouds. This place was completely unsuitable. Build a new world gate. There were no resources left to plunder, "It was completely blown up again."

"This universe has basically been wiped out." I have long been familiar with the extreme fighting style of the New Army - it was basically the same when fighting Abyss Xiling before. So I didn't have too many regrets, but looked at the battle reports from all parties in front of me, "Battles in other theaters are basically coming to an end. The New Army has wasted too many troops here. It seems that they have finally decided to abandon this road. Abyss Xiling, how is the situation over there?"

The interactive interface of Abyss Xiling, that is, the black box, is still with us in the command hall of the Imperial Admiral, but her main focus is still on the command of the old army. She stays where she is when no one disturbs her. Sitting still, as if she was asleep, she raised her head when someone called her: "The world barrier is being closed. In addition, the passage to the next world is about to be opened. We need more world gates, otherwise interference will occur. If it is too concentrated, transmission accidents may occur.”

I nodded, and the royal fleet jumped to an open area a light-year away. This place was outside the battlefield. The space shock caused by the big explosion created by the new army before the total collapse did not spread here, although the surroundings were empty. , and there is no suitable environment such as a gravitational anchor point... But in this desolate universe, it is actually the same wherever the world gate is built.

Just when I was about to order the components of the temporary world gate to be dropped, a voice suddenly came from the communicator: "Your Excellency, General, your military fortune is prosperous! This ship has returned triumphantly~!~!"

As soon as I looked up, I saw a huge gravitational distortion zone appearing in space, and then a silver-white planetary battleship appeared millions of kilometers in front of the fleet. There was also a group of escort fleets patrolling in the orbit of the planetary battleship: Revenge The army completed the suppression of other war zones, and the delighted Grand Governor came here to report the results of the battle immediately.

Viska had just finished his addiction to war, and now he was in a particularly high mood, so he did not hesitate to praise: "Yeah, well done, brother will be very happy."

The Warsong rotated rapidly in space, confusing everyone's faces with gravity as it turned: "Ah ha, this ship is indeed the strongest! General, brother, do you have any other tasks? This ship can help you handle it. …”

I looked at the map of the war zone that had almost calmed down, and then looked at the Revenge fleet with strong ships and powerful guns, and suddenly an idea came to my mind: "Do you want to take on the important task of escorting the entire empire?"

The Zhan Song was not stupid. She warned on the spot that she might be deceived and immediately became vigilant: "General, brother, are you planning to sell this ship?"

"I want to build the World Gate here," I confessed my thoughts. "This is the front line. The World Gate is the enemy's key target, so it needs sufficient defense. How about you serve as the anchor point of the gate? It just so happens that you can fool anyone into looking attractive at any time."

The Revenge Army has strong combat capabilities. Originally they would be more suitable as an offensive force, but the fact that they had to go through a fierce battle just to compete for a temporary world gate reminded me: on this kind of battlefield, the garrison of the transportation hub is more needed. combat effectiveness.

Even if we can take over this universe, there is no guarantee that the new army will not rush in through other means. Once the emperor's world gate is lost, we will all be blocked inside, and reinforcements will not be able to come in.

I just don't know what the crazy guy thinks - theoretically, that crazy guy shouldn't like to watch the door very much, but I really can't think of anyone more suitable for this job than her. The Warsong is our most resistant spacecraft at present. Both physically and psychologically, they are tougher... (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!
