Chapter 903 Holy Treasury

In the bridge command hall of the Imperial Admiral, the system overload warning sounded louder and louder. Red warning flashes flashed on 80% of the information terminals. The ship's mainframe was running at full power, and the commanders quickly The sound of reports and the increasing flow of shared information in the spiritual link filled this vast headquarters, and everything pointed to one fact: the combat situation was deteriorating. (du kank

The outer barrier of this space was actually reset, and it was reset by the fallen apostle. This completely incomprehensible situation immediately blocked our reinforcements: at the beginning, the main force of the imperial fleet and a large number of people who came with the army The servant fleet was ordered to park outside this ruined world. We established a base in the void field close to this world, and most of the fleet is parked in this base. When the battle suddenly broke out, pl-15 in the ruined world immediately teleported in the first and second fleets of his revenge fleet, along with half of the royal fleet and part of the imperial regular army. However, no one What I thought was that just when more imperial fleets were preparing to rush in and join the battle, this space was suddenly closed.

We mentioned at the beginning that the ruined world is a very strange space. There is a grid-like membrane outside it that is similar to the world barrier. This membrane isolates the order area inside it from the void outside, and we just pass through it. This membrane had just entered this space. At that time, this membrane was like nothing to the imperial spacecraft. Although its structure was very mysterious, there was no evidence that it could interfere with the navigation equipment manufactured by Xiling Technology. However, just a few minutes ago, the properties of this membrane changed. The imperial fleet outside the ruined world could no longer locate any coordinates on the other side of the membrane. They tried to force their way into the world, but were ejected after a series of system errors. Arriving at a random location in the void. There can only be one explanation for this, and that is that the fallen apostles used their hands and feet to seal off the world. I don’t know what means they used.

Yet they can easily get in themselves.

"The amount of damage to the energy skimmer reached 40%, and the joint shield resistance decreased."

The shipboard host sent out a cold and emotionless announcement, and then there was a faint vibration under our feet. This time, the energy skimmer installed near the bridge of the main flagship was blown up, and several huge The holographic projection screen showed a huge explosion outside, and a large hole with a radius of about one kilometer appeared on the joint shield. This large hole disappeared in an instant, but the torrent of abyssal energy coming from the large hole still rushed into the position. And flew into the depths of space while grazing the main gun of an Eternal-class mothership. The fully charged main gun of that mothership almost lost control. Although the latter successfully stopped its thrust in an emergency, it eventually had to withdraw from the battlefield: its The main gun energy restrainer collapsed and it was no longer possible to fight.

"Okay, the shield was penetrated again. Although it has been repaired, our energy skimmer will be completely destroyed if this continues."

I looked at the battle damage report in front of me. The most eye-catching and easy-to-understand thing on it was how many energy skimmers our army had just killed. This number was heart-stopping, and it successfully made me anxious and angry.

"They found a way to deal with the energy skimmer." Sandora said calmly, with sharp eyes.

After discovering the existence of strange equipment like energy skimmers, the enemy gave up trying to bomb the entire Imperial fleet from all directions in order to quickly consume the joint shield. Hyperspace bombardments from 0.5 light-years away began to concentrate, and the Fall The Apostle's intention was obvious. They decided to drill a hole in the shield to overload the energy skimmer: although the principle of the energy skimmer is one of the empire's top secrets, the weaknesses of this energy flux equipment are similar. , if the energy absorbed in an instant is too high, the entire system will be overloaded, and the chain reaction will burn all online energy skimmers to ashes.

As for the penetration of the joint shield, this is not a fatal threat: the joint shield is not supported by a single shield generator, and the diffuse shield is not an energy flux device. It can only be used when a large area is exposed to excessive force. It will only be overloaded when attacked. If only one point is penetrated, the entire shield will not suffer much loss. The generator can repair the hole in one thousandth of a second. The Imperial Admiral is as powerful as this. As a battlefield command ship, this repair speed will be faster, so the damage caused to us by the concentrated firepower of the Fallen Apostle to break the joint shield is far less than the overload of the energy skimmer.

The enemy is very smart. They have realized that the new equipment on hand of the Imperial Fleet is the most difficult one. In order to make this device that constantly plunders their energy and "feeds" the main guns of the Imperial Fleet ineffective, they do not hesitate to temporarily abandon their surroundings. Taking advantage of the siege, attack one point of the combined shield instead, even though this would waste fifty or sixty percent of their firepower.

"The only good thing is that Cicaro succeeded."

My sister put her hands on the guardrail in front of the officer's platform and whispered.

Five minutes ago, Cicaro led his thick-skinned brother expensive MT regiment to complete a breathtaking support. Dozens of frontier-class fortress ships withstood the enemy's intensive artillery fire and safely picked up the lone unit. The transport fleet was rescued. They used the special shield system on their own spacecraft to assemble a highly compatible joint shield, and used this shield to wrap the target fleet and merge with the main force of the emperor. This process was like two It's like cells are merging - obviously, the process requires not only powerful spaceship hardware quality, but also an extreme test of captains and pilots at all levels' proficiency in shield technology. Ordinary pilots, even imperial veterans, can They didn't dare to drive the ship to dock on a joint shield that was undergoing saturation bombing, but Cicaro and his officers and soldiers did it.

"Actually, he is an expert in both shield science and armor science," Sandora sighed deeply, "Just listen carefully..."

"Boss, we found something!"

Just when we were debating whether to believe that Sicaro was actually an expert in shield operation technology, an urgent message suddenly came through the information link. From the unique title, we knew that this was Cicaro.

After all, it was on the battlefield. Even a bastard like that old boy Cicaro knew what he should do at the critical moment. When he rushed out to rescue the transport team, he seemed to have discovered something unusual on the battlefield.

"Here, we took some pictures when we circled the backside of Ruined Planet No. 1!"

Cicaro's square knight's face appeared on the officer's platform communicator. He appeared as a battlefield commander and now looked like an iron-blooded soldier - his face looked like an ace of diamonds. . He transmitted a series of extremely high-definition holographic images, which were of a ruined planet in the final stages of division. The shooting angle was from the back of the planet.

After the battle began, everyone's attention was focused on dealing with the enemy's attack. The ruined planet that was gradually falling apart had no one to pay attention to since all the refugees had evacuated. We may not be able to discover this thing even if we glance at this planet with vigilance and intuition - let’s not go into the details of where his vigilance and intuition come from.

"That's the core of the planet."

Artillery fire was still roaring on the battlefield, but we temporarily turned our attention to the image sent by Sicaro. Sandora looked at the dark red light in the image and made a judgment.

The outer layer of the ruined planet has been completely peeled off and turned into a bunch of tattered spaceships floating in the universe. The towns and machines built by the ruined tribes for hundreds of thousands of years on this planet are hung on these tattered spaceships. , just like the scrap iron sheet was stained with large pieces of rust. After these fragments were scattered away, the core of the planet could be clearly seen. It was surrounded by a large area of ​​twisted and deformed brackets, which were being washed away by the energy emitted from the core. It slowly evaporated cleanly, while the core itself was floating with a very uncomfortable dark red light. The shipboard scanner learned through simple analysis that it was a layer of ultra-high-temperature "vapor solution" mixed with psionic energy and plasma flames. "Free elementary particles move rapidly under the stimulation of ultra-high concentration energy fields to form light radiation and thermal radiation, and present a sensory state between liquid and gas.

This layer of dark red "vapor solution" is not thick. It is only a few hundred meters thick. It wraps the core of the ruined planet. Through the light curtain that flows like a substance, we can see that the lower layer is smooth. The metal layer on the surface - the core of the ruined planet seems to be an alloy spherical shell hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

And this spherical shell is not completely closed. There is a huge hole on it. The diameter of this hole has been scanned and measured to be more than 20 kilometers. It can almost allow an Eternal-class starship to drive directly in. Near this hole , there are many huge alloy pipes floating in sections that have been broken into several sections. The narrowest section of them is similar to the diameter of the hole. It seems that it should have been connected to the core of the planet. Looking at the cross-sections of these giant pipes, we Complex mechanical structures and conduction systems were discovered, and bright energy sparks jumped among the cracks in these damaged facilities, constantly illuminating the flat inner walls of the pipes.

The last picture was just taken by the Imperial Admiral. It was a large piece of debris that had floated away from the ruined planet. The bottom end of it was connected to the largest alloy pipe, and the top end was something that could still vaguely see its original appearance. : Ayutthaya.

The nearly vertical pit wall around the big city we saw before turned out to be the opening of this passage, and the big city itself was built on the access gate of this passage - the purpose of the church building this city was to guard the holy treasury. Entrance and exit.

There are indications that this core was carefully designed and placed there.

"Is that the so-called holy treasury?" My sister looked curiously at the metal sphere wrapped in red light in the center of the screen, and then glanced at Viska, "What did you put there back then? A little impression All gone?”

Viska flattened her mouth at me and said frustratedly: "I only remember things that I thought were important at the time, but I can't remember them at all."

"It seems to be open now."

Sandora whispered, "The joint shield has shrunk a lot, and now there is no way to protect the core into the safe zone. If you want to get there... it is very risky. You need to risk it without the protection of the joint shield." The artillery fire advanced at least 150,000 kilometers."

"But I have a hunch that that thing is very important." I said, and at the same time there was another violent vibration under my feet, and I almost lost my balance. "Xue girl, what do you think?"

Lin Xue has been standing next to us without saying a word or giving any hints, but now I feel it is necessary for the prophet to say a few words: The current situation is undoubtedly a crisis, but Lin Xue did not react. She saw it. What turnaround?

"If you have to say it... Actually, it will fall into our hands without us taking any action." Lin Xue rubbed her forehead, looking a little tired, "I'm sorry, today's situation is a little deviated from my prediction... Wait, all Turn the firepower! Aim at the core of the planet, the enemy is going to attack here!"

Although this order was extremely sudden, Lin Xue's instructions in this situation had extremely high priority. The fleet's fire control system immediately responded to the order to reset the launch angle, and just a few seconds after Lin Xue's words fell. After that, the shipboard host sent out a piercing alarm, and the synthetic electronic sound began to broadcast urgently: "Alert! The gravity trap device has been interfered with, and a gravitational collapse at the edge of the defense line has been detected! A gravitational collapse at the edge of the defense line! The enemy is jumping into our army. On the flank, the enemy troops are jumping into our flank!!"

Between the ruined planet and the defense line of the imperial fleet, space is gradually distorting. Countless space vortices like water ripples are rapidly forming. A large number of black space battleships poke their heads out of these vortices. It should be said that thanks to Lin Xue's passive Crisis warning, half of the fleet's artillery has been adjusted. The spacecraft trying to attack were violently bombarded by close-in defense artillery as soon as they appeared. A series of huge explosions swallowed up the first warships, turning them into heat scattered in the air. Metal, however, more Fallen Apostle battleships are still emerging from the space jump point. At the same time, the radar also shows that the number of enemy ships at the edge of the universe is decreasing sharply.

"Are they planning a suicide attack?"

Sandora stood up suddenly, "But if they appear in our sight, it means they are unlucky. Arjun, prepare to fight."

At first, the enemy just wandered outside the long-distance range and bombed us with hyperspace firepower. Although this resulted in a serious waste of attacks, it also made it impossible for the emperor's top combat power to work - whether it was me or Sandora. , or Qianqian and my sister, no matter how powerful we are, we do not have the ability to attack in time and space. Even Pandora and Viska can only adapt to space battles within the conventional range, so when they were attacked, the imperial fleet was the top Several of our combat capabilities have actually been wasted, and now... although the enemy has successfully broken through our gravitational blockade and suddenly rushed to the edge of the defense line, posing a huge threat to the imperial fleet, it also gives us room to play.

Sister-sama and Qianqian are not suitable for boxing with the battleship. They were left on the spacecraft and used their abilities to cause huge trouble to the enemy. Pandora and Viska had already rushed into outer space at this time. The two little lunatics were in such a situation. Under the circumstances, there is no need to command - you can't command either, and Sandora and I, who have entered the abyss state, followed the two little lunatics towards the transmission device.

However, at this moment, Sivis suddenly made a new discovery:

"Wait, Your Majesty! The enemy is turning!"

The Fallen Apostles fleet, which braved intensive artillery bombardment and forcibly broke into the flank of the Imperial defense line, immediately adjusted their formation after the initial panic. However, their target of attack was not the Imperial warship that was close at hand - on the contrary, they almost did not pause. The Earth changed its course and rushed towards the ruined planet with only one core left.

Their target is the Holy Treasury? !

The military actions of the fallen apostles are as surprising as ever. It seems that every time they take action, they will surprise people. Even prophets like Lin Xue are frequently defeated due to the opponent's abyss power. It's like this time, Lin Xue can predict the entire battle. The direction of the mission was able to predict the raid of the fallen apostles, but they failed to see that their real target turned out to be the holy treasury: she was interfered with.

"Stop them!"

Lin Xue suddenly shouted, "They want to steal something very important! The future is unstable again - they might really succeed!"

All the close-in defense guns had turned their muzzles and began to bombard the enemy indiscriminately. However, there were too many of them. Countless black ferocious warships completely ignored their own rapid casualties and tried to make the warships on one side use them as cannon fodder. We must continue to move forward. The firepower that the Imperial fleet can muster on a flank is limited, and the powerful Galaxy main gun dare not use its full force at this distance. Soon, our interception will not be able to keep up with the enemy's appearance. Looking around Go, the emperor's flanks are already full of black battleships of fallen apostles!

"attack!"

This is almost the only word in the command chain.

This is the first time that we have fought artillery against the fleet of the Revenge Army at such a close distance. The huge interstellar battleships on both sides are at a distance visible to the other side. The thick armor of the spaceship is opened layer by layer, and countless giant cannons poke out from below. There was a silent roar in the vacuum environment, and bright traces of artillery fire stretched out a brilliant network of light between the battleships like a galaxy. The advantage of the joint shield was lost as 80% of the energy skimmers were all offline. The shields of spaceships collapsed, armor was penetrated, psionic beams and black-red abyss cannons tore apart interstellar alloys, scattering endless debris on the defense line of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

The regeneration factories of all motherships have begun to operate at full power. The leader bee has already entered the firefight area on a stealth special service ship. In the future, there will be no time to upload the souls uploaded through normal channels to send them to the resurrection sequence. Since Lin Xue fought for us at the beginning, With the advantage of firing a few seconds in advance, the Fallen Apostles' spaceship suffered greater losses. It was difficult for them to take advantage of the abyss pollution when their firepower was at a disadvantage. However, even so, they had successfully approached the ship wrapped in dark red clouds. Alloy spherical shell - holy library.

Several powerful abyssal bombardments hit the armor on the surface of the holy library in front of us, instantly blowing away the dark red cloud and leaving several huge penetrating wounds on the silver-gray spherical shell. In an instant, the spherical shell self-destructed under the erosion of the abyss energy and fell apart.

The contents of the holy vault were revealed—an imperial starship that was blown into two pieces!
