The sirens that rang through the entire city had stopped, but Wangcheng had fallen into complete chaos at this moment. The Royal Guards have all been dispatched, and martial law has begun in the entire city. All citizens must stay at home and are not allowed to go out.
The martial law order of the entire planet was also conveyed at the same time, and the hundreds of throughput hatches all over the planet, whether they were passenger hatches or cargo hatches, all stopped. From now on, any spacecraft is prohibited from entering or leaving the Emperor Star. At the same time, anyone who is not an Emperor Star must leave the hatch immediately and accept the inspection and monitoring of the guards.
Mutter walked quickly in the promenade of the research institute. The promenade was open-air, and the early morning sun was hanging high in the sky. Not long after he left, he suddenly felt the sky darken. He raised his head instinctively, and found that the sun, which was still bright just now, suddenly dimmed, as if covered by a layer of fog.
The light dimmed, it was clearly morning, but it was like sunset evening, Mutt stood in the corridor, watching round shadows that looked like the moon appearing on the sky one after another, not just a few, but as many as ten several.
"[Scepter of Heaven]!"
Ya Rui, the brown-haired boy who had been nervously following behind him, also stared at the dozen or so moons in the sky dumbfounded, and shouted.
"what is that?"
"Don't you know? [The Scepter of the Kingdom] is famous for its linked satellite group - it is the ultimate weapon to protect the emperor's star. There are a total of sixteen artificial satellites, and each satellite is equipped with a satellite particle cannon. The sixteen The bombardment of a satellite can cover all directions airtightly, and at the same time, the deployed shield can also cover the entire planet, it is a super weapon that combines offense and defense!"
The kid was still very nervous because of the alarm, but now his eyes lit up when he mentioned this satellite group weapon.
"..."
Mutt frowned, but he didn't answer, he just quickened his pace and ran towards the dean's room of the research institute. Ya Rui also shut his mouth and followed closely behind him.
This weapon, which is obviously the last big killer, is now in operation. It seems that what happened this time may be very dangerous.
When he arrived at the destination, he found that many people had already gathered in the reception hall outside the dean's room. The guards of the research institute were trying their best to maintain order and prevent anyone from rushing in.
Everyone's face is full of tension and anxiety. Emperor Star has been peaceful for too long—it should be said that although the universe is unstable and wars are everywhere, Emperor Star is a rare place of peace. No one dared to attack Emperor Star at the risk of the world, so the residents of Emperor Star have never experienced a war for so many years. The only way for them to participate in the war is to watch the wars happening in other galaxies through live broadcast, and then As a topic after dinner.
Especially as research institutes of scientific research institutions, most of the scholars who only need to conduct academic research quietly on the planet pay little attention to the so-called war. Therefore, when they found that the planet they were on had become a battlefield, these scholars who were usually obsessed with academics panicked instantly, and could only rush to find Dean Neil in a panic.
"Everyone, please calm down!"
The huge sound spread out in an instant, reverberating in the spacious hall, and finally appeared in front of everyone at a chaotic moment. The dean of the research institute shouted angrily and was amplified by the loudspeaker, immediately making the noisy The hall fell silent.
As soon as everyone looked up, they found that the door of the dean's room, which had been closed tightly, was opened. Dean Neil had already stepped out of it, and several deputy deans followed behind him.
"Don't worry, the Mia family rebelled, and His Majesty the Emperor has his own plans."
As he said this, he raised his eyes and saw Mutt standing at the other end and Ari who was following Mutt. Seeing that they were stopped by the crowd, he turned his head and whispered something to a servant next to him. say something. The attendant nodded and walked quickly towards Mutt.
"Your Excellency, the dean invites you to go over."
The attendant who walked up to Mutt said politely.
Mute didn't say anything, just followed the attendant and walked forward quickly.
The originally chaotic crowd became much quieter after the dean appeared and spoke. Many people calmed down from the panic at the beginning, and when they saw that Mutt was going to the dean, they all moved out of the way.
Dean Neil raised his hand, and a huge light curtain with a width of tens of meters appeared above the hall, and images from outer space had already appeared on the light curtain.
The dense battleships all over the galaxy instantly took a breath of air. It was impossible to count how many battleships there were, but it could be seen that the entire Emperor Star had been surrounded, and many people turned pale at that time.
Mute saw the badge on the battleship at a glance, it was the badge of the Mia family.
He thought he already understood what kind of risky tactics the very courageous old marquis had chosen. Presumably by now, the imperial fleet on the outskirts of the galaxy might have been wiped out by the old marquis in a surprise attack. Although there are still some imperial fleets guarding around the Emperor Star, compared to the fleet of the Mia family that surrounds the Emperor Star, that number basically does not cause much trouble.
The moment the image on the light curtain emerged, the entire hall was silent, and everyone looked at each other. The day before, I was still discussing how the Mia family could survive for a few more days, but I didn't expect that they would hit you directly in front of me the next day. This slap in the face is like slapping you in the face.
Everyone looked nervously at the image of the light curtain, and saw that the muzzles of the countless battleships in the image lit up one after another.
In the next second, the whole ship salvoed—
The entire light curtain lit up in an instant, hurting people's eyes, but no one dared to close their eyes even if the glare was severe. They all watched the huge laser beams shooting towards the planet they were on.
At the moment when everyone held their breath and were so nervous that they couldn't breathe, the thin translucent light curtain covering the entire Emperor Star suddenly moved.
Among the sixteen artificial satellites wandering around the Emperor Star, two of the satellites closest to the direction of the laser salvo suddenly lit up, and the light curtain covering the Emperor Star trembled as if it had vitality. The speed visible to the naked eye began to flow like flowing water, and the light curtains in other areas became thinner, but the light curtains in the area near the two lit satellites instantly thickened.
The salvo of laser fire exploded on the light curtain with a bang, and the light curtain vibrated as if a large rock had been thrown into it, and water patterns spread to the side.
Immediately afterwards, the whole ship's laser cannon salvos were blocked by satellites from different directions.
After dozens of rounds of laser cannon salvos ended, the entire Emperor Star was unharmed, and the sixteen satellites were still slowly walking around the Emperor Star, protecting the entire planet firmly.
Seeing that the laser cannon volley attack was useless, the battleship group surrounding the Emperor Star immediately started to move, and rushed towards the Emperor Star. Seeing the countless battleships flying over, the hearts of the people watching the light curtain raised their throats.
The sixteen satellites that had been moving slowly turned around quickly. Before everyone could react, all the satellites lit up. Immediately afterwards, countless muzzles protruded from the huge satellite. Blazing cannon fire shot out from the muzzle rapidly.
Each satellite is in charge of an area, they are rolling and wandering rapidly, the firepower of the sixteen satellites covers almost the entire spherical surface, and the satellites are equipped with the latest particle fragmentation ray cannons, which are powerful and cannon It can destroy a battleship, and the imperial fleet shot at the enemy under the cover of satellite artillery fire. Apart from being destroyed by stray bullets, there was almost no major damage. The gunfire fired by these huge satellites interweaves into a fire net, and there are almost no fish that slip through the net. In just a few minutes, thousands of warships were destroyed, and countless lights on the light curtain exploded in the universe. Brighten up a star.
The scenes of the war were played on giant screens over the different cities of Emperor Star, and all the citizens witnessed this scene.
Because Emperor Star has never been in a war before, the citizens have never seen the power of this satellite system called "Scepter of Heaven" that integrates offense and defense. They don't know how powerful it is, so they don't know what to do. But looking at it now, the citizens who were still on tenterhooks immediately felt relieved.
As long as there is the [Scepter of the Kingdom of Heaven], they will definitely be able to survive until the empire's fleet returns.
Mutt's eyes moved away from the intertwined barrage of gunfire on the light curtain, and through the open skylight above, he looked at the dim sky. At this moment, just like the dim sky at sunset, the stars are dotted with countless bright lights, like gorgeous stars.
"What are you looking at?"
The question from Ya Rui beside him made Mute look away and shook his head.
"… nothing."
"Please don't worry, as long as there is [the scepter of the kingdom of heaven], those rebels will never be able to attack."
The young child said so confidently, and comforted him in turn.
Mutt said nothing more.
The existence of [Scepter of the Kingdom of Heaven] is known to the world, and the Mia family naturally knows it too.
Knowing its power, but still making the choice to assault the Emperor Star, then...
...
……………
Among the huge flagship Nadia with a golden badge, an aide has already shown anxiety.
"Master Patriarch! We can't attack again! [The Scepter of Heaven] has too much lethal firepower, our troops are not enough, and we can't bear the damage too much!"
They were originally on long-distance raids. In order to avoid revealing their whereabouts, they minimized the fleet as much as possible, and they couldn't afford to fight a war of attrition. Especially for this raid, all the elites of the family were selected. It can be said that the head of the family bet everything on this raid.
The tall and burly old man stood on the podium. He stared at the light curtain showing the situation on the battlefield in front of him, with a straight posture.
His temples have begun to be stained with gray marks, making him look a lot older than last month, but his back is still straight, and his gaze is still like an eagle looking down on the earth Sharp and piercingly watching everything on the battlefield.
He said, "Go ahead."
"Your Excellency! These are the elites of our family, doing this is a suicide attack!"
Facing the persuasion of his staff, the old man still threw out a few words expressionlessly.
"I said, go ahead."
Several staff members and subordinates looked at each other and could only bow their heads in obedience.
This is the order of their superiors, and also the order of the head of the Mia family. Even if it is a suicide attack, even if most of the elites are damaged, it can only make people grit their teeth and continue to rush forward.
Just after they gave the order to step up their offensive, a soldier in charge of monitoring the battlefield suddenly made a sound.
"Strange... The Temurshi satellite's firepower suddenly weakened!"
The Temurshi satellite is the sixth satellite in the [Scepter of Heaven] linkage satellite.
The old Marquis raised his head abruptly, his eagle eyes shone with a chill.
"Let the Philly start its maximum speed and hit it!"
"Your Excellency, we have only two cruisers in this assault—"
"Bump me!"
Marquis Mia roared, his eyes wide open, and the slightly white hair on his temples seemed to stand on end, like a roaring lion.
The cruiser is a fortress-type battleship, and it is also the giant battleship with the most powerful defense. A satellite cannon can blow up an ordinary battleship, but it can only blast a gap in the cruiser.
Countless battleships in front of them went forward and made suicide attacks one after another, one of the purposes was to protect the cruiser Philip. At this moment, the firepower of the No. 6 satellite suddenly weakened for some reason, and the cruiser that had already approached the satellite suddenly increased its speed to the maximum, and ruthlessly slammed into the Temurshi satellite!
Two behemoths of similar size collided with each other in the universe, and the less dense satellite shattered with a huge crack, and most of the artillery fire ceased instantly—and the [Scepter of Heaven] satellite chain intertwined fire net At this moment, a huge gap appeared.
The Temurshi satellite has not been completely damaged, and the shield covering the entire Emperor Star is still in operation. Wave after wave of halos rippling away from the place where the Temurshi satellite is located, firmly covering the completely destroyed The cruiser was kept out of the shield.
"Kara ship! Tamir ship! Keep hitting me!"
The old Marquis opened his eyes wide and roared like a beast.
Under his order, without hesitation, the two destroyers, second only to cruisers in size, collided viciously, and even activated their self-destruct devices at the same moment they collided.
Two explosions shook the universe in succession. The Temurshi satellite couldn't bear it any longer and was blown apart. The protective cover of the area it was in charge of also disappeared instantly. Countless ships The fragments of the ship penetrated this gap and splashed towards the Emperor Star.
"Star Destroyer Cannon Shooting!"
The underbelly deck of the Nadia flagship, which had been quietly accumulating energy at the rear, had already been opened, and the muzzle of the huge electromagnetic railgun protruded, aiming at the gap in the gap in the energy shield at some point.
Just ten seconds after Marquis Mia's order fell, a blazing light like nuclear fusion shot out from the muzzle, drawing a dazzling straight line in the universe, like a sharp arrow piercing through the gap in the energy shield, tearing apart instantly. The atmosphere of Cracking Emperor Star bombarded heavily on the surface of Emperor Star—from spaceships in space, one can even see with the naked eye the appearance of the atmosphere being torn apart and scattered into the air.
"Nadia's Star Destroyer is charged and ready to fire again. The whole ship's laser cannon salvos to the ground—"
The old Marquis ordered decisively.
"Mirch cruiser anti-matter bombardment is ready to fire!"
...
When that beam of bright light fell from the sky and hit the ground vertically, the whole ground trembled violently.
Standing by the window, Mutt clearly saw the fiery fire that exploded at the place where the light landed, and the mushroom cloud rising into the sky.
It seems to be the flames and clouds that ignited when the nuclear bomb exploded in the documentary of the earth. The thick dust swept away from the ground layer by layer.
Under this blow, the originally bustling city was instantly razed to the ground, and the lives of thousands of people were turned into powder in an instant. You can't even smell a bit of blood, the only thing you can smell is the smell of dust and gunfire.
The boy clasped the window sill tightly with his hands, and he opened his mouth, but he felt out of breath—in an instant, in just a second, most of the city was in ruins, and thousands of people rushed to the ground. The last cry could not be uttered, and it became powder in the air.
The ground was shaking crazily, and he saw the ground crack, and countless cracks stretched rapidly across the ground like spider webs, and countless people ran out of the collapsed houses, fled in all directions, or fell into the cracks among.
Mutt leaned on the wall to barely stand still. This research institute is much stronger than ordinary buildings, and there is no sign of damage yet. However, no matter how strong the building is, it cannot withstand a blast from the ground-to-ground Star Destroyer. hit-
The people who managed to escape from the gap were not lucky. Just when the cracks on the ground stopped, countless laser artillery fires poured down from the sky, hitting people's bodies like a torrential rain.
The laser artillery fired by the battleship pierced through the atmosphere, although it was slightly weakened, it was still enough to easily penetrate the flesh and blood of human beings. All of a sudden, rivers of blood flowed on the ground of the capital, and the sound of wailing and screaming was endless. Not only the soldiers of the Imperial Guards were shot to death by laser cannons, but also countless ordinary civilians who were helpless.
"Didn't it say that the army is not allowed to attack ordinary civilians?!"
Someone was yelling in such grief and indignation.
But no one answered, it is forbidden to attack civilians, it is forbidden to attack areas where civilization is preserved, and it is forbidden to kill scholars. These are all imperial conventions, but when it comes to war, the party that conducts the massacre never cares about the so-called human rights conventions.
There was another burst of artillery bombardment, this time all the artillery fire happened to hit the sky above the research institute, the energy shield in mid-air held up for a while and was finally crushed by the torrential rain of artillery fire, and all the firepower hit the building of the research institute at once.
The strong vibration caused Mute to stand unsteadily and fell to the ground in an instant. He only felt the sound of cracking and collapsing continuously vibrating and circling in the eardrums. After a while, when he looked up, he saw that most of the hall of the research institute in front of him had collapsed, with broken bricks and tiles, and broken walls. Those who were lucky could still lie in the ruins and groan in pain. The people who had been crushed by the collapsing stone had their brains cracked and fell in a pool of blood.
Kneeling on the ground and looking at the hell-like scene in front of him, Mutt felt chills all over his body, screaming endlessly, and countless people lay struggling in a pool of blood in front of his eyes.
"You're alive... that's great!"
Just as Mutt knelt on the ground and watched the scene in front of him that made him feel chills, an old voice sounded.
"follow me!"
A wrinkled hand grabbed him and pulled him up. When he looked up, he saw Dean Neil's pale face. Behind the old dean, there were several equally old professors and dozens of imperial soldiers guarding them.
Dean Neil grabbed Mute's hand, pulling him to make him follow him.
"Go to my research room, there is a passage leading to the ground, and the basement has built anti-aircraft facilities, which can withstand the annihilation artillery that hits the ground!"
The old man spoke so hastily. The defensive basement has limited space, and it is impossible to accommodate everyone. Now he has no other considerations, so he can only hide in with the most important people first. On the way, he met Mute who was still alive. It was also a surprise, so I hurried to take it with me.
The teenager who was dragged away by the old dean turned his head subconsciously. They were surrounded by a group of well-trained soldiers to protect them and went to a safe place. So, what about the others
Those who were crushed under the collapsed pillars and broken walls, those who were unconscious, those who were still alive... and the tens of millions of citizens outside... what should they do
"It's out of control."
Seeing him turning his head back frequently, another old professor on the side gasped and said.
"It doesn't matter whether we can live or not."
Mutt opened his mouth, but made no sound.
He didn't know what to say. The old professor was right. Now he is just one of the people who is avoiding the attack. It is not certain whether he can save his own life. Even if he can't see the scene full of wailing, he What can be done
... can't do anything.
The young man turned his head slowly, averting his eyes from the tragic scene there. However, in the corner of his eye for the last time, he suddenly saw the boy who had been separated from him during the bombardment not long ago.
Yari!
The brown-haired boy was lying on the ground, half of his childish face was covered in blood, and he looked panic-stricken. He seemed to be trying his best to climb out from under a huge remnant wall, but his lower body was under pressure, and he couldn't get out no matter how hard he tried.
When Ari's eyes met Mutt's, those eyes suddenly lit up, and hope was ignited in his eyes.
However, this hopeful gaze was only for a moment. When he saw the situation around Mute, his gaze suddenly dimmed, and he seemed to understand something in an instant.
Fear almost made the child cry, but he didn't ask Mutt for help. He seemed to know how dangerous his current situation was, and he also knew that calling Mutt over would also put Mutt in danger, so although he watched Mutt being dragged away by the dean, he still He clenched his lower lip tightly and did not call out to Mutt for help.
He bit his lower lip, with tears in his eyes, and tried hard to show Mutt a smile of 'I'm fine'.
There was a loud bang, and the institute that was attacked again suffered another large-scale collapse, with countless rubble rolling down the walls.
A huge roof dome crashed down.
The dome the size of a millstone was facing the brown-haired boy who was crushed under the broken wall.
In the next second, the boy with a face full of despair will be smashed into a ball of meat paste by the huge dome—
Dean Neil didn't know that his youngest closed disciple was about to be smashed into a pulp, he just hurried to a safe place under the protection of dozens of soldiers.
In his hand, he tightly held a boy's hand.
However, in the next second, there was only air left in his fingers. He turned his head subconsciously, but the boy was no longer behind him.
Several soldiers who were protecting these dozens of important scholars suddenly opened their eyes wide. They saw a living person suddenly disappear before their eyes in disbelief—
The brown-haired boy lying on the ground raised his head in despair, watching the roof as big as a millstone slam down heavily.
In his pupils filled with fear and despair, he watched the terrifying stone move from far to near, from small to large—
In the next second, the air suddenly froze, and time stopped for an instant.
The boy held his breath, and his pupils suddenly widened to an unbelievable degree at this moment.
The figure that was hundreds of meters away a second ago was right in front of him at this moment.
The black-haired boy stood in front of his eyes, but his feet did not land on the ground, but were suspended in mid-air. The jet-black hair and the hem of the light-colored clothes seemed to be lifted up by an invisible air current, as if there was an invisible big hand holding the boy in the palm of his hand.
The huge roof stone hovered in the air just a few centimeters away from the boy's head—
Mutt was suspended in mid-air. He raised his head and stared at the falling roof above. His pupils flashed a dark blue luster at this moment—
At this moment, the rubble falling down from the entire ruined research institute was held by an invisible big hand and floated in mid-air—
