Hundreds of hexagonal battleships, like a honeycomb, separated the energy mist of the Great Demon Tide and sailed in the void in a neat array.
Behind the void obscured by the overly dense energy mist, a protruding steel port gradually emerged as the hive warship approached. A bright guiding light shot out from the side of the port, shining on the top of the leading hive warship.
Under the guidance of the navigation beam, the entire battleship began to turn slightly, slowed down along the beam, and then slowly sailed towards the time and space anchor point of the port.
Ahead is Frontier Harbor.
The Eldar Empire is located in the largest military port on the side of Silent Void, Frontier Void Port.
It was originally just a civilian port responsible for transferring supplies from colonies in the frontier provinces. However, in the past few hundred years, due to the Eldar's continuous investment in void combat capabilities, almost all ports and large fortress worlds have been strengthened. In recent years, this port, which used to be the most important transportation hub on the frontier, has been completely transformed into a super-large void fortress.
The previous mixed hive fleet of four hundred was only a small part of the military ships docked in the entire port. The Frontier Void Port at full capacity can dock more than 5,600 large hive warships at the same time, which is the largest in the entire Eldar Empire. One of the most advanced and powerful void ports.
But now, even such a huge void port is now overloaded, and has even had to temporarily build two smaller subsidiary ports in the surrounding area to accommodate a huge fleet cluster that has exceeded 10,000 people.
All because of the increasingly stormy situation recently.
According to the increasingly sharp and clear reports from the major frontier monitoring stations of the Imperial Military, the monitoring stations detected nearly three years ago (the Eldar’s time standard is different from that of humans, but for the sake of smooth reading, the default is the same for all multiverse units) The huge subspace energy fluctuations and echoes have become increasingly clear recently, and the meaning behind this has forced the Eldar leaders to make a decision.
Of course, the convergence of fleets across the country towards border areas will cause the territory on the normal void side to lose long-distance response capabilities, but the Eldar themselves also know that as a lucky young void civilization, if they really encounter an enemy from other galaxies, Intruders have little ability to resist. Instead of worrying about things that have no current trend, they should be more concerned about the storm that is definitely approaching on the side of Silent Void.
Preparing to set off from the home planet of origin, from the Dust Realm to the Red Light Province, and then from the Black Fang Fortress to the Frontier Void Port, this small fleet of four hundred people did not come as reinforcements—in fact, they came The purpose is to transport cutting-edge detection equipment that is condensed with the current highest technology of the Eldar.
The fleet with the special code of the military quickly entered the core area of the void inner port through the special passage. The transport ship was quickly disassembled, and the huge detection equipment was separated from the semi-biomass hull. Soon, the Eldar soldiers Under tight arrangements, the 'subspace energy wave receiver' shaped like a spire was successfully loaded.
However, half a day later.
A series of emergency warnings were sent to the Eldar capital galaxy of the origin home planet.
"... We have observed that the gravitational bending phenomenon around the Frontier Void is very obvious, but we cannot observe any light and energy fluctuations... "
"...According to speculation, there should be a supermassive dark star that can block light and is rapidly approaching our star field. Their technology is superb and more powerful than we imagined. And based on the current situation, we don't know The famous visitor friends will be arriving soon..."
"... Dear Her Majesty the Queen, the subspace echoes have become so clear that ordinary monitoring equipment can hear them. They are already close to the outside of our galaxy, and a series of material distortion phenomena have already occurred... "
"...There is every reason to believe that unknown signal sources have left the silent void and begun to enter the ultra-long dust cloud area at the edge of the galaxy. Their trajectories have not changed and are still moving in a straight line. We have already determined where these signal sources may land. The location is included in the monitoring range... "
From September 18, 1103, to November 27, 1103, a series of emergency warnings and notices almost filled the acceptance columns of the royal family and the military. According to the most sophisticated detection equipment, it can be known that there is an unknown signal coming from the other side. The source is approaching at an incredible speed - of course, this is not surprising in itself, because according to the theory of information relativity, if target A is traveling at a speed close to the speed of information transmission, then when another target receives the information, target A will also Will arrive soon.
In response to this increasingly tense situation, in order to avoid the huge losses caused by the fleet of behemoth void beasts in the past, the Eldar Empire mobilized all fleets of the entire clan and began to build temporary fortresses at the location where the unknown signal source was about to land. Half of the resources that the empire had accumulated over the years were invested here. The next successor to the Imperial Queen, the 25th Hive Awakener, the Imperial Princess has accompanied the Vice Prime Minister and the Minister of Military Affairs to the front line, proving that the entire Empire has attention to this.
At least, in terms of preparations, the top and bottom leaders of the Spirit Clan have a clear conscience, and they have indeed done their best.
The time is November 27, 1103 in the spiritual calendar.
With the issuance of the highest alert order, the silence of the entire frontier port and fortress group was broken.
The eldest princess, the deputy prime minister, the military minister and the frontline marshals, as well as the queen and other cabinet ministers who were far away in the empire, all received the same emergency notice at the same time.
But in fact, no announcement was needed, because all high-powered psykers above level three felt the wave of... called trembling that was sweeping in from afar.
"—Alert—We have received strong unknown fluctuations sweeping across the entire galaxy!"
"—Alert—The Frontier Monitoring Station was hit by abnormal psychic fluctuations, and 90% of the corresponding inspectors fell into an incurable state of soul shock!"
"—alert—the source is approaching—they're coming!"
boom!
Until this moment, the top leaders of the Eldar clan located in the frontier port area all heard a terrifying roar that resounded deep in their souls. Except for the military minister, who was the strongest, everyone else was affected by this seemingly endless memory. The loud noise of the infinite corrosive power of the soul shook the thinking center into chaos, making it impossible to think at all for a while.
Using the soul as the source to obtain self-awareness and wisdom, as large insects, the Eldar are naturally a race that awakens spiritual energy. In fact, most races without ontological thinking organs obtain extraordinary power based on spiritual energy. This is also the reason for the entire The normal state of the multiverse, the most universal supernatural power. The psychic energy itself can also be easily converted by other powers. As long as the soul is strong enough, it will have powerful psychic power.
The roar that erupted at the soul level just now made all the spirit races understand in an instant that the power of the coming existence was almost beyond their imagination.
"Check...check the source of this soul roar. I want to know where it is now!"
Nowadays, only the Minister of Military Affairs has enough thinking ability. He immediately directly communicated with the automatic program of the subspace detection equipment, allowing it to detect the previous abnormal impact.
But the result was extremely horrifying.
"Unable to distinguish - Warning, the psychic fluctuations are too strong, and the automatic program cannot distinguish the main source of the psychic fluctuations - Warning, a super-large subspace shock is occurring, please suspend the navigation of all ships, and confirm the location of the station fixed at the port. At the anchor point of time and space!”
"—The optical monitoring lens is restored to function, the magic energy monitoring lens is restored to function, the unknown target is taking off its surface barrier, and the image is being transmitted... Transmission successful!"
Soon, the eldest princess and others, who were gradually waking up, and the military minister saw the blurry pictures sent by the automatic detection program.
It was an extremely huge beast, as majestic as the world.
Accompanied by the space-time shock that even the Void Port could clearly detect, eight familiar but unfamiliar void behemoths broke through the material barrier created by the rotation of the galaxy, and sailed rapidly in the dust cloud at the edge of the world's galaxy. Slowing down, as if preparing to land, these giant beasts cut through the void, breaking through the haze, breaking up the large amounts of condensed clouds that were gathering in the dust cloud, just like savages who didn't care about crushing the flowers and plants on the roadside, and headed towards Speeding away quickly toward the target star field.
"Are those void beasts—and other fleets?!"
Seeing these giant beasts in the void, all the top leaders of the Eldar clan exclaimed in unison. The fleet of giant beasts that destroyed their country in the past appeared again, filling their hearts with anger, but soon, the images that followed made them... The big bugs calmed down.
Wrapped in the center by eight giant void beasts, it seems inconspicuous, but it releases a silver ball that is brighter than a star, and three strange fleets are led by this light and appear through the clouds.
The stable space-time field visible to the naked eye is so eye-catching that anyone can tell from the momentum that the eight giant void beasts are just beings driven by the silver sphere and the fleet behind them. The main body of the entire weird fleet is actually that one. A seemingly small fleet of silver steel, their technology is indistinguishable from the Eldar's perspective, and there is nothing good or bad about it.
As for the Eldar capital star field, the origin mother planet, the nominal empress of the empire, and the actual managers of the entire country, the imperial prime minister and cabinet all watched in silence as the psychic communications continued to be sent.
"The unknown existence has appeared - it is a strange joint fleet composed of four parts, some of which are individuals from the void fleet group that invaded us in the past... They are the ones we have detected before and are approaching our galaxy. The source of subspace energy waves.”
"According to the images, the mass of the fleet is not enough to cause the terrifying subspace oscillation of the previous level. We have detected a huge gravitational source, but cannot identify its main body. We suspect that this is just the forward of the real fleet of an unknown force. Its main body is still in the silent void and has not yet arrived. So far, everything is very confusing. The unknown existence does not accept any psychic wave communication and does not respond to any calls. They may be using another type of hyperspace communication. equipment."
At this point, the suggestions given by the major monitoring agencies were clearly divided into two factions.
"Empire - Our galaxy is being invaded by powerful void forces from otherworldly galaxies. We are facing an unprecedented battle. The unknown force is extremely powerful. Before the opponent's main fleet arrives, we must strike first!"
"We may try to mobilize communication bands to contact each other. There is no need for a meaningless battle. Before the alertness and conflicts caused by unknowns and doubts cause conflict between the two sides, we must start a real communication!"
After a short landing and communication, the entire empire's top management didn't know what to choose for a while - they discovered that they actually knew nothing about these alien fleets from unknown areas, and they didn't know the strength, technology and existence of each other. It was the so-called familiar Void Behemoth, but they had only seen it before. They had only heard about the strength of the Void Behemoth, and had never fought an evenly matched battle.
What made the Eldar make up their mind was the series of actions performed by the unknown fleet afterwards.
After the black information shielding barrier was removed, the actions of the entire alien fleet could be seen by a simple detection array - the huge void beast broke through the interference in the dust cloud area and led the fleet to a target star. Domain, the silver ball wrapped in the center by the giant beast released a translucent halo covering the entire star domain, and all automatic fortresses and void outposts in the entire star domain suddenly stopped operating.
The next moment, even the long-distance detection array dimmed for a moment, because the space-time stabilizing field was cancelled, and the fleet's own too strong energy spurt created an artificial 'little magic wave' in the Jetrum star field. 'Phenomenon.
Then, news came that several inanimate worlds had their world barriers shattered, as well as extremely violent space-time oscillations.
"—Highest Warning—The eight inanimate world barriers in the Jetrum star field have been destroyed, and the void beast is eating!"
"A large-scale tearing of the space-time structure occurred in the Jetrum star field. We detected extremely complex magic energy fluctuations. The unknown fleet seems to be building a super giant space-time rift centered on the Jetrum world - they It seems that they want to build a huge space-time hub, a huge 'star gate'! We also intercepted the signals of these fleets communicating with each other... They are hungry, crazy and chaotic. They seem to be cheering that has been suppressed for a long time. Now they are full of Joy, sounds like a carnival!”
"They move quickly and have clear goals. We have no time. If the space-time hub and star gate are all constructed, when the main body of the alien fleet arrives, we will have no chance of winning!"
This horrifying information immediately became the last straw that overwhelmed the decision-making of the top leaders of the Eldar clan.
"…Expand, attack!"
Today’s first update, and there is a second update.
Wearing three layers of clothes while coding, I really want to wear gloves...
