Just as the lighthouse star sounded the alarm, at the edge of the warning sector, more than three million battleships of the Ark of the Fallen formed a long formation like a long dragon, and were constantly going deep into the hinterland of the defense line.
Among the main ships, Ability God and his powerful subordinate Hakisen looked at the star map, and the distance between the lighthouse star marked as a red target and them was gradually shortening.
"Boss, we have entered the warning range of Beacon Star, and the radar shows that the Imperial fleet patrolling nearby is heading towards us, and will soon engage in battle."
Hakison said, scratching the back of his neck with his long tongue.
"Try to speed up and don't be held back."
Ability God's tone is light, this time it is not a clone, but the deity is present.
Hakisen flicked his tongue and said, "Even if we cooperate, Ethereal Religion is still wary of us, not only did not disclose their specific action plan, but also changed the location of their secret stargate, obviously to beware of us. , I don't know when they will attack and what direction they will attack."
Ability God doesn’t care, the cooperation between the two parties is to seek skin with the tiger, and it is normal to be on guard against each other, just like he will not tell Ethereal Religion where his secret Stargate is built.
With the lighthouse star as the center, the warning sector as a buffer zone is very large. Once the enemy is found and there is enough time to mobilize the troops, they will not be able to reach the lighthouse star for a while. So although Ethereal Religion operates secretly, Ability God can guess their thoughts.
It is nothing more than letting himself play the front line. With the size of his fleet, it is not enough for the empire to abandon the lighthouse star outpost. After he breaks through to the lighthouse star all the way, and entangles the three Transcendent A Grades of Black Star so that they can't escape easily. The spiritual sect will attack, and the reason for this is to prevent the enemy from scaring away.
Ability God feels that he is inseparable from the intentions of Ethereal Religion. The only suspense is how much advanced combat power Ethereal Religion has sent this time.
The Empire has three Transcendent A Grades, and Milizaus’s combat power can barely be compared to himself, so Ethereal Religion only needs to deal with Black Star and Beoni.
And there is still a big gap between the combat power of these two and the top Super A Grade. To be safe, Ethereal Religion can send more than four Transcendent A Grades to crush each other.
'I don't know who Ethereal Religion sent out this time... '
Ability God squinted his eyes, if the person who came is too strong, he has to be careful not to be blackened by the black.
At this time, the fleet that the empire came to meet finally arrived and appeared on the radar.
Hakisen looked at Ability God's face, and seeing that the boss didn't mean to speak, he gave orders for Ability God.
"Open fire freely! Destroy all blocking enemy ships!"
…
The Beacon Star has entered the highest alert state, and the three Transcendent A Grades followed Tarrokov to the remote combat command room.
A large number of officers gathered in the room, and countless information was sent back from the battlefield and handed over to them for processing. Tarrokov stood in front of the huge three-dimensional projection of the battlefield with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed and his face serious.
The picture projected on the battlefield is exactly the scene of the battle between the Ark of the Fallen fleet and the outer guard fleet of the empire. The spaceships of the enemy and the enemy have been shrunk countless times, completely restoring the scene of the battlefield, as if two mini fleets are fighting in front of everyone, vividly. Around the battlefield projection, there is a reduced warning sector abbreviated star map, the lighthouse star is highlighted, the reduced planet projection glows, and a red line is stretched out to connect with the enemy fleet—this represents the current distance between the two sides.
"There are about 3.2 million enemy ships. This is a huge fleet that can send this fleet into Glittering World. This force is very powerful, and their origins cannot be seen from the model of the spaceship."
a staff lieutenant said.
"The biggest possibility is Ethereal Religion." Speaking, Tarrokov glanced at Han Xiao, and then said: "But the possibility of other forces cannot be ruled out."
Han Xiao noticed his eyes and said in a positive tone: "It's Ethereal Religion."
Tarrokov glanced at him again, nodded slowly, and said calmly, "Understood."
Han Xiao looked calm, but was actually extremely dignified.
His words were not speculation. Just after this mysterious fleet appeared, a task trigger prompt popped up on his panel, and the task introduction revealed that this was the action of Ethereal Religion.
[You have triggered the emergency mission [Cause and Effect]! ]
[Mission introduction: You took the transformation block and attracted the hostility of Ethereal Religion. Today they finally acted and decided to carry out a thunder strike on you and retake the evolution block in your hand! ]
[Task requirements: Repel the enemy or escape successfully]
[Failure Condition: 1. Death]
[2. Lose the evolution block]
[Reward: 240e~450e experience, fame +1, random reward x3, unknown character card x3]
When he saw the reward, Han Xiao was shocked.
Minimum 24 billion experience reward? ! When I played Heboar, the highest level reward of the mission was only 8.5 billion experience!
Even in his eyes, this is a huge experience!
Han Xiao is not happy at all, because the reward is proportional to the difficulty, such a high reward means that the attack of Ethereal Religion will be unprecedentedly terrifying! A maximum of more than 40 billion experience, this is the meaning of more than five Transcendent A Grades!
Who can resist this!
Although Han Xiao secretly invited other foreign aid to be safe, he couldn't help but want to retreat, but at the same time he was vigilant:
- If you escape through the star gate now, it is reasonable to say that it is very safe, but there is a minimum reward of more than 20 billion for successful escape. Will it be so easy to complete the task
Maybe Ethereal Religion has any unknown means. If he runs away now, he will be caught alone
He is under heavy protection, and he is still safe. If he runs away when he sees the enemy, he will be looked down upon by the empire. After thinking about it, Han Xiao did not act rashly for the time being, but followed Tarrokov to the war room, intending to wait and see the situation.
The buffer zone is wide enough, and it's not too late to see the situation for yourself and decide whether to run or not.
'The mission is called cause and effect... Hey, as expected, other people's cosmic treasures are not so easy to get. 'Han Xiao grinned secretly.
However, no one present knew his mental activity.
Tarrokov watched the changes on the battlefield attentively, and slowly issued the order:
"Notify all the imperial ally forces that go out to explore, all Transcendent A Grade combat power will return immediately, and help Beacon Star as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Han Xiao's eyes lit up and nodded secretly.
Obviously Tarrokov also noticed this, and the commander-in-chief still has vision.
There are three more imperial super-a-level combat powers to explore in Glittering World, Heboar, Ravenlaud, and the mechanic Maxirol of the one-sided relationship, if they all come back and the six super-a-levels gather, then Basically no enemy.
Without knowing how many advanced combat power Ethereal Religion has, Tarrokov doesn't care about making a fuss. His style is stable and not afraid of trouble. Even if it proves to be unnecessary after the fact, it is better than regret.
"There is a message from the imperial fleet at war that they are asking for help. They can't stop the enemy. Commander-in-chief, do we send peripheral security troops from other areas nearby to help?"
Tarrokov squinted and observed for a while, "Only mobilize the guard troops in that direction, and do not move the peripheral troops in other directions, and the rest will be sent by the Beacon Star headquarters."
Beoni was a little surprised. "Sending a fleet from the headquarters will take a lot of time on the road. This group of enemies will advance for a long distance. Why not directly mobilize the outer fleet?"
Tarrokov said solemnly: "The enemy's fleet goes deep alone, and there is no sign. I don't think this is a large troop of Ethereal Religion, but an advance army. The purpose is to involve our peripheral defense line and let vigilance. There are vacancies in the sector. And their large troops will take advantage of the loopholes in the warning sector and rush in from other directions, forming a situation of two-sided or even multi-sided attack, let us take care of one thing and lose the other, this should be Ethereal Religion's tactics. "
After listening to the commander-in-chief's explanation, everyone took a closer look at the situation and had to admit that this was a plan that the enemy was likely to adopt, which was seen through by Tarrokov, and there was nothing wrong with this approach.
"But this is only a temporary response. Next, we need information. We must find out how many Transcendent A Grade combat powers are in the enemy's fleet."
Tarrokov turned his head to look at the three, the meaning is self-evident, only the same level can force the same level to shoot.
"Leave it to my long-range troops."
Han Xiao nodded, he is the enemy's target, the key person in this battle, in this case, the three Transcendent A Grades are not suitable for separation.
And the long-range troops he sent out during this time are now just right to play a role.
…
"What? The Lighthouse Star was attacked?!"
The Renoir star cluster, the War Realm fleet, Heboar, who was bathing in the stars, quickly received the news from Joad, and his face could not help changing.
"The enemy is Ethereal Religion, and the target is Black Star. Commander-in-chief Tarrokov wants us to go back to support... Your Excellency Tyrant, what should we do?" Joad asked cautiously.
Heboar frowned, the two still had a rift, and he didn't want to help Black Star.
However, he immediately thought of something, and his brows slowly loosened.
"Since it's an order from the Empire, let's go to support, notify my headquarters fleet, and go to the nearest Stargate jumping point at full speed!"
Heboar's fleet quickly turned around and headed towards the star gate leading to the lighthouse star at full speed.
Although there is a grudge with Han Xiao, this time it is about the dignity of the empire. As a member of the empire, maintaining the status of the empire is in line with their own interests.
On the other side, the Gaolu Star Cluster, the Arcane Research Institute fleet.
Ravenlaud also received Tarrokov's request for help, and after reading it, his face was expressionless.
Black Star's life and death have nothing to do with him, he is eager to have one less competitor...
But unfortunately, his power is in the central Xinghai, relying on the care of the empire.
This kind of trivial matter is not suitable for disobeying the order of the empire, so he had to bring people to support.
Soon, he discovered an annoying thing. The Stargate transportation network built by Black Star in the Gaolu star cluster suddenly became a fast support channel, which provided convenience for the rescue. Even if he wanted to delay in the middle, there was no excuse.
At this moment, Raven Lauder had a flash of inspiration and was suddenly shocked.
—Could it be that Black Star’s construction of long-distance Stargate passages calculated this in advance? !
By the way, it must be true, otherwise he can't imagine why Black Star has to sacrifice his own interests and take the initiative to build a long-distance Stargate passage.
Ravenlaud suddenly realized that he didn't understand Black Star's "true intention" until now, and even laughed at other people's thoughts before that, even if he was not thin-skinned, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
…
The fleet of Ability God gradually penetrated into the hinterland of the warning sector, and while advancing, it fought with the imperial fleet, and the front was dragged for a long time.
The imperial fleet put bubbles along the way to stabilize the time and space coefficient, so that neither side could enter the transition state, and the speed of the Ability God fleet inevitably slowed down and was constantly harassed.
Millions of warships exchange fire, forming a picture of a large-scale interstellar war.
Bright energy beams of various colors criss-crossed the dark universe, silently carrying a chilling murderous intent, and the spaceships were smashed and turned into fireworks in the universe.
In the battlefield, there is a group of special combat units. It is the long-range mechanical troops sent by Han Xiao. Like a group of crows, they shuttle back and forth in the formation of the Ark Fleet of the Fallen, and shoot a shot between the lightning and thunder of Mechanical Force. The flickering nether energy beams blasted clusters of dark blue chain explosive energy clusters on the shields and outer armor of the quadrangular warships.
This mechanical troop has more than 100,000 mechanical soldiers, which are in a state of mechanical force bonus, their performance has been greatly increased, and they have reached the level of super-a level combat power. They are invincible in the battlefield, killing seven in and seven out. , destroyed a large number of enemy ships, and its own casualty rate was quite slow.
Energy burst! Another three enemy ships were destroyed by concentrated fire, and the mechanical troop was about to find the next target. At this moment, a surging black-red energy column passed through the explosive flame of the spacecraft, slammed into the formation of the mechanical troop, and devoured it instantly. Small half army.
After the beam of light passed through, I saw that the mechanical soldiers that were hit had already been turned into scorched discarded parts.
Han Xiao, who is far away from the remote control of the lighthouse star, condensed his eyes.
"The enemy's Transcendent A Grade has started! Such an attack power... is not an ordinary guy."
Through the vision of the mechanical troop, Han Xiao stared firmly at the direction of the attack, wanting to see who the enemy was, and the figure of Ability God suddenly entered his line of sight.
The next moment, Tarrokov, Milizaus, and Beoni next to him saw that Han Xiao's complexion suddenly changed.
"Have you seen clearly, who is the enemy?" Tarrokov hurriedly asked.
Han Xiao exhaled a sigh of relief, with a solemn face, "It turned out to be... an Ability God, or his body!"
As soon as these words came out, several people were stunned.
"Isn't the enemy Ethereal Religion, why is Ability God here?!"
Beoni was shocked, because he had played against Ability God in person, and he knew that Ability God was powerful and was very jealous.
Tarrokov's expression became more and more serious, "It must be Ethereal Religion who provided help to Ability God and let him leave the Central Star Sea, damn, for the Evolution Cube, they even joined forces with this kind of person!"
Ability God's combat power is well-known in the universe, but this time, he also has a long-established top Super A Grade powerhouse.
Milizaus shook his head, "I've fought Ability God many times, it's not a problem to stop him, but I can't be distracted when dealing with this guy, so I can't free up my hands to do other things.
In addition to Ability God, Ethereal Religion must have other advanced combat powers. The situation is not good for us. Commander, what do you think? "
Hearing this, Tarrokov was lost in thought.
Now the enemy has an Ability God and millions of warships on the surface, and there are at least three Transcendent A Grades and more fleets in the dark.
On my side, there are three Transcendent A Grades plus a fleet of 4 million garrisoned by Beacon Star. Naturally, we are behind in terms of combat power, but with the depth of the alert sector, we have the capital to delay time, and the empire There are more fleets in this star field, and they are coming to help from various regions.
What Tarrokov is considering is whether to retreat immediately or support until reinforcements arrive.
The enemy's target is Black Star. If you retreat now, you should be able to save Black Star. However, if the imperial outpost loses its guard, it will definitely be destroyed by the enemy, and the loss of resources is the second most important. If it is closed, then the Empire will temporarily lose the transit core of the Stargate transportation network, and its mobility will be greatly reduced.
With this in mind, he looked at the battle situation again. In addition to facing the imperial fleet of Ability God, the branch's peripheral defense fleets in other positions of the alert sector did not move, and always maintained the vigilance of their respective areas of responsibility.
Before, he also sent a part of the garrison fleet of the lighthouse star headquarters to distribute in the deep area as a rapid response force, so as to save the headquarters' rescue time and prevent the second batch of enemies from taking the opportunity to raid.
After thinking about it, Tarrokov sighed and said solemnly: "Although the situation is not good, we have the capital to persevere. Let's try our best to delay it. As long as the reinforcements arrive, we will be safe..."
Woohoo!
Before he finished speaking, a harsh alarm sounded in the war room.
"Alert! Alert! Detected abnormal space-time fluctuations in the outer orbit of the planet! The space-time coefficient is shifted, and a wormhole is being formed!"
"Wormhole? Portal?"
Tarrokov was surprised. The appearance of the wormhole really surprised him, but it was not because he was unprepared. With the technology of the Scarlet Empire, the lighthouse star must be equipped with a countermeasure device to interrupt transmission. It is impossible for the Spiritual Sect to not know this.
What he doesn't understand is, how could Ethereal Religion make such a doomed attempt? !
The picture came back, and just in the outer orbit of the lighthouse star, a distorted and folded space suddenly appeared, which was a sign of a wormhole, and the garrison of the lighthouse star also responded immediately, activating the device to stabilize the space, the effect It directly interrupts the formation of wormholes, regardless of whether the cause is magic or technology.
However, the next situation left everyone present for a while. The artificial wormhole countermeasure device that was unsatisfactory did not work, and the space folds did not stop, but the wormhole did not appear, but a strange scene occurred.
I saw the blurry phantoms of battleships gradually appear in outer space, like a mirage-like illusion.
Just when a few people were stunned, the next moment, the wrinkled space seemed to be ironed out by an invisible iron.
And this fleet is all the spaceships of Ethereal Religion, and there are also millions of battleships, including the famous butterfly main ship!
In an instant, millions of fleets descended directly to the lighthouse star!
The depth of the lighthouse star was directly ignored, but because the lighthouse star sent a lot of headquarters fleets, the guarding power of the lighthouse star was weakened - this is the tactic of Ethereal Religion.
Tarrokov suddenly remembered something, and his face changed greatly.
"This is not a wormhole teleportation. Only the Radiance Federation's strategic cosmic treasure [High-Dimensional Apocalypse Teleporter] has this effect!"
"This! Ethereal Religion actually joined forces with Radiance Federation?!"
