Everyone has to pay a price for their choices.
The Wotan Alliance will also pay the price for its stupidity.
Durin commands one of the most powerful fleets in the Alliance.
Each ship is built using technology from humanity's Golden Age.
It was built using the advanced technology recorded in the ancestral core that the galactic humans had long forgotten.
These ships possess terrible destructive power.
It can easily destroy a world, stripping away all life in it, turning it into a true hell.
Thanks to those technologies, the Wotan Alliance was able to occupy such a vast territory.
However, the technology in the hands of the Empire was apparently a little weirder than they had imagined.
No matter how many times they destroyed the Imperial ships it was meaningless.
They always return to their original state.
Destroyed again and again, restored again and again.
No matter how hard they tried, they could not truly destroy an Imperial ship.
The Imperial ships changed direction, adjusting their guns to attack the Wotan Alliance ships.
According to previous tactics, the first wave is always a conventional attack.
Light spears and container-sized shells, as well as torpedoes.
The Wotan Alliance's spacecraft activated the space-time force field protection.
Rapid alarms rang out on every ship of the Wotan Alliance.
The Empire used a saturation attack, using a barrage of barrages to continuously attack the ships of the Wotan Alliance.
The space-time force field that shone with a faint glow eliminated all the attacks of the empire into nothingness amid the screams of the system.
Artillery fire powerful enough to flatten a city gleamed in the void.
The light-sensing device at the porthole made a buzzing sound to prevent the strong light from hurting the crew's eyes.
In the command room of the flagship.
Du Lin stood in front of a suspended spherical strategic instrument.
Many technical experts from the alliance, representatives from various major forces, and generals from well-known families also stood around the strategic instrument.
For this raid, they spent a lot of effort to assemble this powerful fleet.
Many of the ships are of alarming age.
The fathers of those sailors had served on these ships.
Superior performance, but expensive.
After going through so much, he still maintains a strong fighting capacity.
I thought this was just an easy raid.
The Wotan Alliance will use clean warfare to show its muscle to the Empire.
However, the empire was more powerful than one could imagine.
Their raid had failed.
Their artillery fire was simply not enough to defeat the empire.
It's just a futile waste of ammunition.
If the surprise attack fails, we can only fight a frontal battle.
No matter what, they are going to get rid of each other.
If the Empire were to gain a foothold in the Andromeda Nebula, there would be a long battle to be fought.
There is a high possibility that it will turn into an all-out war.
What's worse, demons will appear and join the battle.
By then, the situation was even worse.
"What's up with those guys' boat?"
Du Lin looked at the team of technical experts standing beside him.
They are urgently debugging the data and analyzing the battlefield.
A man in a white research coat stood up.
The information window floated beside him, casting a faint light.
"The scanning device detected abnormal time flow data in the void. We have reason to suspect that those guys have mastered the technology of time reversal. When their ships are damaged, they will rewind to the time before the damage."
"Go back in time!
"Du Lin frowned: "If we want to popularize such technology on a large scale, even the Alliance can't do it, so how can they do it!
Isn’t it said that their technology is constantly regressing
”
Before the war officially broke out, the military assessment department conducted a comprehensive analysis of the Human Empire.
The diplomatic team at the time also boarded their ship several times.
Everyone came back with the same story and opinions.
The Empire no longer has any semblance of rationality.
The technology used on those ships can only be described as barbaric and backward.
So-called wetware can be found everywhere.
Combine the human body and the machine and use them as automatic artillery.
Cut off a person's head, soak it in a special liquid, and let him act as a meditator.
There are also those modified machine slaves, cherubim, and servoskulls.
A combination of flesh and machinery.
Primitive and inefficient lighting tools such as fire pots and candles were placed everywhere.
There is weirdness everywhere.
Technicians, who are supposed to be the representatives of rationality and civilization, are displaying all kinds of bizarre and confusing mechanical superstitious behaviors.
They would light incense and apply fragrant oil in front of the machine to pray that the so-called machine soul could operate normally.
Such behavior is simply incomprehensible.
Machines are just machines, how can they have souls
In addition to these, there are also various priests dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Holding the emperor's holy image, they sang praises day and night.
It was all unimaginable.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have believed that such behavior could happen on a ship capable of interstellar travel.
It was because of the foolish behavior of the Empire that many senior leaders of the alliance became more confident in starting a war.
The humans of the galaxy have regressed to the point of ignorance.
Seems irrational.
But now the other party actually possesses the time-reversal technology that even the Wotan Alliance does not have, and is applying it on a large scale.
"Maybe it's because they have been blessed by the evil god." The technician expressed his guess.
This statement made Du Lin feel a little better.
A group of close relatives who have been struggling in the quagmire of the Milky Way for so long have more advanced technology than those of them who enjoy a peaceful life.
Wouldn't that make them look stupid!
It will make people feel like they have worked hard to study, make money, and become a superior person, but then they find that the goddess they like has been conquered by an unemployed yellow-haired guy, who doesn't even look at the guy who has worked hard and has a crush on them. It will inevitably make people feel unbalanced and don't know where they lost.
But if there is a reversal, and the yellow-haired man is the illegitimate son of the richest man, then he will definitely feel much more balanced psychologically.
The technology in the universe does not only come from the laws of physics itself, but also from subspace.
That so-called empire is unable to research physical technology, so it can probably only make up for the technological gap through the subspace.
You have to know that those in the galaxy are called evil gods, so it is not surprising that they have this ability.
The strength of the empire is built on the strength of the evil god.
The Wotan Alliance is the most powerful.
"Then what should we do?" Du Lin asked. "If we continue to fight the naval battle like this, the probability of our loss is very high. We must think of other ways."
"It is impossible for their time device to be popularized to every individual. If we can find an opportunity to board their ships and fight, there may be a chance to change the situation of the war."
"This method is indeed good. Their time travel is likely only for ships. Those who operate the ships are dead, and they are dead."
Several technical experts started a discussion.
One person even opened the information interface and performed some calculations on it.
Du Lin thought of some bad things.
What if we launch a surprise attack on the Empire's ships and encounter those huge and barbaric warriors!
The size of those warriors alone gives people an irresistible sense of oppression.
The sound of an alarm interrupted his thoughts.
A Wotan Alliance warship was torn to pieces.
The Empire used other means to attack the Wotan Alliance's ships, destroying the protective layer of the space-time force field.
"We've discovered abnormal fluctuations in the space-time field." A dwarf operating the ship yelled, "Those damn guys created a dimensional hole in space and time. The Heru was torn apart. We have to leave. The hole is expanding."
The Wotan Alliance fleet, which originally wanted to rely on the space-time force field to resist the attack of imperial ships, was forced to disperse.
They attempted to flee the wrecked ship.
Engine flames shot out from the reactor, pushing the huge hull to move in the void, escaping from the disaster site.
Space was like the ups and downs of the waves. A ship was torn apart in the ups and downs of the waves of time and space, and countless fragments were swept away and followed the ups and downs.
Some smaller ships do not have sufficient thrust.
Even if they pushed the thrust rod to the end, it would be like being nailed in the void and unable to move.
The dimensional void formed an invisible vortex in the void.
It releases a powerful gravitational force.
Any ship that fails to reach the escape velocity will be sucked into the vortex, sucking everything in and crushing it.
Through the observation device, Du Lin saw what would happen to the ship when it was swept by the ripples caused by the hole in the space-time dimension.
Just like the reflection in the water, as a stone falls to the ground, it breaks into thousands of fragments of different arcs.
One after another, the ships of the Wotan Alliance disintegrated in the ripples caused by the dimensional hole.
There was debris and wreckage everywhere.
Filling the entire starry sky.
The battle damage report turned red and listed a long list of red warships.
All destroyed by the Empire.
“Their weapons!
"Durin's words were filled with fear.
"Commander, we must evacuate." A staff officer said, "Those damned Imperials have mastered weapons such as time and space dimensions. The defense measures on our ships cannot defend against such attacks."
"We can't retreat. The number of their ships is far less than ours. If we retreat now, we will only be in a more passive position when they gather enough ships."
Durin was not a brainless man. He knew very well what the evacuation would mean to the Wotan Alliance.
Their number of ships was more than ten times that of the enemy, but they still had a hard time fighting.
If the Empire could gather enough ships, the destruction of the Wotan Alliance would be imminent.
They must eliminate the Empire's base at all costs.
Destroying the intergalactic communications and navigation devices they might have used would make it impossible for the Empire to assemble enough fleets.
There is only a slight chance of victory.
Once they establish convenient intergalactic communications, they can guide those ships over continuously.
The Wotan Alliance will definitely suffer a devastating disaster.
There are more Wotan Alliance ships on their way here.
Even if it means wasting time, we have to win.
"Overload their shields, don't destroy their ships. Let the commandos launch a boarding operation and kill all their crews." Durin could only adopt the advice of the technical expert.
We can only hope that the damn empire will not be so arrogant as to use the time-reversal device on an individual.
In that case, they still have a chance to defeat the opponent.
Du Lin's decision was both right and wrong.
The Empire did not place the time-reversal device on any individual. As long as all the crew members were killed, the ships would be left unmanned and naturally there would be no threat.
The problem is that the one who is now in charge of the exploration team is no longer Kren, the mechanical sage who is devoted to researching things.
Instead, it was handed over to the hands of the Primaris warriors.
On board each ship were Primaris warriors of the Pathfinders Chapter.
If they want to win hand-to-hand combat against the monsters created to conquer the universe and seize control of the ships, it’s hard to say that the Wotan Alliance can’t do it.
Even the minions of the gods cannot do such a thing in the real universe.
... ... ... ... ... ... .
The military force of the exploration team was transferred to the commander of the Explorers, Andro, in accordance with the emergency war law.
The news of Sage Kren's sacrifice spread quickly, and the third captain, Marog, who escaped the siege, sent the news of Sage Kren's death to the exploration team.
The news caused a storm.
Many people asked Andro to start a war to avenge the sacrifice of the Imperial Sage.
The Wotan Alliance would never have imagined what kind of big shot they had killed.
They might also see this as a political event with room for maneuver.
If the war is lost, the most we will have to pay is a little more compensation.
He had no idea what a big mistake he had made.
Once word gets back to the Empire, Terra will do everything in her power to make the Wotan Alliance pay for the death of Sage Kren.
Sage Kren was originally the Casting General of Steel Sphere. During the Indomitable Crusade, he actively supported the decisions of the Holy Emperor, mobilized Steel Sphere to provide weapons, ammunition and ships for the Indomitable Crusade, and resolutely implemented the will and orders of the Holy Emperor.
He also combined various new technologies to develop a divine brain that was vital to the empire, ushering in a new era for the empire.
The will of the God-Brain is composed of loyal servants of the Empire, not lifeless soulless intelligence.
Essentially, the divine brain is just a human being with unlimited computing power.
Through the divine brain, major hive cities, major planets, and even the empire have ushered in a leap-forward liberation of productivity.
In addition to his assistance in scientific research, Sage Kren is also a staunch supporter of the Holy Emperor in the power struggle on Terra.
Convince hostile Sages to join the Holy Emperor's side in the Beta-Garmon system.
When Mars Forge General Lasky was determined to go his own way and join other traitors in trying to seize the power of the Holy Emperor.
He joined forces with other sages to sideline the Martian Forge General, thus avoiding a civil war between Terra and Mars for power.
For this reason, Sage Kren has a very high reputation.
He is one of the most prestigious sages in the Mechanicus.
Andro knew exactly how Terra would react.
The one who died was the most influential sage of the Mechanicus.
Even if Kren's soul was taken back by the Holy Emperor, it would cost a lot of resources to resurrect it on Terra.
This incident is still an intolerable crime for countless citizens of the empire.
It has become impossible for the Empire to peacefully accept the Wotan Alliance.
Even if the Wotan Alliance changes its mind and surrenders unconditionally to the Empire, the Empire will use its army to violently destroy the local ruling institutions and kill everyone involved in Kren's death.
Andro sighed softly.
He knew that the death of Sage Kren was not the fault of Captain Marog.
Peaceful negotiations have always been advocated by the Karen sages, and it was Karen himself who joined the diplomatic mission against all odds.
If you stay on your own ship, even if you can't defeat the enemy, you can still run away.
It’s just that the temptation to persuade the Wotan League to form a peaceful alliance was too great.
If we can convince the Wotan Alliance to join the Empire and hand over the Ancestral Core without sacrificing a single soldier.
It is very likely that Sage Kren has the same reputation as Sage Belisarius Cawl.
Become the most respected sage by the Holy Emperor.
Sage Kren also thought that even if the negotiations failed, at least he could get away with it.
No matter how low one's moral integrity is, one would not kill an envoy.
Who could have thought that the Wotan Alliance was so ruthless.
The ship's prompt interrupted Andro's thoughts.
Several interfaces popped up, with scarlet text appearing.
Hint that the enemy is trying to teleport into the Imperial ship.
Andro switched the interface and found that the warriors of the Wotan Alliance wearing armor broke into the interior of the imperial ship.
They killed anyone they saw.
Trying to paralyze the Empire's ships through such means.
"Get rid of the invaders and have the Celestial-class battleships lock down the space. We cannot let any enemy escape." Andro connected to the regiment's communication channel: "Let them know what a wrong decision they made."
