"Your Majesty! We have received a message for help! From a third party!" I was stunned by this sudden report, and Pandora and Viska had disappeared into the light of the transmitter. Before they teleported away, I Seeing that Viska tried to jump back like a runaway little animal, but it was too late—that girl was full of curiosity, she must have been attracted by the sudden news and wanted to stay and watch the excitement.
I saw her bumping her head against the safety shield of the transmitter, then covering her head and grinning, she disappeared into a white light, and in the next second she appeared in the outer space with her whole body tilted at a 45-degree free rotation inside.
Pandora next to her silently glanced at her very unseemly sister, and calmly opened a distance of several tens of kilometers, and began to summon the overwhelming floating cannons to carry out her favorite artillery plowing activity.
The enemy's counterattack was temporarily suppressed, while Odysseus and Rena remained on hold under my order. They had to wait for the last moment before the enemy's follow-up troops entered the battlefield, and suddenly attack when the opponent's mood was most relaxed.
And the enemy's follow-up troops will arrive in more than ten minutes: they should have received the report that the vanguard troops are in a hard fight, and they are rushing here at a faster speed, but their actions completely fall into Xiaoxue's eyes, including their current rapid march , have been calculated hours ago.
"Help information? What's the situation?" I turned to the command hall below the officer's platform, and an officer in charge of the intelligence system stood up from his seat: "Your Majesty, we are analyzing the source of the signal, but it is speculated that the source has been destroyed. Now from that The frequency band has not received any information..." "Is that third-party information?" Sivis frowned, "If it doesn't belong to us, lower the priority, we didn't..." Sivis followed the standard imperial ** Acting according to the policy is also the habit of normal military officers in this situation. A request for help from a third party is likely to be sent by an indigenous civilization in this universe—perhaps because of some trivial things that may seem trivial to Sivis For example, their star suddenly turned off, and now it is the most intense moment of fighting, such a message for help will naturally be ignored as background clutter.
However, Xiaoxue stood up suddenly before Sivis finished speaking: "No, this matter is a bit interesting.
"His Royal Highness?" Sivis looked at Xiaoxue in confusion.
"When did the request for help come?" Xiaoxue nodded to the intelligence officer while motioning Sivis to continue doing her own thing.
"Yes, the information was sent six hours ago, but due to insufficient priority and channel blocking, this information was automatically sunk to the bottom of the buffer pool as redundant information, and it was just re-read ten minutes ago.
The content of the request for help is as follows: We are being pursued by the enemy and the situation is critical. The fleet has lost the ability to return. We hope that any friendly and capable civilization in the local area can provide support. The enemies we are facing are extremely destructive, and they may also be harmful to your world. threatening.
The coded form of the call for help is undocumented, presumably from an undocumented civilization. "
"Although this is in the far frontier, it is also within the territory of the empire." Xiaoxue turned her head and glanced at me, "Dad, theoretically, no unregistered civilization should appear in this place, and any civilization that develops to an appropriate stage in the macro world will be registered." Yes, unless they are primitive."
"That is to say..." I looked at the translated help message on the data terminal, "This may be an alien civilization that masters cross-world navigation technology, and happened to pass by the Empire District?" My sister nodded slightly: " And probably just mastering the art of sailing across the world.
Civilizations with the ability to sail across borders are generally noticed as soon as they appear, and we have never seen this one that appears now.
Moreover, the empire is well-known in the high-end civilization circle, even races outside the macro world know where the empire's borders are—those who don't know have basically been beaten.
These people who sent out the signal for help now don't seem to know that they are in the empire. They didn't ask the emperor for help, which means that they have just mastered cross-border navigation and become a high-level civilization. "
This piece of information that was almost regarded as junk information seemed to be as interesting as Xiaoxue said: it came from a group capable of sailing across borders, perhaps a small force similar to the advance team.
And this group is being pursued by a group of highly threatening enemies.
There is a sentence in the appeal letter: The enemies we face are extremely destructive, and they may also pose a threat to your world.
This makes me can't help but turn my eyes to the radar view.
That sentence may be to increase the success rate of asking for help, but overall it doesn't look like a lie.
A large area of dense red dots is flashing on the radar, and the ferocious fleet of the fallen apostles is doing their best to crush everything within their range, including this piece of cosmic space.
If there is anything so dangerous that a stupefied foreign civilization can immediately realize that it poses a threat to any world, it is only... the fallen apostle.
And more importantly, although this is within the macro world, although it is not directly under the world, it is also considered the territory of the empire. Here, the low-end civilization may know nothing about the empire, but the high-end civilization still understands the authority of the empire: they have advanced to the point where they can Aware of the extent of the existence of the empire, even high-level officials have had a direct dialogue with the empire.
As a result, these civilizations seldom break out into violent conflicts, because if their wars disrupt the balance of the local universe, it is likely to trigger the intervention of local censors: definitely the worst temporary workers in history.
Under this premise, a high-end civilization with cross-border navigation technology announced that it has been hunted down—there is only one truth.
It was the fallen apostles who were chasing them.
It is still uncertain whether they encountered each other after the fallen apostles arrived here, or were chased by the latter long before that, and did not send out the distress signal received by us until six hours ago.
Xiaoxue ordered to trace the source of the signal. The system records six hours ago showed that the request for help came from a distorted point in the depths of the universe. There may be a supermassive black hole or something else there. Maybe the person who sent the request for help People want to use the space environment there to disguise themselves, but further scans show that there is no longer any information coming out of that distortion point.
After all, it has been six hours, and we are not sure whether the people who asked for help have been discovered and eliminated by the small army of the fallen apostles, or they have escaped and temporarily hid in a safe place.
"Xiaoxue, do you know what's going on with them?" I couldn't help but turn my eyes to my daughter who was just like her mother, but the latter really deserved to be the bear child born by Xue Lin and smiled slightly: "Dad, what's going on here?" It's a secret."
Fortunately, she added a few words at the end: "But don't worry, they escaped and are now hiding in another space distortion point—for now.
It is best not to actively search for them before the battle is over, the fallen apostles are also watching, once we really scan those people... they may be killed by us. "
I nodded, and silently decided that the child's pocket money for next month would not be halved for the time being, and then turned my attention back to the battlefield.
At this moment, the shipboard main engine sounded a piercing alarm again: "Level 1 alarm! A large-scale order field has been found outside the world barrier! A large-scale order field has been found outside the world barrier! The main enemy force is expected to sink in a minute. To the material world!" This space is already crumbling, and the erosion of the void has caused the cosmological constants within a dozen light-years to be chaotic and orderly. The various laws and parameters on which the world depends have shifted to dangerous critical points, and the speed of light has been out of control. , the dark nebula in the distance appeared on the detector screen in the form of a colorful mosaic. The discontinuous effect of gravitation has caused the spaceships of both the enemy and the enemy to maintain a stable attitude by using the gravitational shielding device. After the bell, he began to attack the world barrier that had almost collapsed, and finally completely defeated all the orders here.
"The whole ship is ready to resist the impact! The mission of the hidden bombardment formation failed and failed to cause sufficient damage to the enemy's rear formation. Now return to the voyage immediately-the mothership formation saves the next wave of firepower to prepare for the attack."
I quickly turned to the communicator: "Odysseus, Rena, move!" A mirage fleet that tirelessly launched an "attack" on the Fallen Apostles from 0.5 light-years away, but was completely ignored by the latter.
Those ridiculous geometric figures that look like children's building blocks have no power and no defense. The fallen apostles have long believed that they are things projected by the empire to disturb the sight. They eliminated some of the phantoms and found that the latter After they can regenerate quickly, they completely ignore these things. They may think that they have cracked the empire's mirage tactics in this way, and they probably still think so.
Until the moment when the follow-up main force of the fallen apostles jumped into the battlefield.
The mirage fleet immediately launched the same attack on the enemy's reinforcements, using those strange-looking lights and light balls. Of course, the commanders of the two groups of enemy troops had contacted in advance, so the reinforcements of the fallen apostles had no effect on the incoming firepower. Make any defensive posture—all of their attention is focused on the energy-drenched galaxy main cannons of the Imperial Army's main formation.
Our excellent intelligence officer and information tactics center intercepted a communication of the enemy on a secondary encrypted channel: "Second echelon, ignore those phantom fleets, they are diverting our firepower, they are powerless!" "First echelon, I last year I bought a watch!" The above communication has undergone some artistic processing, but it basically has the same meaning... Anyway, the second echelon of the fallen apostles was hit by tens of thousands of spellcasters who spent half an hour with their big moves. Dozens of Eternal-class motherships in a brigade were instantly emptied of blood.
Those theoretically mere phantom geometric bodies began to lose their camouflage after the first round of strikes took effect, revealing their true colors. The commander of the fallen apostles was shocked to see the theoretically completely extinct old empire arms: the magic vanguard and the arcane army. Law Enforcement Officer.
A stunned scene appeared, those caster soldiers who emerged from the darkness turned into human torches one by one, and the blazing energy flames rose from the bodies of these soldiers, and quickly swallowed them completely. In just two seconds, all the casters turned into blazing dazzling fireballs. These huge blue and white fireballs began to merge with each other and expanded rapidly. After this series of changes that left me dumbfounded, the caster troops disappeared , and replaced it... It turned out to be a cloud cluster that permeated the interstellar space with undulating edges! The space combat forms transformed by tens of thousands of mana vanguards and arcane consuls were completely beyond my expectations. I thought they should at least look like a group of fully armed soldiers, but now they even gave up their human form and turned to And turned into an interstellar cloud? I immediately checked the fighting styles of these two soldiers quickly, and then I felt that this world is too tm wonderful-.
The army of the mysterious department has a special way of fighting. Of course they also use powerful starships to fight, but in the case of insufficient starships, they have another proud ability, which is to temporarily change their own Life form · Then merge with friendly forces to become a more powerful individual, and exchange for a sharp increase in power with a sharp decrease in number. This is their space combat stance.
Every kind of Xiling apostle has a form specially used for space combat, and it is said that the space combat of the mysterious apostles is the weirdest one.
Now I am fortunate enough to witness this scene with my own eyes.
This interstellar cloud is so bright in contrast to the dark nebula that they... or rather, it looks like a diluted sun (forgive me for being such a bizarre adjective), The energy reaction inside it was unprecedentedly violent. Tens of thousands of elite apostles unreservedly fused their power together to form an aggregate "monster" whose combat effectiveness was comparable to that of an aircraft carrier formation. The fallen apostle who came over launched a fierce arcane lightning that was more magnificent than the main cannon of the galaxy. This super-light-speed attack completely tore apart the space that was on the verge of collapse, so that more than a dozen people appeared in the position of the fallen apostle. A fragmented lightning image, and then the shields of a large number of small and medium-sized warships began to overload and explode.
Both Odysseus and Rena knew that even if the soldiers they led formed such an aggregate, they could not directly fight against the mothership: it was not the soldier's duty to fight against the heavy mothership itself.
Therefore, from the very beginning, their targets were small and medium spaceships that lack strong protection.
The surprise attack of these spellcasters can only produce great results in the early stage. After all, they are still a single-soldier team (although I feel very entangled in saying this when I look at the energy cloud whose size is equivalent to an asteroid). In terms of combat and survivability, it couldn't match the battleship, so just when the fallen apostle was about to recover from the state of shock, Sivis ordered the imperial army to launch the strongest attack since the war started.
Two serious mistakes in tactics caused the Fallen Apostle Fleet, which had a slight advantage in military strength, to gradually fall into a disadvantage, but it seems that it is not easy for the Empire to win.
It is most regrettable that our stealth bombing formation failed to achieve the expected results.
The enemy commander we are facing this time is a guy who is surprisingly successful in offense and as impermeable as a tortoise shell in defense. The hidden bombardment fleet only had time to drop the first batch of heavy space implosions after approaching the enemy's rear formation under cover. He was spotted by the opponent and hit back with intensive firepower.
Now we have to maintain the advantage brought by the two raids (one on the world barrier, and the one that Odysseus and the others just successfully carried out) and slowly expand it to win.
The battlefield has now been divided into three firepower areas, two of which are of course the Imperial Army and the Fallen Apostle fleet that are in full swing, and the third is a large interstellar cloud that has reached the edge of the battlefield.
This bright energy haze is still expanding rapidly, and now it has the size of a giant planet, and its energy response is getting more and more amazing. I am very troubled to introduce it to you. This is our mage troop...they are now It has turned into a cloud of gas.
After the battle started, this cloud continued to jump towards the battlefield in response to the enemy's artillery fire, just like a small sun that could leap, and it spanned a distance of 0.5 light-years in just ten minutes. Arrived at the Fallen Apostle's flank.
This is the first time that the new empire's caster troops have appeared on the frontal battlefield, and the scale of the appearance is so large. The fallen apostles must be very shocked now. I guess they are greeting the whole family of the heads of all levels of their intelligence department—well, if Greetings to other people's families are also popular among the fallen apostles.
Obviously, the threat posed by the tens of thousands of elite fighters led by Odysseus and Reina is very great. After entering the fusion state, they are almost as powerful as a group of motherships in an independent formation.
This cloud is rolling rapidly, and now it is faintly turning into a hurricane like a space storm. The violent arcane lightning directly tore through the space and bombarded the enemy's weaker fleet. The fallen apostle had to devote a lot of energy to deal with this fast Storm clouds close to you: These legal units that suddenly appeared have completely disrupted the enemy's deployment.
Now I have almost seen some tricks. There is a huge difference between the caster troops and the apostles of the science and technology department. The former does not have those amazingly powerful equipment. The combat power brought out by the integrated posture of the fighter completely makes up for the lack of individual equipment.
Now the cloud is splitting all the damage: all attacks from enemies do little damage to the disembodied cloud, and the damage is evenly distributed among each member of the cloud.
The inside of the cloud seems to have a structure. Through the close-up pictures sent back by the probe, you can see the high-speed energy circle inside the cloud and the flickering, randomly arranged light balls. These structures can generate attacks, and can also Dispersing damage, and presumably also having the function of repairing the assembly, they... are like organs in the body of a giant beast.
All the spellcasters merged into a monster with magical energy that devours celestial bodies, and this monster can also launch three photosensitive waves per second... At this moment, Xiaoxue suddenly interrupted my association: "Dad, the enemy The flagship unit is exposed!" RT
