After a fierce battle, Harlan's army finally began to turn into a disadvantage. They obviously turned from offense to defense, and began to give up all kinds of special warfare and auxiliary ships that were not useful in this battle. Resources are concentrated on the main force.
I admit that this battle was fought a bit beyond my expectations: we didn't expect that the Harran army would suddenly wake up from that sleepwalking state, let alone the Royal Fleet of the Fallen Apostles and the Battle Group of the King's Landers who were fighting with all their strength. The above combat power, our underestimation of the enemy to a certain extent and the opponent's amazing combat power made this battle that should not have any variables more difficult. The elite troops organized by Sivis fought hard against the remnants of Harlan for such a long time. Of course, no one can deny the fighting will of the soldiers of the Imperial Army and the fighting power of the troops we brought, but the opponent is also a trump card: the Royal Fleet of the Fallen Emperor plus a dozen King's Lander battle groups (one King's Lander battleship means A core mothership plus tens of thousands of escort ships), under normal conditions, this is definitely the trump card of the trump card, especially the latter, which is no less than the combat effectiveness of the three legions.
This time the opponent still performed exceptionally well...
However, after a fierce battle, coupled with the heroic attack of those almost random Hessian tribes, Harlan's weak and incomplete army was almost crippled by us. Their main force has not yet experienced fatal attrition. This is because Harlan has an excellent commander: the fallen apostle general named Zadom is obviously very good. Details, as a layman, I can notice that all the spaceships of the Fallen Apostles are cooperating in a very precise manner, sharing almost all the damage of the Imperial Army evenly, except for a small number of shield ships that actively sacrificed in the face of the superior firepower of the Imperial Army. When it was blown up in a short time, the other spaceships were almost controlled at the critical line of continuous fighting. Sandora said frankly that this is the kind of enemy she is least willing to face: the tactics are bold enough, and they are extremely stubborn. Even in the face of the biggest disadvantage, they can still make their limited army persist until the last moment. Zadom is the kind of guy who can squeeze out the last bit of combat power and let his fleet continue to fight on the verge of death. Last time he "killed" Sandora with cunning tactics, this time he used steady With a changeable command, it has persisted for such a long time in the face of the superior imperial army.
If possible, this guy must be captured alive—this is the tacit consensus reached by Sandora and I.
Now, the battle is coming to an end soon. In all fairness, if the current battle rhythm continues, Zadom's powerful command ability will indeed allow Harlan's fleet to last for a long time, but when the Seventh Fleet comes out of hiding When exposed, he will find that he has made a mistake under the situation of unequal information: he has lowered the shield threshold of his fleet too low, and now those spaceships have become defenseless things, their heavy Charged armor is nothing in front of the glow ring.
The Imperial fleet quickly adjusted its formation through a short-distance jump, leaving a large area of blank space in the middle of the fleet, and slowly opened hundreds of "doors" like water ripples, some of which were different from all the spaceships on the battlefield. The "something" slowly emerges from it:
Tens of kilometers in diameter, the huge rings cast by light first appeared in space. These rings are full of brilliance, and when they slowly emerge from the dark space, they are brilliant and solemn. Looking at them will even give people a sense of The illusion that the gate of heaven is slowly opening: I believe that if you find a primitive planet and send a glowing ring around it twice, the religious system of this planet can basically be fixed: this thing is absolutely The magic weapon of pretending to be God is much more useful than hanging a light bulb behind the head. And around the circle of glow, the Throne of Judgment and lower-level auxiliary and frigates appeared. They were responsible for providing additional firepower and escorting the circle of glow. Although the terror mirror image system is powerful, it takes up a lot of mana quota, which makes the glow ring a bit stretched in terms of conventional attack power. Therefore, it must cooperate with other ships to fight. In terms of dependence on the battle group, the glow ring and The eternal level is comparable.
This is the inevitable shortcoming of the mothership, or the super-heavy core combat ship (Sandora likes to classify it this way).
The response speed of Harlan's side is not unreasonable. I believe that the appearance of the Seventh Fleet shocked them, but they did not panic at all. Instead, they immediately piled all their firepower on the Imperial Army's main line, trying to reduce the glow as much as possible. The number of rings, the opponent's commander did not withdraw those ships whose shields had fallen below the bottom line, because they knew it was too late to do so at this time: when the glow ring appeared on the battlefield, it had already All enemy ships have a symbolic link. As long as your figure has appeared in the mirror area in the center of the circle, it will be useless to escape later. Zadom and Harlan should be familiar with this, so they want those who are about to The destroyed battleship fired the last wave of firepower. For this purpose, they even ignored the Hessians' mud offensive for a while.
However, it is too late for them to break out again at this time. The Seventh Fleet not only has a strong offensive ability, but also has a weird defensive ability: the Throne of Judgment instantly enters a state of full absorption, and the surface of these inclined cubes is like a black hole. Part of the incoming firepower, the remaining attacks barely touched the joint shield of the Imperial Army, and after this brief moment of firefighting, energy ripples began to appear on the surface of the glowing ring, and a large number of energy arrays appeared around them, and began to Carry out conventional firepower strikes on the enemy, and at the same time, the mirror area on the inner edge of the ring gradually brightens, reflecting the distant starry sky. With an "imaging" method that does not conform to photometry at all, each glow ring reflects a part of the enemy's body. A battleship: Spaceships below the Eternal class cannot escape this reflection.
After a one-second delay, these mirror images were compressed into a small point, and the corresponding enemy entity became a small spark in space with a radius of no more than one centimeter: without any firefighting process, the target After losing the psionic shield, no matter how thick the armor is, there is no defense at all. The ultimate attack of the glow ring is beyond the material layer.
After just a few seconds, the next attack is ready.
The current main target of the glow circle is the medium-sized warships of the expedition class and frontier class. In large-scale melee battles, the expedition-level "Corona" main gun often bears more than half of the firepower output. Although the eternal-level Galaxy main gun is powerful, in fact, due to the limited number, the Galaxy is only used to destroy the enemy's strongest On the front line, the protagonist who has been active for the longest time in the melee is still a medium-sized gunboat with sufficient supplies and quick response, and the glow ring can just destroy this level of gunboat in batches. As for destroying the frontier class, it is better to understand: as long as the shield ship is destroyed, the enemy's defense will be useless.
A large number of enemy warships began to be wiped out by the mirror image of the glow circle. Although their joint shields were still there, the joint shield did not have the symbolic "attribution", which means that it did not belong to any single ship. This conceptual deviation caused the joint shield to have no effect on the mirror system: so the battle situation suddenly began to tilt sharply in favor of the Imperial Army. The ring of glow shimmered, and more than two hundred enemy ships were destroyed every time the mirror image flickered. Meanwhile, our other ships started focusing on weakening enemy shields—because the Terror Mirror system only works against unshielded targets.
The overall situation is like this: the friendly forces are responsible for destroying the enemy's spaceships, and then a mirror image of the glow circle will kill them in seconds.
"This is a human-headed dog," Bubble suddenly muttered on the ship's radio, "Snatching heads and taking minions doesn't take part in team battles, but for the sake of one's own people... ah, do I have the radio on?"
Everyone: "..."
Sandora coughed twice to cover up the collective embarrassment caused by Bubbles. With a happy radiance on her face, she gave an order to Sivis: "Adjust the firepower link, prepare for the last wave of general attack, and notify the Hessian tribe Let them retreat, and Harlan's final counterattack may be unprecedentedly crazy, just let the imperial army deal with it alone."
The command hall was filled with a relaxed atmosphere. This battle seemed to be coming to an end. As a group of remnants and defeated generals, Harlan and his army were already impressive, but I don't think there is any chance for the opponent to come back. The elder sister stood up, took a few deep breaths and prepared to shoot: she has become more and more proficient in using her ability to capture the enemy, because the accumulation of probability is the only thing that can prevent the Xiling apostle from exploding in this situation s things. My sister has been recharging her energy since just now, and her task is very heavy: find a way to capture Zadom alive, and if possible, even consider capturing Haran alive.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sivis saluted Sandora on the command seat, and then turned to the command terminal in front of her, but when the general attack order was about to be issued, a piercing siren suddenly rang through the battleship, soaking Bubbled in the radio and called the police loudly: "Attention! There is a sign of a space door opening in the center of the enemy's position! A space door appears in the center of the enemy's position! Confirm the high-energy reaction! Confirm the high-energy reaction!"
"What is that?!" Everyone was startled by this sudden situation, Sandora was the first to react, she stared at the holographic image in front of her, which showed the core of the fallen apostle army : An open area with a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers, which should have been the location of the flagship, but now there is nothing there, only a huge twisted vortex is expanding rapidly, and an arc slowly emerges from the twisted vortex, There are dark red rifts like spider webs all over the curved surface. In the rifts, blood-red rays of light surge, like a beast desperately trying to break free. According to the curvature of the curved surface, the assistant host quickly calculates its Probably about the size of Earth: if it happened to be spherical.
"Star Warship?" Qianqian thought for a while, "Harlan still has a Star Warship hidden, and he didn't take it out until now?"
"...The situation is even worse, I feel that this world is distorting, it is not just a starship..." Sandora frowned, "It presents itself by distorting the definition of this world, it is a glorious starship !"
Everyone was quiet for an instant. Bingtis was still lying on his seat just now, whimpering and begging for love as a wounded person. At this time, he also closed his mouth, and muttered for a long time: "...you Xiling Apostle really TM from above Good at creating surprises all the way down."
The black planet is still being squeezed out of the space gate bit by bit, its speed seems to be slow but fast, its size is determined to be about between Mars and Earth, the dark red canyons on the surface are actually mutated Nether energy circuit. This is a physical planet, the outer shell is hot black crystal plate and metal, but like most glory starships, the material that makes it will be infinitely stronger than the theory—analyzing the structure of this thing is meaningless. When this behemoth slowly emerged, I instinctively felt something changed on the battlefield. Although I couldn't say clearly, I was sure that Harlan's special power was spreading over. The fleet of the Hessen tribe stopped their offensive for the first time, and they were a little confused about what happened in front of them: Although the Hessen tribe also had planetary "warships", this thing in front of them was obviously not the same thing as the big stone ball they made. Weiska ran to the communicator without saying a word: "Who is that, tell your people to retreat immediately!"
—She didn't remember other people's names, but she now remembered that the Hessians were her own people.
Sandora immediately began to search the database for information about Harlan, the emperor of the old empire, especially his glory starship attributes. As expected, there are records in this regard, but not in detail: "Harlan? Croix? Levallet , the glory form is called the Ring of Return of Levallet. The specific nature of the battle is unknown, but it is not a glory starship directly used for combat, nor is it a type of specialized defense. The cycle of the Ring of Return of Levallet is about 14 days Up to twenty-seven days, depending on the degree of development…”
Seeing this, Sandora thought for a while: "In this way, Harlan was already preparing for the glory form after he came to this world, but he should still be in a 'sleepwalking' state at that time, and it is impossible to know that the Imperial Army will come, so…”
"So we hit the jackpot?" Xiaoxue sighed sadly, "I didn't see anything."
"Things at this level are not so easy to predict, and neither can your mother." I patted Xiaoxue's hair while confirming my state: I can still go out to fight, and the situation will be better if I rest for a while.
Now it is necessary to use the top force. Harlan appeared in the form of a glory starship. Our side may suffer heavy losses if we use conventional troops to rush up. Those battle groups of King's Landers were smashed, I should reserve some energy to deal with this big guy...
"Your Majesty! The conventional firepower has been severely weakened!"
Sivis loudly reported. Of course, the Imperial Army will not just watch the enemy BOSS go big. When Harlan came out with such a big figure, we had already summoned all the heavy firepower, but the defense of the Glory Starship is really not a joke. , although due to positioning problems, the shield of the Glory starship is not as difficult as the Gospel, but it is also stronger than ordinary starships. In addition, the Fallen Apostle protects at all costs near the Ring of Return of Levallet, and the onslaught of the Imperial Army Hardly any results.
"Speaking of which, this is obviously a ball, why is it called the Ring of Return?" Qianqian suddenly asked a strange question.
I looked at her in amazement, because in this situation, I still remember to struggle with other people's names, Qianqian is definitely a weirdo.
But before anyone could answer her question, the Glory starship explained everything to Qianqian with its own strength.
The dark starship has completely jumped out of the space gate, and the blood-red energy veins on its surface dimmed in an instant, almost making people mistakenly think that the starship was extinguished after being hit with soy sauce, but the next moment, its The entire surface was burning, and blood-like energy halos erupted from the cracks on the surface, and the planet seemed to become a red dwarf. When those blood-colored alienated psionic energy wandered on the surface of the planet, Levallet A star ring really appeared around the Ring of Return!
This is a dark red halo of energy, which stagnates around the planet for a moment, then suddenly explodes, and the halo sweeps across the entire position of the fallen apostles. What happened next made many people think of it as a nightmare after the battle:
All enemy ships appear before our eyes again!
Bingtis almost jumped up on the spot: "This grandson reset... his own army?"
"It's not going backwards in time, and I didn't find any signs of timeline confusion," Qianqian also entered into a fighting state instantly, she said firmly after detecting the flow of time in the entire space, and then a look of surprise flashed across her face, "Wait , that halo is still expanding... It has touched the Hessen fleet, and the Hessen fleet has also been reset!"
"Attention, the halo has touched the main formation... Your Majesty! Our fleet has also been reset! The equipment shows that all the information in this space is returning to the state before the battle!" Sivis hurriedly reported, and when she reported At the same time, the halo spreading out from the ring of return is still skyrocketing, skyrocketing at a speed exceeding the speed of light, and finally stops until hundreds of light years away. When the halo finally ended, everything had returned to the state before the battle between the two sides: the destroyed spaceship was intact, the dead soldiers rejoined the battle, and the fleet of the Hessian tribe also retreated to the place where they launched the charge.
After a short period of stagnation, the flames of war once again swept across this piece of space.
Bingtis was stunned for a while, then suddenly transformed into a god form, she opened her huge black wings, and I found a burnt mark on the edge of her wings: "Damn, why didn't my old lady recover from her injuries! Racist?!"
Dare to say that the injury this guy said was that the hair was scorched!
"My physical strength has not recovered." I entered the void form, and a sense of weakness swept through my body. "That thing must not be able to reset the things that are too high on the void ladder...Damn, this is troublesome."
Harlan's power instantly complicates the situation: he can reset the battles he has experienced! RS
