The battle has entered the final stage, the Fallen Apostle has been completely defeated, and there is no capital to turn the tables.
The glow circle formation just destroyed the enemy's last batch of gunboats with resistance, and killed all the enemy's shield nodes. After losing the joint shield, the fallen apostles were divided into numbers that could not be balanced by the imperial assault fleet. Hundreds of districts were slowly strangled.
The most important reason why Sivis didn't use heavy firepower to saturate the fallen apostles who had lost the ability to resist was that I planned to capture the enemy's high-level commander alive—let me tell you this, since I captured Brother Carlo alive, I have I am addicted to this matter, and to deal with this group of mysterious and corrupted apostles who are brewing a huge conspiracy, catching one alive is more valuable than a hundred dead ones.
Not to mention that this time we have the opportunity to capture an emperor alive: it makes my heart jump.
Shandora and I took the assault ship to jump to the inside of the enemy's main formation. Since the enemy's gravitational well generator and shield nodes have almost been killed by the glow circle, the assault ship jumped smoothly in this area unimpeded.
The glow ring is really a good thing. It is almost a meat grinder when killing bloody enemy soldiers. When the assault ship passes through the battlefield, I will see the enemy ships passing by suddenly shrink at any time into a small dot, and then exploded into a seedling: Sivis is commanding the Seventh Fleet to escort us, before landing on the dark planet, both myself and Sandora have to save energy as much as possible, because Harlan will not Waiting to be caught.
There are warship fragments floating in space and continuous explosion flashes passing by outside the porthole, and the assault ship has entered the effective area of the enemy's last gravitational well.
Now it is passing through an area densely covered with wreckage in the way of routine navigation, and the shipboard main engine is nimbly avoiding the rampant metal fragments in space.
I looked across this field of lifeless wreckage.
Seeing the psionic light beams sweeping across the space in the distance, it seems that the battle in some local battlefields is still going on.
Busy battlefield reports can be heard in the communication link. It seems that each combat team is progressing smoothly. Now that the combat zone is all concentrated in the Fallen Apostle's position, it can be said that the battle is over.
Looking at the remnants floating outside and the flashes of light piercing the darkness from time to time, my mood gradually calmed down. This is probably the result of my long-term training: before the battle, the heart is like still water.
I suddenly thought of something to be happy about.
So he touched Sandora's arm: "Actually, thanks to Harlan's reset, our losses in this battle were actually reduced: the second battle ended faster, whether it was the Hessian tribe or the Emperor **Not as big as the losses in the first battle."
This is something I just thought of. In the first battle, although we were almost victorious, we suffered a lot of losses when dealing with the formation of the King's Landers. The Hessian tribe suffered a nearly crushing counterattack .
After Harlan reset the battlefield, the Imperial Army and the Hessian tribe were all resurrected, but only the regular units on the Fallen Apostle's side recovered, and one-third of their King's Lander battleships were still paralyzed.
And in the second battle, under Xiaoxue's reminder, we adopted a more effective tactic: storm Levalette's return ring at all costs, which caused the Fallen Apostle to collapse faster without the supreme commander.
In the end, Harlan's ability to return saved some losses for the imperial army and the Hessian tribe: although not much was recovered, this result itself is already quite ironic.
"Halan probably didn't expect that the prophet's power could be so powerful that he could see through his weaknesses within a few minutes," Sandora smiled calmly, "and his reset ability is ineffective against things of the King's Lander level.
But it is effective against almost all units of the Imperial Army and the Hessian tribe. He is self-defeating...etc.
I suddenly felt that although his army's fighting consciousness had returned to normal, Harlan himself didn't seem to be very sober. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have made such a mistake. "
Sandora really cared about this issue, and began to think hard there, and finally she came to a conclusion: "Well, Harlan is still sleepwalking, he essentially just revived all the enemies, and then let his army Died again..." Personally, I think Sandora summed it up very accurately: So there was such an oolong behind the fierce battle just now?! The assault ship passed through sporadic firefights, and finally came to the dark planet without any danger. This planet has now been split into a pile of fragments floating in space, but the strange thing is that they are still connected together. Instead of being scattered and thrown out like a normal star explosion, this alone shows that the Glory starship is not a "natural celestial body" in the secular world.
This shattered planet is covered with terrifying rifts that run through the entire planet. Through these rifts, you can see the dark red flashes of the planet's core, as well as the lightning that jumps vertically and horizontally between the planet's fragments. I control the spaceship and enter carefully. Seeing a grand canyon directly below the earth's core, Sandora concentrated on perceiving the surrounding environment, and when we had sunk close to the earth's core, she suddenly said: "It's near here."
I found a protruding metal platform nearby, parked the spaceship on it, and then stood down-to-earth with Sandora for the first time on a glorious starship belonging to the fallen apostles.
This metal platform looks like a part of a broken bridge, one end of which stretches in the air, below is the dark red energy core of the planet, and the other end is connected to a dark battleship corridor.
I looked around, filling my mind with what the place looked like before it was torn apart.
The interior structures of various Glory starships are different. Viska’s Glory is a hollow fortress with complete military facilities, Sandora’s Glory has only light and energy inside, and Harlan’s Glory is like a huge ship. Wuba Spaceship: We are now located inside this broken planet. From the fault zones on both sides, we can see many structures similar to battleship corridors, but theoretically there are no ordinary soldiers stationed inside the Glory Starship, so I don’t know the meaning of these corridors. Why is it used when Harlan is sleepwalking? "Be alert, I think he is nearby," Sandora said in the spiritual connection, "and has woken up."
I don't know how weak Harlan will be now.
But in theory, even if an emperor just came out of the glory form, he was blown away.
It is also definitely better than ordinary officers: According to Sandora’s metaphor, the glory starship is just a dream to distort reality for the apostles of Xiling (this metaphor is a bit problematic, but Sandora has used it like this, so don’t pursue it Details), I boldly guess that Harlan's current weakness is somewhat similar to hypotension after waking up... Then I prepared for battle according to this standard.
"This place looks weird, is it like this after Glory is destroyed?" I observed the surrounding environment and found some strange phenomena: the edges of the broken planetary fragments are shaking, the farther away from me, The jitter is more obvious.
The metal bridge under our feet is very "real", but the alloy cliff hundreds of meters away is blurred. This phenomenon seems to have just appeared: I didn't notice this strange situation when I drove down the spaceship.
In addition, I also noticed that the shattered land far away is gradually becoming transparent. There is a shattered floating island floating about one or two kilometers away from here. Through it, I can even see the Explosion flash.
"The Glory Starship is a product of twisted rules.
Therefore, after it is destroyed, it will not leave wreckage, but slowly 'collapse' in the real world," Sandora easily broke off a piece from the nearby alloy cliff, and held it in her hand, the piece looked solid The incomparable black alloy turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared into the air, "while gradually collapsing.
Glory starships will produce various abnormal phenomena, and due to the inversion of micro and macro scales, these abnormal phenomena will present various scenarios according to different observers, and it is not surprising to see anything.
In fact, there will be slight deviations between what you see and what I see, and everything here is between reality and illusion.
Don't worry about what your eyes see. "
I nodded with half understanding, and decided to put such details aside.
And at the moment when I was a little relaxed, a flash of light suddenly passed by! "Damn!" I leaned subconsciously, and then dodged the flash of light in a very dangerous way. The latter swept across from where I was standing, leaving a scar on the alloy bridge that almost cut off the middle of the bridge, and finally bombarded On the cliff in the distance, a violent explosion was triggered.
Bursts of rapid and dull roars echoed in the thin gas environment inside the shattered planet.
Immediately afterwards, a chain reaction of explosions began to occur in all directions, and the broken planetary plate seemed to be bombarded by something invisible, and it was obvious that Sandora and I were at the center of all this! The already extremely fragile alloy cliff was violently impacted, shaking violently like a collapsed beach castle, and large chunks of metal fragments fell from the upper edge of the earth's crust like a torrential rain, and fell all the way to the burning bloody core of the dark planet. .
Everything in all directions was vibrating, and Sandora and I had to leave the ground altogether and fly in mid-air to stabilize our figures. Soon, I discovered that there were more abnormal conditions around: the gravity was disordered, and the torn alloy cliffs were twisting Deformation, the surrounding space and optical phenomena seem to be out of order, those metal fragments that are falling are constantly changing their large shapes as they fall, and it took me a few seconds to realize that this is an optical "perspective phenomenon" that has gone out of control up.
The surroundings began to turn upside down. If, as Sandora said, the Glory Starship is a "Xiling dream" used to distort the real world, then this dream has now turned into a nightmare, and it is in the midst of waking up. state of confusion.
In this chaos, I heard Harlan's voice, calm and clear, directly appearing in the minds of Sandora and me: "You are looking for me, aren't you?" "You are finally willing to come out."
Sandora completely ignored the disturbing scenes around her. She looked at a tall figure that was gradually emerging from mid-air not far away: Harlan.
This is a tall and strong middle-aged man, wearing the full set of Emperor Xiling's regular outfit: the emperor's military uniform, ribbon, command knife, and pistol—for the Xiling apostle, the more formal the outfit, the more complete it is. military equipment.
I once saw the video of Harlan’s message in Green Star’s database. His real person seems to be more indifferent and solemn than the video. Now the fighting desire and cold gaze in Harlan’s eyes are not seen in the video that day. Of course this may also have something to do with the abyssal claws that Sandora just revealed and my void form... I found that after Harlan appeared, the speed of collapse around him slowed down.
And when his figure completely turned into a solid body, the chaotic gravity and upside-down optical effects also returned to normal.
The cliff that was almost completely collapsing trembled and stilled, and even some metal fragments that fell halfway were returning to their original positions: it seemed that the appearance of Harlan's body had slightly restored the "vigor" of this collapsing dark planet .
"I never thought I would be here today."
Harlan doesn't seem to be nervous at all, even though he is in a very bad situation now, and he can't beat either Sandora or me by visual inspection, "Haha, I've been in a daze for a long time, the first thing I saw when I woke up The scene is that your army is pressing down on the border, it's really bad."
Sandora's eyes changed slightly.
The other party seemed to confirm a fact, and then she smiled lightly: "You can't run away, the outside space has been blocked layer by layer, but I guess you definitely don't want to surrender."
I followed suit and nodded: "You have the right to choose to resist, anyway, we will beat you until you can't take care of yourself."
Harlan didn't say a word, just stepped back a little, I think it's time for him to make a bigger move.
So I was ready to face the battle, but the opponent's attack method caught me off guard: hundreds of space vortices suddenly appeared in the air in all directions, and the first thing we faced was the overwhelming floating cannons! Hundreds of rectangular floating cannons as big as Otto lined up a wall and bombarded Sandora and me at the same time. Harlan took the opportunity to retreat quickly, where he passed.
The space continued to crack, and a large number of fixed turrets and floating cannons emerged like ghosts emerging from the darkness, and the number seemed endless.
I instinctively opened the shield to resist, and after a while, the speed at which the shield was consumed was surprising: the power of these floating cannons was far more powerful than they looked.
And after a large number of forts are superimposed together, the power is far from being as simple as one plus one! The alloy cliff behind us was instantly cut off by the fierce artillery fire.
The violent explosion completely covered the line of sight. In the violent flashes and annoying metal fragments, I could no longer see Harlan's figure. I could only determine the opponent's position and state through mental power scanning. I was a little bit crazy: " Why does this fighting style look so familiar!" "Pandora is not the only apostle who uses floating cannons and turret arrays to fight," Sandora's half body had already turned into an abyss, and she casually released a gray-black shock wave, tearing apart The swarm of floating cannons with the most powerful firepower even made an exit with a width of 100 meters on the enveloping net, but in less than a few tenths of a second, the encircling net was blocked by more floating cannons.
Harlan released not only floating cannons, but also small jump disruptors and gravitational well generators. These devices have limited influence on Sandora and me, but they are still very annoying. Of course, the huge number of them is even more annoying. Turrets—they are more powerful than Pandora’s turrets, and their attack attributes are complex. Some devices that are not turrets are mixed in, but they are miniaturized mathematical rate effect generators. In order to offset the confusion caused by those things, I have to Not releasing the Void Domain is obviously very exhausting: the physical strength consumed by the one-on-one battle with the King's Lander battle group just now has not recovered, this is really a suffocating situation.
Now I kind of understand how aggrieved those people who were crushed by Pandora's firepower died. Once the number of floating cannons is overwhelming, it is definitely a nightmare battlefield. They can attack without dead ends, and they are extremely agile. And the number can be replenished at any time, what you have to face is that you cannot dodge, and the whole process before you win is always bombarded indiscriminately.
The power of a single floating cannon may be limited, but they can exert fleet-like combat effectiveness in a group situation, and the various turrets made by the Apostles of Xiling have never been purely "fire weapons". It's an ultra-dimensional attack. What I have to deal with at the same time is not only the artillery, but also the constantly collapsing space structure! In addition, we have to face Harlan's weird ability: I still don't know how to describe Harlan's power accurately. He is a bit like a combination of a Pandora-type fireman and a storm commander. Powerful bombing, and has information control like the ring of return, now he is out of the glory state, but his return ability still seems to be effective, more and more floating cannons were destroyed by Sandora and me, but I didn't notice it at all. It was found that Harlan was out of stock. After careful observation, I was sure that he recovered his loss! Of course it’s not a problem to be bombed like this, so Sandora and I are going to find an opportunity to break through, but it seems to be a little difficult: the floating gun array is extremely flexible, and the encirclement they form is extremely flexible, and each individual turret has The jump ability, Sandora and I chose the wrong direction for the first breakout, and the speed was not fast enough. The result was that the firepower net formed by tens of thousands of floating cannons plowed through more than 1,300 kilometers of the earth's crust, and we were still in the The very center of the firepower net.
The artillery fire like a storm is still bombarding continuously. As far as the line of sight is concerned, the ground can no longer find a foothold. I am responsible for raising the defense, and slightly weakening the number of these floating cannons with energy detonation (the latter did not what effect), and Sandora used her powerful destructive power after turning into the abyss to send shock waves everywhere, we flew over the cracking ground at dozens of times the speed of sound, and Harlan's artillery fire seemed to be wrapped in storms and thunder The tornado usually followed closely behind, I calculated a little, and found that I had almost circled the planet... It seems that Harlan has the upper hand now, he is chasing us, but Sandora is not depressed at all Meaning, she even has a cold and calm smile all the time, because in fact Harlan has no chance of winning, and the purpose of Shandora and I is to consume the little mental power left by the other party.
One thing I know for sure: Harlan is almost at the end of his rope.
There is a reason for this - because so far these floating cannons can only be regarded as "threatening" to Sandora and me, but they are not lethal. No matter how high-end this weapon is, it is just a conventional artillery. What about higher-end equipment, does Harlan only have floating cannons? As an emperor, if the opponent only has these floating cannons and the auxiliary "reset" ability, it is obviously not enough, so the opponent may really be strong in the outside world: he If there is a big move, it should be used long ago.
There was another continuous explosion. I seized the opportunity and used energy to induce explosions to destroy the turret position on a nearby floating island. Before more turrets blocked me, I pulled Sandora out of the encirclement.
Almost at the same time Sandora and I rushed out, countless space cracks appeared in all directions, and more floating cannons and jump disruptors began to try to block this space. Sandora seemed to be finally tired of this messy battlefield, The golden light behind her spread to thousands of kilometers in an instant: "Dead things should obey my orders!" Spirited and non-spirited, they all declare obedience.
Including dust, and Harlan's turrets.
I looked around and saw that this place was beyond recognition: the broken planetary plate was almost blown into countless fragmented floating platforms, and there was no bigger thing that could even be called a floating island as far as I could see. Under the devastation of the previous indiscriminate bombing and the constant shock waves released by Sandora, we unknowingly shattered a large piece of planetary plates.
What is more worth complaining about is that Harlan blew up half of them himself-he is really hard on himself.
