This should be the weirdest marching scene since the founding of the new empire:
The imperial fleet is in the center as the front army. The huge starship formation is driven by the coordinate engine across the starry sky. The Protoss troops are in the rear. The magnificent battle-type temple and the tower building with unknown functions are the moving kingdom of God, like a splendid The sea of brilliance followed behind the imperial army, while the escort and guide in the outer circle of the battle formation... was an abyssal fleet exuding a depressing atmosphere. It was once called the fallen apostle and fought against the empire several times. The "polluter" of the war.
This is a coalition army, but it is also a strange coalition army. A few months back, the bravest people would not dare to claim that the imperial army will fight side by side with the fallen apostles. However, this is the fact, the fact before everyone.
This huge coalition army does not have any experience in joint operations, especially the combat units of the Protoss and Xiling are different, and it is even more difficult to cooperate. Therefore, this queue is only temporary now, and it will be allocated again when it comes to the battlefield. But even temporary queues are also particular. The imperial army is at the front, the gods are at the back, and the abyss fleet is guarded outside to prevent the new army from ambush: the troops of Abyss Xiling are familiar with the local environment, especially the new army, so they can survive the encounter. When attacking, they are the first to react, so they naturally serve as the peripheral guards. The Imperial Army is good at attacking fortifications. Things like battleships have extremely strong instantaneous explosive power and combined shield protection, so they can take on the role of the front army, while the explosive power of the Protoss is weaker. But they are the type who become more courageous as they fight. As long as they are given time to start a battle formation, activate various magic spells, and apply buffs, the combat power of the Protoss will multiply over time, so it is suitable to be placed in the back formation. Of course, the "front and back" here is not the same as on the flat battlefield. The possibility of the enemy appearing from any angle must be considered in space warfare, so the Protoss is actually in the middle and rear of the entire queue, and behind them is a group of abyssal fleets. The latter is equivalent to a full-time bodyguard and is responsible for the defense of the entire team.
After all, it is in the abyss area, and the new army is a cunning enemy who can deceive the abyss spirits, so it is good to march cautiously.
However, the chance of being attacked is still very low now. We are currently in the absolute control area of the "Old Army". This place and several surrounding universes are the territory of Abyss Xiling, and it is unlikely that the enemy will penetrate into such a place.
The joint force reorganized the formation in this unstable frontier universe and joined forces with the "old army". First, it confirmed the safety of the route ahead, and then waited for the last regular fleet—servants from the Civilization Community, the New Eden Federation, and the Hesse Tribe .
The huge "General" aircraft carrier slowly floated out from the gate of the world. The aircraft carrier formation was surrounded by unmanned surveillance aircraft like a swarm of bees. It is indeed a good thing, and now it has almost become the standard equipment of all servant armies.
In the last battle, we hardly brought many servants. Only the fleet of the civilization community joined the battlefield at the end of the battle, in order to prevent the weak servants from losing too much in the abyss area, but this time Sandora decided to let The servant army also went out with the army, and the number of conscripts was quite large.
There is a reason for this: the combat effectiveness of the slave army is indeed inferior to that of the regular army, but they have installed a large number of general aircraft carriers we got from the Melovas. This special psionic battleship has greatly improved their combat effectiveness, allowing The servant army has the ability to fight head-on when facing the Xiling army; secondly, we also re-evaluated the pollution situation in the abyss area, and found that the environment in the depths of this area is not as bad as previously expected. Building a bridge here naturally has been adjusting the environmental conditions in the abyss area. Although the pollution concentration here is high, the abyss in most areas has become inert. Even ordinary races here will not be infected and go crazy; in the end, the new army has given up Their outlying territories will transfer all their energies to the "core of tranquility", which means that the imperial army will smoothly capture a large number of weakly defended worlds. These worlds may have little colonial value, but they serve as springboards and forward bases themselves It is the value. We need sufficient troops to guard and control these "cheap results". Regardless of whether it is the combat power of the Imperial Army, the Protoss, or the old army, we can't waste the regular army on the gate-this requires a large number of troops. The servant army came to help. They are very familiar with various imperial facilities, and elite commanders know how to control the gates of the world and the sovereign hub (this is an important achievement of the Military Command Department in the past three years), and if they only serve as temporary administrators of some outer universes, the servant army is more than enough.
The only servants recruited are the three forces mentioned above. This is not because the Salvation Army, the Vidis Imperial Army and other troops are unwilling to come here to participate in the war, but because the servants also have problems of strength and specialization in technology. They are currently familiar with space Only the above three civilizations are combatants, familiar with "advanced equipment" and have high technological strength. They are also the main force to assist the Imperial Army in space patrol and void security, while the remaining servants basically just got rid of The planetary civilization is not long, no matter how fast they learn, they will not be able to exert much strength in pure space warfare. The latter is basically responsible for the local security tasks of the imperial colonies or other regional combat tasks on weekdays. The two kinds of servants can be regarded as "space special police" and "community police"... Although it sounds a bit silly, the differences between the major families cannot be ignored.
"The Civilization Community Fleet has arrived on the battlefield!"
"The New Eden Federation Army has arrived on the battlefield!"
"The Hessian tribal fleet arrives on the battlefield! Fight for the general and the empire!"
Accompanied by reports of fleet readiness, one-third of the servant fleet was guided by the navigation signal and mixed into the large coalition forces, and found its place in the vast space between the Protoss and the Imperial Army, and the remaining large number Two-thirds of the fleet will have to wait in place: they will then serve as the second wave of propulsion/construction troops and advance steadily with the celestial system fleet, while receiving the captured new army territory and assisting in suppressing the local forces. Fight against forces and build a fast forward base. The Celestial System Fleet has now arrived at the frontier, but the moving speed of that pile of behemoths is really slow, and it is definitely not possible to follow the main force to fight forward.
At this time, I suddenly saw a familiar face on the communicator: "Roland Gale? Why are you here in person?"
Roland Gale! The old lion of the pan-galactic civilization community! I didn't expect him to lead the community fleet in person. The commanders of the servant armies were arranged by themselves, and they didn't need to report to the Head of State Xiling, so I was very surprised to see this familiar old man—experienced so many winds Rain and rain, I think this old man should have retired long ago to take care of his life. Even if he continues to serve as the consul of the civilized community, he will not continue to go to the battlefield, right
"The emperor of the empire is on the battlefield, why can't I come?" Roland Gaier was hale and hearty. Several years of comfortable life did not wear down his vigor. Even through the communicator, I seemed to be able to feel the whole body of this old lion. He is wearing the military uniform of the civilized community, with a smile on his face, "I have also fought for many years, and my intuition tells me that this is probably the largest battle that many people can encounter in their lifetime. You have to completely destroy the Void The most dangerous Legion in the world, so I'm here to help."
Sandora said lightly: "This battle will be very difficult. You will not only serve as auxiliary troops, but you will even face the Xiling battleship directly."
Roland Gale shrugged: "Okay, let's face it again."
After the communication was hung up, I looked at Sandora with some sighs, and couldn't help muttering in unison: "This old lion..."
Anyway, we will try our best to avoid confronting the weak servant army with the enemy's regular army, so let Roland Gail meet the most glorious war in his life as he wishes, and there should be no problems.
At this time, my sister looked at the central projection with a little worry, which showed a group of general-class battleships with black stripes, and among those general-class battleships were mixed with many large spaceships that looked strange: "Community of civilizations and The New Eden Federation is easy to say, only the combat effectiveness of those Hessian tribes has not been tested, and this is the first time they have been enlisted to participate in a large-scale battle, so there will be no problems, right?"
"This race is astonishing," Sandora said calmly, but there was a little appreciation in her tone. "They didn't have a high level of technology at the beginning. It can only be said that they have developed to the pinnacle of space civilization and have not yet jumped out." Universe, but after they came into contact with the knowledge imparted by the empire, they quickly caught up with the 'progress'... It seems that the messy knowledge that Viska left them at the beginning laid the foundation for the Hessian tribe. Their learning ability It is very strong, and its adaptability is beyond imagination. It took only a short time to train a large number of "general" aircraft carrier pilots, and use the technology of the general aircraft carrier to refit their own spaceships. In the end, this race was Fearless, they almost worship Viska as a god, and develop a near-religious view of war - when they die on the battlefield, silently chanting the name of the general can sublimate their souls, and they will be included in the list of heroic souls after death , They firmly believe in this, and they still believe in it until now. I don't doubt the fighting power of the Hessians, perhaps the only thing I need to worry about is whether they will be too hot-blooded... After all, they are a race of lunatics 'educated' by Viska."
The lunatic race educated by Viska...
I couldn't help sighing with Sandora, and my eyes drifted to the position of the 1.2 meter sister, but the person concerned didn't seem to feel the slightest, and even Viska didn't pay attention when the commander of the Hesse tribe reported the situation. Looking up, she is doing a very meaningful thing: polishing and waxing her baby pimple, and it seems that there is nothing else to divert her attention.
"The second calibration of the gate of the world is completed," Abyss Xiling brought my attention back with a word, and she quietly looked at the jumping route map in front of her and said, "All the troops have arrived, so...there will be no further stay gone."
The fleet shifted from slow cruising for a short period of time to speeding up again, rushing towards another gate of the world ahead like a giant wave.
What followed was several consecutive jumps, without stopping in the middle. The huge coalition forces quickly passed through the abyss area as if entering no one's land. We passed through more than a dozen universes along the way, most of them were desolate, and a few were frantic Distorted, but each universe is heavily guarded and can merge with a part of the abyss fleet. At the beginning, Abyss Xiling's troops were only a small part of the coalition forces, but as each world added a batch, her fleet had almost caught up with the number of the Imperial Army, which is still the majority of her troops. The result of being dragged into the "core of tranquility" - this guy's family background is not weak, I can't help but think about how many troops there were before the abyss area split.
So far the route has been safe, but we are slowly discovering signs of fierce fighting. At the end of the twenty-first jump, the fleet had left the absolute control of Abyss Xiling and entered the "junction area" once controlled by the new army and the old army. The wreckage of the battlefield began to appear in space, around the gate of the world and Broken metal floats above the orbit of the Sovereign Hub, and abnormal distorted light can be seen in the distant space, which is the embers of a large-scale eruption of psionic energy. The situation got worse after the twenty-seventh jump. Although the flight path was still clear, the remaining space facilities in the universe proved that Abyss Xiling spent a huge price to keep these territories: the gate of the world is a temporary model, and the space is scorching hot except for the wreckage Air mass, over the broken artificial planet, only a few space fortresses and a group of eternal motherships are maintaining the safety of the communication point, and the torn spaceship fragments can be seen everywhere.
For the thirty-second jump, the original military base in this universe has obviously been completely destroyed by the flames of war, and there is no shadow of the sovereign hub at all. There is only a temporary world gate in the space, and a group of fortress ships act as semi A fixed military base, other than that, you can't see any fixed facilities at all.
It was getting closer to the area where the battle was still going on, but the lack of fortifications in space was disturbing, and the fortress alone could not resist the new army's counterattack (if they really planned to counterattack). Of course, Abyss Xiling also knows this, and her expression is a little helpless: "The new army's fighting style is very extreme, that is, destroying everything within range, once the battle situation turns into a disadvantage, they will even destroy their own rear and Irrelevant celestial bodies around, so even if you can lay down their positions, all you get is a piece of scorched earth, and you can’t even find the space entities used to build the sovereign hub. You can only temporarily drag a few artificial planets from other worlds to deal with the scene Or find another place. This world I stormed down with a single raid, the new army abandoned the place quickly, but they blew up everything before leaving... As you can see, only from zero Rebuilt."
On the thirty-fifth jump, we finally entered a universe in contention.
This is a world in a state of chaos. Dim and thin primordial gas fills the entire space. The space is filled with a gray tone, and strong primordial energy radiation is everywhere, but no formed celestial bodies can be seen, and even Without the more obvious material-intensive zone, it seems that the universe has not started to evolve at all, and it has only grown uniformly since its birth, giving people the feeling of a thin and boring "cosmic soup in the beginning".
The joint forces entered the world through a temporary portal to the abyss, which is the contested area, and the new army has not had time to destroy the things here, so behind us is a complete space base, and those huge man-made celestial bodies are more or less dull and chaotic. Space adds a bit of scenery. There is no battle visible within the visual range, only from the pictures transmitted from the external monitor, it is a peaceful place. Except for the extraordinarily empty space, the whole world seems to be peaceful. However, after turning on the early warning radar, the real situation of this world is presented in the In front of everyone:
There are a large number of firefighting points in space, among which there is a violently turbulent high-energy reaction 150 million light-years away, which should be a fleet in fierce battle. Although the high-energy reaction 3.2 billion light-years away is not explosive, However, the radar reads that a large cloud of psionic energy with astonishing strength is rapidly "growing", and it seems that the battle has ended, and the two warring parties perished under the impact of super weapons.
These are the two most obvious high-energy reaction areas, but there are many burst points with weaker energy reactions throughout the universe. They are constantly on and off within tens of billions of light-years, and together form a three-dimensional star map of the war-torn galaxy... Oh, you can't talk about the Milky Way star map, this world doesn't even have a star-making movement, it's simply desolate.
Even a half-baked commander like me can see the situation from the energy distribution map returned by the radar: the new army and the old army are repeatedly fighting for the control of this universe, and they are constantly building sovereign hubs and world gates in space , while desperately defending these key facilities, they are also desperately attacking the enemy's sovereign facilities. Each high-energy reaction zone is a blazing battlefield, and these flames will never be extinguished until one of the two warring parties is completely incinerated. .
At present, it seems that Abyss Xiling has the upper hand: she controls the world barrier and the largest world gate in this world, so that the joint forces can be transmitted in smoothly. But according to the jump route map, there are three more jumps to reach the "core of tranquility" from here...
That is to say, the main force of Abyss Xiling was stumbled three times away from the core of tranquility, and her control would become weaker as she moved forward. As for the two old legions trapped in the core of tranquility , is now completely isolated.
"This is the traffic artery leading to the core of tranquility. The gate of the world is connected to hundreds of surrounding universes. I have already destroyed more than half of the original large portal here, and the rest are basically under the control of the old army, but the new The army has built a large number of temporary portals...they are so numerous that they can hardly be suppressed," Abyss Xiling admits that the situation here is not as good as it looks. Let’s take the right back completely.”
Sandora nodded, and issued instructions to all the imperial fleets through the spiritual network: "The hyperspace weapon systems of the main forces are online, the target is E33-W15-N22, saturated bombing, the first and sixth legions are separated from the array, and they reorganize themselves to support each theater .All-out attack, start!"
