The highest-priority alarm message was broadcast over and over again on all channels, and every spaceship in the Imperial Fleet rang out the piercing anti-aircraft alarm at the same time, and the soldiers rushed out of their respective rest areas to their respective jobs, The Imperial Admiral's shield instantly emitted a dazzling blue light, and the rapidly increasing strength of the shield made it shine like a blue sun in that one-thousandth of a second. Amid the low roar, the chief flagship and Several Avenging Angel-class second-generation warships in the surroundings began to charge their weapon systems at all levels, and the blue psionic light began to wander around in the spaceship array in space, as if blooming on the black velvet tapestry in an instant. A large expanse of blue fire huā is like. And the enemy's first wave of attack arrived at the position when almost 60% of the spaceships were not fully in a combat state. Several thick energy beams wrapped in black and red patterns suddenly pierced the space and rushed towards us The warships, they are fast, fierce, and full of tyrannical aura. This is the destructive bombardment that can only be launched by the former imperial fleet, which is more dangerous than ever under the infection of the abyss. The several small frigates that were attacked did not even have shields After a flicker, it turned into distorted semi-molten metal, and exploded into an orange-red ball in space. The souls of hundreds of imperial* people were directly uploaded to the regeneration factory located on the nearest mothership. Hua Xinghe's main gun immediately bombarded the mothership located behind the frigate. The longitudinal arms of the three Avenging Angel-class motherships and the Admiral Empire were attacked at the same time, and dangerous pale white ripples appeared on their respective shields. : This is the partial weakening of the shield after the attack power exceeds the shield recharge speed, which means that the damage received by the shield per unit area has exceeded the critical value. If such damage is added several times, the shield will be damaged There is a danger of being broken.
But in any case, the Angel of Vengeance class is after all a super battleship that is strengthened on the basis of the Eternal class battleship. Their shield capacity and quick adaptability to various attacks far exceed the prototype spaceship. It narrowly resisted the enemy's surprise attack that might have been prepared for a long time, and the Imperial Admiral, as the general flagship, already had the most powerful shield generator, and also resisted this attack.
Even so, all the spaceships suffered varying degrees of damage—after all, they were unprepared, part of the space anchoring devices of the spaceships were still on standby, and the sudden attack caused the spaceships to vibrate violently.
The vibration came from the lower end of the longitudinal arm, and it spread throughout the space inside the flagship like an earthquake. We just used the teleportation device in the ship to reach the bridge, and the sudden vibration almost shook us. , the damage control host immediately began to calculate the damage of the spaceship, and began to broadcast throughout the spaceship: "Attention, the attack exceeds the threshold, the overall shield is neutralized by 17%, the energy supply of eb-33 to eb45 is limited, the corresponding area There is a ninety-seven percent chance that the dispatch system is overloaded."
The general flagship immediately activated its own repair function, and began to reconnect several shield generators that had been paralyzed due to the overload of the attack just now. The shipboard main engine and weapon control center quickly searched for nearby spatial fluctuations, trying to reverse crack The starting position of the enemy's hyperspace attack, all the information terminals in the command hall have switched to eye-catching red windows, and more abnormally powerful energy fluctuations are rapidly gathering in front of the position.
"The power of the abyss has an additional neutralizing effect on the shield." Sandora immediately made a judgment, "The energy skimmer is online! Offset this disadvantage!"
The shields of all battleships were immediately covered with an extremely thin layer of white halo. When the second wave of abyss bombardment from the space crack arrived, this halo immediately played its due role, and the incoming energy was almost offset. Half, and the Galaxy main guns of all Avenging Angel-class battleships went from the activated state to the fully charged state in an instant.
The General Flagship Weapons Center has vaguely located the source of the hyperspace strike, Sandora decisively ordered a retaliatory strike against this imprecise coordinate but had no more options.
The space vortexes like the eye of a storm opened up in front of the main guns of each battleship, and dazzling blue-white energy beams spewed out from the restrainer, rushing into these space vortexes.
However, we can only guess at the role of this attack: the specific location of the enemy has not yet been determined.
This was a short and violent confrontation. From the arrival of the enemy's first shelling to the end of our retaliatory strike, less than 30 seconds had passed, and in these short 30 seconds, the fleet had evaporated All the small celestial bodies in the vicinity, even the ruined planet under the protection of the joint shield, were even more dilapidated due to the impact of energy: almost 50% of the celestial body structure was blown away, exposing countless A criss-cross alloy skeleton and a looming dark red energy core.
"pl-15, how are you?"
Sandora's gaze turned to a set of exterior monitors next to her. A warship with a special blood-red painting that resembled the Eternal Mothership but was larger in size and more ferocious in appearance was recharging its main gun there for the second time. The Royal Insignia on the bow part that belongs exclusively to Sandora indicates that it is a member of the Vengeance Fleet. In fact, I am curious how Sandora can tell that it is the "Grand Warlord" at a glance, because in my eyes, all the imperial spaceships are so They are all the same, but Sandora recognized her adjutant at a glance without searching the other party's serial code. This skill is really unscientific.
"A certain degree of overload has no effect," pl-15 responded in a deep voice, "The self-discipline machinery in my [body] is working better than expected. It seems that Chief Tavel's adjustment to me last time is correct. .”
At this moment, the enemy's uninterrupted shelling finally came late. After two raids + tentative salvos of the main guns, the fallen apostle warships that suddenly came in activated the main guns of various small warships. The normal but exceptionally dense artillery fire passed through a space barrier of one light-year, and began to attack the joint shield hastily assembled by the imperial fleet without interruption. Although it will be impossible for them to break through this shield for a while, our energy ratio was greatly disturbed.
"How big is the enemy?"
Seeing that the enemy's firepower was still increasing, Sandora frowned and asked, the sudden ambushes made the Warsong Princess who was used to taking the initiative on the battlefield extremely upset, "Why didn't we have any warning?!"
"Currently, at least two hundred Eternal-class enemy ships have invaded this space, and the number of various small and medium-sized escort fleets is around 3,000, and the number is still increasing steadily!" Sivis stood on the command seat and reported loudly to us, "The enemy The source of them has been determined, and their last space jump record is three types of unidentifiable states."
"Did you jump from the void to the battlefield many times, 'Void Point Jump'... What a bunch of desperate bastards." Sandora smashed the handrail angrily, "No wonder they didn't warn them at all. In this way, there is no way to determine their initial source."
After such a long time of contact, I can also roughly understand the professional vocabulary occasionally spoken by experts like Sandora and Sivis, just like now, I understand what is going on with these fallen apostles who suddenly appeared: They were able to complete this assault because these bastards didn't jump from a certain world to this universe at all. Their entire fleet made multiple jumps in the void, jumping from one unstable information point to another. Stable information points, completely abandon supplies and establish jump coordinates, so that they can hide their source and navigation path. When they suddenly intervene in a world, it seems to appear out of thin air. If the imperial fleet has powerful void scanning device, and maybe it was possible to give an early warning a few minutes before the enemy arrived in this universe, but we didn't have one, so we were caught off guard by the enemy.
However, it is very dangerous for the fallen apostles to carry out this kind of raid operation. First of all, it is the loss to the fleet caused by continuous jumping in an extremely dangerous place like the void. Jumping in the void for more than three consecutive times, the probability of each spaceship being swallowed due to information disorder will increase to one-thirtieth, and the probability will be multiplied by two for each subsequent jump. The forced erasure of changes, the traffic accidents that even the Protoss could not avoid, and the fallen apostles who raided the world through "false point jumps" did not know how many spaceships were lost. The second danger lies in the attention of the protoss that may be aroused by such a huge voyage—the protoss have arranged void nodes everywhere in the void, just like countless surveillance cameras scanning the endless void, and the "virtual point jump" is Before arriving at the destination, it is a completely random jumping method. You can't avoid any risks, and you are resigned to your fate when you move forward. These fallen apostles may crash into the fortress of the Protoss with a small army and a There is no need to say what the consequences will be when confronting a Void Fortress that can summon reinforcements from the God Realm at any time.
This is a desperate raid by them.
I can think of this, and of course Sandora can think of it too. Looking at the dense red dots that are constantly jumping from the edge of the radar into this space, her eyebrows are gradually furrowed, and her voice is very low: "... an army that doesn't intend to die , they want to use this raid to behead us?"
Sandora's speculation is not unreasonable: to carry out the attack regardless of the cost, risking being caught by another group of enemies, all signs indicate that what attacked us was a fleet of fallen apostles like a death squad, and those cunning enemies would never Consuming their own power at will, when they make such a huge sacrifice, the only goal is... the Admiral of the Empire!
"The flanks of the joint shield are under fire! New entry point found!"
The shipboard main engine reported loudly, and at the same time mobilized all the fleet battle modules of the Imperial Admiral. At present, a battle command network has been established between the mothership formation and the frigate array around the Imperial Admiral, and the core of this command network It is the Admiral of the Empire. The powerful scheduling module of the general flagship can optimize the allocation of resources for each spaceship entering the battle network. When facing a strong enemy, a fleet under good scheduling can be almost defeated. As a giant battleship as a whole, the most direct visible effect is that the joint shield outside the fleet is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the artillery fire from the cracks in the hyperspace with the power of the abyss bombards the joint shield. On the ground, the ripples are already like small water huā.
"Wait... what's going on?"
At this time, a voice with great confusion suddenly came from not far away. We followed the sound and saw Mr. Yoder holding the machine next to him, while looking at us in shock.
At least four of us shouted in unison: "Master, you haven't left yet?"
Well, I admit, one of those four voices is very shameful is me...
"It's our enemy." Sandora glanced at me, Qianqian, Liliana, and Yakumolan (what is this fox doing for fun), and said calmly to Yoder, "I suggest you leave the bridge, soldier Will take you to a safe residential area."
"You still have enemies?" Joad immediately opened his eyes wide in surprise, "But I'm not afraid of danger."
"No, the main reason is that your presence here may affect our command of the battle." Sandorat said sincerely.
Immediately I couldn't hang on, how can I say this, Sandora, you can't hurt people like this to be honest, and it affects the command of the battle, look how many people in our circle don't affect the command of the battle— First of all, don't you think you should blast out Bingtis and 123 who are playing poker on the tactical map
Yoder was also taken aback for a moment, then nodded to us with an embarrassing but understanding expression, and left the bridge with a few soldiers. I will definitely stay with my face...
The enemy's attacks are still continuing, and wave after wave is fierce. More and more enemies have invaded this world, and they have completed the siege of the imperial fleet from all directions. The combined shields form a huge sphere, defending A full range of enemy attacks consumes a lot of energy for us, but in this case there is no better way.
The revenge angel-class mothership formation led by pl-15 has launched a fierce counterattack against the coordinates with the most intensive firepower of the enemy. With the help of its own firepower system far surpassing that of warships of the same level and the ultra-high-speed "charging" of energy skimmers, these powerful revenge In a few minutes, the space rift where the fallen apostles attacked the most fiercely by the soldiers suddenly went silent. The radar showed that the enemy had to temporarily jump away from their original coordinates in the face of this crazy firepower. After disembarking the wreckage of several main battleships, they began to merge with the nearby small troops, breaking up the firepower of the Vengeance Fleet in pieces.
The battle situation has gradually changed from a raid to a brief stalemate, but the disadvantage of the imperial fleet being surrounded by layers is gradually expanding: the recharge rate of the joint shield is approaching the threshold, and soon we will turn from balance to weakening, and the number of enemies is still is increasing.
And while the battle was going on, another group of fleets were involved in a more dangerous situation: those transport motherships full of refugees!
Seventy to eighty percent of the transport ships have now successfully hid within the range of the joint shield. However, a group of transport ships are far away from the imperial fleet. They were originally going to float on the other two ruined planets and the nearest few great ruins The island transfers refugees, because the foundation of this world has been destroyed, Sandora and I are worried that other ruined planets are about to disintegrate, so we made the decision to rescue all the natives of this world in advance, but this made A dozen transport ships and a small group of escort ships were isolated outside the joint shield.
The enemy's fierce attack put the joint shield in a very dangerous state. The surface of the latter is full of psionic storms up to several kilometers. Every shelling from the edge of the universe will set off a "big tsunami" on the shield that is enough to tear apart light warships. "In this case, those single transport ships and their escorts have no way to enter the joint shield. They can only hide behind the ruined planet No. 1, which is about to become a piece of space junk, relying on the small-scale joint shield. Shield and luck to stick.
The target of the fallen apostles is us, so they haven't focused on attacking those spaceships that have no counterattack capability yet. However, in such a dangerous place, there are devastating artillery fires everywhere, and the thin-skinned and fragile transport ships rely on luck. It won't be long.
"We must find a way to save them."
Just glanced at those fleets that were in a precarious situation, and my lord sister immediately said loudly.
Sandora also noticed the distress signal sent by the single transport team. Her eyes were very calm, and she couldn't see any mental activity, but after a while, she still nodded: "Let Cicaro go, now you can He is the only one who goes out for a walk against this kind of attack."
I was taken aback for a moment, and found that this sad thing had happened for the second time: I forgot that the old bastard was actually an imperial official...
For Sandora, sacrificing her life on the battlefield, or even giving up part of the army, is something that a commander must face. However, this is only for those soldiers who have already had the consciousness of dying in battle. If a convoy transporting refugees sacrifices them because of her lack of combat effectiveness, it would be an absolute disgrace to Princess Warsong, not to mention that the enemy she is facing now is an old enemy of fate like the Fallen Apostle, and she can't tolerate herself Be led by the nose by them.
A group of frontier-class fortress ships with special paint suddenly broke away from several key positions of the joint shield. These huge and somewhat bloated fleshy warships are super mts led by Sikaro himself, the Royal Heavy Defense Fleet , Their shields are fully opened, and they are almost like shining little suns rushing out of the combined shield against the enemy's attack. Due to their simple and honest shape, they look like a group of eggs flying in the air, and the cross section is even more similar It's like a CD... It clicked, I can't seem to think of anything else after connecting with Cicaro.
Sikaro has already gone to pick up the single transport team. The strength of the joint shield has dropped a lot, but with the assistance of the energy skimmer, it is still strong. However, at this time, a particularly bad news came from outside the world barrier. It was passed on: the fallen apostle forcibly distorted the world barrier of the grid structure, and our reserve team left outside this space could not enter—the reinforcements were cut off!
