we won.
In a sudden frontal conflict, there was no geographical advantage, no numerical advantage, no technological advantage at all, and a tough bayonet battle with the fallen apostle army who had the absolute upper hand, and finally won a complete victory. A battle in history. Except for 30% of the final retreat, the main force of the attack of the Fallen Apostles was almost completely wiped out, and their sinister plan of snatching the relics of the holy library and destroying the Imperial Command was thwarted. An event that is definitely worthy of being a milestone: We fought a tough battle with the main army of the fallen apostles.
The historical significance and various military strategic values of this battle are self-evident. This time, the most unpredictable enemy has exposed its frontal fighting style and military ship types to us. After a battle, the information we collected on the Fallen Apostles is more abundant than the piecemeal intelligence we obtained in the past three years. We finally have an accurate grasp of the performance parameters and attacks of various abyss-infected Xiling warships. Power, learned about the various characteristics of super weapons such as the Abyssal Galaxy Main Cannon, and even the communication protocol between the Fallen Apostles-this was intercepted by the Xiling technicians from the massive battlefield signals after the battle became fierce. , We have no way to decipher this kind of highly encrypted information, but by analyzing the communication protocol of the fallen apostles, maybe Tavel can find a breakthrough in understanding the daily activity patterns of the fallen apostles, at least we can establish more in the void to monitor them active base station. It can be said that any bit of information we have obtained in today's battle, as long as we study it in depth, will become a turning force for the Empire's battle against the fallen apostles, so these things make the commanders and researchers of the Empire ecstatic.
However, not everyone was cheering. When we returned to the bridge of the Admiral Empire, there was a relaxed and joyful atmosphere after a complete victory, but Viska found a corner in silence and sat there in a daze .
I know it's the shipboard AI that was sacrificed in the madness that got her down, and to be honest, I'm not in a much better mood because of it.
Maybe that sentence is right, kindness does not command soldiers - I can't be as iron-blooded and ruthless as the standard imperial* people, and I can continue to charge without changing my face in the face of countless comrades dying in battle. When I fell, I couldn’t think of them as a series of numbers. The fact that most of the apostles who died in battle could be resurrected gave me a lot of comfort. Fat block.
Today's situation is even more shocking. When the ancient shipboard AI crazily led the dilapidated wreckage fleet to crash into the enemy's line of defense, I'm sure even Sandora was moved by it. That scene It's like a group of bloody old soldiers jumping out of the trenches, following the blind and deaf commander, rushing towards the enemy's position for the last time with bombs in their arms, until now they are still replaying in their minds over and over again, and they cannot be forgotten at all.
If we can slowly get used to the casualties on the battlefield, what makes people feel even more depressed today is the injury Viska suffered—she is undoubtedly the most painful today. everything. Breaking with the motherland, being regarded as a rebel, and even she didn't know what kind of "thing" she was. At that time, all of Viska was the group of artificial intelligence made by herself, including the special mouth. The shipboard AI that can speak, I can even guess that Viska designed that AI to be so eloquent because she is too lonely, and today, she lost her most important partner—even though she can’t remember clearly That memory, but I can still feel her bad mood now.
Sandora may have the same idea as me. It is true that she is a war commander who has experienced many battles... even thousands of battles. In the face of the same tragic battle, she is always better than us. Everyone is calmer and crueler, but as the top Xiling apostle, her feelings are also complicated and sharp, but she can better suppress all unfavorable feelings to the corner, and always use the most perfect side to show in front of everyone. In front of everyone. In front of our family members, Sandora will always reveal her [true] feelings.
After a high-intensity battle, everyone was exhausted, including Qianqian and her elder sister. It was precisely because they were in the base camp that they exerted a terrifying debuff effect on the enemies who broke into the front. The Admiral's line of defense is impregnable, protecting all the transport ships full of refugees intact, and now they are taking a break with us in the officer's lounge next to the bridge. Poison Island and Mercury Lamp, and Yakumo Lan who has almost really regarded herself as a door mat. Qianqian is now asleep, drooling on the coffee table, while the elder sister looks at Viska with some concern. She knows that the child is different from the normal Xiling apostle, and his mental strength is even less stable than that of ordinary humans. Pandora cared about her younger sister in her unique way: sitting opposite Viska, looking at her without blinking...
In all fairness, I think she might as well find a place to wait. A normal person who makes her "caring" for an afternoon should be depressed at best.
"I said… "
After thinking about it, I think that I may be the only one who can speak at this time. After all, I seem to be a parent from the beginning, but as soon as I opened my mouth, a voice suddenly resounded through the public channel and interrupted my actions. —
"A triumphant return! A triumphant return! Long live the general, those bastards are finished, finished! Ashes! The ship has won a big victory, and the general's power has been stretched again-wait and see you bastards! This ship knows You are not dead! When the ship finds a suitable body again, and then organize a group of good boys, all enemies will die! Deathstroke! Rest in peace! Helium Bolen, rest in peace! There will be new good boys to replace you The position! The legion will never perish, and we will always be the only ones who will perish others! But at this time, this ship has to find a place for itself to repair its body. This ship seems to be missing something... Oh, wait, this ship seems It's all leaked... Hey, I'll go! Someone, someone! Someone tow this ship to the maintenance port! You, you, these messed up idiots, what are you doing, don't you see that there is a big cow here who needs support x? Think back then, this ship was a high-end ship with 143 main guns..."
"Hey, I don't think it's one hundred and forty-three, right?"
I turned my head and said in surprise.
Sandora staggered at her feet: "...you look shocked just because you thought of this?"
That crazy shipboard AI is back! This news was shocking, even Pandora, who looked like a porcelain doll, stood up with a look of astonishment, and the public channel was still echoing the clamor of a lunatic host whose logic was confused and inarticulate, Viska His eyes lit up, and he disappeared into the lounge in a flash.
The soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield quickly located the source of this noisy signal. It was floating around nearly 10,000 kilometers away from the ruins of the holy library. It seemed that the explosion at that time threw it so far. A soldier who found it sent back a message describing the target's condition as "not very good" but "at least in good spirits." I'm sure the soldier must have had a look of embarrassment when he said this-putting a It must be a test of mental quality to drag things that are constantly making noise in the ear and cannot be beaten or scolded all the way back.
Soon the "very energetic" shipboard AI was sent to the Imperial Admiral Ganaku by a tugboat, and all of us have been waiting here, including Qianqian who just woke up and 123 who just woke up from a coma , the latter was severely injured when he was fighting to protect the Imperial Admiral, even with the perverted defensive power of a star field defender, he lost consciousness for as long as two hours. The reason why he was severely injured was that Lin grabbed his ankle Throwing it as a chain hammer, she fell into a coma after smashing through a spaceship, and Lin did this because she was knocked out of the head when she was in the dragon god form, and her intelligence returned to about three and a half years old...
In fact, I am very puzzled about the purpose of the Protoss five-member group (perhaps we should remove Bingtis, who is really powerful in combat, and call it a four-member group) what is the purpose of participating in the battle. Obviously they are very used to killing themselves one or two at the end of the battle I personally want to celebrate. So far, I have never seen a victory without injury in any battle they have participated in. Even when the city of Atlantis was regained, Lin killed 123 once.
I may understand why Ding Dong, who has no combat effectiveness and command ability, can be their captain. Such a wonderful team really needs a nurse.
And the shipboard main engine that has undergone emergency rescue and was temporarily fixed on a universal restraint with a shield was pushed to us at this moment, bbping non-stop while walking: from audio and public spirit connection Two channel scrolling bb.
"Aha! Long live the General! Good morning General! Good luck to you, General! What a beautiful day it is, we are all wiped out, but still victorious! This ship really wants to sing a song for today's epic battle, It's a pity that you may kill this ship by the way, so what's the matter, ah, yes, this ship is missing a few parts, and it is confirmed that a new engine group is needed at present, and maybe a whole super mother ship is needed by the way. Back then, this ship had two hundred and thirty-five high-end main guns... Does anyone of you have an emergency energy treasure? Or at least insert an external scanner or something for this ship, who wants a Helium III?"
"For the sake of Ya being miserable like this, let's bear with it."
The corner of Lin Xue's mouth twitched, she lowered her head and whispered.
Leaving aside the terrifying talk, the shipboard host in front of us can only be described as miserable. "She" may have had a shell, but now that thing has been wiped out, only a few pieces of twisted metal The skin is loosely hung on its bracket, and the main body is only a square with a side length of about three meters. There are gray and black burn marks everywhere on the square, and the internal mechanical structure is damaged. The stress stabilizer and shield The generators turned into two lumps of iron, and the cracked crystal structure fell out from behind the damaged inner skin, creaking and bursting into flames, and several faint indicator lights flickered behind the scorched cables. , and one of them was drooping outside, so miserable that "she" still has enough energy to trouble others!
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a miracle that this thing is still powered on!
Of course, what shocked us the most was how the main engine survived the explosion.
When "she" chose to perish with the space converter, the escape tower had lost all shields and 50% of its armor. It can be said that the fragile inner core has been completely exposed, and the space converter is in the same state. The latter didn't even have a single dregs left after the explosion, but the most important thinking core of the shipboard AI survived.
"This is a lucky event with only a one-thousandth chance, similar to a miracle." The Tavier mass projection converted from the research center stood next to the still chattering shipboard host, looking at the severely damaged square that had almost disintegrated, this The glasses girl who only believed in absolute data used words like "miracle" "It obviously once had an extremely strong shell, which allowed it to leave the explosion center alive at the first moment of the explosion. The structure of this host is very Strange, it adopts some ancient technology, and there are many blunt transformations. Although the technology is old, it also unexpectedly makes it more tenacious to survive than ordinary models... It's amazing, it also has several sets of spare memories, these It is impossible for a normal shipboard main engine to have spare components that have seriously exceeded the necessary number. Its designer designed it in such a way that it wasted a lot of energy and processing power. Of course, this design has now saved its life—theory That's how it is."
No matter what the theory is, it is a fact that this crazy shipboard main engine came back alive. "She") has been clamoring for us to change "her" to a new body, and chatting endlessly with Viska. This guy's nerves can already be compared with Qianqian, if Ya has nerves .
It will take time for Tavel to repair this ancient shipboard host with many private changes in design, at least find a way to stabilize the latter's failure, and we will return to the bridge afterwards, only Viska and Pandora stay down.
It was strongly requested by the shipboard main engine that Viska stayed, because as long as the former wanted to leave Ganaku, the latter would definitely yell and ask the general to continue to listen to his tactical report. Scar was extremely impatient with this kind of thing, but this time, she nodded without hesitation, and stayed in Ganaku to accompany the shipboard AI.
The tactical report of the shipboard AI was messy, and many places had nothing to do with tactics. After listening to a few words, Sandora roughly judged that "she" was still reporting the battle hundreds of thousands of years ago to Viska. , because the shipboard AI has repeatedly mentioned the heroic combat experience of the first fleet of the Destruction Legion, which has long been wiped out, and what stronghold galaxy Yun Yun the Legion has just occupied. Although this is a meaningless report, Viska But he listened very seriously—this report was 700,000 years late, and now it was finally conveyed to the general.
As for Pandora, it was only after we returned to the bridge that we realized that she hadn't followed. Presumably she took the initiative to stay with my sister. She is really an awkward sister. The greatest concern I can make is to follow her. Viska ran around.
"Our Fleet Losses Are Serious"
In the officer's lounge, Sandora finally had time and energy to talk to me about the profit and loss of this battle, "The Royal Fleet is the main defensive force in the battle, and it has always been at the forefront of the defense line. This time there are more than 300 Eternal-class ships. The mothership was destroyed or completely lost its combat effectiveness, to the extent that it was not necessary to repair it at all. From the loss of the mothership, it was almost a quarter of the fleet that was completely wiped out. Since most of the regular army of the Empire was blocked in the world In addition, the loss is smaller, and it can be replenished soon. The level 2 technological warships of the Vengeance Fleet also suffered considerable losses. They were under a lot of pressure, and after the battle their staff was reduced by more than half. On the side of the servant army, since they were not active on the frontal battlefield in this battle, the casualties were all within an acceptable range. The only consolation now is that, Because of the outstanding performance of the chief bee, quite a few of the imperial* people who died in battle can be regenerated."
"It's good that people are around, the spaceship can be rebuilt, and those experienced veterans are not created casually." I felt a little relieved in my heart.
"But the imperial fleet has been seriously weakened." Sandora seemed a little worried. "It will take time to re-produce the fleet. What we lose are all elite warships after special transformation. Every spaceship in the imperial fleet is more expensive than ordinary models." It consumes three or four times the manufacturing time. The spare spaceships of the Vengeance Fleet are refitted from the self-discipline spaceships collected in the Great Nebula Battle. Now Tavier can only use a special production line to copy those warships at an extremely slow speed, because the technological form is completely different , the warships of the Vengeance Army cannot be mass-produced in ordinary starports. It can be said that for a long time, those souls of the Vengeance Army cannot find suitable warships to use. Moreover, the regenerated Xiling Apostle will have a certain degree of power attenuation. We Hundreds of thousands of veterans may become less powerful than recruits because of this, and it will take time for them to recover to their original combat effectiveness. In this battle, we have won a big victory in parts, but in the overall situation, I am afraid that the outcome is mixed —Right now we are still unable to determine how powerful the Fallen Apostle is, if what attacked us today was just one of the small fleets... "
"That's not enough."
Miss Lin's voice suddenly came in from the side, "The one who attacked us today is a quite influential army of the fallen apostles. I can see that today's fiasco is also a big blow to the vitality of the fallen apostles. But Sandora's worry is very necessary, and we suffered a lot today, I hope we won't encounter such exciting things again in a short time... "
"Even you, a prophet, can only use 'hope'?"
I muttered something, looked at Lin Xue and said.
"Well, such a long time ago, even the prophets can't see clearly." Lin Xue curled her lips, "But what we snatched today may really be a treasure, although I can't understand what the dense fog in the future means, but we It may be about to usher in a historical inflection point, and if this inflection point is well grasped... it will be bright."
It's started again, Miss Lin's nagging, I really want to ask her how to turn the so-called turning point of history, but everyone knows that in this situation, the other party doesn't say anything, and can only Itchy teeth that make people hate it.
At this moment, Sivis's communication suddenly came over: "Your Majesty, the fleet reorganization has been completed and is ready to return. How can I arrange for those refugees?"
