Chapter 1,272 The Indescribable Battlefield
This military conflict that quickly escalated without warning brought me many doubts, from why the fallen apostles suddenly appeared in this area far away from their territory, to the inexplicable "void wandering" state I had before the war started. It's weird, and it seems like these things have nothing to do with each other, but after being tempered by fucking fate, I'm now used to making up a series of conspiracies for everything that seems abnormal. Let me tell you, since After becoming this emperor, now when I see the price increase of pancakes and fruits at the door, I think of the end of the world...
I hope this time it is just a superfluous association made by my own brain.
Sivis proposed to attack first before the follow-up army of the fallen apostles was in place. If it were on a normal battlefield, this was definitely a suggestion worth asking first. The defenders on both sides of the war are not sure how many troops the attacker has and when the enemy's follow-up troops will arrive on the battlefield. They give up the defensive advantages brought by the world barrier and their own positions and use an offensive posture to deal with the incoming attack. A forceful attack by the army means that the enemy's follow-up troops will be caught off guard at any time, and it is also easy to lose the position. This is one of the thousand ways to die for a commander in the textbook of the Space Warfare Command Department of the Military Academy. .
However, this is not a normal battlefield to begin with - with a prophet as an adjutant, the enemy's follow-up troops' number, organization, and even the time and location of their arrival on the battlefield are clearly exposed to our army. Many of them look risky and unsafe. Operations consistent with military regulations can be carried out safely.
I thought for a moment and agreed to Sivis's suggestion. But the raid was ordered to be postponed. The fallen apostles should know that we have prophets here, and their commanders are never fools. The enemy should have guessed that the Emperor has mastered the situation of their follow-up troops, so they may suddenly rush out from the world barrier at any time to conduct a "mad dog assault". Therefore, the fallen apostles' defensive awareness is very strong now, and their main guns are likely to be in In the charged and ready state, the ejection channel is filled with individual fighters and assault ships that have been prepared at the first level. If you launch an assault at this time, the chance of being beaten back is too high.
Set the time within one hour to half an hour before the enemy's follow-up troops arrive on the battlefield. This period should be the key point for the Fallen Apostle's defensive awareness to decline... This is only theoretically true.
"What a... delicate confrontation." I looked at the beating time on the command assistance interface. Said smoothly. In the last few hours before the war, there was no depressing atmosphere in the command hall. Here were officers and soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles. They could handle wars of any scale with calmness. The lower-level adjutants were reporting to their superiors. The status of each detachment, the intelligence officer is monitoring the fragmented encrypted signals from the fallen apostles over and over again - I believe the other side is doing the same thing. The senior generals of the combat forces have received orders to prepare for attack, and they are ordering their fleets to slowly adjust the output of the order generators. To ensure that you can jump to the critical point of the world barrier at the moment of launching the attack: that is the only "layer" that can attack the void target without entering the void itself. In this kind of world offensive and defensive battle, it can be called The ultimate strategic point of the meat grinder. This is the tranquility before the rain. The soldiers have their bullets loaded, but they are still calm.
"We are on the defensive side. But we are preparing for it. The fallen apostles have traveled a long distance and are now forming a defensive formation." My sister seemed to be very leisurely. She even had time to prepare black tea and snacks for everyone on the officer's platform. This calmness calmed down my slightly irritable mood, "It's all thanks to Xiaoxue."
Xiaoxue still stood at the front of the officers' platform with a serious expression. Wearing the commander's cloak and looking down at the fleet on the holographic projection, she looked like a young general. However, after her sister finished speaking, she couldn't help but sway on the spot.
"Don't boast, otherwise she won't even know her last name." I muttered casually, while thinking about how to make the commanders of the fallen apostles relax their vigilance - or how to make them believe that the emperor will not move. Raid. I soon discovered that this was an extremely contradictory question. Our advantage is that we have a prophet in charge, but our disadvantage is... the enemy has long known that there is such a special unit in the empire. As long as they always choose the most cautious...I mean the most wretched fighting method, without revealing any flaws, then even if the Xiaozhen reaches its limit, the emperor can only fight against the fallen apostles according to the most standard steps, without any fancy tricks on either side. Battleships and ground warships are bombarded, and hard power is used to decide the outcome: this cannot completely exempt the imbalance caused by the prophet, but it has offset the role of the prophet to the maximum extent. Just like now, we have mastered the follow-up troop movements of the Fallen Apostles. In theory, it is feasible to launch an early raid, but as long as the enemy continues to maintain the tortoise shell-like defense line...
At this time, it seems that I can only use my brain.
"Sivis, push up the fleet of heavily armed defense forces, open the joint shield, and the mothership phalanx on the flanks have raised their anti-aircraft gun positions to the deck," I came to Xiaoxue and said to the command seat below Ordered, "The Royal Fleet switches to defense mode."
"Your Majesty..." Sivis was stunned for a moment, "Do you want the fleet to switch to full-scale defense? Do you want to give up the raid?"
"No, it's for the fallen apostles." I lowered my head and looked at the information terminal in my hand, which displayed the specific abilities of each branch of the mysterious army. "The enemy doesn't know that we have a group of ** divisions, right? Guang How long can the domain concealment barrier last in front of the fallen apostles? I want one that can hide a fleet."
"A ship..." Sivis didn't know what I was thinking, but he quickly replied, "It can only last for a few minutes. The enemy's radar system is not a decoration. The camouflage we spread under their noses can only last. Five to six minutes. This amount of time is not much in a battle..."
"That's enough," I clapped my hands, "Let Aura and her bees prepare to create massive scenes. Where are the leaders of the Magic Vanguard and the Arcane Law Enforcement Officer?"
"Your Majesty, Odysseus is on standby."
"Rena on standby."
Two people stood up from the officers' seats in the circular command hall, and one of them had a dazzling arcane light in his eyes. It was Odysseus whom he had met many times before. He was originally stationed in the Celestial City. But during this expedition, the veteran magic vanguard commander brought his newly produced troops to join the Sixth Legion; beside Odysseus was a tall female officer with a wheat complexion. and bright silver shorts, wearing the uniform of a mysterious side officer. This is a somewhat unfamiliar face, but it should be one of the 301 mysterious side officers who woke up in Tianjie City: now there is a shortage of senior apostles of the mysterious side. , those who held important command positions in major legions were basically among the "New Three Hundred" at that time. Just like when the officers brought by Pandora first rebuilt the legion. This female officer named Rena seems to be the top general of the Arcane Law Enforcement Officers.
"There is a special task for you..."
The calm before the debate has lasted for several hours, with the two sides maintaining the street in the most special battle withdrawal situation. The fleet of the fallen apostles opened an order field outside the world barrier, and the fleet huddled for defense. They were surrounded by the transition area between the void and the world; the emperor formed a defensive formation in the material world, with no intention of taking the initiative to attack. There is a world barrier between the two warring parties. One side is in the void (the fallen apostle), and the other side is close to a dark nebula somewhere in the universe (the emperor's **). Such a bizarre battlefield is probably completely unimaginable for ordinary civilization: the war from the void to the material world has completely exceeded the level that any world view can directly describe.
There are now the last forty-five minutes before the enemy's follow-up troops arrive at Zhanche as predicted by the prophet.
The defensive formation of the fallen apostles has not changed. Perhaps their commander has relaxed slightly, but they are still not sure whether the emperor will really maintain the defensive posture until the moment of formal exchange of fire between the two sides.
But at this moment, something completely unexpected by the enemy commander occurred!
Outside this universe, another order field suddenly appeared with an unknown signal. Not belonging to the imperial fleet, nor to the fallen apostles, a third-party order field suddenly appeared in the void. Within a range of ten information offsets, a large number of mass reactions were increasing rapidly. The whole process only takes about ten seconds. The fallen apostles obviously discovered this rapidly expanding Order area immediately, if they followed their usual style. At this time, as long as the opponent was not one of their own, they would have thrown a lot of firepower at them, but they are now confronting the emperor at a critical moment, and any rash action will be caught by the emperor, so in this short period Within ten seconds, the enemy commander made the decision to be on full alert but to hold his troops still: this was completely expected.
This sudden appearance and rapid expansion of the third-party order field finally reached the stability critical point, and then the mass body inside it fell from the state of void navigation to the observable state, and a large number of strange and completely indescribable "ships" appeared in it. In this order field.
These "strange" spaceships do not appear to be the starships of the Emperor or the Fallen Apostles, nor are they magical energy spacecraft from the mysterious side, or even any known thing that can run around in the void. The shapes are all kinds of strange, just like abstract paintings. The messy and colorful aggregates are piled together in a random way, forming "clusters" with sizes ranging from several kilometers to hundreds of kilometers. If it weren't for the order field in which they are located, There are obvious traces of technology, and these messy collections can be seen as children's doodles floating in the void!
The appearance of these "third-party spaceships" on the battlefield confused the fallen apostles. It is estimated that they would never have imagined that another group of troops suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and they were bold enough to break into the battlefield where the strongest civilizations in the void were dueling. And then these The "third-party spaceship" did two things, which stunned the commander of the fallen apostle even more.
These geometries fired first at the Fallen Apostles.
Then opened fire on the emperor.
It can be said that the incredible thing happening in front of us has completely disrupted the balance of the battlefield to the extreme. The emperor's side did not react for a while, and the fallen apostle's fleet was in chaos anyway: this sudden appearance was completely invisible. A third-party fleet with no discernible technological system from any camp actually poured out firepower indiscriminately on all targets on the battlefield. Such illogical things finally made it impossible for the Fallen Apostles to maintain their original stable formation and had to switch to counterattack. .
They instinctively thought that this was a group of ignorant young civilizations who wanted to start wars everywhere as soon as they broke out of their own universe. They believed that the emperor would be as distracted as themselves in the face of such a hasty attack, so their outer warships began to switch weapons. "Counterattack" those weird geometric objects.
At this time, half of this strange battlefield was in a void environment. The fleet of the fallen apostles was attached to the world barrier. They did not enter the universe of order, but relied on the field of order to fight the enemy in the void. The group of unknown origins The "third-party fleet" also relied on the order field to fight against the fallen apostles in a void environment. If it were deep in the void, this kind of battle would not be possible at all. Because any weapon will be disturbed by the void, causing its accuracy and power to be reduced to zero: the information chaos of the void will cause your locking system to be unable to aim at any target with a different frequency from your own order field, and will also cause the weapon to cause destruction. It is ineffective outside the order field (unless your weapon directly uses the void as a combat resource, but obviously, conventional weapons cannot reach this level), but now, due to the special combat retreat. Both warring parties are attached to a world barrier of ordered universe, relying on the ordering effect of the world barrier on a certain surrounding area. The weapons of the fallen apostles and those third-party fleets can still produce destructive power, so they started the war in such a confused situation. .
The emergence of a third-party fleet completely disrupted everything.
Within a few seconds after the fallen apostle exchanged fire with those strange geometric "ships", he immediately realized that he had made a fatal mistake: those colorful and strange things were incredibly fragile, almost the weakest in power, and were reduced to only 20% by the void. A powerful battleship's main gun can destroy them with one hit. Those things that appear to be audacious and dare to suddenly rush up and slap the emperor and the fallen apostle on each face are all mirror images!
However, at this time, the fallen apostle's defense had revealed its flaws. In order to fight against those weird enemies with unknown origins and unknown combat capabilities, some of their outer warships diverted their attention: the commander of the ape ship may have thought that the emperor would not attack at this time, because those guys who appeared suddenly did not At the same time, they attacked the emperor. But actually--
We completely ignored the so-called "attack" of the "third-party fleet" from the beginning. We know that they are all mirror images, and they are "absurd mirror images" that have no combat effectiveness at all.
Those strange geometric objects, as well as the seemingly powerful order field, were created by the special power of the leader bee and the mysterious apostle.
Mysterious apostles have many unusual powers. Compared with the straightforward and powerful technological apostles, they are better at dazzling "tricks" and surprising winning skills. Magic Vanguards and Arcane Law Enforcers are good at manipulating arcane magic and mathematical laws. They have mastered these two skills to create large-scale "mirages". These "mirages" are phantoms in the void that rely on careful information models to make themselves appear to actually exist. The biggest difference between "void phantoms" and ordinary phantoms is that they appear differently depending on the observer. No matter who sees that Xin shadow, they will be convinced that they have seen something that is extremely threatening and indescribable.
These shadows are not even related to any of the senses, including vision: they directly manipulate "being" itself.
The cutting-edge radar created by Xiling technology cannot distinguish these things in a short period of time - and the fallen apostles do not know at all that there are a large number of lions in the emperor's fleet, and they will not even think of it at all. These are long-lost technologies.
The magic vanguard and arcane law enforcement officer accompanying the Sixth Fleet created a "mirage" as huge as a mothership, and the leaders copied it into a legion, and then threw it next to the fallen apostle. Then these illusory shadows launched "attacks" on the emperor and the fallen apostles at the same time, using the greatest chaos to disrupt the enemy's judgment.
When the enemy finally discovered that they were fighting a group of mirror images, they immediately tried to correct their mistakes. However, due to the outpouring of firepower, the stability of the fallen apostle's order field had dropped to the point where it could be disturbed. In the void environment, the order field The decrease in stability will cause objects in the field to fall sharply towards the nearest ordered world. When the commander of the Fallen Apostles saw the main cannon of the Imperial Army beginning to charge, he must have realized the source of the shadow.
"The order field trap has begun! The enemy fleet is falling towards this world! It is expected to contact the world barrier in five minutes!"
"The weapon system is fully charged, and the enemy fleet will launch a free attack after entering the synchronized world view!"
"A high-energy reaction has been detected, and the enemy fleet's weapon systems are turning - the intercepting force has been deployed on the battlefield!"
A group of heavy assault ships broke away from the formation, but they did not fire in any direction. The ape ships flickered a few times near their respective motherships, and then suddenly turned into distorted light and shadow and disappeared into the universe. And almost within a few seconds after these assault ships disappeared, the order of the universe within a radius of several light years began to collapse.
The vanguard has been engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy at the location of the world barrier. The high-dimensional storm is leaking to the lower dimension, setting off a storm that can destroy the stars: the strength of the world barrier is rapidly declining, resulting in the uncontrollable void and the ordered universe. A conflict occurred, and the universe steamed as quickly as a pot of boiling water. With the Imperial Formation as the center and the surrounding space of several light years, it was the "pinhole" that caused the steaming.
The battle has begun. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
