Chapter 1,285 Curse Ritual
The large-scale invasion of the fallen apostles started yesterday and has lasted for nearly two days. For conventional civilizations, an interstellar battle may take longer. If it is a civilization that has just mastered interstellar navigation, it may take them days or even months. It takes a lot of time to complete a battle: the navigation of ships, the occupation and construction of space strongholds, fleet supplies and the mobilization of local battlefields all take time, and the time that lower civilizations spend on this will far exceed the time their spaceships engage in firefights. effort.
But for a civilization at the level of the Xiling Empire... the rhythm of war is even more rapid, even so fast that it is difficult to grasp.
The battles of a super civilization like Xiling are based on a series of void jump technologies and space navigation technologies. Space technology makes all battlefields almost instantaneous in the eyes of imperial soldiers. The fleet can usually be reached after receiving dispatch orders. Arrive at any world within the empire within twenty-four hours, and if it is a special force (such as space assault troops), or through special channels (such as the fast network of the macro world), this kind of dispatch can even be completed within ten seconds; super Space-time supply technology allows our fleet to complete the supply of frontline troops without consuming any time; Imperial starships do not need to waste time in battlefield maneuvers, and Imperial soldiers do not need pre-war mobilization and grassroots combat meetings, they receive them directly through the spiritual network The orders from superiors are then executed unconditionally and without delay, squeezing efficiency to the limit. All technologies have only one goal, which is to omit all links except firing to almost non-existence. Therefore, on the battlefield of a super civilization, the pace is always fast. We assemble quickly, prepare for all battles quickly, and then use full firepower to turn the entire galaxy into a meat grinder in a matter of minutes. Such a fast-paced fighting method means that many ordinary races cannot even keep up with our large troops. Therefore, the first batch of training received by the Empire's servant army requires the mastery of two skills at the same time: The Empire's Basic Equipment Operation Guide. and reflex combat response skills. The former lets them know how to blow the enemy's head open, and the latter lets them know how to stay in line to prevent the enemy from blowing their own heads off.
The large-scale battle that lasted for two days was already a large-scale and long-lasting battle for the Xiling Empire, which had always used super-speed war to achieve everything: and this battle also burned the flames of war throughout the four kingdoms. universe.
Not counting the other three universes where the war has slowed down, the total force currently deployed by the Fallen Apostles on the battlefield here alone exceeds nine legions: this does not include the enemy's unmanned fleet and auxiliary combat echelon. The regular army invested by the empire in this universe is less than six legions, including the Royal Fleet and the Revenge Army - because the Sixth Legion has already incurred considerable battle losses in the fierce battles in the far reaches, so we are in a non-full establishment. As for the First and Second Corps, they went into battle. Then Sandora has been sent to other worlds to support the battle. In addition, there are a large number of reserve fleets and servant armies from all over the empire that continue to enter this war-torn world. Their combat effectiveness is uneven, but they are still doing their best to repel waves of enemy offensives. The battle situation is temporarily Entering into a stalemate - I don’t know how long this stalemate will last, but for now. The only thing we can do is to let the Sixth Army continue to expand its results and join Sandora's main force as soon as possible.
There is a billion light-years distance between the Sixth Legion and Sandora's Fourth-Fifth Mixed Fleet.
The biggest difference between the Imperial Army and the Fallen Apostles is their numbers. Excluding the servant army and various reinforcements (because the fleets constantly reinforced by the Fallen Apostles are also large in number, and the two can almost be offset), the enemy's regular army alone is now larger than the regular army. We have three more legions.
In fact, the number of the New Empire's troops is far more thin than what we show on the battlefield. Otherwise, there would be no need for us to fight the Fallen Apostles: the enemy is just a Haran. And Harlan is just one of the fallen emperors. Correspondingly, our side seems to have to pull out all the troops to respond to the enemy. If we just look at it this way, the number of the new empire's fleet is really weak, and it is not as powerful as the Xiling Apostles. Military expansion capabilities do not match up – that is certainly not the case.
In the imperial military organization, all armies are divided into three military orders:
The first sequence is the main legion that can be put into battle at any time, with high flexibility and war response speed, except for special orders. The first sequence does not undertake any long-term or periodic military missions. That is, "non-duty". They are always on standby and ready to go to the battlefield immediately after a war breaks out. All military branches accompanying it have the same level of response. At present, the empire's 1st to 6th legions, plus the royal fleet and the revenge fleet, a total of eight legions belong to the first battle order. At the same time, the reorganized fleet on the mysterious side is about to enter service, and they will also be included in the first battle order. . The equipment used in this battle sequence is the most sophisticated, and they have priority access to the latest war technology. Tavel and a group of military industry experts will give priority to building armaments for these main forces. Their combat effectiveness is the strongest in the empire, and this is well deserved.
The second sequence is the garrison. Their number is much larger than that of the first sequence, but they will not be organized into giant legions, but will be stationed in their own guard areas. The garrison is a garrison that guards the territory of the empire. They are responsible for guarding the universe under the name of the empire. Their armed outposts are scattered all over the world of void and order. They have to perform long-term garrison tasks and are not allowed to leave the place where they are stationed at will. Their war response speed are the slowest, and in many cases the garrisons will not respond to the Empire's war mobilization orders unless called by the Emperor by name: usually this will only happen when the Imperial capital is in danger and the Emperor decides to abandon certain border worlds Happened, because the withdrawal of the garrison means that there is a vacuum in the rule of a certain imperial area, and the access to and from the universe is no longer unattended. For cross-world civilizations, this is the same as giving up territory. The number of garrisons is huge, and their equipment is usually the most common field equipment: because those things are easier to mass-produce, and their performance is more stable and easier to master. They also have motherships, but most of them are small and medium-sized ones suitable for regional operations. Battleship. The combat effectiveness of the garrison cannot be compared with the first sequence, but in any case, it is superior to the combined combat effectiveness of the indigenous inhabitants of the world where they are stationed. The last one is to prepare for the extermination order - be prepared for any danger, be prepared for any danger.
The third sequence is between the main army and the first sequence. They are called the reserve echelon. Or mobilize troops.
The number of this part of the army is never constant. The reserve echelon is a transitional combat order. Eighty percent of its members are recruits who have just walked off the production line, and 20% of their members are veterans who have just woken up from the resurrection facility and are still in the recovery period. The former are in After a short period of actual practice, they will be incorporated into the garrison or the main army. The latter will return to their original army after recovering their strength. Obviously, the personnel mobility of the reserve echelon is very high. They are the legion preparing for the garrison and the main legion, and its soldiers are constantly being replenished into the first two sequences. The reserve echelon will perform all tasks on a daily basis. They may be sent to assist a certain world as a garrison, or they may go out with the main army to become mobilization troops. The combat effectiveness of this echelon is weaker than that of the first and second echelons, but in the event of a sudden war, hour. They are the only ones with sufficient war response speed and can be directly replenished on the battlefield - in contrast, garrisons are difficult to move away from their stations.
In addition to these three battle sequences, there are also some special forces, such as Viska's abyssal fleet and various scientific research auxiliary units. Due to their particularity or insufficient scale, we do not list them as the main combat force for the time being.
Although the number of troops in the new empire is smaller than that of the Fallen Apostles, it cannot be said to be weak. The powerful expansion capabilities of the Xiling Apostles have indeed been operating at full strength since the empire recovered. The territory is expanding rapidly, and we have set up a sufficient number of garrison troops in each newly added territory, which is enough to show that the development of the imperial army has not been delayed. However, the expansion of territory has also restricted the development of our main army: if we have enough garrison troops, we cannot quickly form more main armies. On the other hand, under the premise that the Fallen Apostles have vast territories and strong basic industries, the new Nor could the empire suspend its territorial expansion. This is a dead end, and Sandora and I both know it. And we know it too. The earlier the head-on battle with the fallen apostles comes, the greater the destructive power this knot will cause - so we have been delaying the time for a full-scale decisive battle with the fallen apostles as much as possible. As time goes by, the empire's balance between territorial expansion and mobile legion expansion will gradually become more reasonable. Even if the new empire ultimately cannot be equal to the fallen apostles in terms of absolute strength, at least our shortcomings in the first order of battle can be Being compensated makes it a little easier to accept...
Now it seems that Harlan is almost going to deal a fatal blow to our shortcomings.
"The reversal of misfortune effect is almost over. The next halo will take effect in ten minutes," my sister said calmly from the side. "Servant army, withdraw."
I confirmed the enemy blockade on the early warning radar. According to the distribution of the blocks marked as "space partitions", the main purpose of the enemy blockade was to prevent the Imperial Army from other battlefields from coming to support the Sixth Army. , it seems that the enemy has not yet realized the intention of the Sixth Fleet and the Fourth-Fifth Combined Fleet to merge. Our landing point after jumping into the world from the void is just the right distance from the main battlefield. The enemy will immediately think that The purpose of the Sixth Army is to open up a second position here - there are no space disruptors set by the enemy on our course towards Sandora, but once the Sixth Army jumps towards the main battlefield, the Fallen Apostles will definitely Try your best to stop him. The space environment of this universe is now extremely unstable. The space jump device can only be activated within a distance of tens of millions of light-years. If this distance is exceeded, it may cause dimensional collapse or large-scale super-time and space distortion, and the probability of being intercepted is very high. .
But the fleet must move forward - we just have to get through.
"After the next round of reversal of bad luck halo takes effect, the fleet will immediately move towards the main battlefield and destroy all enemies along the way." I ordered in the command link, and then entered the wide area channel. "Other theaters will report their respective battle situations at any time and discover enemies. The new jump point must be destroyed as soon as possible, and from now on, mathematical rate destruction devices are allowed to be used."
I looked at a surveillance screen next to me, which showed the current stability of the universe and the completeness of the mathematical model. The former was still within the safety threshold, but the latter... was basically hopeless.
The fallen apostles and the Imperial Army have repeatedly fought for the right to write the laws of this world. The constants and mathematical laws of the entire universe have been rewritten countless times in the past forty-eight hours. It is equivalent to a hard drive that has been repeatedly cleaned by a strong magnetic field. It is being From data damage to physical damage, after the completeness of the mathematical model drops below the extreme value, the stability will drop rapidly. After the battle, even if the universe does not perish, it will become an unusable world and will perish in a short time.
If this is the case, then let's fight openly... we can't save it anyway.
My sister rested for a while. Preparing for the next reversal of doom, the suspended crystal fragments around her gradually stabilized. The aura of reversal of doom is usually a sustainable effect, ensuring that the units protected by the aura have a higher chance of rebounding damage during the entire battle, but now in order to enhance its lethality, my sister has made this aura an explosive effect. It only lasts for a short period of time at a time, but while it's in effect, the Fallen Apostles take nearly full damage from their own fire, and the aura's range is also greatly expanded. for exchange. It takes about ten minutes for my sister to recharge the halo - this reminds me of a capacitor, and my sister should be one of those with a very large capacity.
"The second defensive column's shields were severely overloaded and retreated to the inner formation, while the first defensive column returned to its combat position."
The shipboard host is reporting some of the fleet's situation. The emotionless host always maintains a calm tone, but I have discovered that the defense change interval between the two defense columns has become very short. This means that the combined shield formed by the Frontier-class fortress ships is weakening as a whole - during the charging period of Sister's Reversal of Doom aura, all enemy attacks fall on the combined shield in full, and the Frontier-class formation is under great pressure.
The Sixth Army is not at full strength at all. We have just completed a fierce battle in the far frontier. The fleet has already suffered a lot of losses, especially the defense forces. Almost every ship is in a sub-healthy state. Well, this way of describing it may be Not very professional. Anyway, I can't think of more suitable words. Just understand the spirit.
I turned on the communicator, and the holographic projection flashed twice, and a square and upright face with Chinese characters appeared on it. When this face appeared on the military channel, it was the only time I liked it: "Cicaro, you How long can the ship last?"
"Retain the ability to return for two hours. If you don't return, the cost will be to abandon the spacecraft. Three hours and twenty minutes. The price will be annihilation of the entire army, four hours and fifty-five minutes." Cicaro answered very seriously. And directly calculate the lives of all my soldiers as the shield strength into the combat time. Of course I will not let such a thing happen, but this is the consistent way of thinking of the Xiling Apostle.
"...It's much better than expected." I nodded. It was necessary to keep the shield unbroken for two hours under the overwhelming attack of the fallen apostle. This is already an amazing enough defense. Sicaro is a person who has full points in his personal talents. A guy who is agile, but has a fleet talent that is full of defense. In this case, forcefully attacking the blockade does not seem to be a problem.
"Reversal of Doom can be used." At this time, my sister suddenly raised her eyes and said. She briefly glanced at the early warning radar and nodded pretending to understand, "The whole army will jump in the direction of Sandora, and then I will Start destroying the fallen apostle’s fleet.”
Around her, the distortion caused by the force field has formed a nearly circular vortex, so that the sister seems to be in a crystal ball. A large number of crystal fragments float in front of her, symbolizing the fallen apostle's presence in this area. fleet.
The shipboard host received the order, began to coordinate the command link of the entire legion, and quickly accelerated each spacecraft. After a short jump engine was charged, the fleet suddenly left the current time and space. By the time it appeared for the second time, we had already We have arrived tens of millions of light-years away - no further. A single jump of more than 100 million light-years will completely destroy the stability of space. Although this universe is hopeless, we can't save it until the battle is over. Destroy the ground beneath your feet.
The fallen apostles noticed the abnormal movements of the Sixth Army in an instant. Although their combat status was not good, the commander's mind was still there. In an instant, the enemy noticed our army's attempt to join the Fourth-Fifth Combined Fleet. Intention, countless red signals appeared on the early warning radar in an instant, and the shipboard host issued a rapid alarm: "Alert, the enemy's hyperspace attack is imminent... A large-scale space fold appeared in front of the jump route, confirming that the enemy has deployed space interference. device."
"Die!" When the enemy's bombing landed on our joint shield and bounced back over a large area, my sister suddenly shouted, and her hands suddenly waved towards the crystal fragments floating in front of her. Then he pressed hard with great force: a pair of white and delicate hands pressed on a crystal block dotted like decorations, which triggered a series of miniature explosions. Those crystal fragments originally came from some decorative crystal beads and did not contain any energy. However, they now glow brightly and crackle like detonated mini explosives. Each explosion , will also produce a small shock wave. These shock waves have a radius of only a few centimeters under my sister's hands, but I know that each of them represents a starship several light years away that has transformed into a large one with a radius of hundreds of kilometers. Fireball.
A layer of blue halo floated on her sister's hands. She needed to use strong power to maintain this powerful curse ritual, but she didn't seem to feel any discomfort from this consumption. On the contrary, she still He looked with satisfaction at the series of beautiful little sparks half a meter in front of him, with a satisfied smile on his face, feeling very happy.
I couldn't help but feel the hair standing on end all over my body. Fortunately, my sister's handiwork is as bad as her painting skills. Otherwise, she would have been sewing dolls at home all day long. Each doll had a silver needle inserted into it, and then the whole galaxy would be covered. They are all victims of my sister...
However, although my sister's curse is powerful, it is not infinitely powerful. The only things she can destroy easily are the enemy's small and medium-sized battleships. The thick-skinned battleships like the Eternal Class or the Frontier Class are protected by a powerful psionic shield. , Nether energy can weaken any damage except the void to a great extent, including mysterious damage such as curses. Therefore, after my sister's curse ceremony ended, the piece of crystal debris became much thinner, but the large ones among them The pieces are almost intact.
Although severely damaged, the enemy's mothership and fortress ship, with strong defenses, were indeed still alive. (To be continued.
