Chapter 1,480 Chaos and Attack

In the end, the drone swarm of the Battle Fortress failed to stop our assault force with three super bodyguards. Its heavy missiles and swarm guards could block the Eternal-class mothership and the tidal frigate group, but they could not block an elite force. Infiltration troops, this is probably what is called big but not good - I know this word seems wrong but that's basically what it means.

There are seven surviving assault ships. The other ships that came with them were blown up when they were first intercepted by drones. I hope that the soldiers on board have successfully completed the soul uploading. This is probably no problem: we are here. The assault troops brought this time were all equipped with the "Harbinger" system, and their battlefield survivability was almost 100%.

The seven remaining assault ships moved quickly against the cracks in the battle fortress's armor belt. On both sides of us were towering armor layers like two rows of mountains: as a space facility with a diameter of tens of kilometers, a piece of it The shell is enough to be considered a mountain. The drone swarm in this fortress has not been cleared yet. There are still a large number of drones patrolling several kilometers away, searching for intruders. The flash of explosions is constantly coming from behind us. However, the assault force has gotten rid of those annoying guys. Now Pandora and Viska are using the floating artillery group to deal with the drones. The two little girls seem to be a little excited, but anyway, they have completed the task well.

I called the two sisters of Yi Mi in the spiritual connection, and Viska's cheerful voice was the first to ring: "Brother, brother! Look how lively it is here! They exploded like fireworks. I used the explosion to spell myself out." His name!"

...The devilish and violent loli can even play games with such high energy.

"Stop playing around, get out quickly, and let's go inside the fortress." I looked at the towering layers of armor that kept passing by on both sides, while asking the two excited and violent short winter melons to come back, "Pandora, why don't you say anything?"

Pandora's voice came after a few seconds of delay: "...I'm spelling my name."

Viska's devilish laughter sounded in the spiritual connection: "Ah ha ha ha~~ Sister is an idiot! You have to detonate them at the same time to read the words. Continuous bombing will not work!"

With a cold sweat on my forehead, I yelled in my mental connection: "You two, come back immediately!"

Two seconds later, Pandora and Huesca both caught up from behind. There are still explosions behind them. Apparently these two little guys left their floating cannons behind to contain and mislead the drones. Of course, I prefer to believe that they just haven't exploded enough...

"Brother, brother, do we want to blow a hole here?" Viska looked at the cracks in the armor under his feet excitedly, and took out his precious pimple cannon before he finished speaking, "This seems to be a weak point? But there are enough holes underneath. It can be armored, but I don’t know if it can be opened with one shot.”

While the girl was talking about aiming, Pandora next to her also acted in the same way as her: these two little girls are really good at explosives.

I'm also curious about how to get into this big guy with such tight barriers. I heard Vincent's voice ringing in my mind: "Your Majesty, the entrance to the battle fortress is ahead - don't let the general fire, as it will activate the internal defense system in advance."

I quickly asked Pandora and Visca to put away their precious pimple cannons, and while looking up, I found that the armored crack zone was almost at the end: not far ahead was a watchtower-like building blocking the crack. The end of the band.

All assault ships immediately slowed down, and the soldiers on board teleported out one after another. Vega and her scorpion soldiers were floating in a mess in the air, and the mechanical limbs of each scorpion soldier were scratching everywhere. Finally, the machete girl muttered depressedly in the public channel: "It is indeed a model without external gravity. I have so many legs that I can no longer use them.”

Scorpion soldiers have the ability to fight normally in a gravity-free environment, but they don't seem to like this in terms of personality.

"Let the assault ship go around the back of the fortress and explode itself, making it look like the collision failed." I looked up at the scarred spaceships. "Pandoravisca, if you two let your floating cannon continue to cause trouble outside, don't take it back."

After the assault ships that had switched to autopilot left, we quickly approached the "entrance" of the battle fortress. As expected, there was an automatic warning device: there were two rows of sensors outside the gate of the watchtower, which can also be seen on the outer wall of the watchtower. There are a large number of sentry guns. I estimate that these sensors will scan all units without identification codes. Even if a stone flies over, it will be shot by the sentry guns on the watchtower.

But Vincent already had a solution. He did not let the soldiers charge head-on, but led the team to an unknown facility that looked like a signal transmission tower a hundred meters away from the watchtower, and then quickly removed the protective plate from the base of the facility. .

After the protective plate fell, the crystallized structure inside was exposed. In the middle of the crystallized structure was a basic control crystal panel. Vincent thought for a while, and then decisively pulled the panel when I thought he was about to enter the crack password. Coming down...

"Weld this place together," Vincent said as he connected the three crystallized lines under the panel. Immediately, the energy flow in this set of circuits changed. "The warning device can be temporarily offline for thirty seconds... hurry up!"

Everyone immediately stood up and rushed to the entrance a hundred meters away. Sure enough, the scanners and sentry guns here stopped rotating. However, the power device of the entrance gate also stopped running, but this was not a problem. Vega went up and cut off the entire gate with three or four cuts: the armored scorpion's ship-cutting knife is specially used to destroy physical barriers, even charged armor He couldn't withstand their slashes, let alone such a fragile door in front of him.

Behind the gate was a shaft. A large group of us rushed in quickly. As everyone rushed into the shaft, the temporarily offline warning device also rescued itself and triggered the alarm. The layers of isolation armor quickly closed behind everyone—— But we're already here.

"Finally, before the alarm is triggered..." Vincent looked up and looked at the completely sealed entrance, "This blockade is very troublesome. It has a high-energy barrier. When attacked, it will release a powerful psionic energy impact. The effective range can cover the entire entrance. If the barrier is forcibly broken, even if only one layer is broken, the entrance will be directly melted and sealed, and we will have to enter through another more troublesome passage."

I noticed that artificial gravity and an atmospheric environment have appeared at the bottom of the shaft: this environment is still more comfortable.

In fact, Xiling Apostle itself does not need an atmospheric environment. "Breathing" is a dispensable "pastime" for them, but because their ancestors left some sporadic "memories of their home planet" when they created the original body, the Xiling apostles retained the habit of breathing, even if None of the fallen apostles can get rid of the memory of their home star from their ancestors, so their facilities also have an environment similar to their home star: artificial gravity, atmosphere, and a certain temperature.

"As planned. Groups of twenty people will work separately," I quickly ordered while looking at the forked roads in front of me. "Without a clear goal, your mission is to create chaos. The more exciting the explosions, the better - don't let As long as the guards here suspect that our target is the computer room."

The accompanying soldiers immediately took orders. Scattered towards the forks in the road, Vincent led the team in another direction: "I will take you to the computer room. There are many forks in this road and you may encounter guards on the road. Scorpion soldiers, please trouble you."

After the team advanced for a while, I heard the sound of firefights in the distance: other waves of soldiers should have encountered the guards or sentry guns in the fortress, and the battle was now beginning.

And I believe that the actions of my group of people should have been monitored by the fortress defense mechanism: such large facilities will be equipped with highly sensitive scanners, even if an unauthorized fly flies in. The building's defense mechanisms are detectable. From the beginning, this was not a standard "covert operation". We were just going to rush in boldly and then look like we were ready to blow up the fortress from the inside - the enemy just didn't expect that our target would be the entire planet's defense perimeter.

There should be guards or drones coming here. Vincent took out his psionic rifle and was ready to fight at any time. He led the team to move quickly along the corridor. I took the time to observe the surroundings while rushing on the road: The inside of the Fallen Apostle's facility looks quite normal. Although they like black and red paint, it's not serious enough to paint the entire building black. The environment here doesn't seem to be much different from the one in the imperial facility, except that all the blue signs and psionic energy pipelines have been replaced by red.

Vega led her Scorpion soldiers to guard Vincent and several "experts" when she suddenly stopped: "Vincent, where is the specific direction of the computer room?"

Vincent was stunned, raised his rifle and pointed at the end of the corridor: "There is a path after turning left ahead..."

"I'm not asking for directions, I'm asking for directions," Vega looked down at the former fallen apostle officer beside him. The expression on his face was very serious, "Well, just give me the coordinates. The origin of the coordinates is at my feet."

Vincent uploaded the coordinates through a spiritual connection for no apparent reason. Then I saw Vega taking two brisk steps to the front of the team, raising his machete and gesturing there. The other Scorpion soldiers also followed suit and raised their machetes and pointed in the same direction. Just when Vincent was about to ask what the other party wanted to do, this group of relatively straightforward scorpion soldiers answered with practical actions: they jumped up one after another and rushed towards the corridor floor at an angle of about thirty degrees, accompanied by There was a loud bang, and about twenty scorpion soldiers dug in in the blink of an eye.

Vincent and I went up to take a look, and found that underneath the huge steaming hole there was already a molten tunnel with blazing red light, and a group of Scorpion soldiers at the end of the tunnel were still digging desperately, and almost in an instant it was already there. From a distance, you can only see a group of small dots...

On the tunnel wall, you can see other corridors or fortress transportation pipes that have been dug through, as well as building structural beams that have been cut off in the middle - these supposedly indestructible super-alloy components have been chopped and crushed by a group of violent scorpions, which is miserable. It's like the baguette encountering Sandora.

Seeing the dumbfounded look on Vincent's face, I stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "The line segment between two points is the shortest... It is said that the nerves of the scorpion soldiers are also based on the shortest length. Get used to it slowly."

Vincent was still muttering to himself: "...I have seen many scorpion soldiers, and they are not so stunned."

How to put it this way, it may be that the New Empire used the blueprint extracted from Viska when manufacturing the Scorpion Soldiers, so there may be some mental problems, but in any case, the guts of these Scorpion Soldiers are still relatively good. : Look at the shortest route they have chosen now!

We rushed toward the computer room along the "fast lane" dug by the Scorpion soldiers. Along the way, we passed countless corridors cut off by volleys. We even encountered several enemy soldiers standing at the end of the corridor looking up and down with bewildered expressions. Pandora and Viska greeted each enemy soldier enthusiastically: some were given one shot, some were given two cannons, and some were given two cannons and then added three grenades...

In a moment, the team arrived at their destination: the Scorpion Soldier Excavation Team dug a path directly from the corridor to the ceiling of the machine room. The distance in between was at least thirty kilometers. I had already begun to plan to let Vega and her machete The girls went to help build the tunnel through the mountain in their spare time - they are actually pangolins with six legs, right?

In addition, where did they throw away the ruins they dug out? Should it be stored as trophies in a portable space?

Well, fighting with these scorpion soldiers will easily lead to death, so let’s get down to business.

The computer room had been "cleared" by the Scorpion Soldiers. No corpse of the fallen apostle was found at the scene, only a large amount of dust.

This is a circular hall, and the fortress host is in the middle of the hall: it is a huge cylinder with a radius of about three meters, connecting the ceiling and the ground, with a stream of blue light floating on the surface of the cylinder. The frequent flashing lights indicate that this thing is still functioning normally.

"There is a high-energy shield outside the host, which will rebound and attack, so direct contact is not allowed." Vincent reminded, pointing to the cylinder. As soon as he finished speaking, I saw a Scorpion soldier turn around and report with a dark face and an explosive head: "Yes, sir, there is really a high-energy shield outside the host!"

I:"……"

When these scorpions see the countdown bomb, they all want to go up and chop it twice to test their strength, right?

Our commotion has completely driven the fortress's security system crazy, and the piercing sirens have been ringing non-stop since just now. There were imperial weapons causing explosions everywhere, and the fortress guards exchanged fire fiercely with the commando soldiers on several routes. However, the "fast track" created by the Scorpion Soldiers became the line with the least conflict, for unknown reasons. He, it's just that these machete girls are too tough. This is why Armored Scorpions are regarded as the most dangerous unit in intrusive combat: they advance extremely fast and ignore restrictions such as conventional obstacles and terrain. They will destroy anything between themselves and the target in a straight line. . Including personnel wall shields and even energy furnaces in front of them, it was precisely because their assault route did not conform to common sense that the fallen apostles did not react at all - who would have thought that these cold weapon madmen would directly dig a dozens of lines inside the fortress. What about a kilometer-long straight tunnel rushing into the computer room?

So even though the Scorpion Soldiers caused more noise than expected, the situation did not worsen. Vega had destroyed all the alarm systems in the computer room, and a large group of killing madmen wiped out all the people in the computer room in an instant. We are now There should be a short period of time to crack the system, it won't be too long - the fallen apostle will always notice something strange in the computer room through other channels.

Vincent did not touch the huge fortress host directly. Instead, he found a console in the corner. At the same time, the other experts he brought with him also quickly operated on various control platforms. The blue shield floating on the surface of the fortress host flashed violently, as if resisting the abnormal shutdown instructions, but after just a few seconds, the shield slowly disappeared with a low humming sound.

"I haven't touched this system for a long time, and it feels a bit familiar now," Vincent said to himself as he started the external operation protocol with ease. "Well, they have indeed upgraded the identification library."

A huge holographic projection screen suddenly appeared in front of the fortress host, with a warning sign floating on it. An emotionless voice broadcast in the computer room: "Warning. The operator has not passed the identification process and does not have the operating authority. Warning, the operator has not passed the identification process." Through the identification process, you do not have the operation authority...The identification library was called again, and the query yielded no results. The operator left the console immediately. The operation you performed violated the security protocol. Continued input will cause the computer room killing program to be started."

At the same time as the broadcast in the computer room sounded, I also sensed a large number of moving energy points approaching here quickly. Vega quickly drew out her double swords: "Sir, the guards are here! They will arrive in one minute!"

Without saying a word, Pandora and Viska summoned a large number of floating cannons and rushed out of the machine room along the big hole that Vega and the others had just dug. After a while, the two sisters came back to me. Report: "Brother, brother, has blocked all the passages with floating cannons! As long as the machine room is not destroyed, other places can be blown up at will, right?"

I nodded to Visca and signaled the scorpion soldiers to go to other routes to fend off the fortress guards. Then I looked up at Vincent: "How long will it take to get it done?"

"Soon," Vincent first confirmed with a former Fallen Apostle technical advisor next to him, then raised his head and answered, "They have replaced the identification library, but there should be a loophole in the protocol execution process..."

"As soon as possible, don't panic, Pandora and the Scorpion Soldiers have already gone to stop the guards."

I nodded to Vincent, then looked up at the fortress host which was still buzzing.

Now the enemy already knows that the direct target of the Emperor's army is this place, but they should only think that we want to destroy the fortress, but they did not expect that our target is the entire planetary defense circle. But once Vincent starts to inject the order to terminate the agreement, the enemy will definitely I will find a way to block this infected host - I hope it's too late by then.

At this moment, Vincent suddenly loudly reported: "Your Majesty! Found something strange!"

(...Sure enough, no one is watching the war)
