Chapter 1546: A Sudden Turn of Events
We gathered up the imperial fleet that was building advance bases in other theaters, leaving only a part of the main force to intercept the reinforcements sent by the new army to the "Jingning Core". When the regrouped imperial fleet rushed through the gate of the world in front of us, what we faced is an unprecedentedly stubborn and crazy enemy.
The naval guns roared, the space vibrated, and the power that could tear the world apart was compressed into a battlefield with a radius of only a few astronomical units. Large swaths of battleships exploded and shattered like consumables, and the space was filled with hot metal fragments. and high-energy clouds floating around. The Emperor's Army forcibly established a position under the rapid counterattack of the New Army, which opened up the situation in this universe. However, the situation is not very optimistic: the world gate of this world is completely under the control of the New Army. Although the Emperor's Army used The World Gate was transmitted here, but it was interrupted halfway and fell into the void. Finally, it took a period of regular navigation to penetrate into this universe. We have spent a lot of effort on the world barrier, and now we are here It is even more difficult to gain a foothold in the material world. The reinforcements from the rear are working hard to catch up here, but without the World Gate, it may not be easy for the reinforcements to enter the enemy-occupied area.
Watching the joint shield continue to ripple under the bombardment of hyperspace firepower, my sister looked worried: "It seems that the enemy has reached the final stage. Are they trying their best to stop us here?"
There is a large piece of crystal debris suspended next to my sister. These debris look like just dust after ordinary crystals have been smashed, but they are arranged in an obviously regular array in the air. This is one of the media through which my sister releases the curse. But now they are not effective on the enemy, but imitate the formation of the imperial fleet. In the final analysis, my sister's curse is a kind of probability power. It can be used to kill the enemy and can also be used to protect herself. She uses her "Crystal Sand Dust" "A certain mysterious connection has been established with the Imperial Fleet, by constantly changing the structure of the sand and dust. The enemy's attack will fail out of thin air. This is a layer of probability shield. On a large enough battlefield, its effect is even more effective than an additional layer of joint shield.
The power of "Curse Goddess" can weaken the enemy's threat by a percentage, and can even invalidate the attack the moment the enemy launches an attack. No matter how large the opponent is, it cannot avoid the problem of probability. This is simply an artifact on the battlefield.
While her sister was concentrating on maintaining the mapping relationship between "Crystal Sand Dust" and the Imperial Fleet, she frowned and looked at the holographic projection in the center of the command hall: spy probes shuttled through space and were constantly communicating the situation in every corner of the universe. . We saw countless battle fortresses and a sovereign hub with unprecedented protection. These fortresses and sovereign hubs not only completely control the entire universe, but the information radiation they extend also "wraps" the nearby universe like tentacles: at the core of tranquility, the world in front of you is a source of interference. As long as it exists, there will be no one It can penetrate the defense line here and enter the core of tranquility.
With the current scale of the imperial fleet that has successfully penetrated, it is unrealistic to occupy this world. Of course, as time goes by, more imperial fleets and protoss troops will come in, and the Abyss Xiling will regain the situation. By then we will naturally be able to destroy the world, but the problem is... that will take a long time, and the New Army won't give us much time anymore.
"How far have they progressed?" I turned to look at the slim figure beside me. Abyss Xiling was leaning on his big box. She spent most of her energy directing her troops to continuously attack the universe around the Serenity Core, but of course she still had enough energy left to talk to others: "They are charging the activation terminal. That device consumes a lot of energy, and it cannot be charged in advance. Only. Being able to turn it on when ready to activate... I always thought this was a shortcoming, but I didn't expect that now it has bought time for you and me."
"How long does it take to recharge?" Sandora then asked.
"One day, but I will harass them as much as possible. The energy well they use for charging is placed in the shadow space. The two legions in the core of tranquility are trying to find a way to pull the shadow space to the surface world. This process will generate a very strong message Disrupt it, and the recharging process becomes difficult.”
"Your two legions are really tenacious..." Even in this situation, I couldn't help but sigh. When the old army raided the core of tranquility, several legions under Abyss Xiling were stationed there, and the latter Although they failed to hold the defense line, two legions survived a fierce battle, and they have persisted in fighting to this day. Not only did they not completely collapse, but they still had the power to attack the enemy's shadow space... These two legions are Abyss Xiling His ace?
"Ivanova is the defense officer of the Serenity Core. I have kept her in glorious form since the network split a few months ago, so the two legions under her protection were not defeated," Abyss Xiling still said With that everlasting indifferent smile, it seemed that the situation in front of her did not make her depressed, "Her glory form is extremely defensive, and it is different from Visca's starship that can only improve its own defense. , she is good at providing protection for the entire legion... She can probably last two or three days before her power is exhausted, but we only have one day. The preparation is still not enough... I didn't expect that the new army would be able to withstand it. If they forcefully start building the bridge with Ivanova's harassment, aren't they afraid that the precious starting end will be damaged in the accident?"
"You yourself said that the New Army has gone crazy from top to bottom. How much gain and loss can a madman consider?"
I said casually, then turned my attention to the battlefield in front of me again.
It's still not enough. It needs higher firepower, more troops, and a stronger offensive... The new army has gone crazy. A group of lunatics will squeeze out all their strength to fulfill their obsession. So if they want to defeat this A group of lunatics would have to use power far beyond theirs. I looked down at my hands, which were gradually losing their real sense and slowly turning into an indescribable dark form. The power of the void was slowly spreading, but another pair of slender hands came up and stopped me. of emptiness.
Qian Qian's eyes seemed a little worried, but her expression remained calm. After so many years, her personality changes after activating her abilities have become less and less obvious. The "big changes in temperament" that were previously uncontrollable are now more It was a kind of "calmness", and now she is very calm, and she also calmed me down: "Ajun, don't worry, you have to preserve your strength."
"The problem is that the enemies here are too troublesome." I frowned and looked at the holographic projection. The only imperial fleets that had penetrated were the Royal Fleet and the Second Fleet. However, the new army is huge in number, and they are pouring more hyperspace firepower here. Of course, in order to ensure the defense strength of the fortresses in various places, they have not yet concentrated all the firepower in the universe, but even now the focused firepower is almost beyond the endurance of the imperial fleet. The enemy commander in this universe seems to be a very calculating guy. He uses just the right amount of firepower to deal with the enemy, and does not waste energy just because he has a numerical advantage, so that he can hold on when more invaders infiltrate. Even longer... The new army fell into madness, but its tactical ability was not compromised at all.
Qian Qian thought seriously for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Then let me come up with a strategy..."
She hasn't finished yet. Everyone at the scene immediately pretended to look up at the scenery...
Just when I was brave enough to listen to what Qian Qian was thinking, Harlan's voice suddenly came from the communicator: "Who needs support?"
Accompanied by this slightly joking call, a large twisted vortex suddenly appeared in the empty space of 0.3 astronomical units next to the imperial fleet, and a black-red painted battleship slowly emerged from it: the abyss under Harlan The Independent Regiment was actually faster than other troops and penetrated into the world ahead of time.
Because he had to command his own legion, the main battle line was not with the main force of the empire, so Harlan was not on the Imperial Admiral, but on the general flagship of the Abyss Independent Regiment. Now this old man finally leads the fleet to join the main force!
After a long period of development, the Abyss Independent Regiment has now become a very large group army that is larger than the average regular army. Harlan is even considering re-dividing the independent regiment according to the standard army organization to form the Abyss First Fleet and the Abyss Second Fleet. This shows how big this army is. This powerful fleet immediately reversed the situation as soon as it entered the battlefield. The new army was caught off guard. Their hyperspace firepower was quickly disrupted by the massive gravity traps dropped by the Abyss Independent Regiment, while the "close range" troops within a few astronomical units Then they met the raid of the imperial fleet. Sandora caught the enemy's confusion for a moment. Thousands of assault ships and an even larger number of individual fighters crossed the space barrier and rushed into the enemy's formation to bombard them indiscriminately.
And the servant army who fought with the Emperor finally had a chance to play a role: in the previous fierce battles, they could hardly leave the joint shield. We can only rely on the unmanned carrier-based aircraft continuously released by the general aircraft carrier to intercept the enemy's jump warheads and act as close-in defense artillery. But now the enemy's attack is temporarily attracted by the Abyss Independent Group, and those huge general aircraft carriers immediately seize the opportunity. Engaged in counterattack against the enemy. Especially the fleet of the Hessian tribe... simply rushed out with a carnival mentality.
And just when the situation improved slightly, a strange feeling suddenly spread from my heart.
I can't describe what this feels like. If I have to say it, it's almost the same as when I "returned to the void", but it's much weaker than that. I looked up and looked around, and found that others didn't seem to notice anything unusual. However, when I turned to look at the space screen, an obvious strange phenomenon appeared in space.
This was originally a very desolate universe, with few celestial bodies and extremely thin energy and matter. There were only a very limited number of stars in the dark space and cooling nebulae that were so dim that they were almost invisible. But just now, a huge " "Lightning" flashed across the entire universe. Yes, the entire universe, not a few kilometers, not a few light years, not a nebula, but the entire universe was instantly penetrated by a twisted bright line!
Although it is impossible to see the entire universe from an external monitor, and the normal "field of view" cannot be so broad that it can see the entire world at a glance, at that moment I was not observing with my naked eyes, but because of the "return to the void" The hallucination directly scans the "information snapshot" of the entire universe from the information level, so it is certain that there was a distorted flash of light that penetrated the entire world just now.
But this seems unrealistic... It is impossible for such lightning to penetrate the entire universe, and normal natural phenomena will never create such a thing that far exceeds the speed of light. If it is a universe with a diameter of hundreds of billions of light years, Then even if a lightning is infinitely powerful, it will take hundreds of billions of years to spread from one end of the world to the other, so I immediately ruled out the possibility of "natural lightning".
What's more, lightning can't occur in space.
It might be some kind of psionic spark, or the arcane magic released by Belavera - if a Raven Emperor takes action, it doesn't seem unimaginable to pierce the entire universe with a "lightning". But I didn't feel any consistent energy fluctuations from the flash of light just now. It stands to reason that it was that large. The energy response should be amazing.
I don’t know what the flash of light just now was, but it was obviously some kind of “paranormal phenomenon” that exceeded the speed of light, penetrated the universe, and spread “synchronously” to the entire world in an instant. And this time, I am no longer the only one who feels abnormal. Others have also seen strange scenes in space. Perhaps others cannot take a "snapshot scan" of the entire universe like the void creatures, and cannot determine this at the first time. Glitter pervades the world, but they are sure to find something extraordinary about it.
"What was that just now?" Qian Qian was the first to jump up. Anyway, she was always the first to jump up whenever something weird happened.
Sandora was also surprised: "Lightning? Sparks of psionic energy? But how come it is so large...and there is no energy response."
Just when everyone was confused by the flash just now. The voice of Abyss Xiling suddenly came from the side: "It's the activation terminal! The New Army may be forcibly activating it! When it slowly wakes up, it will produce powerful information radiation, and the surrounding universe will produce abnormalities!"
"Don't we have to recharge for another day?!" I exclaimed, and at the same time, the second "lightning" illuminated the universe again.
This time I finally saw clearly that there was something else in this flash of light: the equipment showed that it was tens of thousands of kilometers wide, and the bright white light that was tens of thousands of kilometers wide contained various vague images, some of which were distorted starry skies. , some are elongated suns, and there are also some weird-colored things that look like space clouds, giving people the impression of severely deformed mirages.
"God knows how they solved the energy problem..." Abyss Xiling spoke urgently. She was distracted from talking to us while quickly mobilizing the fleet. "The starting end requires an amazing amount of energy to activate. Although an external energy pool can be connected, even the most powerful nether energy well will take at least a day to fill the energy pool... Where did they find the energy?! Could it be under my nose? Did they build something else down there?!”
"boom!"
A loud noise suddenly echoed in the command hall of the Imperial Admiral, and even the alloy ground beneath our feet shook slightly. The external monitor quickly locked on the source of the impact. It turned out that several super-heavy fortress missiles bombarded the Union shield. The shield overload caused a shield broadcast tower next to the Imperial Admiral to explode. The shock wave when the broadcast tower exploded reached The flagship.
It seems that the flash of light in the universe gave the new army great motivation. The offensive they had just been suppressed suddenly became unprecedentedly powerful again, and the attacks encountered by the imperial fleet instantly increased several times!
"Keep fighting, don't think about anything else!" Sandora ordered loudly to the command hall. "All firepower is locked on the Sovereign Hub!"
Only by destroying the Sovereign Hub here can we drill a hole in the interference barrier leading to the Serenity Core, otherwise we won't even be able to open the Void Route. No matter how many emergencies there are currently, there is only one top priority right now, and that is to eliminate the world's defensive forces!
And I turned to Abyss Xiling: "You just need to say how much time you have now!"
"Ten hours, the specific time is uncertain," Abyss Xiling's voice was no longer so confident for the first time, "I have never activated the startup terminal, and all the signs after it started running were all guessed by me... Including how long it takes for that thing to reach its energy peak, these are only theoretical values."
"I hope your theory is reliable," I stared at the central projection, "Ten hours... may be enough time."
The space was filled with flashes of explosions, and the ripples from the Union shield made the entire fleet seem to be immersed in some kind of strange "ocean". However, the only thing visible within sight was the Imperial fleet, and the nearest enemy was also there. A few astronomical units away, and even further may be at the edge of the universe. This is a clash of super-dimensional firepower, and the energy that destroys the world is drilling holes in the space. The battle has caused the stability of the entire universe to begin to decline... Declining stability of the universe?
"Might as well destroy the world."
I suddenly came up with a great idea, but this idea seems to be really reliable!
On a battlefield of this level, it is not unimaginable to destroy the entire universe to reverse the situation. Although it is really loud, it's not like we haven't done this before.
The main reason why Tranquility Core cannot enter now is interference. The New Army has established very powerful information interference sources in several universes around Tranquility Core. These interference sources prevent the world gate from opening, and the fleet's void engine cannot work properly, so It is difficult to get close to the core of tranquility whether by teleportation or cruise. To solve this problem in the shortest time, the best way is of course to destroy the source of interference!
Originally we thought of using conventional warfare to destroy the enemy's sovereignty hub, so that we could at least retain some of the results, but now...
When fighting a madman, you really shouldn't try to take advantage.
"Destroy this world?" Abyss Xiling was stunned, and then understood my thoughts, "Indeed, this can shut down the sovereign hub in the shortest time, so that there will be gaps in the interference around the tranquil core, and we can Use the void route to rush over...but the new army must have strengthened this universe, and conventional world-destroying weapons may not be so easy to take effect."
Father God's voice suddenly came from the communicator: "The conventional ones don't work, then use the unconventional ones." (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!
