Chapter 990 They Will Never Be so Simple

(It’s an early update today, that’s it!)

I am certainly sure that this was not the intention of the fallen apostle to launch an attack when the two super bosses, Father God and Huron God King, were both guests in the Empire District. I can only say that they suffered the worst joke played by fate. : It’s really not the right time to come.

The two bosses almost boarded the Imperial Admiral with a festive mentality...

Lin Xue's prediction was soon confirmed. Almost at the same time that the Royal Fleet and the largest empire's First Legion embarked on their journey, intelligence from the border world showed that a large number of high-concentration abyssal reactions appeared in the void.

It's the army of fallen apostles, they will arrive in twenty-four hours.

We have plenty of time. We have at least ten hours to set up a new defense line. The world on the edge of the empire is already heavily guarded. Coupled with the two imperial ace armies that are about to arrive, the defense force is enough to cope with this crisis, but before heading there On the way to the front, I felt something was very wrong.

Of course, I am not surprised by the attack of the fallen apostles. In fact, since we successfully raided the opponent's three scientific research worlds not long ago, we have been prepared to welcome the enemy's retaliatory strikes at any time. No matter whether it is the fallen apostle or the Xiling apostle, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to such an attack. As long as Haran regroups the army and is supported by other fallen apostles, the enemy's retaliatory blow will definitely come, and it has been touched on both sides. In the case of the other party's homeland, the most likely target of such a retaliatory strike is the border of the Imperial Zone.

In previous deductions, Sandora and experts from the Third Intelligence Core believed that the two universes most likely to be attacked should be wnn-3 and wen-116. These two worlds are the empire's The universe on the border is most likely to have been exposed to the enemy's sight, and as a newly discovered world, there are only a few military stations and three or four colonial planets maintained there. They are not of great strategic significance, but they lead to the void. Suitable springboards from deeper depths, these two worlds were easy to attack for the Fallen Apostles, although not able to deal much of a blow to the military power of the new empire. But it can greatly slow down the expansion of the new empire's territory. This should be the best target for attack. It is also based on the results of this deduction that Sandora has recently been allocating troops to strengthen the defense forces of these two worlds that only have numbers but no names.

However, according to the intelligence coming from the border. The location where the abyss reaction occurred was outside another border world: xf-35-a.

According to the empire's recently revised border world naming rules, a newly discovered universe or a universe with no colonial value will not have an official name (of course its local residents may give their own universe a name), it will only have a set of codes, codes Made up of letters and numbers. The first part of the letter represents the Void Quadrant in which the world is located and the energy level when it was discovered (I still have a partial understanding of what the Void Quadrant is). The second part is the serial number at the time of registration. Generally, these are used for worlds that are not taken seriously. Two-part naming, however in special cases, the serial numbers of these frontier worlds will have a third part: a letter. b, a, or s means that they themselves have no important value, but as springboards, they lead to a direct world with important value. The universes with the suffix b represent that they have world gates leading to the general directly governed world, such as leading to a Martian sanctuary or a certain colony, and the universes with the suffix a represent that they lead to a military world. Like Azeroth or the Empire of Vidis. There are currently only two or three border universes with the suffix s. This letter means that it can be transmitted directly to the capital of the empire - usually such a world is a place bordering the star realm.

XF-35-A is located on the border. As a springboard, it leads directly to the universe where the Pan-Galaxy Civilization Community is located. It is a desolate world that we dragged from the depths of the void (that is, modifying the information representation of the entire world so that it obtains new void "coordinates", which is a big project. But it is worth the money) and serves as a jumping window for the celestial system fleet. The reason for setting up such a springboard. It is because of the huge shape of the Nether Energy Death Star and the huge information disturbance phenomenon that it will cause damage to the surrounding space every time it is transmitted, the more urgent it is to act. This kind of damage is more significant, so we linked a springboard next to the closed universe where the community is located. The psionic Death Star can first fall into this close "springboard" at a low energy level, and then accelerate towards it unscrupulously. On the battlefield, there is no life on the XF-35-A anyway, so we don’t have to worry about how many galaxies the celestial system fleet will tear apart during its forced jump. And Shandora and I also hope that this world can become a bridgehead when launching larger-scale military operations against the fallen apostles in the future - by then it may have its own name.

Obviously, the defense in such a place is quite tight.

The fallen apostle's attack on such a hard bone is what makes people feel the most abnormal - not to mention that this xf-35-a is also connected to a harder bone than it.

The universe in which the community is located is well-defended and heavily stationed. Not only is the empire's most powerful super-scale fleet docked, but it is also home to the new empire's most ferocious servant army. You can imagine how strong its military power can be, even if it doesn't matter where it is. For the fallen apostles, the stationed imperial fleet and the community's combined fleet should also be an impressive enemy. In the barbaric area between the border of the Empire Zone and the border of the Fallen Apostles, the Imperial Army has had many encounters with the fleets of the Fallen Apostles. Basically, they all quickly annihilated the opponent as soon as they met and then turned around and ran away. Blitzkrieg, in this kind of battle, the fierce and violent community fleet is almost as dangerous as the regular army of the empire. They have the most sophisticated equipment supported by the empire (almost the good stuff used by the regular army of Xiling, the ones who fought with the "Shepherds" Veteran pilots who have been fighting for countless years are familiar with these equipment very quickly), and there are also the most desperate lunatic pilots in the multiverse except for the Xiling Apostles. The fallen apostles took it lightly when they first encountered these mortal fleets, and as a result, they fell into the community. The pilot's "shoot all the ammunition within one minute" tactics caused great losses.

The small troops sent by the Fallen Apostles to gather intelligence several times before encountered this group of wolves every time near xf-35-a, so they should know that these servants with abnormal combat effectiveness are permanently stationed at xf-35-a. Next to such a special servant army, there will definitely be regular Imperial legions stationed nearby. Just like if you see a group of hunting dogs in the forest, you should first guess that there is a group of hunters with guns nearby. This is a place where the Community fleet frequently appears. There is definitely a group of imperial fleets stationed there, so even if they don't know the location of the community universe, the fallen apostles should not attack xf-35-a rashly.

"This ship will arrive at the target in thirty minutes."

The broadcast sound of the shipboard host interrupted my thoughts, and before I knew it, the fleet was almost at the end. Shandora was studying the battle report in front. She noticed that I came back from the fugue state, and she waved to me.

"The enemy came here in a big way. It was not a sneak attack."

Sandora pointed to the battle report and said, "The abyss reaction on the enemy's body was not disguised, and their fleet did not make multiple confusing jumps. It can be said to be coming straight over. There are already a large number of signals gathered in the world of this universe. Outside the barrier, the number is still increasing rapidly. I don’t know how many spacecraft they have assembled. This is a strong attack, and they just want to directly destroy the springboard of XF-35-A."

"Why attack?" Qian Qian lay on my arm with a confused look on her face. "Isn't this just being watched?"

"If we don't attack by force, we won't be surrounded?" I shrugged, Qian Qian bit her tongue immediately, "We have a prophet here. They should have known about it a long time ago, so there is no possibility of them making a sneak attack."

The eldest lady immediately raised her chin with great satisfaction. Qianqian started to cover her mouth and glare at me.

"I always feel that something is not right," my sister looked at the holographic projection worriedly. There were more and more spaces marked as possible breakthrough points. "XF-35-A is not an easy place to take down. The fallen apostle will touch it here." After several times of nailing, they couldn't have imagined that this place was heavily guarded."

It seems that I am not the only one who thought of this. After my sister finished speaking, Sandora also nodded in agreement, but who can predict the actions of the fallen apostle?

At this time. All the fleets that came to consolidate the defense line have arrived at the position mark. The shipboard host turned on the Imperial Admiral's external observation equipment, and the scene in space was directly transmitted to the giant holographic projection in the center of the command hall.

What appears before our eyes is an iron-gray chaos: Many places in the xf-35-a space are filled with aerosol-like clouds composed of heavy metals and unstable compounds. They are often hundreds of millions of light-years wide. These Aerosol clouds are the most important celestial system in this universe, which is now the diffuse iron-gray area outside the fleet. Due to differences in some physical constants, the number of planets with fixed shapes in this universe is extremely rare. Moreover, it is often unable to move along a stable orbit for a long time, and the entire space is like a pot of thin and cold soup. Deep in the iron-gray haze before our eyes. There are some purple-red cracks that are slowly expanding, and the radar system has marked these cracks with eye-catching colors and text. They are world barriers that are gradually melting away. The early warning radar's judgment is very accurate. Several major breakthrough points of the fallen apostle fleet have been found.

Watching those cracks expand, we are not doing nothing. Although it is not cost-effective to attack the enemy fleet that is still in the void, we can place some space mines on these cracks in advance. These mines may be effective against the enemy's large ships. The unit effect is insufficient, but for the assault fleet with thin skin and low health, it is almost guaranteed to kill.

"The Garden of Death is now online, and ninety-nine percent of this universe is under complete surveillance," Sandora said softly, "They will be exposed wherever they come from."

"Just let me know if you need help," Sheila patted me on the shoulder, "Xingchen and I haven't done anything for several years."

"Just watch," Sandora said, "We will fight our own battles and resolve them ourselves."

"The barrier is broken, and a large mass is being generated from space." The shipboard host interrupted their conversation by issuing an alarm. The red light on the bridge flashed for a moment, entering a combat state. Then, the largest point on the holographic screen The space rift was enveloped by a series of continuous explosions. The space mines were activated, and the enemy's vanguard had entered the material plane. The first thing that greeted them was the large-yield bomb.

"It's really a force attack." My sister twitched her lips and looked at the small black dots that kept rushing out from the afterglow of the explosion. They were the assault fleets that had passed the blockade, and behind them, the iron-gray mist and bright Inside the explosion of light, more huge black shadows are gradually peeking out.

"The second wave of space mines has been posted," a commander reported on the communication link, "more enemy ships are taking shape."

"Launch the fortress missiles, don't skimp on firepower, they are not afraid of battle losses this time." Sandora immediately ordered the release of giant warheads dedicated to the mothership, because the radar showed that the enemy's mothership formation was closely following the assault fleet. It's like a big army pushing tactics.

Bastion missiles refer specifically to two types of jump warheads in the current Imperial Army arsenal, one is the "x3-Gravedigger". A super-heavy jump missile with a length of several hundred meters, it can jump to the vicinity of the target in space and then conduct terminal guidance. Its warhead contains a high-concentration "plasma" ball of psionic energy, which relies on psionic energy explosion to produce a rough and effective direct attack. Kill. The second type is the recently successfully manufactured "x4-Death Knell", a cutting-edge compound-killing missile. Its propulsion mechanism is the same as that of the Gravedigger, but in addition to the psionic explosion, the warhead can also produce a very wide range The mathematical disorder can cause the strength of the strong mutual force and the weak mutual force in the target area to be confused or even disappear for a short time. At the same time, it can also induce space collapse and even dimension collapse. For entities with entities, its killing effect is almost infinite: the psionic explosion first destroys the enemy's possible psionic shield, and then the mathematical laws begin to tear apart their Armor and hull. This is the astonishing effect of a "mathematical law-bending device", a missile reverse-engineered from the Battle Song. Tavel created this "miniaturized" equipment when she tried to copy the law weapon on the Warsong, but due to lack of technology, she was unable to make it run stably for a long time after it was started. It only runs for a minute. At first we thought it was a waste product, but soon those scientists with no limits discovered that it was perfect to install it on a heavy missile: anyway, the warhead of a missile only takes a few seconds.

So "x4-Death Knell" was born.

However, because the manufacturing process requires a dedicated Xiling host to personally supervise and debug the work, currently the war factories capable of manufacturing "x4-Death Knell" are concentrated in the capital world. This limited-production fortress missile is only equipped in the Royal Fleet and the First Legion. In the past, the defense forces in the border areas could not afford this thing, and the "x3-Gravedigger" was still the mainstay of the Empire's jump missile family.

The super-heavy missile, as huge as the Tower of Babel, rushed out of the launch silo in a dazzling blue light. It tore ripples in the air, and a few seconds later bombarded the enemy formations that were still tens of millions of kilometers away. The subsequent missiles were like swarms, rushing towards the target in groups. Ensure the continuity of firepower: The mothership is rough and thick, and the shield recharges very quickly. If the firepower cannot be guaranteed to be continuous, it is just scratching an itch.

At the same time, Galaxy began to recharge, waiting for the best time for a full-scale bombing: when the enemy's fortress ship was destroyed by those super-heavy warheads.

The Home Defense Force has approached the world rifts from the flanks. Behind them is a larger community joint fleet. The wolves are already waiting for the opportunity. When the fleet of the fallen apostles has to face the royal fleet head-on, these wolves will Bite the enemy's behind. So far everything seems to be under control. The combination of frontal assault and prepared defensive battle is such a boring thing. The tricks that both sides can play are really limited. The frontal confrontation of the mothership formation will be a rough and simple firepower contest in the end. Of course , the defender should be more flexible: after all, we still have space fortresses and positional artillery to provide support, and the Home Defense Force and Servant Army are also mobile forces that can be flexibly mobilized.

"More enemy ships are entering this world," Sandora's expression gradually became serious, "But it's not that Haran's army... Look at these images, sent back from the crossfire line, these marks are the military emblem of another fallen emperor. .”

"I'm a little uncomfortable," Lin Xue suddenly muttered, covering her head, "They seem to be trying to interfere with me. Are there any strong sources of interference in these fleets?"

Sandora quickly searched, and found something after a moment, and immediately shouted: "Here! A battleship that has never been seen before, with amazing energy response!"

What appeared on the screen was an extremely ugly monster. To say it was a battleship was hard to find any other word to describe it. It looked like a half-rotten tomato, with pits and bumps, and its surface was covered with protrusions flashing with lightning. , when the radar focused on this ugly monster, the picture appeared extremely unstable, and the scanning results showed that its energy response exceeded that of any main battleship. However, this thing seems to have no offensive power. In addition to constantly releasing chaotic information pulses and psionic radiation, it is hiding in the guard group of countless motherships and does not participate in the battle.

"The picture is starting to blur... kill this thing!" The eldest lady covered her head and tried to concentrate, "It's disturbing me!"

"Then we must first destroy the hundreds of Eternal-class ships blocking the middle of the road." Sandora realized that the situation might not be right. However, that ugly thing was protected by layers of layers and could not be harmed at all in a short period of time. " Garden of the Dead, try to see if you can pull it out!”

The Garden of Death has the power to cross the void and manipulate part of the data of another universe. This also includes modifying the spatial coordinates of some places, such as such cruel things as causing two star systems in another world to collide. Under the influence of the Garden of Death, that The rotten persimmon-shaped thing disappeared for a moment, but just when we thought it would fall into the imperial military firepower network, it reappeared in the same place.

"Okay, space anchor, multiple layers of false coordinates," Sandora smashed the table, "Lin Xue, how are you?"

"Headache, dizziness, blurred vision when looking into the future," Lin Xue took a few deep breaths, "but it will be fine after stopping the ability to predict. They are very good, they specially created such a thing to deal with me."

"I'm more worried about one thing now," Sandora frowned, "What do they want to do when they block the prophet's eyes!?" (To be continued)
