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, they may take 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 that 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 24 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 war zone mobilization, 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 super civilization,
, the pace is always fast. We gather quickly, prepare for all battles quickly, and then use full firepower to turn the entire galaxy into a meat grinder within a few minutes. Such a fast-paced fighting method causes many ordinary races to even
Unable to keep up with our large forces, therefore, the first batch of training received by the Imperial Servants requires them to master two skills at the same time: the Imperial Basic Equipment Operation Guide, and the conditioned reflex combat response skills. The former allows them to know how to defeat the enemy.
The latter let them know how not to fall behind in order to prevent their heads from being ripped open by the enemy.
The large-scale battle that lasted for two days was already a very large-scale and long-lasting battle for the Xiling Empire, which had always used super-speed warfare 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 empire is in this
The regular army invested by the 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 frontier. Therefore, we are not at full strength.
into the battle. As for the first and second legions, they have been sent to other worlds by Sandora 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 attacks. The battle situation has temporarily entered a street state - I don’t know how long this street can last, but for now, what we can do
The only thing 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 more powerful than the regular army.
We have three more legions.
In fact, the number of the new empire's armies is far more than what we show on the battlefield. Otherwise, there is no need for us to fight with the fallen apostles: the enemy is just one Harlan, 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 only look at it this way, the number of fleets in the new empire is really weak, and it is not consistent with the powerful military expansion capabilities of the Xiling Apostles - the fact is of course
It's not like this.
In the imperial military establishment, all armies are divided into three military sequences:
The first sequence is ready to go into battle. It is the main force with high flexibility and war response speed. Except for special orders, the first sequence does not undertake any long-term or periodic military tasks, that is, "non-service". They are always
It is in a state of assembly and readiness. It can ensure that it is dedicated to the battlefield immediately after the war occurs, and all supporting military departments have the same response level. Currently, the first to sixth legions of the empire, 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 incorporated into the first battle order. The equipment used in this battle order is the most sophisticated, and they have priority to be exposed to the most cutting-edge warfare.
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 the garrison that guards the territory of the empire. They
Responsible for guarding the universe under the name of the empire, its 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 is the slowest, even in many cases
, the garrison 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, 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 garrison troops is huge, and their equipment is usually the most versatile equipment: because
Those things are easier to mass-produce, and their performance is more stable and easy to master. They also have motherships, but most of them are small and medium-sized warships suitable for regional operations. The combat effectiveness of the garrison cannot be compared with the first sequence, but in any case
Below, they are all superior to the combined fighting power of the indigenous inhabitants of the world where they are stationed. The last one is to prepare for the extermination order - to be prepared before there is any danger, and to be prepared before there is any danger.
The third sequence is between the main army and the first sequence. They are called the reserve echelon, or mobilization troops.
The number of this part of the army will never be constant. The reserve echelon is a transitional battle order. Eighty percent of their members are recruits who have just walked off the production line, and 20% of their members have just woken up from the resurrection facility.
, veterans who are still in the recovery period, the former will be incorporated into the garrison or the main army after a short period of actual combat, and 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 that prepares the garrison and the main legion, and its soldiers are continuously replenished to the first two sequences. The reserve echelon will perform all tasks on a daily basis, and they may be sent to assist a certain world as a garrison.
They may also join 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, they are the only ones with sufficient war response speed and can be directly supplemented on the battlefield——
In contrast, it is difficult for the garrison to be transferred from its station.
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 main combat forces 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 capacity. Since the empire's recovery, the territory has expanded rapidly, and we have set a number in each new territory.
Sufficient garrison force. This 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 army.
On the other hand, given the vast territory of the Fallen Apostles and the strong basic industry, it is impossible for the new empire to suspend the expansion of its territory. This is a deadlock. Sandora and I both know it well, and we also know that a head-on battle with the Fallen Apostles will
The earlier it comes, the greater the destructive power caused by this dead knot - therefore we have been delaying the time of a full-scale decisive battle with the fallen apostles as much as possible. As time goes by, the balance point between the empire's territorial expansion and the coldness of the mobile legions will gradually converge.
It is reasonable, even if the new empire cannot be equal to the fallen apostles in terms of absolute strength, at least our shortcomings in the first battle sequence can be made up to make it easier to accept...
Now it seems that Harlan is almost going to deal a fatal blow to our shortcomings.
"The reversal of bad luck 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 is 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. After we jump into the world from the void, our landing point 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 them. 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.
The probability of interception 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 conditions at any time and discover enemies.
The new jump point must be destroyed as soon as possible. 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 disk 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 it does not perish, the universe will become an unusable world and will perish in a short time.
If that's 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. At the same time, the suspended crystal fragments around her gradually stabilized. The reversal of doom aura is usually a sustainable effect, and she is guaranteed to be protected by the aura during the entire battle.
The unit has a higher chance of reflecting damage, 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. However, during the period of effect, the Fallen Apostles can almost be fully damaged by themselves.
The gunfire damage. And the scope of the halo is also greatly expanded. As a price, 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 extra large capacity.
"The shield of the second defensive column was seriously overloaded and it retreated to the inner formation. The first defensive column returned to the combat position."
The ship-based host is reporting some of the fleet's situation. The emotionless host always maintains a calm tone, but I have found that the defense change interval between the two defense columns has become very short, which means that the joint shield composed of the Frontier-class fortress ships is being integrated
Weakened - During the recharge of Sister's Reversal of Doom aura, all enemy attacks fall fully on the Union Shield. The pressure on the Frontier-class formations is great.
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
It's not very professional. Anyway, I can't think of a more suitable word. You can just understand the spirit.
I turned on the communicator. The holographic projection flashed twice, and a square and upright face with Chinese characters appeared on it. The only time when this face appeared on the military channel was that I liked it: "Cicaro, you
How long can the ship last?"
"Retain the ability to return, two hours. If you don't return, you will have to abandon the spacecraft at the cost of three hours and twenty minutes, and the entire army will be annihilated. Four hours and fifty-five minutes." Cicaro answered very seriously, and directly put himself
The lives of all the soldiers in the army are calculated into the combat time as shield strength. 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. To keep the shield unbroken for two hours under the overwhelming attack of the fallen apostles, this is already an amazing enough defense.
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 fleet of the fallen apostles."
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 debris floats 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 apostle immediately noticed the abnormal movements of the Sixth Legion. 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 miniature series of explosions. Those crystal fragments originally came from some decorative objects.
The crystal beads do not contain any energy, but they are now blooming brightly, crackling like detonated mini explosives. Each time they explode, a small shock wave will be generated. This embroidery
The shock waves under my sister's hand only have a radius of a few centimeters, but I know that each of them represents a starship several light years away that turned into a large fireball with a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
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 that this consumption made her uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, she still
He looked with satisfaction at the series of beautiful flowers 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. Fortunately, my sister's craftsmanship 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 broken pieces are almost intact.
Although severely damaged, the enemy's mothership and fortress ship with strong defenses are indeed still alive.
