Two huge fleets faced each other in the cold and silent space. Although the two sides were hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart, the tense atmosphere had penetrated into everyone's bones.
"Zeratu, are these your people?"
Although I had a basic understanding of the situation, I still asked the Dark Templar beside me.
"If we tell it from the perspective of Protos, they are my people," Zeratul's voice sounded low and slow, "but maybe Tal'darim is not willing to recognize us exiled heretics as our compatriots.
.”
What a damn xenophobic spirit, I sighed in my heart after listening to Zeratul’s words.
The internal divisions in Protos have long been repaired through the joint efforts of Zeratul and Tassadar, but the Tal'darim branch tribe seems to still have a renewed interest in the Dark Templar warriors who are regarded as "heretics".
It was unacceptable to be embraced by the tribe. These secrets that were difficult to learn in the original "plot" were really eye-opening - just like a saying I heard a long time ago, the people who hate you the most are often the ones who hate you the most.
are your compatriots.
"What is your request?"
I had already made up my mind, and I just took the time to say polite words to the other party. However, Pross took this inquiry as a sign of weakness and immediately said in a rising tone: "Leave our holy land immediately and hand over our artifact.
And you, as the leader of this force, must come to our battleship in person to express repentance for your reckless behavior!"
"Ground troops, continue operations."
I shrugged and ordered with a calm expression. Immediately, several research ships that had stopped moving began to scan and analyze the Protos halls again.
Naturally, I am not the kind of person who will arbitrarily desecrate other people's beliefs and cherished things. Therefore, even if Tal'darim does not appear, I will not rashly destroy these Protos relics, but only try my best to protect these mysterious buildings.
Exploring carefully, even Zeratul himself has no objection to our harmless inspection, but in the eyes of the fanatical and xenophobic Tal'darim, maybe we "foreigners" are just standing in front of them
This is already a great desecration on the holy land of our ancestors. I think the best way to deal with such unreasonable theories is to just ignore them.
Damn you! If I hadn’t ordered Uncle Z to unilaterally freeze the Bill of Rights on Protus right now, it wouldn’t take long for the Ya family to be exterminated!
The actions of our ground forces immediately angered the Ta'darim fleet, which was confronting the imperial fleet hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. The enemy commander named Pros issued an ultimatum-like ultimatum to us in a stern tone.
Declaration: "Stupid and barbaric aliens! You must pay the price for your ignorance! Your fragile spaceship must be turned into a flame of atonement for the Protoss ancestors to purify the crimes you have committed!"
After ProLogis completed such a stern ultimatum, our mothership host immediately sent out a high-energy response alarm. Unexpectedly, the other party's patience was even less than I imagined. In total, the video lasted less than three or two sentences before decisively going offline.
The fight has begun!
As a powerful race with the highest technology in this sector, Protos's fleet is naturally incomparable to those of human spaceships, not to mention that the opponent's number of ships totals nearly 10,000. When the opponent's main gun is charged,
In an instant, the mothership's main engine sounded a rapid alarm.
"Warning! Warning! High-energy response from the front! High-energy response from the front! The battleship shield power is increased! Ready to meet artillery fire."
The more than a thousand shuttle-shaped battleships that followed the "God Clan" mothership were just as I expected. They were the famous void ships - of course, there is also another name called the Quguang Ship. I think the second name is used.
This name is more appropriate, because after knowing the true meaning of the word "void", I feel that these battleships are given the name of void, which is somewhat unworthy of the name.
Through the holographic projection in front of me, I can see that the mechanical arms at the front of those fusiform battleships are slowly opening, and a series of focusing prisms on the inside are floating with bright blue-white light, starting hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
Charging, and this energy has not yet been launched, which proves that in the real interstellar world, the early charging of the light ship does not need to continuously attack a specific target - this huge difference from the game settings makes
This type of concentrated photon cannon that can multiply its power during attacks has an even more alarming threat, just like those Zerg that can create mobile hatching tanks and disposable flying dragons on the front line. It seems that existence in the real world will always
It is more than one level better than the information projection on earth.
"Zeratul, I'm sorry, it seems I have to fight your brethren."
The situation has taken a turn for the worse, making this experienced warrior feel a little bit of a struggle. Having had some contact with Imperial warriors, he already has an understanding of our strength, especially Lilina's two stunning attacks, which made him even more interested in us.
He was in awe of the mysterious power. Although this understanding was still very superficial, it was enough for him to understand that the Protos fleet hundreds of thousands of kilometers away did not necessarily have any advantage in this confrontation. Once the war started, I am afraid that
The result would be terrible, but in the end, he still let out a long sigh.
When things have reached this point, no one can stop the fight from breaking out.
"The entire imperial fleet is de-phased! Affiliated units enter the mothership's protective force field! The battleship's main gun is charged, the energy skimmer is targeted, and all enemy energy attack equipment is used!"
After obtaining my permission to fight, the mothership captain immediately issued a series of precise orders with great skill. The Imperial fleet, which had always been quiet like a beast lurking in the shadows, finally revealed its power in the face of Tal'darim's active provocation.
Horrible Fangs.
Strictly speaking, although there has been an exchange of fire with the fleet of the ** Federation before, it was just a personal crushing game between Pandora and Visca. Thousands of human warships were a match for two strategic-level little girls.
It's not even a toy. Today is the real battle between the imperial fleet and the alien fleet. Therefore, I had no reservations from the beginning and ordered all kinds of equipment that sounded extremely awesome to be activated one by one.
.
Amazing energy flows through every pipeline of the huge battleship, and the chirping sound of the energy flow rises suddenly like a rapidly approaching train whistle. Led by the Eternal-class battlecruiser as the flagship, the heat dissipation grid under the rear of each Xiling spacecraft
In an instant, it changed from dark red to dazzling white. The Galaxy main gun on the bow of the Eternal-class ship gradually emerged with brilliant sparks under the joint power supply of three different space nether energy wells. This unprecedentedly powerful concentrated energy cannon
The charging even made the bridge we were on tremble slightly - or maybe this was my imagination. To be honest, even if you just looked at it from the holographic projection, the charging process of the galaxy was too burning.
Zeratul's eyes flashed with a complex light. On the one hand, the fanatical pagans of Tal'darim were enemies of the Dark Templar. They even attacked the Protoss of Shakuras more than once.
have launched unreasonable attacks, and in many cases, they always "purify" every Dark Templar they encounter as a heretic. But on the other hand, even if they are enemies, the current
The situation was also that a group of "emperors" of unknown origin were firing at their own people, so Uncle Z was very confused.
At this time, the charging of the enemy's more than a thousand warp ships has finally ended. Our non-dodgeable response may have made Poulos a little confused, but this did not stop him from attacking us in the slightest.
A distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers can be reached in an instant for a concentrated energy cannon at the speed of light, but the core computer carried by the Eternal class, which is considered abnormal in any imperial battleship central computer, is faster than the speed of light.
When thousands of huge photon jets were about to contact the forward of the Imperial fleet, a synthesized female voice rang through the bridge: "Dephasing begins!"
Like a reflection in the water that was suddenly disturbed, the huge Imperial fleet began to shake unrealistically for an instant, as if it had turned into an image without substance.
The opponent's thousand torrent of photons, which took a long time to hold back, penetrated the imperial fleet that had turned into an image, and even the maintenance robot outside responsible for polishing, oiling and changing the third filter of the legion's flagship did not injure a single one.
But this was only the beginning of the panic that gripped the Tal'darim fleet.
"Activate the skimmer."
I nodded to the captain next to me.
Let me see how powerful Tavel's latest achievement is - the energy skimmer. Tavel researched and developed it based on my special abilities, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to trial-produce the first-generation experimental energy attack equipment.
Although it cannot completely simulate my abilities, it is enough to invalidate all conventional energy attacks.
The imperial fleet that had entered a state of nothingness slightly adjusted its formation. Instead of avoiding the huge torrent of photons, it faced the enemy's attacks head-on one by one, and then began to gradually re-enter materialization.
"The anti-phasing effect is about to end, the energy skimmer has been successfully activated, and the target energy sample has been obtained...the energy channel is being established...the channel is being established...the power of the energy skimmer is being increased...the test data is ready to be recorded."
A blue halo passed over each Xiling spacecraft under attack by the warp ship. The entire imperial fleet also lifted the state of nothingness at the same time. Thousands of photon torrents that were charged to the extreme finally hit the real thing.
The target instantly stirred up dazzling white flames on our spaceship. The Tal'darim fleet, which was still in shock just now, saw that its attack was effective, and immediately increased the output power of the light ship even harder——
Until they discovered that all the energy in the spacecraft was out of control.
The light beam connected between the curved light ship's energy-gathering crystal and the Xiling spacecraft grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Within a few seconds, it had exceeded the maximum power attack that a normal curved light ship could release. It was a dazzling blue and white color.
Energy sparks began to crackle from the energy-gathering crystal on the bow of the curved light ship, and then gradually spread to their entire hull. Because it was out of control from the inside out, the Protoss were proud of it.
The plasma shields had no effect at all, and within ten seconds, the plasma shields on those warships were already crumbling - their last remaining energy was being exhausted by the siphons of the energy skimmers.
The captains of the curved light ships tried to cut off the energy supply of the focusing crystal, but the energy channels established by the energy skimmers had spread throughout their entire hulls. As long as there were ways to conduct energy, they had been accurately controlled by the Eternal-class host.
Incorporated into the energy channel, their resistance is completely futile.
Soon, the more than a thousand curved light ships that had been floating with a light blue halo gradually dimmed, and dense energy sparks filled their streamlined hulls. These completely drained Protos warships began to twist and deform,
That was the energy skimmers squeezing the crystal energy in their structures. Pros tried to contact the soldiers in the battleships, but could only get a shrill scream - Thirteen seconds later, the energy skimmers had begun to absorb Proto
The spiritual energy in this person's body.
In the end, when the soul of the last curved light ship captain was completely squeezed out, and not even a trace of chemical energy was left in every cell in his body, the energy skimmer finally completed this gluttonous feast, destroying more than a thousand ships.
The warships turned into dim and twisted metal debris and were released from the force field, allowing them to crash crookedly onto the surface of the Pimple Star.
"The energy skimmer has been charged, and the energy form is being converted...the Galaxy main gun attacks for the first time..."
Accompanied by such a plain mechanical female voice, the "Galaxy" main gun, which had been charged three times before, released a huge energy torrent with a diameter of several kilometers. Under my instruction, it avoided the three Tadarim ships.
The aircraft carrier, instead, made an "S"-shaped cut in its phalanx of thousands of frigates.
Facing this loaded version of "Galaxy" that can cut small planets in half, the plasma shield is as if it doesn't exist. In the Ta'darim's phalanx, a series of explosions illuminate the dark and cold starry sky.
Just after the first attack was completed, the mechanical female voice sounded across the bridge again: "...energy form conversion...Galaxy main gun attacks for the second time..."
"...The third attack of the Galaxy main gun..."
"...The fourth attack of the Galaxy main gun..."
The huge ray of light cuts vertically and horizontally in the enemy's fleet, sometimes it cuts an S, and sometimes it cuts a B...
Until all the energy pipes of the Galaxy main gun were seriously overloaded - this strategic-level weapon is used to fire continuously like a machine gun. It's a shame that we installed a second buffer system on it in advance.
After our attack began, the Protos fleet, which fell into a brief chaos because all one thousand warships were sucked up and crashed in twenty seconds, also quickly organized an effective counterattack. However, such a counterattack was difficult for us to see.
Lai is actually a little weak, perhaps because he is used to bullying humans in this sector with his powerful technology. When facing the unfamiliar army of the Xiling Empire, suffering such a heavy loss for the first time made the opponent hesitate a little in attacking, but
This moment of hesitation allowed our assault ships and gravity trap effect ships to successfully block the entire battlefield through space jumps, completely preventing the opponent from using their best space teleportation to escape - although I am not convinced about their space technology.
To what extent has it been achieved?
The counterattack firepower from the Tal'darim fleet finally landed on the Imperial fleet. At first, it was just some unwarranted exploratory attacks. It was obvious that they were dissatisfied with the scene where the energy skimmer sucked up a thousand warships.
There was lingering fear in their hearts, fearing that they would become the next victims of such a terrible weapon, but they soon discovered that the vicious weapon was no longer effective.
After all, it is an experimental product. It can absorb such a huge amount of energy at once, and then it must all be concentrated on the main gun of the mothership through void conduction. It is inevitable that it needs to be cooled.
"The shield strength of the third formation is decreasing...the space jump...the formation adjustment is completed...the mothership is fully firing..."
The electronically synthesized mechanical female voice reported the battle situation slowly. Although the attacks of these Protos warships can cause certain damage to the imperial fleet, unless they can use human sea tactics to surround us, with such firepower, they can
It would be a miracle to knock off our shields - in space bombardment, the Imperial Fleet has one of the most troublesome tactics, which is the "jump maneuver". Every unit of the entire Imperial Fleet, even the person responsible for changing the engine filter
The automatic robots of the Internet are all capable of space jumping. On an interstellar battlefield, our entire fleet can use space jumping to instantly change the entire formation. Troops that are attacked by concentrated enemy firepower can move within a millisecond.
We can then swap positions with the intact units in the rear. We are always using our warships in full strength to engage the enemy - and this is also based on the premise that our warships are far more powerful than our opponents.
Bright laser beams intersect in the cosmic space, and each flash means a burst of energy that is enough to kill countless statements. The imperial fleet formed a huge joint shield, blocking most of the enemy's attacks outside the shield, except for
Aside from a few fragile drones and cannon fodder units manned by battle golems that were destroyed while blocking the enemy's deadliest attacks, our losses were almost negligible, while Protos's warships were drained by their plasma shields.
After that, massive battle losses began.
In fact, I was surprised that their plasma shields were able to withstand the first salvo of the Imperial fleet.
"What are their aircraft carriers doing?"
Just as we were teasing... ahem, facing the enemy, Lilina suddenly reminded me. At this moment, I suddenly realized that the three Protos aircraft carriers that had not shown any offensive intention from the beginning of the battle were too powerful.
This is suspicious - are they calmly watching their own fleet set off fireworks?
"Those haloes just appeared," Qian Qian frowned and pointed at the layers of halo-like objects that suddenly appeared under the enemy aircraft carrier displayed on the holographic projection. She had not yet released her superpowers and used a unique cold way to do so.
According to the analysis, "They have never attacked. They may be accumulating energy to launch a surprise attack. The Galaxy's main cannon can be fired again in a few minutes. We'd better kill one of their aircraft carriers to make these guys quiet."
However, it seemed that the enemy did not intend to wait for a few more minutes. As the alarm from the mothership's host suddenly sounded, we instantly detected a large-scale abnormality in the gravity of the surrounding space.
The next second, the Eternal-class bow main gun position was surrounded by thousands of small fighters that suddenly appeared.
Protos' aircraft carrier... actually relies on space jump to deploy carrier-based aircraft?!
I didn't expect this at all. This is very different from the "setting information" in my impression. If I had known that the enemy still had this trick, I should have kept a gravity trap effect ship near the Eternal level!
Just when I was surprised, those thousands of fighter jets that used space technology to be sent directly to our main gun position were already covered in squeaking electric sparks, slamming into the "Galaxy" that had just started to recharge!
