After experiencing "luck" for several days, the intelligent races in the Koprulu sector finally encountered their first tragedy.
Always using its sharp teeth to intimidate the blind intruders, the Empire seemed to have finally lost its patience. It raised its sharp teeth and claws and tore a military planet full of Protos warriors into pieces.
It was still broadcast to the entire star region according to the precise and cruel numbers on the timetable, with millisecond accuracy, but this time some thoughtful people who were still awake discovered the huge difference between this broadcast and every previous one.
, this difference made them feel confused at first, and then panicked.
A journalist from the **Federation recorded the scene at that time: It was like an atmosphere on the gallows. The ruler of the empire stood on a high commanding platform and announced this incident to every information port in the entire sector.
The destruction list, behind the ruler of the empire, everyone is looking in the direction opposite the screen, casting a gentle expression on the natives of Koprulu - that is what the priest on the gallows showed when facing the condemned prisoners.
The last expression.
"No. 74, Tedaclan, will be destroyed in thirty minutes."
It was the largest fortress planet built by the Tal'darim in the eastern part of the empire's occupied zone. The entire planet's gray-blue ground was covered with their troops. There were as many as one hundred thousand Tal'darim fleets stationed there: all of them were
Heavy warships, including aircraft carriers, were already the largest fleet that Tal'darim could muster after such a long period of high battle damage. There were no Mother Ships: their only few Mother Ships had now been destroyed.
The Spirit Empire was regarded as a trophy (of course, I didn’t dare to let the Protos know that their racial monument has almost become the playground of the little princess Xiling, otherwise even the Protos of Shakuras would fight me
), and their ground troops were almost packed into all corners of the planet. The eyes of the fanatics and stalkers flashing in the darkness stared at every inch of the night sky. The huge colossus and various mechanical guards were on Tedak.
Wandering around in the mountains and ravines of Lanxing, such a large-scale defense force was almost considered invincible before the emergence of the Xiling Empire. Tal'darim would also proudly claim: This is the strongest line of defense in the universe.
! Even a billion Zerg can’t even think of breaking through here!
But now, when Tedaclan appears in the death plan, what permeates the planet is not the courage of confidence, but the desolation of fighting to the death in the face of doomsday.
The so-called interception war has long been proven to be impossible to succeed. The power of each star battleship is definitely beyond the capabilities of conventional spaceships. Even the Xiling escort fleet hidden under their crust is enough to sweep across any size of oncoming force.
The only most effective counterattack occurred in the melee two days ago. Tal'darim used human sea tactics and suicide attacks to successfully delay the navigation of a planetary battleship, delaying its destruction by about three minutes.
—This is all the results.
Only by relying on a fixed planet base and continuously using powerful shields and suicide ships to consume or deflect that terrifying light can there be a glimmer of hope: This is the conclusion reached by Tadarim and human scientists after joint research.
, of course, the basis of this theory is that the energy used by the Xiling army has a storage limit. If the Xiling people can really break the law of energy conservation and make the energy of the star warship unlimited...
All that is left in the Nakpuru sector is prayer - this is what the Koprulu natives, who have been convinced by the "revelation", believe that the Xiling Empire is here to destroy the entire universe, think so.
"Starship No. 7 is approaching the target, the escort formation is deployed, and the energy core is activated at any time," the broadcast on the bridge echoed softly, making it impossible for people to associate it with the end of the world, and the host personality of the Imperial Admiral
It was Lilina's idea to set it up in such a soft Jiangnan girl style. Her reason was that it could better inject a sense of humanity into the iron-blooded Xiling Empire, but listening to such a soft voice announcing the destruction of a planet and countless lives
command, but I could only feel a distortion caused by the strong contrast, "Tedaclan has been locked, the enemy fleet has not actively intercepted it, and the destruction will begin in five minutes."
"Well, I kind of understand why the announcements on battleships are so dull," Lilina scratched her hair in embarrassment, "This sound sounds really weird, I'd better change it back."
"call……"
On the side, Renault exhaled helplessly, but didn't say much, because a little girl suddenly changed the host settings of the entire Star Alliance flagship on a whim. This kind of thing can only be done by these Xiling apostles who have not escaped.
.
A huge planet battleship equivalent to one and a half times the size of the Earth, "Zero" 7 has come to rest on its predetermined orbit. Before that, it had been traveling at full speed using a coordinate-like engine. This passage was continuous and microscopic in higher dimensions.
The engine that modifies space coordinates to push a huge object to move at high speed regardless of mass and acceleration consumes a lot of energy. Without the ability to use the psionic abyss as the core of the starship, it will take about five minutes for "Zero" 7 to be in place.
To restore the energy supply, during this period of time, the protective firepower of the starship itself is very weak. There are only about 10,000 Xiling heavy frigates that can protect it. This is the only chance to attack a starship fleet, but it seems that Tedaclan
The Star Guardians were unwilling to do this.
When the No. 7 Star Battleship launched its escort formation, and the energy cores that overlapped one hundred and twenty-seven hyperspace nether energy well connection ports were slowly burning, a piece of blue floated on the surface of Tedaclan.
The colorful starlight looks like an eternal galaxy gathering energy, but in fact a large number of Protos people are refining their spiritual energy and then concentrating it on hundreds of huge buildings on the surface of the planet.
The buildings are astonishingly tall, even piercing the thick atmosphere filled with methane and carbon dioxide, stretching out small spheres in low-Earth orbit, which look like insect tentacles. At the roots of these buildings are a large number of
Crystal structures, these alienated crystal towers inject immeasurable "psionic energy" into the tower buildings. The main sources of these psionic energies are the crystal towers built on the surface of the planet and the Protos warships hovering in the planet's atmosphere.
The other part comes from all the Protos "gods" on the entire planet. Such powerful energy causes hundreds of towers built on the surface of the planet to emit dazzling blue-white light. Then, a huge energy field appears in Tedaclan.
Tens of thousands of kilometers outside the star's atmosphere.
"That looks like a mirror."
After analyzing the data sent back by the starship, Tavel quickly judged the principles of these things. Of course, she was not referring to the appearance of the gray energy cloud, but its principles and structure.
"Its surroundings are covered with strong space mirror effects and gravitational disturbances, which are almost the limit of Protosko's skills. The other party seems to be trying their best to avoid the possibility of contact with mass-energy conversion rays. Perhaps they have discovered this very cleverly.
This kind of light has the property of indiscriminately swallowing up any energy and matter, so we plan to use this method to deflect it before it comes into contact - in theory."
"Is this approach effective?" Naturally, I couldn't understand a lot of professional terms - although Tavel had tried his best to omit many of the nouns for me...
"If they have enough energy, they may be able to deflect the first irradiation, but the second irradiation cannot be deflected."
"Then there's no need for rays," Sandora ordered coldly, "Conventional weapons will do, whatever method you use, I require Tedaclan to be completely destroyed in the first attack of the Imperial Army, we don't need
Fight back.”
"Everything will go as you wish."
Sivis, who was standing by, bowed respectfully, and then began to choose the weapon Sandora requested.
Perhaps after this sector calms down, the soldiers who have participated in this strange war will suddenly realize how boring the resistance was at first. No matter how much you pay, even if you can really stop the Tadaklan planet in the end.
Destroying or even destroying a planet battleship is meaningless to the direction of the entire war. The Emperor has hundreds of such planet battleships in his hands, and the latter is just an expeditionary force. No one can imagine the Xiling Empire's
How strong should the complete strength be? The damage caused to the Xiling Empire by using the power of all races in the entire Koprulu sector will not be greater than unscrewing two bolts in a battlecruiser formation, but in
At this moment, Tal'darim's defenders were still resisting in vain, trying to use the most powerful space refractor they had assembled to deflect the deadly decomposition ray, as if this could turn the tide of the battle - said
To be honest, at this point, Tal'darim's resistance has nothing to do with victory for them, but is just a manifestation of spirit. Apart from proving the courage of these fanatics, it has no meaning at all.
The huge battleship - perhaps it can no longer be called a battleship. The huge planet transformed into a weapon is facing the gray-blue planet Tedaklan in the distance. From a macro perspective, the distance between them may be very close, or even as if
Two fighters fighting in close quarters usually stand opposite each other, but in fact the distance between the two is nearly a million kilometers. The huge star battleship and the heavily guarded Tedaclan are no bigger than a bean in the eyes of the other party. There is no such thing here yet.
Reaching the optimal launch distance of mass-to-energy conversion rays, Tal'darim's defense forces are still preparing with all their strength, focusing on the "mirror" that has been strengthened to the point where it cannot be stronger, and doing everything possible to prevent the planet from being destroyed.
That kind of light shines, and the remaining mobile troops are on standby in the planet's low-Earth orbit, preparing the Xiling escort formation to launch a direct strike if the decomposition ray is ineffective.
In fact, the attack on Tedaclan has already begun - the Xiling starship has not activated its own gravity adjustment system. Under the influence of gravity, Tedaclan's orbit is slowly changing, but no one cares about it now.
This point: if the starship attacks, not even a single atom will be left in Tedaclan, and then orbits and the like will be meaningless.
There is still a considerable distance from the optimal range of mass-to-energy conversion rays, but the Xiling planet battleship stopped at that position without moving forward at all. Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the crust of this "spaceship" is being
Slowly cracking open, the huge rift that originally existed quickly penetrated the entire planet's surface like rapidly drying skin. The complex mechanical structure and crystal system underneath shone with a warning red light, gradually growing like the pulsating flesh and blood in the body of a giant beast.
Exposed, the entire starship is slowly opening. The Tal'darim warriors know that this is a precursor to the starship's imminent attack. When its equator opens at an angle of thirty degrees, the dark red core of the earth will...
Wait! It's still open!
When Tal'darim's officer was still curious about why the enemy would activate weapons outside the range, he suddenly discovered this disturbing fact. The Xiling Emperor's planet warship was still slowly opening its "
The "Earth's Crust" did not open thirty degrees, but split into two halves along the equator! This process may seem very slow, but when magnified to the entire planet, it is surprisingly fast. Within a few minutes, the Death Star
It has completely changed into another look: it is completely split from the equatorial part, and the northern and southern hemispheres are evenly divided into four parts. Yes, it is like a watermelon that is cut crosswise from the top and then cut across the middle. The Star Battleship is divided into four parts.
The eight parts that were not very regular were separated far away from each other, and the dark red core was suspended in the dark space out of thin air, as if a giant had cut open his chest and took out his heart.
From the human eye's perspective, the unsettling red light was still flashing regularly inside the eight fragments of the starship, completely ruling out the possibility that the starship would automatically disintegrate due to accidents - in fact, this possibility was just "unexpected"
It's just something the "firm" uses to comfort itself.
"Attack! Attack all! All units, attack that core at full speed! Quick! Quick, quick, quick, quick! Before it attacks!!"
Tal'darim's commander yelled crazily in the command channel, but it was already too late.
The star of Tedaclan began to tremble, and the violent earthquakes that spread to the whole world were just the beginning. In space, the gray-blue mineral planet could be seen with the naked eye slowly bulging toward the Xiling starship, just like that
There is a bubble below that is expanding, and then some white mist begins to emerge from this expansion area. This is a precursor to the underground magma that is about to erupt. And hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, the core of "Zero" 7 is still
It was emitting a dim red light, watching the changes of the planet like a calm eye.
Tal'darim has understood what this attack is. In fact, this attack is more primitive than the mysterious light that can delete the entire planet from the material level. Even humans can relate to it: gravity occurs.
A gravity generator capable of tearing apart a planet.
But it wasn't over yet. The attacking star warship didn't seem to be satisfied with such boring watching. It trembled slightly, and then began to move slowly - not in the direction of Tedaclan, but to the side, but
Soon, it was proven that this sideways movement had a curvature, which was part of an arc centered on Taidalan. This arc became apparent in space at an ever-increasing speed, and was being used by gravitational weapons.
The star battleship that hanged Tedaclan completely ignored its own mass and inertia, and completed this amazing whirlwind dance in one minute with the graceful posture of a ballerina, crossing a perfect semicircle, and then stopped suddenly.
.
The noose of gravity instantly changed its direction. The disintegrating Tedaclan and its defense forces that had not yet had time to set off were pulled under the influence of gravity and instantly separated from their original orbit.
Just like swinging a small iron ball with a rope, Tedaclan was strangled by the throat and then thrown in the other direction - its sun!
Nearly a hundred billion pairs of eyes in the Koprulu sector witnessed this tragic scene. The warships of the Xiling Empire demonstrated in the most primitive and brutal way how far the power gap can reach. A planet was forcibly dragged away from itself by a gravitational hinge.
orbit, and then was thrown into the sun below it like a piece of garbage!
Of course, before that, Tedaclan had completely disintegrated in the gravitational turbulence. Its star structure fell apart, and the exploded crust and mantle shattered its original guard fleet. The life on it had already existed as soon as the planet changed its orbit.
All died in an instant, and in the end, only a piece of the planet whose shape could barely be seen fell towards the sun. And due to the distance, this falling process may last for a month, and the main structure of Tedaclan will be in contact with the corona.
It had been vaporized before in its orbit around the sun - for a planet, this is already a quite heroic way to die.
The entire attack was over. It took 29 minutes and 38 seconds before the doomsday notice was issued, and the attack took only 5 minutes. The Star Battleship used 5 minutes and a hammer throw to notify the mice who resisted the empire: the cat was tired of playing.
When the entire sector was affected by this extremely brutal "battle" (mainly because the first planet full of life that died this time, and before, the planets that were destroyed were basically mineral planets that few people knew about)
While falling into temporary silence, Zeratul brought us a piece of news.
Shakuras's scouts discovered an ancient "holy place" in a hidden space, where the source of revelation lies.
All I can say is that Tal'darim is so unlucky. They may be one day away from stopping the war... Of course, maybe even if the apocalypse is eliminated, they will still choose to fight against the Empire. Even Zeratul doesn't believe this.
Doubtful.
The Dark Templar society of Shakuras knew about what happened on Tidraklan at the first time, but they only expressed a slight regret about it. From this point on, I once again felt that Protos was a
The race's religious intolerance and their cruelty towards disbelievers. Such a race that easily falls into extremes and stops moving forward. I really don't know whether they are superior or... compared to humans.
Forget it, why am I worrying about those religious fanatics?
"But I really didn't expect that you would destroy a planet in this way - throwing it into the sun. This may be the most barbaric way to declare your power."
On the way to the "Holy Land" in Zeratul's words aboard the Imperial Admiral, the Queen of Blades, who had gained restricted freedom, said to me on the bridge.
"I smell a conspiracy, a conspiracy that involves the entire sector and you, the so-called strongest race," the Queen of Blades always had an unpredictable expression on her face, like a smile, "You...
Oh my God!"
Me: "...Little Bubble, I told you, you can't bite Kerrigan's bone wings..."
