After a fierce battle, Harlan's army finally began to turn into a disadvantage. They obviously switched from offense to defense, and began to abandon various special operations and auxiliary ships that were of no use in this battle, and used their limited shields to
Resources are concentrated on the main force.
I admit that this battle was a bit unexpected: we did not expect that the Harlan Army would suddenly wake up from that sleepwalking state, and we did not expect that the Royal Fleet of the Fallen Apostles and the King's Lander Battle Group, which were fighting with all their strength, would have twice the number of troops as expected.
The above combat power, our underestimation of the enemy to a certain extent, and the opponent's astonishing combat power made this battle that should not have any variables even more difficult. The elite troops organized by Sivis and the remnants of Haran actually fought hard for such a long time. Of course,
, no one can deny the fighting will of the emperor's soldiers and the combat effectiveness of the army we brought, but there is also a trump card on the opposite side: the fallen emperor's royal fleet plus a dozen King's Lander battle groups (a King's Lander battleship means
A core mothership plus tens of thousands of escort ships), under normal circumstances, this is definitely the trump card among trump cards, especially the latter, which is no less than the combat effectiveness of three legions.
This time the opponent still performed exceptionally well...
However, after a fierce battle, coupled with the brave attacks of the Hessian tribesmen who were almost intruders, Harlan's incomplete army was almost crippled by us. Their main force has not suffered fatal attrition yet, so this
It's because Harlan has an excellent commander: the fallen apostle general named Zadom is obviously very good. His tactics are cautious and bold, adaptable and without losing details. Even a layman like me can notice the fallen apostle's characteristics.
All spaceships are cooperating in combat in a very precise manner, sharing almost all the damage from the Emperor's gun equally. Except for a small number of shield ships that actively sacrificed themselves and were destroyed in a short time when facing the superior firepower of the Emperor's gun, the other spaceships are almost the same.
They are all controlled to the critical line of being able to continue fighting. Sandora frankly said that this is the kind of enemy she is least willing to face: the tactics are bold enough, and the stubbornness is abnormal, even in the face of a huge disadvantage, she can still defeat herself.
The limited army at hand persisted until the last moment. Zadom is the kind of guy who can squeeze out the last bit of combat power and let his fleet continue to fight even on the verge of death. Last time he used cunning tactics to "kill" Sandor
Pulled once. This time he used steady and changeable command to persist for such a long time in the face of the superior Emperor.
If possible, this guy must be captured alive - this is the tacit consensus reached by Sandora and I.
Now, the battle will be over soon. To be fair, if the current battle rhythm continues, Zadom's powerful command ability will indeed allow Harlan's fleet to persist for a long time. But when the Seventh Fleet emerges from hiding
When exposed, he will find that he made a mistake due to information asymmetry: he lowered the shield threshold of his fleet too low, and now those spaceships have become undefended, and their heavy
Charged armor is nothing in front of the Glow Circle.
The Imperial Fleet quickly adjusted its formation through a short jump, leaving a large blank area in the middle of the fleet. Hundreds of water ripple-like "doors" slowly opened. Some of them had different styles from all the spaceships on the battlefield.
The same "thing" slowly emerged from inside:
Huge rings with a diameter of tens of kilometers, like being cast by light, first appeared in space. These rings were overflowing with brilliance. They were brilliant and solemn when they slowly emerged from the dark space. Looking at them even gave people a sense of wonder.
The illusion that the door to heaven is slowly opening: I believe that if you find a primitive planet and send a glow ring around it twice, the religious system of this planet can basically be fixed: this thing is definitely better than
The best way to pretend to be God is to hang a light bulb behind your head. And around the glow ring, there are the throne of judgment and subordinate auxiliaries and frigates, which are responsible for providing additional firepower for the glow ring.
And the mission of escort. Although the Terror Mirror System is powerful, it takes up a large amount of mana quota, which makes the Glow Circle somewhat stretched in terms of conventional attack power. Therefore, it must cooperate with other ships to fight, and relies on the battle group.
, the glowing circle is comparable to the eternal level.
This is the inevitable shortcoming of motherships, or super-heavy core battleships (Sandora likes to classify them this way).
Harlan's response speed was not unsatisfactory. I believe the appearance of the Seventh Fleet shocked them, but they did not panic at all. Instead, they immediately piled all their firepower on the Imperial Army's main formation, trying to reduce the brightness as much as possible.
The number of rings of light, the opposing commander did not withdraw those ships whose shields had dropped below the bottom line, because they knew it was too late to do so at this time: when the ring of light appeared on the battlefield, it was already
Create a symbolic link to all enemy ships. As long as your figure has appeared in the mirror area in the center of the ring, no matter how you escape afterwards, it will be useless. Zadom and Harlan should be familiar with this, so they want those
The battleship that was about to be destroyed fired the last wave of firepower. For this goal, they even ignored the Hessians' quagmire offensive for a while.
However, they were already a little helpless when they broke out again. The Seventh Fleet not only had strong offensive capabilities, but also had strange defensive capabilities: the Throne of Judgment instantly entered a state of full absorption, and the surfaces of these tilted cubes absorbed large amounts of water like black holes.
Some of the incoming firepower and the rest of the attack barely touched the emperor's joint shield. After this brief moment of exchange of fire, ripples of energy began to appear on the surface of the glow ring, and a large number of energy arrays appeared around them.
It began to carry out conventional fire strikes on the enemy. At the same time, the mirror area on the inner edge of the ring gradually brightened, reflecting the distant starry sky. In an "imaging" method that was completely inconsistent with photometry, each glowing ring reflected the enemy's image.
A battleship: No spaceship below the Eternal level can escape this reflection.
After a delay of one second, these images are compressed into a small dot, and the corresponding enemy entity becomes a small spark with a radius of no more than one centimeter in space: no firefight process is required, and at the target
After losing the psionic shield, no matter how thick the armor is, it has no defense at all. The ultimate attack of the glow circle transcends the material layer.
After just a few seconds, the next attack will be ready.
The current main target of the Glow Ring is the medium-sized battleships of the Expedition-class and Frontier-class. In large-scale legion melees, the Expedition-class "Corona" main gun often bears more than half of the firepower output. The Eternal-class Galaxy main gun
Although powerful, in fact due to quantity limitations, the Galaxy is only used to destroy the enemy's strongest front. The protagonists who have been active for the longest time in the melee are still medium-sized gunboats with sufficient quantities and quick reactions, and the Glow Ring can just do that.
Destroy gunboats of this level in batches. As for destroying the Frontier class, it is easier to understand: as long as the shield ships are destroyed, the enemy's defense will be ineffective.
A large number of enemy warships began to be wiped out by the mirror image of the glow circle. Although their joint shields were still there. However, the joint shield did not have "ownership" in a symbolic sense, which meant that it did not belong to any single ship.
The ship, this conceptual deviation caused the joint shield to have no effect on the mirror system: so the battle situation instantly began to tilt violently in the favor of the emperor. The glow ring was sparkling, and there were two flashes between each mirror image.
More than a hundred enemy ships were defeated. At the same time, our other warships began to focus on weakening the enemy's shields - because the terror mirror system can only be effective against unshielded targets.
The overall situation is like this: the friendly forces are responsible for crippling the enemy's spaceships, and then the glow circle mirrors them and kills them instantly.
"This is a human-headed dog," Bubble suddenly muttered on the ship's broadcast. "He grabs heads to collect minions and doesn't participate in team battles, but for the sake of his own people...ah, am I turning on the broadcast?
"
Everyone: "..."
Sandora coughed twice to cover up the collective embarrassment caused by the bubble. With a happy light on her face, she ordered Sivis: "Adjust the fire link. Prepare for the final wave of general attack, and also notify the Hessian tribe.
Let them retreat, Harlan's final counterattack may be unprecedentedly crazy, just let the emperor deal with it alone."
There is a relaxed atmosphere in the command hall, and this battle seems to be over. As a group of defeated soldiers, Harlan and his army have made people look at them with admiration. But I don’t think the other side has the possibility of making a comeback now. Sister-in-law
Standing up, she took a few deep breaths to prepare for action: she had become more and more skillful in using her abilities to capture the enemy, because the accumulation of probability was the only thing that could prevent the Xiling Apostle from self-destructing in this situation.
.My sister has been recuperating her energy since just now. She has a very heavy task: to find a way to capture Zadom alive, and if possible, even consider capturing Harlan alive.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sivis gave Sandora a military salute on the command seat, and then turned to the command terminal in front of her. But when the general attack order was about to be issued, a piercing siren suddenly sounded through the battleship, and everyone was stunned.
Pao Zai called the police loudly on the radio: "Attention! There are signs of a space door opening in the center of the enemy's position! A space door appears in the center of the enemy's position! Confirm the high-energy reaction! Confirm the high-energy reaction!"
"What is that?!" Everyone was stunned by this sudden situation. Sandora was the first to react. She stared at the holographic image in front of her, which showed the core of the fallen apostle army.
: An open area with a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers. Originally, the flagship was supposed to be there, but now there is nothing there. There is only a huge twisted vortex that is rapidly expanding, and an arc slowly emerges from the twisted vortex.
The arc surface is covered with dark red rifts with cracks like spider webs. In the rift valley, blood-red light surges. Like a beast trying desperately to break free, based on the curvature of the arc surface, the assistant host quickly calculates its
It would probably be about the same size as the Earth: if it were exactly spherical.
"Star battleship?" Qian Qian thought for a while, "Harlan also hid a star battleship, and he didn't take it out until now?"
"...The situation is even worse. I feel that the world is being distorted. It is not just a star warship..." Sandora frowned, "It distorts the definition of the world to present itself. It is a glory."
Starship!”
Everyone was quiet for a moment. Bingtis was lying on his seat just now, moaning and crying for care as a wounded person. At this time, he also closed his mouth and muttered for a long time: "...You Xiling apostles are really stupid.
They are good at creating surprises from top to bottom.”
The black planet is still squeezed out of the space gate bit by bit. Its speed seems slow but is actually fast. Its size is determined to be approximately between Mars and the Earth. The dark red canyons on the surface are actually variations.
Psionic energy circuit. This is a physical planet with an outer shell made of scorching black crystal plates and metal. But like most glory starships, the material that makes it up will be countless times stronger than in theory - there is no analysis of the structure of this thing.
Meaningful. When this behemoth slowly emerged, I instinctively felt what changes had taken place on the battlefield. Although I couldn't explain it clearly, I was sure that Harlan's special power was spreading. The Hessian tribe's fleet was the first to
Stopping the offensive, they were a little confused about what was happening: Although the Hessian tribe also had a planetary "battleship", the thing in front of them was obviously not the same thing as the big stone ball they made. Viska ran over without saying a word
Next to the communicator: "Who, tell your people to retreat immediately!"
——She didn’t remember other people’s names, but she now remembered that the Hessian tribe was her own people.
Shandora immediately began to search the database for information about Harlan, the emperor of the old empire, especially the attributes of his Glory starship. There are indeed records in this regard, but they are not detailed: "Harlan Croix Levalette
, the glory form is called Levalette's Ring of Return, and the specific nature of the battle is unknown, but it is not a glory starship directly used for combat, nor is it a type specialized in defense. The expansion period of Levalette's Ring of Return is approximately fourteen days.
Up to twenty-seven days, depending on the degree of development..."
Seeing this, Shandora thought for a while: "It can be calculated that Harlan has been preparing for the glory form after coming to this world, but he should still be in a state of 'sleepwalking' at that time, and it is impossible to know that the emperor *
*will come, so..."
"So are we just lucky?" Xiaoxue sighed sadly, "I didn't see anything."
"Things at this level are not so easy to predict. Neither can your mother," I patted Xiaoxue's hair while confirming my status: I can still go out to fight, and the situation will be better if I rest for a while.
Now we have to use top-notch force, and Harlan appears in the form of a Glory starship. If we rush up with regular troops, we will probably suffer heavy losses. Only an equal combat force can win. I suddenly regretted that I just threw my arms and went out to follow
Those King's Landing battle groups are fighting to the death, so I should save some of my energy to deal with this big guy...
"Your Majesty! Conventional firepower has been severely weakened!"
Sivis reported loudly. Of course, the emperor would not just watch the enemy boss fire. When Harlan appeared with such a big body, we had already sent all the heavy firepower over, but the Glory Star
The defensive power of the ship is indeed no joke. Although due to positioning problems, the shield of the Glory Starship is not as difficult as that of the Gospel, but it is also stronger than that of ordinary star battleships. In addition, the fallen apostle protects the return of Levalite at all costs.
Near the ring, the emperor's fierce attack had almost no effect.
"Speaking of which, this is obviously a ball, why is it called the Ring of Return?" Qian Qian suddenly asked a strange question.
I looked at her in surprise, because Qianqian was definitely a weirdo to still bother with other people's names under such circumstances.
But before anyone could answer her question, the Glory Starship used its own power to explain everything to Qian Qian.
The dark starship had completely jumped out of the space gate, and the blood-red energy veins on its surface dimmed in an instant, almost making people mistakenly think that the starship just came out and went out with soy sauce, but the next moment, its
The entire surface burned blazingly, and a blood-like halo of energy spurted out from the cracks on the surface. The planet seemed to have turned into a red dwarf star, and when the blood-colored alienated ghost energy was wandering on the surface of the planet, Levalette
A star ring really appeared around the Ring of Return!
This was a dark red energy halo. It stagnated around the planet for a moment, and then surged instantly. The halo swept across the entire position of the fallen apostles. What happened next made many people think it was a nightmare when they thought about it after the battle:
All enemy ships appear before our eyes again!
Bingtis almost jumped up on the spot: "This grandson reset...his own army?"
"It's not going back in time, there's no sign of the timeline being disrupted," Qian Qian also instantly entered combat mode. She said firmly after detecting the flow of time in the entire space, and then a look of surprise flashed across her face, "Wait a minute.
, that halo is still expanding...it has come into contact with the Hessian fleet, and the Hessian fleet has also been reset!"
"Attention, the halo has touched this formation... Your Majesty! Our fleet has also been reset! The equipment shows that all the information in this space is returning to the state before the battle!" Sivis reported hurriedly, and before she
At the same time as the report was being reported, the halo spreading out from the Ring of Return was still rising sharply, exceeding the speed of light, until it finally stopped hundreds of light years away. When the halo finally ended, everything had returned to normal.
The situation before the battle between the two sides: the destroyed spaceship remained intact, the fallen soldiers rejoined the battle, and the Hessian fleet also returned to the place where they launched the charge.
After a brief stagnation, the war once again swept through space.
Bingtis was stunned for a while, then suddenly transformed into a god form. She suddenly opened her huge black wings, and I found a scorch mark on the edge of her wings: "Damn, why hasn't my injury recovered? Still!
Racist?!"
I bet the injury this guy is talking about is his hair being scorched!
"My physical strength has not recovered." I entered the void form, and a feeling of weakness swept through my body. "That thing must not be able to reset something that is too high on the void ladder... Damn, this is troublesome."
Harlan's power makes the situation instantly complicated: he can reset the battles he has experienced! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, your support is
