Nodding thoughtfully, Cassati finally understood Talos's thoughts. After a moment of silence, he took two steps back and forth and whispered:
"A lot of people will die..."
Talos looked at him helplessly.
"You've already been to the Istvan Slaughterhouse, why are you becoming so merciful now?"
"It's just a bit of a sigh, but the empire has been like this for ten thousand years..."
At this moment, the command vehicle suddenly shook. The two of them were immediately alert, and then pulled up the baffle of the observation window. They saw a pile of burning debris on the ground covered with white snow on the left front of the rhinoceros.
It looked like a Valkyrie, and at the same time, other debris continued to fall from the sky.
"Commander, when encountering enemy air power interception, the escort formation may not be able to support it. Do you need to wait for an opportunity to hide?"
Hearing the voice coming from the loudspeaker, Talos replied without thinking:
"It's useless to hide if you're targeted. Speed up and rush to the Polar Fortress. It shouldn't be far away."
But Talos didn't know that the three Doomsday Scythes had already set their sights on the Rhino command vehicle. Just as they were about to destroy it with a precise dive, suddenly there was a thunderous roar from the sky, and a lightning formation roared towards them.
Come, 12 fighter jets pounce on the opponent desperately, forcing the opponent to change direction and come to attack.
When Rhino finally crossed the final distance and entered the Polar Fortress, Talos walked out of the command vehicle and saw the wreckage of the last Lightning fighter jet falling from the sky. Their sacrifice not only brought Talos' safety, but also injured him.
One Doomsday Scythe was destroyed, and the remaining two Doomsday Scythes had no choice but to leave in frustration when faced with the surging anti-aircraft firepower and layers of void shields.
The Polar Fortress, as its name suggests, is a military fortress near the North Pole of the planet. It is built on a cliff near the sea. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The endless frozen sea is its best protection. At the same time, it relies on the thick ice and
The rock mass can also withstand bombardment from orbit. This fortress is also the most important military base in the Amara system.
It was one of the military fortresses and was doubled in size within a few months. Eight sets of large void shield generators were added, as well as more than 40,000 sets of large and small defensive weapons. More than two million troops were stationed.
In addition to the elite Chapter Auxiliary Army, it also has a large communications array covering the entire planet, which is regarded as the real core of Amalur's defense.
The tallest communication spire in the Polar Fortress is 500 meters high. It is in the shape of a staircase as a whole, with a semicircular outline. One side is embedded in the mountain, and the other side is protected by three protective walls, from outside to inside, from high to high.
To the lowest level, the outermost protective wall is fifty meters high.
The total length exceeds 10 kilometers. It is made of alloy and solid concrete, and is equipped with a large number of automatic turrets and monitors. The area between the outer wall and the middle retaining wall is the turret area, and a large number of defenses ranging in height from 50 to 100 meters have been built.
turret,
Everything from cannons to automatic cannons to anti-aircraft guns are available, and there are complex tracks that can transport troops to any area of the outer wall. The height of the middle guard wall reaches 70 meters, but due to the height difference of the mountain, it is actually higher than the first line.
The protective wall is a hundred meters high, and it protects
It protects the main garrison area and heavy turrets, and also has passages leading to the interior of the mountain. The inner protective wall is entirely made of alloy. It protects the core area of the fortress, including the command center and large void shield generators and communicators.
and other facilities.
Such a powerful fortress should make any defender feel at ease, but in fact everyone is uneasy because the enemy's offensive is so fast and violent that it has exceeded their understanding of war.
Talos raised his head and stared at the sky. The Arctic sky was very clear, and there were no ominous dark clouds. Only green lightning could be seen occasionally.
There was no orbital bombardment here, which meant that they succeeded for the first time - hiding from the invaders.
Now their fleets should have left orbit to deal with the human fleet in the void, but with their mysterious teleportation technology, since they can quietly invite the governor as a guest, it means that even if the ships are not in orbit, it will not affect their launch.
troops.
This is a good thing, for the whole plan.
But this situation changed with the arrival of Talos.
The Necron commander obviously noticed him, and the Doomsday Scythe, who was following him all the way, quickly sent the message to the Crowned General, and Talos received the message before he even stood up at the command post.
"Commander! Abnormal energy signals were detected in the ice sea two hundred and fifty kilometers away!"
Talos put down the data tablet, frowned and looked at the battlefield hologram, noticing a red halo spreading on the ice peak sea just east of the fortress.
"Is this coming? Send me the order, all long-range artillery fire, immediately cover the area and shoot!"
Twenty seconds after the order was transmitted, the twenty-eight giant battle cannons installed above the fortress began to fire. Each of these fortress cannons had the power of a small naval gun. Their shooting created a terrifying small earthquake, which destroyed
The thick ice cracked and disintegrated.
"A new energy signal was discovered! At a location of 150 kilometers!"
"So fast?"
Talos looked at the hologram in confusion and suddenly understood something.
"False signal! Good guys, these bastards are also up to their tricks. The real direction of their attack is not here! Strengthen scanning, especially to the south!"
Soon, the scan results confirmed his suspicion.
"Report! A large number of enemies were found at the 7 o'clock direction of the fortress!"
Talos came to the screen of the large optical scanner and looked at the picture coming from inside. A huge legion was approaching along the only land passage of the fortress. They had a huge and neat infantry phalanx, as well as various vehicles.
Tools include ghostly arks, tomb blade motorcycles, and various structures, such as giant tomb spiders and several towering black stone pyramids.
But none of this surprised Talos. What really surprised him was the multi-legged behemoth looming in the wind and snow.
"Here comes something new..."
They have an upright disk-shaped body, with a pair of huge curved claws on their forelimbs, and four smaller hind limbs behind them. They look like some kind of deformed reptile, but the terrifying-looking claws on both sides of its body
Alien cannons reveal their true identity.
A kind of Necron siege weapon that humans have never encountered before, and there are three of them.
Kassati also leaned his head, and after seeing this thing, he said in surprise:
"Is this their Titan?"
"The Titan shouldn't be that big. Judging from the body size comparison, it should be the size of a large knight."
At this time, the fortress's artillery roared again, this time adjusting its direction. The huge cannonballs set off a storm of destruction. The Necrons' infantry phalanx was completely wiped out and turned into flying metal fragments.
