The dazzling blue flames flashed, providing sufficient propulsion for the battleship.
The huge fleet sailed in the endless universe, dragging out slender and dazzling bands of light.
"Commander Zhang Shaoyun."
The man with Chinese characters on the screen said seriously: "The current situation does not require any further explanation. You should be aware of the responsibilities you bear."
"Yes, Chief."
A middle-aged man in his thirties suddenly raised his head and saluted, and replied sonorously: "In this expedition, we can only win, not lose."
The man with the Chinese character face nodded with satisfaction and sighed: "The dawn is right in front of us, and the efforts of our ancestors will be realized soon. We must not... delay at the last moment."
"yes."
Zhang Shaoyun put down his saluting hand and watched silently as the screen turned off.
Regarding the increasingly fierce public opinion on the earth, on the one hand, the officials mainly delay and appease, on the other hand, they step up the dispatch of regular troops.
Because those in power know very well that the reason why public opinion is so violent is largely due to fear.
The wandering journey of the earth has been too long, and the mental pressure of the people has reached the limit.
Now that the Source Realm is close at hand and hope is right in front of us, no one on earth can bear the consequences of failure...
The senior management could still handle Wang Jinlan's failure. If Zhang Shaoyun fails again this time, then...
Therefore, Zhang Shaoyun must win this time, and he can only win.
They have seen Heavenly Court's strength with their own eyes*, and of course they will not target Heavenly Court again. They have to choose a target with less risk to ensure a safe victory.
By analyzing the intelligence and clues in hand, the federal leaders finally chose a place that "contains huge profits and has no enemies."
——Qilin Ancestral Land!
The so-called huge profits do not refer to the Qilin Ancestral Land itself, but the wreckage of an expeditionary fleet that fell there...
The earth's own materials are too fragile. They must recycle these wreckage and rebuild them into battleships to compete head-on with the heavens.
As for there being no enemies, that would be easier to understand.
Because the battle report sent by the expeditionary force that year clearly mentioned that the Qilin ancestral land and the raiding fleet perished together.
However, due to the emergency situation at the time, the expeditionary force did not recover the wreckage of the battleship.
In other words, there is no danger in the Qilin Ancestral Land.
The federal leaders only need to fabricate some enemies and create some real-time battle clips.
Then wait for Zhang Shaoyun and others to come back with a large amount of loot and spread the news of the great victory, which will surely calm the panic in the hearts of the people.
Sizzling…….
A virtual screen popped up: "Commander, we have arrived at the preset target point, requesting firing instructions."
"Fire cannons, launch dysprosium poison, and break through the isolation barrier."
Zhang Shaoyun took a deep breath and calmly issued the order: "Frigates, cruisers... form an offensive formation to avoid accidents."
Buzz….
The front armor of the main ship split, and a honeycomb plate-shaped metal barrel was pushed out.
As the red light flashed, streaks of red light like meteors suddenly shot out from the barrel.
Boom, boom…….
The stream of light struck the gray and extremely chaotic fog, as if a chemical reaction had occurred, it quickly decomposed and melted into it...
The fog seemed to have been dissolved, and it was thin enough to be seen by the naked eye, revealing a hazy and fuzzy, unclear scene of ruins and desolation.
Not long after, when the red light eliminated most of the fog and the scene became much clearer, a beam of light suddenly erupted from the rear end of the battleship, pushing the huge hull in.
Creak, creak….
There were bursts of tooth-grinding sounds, and the defensive cover on the surface of the battleship flashed continuously.
As the friction time increased, the temperature increased rapidly, and the armor on the surface of the battleship turned faintly red, exuding a hot atmosphere.
It wasn't until the fleet broke through the fog and completely entered this desolate and silent little world that the defensive shield gradually returned to stability.
"hiss……"
Even though they were mentally prepared, everyone was still shocked by the sight before them.
Pieces of fragmented land are floating, and the remains of large and small warships can be seen everywhere, giving people an unspeakable sense of the end of the world.
Beep beep beep!!!
Suddenly, a frigate sent a distress signal: "Report to the main ship, the power of the Condor 705 frigate has been damaged, and no enemy has been detected."
"Power damaged?"
Zhang Shaoyun's face changed slightly. He immediately wanted to determine whether it was an external attack from the perspective of other warships.
However, before he could issue the order, the signal from Vulture 705 came again.
"Report to the main ship, report to the main ship..."
"The anti-gravity device of the Vulture 705 frigate was damaged, and the external armor was attacked by an unknown entity and suffered serious scratches..."
"The floating maintenance robot lost contact for no reason as soon as it left the hull, and the image display disappeared for no reason... The specific reason cannot be detected for the time being."
"The bottom armor was penetrated, the ammunition depot was affected, the hull was unstable, and the imbalance system appeared..."
"Monster, what kind of monster...ahhhh..."
Zhang Shaoyun watched helplessly as the frigate's command module shook violently as shown on the virtual screen.
A rickety and weird monster let out a sharp roar, appeared in the command cabin without warning, and slaughtered everyone crazily.
Like a giant's wail*, the huge frigate let out a heavy groan and broke into several sections, with a large number of parts shooting out.
The heavy hull rolled, falling down with billowing smoke, and smashed a mountain peak with unabated force, turning into an eye-catching cloud of fire.
"This this……"
Zhang Shaoyun's forehead was covered with cold sweat at some point, and his breathing became rapid and heavy: "Level 1 alert to prevent unknown enemy attacks..."
However, before he could finish speaking, a dozen virtual screens suddenly popped up in front of him.
"Zizi... suffered from unknown interference, and something went wrong in the gravity system..."
"While turning around, it seemed that it hit something, and the hull was torn across a large area..."
"We seemed to have hit something. The bow of the ship was cut in half by an invisible attack...an emergency..."
"Monster, what kind of monster is this..."
"Da da da……"
All kinds of information poured into Zhang Shaoyun's ears like a tide.
There were sounds on top of each other, and he couldn't hear the content at all. He only knew that the fleet was suddenly attacked, and he didn't know who the enemy was...
The deputy next to him suddenly reminded: "Commander, unknown fluctuations have been detected ahead."
Zhang Shaoyun covered his head and asked subconsciously: "What kind of fluctuation?"
"Spatial fluctuations."
The deputy growled through gritted teeth: "Damn it, I finally know why the expeditionary force didn't recover the wreckage here."
"This place is full of space cracks and invisible traps. For battleships, this place is simply a minefield."
Zhang Shaoyun was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, but now he could only grit his teeth and ask: "Can you capture the frequency of space fluctuations and reveal it through vibration or other methods?"
"cannot!"
The deputy shook his head bitterly: "The fluctuation frequencies of these space cracks are different. The larger the cracks are, the more obvious the fluctuations will be, and vice versa."
"But no matter how small the crack in space is, once the warship hits it, it will inevitably suffer irreparable damage, and..."
Zhang Shaoyun grabbed his collar, veins bulging in his hands: "And what? Why are you hesitant? Tell me!!"
The deputy pointed to a screen not far away and said in a trembling voice: "And... the main ship also hit a crack, and the propeller was cut..."
