11. The Golden Fleet
Under the combined power of the Federation's 137 major star regions, the biggest opponent is still the Burning Legion, the old opponent of 2,000 years ago. Happy; Wen; +
Although occasionally some very capable civilizations cause some trouble for the Federation, but in the burning of the fire of destruction of the rapidly developing Federation fleet, they are either obeyed or enslaved, and the single civilization can not resist the continuous fleet bombardment no matter how much it can fight.
Prince Haramad, a loyal ally of the Federation, admired his own gamble 2000 years ago, risking offending the demons and providing Azeroth with everything they needed when he had just escaped from the quagmire of civilization, and that investment was in exchange for the rapid expansion of the Astral Consortium in 2000, and the merchants pursued profits, so in every place where the Federation Legion appeared, there would be a stronghold of the Astral Consortium.
This is true even in the remote Prukhstar District, and according to the rules within the Consortium, the head of the merchant post can use all the resources at his disposal to help the federal army when necessary, which is almost the best proof of the close connection between Prince Haramad himself and the top of the Federation.
Times have changed, and now it is no longer the conglomerates that prevail, but the federation.
"There are a large number of demons on the border of the star field! They are suspected of starting an invasion war of unimaginable scale!"
In the most prosperous city in the capital of the Pruk Star Zone, an ethereal spirit hurriedly walked into the headquarters of the Astral Consortium in this star zone with the latest battle report in his hand, and the moment the local person in charge received this battle report, the light under the bandage on his body became swaying, which represented the restlessness of the ethereal spirit.
The person in charge held the battle report, walked around the office a few times, and finally made up his mind, fifteen minutes later, a merchant ship that was supposed to leave the border of the Pruk Star Sector suddenly changed course and sailed quickly towards the area where the demon landed, the secret communication channel on this merchant ship was also opened, and a high-powered message quickly spread beyond the quiet starry sky.
"Report! The fleet has received a strange communication request! It is a smuggling starship belonging to the Astral Consortium, and it has passed an identification code containing an unfamiliar space coordinates, as well as a sentence. ”
Field Marshal Kuvel, who served as temporary adjutant of the First Fleet, held the battle report in his hand and reported to Marshal Tulayan, who was sitting in the command chair,
"The smuggling ship said that the coordinates it transmitted were the battlefield of the joint fleet of the three clans in the Pruk Star Region and the demons, but that coordinate was nearly 250 astronomical units different from the coordinates of the Origin Star we originally set!"
Tulayan stretched out his hand to take the very strange battle report, he frowned, and after reading it quickly, he asked,
"So can you get in touch with Huron now?"
"No, we found a strong energy disturbance in that direction, and it was tentatively judged that war had indeed broken out, but this alone could not be used as a credible basis for that coordinate, and if it was a well-prepared trap, it was likely that we would be subjected to a vile ambush when our leap was complete, that is, when we were at our most vulnerable. ”
Marshal Kuville touched his beard and made a cold suggestion,
"So I'm going to send two scout ships with holographic shields to that coordinate first, and if we're sure the information is true, we'll immediately modify the destination, and we only need one jump to get to that place completely. ”
"Well, let's do it!"
Tulayan didn't object, his fingers darting on the hilt of the sword in his hand, "Get all fleets ready for battle, Kuvir, whether that coordinate is accurate or not, the next leap will take us into that brutal battlefield and prepare the warriors for battle!"
"Yes!"
On the other side, the beautiful and elegant Holy Light Devotion Walker no longer has the graceful and luxurious bearing it had before, in fact, the shell of this battleship has been covered with traces of flames and shells, making it look like a scarred warrior, and beside it, the originally huge human fleet has only less than a third left after successfully breaking through, and two-thirds of the military forces in the Pruk Star Sector have been destroyed in the encounter just now.
The Ereda starship also suffered heavy losses, but the worst was the Leviathan, after a difficult escape, only three of the six beautiful wings of this starry sky creature remained, and its huge body was full of pitted battle marks, and as it followed the fleet all the way, the blue blood like a nebula escaped in the starry sky, looking like a storm of energy gathered together.
And now, it's only 30 minutes before the battle begins.
An almost one-sided slaughter, there are too many demonic starships, this is almost a military force that can destroy a star sector in an instant, including the Dark Fire of the Guards of Sargeras, which is the same status as the four fleets, the most powerful military force in the most central ruling area of the Burning Legion, every time it appears, it represents the will of the Dark Titan to descend again.
In fact, in the confrontation with the Dark Fire, even the four fleets, which were extremely powerful, were only evenly divided, and never took even the slightest advantage.
In such an almost overwhelming confrontation of forces, the Pruk fleet did not complain, but the problem now is that the demon's goal is already obvious, after the Holy Light Devout Walker broke through, the Demon Fleet even abandoned those fleets that had lost the ability to resist, and instead pursued the extremely fast flagship, which shows that the purpose of their sudden attack must exist in the Holy Light Devoutist.
What's on this flagship?
Huron hugged the wooden box in his hand tightly, looking at the demon fleet that was chasing after him, densely packed, and spread throughout the entire star field, the sense of mission on his shoulders increased in vain, and after seeing the madness of the demons, he once again had a more real understanding of the value of the box in his hand.
Surely, it must not fall into the hands of demons!
"The Storm Sweeper is out!"
Grace shouted, everyone's eyes fell on the screen in front of them, it was the monitor of the battlefield, they saw a small barely visible black shadow in the starry sky rushed into the dense demon fleet like a violent wind, the cyan light flashed, and a demon's command starship was disconnected from the center, and the stubble of the brush brush was like being slashed by a sharp blade.
Kruk finally stopped at this moment, his claws clutching the ancient and heavy amber greatsword, which looked unusually tall in the flames of the starship's torn explosion, and the cyan storm swirled around his body, gathering like a shield of wind across the starfields.
He shouted the language of the worms, rushed towards the star with a full hunter attitude, and rushed into the center of the two starships at a speed that was too fast to see, and after he jumped, the two starships also exploded from the center in unison, like the butcher of the starship.
The glory of the warrior of 2,000 years ago reappeared in the star field at this moment, and the power and madness of Krrook and the amber heavy sword in his hand made the blood boil for everyone on the Holy Light Devvoker, this kind of fighting as a mortal, but beyond the strength of mortals, placed on any battlefield, enough to change the situation.
But unfortunately, this is the Pruk Star Zone, and what Huron has in his hands is impossible for the demons to let go, and the will of the Dark Titan must be executed!
Kruck slashed 14 starships in a row, but only stopped a very small part of the fleet's attack, and the rest of the fleet, led by 24 commanding battleships painted with burning dark fire, rushed towards the remnants of the breakout at a faster speed.
It's like a shark swimming in the water, which has locked on to the target of the hunt and will not give up easily.
Huron looked at the approaching demon fleet, the dense net had been opened, and as far as the eye could see, there was hardly any direction that was safe.
But the moment he touched the crystal, all the fear and panic in his heart subsided.
As a member of the bloodline aristocracy, everyone knows their fate since they were born, and if they are not very lucky, they will die of old age on the bed, and more than half of them will die on the battlefield.
This is a predetermined fate!
Huron stood up, he reached out and stroked the soul crystal in his hand, he sighed, packed the box into a silver-white metal cabinet, and placed it in front of the heavily armed Colonel Kelman,
"I heard that you were a brilliant Hell Paratrooper Commando Leader before you became a non-commissioned officer, and you don't have a good grasp of the tactics of raiding airborne, right?"
The colonel looked at the box in front of him, and he swallowed,
"Yes, Governor, during the training, I often repeat the training subjects of the paratroopers of hell, but..."
"No but, Major, listen to me!"
Huron interrupted Kelman's words and said solemnly, "Grace and I are destined to be on the list, the demons will not let us go, you know how important this thing is, Colonel, I will give it to you now, there is a batch of reinforced assault armor at the bottom of this ship, and a projection device for the paratroopers of hell, you must guarantee that it will not fall into the hands of demons!
Looking at Huron's bloodshot red eyes, looking at Glis's silent back, Colonel Kelman's fists clenched, but in the end, he looked back at the demon starship on the monitor that had begun to close in all directions, and he gritted his teeth,
"I will protect it with my life and soul... Even if it's death, I'll put it where the devil can't reach it!"
"Good!"
Huron breathed a sigh of relief, and took his command knife from the squire's hand, his eyes slightly closed,
"It's time to accept my fate... This glorious fate has long been predestined. ”
"Bang"
The first shell hit the shell of the Holy Light Devout, and the entire starship swayed violently, the explosion destroyed the energy supply inside the starship, and the people fell to the ground on their backs, and the box containing the crystal was slid to the other side, Major Kelman hurriedly rushed over and grabbed the box in his hand, but at this moment, the suitcase that had not responded began to vibrate.
Immediately after, a silver light shot out of the crack in the box, and Tisharacher, who was carried behind by Gris, began to hum as well.
That voice, that weak voice, came down on everyone's heart with light.
"Children, never lose hope!
"Buzz"
A flash of silver light flashed, and a giant projection appeared above the demon-set devotional lighter, the illusory image of Dick, weaker than ever, but he held the radiant flame ripper in his hand, and the silver and crimson flames ignited the surrounding void in an instant.
His gaze is tough and cold,
"Evil creatures, go back to the darkness! There is no place for you where order is!"
"Boom"
Raising the sword, slashing diagonally, a huge silver blade of light appeared from the top of the indifferent void, slashing down everything that stood in its way, those demon starships didn't even have time to dodge, they were engulfed by the scorching light, after this sword fell, the phantom let out a light sigh, and it dissipated.
Everyone on the Holy Light Devvoker stargazed at the scene in front of them in amazement, in front of them, the demon starship that had closed in all directions was cut off by a fifth out of thin air, and the tight defensive circle was completely destroyed by this blow, and the wreckage of hundreds of starships fell into the void in the burning of silver-white flames, like silver-white meteorites.
"Hurry!
Huron shouted, and the battleship, which was already scarred, barely started in the energy spark of this moment, and rushed out towards the passage that had not yet closed, and behind it were those starships that had not yet sunk, but the demons would not just let them go, and the hole that had been cut open was quickly filled at this moment.
But desperation could no longer break the will of Huron and the others, for farther ahead, the dense wave of water waves, like the collapse of the walls of space, had proved it.
Their support is coming!
As if passing through the waves from the back of the current into the front, the First Fleet, led by the Storm Fortress, emerged outside the battlefield through the waves.
"The road ahead is cleared! The Transition Pass is opened! The First Fleet is charged!"
It was as if they had passed through a large portal, and the main guns of the First Fleet, all painted in gold, shone brightly under the light of the local stars, and the demon starships sensed that something was wrong, but before they could open their defensive formations, the devastating pillars of light had already fallen from the sky.
They came, they caught up.
At the most critical moment, in the face of an old adversary from the millennium, the Heroic Division of the Federation officially appeared!89
