The battle has been going on for almost nine hours. Under the absolute superiority of the Star Alliance, the human fleet has long been outnumbered. If it weren't for the Covenant's unwillingness to accidentally damage this artificial ring, these remaining human warships would have been completely destroyed long ago.

Now every battleship has become a bloody battlefield. Humans and the Covenant forces engage in repeated tug-of-war on each ship.

Countless Covenant troops have come forward one after another, ready to use their strength advantage to pile up the UNSC Marines.

And in order to delay as much time as possible, to the end, even a large number of civilian officers joined in with Magnon pistols in hand and fought with the Covenant fighters.

Looking at the battlefield full of flames and heavy casualties on the screen, General Hood asked with a tired face, "Ain, how long can we hold out!"

"Your Excellency, based on the current progress of the enemy's attack, the Marines should still be able to resist for three hours. But our carrier-based aircraft units have already lost 95 percent, and at present it is no longer possible to prevent the enemy's carrier-based aircraft units from attacking the artificial ring!"

Hearing the answer of the artificial intelligence Ain, General Hood stared at him and said, "Then order the battleships behind to go up and let them use the battleships themselves to block the enemy's attacks." Reorganize the anti-aircraft fire, and make sure that the construction progress of Your Excellency Yunqi will not be affected!"

"Orders are being delivered, Your Excellency. However, after my calculations, there are currently less than five warships that can move, and most of the anti-aircraft firepower has been lost, and continuing to send these warships to organize air defense will increase the senseless sacrifice!"

"Then the ship will also be on top, in short, no matter what, we must ensure the smooth completion of the artificial ring!"

Hearing General Hood's order, Ain paused and replied, "With this ship, it is expected that we can resist the other party for fifteen more minutes." But this is only an egg to a stone, a dying struggle. ”

"I know, but now we need a miracle!"

At this point in the battle, General Hood had no choice for a long time, the only thing he could do was to believe in Yun Qi, and believe that this friend from the outer universe could create miracles again.

。。。

In outer space, several UNSC warships are moving with difficulty, these warships have long been scarred, but in order to buy the last trace of time, the captains of these warships are still desperately squeezing the last trace of energy in the engines of these warships, moving the warships to the airspace in front of the predetermined artificial ring, and then using the few remaining anti-aircraft guns on the warships as much as possible to organize a tight anti-aircraft fire network.

These human warships are using their bodies as shields to stop the Covenant Angel Interceptor and the Enchantress transport.

It's a pity that slow-moving warships can be compared to agile fighters, not to mention that the anti-aircraft firepower of these warships has already been lost.

For the fighters of the Star Alliance, these huge battleships are purely steel coffins, and a few anti-aircraft guns scattered on them simply cannot block the entire airspace.

These Covenant fighters can bombard the surface of these ships with plasma with impunity, blowing up these massive steel behemoths to the ground.

"Don't waste time on these human warships. Closer to scout, we need to determine what the hell is going on with this ruin!"

Under the command of a high-ranking flight captain of the Star Alliance, several Angel interceptors successfully passed through the last anti-aircraft fire network of the human fleet, and came to the huge engineering bay, where they saw the huge artificial ring being built in the engineering bay.

"What is that, a human. This huge silver light was released by a human, this can't be!"

Seeing that in the center of the artificial ring, there was actually a human figure within the silver light, and all the Star Alliance warriors were stunned.

And the Covenant commander who received this close-range video reconnaissance signal also looked at the human in the silver light in the image with a confused expression!

"Damn, how could this be. A human being is able to release this silver light. What the hell is going on?"

When he discovered that this was not an ancestral legacy, but a vision created by an unknown human, the elite commander immediately had a bad premonition.

"Attack, attack immediately, destroy these human fleets, destroy this engineering bay, destroy this artificial ring!"

For the unknown, both humans and the Covenant have the idea that they would rather destroy it than let it be used by the enemy.

I saw that under the order of the commander, these more than 1,000 Star Alliance warships immediately activated the plasma main cannon and began to deal a devastating blow to these human fleets that were still resisting.

The UNSC fleet, which was already semi-paralyzed, immediately fell into the worst situation after receiving this blow.

One after another, the UNSC battleships that lost power were fiercely pierced through the main armor by the enemy's plasma cannons, and then in the loss of control of the power core, they turned into one huge fireworks after another, lighting up the entire night sky!

At the same time, hundreds of red plasmas tore through the dark night sky, fiercely penetrated the thin shell of Engineering Bay, and then accurately hit the artificial ring belt that was still under construction.

Boom!

The sound of a loud explosion mixed with the constant sound of alarms caused chaos to turn the entire construction site into chaos.

"Bastard, don't mess around, everyone, stabilize me, and step up construction. ”

"Head, no. The enemy's artillery fire is so fierce! Several of our construction ships have been sunk!"

"Head, we've already killed over thirty engineers in the attack. We must retreat quickly!"

Hear the panic of your men. At the head of all the civilian engineers, a middle-aged man in his forties shouted angrily: "Retreat, where are we going?" The USNC fleet ahead was on the verge of annihilation. Earth has also been slaughtered by the Covenant fleet. Now we have nowhere to retreat. Either complete the artificial ring and expect a miracle to happen. Or all of us will die here. Is there any other choice?"

"Head!"

Seeing that there were still some people who were a little hesitant, the middle-aged man turned his face and shouted loudly: "If you want to escape for your life, just go." Those who are willing to stay will come with me. Today we want to let everyone know that our logistics and construction department is not a bad seed, and this is our battlefield. And as logistical builders, we will never give up on our battlefield!"

Driven by this middle-aged man, all the engineers were like drugged, and frantically withstood the enemy's fire and started the construction of the line of fire.

And at the same time, Yun Qi, who felt the attack of the Star Alliance, was also desperate!

I saw him grit his teeth violently and launched a double-line operation.

On the one hand, he frantically accelerated the construction of artificial rings, and on the other hand, he used his ability to set up temporary shields on the hulls of those engineering ships for protection.

But even so, the attack of the Star Covenant still made Yun Qi feel overwhelmed in an instant!

Each of the thick plasma cannons completely destroyed a portion of the artificial ring, and in just a few minutes, the entire artificial ring was full of potholes!

At this rate, don't say tomorrow, as long as it takes a few hours, Yun Qi himself will say GG!

"Damn, hold on for a while, for a while!"

Yun Qi, who had a splitting headache, almost gritted his teeth and insisted.

But even then, he was about to reach his limit.

But there are still thirty minutes left before the completion time! But the time that usually passes with a cup of tea is like a year for everyone now.

Even Yun Qi himself didn't know how long he could resist.

He could only grit his teeth and insist desperately, and the rest would only be handed over to the goddess of fate in the dark.
