Chapter 105: A battering ram without a cost
Chapter 105 A battering ram without cost
Perhaps due to natural genes, the emperors of the San Vano Empire were keen on war expansion, and this tendency caused the empire to be at war with its neighbors. Centuries-long wars have given rise to a unique boom called "interstellar mercenaries". Interstellar mercenaries who have no political affiliation, serve both sides of the war and are paid huge sums to strengthen themselves.
According to statistics, there are more than four figures of interstellar mercenary groups registered in the empire alone, and the top mercenary groups even have the powerful force of several detachments. By such standards, a "three-star army" who only owns an old frigate and is a commodity eliminated by the empire is really not a role in the mercenary world.
However, if the place is changed to the Emerald Dragon Collar, it is different.
There is a precedent for the collapse of the "Conquest Legion", and even the most powerful mercenary group does not dare to approach the territory of the Virtuous Dragon King to make trouble. Only a small team like Sanxingwu would dare to sneak into the Star Death Belt activity like a cockroach.
Regardless of the small episodes such as the titanium boat a few days ago, relying on the huge profits of the smuggling trade, the three-star army, who is not ranked at all, can be said to be quite nourishing. On this day, the Tristar Warrior once again set off from the dock of Deedalus and went to the edge of the Star Death Belt to pick up a bodyguard mission.
The frigate, which was eliminated from the Imperial sequence, slowly sailed out of the trading post under the impetus of two second-hand engines, and the modified and messy bow fully exposed the aesthetic of the interstellar mercenary, and the huge ramming angle installed to highlight the sense of presence made passing ships look sideways.
Through the bridge partition, the mercenary leader Sanxing proudly inspected the ships around him to avoid it, and couldn't help but be complacent about his original decision. He had long known that there was no military force at all that dared to spread wilderness in the Dragon Immortal King's territory. Under the deterrence of the eldest son of all things, the Emerald Dragon Territory is bound to become a military vacuum. Although the Three-Star Warrior is almost a miscellaneous fish on the side of the Empire, if it is in the dragon territory of the military vacuum, it may make achievements instead.
Moreover, those eldest sons of all things, who are at the apex of the Suopa Sea, are unlikely to be interested in such miscellaneous fish as them.
It was with this kind of luck that the Three Star Warriors sneaked into the Dragon Territory at the risk of being burned into plasma by the dragon's breath, and as far as the results were concerned, the bet they made did pay off richly. A steady stream of commissions has brought in huge income, and Sanxingwu's assets have more than doubled hundreds of times compared to the original. Its leaders have begun to make ambitious plans to build a detachment and return to the Empire's mercenary world.
"Commander!
The observer next to him suddenly let out a panicked sound, interrupting the sweet dream of the apex of the Mercenary Realm of the Three-Star King's Landing.
"What's the panic, I haven't left Daedalus yet, what can I do if there is a situation......
Sanxing scolded his unbreathless men, but when he looked away, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Hey, what's that?"
"Like, yes?"
"He's not wearing a spacesuit, who can be in a vacuum...... Wow, move, move?"
The mercenaries scrambled to the port side window to witness the human figure floating in the void.
It was a young man with black hair and black eyes, about twenty years old, who seemed to be nothing special on the outside, but he was exposed to the absolute zero void in casual clothes. The undisguised posture made the mercenaries stunned. Even the neighboring ships noticed this, and they all stared at the young man who stood in the void with surprise and incomprehension.
Sanxing didn't squeeze through like his subordinates. Through the observation window of the captain's seat, he was able to witness the vision in the void more clearly, and he felt an inexplicable shudder in surprise.
It is impossible for the natural creatures under the gravity well to survive in a vacuum, and the only ones that can directly crisscross the astral plane with their physical bodies are the incredible high-level lifeforms such as the Dragon Clan, the Shura Clan. Although the young man did not release the coercion of a high-ranking life, the shiver that welled up from the bottom of his heart was better than ever.
Sanxing trusts his instincts, and has relied on them to avoid countless dangers so far, and this time is no exception.
"Retreat! Retreat at full speed!"
Can't wait for the helmsman to react, Sanxing grabbed the steering rudder and pushed the throttle valve to the limit while turning the bow of the boat. And at this time, the young man who stepped on the void over there also quietly raised his hand.
Although there is a theoretical protection of Long Ji, for Wen Dao, who was born on the earth, it is better to avoid things like being directly exposed to a vacuum. To this end, Wen Dao used the field matrix to make a fully enclosed space for himself, and the misty dragon breath diffused from the wrist chakra filled the matrix space.
Although it is not visible to the naked eye, if you measure it with an instrument, you will find that a terrifying singularity with an extremely high energy density has suddenly appeared near Daedalus. And Wen Dao, who was in the midst of the singularity, looked up at the trading post in the void with a lot of emotion.
Once the supply center of the Imperial fleet, Daedalus has a behemoth size comparable to a medium-sized capital, and looking up at the past from the perspective of Wendao is probably similar to the feeling of an ant looking up at an aircraft carrier. Thinking of what he was about to do, a ridiculous emotion mixed with slight cowardice welled up from the bottom of his heart, and it took Wen Tao some effort to overcome it, and asked in a low voice.
"Is the parsing complete?"
"It's been done a long time ago. A projection of a bronze beast face popped out of the void, and Hector's voice took on an inexplicably pleasant rhythm. It has nothing to do with the position, everything related to the war can arouse the great interest of the old madman. "The population of Daedalus is basically concentrated in those few plots, and other facilities can be repaired even if they are damaged. The old man painted the color according to the importance, and you can smash it according to the dark plot!"
With Hector's words, a goggle-like window popped up in front of Wen Dao's eyes. Looking through the window, you can see that the structure is divided into red, blue, and green areas. The red area is the inhabited block, while the blue and green are the equipment and material layers. Although the old madman strongly recommended that Wendao smash it at the important block, considering the budget for repairs thereafter, Wendao decided to be on the safe side.
Besides, this is the first time he has done this, and he is not sure how important to start.
"Alright, let's get started. ”
Wen Dao took a deep breath and focused his consciousness on his left hand. The wrist chakra inlaid with dragon scales emitted light, and Wen Dao's right hand was like a sword, slowly drawing a square trajectory on his chest. As it moved, a transparent matrix of squares appeared in the void in front of it, but it was the size of a basketball court.
Wen Tao focused his consciousness on the matrix and made a stretching motion with both hands.
The matrix then slowly expanded outward, and in a snap of a finger it became the size of a football field.
The force field module with dragon scales as the core of energy theoretically has nearly infinite scalability, but Wen Dao is somewhat weak-hearted. The matrix in front of him was the largest he had ever created, and if he expanded, he would probably not be able to control its destructive power. To be on the safe side, Wen Dao stabilized the matrix at the size of a football field, and then continued to compress the energy into it.
At this moment, the matrix was about two or three hundred meters away from Daedalus, and several smuggling merchant ships that came and went also noticed the huge cube suspended in the void, but they all showed puzzled expressions.
Wen Tao stared at the super-large artificial star in front of him, aimed the matrix at a blue block somewhere, and slammed his raised right arm down!
Synchronized with Wen Dao's movements, the flat cube suspended in the void suddenly stretched out like a spring that had been compressed to the limit! In an instant, after a distance of hundreds of meters, the front end of the matrix slammed into Deedalus's body.
The titanium steel armor plate, which was enough to withstand the direct attack of the nuclear cannon, was torn and shattered like thin cardboard under the impact of the dragon's breath matrix. The shock soon spread throughout the Outpost, like a defenseless blow to the abdomen, and the behemoth named Daedalus let out a sullen groan.
Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of supplies poured out of the gaping hole in his abdomen, and a piercing alarm sounded inside Daedalus, and before the stunned residents could react, hundreds of sealed gates finally isolated the destroyed cabin. The air no longer leaks out, but it also comes at the cost of three percent of the interior space being unusable.
"What's going on!??
"No! Someone is attacking Daedalus!
Although the settlement was not actually damaged, the impact that affected the entire trading post was a great shock to the inhabitants. Through the images captured by projections outside the ship, they could clearly see the huge cube that had hit Dallus's abdomen.
and not far away, another giant matrix slowly taking shape.
"Hey, what's that......"
"That's the Force Field Matrix! Could it be the Force Fielder?"
"Impossible! I've never heard of a force field like this!"
At a time when smugglers and mercenaries are frantic at the strange situation in front of them, a second shock strikes!
The giant matrix, which had been used as a battering ram, slammed into the hull of Deedalus from the flank. The armor plates and beams were swept away, and the energy pipes laid out below deck were crumbling. Losing the power supply of artificial gravity devices, the device was forced to crash, and Daidarosny suddenly became a chaotic space of no one.
Losing the support of gravity and listening to the groans of the trading post, both interstellar mercenaries and smugglers fell into a hysterical frenzy. An aimless roar filled Daedalus, and for these outlaws who had set foot on the Dragonland without permission, the fright was a merciful punishment compared to the miserable end of being burned to plasma by the dragon's breath.
As the saying goes, a slap in the face gives a piece of candy. Since sooner or later Daedalus will have to be brought under the control of the Dragon Territory, it is more efficient to establish prestige first. Besides, before each impact, Wen Dao did damage control.
"So, it should be about the same, right?"
Wen Dao looked at the two matrix pillars inserted into the trading post and exhaled quietly.
Using the force field matrix, which originally required precise manipulation, as a battering ram, can be said to be a crude idea that makes people speechless. If it weren't for the tragic battle with the Shura Clan bear child last time, Wen Tao would not have thought of using the force field to do such a thing.
Wen Dao pointed to his chest and stared nervously at the space around him.
Cut off from gravity, Daedalus has lost his ability to resist and is like a fish on a chopping block and can only be slaughtered by him. At this moment, the only one who can save the trading post is the rumored Patronus, and forcing it out is also the original purpose of this battle.
"Isn't it enough......"
Wen Dao frowned slightly, and his fingers swiped, and the third matrix column slowly took shape above Dai Dalus.
This matrix column was far more threatening than the previous two, and immediately provoked a strong reaction.
With a shrill whine, a cloud of crimson flames suddenly rose from below the matrix pillar. The high-temperature flames formed a large fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters, and a pair of crimson fiery wings stretched out from the blazing fireball, and under everyone's eyes, a fire phoenix with a wingspan of more than 100 meters and a whole body covered with red feathers emerged from the void.
The fire phoenix rolled its cyan eyes and quickly locked onto Wen Dao in the void.
The moment he met that eye, Wen Dao's heart trembled for no reason.
