Chapter 0264: Hunting for Narud (2)
Planet Mystave IV is the main military distribution center of the Tyranid Empire, and it is also the most important military heavy industry area.
This planet is a professional heavy industry park, mainly responsible for the production of various types of heavy equipment required by the Tyranid Empire: such as various types of combat vehicles, large war robots, heavy siege tanks, military transport ships, all kinds of warplanes, warships, and even the main battleship heavy battlecruiser.
It can be said that this Micstaffe IV planet is one of the most important military centers of the Tyranid Empire!
Because of this, there is a mixed garrison fleet with a main Behemoth-class battleship as the flagship and dozens of large, medium and small warships of various types, and a vice admiral of the Mistave family born on the planet serves as the planetary garrison officer and fleet commander.
Here, it can be said that it is one of the areas that Mengsk focuses on, and almost all the important generals at the top are his descendants! Even now, when there is more or less turmoil in most of the star regions, here, it is still as stable as Mount Tai, and there will never be the slightest mistake!
Anyway, the Emperor Mengsk and those imperial high-ranking people in the Keha Capital Star District have always thought so?
"Lieutenant General Mistaf ......"
"You are the patriarch of the empire, and the Great Mengsk is not kind to you, right? I don't understand, why did you follow that gang of rebels to rebel? What kind of benefits can they give you, and it's worth your life for them?! ”
In the space military port of Missav, on a huge square used to stack supplies, a major general with a pale face and a group of more than 100 members of the gendarmerie were besieged in the middle of the square by a large number of troops.
However, they still stood up behind simple bunkers made up of metal crates loaded with supplies.
Not far from the front, after a holographic projection of the military commander, Lieutenant General Missav, appeared and persuaded them to surrender, the officer with the rank of major general finally despaired among the surrounded.
"I didn't rebel against the Empire, and I didn't collect any benefits!"
"Now here on Planet Mistave IV, there is still a military flag belonging to the Tyranid Empire, so, Major General Lance! I think you must have misunderstood something? Or, you lay down your arms now, and I can talk to you face-to-face? ”
"Soldiers! Please believe me, as long as you surrender your weapons and surrender, anything can be discussed! Now, things are far from as serious as you imagined, and you must not be fooled by those who have a heart! ”
Lieutenant General Missav, who was in the holographic projection state, looked at the young general not far away from him with a calm face, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said so sincerely to the gendarmes and the major general who were hiding behind the bunker.
"Shut up! Missav! ”
"At this point, you still want to coax us soldiers who have been specializing in secret work for many years?!"
Before Stave could continue his persuasion, the major general rudely interrupted him with a loudspeaker in his armored powered combat suit, and secretly gestured to the Marine Gendarmes behind him.
"Whew! Don't think I don't know, I've looked into it! You traitors who are in a series of traitors must have waited for someone or a common signal to act because they haven't rebelled right away, right? That professional manager named Tosh?! ”
As soon as he talked about this, the major general named Reims was sad and indignant!
He regretted it now, he only hated that he had received the information and began to react too late......
This happened a few days ago, when a group of merchandising salesmen from the Terrado Chamber of Commerce arrived on the planet Mystave IV and began selling the magical red energy crystals that their Chamber of Commerce had newly discovered between the military and the industrial zone higher-ups.
Moreover, they also preach everywhere, how efficient they are, how rich and powerful the energy they contain, and deliberately release and disappear, saying that they still have some special effect?!
Because the other party used the usual tricks of merchants, and here on Planet Mistave IV, he has actually been trading with this large chamber of commerce in the Terrado Star Zone, and usually buys various ores or refined metals from the other party, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and of course he didn't pay much attention to it.
But where did he think that two days later, he received a secret report that there were many high-ranking officers who were conspiring to rebel and suppress lower-level officers who did not obey orders? And they're all more or less related to the new sales manager of the Chamber of Commerce called Tosh?
It's a pity that he didn't pay too much attention to it at that time, and he didn't quite believe that there would be so many high-level officers on Planet Mistave IV to collude with a businessman to rebel, after all, those officers are high-level, powerful and rich, how could they mess with some businessmen?
Therefore, he delayed for another two days before he began to quietly start the investigation, and then, this investigation was terrible!
Later, when he was about to order a further investigation and inform the garrison commander of Lieutenant General Mistave, who he considered to be the most trusted in the Empire, he was brutally suppressed by the other side? Not only did most of his subordinates accuse him and arrest him on suspicion of treason, but even he, a major general, was restricted from going out and communicating with the outside world?
Therefore, after knowing that he was caught in a huge conspiracy vortex, he forcibly led the military police force of more than 200 people that he could still control in his headquarters, forcibly raided the military port of the Milstaff space station, prepared to seize a warship to escape from here, and looked for an opportunity to report the matter to the gendarmerie corps in the imperial capital!
Originally, his plan was good, and he almost succeeded......
But where would he have thought that the direct gendarmerie unit that he had always thought was very loyal and reliable would be secretly rebellious by those rebels?
So, when he carried out the final step of the raid on the military port, he was helplessly blocked here by the military who had prepared for a long time......
"Major General! You don't have to think about it anymore....."
"Here, several days ago, the strictest signal blocking was implemented! All the signal receiving and sending are in charge of the person and the brain, so it is absolutely impossible for you to secretly send a signal for help! ”
Lieutenant General Micstaff, who was watching from afar in his office, saw through the other party's tricks at a glance.
This group of people even wants to delay the time to try to use small communication equipment to send signals to the outside world? Don't they know that the entire planet Mystave IV has long been under the strictest signal military control in the name of the exercise?
Any communication that does not go through the information center will never be transmitted, let alone the portable low-power equipment in their hands!
"So, surrender quickly, this is your last chance......"
With that, Micstaff could only shake his head and wave his hand at the troops behind his holographic projection.
Then, the Imperial troops, who were surrounding the enemy, gave way one after another, let several heavy siege tanks in the rear move up, and aimed their double-barreled 80-millimeter plasma guns at Major General Reims and the gendarmerie troops, who were still trying to resist stubbornly in the middle of the square.
"You're underestimating us, Missav! We, like us, value honor above all else! ”
After saying that, the major general led his men to start firing at the opposing troops, letting countless electromagnetic bullets graze the thick armor of those siege tanks and hit the Marines who were also wearing Imperial military uniforms.
"Okay, then I'll do what you want......"
Sighing and looking at the metal bullets that began to fly in front of and behind him, Lieutenant General Missav seemed to understand something, and after nodding, he didn't say anything more.
However, when his holographic projection disappeared, the muzzles of the siege tanks let out a roaring roar, and then, the flames of the electromagnetic cannonballs completely flooded the simple fortifications stacked with metal boxes in the middle of the supply square......
And when Tosh secretly recovered the important Mistave munitions hub of the Tyranid Empire, on a barren planet in the outermost part of the Terardo system, the Magic Battleship Führer chased Narud's medium-sized warship to the planet's synchronous orbit after defeating the Hyperion.
"Uh...... The Führer? What do we do now? Need to send Marines to land on the planet and catch that guy named Naruod? ”
Looking at the Morbius Foundation battleship on the planet's ground, which had to be forced to land on the surface of the gravel dunes, Captain Planck secretly took two sips of wine before leaning over to his Führer's side and whispered a question.
Now their Führer was in pursuit, flying in orbit over the opponent's landing site, keeping a close eye on the ship's every move below.
"Catch Narud? Why do you want to catch it? It's inexplicable! ”
Anne glared at the drunken old man angrily, and after looking thoughtfully at a dark corner of the bridge, she ordered with a smile:
"Turn on Magic Probe! Lock on to that Naruod's life signal, and then fire them straight away! ”
Anyway, those people below are all infected or corrupted bad guys, and Anne doesn't bother to go down and catch them or kill them one by one, just bombard them with battleships in orbit!
Here, this barren planet does not have an atmosphere, which does not affect the power of particle laser weapons or electromagnetic cannonballs, and can carry out ultra-long-range bombing attacks in orbit with impunity.
"Okay! Your Excellency, look at it! ”
After hearing that there was no need for landing, but direct artillery bombardment, Planck's eyes lit up!
This Führer battleship has not had a chance to fire at full power since it was refitted! Now it's time to take the fallen battleship below for actual combat training?
"Artillery crews ready! Attention air-to-ground laser cannon group, air-to-ground plasma rapid-fire artillery crew! Aim at enemy warships and any movable target and fire in three minutes! Preparation...... Fire!!! ”
Having received the order from Führer Anne, Planck laughed and stepped aside, and in his rough voice gave the order directly to the commander of the shelling on the bridge.
Then, at the next moment when he finished speaking, a large number of turrets of large-caliber plasma rapid-fire guns with red rays of light and bundles of blue-white high-energy laser guns poured out a large amount of artillery fire towards the enemy ships that had just landed on the ground and had not yet recovered from the impact when they landed!
When the high-energy laser beams of the laser cannon crew, which were as fast as light, instantly shone on the enemy's hull armor, bursting and melting red craters of different sizes, the electromagnetic shells that came behind them smashed directly on the head like a raging storm!
In an instant, the medium-sized warship, the size of two football fields, was directly annihilated in flames, smoke, and countless dust blasted from the ground......
But that's not the end of it, it's just the beginning!
Because, the order that Captain Planck just gave was a three-minute saturation rapid fire!
So, even when the crew members thought that the enemy was almost wiped out, they still faithfully carried out the order and continued to bombard the ground regardless of it!
Under the attack of dozens of rapid-fire turrets of different sizes, countless electromagnetic shells dragging red trails and blue-white laser beams were still attacking frantically from the various gun positions in the belly of the Führer's magic battleship.
The thick smoke, the flames of the explosion, and the countless fragments of the battleship that were blown away, the flesh and blood of the human body, and the dust in the sky directly tossed the ground of this planet as if it was blowing a twelve-level storm, and even the optical detection instruments on the Führer could no longer see the details of the ground and the surrounding area of the battleship......
However, the situation quickly improved, and after three minutes had passed, the members of the artillery crew, who had been very addicted, reluctantly stopped the turrets, whose muzzles were a little overloaded.
"Radar Chief! Detect the ground situation immediately, and that Naruod's life signal is still there? ”
Soon, since there is no atmosphere on the planet, there is no carrier or buoyancy for the dust and smoke to float in the air for a long time.
Therefore, soon after the Führer battleship stopped attacking, the soot, dust, powder and other materials that had lost power to obscure the vision gradually fell silent above the surface of the earth under the effect of the planet's own gravity, allowing everyone on the Führer to see the current situation of the Mobis battleship.
Or is it that there, and then above the ground, there are no more warships left?
At this moment, whether it is the Führer's optical detection instruments or the Hyperion watching the battle from a distance, all that can be found on the surface of the planet is a pile of barely recognizable skeletons of warships...... Its original armor, bulkheads, and other facilities had long since been destroyed by the horrific bombardment, and scattered scattered over a radius of several kilometers from the battleship......
"Huh? Not dead yet?! ”
"He's the villain named Naroud, right? One...... A strange old man with red eyes?! ”
Soon, Anne, who was on the bridge, couldn't help but exclaim.
Because, from her own perception, she has captured the other party's life signal, and it is still so strong and dazzling, there is no trace of it as if she is about to die!
“……”
Later, when the holographic projection of the bridge magnified the optical image, the others on the bridge also realized that above the ground, not far from the wreckage of the broken battleship, an old man with a white beard covering his wounded shoulders and red eyes was looking up at the Führer in the sky and glaring angrily.
"Sure enough, it's really not dead yet!"
Darius and Galen were shocked, under this kind of bombardment, even the rest of them probably wouldn't survive for ten seconds, right? And the old man at the bottom, his vitality is so strong?
And, looking at the other party's body, there seems to be a faint red shield? Is this another being with extraordinary powers? Is it ghost? Or something else?
"Sir! Detected a high-energy reaction on the opponent's body, with a strength equivalent to ...... At least level 11 of Ghost Energy? Extremely dangerous! ”
At this time, a radar soldier who was responsible for detecting the energy reaction exclaimed!
After the Federation of Heroes gradually integrated with the human world in the Kproru Star Zone, they gradually used the same equipment and energy detection system as the humans here.
And just now, this radar scout was on the body of that Narud on the ground, and detected a ghost energy reaction of more than level 10?
“……”
Hearing this, Galen and Darius glanced at each other, and then quickly shrank back.
Just now, they originally planned to ask for their lives and volunteered to teleport down to the planet, ready to capture or chop each other alive! But now, when they knew that the other party was actually an existence of at least eleven levels of ghost energy, they decisively confessed......
You must know that now, even Galen, who has the highest energy level, is in full force before the energy detection equipment of the human beings in the Kplu Star Region, when it explodes at full strength, it is at most more than level eight, less than level nine!
"Look at his body and eyes!"
"He can survive without armor on a planet without an atmosphere, and his eyes are still glowing red? It's a monster mixed in with humans......"
"Plasma torpedo ready, three standard ammunition, lock that monster...... Launch!!! ”
After seeing that Narud was not dead, Planck frowned, and ordered the Führer to fire three plasma torpedoes against the strange Narud on the ground.
This plasma torpedo not only has the ability to kill with high explosives and fragmentation, but also has the ability to break through the defense of particle energy storms, which is most suitable for sneak attacks on large warships with shields!
And now, he used three of them to attack this monster with a shield, and it would definitely work, right?
"Bastard! Damn humans! I, Naruod, swear that one day, I will take revenge for all the humiliation you have inflicted on me! ”
At this moment, Naroud on the ground is desperate!
He had just withstood a wave of bombardment, and when he saw the huge battleship in the sky firing down three large torpedoes again, he could only open his mouth and curse in grief.
Right now, on this barren planet with only small fast rocks and sand shuo, as far as the eye can see, except for the large and small craters, there is not even a cave or crack for him to dodge, so he can only passively stay on the ground and be bombed!
Against the kind of torpedo that can track and have super high speed, it will do nothing to escape except to try to force it down! And now, he didn't want to waste energy with a long-range attack for the time being, so he could only put on a tough ghost shield for himself again, and just stared at the three incoming plasma torpedoes.
"Report sir, all three torpedoes hit!"
Soon, three ultra-high-speed penetrating plasma torpedoes with a blue tail flame smashed into Dr. Naruod's body on the ground that wanted to run but had nowhere to run in less than half a minute! And at the same time, three violent plasma flame storms exploded, directly submerging the other party.
"Hah! This monster should die now, right? ”
After seeing that the plasma torpedo had all hit, Planck nodded in satisfaction, took out his bottle again, and took two large sips of joy.
It's a pity that Captain Planck didn't last long before he was disappointed again......
When the energy storm and dust from the torpedo explosion dissipated, that Naruod, the other party actually seemed to be alive and well! And, he also turned into a twisted humanoid monster? While still staring at the Führer in the sky with its red light and crazy eyes, it also opened its mouth into the sky and roared silently with its hideous and terrifying face!
Although it had successfully used its powerful energy to save its life under the protection of the spectral shield just now, it still suffered a lot of injuries and consumed a large part of its energy under the terrifying plasma torpedo attack.
"Humph! How dare it attack me?! ”
Anne has noticed that the other party's spirit seems to be locking on herself? It must be scolding itself, right? It must be, then, it can't be spared!
"Planck! Do the fusion bombs and plasma torpedoes on our battleship all look the same? ”
Looking at the monster that was still unconvinced and dared to lock on to her own scolding, Anne decided to give it a good look!
Then, she suddenly remembered the three torpedoes that had just been fired, which seemed to look almost the same as the cannon battles she had played on planet JNO.3?
"Hmm...... Seems like yes, right? They all use the same style of high-speed penetration rockets, but the warhead and range are different. ”
In fact, all the missile weapons of the Federation of Heroes are basically the same style, and the difference is only in size or warhead loading?
"Your Excellency, do you ...... What strategic nuclear bombs do you want to use to blow up this monster? It's not necessary, is it? It's a bit of a waste...... Why don't we continue to attack it with plasma cannons? ”
After understanding his little Führer's thoughts, Planck swallowed a little embarrassed.
On top of their Führer battleship, there are indeed three strategic-class high-yield fusion bombs! However, Planck had never thought of bombing such a monster with them on such a barren planet, it was too much of a waste.
Strategic nuclear bombs, which should be used against important places such as large military fortresses or industrial cities of the enemy! And not just throw it here!
Moreover, he Planck also saw that the monster called Narud on the planet below had been seriously injured, and it must not be long before it tossed, and it should be almost the same if it attacked a few more times later, and there was no need to use a strategic nuclear bomb that could blow up an entire land mass during the Earth period to attack a single target!
"Order! Prepare three plasma torpedoes, and then, fire a nuclear bomb right behind them, fire them in twenty seconds from the countdown, and be sure to blow them up for me! ”
After glancing at Planck, Anne ignored his suggestion and spoke directly to the lieutenant who was in charge of delivering the order to attack.
You know, she is the head of the Federation of Heroes, this battleship is hers, and the weapons on it are of course hers! She can use her own things if she wants, where can she manage so much?
"Yes! Sir! ”
Here, the biggest official must be the head of state little Annie! Therefore, the adjutant did not dare to say more, and directly gave the latest instructions of the Führer to the missile units at the combat post with a blank face.
After twenty seconds of silence in the bridge, three plasma torpedoes were fired, followed by an identical-looking ......
"Here we go again, damn humans!"
Before he could figure out a way, he was about to dig a hole to hide Naruod, after just withstanding the three torpedoes of the previous wave, and now, he found that the damn battleship had fired four more torpedoes at him?
This is really the rhythm that must be done to his death......
Therefore, he was forced to be helpless, and at the same time as putting a ghost energy shield on himself, his hands began to gather red energy clusters, and then when the torpedo flew down towards him at high speed, he violently pushed the energy mass in his hand towards the sky.
With four torpedoes, he probably won't be able to withstand it! But if you knock out one or two, maybe you can still catch your breath?
Soon, the red energy mass directly collided with the first two torpedoes, one in front and one behind, and successfully melted the other party!
However, he didn't have the time and energy to deal with the next two, so he could only strengthen his shield again and prepare to carry it hard......
Narud felt that he had to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible, or he would be killed by the battleship above sooner or later!
Now, he has not completed the task of his master Aemon, and he has not resurrected a usable body in the material world for his master, so he must not die! At least, you can't die here right now!
Wait a minute! What is that?
Narud had just carried a plasma torpedo that had exploded outside his spectral shield, and before he could think about it, he saw another torpedo burst out with a strange and dazzling white light, and then, in the next second, he didn't know anything......
……
“……”
Renault suddenly didn't know what to say, he just felt that in the future, no matter what, he must not offend that little girl again......
"Sir......
"I think, that Dr. Naroud, he must have owed a lot of money to the Hero Federation, and it's probably the kind he doesn't want to pay back?"
After a moment of silence, Matt suddenly spoke to Renault, who was also silent beside him.
In the distance of the planet's orbit, in the bridge of the Hubelion, which had already sent the SCV to space work and repaired some of the melted armor on its back, Matt and Renault were watching in amazement at the Führer's battleship, which calmly turned and leaped away, and the huge incandescent fireball that covered almost half of the planet on the surface of this unknown planet......
Matt thinks, this is just to kill a person, do you need to use a nuclear bomb?
Well, even if that Dr. Naruod isn't a human, he's a monster! But even if it's a monster, it can't afford to lose a strategic fusion bomb with at least hundreds of millions of tons of TNT equivalent, right?!
"Alright, Matt! Let's get ready to set sail! ”
"At least we have two pieces of news now! One good and one bad, do you want to listen to that first? ”
After one last glance at the huge black-red mushroom cloud that had become expanding above the planet, Renault spoke with a pretended lightheartedness.
"Let's talk together, sir!"
Obviously, Matt isn't in the mood for a joke right now.
"The bad news: our artifact shard buyer is finished! And here's the good news...... We've captured a couple of ownerless transport ships! ”
Renault smiled bitterly, then turned his head and looked at the transport ship on the other side, which was moored not far behind them! The crew of those ships have long been abandoned by the Führer, right?
Now that the deal of digging up artifacts and selling them for money has come to an end, and there is not even any scum left after the buyer is killed, then he will not do anything, and simply hack these giant civilian transport ships of the Mobis Foundation!
"So, Matt! Send your crew to pick up those ships! Before their people come back......"
Let's hope there's something of value on those ships, right?
Groping his chin, Renault looked at the spaceships, and muttered a little in his heart, he was afraid that he would end up with nothing in the end of his trip to the artifact trade that lasted for several months?
If that's the case, it's going to be a big problem......
"Sir, that's really good news!"
After nodding, Matt also thought that Renault's idea was good, so he hurriedly stepped aside and began to dispatch the transport ships and related crews, planning to land those transport ships and drive them away!
Matt had already figured out that if there were no valuable belongings on those ships, then they would take the ships and sell them on the black market! When the time comes, it is estimated that you can get back a lot of money?
