The smartest politician is the one who can turn everything into a political event and solve it with political means. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The old face on the big screen opposite had vanished, replaced by the flowing firelight in front of the battleship column.
More than 20 landing craft, with the expectation of His Royal Highness, passed through the high-altitude orbit of the wandering planet, pierced the thin atmosphere, and flew towards the black giant mouth with no edge and end in sight in the distance.
Inside the cabin, the Blood Wolf Warrior with a high-frequency sword on his back sat in the ejection seat, carefully inspecting the various equipment he carried, and the only sound of snap opening and closing and loading magazines could be heard throughout the whole process, and there was no other verbal communication.
Behind the landing craft formation, which was getting farther and farther away, 2,700 warships covered the entire airspace, which was as dark as a rain cloud, and there was a sense of oppression that made people breathless.
The warships of the Xudra Legion do not see a glimmer of light, like empty coffins, and this kind of painting and transformation gives a strong visual and psychological impact on the enemy naval soldiers in the war, and then wins the morale advantage, especially for the army of the Star Covenant Navy, which has not been in actual combat for a long time, it is tantamount to a psychological nuclear bomb.
But the enemy they faced today was not the Star Alliance Navy, nor the Three Clans of Captain Tang, but the dark sinkhole.
The wandering planet was still moving forward at a constant speed, still rotating at a constant speed, and when the landing craft responsible for receiving Bridges and the others back to the ship entered a high-altitude orbit and flew to the Demon Wolf, more than 20 landing craft heading to the sinkhole also crossed the horizon and entered the ruins.
According to the information provided by Church, there is a screening area in the upper area of the ruins, and the landing craft with a high energy response will be intercepted by gravitational bubbles and incapacitated. The pilot, commander, and blood wolf commandos are all on guard, and when the landing craft is blocked, the ejection process will be activated, and the Griffin Knight power armor will continue to move forward with the help of Silver Steel Power Armor and Griffin Knight Power Armor.
What they didn't expect, however, was that the landing craft was not blocked at the depth noted in the Church report, but instead had a change in the brightness of the distant crystal wall. Ever since the landing craft entered the ruins, the glow of the hive lattice became more and more intense, becoming like a raging flame, giving people the illusion of purgatory.
At this moment, the curve of the display above the instrument panel that began to activate attracted the attention of the landing craft pilot, which represented the activity of the energy spilling from the center of the earth. Some pilots believe that this change is due to the brighter light radiation from the hive's crystal walls, while others disagree and choose to contact the fleet command center to report the anomaly.
How do you know that the communication that was unimpeded just now was suddenly interfered by an unknown force, and even the quantum communication terminal specially carried to resist electromagnetic interference was useless.
At the same time, in the dark space behind, the warships under the Phantom Fleet at the forefront of the battleship array received an alarm from the gravitational meter, and the rapidly oscillating gravitational waveform shook into a ball on the indicator.
"What's going on?" There was a question from the captain who didn't know what was going on, but no one could answer, this gravitational shock came and went quickly, and after a few breaths, it returned to normal, and the waveform tended to ease.
Just when many crew members were full of doubts and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the 21 landing craft located inside the sinkhole suddenly encountered an extremely powerful suction, pouring out from the ruins to the depths, which caught people off guard.
The imbalance indicator flashed rapidly, the alarm bell made a sharp and piercing sound, and the swaying hull shook the blood wolf warriors who were on standby in the rear cabin collided and rubbed with their commanders, power armor and stabilizers, and the vibration was transmitted from the seat to the hips, and the whole body was shaking, making a ping-pong crash.
"What's going on?" The same questioning as the commander of the rear battleship resounded in the cockpit of every landing craft.
"Ruins...... A sudden suction rush from the ruins upset the balance of the landing craft. The pilots turned on the auxiliary injectors and tried to balance the hull with more thrust, but they couldn't keep up with the increasing suction, and the landing craft even tilted to one side due to the influence of the auxiliary injectors.
Hearing the driver's answer, the soldiers on call in the rear cabin were a little relieved, wondering if they had arrived at the strange gravitational zone mentioned in the intelligence. At the pre-departure battle meeting, the commander who planned the operation told them that the landing craft would trigger the relic gravitational trap and be imprisoned after entering the sinkhole, but there was no need to worry, the gravitational bubble would only react to objects with strong energy levels, and would not hinder soldiers wearing power armor.
Many began to do the final checks before ejection, and after the landing craft was encased in a gravitational bubble, the second step of action began, using special power armor to continue diving deeper into the ruins.
Unfortunately, they failed to do so, and the second step was stillborn. The 21 landing craft were like a flat boat caught in the vortex of the ocean, and after only a slight struggle, they were swept up by the fast-growing suction force and turned to fly deeper.
The rapidly flashing lights inside the cabin were replaced by crackling and exploding sparks, the mental impact of the ship's spinning made many people dizzy, the rattling alloy steel plates seemed to be violently torn apart by a large hand, the wind penetrated more and more cracks, and the pressure flow and oxygen leaked out to turn the pilot in front of him into a bloody corpse.
They couldn't figure out why this was happening, what was going on. Someone endured strong dizziness and nausea, and asked loudly: "Commander, this is completely different from what was said at the combat meeting......
Yes, it's not the same at all, there are no gravitational bubbles, only gravitational tides...... No, it's a gravitational storm, like a scalpel used to dismember a corpse, that easily cuts through the outer skin, cuts through the peritoneum, pulls out the contents and turns them into countless fragments, sucking into a dark abyss with no end in sight.
"The Blue Fox Squad calls the command center...... Blue Fox Squad Call Command Center ......"In the dilapidated cockpit, the speakers of the communication system echoed with slightly distorted cries for help.
The sinking of 12 landing craft is not the end, but the beginning. After the rapid oscillating gravitational wave disappeared, three breaths, a huge suction force bursting from the ruins to the depths engulfed the action team, and at the same time, it broke through the earth's crust at the speed of light, constructing an extremely large gravity well, enveloping the fan-shaped area at an altitude of hundreds of thousands of kilometers above the wandering planet.
Gravitational storms are not like volcanic eruptions, they are not like tsunami crushes, they do not have a spectacular or majestic prelude. Almost immediately at the deputy commander of the Hüdra Corps, Woolf? The moment Keith received the warning, the gravitational storm had already reached the airspace where more than 2,700 warships were located, turning into a huge gravity well that narrowed downward, bringing all warships into the scope of influence.
Many people didn't have time to react, the tail thruster was still in low-power mode, and the huge hull accelerated forward under the action of gravity, like a tornado that carried up the scattered gravel on the ground, and the remnants of the Phantom fleet bore the brunt of it, leaning slightly and falling towards the sinkhole, and the emergency activated auxiliary injector sprayed blue fire, but it was powerless to resist the suction.
"How so? Why is this happening! "Woolf? Keith's strikingly scarred face hides shock and helplessness under the fortitude. He is not a waste, how can he be a waste to be the deputy commander of the Xudra Legion. But in the face of this kind of power that human beings can only look up to and pray, strategy, skill, martial arts, etc., it has no effect.
What is called one force down ten times, this is called one force down ten times!
Just imagine how magnificent and magnificent the scene of more than 2,000 warships, wrapped in gravitational storms, rushing slowly and quickly towards the huge black hole on the ground of the wandering planet.
It takes a process to move from relative stationary to high-speed travel, and some captains try to reverse the ship's attitude, facing the sinkhole with the stern of the ship, while overloading the tail thruster group, hoping to get away from the pull of the wandering planet.
Some ships did it, but many more didn't, especially the bulky ones. Most of the small warships that managed to turn were in the forefront, so most of them were smashed head-on by the large warships that failed to turn around in the rear, like two dirt slabs colliding together, splashing countless steel shards at the same time, with explosions and flames, distorting, flipping, and then accelerating to fall.
The stern thrusters of the small ships that were not hit burst into flames, and they flew forward for some distance, some even dodging several large ships that flew in front of them, which showed how skilled the pilots of the Hurdra Legion were.
It's just a death throes, and the engine thrust bursts far less than the gravitational increase below, so they fly at first, then run, then climb, and finally go backwards. Some propulsion systems malfunctioned, exploded with a bang, were attracted by the continuous suction, became a member of the wreckage stream, and turned away?
The bridge area of most of the remnants of the Phantom fleet was filled with howls, "Help us...... Who will save us...... Have mercy on your children, O God, and help them out of their suffering...... I want to live, I don't want to die...... Woowoowoo......"
They survived the battle with the 53rd Fleet, the battle with the ships of the Angel of Power, and the asteroid storm that swept through the airspace around the wandering planet. Unfortunately, they didn't survive this time.
In the end, the Xudra Legion is the elite force of the empire, even in the face of this insoluble situation in front of them, they are not crying like the soldiers of the local lord's fleet, they are full of nostalgia for life and sunshine, so they are unwilling, resentful, sad, and even pee their pants.
Before the explosion of the bridge, they shouted "For glory!" When the two ships collided, they shouted "Long live the Emperor!" As the gunpowder scorched their bodies, they overcame their pain with their wills and let out a hysterical roar, "Hudra mighty, Monya will win!" ”
Gravedigger Bridge, Woolf? Keith touched the narrow scar from the corner of his right eye to his lip, and smashed his left arm into the combat console, splitting the trackpad in half.
The flagship of the Children of War, the Apophis, is a half-ruin battleship, and the Gravedigger is also a half-ruin battleship. Possessing a strong communication jamming ability, it can increase your superiority by weakening the command ability of enemy ship groups. One can imagine how precious it is and how high its status is in the Xudra Legion. However, no matter how powerful its role is, no matter how strong its auxiliary ability is, it will become useless in the face of that monster that can devour everything.
Since the discovery of the wandering planet, Belek and Rockefeller have reported the situation here to Halifax, and later killed a Don captain halfway through the way and fought with the Phantom and the Golden Ring fleet. In order to be able to capture this strange planet with great scientific research value, and defeat Tang Fang at the same time. 13 His Royal Highness not only dispatched a regiment of Hüdra to guard him and the Ptolemaic space station, but also drew a regiment from the front to form a combined fleet of more than 2,500 warships.
The Gravedigger came to deal with the Angel of Power, but unfortunately Halifax did not expect that the Phantom Fleet and the Golden Ring Fleet encountered an asteroid storm, and only more than 100 of the two thousand-ship regular fleets survived. Of course, because of the existence of the ruins, he was determined to win the wandering planet, and Tang Fang and the others became secondary targets.
"Order the ships to activate their weapon systems and target the Ipsion Ruins...... Free Fire! "Woolf? Keith gave the order to attack with a cold face. He knew that Halifax was very fond of this ruin, and he was even more enthusiastic about the Epsilon people inside, who regarded it as the most precious thing in the world, and wanted to know it quickly.
13 The prince is carried away by interests, which does not mean that he is also carried away by interests...... No matter how much money you have, you have to spend it. In the face of the current situation, the first priority is to save the life of His Royal Highness, rather than thinking about the gains and losses of the relics.
Since the dark beast likes to eat, let it eat enough at once, let the flames and explosions fill its stomach, and as long as the ruins are destroyed, the gravitational storm will naturally disappear.
His eyebrows, the scars on his face, and the light in his eyes all show that the deputy commander is a fierce and brave general. He is indeed a general who has made meritorious contributions to countering the rebellion and has outstanding combat achievements. What is even more rare is that he also has a delicate heart, calm and calm, good at perceiving the weaknesses of his opponents, and has always been quick to plan in times of crisis, which can be described as both wise and brave, and won the trust and appreciation of Kirclough I.
Under such an order, those battleships that were attracted by the gravitational storm and fell quickly, like being captured by an invisible demon drilled out of the abyss, and pulled into the boundless darkness reacted one after another, and all kinds of magnetic rail weapons, missiles, torpedoes, laser cannons, and even nuclear warheads, one step faster, shot into the bottomless darkness.
It's frustrating...... No, it should be frightening that the projectiles and lasers fired by the magnetic rail weapon are like stones thrown into the quagmire, and there is no reaction, and those missiles, torpedoes, and nuclear warheads are dismembered into large and small pieces within a certain range of deep into the sinkhole, and a few explode, turning into torches to disperse the darkness in front and illuminate the Huangquan Road.
"How is that possible!" Not only Woolf, but even the bridge crew of the Gravedigger couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation. (To be continued.) )
