Chapter 559: What About Our Fleet?

The addition of the Phoenix Fighter and the Hive Insect Lord swept away the entire northern fort and defense facilities in a short period of time, and the siege tank team in the distance also regained its combat capability with the assistance of Nighthawk, advancing to the place close to the north gate, shooting blue plasma balls one after another into the core area, destroying various military facilities.

The still operational unmanned tactical platform immediately shifted the focus of attack to the Phoenix Fighter and the Nest Insect Lord, but it was a pity that the battlefield shape was too complicated, the Phoenix Fighter and the Nest Insect Lord appeared and disappeared in the smoke cloud, and the number chain system failed again, and with the "Bright Trial" whose power plummeted by more than half, it could not pose a threat to them at all.

Until another behemoth joined, the "Bright Judgment" was completely reduced to useless waste, and was shot down by Thor and Viking fighters one after another.

The Colossus is long overdue.

But just as the finale always appears at the last moment, the phase prism that has never appeared finally landed on the eastern front of the General's Palace, when the transmission prism swept across the low altitude and spread out a circle of starlight matrix, illuminating the entire east, the huge body of the colossus appeared in this world filled with gunpowder.

The soldiers who were still stubbornly resisting in the trench stopped firing one after another, staring blankly at the golden colossus, which was more than twice as tall as the electric tower of the shooting source, wondering if they were dreaming, rubbing their eyes again and again, until the circles under their eyes were red, and they could not wake up from their sleep, and some even sank into nightmare hell and could never wake up again.

The colossus didn't need to move at all, it just stood in place, the intersecting heat rays swept across the ground, and a Qiē fort and military facilities within the trajectory were wiped out, as if the temperature of the entire general's mansion had risen by a cut.

The collapse of the last radio source tower was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the morale of the garrison of the General's Palace fell to the bottom, and some people had already begun to flee, but ...... In the sky were Viking warplanes whizzing by. The flying dragon with a long roar and a phoenix with an elegant temperament.

On the ground, the main gate of the core area has been broken by the mixed army of humans, insects, and gods, and Viking fighters in the wolf and mecha modes are surrounded by small units such as puppies, fanatics, and machine gunners, and quickly pour into Harrington? The central unit where Harris is located.

The flames of wire missiles and railguns swept across the remaining defenders on the road, and siege tanks in the south of the city had driven into the wall. Crush the power armor scattered on the ground and blast one locomotive after another parked on the side of the road.

Predators and dogs jumped into trenches and bunkers, tearing the loyal soldiers to shreds, and the Protoss transports dropped six high-ranking Templars behind a row of bunkers under the roar of cannon fire from the central unit.

In the next second, the light of lightning illuminated the entire night sky, as if day and night were reversed.

Defense aircraft qì people, close defense batteries, pillboxes...... These small defensive units either burst into flames and explode under a highly overlapping lightning matrix, or their internal components are damaged and paralyzed.

Harrington? The ground command center where Harris is located is located in the central unit of the General's Mansion. It is the only building on the entire battlefield that has not collapsed, due to its heavy armor, which far surpasses that of Walrus-class battleships.

LIKEWISE, HE HAS SUPER-HEAVY WEAPONS SUCH AS THE 1400MM CALIBER ORBITAL CANNON THAT CAN DEFEND AGAINST ANY THREAT FROM THE SKY, AND EVEN BEHEMOTH, WHICH TRAVELS IN THE HIGH-ALTITUDE ORBIT OF THE "ARUMEGA", HAS BEEN TARGETED BY THEM.

"They" - means that such orbital cannons are not one, but a whole eight, which are distributed in four parts of the central unit in the form of a double assembly. Combined with the top-of-the-line super-heavy particle accelerator cannon, it can even carry out powerful attacks on large targets in outer space.

In addition to heavy weapons, the central unit of the General's Palace is also equipped with a large number of anti-infantry cannons, artillery, anti-vehicle missiles, light laser weapons, small magnetic railguns, suicide drone launch platforms and other weapon systems to deal with small and medium-sized targets on the ground and in the air.

And. There is a magnetic shield on the outside of the central unit, and when ordinary metal projectiles, missiles, and charged particle weapons are targeted, their power will be reduced by different degrees.

It's like an iron-clad tortoise covered in spikes, and anyone who tries to crack through the shell and eat the delicious meat inside will have a few bloody holes pierced into it, even if it's a big one like a colossus. IN THE FACE OF A SALVO OF 8 1400MM CALIBER ORBITAL CANNONS, I AM AFRAID THAT LIFE WILL NOT BE EASY.

There is also the super-heavy particle acceleration cannon at the top of the central unit, if you don't count the self-damage, it will be used to deal with the ground people, insects, and god armies, you can imagine what kind of scene it will be.

As the administrative center of the "Mubarak". Harrington? Where Grand Duke Harris works and lives, it is safer than military ports like "Rodnis" and "Rodnia", and its attack power is more powerful than that of the "Full Moon". Even if it's a nuclear-based orbital bombardment, don't try to wipe it off the ground unless you ...... An explosion of a fusion reactor complex beneath the northern district of the General's Mansion could trigger a powerful earthquake that could engulf it.

But this does not mean that the people inside will die, however, the people outside will definitely die, such as the ground forces of the three races of people, insects, and gods.

Therefore, the Tang side did not dare to do this, just like those cockroaches that attacked the underground facilities, and they were only for occupation, not destruction.

…………

Edison? When Jin rushed to the ground command center with a few henchmen, he found that dimness and desertion were the only main colors here.

All the lights on the ceiling were turned off, and the staff in charge of operating the electronic devices were not there, except for an old man with a calm expression sitting on the high-backed chair, a symbol of power and status, gently stroking the Harris family's sword and shield ornament on the armrest of the chair with his right hand, and gently kneading his temples with his left hand to relax his spirit.

The only source of light in the hall was the huge electronic screen in front of the high-backed chair, and the light reflected a blue color on his face.

Harrington? Harris sat there, from the time Edison entered the door to the time he walked in front of him, his expression unchanged, neither showing the decadence, disappointment, sluggishness, confusion, confusion, anger, sorrow, hysteria that a defeated general should have...... The expression is very calm, like the smoke of gunpowder has dissipated, the flames of war have been annihilated, and the peaceful "Akuias" lake has been restored.

Edison's expression was the opposite, his eyes fell on the big screen, his eyes were full of horror and disbelief,

He knew that the situation out there was bad, and he also knew that the situation on the space battlefield was not good, but he didn't expect it. The defense in the G-00 zone will be easily penetrated by the opponent. The high-altitude orbit of "Arumega" has almost become a graveyard, and the wreckage of a large number of warships and space-based batteries is scattered in all directions, some of them turn into fireballs and fall into the planet's atmosphere, and some make a circular motion around the orbit, and then crash into large pieces of debris and shatter them.

These are just backgrounds, and the real protagonist in the picture is a Poseidon-class aircraft carrier. Edison recognized it. That's Vic? Fred's car, the Eternal Night.

At this moment, it is being besieged by a group of slender golden fighters, like a takin hunted by wolves, tearing a piece of flesh from it with each attack.

Explosions spread across the deck, flames poured out through the cracks, and some of the aircraft emerged from the hangar, only to be exploded by the light bullets fired by the golden fighters before they could accelerate away, becoming the burial objects of the mothership.

"The 'Eternal Night'...... It's over......," Edison muttered in a low voice. His eyes were full of unbearability and sadness.

Despite the fact that Vic? Fred's personality is not very likable, and there were some quarrels between the two in the past, but after all, they have been colleagues for many years, have no brotherhood, and have some friendships, who would have thought that he would die like this...... Even at the last moments, there was not a single word.

Edison felt that to Vic? Fred's personality may be more than that of his family. Pay more attention to the safety of the Duke's life. And DuPont? Cataland's words, perhaps, will leave "For His Majesty." For the Empire. Such a bold statement.

"Huh, DuPont? Cataland? ”

He suddenly thought of one thing, DuPont? What about Cataland? Where did he go?

In other words, what about the First Fleet? What about the Tulip Fleet? And what about the garrison? And what about the battleship battle formations of the Second Fleet? What about the patrol fleet?

Obviously when he left the command room of the guard unit, Vic? Fred, Gandalf and the others also had back and forth with the enemy, how could it be in just a few minutes. In the end, the defense line was broken through by the opponent?

Even at the moment of life and death, he still did not lose his courtesy, put his hand on his shoulder, bowed slightly and said, "General, what about our fleet?" ”

Harrington? Harris seemed to be realizing his coming. Slowly removed the left hand that was covering his eyes, looked at him very calmly, and asked, "Are you afraid?" ”

He was slightly stunned, then came to his senses, shook his head slightly, with an expression of disbelief, and muttered, "I don't believe it...... Don't believe it...... How is this possible! ”

Although he had been mentally prepared, and even associated Tang Fang with the Ipsi Dragons and aliens, he still couldn't believe the one in front of him. Harrington? Harris's words were only three words, but he said everything he wanted to know.

The combat effectiveness of the garrison fleet + tulip fleet is comparable to that of a semi-conventional fleet; There are also 1000 warships of the First Fleet; The remaining strength of the battleship battle formation of the Second Fleet, together with the "Eternal Night" and its escort formation and sky-based defense facilities, is at least equivalent to a semi-conventional fleet in combat effectiveness;

Taken together, these are enough to rival 4 or 5 regular fleets of 1,000 ships, and that's it? In just ten minutes after he left the command room of the guard unit, prepared the "Star Shuttle", and hurried to the ground command center, he actually penetrated that kid? This is only in dreams...... No, how can something that doesn't even appear in a dream happen?

The few relatives behind him didn't dare to speak, but they couldn't help but look at each other, reading the puzzlement and shock in their eyes.

The Duke would never lie to anyone in such a matter, and what is happening on the big screen is the most direct evidence.

Harrington? Harris asked a second time, "Are you afraid?" ”

Edison? Kim said, "Don't be afraid...... As long as the general is still around, there is nothing to fear. ”

This is not a compliment, but a heartfelt word!

Harrington? Harris doesn't need compliments, and now is not the time to say them. The man sitting in the high-backed chair, although he likes to be called a general, never personally directs a specific battle, compared to Dupont? Cataland, Vic? A general like Fred, he is better at sitting in the middle of the army, holding up the sky like an Optimus Prime.

As long as he is still alive, the Legion of Doom will not lose its fighting spirit and courage.

Edison knew that this was called charisma, as if now, it was clear that the fall of "Mubarak" was imminent, even if he knew that the Legion of Doom would be yesterday's flower from now on. However, in the face of the Duke with a calm face, he did not feel that his eyes were gloomy, and he still had hope and the courage to fight.

People always have to fight for something, they always have to live for a certain goal. Harrington? Harris is the soul and pillar of the entire Legion of Doom, as long as he doesn't fall. The hearts of the generals will not be cold, and the hands of the soldiers holding guns will not tremble, this is the leader.

The difference between a handsome and a general is nothing more than that.

"Aren't you afraid? I'm afraid. ”

Harrington's voice was not high, like an old friend's greeting, but it was heard in Edison's ears. But it was like a big drum was pounding in my ears.

Edison couldn't understand why the Duke would say such a thing, because it didn't match his character, how could the wise and martial Duke have such a feeling of "fear"?

He is not one of those lazy and lazy mediocre nobles in the Sulu Empire, he is a real pillar of a country, an important minister of the country, he ...... How could he say the word "afraid"?

"Because you don't know how to be afraid, I have to learn to be afraid. People who don't know how to be 'afraid' can never become strong, the same goes for them. A fearless army can never become an invincible army. ”

Edison was not a young man, so he did not refute, did not ask, but fell into deep thought, and then fell silent.

Harrington? "So, there's no shame in being afraid, especially when you're facing an irresistible opponent who shatters your confidence and dependence," Harris said. ”

"Know how to be afraid. Being able to face up to 'fear' is the first step that needs to be taken to upgrade a talent to a handsome talent. ”

"It's a pity...... I was not afraid when Albert's messenger came. He was not afraid when he sent the First Fleet to sweep 'Dillard', and when he attacked the door with a living warship, he was still not afraid, but laughed at the boy for being reckless...... By the time I really started to get scared, alas, it was too late......"

"I'm getting old......"

He was like a drunken man at the dinner table, babbling about the wrong things he had done in the past. Not a duke at all.

If you follow the general law of script development, like Harrington? A frontier general like Harris should be more heroic and generous, he is an important minister of a country, and he is in a high position. Enjoy the wealth and glory, there should be no regrets.

Edison didn't understand, he didn't understand, and he looked directly at the man in the high-backed chair, watching the light on the big screen jump on that face full of vicissitudes and weather.

In fact, he was very happy, excited, and repulsed to hear the Duke speak his heart, because that person was more like a familiar old friend, and no longer the calm and wise imperial minister of the past.

It was very unaccustomed to him.

The battle on the big screen was drawing to a close, and Behemoth's massive body swam slowly in the "Arumega" orbit, like a docile whale.

Only those who have lived through this battle will know that it is not a docile whale at all, but a ferocious wild shark that is simply accustomed to putting away its claws to confuse its prey, or rather...... That's what the kid is used to.

The light on the big screen faded as the Eternal Night had completely sunk into a mass of cold metal.

Edison was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the wreckage of the "Eternal Night" on the big screen, took off his military hat and held it in the palm of his hand.

Is he going to Vic? Fred salute, and DuPont? Cataland, and Emerson? Lewis, and Gandalf, and Lin Siyuan...... They are all heroic martyrs of the empire and role models for soldiers.

Just as the generals of the Covenant swore to fight for their country, they chose to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. For a real soldier, there is no superiority or inferiority, just a difference in position.

Edison? Kim never prided himself on being an aristocrat, and he identified more with being a soldier than him.

Harrington continued, "I know what you're thinking. ”

He stood up from his high-backed chair and walked down the steps to the big screen to look up at the battlefield of space, his gaze as if through the flashes of artillery fire and explosions, through the floating wreckage, and on the distant background of stardust and clouds of varying colors.

"I am a person, not a benchmark, there will also be nostalgia, there will be regrets......"

Edison knew what he was nostalgic for, because Lord Duke only cared about one person, and as for the Harris family, it was more of a responsibility than a nostalgia.

Edison also knew what he was regretting, because the Duke had no children, and his only son died in "Delcut" at the age of 19, which became the most regrettable thing in his life.

There was a rush and chaos of footsteps in the hallway, which was heard very well because the room was quiet.

After a few breaths, the security door opened, and a tired Susan walked into the command center with several soldiers.

Edison was not only loyal, but also caring, and on the way to the ground command center, he sent another team of men to pick up Susan from the Duke's bedchamber, although this would disturb her sleep, but at this existential stake, there was no longer so much to manage.

"General, the Star Shuttle is in place, please leave here quickly with Miss Susan."

Harrington turned, his eyes falling on Susan's face, and he was silent for a long time.

The four eyes intersected, and there were never thousands of feelings contained in them like countless infatuated resentful women who faced death, calm and indifferent.

Susan raised her hands and gestured to her chest.

Harrington nodded, not speaking, not moving.

The battle outside became more and more intense, and the sound of artillery faintly reached the command center, and even the ground trembled slightly.

Edison didn't know what the two had just communicated, seeing that the Duke was unmoved, he was more anxious than anyone else, he hoped that Harrington would live, that was his duty, and it was also his honor. (To be continued......)
