Whether it was the mercenaries of the Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Group, or the explorers such as Schroeder and Qi Ying, when they saw the battleship of the Steelmane Empire appear, they all panicked and wanted to be broken!

Qi Ying originally wanted to save some combat power for himself, but he couldn't take care of it at the moment, so he raised his hand and hit another cold ice rosary to freeze the last dozen rock giants, helping everyone solve them as quickly as possible.

"Look at the good things you've done!" Qi Ying was furious and scolded Schroeder.

Schroeder lifted the outer mask of the helmet, revealing a handsome and stylish face, but at this time his face was full of unspeakable regret and chagrin, and he said: "I have obviously dumped them......"

"This is a warship of the Steelmane Empire, and it is not a civilian spaceship, can you get rid of it with your expedition ship?" Qi Ying asked relentlessly.

Schroeder also has a temper, his face is getting more and more ugly, and his ship has just been shot down, and the results of decades of painstaking operation have been ruined, and even the crew is only three, and he almost became a bare-bones commander. He said with a calm face: "So I did something wrong to take the risk to save you?" ”

Qi Ying's expression was stunned, and she couldn't speak.

But in her heart, she thought that what Schroeder said on the surface sounded good, and there was a good chance that he was still coming for the ruins of super civilization, but she knew that as soon as this sentence was spoken, it would completely tear her face.

"You two don't talk nonsense." Zhuang Xiaolin looked impatient, and asked Schroeder, "How many warships are chasing after the Steelmane Empire?" ”

"There's only one." Schroeder's answer made everyone's hearts feel a little relieved, he looked at Zhuang Xiaolin in front of him, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhuang Xiaolin didn't have the heart to answer, and instructed the mercenaries: "Collect the Sun Crystal Nucleus." ”

The mercenaries retracted their gaze and dispersed, one by one taking out glass test tubes and rummaging through the surrounding piles of rubble. More than 500 rock giants were killed in this battle, and most of their cores were frozen, making them temporarily impossible to dive underground, making them easy to collect.

Schroeder and his three crew members are all confused, it's all at this time, what the hell do these mercenaries still have time to do?

"Bring it." Zhuang Xiaolin stretched out his hand towards Qi Ying.

Qi Ying reluctantly took out the tiny sun crystal nucleus and handed it to Zhuang Xiaolin, glaring at Schroeder fiercely, making Schroeder feel inexplicable.

A few minutes later, the mercenaries skillfully completed the loot collection and fused all the sun crystal nuclei together and handed them to Zhuang Xiaolin.

At this time, Schroeder had already learned the value of the solar crystal nucleus from Qi Ying, and looking at the glass test tube in Zhuang Xiaolin's hand, his breathing unconsciously became a little heavier.

Zhuang Xiaolin put away the solar crystal nucleus and looked up at the sky, at this moment, the battleship of the Steelmane Empire was getting closer and closer to the planet, and he could already roughly see the outline.

"Meteor-level battleship!"

The Earth Federation and the Steelmane Empire are mortal enemies, having fought five centuries of war, and both sides have a deep understanding of the enemy's military equipment, and it only takes a glance to recognize the classification of warships.

The Federation adopts a common interstellar warship classification system, roughly divided into meteor star, planetary and stellar according to the power and tonnage of the battleship, the vast majority of the Federation's warships are meteor star, and the planetary-class battleships are less than one percent, as for the stellar-class warships, the Federation cannot reach the point of manufacturing stellar-class warships either technically or economically, so there is none.

Among the two major levels of meteor star and planetary level, there are some subtle levels and models that are different, and the uses are also slightly different, and there are many names, which are difficult for ordinary people to remember clearly except for warship experts.

The history of the Steelmane Empire is longer than that of the Federation, and they also use the interstellar common warship classification system, but there is no distinction between ship types, all warships are multi-functional and comprehensive, and are no longer subdivided into battleships, cruisers, frigates, etc., battleships are battleships, only the difference between power and tonnage.

Although the Steelmane Empire entered the interstellar age as early as 8,000 years ago, they also did not have the ability to create stellar-class wars, and like the Federation, they mainly used meteor-class warships, and a small number of planetary-class warships, but the proportion was a little higher.

The battleship that appeared in space was also a meteor star, looking boxy, with a length of more than 700 meters, a height of more than 300 meters, a visual tonnage of more than one million tons, a dark body, and a rough and concise overall shape, like a large angular stone, with a completely different appearance and style from a Federation warship.

This battleship is obviously more than a step stronger than the cruisers of the Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Regiment.

Schroeder's Silver Leaf spaceship crashed with a single blow from it, and its power can be seen.

However, after destroying the Silver Leaf, it also triggered the planet's counterattack, and the huge laser ray directly pierced the battleship, losing most of its combat effectiveness.

Zhuang Xiaolin looked at the battleship coldly and said, "Don't worry about it, let's go, full speed ahead." ”

The team set off again, approaching the North Pole, Schroeder and the others did not know why, but they did not dare to stay alone, so they could only follow the team.

A few hours later, the crowd was less than a hundred kilometers from the North Pole.

However, the battleship of the Steelmane Empire is also in sight, entering the high-altitude orbit of the planet, it maintains a distance of three thousand kilometers from the cruiser of the Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Regiment, and the Federation cruiser has no fear, standing still, it seems that it does not take this enemy in its eyes at all, but only raises the energy deflection shield, and does not even bother to do evasive actions.

After observing for a while, the battleship of the Steelmane Empire finally couldn't hold back and opened fire again.

Its main gun was destroyed, and it could only be attacked with the secondary cannon facing the cruiser's side, and four thick blue laser cannons were fired, and hundreds of missiles were released at the same time, accelerating wildly, dragging a long tail flame, like a swarm of meteors flying towards the cruiser in space.

The four laser cannons accurately hit the cruiser, and the energy deflection shield rippled and fluctuated violently, and finally carried this wave of attacks.

With one more salvo, the energy deflection shield will be broken and the cruiser will surely die!

However, there is no next time.

Four larger, thicker red lasers appeared out of thin air, piercing through the shields and armor of the steelmane imperial warship with a single breath, piercing through the other side with a devastating force. It was already badly wounded, and it could no longer withstand such a heavy blow, its internal explosions continued one after another, it lost power, and under the pull of the planet's gravity, the million-ton warship suddenly disintegrated and fell from a high-altitude orbit.

At the same time, more than 100 missiles that had just been launched exceeded Mach 7 and triggered frequent laser launches, which were detonated less than 300 kilometers away, setting off a fireworks in space.

"Hahaha, that's great......"

Everyone on the ground cheered when they saw this scene, and no one could have imagined that the warship of the Steelmane Empire would actually kill itself and be wiped out by this strange planet in the blink of an eye.

The stone that was originally pressing on everyone's hearts moved away, and they couldn't help but laugh heartily.

But it didn't take long for everyone to stop laughing.

Because after the disintegration of the battleship of the Steelmane Empire, it fell in the direction of the North Pole, looking up at the sky, as if a huge meteor shower had fallen, and countless fragments of the warship entered the atmosphere, rubbing heat and fire, rumbling, and smashing into the ground like a meteorite. Mixed among the debris were thousands of escape pods, which were manned by steel-maned orcs, who, judging by the angle of their fall, would land within a radius of hundreds of square kilometers near the North Pole.

"This ......" The crowd was stunned, stunned by this unexpected change.

"Let's go!"

Qi Ying reacted and shouted: "These fragments and steel-maned orcs will alarm the solar crystal nuclei of the entire Arctic, and it will be too late if you don't leave now." ”

Everyone woke up one after another, and hurriedly increased their speed, striving to complete the 100-kilometer journey before the steel-maned beast landed.

Running all the way, no matter how many solar crystal nuclei will be awakened, let a large number of rock giants chase after him, and only run towards the North Pole.

A moment later, one after another fragmented meteorites and a large number of escape pods slashed across the sky overhead, smashing into the ground with a deafening explosion, the earth roared, countless rock giants emerged from the ground, and one by one the lava giants stood up from the magma river, wielding stone hammers everywhere to search for targets.

This made the hearts of the people on the run tremble, and they would rather fight the steel-maned orcs than face the attack of the lava giants.

Xin Lonely followed everyone wildly, telepathy quickly scanned around, and suddenly a palpitation surged into his heart.

He subconsciously looked up, and saw a huge fragment of the battleship bombarding down towards the location of the team, with a mass of at least more than 1,000 tons, and a dozen escape pods a few kilometers behind the fragments, the speed was slightly slower, far below Mach 7, so the laser ray was not triggered.

"Watch your head!"

Xin Lin couldn't help but remind loudly that if he was hit by this fragment, no more than five people would be present who would survive.

When everyone looked up, they were immediately frightened and turned pale.

At this time, he couldn't run back, and there were hundreds of rock giants chasing behind him, Zhuang Xiaolin pointed to a low hillside to the west and shouted, "Run over there." ”

Everyone ran to the hillside without looking back, and as soon as they dodged down the slope, the battleship debris fell to the ground.

Bang!

A loud bang echoed through the heavens and the earth, like the end of the world.

The terrifying impact energy exploded, the power was comparable to that of a small nuclear bomb, releasing light and heat, bringing up a shock wave more than ten meters high, sweeping in all directions like lightning, and the surrounding rock giants fell down in large swaths like cutting wheat, but helped everyone clean up a trouble.

Everyone hiding behind the hillside was disgraced, but fortunately, the hillside blocked more than ninety percent of the impact, and no one was injured.

Ten seconds later, the ground shook again, and one escape pod after another landed around.

In the dust and flames in the sky, tall and strong figures jumped out of the escape pod, their height was at least two meters two, their bodies were covered with thick metal armor, but they were not wearing helmets, revealing their hideous faces, their facial features were rough like apes, and their short and thick nostrils were covered with respirators, and they roared wantonly.

Steel-maned orcs!

They spotted the humans behind the hillside at a glance, shouted angrily, their eyes bloodshot, raised their weapons and charged towards the hillside without hesitation.
