Chapter 788: Fall
Those battleships made of purple crystals were back to their original state again!
An air of despair hung over the crew of the Saarland fleet, and they had a strong premonition that they might not be able to return.....
When the Assimilator's ship was restored, the Crystal Shard cannonballs, which had been out of service, began to work again, burrowing into the interior of the Thrall ship.
This time there was not so much time left for the Thrall family, and the Sal family's warship only had time to fire another salvo, and those crystal shards drilled through the armor of their battleship!
The crystal shards pierced through the ship's outer armor and vanished.
This was a great relief to the soldiers and officers of the Thrall family, and now it seemed that the only damage to their ship was the dense holes in its shell.
However, there is also a corridor on the inside of the battleship, which can be isolated separately, so these holes do not affect them too much.
But if the assimilator's attack were just that simple, the Empire, the Sith Alliance, and the Zerg wouldn't have been driven around.
If you look at these Saar battleships from the outside, you will find that the original white hull of the battleship has completely changed to a different look.
Purple crystals had completely covered the entire outer surface of the ships and were still seeping inside.
Although the penetration rate seems to be very slow due to the high density of the armor, don't forget that the crystal cannonball has countless holes through it.
These holes lead directly to the interior of the battleship!
As time passed, the bulkheads around the holes began to slowly transform into purple crystals, followed by bulkhead doors.... Until the next cabin.
Naturally, the metal used to separate the compartments in the battleship could not be made of excessively dense metal, which would be too costly.
The internal structure of the battleship using normal alloys allows these crystals to spread extremely quickly.
A few minutes later, a patrolling soldier was the first to spot the anomaly.
The hatch in front of him began to turn into purple crystals little by little! He could even see through the crystal on the other side of the door!
Driven by curiosity, the soldier ghostly touched the purple crystal that was spreading on the door.
The crystal that was only on the surface of the hatch suddenly jumped into the soldier's hand the moment the soldier touched it.
The soldier didn't notice it at first, and it wasn't until he couldn't feel the presence of his palm that he realized something was wrong when he raised his hand.
But at this time, his palm had completely turned into a purple crystal state, and it was still spreading upwards rapidly!
"Don't, don't!" The soldier turned and ran in panic, trying to escape to the ship's infirmary, which might have a way to turn his arm back.
But he didn't know what his move meant, and if he had chopped off his arm when he had just been assimilated, he might still have a chance to survive.
But as he ran violently, blood mixed with crystal shards quickly flowed through his body.
The pace of running became slower and slower, until finally the soldier stopped where he was, and his whole body had completely turned into a purple crystal!
As if given a new life, the soldier, who had been transformed into an assimilated man, stiffened his body and immediately turned and ran into the depths of the battleship.
It was only in the rest of the period that the soldiers and officers of the Thrall family truly experienced the fear of being dominated by the assimilators.
When the assimilated people who couldn't be killed by guns and couldn't be blown up poured out from the end of the corridor, the hearts of the soldiers responsible for defending the bridge were broken.
They could only subconsciously use the rifles in their hands to continuously strafe the incoming assimilated people.
But! To no avail, these assimilators had already assimilated most of the soldiers before rushing to the bridge, and the number of thousands was far from being able to stop the dozen or so soldiers guarding the bridge door.
Even if they were able to use ranged weapons, they would have no effect, they would only be able to smash the assimilates who rushed forward!
And the assimilated people behind them who were still pouring in like a tidal wave undoubtedly filled the officers on the bridge with despair.
A few minutes later, the soldiers guarding the gate of the bridge kept pulling the trigger in their hands with pale faces, but the only feedback from the rifles in their hands was the green click.
The rifles in their hands had just run out of ammunition, and even if the magazines of their rifles used spatial folding technology, they couldn't support such a horrific consumption.
"Keep firing! Don't stop! An officer shouted anxiously as he watched the assimilated people who continued to rush forward because they were no longer under attack.
"Long... Sir, we're out of ammunition! One soldier replied in despair.
No one would have thought that they would be able to use up all their ammunition in a matter of minutes, knowing that they were carrying enough ammunition to support them in a big battle!
"Damn it!" The officer gritted his teeth, drew his pistol from his waist, and frantically pulled the trigger on these rushing assimilants.
But the damage that the little pistol can do is very limited, even if he shoots the head, it is useless, these assimilants can continue to sprint forward without their heads.
"Nope! No! No! A few seconds later, there was a burst of screams from outside the bridge.
After a few breaths, the screams outside Cambridge gradually faded away, and it was clear that those soldiers were already more than lucky!
The officers on the bridge looked at each other, silently drew the pistols from their waists, and prepared to kill themselves.
Not long ago, the central main engine of this battleship has been assimilated, and not only that, because the shell of the battleship has been completely assimilated, and the escape ship and escape pod on the battleship are even more like nothing.
All of them are trapped inside this purple crystal coffin! You can't even detonate the battleship and kill the enemy together!
All systems except access control and life support systems went offline with the fall of the shipboard main engine, and they can't do anything to save it now.
After seeing the soldiers outside gradually turning into crystals, the officers decisively chose to kill themselves to end their lives.
They don't want to be those monsters out there!
Bang bang
Like these ships, the warship on which the head of the Thrall family was located did not escape its doom.
The head of the house, his retainers, and the officers were barricaded in the safe room of the battleship.
The head of the Sal family, dressed in a white robe, sat calmly in his seat.
The advanced technology controlled by their Thrall family is unknown, but they are helpless in the face of these assimilator warships that cannot be killed and can absorb energy!
