Chapter Eighty-Three: Atomic Ants!
Not so long ago, the orbit within the Rhine galaxy.
The sudden explosion of a cargo ship kicked off the Earth Federation's battle to regain territory.
The explosion was a mammoth-class cargo ship, judging from the cargo ship registration information, it belonged to the Republic of Fermis which was very far away from the Pang Xin Empire, and the cargo was expensive Labdoli alloy.
The border fleet of the Pang Xin Empire never dreamed that this cargo ship from such a distant place and all the registration procedures seemed to be impeccable, would be a bomb ship of the Earth Federation.
God knows how the Hidden Star Legion got this cargo ship from so far away!
In short, the Pang Xin Empire was defenseless and released this cargo ship, which didn't look like a hostile force at all, and then, the cargo ship was remotely detonated in the center of the Rhine galaxy, close to the star.
Thundered~
The blue electromagnetic shock wave quickly swept across the entire Rhine galaxy at an astonishing speed!
Immediately after that, a group of ultra-small frigates shaped like ants leaped out of the rubble belt on the outer edge of the Rhine galaxy and slammed into the orbit of the galaxy!
Just in the first three minutes of the start of the war, the number of ultra-small frigates gathered from all directions reached a staggering 1,200! And as time goes by, more warships are still rushing to the battlefield like swarms, jumping faster than light.
This is the Hidden Star Legion!
The most hidden and secret existence under the command of the Earth Federation.
Only the Hidden Star Legion can quietly make such an amazing big move!
As the last legion formed by the Earth Federation, the Hidden Star Legion was established after the Seven Expeditions of Rhine, and their main goal was to prepare for the Earth to one day regain its lost territory.
For more than a thousand years, the Hidden Star Legion has never stopped scouting and infiltrating the Rhine system, and they are familiar with every building in the Rhine system, every tree and every weed on the planet.
It is precisely because of this unremitting efforts and accumulation over the past thousand years that the Hidden Star Legion was able to gather powerful combat power in such a short period of time after receiving the general attack order, and hid one after another Atomic Ant-class stealth frigates in the outer periphery of the Rhine Galaxy.
It was a huge fleet composed of thousands of stealth frigates, such a large army, hidden under the nose of the enemy, the defense fleet of the Rhine system did not even notice it, I have to admit that the Hidden Star Legion is really a master of the master in the secret operation.
"OMG!"
"No, it won't!"
"What is this?"
At this moment, in Pang Xin's fleet, there is no shortage of exclamations like this.
They watched as the atomic ants swarmed into the Rhine system to activate the galaxy's defenses, only to find that the electronic equipment had been completely destroyed in the electromagnetic storm created by the Hidden Star Legion.
What was detonated was a super electromagnetic hurricane bomb, and the shock wave generated was enough to destroy the electronic equipment of the entire Rhine galaxy at 95 percent!
Curiously, the Hidden Star Legion seems to have succeeded, destroying most of the Rhine system's electronics, leaving the system's defenders deaf and blind.
However, the Hidden Star Legion's atomic ant swarm did not land in the Rhine system as originally planned, further destroying the living force of the Pang Xin Imperial Army and taking over the land defense of the twenty-seven planets.
More than 4,000 atomic ants scattered in the Rhine system, nervously waiting and guarding.
For more than a month, the fighters on the Atomic Ant-type stealth frigate have hidden themselves in the rubble belt, waiting for so long, enduring the torment of loneliness, in order to make the blue flag of the Earth Federation flutter again in the Rhine galaxy at this moment?
But at this last moment, when they had already succeeded, why did they stay where they were?
Could it be that there is something special that is not known to outsiders?
......
The Hidden Star Legion invades the fleet, Atomic Ant One.
In the command room of this ultra-small frigate, there stood an old man with a gloomy face.
He did not wear the uniform of the Earth Federation, but the armor of a warrior.
The Hidden Star Legion is an existence that carries out secret missions, and is never in the official sequence of the Earth Army.
The names of the members of the Hidden Star Legion will never be displayed in the internal files of the Earth Army, and even if they die, the Earth Army will not issue any announcements, and such a legion that is invisible in the entire galaxy and does not exist will naturally not have any military uniforms.
This silver-haired old man's name is Rod, and he is the leader of the Hidden Star Legion.
"Commander, here! They're coming! The radar system has detected a faster-than-light jump signal, and the signal source fluctuates violently, it is the Golden Earl! The radar system operator nervously reported.
"Inform all members of the fleet that once the Golden Earl enters the Rhine system, it can attack freely!" Rhodes looked at the dark starry sky outside the command room and ordered in a deep voice.
"Understood!"
Bang~
A few seconds later, close to the main star of the Rhine system, a white dazzling light suddenly rose, and as the faster-than-light jump ended, a massive battleship appeared on the radar screen.
This is a dreadnought-class battleship with a length of fifty-seven kilometers, and in the galaxy, the dreadnought-class battleship has another more vivid name, the Star Destroyer.
Yes, the dreadnought-class battleship is different from an aircraft carrier full of combat drones, it is a pure gunboat, with three super main guns with powerful destruction capabilities, and only twelve salvos are needed to completely smash a planet the size of the Earth into slag.
The Golden Earl is the big trouble that the Hidden Star Legion is in.
Just twelve hours before the operation began, it was spotted by the Hidden Star Legion's outer reconnaissance ship, and the dreadnought was approaching the Rhine system, with electronic surveillance indicating that it was about to resupply the Rhine system.
In any galactic country, the movement of large warships is a top-secret military situation, just as the Pang Xin Imperial Army will not know the location of the main battleship of the Earth Army, and the Hidden Star Legion did not expect that at this juncture, there will actually be a dreadnought-class battleship that will dock in the Rhine system.
Supposedly, the safest tactic is to wait for the giant to leave the Rhine system before the Hidden Star Legion acts.
But war is not something that a single person or a certain legion can decide, the Hidden Star Legion can wait, but the headquarters can't afford to wait, and the compatriots in the Rhine system can't afford to wait, and any little delay will lead to great variables in the entire campaign.
So, Rhodes gave the order to carry out according to the original plan, he already knew that he would encounter this terrible enemy on the battlefield, and he already knew what a terrible price he would have to pay to destroy the Golden Earl, but he still decided that no matter how big the risk, the Hidden Star Legion would fulfill his duty.
came, after losing contact with the Rhine Galaxy, the Golden Earl suddenly accelerated and rushed to the Rhine Galaxy, like an elephant, rushing into the ant array of the Hidden Star Legion.
Rhodes did not give any order to attack, and the frigate closest to the Golden Earl launched an attack on the behemoth.
In order to facilitate concealment and covert operations, the Atomic Ant stealth frigate of the Hidden Star Legion is the smallest model of all the warships of the Earth Federation, with a total length of only eighty-five meters, and its firepower is even weaker, with only two small-caliber main guns, four rapid secondary guns, and a set of small missile launchers.
Such fragile firepower, hitting the body of the Golden Earl dreadnought, is like an ant biting an elephant, unable to inflict any effective damage on it.
However, more than 4,000 atomic ants still rushed forward without hesitation, because the Hidden Star Legion knew that they were the only fleet in the vicinity, and even if the nearest Lanling battalion sent support, it would take twelve hours for the follow-up fleet to reach the Rhine system.
During this time, the only thing that the 15 billion compatriots in the Rhine system, the young and brave warriors of the Earth Army, can rely on them, 4,600 atomic ants, and 851,000 soldiers of the Hidden Star Legion.
The reason why the Hidden Star Legion did not log in immediately after destroying the electronic equipment of the Rhine system was precisely because they knew that before landing, there was a difficult battle waiting for them, and they had to destroy the Golden Earl, a huge threat, for their compatriots.
......
Pang Xin Empire, dreadnought, Golden Earl.
"What the hell is this?" Captain Laporta, looking at the small dots of black pressure around him, let out a question.
He had never seen such a small frigate, with a total length of only eighty-five meters, and its firepower was ridiculously weak, placed in the dark and endless background of the universe, like a swarm of insignificant ants.
"I don't know." The navigator shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said to the captain: "These small warships have no registration information, and I don't know which force they belong to. ”
"Look, those little ones are rushing up, and they're still shooting."
"There is a main gun? It's just that their firepower is too pitiful! ”
"I'll go, they use missiles so small? I've never seen it before. ”
"These guys aren't here to be funny, are they? With this bit of firepower, you dare to attack a giant ship like us? ”
The warriors aboard the Golden Earl expressed their disdain for the Atomic Ants of the Hidden Star Legion.
Communication still hasn't been established, Captain Laporta seems a little upset, and he doesn't know what happened to the Rhine system, as for the mosquito-like buzzing and atomic ants outside around him, it's even more annoying.
"Forget it, turn on the automatic fire, and kill these guys in one go!" Laporta frowned, waved his hand, and said.
Thundered~
The fully automatic cannon carried by the Golden Earl began to fight back, and the cannon fire rained down on the atomic ants that were rapidly approaching them.
Standing in front of the porthole, you can clearly see that firecrackers are set off in the dark space, and every time a Hidden Star Legion's atomic ant is shot down, a faint fire will ignite in the space.
Laporta felt a little disappointed, the size was too small, and the atomic ants were not even wonderful when they exploded, and there was really nothing to be honored with the firepower of his Golden Earl, slaughtering a group of small ants.
Hey?
But soon, Laporta frowned, and he suddenly realized that the frantic firepower of the Golden Count could not stop those little ants from approaching.
On the contrary, throughout the Rhine system, more and more little ants are approaching them at full speed!
A battleship is destroyed, and a new one is immediately on top!
This fierce fighting style is not like an ant, but more like a crazy man-eating ant!
Thundered~
Suddenly, something changed.
For some reason, the hull of the Golden Earl shook violently, and several soldiers sitting lazily in the command center were shocked from their chairs by the violent shock wave.
"What's going on!?" Laporta hurriedly asked out loud.
Judging from his combat experience, such an impact must have come from a huge ship of about the same tonnage as himself, but strangely, the radar operator did not give warning, and the enemy's large battleship could not be seen around at all.
"Captain, it's not good! We are under attack! I am under a suicide attack from the enemy! The radar operator shouted pale.
"What? You repeat!? Laporta snapped and asked again.
"It's a suicide attack! Those small frigates carried fusion detonators! Able to create an explosion on the scale of a hydrogen bomb! These damn guys, they're trying to die with us! ”
Swish~
Laporta, his face has changed dramatically!
Crazy people, these little ants, it's just a bunch of crazy people!
Putting a fusion detonator into such a small hull would not have been done by even the craziest guy in the galaxy!?
What do they want to do? What the hell are they trying to do!?
Another loud bang was heard, a red warning light lit up in the command room, and the suicide attack of the atomic ants began to show its crazy power, and the attack produced by the nuclear fusion explosion began to severely damage the Golden Earl, a supergiant ship with a length of fifty-seven kilometers.
One or two nuclear explosions, the Golden Earl may be able to withstand it, but look around, that's 4,600 atomic ants!
Such a quantity is enough to gnaw the elephant of the Golden Earl, and there are not even bone residues left!
"Urgent military intelligence! Headquarters emergency military intelligence! The Messenger shouted frantically, and he even jumped out of his chair in desperation, his eyes bigger than a light bulb.
"Under attack, the Imperial Castle Royal Castle system is under attack!" The communications soldier shouted in a hoarse voice.
Swish~
Laporta's face was like ashes, and cold sweat flowed down his face like a waterfall.
He grabbed the Telecom Soldier by the collar and lifted him up.
"Tell me clearly, who is the first star attacking!?"
"Earth Army!" The communication soldier said hoarsely: "A large number of fleets of the Earth Army have broken into the Royal Castle system!" A fierce exchange of fire with the Royal Guard! And, a minute ago, they had already officially declared war on the Empire! ”
Puff~
Laporta almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood!
The first star of the empire, the royal castle galaxy, which is sixteen days away from the border, is the core of the Pang Xin Empire!
It's so ruthless!
The Earth Federation is really ruthless!
The past seven Rhine wars were fought in the border areas.
And this time, the Earth Army didn't know what method to use, and directly drove the fleet to the door of the Pang Xin Empire!
Crazy earthlings, they are going to destroy the country directly!
