Chapter 398: Deep Space Fleet Next
Zhao Min was worried that the "Dawn Fortress" would not be able to bear it, but he didn't think about whether it was necessary - after all, Lu Yuan was dormant as soon as he was promoted, so Zhao Min didn't know what level Lu Yuan's strength had reached. In addition, Lu Yuan barely crawled out of the dormant warehouse when he was half-crippled this time, which increased the worry in the hearts of everyone in the Dawn Regiment - but although Lao Lu was a paraplegic, he was still a legendary mage high above him after all.
A legendary mage is originally full of ornaments from the chest down, so what does it matter if he is paralyzed or not. You must know that when it comes to the demigod lich stage, the mage only needs to keep a skull inlaid with gem teeth. Besides, there is a legendary magic tower in the "Dawn Fortress", and a legendary mage plus a legendary magic tower is almost equivalent to omnipotence.
Therefore, when the "New Elona" pulled the "Dawn Fortress" into the dark universe, as soon as the portal disappeared, the "Dawn Fortress" swallowed "Xinna" in turn, and then the entire fortress disappeared into the dimensional world. When the reapers in the cemetery woke up one after another, there was no shadow of the Dawn Fortress, let alone a siege.
Lu Yuan lightly commanded the magic tower to open the gap between the worlds and the subworlds, leaving a path that could accommodate the Dawn Fortress to move along the gap. I saw the Dawn sail all the way through the phantom Reaper ships and sail deeper into the dark world...... The walls of the dimension around them swallowed and squirmed like the throats of monsters, but they never touched the Fortress of Dawn.
Except for Lu Yuan holding a scepter to maintain his magic, the whole person was still floating in the bridge and laughing with a few sisters, and it seemed that it didn't take much magic at all.
"Why bother? If we hurry up and attack. Before all the Reapers wake up. Knock out at least a quarter of the Reaper. You wouldn't be surprised by this situation, would you? Nan Lixiang asked a little puzzled. At this point, "Xinna" was recovered by the fortress, and the crew also swarmed towards the fortress of dawn, and most of them went straight to the entertainment facilities. Only Minami Sayaka and Tsumiko Poison Island came to the bridge together.
"In order to save Ai Ziyou." Lu Yuan pointed to the front of the fortress, which was also the direction sent by Ai Ziyou's communication, and gestured, "If I fire the main cannon 'Dawn' in this direction, I will definitely destroy everything in front of me - then no matter where Ai Ziyou is imprisoned, I am afraid he will not escape death." ”
"But...... Just for a reaper? Ai Ziyou's mission has failed, how much value can it have? Lu Yuan's approach. Nan Lixiang couldn't accept it a little, but she felt that Lu Yuan, who had a bottom line and persistence, was very commendable.
"Because I promised him." Lu Yuan said. There was some arrogance in the tone of what she said, and Nan Lixiang was stunned for a moment when she heard it. Then he smashed him on the arm in a huff. It turns out that Lu Yuan means that Ai Ziyou may not be valuable, but my promise is very valuable! Could that be more annoying? Getting beaten is a must, who made you pretend to be X again.
"Look out the window!" The poison island on the side suddenly said. Let the sight of the two people who are engaged in small movements. Turned to the porthole together, and then surprised in unison...... Then there was silence.
"Actually, I've been thinking about ...... Catalyst used the corpse of the Leviathan to create the first reapers, and thus began the infinite reaping cycle; So what did he use to destroy the Leviathan Behemoth in the first place? Looking out the window, Lu Yuan couldn't help but say with emotion, "I think this is the answer." ”
Outside the window, countless Reaper warships, larger than the moon, appeared from the darkness in their shadows. The fortress is like suddenly breaking into the world of the Titans. The 75-kilometer-long Fortress of Dawn is like a firefly flying towards the moon compared to the giant reaper......
******
If only these giant ships, each of which were comparable to planets, could still move. The Catalyst's fleet should be invincible.
It's a pity that no matter how powerful a fleet is, there is an enemy that can never be defeated, and that is time. After 50 million years of erosion, these warships are now just huge shells with empty shapes...... Just by looking at it, Lu Yuan could see that most of the giant ships were already in tatters and ashes, and the interior was probably also collapsing inward under the action of its own gravity...... Over a longer period of time, these ships will gradually collapse into metal planets under the influence of gravity - the ultimate fate of almost all massive man-made celestial bodies - whether it is the Reaper or the Dawning City.
It's like a house that hasn't been lived in for a long time, and it will soon be barren and crumbling. Planet-class warships, which stand at the top of the entire world, require astronomical resources to build, as well as extremely expensive resources to maintain. The cost of maintenance far exceeds the cost of manufacturing, and the later it goes, the more expensive it becomes, until the cost outweighs the use value and is completely scrapped.
Organic life can use its own metabolism to constantly "renew" the body and keep it fresh. The Reaper ships are built with a combination of inorganic and organic materials for this reason. And the reason why the Citadel space station can maintain immortality for tens of millions of years is because of the maintenance of millions of nurse robots. However, these original Reaper ships were all made of metal, and there were no more robots to maintain them in the later stages. They may have been unstoppable across the galaxy, but they couldn't escape the power of time......
Now these warships can no longer be moved, and the "shells" they leave behind are used as the soul dwelling place of the reapers, and a large number of reaper infantry - such as banshees, giant elephants, corpse golems, and even gatherers and so on - these biological weapons made by the reapers, are discarded here at will, in the billions!
And the most unfortunate point is...... Communication signals show that Ai Ziyou happened to be locked up there.
*****
"I need to organize an elite squad of 4-6 people to go deep into the Star Battleship." Lu Yuan said floating around, he seemed to be getting more and more used to the days without legs...... An electronic board floated in front of him, and Lu Yuan wrote his name on it first. "I'm half paralyzed now, and it's very inconvenient to use a sword, so I'll be an algorithmist." Lu Yuan positioned himself as an auxiliary and remote output - he didn't realize that most of the book was over, and he, the "mage" who had been rushing to the front to cut people, was still "doing his job" for the first time.
"Count me in, swordsmanship, submachine guns." Poison Island said. Lu Yuan wrote, "Poison Island Tsuko, commando." ”
"Sniper." Nan Lixiang said that this is her old job, there is no doubt.
"May I?" Tully. Zola raised his hand, "I can follow you in a chariot and command robots...... If you come across an electronic device, you can also leave it to me. Lu Yuan nodded, after all, it was an assault inside a battleship, and technical experts were necessary. Lu Yuan wrote, "Tully. Zola, support. ”
"One, two, three, four," Lu Yuan counted, Poison Island belongs to the type of swordsman, and his ability to attack tough problems is not strong, and he really can't take care of it before and after. "We also need a player who is strong enough to crush everything that stands in his way...... Ha, as soon as I say that, a person comes to mind. Lu Yuan said with a smile, he dialed the remote communication through the magic tower, "Youxiang, there is a big killing battle here......
Before he could finish speaking, the next moment, the space in the middle of several people was torn apart by two slender hands.
Kazami Yuuka, who had just stepped on the deck of the Dawn Fortress, after Lu Yuan's introduction, ignored Tsuinko and Nan Rika, but said a large series of words full of various discrimination casually to Miss Tali's flat expression.
"In the beginning, we only called those with yellow skin and black eyes humans, and then black skin and white skin were also added, and then even red skin could be considered human...... But now you want me to admit that this guy who looks like Suwako Tsuya is also human?! So what are all the youkai in our Gensokyo? ”
"Ahem~" Lu Yuan was choked and coughed - hey! People leak Ya Suwako Lori is very beautiful, okay! Very popular with perverts and uncles. And ...... "Don't cry, Tully, we didn't think you were ugly, and Garrus liked you...... Why are you crying louder? ”
After a period of physiological adaptation, Tali the Quarian. Miss Zola was finally able to remove her helmet from her living quarters. And then...... There is no then. When she revealed her true appearance, the large number of human engineers who had surrounded her in the past was suddenly reduced by more than half. Although even from a human point of view, Tali's face can be said to be delicate. But first of all, ignore the quarians' blue-gray skin...... Oh, and secondly, ignore the symmetrical natural stripes that run across the cheeks on the face...... Well, except for those who are curious, I'm afraid there are not many people who can accept it.
"Even the red light is more popular than me!" Tully burst into tears.
Oh, how can you compare to a red light? Since the fusion of the core, Red Light has become both male and female, offensive and acceptable, and has a large group of fans on the Dawn.
"As soon as you came, you ran away from my support soldiers." Lu Yuan said angrily to Feng Mixiang.
"I don't need support." Youxiang said indifferently, and his eyes had already turned to the rows of weapons that appeared in front of him, and Lu Yuan bowed.
"This looks good." Her small crystal hand leaped over the "Broadsword" shotgun and grabbed the "Vulcan Cannon" heavy machine gun that was placed behind the shelf with one hand. When she hung the bullet box on her forearm and gently flicked the switch, the sound of the motor spinning suddenly made the adrenaline level rise.
"Well, I love this big gun!"
"It's good if you're happy." Lu Yuan said helplessly. What else could he say? You can only cross out the word "assault soldier" after Kazami Yuka's name and replace it with "heavy fireman".
So this commando, which looked like a mess of matches, was formed.
