Staggered artillery fire, speeding through space.

Fortress of Dawn leaned over its body, facing the Reaper's blades, and counterattacked as it drove backwards in a clockwise direction. The brilliance of each salvo of 24 secondary guns on the side illuminates the skyline. "Boom Bang Bang ~", "Bang Bang Bang ~", this outdated disco rhythm brings about the destruction of hundreds of warships every minute.

And the Reaper capital ships, which still numbered more than 70,000 ships, evolved into a neat and beautiful double-column V-shaped formation like a number of columns!

The V-shaped formation was asymmetrical, with about 40,000 warships lined up on the front line near the Fortress of Dawn, weakening the fortress's shields with unhurried bombardment in a diagonal formation. They carefully maintained a 45-degree angle to the Dawn Fortress, neither deviating nor rushing forward - because the last time the Dawn Fortress fired from its main guns, the Reaper was very impressed - one-seventh of the capital ships were directly vaporized!

Therefore, the battleships of the Reaper formation tried to avoid the direction of the main guns of the Dawn Fortress, and the entire formation rotated with the retreating fortress clockwise. On the other hand, the Reaper capital ships, numbering about 30,000 units, have been trying to bypass the tail of the Dawn Fortress and flank the fortress left and right! However, the Fortresses of Dawn took advantage of the short distance on the inside line, so they never succeeded.

So the two sides patiently drew a circle of death - but obviously the Reaper fleet was faster, so that the whole formation was slowly approaching. The V-shaped battle formation was like an open mouth of blood—if the Dawn Fortress was bitten by it even a little mistake, then no matter how thick the shield. It can't withstand the attack of 70,000 warships! It seemed that by that time, all the efforts of the Dawn's side would be in vain......

Fighting 70,000 warships, the bursting light obscured almost the entire flank.

Commanders of the Fortress of the Dawn. Standing side by side in front of the porthole of the bridge, watching this rare sight in front of you. The fortress that has already set the strategy does not require them to interfere excessively, and the "Lady of Dawn" does a better job of controlling everything from the whole to the details. Meddling would make things worse, so much so that they, the participants in the war, are now left to sit idly by.

"The Deep Space Fleet is ready to jump at any time." Zhao Min's message was sent. Lu Yuan, who received the news, groaned for a moment. When everyone was looking at him, he turned his head to look at Ai Ziyou, who was standing side by side, and asked in a very serious tone without a beginning or an end - "Can I trust you?!" ”

Ai Ziyou stared into his eyes for a moment. Only then did he reply in the same formal tone, word by word, "You can!" ”

"Okay." Lu Yuan nodded and said into the air, "Allow the Deep Space Fleet to start jumping." ”

Fortress of Dawn stopped.

*****

The Deep Space Fleet wants to enter the battlefield quickly. This can only be done by jumping through the Mass Effect repeater. Otherwise, you have to sail slowly for several years.

The conditions for building and maintaining a massless passage to the dark world are quite demanding. First of all, it requires an extremely large amount of energy, and fortunately this requirement can be met by Dyson pits, which do not need to accumulate for many years like catalysts; Secondly, it is necessary to maintain stable coordinate points at both ends of the channel - because any change in the coordinate system may cause the fleets that are teleporting in the mass channel to change, and then be torn apart by the turbulence of the effect field.

So in order to create a passage, Fortress of Dawn can only temporarily stop clockwise navigation and activate the Mass Effect Core.

The reapers, simply overjoyed!

They are almost unthinking. The whole fleet pounced. If you slow down time, you can clearly see what happened in this second—Fortress of Dawn is making a difficult turn. She tried to use the threat of the main guns to stop the incoming ship; And the battle line that approached in the Reaper's double formation opened fire with all its might, regardless of it! At this time, just drag the Dawn Fortress and they win! Wait until the other side moves to the other side of the Dawn Fortress to flank and win!

In such a situation, it seems that it will withstand the main artillery fire of the Fortress of Dawn again...... Nor is it an unaffordable option. Reapers, such AI creatures, and the logic of their behavior depends on the core program. As a result, the Reaper always appears to be both independent and collective, and although each Reaper is a highly intelligent creature, they always put the will of collectivism first.

The battleships on the other line even stopped firing their main guns, inserted them with all their might, and turned clockwise at a faster speed to copy the back road of the Dawn Fortress.

At this time - the battlefield was clearly divided into three lines.

- The 40,000 Reaper ships in the middle willingly moved themselves under the guns of the fortress, and also to the ...... Under the guns of the 30,000 reapers! The next moment, a volley like a landslide suddenly erupted!

The muzzles of the 30,000 Reaper capital ships on the second line are not pointed at the Dawn Fortress, but at the backs of their compatriots! At this minute, the powerful Dawn Fortress main gun was in front, and the 30,000 Reaper capital ships were fired in a salvo in the rear! The 40,000 Reaper capital ships sandwiched in the middle were crushed like a walnut!

Shoot! Shoot! Shoot again!

All of the secondary and melee guns of the Dawn Fortress are opened! Missiles, torpedoes, ...... All joined the salvo! Recklessly, pouring fire on the front! What kind of jump preparations, they have stopped before they even start. The same is true of the 30,000 Reaper warships in the rear, which desperately bite their companions from behind, destroying the Reapers in front by all means with their main guns and claws.

When the artillery fire finally entered the overheating period and began to decay, the middle battlefield that was caught between the two sides was filled with countless reaper remains! There were only two or three kittens left, scattering and fleeing for their lives...... Within a minute, the main fleet of 40,000 Reapers!

The remaining fleet of Reapers, who confronted Dawnkeep for a moment, slowly retreated.

"Thank you!" Lu Yuan took the initiative to extend his hand to Ai Ziyou.

"No, I should say thank you." Ai Ziyou said excitedly. Immediately, it tilted its head as if listening, and said to Lu Yuan with some apologies, "It looks like I'm leaving, they are calling me ......"

"Goodbye, then!" Lu Yuan said goodbye cheerfully.

"Goodbye!" After Ai Ziyou said goodbye to everyone, he reluctantly left the Dawn.

Ai Ziyou left again, taking the hull of its damaged Pioneer-class battleship with him. Lu Yuan watched it sail into the ship, surrounded by the remaining reapers, and flew towards the deeper universe without looking back...... He knew that maybe this moment would be the eternal goodbye to Ai Ziyou.

In the Divine Castle, there was also a person who watched Ai Ziyou leave, and then sat down on the sofa in a dejected manner. Biting his hand by the tools he created, there was nothing worse than this, the main god "catalyst" suddenly felt that the world was terrible, and even the identity of "catalyst" no longer made him feel recognized......

Ai Ziyou's first cooking campaign did fail – but the too casual handling of the "catalyst" gave it another chance to make a comeback.

As a betrayer, Ai Ziyou was imprisoned in the body of an abandoned Super Reaper. And that place, too, is where the souls of those wounded and scrapped reapers live. And, of course, there are plenty of discarded man-made monsters – the giant reaper remains are basically dumpsters for the "catalyst". So Ai Ziyou came into contact with the souls of those who had in fact been abandoned.

Perhaps because they are both "fallen people at the end of the world", their similar identities have given Ai Ziyou a sense of identity there. The souls of those reapers, who have been abandoned and forgotten by the reapers because they are injured, have been lonely for too long and need to be recognized too much. Therefore, those reapers easily accepted Ai Ziyou's "dish cooking thought" and became his revolutionary comrades...... So this time, Lao Ai succeeded!

"Just let it go? I remember you said you were going to destroy all the Reapers. Nan Rika couldn't help but say. Despite the damage he had suffered in the battle just now, Ai Ziyou still had at least 25,000 Reaper capital ships, which was an extremely large force. If one day, Lu Yuan evacuated this universe with the Dawn and the Reaper made a comeback, I'm afraid no one would be able to resist it at that time.

"It's best to just leave, the Reaper's source of manufacture has been cut off. Without new members, no matter how powerful the race is, it will be rootless, and what awaits them is only a long process of decay. I don't know where Ai Ziyou is going, or what he is going to do, whether they will become enemies or neighbors of humanity in the future. Lu Yuan looked out the window and said, "But those are not important. Because the world needs reapers! Any peace agreement signed is bullshit, and the existence of the Reapers, a common enemy, is the guarantee of long-term peace in the galaxy. ”

"You sound like a saint?"

"You're right, and I'm still handicapped and virtuous."

"That's why you married six wives?"

"You've counted yourself? Sorry, I thought we were just having fun......"

"That's what I should say! You tentacle pervert! ”

Hearing that the two people over there had changed into bickering mode again, Poison Island Tsuneko rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Hey! What's going on over there? Do I want to continue the jump! Zhao Min's communication suddenly came in, and Ms. Dawn deliberately pointed the hologram at Lu Yuan, so that he could face Zhao Minzhi's roar. After all, if anyone had just started to jump, and suddenly the entire fleet was kicked out of the passage, they would definitely be very angry. Especially when he was kicked out, Zhao Min's first thought was not about himself, but whether there was something wrong with Dawn Fortress...... was still worried about Lu Yuan, but he saw that he was amusing MM......

"No need, the battlefield here is over."

"It's over?"

"yes, maybe it's all over." (To be continued.) )
