Chapter 313: A Sword Light Chills
"Og" is the name of a Reaper ship, inherited from its predecessor, the Leviathan Behemoth - if it is more accurate, he is the commander-in-chief of the 24,000 ships of the Reaper fleet, the Pioneer Reaper Battleship! Its body appears broad and powerful, and its limbs are angular and elegant. Starting from the wrist and foot with the head extended forward, the entire body is 4.3 kilometers long.
Even when this body was a Leviathan behemoth, it was also the Prince of Leviathan who ruled over countless races in hundreds of galaxies!
But "Augur" is a "smart man", he is not like his colleagues, mechanical and closed - except for slaughter and hibernation, at other times there will be no communication between two Reaper ships less than a light second apart - this is the Reaper, despite their superior intelligence, but like living tools. However, "Ogy" is different, he comes from the ancient civilized world tens of millions of years ago, he knows the origin of the Reaper, and even occasionally talks to the "Catalyst" adult, which makes Ogur have a temperament of "the whole world is turbid and I am awake"!
I'm not a simple reaper!
Reaper warships above the "Overlord" class have high IQs, and they share each other's information with a single thought whenever they need to, and can transmit regardless of distance in a world with repeaters. So the entire Reaper Fleet is like a large, dense instrument, precise, elegant, and methodical - never wrong!
This is the essence of the Reapers, and the pride of them—so the Overlord-class battleship of the Citadel is not known at the moment. What it did was known to all the Reapers, and it had been executed - from the fact that he didn't know the fleet existed, the guy had been kicked out of the communications network......
"Ogy" is like a part of this machine at the moment. Lined up in the third row of the entire Grand Fleet, as the shock wave of the fleet slowly entered the main battlefield, no one could tell that he was directing the battle. By the way, "Ogy" "modified" the perception of it with its enormous psychic power - no matter how precise you use optics, electronics, electromagnetism, gravity...... When the instrument tested him, he could only find that it was a small Destroyer-class battleship, an inconspicuous member of the entire large fleet. Lu Yuan could probably guess. But to let him distinguish between the battleships, he didn't have that time.
Seeing the white cube fleet unfolding in front of him, "Auger" was not underestimated - he was very aware of this mission. Because in the fleet of thousands of Reapers. There are not many Harbinger-level Reapers, and they always act as commanders in every battle of annihilation. "Oggie's" tactical handling is quite good, and he will only be dispatched whenever he encounters a really "difficult problem to solve".
Even so. Over the past tens of millions of years. "Augur" has only been dispatched less than five times - one of them against the race that created the Citadel and the Repeater......
"Tentative attack." With the order of "Augur", he himself flew out with a group of small Destroyer-class, and after gathering into a formation of hundreds of ships, he joined dozens of Overlord-class warships and crossed the balance line of the two sides forward.
*****
The balance line generally refers to the maximum effective range of your main gun multiplied by 2. Crossing the balance line means that the battle will start anytime and anywhere.
The 33rd command deck of the Mothership Dawn. It has been divided into several large command spaces by transparent walls, and Lu Yuan, Yayun Zi, Zhao Min, and Annie live in them. Each command space except the commander. There are still a varying number of support personnel, running between the various instruments. The transparent walls absorb sound and the fluorescence scattered by countless holographic screens, allowing each other's commands to be undisturbed.
However, the transparent walls and the stepped and staggered command space can make everyone's line of sight clear and unobstructed, providing a more intuitive impression.
Among all the commanders, only Lu Yuan was the only one who occupied the command space at the highest place.
He sat in front of the porthole on the highest level, leaning back on the sofa in the most relaxed position, leaving only a back for everyone. As the Reaper fleet in view gradually coincided with the holograms on the screen, everyone on the command deck felt a little nervous...... At this time, a leader who sits there with his legs crossed can give confidence to everyone.
"It's just a temptation." Looking at the small Reaper fleet that had broken into the area of engagement, Anne said in the channel. Oh, yes...... It's just a temptation, and we've seen this kind of scene many times in the simulation. The dozens of Misaka sisters who served as adjutants quietly grimaced at each other when they passed by.
"Prepare to engage the enemy...... Fire! Although the "Lightning Strike" battleship has all kinds of strange configurations, only the effective firing range is super long, which is twice the main gun of the ordinary Overlord-class Reaper battleship! In other words, when the Reapers thought they were crossing the balance line, they were actually swinging through the guns of the Thunderbolts. When the small fleet had covered about a third of the way, Anne gave the order to shoot decisively.
The milky white cube suddenly extended into countless colorful straight lines.
The Reaper fleet, consisting of 48 Overlord-class and 512 Destroyer-class ships, had been prepared for a long time, and they suddenly parted like an explosion the moment they were attacked!
With the naked eye, one would only think that they are scurrying around like headless wasps. However, in the analysis of the computer, it can be clearly seen that this detachment is again divided into dozens of smaller miniature fleets, in groups of three or three, flying around each other without intersecting each other, forming a huge tree-shaped trajectory.
But what the Reaper battleships don't understand is that when they don't know anything about the Dawn - even the range and power of the main guns of the lightning strike battleship need to be tested, the Dawn knows everything about their battleship structure, combat flight speed, tactical habits, judgment logic, and so on! Even well-trained......
Therefore, when 1.13 seconds of the main guns of the Thunderbolt had passed and the bombardment arrived, "Auger" was surprised to find that he could hear the hands of the clock moving - and with a clear rhythm of "drop", "tick", and "answer", he watched a small destroyer warship in flight. It was hit three times in succession, and then exploded into a cloud of orange flames!
The other side even fired only one salvo! This rhythm is completely based on the difference in flight speed between the different types of various main guns!
This moment. The entire battlefield is littered with explosive fireworks from the destruction of the Destroyer! No matter how nimble the little ship dodged, it couldn't escape being hit by mysterious rays one after another, and then exploding...... Hundreds of flowers of flame burst into flames on the battlefield almost simultaneously. In the blink of an eye, all the destroyers in the combat area were destroyed, and only the overlord-level reapers, who were still unharmed.
"It's ...... What's the situation?! Ogg admits that he was completely shocked by the salvo!
The firing distance is up to 1.13 seconds. That's enough time for the 160-meter-long Destroyer to change direction 8 times and fly thousands of kilometers away! However, the extremely flexible Destroyer battleship could be played with as if it was being played with by the other side, and it was powerless to resist? They seem to have a deep understanding of the Reaper's behavior patterns - even if they are impersonating the Destroyer himself. was also hit twice in an instant, but barely dodged the third shot. Of course, Og's body is an ancient forerunner, and the thickness of the shield and hull is incredible. This shooting had no effect on it......
"The intensity of the shooting is average. The rays are flying at about one-third the speed of light......" Og hid himself behind a mass of burning wreckage, silently assessing the strength of the other party. Three shots from the opponent's main gun can destroy a small battleship, but of course "Augur" will not believe it, what he sees so far is the maximum power of the opponent's main gun. "But...... What is that?! He was somewhat shocked and incredulous to see that it seemed that another new technology had appeared in the galaxy!
In its field of vision of electromagnetism and energy, "Augur" could see that when the opponent's matrix began to shoot, there were countless "lines" connected to the main ship of the Dawn at the same time, which was located in the core! At that moment, the core of each lightning strike battleship was also extremely bright. When the shooting is over. The connection was disconnected, and the core of the lightning strike battleship cooled rapidly and even moved along the axis......
No doubt. That's wireless energy transmission technology! Every battleship located on the matrix node is really just a firing terminal. What really powers them is the largest umbrella battleship at the core!
Faced with this unthinkable technology in the Reaper assessment, "Ogy" felt that his computational core was no longer sufficient. So he quietly retreated, and at the same time ordered the rest of the reapers to continue attacking! He wanted to know more about this technique, and it would be better if it could be obtained by the Reaper......
"One less, Commander." An Osaka reported to Anne. In her surveillance, the detachment's 512 Devastator ships were all targets of this firing. However, when the number of destroyed ships was counted, only 511 ships were found, and one was marked as "missing".
"It's just a mouse, leave him alone! …… The target is the Overlord-class Reaper, the parameters of the lightning strike ship remain the same, keep shooting! ”
*****
Five minutes later, there was only a piece of wreckage left within the balance line......
Under the continuous salvo of 24,000 mine-striking ships, 48 Overlord-class warships and 511 destroyer battleships that did not retreat were destroyed one after another. The price paid by the Lightning Strike Fleet was only four battleships that were "heavily damaged" - one split in two by the Reaper's main guns from the middle, a huge metal bubble bulging from the side, and the other two were also damaged to varying degrees......
When facing the main guns of the "Overlord-class" Reaper battleships, these "Lightning Strike" battleships without kinetic barriers began to show their fragile side, as if they were almost vulnerable in the face of the full force of the Grim Reaper's scythe-like stream of liquid metal! The hull of the ship was cut in two, caused by a terrifying shot from the main gun of the Overlord-class class.
The four ships were subjected to a concentrated attack by the Reapers, who tried to learn about the characteristics of the Lightning Strike Fleet through them, and thus looked very tattered and miserable. The Reaper's main and secondary guns were like bathing a lightning ship, testing them from start to finish.
It's a pity for the Reapers, no matter how miserable they look on the outside, they never get to blow themselves up - the lightning ships lack a mass effect core and energy storage structure, and when they don't shoot, they are simply a metal pillar - like a cannon without shells, it certainly can't cause a chain reaction of martyrdom.
"Let them stay there and wait for orders, and don't participate in the next battle for the time being!" This was the order given by Anne to the four battleships. Obviously, these battleships, which seem to be completely finished, can actually continue to fight......
On the other side of the main battlefield, "Ogy" is also aggregating battle data. The remaining more than 20,000 Reaper warships that have not yet stepped into the battlefield are like 20,000 microscopes, collecting all the details of the battlefield. Whether the hidden or unhidden strength of the lightning strike fleet has been calculated by "Augur" at this moment...... The direction of the battlefield is never to go according to someone's wishes.
"Our losses today are as great as the losses of the past 10 million years combined!" The voice of the pioneer "Augur", echoing in the silent reaper fleet, could even be heard by Ai Ziyou who was far away on the Dawn. "But I don't care! Because the game ...... It's just getting started. ”
With his voice, a large amount of data, frantically flocking to the Reaper Fleet spreading half a galaxy, the mystery of the Dawn was peeled back layer by layer.
"Ready, the next one is a general attack!" (To be continued......)
