Chapter 424: The Great Killer
Chapter 424: The Great Killer
After a certain order with the highest authority was issued to each fortress planet through the command link, the emperor's huge war machine has begun a series of responses from the inside, although on the surface, we are still unhurriedly defending against attacks from the outside, but the keen Protos people have already felt a certain extreme sense of depression from the depths of their souls, which is manifested in the fact that the base established by Tadalim suddenly has countless defensive troops, And the attack troops they sent out gradually reduced the frequency of sorties.
How did these god-chattering Protos get their "unsettling aura" from the so-called "Voice of the Void"? Are they all possessed by Lin Xue?
From the first surprise attack on us by the alliance of the three clans to the present, less than four days have passed, in the face of the fierce cosmic combat units of the Xiling people, they just paid the same price as a group battle for a sneak attack, and the Zerg who have always been on our frontal battlefield Needless to say, whether they attacked the emperor or not, we will spare no effort to exterminate any discovered Zerg planet, and the loss of human beings is second only to the Zerg, their tactics of playing and running did receive a lot of results at the beginning, but to be honest, This kind of guerrilla warfare that requires high mobility is not suitable for battle cruiser formations at all, when we began to hide large fleets in the space folds of the patrols, those human armies who dared to attack suffered an unprecedented devastating blow, as soon as they appeared, the special ships equipped with gravitational traps would immediately block the surrounding space, and then the swarm of assault ships would rush out of the space folds, and a salvo of ghostly artillery fire could often kill and injure 80% of the fragile ships of human beings, Even the outrageously thick armor of the battle cruiser is difficult to resist the shelling of even one assault ship head-on, after paying the price of the total annihilation of several large-scale battle cruiser formations, the human offensive has eased slightly, and Protos is the side that has always suffered the smallest losses, firstly, their tactics have always been quite cautious, when our main force is entangled by the Zerg and humans, this cautious tactics have allowed them to obtain a relatively safe situation, and secondly, Protos's scientific and technological strength is indeed strong, The so-called "official plot" in the Protos is simply a scum with less than 5 combat effectiveness compared to these genuine advanced civilizations, and the tactics of the "Protoss" aircraft carrier formation using the chrono-space-time jump technique to deploy nearly 10,000 unmanned interceptors in an instant have really posed a threat to our small troops, after all, it is impossible for us to install equipment such as gravitational traps on individual fighters, and the plasma shield allows these Protoss giants to get a moment of respite under the attack of the ghost cannon, until now, The Tadalim fleet remained in a state of low casualty.
Of course, this is also the reason why we did not gather the main force to attack the other side.
But...... I really hate that word, and although on the surface we have always been overwhelming, there is one thing that I have to face seriously: compared to the entire base of hundreds of billions, we still have too few enemy forces to destroy......
"Those things are ready to go, but the stability of the copied cores is still an issue, and they can only operate at 30 percent power to enhance their maneuverability."
Tavel debriefed me and projected a series of holograms, looking at the huge mechanical structures above, and I felt that a pair of dwarf melon sisters were heating up next to me.
"We simulated the ghost energy decomposition principle of the Sniper Star Cannon, but because the key technique of the Giant Ghost Energy Abyss has not been able to be conquered, its operation speed cannot be compared with the Sniper Star Cannon," Tavel said with a regretful expression on his face, "Maybe it would be more efficient to capture some neutron stars and place them in their cores to replace the energy furnace, but the long-lasting energy release of neutron stars is still too poor compared to the ghost energy well, so it will be a huge disadvantage for the time-consuming and laborious weapons to complete the preparation, and their service life will be too short." β
"It's already good."
I said from the bottom of my heart that there are times when the lower limit and the like should be kept a little bit.
My sister didn't have much interest in how powerful such a cutting-edge weapon was, she just felt very sorry for the enemies who were still unrepentant, and rubbed her forehead in annoyance, and her sister's voice was low: "Are they still attacking?" With a thousand times the battle damage to fight the Imperial fleet, how can they kill people and don't want money? β
Sandora folded her arms to her chest, her big sky-blue eyes drooping slightly, as if talking about the weather: "It's been now, even if it's called' The strange power of the Apocalypse is gone, those people have basically lost the ability to judge right from wrong, and for the controllers of war, the life of a soldier is only a number, as long as the scale of the battlefield is large enough, they have the ability to make even those soldiers who are born and die have such a sense of identity, I bet that every soldier on the other side is convinced that their unprecedented interstellar alliance forces have the absolute upper hand in the face of brutal alien invaders, and a good general will never let a soldier know the whole truth. β
"Not counting the Shiling army, of course."
Sandora added.
"Brother, brother, when can we attack in general, it's so boring to wait like this, I'll lead the army to blow up the capital star of the human race first."
Viska, who had been in a bunch of discussions with Little Bubbles, suddenly got out of Little Lori's topic of love, and instantly expressed her opinion, and then continued to bow her head and study with Little Bubbles the thirty-second way to eat true knowledge sticks - of course, it should be her unilateral expression, because I really don't think there is any logic in Little Bubbles' monosyllabic vocabulary.
Me: "......"
At least don't decide on the course of battle while biting on a lollipop, bastard, you're destroying the great lollipop culture, don't you?
"Sir, we've received a communication request from the enemy, judging that it's human, are you connected?"
Vega's sudden loud report brought me back to my senses from the complaints, and at the same time, the Imperial Soy Sauce Party on the bridge also showed surprise.
Enemy communications? After all this long period of one-sided silence, did they finally decide to contact us?
It seems that the battle loss rate, which has been a thousand times in the past few days, has finally made these guys feel painful.
"Connected." I nodded, and the picture immediately switched on the huge holographic projection system next to the bridge.
A middle-aged man with a rather majestic face, thick brown hair, and a stiff beard on his chin appeared in front of us.
"Maybe we should talk."
This middle-aged man with a majestic face had a furrow on his brow that seemed to be locked forever, and said to me in a very flat toneβHuh? It doesn't seem to be the tone of a peaceful negotiation
"Arcturus? Mengsk, the ruler of the Independent Commonwealth? If I'm not mistaken. β
It wasn't a surprise to me that I was able to tell my identity at once, the human ruler named Mengsk, his expression was still flat, and he had the time to look at James, who was standing next to me and had now completely evolved into a soy sauce party? Renault: "Renault, it seems that you are getting along well with your new alien master, and I hope they will be kind enough to take you with them when they retreat from this sector." β
Renault's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he unceremoniously-for-tat: "Maybe you should think more about your current situation - you don't know what kind of price your army is fighting, right?" Even those powerful 'Protoss' are cautious and watching, while you have sent the fate of the entire human race to such a point of no return? I advise you, before the emperor next to me gets serious, stop it quickly......"
Lilina next to her immediately raised her forehead with her hand, and her face was full of collapse: "Oops, I think of the intruder and their lackeys......"
β¦β¦ Can't this girl say a good word in her mouth?
Putting aside Lilina's terrible metaphor and Uncle Renault's increasingly helpful mess aside, I stared coldly at the mole on the door of Mengsk's head (at this point I really wanted to complain about what kind of painful design this huge holographic projection is, especially when it has a resolution of tens of thousands of pixels), and said quietly, "Evacuate this galaxy?" Is that what you β or what you are asking for? β
"As an intruder, are you suspicious of such a righteous demand as mine?" "Leave our homeland immediately, that's my ultimatum, otherwise, the real offensive is just about to begin......"
"You can't be mistaken, can you? Uncle," Lilina had just been lifted aside by me, when she squeezed forward with a dead face, "Now that you're in such a bad situation, you should surrender."
Mengsk looked at the little girl who suddenly rushed forward in surprise, as if he didn't understand at all why alien invaders and the habit of taking children to the battlefield, and in the end, he made a decision that an adult should make: decisively ignore this little point that can only reach the camera on tiptoe.
"Intruder, I have said this, I admit that you are slightly more powerful than I imagined, but if you are still obsessed, we will also let you know how powerful the power of the people of the Dao is You don't know anything about this star region, and you don't know how powerful the power of the Dao we are combined......"
"In other words, the peace plan does not work?" I suddenly shrugged my shoulders and said with another smile.
"There is no doubt that we will fight to the end"
"Smack", I snapped my fingers, nodded and said, "Okay, then change to a plan that is not peaceful." β
After saying this, I didn't care what Mengsk's reaction was, and turned to face the fateful Sivis and said, "Pass the form." β
"What is this?"
A second later, the host of the "Imperial Admiral" easily broke a series of encryption barriers, and sent a timetable directly to Mengsk, looking at the series of familiar names on the form and the periodic time markings below, Mengsk asked with a frown.
At the same time, such schedules have also been transmitted to every corner of the entire star sector using wide-area signals, including the Tadalim base that is facing off against the Imperial fleet and the Zerg who are fighting with the soldiers of the Holy Expeditionary Force, and I believe that their leaders must have been following the conversation between Mengsk and me through their own channels, and Mengsk's questions must have been eagerly wanted to know by these hidden guys.
"Obviously, a timetable, with alternate options on it and our draw time at the back, do you want me to show you it now?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Sivis on standby brought me a tray with some shiny flakes neatly laid out.
I looked at the time next to me, then picked one up from it, glanced at it, and smiled at the confused Mengsk: "Ten and a half in the morning of the imperial home planet time, the time of the first lottery, congratulations, the twenty-third planet Nurculas won the bid honorably." β
"What do you mean by that?"
The shadow of unease grew in Mengsk's mind, and in the end he could only alleviate his bad ideas with such a loud question, but I just smiled and waited quietly - but in a few minutes, a message was delivered to Mengsk.
A certain abandoned mineral planet called Nurculas was completely disappeared when it was suddenly illuminated by a light from space three minutes ago - note that it was completely gone, not burned to ashes, nor reduced to pieces, but disappeared, as if it had been erased by an eraser, not even a molecule remained, and there was no shadow of Nurculas on the scene except for strong thermal radiation and space storms.
And this astonishing news reached the ears of every high-ranking race who followed this conversation at the same time, and I would like to thank the Kprustar Sector for its well-developed information channels.
Suddenly such shocking information came, and the expression on Mengsk's face solidified as if it had been poured with cement.
"Hopefully, the gravitational fluctuations caused by this will subside within thirty years," I clapped my hands, regaining Mengsk's attention, "the next draw will be held according to the schedule, maybe you can set up a quiz entertainment program or something, and guess where the winning bid will be next?" β
After saying this, I cut off the communication directly, and then put the shiny flake in my hand into my mouth, this thing is made of rock candy.
My action is a signal, with the message of "you can eat" sent out, a few small ones on the bridge rushed up, three times five divided by two to snatch the rock candy cube in Sivis's hand clean, but then Lilina, this pseudo-Lori always thinks of herself as a child, is it necessary for you to grab the ground more crazy than the little bubbles? And Sandora...... At least you left that plate for me, it's the only remaining Jingdezhen porcelain of the expeditionary force, bastard
In the process of watching, Renault experienced a psychological surf from surprise to horror until now he was speechless, and now he looked at the "alien villains" who had just destroyed a planet while talking and laughing, and suddenly turned into a group of starving ghosts, and Uncle Beard's face was full of convulsions.
"Old man...... I think we'd better take the oath of allegiance now...... Damn, I'm not going to be the fool who fights to the end......"
Tyx poked Renault in the waist, the massive scar on his face shaking as he spoke.
"No...... Wait......" Renault muttered, and then quickly walked up a few steps in front of me, "You just ......"
"Peace of mind," I certainly knew what he was going to say, "although that list lists almost every planet you know, including the home planets of all races, but you can see that there is nothing on this sign, so- do you need to worry?" β
"Just to scare people?" Renault was stunned and said incredulously.
"Nonsense, do you think Mengsk is so lucky, the first planet to be destroyed is an abandoned uninhabited planet?"
Renault had a strange expression on his face, and finally let out a long sigh: "Your personality is really ......"
No, I know, you don't have to say it.
"Mere threats are not enough, but will provoke them to resist even stronger, what we need is complete panic, so that they will have the psychological pressure that even a sneeze will trigger genocide," Sandora solved the last piece of Jingdezhen porcelain in the entire Imperial fleet, licking her fingers and said indifferently, "Now the 'Zero' can set off." β
So, the shock caused by Nurculas's mysterious disappearance had just spread throughout the Sector, and another surprising and even terrifying thing happened again.
Within the range of the star regions discovered by humans, zergs, and Protos, hundreds of planets gradually detached themselves from their orbits and then moved in absolutely impossible paths
A large number of probes of all races swarmed like bees attracted to us, and with our deliberate permission, they were able to get close to these strange celestial bodies, and then what shocked the Protos gradually revealed its hideous fangs: the surface of the planet that was moving on its own gradually fell off, the entire shell of the star slowly opened like a crustacean spreading its elytra, and a large and mysterious mechanism and crystal jungle were revealed from those cracks, The faintly visible core of the brightly lit planet emitted an unsettling dark red light, and the huge energy fluctuations caused the probes hundreds of thousands of kilometers away to disintegrate themselves in an instant, only to turn the terrifying scenes of these huge starships into still images and send them to their owners.
At the behest of Pandora, Tavel devoted himself to the Empire's strongest main warship...... The knockoff, the Star Battleship named "Zero" by Sandora, has finally completed their months-long rearmament, exposing itself to every race in the Kproru Sector for the first time.
The planetary battleship that had taken off its camouflage gradually accelerated under the impetus of the coordinate-like engine, moving closer to the predetermined targets one by one, Char, El, Titan, Tulado, Tasanis, ...... Familiar names are becoming clear on the routes of these planetary warships, and all the race leaders have a timetable in their hands, and the names of their home planets are correspondingly on these routes and on the timetable......
Happy prom, then, my dear enemies.
The last line of the timetable reads in bold blood-red lettering.
