Chapter 419: Misfire

Two huge fleets confronted each other in the cold silence of space, and although the two sides were hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart, the tense atmosphere had penetrated everyone's bones.

"Zeratul, are these your people?"

Even though I had a basic understanding of the situation, I asked the Dark Templar beside me.

"If from Protos's point of view, they are my people," Zeratul's voice sounded low and slow, "but perhaps Tadalim is not willing to recognize us exiled heretics as his own people. ”

It's really a painful xenophobic spirit, after listening to Zeratul's words, I sighed in my heart.

The internal divisions of Protos have long since been repaired by the joint efforts of Zeratul and Tasada, but the sub-clan of Tadalim still seems to be unable to accept the return of the Dark Templars who are considered "heretical" to the arms of the clan, and these secrets that were difficult to know in the original "plot" are really eye-opening - as if I heard a long time ago, the people who hate you the most are often your compatriots.

"What are your requirements?"

I had already made a decision in my heart, and I just took the time to make a polite remark to the other party, but Pross regarded such an inquiry as a sign of weakness, and immediately said in an upward tone: "Leave our holy place at once, hand over our artifact, and you, as the leader of this army, must personally come to our warship and repent of your reckless behavior"

"Ground forces, continue the operation."

I shrugged my shoulders and ordered with a nonchalant expression, and immediately, several research ships that had been out of action began to scan and analyze the temples of Protos again.

I am certainly not the kind of person who will profane the beliefs and treasures of others, so even if Tadalim does not appear, I will not rashly destroy the ruins of Protos, but only explore these mysterious structures as carefully as possible, even Zeratul himself has no objection to this harmless investigation we have conducted, but in the eyes of the fanatical and xenophobic Tadalim, perhaps it is a great blasphemy for us "aliens" to simply stand on the sacred place of their ancestors, for such an unreasonable theory, I think it's the best way to deal with it if you don't care.

If your sister hadn't looked at Uncle Z's face, I would have ordered a unilateral freeze of the Bill of Rights against Protos at this time, and it wouldn't be long before the family would have been wiped out

The actions of our ground forces immediately angered the Tadalim fleet, which was hundreds of thousands of kilometers away and confronting the Imperial fleet, and the enemy commander named GLP issued a declaration in a stern tone similar to the most radical ultimatum: "Stupid and savage aliens, you must pay for your ignorance, and your fragile ships will be turned into flames of atonement to the ancestors of Protos in order to purify you of the crimes you have committed."

After GLP completed such a loud ultimatum, the main engine of our mothership immediately issued a high-energy response alarm, but I didn't expect the other party's patience to be even more lacking than I imagined, and the total video was less than three or two sentences before it was decisively taken off the assembly line and started

As a powerful race with the highest technology in this star region, Protos's fleet is naturally not comparable to those human ships, not to mention the total number of the other party's nearly 10,000 ships, and the moment the opponent's main gun is charged, the mothership's main engine emits a rapid alarm.

"Warning, warning, high energy reaction ahead, high energy reaction ahead, increased shield power of the battleship, ready for on-attack artillery fire."

The more than 1,000 shuttle-shaped warships that followed the "Protoss" mothership were exactly what I expected, they were the famous Void Ships - of course, there was another name called the Quguang Ship, and I thought it would be more appropriate to use the second name, because after knowing the true meaning of the word "Void", I felt that the name of these warships was really a bit unworthy of the name of the Void.

Through the holographic projection in front of me, I can see that the mechanical arm at the front of the shuttle battleship is slowly opening, and a series of focused prisms on its inner side are floating bright blue-white light, which begins to charge hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, and this energy has not been emitted for a long time, which proves that in the real interstellar world, the early charge of the curved light ship does not need to continue to attack a specific target- This huge difference from the game's premise makes this shaped photon cannon that can multiply its power in attack even more surprisingly threatening, just like the Zerg that can create mobile hatching pools and disposable wyverns on the front line, it seems that the existence in the real world will always be more than a notch stronger than the information projection on Earth.

"Zeratul, I'm sorry, it looks like I had to fight your compatriots."

The sudden turn of the situation made this battle-hardened warrior feel a little struggling, and he had some contact with the Imperial warriors, and he almost already knew about our strength, especially Lilina's two amazing shots made him awe of our mysterious strength, although this understanding was still very superficial, but it was enough for him to understand that the Protos fleet hundreds of thousands of kilometers away did not necessarily have any advantage in this encounter, and once the war started, I was afraid that the result would be very bad, but in the end, he still sighed.

Things have come to this point, and no one can stop the outbreak of fighting.

"Imperial Fleet, the overall inverted phase-phased subordinate units enter the mothership protection force field, the battleship's main gun is charged, the predator target, all enemy energy attack equipment"

Immediately after obtaining my permission to fight, the captain of the mothership issued a series of precise orders with great skill, and the Imperial fleet, which was always as quiet as a beast lurking in the shadows, finally showed its terrifying fangs in the face of Tadalim's provocation.

Strictly speaking, although there has been a firefight with the fleets of the Independent Federation before, it was just a personal crushing game of Pandora and Viska, thousands of human warships are not even toys for the two strategic-level little girls, and today is the real confrontation between the Imperial fleet and the alien fleet, so I have no reservations at the beginning, and order all kinds of equipment that sounds incomparably bullish X to be activated one by one.

The astonishing energy flowed through every pipeline of the huge battleship, and the chirp of the energy flow rose sharply like a speeding train whistle, led by the Eternity-class battlecruiser as the flagship, the heat dissipation grid behind each Xiling spaceship changed from dark red to dazzling incandescent white in an instant, and the galactic main gun in the bow of the Eternal-class ship gradually emerged a brilliant spark under the combined energy supply of the three different space ghost energy wells, and this unprecedentedly powerful concentrating cannon was charged and even made the bridge we were on tremble slightly- Or maybe it's my delusion, to be honest, even if you just look at it from the holographic projection, the process of charging the galaxy is too burning.

Zeratul's eyes flashed with a complicated light, on the one hand, Tadalim's fanatical heretics were enemies of the Dark Templars, they had even launched unjustified attacks on the Protos of Shakulas more than once, and in many cases, they always regarded every Dark Templar they encountered as a heretic to "purify", but on the other hand, even if it was an enemy, the current situation was that a group of "Emperors" of unknown origin were firing at their own people, so, Uncle Z is very entangled.

At this time, the charge of the enemy's more than 1,000 warp ships has finally ended, and our unevasive response may have made Pros a little confused, but it did not stop his determination to attack us.

The distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers is instantaneous for the light-speed shaped cannon, and the core computer that the Eternity class is equipped with is a metamorphosis in the central computer of any kind of Imperial warship, but it is faster than the speed of light, just when the thousands of huge photon jets are about to touch the forward of the Imperial fleet, a synthetic female voice resounded across the bridge: "Inphasing begins"

Like a reflection in the water that had suddenly been disturbed, the huge Imperial fleet trembled unrealistically for a moment, as if it had become a picture without substance.

The opponent's thousand torrents of photons that had taken a long time to hold back penetrated the Imperial fleet that had been turned into images, and not even the maintenance robot outside that was responsible for polishing, oiling, and changing the three filters of the legion flagship did not hurt a single one.

But this was only the beginning of the panic that the Tadalim fleet was in.

"Activate the Plunderer."

I nodded to the captain beside me.

Let me see how powerful Tavel's latest achievement is - the energy predator, Tavel researched and developed according to my special ability, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to try out the first generation of experimental energy attack equipment, although it can't completely simulate my ability, but it is enough to neutralize all conventional energy attacks.

The Imperial fleet, which had entered a state of nothingness, adjusted its queue slightly, and instead of dodging those huge torrents of photons, it met the enemy's attacks head-on one by one, and then began to gradually re-enter the materialization.

"The inphasing effect is coming to an end, the Sweeper has been successfully activated, and a sample of the target energy has been obtained...... The energy channel is being established...... Channel Establishment ...... The power of the plunder is increasing...... Prepare and record the test data. ”

A blue aura swept across every Xiling ship under the attack of the warped light ship, and the entire imperial fleet was also lifted from the state of nothingness at the same time, and thousands of photon torrents that had reached the extreme charge finally hit the actual target, and in an instant, a dazzling white light flame was stirred up on our ship, and the Tadalim fleet, which was still in shock just now, saw that its attack worked, and immediately increased the output power of the warping ship even harder-until they found that all the energy of the ship had been out of control.

The beam of light connected between the Shaped Crystal of the Curved Light Ship and the Xiling Ship grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and within a few seconds, it had exceeded the maximum power attack that a normal Curved Light Ship could release, and the dazzling blue-white energy sparks began to crackle and burst out from the Shaped Energy Crystal on the bow of the Curved Light Ship, and then gradually spread to their entire hull, due to the loss of control generated from the inside out, the plasma shield that the Protos people were proud of did not play a role at all, and it was only ten seconds, The plasma shields on those warped ships were already crumbling—their last remaining energy was drying up under the siphon of the predators.

The captains of the warped ships tried to cut off the energy supply of the Focus Crystals, but the energy channels created by the energy predators were already all over their hulls, and any way that could transmit energy had been accurately classified into the energy channels by the Eternity-class hosts, and their resistance was completely futile.

Soon, more than a thousand warped light ships that had been floating with a light blue halo gradually dimmed, dense energy sparks filled their streamlined hulls, and these completely squeezed Protos battleships began to twist and deform, it was the predator squeezing the crystal energy in their structure, Protos tried to contact the warriors in those warships, but only got a terrible scream - thirteen seconds later, the predator had begun to absorb the psychic energy of the Protos people.

In the end, when the soul of the last captain of the Quguang ship was completely drained, and even the chemical energy of every cell in his body was left behind, the energy plunder finally completed the gluttonous feast, releasing more than a thousand warships that had turned into dim and twisted metal wreckage from the force field, allowing them to crash crookedly onto the surface of the pimple star.

"The energy preserver is fully charged, and the energy form is being converted...... The first attack of the main artillery of the galaxy ......"

With such a bland mechanical female voice, the "Galaxy" main gun, which had completed an unprecedented triple-charge, released a huge torrent of energy several kilometers in diameter, and at my behest, it avoided the three aircraft carriers of Tadalim and instead made an "S" shaped cut in the phalanx of thousands of frigates.

Faced with this fed version of the galaxy that can cut small planets in half, the plasma shield is as if it doesn't exist, and in Tadalim's phalanx, a series of explosions illuminate the dark and cold starry sky.

Just as the first attack was completed, the voice of the mechanical girl resounded across the bridge again: "...... Energy form conversion ...... The second attack of the main artillery of the galaxy ......"

“…… The third attack of the main artillery of the galaxy ......"

“…… The fourth attack of the Galaxy main artillery ......"

A huge ray of light sliced across the enemy's fleet, slicing an S and a B......

Until the entire power pipeline of the Starship main cannon was severely overloaded, a strategic-grade weapon that was used to fire in bursts like machine guns, thanks to which we installed a second buffer system on it ahead of time.

After the start of our attack, the Protos fleet, which fell into a brief chaos due to the fact that a thousand warped ships were all sucked dry and crashed in twenty seconds, also quickly organized an effective counterattack, but this counterattack is really a little weak in our opinion, perhaps relying on its own powerful technology to bully humans in this star region has become accustomed to, in the face of the strange army of the Xiling Empire, the first heavy blow made the opponent's attack seem slightly hesitant, and it is this momentary hesitation, Our assault ships and gravitational trap effect ships managed to completely seal off the entire battlefield with space jumps, completely preventing them from escaping with their best spatial teleportation - though I'm not sure how far their space skills have reached.

The counter-fire from the Tadalim fleet finally really landed on the Imperial fleet, and at first it was just some tentative attack that could not be realized, and it was obvious that they were apprehensive about the scene where the Sweeper had just sucked a thousand warp ships, and they were afraid that they would become the next victim of this terrible weapon, but they soon found that that the vicious weapon was no longer effective.

After all, it is a test product, absorbing such a huge amount of energy at one time, and then converging it all to the main gun of the mothership through the void conduction, it is inevitable that it needs to be cooled.

"The strength of the shield of the third formation is decreasing...... Spatial Transition ...... The formation has been adjusted...... Mothership is in full swing ......"

The electronically synthesized mechanical female voice reported the battle situation unhurriedly, although the attack of these Protos warships can cause some damage to the Imperial fleet, but unless they can surround us with the tactics of crowds, otherwise with such firepower, it is a miracle to be able to knock out our shields - in space bombardment, the Imperial fleet has one of the most head-catching tactics, that is, "jump maneuver", every unit of the entire Imperial fleet, even an automatic robot responsible for changing the filter of the engine, They all have the ability to jump in space, and on the battlefield of the interstellar level, our entire fleet can use space jumps to change the entire formation instantaneously, and the troops that are attacked by the enemy's concentrated fire can switch positions with the intact units in the rear within a millisecond, and we are always using warships in their prime to engage the enemy - and this is also based on the premise that our warships are far more powerful than our opponents.

Bright laser beams staggered across space, each flash meant bursts of energy enough to kill countless statements, and the Imperial fleet formed a massive combined shield that kept most of the enemy's attacks at bay, with the exception of a few vulnerable unmanned ships and cannon fodder units piloted by battle golems that were destroyed while blocking the enemy's deadliest attacks, and Protos' battleships began to suffer massive battle damage after their plasma shields were consumed.

In fact, I was already surprised that their plasma shields could withstand the first salvo of the Imperial fleet.

"What are their carriers doing?"

Just as we flirt...... Ahem, when facing the enemy, Lilina suddenly reminded me, and at this moment I suddenly realized that the three Protos aircraft carriers that had not shown the slightest offensive intent from the beginning of the battle were too suspicious - were they calmly watching their fleet set off fireworks?

"Those auras have just appeared," Shallow frowned, pointing to the layers of halo-shaped objects that suddenly appeared under the enemy aircraft carrier displayed on the holographic projection, and she analyzed it in a unique cold way before the ability was removed, "They have not attacked, they may be accumulating energy to launch a surprise attack, the main cannon of the galaxy can be fired again in a few minutes, we had better kill one of their aircraft carriers to make these guys quiet." ”

However, it seems that the enemy does not intend to wait for a few more minutes, and with the sudden alarm of the mothership's main engine, we instantly detected a large-scale anomaly in the surrounding space gravity.

In the next second, the position of the bow and main gun of the Eternity-class was surrounded by thousands of small fighters that suddenly appeared.

Aircraft carriers of Protos...... Rely on space jumps to deploy carrier-based aircraft?

I didn't expect this at all, this is too far from the "setting data" in my impression, and if I knew that the enemy in the Path still had this trick, I should have kept a gravitational trap effect ship near the Eternal class

Just as I was being surprised, the thousands of fighters that had been teleported directly to our main gun positions using space technology were already squeaking with sparks of electricity and slamming into the "galaxy" that had just begun to recharge

They're going to detonate our main guns
