Chapter 432: Hanging

After a few days of "luck", the intelligent races of the Kprustar finally suffered their first tragedy.

Constantly intimidating the blindless intruders with its sharp teeth, the Empire seemed to have finally lost its patience, raising its teeth and claws to tear a military planet full of Protos warriors to shreds.

It was still a broadcast to the entire star sector in milliseconds, according to the precise and brutal numbers on the timetable, but this time some people who were still awake noticed a huge difference between this broadcast and the previous ones, and this difference made them feel confused at first, and then violently panicked.

A reporter from the Independent Federation recorded the scene: it was like the atmosphere of the gallows, the ruler of the empire standing on a high platform, announcing the list of destruction to every information port in the entire sector, and behind the ruler of the empire, everyone was looking in the direction across the screen, throwing a gentle expression at the natives of Kpru—the last expression of the priest on the gallows facing the condemned prisoner.

"Seventy-four, Tedakland, destroyed in thirty minutes."

It was the largest fortress planet that Tadalim had built in the eastern part of the empire's occupied territory, and the gray-blue ground of the entire planet was covered with their army, and the Tadalim fleet was garrisoned by as many as 100,000 people: all of them were heavy warships, including aircraft carriers, which was already the largest fleet that Tadalim could gather after such a long period of high battle damage, and there were no Madonnas: the few Madonnas they had were now used as trophies by the Spiritual Empire (of course, I didn't dare to let the Protos know that their racial monument has now almost become the playground of Princess Killing, otherwise even the Protos of Shakulas would be desperate with me), and their ground forces are crammed into almost every corner of the planet, the eyes of fanatics and pursuers twinkle in the darkness to stare at every inch of the night sky, and the colossal colossus and various mechanical guards roam around the mountains and ravines of Tydaclan, a defense of this magnitude, if before the appearance of the Celestial Empire, Almost considered impenetrable, Tadalim would proudly claim that this was the strongest line of defense in the universe, and even a billion Zerg would not want to break through it

But now, when Tedaclan appeared in the Death Strategy, what pervades the planet is not the courage of confidence, but the sadness of facing the end of the desperate battle.

The so-called interception has long proven impossible to succeed, each planetary warship is more powerful than an unconventional ship can match, and even the Hiling escort fleet hidden beneath their crust alone is enough to sweep through an on-the-ground force of any size, and the only effective counterattack occurred in the Great Melee two days ago, when Tadalim successfully slowed down a planetary warship using crowd tactics and suicide attacks, delaying its destruction by about three minutes - and that's all there was to it.

Only by relying on a fixed planetary base, constantly using powerful shields and suicide ships to consume or deflect that terrifying light, can there be a glimmer of life: this is the conclusion reached by Tadalim and human scientists after joint research, of course, this theory is based on the fact that the energy used by the Xiling army has a storage limit, if the Xiling people can really break the law of conservation of energy and make the energy of the planet warship unlimited......

All that is left in the Nakpuru region is prayer - so do the natives of Kpru, who have been convinced by the Revelation that the Helling Empire is here to destroy the entire universe.

"Starship No. 7 has approached the target, the escort formation has been deployed, and the energy core is activated at any time," the radio voice on the bridge echoed softly, making it impossible to associate it with the end at all, it was Lilina's idea to set the host personality of the Imperial Admiral to such a soft Jiangnan girl style, her reason was that it would better inject a little humane feeling into the iron-blooded Xiling Empire, but listening to such a soft voice reading the instructions to destroy a planet and countless lives, But I could only feel a distortion formed by a strong contrast, "The Tedaclan has been locked, the enemy fleet has not taken the initiative to intercept it, and the destruction will begin in five minutes." ”

"Well, I kind of understand that the radio sounds on any battleship are so dull," Lilina scratched her hair embarrassedly, "it sounds weird, so let's change it back." ”

"Hoo ......"

On the side, Renault exhaled helplessly, but didn't say anything, because a little girl's sudden whim changed the host setting of the entire interstellar alliance's main flagship, and this kind of thing can only be done by these unslick Xiling apostles.

A huge planetary battleship with a volume equal to one and a half times the size of the Earth, the "Zero" 7 has come to a standstill in the predetermined orbit, and until then it has been rushing at full speed with a coordinate-like engine, which propels huge objects to move at high speed regardless of mass and acceleration by continuously and tiny modifications of spatial coordinates in higher dimensions, and in the case of not being able to use the Abyss of Ghost Energy as the core of the starship, it will take about five minutes for "Zero" 7 to restore the energy supply after it is in place, During this time, the starship itself was very weak, with only about 10,000 Shining heavy frigates able to protect it, which was the only chance to attack a starship fleet, but it seemed that the guardians of Tedaclan were not willing to do so.

When the Seven Planet Battleship unfolded its escort formation, and the energy core that overlapped the connection ports of one hundred and twenty-seven Chrono Spectral Energy Wells inside was slowly burning, a blue starlight floated on the surface of the Tedakland Star, which looked like an eternity-level galaxy was gathering energy, but in fact, it was a large number of Protos people refining their spiritual energy, and then converging on hundreds of huge buildings on the surface of the planet, those buildings were amazingly high, It even punctures the thick atmosphere filled with methane and carbon dioxide, stretches out small balls in low-earth orbit, looking like the tentacles of insects, and at the root of these buildings are a large number of crystal structures, these alienated crystal towers inject immeasurable "ghost energy" into the tower building, the main source of these ghost energy is the crystal tower built on the surface of the planet and the Protos warships hovering in the planet's atmosphere, and the other part comes from all the Protos "Protoss" of the entire planet, This powerful energy caused hundreds of towers built on the surface of the planet to emit a blinding blue-white light, and then a huge energy field appeared tens of thousands of kilometers outside the atmosphere of Tedaclan.

"It looks like a mirror."

After analyzing the data sent back by the starship, Tavel quickly judged the principle of these things, of course, she was not referring to the shape of the gray cloud of energy, but its principle and structure.

"It's surrounded by strong spatial mirroring and gravitational disturbances, almost the limit of what Protos can reach, and the other side seem to be trying their best to avoid the possibility of contact with the mass-energy transformation rays, perhaps they have been clever enough to discover the nature of this light to swallow any energy and matter indiscriminately, so they intend to use this method to deflect it before it makes contact—theoretically."

"Does this work?" Naturally, I didn't understand a lot of jargon—though Tavel had omitted as many terms as he could......

"If they had enough energy, they might be able to deflect the first shot, but the second shot wouldn't be able to be deflected."

"Then you don't need a ray," Sandora ordered coldly, "Conventional weapons are fine, whatever method you use, I ask Tedacran to be completely destroyed in the first attack of the Emperor, we don't need to fight back." ”

"Everything will be as you wish."

Sivis bowed respectfully and began to choose the weapon that Shandora had requested.

Maybe after this star area calms down, the soldiers who have participated in this strange war will suddenly wake up, how boring the original resistance was, no matter how much you pay, even if you can really prevent the destruction of the planet Tedaclan at the very end, or even destroy a planet warship, it will be meaningless to the entire war, there are hundreds of such planet warships, and the latter is just an expeditionary force, no one can imagine how strong the complete strength of the Xiling Empire should be, The damage to the Khiring Empire would not be greater than the amount of damage done to the Helling Empire by using the strength of all races in the entire Kpru Star Sector, but at this moment, Tadalim's defenders were still putting up a futile resistance, trying to deflect the deadly decomposition ray with the most powerful spatial refractor they had condensed, as if it would turn the tide of the battle - to be honest, at this point, Tadalim's resistance was no longer a victory for them, And it is merely a manifestation of the spirit, which has no meaning at all except to prove the courage of these fanatics.

The giant battleship - maybe it can no longer be called a battleship, the huge planet incarnated as a weapon and the gray-blue planet Tedaclan are far away from each other, the distance between them may be very close on a macro scale, and even like two fighters wrestling in close quarters are standing opposite each other, but in fact, the distance between the two is nearly a million kilometers, the huge planet warship and the heavily guarded Tedaclan are not more than a bean in the eyes of the other party, and the optimal launch distance of the mass energy transformation ray has not yet been reached here, Therefore, Tadalim's defense force is still trying its best to prepare, focusing on the "mirror" that has been strengthened to the point that it can no longer be strong, and doing everything possible to save the planet from being irradiated by that light, while the remaining mobile forces are on standby in the planet's low-earth orbit, preparing the Xiling escort formation to launch a direct attack if the decomposition ray is ineffective.

In fact, the attack on Tedaclan has already begun - the Shiling starship has not activated its own gravitational adjustment system, and under the effect of gravity, Tedaclan's orbit is slowly changing, but no one cares about this now: if the starship attacks, Tedaclan will not have even one atom left, and then the orbit or anything will be meaningless.

There is still a considerable distance from the optimal range of the mass energy transformation ray, but the Xiling Planet battleship stopped at that location, without advancing a bit, under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the crust of this "spaceship" is slowly cracking, and the huge rift that already exists is like rapidly drying skin quickly penetrating the entire planet's surface, and the complex mechanical structure and crystal system below flashed a warning red light, gradually exposing like the pulsating flesh and blood in the body of a giant beast, and the entire starship is slowly opening, Tadalim's warriors knew that this was a precursor to an impending attack on the starship, and that when its equator opened thirty degrees, the dark red core would ......

Wait, it's still open

While Tadalim's officer was still curious about what enemy would activate his weapon from outside the firing range, he suddenly discovered this disturbing fact, the star warship of Emperor Xiling** was still slowly opening its "crust", not thirty degrees, but along the equator The whole process of turning into two halves may seem slow, but zooming in to the entire planet is surprisingly fast, and within a few minutes, the Death Star has completely changed into a different picture: it has completely split from the equatorial part, The northern and southern hemispheres were also evenly divided into four parts, yes, like a watermelon cut from the upper cross and then stabbed at the waist, the Star Battleship was divided into eight parts that were not too regular, far away from each other, and the dark red core was suspended in the dark space out of thin air, as if the giant had cut open his chest and held out his heart for people to see, and the unsettling red light still flickered regularly on the inside of the eight pieces of the Star Battleship, The possibility of the starship disintegrating by accident has been completely ruled out - in fact, this possibility is just something that the "inresolute" use to comfort themselves.

"Attack all the units, attack that core at full speed, hurry up and hurry up before it attacks"

Tadalim's commander was shouting frantically in the command channel, but it was too late.

The star of Tedaclan began to tremble, and the violent, global earthquake was just the beginning, and in space, the gray-blue mineral planet was slowly bulging towards the side of the Hyring starship, as if there was a bubble expanding underneath, and then some white mist began to emerge from this expansion area, which was a precursor to the imminent eruption of magma underground, and hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, the core of "Zero" 7 was still emitting a dim red light, It was like a calm eye watching the changes on the planet.

Tadalim had already figured out what this attack was, and in fact it was more primitive than the mysterious light that could erase the entire planet from the physical plane, and even humans could relate to it: a gravitational generator, a gravitational generator capable of tearing apart a planet.

But that wasn't the end of it, the attacking Star Battleship didn't seem to be satisfied with such a boring wait-and-see, it trembled slightly, and then began to move slowly - not in the direction of Tedaclan, but to the side, but soon, this lateral shift proved to be arcanary, it was part of an arc centered on Tedaclan, which was becoming more and more obvious in space at an increasing speed, and the Star Battleship that was hanging Tedaclan with gravitational weapons completely ignored its own mass and inertia, In the graceful posture of a ballet dancer, he completes this amazing whirlwind in one minute, crossing a perfect semicircle, and then stopping abruptly.

The gravitational noose changed direction in an instant, and the disintegrating Teydaclan and its defending forces before they had time to set off were pulled away from their original orbits in an instant.

It was like flicking a small ball of iron with a rope, and Tedakran was choked by the throat and flung in the other direction - its sun

Nearly 100 billion pairs of eyes in the Kpru Star Sector witnessed this tragic scene, and the warships of the Xiling Empire showed in the most primitive and savage way how far the difference in force could go, a planet was forcibly dragged out of its orbit by a gravitational hinge, and then thrown into the sun below it like a piece of garbage

Of course, before that, Tedaclan had completely disintegrated in the gravitational turmoil, its star structure fell apart, the exploding crust and mantle shattered its original guard fleet, and all the life on it died as early as the moment the planet changed orbit, and finally fell to the sun only a fragment of the planet that could barely see the shape, and due to the distance, this falling process may last for a month, and the main structure of Tedaclan will be vaporized in a circle around the sun before touching the corona - For a planet, this is already quite a heroic way of dying.

The whole attack was over, and it took 29 minutes and 38 seconds before the doomsday notice was issued, and the attack took only 5 minutes, and the Star Battleship used 5 minutes and a hammer ball to inform the rats who rebelled against the Empire that the cats were tired of playing.

When the entire sector fell into a temporary silence due to the "battle" of this unusually tragic (mainly the first planet laden with life to be destroyed, and the previously destroyed planets were basically mineral planets that few people knew about), Zeratul brought us a piece of news.

Shakulas's scouts discovered an ancient "holy place" in a hidden space, where the source of revelation was.

All I can say is that Tadalim is so unlucky that they may be a day away from the end of the war...... Of course, perhaps even if the Revelation was removed, they would still choose to fight against the Empire, something that even Zeratul was convinced of.

The Dark Templar society of Shakulas was the first to know about what had happened to Tedaclan, but they only expressed a slight regret about it, and from this point I once again felt the bigotry of the Protos race and their callousness towards the dissidents, such a race that is prone to falling into extremes and stagnating, I really don't know if they are superior or ...... compared to humans

Forget it, what kind of heart am I doing for those religious maniacs?

"But I didn't expect you to destroy a planet in this way - throwing it into the sun is probably the most barbaric way to assert power."

On the way to the "Holy Land" in Zeratul's mouth on the Imperial Admiral, the Queen of Blades, who had gained restricted freedom, said to me from the bridge.

"I smell a conspiracy, a conspiracy that plots the entire sector and your so-called strongest races," the Queen of Blades always had an unpredictable look on her face that seemed to be a smile, "you...... Oh my gosh."

Me: "...... Little Bubbles, I said it, you can't bite Kerrigan's bone wings......"
