(Today's update is early, and that's it!) ）

At a time when the Father and King Huron were both guests in the Imperial District, I'm sure it wasn't the Fallen Apostles' intentions, but they were played the worst joke by fate: it couldn't have come at the right time. ，

}

The two bigwigs almost got on the Imperial Admiral with a festive mentality......

Lin Xue's prophecy was quickly confirmed, and almost at the same time as the Royal Fleet and the largest Imperial First Legion set out on their journey, intelligence from the Frontier World Realm revealed that a large number of high concentrations of abyssal reactions had appeared in the void.

It is the army of fallen apostles, who will arrive in twenty-four hours.

There is plenty of time, we have at least a dozen hours to set up a new defensive line, the world realm on the edge of the empire is already heavily guarded, plus the two imperial ace armies that are about to arrive, the defense is enough to deal with this crisis, but on the way to the front line, I feel very wrong.

Of course, I wasn't surprised by the Fallen Apostles' attack, in fact, since we successfully raided the other side's three scientific realms not long ago, we were ready to respond to the enemy's retaliatory strike. Neither the Fallen Apostles nor the Hilin Apostles could turn a blind eye to such an attack, as long as Harran regrouped his army and was supported by other Fallen Apostles, the enemy's retaliatory strike would surely come, and in the case that both sides had already touched each other's homeland, the most likely target of such a retaliatory strike would be the borders of the Imperial Zone.

In the previous exercises, the experts of Sandora and the Third Intelligence Core all believed that the two universes numbered WNN3 and Wen116 that were most likely to be attacked should be the two worlds numbered WNN3 and Wen116, these two worlds were the universes that were most likely to have been exposed to the enemy's vision on the borders of the empire, and as the newly discovered worlds, there were only a few military stations and three or four colonized planets, which were not strategically significant, but they were suitable springboards to the deeper depths of the void, for the fallen apostles, These two realms were easy to attack, although they could not deal much damage to the military strength of the new empire. However, it can greatly slow down the expansion of the new empire's territory, which should be the best target for attack. It is also based on the results of this deduction that Sandora has recently been deploying troops to strengthen the defense of these two worldly realms that only have numbers and no names.

However, according to the intelligence coming from the border. The location of the abyssal reaction is outside another frontier realm: xf35a.

According to the Empire's recently revised naming rules for the Frontier Realm, newly discovered or non-colonized universes do not have an official name (although its native inhabitants may have a name for their own universe), and it only has a set of codes, which are made up of letters and numbers. The first part of the letter represents the void quadrant where the world is located and the energy level at the time of discovery (I still don't know what the void quadrant is), the second part is the serial number at the time of registration, and generally those who are not valued in the world are named with these two parts, but in special cases, the serial number of these frontier world will have a third part: a letter. b, a, or s, represent that they are of no significant value in themselves, but that they serve as a springboard to a realm of great value. Universes with the suffix b represent that they have a gateway to the general Epochal realm, such as a Martian shelter or a colony, and universes with the suffix A represent that they lead to a military realm. Like Azeroth or the Vidis Empire. There are currently only two or three Frontier Universes with the suffix S, and this letter means that it can be teleported directly to the Imperial Capital - usually such a world realm is a place bordering the Star Divine Realm.

XF35A is located on the border, and as a springboard, it leads directly to the universe where the Pangalactic Civilization Community is located. It is a big project that we drag from the depths of the void (that is, to modify the information representation of the entire world realm, so that it can obtain new void "coordinates". But it's worth the money), which acts as a window for the Celestial System fleet to jump into the Desolate World. The reason why we have to set up such a springboard. It is because of the huge size and huge information disturbance phenomenon of the Ghost Energy Death Star that every time it transmits, it will cause damage to the surrounding space, and the more urgent it is. **() This kind of damage is more significant, so we link a springboard next to the closed universe where the community is located, and the Spectral Death Star can fall into this close "springboard" in a low-energy way, and then accelerate to the battlefield with impunity, anyway, XF35A has no life, and we don't have to worry about how many galaxies the Celestial System fleet will tear apart in the process of forcibly jumping. And Sandora and I hope that this world will serve as a bridgehead for a larger military campaign against the Fallen Apostles in the future, when it may have its own name.

Obviously, in such a place, the defense is quite tight.

The Fallen Apostle's attack on such a hard bone is what makes people feel the most abnormal - not to mention that this XF35A is also connected to a hard bone that is even harder than it.

The universe in which the Community is located is heavily defended, stationed with heavy troops, not only docked with the most powerful super-sized fleet of the Empire, but also inhabited by the most ferocious servant army of the new Empire, you can imagine how strong its military power can be, even regardless of the Imperial fleet stationed there, to the Fallen Apostles, the combined fleet of the Community should be an enemy that impresses them. In the barbaric area between the borders of the Imperial Zone and the borders of the Fallen Apostles, the Emperor has had many encounters with the fleet of the Fallen Apostles, basically the kind of blitzkrieg that quickly annihilates the other party as soon as they meet and then turns around and runs away, in this kind of battle, the fierce and violent Community fleet is almost as dangerous as the regular army of the Empire, and they have the most sophisticated equipment supported by the Empire (almost the good things of the regular army of Xiling, the gang and the "shepherds") The veteran pilots who have fought countless years of war are very familiar with these devices), and the most lethal mad pilot in the multiverse except for the Apostle of Hilling, the Fallen Apostle took it lightly when he first encountered these mortal fleets, and as a result, he suffered a lot of losses in the face of the Community pilot's "**** all ammunition in one minute" convulsion tactic.

And the small team sent by the Fallen Apostles to inquire about intelligence several times before will encounter this group of wolves near XF35A every time, so they should know that these servant armies with abnormal combat effectiveness are stationed next to XF35A, and there will definitely be Imperial regular legions stationed near such special servant armies, just like if you see a group of hunting dogs in the forest, you should first guess that there must be a group of hunters with guns nearby, and there is definitely a group of Imperial fleets stationed in places where the Community fleet is frequented, Therefore, even if they don't know the location of the Dao Community Universe, the Fallen Apostles shouldn't rashly attack XF35A.

"Thirty minutes later, the ship will reach its target."

The sound of the ship's main engine on the radio interrupted my thoughts, and before I knew it, the fleet was almost at the end. Sandora was studying the battle report in front of her, noticing that I was returning from my fugue state, and she waved at me.

"The enemy is swaggering. Not a sneak attack. ”

"The enemy's abyssal reaction is not camouflaged, and their fleet is not making many deceptive jumps. I can say that I came straight up. At present, a large number of signals have been gathered outside the barrier of the World Realm of this universe, and the number is still increasing rapidly, I don't know how many spaceships they have gathered. This is a strong attack, and they just want to take out the XF35A as a springboard. ”

"What are you attacking?" Shallow lying on my arm, his face confused. "Isn't this being watched?"

"If you don't attack, you won't be watched?" I shrugged my shoulders and bit my tongue suddenly, "We have a prophet here, they should have known the Tao a long time ago, so there is no possibility of them sneaking up at all." ”

The eldest lady immediately raised her chin triumphantly. Asa began to cover her mouth and glared at me.

"I always felt that something wasn't right," my sister looked worriedly at the holographic projection, which was marked with more and more space as a possible breach point, "XF35A is not an easy place to take down, the Fallen Apostles have hit the nail here several times, they can't have imagined that there is a heavy guard here." ”

It seems that I am not the only one who has thought of this, and after my sister's voice fell, Sandora also nodded in agreement, but who can say for sure the actions of the fallen apostles?

Then. All the fleets that had come to fortify the line had already arrived at the position. The ship's host turned on the Imperial Admiral's external observation equipment, and the scene from space was teleported directly to a giant holographic projection in the center of the command hall.

What emerges before our eyes is an iron-gray chaos: many parts of XF35A space are filled with aerosol-like clouds of heavy metals and unstable compounds, often hundreds of millions of light-years wide, which are the main celestial system in the universe, which is now the iron-gray area that is now permeating the fleet. Due to the difference in some physical constants, the number of planets with fixed forms in this universe is extremely rare. And it is often impossible to run along a stable orbit for a long time, and the state of the whole space is like a thin and cold soup. Deep in the iron-gray haze before our eyes. There are some fuchsia cracks that are slowly expanding, and the radar system has marked these cracks with eye-catching colors and words. They are the barrier of the world that is gradually dissolving, and the judgment of the early warning radar is accurate, and several major breakthrough points of the Fallen Apostle fleet have been found.

Watching those cracks expand, we don't do nothing, although it is not cost-effective to attack the enemy fleet that is still in the void, but we can place some space mines on these cracks in advance, these dark mines may not be effective enough for the enemy's large units, but for the attack fleet with thin skin and little blood, it is almost a must-kill.

"The Garden of the Dead is online, and ninety-nine percent of the universe is under full surveillance," Sandora whispered, "and they'll be exposed wherever they come from. ”

"Just say if you need help," Sheila patted me on the shoulder, "I haven't done anything with Xingchen in years. ”

"Just watch," said Sandora, "we'll fight our own battles, and we'll fix ourselves." ”

"The barrier is shattering, and massive masses are being generated from within the space." The ship's main engine sounded an alarm to interrupt their conversation, and the bridge flashed red for a moment, and entered a combat state, and then the largest spatial rift on the holographic screen was enveloped by a continuous burst of explosions. It was the space mine that was activated, and the enemy's vanguard had entered the material level, and the first thing that greeted them was a high-yield bomb.

"It's a strong attack." My sister tugged at the corners of her mouth, looking at the small black dots that kept rushing out of the afterglow of the explosion, which were the raiding fleets that had broken through the blockade, and behind them, more huge black shadows were gradually poking their heads out of the iron-gray mist and bright explosion light clusters.

"A second wave of space mines has been tapped," a commander reported in the communications link, "and more enemy ships are taking shape." ”

"Put the Bastion missiles, don't skimp on firepower, they are not afraid of battle damage this time." Sandora immediately ordered the release of the giant warheads for the mothership, as the radar showed that the enemy's mothership formation was immediately behind the raiding fleet. It's like a big army of flat push tactics.

The Bastion missile, in the current imperial arsenal, refers to two types of jump warheads, one is the "X3 gravedigger". The super-heavy jump missile, which has a body length of several hundred meters, can space-jump near the target and then be guided at the end, and its warhead has a high concentration of ghostly energy "plasma" balls buried in it, relying on ghostly energy explosions to produce crude and effective direct kill. The second is the recently created X4 Knell, a sophisticated missile with a composite killing, which has the same propulsion mechanism as the gravedigger, but the warhead can produce a wide range of mathematical disturbances in addition to the ghost explosion, which can cause the strength of the strong and weak mutual forces in the target area to be confused or even disappear for a short time. It can also induce spatial collapse and even dimensional collapse, and its lethal effect is almost infinite for units with entities: the spectral explosion first destroys the enemy's possible spectral shields, and then the laws of mathematics begin to tear at their armor and hull. This is the astonishing effect of a set of "mathematical law distortion devices", a missile that comes from the reverse engineering of the Battle Song. Tavel created this "miniaturized" equipment when she tried to replicate the Law weapon on the Warsong, but due to a lack of skill, she was unable to keep it running stably for long after activation. It can only run for a minute. At first we thought it was a waste, but soon the scientists with no lower limit realized that it was a perfect fit for a heavy missile: a missile's warhead would take a few seconds anyway.

And so the "X4 Death Knell" was born.

However, due to the fact that the manufacturing process requires a special Xiling host to personally supervise and debug, the war factories that are currently capable of manufacturing the "X4 Death Knell" are concentrated in the capital of the world, and this kind of fortress missile with limited production is only equipped on the Royal Fleet and the First Army, and the defense forces in the frontier region cannot afford to use this thing, and the "X3 Gravedigger" is still the mainstay of the Imperial Leap Missile family.

A super-heavy missile as huge as the Tower of Babel burst out of the silo wrapped in a dazzling blue light. Ripples were torn through the air, and in a few seconds they bombarded enemy formations that were still tens of millions of kilometers away. Follow-up missiles are like swarms, rushing towards the target in swarms. Ensure the continuity of firepower: The mothership has thick skin and thick flesh, and the shield recharge speed is extremely fast, if you can't ensure the continuity of firepower, it is equivalent to tickling.

At the same time, the galaxy began to recharge, waiting for the perfect moment for an all-out bombardment: when the enemy's fortress ships were destroyed by those super-heavy warheads.

The Home Defence forces had approached the rifts from the flanks, and behind them were the larger Combined Community fleets, where wolves were waiting for an opportunity to bite the back of the enemy's ass when the Fallen Apostles' fleet had to take on the Royal Fleet head-on. So far, it seems that everything is under control, frontal assault and prepared defensive battles add up to such a boring thing, the tricks that can be played by both sides are really limited, and the mothership formation is a rough and simple firepower contest after the most difficult confrontation, of course, the defender should be a little more flexible: after all, we still have a space fortress and positional artillery to provide support, and the home defense force and the servant army are also mobile forces that can be flexibly mobilized.

"More enemy ships are entering this realm," Sandora's expression grew serious, "but not that Harran's army...... Look at these images, which came back from the line of fire, and these marks are the military insignia of another fallen emperor. ”

"I'm a little uncomfortable," Lin Xue suddenly covered her head and muttered, "They seem to be trying to interfere with me, these fleets...... Is there a strong source of interference in it? ”

Sandora hurriedly searched, and after a moment found something, and immediately exclaimed, "Here! A battleship that has never been seen before, the energy response is amazing! ”

It looks like a half-rotten tomato, pitted, and covered with thunderbolts, and the image is extremely unstable when the radar focuses on this ugly monster, and the scan results show that its energy response exceeds that of any kind of capital battleship. However, this thing doesn't seem to have offensive power, except for constantly releasing chaotic information pulses and ghost energy radiation, it hides in the escort group of countless motherships on the ground, and does not participate in the battle.

"The picture is starting to blur...... Knock this thing out! The eldest lady covered her head, trying to concentrate, "It's interfering with me!" ”

"Then we have to take out the hundreds of Eternity-class ships blocking the middle of the road first," Sandora realized that the situation might not be right, but the ugly monster-like thing was protected by layers and couldn't hurt it at all in a short time, "The Garden of the Dead, try to see if you can pull it out!" ”

The Garden of the Dead has the power to manipulate the data of another part of the universe across the void, which also includes modifying the spatial coordinates of some places, such as making two star systems in the otherworldly world collide together, such a murderous thing, under the effect of the Garden of the Dead, the rotten persimmon-shaped thing disappeared in an instant, but just when we thought it would fall into the Emperor's firepower network, it appeared in the same place again.

"Okay, space anchoring, multi-layer false coordinates," Sandora slammed the table, "Lin Xue, how are you?" ”

"Headache, dizziness, blurred vision when looking into the future," Lin Xue took a few deep breaths, "but after stopping the prophecy ability, there will be no trouble." They're pretty good, and they've made such a thing to deal with Miss Ben. ”

"I'm more worried about one thing now," Sandora frowned, "what the hell are they trying to do by blocking the Prophet's eyes!?" (To be continued......)
