Chapter 472: The Reaper Army and the Repeater
The huge Red Tide fleet was basically wiped out, and this news instantly stirred up a thousand waves.
But there is much less schadenfreude, because the vast majority of people are beginning to worry about it in earnest.
The four main fleets with such a large scale, and the warships and weapon technology are also at the mainstream level, were just destroyed by the Reapers?
The monarch's shape, which is slightly different from that of the pioneers, has been spread throughout the star sector through the video materials of the remnants of the Red Tide.
The steel squid commands dozens of Collector asteroid warships and fights head-on with the Red Tide Fleet in the Sfar 63 system.
The six scarlet laser eyes, each time six laser rays are fired, they can shoot through six targets.
The thousands of meters high body was flowing with a blue special stance shield, blocking most of the attacks, and for small warships and fighters, the monarch didn't bother to fire at all, and directly crashed into it head-on.
Reaper aside, let's just say that if you want to destroy one of the dozens of Collector asteroid warships head-on, you must have at least four or five Dreadnought-class battleships to gather fire together and bombard one location until it penetrates the asteroid rock formation and blows up the internal battleship facilities.
Therefore, the armor-piercing projectile technology, which has been outdated for hundreds of years, has become popular again, and gunpowder weapons such as ground-penetrating artillery shells, submarine missiles, etc. have been welcomed by the military again, and a number of warships have unloaded their laser main guns and replaced them with gunpowder main guns.
The Sfar 63 system was already in shambles, covered with floating battleship wreckage and charred blackened corpses, where Red Tide had lost at least four-fifths of its fleet, and had now retracted to the Martian system of the Revolution to lick its wounds.
The collectors were happy, they were collecting a large number of corpses from the wreckage of the Red Tide Fleet, which could still be used for harvesting and transformation, even though they had been scorched and withered by the explosion or the cosmic vacuum.
At this moment, the Sfar 63 galaxy is entrenched in dozens of asteroid warships, plus a real reaper, so for a while, no Starlink fleet dares to take the initiative to attack, and all parties are discussing countermeasures, and at the same time monitoring each repeater to prevent the Collector warship from spreading outward.
The stupidest way is naturally to send a commando team to blow up the quantum repeater in the Sfar 63 system, completely abandoning this remote galaxy, making it impossible for the reaper and the army of collectors to make the jump, so as to buy time for the Star Alliance.
This method has even begun to work on a detailed course of action, and in the eyes of the Federation Council, it is well worth it to exchange a remote galaxy for valuable preparation time.
No matter how fast the Reaper is, it will take at least one to two years to fly from the Sfar 63 system to the nearest system with a repeater.
But in doing so, there is a serious extension problem: the creatures in the entire star field cannot escape, and they are completely lost to the reapers.
The Sfar 63 galaxy belongs to a subordinate galaxy in the Sfar star field, and in the next few galaxies, there lives a race called Batare, the Sfar star field is their only colony, and the nearest star field with a repeater is the birthplace of the home planet of the Batarui hegemonic empire, hundreds of years ago, the Batarui people jumped to the Sfar star field through the repeater in the origin star field, and regarded this as their second colony.
The Batarui hegemony did not join the Star Alliance, as can be seen from their name, this is a dictatorial imperial country, their Emperor His Majesty has not dealt with the Star Alliance Council very much, and the Star Alliance Council has always been unhappy with this dictatorship, so although there is no war conflict between the two, but the diplomatic relations are not much better, except for those merchant groups and mercenaries, there are not a few Batarui people in the prosperous Star District.
Now that the Sfar 63 system has fallen, the military staff of all races has come to the unanimous conclusion that the only reason why the Collectors are not continuing to spread out is because they are addicted to picking up garbage.
The large number of corpses left behind by the Red Tide fleet has not yet been picked up by the collectors, so in a way, the Red Tide has finally done something that everyone is grateful for.
The Batarui hegemony is not stupid, at the moment they are busy evacuating the people of the next few systems, trying to bring the here ...
Then out of thin air, there was a loud bang, and the repeater of the Sfar Star Field exploded.
That's right, it blew up...
Suspect: One of the members of the Masani commando, Hu Fenghu boss.
Oh, that's how it went ...
The Masani Commando, who were returning to the Fort Nexus space station, had a meeting on the way, and everyone sat down calmly to discuss how to stop the Collectors and buy time for the Star Alliance to fight back.
Boss Hu, the head coach of 100,000 reapers, spoke enthusiastically at the meeting and actively discussed a series of plans for reapers.
Then a very philosophical question was discussed: whether to blow up repeaters to buy time for tens of billions of people, or to put tens of billions of people in danger for the safe evacuation of hundreds of millions of people.
In the end, everyone unanimously concluded that the repeater in the Sfar field must have exploded.
So the question arises, who to send to bomb?
One hundred thousand reapers, total ... Ahem, commando Boss Hu volunteered again, and Mao recommended himself, he said that he was willing to carry out this fearless suicide mission.
Naomi, the girl from Quali, objected, and the atmosphere was extremely ambiguous.
Boss Hu was heroic, and immediately said that he didn't have to worry, as a demon, he had a secret way to get out, and gave everyone present a ritual method to summon demons and the necessary materials.
This kind of demon summoning ritual is not very complicated to talk about, just find a dark place, scribble a special rune circle on the ground, light a specific number of candles, put a related item of the demon you want to summon in the center of the circle, and then put a small piece of paper with the name of the demon written on it, and finally chant the summoning spell like a cultist, whether the summoned demon comes or not, it all depends on the meaning of the demon.
The Masani commandos hesitated, but they still chose to believe in this extremely magical way to get out, anyway, the angels and demons in ancient legends have appeared, and this group of magical creatures have some more magical ways, so it's not surprising...
That's fine, no one knows that the Masani commandos did it, they have an excellent alibi, they are already halfway back at this moment, separated from the Sfar Star Field, and unless some madman says that they blew the repeater with their minds, they will not be suspicious of them.
Well... For the sake of the safety of tens of billions of living beings in the prosperous star region, he did it!
After all, according to the information we have learned so far, the Reaper is likely to come from the Sfar Star Domain, and if the repeater is blown up, then the Collector will not be able to come, and the Star Federation can also reorganize its armament and fight at the same time, and deal with the strange race that suddenly appeared.
So, with dozens of nuclear bombs and a small quantum annihilation launcher that was still in the experimental stage, Boss Hu got on a shuttle, secretly broke away from the returning elite fleet, and went straight to the Sfar Star Field.
