Chapter 196: The Crumbling Empire
More than a dozen wing-shaped, orange-painted spaceships sped through the universe, dragging four blue kinetic ray trajectories behind them.
The ships themselves aren't too big, but they're extremely fast.
They were a small detachment fleet, and at the moment they seemed to be fleeing, and not far behind them, they were chasing another fleet of ships with a completely different shape, all covered in pure silver paint.
From time to time, you can also see the silver ships behind emitting high-energy rays that illuminate the universe, and one after another attacks continue to harass the fleet ships in front.
"Sir, our shield system is already seventy percent loaded, and if we continue like this, before we reach the next relocation point, I'm afraid that those Cherita fleets behind us will take us."
In the lead of a large spread-wing spaceship, several Nova Empire people in the main control room were sweating profusely operating the ship's control system.
The artificial intelligence that was supposed to control the operation of the spaceship was being remotely invaded by the Cherita fleet at the moment, and at this moment the main control computers on both sides were fighting fiercely in the data world, and they could only control some fine spaceship control work in the original form of artificial.
A Nova man in a dark blue military uniform looked up at the supreme commander of their fleet.
"Isn't the weapon system online yet?"
The tall commander standing behind everyone was also in a cold sweat with his hands behind his back.
The Nova Empire people look very similar to humans, except that they were once a powerful interstellar civilization, while humans are just natives who can only live on Earth.
The tall, handsome commander had an agitation in his eyes.
"The system failure is still being repaired, and it is expected to take another ten minutes"
A female operator reported uneasily.
"Ten minutes, another ten minutes, and the shield won't hold up at all!"
The commander roared.
"Damn Thanos! Damn the Cherita Legion, damn the Kree! ”
"Sir, now we can only forcibly open a short-distance migration, and with our limited defense, we can make the rear ships separate five to carry out strong electromagnetic interference, so that the enemy may be able to force the pursuit of us!"
One operator suggested.
"But that's going to keep five ships here forever, and it's going to send them to their deaths."
One operator questioned.
"Sir, there's no time to think about it now, otherwise it won't last ten minutes at all, and I'm afraid all of us will have to stay here!"
The operator snapped in a snap of emphasis.
"Is there any news from the main fleet?"
The commander's face was extremely ugly, and he asked again.
"Nope."
The operator in charge of communications shook his head.
In fact, he didn't say a word, the main fleet has not had any reply signal for so long, and I am afraid that it is already more than lucky.
Now the war situation is almost one-sided, the Nova Empire is besieged by Cherita, the Cree, and the space mercenaries, and more than a dozen colony stars have been uprooted in the past half a year, and the once powerful interstellar empire has reached the brink of danger.
The universe is not peaceful, conquest and plunder, fighting and exploration, all the time in this cold and lonely world.
On the distant earth, human civilization has suffered a catastrophe like a doomsday wasteland, and at the same time, the interstellar war between different civilizations is also in full swing, and it is getting higher and higher.
In the incomparably huge galaxy, the interstellar power structure has undergone major changes, and the interstellar legion led by Thanos is sweeping everything, not to mention that the Nova Empire can only be defended hard, and even the capital Xingshandal has been completely destroyed, and several other huge forces, such as the Krees, have completely joined Thanos's team and tore up the peace agreement, or just like the Skuru Empire has completely shrunk its head, and some slightly weaker civilization forces are even as usual, Even a symbolic stand up and jointly denounce it is gone.
Almost everyone received the news that the cruel butcher Thanos had snatched two Infinite Primordial Stones representing power and reality, and that no matter who was against Thanos, the fate of Xandar Star was the best deterrent.
In the face of this kind of power, even if you use the power of civilization, it is difficult to oppose the infinite primordial stone that represents the origin law of the universe.
Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that the Thanos Legion is purging the Nova Empire, it can be said that outside of the Kree Empire, almost all interstellar forces are stepping up the development of farther and faster faster-than-light shuttle means to accelerate their iterative upgrades, whether it is the Stargate, or the Migration Engine, the Curvature Drive, etc. - all civilizations are trying to escape the galaxy and leave to go farther.
If you can't beat it, you can run, this is a very simple reality.
Not to mention that after all, the Nova Empire, as an old interstellar civilization, has been stubbornly fighting with the Thanos Legion and the Kree Empire for so long, although it has been losing and retreating, but it is precisely because of this hard bone that other civilization forces have this time to prepare for escape.
The perspective returns to the small fleet of the Nova Empire, which was separated from the main fleet, and at this moment the commander ship, everyone is looking at their immediate superior, waiting for his decision.
The tall commander was silent for a long time, but finally let out a long sigh and spoke.
"Inform our last B74431 Blazing Sky Ship, B74431, B7451, B76422, B75001, start the spacecraft energy overload, turn on the load strong electromagnetic impact, and all other ship members immediately go to the escape pod"
The commander's tone was heavy, because he knew that once the overload electromagnetic shock was activated, it would basically mean that the ship itself would explode.
Everything is immune, and the impact will cause a raging cosmic thundercloud, which will give them a moment of respite and hinder the pursuit of the fleet by Cherita.
It's just that the crews of these five ships, even if they enter the escape pod, I'm afraid the chance of survival is less than five percent
As the operator said just now, his order is equivalent to giving up the five ships at the back and sending them to their deaths.
"Wait! Sir, the radar has detected an unknown energy coming in the direction of our ship! ”
Suddenly, at this moment, the operator in charge of the spatial domain monitoring scan suddenly shouted.
"Unidentified energy?"
The commander was stunned for a moment and looked at him.
"What is this, such a strange energy ripple, the radar system has detected this energy density is estimated to be 1.3 billion Nova?! The speed is nearly twice the speed of light."
The operator pulled up the projection screen and looked at the estimated data parameters floating on it, a little silly.
"What?!"
The Commander took a step forward and slapped his hands on the console, his eyes fixed on the mobilized blue projection screen.
"What is this? Could it be that someone has launched a faster-than-light strike on us? ”
"No, it can't be, who would launch a faster-than-light strike against a lost fleet like ours? Wait, if it's really a faster-than-light strike, after our space radar detects it, at the current rate, it is expected that the ship will be attacked in 23 seconds! ”
The operator monitoring the radar data was already drenched in a cold sweat.
"No, it's not a faster-than-light strike, the other party slowed down!"
The operator suddenly shouted again.
His state of mind at the moment was like a roller coaster, and his heart almost rose to his throat.
"Turn on Visual Detection Analog Imaging!"
The commander seemed to think of something at this moment, suddenly calmed down a lot, and opened his mouth to command.
