304 Amber of Space
Commorragh is the largest and most important node city in the entire network system, and it is also the central hub of the network transportation of the Ancient Spirit Empire, and its position is so important that no faction within the Spirit Empire wants to see it controlled by any other faction.
As a result, the Comoros eventually took control of themselves, and were granted complete autonomy by the Spirit Parliament at the time.
Lacking the supervision of the Spirit Council, Comoros has attracted a large number of outlaws who roam sensitive areas or dangerous people who do not want their actions to be known to others, hence the name Dark City.
However, despite being called a 'city', Comoros is not actually a single city, but consists of multiple network ports and private territories, satellite domains... A large collection system, even including stars that have been pulled into the network by the Elves with spells to power the Dark City.
The various components of the Comoros system may be thousands or even tens of thousands of light-years away from each other in the physical universe, loosely linked together by the nature of the network system across time and space, and their concept of existence is very ambiguous.
Because of this loose nature, it is almost impossible for the outside world to capture the entire Comoros system, and even if the main city of the former port does fall, the large number of fringe subsystems scattered throughout the galaxy is enough to make any military general anxious.
But Russell was not included in these people.
In the vast network, an incalculable number of starship battle groups densely occupy all the space that can be moved, and battleships rarely seen in the human empire operate here in units of '100,000', on the scale of battle groups, and under the command of the Gray Wind Lord Consciousness, they go from various forks in the road to destroy all known subsystems in Comoros.
As for the main city of Comoros, Russell is in charge of it himself.
This made the officers who were ordered to assemble a little apprehensive.
"Attacking the main city of Comoros, is it really necessary to gather some more fleets? We have enough troops...... Maybe it's enough. ”
The captain of a Titan ship raised his head slightly and looked up at the star player sitting in the main seat, and proposed: "Even if we bet 100 million starship battle groups for each known subsystem of Comoros to ensure victory, we still have the ability to ensure that tens of billions of starships will be sent over the main city of Comoros, but why ......"
Why did Russell summon less than a thousand Titans in this general attack?
That's too little......
The number of ships that the federal power now has cannot be said to be in the hundreds of millions, in fact, even Gray Wind does not know how many ships Inverse Entropy has built over the years, which is beyond her statistical limits. The only thing that is certain is that the number of controlled starships now can be measured relatively conservatively by using '100 billion' as a unit.
This is a rough statistic without including those starships that have gone into a dead end and become lost in subspace while exploring the network.
"A thousand Titans are indeed a little less, but they are barely enough to deal with the Comoros." Russell said: "Before you came, you should have connected with the engineering department, right?" ”
"Well, there were." Another officer thought for a moment and gave an answer: "After locking the coordinates of the network in the main city of Comoros, the engineering department urgently recalled a group of large ships to work overnight, and installed a large module called the 'Omega Cohomology Device' on the bridge of about 1,000 Titans......"
"So it's not that I don't want to mobilize more fleets to attack Comoros, but even if the efficiency of the engineering department is squeezed to the limit, it can only complete the modification of 1,000 Titans."
There were still puzzled expressions on the faces of the officers in the audience, but Russell didn't give the slightest explanation, only left one sentence: "Only Titans who have completed the modification are eligible to participate in this mission, you just need to know this." Don't let me hear you ask me any more questions, now, go. And he left.
On the way to the ship, Grey Wind followed Russell and asked, "They are all puzzled about the current situation, why don't they explain to everyone the specific effect of the Omega Harmony Device?" At least let the captains know what they're going to do, right? ”
"Don't talk about it, save time." Russell said as he walked: "The principle of the Omega Harmony Device is not a matter of public interest. - Now is not the time to test the officers' ability to think independently, they just have to do what I say, and don't think about the rest. ”
"But acting with an unclear goal will lead to unstable morale, right?" Gray Wind nodded to his lips with one hand and whispered, "Even the most loyal soldiers can easily be shaken when they are sent by their superiors to carry out tasks with uncertain futures. ”
"Shaken and killed."
"Okay~" Gray Wind nodded, she also thought it was the easiest.
A thousand Titans loaded with Omega Harmonic devices led the convoy through the network to the vicinity of the main city of the Comoros.
The Dark Spirits, who learned that their coordinates were exposed, had been on high alert, and the Titan formation was spotted almost as soon as they approached.
Comoros was ready for all-out war, but unexpectedly, the human fleet, with superior firepower, did not move in a swarm or approach the pitch-black giant city entity.
The 1,000 Titans and their escort ships spread out in all directions, taking their positions according to the coordinates that had already been decided, forming a three-dimensional encirclement network that would contain the entire main city.
"Six years is enough time for Comoros to revive a large number of the ancient legacies of the Spirit Empire, and we will pay a huge price if we attack rashly, so avoid head-on conflicts and solve them remotely." These are the words that Russell said to the captains before the war.
After retreating in a defensive posture for a while, the dark spirits in the city found that this ridiculously large fleet really did not seem to plan to attack themselves, but instead all the subsystems of the Comoros were reporting that they were being attacked, which made the city's archons sense that something was wrong.
"Do you plan to cut off our communication with the outside world by besieging the main city, and then send another army to eat the peripheral subsystems that have lost the support of the main city? The human commander's decision was reasonable...... "The Dark Spirit Archon thinks he sees the logic of the Federation fleet's actions.
Then the next response is also very simple.
"Activate the 'Spear of Orcos' and prepare to force your way through the encirclement!"
The archon gave the order, and soon an elite guerrilla fleet was gathered, carrying precious ancient relics waiting to be activated, and headed straight for the human giant ship that hung high in the sky and sealed off the dark city.
The forbidden weapons inherited from the heyday of the Elves were extremely dangerous, and the small guerrilla fleet of the Dark Elves was fast enough, but at this moment, it seemed to the sailors of the Federation Navy on the Titan Fortress that the fleet was moving extremely slowly.
It's ...... slow The trail of flames rising from the tail of the Spirit Bone Battleship can be seen with the naked eye.
"The flow of time in Comoros continues to slow down, but everything is normal, fine, and the omega consonance device continues to be on."
An order, passed between the warship commanders: "Let's freeze the main city of the Dark City into a giant piece of space-time amber." ”
And the bugs in amber, don't know anything about it.
