Chapter 259: Hades Galaxy
……
Crimson Scar Star Zone.
Compared to the environment of most of the Empire's star regions, the environment here in Crimson Scar is extremely harsh.
There is radiation in the sector, and this excess radiation even causes the surface of every star in every galaxy in the sector to be blood-red.
The planet where the ninth genetic protogen, St. Giles, grew up, is in the Crimson Scar Zone, and the Holy Blood Angel Warband and all the other angel heirs regard Baal as their home planet.
Baal's galaxy is far more important than any other galaxy in the region, with Hades being the second most important.
But to Foros, the leader of the Weepers, the third planet in Hades is more important than Baal, who has never been there, because it is his home planet, the place where he grew up hundreds of years ago before becoming an imperial angel.
So, the Storm Woman's first destination is not Baal, but the Hades system.
When the warband's flagship emerged from dimensional space, Forros and the company commanders on the bridge saw the Hades system.
Tessa, who had just arrived from the engine compartment, also saw it.
Not wanting to provoke the defending armies and fleets in the area, Tessa deliberately set the dimensional detachment point as the edge of the galaxy.
In order for a ship to sail into the interior of the galaxy, it must first cross an asteroid belt.
"Don't just sail over it." Foros ordered Tessa, "Those asteroids have unusually low temperatures that will freeze the ships that pass through them. ”
"Yes." Tessa nodded, looked at the planetary belt outside the porthole, and muttered, "Is this the shield of brilliance you once talked about, Commander?" ”
Foros was surprised by Tessa's good memory and nodded at the same time.
When she rescued the young Tessa sisters from a plague-ridden planet, Foros worked as a babysitter for a while.
No way, who made the Tyrone system a place where even the Anglican priest can be infected with the plague of unfaith......
Until the Tessa sisters were taken to the Tyrone system and entered the orphanage, Foros would tell Tessa the story of the Hades system every night.
The asteroid belt, called the Shield of Radiance, which can freeze ships, is also told.
Foros even said that the Radiant Shield is part of the system's defenses, and that hostile ships from outside the country will not be able to attack Hades if they cannot find a route through the Radiant Shield.
"We're using an energy shield, so we should be able to go straight through." Tessa did the math and then told Fors the results.
Foros didn't respond immediately, he stared out of the porthole in a daze.
The company commanders could see that Foros was distracted, and he had been thinking about something else since he was about to break away from dimensional space, as if he had gone back to a long, long time.
The Storm Maiden's flagship could pass directly through the Radiant Shield, but in Foros's memory, the ship he was on couldn't.
"Keep sailing." The commander of the first company did not bother Foross and turned to Tessa to give an order.
The flagship sails at full speed.
Upon entering the Radiant Shield, the energy shield is covered in frost, which does not affect the shield, but causes every corner of the shield to be activated, and its size and range are visible.
The flagship shuttled through the shield of radiance, some asteroids were bounced away by the energy shield, and the vision ahead gradually became clearer.
By the time the flagship was about to reach the edge, everyone in the bridge could already see the current state of Hades through the portholes.
It was a hellish sight in front of me.
Floating in the Hades system is a dense mass of huge creatures, which are as large as warships.
A black mist of countless black dots traveled back and forth between each planet and the creature warship.
With the exception of the two iconic stars of the Hades Galaxy, the rest of the galaxy has changed.
Tessa looked worriedly at Foros's back and saw that the war leader was trembling.
At this point, the flagship's automatic scanning wave probes the entire galaxy and transmits the results back to the bridge.
A projection of data appeared in front of everyone.
[Zerg Biological Battleships: 39,782 ships. 】
[Zerg creatures: countless. 】
[Number of humans in the galaxy: 0.] 】
[Data Assessment: Every planet in this galaxy has lost its value, and there are no allies, no humans, only bugs. In addition, most of the planets in the galaxy have been burned by solar energy, and the reason is unknown. 】
"Commander!" A company commander walked briskly up to Foros, hoping that he would give the order to leave the system.
Some of the bio-warships had noticed the Storm Maiden coming out of the Shield of Light, the massive black mist of countless small bugs rushing towards the flagship.
"Two more kilometers ahead, as long as I can see the ocean of Hades-3." Foros said.
His voice was less like a command and more like a begging.
"Prepare for battle." The company commander reminded the others and turned away from the bridge to defend the part of the hull where the bugs might land after the energy shield shattered.
The seven hundred Weeping Space Marines on board the battleship were all mobilized and rushed to the edge of the hull with their mortal minions to join the defense.
But this is just the instinct of the whole weeping person who has been bitten by a snake for ten years and is afraid of the well rope, and it is probably meaningless.
The energy shield doesn't shatter easily, it's enough to protect the Storm Lady's path to Hades III and back again.
As the bio-battleship approached, the battleship's weapons fired.
Spears of particle light slashed through the dark void, tearing the creature in half or piercing it through, causing collateral damage that caused the creature to burn in flames.
It's not that the flames are spreading, it's that the biological structure of the biological battleship is heated by the particle light spear to spontaneous combustion, but quickly extinguishes in a vacuum without air.
"There are a lot of oceans on my home planet, but not as stable as the ones on Tyrone III, and we all live in giant moving machines to escape floods and tsunamis."
"It's like a land battleship."
Foros recalls to Tessa what he had told him.
"We fight the ocean, we struggle with radiation......"
"While all of us have to take anti-radiation drugs to survive, we have never succumbed to the harsh environment."
“……”
The black mist had enveloped the Storm Girl, and the insects like carrier-based aircraft kept attacking and even crashed directly into the shield, and the flagship's melee weapons fired a barrage of bullets in the sky.
The flagship cut through the sea of worms, gradually getting closer to a position where Foros could see the surface of Hades-III.
Between the bugs and the near-bulletproof creta, Foros saw a bare planet with no ocean at all.
Tessa thinks either Foros is false, or the bugs have sucked the ocean dry.
"The Dimension Engine is fully charged."
The crew in the engine room reports to Tessa in the communication channel.
"Warlord ......" Tessa called to Foros softly.
Foros stared at the bare home planet for a few seconds and nodded, "Go to Baal." ”
After Tessa conveyed the order, the Storm Lady instantly entered dimensional space.
Everyone inside the battleship felt like they were out of hell and breathed a sigh of relief.
No one on board the Storm Lady saw it, and the next second after they left, a giant black sphere appeared in the Hades system.
The orb retreated into the gap between cosmic and dimensional space, and only its tentacles reached out of the crack, pulling the veins out of the ground on the planet at the edge of the galaxy.
If you really don't want to live too far from your hometown, moving home is a hell of a journey
