Chapter 10: The Darkest Hour (10)
The Darkest Abyss Flagship Command Module.
Because he was in the ball formation, Lu Amaranth could see the battlefield situation with the naked eye through the window. The ball formation, which was barely maintained, had been shattered in many places, and the battleships turned into fire balls, stretching to the entire ball array, and it became a sea of fire.
There are too many parts and wreckage flying sideways, and in such a chaotic scene, even with the powerful computing power of the brain, it is impossible to control the starship in flight to dodge all the obstacles. Some starships were either destroyed by the wreckage or swept by fire, and even if they escaped in a sea of parts, the hull would be shattered.
The huge arrow that shone like the sun was still flying at extreme speed in the ball formation, going back and forth against the flow of light, killing in and out. Countless artillery fires poured into the arrows, like a waterfall meeting bluestone, which could only be washed away and finally disappeared into invisibility.
The blade looks like a flea, and there is no pattern in rushing and killing, but in fact, its target is a starship loaded with "Dawn" heavy artillery, which Lu Amaranth knows better than anyone else. In particular, the flagship under his seat was the target that the other party wanted to break through several times, but because of the fierce artillery fire around the flagship, the other party had to change direction halfway again and again.
Lu Amaranth's face was cold and solemn, and he was killed to the extreme.
The ball formation has been broken, although the fleet is not going to collapse, but the killing array does not exist, which is a result that he has not calculated before. He knew a lot about the Heavenly Demon Cultivator, but the strange power displayed by the huge arrow in front of him was something he had never heard of.
However, the number of warships in the Dark Abyss is extremely superior, even if the invincible Arrow is now rapidly destroying groups of warships, it is impossible to completely defeat the fleet - the Wisdom Brain calculates very clearly, before that moment comes, the energy of the Blade Array will be completely exhausted.
The battleships under the control of the Zhi Brain will definitely not be in chaos because the formation is broken, the soldiers will flee, and the soldiers will be defeated like a mountain. Each starship is an individual that can quickly get out of the chaos and fly into the distance, and the entire fleet is a whole, controlled by the brain, which can execute the general's orders meticulously.
In this sense, with the development of scientific and technological civilization to the present, the "quality of the army" has long been incomparable with that of ancient soldiers. The advanced and powerful comprehensive capability of the armed forces has been vividly and vividly demonstrated in all aspects.
But this is far from Lu Amaranth's strategic goal, and there is a world of difference between the two.
He wanted victory.
He transferred the left and right formations of troops in order to swallow Li Ye's team in one bite, and then destroy the fleet of the wall-facers and annihilate all the monk teams, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of destroying the wall-facing plan!
The team of monks in front of him is the final and greatest result of the Wall-Facing Project.
At the same time, this is the last chance for the Dark Abyss to completely destroy the Wallfacer's plan.
For the Darkest Abyss, this is a task that cannot be missed and must be completed. It is their mission, their vocation, and even the meaning of their existence!
And now, they finally came here and launched a crushing attack with absolutely superior forces, but the battle situation has unexpectedly entered a white-hot stage.
"General, the number of starships in the left formation has been seriously damaged, and they are no longer able to resist the onslaught of Zhou Bashan's team!" Captain Mo's anxious voice interrupted Lu Amaranth's contemplation.
Lu Amaranth turned his head to look at the screen, and saw that there were less than forty percent of the starships left in the left formation, and Zhou Bashan's team was still attacking - Lu Amaranth didn't feel it
Unexpectedly, Zhou Bashan has been on the offensive like fire, but the difference is that now Cervantes' team is also attacking with all its might.
Originally, the monks of Zhou Bashan's team had almost consumed their aura, and now they were almost unable to maintain the offensive, but Cervantes stood up at this time and replaced Zhou Bashan as the main offensive force. This is not an unwarranted change, and it is clear that the situation in the central squad has made Cervantes realise that they have a good chance of winning now.
"General, the casualties in the right formation are also increasing, but they can still support it, and if the other party wants to break through the formation, it is not as easy as Zhou Bashan and them. Captain Mo's voice rang out again.
Lu Amaranth knew what these battle situations meant.
He transferred the warships on the left and right to the middle formation, just to quickly defeat Li Ye, and the combat power there naturally decreased a lot. But in his previous calculations, even the left and right formations with declining strength can easily hold on to the end, even if they pay some price, it will not be too big.
What I didn't expect was that Zhou Bashan was so able to fight, a saint realm, he insisted on treating himself as an ordinary warrior, and he was completely unmotivated, so he had to protect his consciousness first, as if he couldn't win the battle, he would have no face to live.
In comparison, He Jie and Angel's performance was completely unexpected by Lu Amaranth, and if they were given another twenty-four hours, they would not be able to defeat the right formation.
"Calculate the strength of each enemy and me, and deduce the results of the battle!" Lu Amaranth's order was given to Zhi Brain.
After a while, Zhi Nao replied: "Calculation of the battle situation in the middle formation: When the enemy's energy is exhausted, our warships will be damaged by sixty percent! Calculation of the battle situation of the left formation: Before the enemy's energy is exhausted, the left formation will completely lose its combat ability! The battle situation calculation of the right formation: the two sides are evenly matched!"
Lu Amaranth fell silent.
This answer means that at the cost of sixty percent of the starships, they can wipe out Li Ye's team.
The premise is that Li Ye's team will fight with them until the last moment.
This is certainly not possible.
"General, as long as we fight, we must win in the end!" Captain Mo's eyes were resolute, and even a little excited, it was the glory of completing the mission, and she was suggesting that Lu Amaranth should not care about casualties.
"Order: All units withdraw from the battle in an orderly manner!"
Lu Amaranth's order did not meet Captain Mo's expectations.
Captain Mo was stunned, "Why?"
"Captain, this is an order!" Lu Amaranth didn't mean to explain to the other party.
"Yes!"
No one dared to question the general's orders, and the vast majority were not even qualified to ask the cause. The only exception is the intelligent brain, which is not human in the first place, and has high authority.
"General Lu, we haven't been defeated yet, and we took the initiative to give up the battle so early, and the center needs your explanation. "The voice of the wise brain is rational and calm, and there is not the slightest emotion. The so-called center does not refer to the system, but to the bigwigs of the darkest abyss.
"The ranks of the Wall-Facing Monks have become the climate, and we can't annihilate them. Keep fighting, and we will only be eaten up by them. If we don't withdraw at this time, we will be annihilated. The Dark Abyss is not afraid of death, but I will never let the fleet make senseless sacrifices. Lu Amaranth's voice was equally calm.
"The center has received General Lu's answer. ”
Lu Amaranth stretched out his hand to stroke the virtual screen in front of him, and looked out of the ship with his negative hand, the pain in his eyes could not be concealed.
The fleet of human beings on the earth, cultivating with the Heavenly Demons
The soldiers have been fighting for many years, and Lu Amaranth naturally knows very well that they have no chance of winning this battle. Battlefield duel is not a simple numerical calculation, and the intelligent brain cannot replace the role of generals in this regard.
The team led by Li Ye will withdraw from the battlefield before the aura is consumed to a certain extent, and at their speed, the starships will not be able to catch up at all. Unlike warships, it takes a lot of time to repair the damage of a battleship, and the monk only needs to meditate and breathe and take pills to quickly recover his combat strength.
At that time, the team of monks led by the five saint realms will face the fleet of the Dark Abyss in a state close to its peak, and if this situation is repeated twice, the latter's situation will be very critical, and even the ability to withdraw will be lost.
This is not a profound problem, the fleet of the Azure Civilization has encountered many such situations when fighting against the Heavenly Demon Cultivators. Captain Mo couldn't figure it out for a while, but the staff officers knew it.
In terms of decision-making, in the face of complex situations, the intelligent brain can only provide data support, but cannot replace human beings to make the most reasonable decisions.
When the warships of the Darkest Abyss covered each other and withdrew from the battlefield, neither the fleet nor the monks of the Wall-Facing pursued them, and they did not have the combat strength to pursue them at this time, and many of the monks were exhausted.
Looking at the fraternity of the wall-facing fleet and the seven artificial galaxies that were gradually "going away", Lu Amaranth, who was like a pine, was like a knife at this moment. There was no more blood on his face, and the hands clenched behind his back were also trembling slightly, and when it came to the end, even his breathing became rapid and disordered.
For an iron-blooded general who has been fighting in the dark for many years, this is a gaffe that he will not appear to have.
"General ......" noticed Lu Amaranth's abnormality, Captain Mo worriedly wanted to persuade him, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, so he could only bring over the red wine on the table, pour a glass and hand it to the other party.
After drinking the blood-like wine in the cup in one go, Lu Amaranth took a long breath and said in a difficult voice: "This is the darkest moment that human beings on earth have never experienced. It won't be long before everyone will know what kind of abyss the people of Earth will sink into by the wall-facing people and their monks.
"It's a pity that we couldn't stop this from happening despite all our might. When the real end comes, everyone will realize what they have supported and what they have put their hopes on! At that time, they will have no chance to regret it!"
After saying this, Lu Amaranth's eyes were already scarlet and moist.
The staff officers in the command cabin also had sad faces. Some people bowed their heads and were silent, some people gritted their teeth, some people couldn't help but slam their fists on the table, and some people rushed out of the command cabin, not knowing where to vent their irrepressible depression and anger in their hearts.
"The demons have descended, and they will rule the world. In the darkest hour of humanity on earth, there will never be any light, where should we go from here, and what can we do?"
Lu Amaranth picked up the red wine bottle, raised his head and drank it in one gulp. After smashing the bottle to pieces, he couldn't help but punch his chest, as if he wanted to kill himself on the spot, so as to avoid seeing the tragic future of humanity on Earth.
"General...... In the darkest hour, the light is with us. ”
Captain Mo didn't know what to say, and in the end, he could only say this sentence with his chest up.
It's just that compared to when I first came here, in the current situation, this sentence is not very convincing.
This is the darkest hour, but where is the light?
