Chapter 393 I Have Been Waiting For This Day For A Long Time
When the Pioneer Empire urgently went to the Galaxy Civilization Management Branch of Qianxing City to seek the help of Quan Yi, the person in charge, the actions of the Alliance Fleet did not stop at all, and continued to fire plasma cannons and neutral particle cannons, attacking the fortresses and fleets outside the Pioneer Star. Carry out a devastating blow.

Facing the disparity in the performance of warships and the power of weapons, the Herald Empire Fleet fell into a complete disadvantage.

I can only watch helplessly as the battleships are destroyed one by one.

There is no way to stop the attack of the alliance fleet.

On the other hand, the Solar System Alliance fleet relied on the energy shields on the star destroyers for defense. So far, only one battleship has suffered some damage, and it is still the kind that does not affect combat.

In this kind of battle situation, the alliance fleet was completely crushed, approaching the pioneer star with a long drive.

"All planetary defense fortresses have been destroyed, and the opponent's fleet has retreated to the pioneer star. We have not lost a single battleship."

Star Destroyer Command Hall.

Lei Zhan was very excited to report the record to Xu Lei, and his joy was beyond words.

Once upon a time, the solar system was wantonly invaded by the pioneer empire, and human beings didn't even have the ability to fight back. There is no doubt that that period of history is something people don't want to recall.

And now the alliance fleet from humans has reached the civilization planet of the pioneer empire in a short period of time without losing a single battleship. This achievement is definitely something to be proud of, and it is equivalent to a real offensive and defensive transition between the two sides.

Gone are the days when the Herald Empire reigned supreme.

Xu Lei naturally saw the whole battle situation in his eyes, knowing that the situation was evolving in the direction he expected, so it seemed that he was listening to Lei Zhan's report, but in fact his eyes were all focused on the special planet ahead.

Herald.

A living planet that breeds pioneer civilizations.

There are over ten billion pioneers living on this planet.

The number of living individuals is billions more than human beings.

At this time, he finally saw this planet with his own eyes, which only existed in the information recorded by the pioneer fleet before. Xu Lei must observe it carefully.

Through the analysis of the built-in space radar of the Star Destroyer, the whole body is earthy yellow, and the pioneer star is dry all year round. The surface of the planet is covered by thick rock layers. In addition to the weather and temperature are not suitable for carbon-based life, the environment is even worse.

have a higher temperature.

Compared with the earth star, the only advantage is probably that the size of the pioneer star is larger.

After figuring out this information, Xu Lei has a little understanding of why the pioneer civilization is so interested in the earth and stars.

Now it seems that compared with the environment of the pioneer star, it is not an exaggeration to say that the earth star is a paradise. After all, its environment is very suitable for the living and living of carbon-based life forms.

But observation is observation, and the battle that should continue cannot be stopped.

Because those just now were an appetizer at best.

So when Xu Lei withdrew his gaze, he immediately turned around and told Lei Zhan: "Let the whole ship get ready and continue to launch air strikes on the pioneer star. Now is not the time to be soft-hearted."

After receiving the order, Lei Zhan seemed a bit awkward this time.

Did not go directly to implement.

Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't bear to do it. After all, there was nothing more exciting for him than attacking the Herald Empire.

The delay in action is due to worry.

Soon Xu Lei also noticed that Lei Zhan was abnormal, and immediately asked: "What's wrong, but I have doubts about my order, so just say what you want to say." He didn't put on airs at all.

Xu Lei also knew in his heart that his orders might not all be correct, and most of the reason for his current advantage was due to the powerful enough battleships.

If his subordinates can propose a better plan, he will naturally follow the suggestion.

Lei Zhan saw that he was being questioned actively by Xu Lei, but he didn't pretend to be a cover-up, and directly expressed his doubts openly.

"It is such a sir."

"According to the clues we have, the cities of the Pioneer Empire are all built in an environment 5000 meters underground. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to attack them effectively. Shouldn't we think of another good way?"

Facts have proved that Lei Zhan's worries are still very reasonable.

Because the living environment of the pioneer star is relatively harsh, in order to ensure the stable development of civilization, the ancient pioneer life chose to move the city underground, using the city deep underground to avoid various disasters and environmental impacts, and it has continued to this day.

Now it seems that this is indeed a very good way for them.

Just like right now.

The rock formations covering the surface of the planet are relatively hard, and have an excellent defense effect against various blows.

Coupled with such a deep thickness, when the damage is transmitted from the surface to the city, I am afraid that the effect will be negligible.

It would indeed be a waste to continue to attack the pioneer star under such circumstances.

If the cities and various important buildings of the Herald Empire were built on the surface of the planet, they would be easily destroyed by dispatching plasma cannons and neutral particles without much effort.

But now it doesn't work well.

There is a high probability that several rounds of attacks will not bring any effect.

This time against the pioneer empire, Xu Lei's plan is to make a quick decision, first completely destroy the opponent's power system.

Really delay on this issue, no one knows whether the battle will develop in a new direction.

It must be known that the Pioneer Empire is also an old second-level civilization at any rate, and must have some connections with other civilizations in the galaxy, and may seek assistance from them.

At that time, even if there is a star destroyer in the alliance fleet, there is no need to be afraid, and the battleship behind it will inevitably be affected. This is something Xu Lei never wants to see, so he must find a way.

"You're right."

Xu Lei first affirmed Lei Zhan's worries, then his brain quickly thought of something, and he immediately ordered: "Go and bring Mosti here, now it's his turn to act."

"Yes, sir."

Although Lei Zhan didn't know why he brought Mosi here now, he didn't hesitate at all about Xu Lei's order.

After nodding abruptly in response, he hurriedly went to perform the task.

And because it was the second time to mention people, he was relatively familiar with the road, and soon Mesti was brought to the command hall of the main ship.

……

"How does it feel to be back in your hometown?"

Xu Lei sized Mesti up, but instead asked her kindly in a friendly tone, but this kind of question was tantamount to murder for Mesti at this time.

It's harsh.

But maybe because she was willing to accept her own fate, Mesti's mood didn't change much.

After a pause for a few seconds, he answered, "According to what you say, this is right. We should have thought that there would be such a day."

Speaking of which, although Mesti did not personally witness the scene of the destruction of the planetary defense fortresses in the pioneer galaxy in the command hall, he can basically imagine what it will be like based on the small amount of information he has obtained.

But he also understands that he is powerless to solve this karma.

For him, following Xu Lei's orders and being supported to be the new pioneer king is the best choice. At least this can ensure that the pioneer civilization can continue to exist, rather than being wiped out of the galaxy directly.

Xu Lei was very pleased to see that Mosti's performance had improved a lot.

Then the topic shifted to business.

"There is nothing else to ask you to come here this time. I want you to mark the specific locations of the major core cities on the pioneer star coordinates. Can you do it?"

As soon as the voice fell, Mesti's face suddenly changed.

It was no longer calm just now.

Because he knows what it means.

Yes.

Xu Lei's idea is very simple.

Since the cities of the Pioneer Empire are built deep underground, it is difficult to cover them with firepower, so they have to use the method of precise strikes, directly using plasma cannons to carry out high-altitude strikes on the cities.

It is believed that with the power of the plasma cannon, even if it cannot directly act on the city, it can still change its underground structure.

Bury the city completely deep underground.

Forcing the core stratum of the pioneer empire to take the initiative to go up to the ground.

As long as the power center of the Herald Empire is resolved, the alliance can push Mesti out, so no matter how to operate the Herald Star later, it will become very easy and simple.

Mesti is very clear about his situation at this time, and knows what he is going to do.

But he didn't have the right to choose.

So after a pause for a few seconds, he walked towards the console without saying a word, and marked several positions in the pioneer star on the main screen.

After getting the coordinates, Xu Lei naturally didn't delay any longer, and immediately ordered: "Plasma cannons are ready, start precision strikes!"

And he is not worried that the data given by Mesti is wrong, because there is no need for it.

"Yes, sir."

Following Xu Lei's order, several crew members sitting in front of the operating table began to operate immediately, controlling the Star Destroyer to lock the coordinates, and launching the plasma cannon to attack.

Almost in an instant, two plasma spheres with a temperature as high as one million degrees were shot out from the Star Destroyer's plasma cannon, and accurately hit two of the coordinates given by Mesti, creating a huge movement on the pioneer star.

Under the scorching temperature, the hard rock layer on the surface of the planet was suddenly as vulnerable as paper, causing the attack power to continue to extend downward, and the entire surrounding ground was in violent vibrations, as if the earth was about to sink in.

In the face of such a fierce attack, the pioneer city deep underground is not immune.

In addition to the collapse of a large number of buildings causing countless casualties, the passage leading to the ground was directly cut off.

Completely buried deep underground.

And this includes Antedes, the largest city in the pioneer star.

Originally, King Gardella summoned bishop-level pioneers to the palace to discuss countermeasures, and finally proposed to seek assistance from the Galactic Civilization Management Bureau of Seitan Star, but he did not expect that the palace shook violently before the person in charge arrived.

The sudden change can be said to scare everyone.

You must know that although their pioneers were tall, they did not break away from the scope of carbon-based life, but their life span was relatively long.

If the tall palace really collapsed, it would be difficult for them to survive.

"What's going on, where did all the noise come from?" Gardella almost slipped from the throne, managed to stabilize his figure and asked sharply, it could be seen that he was in a very bad mood at this time.

After all, the dignified pioneer of the second-level civilization was somehow forced to ask the Administration for help. It would be strange if he could be happy.

It's a pity that before his voice fell completely, the report from outside the palace instantly changed his face: "Report to King Gardella, the upper part of Anterdes was attacked by the enemy's plasma cannon, which caused changes in the underground structure. The city could collapse at any moment."

"What did you say?"

"how can that be?!"

Knowing such a result, Gardella stood up subconsciously.

There was disbelief in his eyes.

The reason why he can sit here with peace of mind and wait for the arrival of the person in charge of the Seitan Star Civilization Management Branch is precisely because the cities of the Forerunner Empire are built deep underground, and outsiders don't know the exact location, so even if they choose to attack freely impact on the city.

But he never expected that the enemy would accurately hit Anterdes as soon as he reached the pioneer star.

It is quite puzzling.

However, when he was about to inquire further about the specific situation, he only heard the ordinary pioneer outside the palace reply: "In addition, according to our latest confirmation, there are several other cities that have suffered the same attack besides Anterdes, and some of them have been completely destroyed. Lost contact."

"This is impossible, how could the enemy know exactly where our city is!?"

If Gardella was only puzzled and surprised just now, then now he is occupied by fear, unwilling to admit the reality in front of him.

Because if this is the case, then Anterdes is very dangerous at this moment, and it is very likely to follow in the footsteps of other cities. Even if the largest city structure of the pioneer empire is relatively stronger, it is nothing more than being able to withstand one more plasma cannon attack.

All pioneers will then be completely buried.

Mainly judging from the current situation, the enemy obviously knows the specific location of each city in the Herald Empire, so they will definitely take special care of Anterdes.

at the same time.

Perhaps because of the rapid spread of fear, the pioneers present couldn't sit still.

"The enemy is clearly prepared. They know very well about our pioneer empire. If they continue to wait, they will only be buried here with Anterdes."

"We can't sit still any longer."

"Now we should return to the ground as soon as possible and try to communicate with the other party."

"The Civilization Management Branch doesn't know when it will arrive. We also need to buy time."

"Protecting the star gate is the most important thing at the moment. Staying here will not solve any problems. Please the king make a decision as soon as possible."

Gardella listened to the suggestions of the bishops and pioneers beside him at this time. Although his face turned cold and he was very angry, he had to recognize the reality. After all, saving his life and inheriting the pioneer civilization is the most important thing now.

Thinking quickly, he made a decision not long after and said: "Get ready to go to the ground, and continue to try to contact the other party. I want to talk to him personally."

"As ordered."

Gardella is well aware of the urgency of the current situation. After issuing this order, he immediately opened all the passages to the ground, allowing the pioneers living in the underground city to escape on their own. where the door is.

As for his willingness to surrender his status to start a dialogue with the Alliance Fleet, it is an idea of ​​delaying time.

As long as the person in charge of the Civilization Management Branch arrives at the scene, the crisis will definitely be resolved, and maybe they can use this to demand compensation.

Because he can be sure that even if the fleet that attacked their pioneer empire this time has nothing to do with Seitan, letting the two Star Destroyers wander outside is also a big responsibility, and they will still be punished according to the rules of the Civilization Administration.

That's right.

In Gadella's view, this strange fleet probably obtained the Star Destroyer of Star Seitan by no means, so they turned their minds on their pioneer civilization.

Although the loss was heavy this time, as long as they were compensated by the Civilization Administration, or had a relationship with Seitan.

That definitely has more advantages than disadvantages.

Green Star is the best proof.

If it weren't for the support of the Green Star with the support of the Seitan Star, how could the warship business cover the entire Orion spiral arm.

……

Let's talk about the Alliance Fleet.

Several rounds of plasma cannons were fired, and looking down from a high altitude, many circular deep pits appeared in sight.

And bottomless.

It was like performing a major surgical operation on the Herald.

And just when the Star Destroyer was recharging the plasma cannon, Lei Zhan's surprised voice suddenly sounded in the command hall: "Look, sir, those pioneers finally couldn't hold on and came out of the ground."

Looking along the sound, Xu Lei really found a familiar pioneer figure gradually appearing beside a certain circular deep pit.

Just judging from the crown and figure, they should all belong to ordinary pioneers.

But this at least shows that the coordinates given by Mesti are correct.

Thinking of this, Xu Lei couldn't help turning his gaze to Mesti next to him, and said meaningfully: "It seems that you already know what you should do."

But before getting Mesti's response, the crew suddenly reported: "Reporting sir, we have received a request for dialogue from the Herald. The other party claims to be the current king of the Herald Empire, Gadra."

"Do you agree?"

When this name sounded in the command hall, Xu Lei keenly caught the change in Mesti's eyes, and immediately understood that this Gadella was indeed a big deal.

The previous rounds of precise strikes have completely destroyed the resistance of the Pioneer Empire, and there are countless Pioneers buried deep underground. At this time, there is nothing wrong with having a proper conversation with the King of the Pioneer Empire .

What's more, Xu Lei just wanted to let the other party know that the solar system is not easy to mess with.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "Where is the other party now?"

"Reporting sir, it's at the star gate we specially marked." The crew member in front of the console answered quickly after hearing the sound.

The star gate is an important means of transportation in the galaxy.

Part of the reason for Xu Lei's trip was to use the stargate on the Pioneer Star, so after the fleet reached above the Pioneer Star, they deliberately protected this area and did not attack it.

Now that the other party chooses to negotiate here, it is considered smart.

"Promise them."

After casually responding to the crew member, Xu Lei had a playful smile on his face, and then specially called out to Lei Zhan: "Let's go, let's meet the king of the Herald Empire."

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Lei Zhan agreed.

But when Xu Lei led Lei Zhan to leave the command hall and go to the cabin door, he stopped after taking a few steps.

Then he turned around and said to Mesti with a smile: "At this time, don't you want to see your relatives and compatriots, they should be surprised too."

Mosti understood the meaning of Xu Lei's words, although he was very unwilling to face this kind of situation, but as said, what's the use of avoiding at this time, so he hesitated for a while and finally insisted Scalp followed.

-

Soon.

On the huge square where the star gate is located, Gardella led a group of bishops and heralds to raise their eyes and stare at the strange fleet that came in midair.

A big question mark popped up in my heart.

The reason why it is strange is that in addition to the star destroyers from Seitan, this fleet also includes battleships produced by Luyin Star Ring Heavy Industry. Around the fleet, they found that there were many assault ships produced by themselves.

To put it bluntly, the entire fleet is simply a hodgepodge.

This made them even more curious about the origin of the fleet, and they really couldn't figure out when the Herald Empire would provoke such an enemy.

Until a floating platform flew out from the Star Destroyer, and after seeing the figure standing on it, all the pioneers were dumbfounded and completely stunned.

I really can't imagine why the long-lost member of the royal family, Mesti, came out.

Mainly, as a pioneer, Mesti has an advantage in size, so he can't do without being noticed.

Fortunately, he has already been released from the shackles and electronic shackles at this time, otherwise the situation may turn out to be uncertain.

But this has also aroused the discussion of many bishops and pioneers.

"Why is Prince Mesti in the enemy's Star Destroyer? Hasn't he been captured by a weak civilization for a long time?"

"He is nothing short of a disgrace to my Herald Empire."

"I remember that Prince Fogli has gone to the rescue, did something new happen in the middle?"

"This time the enemy is aggressive, and they also know our situation very well. Now that Prince Mesti appears on the enemy's battleship, could it be that..."

Gardella listened to these arguments in his heart, and his face was a bit more gloomy than before. Now he finally knew why the enemy was able to carry out precise strikes on the underground city of the Pioneer Star. It turned out that a Pioneer leaked information about the empire.

And this traitor is still his heir.

In order to explain to the other pioneers and the loss of the empire this time, before the platform stopped, he asked sharply: "Mesti, you actually betrayed the pioneer empire. I Gadra do not have your son."

Xu Lei finally stopped the platform under his feet from Xinghuan Heavy Industries in the air tens of meters away from Jia Dela and the others. After hearing this sentence, he couldn't help but smiled and said to Mesti next to him: "It seems that they You are not welcome."

As soon as he finished speaking, his face changed suddenly, and he shot condescendingly at Gardella standing in the middle with sharp eyes, and responded with an attitude of indifference: "Isn't Gardella the current king of the Pioneer Empire, let me correct you first, there is a sentence you are wrong."

"Mesti did not betray the pioneer empire, but was infected by our civilization and wanted to establish a brand new pioneer civilization."
