Chapter 1 Prologue

"Hey~!"

"The enemy ship has detected strong photoelectric radar signal fluctuations, high energy, and the energy level is X!"

"The Eligues! The Eligues~! The Si announced! Our ship's core cabin has lost its airtightness, it has lost its airtightness! Our ship can no longer move forward! Our ship's beeping!"

"The connection with the first star of Mizaria, the Eligues, has been interrupted!"

"Captain! I have lost the super-light entanglement with the signal of the energy core of the Eliggs!"

Barus looked at the joint combat briefing in front of him, and finally sat down slowly, with no color on his face.

The Alliance has invested too much power here, and it can be said that it is absolutely inevitable to destroy the empire's ability to control the UP-ST star field.

Five Shieldguard-class battleships, twelve Nebula-class attack battlecruisers, and countless other conventional ships.

Two uncharacterized light air-superiority carriers, one uncharacterized flagship carrier, and one Joint Force-class flagship armored dreadnought.

And the only aircraft carrier in his fleet has been sunk, and now it's his turn to be his flagship.

"Power up the whole ship!" After the final struggle, Barus stood up slowly, and still gave the final battle order.

Now that the jump core has been disturbed, it is no longer possible to retreat completely, it is better to become a battle hero of the empire and die in battle.

"Enable the entire ship! Energy core state level XII!"

"Enter bombardment mode, the main artillery group has been charged!"

"The gravitational signal has been captured!"

"Photoelectric radar target capture, fire control channel connection, and the characteristic signal of the enemy ship is recognized as a shield guard-class battleship!"

Barus hesitated, he knew that the shield guard must be the alliance's bait.

But Shieldguard-class battleships equipped with large-capacity and powerful constant shield generators are very suitable for absorbing damage.

Although the battleship is qualified as a result of the battle, if it is fired rashly like this.

Your main weapon will be stuck in a long charging state and it will be difficult to counter the enemy's flagship firepower.

"Jump over him! Throw an electromagnetic torpedo at him so he doesn't charge straight!"

"There are our air superiority fighters in the sky!"

"It's the support from the ground, tell them not to go forward, just protect me!"

"Detected strong fluctuations in the enemy ship's photoelectric radar signal, high energy! Energy level X!"

"Enemy fire! Collision warning!"

"3!"

"2!"

"Buzz!"

Dazzling white light illuminates the bridge.

The yellow beam of light extending from a distance pierced straight in front of everyone's eyes, colliding violently with the shield.

"Not penetrated! The strength of the shield enhancement coil has dropped to 89%, and there is no structural damage!"

It appears to be surrounded.

Barus shook his head with difficulty. As the glorious colonial flagship of the empire, is there still room for surrender?

It is impossible for the empire to enter the field to support at this time.

Because it doesn't make sense anymore.

"The photoelectric radar has captured it, and its signature has been identified as an enemy Nebula-class attacking battlecruiser!"

Attacking battlecruisers, as the navy's best platform for firepower output, has the firepower of battleships, but only cruisers, or even lower levels of protection.

"Detected strong fluctuations in the enemy ship's photoelectric radar signal, high energy! Energy level X!"

Tsk!We still have to give priority to solving Nebula!
"Launch a gravitational probe!"

"I want to know how many nebulae there are in that piece!"

"The gravitational probe has been projected!"

"Collision Warning!"

"3! 2!"

"boom!"

"The No. [-] shield restraint coil caught fire at high voltage, and it has been extinguished!"

"Electromagnetic torpedo hit detected! Enemy ship damage assessment."

"Effective penetration! Detected loss of airtightness and explosive features on the front side of the enemy ship! But the damage is limited!"

It is indeed difficult for a single torpedo to pose a sufficient threat to a battleship.

"The gravitational probe channel is blocked!"

This is an electronic warfare method. It seems that there are additional electronic attack ships in their area.

"Enemy ships found! The number of Nebula-class attack battlecruisers that can be locked in the area is: seven!"

"Choose a target for each of the three main guns and fire in salvo!"

"Primary weapon fire!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three loud bangs and the main energy taken up by the main gun fire pushed the bridge temporarily into darkness.

"Effective hit!"

"The three nebula-class ships have lost their characteristic signals!"

"The photoelectric radar target has been lost!"

"Warning! There is a super high energy reaction in the energy storage!"

Sure enough, he was waiting for the enemy's main weapon to fire first.

"The enemy flagship has entered the arena!"

"Energy level XIII! The detected energy level is still rising!"

It's here, it's finally here.

Instead, Barus let go of his entangled mood now, and stopped thinking about other things.

I hope the empire will treat my wife and children well.

"Enter a fully airtight state!"

"The ultra-heavy ion confinement coil is overloaded!"

"The deflection shield has the highest energy!"

"The gravitational radar has captured it! The characteristic signal is identified as—the enemy's United Force-class armored dreadnought ship!"

Flagship-class colonial ships, as flagships in the regular naval sequence, are dreadnoughts, but dreadnoughts emphasize attack capabilities, while colonial flagships emphasize area control and fleet maintenance capabilities.

The biggest difference is that the dreadnoughts, as the order of battle, are equipped with anti-flagship weapons.

Now the area is out of control, and the fleet is completely destroyed.

For the glory of the so-called empire, Barus can only act like a trapped beast.

Barus is an imperial nobleman, there is no way to change that.

But his crew can only follow this seemingly doomed fate and become the undetectable color in the glory of the empire.

"How long will the main gun be stored!"

"Main weapon storage: 65%, ready to fire!"

"The enemy ship has detected strong photoelectric radar signal fluctuations, high energy, and the energy level is XIV!"

"Project Scattering Crystal!"

The main gun has also reached the minimum firing energy storage point, and it is time for the fish to die.

"The main gun salvo!"

"Primary weapon fire!"

"Open the kinetic energy braking facility and the kinetic energy capture radiation tank!"

"Collision Warning!"

"3!"

"2!"

"Boom! Boom!"

A huge and irresistible force pushed almost everyone on the bridge away from their positions.

"what!"

Barus fell hard on the podium.

"Woo~! Woo~!"

Shocking sirens sounded throughout the ship.

"Injury, damage assessment!"

"Damage assessment!"

He sat up with difficulty, but no one responded to him.

"Captain, Kelgman passed out!"

Kelgman is the avionics chief of Barus, mainly responsible for reporting avionics content.

"You, alas, you in his place!"

Barus, struggling from the intense dizziness and laxity of thinking, slowly climbed back to his seat.

"Serious injury! The shield was penetrated! The O, P, and Q areas were directly hit, and the airtightness has been lost!"

"Areas E and H are severely damaged and are losing their airtightness!"

"The fire has been extinguished!"

"The shield has been offline! The structural strength assessment is 77%!"

"Lost 45% of power supply and 62% of fluid armor structure!"

"The turret of No. X has stopped working, and the torpedo silos No. 5~8 have been destroyed!"

"Detected strong fluctuations in the enemy ship's photoelectric radar signal, high energy! Energy level X!"

"Energy fluctuations of multiple enemy ships!"

"Collision Warning!"

"3! 2! Boom!"

Blows rained down on the Alliance ships.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Serious damage!"

"The core C compartment was penetrated, causing a fire, and is losing its airtightness!"

"Gravity radar has stopped working!"

"The No. 3 host has been destroyed, and the energy level has dropped to VIII!"

"The push computer has stopped serving!"

"We've lost 78% of our power supply and 92% of our fluid armor structure!"

"captain!"

Looking at the desire to survive in the eyes of the subordinates, and feeling the steel coffin that has come to an end.

In the end, Barus waved his hand weakly.

"All abandon ship."

Without the protection of the shield, the flagship is no longer able to resist even the attack of the battleship.

"Detected strong fluctuations in the enemy ship's photoelectric radar signal, high energy! Energy level X!"

"All Abandon Ship! All Abandon Ship!"

"Collision Warning!"

"3! 2!"

"boom!"

"Warning, be devastated!"

"The main structure of the hull has been damaged beyond repair, and the hull is losing its airtightness!"

"warn!"

Barus was the last person left on the bridge.

Did all his men escape safely?

What happened to the surrounding carrier-based aircraft?
He doesn't even know.

Now he can only sit helplessly in his own seat, the throne in his heart.

Nothing can be done now, it's all over.

Self-destruct!

It can also self-destruct!
"Start the self-destruct procedure!"

Rather than being sunk by the enemy, it is better to self-destruct in front of them!

Not sunk by the enemy!

This is my last chance!
"I was not sunk by the enemy!"

"Damage identification, damage identification complete."

"Voiceprint recognition has passed, Captain, please give the final instruction."

"Start the self-destruct procedure!"

"Order accepted, ship will self-destruct in 1 minute."

There are only harsh sirens and mechanical system alarms left in my ears.

This means that this once radiant imperial colonial flagship has entered the final stage of her glorious career.

The captain died on the ship as a commander, and the battleship protected the glory of the empire and was sunk on the battlefield.

"Hahaha! Barus! Can you imagine it?"

Suddenly, a creepy laugh came from the bridge that was plunged into darkness.

Those sailors who fled in a hurry would not have imagined that the respected and elegant captain of the past would have such disheveled hair and let out that terrible laugh, right?
"Until the last moment, there is still no one around you hahahaha!"

Barus, whose left hand was already broken in the collision, finally lay down on the cold ground of the bridge in a frenzy.

"It's still only you with me."

"It's still only you, so loyal to me!"

"I only have you, hehe, I uh!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"There are still 10 seconds before entering self-destruct."

"I only have you"

After hearing the final alarm, Barus began to crazily climb towards the podium where he galloped on the battlefield.

The right hand that had lost its blood color wanted to lift it up with difficulty.

Grabbing something feebly in the air.

"Home! My home! Anya! Anya!"

"It's almost enough! It's almost there!"

"3!"

"2!"

"Ania!"

"1"
