Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 985 Did you forget to add a title to the previous chapter?
Yieta's voice echoed in the cab, and the originally relaxed atmosphere stagnated, as if an invisible hand had strangled everyone's throat. Ling Ge was not surprised at all. It was better to say that he had been waiting for this moment. The witch society planned the starry sky long before the great wizard Sanzod wrote the "Almanac of the Stars". How could the witches allow people on earth to trespass into the goddess's holy land without permission?
One after another, silver-white starships were flying in from the blind spot of the big screen. They should have been hidden in the shadow of the huge celestial body, thus avoiding the field of view of the Arus binary starship. The slender and graceful ship body seemed to reflect the scorching light in the long night, like arrows of moonlight, shining into the area shrouded in darkness.
They formed a line and blocked the Arus twin starship's path, forcing Iyeta to slow down to avoid crashing into the blockade carefully arranged by the cult. Linger took a quick look and calculated that there were about a hundred starships. Each of them was not as large as the Arus twin starship, but the complex and exquisite industrial beauty was fully reflected, which was very much in the style of the cult.
In the cockpit of the command ship, Fisher, the chief of the combat command and the second ship officer of the alien philosopher, looked up at the huge ship opposite that looked like a whale, and a strange light flashed in his gray-brown eyes: he did not expect that in addition to the association, there was a force on the mirror star that possessed such a level of industrial power, and could even independently manufacture interstellar-level warships, and their styling designs were quite desirable, but he did not know how effective they were in actual combat.
I believe it will be verified soon.
He picked up the magic communication device and issued an order to the fleet: "The target has appeared, the entire fleet is on combat readiness."
"The magic engine is now operating at full power. Open the first, fourth, and sixteenth exhaust valves."
"Prepare to project combat units."
As the instructions were passed down in an orderly manner, on these cruise warships codenamed "Star Knight", huge combat hatches slowly opened, and tall and cold Lancer machines appeared at the projection position. The operators in the control room quickly set the projection coordinates, speed, magic frequency and other key factors for them. Thanks to the full power operation of the magic engine, this process only took less than one tenth of a second to complete. Then, the honeycomb-shaped propulsion device also entered the operating state, and blazing magic particles were ejected from each honeycomb, slowly pushing these machines forward, and under the impetus of acceleration, they were thrown into the sea of stars, just like throwing pieces of silent steel into the darkness -
But the steel quickly lit up, and the magic furnace behind them spewed out a mixture of gray-white steam and red magic flow, like burning trails of star fire. The sight of hundreds of mechanical soldiers operating the magic furnace together was like hundreds of red comets ignited at the same time in the darkness, with long flame tails dragging behind them to form a sea of flaming fire.
Driven by the power of the magic furnace, these mechanical soldiers dropped into the space environment first fell, then quickly floated up, and flew towards the Arus binary starship in a gliding posture, like a group of burning comets, cutting through the long night. During the gliding process, they gradually dispersed, maintaining almost the same distance between each other, with seven units as a formation, forming a huge arrow formation.
At this distance, Linger could see clearly that these machines were obviously not of the same type as the ones they had seen in the Saria Field and the city of Lunweiting. Perhaps to adapt to the battle on a cosmic scale, their bodies were several times larger than those light and agile knight-type machines. Each one was about 40 meters tall, and the thickness of the reinforced armor made them look even more cumbersome. Therefore, not only did they have a magic furnace on their backs that sprayed red magic flow as a propulsion force, but they also had several small magic furnaces installed on their shoulders and legs to ensure their mobility and firepower with more powerful power.
However, the weapons equipped on these mechanical soldiers looked very primitive. Their right arms held up a mechanical tower shield that covered almost two-thirds of their bodies, and their left arms were connected to giant lances, making them look a bit like fully armed heavy-armored knights in the Middle Ages. If it weren't for the muzzles at the ends of the lances, which were brewing significant energy fluctuations, Linger would probably have regarded them as pure melee machines.
The overall paintwork of these Lancer-type constructed mechas is dark green, which complements the dark cosmic environment. Ling also noticed that a beam of light extends from the magic power stream sprayed from their backs, connecting to the fleet behind them. Hundreds of light beams merge into the fleet cluster like rivers merge into the ocean. It seems that in this way, they obtain endless energy from the fleet's power room.
In other words, if they didn't destroy those cruisers, they would be trapped in an endless war of attrition with the group of constructed mechas. Although the Arus twin starship, which had been reinforced with planetary power devices, was not afraid of a war of attrition, Linger didn't want to delay it for too long, mainly because he was sure that the forces deployed by the Witch Society in the universe were not limited to the fleet in front of them, but most likely also included an unknown constructed mecha.
Although he didn't know why it didn't appear, if he delayed until the other side came to support, could the Arus binary starship really fight against the constructed mecha with its power? Ling Ge was skeptical about this.
So, it's best to do it quickly.
"Full left rudder, 45 degrees north-northeast, 20 knots, turn around to avoid the enemy's first wave of attack."
Facing the fierce attack of the enemy, Captain Gloria gave orders without fear, and Ieta followed suit. The Arus binary starship slowly turned around under the dark starry sky and dodged the weak point of the arrow formation. Although Alice kept shouting nonsense like there was no need to avoid a head-on confrontation, no one paid attention to her.
The enemy seemed to have seen through the intention of the Arus Twin Starship to temporarily avoid the attack, but the distance was too far to stop it, so under the order of the commander in the rear, he raised the giant lance in his left hand and pointed the muzzle at the end forward. After a short period of energy storage, a bright flame flashed in the muzzle, and then the red beam covered the sky and hit the side deck of the Arus Twin Starship from the side, causing the ship to shake slightly, as if it was bumped in the waves.
"Wow?" Through this wave of attacks, Captain Gloria quickly determined the enemy's firepower intensity: "From the energy level, it has obviously surpassed the intensity of the outer area of the interstellar storm and is roughly equivalent to the central area. This is just the firepower intensity at normal power. It is worthy of being a Lancer machine secretly developed by the association. When I checked the information before, I was very confused why I never saw any combat reports about them on the battlefield of the East Continent. It turns out that they have been deployed in outer space."
Gloria once risked her life to spy on the secret information of the Witch Society. She had some understanding of their military strength, but she didn't know the specific parameters and defense layout. She once thought that it was a waste for the Witch Society to develop a heavy fire suppression machine like the Lancer, but not put it into the colonial battlefield of the East Continent. Now she understood that the extraordinary people and aliens in the East Continent were not qualified for the Witch Society to exert their full strength. The threat from the universe was the main target of the Lancer.
The more I understand, the more I marvel at the strength of this enemy... and arrogance. The first wave of attack did not work. Under the command of the commander, the Lancers still maintained a constant speed and approached the Arus Twin Starship. At the same time, the magic energy in the magic furnace, which was like a torrent, converged again at the muzzle of the giant lance through the transmission pipeline hidden under the heavy armor, and began to prepare for the next wave of volleys. The Arus Twin Starship captured the numerical fluctuations of this wave of magic energy, and the specific parameters appeared on the big screen. It was too complicated to understand, but the obvious result was that the next wave of attack would be more fierce than the previous one.
"It really doesn't give people any room to breathe."
Gloria chuckled, not panicking at all. Her identity as a great pirate came into play at this time. No one on the ship knew how to fight a naval battle better than her, so they tacitly handed over the command to her. However, Ling Ge felt that if it was just Gloria, even if she had the memory of a great pirate, she might not be able to do this. So which personality was in charge of that body at this moment?
He glanced at the gray-haired girl deeply, but the latter seemed not to notice and calmly gave an order: "We can't just passively take the beating. It's time to teach them a lesson. Yieta, activate the [Black Hole Collapse Device] and [White Hole Expansion Device]."
"learn!"
Ieta trusted the captain's instructions immensely and activated the corresponding device without hesitation. As a result, the two huge spheres, one black and one white, that had been flying in a double helix structure around the Arus binary starship suddenly separated at this moment, quickly turning from a super-high-speed flying state to a stationary state, floating silently on both sides of the giant ship. This process did not even require any buffering, and it seemed so abrupt, completely violating the laws of human vision.
The black hole rotates clockwise inwards, while the white hole rotates counterclockwise outwards. The two giant spheres twisted slowly, and their jagged edges rubbed against the void, like rusty gears in a mechanical workshop, making a harsh and piercing whine. The next moment, the Lancers' volley preparations were complete, accompanied by a bright flash of fire in the darkness, and the red beams of light covered the sky and the sun. Their speed was actually very fast, but because the distance between them was too far, the trajectory of the light could still be clearly seen. The sky was full of red stars, like a rising wall, covering the entire large screen.
Not only is the firepower more ferocious, but the firepower range has also been further improved. It seems that those Lancer machines have entered an overloaded state.
However, the giant ship remained motionless, while the black hole suspended on its left side suddenly expanded and expanded, and finally reached the mass of a small star. The inward-spinning black hole burst out with a terrifying attraction, which attracted the red light beams composed of pure energy and without any real existence, and they deviated from their original orbits, like ten thousand meteors falling into the sea, falling into the empty and deep interior of the black hole, but not even a wave was stirred up, and everything was as silent as sleeping.
After swallowing the enemy's attack, the black hole quickly collapsed back to its original size, and the white hole suspended on the right side of the giant ship also began to expand. However, an irresistible repulsive force was released from the inside of the white hole, sweeping over like an invisible tide. The red light beams that had just been swallowed left the white hole intact, but flew in the direction they came from, launching a rebellious attack on the master who created them. However, pure energy was originally ownerless, so it actually had no qualifications to choose a master, but was just following its instinct to release, explode, and then disappear.
"This is--"
Fisher on the command ship was slightly surprised. The black hole absorbing energy and the white hole releasing energy, this strange scene made him think of Lady Times, the witch of the end, among the seven witches. However, the other party seemed to have compromised in both the absorption and release of energy, neither fully absorbing nor releasing. If Lady Times were here, I'm afraid this cavalry unit would be wiped out in an instant.
He calmly gave the order: "The two side columns, raise your shields to defend; the middle column, disperse freely to evade. After this wave of attack is over, quickly reorganize the formation. I will have the rear fleet continue to project combat units to replenish your troops. Don't let the enemy find a flaw."
Following his instructions, the Lancer machines on both sides of the column raised the mechanical tower shields in their right hands and formed a solid wall in front of them; while the Lancer machines in the middle column that faced the attack quickly dispersed and began to accelerate under the impetus of the crimson magic flow, spewing out streams of gray-white steam from the heat sink of the magic furnace on their backs, mixed with space dust, impurities and scorching and dazzling magic particles, almost turning into a vast ocean.
Beams of light passed through the ocean, and the highly concentrated magic instantly evaporated the white steam and dust, but most of them fell into the air. Only a few beams were able to hit the enemy, but they were only the armored parts that were not too fatal. Only a few Lancers were hit in the core areas such as the cockpit and fell. Their figures fell into the dark abyss below, and they split and disintegrated in the process. The flash of the explosion flashed and disappeared, and the red star turned into countless bright raindrops, floating and spreading.
The fleet group in the rear launched another tactical projection, and about a quarter of the Lancers were replenished and re-filled into the arrow formation. The enemy's strength was not reduced, but became even larger.
"Tsk!" Gloria snorted coldly: "A bunch of annoying little bugs!"
Compared with the Arus binary starship, the Lancer machine can indeed only be described as tiny, but if the number increases, even whales will feel embarrassed in front of the little bugs.
The atmosphere in the cab was a bit depressing, except for Alice who kept laughing strangely, looking very proud: "Ha ha ha, see, this is the power of the new weapon created by me, Alice! What Lancers? I can't stand this!"
She would never admit that the weapon was inspired by the Witch of the End.
As long as you don't say it, it's my, Alice's, original work!
