The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

While thinking this way, Liu Lizi asked:

"Boss, what is this... called?"

"Glittering carapace cocoon." This guy answered quite decisively.

Liu Lizi narrowed her eyes, her ears pricked up:

"Have you decided to call it the shining carapace cocoon?"

"Say that for now, and discuss it with me later." Oregana shrugged. "What's going on with Kruse? How's the situation at ATA?"

In this billiards game, Tartarus used these five ATAs.At that time, Kruse will swing hard with the mentality of smashing the ball in front of him... emmmmm, this description is not like playing billiards at all, but like baseball or golf...

Liulizi replied:

"Already preparing. He said that he can fire two rounds at most. If you don't want the guns, you can fire the third round."

ATA is not a very reliable weapon, it seems that it will have to be re-optimized after a while.However, it is difficult to require this kind of thing to fire at the same rate as a machine gun... If it is not possible, we can only build more for use.This kind of feeling is a bit like the rifles in the early days, because one is unreliable and slow to reload, so many of them are fired at the same time... This idea seems to be extended to a weapon called "Organ Cannon". A bunch of gun barrels lined up together...

"Then let him get ready for the third round. Let's talk about it after the logistics side." Your Excellency the legion commander rubbed his furry tail next to his face, and said, "Compared to the common people in the world, we were killed in the bombing." There's nothing wrong with the bathroom."

"Only by being reckless and causing shocking battle damage will you be bombed..."

Oregana turned her head to the side—just like cats, Khorne's hearing is several times that of humans, but he will pretend he can't hear when he doesn't want to hear it.

Soon, what you want to hear will come.

It was a communication from one of the Marines of the Japari Battalion, commanded by Urenko Shimada Miha of the Jaguar.Although they both have the surname Shimada and both are leopards, she and Liu Lizi are not related in any way.The area she was in charge of was the location of the Ground Headquarters, and the damage suffered there was very strange, not at all like the ones hit by the symphony pioneers, which made Mipo feel that something else was involved in the attack:

[Boss, the purge of the Ground General Administration has ended.According to the identification of the employees of the General Administration, we found the room where the council is located-the three highest councilors are dead.The room is complete, and it was not the hands of Xie Ming Tuo.On the other side, Lieutenant General Regias has also been confirmed dead. The murder weapon was a claw-shaped weapon about [-] centimeters or longer. 】

"I understand." Oregana replied seriously, "Collect as much information as possible as time permits, and be on guard at any time."

【learn. 】

"Is it a fighter man?" Liu Lizi asked after the communication ended, "That thing seems to be difficult to deal with."

"The fighters are not difficult for us to deal with. In layman's terms, when we fight, we wear the power armor outside and they wear it inside. And we don't think there are fighters left here." Olega Na shook her head lightly, "There are not many fighters, and each of them is carefully designed by Sculliedi. He will not leave these 'daughters' behind."

"They're all in the cradle of the Holy King?"

"Well," Oregana looked at the time—she noticed that she thought it had been a long time, but it was actually less than two hours. Get out of Wuzhishan, we'll catch her after we've settled the matter in front of us."

"If conditions permit, it's best to capture him alive," Liu Lizi suggested. "After the main criminal, Jer Scaliadi, is caught and brought out for trial and execution, it will improve the mood of the people."

"Yes, the injured person will want the perpetrator to experience the pain he has endured. This is the nature of human beings rooted in DNA." Oregana said, "Revenge is a noble emotion, primitive justice , It existed from the beginning and was used as a way to maintain fairness and justice. But it is best not to let people come in person when conditions permit, and the sooner the better.”

"What does this mean?"

"Because if you come in person, there will only be a emptiness left after the revenge is over." Oregana turned her head and looked at Liu Lizi, "If someone else—such as us—comes to help people solve the problem at this time , can solve the problem in a short time. It is true that the joy of getting revenge will decrease, but you must know that the hatred and pain of the avengers are always rising until the moment of revenge. The longer the delay , they will suffer more."

"Well... it seems that there is such a feeling..."

"Therefore, Jere Scalietti must die, and he must die in front of the people—as for how painful the death is, it depends on how much the Space-Time Administration officially allows."

"Boss, the cat's process of catching mice is also the process of playing with its prey. And..." Liu Lizi looked sideways at the city covered in gunpowder below. When she turned her head, the Khorne emblem on her forehead was glowing slightly red." It is not only the head that can be offered to the blood god. How painful the death is does not depend on the legal permission of the Space-Time Administration—as long as a Scarlett who looks very painful is handed over to the Space-Time Administration, then everyone Everyone can see it. As for the Space-Time Administration, it is enough to sentence him to death."

The leopard looked weird, but Oregana could tell with a glance outside—she clearly remembered the outskirts of Tokyo where she grew up.Liu Lizi, who grew up in a harsh environment, has a strong pursuit of warmth beyond imagination.And Scarlett's approach obviously pierced the bottom line of this cursed son, and as a gift from the free boss, Liu Lizi can vaguely feel something similar to his own boss, because his ability is relatively weak, usually It is difficult to perceive, so I am still somewhat sensitive to the pain and fear that permeates.

Under her current calm appearance, I am afraid that there is a lava-like anger flowing quietly...

"Thanks for the reminder, we now know what to do." Oregana raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showing a warm smile, "After this round of billiards is over, let's go hunting!"

There are still four hours left before the mechanical world arrives at Midzirdah.

————————————————————

[Look at this and compare. 】

[Yes, it looks like this, when was this taken? 】

[This was found in the memory of Gauze Nicholas, long before the construction of the Sanctuary world group was completed.At that time, it was chased by the dark worm, and finally caught and eaten just before the leap.This is the only recorded encounter we have with the creature, which we all thought was extinct. 】

[Now the Skullmaker has found multiple living bodies here, and may be able to figure out the original appearance of the dark worm. 】

[The principle of the ring is considered safe at present, everything is as you expected.The Skullmaker's harvest is simply amazing, which is what you expected? 】

【Do not. 】

【Look at you, here we go again.Could you be more clear next time so we can be prepared as well. 】

[Don't be like this, there are many times when you can't say it first, any of our reactions may disrupt the plan. 】

[No... this time it's really not...]

【Okay, okay, let’s stop here today,】

After finishing speaking, the communication in front of him went out.

There was no one around, and the blue evil god sat silently by the table, his forehead covered in cold sweat.He stared at the blackened screen for a long time before muttering to himself:

"It's really not this time...it scared me to death..."

Chapter 867 Chapter 779: Welcome to the battlefield of fire supremacy

A great scientist once said that when a man sits on a hot stove for 1 minute, it feels like more than an hour has passed, but if he sits next to a cute girl for an hour, it seems like only 1 minute has passed .This is because the observer's reference frame has a great influence on the observer's perception of the passage of time, and his mental state may also affect the perception.

Oregana has experienced this feeling more than once—even if you have an excellent carrier, moving all the people from a planet is a huge project that makes people's brains hurt, not to mention that it's not just Letting people walk into the carrier ship also includes calming the panicked and hysterical people, upholding order again and again, and digging out the survivors one by one from the ruins.

"Move fast, move fast!"

"Move this place! There are wounded people below!"

All active vehicles were put into the rescue operation, the medical transport plane was used as a crane, the battle flame tank was used as a backhoe and trailer, and the marines in power armor were used as jacks to drive here and there.As the transport ships took off, the refugees were sent to the Ark in orbit, but even after several hours, a large number of people were still stranded on the ground.

Honestly, it's not surprising.During the retreat of the MUV world, the transfer of personnel was even slower than that, and that was as long as the local command system did not collapse.And the people of Midzildah... At least they moved very quickly. Under the guidance of a small number of local magisters, they quickly arrived at various open spaces and boarded the boat in an orderly manner, which invisibly increased their speed a lot.

But that's still not enough.

"Speed ​​up! Use all available vehicles! Send people up! Send as much as you can! Time is running out!!"

On the other side, the engineering team has built thirteen standard attack positions around the control tower.They are stuck on the gravitational anomaly in the outer reaches of the galaxy, and four defensive positions that are not equipped with air mines are arranged near the orbit of the Midzelda planet.The two full regular fleets of the Japari Chapter and the mixed flagship fleet of three squadrons also moved to the Midzird galaxy in the past few hours to participate in the interception of the planetary warships.

As for whether the size of this army is enough...it's hard to say.Because the enemy does not only have two mechanical worlds, but also most of its accompanying fleet, that is, the main fleet calculated in "thousands" will be released from the huge hangar when the mechanical world arrives.Exactly how many are still a mystery.

If it's just to eliminate two mechanical worlds, maybe relying on the sun is enough.But Oregana hoped that the planet Midzirda would not be smashed into pieces in the battle - the opponent's fleet definitely had this capability.And this sun is more than a star and a half weaker than the super mothership-class dark worm... in terms of performance.Therefore, how to efficiently annihilate its mechanical world and its accompanying fleet will be an extremely important topic in this battle.

Liu Lizi monitored all aspects of data and reported to Oregana:

"Boss, all departments are ready for battle, and the artillery formation has entered the firing position."

The so-called bombardment formation refers to a total of seven squadrons of Nymph-class battleships.This is the only mass-produced strike warship in Tartarus currently equipped with space artillery delivery equipment.Its low-convergence particle rapid cannon installed on the bow is as powerful as the main gun of the Molo-class dreadnought in close-range shooting, and the space projection system allows each of their guns to be 'close-range shooting' .

Their task today is to snipe the large warships in the enemy group, and when necessary, join the sequence of orbital bombing to bombard the mechanical world.

"All the warships that bombard the mechanical world at close range are actually sent to them." Oregana said while giving instructions to the commanders - do not use conventional warships to attack the mechanical world, and concentrate To fight the fleet.Then he sighed, "If I knew it would be like this, I would have made more Nymphs."

For every six Nymphs produced, one Molo-class is hunted down. To protect the Moro-class from... It seems that something is wrong... (thinking)

"Go back and place a batch of orders. I think there should be more ships of this kind."

At this moment, a communication came in, it was a commander of the Japari battle group:

[The progress of the transportation troops below is somewhat behind. 】In the background are several long queues boarding the ship. A total of eight large hatches on both sides of the transport ship are wide open. Medical transport planes carrying the wounded take off and land on the apron on the top of the transport ship from time to time.But even so, people who have not yet boarded the ship still crowded several surrounding squares [it may be impossible to complete the transfer of personnel within the scheduled time. 】

"Add more people, go all out, and move everything that can move." Oregana looked at the time, and there were still ten or four minutes before the arrival time calculated before, so she could only grit her teeth and said, "And... Let the Possum-class and Possum-class on the orbit prepare for the jump. Once the Suzheng ball enters the field, first fly the Ark ship out, and the rest will run away by themselves."

Not one of them is missing... Although I really want to say this, the most important thing for a person is to see the reality clearly.It is true that no one is important in the rescue process, but if you ignore the death line because of the pursuit of "no one less", the final result will be that it is too late to evacuate, and no one less will become "no one less".

Although it is cruel and unfair to people... But with such abilities, there is no way.

She looked at the extremely busy Midzilder low-earth orbit through the screen, without saying a word.

The arrival of the mechanical world is a few minutes later than predicted.

The first mechanical world arrived in the Outer Nat sector at 44:31:18 p.m. local time.Denat is the farthest large planet in this galaxy, its orbit is about [-]AU from the star, and outside is the world of small celestial bodies mainly composed of rock and ice.The engineering team buried a large number of gravitational wells here, forming an artificial 'false jump point'.

This successfully lured the mechanical world away from the real jump point that was only three light points away from Midzilder—to be exact, it was tricked away.

Distant starlight bends in the probe's staring ultra-wide-angle lens, as if twisted into invisible boundaries at the grasp of a black hole.Then, a crack appeared, a vortex with a diameter of [-] kilometers swirled in the empty void, the surface material peeled off like a ulcer, and the breath of the subspace overflowed, and every wrinkle spewed out dazzling, red Purple light.

A silver-white colossus emerged from the vortex, the jumping force field collapsing between the jumping arc and the defensive spherical shield.Behind it, the vortex twitched wildly, arcs of filth bouncing, groping blindly like tendrils, as if trying to catch it back before it fled.But in the end, these arcs didn't have even the slightest impact on the mechanical world.The subspace anomaly collapsed behind, and what appeared in front of the Suzheng Mechanical World detector was an unexpected scene.

But it doesn't matter--

This kind of thing didn't happen only once, the defense system would cause the jump to deviate, and Suzheng Protocol himself also used this kind of equipment to assist the defense of the temporary garrison.This means that the opponent has already prepared for his attack, but it doesn't matter, the arrival of the mechanical world is to smash all this.

The huge giant structure ended up jumping at the wrong position, and the space trembled under the pressure of this huge mass.

[Arrived at the target...offset...within the allowable range, no need to jump again...]

[Retrieve the current galaxy information memo... The database is not online... Give up the search and start the investigation directly]

[Began to detect the target... The database is not online, and the biological response control cannot be retrieved... No target found... The biological planet was detected, the hostile identification number was found... The target is confirmed, and the battle begins]

[Defensive armed forces detected...model identification...database not online...identification failed, default attack program executed...ready to attack]

[The fire control system is online, the fleet takes off]

One after another instructions rolled in the mechanical body, and the huge fort on the ground rotated slowly, pointing to the air.The steel mountain range slowly unfolded amid piercing screams, and a large number of mass delivery systems of astonishing length extended from it, throwing one giant ship after another out of the gravitational circle brought by its own mass.

And when those battleships flew out of the fortress-level planetary shield, the defense facilities began to fight back——

The fire control AI judged that all the artillery on the defensive position could not have any impact on the opponent's shield, so it chose to attack the 'carrier-based aircraft' released by the opponent.The air mine projectors ambushing nearby moved slowly to a suitable position, and then fired a powerful burning bomb at the advancing Iron Star.The plasma cloud exploded, engulfing several battleships, their ablated wreckage falling back onto the shields, exploding in astonishing sparks, and simultaneously the super-heavy laser arrays in the rear began to throw gleaming lances.

The quasi-flagship's fire hit a 'Trilobite' from the front, which melted its bow armor, but it didn't even make an attempt to evade. The AI ​​seemed to have judged that the battleship was fatally injured, so it rushed to overload the entire ship's firepower and aimed at the shining sphere in the distance before it was sunk—several control towers were propped up to protect the joint shield of other turrets—with all its strength open shot.But before the second round was played, the orbital bomb, which was half a beat behind, had already arrived.

Several large-caliber magnetic rail shells pierced into the hull like a chisel with their huge kinetic energy. After the shells were damaged, the antimatter contained in them, and the powerful energy brought by the annihilation reaction turned everything around them into continuously expanding plasma piece.The hull of a 'crab' not far away couldn't even withstand the powerful penetrating ability of these magnetic rail shells, and was pierced through from head to tail by three shells. Although most of the antimatter was prevented from collapsing in the hull, but Structural damage still dragged them to death.

The bombardment of both sides came and went, and the opponent's lack of sufficient number of "flagships" made it difficult for conventional warships to maintain an offensive posture under the absolute superiority of firepower.Although it seems that the defender has the upper hand, this is all based on the premise that the star fortress behind has not yet launched an attack.

The battle report between the AIs was quickly synchronized to the command ship. The CIC loudly reported to the commanders the situation ahead:

"Confirm the space fluctuations! The No. 170 Ninth Cosmos, No. 11, No. [-] gravitational wells have been triggered! The shadow of the ship has been confirmed, and the air mine has just detonated!"

"The anchored guns are fighting with all their strength! Overloaded, hit with all their strength! They can't hold on at all, and they can project as much firepower as possible before they explode." Oregana clenched her fists and said loudly, " Withdraw the Ark, jump to safe point 140 No. [-], and follow the fixed induction of the Requiem Bell Fortress."

【……Yes! 】The voice of the captain of the Ark ship sounded unwilling—but there was nothing he could do about it. He knew what would happen if such a non-combat ship with a weak structure remained in the war zone.【This ship is about to start jumping, the remaining The transport ship below chooses the opportunity to evacuate on its own. 】
