The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"I understand."

"This should... buy an additional six to eight hours." Oregana pondered for a moment, "It's less than thirty hours in total, and it's definitely too late to evacuate the locals now. By then, there will be no more time except for those in the sky above the vertical well." All but one of the other battleships evacuated, and then let that one jump away in front of the dark worm. This may lure the worm away from this galaxy, and if it can be dragged into a long-term guerrilla war, then It couldn't be better..."

If the other party just came to check the safety of the farm, this operation might be useful.But other situations must also be considered... If the opponent not only intends to drive away the weasel, but also intends to catch a chicken to supplement his body, he must fight the opponent on the spot.This is not just about saving people—how terrifying the dark worms will become if they are full of psionic energy, this is something no one wants to experience again.

After arranging various things, Oregana breathed a sigh of relief.She began to rediscover the feeling that the situation was still in her hands.

The first formation will arrive in five hours, the second and third formations will arrive in about four hours, and the fourth formation has arrived at the attacking position, and it is scheduled to start attacking sequentially after all arrive.After about sixty hours, the four trains will arrive at the Xiangliu Galaxy almost at the same time, and then the planetary compression will be on track...

And at this moment, another communication sent Oregana's reappearance to naught——

"Boss, the cruiser Night Owl sent a communication. The twelve heavy aircraft carrier-class dark worms in the S118549 galaxy have just entered the transition posture. Judging from the space readings, they are divided into six groups and spread out to the surrounding galaxies in a radial pattern!"

"?!"

This is almost the outermost area controlled by the Xiangliu galaxy group, and there is only a buffer zone between the territories outside. The twelve heavy aircraft carriers not only serve as the local defense force, but also serve as patrols in the surrounding space. wandering.However, twelve of them sailed together and flew to the six surrounding galaxies at the same time. This is not something that usually happens-it's hard to believe that this has nothing to do with the communication just now.

In the next few seconds, seven or eight scouts sent back communications one after another, reporting that in the galaxy they were monitoring, the swarm began to leap outward, and its goal was obviously in the galaxy next to it.From the perspective of composition, this is not a strike force, but a high-speed reconnaissance force.

Obviously, the information received by the dark worms in the Xiangliu galaxy reminded them of many things, which directly made many things worse.

This is not the worst, the worst thing at present is that the galaxy S118549 and the white dwarf galaxy just jumped.If the swarm arrives here, it will definitely expose this super project.For this kind of super project, the bug will definitely not look at it obediently like a child watching people build sandcastles by the sea.

"Then we're within range!" The rare expression on War Scythe's face became a little flustered, "How long will it take them to get here?"

"Nine hours...not much longer."

"Don't panic, the current situation is still within the expected range, it's just one of the worse ones." Seeing this situation, Oregana stood up and said loudly as if to dispel the haze in everyone's hearts, " Move according to the previous plan! Open the gravitational well at the fourth position - there are only two enemy troops in the first wave, destroy them before the opponent enters the detection range! Since it is impossible to avoid being discovered, let the opponent touch If you don't clear your mind, delaying the time is our victory!"

"Yes!"

Chapter 932 Chapter 838: Out of Control②

The huge fleet of hundreds of high-speed ships stopped sailing, ready to float like a submarine.

Most of the warships in this fleet come from the Royal Fleet of Katari-several conventional guerrilla fleets were organized together, with the famous general Sir Gules Hertaris as the commander-in-chief, and the flagship Aristotle German-class high-speed battleship Empress Chiara.This is a Catari special ship with the bottom hangar removed and replaced with a large missile launcher to launch the 'Holy Staff'. Its excellent speed, combat capability and command module make her capable of this harsh task.

However, due to the rush of time, all the warships of the guerrilla fleet were used this time. Although these warships are fast and have good maneuverability and firepower, their armor is not very trustworthy.Using all high-speed ships is only a last resort, because if you don't, you won't be able to complete the mission before the time is up.The key point of this battle is time. In order to achieve the goal, many conditions will become stricter.

This battle is destined to suffer not low casualties.

Although everyone is aware of this point, they are keen not to mention it.Before setting off, someone also persuaded Sir Grace Hurtaris, saying that she is a noble person, and she should think about herself sometimes, and not put herself in an overly dangerous situation.

And she laughed it off:

"If I use the blood and family status left by my ancestors to escape danger, it will only prove that I am cowardly and incompetent."

This is an answer that fits her usual personality, and the people who came to persuade her could only sigh and return to their own ships—there are not a few people who have special feelings for Jazz, but they clumsily persuaded her before the battle There was only one person who left, and whether it was courage or stupidity, this person stood out. (far eye)

The arrival time of the fleet was even a little earlier than scheduled, which gave the crew of each ship some time to adjust their moods.

"Huh..." Sir Gules leaned on the captain's seat, holding the command stick representing the identity of the admiral in his hand, and asked his subordinates in a lazy tone, "Melwen, how long is it?"

The girl named Melvin was a girl with short light-colored hair. She was one of the fourth batch of graduates sent by Katari to study at the Naval Academy. She majored in intelligence analysis and fleet command. Be around to help yourself.

"There are still 7 minutes," she looked at the time, and said, with the top of her head pressed to the sides, "you can send a communication, Sir Gulace."

"Yeah." The communication is just a reminder, what to do, everyone has already understood from the beginning "I am Gu Leisi, everyone is in the battle position, the battle will start in 7 minutes... the queen is with us .”

"The Queen is with us."

There was a low-pitched repeat from the bridge. This was not a deliberate request, but everyone would subconsciously repeat it, similar to the link of praying before the battle.Everyone knows that although the queen has orange hair and main ears that are said to represent the sacred, she is just an ordinary person, without magic and supernatural powers, but as long as she says this before the battle, she can bring good things to herself. Luck—this may sound contradictory, but it has become one of the customs in Katari, just like using hair or tail hair to make amulets.

Watching the time pass by second by second, Sir Gules played with the command stick, as if talking to himself:

"When I first saw the dark worm landing on Kingsun Planet, I knew that Katari's fate was about to change. But at the time, I really didn't expect that it would become like this."

What happened at that time was seen as the beginning of the friendly relationship between Katari and Tartarus, but Gules, as the person involved, did not have a good impression of this-no one would be concerned about the incident of being electrocuted to the ground What a good impression.But every time before entering the battlefield, Gu Leisi would unconsciously recall that day.

"really."

"Dr. Conley's papers are all trash. Before that, she thought that Katari was about to enter the StarCraft war and urged the Empire to start expanding its army. But we didn't go that way." Gu Leisi's ears moved up and down." Is this fate?"

"Sir, now should not be the time to think about philosophical issues." In this regard, Melvin did not answer, she just pointed to the electronic dial that was counting down, "The time has come."

"You're right..." Gu Leisi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then her whole person's aura suddenly changed.She waved her baton and pointed forward, and said loudly, "The main gun is charged, and the entire fleet is floating!"

The jump engine vibrated, and a purple-red halo appeared around the bow, and then the main propeller sprayed out dazzling propelling flames, and warships rushed into the halo without hesitation.

What appeared before everyone's eyes was a galaxy that had been completely infected.Bugs, big and small, stay quietly in all the gravitational balance points, like a swarm of bees stuck to a honeycomb. There are fragments of planets everywhere, and there are several space stations next to the only intact planet, which looks like they are placed on the ground. Birdcages in front of slaughterhouses...or worse, because slaughterhouse owners don't keep parrots as food reserves.

If you simply count by the number, including all the [-]-kilometer-long battleships wandering around, the ratio of the two sides is almost a thousand to one.They are displayed with green light dots on the sensor scan map. These guys were obviously taken aback when they saw a fleet suddenly appearing at close range, but they reacted immediately-they randomly formed dozens of Different formations passed through the blank areas on the radar map in a chaotic manner.And farther away, the scan map shows that there are still a large number of dark worms waiting outside the range of the area.

The universe is divided into three parts and seven parts... Gu Leisi has heard this story before, but the effect of hearing it with four ears is far inferior to seeing it with two eyes.

If the goal was to defeat or annihilate the enemy, she would not even have a chance of success. The battlefield slapped the word 'unfair' on Jazz's face without delay.But I never intended to win here.

"Fill all the gun ports and aim at the battleship-class target," Sir Grace touched the ground with the tip of his cane lightly. "Lock a dozen at random and provoke them."

"learn!"

The Aristotle-class battleship (although it is a dreadnought by Tartarian standards) is positioned as an anti-swarm battleship. She is designed to destroy a large number of targets. She carries a total of 26 Mengendar The sub-produced 6800mm "Split Earth" howitzer and a large number of small and medium-sized artillery can instantly weave a devastating firepower network in any area within the range, which can easily destroy conventional battleships that are too dense in formation.

And this is what she is doing now - the 'Empress Chiara' rotates the turret, uses the main gun to fire a round of salvo at the most densely populated area of ​​the enemy group, and then, the artillery that can reach the shooting range is thrown outward with amazing momentum Destructive steel and fire.Half a second later, the other warships also began to bombard with their main cannons, dazzling flashes followed, and the majestic bombardment dealt a head-on blow to the approaching swarm.

The giant bomb fired by the ground-splitting howitzer exploded in front of the enemy's formation. Thousands of small fusion bombs and a large number of giant fragments smashed head-on at the battleship class advancing in formation. This small dark worm individual with a length of [-] kilometers could not withstand the explosion at close range. , its carapace is vaporized, its body fluids are evaporated in the heat radiation, and its body melts like a popsicle in the summer sun.In other parts of the enemy's formation, a large number of shells caused continuous explosions everywhere, and the light of the explosions shone like stars.

But that doesn't mean victory here.

The order given by Sir Gules was only to arouse the opponent's hostility while minimizing the opponent's firepower.This kind of attack is difficult to damage the foundation of the insect swarm calculated in units of thousands. The giant bomb flew across the void like a meteor, blasting out a dazzling light ball, but the explosion halo has not dissipated. The body emerged from the light, the rays of the biological laser cannon swept across the array of the expedition team, and the two warships immediately fell into a sea of ​​flames.

Under the shooting far beyond the acceptable range, neither the shield nor the armor is meaningful.The shield collapsed at the first touch, and the armor was shot through dozens of holes in a few seconds. The high heat accumulated inside the hull, and the metal vapor raged in every channel, burning everything in front of it, whether it was the crew or the equipment.No one can accept that the out-of-control hull will eventually be swallowed by the swarm, those who survived by chance will be reduced to food, and even their memories will be taken away. The first time the overloaded power furnace sank with the ship——

The danger of launching an escape pod here is too great, and the speed of the fleet’s maneuvering can hardly keep up with the escape pod, and no one will have time to recover it. Compared with the escape pod being captured by the swarm, it is extremely painful to be eaten or even brainwashed for reuse, everyone He did not hesitate to choose the ending of joining Lie Yan (raging flames).

Gules felt the vibration of the hull, and the sirens and the shouts of the messengers came from beside his ears.When the enemy started to counterattack, the number of casualties here immediately increased.But it was too late for her to feel sad about the fate of her comrade-in-arms——

"Keep shooting and irritating them, the fleet follows the ship! Launch smoke bombs to weaken the laser!" The skilled commander clearly issued one order after another, "Be careful not to be surrounded, and the wounded ship should retreat as much as possible!!"

"The enemy's carrier-based aircraft is coming!"

"Expand the anti-air barrage on the port side! Release the escort drone!"

The scale of this battle was much larger than expected, and the aura of the insect swarm was terrifying, but the more it was like this, the greater the pressure it was under, the more Gules understood that everything was going according to plan .

When more than half of the local swarms began to approach the battlefield, she swallowed:

"Second battle speed - just like flying a kite, drag them towards the jump point!"

----------------

Nine stars revolved rapidly around the black hole, and the surrounding psychic signals for communication almost never stopped.

Judging from the latest communication received, something is wrong...

It was a message from the ranch. The message was not long and not detailed enough, but it was enough to alert everyone—at least one unknown warship was active in the local area, and it or they were touching the property that everyone had been operating for many years.

This is the last thing they want to see.Many years ago, the ranch was attacked once. As a result, the guards protecting the ranch were annihilated, and more than half of the individuals buried locally for surveillance were destroyed.Then, in order to prevent their fellow races from discovering the painstakingly managed ranch, they chose to use psionic operation to block the signal passively... Indeed, the ranch is very important, but this hatchery is even more important, and the hatchery has always been used by those greedy fellow races and Some incomprehensible things are staring at them. Under this situation, they dare not disperse their forces at will. They can only reduce the chance of the pasture being discovered and protect the hatchery with all their strength.

But today, what appeared on the ranch was not his own kind, nor was it the unknown predator.It was a battleship, the weapon used by those small intelligent creatures to fight in the universe.Though fragile in their own right, races that develop long enough can create warships powerful enough to threaten them, and they are almost never alone.

Judging from the news, this is not a battleship that the locals of the ranch will use—the design and manufacture of the warships of the ranch have been led to a wrong path, and they have been given the technology to eliminate the swarm infection. Let them use the carapaces shed by their compatriots to make warships.Limited by materials, the performance of this kind of warship will never be high, and because it is convenient and easy to build such a ship, and there is always competition from foreign enemies, they can only use this kind of shipbuilding method and cannot dive down to climb the technology tree again .

When the creatures in the pasture raise birds, they will cut off their flight feathers so that they cannot leave the ground, and what they do is essentially the same thing, but on a different scale.This is the game rule of the ranch. Even if the creatures in the cage are unwilling, they must abide by it as long as they stay here, because they have no power to break this rule, nor do they have the power to leave here.

The existence of this rule meant that they would never be able to produce warships that were qualified to fight head-on with their masters, and at the same time, they would not be easily polluted and their growth sequences would be disturbed.The fence is very strong and the disinfection measures are in place, which is enough for the ranch.

However, the battleship with the rust-colored shell was not randomly spliced ​​out of the carapace, it obviously came from the outside world.As for where the outside world refers to, it is debatable.

Maybe it is a race raised by other ethnic groups, sent to scout their own pastures, and intends to seize it; maybe it is a civilization that grew up quietly in an undiscovered galaxy, and sent ships to explore this world; After the civilization of hunting by ethnic groups, the ships in the fleet strayed here... If it was the distant past, I would still think about whether it was the group that claimed to be the "Allied Forces" that came here. At that time The powerful force they erupted in order to survive really frightened me. Even my companions with the bodies of stars have fallen in front of them. The nebula produced by the explosion is still shining in a corner of the universe, as if boasting of their greatness victory.

However, they have long since disappeared—they disappeared into the depths of the universe with their own people, and never tried to regain their own territory... Where are they now? I don't know, but if they survive to this day, they will definitely become a delicacy that has never been seen before.

This is what I and my companions have accumulated strength so far. When the evolution is complete and the group prospers, we will chase them in the direction they left at that time.If they are extinct, pay tribute to the strongest opponents you have faced in the past. If they are still prosperous, then try your best to defeat them and turn them into your own strength.

It is a pity that not everyone of the same race can agree with their own ideas.They are not interested in the great expedition they are preparing for, but they are greedy for the foundation they have managed for many years, which really makes me feel sorry.

In order to find out what the origin of this battleship is, I have to send the lower-level individuals to investigate on the spot - I would have known that I would not have killed the intelligent races in the ranch. If they had the scanning technology for the entire galaxy, the news coming The news will not only be so vague.But it wasn't just the ranch that had to be investigated, given the possibility that it was a smoke bomb that the dull ones were planning to use against themselves.

Anyway, there is no shortage of manpower, so I took this opportunity to scan all the nearby galaxies to see if there is a ranger hiding there.If there are, give them a good beating.This is not a big deal, but a prudence necessary to survive in these turbulent times.

They continued to revolve around the black hole after giving instructions. They formed the first orbit here after they could control the movement of the stars. They voluntarily entangled by the gravity of the black hole in order to complete the feathering and Large-scale hatching of eggs.When the eggs next to her hatched and her eclosion finished, she could no longer be bound here, and go to the unknown shore without any scruples.

What happened next, however, was not pleasant to any creature caught in the storm.

There are several data pipe cables stuck behind Oregana's neck. She controls her battleship to stop at the designated position, fuel is filled into the doomsday weapon system, and the entire ship of Tiamat turns into a powerful ship. Artillery, waiting for the moment of firing.

This is a place more than four hundred astronomical units outside the planetary system. It is completely impossible to detect what happened in the planetary system here—even without the influence of the wreckage of the stars, the sensors of conventional warships are also powerless against targets at this distance.This is the venue Tartarus prepared for the attack—there were only two enemies, and apparently they were just scouts who came to take a peek at what was going on. The way of carpet search is to search the surrounding galaxies only.

Then, there is a way to deal with it.

First of all, a traditional gravitational trap has been placed on the edge of this galaxy, and the Sap team is already standing beside it. As soon as the opponent enters the door, Sap will smash on the head, smashing them to death at the fastest speed. here.As long as you die fast enough, you won't see anything.

But this is not enough.If only the scouts of this galaxy are shot to death by Sap, it is actually telling the other party that there is an army deployed here, so that it doesn’t matter whether you can see it or not. Immediately, the swarm will rush towards the teammate of the enemy with blood The same rushes over.Therefore, Oregana separated some of the troops to several other galaxies.

There are only two heavy aircraft carrier classes in each wave of enemies, so it is enough to prepare the firepower that can kill two heavy aircraft carrier classes in seconds, that is to say, three Doomsday Dreadnoughts, or five mass-produced wave gun carrying ships.And it is not difficult to find such big bang bangs and arrange them in the designated galaxy within nine hours - there are temporary gravitational traps set up at each interception point, and there are saps next to the gravitational traps. All the scouts that Na herself sent to the surrounding galaxies were blown up, and she herself would be scared to doubt her life.

She believed that the bugs would do the same, and it was not just a psychological deterrent. The first wave of scouts sent them all without seeing anything, which would also waste a lot of time.The only problem is... this division of troops is too risky. After all, two heavy aircraft carrier-class ships are not a problem for bugs, but three doomsday dreadnoughts are a big deal.

However, this is not a gamble, but a carefully considered choice.If we only fight one round of confrontation, we will expose everything here, and at the same time annihilate all the opponent's scouts in a total of [-] galaxies, so that we can gain an advantage in intelligence and time-this kind of exchange is quite worthwhile...

Liu Lizi sat on the control seat, and there was also a nerve link on the back of her neck:

"'Locomotives' are starting to engage their respective targets, but 'carriages' are not yet of the required size."

In other words, is it a little bit worse...

"What about casualties?"

"It's still under control."

If so, then there is no problem for the time being.Oregana focused her attention on her eyes:

"Understood, the matter over there is handed over to the on-site commander, the enemy target is about to arrive!" She said to the surrounding drivers, "Destroy them as quickly as possible, and don't let them see the superfluous things!"

"Yes!"

A whole team of doomsday dreadnoughts lined up beside them, in terms of imposing manner, they looked like those guys with nails on their shoulders waiting to shoot Tekkadan's face, or... squatting behind the star gate and waiting for the goods Tornadoes passing through the gate.

All the drivers have completed all the preparatory work before shooting, and the ray axes are all aimed at the direction of the gravitational well.The observation ship's information echoed in the command link——

[Three, two, one... landing! 】

"Explode its dog's head!!" Oregana aimed at the dark worm scout who had just appeared and hadn't even dissipated the arc. Tower (Cybuster) Cosmic Nova!!! (CosmoNova)”
