Blinding psionic torrents washed over the battlefield again and again, tearing, assimilating, igniting, and destroying everything in their path. Heavy fortress missiles burst out from the rippling dimensional doors, and every time these eerie destroyers appeared, they would unleash a fireball as dazzling as a small star. Warships were silently dismembered in space, and powerful weapons that could easily destroy any planetary civilization were everywhere. Space warships that were seen as miracles on the battlefield of mortals were expendable here, and they were reduced to fireworks in the sky.
The New Army had abandoned most of their peripheral territories to concentrate all their forces on the battlefield around the core of peace and its surroundings, but that did not mean that all of the peripheral territories were easy to capture. Some of the peripheral worlds were military routes, and the New Army needed these platforms to gather troops or to stop the reinforcements sent by Abyssal Schilling to the core of peace. Therefore, on these 'key nodes', both sides were unwilling to give in, and the warriors fought with their lives on the line for every space facility, every World Gate, to prevent these military routes from falling into the enemy's control at all costs.
This universe was the most contested one, and it was also the bridgehead between the New Army and the Old Army. Most of the original space facilities in the universe had been destroyed, and the old sovereign hub was now only a few astronomical units of scorching slag. Currently, the warring parties were seizing control of the universe by building temporary World Gates and sovereign facilities, and the arrival of the 'United Army' had completely pushed the New Army into a disadvantageous position. If there were no accidents, occupying this universe was only a matter of time.
The First, Sixth, and Seventh Fleets (Mana Legion) had already cleared a few small-scale contested points, and half an hour ago, they had teleported to two neighboring universes through the World Gate to assist the Old Army in clearing out the remnants of the enemy. The situation was good, and those were two worlds that had been half-abandoned. The New Army was fighting and retreating, and their desire to defend was not that strong. Soon, we would probably have two new bridgeheads.
The rest of the fleets and the Protoss forces continued to attack the transportation hub, trying to take it down in the shortest time possible.
"High-energy reaction on the flank, a massive entity approaching … confirmed to have been attacked by warp missiles, the United Shield is still intact."
"Gravitational distortion detected at the rear of the fleet … attacked by stealth bombers, interceptors set off."
The command center was busy, but it was still orderly. I looked at the holographic projection in the center of the hall, which showed the images from the spy probes. In the gray background of space, a dim ring facility was slowly rotating. It was huge, perhaps as big as the moon, and black and red battleships were constantly emerging from the ring, bringing us an endless stream of enemies. Around this huge ring was a hybrid formation formed by a large group of fortress ships and Eternal motherships. These two types of ships had powerful defenses, and the United Shield they had built was unbelievably strong. But in the gaps of the hybrid formation, there was something even more troublesome: a strange alloy tower that looked like several prisms of different sizes put together. These prisms glowed with a mysterious red light, and every time the red light flashed, the surrounding United Shield would strengthen a little. These were the enemy's shield broadcast towers, and they looked similar to the models used by the Empire, but seemed to recharge a little faster. These broadcast towers greatly increased the recharge rate of the United Shield, allowing the large shields to recharge at the same rate as the smaller shields, and under the protection of the United Shield, the enemy's Eternal motherships naturally had a safer firing environment.
But it wasn't a big problem — we had the advantage in firepower and numbers. Although the enemy's World Gate was constantly sending reinforcements here was a problem, the Abyss Xi Ling had almost wiped out all the enemies on the World Barrier. Under the strong interference, the New Army's teleportation speed was obviously getting slower and slower, and the large spaceships seemed to have been damaged during the teleportation.
A volley of galactic main cannons shook the enemy's United Shield again, and tore a hole in front of it. The other firepower ships immediately seized the opportunity to unleash a torrent of cannon fire, widening the hole and rapidly killing the Abyss Battleships inside the United Shield. Inside the Imperium's Union Shield, the long and narrow expeditionary starships formed a dense firepower formation under the cover of the frontier fortress ships. Together, they created a hyperspace gate in space and then activated the 'corona' main cannon that they carried, projecting the firepower of the entire fleet into the hyperspace gate. The powerful surge of energy destroyed the gate instantly, but before the gate on this end collapsed, the enemy's Union Shield had already opened a vent of firepower. Thousands of bright beams of psionic energy swept everything like exploding 'spikes'.
This was the result of a serious breach of the Combined Shield. In addition to the gravitational trap generator, the Combined Shield was also an important means of resisting the hyperspace firepower. When the shield was intact, the hyperspace firepower could only appear at a distance from the formation, but if the Combined Shield's breach rate exceeded 30%, the hyperspace firepower could rush into the formation of the fleet after the special enhancement, which was equivalent to dropping a fragmentation bomb in the enemy's body. After a silent firework, a large number of warships on the battlefield turned into flying ash.
Just when the enemy was a little confused because of this powerful attack, a large area of spatial distortion suddenly appeared behind their fleet, and then a brilliant wave of light suddenly erupted.
A large group of indescribable 'troops' emerged from the wave of light and quickly rushed toward the enemy's United Shield.
The tide of light was like layers of auroras. When it filled the space, it looked both like a spectacular luminous nebula and a long wall of light between liquid and solid. It spanned more than tens of thousands of kilometers and was roughly long and narrow in shape, but it did not have a fixed shape. In the floating light, the first to rush out was a group of giant 'people' hundreds of meters tall. These giants had a general humanoid appearance, but their faces were blurry, and their bodies seemed to be covered in a layer of armor. They were pure products of holy light, and their fighting method was to turn into light and rush into the enemy's spaceship to trigger a chain reaction. When matter and energy faced the holy light, they would be reduced to the original light and heat, and the whole process was full of destruction. And along with the giants of light, there was also a kind of small light, which was even stranger. It was completely impossible to see their form and limbs, just like drifting smoke. These light clusters would actively stick to the enemy's shield and then sacrifice themselves, neutralizing the shield. In battle, they always acted as the vanguard for the giants of light because the giants of light did not seem to be very good at dealing with units with shields. It was not that they could not deal with them at all, but their power would be greatly weakened by the shields.
Behind the giants of light and the 'cloud' were more strange 'soldiers.' Some were similar to elemental creatures, some looked like robots, but in fact, were 'golems.' There were also pure shadows that could only be identified when they hit the target. The last one was obviously the power of the Dark Protoss.
Shadows were everywhere. Places that could not be illuminated by light were shadows. Places that were carelessly overlooked were also shadows. Negative factors in one's mind were also shadows. The Dark Protoss's shadow power was not as simple as using 'shadows' to fight. It could appear and grow in any place that you could and could not think of. It could hide in the corners of darkness, the corners of sight, the corners of the soul, and even the corners of history and time. These were all 'environments' that allowed the Dark Protoss to unleash its power. I saw a thick, ink-like darkness spread to the middle of an enemy warship and quickly dragged the warship into a strange space where light and shadow intersected. Logically speaking, the middle of the warship was being illuminated by all kinds of light, so it was impossible for a shadow to appear. But perhaps the crew of the warship had accidentally taken their eyes off the ship's monitor for a moment. They had created a 'shadow' in their attention, so their own warship instantly became the source of power for the Dark Protoss.
This was the battle scene of the Protoss army. Before the Protoss soldiers personally went out to fight, they were used to throwing out a bunch of messy 'cannon fodder.' Those giants of light, elemental creatures, divine soldiers, and the power of shadow were all 'weapons' that they used in battle. When the five Protoss cops were with the Imperial Army, they rarely used such a method of battle. That was because there were only a few of them, and it was a waste of effort to set up hidden weapons and divine spell formations on the battlefield. But this time, the Protoss had come with an entire army, so they had ample time to set up various formations. Naturally, we had the chance to see their 'orthodox method of battle.'
"We're not like you. You have all sorts of warships and all sorts of weapon combinations, while the Protoss lack large-scale weapons and equipment. That's why we've developed another method of battle, which is to create 'variables' and 'anomalies.'" Icetis couldn't help but smile proudly as she watched the enemy stubbornly resist being caught off guard by the various divine soldiers surging out of the wave of light. "These divine soldiers and divine spells aren't as violent as yours in terms of absolute lethality, but they're very strange and hard to defend against. Not only that, they can find loopholes in the world's laws at any time. Although the Shiring Apostles are immune to law damage, they aren't immune to the various environmental damage caused by the chaotic laws of the world."
I was still curiously looking at the dark power that kept spreading through the enemy fleet. This type of divine power that was capable of using all "shadows" to strengthen itself was truly frightening. In fact, it was even capable of taking advantage of the moment when you blinked, lowered your guard, or changed your mind, and used your lack of focus as nourishment to strengthen itself. This power made people involuntarily associate it with all sorts of evil and negative things. No wonder the Darkness Gods always mocked themselves for giving people a bad first impression. Whenever they tried to spread their religion, they would always run into conspiracy theorists … Their Divine Arts were simply too evil.
The enemy fell into a temporary state of confusion, but they quickly regrouped. The innate combat talent of the Shiring Apostles made them decide to deal with the threat first. The Protoss's ability to increase their combat power over time was truly a huge threat. If they left them alone, the entire battlefield would soon be filled with divine spells, and the area within a few light years would be directly transformed into a "Heaven on Earth" -like environment in the Divine Realm. By then, the Shiring Apostles would be completely helpless.
The shielded broadcast towers increased their output, and a group of fortress ships began to focus their defense on the positions that were being invaded by the Protoss. At the same time, dark red mutated psionic beams began to sweep through the brilliant waves of light. The giants of light and other divine creations of the Protoss were obviously not "tanky" enough. Under the sweep of the psionic beams, these divine creations that had been hastily made exploded into light fragments that filled the sky.
The spreading shadows also quickly retreated and were suppressed in the blink of an eye.
The power of the Dark Protoss was strange and difficult to defend against, but that was basically for mortals. For the Shiring Apostles who had mastered information correction and conceptual technology, as long as it was below the Void, there was no problem of being unable to defend against it. A specific frequency of psionic energy could produce an assimilation effect on all matter, energy, and dimensions. Of course, the dark forces could not escape the same fate. The New Army increased the strength of some of the ships' shields, and the dark forces that had just achieved some results were quickly repelled.
But the New Army only managed to turn the situation around a little, and their other line of defense completely collapsed. While the enemy's attention was diverted by the Protoss, Sandora ordered all of the Royal Fleet's missile silos to be activated. Thousands of "X-3 Grave Digger" and "X-4 Death Knell" fortress missiles crossed the battlefield between the two sides and bombarded the enemy's joint shield.
The dark red and turbid energy shield rippled violently and quickly went out of control. A surge of energy spread out and formed layers of waves on the surface of the shield. Then, accompanied by a slight distortion of space, the enemy's shielded broadcast towers and fortress ships overloaded and exploded like firecrackers, and the enemy's formation was suddenly turned into a sea of light.
A large-scale overload of the joint shield in battle was a catastrophic event, and it would cause all ships connected to the shield to suffer a backlash from the energy surge, and the indestructible fortress ships would begin to collapse from the internal power core. All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
The enemy's defense collapsed in an instant, and the wave of light that had been wiped out by a third quickly recovered. The Protoss warriors formed from the light, and this time, they were accompanied by more re-created divine soldiers, and before the enemy could react, the army rushed into the broken joint shield.
The last resistance was quickly swept away, but just like the few positions they had won before, before the New Army completely collapsed, they detonated the World Gate and all the facilities around it, and through the self-destruction created a dimensional storm that could last for a long time. The area was completely destroyed.
But no matter what, the New Army had one less way to send reinforcements to this world, and by now, Abyssal Schilling had almost completely controlled the World Barrier.
"Hah … It's fine if you use it on yourself, but it's really annoying if the enemy uses it too." Shadora looked at the vast space that was filled with ruins and high-energy clouds. It was no longer suitable to build a new World Gate, and there were no resources left for them to plunder. "It's all blown up again."
"This universe is basically wiped out." I was already familiar with the New Army's extreme fighting style — it was basically the same when I fought against Abyssal Schilling, so I didn't have too many regrets. Instead, I looked at the battle reports before me. "The battles in the other battlefields are almost over, and the New Army has wasted too many troops here. It seems that they have finally decided to give up on this path. Abyssal Schilling, how's the situation on your side? "
Abyssal Schilling's interactive interface, which was the black box, was still accompanying us in the command hall of the Empire Admiral, but her main attention was still on the command of the New Army. When no one disturbed her, she sat motionless on the spot as if she was asleep, and only when someone called her did she look up. "Sealing the World Barrier. Also, the passage to the next world is about to be opened, we need more World Gates. Otherwise, the interference will be too concentrated, and the teleportation will be prone to accidents. "
I nodded, and the Royal Fleet warped to an empty space a light year away. This place was outside the battlefield, and the spatial tremors caused by the explosion of the New Army before they completely collapsed didn't spread here. Although the surroundings were empty, and there was no suitable environment such as a gravitational anchor point … but in this desolate universe, it didn't matter where the World Gate was built.
Just as I was about to order the deployment of the components of the temporary World Gate, a voice suddenly came from the communicator. "Lord General, martial arts flourish! This ship has returned in triumph, lalala ~! ~! "
I looked up and saw a huge gravitational distortion zone in space. Then, a silver-white planetary battleship appeared a few million kilometers in front of the fleet, and there was a fleet of escorts patrolling the orbit of the planetary battleship. The Vengeance Army had completed the suppression of the other battlefields, and the excited Warlord had immediately come to report the results of the battle.
Visca had just gotten over his addiction to war, and he was in high spirits, so he didn't hesitate to praise, "Mm, well done. I will be very happy too."
The Warsong spun rapidly in space, and as she spun, she made everyone's face full of gravitational force, "Aha, I am indeed the strongest! Brother General, do you have any other missions? I will help you … "
I looked at the map of the battlefields that had almost completely calmed down, and then looked at the Vengeance Army, and suddenly had an idea, "Do you want to take on the responsibility of escorting the entire Imperial Army?"
The Warsong was not stupid. She immediately warned that she might be fooled, and immediately became vigilant, "Brother General, are you going to sell me out?"
"I want to build a World Gate here," I admitted. "This is the frontline and the World Gate is the main target of the enemy's attack. So, I need sufficient defensive power. How about you be the anchor point of the World Gate? You can use gravitational force on anyone at any time. "
The Vengeance Army was powerful, and they would have been more suitable to be the attacking force. However, the fact that they had to fight for a temporary World Gate reminded me that in this kind of battlefield, the defense force of the transportation hub needed more combat power.
Even if we could take over this universe, there was no guarantee that the New Army wouldn't charge in through other means. By then, once the Imperial Army's World Gate was lost, we would all be trapped inside, and reinforcements wouldn't be able to come in.
I just didn't know what Lunatic Two was thinking. Logically speaking, that lunatic shouldn't like guarding the World Gate, but I couldn't think of anyone more suitable for this job than her. The Warsong was currently our most resistant spaceship, and it was more resilient both physically and mentally.
