Yamato Cannon!
That was a plasma cannon that could shake the shield of a Proteus battleship. It was the strongest shipboard weapon created by humans. If she was hit by that thing head-on, even a leader-class apostle like Pandora would be injured. Although that little girl was powerful, she hadn't reached the level of invincibility, right?
But Pandora didn't seem to notice anything. She allowed the dangerous light beam to gradually charge to the limit. I didn't believe that the hundreds of detection systems on her at all times couldn't detect such a powerful energy wave. Could it be that this girl was so hot-blooded that she underestimated the enemy to this extent?
Or did she have her own plans?
Although I was a little anxious, I still didn't say anything to remind her. Pandora was a person who was often hot-blooded, but she was able to reach the position of a general of the Empire step by step. She definitely wouldn't be a completely fierce Zhang Fei, right?
And looking at the calm expression of Pandora's aide-de-camp, Silvers, I also felt a little relieved.
At this moment, the enemy's two battleships finally finished charging. A thick light beam surged out from the muzzle of the Yamato Cannon. In an instant, it crossed the distance of thousands of kilometers between it and the target and attacked Pandora who didn't seem to hear it.
From the enemy's communication channel came an earth-shattering cheer. They had even forgotten that the enemy's main force had yet to appear. Now that they could eliminate this terrifying little girl, it was enough for these unlucky human soldiers to celebrate.
Pandora turned her head, then suddenly opened her mouth as if she was screaming with all her might. Her entire upper body leaned forward slightly.
Of course, it was impossible for sound to travel in a vacuum. But although I couldn't hear any sound, I recognized what this signboard action was.
Loli Lion's Roar … Of course, there were also people who called it Helium Flash.
A crimson energy array with a radius of five meters appeared in the void in an instant. Then, a violent dark red beam of light erupted from the front of the array. The violent flash instantly blinded the eyes of countless titanium alloy dogs at the scene. Then, the uncharged economical helium flash collided head-on with the huge plasma torrent formed by the combination of two Yamato Cannons.
After a stalemate that lasted less than a second, the psionic torrent released by the leader apostle and the plasma cannons created by the humans were decided.
The seemingly powerful energy torrent released by the latter was completely neutralized. Then, the Helium Flash, which was only slightly dimmed, directly hit one of the two battlecruisers that launched the sneak attack.
There was another series of explosions. The captain of the battlecruiser did not even have time to give the next order before he was turned into a firework in space along with his ship.
As for the other battlecruiser, due to its position being slightly off, it managed to dodge Pandora's helium flash and survived. However, it only survived for a few more seconds. Weska controlled the four floating cannons to appear directly above the battlecruiser's hull through a space jump. While releasing a gray beam with extremely powerful penetrative ability, the cannons swiftly circled around the enemy.
The entire battlecruiser was neatly divided into five sections.
Without a doubt, such a counterattack was even more impactful. So, Pandora was demonstrating her power?
The intense battle, or rather, a one-sided suppression, had progressed to this point. Half of the fleet that Denton brought had already been buried in the storm of psionic weapons. The remaining remnants were also in a state of desolation. Their armor was in tatters, and it was unknown if they could even safely return to their main camp. As for those fragile Viking fighter aircrafts and the like — in the face of the mobile floating cannons that specialized in restraining these types of troops, they were completely annihilated.
"Pandora, Visca, you can come back now."
Feeling that it was about time, I used a mental connection to interrupt the two lunatics' solo performance. The crisscrossing beams of light in the low-Earth orbit instantly disappeared, leaving behind a group of broken human battleships that were smoking and on the verge of collapse.
Pandora and Visca disappeared from the enemy's radar at the same time. They had already used Dimensional Jump to return to the command center in General City. Now, they were busy showing off their outstanding military achievements in front of me. The two lasses' faces were glowing with excitement. It was obvious that the most dangerous powder keg of the Imperial Army would have a few days of peace in the near future.
The hundreds of floating cannons were still on the battlefield, flying in all directions under the effect of their thrusters. One moment, they would form an'S 'shape, the next moment, they would form a' B 'shape …
"Connect the communicator to me."
I instructed. The other party had been sending me calls continuously for a few minutes now.
"Alright, I think you should be more clear-headed now, Human Commander."
On the holographic projection, the previously majestic General Dan Dun was in a sorry state.
His majestic Federation military uniform was in a mess, and the captain's hat on his head was nowhere to be seen. This Caucasian officer must have rolled on the floor with his soldiers when the battleship was attacked. His face was smeared with black stains of unknown origin, and fresh blood flowed down from his forehead, making his face look sinister and sinister.
Although under my instructions, Pandora and Visca didn't destroy the enemy's flagship, it was impossible to expect the two hot-blooded fellows to remain unscathed against the enemy. The flagship that Dan Dun was in had been brushed by Pandora's attacks multiple times in a row, and now, it was barely maintaining its shape. After rocking and rolling inside for so long, Dan Dun's current appearance was no surprise to me.
After being beaten to such a state by two little girls in less than an hour, the Human Commander on the holographic projection had a blank expression on his face. I didn't wait for the other party to reply, instead, I waved my hand impatiently. "You can leave now. Go back and report to your Emperor Mengsk that the sole purpose of our Xiling Empire is to exterminate the Zerg, not to protect the humans. If you don't know what's good for you — Exterminating one race or two races, to us, is the difference between firing once and firing twice."
After saying that, I ignored the other party's widened eyes and immediately turned off the communicator.
At the same time, the gravitational trap that had enveloped the low-Earth orbit of Planet Black Egg closed. The Independent Federation's fleet had long lost the courage to fight. After discovering that their hyperdrive had suddenly recovered its power, they didn't hesitate for a second to leave this extremely dangerous planet.
"How is it? An absolute victory. "
I turned around and waved my hand in front of Reynolds' eyes, waiting for him to come back to his senses.
Reynolds opened his mouth but didn't know where to start. Then, his gaze landed on Pandora, who was standing quietly beside me, and Bubble, who was busy talking to her. (Speaking of which, why did this little girl wander into the command room again?) Visca, who was trying to gain a sense of superiority in terms of height, suddenly slumped his shoulders.
"Alright, I won't comment. What do you want now? The coordinates of the Zerg's mother planet, Char? I can give it to you immediately, powerful saviors. "
He was completely convinced by our strength. Furthermore, it was our individual strength that was strong enough to go against the fleet alone. This kind of legendary strength was something that no one could ignore.
What I want to say is that Denton had severely underestimated the strength of the Xiling Empire, while Reynolds had severely overestimated us. He probably thought that Pandora and Visca were just children of our race, so he directly labeled every single one of the Schilling people as Ultraman. That was why he proposed the beautiful idea of directly sweeping through Planet Char. He would never have imagined that Pandora and Visca, who looked like two short winter melons, were actually the top DPS among us. Just now, we were purely relying on our absolute superiority in terms of quality to take the arrogant emissary of the Independent Federation down a notch.
"It's definitely not a good idea to attack Char right now." I rejected Reynolds' suggestion without hesitation. I reckon that he was just saying it. If he really allowed a bunch of fiendish Empire soldiers to wipe out his former girlfriend, the current leader of the Zerg, the Queen of Blades, he wouldn't be known as the Queen Lover who roamed the galaxy. "Our foundation is still shallow. Furthermore, the Zerg's numbers are a huge problem. As long as there are even a few of them left, all of our efforts will be in vain. These fellows' reproductive ability is too strong."
Reynolds curled his lips noncommittally. His gaze drifted towards the barracks outside that were desperately "reproducing". It was obvious that our "reproductive ability" wasn't weak either.
"Mengsk is a vengeful person," Reynolds suddenly reminded. "I don't know why he would send such a troublemaker over today, but since you have almost wiped out his entire army, he will definitely take revenge on you."
"Will he?" I didn't really believe it. "With the Independent Federation's strength, it's impossible for us to contend against the Xiling Empire. Mengsk knows this very well."
Reynolds shook his head. "You don't really understand that person. Not only is he vengeful, but he is also naturally suspicious and has a strong sense of danger. Dan Dun's defeat was too bizarre, so it's still unknown how much Mengsk will believe. Furthermore, even if he is facing an enemy that is countless times stronger than him, that fellow will only learn his lesson after running into walls repeatedly. Mengsk is a pure opportunist. Back then, because of this, he almost suffered a loss in the hands of the Protoss Protoss. He even dared to make use of the 'Protoss' and even dared to form an alliance with the insectoids. You can't imagine how daring he is. More importantly, your appearance has seriously threatened his rule. Any qualified ruler would never allow such a dangerous and uncontrollable force to appear in his own territory. Rather than saying hello today, I'm afraid that it's more like a test. Even if there's a little bit of friction between the two parties, he will probably push all the blame onto Dan Dun's recklessness. However, it seems like he really did send an idiot over. That fellow has caused everything to go beyond redemption, so …"
"So Mengsk's next move was inevitable." I shrugged, then put on a surprised expression. "I thought your brain had been drowned in vodka."
Reynolds, who had just been speaking with confidence and composure, immediately opened his mouth wide in embarrassment. Then, he scratched his head without a care.
Build enough war factories, accumulate a large number of troops, and then launch an attack on the nearest Zerg planet, gradually attracting the attention of their ruler, the Queen of Blades. Then, think of a way to lure the Queen out, have Sandora invade the Queen's soul, and use the Queen of Blades' absolute control over the entire Zerg race to destroy the entire Zerg race. This simple and straightforward plan was my strategy. However, I didn't expect an idiot like Mengsk to appear halfway through. Perhaps we would have to slightly change our course of action.
After all, we were a race that could engage in galactic warfare. The three factions in this Star Zone all had trump cards that they could use. Even the weakest humans here would have a headache if they were to use their entire race's power to fight against us.
After ordering Sives to notify the other six armies to list the Independent Federation as a potential enemy, Sandora and I began to study the star map. We used the changes in power and the movements of the Zerg race in the entire Star Zone that Reynolds provided us to determine the future trend. Alright, I admit that the one in charge of the research was actually Sandora. Like Shallow Shallow, I was just a bystander in the background …
The high temperature and energy storm of the planet formed by EOP-03 had gradually calmed down. Although we could still see the scorched blackish-red color of the sky through the energy barrier above General City, there were still gigantic pillars of fire and magma rising into the sky from time to time in the distance. The edge of the silver land beneath our feet was still in a half-melted state. The entire Black Egg Planet should have become Red Egg Planet by now, and the crust was being remolded everywhere, but …
Speaking of which, how could such an earth-shattering scene be called 'the planet has gradually calmed down'? Bubble, you better check your logic properly, you bastard!
Alright, back to the original topic. The high temperature of the planet formed by EOP-03 had gradually … calmed down. We had sent out hundreds of special task forces with nearly a thousand builders to the three hundred regions of the planet that had been demarcated. They had worked day and night to build basic artillery. Liliana had used her own power and the seed of the World Tree that she had obtained from Jingle to create a spore plant that could survive in such terrifying heat. Using their high-speed reproduction ability, she had built a huge planet-wide plant system. It was said that in two weeks, the entire Black Egg Planet would be covered by an unprecedentedly huge vine. If successful, it would become another powerful weapon to destroy the Zerg race. This thing had more vitality than the Zerg race, and the only nourishment they needed to survive, other than magma, was — the flesh and blood of the Zerg race.
Planting such seeds on a purified insectoid planet could essentially eliminate the possibility of the insectoids reviving from the ashes, and at the same time, it could restore the devastated planet that was ravaged by the insectoids and the flames of war in an extremely short period of time.
What was even better was that after everything was settled, all Liliana had to do was give the order, and these plants would automatically go extinct. They could be called the best weapon in biological warfare.
Away from the surface, in low-Earth orbit, was our second layer of attack and defense system. The huge laser cannons and psionic storm obelisks mounted on the orbital platforms were like flies … err, anyway, they surrounded our planet layer by layer. These had been personally redesigned and modified by Bubble. The range and firing rate had been at least doubled. That potentially violent otaku's goal was that even if there was an Ultraman passing by half a light year away, we would be able to shoot it down from Black Egg Planet. As for this grand ambition … I would not comment.
The establishment of our planet's defense system was carried out in an intense and orderly manner. However, we did not expect the enemy to appear so suddenly. Even before one-third of our ground anti-air firepower network was completed, those guys had already entered the alert zone.
What we did not expect was an overwhelming swarm of Zerg …
I should have known that Mengsk was an expert in using others to do his dirty work. However, the device he used to summon the Zerg should have been destroyed by now. The Zerg race was now under the control of the Queen of Blades. How did Mengsk summon this swarm of Zerg? Or could it be that our extermination of the Zerg race on Black Egg Planet had already triggered a counterattack from these war creatures, and their arrival had nothing to do with Mengsk?
"Where did they come from?"
Looking at the dense red dots on the radar, which made my scalp go numb, and imagining the scene of a swarm of slimy insects, reptiles, worms, arthropods … Urgh … My sister, who had always hated Zerg, turned green in the face. She squeezed my wrist tightly as she muttered in a low voice full of resentment.
If these things were really summoned, then Mengsk bacteria, you're really out of luck.
Sighing silently in my heart, I tapped on the information screen in front of me, and a complicated star map immediately appeared on it.
"They should have come from here, hidden behind an asteroid belt. There's a dim star here, and gravitational measurements show that there might be a planet three times the mass of Earth here. The Zerg came from here, and their speed is really ridiculous. They could actually rush over here in such a short time with just their physical strength. Is helium-3 flowing in their veins?"
"Even if we don't count those cannon fodder Zerg, there are at least a hundred million of them." Sandora's tone was filled with undisguised surprise. "Their numbers are insane. No wonder they could occupy so many planets without any technological civilization. Most civilizations are no match for them just by relying on the Zerg Swarm tactic." Sieves frowned.
It seemed that he was troubled by the sudden attack of a hundred million Zerg. "These enemies will enter our anti-air warning zone in three days, but the latest batch of rail cannons of the Imperial Army will only be ready in four days. Our foundation on this planet is too shallow, and we don't even have a complete defense system. If we can't even cover the entire planet with the rail cannons, the shield fleet will be under immense pressure against a hundred million Zerg swarm."
"You want us to fight for a day out of three days?" Shallow Shallow finally found a place where she could help, or rather, get involved. She immediately came over with a chuckle. "Leave it to me. Those Zerg are far enough away from us, and there's a lot of buffer time. I can slowly speed up the flow of time on this planet, and slow down the Zerg's timeline. It won't be a problem to squeeze out a day out of three days!"
I really didn't expect Shallow Shallow's strength to be so powerful. She could even affect the flow of time on the entire planet to a certain extent.
Sandora stood up and turned to look at the Empire commanders who were giving out orders in the control hall. She ordered methodically, "Now that we have the initiative in time, the planet will enter a state of war. All psionic reactors will enter full power output, and defense units will ascend to outer orbit defense platforms. The shield fleet will position themselves outside the atmosphere, and establish a temporary planetary barrier. The enemy is huge, but the Imperial Army will definitely win!"
