The new reinforcements immediately reversed the stalemate of the battle. The battleships that could serve as the main force near the flagship of the Galactic Coalition Army were all the ace spaceships that were specially modified by Tawil and her research team under the supervision of Bubble. The captains and officers had also gone through layers of selection. The combat power of each of these battleships was almost equivalent to three to four times that of a battleship of the same level, and the experience of the battleship commander was a rare and valuable asset.
These fresh troops directly charged into the battle from the flank of Tadalim. After a round of saturated fire, they entered anti-phase mode. They used their advantage in mobility to hide against the overwhelming counterattack fire, shift, and circle behind the enemy's carrier to continue saturated fire. Those well-trained commanders accurately calculated the cooldown time of various auxiliary equipment and main cannons to the millisecond level. They even included the average firing time of the enemy into the fleet's maneuvering program, allowing these huge battleships to miraculously carry out "guerrilla warfare" on this kind of frontal battlefield. The Tadalim commander even had the illusion that he was already surrounded. Facing the Empire elites who used dirty tactics to shoot from the back of their main force, the Tadalim fleet, who were used to using frontal assault tactics, seemed to be struggling.
Without a doubt, the chief commander of this fleet was Sicarro. Did you notice that their tactics were completely copied from their experience against the Town Security?
"It feels like a blood-boiling scene!"
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she stared unblinkingly at the holographic projection of a space war that was countless times more spectacular than the grandest sci-fi movie. Her small hands tightly gripped my sleeves, and her face was filled with the surprise and excitement of a little girl when faced with something new. She was probably watching this as if it was a movie...
"It is indeed spectacular." Liliana glanced at Tears, and her eyes subconsciously stopped on the hand that was grabbing my sleeve tightly. "But every spark there means countless lives turning into ashes. Someone like you who grew up in a greenhouse won't understand the cruelty of war … Ah, it hurts! You're abusing your employees! "
She wouldn't know what to do if I didn't teach her a lesson.
However, although the scale of victory was undoubtedly tilting towards our side, I still felt that something was wrong. Although the Tadalim were crazy, they shouldn't be idiots, right?
For the sake of a mineral planet, was it really necessary to defend it at several times the cost? Furthermore, even after our reinforcements were in place, the other party still had no intention of retreating. Knowing that resistance was futile, they still didn't preserve their strength. Could it be that a highly rational race like the Proteus would also have the so-called "madness under despair"?
Just as I couldn't get rid of the doubts in my mind and was only getting stronger, the Admiral of the Empire's mainframe suddenly issued an urgent alarm, interrupting my thoughts.
"Warning, a large-scale gravitational collapse has been detected behind the array. An unknown substance is entering the Prime Material Plane. I repeat, detected behind the array …"
I raised my head in shock and understood something in a flash.
"Activate the gravity trap!"
"Activating Gravity Trap … Current space has been sealed …"
The voice of the flagship mainframe sounded three seconds later, but it seemed to be a step too late.
In the empty space, several vast regions fluctuated violently. There, light abruptly distorted into a translucent smoke before vanishing. It was a spatial distortion caused by an attacker exploding in the dimensional tunnel due to the gravity trap. But through our detection, more mass had broken through the spatial blockade and surrounded our fleet from all directions.
Luring the tiger away from the mountain? Or diverting our attention to create the conditions for a sneak attack?
These conjectures flashed across my mind. There was only one thing that was without a doubt. We had been ambushed, and it was probably the largest ambush since the start of this inexplicable war. Abnormal mass had filled the area within a radius of several million kilometers around the Empire's main fleet. There was even a weak gravitational disturbance tens of millions of kilometers away. The number of the enemy was unknown, but it was definitely shocking.
A violent flash flashed across a holographic projection below the bridge. One of our peripheral cruisers had been attacked from an unknown source. Its psionic shield flickered violently a few times before it was shattered into pieces by an even more shocking energy beam.
"The main fleet is under attack. Enter combat mode …" Bubble, who was in the central engine room, directly took over the flagship mainframe and unceremoniously kicked the unlucky computer that had been doing nothing since the beginning into the server queue. "My child's father! It seems like we've been fooled! "
"I know!" I was already used to a certain otaku girl calling me that regardless of the situation or the atmosphere, so I was too lazy to complain. I just replied gloomily, "I didn't expect that after so many days, they would still choose to attack our main fleet … Sandora really guessed it right."
That's right, Sandora guessed it right. I had to say that this girl's talent in war was like a demon's. After the three-race coalition failed to attack the main fleet of the Empire several times and turned into a turtle shell, she predicted that the other party would definitely gather a large number of troops to attack our main fleet again in a few days. In order to bring this day to an earlier end and end this inexplicable situation, we let the 'Empire Admiral' and its escorts hover carelessly in the most open area of the Keplu Star Zone, the Eastern Sky, completely putting on a fearless appearance. At first, I wondered if the other party had the courage to challenge the most powerful Royal Guards of the Empire again, but now … Alright, Sandora, you win. I will wash the dishes tonight. Anyway, the only result of letting you wash the dishes is a small handful of porcelain powder left after grinding your teeth.
The enemy was obviously covered by some kind of energy field, causing our conventional observation methods to be unable to detect the other party. This technology was very advanced, at least it wasn't the kind of optical invisibility that could be seen at a glance with Schilling technology. We obtained the energy frequency that they used to interfere with the Proteus Mother Ship from the starship fleet in the crossfire, and then launched it. Sure enough, several huge disc-shaped warships emerged from our monitor. Just as Zeratul said, the Proteus Mother Ship itself also had the ability of invisibility.
If it wasn't for Zeratul, I'm afraid that we would really suffer in this aspect. The Proteus Mother Ship had not appeared on the battlefield for almost hundreds of years. Except for the real Proteus people, very few people knew what kind of performance this ultimate warship had.
These huge disc-shaped warships were so close to us, and the energy crystals at the bottom were gradually lighting up. However, I didn't think that they were preparing to attack. With the existence of the energy plundering device, any warship that used energy attacks to attack us first would be seeking death.
Little Bubbles became excited once more as his tiny body wriggled restlessly in my arms. Compared to those "shiny plates" that seemed rather stingy due to the long distance, these gigantic crystal clusters obviously made Little Bubbles, who had the hidden attribute of a giant dragon, indescribably excited.
Zeratul couldn't help but let out a long sigh as he watched the empire's most beloved princess develop an even greater interest in those "sacred spaceships".
He thought about how the arrogant Proteus, who had always thought that he was the number one in the universe, was now treated as a toy by such a powerful civilization. Even his most powerful warship was about to become a toy for a little girl. Uncle Z took another deep breath and sighed. In the past two days, he had almost sighed his entire life's worth of resentment.
After slightly adjusting the frequency of the energy interference, we fully released the interference waves. Immediately, the blurry enemies finally revealed themselves from their spatial concealment. Their appearance made my mouth drop open in shock.
… This is really … a spectacular allied army …
Human battlecruisers, Viking fighters, Independent Federation heavy frigates, insectoid Mutalisks, infected, giant mutated Mutalisks, and even large clumps of disgusting squirming organs with suspicious functions (I think their attack method is to disgust people to death). There were also Protos-style Phoenix fighters, Curved Light Warships, Aircraft Carriers, Polygonal frigates …
Basically, all the aerial units that the three major races in this sector could muster were gathered here.
"Shhhh —" I whistled loudly and patted the heads of the Gakuen Metropolis tour group, who suddenly panicked at such a scene. "Girls, it's not too late for you to go back. The Empire Admiral's teleportation system is ready. Otherwise, you won't be able to escape. The final battle is about to begin."
The few girls quickly exchanged glances. Even though they looked panicked, to my surprise, none of them retreated. Tears welled up in their eyes as they tugged on my sleeves tightly and said with determination, "I want to be with my brother! I believe that my brother's army will not lose! "
"Also, all of you look so calm." Shirai Kuroko directly exposed me. "All of you must be more capable, right?"
Tsk, this perverted twintail yuri! Would it kill you to speak one less sentence?
I suddenly felt that it was a little ridiculous. The enemy was the allied forces of the three races, and our subordinates were from various worlds. Their composition was even more complicated. Armies from various worlds and races were entangled together. Their origins even spanned across all civilizations from feudal civilizations to universal civilizations. At first, I thought that I was the savior of the world. But now, I felt like I was the leader of a gang that led a bunch of gangsters to smash someone else's place, causing the locals to unite and retaliate …
The battle had already begun. The huge fleet of the Empire changed its formation with amazing efficiency, blocking the disgusting Zerg units that were trying to use the advantage of distance to charge at us. The deadly Chaos Psionic Shield was blocked. These guys that suddenly rushed to our side with the help of Proteus' space technology did indeed cause a few assault ships that could not react in time to be buried in the sea of Zerg. But that was also their only achievement. Immediately after that, the mage troops reacted under the command of the Ravens and hid in their respective motherships and launched a joint formation. Giant arcane novas began to bloom all over the universe. Let me tell you, even if Antonidas came personally, he would not be able to release such large arcane novas!
Several of Proteus' Holy Motherships had also completed the charging of those giant crystals. Just as I expected, they were not launching an attack but summoning an army. Groups of human battlecruisers appeared in the dark starry sky under the brilliance of the Holy Motherships.
"What's going on? Haven't we already sealed the space? "
Sandora frowned and asked the adjutant next to her.
"Analyzing the data … The space is stable, ruling out the possibility of hyperspace teleportation. According to the data sent back by the 37th starship fleet, these Holy Motherships have been installed with a large number of special modules. It seems to be the space storage device of the Proteus warp prism. With the huge energy field of the Holy Motherships, they have weakened the effect of the gravitational trap to a certain extent and forcibly released these spaceships hidden in the alternate dimension!"
Uh … it seemed that this was a common tactic used by the Schilling people to store troops. I did not expect the technology of the Proteus to have reached this level. Although they were not as overpowered as us, where every soldier could carry an alternate dimension with them, their technological strength was impressive.
As the battle continued, I gradually discovered something. It seemed that the main forces attacking our main fleet this time were the humans and the Zerg. The number of "Protoss" warships was less than one-tenth of the number of the former two. Except for the few Holy Motherships that served as the fleet's warehouse and flagship, all we could see were battlecruisers and giant flying dragons.
It seemed that their main forces were near Noral to attract our attention, and the real DPS here were the two remaining races. There was no doubt that they were using this method to fight against those terrifying energy plundering devices.
This was quite ironic. Due to the advanced technology of the Proteus, energy weapons had always been their most commonly used weapon. This powerful, accurate and reliable technology had always given them an advantage when fighting against the other two races in the Keplu Sector. But when the more powerful Schilling civilization came to this war-filled sector, their energy weapons became their most fatal weakness. Even the most insignificant laser cannon could cause the entire Holy Mothership to be buried in the gluttonous feast of Schilling energy plundering devices within ten seconds.
In comparison, the cannonballs of the humans and the saliva of the Zerg were much safer. Well, at least that was how it seemed.
Unsurprisingly, Pandora and Weska once again charged into the battlefield. In fact, watching the starship fleets destroy the mineral planets of the Keplu Sector without any technical content for the past few days had made these two little war maniacs with helium-3 flow in their veins extremely depressed. It was just that the allied forces of the three races had never had the guts to attack the Empire's First Army, which had the most terrifying combat power. As high-ranking officers of the Empire's army, these two little fellows also knew that it was not proper for them to single-handedly fight a bunch of mineral planets half a light-year away. That was why they could hold it in until now, but now it seemed …
They did not have to hold it in anymore …
The two little girls who suddenly appeared on the battlefield probably didn't attract the attention of the three species' allied armies at first. This spherical army, which covered a radius of tens of millions of kilometers, was still furiously attacking our medium-sized airships. These airships with powerful firepower and the ability to command small teams were the greatest threat to them. But very quickly, this mixed army discovered that the truly terrifying threat was often the most inconspicuous.
The two little girls, who were about three centimeters lower than the cannonball shells, waved their hands and summoned thousands of floating cannons the size of Viking fighters. Under the control of the monstrous fire control ability of the 'individual fortress' type apostle, these thousands of floating cannons took only a millisecond to penetrate a human battlecruiser formation in a spatial jump. It was as if iron sand was suddenly thrown out. Then, a dazzling firework with a radius of two hundred thousand kilometers bloomed in the cold darkness of the universe.
In the piercing fire and chain explosion, four hundred battlecruisers, a thousand heavy cruisers, and countless Viking fighters and Banshee bombers became history in a second.
This was the destructive power that Pandora and Visca could unleash in a real battle after all probing and toying were cast aside.
The two sisters' attack not only shocked the allied forces of the three races, it also attracted my attention. I noticed that there seemed to be a tacit understanding between them. Even though they usually quarreled and wrestled on the ground, on the battlefield, Pandora and Visca cooperated as if they were sharing a single soul. Four massive anti-ship psionic cannons were equipped on the two girls' arms, and under their exquisite cooperation, they could actually cover an enemy force that in theory needed an assault fleet to cover. Even more auxiliary weapons and their personal guards appeared on the battlefield, densely filling the space around them. Such a complex and tight formation should have been the greatest taboo in small scale mobile warfare, but they did not have the slightest scruple as they intertwined their armies and weapons together, forming a firepower formation that resembled a meat grinder. That's right, if it was two ordinary Empire generals, they could also achieve this if they completely exposed and fused their thought circuits, but the problem was that I noticed that Pandora and Visca did not have a mental connection at all. They did not communicate, but relied on instinct and intuition to cooperate to form such a situation!
"How long do we need to destroy these enemies?"
Sandora crossed her arms and asked as if she was talking about the weather. She did not mention the question of winning at all, because there was no doubt that the strength of the Empire's fleet was not something that these races that had just entered the early stages of interstellar civilization could defeat with sheer numbers. Perhaps Proteus' technological level was sufficient, but even with their help, it was still not enough.
"If the enemy does not continue to send reinforcements, the battle will probably last for about two days. Some of our elite warships have been transferred away from the battlefield, and the number of enemies is the only thing that we have a headache about," Seves replied.
Her voice had a strange metallic quality to it, and a pale blue light shone in the eyes of this calm aide-de-camp.
Although this powerful Storm Commander was standing on the bridge of the Empire's admiral, she had actually already entered the battle. Now, the entire Empire's fleet of tens of thousands of ships were shrouded in her halo, increasing their firing speed, defense, and accuracy. This effect may not be obvious on a single soldier, but when the combat power of the entire army was increased, the effect was unimaginable.
Because we had to face a large number of enemies, Seves had also activated the Storm Commander's most buggy attack enhancement skill: Legion Strike.
It was a heaven-defying ability that allowed your attack to damage multiple targets at the same time, and the principle seemed to be related to the macroscopic quantum effect. Anyway, the way it worked sounded like a heavenly book to me. Naturally, Pandora and Visca were the top DPS that had been focused on, so the enemies that were 'taken care of' by these two lunatics not only had to face terrifying attack power that could cause people to collapse, but also had to face supernatural events that could distort people's worldview …
The enemy in front of you might just fire a cannon at you, and the result would be the entire squad being wiped out. It would be meaningless no matter how far you spread your formation. God knows how a single beam of energy could blow holes in thirty to forty targets scattered all over the world at the same time!
