There was such a phrase in the world: melodramatic.
It referred to all the cliched plots, connections, causes, results, characters, time, and locations that had been overused from the beginning to the end. Yet, there were people who were still using them tirelessly. You could almost guess how many people had died at the end just by listening to the opening song. It was definitely one of the most worthless things that humans had ever created. They took up a lot of your brain bandwidth, and in the end, all you got was a cast list …
But sometimes, you had to admit that melodramatic things could really happen.
The famous Queen, the Queen who was known as the motherly model of the world, the Queen who wore black leather whip and tights … Ahem, that last one doesn't count. All in all, Her Majesty the Queen had foolishly come to meet a group of unknown troops from another world. She had foolishly been ambushed less than two hundred million kilometers away from the border of her kingdom. She had foolishly been besieged and waited for us to rescue her. Why did this plot feel so familiar? "This is the Oblique Star Belt.
It is not too far from the asteroid belt where we fought with the pirates last time, but it is located behind the heavy element cloud. "On the Light of Aiur, Reynolds was poking at an obtuse triangle asteroid belt on the star map with a laser whip." There are a lot of metal core asteroids here. They are huge in size, and many of these asteroids can block the radar system of a battleship to a certain extent. It is a good place for an ambush. However, to ambush the entire Queen's fleet, the military force required is definitely not something a mere asteroid belt can hide. I can only say that Her Majesty the Queen is really unlucky. "
Ahem, not to criticize you, but your Kerrigan and my Sandora are both queen-like creatures. You are being kind to yourself, uncle. "We are now in a low-level stealth state at sub-light speed.
We will be approaching the battle zone in about an hour. If everything goes smoothly, Jayne's army will prepare a mass attack from another direction at the same time. It will be the super weapon that exploded the entire battlefield last time. However, they will only be used at the very end. So, we should end the battle quickly. Our main goal is to rescue the Queen's flagship. Most of the soldiers are gathered there. If the remaining battleships cannot be rescued, they will be used as fuel to detonate the entire sky. "
"In other words, the soldiers in the battleships have been abandoned?"
I raised my eyebrows, surprised that Jayne would make such a decision.
"Of course not." Renault shrugged. "Those battleships are unmanned, autonomous intelligent spaceships. They are the most powerful fleet in the Kingdom of Freedom, and they are more cunning and ferocious than the ones controlled by humans. But now, Jayne has received orders from their queen, and she would rather destroy those battleships than let the enemy get their hands on those artificial intelligence technology."
"… F * ck, it's this world's damned technological stratification again."
The strongest fleet of the Free Kingdom was actually an unmanned high-tech warship, and its combat power was even greater than that of a human. Wasn't this thing a little too savage? The country's regular army had an appalling gap in equipment from top to bottom. It gave me the impression that the queen was surrounded by Gundams and the local armed forces were armed with dung forks.
Other than the superweapon that needed two hours to catch its breath after firing a shot, the rest of the Zeon Army was a pile of sh * t. (That's right, it was Ol 'Handsome's flagship, the egg-shaped spaceship that watched innocently from the sidelines during the battle. Its ten-kilometer-long belly was a mass-energy effect generator.)
"High-energy explosion detected ahead. Determined to be an attack … not an attack. Maintain course. Increase alert level."
The Light of Aiur's AI suddenly spoke while we were discussing Gundams and dung forks, and I was stunned on the spot.
"What the f * ck! Deactivate invisibility and accelerate! That unlucky queen better not die just like that, I still need you to reimburse me for the fuel I used to come here! "
The huge energy explosion just now was undoubtedly caused by the battle. If the queen's fleet "Glory of Victory" had used a superweapon, it meant that they were on the brink of death. If the enemy had used a superweapon, then we would have to prepare to clean up the mess. Of course, with such a melodramatic queen, I was afraid that she would come up with an even more melodramatic plot: self-destruct her flagship.
"Listen, Jayne, we are accelerating, and your queen might not be able to hold on any longer. Hurry over, that's all!"
I hung up the communication with Jayne, and the Federation's fleet began to close in on the speed of light. The interior of the spaceship activated a dimensional barrier, and in an instant, the image of the exterior was only left with a red light channel.
"Ha, it's finally my turn to show off my skills! Let those lowly commoners see how powerful the oldest human king is! "
"Jill, don't give me any more trouble later!" I grabbed the neck of a certain dazzling golden girl and threw her back to her seat. There was probably no one in history who dared to treat the oldest human queen like this. If this had happened in the past, Yan Feng Qili would probably have been beaten up by the proud Gilgamesh if he had gone the slightest bit overboard (I firmly believe that a feminine hero king is scarier than a masculine version, because women can basically find a reason to do things that men can't). However, the devil-like Little Bubble (from Jill's perspective) had already undergone fruitful training on the golden pickup truck. When I threw her out, she didn't dare to resist at all other than calling out "lowly commoner".
"This time, I sent you heroic spirits to the battlefield so that you can familiarize yourselves with the war in this high-tech world and accumulate experience to protect the Crystal Virgin. Jill, if you want to have fun, I will call Little Bubble over!"
In an instant, the brightness of this flat-chested girl who was emitting golden light dropped by another six to seven percent.
Little Bubble's remaining might had already broken through the crystal barrier.
"Chen, I have a strange feeling."
Right after I threw Jill away, another Knight King came over. The ahoge on Artoria's head spun in midair as though it had a power source, attracting my gaze. "Our enemy, perhaps … Please don't look at this hair that symbolizes victory so rudely!"
… My king, are you so bored that you would confer nobility on your own hair?
"Indeed, I also feel a little strange." This time, it was Medusa who spoke. The voluptuous female knight maintained a distance of more than three meters from Pandora and her sister. She carefully inched closer and said in a low voice with a serious expression, "The crystal energy in our body is fluctuating … Please believe in our instincts. Although our strength may not be comparable to yours, as the guardians of the God of the world, we have very sharp instincts towards many things. Please …"
"Engine acceleration has stopped. Entering the normal timeline."
The AI interrupted the heroic spirit girl's report. I waved my hand forcefully and coughed. I gestured to the group of heroes and emperors, who were obviously not in the right state of mind, as well as my sister and Qian Qian, who seemed to be even more out of it, to snap out of their stupor. "Comrades! We're arriving at the battlefield! I don't have to explain to the professional soldiers of the Federation, but I'm really worried about you heroic spirits. This is your first time facing a space battleship. Even as the guardians of the world, you might not be able to face it head-on. Do you still remember your goal for participating in this war? "
Before I could finish speaking, the idiot Jill, who was glowing like a moving gold brick, jumped out. "To steal money, steal treasures, and steal territory!"
That's how you got most of your wealth, right?
"Victory and glory!" Artoria's expression was stern. Ahoge instantly stood up straight like a soldier. Why don't you say blood and thunder?
"For next month's evaluation!" This was Demetrius.
"For the month-end bonus!" This was Cuchulin.
"For a certain black-hearted boss to let us bitter heroic spirits rest for two days." Which bastard was this?
"For the two hundred bucks bet with Caesar!" I didn't recognize this guy at all …
Before I could laugh out loud, she added, "And level up?"
"You bunch … Forget it, as long as you have motivation. After this mission, everyone will have a holiday — except for you, Jill! If you're not satisfied, go and discuss it with your master! "
You're already treated like a little princess of the Empire. Why are you still not satisfied?
"Tsk, you're looking down on us. We are now the guardians of the world, the super heroic spirits of the True Gods. We aren't any worse than the spaceship you speak of …" After being reprimanded by me, Jill could only mumble and go to the side to draw circles.
Then, how should I put it? The reason why accidents are called accidents is because when they happen, you're always doing something that gives you a sense of accomplishment. For example, teaching a bunch of ancient heroes, or teaching a bunch of ancient emperors, or teaching two of them at the same time. Just as I was enjoying the thrill of encouraging a bunch of emperors to raid and pillage, an unprecedentedly strong flash of light suddenly streaked across the sky, illuminating the land under the Light of Aire's energy barrier. At the same time, the command hall was blanketed in white.
Then, an ear-piercing screech of energy came from beyond the energy barrier, reverberating throughout the entire space fortress.
A piercing air defense alarm instantly rang throughout the entire fleet.
"Warning, the flagship is suffering from the highest level of psionic attack, energy level … The cannon of the Empire's main battleship. The threat level is extremely high, the stability of the shield has decreased … The shield has stabilized, all reactors are running at full power, all components are beginning to inject psionic energy …"
Everyone stared blankly at the flash of light on the holographic projection that hadn't dissipated yet. After a few seconds, I reacted, "Damn, that's the main cannon of the Galaxy! We are being blasted by the Empire's battleship!! "
Renault immediately stood up from his seat and anxiously ordered, "Everyone, get into position! Connect the psionic module of the battleship online! Small-sized fighter jets enter their respective motherships, shield output at full power. We are suffering from the attack of the Empire's weapons. I repeat, we are suffering from the attack of the Empire's weapons! "
"Adjust the psionic shield of the battleship to E + 105 energy level," Visca unceremoniously threw a Proteus warrior who was operating the defense system seven to eight meters away, knocking on the control crystal panel. "Adjust the shield of all battleships to E + 105 energy level, this can temporarily interfere with the Empire's beyond-visual-range enemy radar … Tsk, this kind of operating system is really slow, troublesome, and crude … You guys have such advanced technological data from the Empire, can't you guys research more?!"
"Alright." I knocked on the head of the cat-eyed loli who was in an irascible state and pulled her back from the control panel. You aren't even half as tall as a Proteus warrior, can you not lecture me in such an irascible manner?
Just as we were in a hurry to respond, the second attack from the front had already arrived. A distorted space tunnel suddenly appeared tens of kilometers away from the fleet. Then, a shockingly compressed pure psionic energy surged out like a dazzling bright white torrent of the Galaxy, sweeping across the entire Federation fleet. The attack just now was too sudden, but this time, I could see it clearly. It was the main cannon of the Galaxy, and a fully charged one at that!
Super Space Strike, Galaxy Main Cannon, psionic energy jet. If it wasn't the battleship of the Empire, I would have jumped into the reactor!
"Warning, the highest level of psionic energy and Super Space Strike detected. Unavoidable … The main body of the battleship is under attack. The shield successfully resisted. The damage to the battleship is zero. Artificial intelligence suggestion: Please leave this area immediately …"
The Federation fleet was completely unharmed after being hit by the main cannon of the Galaxy for the second time. This was a miracle for the Federation battleships that were once swept by a single Empire spaceship. From a certain point of view, this was a victory for the technology of the Empire. The Schilling technology had strengthened these Federation spaceships once again. Even though they were a grade lower, these spaceships could still be considered as half products of Schilling technology. Facing the powerful Empire's cannons, even though they were slightly weaker, the Federation warships weren't that weak.
However, they weren't that strong either.
"Change the course! Maintain the shield and continue to move forward along the curve! For Aier!! "
The fire control device of the main cannon of the Galaxy possessed the ability to Super Space Strike. It was impossible to escape from its range just by relying on the maneuvering of the spaceships. Zeratul didn't choose the escape suggestion that the Artificial Intelligence suggested. Instead, he resolutely announced to advance at full speed.
He was confident in the group of leader-level Apostles and the group of Heroic Spirits on the spaceship, whose battle prowess wasn't any weaker than a battleship.
However, I was filled with confusion.
The fleet of the Empire? The fleet of the Empire suddenly attacked us? Where did the fleet of the Empire come from in this universe?
The first thought that popped into my mind was of course a certain black-hearted fake loli. That lass Pope, who didn't know right from wrong and acted first before reporting, really seemed like someone who would do such a thing. However, I immediately rejected this conjecture. The moment the Super Space Strike started, the observation device of the main cannon of the Galaxy could clearly scan the form of the target. There was no reason for Liliana to fire a second shot after noticing that it was us. Then, the possibility would be …
The Fallen Apostle …
That bunch of lingering fellows! They never knew when to jump out. I was here to retrieve my sister, not to … Hmm? That doesn't seem right. The Galaxy Strike just now didn't have any aura of Abyss energy. That was pure psionic energy. I definitely wouldn't be wrong about this. The other party isn't the Abyss!
A shocking conjecture suddenly popped into my mind.
Could it be that we are going to meet another Empire Army in this world!? Another Empire power that hasn't gone into hibernation yet!?
At this moment, I was extremely excited. Then, I instantly became worried. What if I were to pick up another Queen this time? Would I be eaten alive?
The unreliable thoughts that flashed through my mind in a second took up half of the page. However, the third Galaxy Strike didn't come. Visca's suggestion was right. She had indeed discovered a psionic frequency that could interfere with the radar of the mothership.
"I also have some knowledge that the idiot sister doesn't know!" When the alarm of the Light of Aire gradually subsided, the cat-eyed loli immediately puffed out her curvy chest proudly, proudly expressing her superiority.
"Yes, yes, yes. My precious sister is one of a kind." I already knew how to make this lass completely satisfied. I didn't hesitate to praise her. Rubbing her head, I turned to Zeratul. "Where are we now?"
"We deviated from our target, but we have still successfully entered the edge of the battlefield." Zeratul's deep voice had a reassuring sense of reliability. He corrected a few parameters on the star map before zooming in on a series of images from the beyond-visual-range probe. "There is a large amount of energy reaction in front of us. It is definitely a battle zone. Should we head over?"
"The battlefield is still 770,000 kilometers away from here. For the Galaxy Main Cannon, we have already entered their direct firing range. Visca, to what extent can this interference reach?"
"At most, we can advance another 300,000 kilometers. The Eternal Battleship's mainframe won't be fooled so easily."
"Advance at cruising speed. Transfer to the Empire Admiral's communication tower and get them to help me search for the communication frequency of the Empire fleet ahead. Hopefully, their distance from here won't affect the decryption of the signal."
As I spoke, my gaze never left the screen in front of me. On it was the image sent back by the few Hyperspace Probes that had just warped out.
In the vast space filled with shattered asteroids, two fleets were engaged in a fierce battle.
The most eye-catching was the massive Queen's Fleet. This fleet was completely different from the Zeon Army I had seen before. Their equipment was uniform and neatly arranged. It was obvious that they were products of the same technological system. These spaceships had the same streamlined and slender style. They were silver-white in color, with a blue three-leaf clover symbol etched on the bow. They were divided into three distinct classes. The smallest one was a few dozen meters long. They were agile and agile ambushers. They were shaped like spears and moved extremely fast. I couldn't tell what type of power they had. Then there were more than a thousand two-kilometer-long "big-headed warships". These spaceships were like elongated water droplets. Their entire bodies reflected a silver-white luster. There were no cannons or propulsion systems on their seamless surface. It was as if they were made of mercury. The weapons they used should be some kind of field effect. All sorts of energy radiated from the front of the spaceships, constantly destroying the enemy's attacks. Instead of saying these were main battleships, it would be more accurate to say that these spaceships relied on agile spaceships to attack. They were giant frigates that specialized in defense. There was only one spaceship in the third class, and that was the flagship that was protected by the entire fleet.
It was too obvious. Anyone could tell that the shell-like, thirty-kilometer-long mothership was the flagship of this fleet. Not mentioning its size and status as the moon that was surrounded by stars, just looking at the large words on its surface that could be as wide as half a kilometer was enough to explain the problem.
"The Queen's Flagship."
…
Was the Queen of the Free Kingdom of Gotark really a natural airhead!? You must hate yourself for not dying!
I was ruthlessly shocked by this fleet that looked mighty but was full of flaws to complain about. I had to face the terrible situation where they were on the verge of defeat. They were hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the mercury-droplet frigates. The enemy was far stronger than them, even though the latter only outnumbered the former by a third.
An Empire fleet, more than two hundred enormous Eternal-class motherships, and countless ambushers …
