Chapter 289 Extermination Order

   There is nowhere for the weak-willed and the indecisive to hide, and only quick action and strong conviction can keep humanity alive. No sacrifice is too great, no betrayal too small.

  ——The Inquisition Dogma Book, Chapter XXVIII "Decree of Extermination"

  Sitting on the chair, Duanmu Huai was fiddling with a small obsidian box in his hand. It looked unpretentious, with a pattern of the Inquisition and a motto printed on it. Seems to be just a tiny, go-anywhere chop.

   However, many times, the problem is not the thing itself, but the value it represents.

  Just like in many games, the things that NPCs use cautiously in the background settings are basically cabbages that can be used casually for players.

   The same goes for extermination orders.

  In the game, it has almost become a habit for players to use the Extinction Order, just like playing a fighting game after a set of combos and putting on a big move. This is not because the player has fallen into heresy, but simply—the background of the times is different.

  In the era of the human empire, humans occupied almost the entire galaxy, every planet was the property of the holy Terra, and every soul belonged to the emperor. The biggest enemy that the Inquisition has to face is the chaos and heretical rebellion within the empire. Under such circumstances, they must be cautious when using the extermination order.

   But things are completely different now.

  The development of human beings is almost equivalent to starting from scratch. A large number of aliens have occupied the interstellar space. They even built a huge fleet and launched ruthless and cruel attacks on humans. During the time of the human empire, it may be difficult to find large galaxies where aliens gather, but now, such galaxies abound.

  Using extinction orders on these planets has no psychological pressure on the players. Even in the game, what many players like to do most is to lead the fleet to directly kill the opponent's home planet through various methods, and then throw an extinction order over to play a beheading attack. Wait until the opponent's home star is extinct, and then go down and clean up those alien legions whose morale has plummeted.

   Brutal, ruthless, efficient.

   This is the Inquisition.

  But now, Duanmuhuai wants to go one step further.

  He picked up the seal in his hand, and heavily covered the parchment in front of him.

"Because of the ruthless killing of human beings by the aliens, there is no need for them to exist. Therefore, in the name of the judge, I am here to issue the No. 1 extinction order against the Urs galaxy of the Star Alliance. Let these aliens feel the ruthlessness of the court wrath, and repent in ruin."

   Duanmu Huai raised his head, and then gave an order.

   "Sent out the Wanyi giant ship."

Standing on the deck, looking at the burning stars in front of him, Commander Hood remained silent. In the end, he accepted Duan Muhuai's invitation and brought a team of senior officers to the flagship of the Inquisition Court. On the one hand, this was to show friendship On the other hand, they were also very curious about what method the Inquisition would use to destroy the Star Alliance.

   But now, they were extremely shocked.

  The reason is very simple, that is the way the Inquisition fleet moves elusively.

  Whether it is the UNSC or the Star Alliance, more than half of their technology comes from the remains of the pioneers of archaeological excavations, so their technology trees are actually very similar. It's just that the Star Alliance started earlier, so they ordered more, while humans started later, so they ordered less.

  But both sides are using super-light speed engines for space travel, so some kind of spatial fluctuations will inevitably occur. As long as you can grasp this spatial fluctuation, you can lock the opponent's appearance position. This is also the reason why the Star Alliance fleet was discovered by the Earth's defense network when it arrived on Earth. Similarly, if human beings want to go deep into the Covenant to launch an attack, they will be captured by the Covenant in similar ways.

   However, the Inquisition ships appear to employ some sort of entirely different means of movement.

  They appear like ghosts, and the surveillance network of the Star Alliance can't capture the Inquisition's fleet at all, so that they have even penetrated deep into the Urs galaxy!

   This is not an ordinary star system of the Star Alliance, this is the hometown of elites, one of the high-level races of the Star Alliance!

   There are five galaxies occupied by the Star Alliance.

These include the Hawthorne galaxy where the high-level prophet family of the Star Alliance is located, and the Urs galaxy where the elite family that represents the absolute force of the Star Alliance is located. The Asian-Americans and the Udeo galaxy where Jackals live. As well as the Domsak galaxy where the Brutes live, and the Balao galaxy, the home of the wild boars.

  Among them, the Hawthorne galaxy is naturally the well-deserved core area of ​​the Star Alliance, and its importance is equivalent to the human solar system. However, the importance of the Urs galaxy is not weak either. After all, there is an elite family in command of the armed forces of the Star Alliance, and their military tactics and accomplishments are naturally self-evident.

  UNSC and the Star Alliance have been fighting fiercely for so long, so they naturally know how powerful these elites are.

   It can be said that the Urs galaxy is equivalent to the "military base" of the Covenant. If it can be destroyed, it will be enough to greatly damage the combat effectiveness of the Covenant.

   Not only that, but the decline of the elite family that controls the power of the Covenant Army will also cause turmoil and chaos within the Covenant.

   After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

  Aliens are the same.

   It's just that Commander Hood still doesn't understand how the trial court plans to act. You must know that the Urs galaxy is the base camp of the elite family, and of course, there are a large number of fleets stationed here. Humans and the Covenant have ways to destroy a planet. They can burn it down by using space battleships to emit high-energy beams to the ground—commonly known as burning glass.

  But whether it is for the Covenant or the UNSC, this is a very time-consuming method. Even the Star Alliance needs several warships to attack the planet at the same time, and it will take a certain amount of time to do so. This is okay on remote planets, but in this crisis-ridden Urs galaxy, what is the trial court going to do?

   "Beep-beep-beep-!"

   While Commander Hood was thinking, suddenly, the siren sounded, and then, Miana’s leisurely voice sounded like a tourist guide introducing the scenery.

   "Please pay attention~~~The trial court is about to issue an extinction order~~~Please pay attention~~~"

   "Extermination order?"

Hearing this, Commander Hood immediately lifted his spirits, and the senior generals around him also looked away from looking at the surrounding decorations. Immediately afterwards, they saw a huge battleship suddenly appearing not far from the window. Docked next to the stars of the Urs galaxy.

   This is a long and narrow "I"-shaped battleship, which looks even bigger than a human space station. Right now, this battleship is docked at the edge of the star. Afterwards, Commander Hood and his team saw a beam of light burst out from the core of the center of the battleship and directly injected into the interior of the star!

   "My God! They're going to do that!"

  Seeing this, a senior general was stunned and screamed!

   "What's wrong? Do you know what they're doing??"

  Looking at the general beside him, Commander Hood asked, but the general was pale and gasped, before speaking.

   "Report sir, if I'm not mistaken, the Tribunal is... intending to detonate the stars and completely wipe out the entire Urs galaxy!"

"What?"

  Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

   "Can this be done?"

   "In theory... there is no problem, as long as there is a strong enough energy supply... But we don't have it, and I'm afraid the Star Alliance can't do it either!"

  In fact, as this senior general said, it is not difficult to detonate a star, as long as there is enough energy.

   Well, the problem is this enough energy.

  Even the original builders of the Wanyi giant ship, the Kabar tribe, did not solve the energy problem. At that time, if their Wanyi giant ship wanted to start, it had to destroy a nearby planet, then extract the energy from it, and inject it into the star to detonate the star.

  But Duanmuhuai doesn’t need to be so troublesome. The ancient sage’s reactor is so terrifying, one is not enough to pile up two, and two is not enough to pile up four. Is this also a problem?

  If you install a motorcycle engine on a bicycle, it can also run at the speed of a motorcycle.

  Of course, whether it can support it is another matter.

   Just when everyone was stunned, their minds went blank, and they didn't know how to respond, Duanmu Huai had silently connected to the missionary network of the Star Alliance.

"Aliens, this is your last moment of existence. As the price of threatening humanity, you will be completely destroyed in the wrath of the Inquisition. Your souls will never escape the purgatory fires of the Inquisition until the final destruction and perdition The day of your end...Repent, this is your end."

   After saying this, Duanmu Huai shut down the communication and gave an order.

   "Prepare to evacuate."

   "It is detected that the interior of the star has reached a critical point, and it is ready to evacuate."

  The next moment, the heavy deck slowly fell, completely isolating everyone's vision. Immediately afterwards, the Judgment Court fleet disappeared into the starry sky without a sound.

   At this time, the Star Alliance fleet assembled by the army arrived in a hurry, but...it was too late.

  The star, at this moment, erupted with hot, shining brilliance, and then exploded completely.

The brilliant, golden radiance turned into a huge shock wave, spreading in all directions. All the planets along the way were completely destroyed in this star explosion like destroyed stones. Their atmospheres were evaporated, the mantle ruptured, and the entire planet followed. In this way, it fell apart and became dust in the universe. As for those Covenant fleets, they also failed to escape the explosion range of the star. Before they even had time to react, they were directly swallowed by the brilliant light—they completely disappeared in the dazzling, scorching, pure white light.

   Just like that, the second largest galaxy of the Star Alliance—the Urs Galaxy, was completely destroyed.
