Chapter 568 Fighting

  Star Alliance Star Field, in front of the first sector defense line.

   "It's about time."

  General Kislev put down the cup in his hand, staring at the star map in front of him. According to the news from the Tribunal, just today, the Reaper fleet will arrive in the human star field.

   Putting down his cup, Kislev chuckled as he saw the pale face of the adjutant beside him.

   "What, are you nervous?"

   "Of course, Captain, that's the Reaper..."

  The adjutant swallowed, and nodded vigorously. Although they haven't encountered the Reapers until now, the images of the Turians and other races being attacked by the Reapers have also spread to thousands of households in the Star Alliance. They have also seen how those terrifying warships broke through The defense of the Citadel race easily destroyed the entire planet.

   Thinking that they will have to fight against such an enemy next, almost everyone feels a lot of pressure.

   "Don't worry, haven't we already prepared for this? And there is still a trial court."

  While speaking, Kislev looked at the fleet not far ahead. Looking from a distance, there were densely packed churches one after another, giving people the feeling of a city of churches in the universe. It has to be said that the warships of the Tribunal are really powerful. Even if the Star Alliance has prepared for the Reapers, the warships they can manufacture are only two kilometers long, and there is no way to compare with the Tribunal in terms of firepower-this is not true. The method, after all, the larger the warship is, the higher the demand for technology, and the Star Alliance currently does not have technology that is comparable to that of the Inquisition.

  To be honest, no matter how many times I watch it, I feel it is exaggerated.

  Looking at the resplendent battleships ahead, Kislev smiled helplessly. Although in the universe, there is no such thing as air resistance, it is not surprising to make a warship into any shape strictly speaking, but generally speaking, the volume of the warship is made as small and streamlined as possible. On the one hand, there is also the possibility of forced landing. On the one hand, if the hull is long and narrow, it is easier to pass through some asteroid groups.

  Of course, in terms of beauty, this magnificent Gothic-style church building is indeed beautiful enough.

   And in terms of firepower, it is also stronger than the battleships of myself and others.

  Well, as a companion, I really feel at ease.

"Report!"

   Just as Kislev was thinking about this, suddenly there was a hurried shout.

   "An unknown fleet has been detected and is heading towards our location! The number is 3,800!"

   "————!"

Hearing this, the air in the command room suddenly became tense, and Kislev frowned. Fortunately, the Star Alliance destroyed the mass repeater outside, making it impossible for the Reapers to pass through the mass repeater as they wished. To jump across the galaxy, you can only travel long distances-the advantage of this is that their position and direction can be locked, which is why the Starlink fleet will wait here.

   "Attention everyone, prepare to fight!"

   Kislev stared fixedly at the screen, and spoke. Immediately afterwards, in the depths of the universe shining with stars, countless black shadows seemed to emerge from the deep sea, quietly appearing in front of everyone like this - the brilliance of the stars shone on their metal shells , reflecting the brilliance of inorganic substances, the eyes shining with dark red brilliance shone like starlight in the darkness.

   Just looking at the dense shadows is enough to make people tremble. It's like seeing countless deep-sea monsters attacking you in a deep-sea submarine. Even Kislev, who had experienced many battles, couldn't help but froze at the moment—it was not that he had no experience in fighting aliens, but the monster in front of him was not even life at all. It's like a pile of moving metal, a dead object, lifelessly bringing everything into death...

   At the same time, the flames flickered.

  The Tribunal warships in front of them launched an attack without hesitation, and flames erupted from both sides of their hulls, roaring and flying forward, instantly enveloping the Reaper warships in bursting flames. The next moment, I saw those octopus-shaped Reaper warships explode directly under the fierce attack of the Judgment Chamber, turning into pieces of burning metal fragments, tumbling and disappearing into the universe.

  However, such an attack did not shake the Reapers in the slightest. They continued to move forward without fear of the artillery fire of the Tribunal, like puppets without feelings and feelings—continuing to rush forward.

   However, the Inquisition didn't care either.

Beams of light shot out, and with the explosion of the macro cannon, the Reapers were blown to pieces by the ruthless artillery fire. Although in the previous rounds of confrontation, the range of the Inquisition warship was far enough, it was easy to wipe out many The reaper, but the reaper who came continuously from the rear seemed to be like a wave, blasting towards the enemy in front of him overwhelmingly.

   Even so, the battleships of the Tribunal did not have the slightest intention of retreating or getting out of the way. They seemed to be a wall composed of battleships, standing in front of the waves of the Reapers.

   Then, the two sides collided directly like this.

  Seeing this, Kislev suddenly trembled, and then came back to his senses.

  I didn’t come here to watch a show by myself!

   "Everyone is ready, the target—the Reaper, attack!"

   Soon, following Kislev's order, the Starfleet joined the battle against the Reapers.

  Compared to Kislev who has already joined the battle, Duanmuhuai and the others... Well, they really came to watch the show.

   "Come on, come on, blow up all these guys!"

  Standing on the bridge, looking at the flames all around, Ann jumped up and down excitedly. No wonder she was so excited, after all, this is a special seat, and although there is no sound in the universe. But watching the huge metal monster being directly blown into pieces under a round of bombardment, the fragments flying around, and seeing the fierce flames everywhere, it really makes people's blood boil, so much so that An is a little excited The son wanted to rush up and fight by himself-of course it was impossible.

  No matter how powerful her magic is, it is impossible for Ann to clean up a Reaper warship by herself.

  Most of the people who followed Duanmuhuai were not experiencing a space war for the first time, and they were just observing the battlefield in front of them with excitement and curiosity. Only Mary's hands and feet were cold, and she stood there, not daring to move—although she had seen similar situations in movies or TV before, but experiencing it personally now gave Mary a completely different feeling.

   There is no bombing sound and the sound of beam shooting in movies and TVs. Standing behind the window and looking at the battlefield, it feels like watching a silent black and white movie. However, whenever the flames appeared, watching the metal-like horror not far away was exploded, which gave Mary a sense of oppression that far surpassed the feelings brought about by watching a movie in a cinema.

  The Reapers' offensives were almost non-stop, and the Inquisition and the Star Alliance did not back down. After all, they all knew that if the Reapers broke through the defense line, once they landed on any planet, it would be a disaster. So no matter what, they must be here to completely intercept the reaper!

Of course, strictly speaking, the number of Reapers is more than that of the Inquisition and the Starfleet combined, but Duanmuhuai has already prepared for this. In addition to placing the main fleet in the center of the battlefield, he also deliberately left three Only divide the fleet to prevent the reaper from attacking and secretly repairing the plank road.

In fact, the Reapers did use this tactic. They launched a fierce attack on the coalition forces of the Star Alliance and the Tribunal, and then separated another fleet to try to bypass them and go straight to the rear. , fortunately was discovered by the patrol fleet of the Inquisition Chamber, and then blocked it.

   It can be seen that these reapers are real thieves.

  In fact, only the main fleet of the Inquisition and the first and third fleets of the Star Alliance appear here. The Fifth and Seventh Fleets did not join the battle, but were responsible for wandering the various human galaxies for defense. After all, no one knows if this group of reapers will engage in any conspiracy.

  If you were obsessed with dismantling towers, and then someone turned around and chopped off the crystal of your hometown, then there is nowhere to cry.

  Of course, the reason why the Star Alliance can do this is also because the fleet of the Tribunal is strong enough to block the fleet of the Reapers. If other races do this, it is equivalent to giving the Reapers a chance to defeat them.

   However, the battle did not end quickly.

  The reason is also very simple, there are too many Reapers.

   "Mr. Duanmu, there will be no problem."

  Looking at the battlefield in front of her, Ann, who was originally excited, also became worried now—of course, it was more because she was tired.

   "Hmm...it's really a bit troublesome, I didn't expect it to be so much."

  Because there were more players than locusts in the game, Duanmuhuai didn't consider the number of reapers at all. But now it seems that this is obviously a big problem-from the beginning of the battle to the present, they have eliminated tens of thousands of Reapers, but there is still a steady stream of Reapers behind them, as if they are going to be consumed by the sea of ​​insects tactics , this is a bit like fighting a swarm.

   The First Fleet of the Star Alliance was about to be beaten to the ground, and some warships even withdrew from the battlefield because they ran out of ammunition... There was no other way.

   "Ah... I'm so **** off, I want to go out and fight!"

  An was so angry that she almost jumped up, but Guleya held her helplessly.

   "Ann, calm down, you won't be of much help if you go out."

   "Woo... I know, but it's just annoying. This is not the same as fighting by ourselves. We can only watch from the sidelines and worry..."

   Speaking of this, An couldn't help but pouted and complained. In fact, what An said was correct. If it was a ground battle, facing this situation, An and Guleya would be able to destroy many enemies by throwing a big fireball directly. But in the universe, there is basically no room for them to play. In addition, the reaper was on the opposite side, not an ordinary enemy, so Duanmuhuai didn't plan to engage in a gang fight, which meant that they couldn't do anything except watch a show here.

   This is somewhat uncomfortable.

  Although watching fleet battles is fun, it’s boring if you don’t join in.

   "Mr. Duanmu, please give me a battleship, I want to participate in the battle too! Assault! All in all, it is an assault! Go directly behind the opponent!"

  Hey guy, you also plan to do an onboard charge?

  Hearing An's shout, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

   "Okay, go to sleep when you're tired from watching, this battle won't end in a while."

   "Hey? Do you want me to sleep here? Aren't you afraid that you will be exploded if you fall asleep?"

  Not only Ann said so, but even Mary thought so. The beating outside was a mess. Although there was no sound, who could sleep in this situation?

   "No way, the Tribunal's fleet is currently not as large as the Reaper, so it can only fight firepower and defense."

   "Ugh...but I'm going to sleep here..."

   "————!"

However, before An's words were finished, a reaper suddenly opened its minions not far away, and then a dazzling red beam shot directly at the battleship where everyone was on, hitting the void shield and disappearing . Immediately afterwards, a salvo of macro guns fired from here, instantly blasting the metal octopus into pieces.

   "...I'd better take another look."

   "If you are tired, how about going to Venus Island to have a rest?"

   "Huh? But Mr. Duanmu, you won't go."

   "Of course I can't go."

  After all, the warships of the Inquisition Chamber are controlled by dolls, and the dolls are under the control of Duanmuhuai. It can be said that now Duanmuhuai is playing brain-controlled real-time strategy. If he is leaving, the entire fleet will collapse directly.

   After all, this is not a game, you can't just press ESC to pause it.

"Why………"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, An sighed helplessly.

   "Forget it, I'll stay here too."
