Xiling Empire

Chapter 1,334 There Will Be a Day when I Am Bombarded by Floating Cannons!?

The battle has entered the final stage, the fallen apostles were completely defeated, and there is no capital for a comeback. The Glowing Circle formation had just destroyed the enemy's last batch of gunboats with resistance and killed all the enemy's shield nodes. After losing the joint shield, the Fallen Apostles were divided by the Imperial Assault Fleet into a number that could not be considered both head and tail. Hundreds of areas were slowly strangled. The most important reason why Sivis did not use heavy firepower to saturate the fallen apostles who had lost the ability to resist was that I planned to capture the enemy's top commanders alive - let me tell you, since I captured Brother Carlo alive, I I have become addicted to this matter. To deal with this mysterious group of fallen apostles who are brewing a huge conspiracy, catching one alive is much more valuable than getting a hundred dead.

Not to mention that this time we have a chance to capture an emperor alive: this makes me very happy.

Sandora and I jumped into the enemy's main formation on an assault ship. Since the enemy's gravity trap generator and shield nodes had almost been killed by the glow ring, the assault ship jumped smoothly in this area. block. The glow ring is really a good thing. It is almost like a meat grinder when it kills the remaining enemy soldiers. When the assault ship passes through the battlefield, I will see the enemy ships passing by me suddenly shrink at any time. into a small dot, and then exploded into a flower: Sivis is commanding the Seventh Fleet to escort us. Before landing on the dark planet, he and Sandora must try to conserve their physical strength, because Harlan will not Just waiting to be caught.

There are constantly fragments of warships floating in space and continuous flashes of explosions passing by outside the side. The assault ship has entered the enemy's last gravity trap effective area. Now it is passing through an area covered with debris in a conventional way, and the ship's main engine is agilely avoiding the metal fragments that are rushing through space. I looked across the lifeless wreckage. I saw psionic energy beams continuing to sweep through space in the distance, and it seemed that the fighting on some local battlefields was still going on. Busy battlefield reports can be heard in the communication link. It seems that every combat team is progressing smoothly. Now the fighting area is all concentrated inside the fallen apostle's position. It can be said that the battle is over.

Looking at the residual floating outside and the flashes of light that cut through the darkness from time to time, my mood slowly calmed down. This is probably the result of my constant training: before fighting, my heart is calm. [

I suddenly thought of something worth being happy about. So he touched Sandora's arm: "Actually, thanks to Harlan's reset, our losses in this battle were actually reduced: the second battle ended faster, whether it was the Hessian tribe or the emperor. The losses were not as great as the first battle."

This is something I just thought of. In the first battle, although we were almost victorious, we suffered considerable losses against the King's Lander formation. The Hessian tribe even suffered an almost crushing counterattack. . After Harlan reset the battlefield, the Imperial Army and the Hessian tribe were all resurrected, but only the regular units of the Fallen Apostles were restored, and one-third of their King's Lander battleships were still paralyzed. And in the second battle, under Xiaoxue's prompting, we adopted a more effective tactic: storming Levalette's Return Ring at all costs, which caused the Fallen Apostle to collapse faster without the loss of its supreme commander. In the end, Harlan's return ability saved some losses for the Emperor and the Hessian tribe: although not much was recovered, the result itself was quite ironic.

"Harlan probably didn't expect that the prophet's power could be so powerful that he could see through his weaknesses in a few minutes," Sandora showed a calm smile, "and his reset ability is effective against things of the King's level. . But it is effective against almost all units of the Imperial Army and the Hessian Tribe. He is self-defeating... Wait. I suddenly feel that although his army has returned to normal in terms of combat consciousness, Harlan himself seems not to be very sober. Looks like, logically speaking, he shouldn't make this kind of mistake."

Shandora really became concerned about this issue and began to think hard. Finally, she came to a conclusion: "Well, Harlan is still sleepwalking. He just basically resurrected all the enemies and then let his army Died again..."

Personally, I think Sandora's summary is very accurate: it turns out that there was such an oolong behind the fierce battle just now!

The assault ship passed through sporadic firefights and finally arrived thrillingly over the dark planet. The planet has now been split into a pile of fragments floating in space, but the strange thing is that they are still connected together without any traces. It is thrown out in all directions like a normal planet explosion. This alone can show that the Glory Starship is not a "natural celestial body" in the secular world. This shattered planet is dotted with terrifying rifts that run through the entire planet. Through these rifts, you can see the dark red flash of the planet's core, and the lightning that jumps between the planet's fragments. I control the spacecraft. Carefully entering a grand canyon directly below that reaches the core of the earth, Sandora concentrated on sensing the surrounding environment. When we had sunk close to the core of the earth, she suddenly said: "It's nearby."

I found a protruding metal platform nearby, parked the spaceship on it, and then Sandora and I stood on the ground for the first time on a glorious starship belonging to the fallen apostle.

This metal platform looks like it is part of a broken overpass. One end of it stretches out in the air, with the dark red planet energy core underneath, and the other end is connected to a dark battleship corridor. I looked around, filling in my mind what this place looked like before it was torn apart. The internal structures of various Glory starships are different. The interior of Viska's Glory is a hollow fortress with complete military facilities, the interior of Sandora's Glory only has light and energy, and the interior of Harlan's Glory is like a giant ship. Spaceship Tyrant: We are now inside this broken planet. From the fracture zones on both sides, we can see many structures similar to battleship corridors. However, theoretically there are no ordinary soldiers stationed inside the Glory Starship, so I don’t know the significance of these corridors. ——Did Harlan use it when he was sleepwalking?

"Be vigilant, I think he is nearby," Sandora said in the spiritual connection, "and he has woken up."

I wonder how weak Harlan will be now. But in theory, an emperor can be defeated even if he has just emerged from his glorious form. It is definitely better than ordinary officers: According to Sandora's metaphor, the Glory Starship is just a dream used to distort reality for the Xiling Apostle (this metaphor is a bit problematic, but Sandora has used it this way, so don't pursue it) details), I would venture to guess that Harlan’s current level of weakness is probably a bit similar to low blood pressure after getting up...

Then I was ready for battle according to this standard.

"This place looks weird. It looks like this after Glory was damaged."

I observed the surrounding environment and discovered some strange phenomena: the edges of the broken planet fragments were shaking. The further away from me, the more obvious the shaking became. The metal overpass under our feet is very "real", but the alloy cliff hundreds of meters away is blurry. This phenomenon seems to have just appeared: I didn't notice this strange situation when I drove the spacecraft down. In addition, I also noticed that the broken earth in the far distance was gradually becoming transparent. There was a broken floating island floating about one or two kilometers away from here. Through it, I even saw an explosion in the distance. flash.

"The Glory Starship is a product of twisted rules. Therefore, it will not leave any wreckage after being destroyed, but will slowly 'collapse' in the real world," Sandora easily broke off a piece of debris from the nearby alloy cliff. , with a casual grasp, this seemingly sturdy piece of black alloy turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared into the air. "When it gradually collapses, the Glory starship will produce various abnormal phenomena. And due to the inversion of micro and macro scales, these anomalies will present various scenarios depending on the observer, and it is not surprising to see anything. In fact, the scenes you saw and the scenes I saw will be the same. With slight deviations, everything here is between reality and illusion. Don’t worry about what you see with your own eyes.”

I nodded in understanding and decided to put this kind of detail aside. And just when he relaxed a little, a flash of light suddenly passed by!

"Fuck!" I leaned in subconsciously, and then dodged the flash of light in an extremely thrilling way. The latter swept across the place where I was standing, leaving a scar on the alloy overpass that almost cut off the middle of the bridge, and finally bombarded me. On the cliff in the distance, a violent explosion occurred. The thin gas environment inside the broken planet echoed with bursts of rapid and dull roars.

Immediately afterwards, chain reaction-like explosions began to occur in all directions, and the broken planet plates seemed to be bombarded by something invisible. And it was obvious that Shandora and I were at the center of it all!

The already fragile alloy cliff was violently impacted, shaking violently like a collapsed beach castle. Large pieces of metal fragments fell from the upper edge of the earth's crust like a rainstorm, all the way to the hot and boiling surface of the dark planet. In the core of blood. Everything was shaking in all directions. Shandora and I had to simply leave the ground and fly in the air to stabilize our bodies. Soon I found more abnormalities around us: gravity disorder, torn alloys The cliff was twisting and deforming, and there seemed to be problems with the surrounding space and optical phenomena. The falling metal fragments continued to change large shapes as they fell. It took me a few seconds to realize that this was an optical "perspective phenomenon" "It's out of control. The surroundings began to become upside down and chaotic. If, as Sandora said, the Glory Starship is a "Xiling Dream" used to distort the real world, then this dream has now turned into a nightmare, and is about to The state of confusion between waking up and not waking up.

In this chaos, I heard Harlan's voice, calm and clear, appearing directly in my and Sandora's minds: "You are looking for me, aren't you?" [

"You are finally willing to come out." Sandora completely looked at the disturbing scene of collapse around her. She looked at a tall figure not far away who was gradually emerging from the air: Harlan.

This is a tall and strong middle-aged man, wearing the full set of formal attire of the Xiling Emperor: the emperor's military uniform, ribbon, command knife, and pistol - for the Xiling Apostle, the more formal the attire, the more necessary it is. Full set of military equipment. I once saw a video of Harlan's message in Green Star's database. His real person seems to be more cold and solemn than in the video. The fighting passion and cold gaze in Harlan's eyes now are not in the video I saw that day. - Of course, this may also be related to Sandora's just-revealed abyss claws and my void form...

I found that after Harlan appeared, the collapse speed around us slowed down. And when his figure completely turned into a physical entity, the chaotic gravity and confusing optical effects also returned to normal. The cliff that was almost completely collapsed came to a trembling still, and even some half-fallen metal fragments were returning to their original positions: it seemed that the appearance of Harlan's body had restored a little "vitality" to the collapsing dark planet. .

"I didn't expect that I would be here today." Harlan didn't look nervous at all, even though he was in a very bad situation now, and he couldn't beat either of me or Sandora. "Haha, I was confused for a long time. Time, the first thing I see when I wake up is your army pressing down on the situation, it’s really bad.”

Sandora's eyes changed slightly. The other party seemed to confirm a fact, and then she showed a calm smile: "You can't run away, the space outside has been blocked layer by layer, but I guess you are definitely not willing to surrender."

I nodded: "You have the right to choose to resist. Anyway, we will beat you until you can't take care of yourself."

Harlan didn't say a word and just stepped back slightly. I thought it was time for him to make a big move. So I was ready to fight, but the opponent's attack method made me stunned: hundreds of space vortexes suddenly appeared in the air in all directions, and the first thing we faced was an overwhelming floating cannon!

Hundreds of rectangular floating cannons as big as Alto formed a wall and bombarded Sandora and me at the same time. Harlan took the opportunity to quickly retreat where he passed. The space continues to crack, and a large number of fixed turrets and floating guns emerge like ghosts emerging from the darkness, and the number seems to be exhausted. I instinctively opened my shield to resist. After a while, the speed at which the shield was consumed was surprising: these floating cannons were far more powerful than they seemed. And when a large number of forts are stacked together, the power is far from as simple as one plus one!

A large piece of the alloy cliff behind us was instantly chipped away by the fierce gunfire. The violent explosion completely covered the line of sight. Among the violent flashes and annoying metal fragments, Harlan's figure could no longer be seen. I could only determine the opponent's position and status through mental scanning. I was somewhat crazy: " Why does this fighting method look so familiar!"

"Pandora is not the only apostle who fights with floating cannons and turret arrays." Sandora's half body has turned into the form of an abyss. She casually released a gray-black shock wave, tearing apart the floating cannon cluster with the strongest firepower. , and even created an exit up to a hundred meters wide in the encirclement net, but in just a few tenths of a second, the encirclement net was blocked by more floating cannons.

Harlan released not only floating cannons, but also small jump interrupters and gravity trap generators. These devices have limited impact on Sandora and I, but they are still very annoying. Of course, what is even more annoying is the huge number. The turrets are more powerful than Pandora's turrets, and their attack attributes are complex. There are some devices that are not turrets mixed in. They are actually miniaturized mathematical rate effect generators. In order to offset the confusion caused by those things. "Chaos", I had to release the Void Realm, which was obviously very energy-consuming: I still haven't recovered from the energy consumed in the one-on-one battle with the King's Battle Group just now. This is really an aggrieved situation.

Now I understand a little bit how aggrieved those people who were crushed by Pandora's firepower died. Once the number of floating cannons is overwhelming, it will definitely be a nightmare battlefield. They can attack from blind spots, and they are very agile. The quantity can be replenished at any time. What you have to face is the dilemma of evading and being bombarded indiscriminately throughout the entire process before winning. All actions you take must be carried out under artillery fire. The power of a single floating cannon may be limited, but they can exert fleet-like combat effectiveness in a cluster situation, and the various turrets manufactured by the Xiling Apostles have never been pure "firepower weapons". The special "nature" of psionic energy has led to these The weapon itself is an extra-dimensional attack. What I have to deal with at the same time is not only the artillery, but also the constantly collapsing space structure!

In addition, we have to face Harlan’s strange abilities: I still don’t know how to accurately describe Harlan’s power. He is a bit like a combination of Pandora-type fireman and Storm Commander, and he can control an amazing number of floating objects. The cannon carries out powerful bombings and has the information control power like the Ring of Return. Now he has left the glory state, but his return ability still seems to be effective. More and more floating cannons have been destroyed by Sandora and I. I But I didn’t notice that Harlan had any inventory. After careful observation, I was sure that he had recovered his losses!

Of course it is not a problem to be bombed like this, so Sandora and I prepared to find an opportunity to break out, but this seemed to be a little difficult: the floating gun array was extremely flexible, and the encirclement they formed was extremely "flexible", and each individual turret Both have the ability to jump. Sandora and I chose the wrong direction for our first breakout, and our speed was not fast enough. The result was that the firepower network formed by tens of thousands of floating cannons plowed more than 1,300 kilometers of earth's crust, and we Still at the center of the firepower grid.

The violent storm of artillery fire was still bombarding continuously. As far as the sight could see, the earth could no longer find a foothold. I was responsible for raising defenses and using energy detonations to slightly weaken the number of these floating cannons (the latter did not What effect), Sandora used her powerful destructive power after transforming into the abyss to send shock waves everywhere for free. We passed over the crumbling earth at dozens of times the speed of sound, and Harlan's artillery fire seemed to be carrying a storm. Like a thunderous tornado, it followed closely behind. I did some calculations and found that I had almost circled the planet...

It seems that Harlan has the upper hand now, and he is chasing us, but Sandora is not frustrated at all. She even always wears a cold and calm smile, because in fact Harlan has no chance of winning. Sandora and I Dora's current purpose is just to consume the opponent's remaining mental energy. I am certain: Harlan is almost at the end of his strength.

There is a reason for this, because so far these floating cannons can only be considered "threats" to Sandora and me, but they are not fatal. No matter how high-end this kind of weapon is, it is just a conventional artillery. Pandora has a lot of more advanced ones. As for the high-end equipment, does Harlan only have floating cannons? As an emperor, if the opponent only has these floating cannons and the auxiliary "reset" ability, it is obviously not enough, so I am afraid that the opponent is really strong on the outside and bad on the inside: he If there is a big move, it should be used long ago.

There was another burst of continuous explosions. I seized the opportunity and used energy detonation to destroy the turret position on a nearby floating island. Before more turrets blocked it, I pulled Sandora and rushed out of the encirclement.

Almost at the same time Sandora and I rushed out, several space cracks appeared in all directions, and more floating cannons and jump interrupters began to try to block this space. Sandora seemed to be confused about this "chaos". Finally tired of the battlefield, the golden light behind her expanded to thousands of kilometers in an instant: "Dead things should also obey my orders!"

Everything around him suddenly stopped, and the soul-stealer's will swept everything like a violent wind, so everything in the world, regardless of spirits, declared obedience.

Including dust, and Harlan's turrets.

I looked around, and this place had changed beyond recognition: the broken planet plates had almost been blown into pieces and pieces of floating platforms, and there was no larger thing that could even be called a floating island as far as the eye could see. Devastated by the previous indiscriminate bombings and the shock waves continuously released by Sandora, we unknowingly shattered a large swath of the planet. [

What is worth complaining about is that half of them were blown up by Harlan himself. He was really cruel to himself. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote and vote monthly at Qidian. Mobile users please go to read
