Chapter 999: Big Gift

The military expert group (a real expert group, the entry requirement for this group of guys organized by the headquarters is to have participated in at least twenty war campaigns against twenty different worlds, each of which is so brutal) believes that the fallen apostles were involved in this invasion. They must have suffered a huge blow during the battle. According to the intelligence they had obtained, they used at least half of the country's reserve forces. Due to the personal actions of Father God and King Huron, and Sandora's sudden rampage and amplified moves in the end, the enemy directly Two armies were lost - and these two armies achieved almost no results, unless they surprised me.

Their losses at several other invasion points were not small. Even if it was just a feint attack, during the fierce counterattack by the local defense forces and the main force of the empire, the enemy also left behind the wreckage of thousands of medium and large battleships and countless light battleships. Up, they lost three armies in this invasion.

The huge losses will inevitably lead to empty defenses and insufficient military strength in their homeland. If they can seize this opportunity and attack the homeland of the fallen apostles, they will surely achieve brilliant results.

When the expert panel came to this conclusion, they were filled with depression from top to bottom...

Because the forces that the empire can organize are simply not enough to take the initiative to attack...

Even if we lost one less army group than the enemy in this battle, it only made up for the huge gap in strength between the two sides. The enemy seemed to be sure of many things before attacking, including whether the Imperial Army would be able to organize retaliation after this battle. Sexual counterattack.

Sivis forwarded a military intelligence report from the headquarters. The main military forces of the new empire are mentioned above. As well as the inferred combat capabilities of the fallen apostles, they used to be like a heavenly book to me, but now I have been studying hard for three or four years, and it is not difficult to understand this kind of document myself. From the report, we can see to what extent the new empire's military power has developed so far. There are now a total of eight legions in the empire's main force. Among them, the Royal Fleet and the Revenge Fleet belong to the ace armies led by the two emperors. The former is okay, but the latter is still in the running-in period. The spirit of the old Revenge Army is still adapting to its new body. There is room for development, and they have to adapt to the new-look Warsong: as a general flagship, that guy's mouth is really too loud. Except for these two legions. The remaining 1st to 6th legions are the main force of the empire's conventional forces. The 6th legion has been newly formed and its combat effectiveness needs to be improved, but they have adopted all the latest technologies and equipment produced by the research center. Moreover, the training from recruits to fleet is completed under the guidance of the third intelligence core. It has the targeted advantage to fight against the fallen apostles and has great potential.

Excluding the defense forces and servant armies that need to be stationed at the empire's borders for a long time and perform void patrol missions, the above eight legions are currently the main force of the new empire.

Of course, some rare special forces are not included, such as the scientific research fleet and their escort warships, as well as several combat corps composed of light warships and elite soldiers affiliated with the Space and Time Administration. These military groups are separate establishments. There are also three types of heroic combat soldiers: they do not belong to any legion, but are named under the name of the Royal Fleet. On weekdays, it is directly controlled by the emperor of the empire and cannot be regarded as the main force.

According to the Empire's customary legion structure, a legion will include less than a thousand motherships (usually between seven hundred and nine hundred), two to three thousand medium-sized battleships, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of light battleships/ Fighter, the last one is commonly known as the small gray fighter.

The main members of the mothership are the Eternal-class carrier, which is responsible for heavy firepower output, and the super aircraft carrier, which carries a large number of assault ships. In fact, most of the super aircraft carriers are secondary variant spacecraft modified from the Eternal-class. After the main guns are removed, they are converted into large aircraft carriers. Large-scale warship-mounted platforms, they have thickened armor/shields and complete docks/arsenal, and can also be used as mobile logistics bases during front-line operations. Provide repair and emergency recharging services for small and medium-sized warships.

Medium-sized battleships are the most important part of a legion: although they look smaller than those giant motherships, their diverse functions and impressive sustained combat effectiveness allow these medium-sized battleships to bear 100% of the responsibility in battle. The combat missions of the 70th include the Frontier-class fortress ship that serves as a key node of the joint shield, the Expedition-class warship that quickly projects intensive firepower and serves as a maneuvering force, and the mysterious and dangerous stealth bomber (I think the danger of this thing is no longer needed) More to say). and various other auxiliary ships of the same level.

In a legion, small spaceships and fighter planes are also indispensable elements. They are weak in power and have poor defense, but they have amazing numbers and flexibility. A fully-established legion can even carry up to more than 300,000 "little gray machines" at most. This is not surprising, after all, they are very important for battles in space. In other words, small fighters are units of the same level as individual soldiers on the ground battlefield. They are the most basic combat units. Grassroots Xiling soldiers usually drive assault ships to fight, while war puppets use individual fighters that are easier to manufacture. However, there are also There are many exceptions: ace pilots will also fly individual fighters, but they use specially designed models whose performance is not at the same level. It can be said that except for the size, they can be regarded as battleships. A very important value of these small gray machines is that they can be manufactured on the front line. After the battle breaks out, the arsenals mounted on various carriers (especially those super aircraft carriers) can continue to produce them at any time using raw materials and material generation equipment recovered from the battlefield. The new fighter planes are used by the war puppets that have just come off the production line. This greatly extends the continuous combat capability of the Imperial Army. In many cases, the horror of fighting the Imperial Army is not only their powerful main guns, but also their The battlefield production technology that can spit out hundreds or thousands of aircraft every minute while fighting on the front line is quite disgusting. Patients with trypophobia should consciously blind their eyes when fighting against imperial aircraft carriers. …

After excluding these conventional spaceships, a legion will also include a small number of special ships, such as the crystal amplifier spacecraft used by the leader Bee Queen, and the gravity well generator (although it is a kind of equipment, the gravity well generator with the ability to sail and carry passengers is also considered classified as spaceships). Cutting-edge tech labs (a favorite of mad scientists) and other battleships. The total number of these small but sophisticated special battleships in a legion usually does not exceed one thousand, except in the royal fleet.

The above is the normal establishment of the Imperial Legion. A legion organized according to the above scale is commonly known as a "group army". The formation of the servant army is similar to this form, but because the technology trees of each civilization are different, their main battleships also require different tactics, so there are some differences in the ratio of ship types, and generally speaking, the number of a group of servant armies is Much more than the Imperial Legion.

In this battle, the Fallen Apostles lost more than three army groups (in fact, if those small gray machines are included, they lost nearly four armies). This kind of loss should be placed on the empire. It was almost a disaster: half of the country's troops were wiped out, and the remaining troops had to strengthen the border defenses, which was equivalent to the destruction of military power. Even if it is placed on the fallen apostle himself, it will be a huge blow. It doesn't matter whether Harlan's territory will be annexed by others. Their defense force at the border must have been empty. In this case, if they can attack the enemy Compared with the local area, the counterattack force they can organize is quite weak.

It would be great if the New Empire hadn't also suffered huge losses...

"It seems you are quite busy."

I was studying various reports from the headquarters, trying to squeeze out some troops to go to the Fallen Apostle's hometown to take advantage of the fire (mainly because I wanted to vent my anger for Sandora, otherwise I would panic), but I heard something in my ears. A female voice whirred and looked up. The petite purple-haired girl was standing in front of her with her arms folded, and behind her stood her father who looked helpless.

The two of them were in high spirits, as if they had just returned from an outing - despite the fact that they had just fought a group battle with an entire army group yesterday, and had the whole army annihilated.

These two didn't come back all night. After the battle yesterday, they said they wanted to deal with some "remaining issues" on the battlefield. As a result, they spent the whole night dealing with it. Now they can be regarded as showing up. To be honest, if they didn't know that Sheila is now weak In this state, he can never beat God the Father. Otherwise, Bingtis would have thought that King Huron had forcibly kidnapped Father God and returned to the Huron God Realm to get married.

Even if they come back now, I'm afraid it won't change Bingtis's suspicion that the two big guys went out to have sex yesterday.

"You're back," I quickly stood up. "Many people thought you two had eloped."

Sheila looked out the window and saw a dazzling light ball that occupied one-third of the sky hanging directly to the west: "Does your wife still have this function? You guys have really spent a lot of money to deal with the energy crisis!"

I:"……"

All right. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat her... But now Sandora is really learning to rotate and revolve with Gaia, and it will take more than half an hour. It's time for Sandora to go down the mountain.

I smiled and looked at the two men in front of me who were suspected of trying to elope, and rubbed my hands: "Where is the surprise you mentioned?"

Silla went to the side to get a glass of water and drank it in one gulp: "We will let you out of the city. There were several people here, but I was nervous at the time. I was almost tricked by them, so when I got excited, I pulled Xingchen When I enlarged it, I didn’t know where the other ones went. In the end, the situation was not very good. After the middle ball was pulled out, the whole thing suddenly fell apart. It was shocking. Xingchen and I were playing tricks in outer space. It took three hours and he didn't put it together again, and he still blamed me for being careless. Then I had no choice but to get a bunch of parts, which was really regrettable, but I got it back anyway... Hey! Why did he run away? ?”

As soon as Sheila said the last sentence, I had teleported to the square outside, and then headed straight to the outskirts of Shadow City with 700 billion. Along the way, I could see many shuttles from scientific research centers rushing east in the same direction as me. , and even saw Tavel flying in the air without even using transportation: it was not a quality projection, but a real and flesh-and-blood lady with long straight black glasses.

I got closer, and Tavel immediately sat on the front of the 700-billion car in cooperation, then turned and leaned against the windshield. Her excited voice came from the spiritual link: "Your Majesty! The two god kings have brought something great. The spoils of war!”

"Sit aside," I said awkwardly, "and pay more attention to your personal image. You are a woman."

Shadow City has now grown to an incredible size. The Shadow Fortress is hundreds of kilometers away from the outskirts of the city. However, this journey only took a few minutes. When we arrived at the scene, there were even many scientific researchers placing equipment here. We all know that the Shadow City itself is built on a piece of ground floating in space. As the bubbles continue to add new data, the city is expanding every day, and the land on which the city is located is expanding at a higher speed. After growing and developing to the present, Shadow City only occupies the middle third of this space floating island. Outside is a quite large undeveloped area, which is a monotonous area similar to a desert. The ground is covered with silver-gray fine sand, and it can be seen as far as the eye can see. It stretches for nearly a thousand kilometers from the city boundary to the floating island boundary. It is this open space that is large enough to put the rags picked up by the two bosses of the Protoss.

Those things occupy a large area of ​​sandy land with a radius of three hundred kilometers. And the piles are so towering that if you don't look down from a height of more than ten kilometers, you won't even realize where the boundaries of these tattered piles are. They seem to form an unprecedented steel jungle! The first thing that catches the eye are countless long strips of black metal structures. Their size is definitely large among the imperial equipment. Even the smallest one is probably several kilometers in length. These long strips of metal structures look rough. It is straight, but after seeing the larger fragments that reach into the sky, we can confirm that they actually have slight arcs: these things are more like falling from a huge ring, just fragments They are already level with the mountains. You can imagine how large they would be when combined into a ring. After observing closely, I saw that there were extremely complex structures hidden behind those metal fragments. It seemed that they were core components located at the inner level of the entire mechanism. With my shallow knowledge, it was difficult to see what these mechanical devices were used for. I could only It can be vaguely distinguished that it has an energy redundant loop that far exceeds the conventional: This shows that this huge thing will be filled with extremely high concentrations of energy for a long time, and the large number of redundant loops gives it safety under extreme working conditions. . These huge and frightening black mechanical fragments piled up into steel mountains that could not be seen at a glance, like technological ruins in the style of Gothic ruins, and at the top of the mountains was a huge sphere. It may have a diameter of more than ten kilometers, and its surface is dark and does not even reflect any light. From this angle, it seems as if a piece of the sky is suddenly missing. It takes a long time to identify it as a black ball.

My heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and stomach were shaking in turn. Tavel shivered with me, and we shivered for a while. The bespectacled girl spoke, grabbing my arm inexplicably excitedly: "Your Majesty! It's the King of Landing! The core is all there!"

"Oh, oh, I understand, please stop shaking." I was very embarrassed. Tavel was as calm as a stone most of the time, but once the excitement of scientific research got high, she was not much calmer than Pandora. She was in the Great Nebula back then. I still remember the scene of her holding a bunch of bombs and throwing them around. "I've seen it once, but this is the first time I've seen it dismantled like this..."

That's right, this unprecedented pile of junk in front of us covers a radius of more than 300 kilometers and is piled with porcelain. According to Tavel's identification, it should be the remains of a King's Level strategic fortress. I had to open up on the two veteran void creatures. Impressed by its fighting power, Father God and King Huron tore this thing apart and piled it up here for me. The only thing that was intact was the ball that was the core of the fortress: they even creatively placed this ball in the trash. The top is like the cherry on top of the cake. Anyway, according to Sheila herself, the fortress fell apart after they got the ball off: I feel like she is evading responsibility...

It’s really embarrassing that the Fortress of the King’s Lander, which relies on the invincible three-axe, has been turned into such a bunch of performance art. It’s even more embarrassing when Bingtis, who came to join in the fun after hearing the news, sighed. She said this: “This The core idea of ​​the sculpture is that three axes hold a ball."

...Normal girls' words are described as having a certain amount of sugar, but I think Bingtis should be described as having a sand content. Her casual words are enough to make you sift for half a year. It's too arrogant.

This is really a great gift. It’s no wonder that God the Father and King Huron are so mysterious. I’m far more excited than I look, let alone Tavel: The girl with glasses has already rushed forward to direct the work with great momentum. The staff scanned the whole body of the wreckage. The first step was to number each of the fragments and then see if they could be assembled into a valuable whole. This was a tedious project, but it was not as difficult as it seemed. : The wreckage was very complete. Father God and King Huron carefully packed and brought over all the fragments they could find. This may be to make up for the apology for accidentally completely damaging things. I watched Tavel command the work excitedly, and the previous gloomy mood due to the inability to launch a retaliatory strike against the fallen apostle was slightly put aside: that matter can be considered later, and now I only know one thing, the imperial army A new super battleship is coming soon!

At this time, Father and God finally followed, and Sheila looked very proud: "How is it? Good stuff, right? I heard Xingchen say that this kind of big guy was your most powerful weapon back then. It is said that after it is fully activated, even high-level gods will have to walk around when they see it. I was almost killed by this thing in the void. Normal attacks couldn't hit it at all, but it was even confused in the face."

At this time, the huge black ball at the core of the King was slowly lowered. In any case, it was too much for such a thing that was more majestic than the Taihang Mountains to be placed on a pile of garbage a hundred kilometers high. It's dangerous. King Huron really dared to play with it. She used this thing as a city sculpture.

Under the influence of the anti-gravity field, the huge core was placed steadily on an open space where various temporary scanning equipment had just been set up. Can you imagine a ball with a diameter of more than ten kilometers and a weight heavier than the Himalayas placed on the ground? What a terrifying sight it is? This is the same visual effect as seeing a planet battleship in space. No matter how large the latter is, it still has to be placed against the background of space, while the former, even if it is only a few dozen kilometers away, is still something that cannot be seen at a glance. I am very disappointed. Fortunately, the gravity field of the entire Shadow City is controlled by Bubble himself. Otherwise, this thing will definitely smash a hole in the continent. Then I can tie a rope to bungee jumping next to the large hollow on the outskirts of the city. Below is a radius of 5,000 Three hundred kilometers away from Shandora, could the gravity environment around Shadow City be any messier... (To be continued)
