- Chapter 388 - Lure the enemy deep! The ultimate weapon, the Mothership! Turn the tide!
Sigma Sector, World Ship Battlefield.
Here, under the psychic storm summoned by the high-level templar, Tal’darin’s troop formation was messed up, and then was continuously attacked by the surging psychic warriors.
This put Tal’darin’s troops, who had been beaten dizzy, into the predicament of being surrounded and annihilated.
In addition to the ordinary psychic warriors charging forward and the Templar warriors calling the shots in the rear, there is also a group of elite Templar warriors holding battle axes charging forward.
Obviously, unlike high-level templars, these elite templars are positioned for melee combat, and the battle axes in their hands dance like metal whirlwinds.
On the chaotic battlefield, this templar warrior continued to blow away Tal’darin’s warriors, and the bloody tissue fragments spattered wantonly all over the battlefield.
Faced with such a fierce offensive by the Templars, the remaining Tal’darin garrison could only retreat urgently, escaping desperately back behind the tearing force field that had not completely failed.
At least until the force field generator in this area was completely destroyed, Durham’s protoss troops did not dare to rush in blankly.
However, the Durham fleet led by Lugia has been attacking the city all the way, and the second tearing force field front has been attacked by them.
As long as this generator is taken down, Durham’s troops can advance to a large area, and then the Tal’darin gang will have nowhere to escape.
Seeing that the war on the front line seemed to be developing for the better, Marshal Terrence nodded repeatedly: “I underestimated this group of Durham Stars, although their tactics are a bit crude.”
“But the effect is pretty good.”
Black and white cats are good cats if they can catch mice.
At first, Terrence thought that Lugia’s all-inclusive attack tactics would easily lead to big losses, but it turned out to be just the opposite.
The offensive of Durham’s troops was almost devastating!
“They do have some abilities.”
Paul also nodded. With the facts before his eyes, he had to admit the excellent combat capabilities of the Durham fleet. But Paul soon changed the topic:
“It’s just that it’s not the time to be happy yet.”
Judging from the current situation, the force led by Lukia is indeed more capable than the Tal’darin stationed here by Naion.
But this is their home court after all, and they still don’t know what other trump cards Naian has hidden.
But Lukia basically used all his methods at once.
Not long after, as the second tearing force field generator collapsed, the Durham troops on the ground once again advanced to a large area.
This time, the Immortal, a mobile chariot like a steel fortress, stood at the forefront of the team, using double-barreled phase fragmentation cannons to clear the way for the Templars.
The anti-matter bombs launched by the Immortals can easily tear huge holes in various heavy armored aircraft.
Even the Colossus siege vehicle that Tal’darin relied on had to temporarily avoid the edge.
Not to mention the vanguard infantry combat mecha, which is almost the same as the Immortal. Although the war machinery of both sides is similar, the shells used are different.
So they are obviously the same weapons and equipment, but the power displayed is very different.
In addition, Tal’darin’s blood hunters were also detected by mechanical eyeballs floating in mid-air.
These large eyes that rely on psychic energy fluctuations for observation can be called all-seeing eyes on the battlefield. Even the Dark Templar warriors who are good at sneaking cannot escape their detection.
Not to mention a blood hunter.
Soon, under the fierce offensive of the Templars, Tal’darin’s garrison retreated one after another, suffering heavy casualties.
The battlefield situation here seems to be exactly what Lugia had predicted before. Tal’darin is a group of fragile rats, and they are not vulnerable at all.
After several rounds of successful captures, Lugia became more and more determined in its view of Tal’darin. It proudly issued an order to the fleet:
“Don’t stop, keep moving forward quickly, and completely eliminate these heretics of the stars for me!”
At this moment, Executor Lugia seemed to have seen the moment when the army returned victoriously and his heroic deeds became famous in Kara.
But Tanis, who had seen Tal’darin’s military capabilities, noticed something was wrong. The last time it fought against Neon’s troops, it didn’t go so smoothly.
There must be some fraud!
“Executive officer, our fleet’s shield energy has been almost exhausted. We should stop now and wait for the shield energy to be replenished before launching an attack.”
Tanis spoke up in time to remind Lugia that fortunately Lugia was not a brainless and arrogant fool, and it was not dazzled by the victory in front of it.
After confirming that the energy shields of each battleship were in urgent need of restoration, it calmed down, nodded and said: “Okay, let’s wait for a while, and then we will eradicate these scum after a while!”
However, not long after Lugia’s order was conveyed, Naion himself appeared in person near the third tearing force field generator.
Not only that, it also escorted a group of Templar captives to the front of the battle line, as if to show off the power of the Ta’darin clan to Lugia in a show of force.
Sure enough, Naian’s actions quickly attracted the attention of everyone present. The protoss warriors in Durham looked directly at Naian angrily.
After a while, Neang escorted these Templars who had their psychic powers restricted to the high platform, and loudly announced to the Durham fleet in the distance:
“Anyone who offends our Tal’darin will be punished no matter how far away! This is what will happen to you next——!”
With the sound of Niang falling, the blood hunter raised his decapitating knife towards the Templar prisoners in front of him, and killed them all with the knife in his hand.
This scene immediately ignited the anger of all the Duram Protoss warriors, including the Executor Lukia, who roared angrily and wanted to eat the beast Naion alive on the spot.
When Paul saw this, he was finally able to relax.
Niang’s doing this is completely seeking his own death. Now the Tal’darin tribe and Dallam have an irresolvable feud, and it is impossible for the two sides to reconcile as before.
Only by completely annihilating the other party can we relieve the hatred in our hearts!
“Kill these traitors for me, leaving no one behind!”
Before the fleet’s shield force field was fully charged, Executive Officer Lukia could no longer hold back and directly ordered an attack on the third tearing force field.
Obviously, this was a trick Neon deliberately used to lure the enemy. It executed the Daram captives under such circumstances just to anger Lugia’s fleet.
Naian could see that the Durham fleet, which had successively captured two defensive lines, was showing signs of decline. It was just at the end of its efforts.
If we lure the other side to attack again, it will be the other side that will suffer a lot of casualties next!
At this moment, Lugia was not completely blinded by anger. It planned to use this anger bonus to let the troops capture a force field generator in one go.
The advantage of doing this is that it can boost one’s own morale and dampen the opponent’s morale.
Even if there is an ambush, Lugia believes that he can defeat the opponent. As long as they kill Niang forcibly, the battle will be over.
In the coordinated confrontation between the coaches of both sides, the psychic warriors on both sides fought again.
Seeing that Durham’s fleet was indeed swooping towards him, Naian not only did not show the slightest panic, but instead ordered confidently:
“Let the Holy Mother Ship come on stage, it’s time to give these bastards a taste of the pain!”
The Mother Ship can be regarded as the ultimate battleship weapon in the protoss civilization, and its power is roughly equivalent to the Forerunner flagship in the “Halo” universe, the Mantle of the World.
Both also have the ability to tear apart time and space, distort space, and can become invisible and release huge psychic storms.
Even the giants in the world only have three super battleships like this.
In Durham’s golden fleet, the core flagship is the Mother Ship, but this time there is no Mother Ship among the troops led by Lukia.
Soon, the Durham fleet forcibly approached the third tearing force field generator, regardless of the fact that the shield energy had not yet been fully restored.
Just as they were trying to replicate their previous tactical coordination and destroy the generator, a huge ship that covered the sky and the sun suddenly shrouded the fleet.
Everyone looked up and saw a mobile city nearly five kilometers in length, oppressing them like a giant. It was Tal’darin’s ultimate mothership.
This is also where Naian’s greatest confidence lies.
“This is impossible! How could the Tal’darin tribe own the Mother Ship? This shouldn’t be the case.”
Lugia’s eyes were full of astonishment. He couldn’t figure out where Naion got this battleship.
You must know that the Mother Ship is a great creation passed down from the golden age of the protoss. Today’s protoss can no longer create such an ultimate weapon.
Therefore, the Holy Mother Ship can be regarded as a super killer weapon that can be counted on one hand.
Even in Durham’s golden fleet, there is only one Virgin Ship, the Purification.
Because a core battleship like the Mother Ship can completely form an ace space formation around it.
It can be said that the Protoss Tribe with the Mother Ship can be regarded as a vassal-level force capable of separatist power.
But now, the rebels who were regarded as low-class by Lugia suddenly took out such a powerful Mother Ship. This is like the unscrupulous people in the backwoods suddenly taking out nuclear weapons to deal with the regular army.
Unfortunately, on this expedition, they haven’t brought the Purification to suppress the formation!
At this time, Niang had quickly arrived in the command room of the Holy Mother Ship through the warp prism. It was sitting on the captain’s seat, looking sideways at all living beings like an emperor.
The appearance of the Holy Mother Ship has meant that it has regained the initiative. The previous retreats were just a means to consume the Durham fleet.
“What a bunch of fools. Do you really think that your Kara way can lead you to the end of evolution? They are just a bunch of fools sitting together in a daze.”
“Now I’ll give you a ride in advance!”
Neon sneered at the Durham troops below.
Since the protoss ended their eternal war and started the period of great expansion of the universe, Tal’darin, as one of the tribes, was the first to take the “rob and develop” route.
When all tribes are like hunters, carefully searching for ancient ruins in the dark cosmic forest and developing their own civilization.
The Tal’darin tribe first thought of developing and strengthening themselves by robbing other tribes of resources and populations.
Just like my neighbor is collecting grain and I am collecting guns, my neighbor is my granary.
Most of the protoss who lost contact were snatched away by Tal’darin, rather than encountering cosmic disasters such as black holes or neutron stars.
During this process, Tal’darin also successfully obtained a Holy Mother Ship for free. After countless transformations, this Holy Mother Ship became more destructive and became Tal’darin’s core flagship!
Seeing that the Mothership in front of him could appear silently above his own fleet, Lokia immediately realized that the other side’s warship was a real thing, not a tool to bully others.
After all, the only warship that can achieve this level of jump is the Mothership with extremely excellent performance.
“All warships immediately release interceptors and retreat in an orderly manner!”
Reading the correct version! The first release of this novel.
Lugia tried his best to control his inner panic and tension, and issued a retreat order to each warship. The only thing he could do now was to use unmanned interceptors to block the Mothership.
Try to give the large forces the opportunity to exit the tearing force field as much as possible, so that at least the main force of the fleet can be preserved.
If they are forced to stay in this tearing force field and fight with the Tal’darim, their fate will definitely be death, and they will die without a burial place!
Immediately, a large number of unmanned interceptors were released from various Protoss warships, and the interceptors rushed towards the Mothership of Naion regardless of everything.
Dayou made a gesture of dying together with the other party.
Looking at the overwhelming interceptors in front of him, Naion just sneered and said: “Start the Galaxy Vortex and confiscate all these scraps!”
“Yes!”
Just when the steel torrent composed of unmanned interceptors was about to hit the Mother of Tal’dalin, a strange distorted force field suddenly appeared in the space and time in front.
At the same time, all the interceptors flew uncontrollably towards the center of the force field.
That was one of the skills of the Mother of Tal’dalin, the Galaxy Vortex!
The so-called Galaxy Vortex is to create a strong gravitational vortex in the target area, sucking all units within the range into the central vortex.
From the visual effect, it was like a small black hole appeared out of thin air, sucking the interceptors in, and even distorting the light around them.
At first, these unmanned interceptors wanted to try to break free, but the strong gravitational field was like a pair of powerful Buddha’s palms, firmly pressing them to death.
The unmanned interceptors behind opened fire at the vortex in front, but their plasma beams were also twisted and sucked in together, without causing any ripples.
Facing such a terrifying galaxy vortex, numbers lost any meaning at this moment.
No matter how many drones there were, they could not fill this gravitational vortex that distorted time and space.
Without the protection of the interceptors, Durham’s warships could only face the Mother Ship overhead!
Seeing that the unmanned interceptors had been almost captured, the Mother Ship also fought back. This time it was its turn to open the eyes of the Durham Protoss.
In an instant, a scarlet high-energy ray was projected from the Mother Ship and hit a Durham aircraft carrier directly.
Without the slightest pause, the ray easily penetrated the heavy armor shell of the aircraft carrier, like a high-temperature knife cutting solidified butter, silky and smooth.
Even the destroyer behind the aircraft carrier was affected, cut off in the middle, and exploded on the spot.
With just one strike, an aircraft carrier of the Daram Fleet was scrapped, and the warship broke into two and crashed on the Xel’Naga World Ship.
And this death blow, like the coming of the god of death, did not stop. More and more warships fell and crashed on the surface of the world ship.
This is the cruelty of interstellar war. Whenever there is a gap in the technological weapons of both sides, the result of the battle is obvious.
There are no fancy space tactics to defeat the strong with the weak, only ruthless stepping on the head and being crushed and beaten!
For everything that happened in front of him, Lugia saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, but this was not the time to lose his temper.
It issued emergency retreat orders one after another, hoping to save more warships and find a way to leave this dangerous area.
The rays of the Tal’darim Mother Ship are indeed very powerful, but correspondingly, multiple releases of rays also require more charging time, which gives the Daram Fleet a glimmer of hope.
But before they could be happy for too long, more Tal’darim fleets gathered around, including the Colossi that had been modified by the Tal’darim, which they called “Wreckers”.
The appearance of the Wreckers was not much different from that of the Colossi, but their weapons had changed from thermal rays to charged explosive bombs, which enabled them to destroy warships.
Its power was no less than that of the Yamato guns.
When the explosive bombs emitting dazzling light hit another Protoss aircraft carrier, the shield energy had been reduced to the critical value, which caused the projectile to burn through the armor plate of the warship almost without any hindrance.
The high temperature instantly ignited a flame, messing up the interior of the warship. The combat capability of the aircraft carrier was greatly reduced and almost collapsed.
Immediately afterwards, the Tal’darim launched a more fierce attack. Under the continuous bombardment of explosive bombs, the aircraft carrier finally could not bear the dense artillery and crashed into the world ship after being shattered.
The other two Void Rays suffered the same fate. They crashed and collapsed under the attack of the Sky Punisher. The rest of the frigates and destroyers were useless and had no practical effect.
On the entire space battlefield, only Lugia’s flagship was left.
At this moment, the Protoss mothership had just released a small number of unmanned interceptors to counterattack and kept retreating.
But these interceptors were completely useless in front of the Sky Punisher. A single shot basically cleared out these drones.
There are also some Darram troops who are still staying in place to replenish shield energy and cannot directly enter the tearing field to help cover.
They can only sit and wait anxiously.
Before the energy of the shield force field is fully replenished, they can only watch from the outside. Otherwise, even if they rush in to save people, they will be disintegrated into molecules by the tearing field.
Just as these Sky Punishers were preparing to focus on the last Darram warship, several dazzling beams suddenly came from a distance.
Before the Tal’darim warriors could react, the front Sky Punisher was suddenly shot in the head, like tofu dregs shattered by bullets.
That was the war moonlight spear attack of the Universal Corporation. After seeing Naion’s trump card clearly, it was the turn of the Corporation to appear next!
“The power of their galaxy vortex force field is not much different from our gravitational field. We must pay attention to keep a safe distance and strive for a favorable position first.”
Through the careful observation just now, Terrence has roughly figured out the capabilities and details of the Tal’darim Mothership.
Since this Mothership is only capable of this, it is now their turn to turn the tide!
“The Sixth Expeditionary Corps of the Universe Enterprise, attack with all your forces——!”
With Terrence’s order, the huge space fleet of the Enterprise suddenly lifted the concealment force field and appeared out of thin air at the other end of the Xel’Naga Worldship.
This scene shocked all the Protoss warriors in the audience.
Especially Lugia, it didn’t realize when the formation of the Universe Enterprise came to this battlefield.
If it hadn’t seen it with its own eyes, it would have thought that the Enterprise’s warships were still halfway.
The local Tal’darim troops looked up and saw three giant ships like gods, standing at one end of the space with great momentum, looking down on all the creatures present.
The Sojourner Dreadnought, the Moon of War, and the Long Night, no matter which one, are several times larger than their Mothership!
Among them, the largest War Moon megastructure has a huge body with a diameter of 200 kilometers.
“Do these warships really exist…!”
Looking at the three huge warships, as well as countless densely packed cruisers and frigates, Lugia recalled that when he landed on the planet Bysher before, he didn’t seem to observe the human fleet carefully.
It was not until now that he saw clearly how magnificent the warships of the giant enterprise were.
For a moment, Lugia’s memory flashed back to the first time he saw the Spear of Adun warship.
That ultimate apocalyptic ark with a length of nearly 100 kilometers was the ceiling-class warship in his mind.
But the warships in the human camp can actually build such a huge warship, which is simply incredible.
The technological starting point of humans and Protoss is so different that it is impossible to have such a warship, let alone a warship of five kilometers in length, even a warship of two kilometers in length.
It is also a top luxury flagship in the human world!
Lugia couldn’t figure out the reason, but this was a normal result for the giant enterprise.
After all, these technological weapons were all obtained for free.
Unlike Lugia who was stunned by the shock, Naion, who had seen the power of the giant enterprise warships before, began to panic.
As early as the planet of Bysher, it was the fleet of the Universal Enterprise that forcibly disintegrated the galaxy orbital defense system that Naion had painstakingly built.
In the end, the Tal’darim were forced to move and moved to this abandoned Xel’Naga world ship.
In that space battle, Naion almost wrote off his few Void Rays.
Now seeing this powerful battleship formation appear here again, Naion suddenly recalled his unbearable experience.
In the face of the powerful battleship strength of the giant enterprise, even this mother ship could not bring it much sense of security.
