Chapter 427: A sharp turn for the worse
A few minutes ago, in the command room of the Troll Army, Ted looked at the Star Obliterator Cannon fired by Cersei with a flickering look in his eyes.
"This Horus is really an indestructible little cockroach. After the 'Black Bridge Fiasco', I thought he would never recover. Unexpectedly, after only a few years of silence, he became the commander of the expeditionary force again."
Ted couldn't help but sigh:
"It's a pity that if the parliament hadn't backstabbed him this time, he might have really returned to his peak."
"It's not that simple. Horus wouldn't be that stupid." Raymond shook his head and stared at the battle situation, and Donovan did the same.
Looking at Donovan who was extremely focused, Ted couldn't help but get angry and said unhappily, "At this point, do you still think the parliament will fail?"
I don't know what's wrong with this subordinate, he is inexplicably full of confidence in Li Yu. Doesn't this just enhance his own prestige and destroy his own ambition?
The Council had already prepared means to deal with Horus, and the hope of Guixing's comeback was slim.
This shot was at most a last-ditch effort and could not have much impact on the battle situation.
Donovan was scolded for no reason and couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved. He was just expressing his thoughts.
Before he could open his mouth to explain, a dazzling purple light burst out from a corner of the virtual combat sandbox, attracting everyone's attention.
"It's that pair of gloves, they're still on him..." Ted raised his eyebrows.
After the battle with Stuart, many forces speculated that the gloves should be taken back.
Because Li Yu is too conspicuous now, the best way is to temporarily take back the gloves.
But now it seems that many people have guessed wrong.
What followed was black thunder that covered tens of thousands of kilometers, and the giant bronze shield extending from it was even more astonishing.
"Nightmare Shield!?"
Ted stared at the huge shield that emerged from the black thunder. It was the weapon of the Nightmare Knight.
He once shone brightly in several wars between gods and had a great reputation.
I didn't expect that the parliament not only brought the golden crown, but also the nightmare shield. This is a decisive situation.
"He can still run away like this?" Ted looked at his subordinates with interest.
It’s not that he wanted to make things difficult for Donovan. In fact, he was quite optimistic about this young man, but for some things that happened in the Ancient Waterway.
Donovan fell into a state of madness, and his behavior of abandoning his teammates during the Battle of Amethyst made Ted lose interest in training him.
And now he is inexplicably confident in Li Yu, and knows how to make Ted feel comfortable.
"This..." Donovan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The parliament is well prepared. Under such circumstances, he will most likely be arrested."
But after hearing Donovan's evaluation, Ted was obviously dissatisfied. He frowned and asked, "High probability? Do you still think he can escape?"
"Which civilization do you belong to?"
"This..." Donovan looked embarrassed and was speechless to his own legion commander. If you want to hear "Li Yu will definitely be caught", just say it directly, and don't pretend to ask for my opinion.
I told you but you 're still not happy. Donovan naturally didn't dare to show anything. It's not like he couldn't say something that belittled Li Yu.
When he was about to make up for it, Raymond suddenly rushed to the virtual combat sandbox, his eyes wide open, staring at a corner of the interstellar space.
Raymond's movement attracted the attention of the two men. Ted ignored Donovan and looked at the virtual combat sand table.
Then, an expression of great astonishment appeared on his face, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
…
On the battlefield, many warships have not yet recovered from the aftermath of the collision between the [Infinity Gauntlet] and the Nightmare Shield.
The purple light ball continued to impact the Nightmare Shield, and the energy ball continued to spread out layers of ripples.
However, at this moment, the combat systems of many warships sounded the alarm again...
"Warning, warning, gravity coefficient fluctuation detected, suspected precursor to a large-scale attack!"
“…”
The gravity coefficient of the entire battlefield fluctuated slightly.
This is not a phenomenon that can be ignored. Basic interstellar coefficients such as gravity coefficient, space coefficient, and energy spectrum are all under the monitoring of various devices.
Because every change in the coefficient represents an upcoming super powerful attack.
Under normal circumstances, the gravity coefficient in interstellar space will not be easily changed.
Especially when both sides have stood still, the interstellar fortress that is most likely to affect the gravity coefficient has not moved.
The gravity coefficient is still fluctuating. The only possibility is that a substantial large-scale attack is imminent, affecting the gravity coefficient of this interstellar space.
"What is that?" A soldier standing guard in the porthole suddenly saw a bright golden light in a corner of the battlefield, and it was expanding rapidly at an extremely fast speed.
"Warning, a large-scale entity structure has been discovered. The specific structure is being inspected."
The combat systems of all parties were constantly operating and issued warnings at the same time. On the holographic screen, they all witnessed an astonishing scene.
The brilliant golden light quickly expanded to the size of a planet, and vaguely one could see the illusory metal structure gradually forming a solid entity.
Mechanical parts appear in the real universe, according to the perfect design, and appear exactly where they should be.
The gray-white metal surface is full of solemn mechanical style. There is no unnecessary design, and only the heavy imperial style comes to the face.
It was formed extremely quickly. It took less than a minute from the time the first soldier discovered the golden light to the complete formation of the [Death Star].
At the same time, the huge grooved metal pit on the surface slowly lit up, and the super material reactor began to operate.
The operation of the entire Death Star requires the concerted efforts of tens of thousands of people, but just to mobilize the main gun, only Little Noisy is needed to coordinate.
"Where the hell is this interstellar fortress from!?"
Heward was extremely stunned. He did not receive any reports of spatial coefficient fluctuations, which meant that the other party did not come through space teleportation.
Moreover, their space blocking equipment was functioning normally and was not interfered with.
But if it wasn't for space teleportation, how could this interstellar fortress appear right behind the "Solar Crown"?
The defensive forces of the Sun Crown are all on the front line to guard against Cersei's Star Obliterator Cannon.
The Nightmare Shield is fighting against that pair of gloves, and the sides and rear of the Sun Crown have almost no defensive power! ?
This interstellar fortress appeared silently, and by the time everyone reacted, it had already been fully charged.
"What's going on with this interstellar fortress!?"
Rohan was equally surprised. The power of the purple light fist had not been completely blocked, and the Nightmare Shield was almost unable to move.
If the Nightmare Knight himself was here, there would be no problem for him to calmly control the Nightmare Shield, but he is only a subordinate god.
"Wow, what a cool interstellar fortress!?" Otto couldn't help but exclaimed.
"All I care about is whether he's a friend or an enemy!?"
"It attacked, and its target was... the Sun Crown!"
"It's friendly forces!"
Many senior generals of Guixing cheered in the channel. In this situation, receiving support from friendly forces was undoubtedly a shot in the arm.
Horus was breathing heavily, with a strange look in his eyes. That was the support from the alien camp, and they actually sent out an interstellar fortress directly.
Moreover, it appears in just the right place.
How did they break through the Parliament’s space blockade? Do they also have technology similar to space anchors?
How come there is no trace of any activity by a force with such high level of technology?
Human energy is limited, and the same is true for large forces. It is difficult to involve the awakening of superpowers when studying genetics.
Researching the spiritual level, there are no resources to remanufacture mechanical production lines.
So large research institutes all have their own focus, but what is the focus of this different-latitude camp ?
The brilliance of the main gun tore through the haze that shrouded the Guixing Expeditionary Force, carrying their hopes, like a roaring dragon, fiercely bombarding the side and rear of the Sun Crown.
The only thing that could withstand this attack was a temporarily mobilized energy shield. However, this weak energy shield was naturally useless in front of the thick beam of light.
It was easily torn apart by the main gun of the Death Star, and the destructive energy poured fiercely into the sun's crown, causing it to tremble under the heavy burden, as if it was about to break!
The moment the two came into contact, a sweeping golden shock wave spread out, rapidly expanding to form a hurricane that swept everything.
The energy ripples created by the initial impact were clearly visible to everyone.
There was a violent explosion on the metal surface of the Sun's Crown, and a large number of mechanical parts quickly melted under the continuous energy impact.
The energy attack continued to penetrate deeper into the core of the fortress, and the surface of the entire interstellar fortress cracked with glowing cracks.
The next moment, an even more terrifying explosion expanded from the core of the fortress, and large pieces of mechanical parts broke apart and flew into the starry sky.
The entire sun crown was completely shattered!
The shock wave swept through the surrounding warships again, but this time it did not cause much impact, and only strengthened the energy supply of the shields.
"The Sun Crown exploded?" Heward stared blankly at the scene in front of him.
Since this operation was initially initiated by Sun Senator, the interstellar fortress dispatched also belongs to Sun Senator.
No matter which force or civilization wants to build a complete interstellar fortress, it is not an easy task and requires huge amounts of effort and resources.
Before coming, he could never have imagined that the Sun Crown would explode.
It is extremely difficult to destroy a complete interstellar fortress, as the defense facilities it carries are top-notch.
With the assistance of combat personnel, it can basically be said to be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
But the first line of defense was held back by Cersei's Starkiller, and the Nightmare Shield had to defend against the gloves.
And the most crucial thing is that no one could have expected that an interstellar fortress would suddenly emerge in the parliament’s camp.
This is equivalent to being in a gang fight, and suddenly a big man with a gun appears among your subordinates and shoots a volley of bullets at the back of your head. Who could have imagined this?
Their space blockade device was functioning normally and was not damaged or interfered with at all.
And that strange interstellar fortress suddenly appeared there and fired a shot at the Sun Crown.
Heward could hardly accept the fact.
"Where is this interstellar fortress?" Ted was also confused: "Is the space blockade area of the parliament a sieve?"
Are all those gods in the parliament stupid? They haven't even done a good job of blocking the space in their own camp, so why are they fighting?
How could we allow the enemy's interstellar fortress to appear in our own camp?
"No..." Raymond shook his head. He split out a holographic screen, which showed the scene of the Death Star being constructed.
"I feel like this interstellar fortress has been built, but the process has been shortened countless times."
"Built?" Ted was a little confused, but he didn't think about it for too long. Suddenly he thought of something and looked at Donovan with strange eyes.
Donovan was clenching his fists at the moment, looking at the virtual combat sand table, and whispered, "It's like this again. We can't delay in dealing with this guy. The longer we delay, the more variables there will be."
"Donovan..." Ted called.
Donovan came back to his senses and looked up at his own legion commander.
"Judging from the current results, your speculation is not wrong. The parliament has indeed failed." Ted said calmly.
He did not feel like he was slapped in the face by his subordinates. Instead, he felt proud in front of Raymond. He said with relief:
"You have a long-term vision, I am not wrong."
Donovan's previous speculation seemed like nonsense, but now it seems quite far-sighted.
Donovan looked a little confused. He didn't have any long-term vision.
It was just based on the experience of many struggles and by forcibly ignoring the influence of realistic factors that he believed that Li Yu could escape.
Normal battle situation speculation needs to take many factors into consideration.
But Donovan forced himself to ignore other factors and was determined that no matter how powerful the force was or how many warships were dispatched.
As long as you delay, there is a possibility of failure. The longer you delay, the higher the possibility of failure.
Any normal person with a little bit of common sense would scoff at such speculation, but this time he guessed right.
"I misunderstood you before." Ted's virtual projection patted Donovan's virtual projection, his tone full of emotion.
Hmm? Donovan keenly sensed that something was wrong. Ever since the failure of the Ancient Channel mission, he could clearly feel that the Legion Commander was very disappointed in him.
Especially after the Battle of Amethyst, there was a vague intention to ignore him.
But now this attitude seems to have changed, as if he is going to be reused again.
Is it because of Li Yu?
Donovan felt a sense of absurdity. It was natural for him to be happy that he was being taken seriously, but because of Li Yu, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
However, since the commander had already hinted at it, he couldn't just sit there and react. He straightened up and said, "I will definitely live up to the commander's trust and do everything I can to capture Li Yu!"
"Li Yu?" Ted shook his head. "You don't have to focus on him. Although you have escaped the attack of the parliament, don't forget that there are more than just two of them on this battlefield."
“And us!”
